Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

Chapter 709: Assessment Begins (Updated 524 yesterday. 1 additional chapter)

Zhao Cheng brought several captains and squadron leaders to the front-line command center. Looking at the jagged situation and complex terrain on the central sand table, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Instructor, how many people did you bring this time?" Long Chenggong asked.

"Only twenty-two people from our armed police force special forces team made it to the assessment this time. How about you?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"We only have fifty-six qualified new recruits, and there are only seventy-eight of us on both sides combined! It's a bit difficult for such a small number of people to change the situation on the front line," said Sun Dawei.

"I just heard you say that the enemy on the opposite side is sending reinforcements to the front line?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"Yes, after our observation, the number of enemy troops here has basically doubled!" Lan Tianye said, pointing to a high ground on the map.

Zhao Cheng looked at the high ground that Lan Tianye pointed out and thought in his heart.

These heights were salient points of the enemy, like nails driven into our positions. In these places, the actual fighting distance between the two armies might be as short as 200 to 300 meters.

"I heard that Wei Lai and his men were carrying out a cold gun campaign on the front line. What were the results?" Zhao Cheng suddenly asked.

"Except for Wei Lai who killed nearly a hundred people, the number of kills by the others was less than fifty. And the area where they were active was probably in this area!" Dong Yun said, pointing to the eastern part of the front line.

"The enemy wants to launch a surprise attack on us!" said Zhao Cheng.

Many captains were stunned by Zhao Cheng's words.

"Instructor, do you mean this is the prelude to the enemy's attack?" Li Yun asked.

"That's right. Wei Lai and his men are operating in the eastern part of the front. Their actions have led the enemy to mistakenly believe that we will attack them from the eastern part of the front! Because they don't know that Wei Lai and his men are just conducting experiments in the arsenal! Therefore, behind the enemy's eastern front, there must be a lot of troops gathered, setting up ambushes and waiting for our attack!" Zhao Cheng said, pointing to the mountains behind the eastern front.

"So they are increasing the troops here to strengthen their defense? Are they afraid that we will play a feint to the east and attack in the west with them?" Sun Dawei said.

"That's right, but we can't rule out the possibility that they will launch an attack on us!" said Zhao Cheng.

"What do you mean?" Long Chenggong asked curiously.

"We know that Wei Lai and his men are testing the new guns, but the enemy doesn't know. Their actions are very much like harassing the enemy before the attack, so that the enemy dare not show up. This is very much like covering the troops' ambush. Once the enemy has such an understanding, while they are doing a good job of defense on the rear line, it is also very likely that the enemy will think that their opportunity to attack has also come! That is the western front, let's have a two-way fight! After all, this is our old tradition, and those enemies are the teams taught by the old brigade commander and others!" Zhao Cheng said with emotion.

If we hadn't helped, North Vietnam would have been completely unified by South Vietnam. South Vietnam, as a lackey of the United States, would have harassed us endlessly, just like the situation between North and South Korea.

So we supported North Vietnam, providing them with both men and money. Troops lacking combat effectiveness? We'll train them. Commanders unable to fight? We'll train them.

At the same time, we also told the enemy not to cross the 17th parallel north. Back then, we told the United States not to cross the 38th parallel, but the enemy refused to listen, so we sent troops to push them back.

Now tell the enemy not to cross the 17th parallel north, and they will do as you say.

After the victory, North Vietnam successfully annexed South Vietnam and completed their unification.

But once they were unified, they began to dream unrealistic dreams, and when faced with our discussions, they treated us as enemies!

They started burning, killing, and looting our border residents, and expelled the overseas Chinese! In the end, we gave them a good lesson!

So even though the enemy suffered a great loss at our hands, they regarded our voluntary retreat as a sign of weakness?

And the Russians behind us are constantly giving blood transfusions to the enemy, allowing them to continue fighting us.

Although these guys acted like little kids when facing us, their military skills were not weak. This was why Zhao Cheng thought they wanted to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.

"This little monkey wants to learn to be a wild boar? Aren't they afraid that our attack from the west is just a feint?" Sun Dawei frowned as he looked at the sand table.

"These wild monkeys want to learn to act like wild boars? I think they are just stupid! How about we move the assessment location to the west, gather all the teams, and ambush them from all sides in the east?" Lan Tianye drew a circle on the sand table and said excitedly.

"No, for such a large operation, without the order of the military district, the consequences will be serious if we act on our own," said Long Chenggong.

Lan Tianye's eyes dimmed. Lao Longzi was right. To mobilize so many special forces, an order from the military region was necessary.

"How come you haven't figured it out after all these years? Special forces are not ordinary field troops. Our fighting style is not positional warfare, and the way we judge our combat effectiveness is not based on the number of enemies killed! Our special forces are a strategic force, a force that can surprise the enemy and deliver a fatal blow!" Zhao Cheng said angrily.

He really wanted to pry open these guys' heads and see what was inside! How come after all these years, there are still people thinking of using special forces to fight positional warfare?

After hearing what Zhao Cheng said, several team leaders came to their senses. They were indeed a little too excited and had forgotten the instructor's teachings.

"Then what do you want to do?" Long Chenggong asked.

"Notify the military district of the current situation! Ask them to send troops to strengthen the defense of this area to prevent the enemy from really attacking us from here! All special forces teams must assemble and drive to the west side of the front line, and the movement must be carried out in a high-profile manner." Zhao Cheng said.

"Instructor wants to attack the enemy from the west?" Sun Dawei blurted out.

"Have you eaten too many flying dragons on your brain? If the special forces can't fight positional warfare, can they fight offensive warfare?" Zhao Cheng said angrily.

Sun Dawei touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Instructor, what exactly do you mean by making such a big fuss?" Dong Yun asked?

"Let's go to the west with great fanfare to support Wei Lai! Is that okay?" Zhao Cheng rolled his eyes at Dong Yun and said unhappily.

Dong Yun also followed in Sun Dawei's footsteps and ran to the back, touching the back of his head?

"Instructor, you don't want to explode in the center, do you? But we don't have so many troops?" Long Chenggong looked at Zhao Cheng, then at the sand table, and said in surprise.
