Before the artillery reprisal ended, Situ Lin had already led his troops to the eastern side of the position.
During the march, Situ Lin assigned the tasks.
The three tank companies deployed in sequence in platoons at the northeast of the position, maintaining a 200-meter interval; the battalion's security platoon, directly commanded by Situ Lin, was at the northernmost side.
As for the two reinforced mechanized infantry companies, they followed the tank companies, responsible for the rear once the battle started, and providing cover during retreat.
According to standard tactics, the infantry fighting vehicles of the two mechanized infantry companies stayed a few kilometers behind.
After the counterattack began, the infantry would disembark and set up defensive positions.
If the counterattack encountered trouble, for example, if the task was not completed and retreat was necessary, anti-tank missiles would be used to attack the enemy's armored vehicles.
