Plot
As the military exercises "Shield" come to a close, the "Southern" forces, consisting of a naval fleet, marines, and an airborne regiment, prepare to attack the "Northern" forces defending an airfield with a coastal battery, motorized rifle regiment, and a security battalion. "Northern" saboteurs infiltrate the "Southern" perimeter by hiding in a grain transport vehicle and capture the Southern airborne regiment's chief of staff, along with classified documents, disarming Lieutenant Tarasov and Warrant Officer Volentir in the process.In response, the Southern command deploys a diversionary squad behind Northern lines, including Tarasov, Volentir, and two marines: Shvets and Zinovyeva. The team captures Northern Colonel Moroshkin, who turns out to have intentionally exposed himself while hiding a radio beacon on his body. Tarasov sees through the deception and foils the pursuit by hiding the beacon in a sheep's wool. The team infiltrates a coastal battery, seizing control of the firing system, and then moves through tunnels to the Northern airfield, where they raid a mobile command post and seize classified documents from General Nefyodov. Eventually, the Southern commander reveals that the captured documents were a ruse, orders the team to return, and a climactic chase ensues, resulting in Volentir’s injury and a Northern vehicle sinking in a swamp. As the mission ends, the Southern forces begin a full-scale assault.
