I asked you to repeat your senior year of high school, but did you miss out on joining the military

Chapter 466: Forming a special team, you have a criminal record for this.
Chen Jun's worries are not groundless.

When a new unit is formed to a certain extent, the military district will inevitably pull it out to test its combat effectiveness.

We will certainly not allow the units below to remain under renovation forever.

As for why he was targeting the air defense brigade, especially the anti-aircraft artillery battalion.

Let's just put it that way.

Chen Jun has a certain degree of confidence in defeating the entire air defense brigade, whether it is the Hongqi series of surface-to-air missile vehicles or the Land Shield air defense system, by fighting hard.

Break these air defense measures and fight on the front battlefield.

But the most difficult one is the PGZ-09 twin-barrel 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun of the air defense brigade.

This big guy is much more expensive than the 99A main battle tank. The cost of one anti-aircraft gun is estimated to be equivalent to that of three 99A tanks.

Of course, expensive things have their own value.

Other missile vehicles.

The assistance of navigation vehicles, radar vehicles, and search vehicles are also needed to complete the ground-to-air fire interception.

This PGZ-09 twin-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is equipped with a pulse Doppler radar and an enemy identification system. It can directly lock onto missiles launched from a distance of kilometers.

The firepower was extremely fierce.

It can be said that the gun barrel is pointed to the sky, it can shoot down airplanes and intercept missiles, and it is very effective.

Put the gun barrel flat, and use it to attack tanks and infantry, it's very powerful.

Anyway, there is nothing it can't beat.

Otherwise, Chen Jun wouldn't be so concerned about it.

It can be said that once the 179th Brigade is really selected to be sent to the battlefield, then based on the brigade's long-range fire capabilities, it will be able to break the blockade of the air defense brigade.

Not to mention it's just a pipe dream, but we will basically be badly beaten and it will be difficult to take down the air defense brigade.

Chen Jun stood in front of the other party's artillery vehicle, feeling both love and hate. Synthetic air defense has always been relatively weak, even at the brigade level.

This thing should be moved away and given to the 179th Brigade.

Chen Jun stared at it for a while, then scratched his head and looked at the firepower advisor beside him, and said casually: "Old Li, estimate this artillery. Based on the firepower of our artillery battalion, what are the chances of winning?"

"Don't underestimate the Chief of Staff."

When Old Li heard this, he kicked the track of the artillery vehicle and said with a smile: "A single artillery piece is nothing, but the air defense brigade has a surface-to-air missile defense system. With this thing, the firepower of our brigade is really overwhelming."

"This thing can block drone attacks. It can lock onto drones autonomously within 3000 kilometers and can accurately intercept drones at a distance of kilometers. The range and altitude can reach meters."

"The most annoying thing is that in addition to being equipped with a pulse L-band Doppler search radar, it also has a fire control tracking radar, an independent optoelectronic fire control system, a laser rangefinder, an infrared angle meter, and a thermal imaging tracker."

"With these things, we can respond autonomously even if we are attacked electronically or the power is down."

"It's useless for us to study this. It's very difficult to fight."

It's really hard to fight
Professional matters should be handled by professionals.

Chen Jun is quite familiar with these tanks, but he is not as good as these veteran staff officers in terms of specific performance issues.

But it doesn't matter if the battle is difficult. Chen Jun is well aware of how difficult it is for the 179th Brigade to keep advancing all the way.

In the future, a large amount of resources will be tilted towards the brigade.

If the first battle is defeated, it will inevitably affect subsequent developments. After all, the 179th Brigade is now overrated.

Chen Jun doesn't want to lose, and can't afford to lose.

Otherwise, he had been running around so anxiously these days that several military units would have become familiar with him.

As a result, Brigade Commander Tang Zhentang of the Artillery Brigade and Brigade Commander Cui Baicui of the Air Defense Brigade heard that Chen Jun was going to their units.

That would be as natural as hearing someone eating or drinking. If he really didn't go one day, these brigade commanders might feel something was wrong.

Walked around the artillery.

Chen Jun took Lao Li and left the air defense brigade and prepared to return to the unit.

We cannot defeat these equipments of the air defense brigade head-on, or we cannot do anything about them.

But it doesn’t mean there is no way out.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy. He came here just to learn more about the combat systems of other units.

Damn it, if I can’t break your air defense system, I’ll cut off your logistical supplies.

The air defense brigade is composed entirely of large tanks from top to bottom, which can be classified as heavy mechanized. All vehicles have either wheels or tracks.

They are all big oil drinkers.

To be honest, Chen Jun had never considered cutting off logistics as a combat method when he was on the battlefield during training exercises before.

Mainly it doesn't make sense.

The firepower I encountered before was not as strong as his.

Even for a division-level unit like the 124th Division, Chen Jun never considered cutting off their logistics.

The first reason was that the battlefield was too large, and the battalion-level units at the time did not have the ability to stretch such a long front line and seek logistics support from others.

The second is that it’s useless even if you find it.

The firepower cannot be distributed. Even if it is successfully cut off, a division-level unit will have too many backups.

With the strength of the First Battalion at that time that could dominate the battlefield, they would not be afraid of them in a head-on confrontation, so why bother?

But not anymore.

As synthesis and informatization become more and more popular, the gaps between units are getting smaller and smaller. If you want to gain an advantage on the battlefield, you must never use your own weaknesses to attack the strengths of others.

The best strategy is to use your own strengths to counter the enemy's weaknesses.

Back to the 179th Brigade.

Chen Jun arranged for Lao Li to write a detailed assessment report as soon as possible based on his observations over the past few days.

He has to prepare for the battle with all his strength.

Then he arranged for Li Wujie to notify the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Xiao Jianfeng, and the company commander of the brigade's direct guard company, Zhang Li, to come to the General Staff Headquarters.

Although the combined firepower of the brigade is strong, there are no problems with its personnel configuration and firepower configuration.

There is enough manpower to carry out additional tasks.

But for such an insidious fighting method as cutting off logistics, surely we cannot simply deploy a combined battalion, right?

Isn't that just telling people clearly that I'm going to go to your lair and steal your home?

It's better to be cautious. After everything was arranged, Chen Jun turned around and went to the brigade commander's office to inquire about the news in the army in the past two days.

After all, it has always been Chen Jun’s guess that the 179th Brigade will be arranged to fight a battle in the near future. There is no news yet on the specific arrangements.

This is the brigade commander's office.

Feng Qiuhu was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and chatting with political commissar Xu Wensheng as he had nothing to do at noon.

See Chen Jun coming over.

Feng Lu looked up and glanced at him, then pointed to the sofa beside him: "Sit down."

"I just saw you running out again in the middle of the day. Which unit did you go to today?"

"air defense."

Chen Jun had become familiar with the brigade commander and the political commissar and they saw each other all day long. When there were no outsiders around, Chen Jun no longer insisted on saluting every time they met.

He sat on the sofa next to him with his trouser legs pulled up.

"Brigade Commander, is there any news from the army these days?"

After Chen Jun sat down, he couldn't wait to ask.

It would have been better if he hadn't asked.

After hearing this, the brigade commander and the political commissar looked at each other and then burst into laughter at the same time.

Feng Qiuhu was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth: "Look, Old Xu, I told you that when Chen Jun came back from outside, the first thing he did was to ask me about the news from the military region."

"If this kid has nothing to do, he won't come over to sit with me."

Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Xu Wensheng just grinned and shook his head without saying anything.

After all, all the cadres of the 179th Brigade knew Chen Jun's temperament: he was a person who could not sit still.

It was better before I went to Xijing. I sat in the office honestly for half a month every day. But since I came back, I have been busy again.

Restrain your smile.

Brigade Feng looked at Chen Jun and said, "The military district hasn't had any clear news recently, so don't take things so lightly."

"Right now, the combined forces brigade is highly valued by the entire army. Any progress is extremely rare, and the higher-ups definitely want to see results."

"But this is not something the military has the final say on. If we want to have the combined forces brigade test its combat effectiveness, we still have to see what the theater says."

"But I think there will be results soon."

Chen Jun was not surprised by the news.

There are naturally the above considerations.

After all, everyone is now trying hard to develop synthesis and adapt to informatization in case they have to arrange exercises or confrontations.

The deployment of a brigade-level unit is bound to attract the attention of the entire army.

If the fight is done well and the desired effect is achieved, everyone will be happy.

But if the battle is not fought well, and there are problems in command or firepower coordination, it may not be a good thing at this critical juncture.

War is all about using any possible means.

The higher-ups want to see the fruits of the combined forces brigade, but in this kind of situation, no one can guarantee that if a real fight breaks out, they will definitely see fruits.

On the battlefield.

Once the artillery fires, the commander's ability to respond becomes a test.

Whether it is meeting a worthy opponent or a talented general, these are not issues that a new unit can easily try.

After all, the joint training hasn't started yet, so what's the point of doing that?

If the battle goes terribly wrong, it will also be a psychological blow to other units.

But Chen Jun came here this time not to ask the military district's opinion.

This is just incidental.

He came here mainly to ask the brigade commander whether he should train some soldiers separately in the brigade to specialize in some sneaky tactics.

For example, doing miscellaneous work like logistics.

After thinking for a while, Chen Jun said, "Brigade Commander, I just went to the air defense brigade again and took a look at their equipment."

"Including the long-range fire battalion of the artillery brigade and the drone brigade of the special operations brigade, the firepower configuration of these units is very difficult."

"I'm thinking about whether we should form a special reconnaissance team to guide our ground firepower."

"A special team?"

When Feng Qiuhu heard this, he and Xu Wensheng looked at each other without asking any more questions.

"You tell me first."

"Yes."

Chen Jun nodded.

"I think our brigade will face considerable challenges in the subsequent operations. It is easy to be targeted if we rely solely on our current firepower."

"The main reason is that too many people have come to our brigade to study. Even those commanders who are not synthetic units are very familiar with our organization and firepower."

"It's very passive to fight like this."

"I plan to select some reconnaissance soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion and the direct guard company, and find additional people for training."

"When necessary, we can carry out the marking mission unexpectedly."

"They may not be used in combat, but they are a special force because our current organization is too transparent."

Chen Jun did not mention the air defense capabilities of the air defense brigade. After all, he chose it randomly.

The military district will not necessarily let him fight with the air defense brigade.

But there’s certainly nothing wrong with preparing for a rainy day.

When Feng Qiuhu heard what Chen Jun said, he suddenly remembered the military training at the beginning of last year's National Day.

It seems that the drone company that Chen Jun arranged to come here has done this kind of thing before.

Neither the armored battalion nor the mechanized infantry battalion under the armored division noticed it at the time, which led to five battalions being almost wiped out by a round of long-range fire.

This matter has a criminal record.
