Chapter 533: Missed Opportunity, Decisive Battle Coming

In the battle outside A17, although both sides had fierce firepower, neither chose to advance recklessly, and the casualties were almost negligible.

At most, it just looks like a lively fight.

This stalemate situation did not make the Russian soldiers take it lightly.

Just behind the tanks' defensive line.

A group of tall and strong Russians were holding shovels and digging trenches against the clock.

The whale fall tactic was just an apparent delay; their purpose was to attract the main battlefield to this side and prevent the more than one hundred people lurking there from being exposed in advance.

In terms of tactical application, these Russians are actually not necessarily weaker than the field army. They are also capable of all kinds of fancy operations.

In terms of fighting spirit, many bear soldiers consider themselves to be Slavic people, and in their history there is the most grand and sacred patriotic war in the history of human warfare.

Their purpose is not to serve anyone, but to be infinitely loyal to their leader.

Therefore, the 169th Brigade is also determined to win this joint military exercise.

Commander Anton of the Central Military Region personally went to the military camp to mobilize them one month before the war. Brigade Commander Victor even ate, lived and trained with all the officers and soldiers of the brigade.

Encourage them to defeat the field army.

However, as the two troops that have dealt with each other most frequently in recent years, the Russian commanders are very clear that according to the field army's usual combat characteristics.

They have always been at peace if they don't move, but once they move, it must be with force like thunder and lightning, sweeping across the battlefield. They absolutely cannot relax.

It can be said that the vanguard battalion was ready to die, vowing to buy time for the large force in the rear and to keep the main battlefield in this location.

The commander of the vanguard battalion was named Sergei.

At this time, Lao Xie was also wearing a helmet, standing behind the defense line and observing the enemy's helicopter with a telescope.

Dozens of helicopters hovering at low altitude were almost all attracted to this side of the battle.

Anyway, for the time being, neither side dares to push the battle line rashly. Helicopters are powerful, but the anti-machine sniper rifles in their hands are no joke.

Plus individual missiles.

Once the distance between the two sides is within 500 meters, the casualties will be unpredictable.

There are only thirty helicopters. As long as the hundreds of people here are dispersed, they can definitely withstand it.

Of course, Sergei did not dare to rashly order an advance on the front line.

He just looked back at the bear soldiers who were digging holes and encouraged them: "Dear comrades, we must speed up the digging. For every additional paratrooper pit and machine gun position piled with sandbags, we can hold out for one more minute."

"The Field Army is the low-key king on this planet. When they first established their country, they fought the Americans head-on and were known as the pinnacle of human light infantry."

"Colonel Victor once warned us that the current field army has become more terrifying, like a sword of Damocles hanging over our heads."

“We must persevere!!”

The old Russian soldiers, who had been working very hard, were immediately encouraged when they heard the encouragement from the battalion commander.

The bear soldiers, who had taken a shortcut and had been bumpy all the way, were no longer tired. They didn't even care about the blisters on their hands, and they continued to dig trenches with greater determination.

The Red Explosive Bear officers and soldiers are actively preparing for battle.

Some of the bear soldiers dug holes, while others organized a counterattack.

The air began to be filled with the atmosphere of an impending war.

. . . . . . .

Finally, twenty minutes passed.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate outside the A17 combat zone, there was a burst of smoke in the distance, and dozens of Bobcat all-terrain vehicles came rushing over.

"Over there, those damn Russian soldiers are indeed faster than us!!!"

"Fuck, fuck him!!"

As soon as the light infantry sent by Chen Jun appeared in the combat zone, many veteran soldiers whimpered and pointed at the bear soldiers who were digging holes in the distance.

When the veterans of the 179th Brigade saw the enemy in this exercise, they shouted that they wanted to defeat them, and they were not just talking.

Immediately, many people sat on the vehicles and set up individual rocket launchers, and some soldiers turned over and ran to the back of the Lynx vehicle, holding the mounted heavy machine guns and began to aim.

at the same time.

The light infantry that came over also split into two groups. One part of them got off the vehicle and headed straight to the combat zone to pick up the Lynx vehicle that had just been lifted over by the helicopter.

This group of people does not participate in combat. Their task is to use the speed of the Lynx assault vehicle to disperse to various sniper points in the combat zone in the shortest time possible.

Occupy the buildings and form an all-round firepower sniper network for the entire combat zone to prevent the Russians from taking advantage of the chaos to occupy these buildings and engage in street fighting.

As a heavily armored brigade, the 179th Brigade's firepower is indeed very strong, even so strong that it overflows.

But the field army is really not good at street fighting.

Heavy vehicles such as tanks look powerful, but they cannot be driven into those buildings.

Even if they drove in, due to the narrow road, as long as the first tank was destroyed, all the tanks behind it would be destroyed.

The most powerful of the Russians are the paratroopers, followed by the Guards. They have some experience in street fighting.

But unfortunately, Chen Jun had no intention of wasting time on this with them.

As the light infantry arrived, the helicopter of the Army Aviation Battalion landed immediately and began to replenish ammunition.

Hand over the defensive mission.

According to the rules of the exercise, units from both sides can only score points if they fire in the engagement zone.

But I just met a group of old Russian soldiers, and they don’t give a damn about this.

If they don’t score, then they don’t score. Anyway, they don’t plan to determine the winner based on the final score.

All I want is to annihilate the enemy.

"Brothers, go ahead and kill these old Russians."

"beat!!!"

I don't know who gave the order, nor who shouted first.

In short.

After the Bobcat assault vehicle approached Lao Xie's position within 800 meters, it did not continue the previous confrontation at all.

More than a dozen assault vehicles were spread out in a skirmish line, with the accelerator almost pressed into the fuel tank as they continued to advance.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !
Da da da da da.
Individual missiles were fired from all directions, heavy machine gun bullets rained down, and nearly a company of troops pressed forward together.

The playing style can be described as luxurious.

Individual missiles are like free of charge. After firing a missile, the gun barrel is thrown away and another one is picked up to continue firing.

Good fellows, on weekdays, exercises require coordination, and the most cautious and sneaky infantry.

This time they were finally able to hold their heads high. All the soldiers had fierce looks on their faces and charged forward fearlessly.

Da da da da
Countless bullets poured down and hit the mechanical off-road vehicle with a crackling sound.

The fierce attack stunned the bear soldiers who were digging holes.

What the hell.

Originally, the field army occupied the combat zone first, and they arrived last. If there was to be a charge, it should have been theirs.

Why is it the other way around now?

Sergei angrily threw away the telescope in his hand, his eyes almost spitting fire.

As an officer of the Young Guards Army back then, Lao Xie clearly felt that their Bear Soldier Country had become desolate in recent years.

The field army next door has come from behind and is even slowly catching up with them in overall strength.

Now seeing that the field army did not defend the combat zone but instead took the initiative to attack, this was difficult for Old Xie, who was extremely proud in his bones, to bear.

What was the formation of their bear soldiers like in the past?
When he goes out, he is surrounded by countless younger brothers, and the Americans are all humiliated.

Now, he is looked down upon.

Looking at the field army getting closer and closer, they thought about the Second World War, when the huge battles involving millions of troops were fought by their brave soldiers.

Tens of millions of people died, and after the parade, the soldiers marched directly to the battlefield with the determination to die and singing "Holy War".

Sergei felt a surge of blood and ordered with red eyes: "Stop, comrades, fight for the great motherland, and stop the enemy on all fronts."

Da da da.
The soldiers who were still digging pits and building machine gun lines quickly joined the blocking battle.

The fierce charge by the vanguard light infantry of the 179th Brigade caught the Bear Battalion off guard, and the battle continued to escalate.

The battle losses are also rising. . . . . . . . .

the other side.

Chen Jun, who was following the large force, was watching the battle situation in the combat zone projected by a high-altitude drone.

Seeing that the battle between them and the enemy was almost stalemate, both sides pulled the battle line within 300 meters and fired at each other.

Chen Jun frowned and said nothing.

Seeing this, Fatty He on the side thought that it was because he saw that the vanguard troops did not guard the combat zone as originally ordered.

Fatty He laughed awkwardly and said, "Old Chen, we can't blame them for advancing the front line. If the distance is too far, it will be difficult to consume the enemy's main force."

Realizing that Fatty He had misunderstood him, Chen Jun shook his head slightly, then raised his finger and pointed at the screen: "Old He, do you feel something is wrong?"

"Something's wrong?"

When He Yingtao heard this, his fat head almost hit the screen. He looked at it carefully for a long time before shaking his head.

"There's nothing wrong."

"The enemy troops arrived a little later than our Army Aviation Corps. They set up a defense line outside the combat zone and tried to counterattack. This is nothing."

"is it?"

Chen Jun grinned and said, "Since they have to build a defense line anyway, why don't they build it on the terrain between two peaks and one gully?"

"Although the terrain there is not open, at least the two wings are not easily attacked, which is the best way to delay time. The gentle slope is also suitable for fighting. The lower end of the slope is a designated combat zone, so at least we can look down from a high position."

"There were two advantageous terrains, and the other side didn't choose either."

"Also, why do I feel like the number of people in the other party's vanguard camp is not right?"

"The Russian army battalions usually have around 169 men. The th Brigade is a mechanized unit that needs people to operate the machinery. The vanguard battalion may not be organized according to the organization, so it shouldn't be just or men, right?"

"We've dragged them here with more than a hundred of them, and they're just shooting back but not advancing. Don't you think something's wrong?"

"This"

As Fatty He listened to Chen Jun's question, his thick eyebrows almost twisted into knots.

If he didn't tell what was wrong, he would think everything was normal. But after analysis, he felt that nothing was normal.

"No matter what the other side plans to do, order the Army Aviation Battalion to call back some of its firepower and use air-to-ground three-dimensional propulsion during the maneuver."

"Other aviation firepower should conduct a detailed inspection of the entire combat zone. No negligence can occur before the main force arrives."

"Yes!!"

Fatty He nodded quickly.

According to Chen Jun's instructions, the orders were uniformly conveyed to the Army Aviation Battalion.

The so-called air-to-ground three-dimensional advancement means that the ground infantry ensures the maneuverability and safety of the cross-section within a few hundred meters during the advance of the mechanized corps.

Armed helicopters are needed to further extend their range in the air, expand the denial space, and counter mobile ambushes.

In other words, the marching mobile formation began to change into a combat mobile formation.

Chen Jun noticed that the number of people in the Bear Soldier Vanguard Battalion was not right, but he didn't know where this group of people had gone.

To be on the safe side, we can only provide protection for the main mobile force and, on the other hand, strengthen reconnaissance in the combat zone.

Accompanying the brigade commander's orders.

Among the 179th Brigade's mobile teams, the mixed mobile team of the vanguard battalion, that is, the ground guidance team, immediately divided into several teams and quickly dispersed on the flanks.

On one side of the team's advance route, within a few hundred meters, an anti-ambush tactical inventory and search was carried out.

At the same time, a squadron transferred back from the combat zone maneuvered in helicopters to monitor the ground from mid-air.

In the combat zone.

For the remaining squadron, the squadron leader opens up the attack authority.

Carefully search all locations of suspected tactical firing points in all combat zones, regardless of whether they are in areas with dense bushes or on undulating slopes.

As long as it meets the requirements of a threatening tactical ambush position, it doesn't matter if there are any traces of the enemy.

Start with heavy fire and fight for a while before seeing what happens.

The vanguard troops of both sides fought back and forth. The Russian vanguard battalion used mechanical off-road vehicles and machine gun positions to desperately resist the attack of the 179th Brigade's light infantry.

The battle line stretched for three kilometers, with three or four hundred men hiding behind them and attacking stealthily.

Although the field army had only more than a hundred people, they did not fear at all. They used all-terrain vehicles to maneuver to within 300 meters of the enemy and then confronted the enemy with the advantage of terrain.

Some people may wonder, how can one hundred people fight against three or four hundred people?
Simple.

The veterans of the 179th Brigade are all old hands.

Once they encounter a place where the Russians' firepower is too strong, they will pick up their individual communicators without hesitation and call the nearby aviation battalion.

"Please speak up, camp commander!"

"Camp Command received!!"

"In the strategic area 0.4 kilometers southeast of our side, there are 26-31 enemy combatants with two heavy machine guns, three anti-material grenade launchers, and four RPG launchers. Their positions are scattered 150 meters. We request firepower assistance to help our squad fight the enemy."

"receive!!"

When the Army Aviation Corps receives this kind of request for help, it will often temporarily give up the inspection of the combat zone and randomly arrange the nearest helicopter to continuously launch missiles at the target area.

Destroy the enemy's heavy firepower points.

Don't ask why we don't concentrate on killing them, because the missiles carried by the Army Aviation Battalion itself are not enough to carry out a comprehensive bombing of the three-kilometer defense line.

Those hundreds of Russians wouldn't be stupid enough to gather together and let themselves be bombed, so they could only adopt this kind of targeted elimination tactic to consume their resources.

In this way, the vanguards of both sides continued to confront each other.

The losses are not small, but we can still hold on.

Time passed little by little.

Just when the 179th Brigade was still half an hour's drive from the A17 area.

The originally calm Heavy Armored Brigade suddenly changed its previous cautious attitude.

Chen Jun ordered that the radar range of the entire brigade be extended from the original 50 kilometers to kilometers.

At the same time, a drone company was arranged to dispatch a large number of drones, which began to fly quickly according to the location of the enemy's main force shown on the radar.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Dense swarms of drones were launched from the main force of the 179th Brigade.

As the drones continued to transmit information about the nearby terrain, the main force of the 169th Brigade, including those dozens of kilometers away, were also photographed by the drones.

Pieces of information were input into the Wild Dog system, and the staff group led by Chen Jun did not need to do any calculations at all.

Based on the footage alone, the Wild Dog system can determine the enemy's approximate battlefield firepower, troop strength, and the best nearby position deployment and other key factors.

All passed the evaluation and appeared on the screen of the command terminal.

Fatty He looked at the detailed evaluation data, and then at the results of the analysis based on the map after he and others had worked hard to take photos of the tire tracks.

He was immediately stunned.

This was not the first time they had used the Wild Dog system, but this was the first time they had used it in unfamiliar terrain and after comparing it with the staff's deployment analysis.

Only then did I realize that I had worked so hard for more than half a month drawing the map and trying every possible way to take pictures of the tire tracks.

Analyze the other party’s configuration.

It seems to be of no use?

The evaluation of the combat system in a few seconds is enough to offset their half a month's hard work.

And to the shock of everyone.

Chen Jun seemed to have expected this. He looked at the data on the terminal, pursed his lips and remained silent.

Because he knew long ago that the enemy's only chance to defeat him was to do something bad along the way.

Once you lose this opportunity.

Once the heavy brigade reaches the combat zone and prepares to engage in battle, the 169th Brigade will have no chance of resisting.

Because of the powerful combination of synthetic heavy armor and information technology, it may not be obvious in domestic exercises.

But outside, it's enough to crush.
