From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 148 Please start your performance

Captain Wang dropped a heavy bomb, which blew away all the division cadres.

"The Red Army was too reckless. Even if they won a few games, they shouldn't have been so carried away by victory that they made such a bad choice."

"Yes, that's right. Although the Blue Army has less than half of its initial strength, they are in a more advantageous position and have already built preliminary defensive fortifications. They are well-rested and have a great advantage over the enemy."

"It's not worth it, really not worth it, to take risks when you're clearly in a winning situation."

……

All the cadres in the division were unanimously pessimistic. They were not pessimistic about the 7th Steel Company, thinking that it would definitely lose, but they were pessimistic about the decision made by the 7th Steel Company.

And the words are very radical!
The reason for such a big reaction was partly because the 7th Steel Company clearly had a simpler way to easily win the confrontation, but they chose the more difficult one.

And it’s the hardest path.

The main reason is the gap between the before and after, which is so big that it feels unreal.

You must know that before the confrontation exercise began, the Red Army was still at an absolute disadvantage and could only be chased all over the world by the Blue Army.

Now, in just one day, the situation has been completely reversed 180 degrees.

The Red Army, which was originally being chased everywhere by the Blue Army, not only chased the Blue Army everywhere, but this was not enough, and it would not stop until it completely wiped out the Blue Army.

Under the influence of preconceived ideas, everyone thinks that as long as they can win, they should win as soon as possible.

It's like grasping at straws.

No matter whether this straw can be saved or not, just grab it first.

They completely forgot that the initiative was now in the hands of the 7th Steel Company, and that the Blue Army no longer had the final say on how the game should be played, so there was no need for the 7th Steel Company to be so anxious.

This confrontation exercise was originally a "show match".

If we put ourselves in the shoes of the 7th Steel Company, the key is not how to win quickly, but how to make the performance more exciting while winning.

Looking at the whole scene, apart from the selfless commander, only Captain Wang thought of this.

Faced with the unanimous opposition from the audience, Captain Wang's protective heart was aroused, and he stood up to refute: "The core of war is indeed to win, and everything serves the word "win".

Whether it is training or exercises, it is all the same, it is all about winning at the lowest cost.

But you seem to have forgotten that this confrontation is just a show. Does winning or losing really matter? No, it's not that important.

Is the integration of the 7th Steel Company successful? What aspects are worthy of recognition? What aspects need to be improved? Does it meet the standards of information technology reform?

Wait, these are what’s important.

Therefore, I think that the 7th Steel Company gathered all its forces to attack the Blue Army directly, showing more tactics and playing styles, so that we can better understand the 7th Steel Company.

Not only is this not a foolish move, on the contrary, it is a wise choice.”

Captain Wang's analysis was very accurate, especially in clearly pointing out the core of the confrontation exercise, which made everyone react immediately.

"Captain Wang, you really understand your troops. We all care too much about winning or losing, and we think from the wrong angle, which makes us fall behind. Haha."

The chief of staff agreed with Captain Wang’s analysis, and his words changed the atmosphere on the scene.

It has changed everyone's previous pessimism about the Red Army to expecting the Red Army to show more playing styles, allowing everyone to open their eyes again.

So when the 7th Steel Company faces the Blue Army head-on, what style of play will they use to win?
Everyone is curious!

The 7th Steel Company was still on the road. With the 4th squad leading the way, they had no fear of losing the target, nor was they in a hurry to speed up.

And we have three days to complete the task. It is only the afternoon of the first day and we still have plenty of time.

More than an hour passed quickly.

In the evening when the setting sun was hanging high in the sky, Team 4 finally sent back accurate news.

"Report to the steel mill. We have found the Blue Army Battalion Headquarters. They have entered the pass. There are Blue Army soldiers there to support them. In order to avoid being discovered, we dare not get too close. We cannot be sure whether they are from the Blue Army Second Company. Over."

"Steel factory received. Stay where you are and wait for us to join you. Over."

After Gao Cheng gave the order to the fourth squad, he tilted his head slightly and asked Chen Jun who was sitting in the back, "Platoon Chen, the blue army has been found. Should we just launch a surprise attack, or...?"

"Captain, we finally caught up with you, so we must show you a greeting first, don't you think?"

Chen Jun chuckled and continued, "The time now is 5:25 pm, and there is still about half an hour before dark.

In order to minimize our company's losses and give full play to our firepower advantage, the general attack would definitely be best carried out at night.

However, in the half hour before nightfall, the setting sun after the rain will make people particularly lazy and less vigilant than usual.

We can take this opportunity to give them a great gift.

Let the reconnaissance squad go forward, find out the detailed troop deployment of the reconnaissance battalion headquarters, report the coordinates to the firepower platoon, and give them two rounds of salvos to whet their appetite.

Just aim at their tanks and try to destroy them all in one go, making them lose their mobility.

As long as the Blues can't drive away, they'll be stuck there and we can play slowly."

It was indeed a good idea for Chen Jun to attack the car first instead of the people to paralyze the Blue Army's mobility.

Gao Cheng approves very much!
Afterwards, the suggestions put forward by Chen Jun were conveyed to each class in the form of orders, and the suggestions were turned into battle plans so that they could be executed immediately after they were in place.

Ten minutes later.

The troops of the 7th Steel Company came to the rear of the 4th Squad and stopped 300 meters away from the Blue Army. Chen Jun went down and connected with the 4th Squad and began to deploy.

The fourth squad that was reconnaissance in the front retreated, and Shi Jin led the sharp reconnaissance squad to take over.

In terms of reconnaissance and intelligence gathering capabilities, the sharp reconnaissance squad is much stronger than the sniper squad. In order to avoid being exposed, professional matters should naturally be left to professionals.

The retreating fourth squad was not idle either. Chen Jun arranged them to go around the Blue Army's position and find all the sentries deployed by the Blue Army.

Just find out the location, no need to kill them.

Now is not the time!
The firepower platoon, led by the third platoon leader, left the team and searched nearby for a suitable artillery position.

The task of the first squad was to find a nearby location and set up the company command post as quickly as possible to facilitate communication for the subsequent attack and that at night.

Class 6 is responsible for helping Class 1 with its work!
The second squad is responsible for guarding near the company headquarters and reporting any suspicious situation immediately.

As the anti-tank squad that runs around the world as the main output, they are the most tired squad in the entire company. Chen Jun arranged for them to rest on the spot first.

After arranging the tasks for each class, Chen Jun then went to meet Shi Jin.

"Captain Shi, what's the situation now?"

Chen Jun came to Shi Jin and lay down, picked up the telescope and asked while observing. "Platoon leader, we are divided into four reconnaissance teams. Liuyi led the team to the back. Chengcai and Sanduo are there, Xiaoning and Tiejun are there, they haven't come back yet, the situation is not very clear yet." Shi Jin said while pointing.

The 7th Steel Company only has class communications and has not yet been equipped with individual soldier communications. The situation of the other three groups can only be known after they come back.

"Okay, just wait."

Chen Jun picked up the telescope himself, covered it with the anti-glare cover he made with mosquito net cloth, slightly raised his head and looked towards the Blue Army's position.

In order to facilitate or improve combat effectiveness, Chen Jun made many small inventions in the 7th Steel Company.

Anti-reflective hood is just one of them!

When Chen Jun first made this thing, the entire company, including Gao Cheng, had no idea what it was used for. When they learned that it was to be used to cover telescopes and sights, they all laughed and thought Chen Jun was joking.

If you cover the front of the scope with a piece of cloth, won't you be able to see anything?
result.

When Chen Jun made the anti-reflective cover and installed it on the scope, he let everyone experience it for themselves and told them its actual function.

Everyone in the company had the same reaction, which was that it was as magical as magic.

Especially the sniper squad, that's even more words.

Really delicious!!
……

After observing for a few minutes, Chen Jun found that the size of the blue army on the opposite side was smaller than he had imagined, and it seemed that there was only one platoon.

However, the location chosen is quite tricky, as it happens to be on the right side of the reverse slope of a road that must be passed through.

If we get two or three rocket launchers and block this position, we can deploy a platoon of soldiers on the hills on both sides.

If the Red Army accidentally ran into it, they would lose at least one or two squads.

If the firepower had been a little more fierce, reaching the level of the 7th Steel Company, even if the reaction was quick, half of the company would probably have been lost.

Being able to find such a good position for deployment shows that the Blues have some skills.

"They are hiding quite well. If Squad 4 hadn't come with the battalion headquarters and let us look for them on our own, we probably wouldn't have been able to find this blue army." Chen Jun joked as he observed.

"Platoon leader, it seems that they only have one platoon and a battalion headquarters. Where are the rest of the people?" Shi Jin asked puzzledly.

"There is only one company left in the Blue Army now. In order to prevent us from infiltrating, they are probably waiting for us in other places, waiting for us to fall into their trap." Chen Jun guessed.

"They're scattered? One platoon in each place, doesn't that give us an opportunity?" Shi Jin said happily.

“It’s an opportunity, and it’s not an opportunity.”

Chen Jun's words were very mysterious. An honest man like Shi Jin couldn't understand them at all. He could only scratch his head and said, "Platoon Leader, what do you mean?"

"A blue platoon is not challenging at all for us, so it is indeed an opportunity. But we didn't come here specifically to play against the little ones. What we want is to put on a big show for the higher-ups."

As Chen Jun spoke, he pointed his index finger toward the sky.

"If we can't fight the entire Blue Army, then it's meaningless. There's no chance. We might as well go to the northeast and complete the mission directly."

"Oh, I get it."

Shi Jin said thoughtfully: "What the platoon leader means is that we should fight the Blue Army in an upright manner to let the division know our ability to attack."

"Well, the general idea is about the same."

Although Shi Jin's summary was not very thorough, Chen Jun did not explain it in detail because Shi Jin did not need to know it so clearly.

As the backbone connecting soldiers and officers, the squad leader only needs to know what to do and be able to lead the soldiers to get things done.

As for why we do this, the value and significance of doing so.

That is not the scope of a squad leader’s duties!

As Chen Jun and Shi Jin observed and chatted, nearly ten minutes passed quickly and the three reconnaissance teams that were sent out returned one after another.

With the intelligence from Chengcai, Gan Xiaoning and Wu Liuyi, the situation of the Blue Army has been basically cleared up.

Chen Jun returned to the company headquarters with the intelligence and entered a simple company headquarters made by covering a ditch with camouflage cloth and then spreading some transplanted weeds on top.

Reported to Gao Cheng: "Captain, the situation of the Blue Army has been investigated.

There is only one platoon of blue troops at the intersection ahead, plus the battalion headquarters and a squad protecting the battalion headquarters. The total strength should be around forty people.

There are a total of three Type 86 infantry fighting vehicles, one Type 89 armored personnel carrier, and one Type 212 military vehicle.

Based on the configuration of the infantry fighting vehicle squad, the firepower of a single soldier is expected to include two to three 40mm rifles, one to two sniper groups, and a portable air defense gun.

The rest are regular scouts, and should be similar to our old configuration."

The Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle is equipped with a 40mm gun inside the vehicle and three rockets as backup.

This means that every conventional infantry fighting vehicle squad will have a rocket launcher as heavy firepower.

Stronger firepower than Type 63 troop carrier!

Before the synthesis transformation of the 40th Steel Company, each of the three infantry fighting vehicle squads had rocket launchers. After the synthesis transformation, they were concentrated together to become an anti-tank squad.

Since the infantry fighting vehicles are all given to the firepower platoon, there is no need to equip the vehicles with rocket launchers and ammunition.

Therefore, the infantry fighting vehicles of the 40th Steel Company did not have 100mm mortar shells, and all the removable parts inside the vehicle were removed to make room for mm mortar shells.

"There's only one platoon on the other side? It's too boring for us to fight it alone. Is there any need to fight? Can't we just take it down easily?"

Gao Cheng came prepared for a big battle, but found out that the enemy only had one platoon and there was no big battle to fight. His mood immediately turned bad.

"Captain, I also think it's meaningless. Taking them down won't have any effect at all, so..."

Chen Jun grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and said in a joking tone: "We can use this platoon as bait to surround the point without attacking the reinforcements, so that the other two platoons will have to come over to support us."

"It's a good idea, but... can the situation be controlled by then?" Gao Cheng frowned.

"Don't worry, Captain. Nothing will go wrong."

Chen Jun was full of confidence and clenched his fist and said: "The situation has changed now. The initiative is in our hands. We have the final say on how to play the game.

Whether the Blues are willing or not, they can only cooperate with us and become our supporting roles. They have no choice. "

"Haha."

Gao Cheng laughed happily and said, "Chen Pai, your words are enough. The time is almost up. The rest is up to you. Please start your performance."
