From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 150 The fatal deficiency of the combined forces!
The Blue Army reconnaissance team was captured so suddenly that they had no time to report to the battalion headquarters via walkie-talkie.

The Blue Army battalion commander didn't know that the reconnaissance team was gone, and was still waiting for the results at the battalion headquarters. He did not send out a new reconnaissance team afterwards.

During the Red Army's artillery attack in the evening, the referee ruled that another 20 percent of the personnel were killed.

Nine people were killed in the four Banga battalion headquarters.

Almost one class is gone.

Of the remaining 30 combat forces in one platoon, eight more soldiers were sent out to perform reconnaissance missions. Apart from the sentry positions, there were only a few people left.

There was already a serious shortage of combat personnel, and the battalion commander could no longer send anyone out for reconnaissance.

Otherwise, they would not be able to withstand even one round of attack from the Red Army.

It was because there were not enough people guarding the outpost that Shi Jin and his group of seven were able to sneak over very easily without being discovered by anyone from the Blue Army.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The Blue Army battalion commander did not wait for the reconnaissance team to return, and there was no news. It was as if he disappeared out of thin air, without any sign or trace.

The battalion commander's expectation was replaced by disappointment, and one could guess the reason with one's toes.

There is a high probability that he was caught by the Red Army!

We sent out nearly a squad of troops for reconnaissance, but we didn't find anything and not even a single person was found. It was a complete loss of both the army and the wife.

The battalion commander's face, which was already dark, became even darker.

Fortunately, good news came soon. The second company commander brought the other two platoons and finally arrived after rushing all the way, making the second company finally complete.

In addition, there was a guard squad from the company, and they arrived just a few minutes late.

Suddenly, the combat power of seven classes has increased!

Even though the third row has lost most of its soldiers at this point, the injection of fresh blood can help them recover.

There was a remaining squad from the third platoon of the second company, plus the first and second platoons of the second company, as well as the two remaining squads from the first company and the personnel from the battalion headquarters.

The Blue Army's strength has reached a full company level and is capable of fighting the Red Army head-on.

The battalion commander's originally bad mood finally eased.

However, all the scouts sent out were killed, and the Blue Army had no idea what the current situation of the Red Army's 7th Steel Company was.

Having no intelligence about the enemy means having no offensive capability.

There is very little the Blues can do and they are still very passive.

We can only hold our position at the current intersection, try our best to do all the defensive work, and then think of other ways to "turn defeat into victory."

Although this comeback sounds very ironic for the Blues.

A whole battalion was forced into this state by a company.

In the history of the entire division's direct reconnaissance battalion, it is truly unprecedented and unparalleled.

However, in order to save the reconnaissance battalion's last bit of face and to keep the battalion commander's official position, he can only and must make one last effort.

"No matter what, no matter what the cost, we must find a way, do everything we can to find out the situation of the Red Army. Otherwise, we can only passively take the beating and there is no hope of turning the tables."

The battalion commander pointed this out seriously at the combat meeting and put forward his idea: "Midnight is the most relaxed time, we will send two more reconnaissance teams at that time.

In order to prevent the Red Army from launching a sneak attack late at night, each squad and platoon must strengthen their vigilance and never give the Red Army any opportunity to take advantage.

Second Captain, I need you to select the most professional people in your company to formulate an action plan to ensure that this reconnaissance operation will not fail."

The battalion commander has already said this, so there is no need for the second company commander to make any further suggestions.

He agreed straightforwardly: "Okay, I'll go down and make preparations."

The battalion commander planned to launch a defensive attack first, hold this position and the 7th Steel Company to bide their time, and then send out scouts late at night to find out the situation of the 7th Steel Company.

There is indeed nothing wrong with this combat plan. At least in traditional conventional tactics, it is a very good response deployment.

pity.

The Chen army never plays by the rules, and the Seventh Company of Synthetic Steel, which it transformed, never fights in a conventional way.

The Blue Army's battalion commander wanted to delay the Red Army here, but Chen Jun was not prepared to engage in a protracted war with them.

Tonight is the final battle!!

The sharp reconnaissance squad lurking behind enemy lines witnessed the arrival of the Blue Army's support forces and collected all the relevant information.

Including the two platoons of the second company, their vehicles' camouflaged concealed locations, personnel deployment arrangements, etc.

All of them were seen clearly.

With the detailed information of the Blue Army, the 7th Steel Company was able to dispel the fog of war and see through the Blue Army from a God's perspective.

And this is the powerful role that top-level reconnaissance units play on the battlefield.

The 7th Steel Company has collected all the information and is waiting for a head-on battle between companies. It is time to demonstrate the hard power of the 7th Steel Company.

The time came to 8:15 in the evening.

This is a time worth recording.

The Red Army company composed of Chen Jun and Gao Cheng, stationed in a temporary command post built with camouflage cloth, officially launched a frontal battle against the Blue Army.

The first to be dispatched was the tactical sniper squad, who maximized their advantages.

The four sniper groups of the sniper squad joined forces and launched a "Viper" attack from three directions at the same time, knocking down all the Blue Army's sentries from the dark.

"Clap clap clap..."

The sound of the Type 85 precision-shooting rifle continued, and the sound of gunfire could be heard far away in the open plateau.

In less than two minutes, all the front-line sentries deployed by the Blue Army were cleared out, and puffs of white smoke floated up from the positions.

The Red Army sniper's marksmanship was so accurate that it was outrageous that they were so accurate even at night.

The remaining blue army members on the battlefield were stunned. They couldn't believe that the people on the opposite side were actually from grassroots units and their individual soldier qualities were even stronger than theirs.

Frightened by the Red Army sniper's accurate marksmanship, the Blue Army was so scared that they hid in their positions and dared not show their heads again.

Especially those who like to smoke, when they see someone hiding from smoking a cigarette, they will be beaten until smoke comes out of their body, and their smoking addiction will be scared away.

Smoking cessation through intimidation...

Worth promoting!

The Blue Army battalion commander heard one report after another. One moment, a sentry from the third squad was shot dead by a sniper, and the next moment, a sentry from the sixth squad was gone.

The dark face that had just gotten a little better is now even worse than before.

The second company commander saw that the battalion commander's face had turned blue and he didn't dare to say anything to anger him. He could only sit aside and not dare to say a word.

When the division leaders in the combat command center saw the 7th Steel Company's attack method, they began another round of discussion.

"The Red Army cleared out the outer sentries first, and then caught the reconnaissance team sent by the Blue Army in one fell swoop, which was equivalent to completely blinding the Blue Army's eyes. The Blue Army is in trouble now."

"Why didn't the Blue Army fight back? Are they just going to let the Red Army kill them?"

"How can we fight back? That's easy to say. We can't even find a scout and we don't know where the enemy is. Are we going to die if we force a counterattack?"

"The Red Army's suppression power is indeed strong. The Blue Army has no defensive power at all and is being suppressed unilaterally."

……

The division leaders discussed the issue enthusiastically, but it was not the focus of the command center.

At this moment, the focus has shifted to the division commander. After just a quick glance at the synthesis theory, the synthesis ideas and tactics written by Chen Jun really surprised the division commander.

We immediately called Captain Wang and discussed the theoretical content with him.

Although there are a lot of colonels in the confrontation command center, there is no one who truly understands integrated warfare and adaptation. Now only Captain Wang can discuss this.

Even though both of them only knew a little bit, they still had a common topic.

The division commander discussed with Captain Wang the things he did not understand and did not quite comprehend, and got answers from him.

After all, Captain Wang has more contact with Chen Jun and has spent more time studying theory, so he understands it better than the division commander.

The division commander had a better understanding of the theory of synthesis, a greater appreciation for Chen Jun, the author of the theory, and greater expectations for the 7th Steel Company.

It just happened at this time.

The 7th Steel Company officially launched the attack, and the first wave destroyed the enemy's sentries.

The division commander and regiment commander Wang, who had read the synthesis theory from beginning to end and had a preliminary understanding of the combined tactics, both understood Chen Jun's intention.

It's like some of the staff officers happened to hit the right target by blindly guessing.

Chen Jun's first wave of attack was to attack the sentinels first, mainly to blind the Blue Army and secondly to undermine the Blue Army's morale psychologically.

The morale of the army is very important in war. Only by destroying the enemy's morale can we attack better.

Seeing the 7th Steel Company attacking with such rhythm, and that a reconnaissance unit fought with better tactics than the assault company, the division commander immediately became more expectant and curious.

Can the reconnaissance company supported by contract tactics really be improved that much?

Not only can it become a perfect reconnaissance unit, but it can also bring out the essence and characteristics of the guerrilla warfare and roundabout tactics required by scouts.

It can also enable the troops mainly responsible for reconnaissance to have the strong frontal attack capability of an assault company.

Can be soft or hard, grasp with both hands.

Is it really so magical!

……

The interest of the division commander was piqued, and the other division leaders, including the chief of staff, completely focused on the 7th Steel Company.

This is the effect Chen Jun wants to achieve.

Only under the spotlight of public attention can the powerful offensive capability demonstrated by the 7th Steel Company conquer all the audience.

Chen Jun was the commander appointed by the company commander. Once the battle started, the attack was like waves, one after another until victory.

The tactical sniper team played its role, forcing the enemy into the bunker and making them afraid to come out, making the Blue Army completely blind.

Next up is the firepower platoon!

As long as the mortar position is not exposed, you can bomb it boldly and maximize its destructive power.

There is a sharp reconnaissance squad lurking behind enemy lines, accurately pointing out the enemy's armored units.

The firepower platoon's mortars were like opening a lock, with each shot accurately hitting the target, causing white smoke to rise from the Blue Army's tanks one after another.

No matter how well protected the Blue Army's tanks were, no matter how tightly covered they were with camouflage cloth and branches.

It's all useless!

After all, from the time we came from the Blue Army until now, we have been operating under the nose of the Sharp Knife Reconnaissance Squad, so the camouflage work is in vain.

They watched as the Blue Army's tanks were destroyed one after another, but they were unable to do anything.

The Blue Army battalion commander is here to cheer.

I was so angry that my blood rushed to my head and I almost passed out from the high intracranial pressure.

The second company commander was trying to find a way to save the tanks. He personally went to the position to command the blue army soldiers and quickly transferred the remaining tanks.

However, this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

The Blue Army lost its ability to conduct external reconnaissance and counterattack, which is equivalent to losing air superiority in a war, and not a single plane can take off.

With the sharp reconnaissance squad watching outside, it would be useless no matter where the tanks moved.

As long as the spearhead reconnaissance squad reports their position again, white smoke will soon rise from the tanks that have just been moved.

The second company commander of the Blue Army finally reacted and realized that his side was under complete surveillance and all activities were under the nose of the Blue Army.

I want to counterattack and change the current situation.

But after thinking hard for a long time, I finally ended up with a sigh.

Because there is no way to counter it.

The shelling lasted for half an hour, and the end result was that all the Blue Army's tanks were scrapped, and the Blue Army was transformed from armored reconnaissance troops into mountain reconnaissance troops.

"The powerful artillery strike capability is only available in an artillery company, but it appeared in a reconnaissance company. The Blue Army reconnaissance battalion can only take the beating. It's not unfair."

The division commander saw that all the Blue Army's armored units were destroyed, but he had no way to take any countermeasures.

If it were a few hours ago, he would have been very surprised, even shocked, thinking that this was completely impossible and completely becoming one of the shocked party.

But now that we have a preliminary understanding of combined warfare, the division commander's ability to understand has improved significantly.

"Synthetic warfare focuses on coordinated operations of multiple arms, which is equivalent to integrating multiple arms together. It is not surprising that there is an artillery company in it, haha." Captain Wang laughed.

"There is an artillery company in the company..."

The division commander still felt very strange when he heard this, and said with a sigh: "The strange organization of this synthetic force is very different at first glance and does not meet the needs of war.

But when the contract tactics are applied, the result is completely different. It is simply a stroke of genius.

but……"

The commander suddenly changed the subject halfway through his words.

"The synthetic 7th Steel Company has greatly improved its firepower. It is like a compressed reinforced battalion that integrates the air defense company, artillery company, anti-tank company, reconnaissance company and support company. It achieves greater tactical value with fewer troops.

However, the strength of a company is limited after all, and tactical units occupy a large number of troops, leaving the 7th Steel Company with almost no infantry units.

Offensive operations require seizing positions, which cannot be achieved without infantry charges.

I am very curious now. Since the 7th Steel Company wants to completely wipe out the Blue Army Reconnaissance Battalion, they must attack the position. How will they solve this problem? "

Not to mention the combined companies, even the most popular combined brigades in the 21st century have this problem.

Not only is there no infantry charging into battle, but the most important thing is that once there are casualties, it is very difficult to replenish them.

Because the division of labor in the combined forces is so detailed, each combined unit is relatively independent.

Take a combined forces brigade as an example.

The artillery battalion suffered heavy losses in artillery and needed to be replenished. There was no other artillery battalion in the same brigade, and it was impossible to transfer personnel from the armored battalion or the aviation battalion.

The majors are completely inconsistent and there is no way they can be used even if transferred.

It is not possible to transfer companies between subordinate units like ordinary battalion-level units, because they have the same specialties and it does not affect combat effectiveness.

The composition of synthetic units is more independent, and their compatibility is inevitably relatively poor.

Even with the mature combined forces brigades of the 21st century, the situation could not be fundamentally improved, and the main way to make up for it was to have a supplementary unit behind it.

A combined brigade will have a supplementary battalion, and a combined battalion will have a supplementary company.

It is equivalent to hanging a blood pack at the back, so that blood can be replenished from the back anytime and anywhere when needed, in order to make up for the problem of insufficient sustainability of the combined forces.
