From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 166: The Red Army is evil? Yuan Lang leads the team to fight! (5500 chapters)

The Eighth and Ninth Companies occupied their positions slower than the Sixth Company because the attack horns were sounded at the same time, so they were actually not a few minutes slower.

The Sixth Company was ambushed by the Blue Army's blocking team, and the Eighth and Ninth Companies were not spared either.

Moreover, because there was no help from the 7th Steel Company, and it was the first time they encountered the Blue Army which did not play by the rules, the decisions made by the two company commanders were wrong.

During the long-range attack by the Blue Army, both companies suffered losses to varying degrees.

But there are good and bad things.

Among them, the Eighth Company did not receive any help from the Seventh Steel Company. The captain of the Eighth Company, who had a steady combat style, focused on self-protection when encountered an attack by the Blue Army.

Everyone found cover and hid to defend.

Not to mention showing his head out to shoot, he didn't even show a single dandruff.

Although this overly conservative strategy prevented him from killing a single Blue Army soldier, it also prevented him from having to collect the bodies. The Eighth Company did not fall victim to any of the Blue Army's unethical tactics.

On the contrary, the number of soldiers who were eventually eliminated was the least among the three companies.

This also proves that the strategy of steady and solid defense advocated by Chen Jun at the regiment meeting is indeed the best way to fight against the cunning Blue Army.

Perfectly present the words of our ancestors——

Maintaining the status quo!

The company that suffered the greatest losses was the Ninth Company. When attacked by the Blue Army, the company commander judged that the other side was a small harassment force lying in ambush in the woods. This judgment was indeed a real skill.

The captain of the 9th company, whose tactical style tends to be radical, decisively issued an order for the entire company to attack.

The intention was to completely wipe out the Blue Army's harassment troops and expand the results of this battle, not only to capture the Blue Army's position, but also to capture the Blue Army together.

Be the first to achieve a good result and show off in front of the whole group.

If the enemy encountered is of similar strength to ours, traditional conventional tactics will also be used. The commander of the ninth company orders the entire company to attack together and encircle and annihilate the small group of blue troops with more troops against fewer. This is indeed a very appropriate decision.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will indeed be rich rewards.

such a pity.

This time the enemy is not regular infantry, but the special operations team of Old A, who are specially trained to be the best soldiers per capita.

In comparison, the Blue Army is equivalent to a 1.8-meter-tall man, while the Red Army’s 9th Company is just a group of first-grade elementary school students. The advantage in numbers is not decisive at all.

Not only is there a huge gap in the quality of the individual soldiers between the two sides, but their tactical systems are also very different.

The Ninth Company still used the old tactics to fight, and the result was predictable.

The Blue Army used all kinds of disgusting means to fight with the 9th Company in the woods. They set traps while fighting, and all kinds of booby traps made the soldiers of the 9th Company jump in panic.

When Jiulianzhan realized that something was wrong, he immediately stopped the attack and pulled his men back.

After counting the remaining number of people, the captain of the ninth company almost fainted.

In just ten minutes of fighting, as many as 31 people from the th Company were eliminated, an entire platoon was lost, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

But the results were pathetic.

The elimination of thirty-one soldiers from the Ninth Company resulted in the elimination of only one Blue Army soldier, and they didn't even get the Blue Army soldier's body.

When the second battalion commander received the report from the ninth company, he was so angry that he started cursing on the spot.

I almost smashed the radio microphone.

The Second Battalion Commander had clearly conveyed the regimental commander's order that this attack only needed to occupy the high ground and hold it, and that the troops must not rashly continue to go deeper into the woods.

The captain of the ninth company ignored his words and in wartime he should at least be charged with disobeying military orders.

Being demoted from company commander to platoon leader was a light punishment.

Compared to the Ninth Company which lost an entire platoon, the Sixth Company's performance instantly looked much better, and it was not so difficult for the Second Battalion Commander to accept it.

Only the Eighth Company received praise from the Second Battalion Commander because only four soldiers from the Eighth Company were eliminated.

Compared to the other two, it is simply excellent.

The Blue Army attacked the three companies of the Red Army at the same time, and all three companies were hit at the same time without any communication between them.

It also reflects the huge drawbacks of traditional tactics and troop organization in this information warfare era.

The command system is too bloated, information cannot be shared instantly, and it is easy to be defeated by the enemy one by one.

As long as the three companies can communicate in a timely manner, share the blue army's tactics they encounter, and share intelligence in a timely manner.

The "Turtle" Eighth Company can rely on intelligence to try to counterattack, and may gain some results.

The losses of the 6th and 9th companies will inevitably be greatly reduced.

This is also the purpose of this exercise, to let the Blue Army find out the loopholes of the Red Army and attack, so that the Red Army can know its own shortcomings.

Only in this way can we implement the subsequent military reforms with a more proactive attitude.

The three companies of the second battalion commander all suffered heavy losses. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to report the battle report to the regiment as soon as possible.

Captain Wang naturally couldn't help but scold him, and then he issued a death order.

The company responsible for the attack was not allowed to leave the garrison position without orders from the battalion. Anyone who dared to disobey would be stripped of his military uniform and sent back to feed the pigs.

Captain Wang is an extremely competitive person and he doesn't want to lose this confrontation.

Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be whipped.

The second battalion commander then passed the regiment commander's order intact to the four companies responsible for the attack, and decided to go to the front-line positions in person to supervise.

After choosing among three positions, we decided to go to Hill 034 located in the middle of the front line.

That is the high ground that the Sixth Company is responsible for!

As the three assault companies dug fortifications on the high ground and took a steady defensive approach, the Blue Army did not come out to continue the attack.

It became very quiet until noon, and there was no sound of gunfire on the battlefield.

The support units of each battalion began to take action, gradually delivering the necessary ammunition and supplies to the high ground, and the kitchen team also delivered hot meals.

Although it was just a simple steamed bun with two dishes, the taste was not delicious.

But being able to eat hot meals on the battlefield is already very satisfying.

"The Blues just harassed us for a bit, and there's no further action? If that's all they have, I look down on them."

Gao Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground in the command tent, eating white steamed buns and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, was not very satisfied with the Blue Army's offensive tactics.

In his imagination...

On the first day of the confrontation exercise, the fighting should have been more intense, at least to find out the opponent's bottom line, instead of breaking up after a confrontation like now.

The original plot was indeed very intense on the first day, unlike today where it was just a superficial fight.

Chen Jun was also wondering!

"Could it be that the butterfly's wings have already flapped? The Blues have discovered my backup plan, so they changed their offensive strategy?"

Chen Jun thought to himself, but he answered in another way: "Captain, it's still early, there's still afternoon and evening.

In my personal opinion, the possibility of the Blue Army taking action this afternoon is 60%, and tonight, the possibility of the Blue Army taking action is 100%. "

"What's the basis?" Gao Cheng asked curiously when he saw Chen Jun was so sure.

"Yes, analyze it for us." Hong Xingguo said while chewing a steamed bun.

"Okay, I'll just say a few words then."

Chen Jun put the steamed bun back into the bowl and analyzed the current situation: "There are tanks stationed in our position. The Blue Army will definitely not dare to counterattack. We will attack the tank troops head-on. The Blue Army is not that stupid.

The three Blue Army heights that have been occupied by us are the main attack direction of the Blue Army ground forces.

However, the Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Companies had all been hurt and frightened by the Blue Army in the morning. Now they have learned their lesson and are strictly implementing the defensive strategy.

The Blue Army did not even defend their positions and just wanted to fight guerrilla warfare, so it was impossible for them to take the initiative to attack the high ground.

Therefore, the possibility of them attacking in the afternoon is actually not very high. I estimate it to be 60%. Even if they send people to attack, they will still mainly use harassment and sneak attacks, and their main purpose is to consume the manpower.

Why is the probability 100% at night? There is actually only one reason, that is, the Blue Army has an equipment advantage and is likely to be equipped with night vision goggles.

The Blues can see as clearly as in the daytime at night, which is a huge advantage, so they will definitely take advantage of it.

As for how they will attack, I have no way to judge accurately for the time being, but I can be sure that it will not be a conventional tactic.

They might try to lure the enemy in, Captain, you can go and give them a friendly reminder."

Chen Jun could guess what tactics the Blues would use, but he had no way of saying it for sure, so he could only describe it in this probabilistic way.

Sometimes, it is not a good thing when people calculate things too accurately.

"Okay, I'll go talk to them after dinner. Anyway, our 7th Steel Company is very idle now, so it's good to find something to do." Gao Cheng said with a smile. "The wicked troops only use wicked tactics. It's impossible for them to attack the high ground honestly." Hong Xingguo said jokingly.

"Oh, right."

Chen Jun remembered an important matter, which was also the most important task of the 7th Steel Company, and asked formally: "The reconnaissance team will set out tonight. The sooner we find the Blue Army's headquarters, the better it will be for us.

This mission is very difficult and very important. It is related to the success of the exercise. I want to lead the team out myself. What do you think, Captain?"

The Blue Army’s frontline positions must be staffed with spies, and breaking through the Blue Army’s frontline positions during the day would easily expose the target.

If the sharp reconnaissance squad wants to infiltrate, they can only do so at night.

"Shi Jin has good personal abilities, so it's okay to let him lead the team. It's too risky for you to lead the team yourself." Gao Cheng said with a frown.

"Yes, there is no turning back when fighting behind enemy lines, and there is no support. The risk is too great. You are the core of our Seventh Company. If something happens to you, we cannot afford the loss."

Hong Xingguo also raised objections because he knew very well that there was someone who could counter the Blues' unethical tactics.

Looking at the entire 702nd Regiment, there is only Chen Jun.

"Old Chen, I know you are capable and it will be safer for you to lead the team, but the reconnaissance squad is not only the spearhead of the Seventh Company, but also the spearhead of the 702nd Regiment. They need enough training to grow up."

Gao Cheng said in a negotiating tone: "Old Chen, why don't you give them a chance?"

"Old Gao is right. A knife needs to be sharpened before it can become sharp. You can protect them for a while, but you can't protect them forever. What's more, every person in the reconnaissance squad was trained by you. I think... Old Chen, you can trust them." Hong Xingguo advised again.

Since the company commander and the instructor had said this, Chen Jun had to reconsider.

It is indeed very important to find out the relationship between the Blue Army command and the outcome of the confrontation. Chen Jun leads the team personally to maximize the success rate.

If the spearhead reconnaissance squad is left to act on its own, there will inevitably be a lot of instability.

But as the company commander and instructor said, the sharp reconnaissance squad needs to be honed in order to mature, and Chen Jun cannot protect them forever.

This important and difficult task is also an opportunity for the spearhead reconnaissance squad to prove themselves.

If Shi Jin can lead the team to complete the mission, it will not only prove the strength of the reconnaissance squad, but also prove the quality of Shi Jin as the acting platoon leader.

For Shi Jin, a veteran, this will definitely be a rare opportunity.

Not only will you have the opportunity to advance early!

There is even a chance for promotion!

Military service and age are only standards for promotion, and are not absolutely insurmountable.

Especially since it is only 1997 now, the relevant standards are more relaxed. As long as one's ability is strong enough, it is not impossible to be promoted to officer in his thirties. In fact, there are many examples of senior non-commissioned officers being promoted.

Thinking about the possibility that Shi Jin still has for promotion, even though this possibility is very slim.

Chen Jun still wants to give it a try!
"Captain, instructor, you are right. If it is not sharpened, it cannot be called a sharp knife. The reconnaissance squad does need a chance to prove itself. So I will be lazy this time. There are not many opportunities like this, haha."

Chen Jun answered in a humorous way, thus settling the most important matter.

A few kilometers away in the Blue Army's war zone, in a makeshift camouflage command tent, Yuan Lang was sitting there with a frown on his face.

Standing in front of him at the entrance of the tent was his confidant Qi Huan.

"Qi Huan, is this what you did? I asked you to launch an attack on those idiots in the Red Army, and you lost four of them?"

Yuan Lang looked at the military map on the table without even raising his head to take a look.

"Captain, this is really not my fault."

Qi Huan explained innocently: "The fighting style I used is the same as the previous heavy armored regiments.

But somehow, this 702nd Regiment seems a little strange, and is completely different from the four heavy armored regiments we killed earlier."

"Completely different?"

Yuan Lang thought back to the reconnaissance team he had sent out. The information they brought back was also strange. He looked up and asked, "Tell me what's wrong."

"They occupied three high grounds on the front line. Hill 032 was no different. They charged in without thinking, just like the other four heavy armored regiments. We killed more than 30 of them, while we only lost one."

Qi Huan's expression was relatively calm when he said this, but then he frowned and said, "But Hill 033 is weird, they are actually cowards.

No matter how we provoked or induced them, no one in the entire company fired a shot and they just hid in the mountains without showing their heads.

The second team can’t rush over, and the offensive battle is not our advantage. We really can’t defeat them, so we can only retreat first…”

"What do you mean? Three people were left at Hill 034?" Yuan Lang interrupted.

"Yes, they were all lost there. The Red Army company attacking this high ground has ridiculously accurate shooting skills, which is simply not something that grassroots companies can achieve. Moreover, they are very experienced and have observers to cooperate with them. They will change positions after firing a shot. We have no way to target them."

Qi Huan felt very embarrassed when he said this, as a dignified old A couldn't do anything to the grassroots infantry, so he quickly saved his smile and said, "But they are not having an easy time either.

I used a little trick to kill their entire class, and captured a total of 19 Red Army soldiers."

"You can still laugh? 3 to 19, do you think this ratio is a good one?" Yuan Lang scolded him, leaving Qi Huang scratching his head in embarrassment.

Nothing to say!
This battle was indeed not fought well. Six Red Army soldiers replaced one old A, which also broke the record. This had never happened before in the confrontation between the previous four regiments.

"But you are right about one thing."

Yuan Lang, who had been cursing with a cold face just a second ago, suddenly grinned and said, "This 702nd Regiment is indeed quite interesting.

Compared with the four heavy-armored regiments mentioned above, a group of pumpkins were boring to play with, but this 702 regiment aroused my interest in playing.

and……"

Yuan Lang frowned as he spoke, and then smiled even more brightly as he said, "There seems to be a smart guy in the 702nd Regiment.

It seems that he had already guessed our offensive plan, which is why our offense today was so unsmooth. "

Yuan Lang is indeed a man of great wisdom.

Just based on the brief exchange of fire, one can infer that there is a master behind the scenes directing the situation.

"The Red Army has smart people? How smart can they be? I think it must be luck, shit luck, I just happened to meet them. I will take people there again in the afternoon and make sure to beat them back to their original form and let them know what tactics are."

Qi Huan looked ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work, determined to get back the face he lost in the morning.

For Old A, who thinks highly of himself, there is no such thing as zero casualties in consuming the Red Army.

That's a loss of face!

As a result, Yuan Lang's subsequent words poured a bucket of cold water on Qi Huan's head.

"The afternoon attack is cancelled. We will proceed in the evening."

"Cancel? Why? Give me another chance, and I promise to make them panic. If one of our men dies again, you can punish me as you like." Qi Huan said unconvinced.

"See for yourself."

Yuan Lang picked up the documents on the table and threw them to the other side of the table.

When Qi Huan picked up the document and looked at it, Yuan Lang continued, "This is the intelligence brought back by the reconnaissance team, with detailed markings and drawings on it.

The Red Army's regimental headquarters has been found, but there is obviously something wrong. They are acting too hard, and there must be something wrong when things are abnormal.

The three tank companies dispatched seemed to be fine, but in fact, something was wrong.

They seemed to know in advance that we would send armed helicopters to carry out low-altitude air attacks, and behind each tank company there was an air defense force.

Although the air defense forces were camouflaged, the camouflage techniques were too crude.

If we really send armed helicopters over, we will be in trouble. Even if we lose only one helicopter, it will mean the failure of our operation.

There are many other details that show that the 702nd Regiment targeted us in various ways and seemed to be very familiar with our style of play.

It takes a smart person to see through our style of play and tactics."

Captain Wang thought he had disguised himself very well based on the various deployments made by Chen Jun, but he did not expect that he would be exposed in front of Old A.

This is the difference in hard power!

"This……"

Qi Huan really didn't expect that such a grassroots regiment would be completely different from other heavy armored regiments. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a while, he stammered, "Well, Captain, what should we do now?"

"nighttime then."

Yuan Lang raised his lips, his eyes filled with strong interest, and said with a playful smile: "I'll take you there tonight and have some fun with them."

"Hehe, okay."

Captain Yuan led the team personally. Qi Huan knew that there would be a good show to watch tonight, and his mouth was immediately broken into laughter.
