From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 177 When Platoon Leader Shi found Lao A’s base camp!
Under Yuan Lang's command, Old A quickly assembled and lined up to set off.

Compared to the last time Yuan Lang led the team himself, the team this time has shrunk significantly, to only about one-third, or only about twenty people at most.

Chen Jun predicted that the Blue Army's ground forces were short of manpower, which was indeed a problem for the Blue Army.

The old A80 Squadron originally had only more than people.

If we want to have a full staff, we have to wait for the subsequent selection of old A and choose a group of new members to join.

In the fighting during the day and night of the first day, the four companies of the Second Battalion of the Red Army sacrificed nearly two hundred people and killed a dozen of the attacking Old A one after another.

The sniper team of the 7th Steel Company killed four people, and Chen Jun led the team to ambush and kill eleven people.

All together, Old A's men had lost nearly thirty men.

Now Chen Jun brought five squads to attack, forcing Qi Huan to take away Lao A from two squads to intercept.

In addition to the old A's "eyes" who stayed in the woods on the front line to harass and attack the Red Army positions, the reconnaissance team sent out to monitor and scout the Red Army troops, and the reconnaissance team searching for the Red Army headquarters, two old As had to be left behind to be on duty and guard the camp.

More than sixty of the more than eighty people have gone, and only two classes of Old A that Yuan Lang brought out are left.

If you want to use these two classes to perform more tricks, it will be a great test of Commander Yuan Lang's personal ability and whether he can hold the situation under such circumstances.

After all, the Blues have gone from having an all-round advantage to being evenly matched with the Reds.

If you don't play well.

It's easy for everything to collapse at once.

More than 20 old As may seem like a lot, but each of them is a leader when fighting alone.

But once surrounded by heavy troops...

No different from ordinary infantry!

More than an hour after Yuan Lang led the team to leave the camp, the sharp reconnaissance squad appeared in an inconspicuous bush grove 200 meters away from the camp.

After Shi Jin led the team out last night, he has been secretly infiltrating deep into the Blue Army.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Blue Army's ground forces, Shi Jin deliberately chose a more difficult path and avoided those routes that showed signs of movement but were easier to travel.

Shi Jin judged that the route with traces of movement on the ground was the path taken by the Blue Army's ground forces.

Following the Blue Army's attack route forward will indeed make it easier to find the Blue Army's ground forces' lair, but it will also make it easier to expose oneself.

It is a typical double-edged sword!
The purpose of the spearhead squad's infiltration into the Blue Army this time was not to find the Blue Army's ground forces, but to find the headquarters.

Shi Jin demonstrated the qualities of an excellent captain and was determined to achieve his goal for this trip.

Passed up this tempting cake.

However, fate is so magical. Shi Jin deliberately did not take the path that Old A had taken, wanting to avoid Old A and go to the rear to find the command center.

Moreover, they chose the most difficult route, which the Blues were least likely to take.

Even if it takes more time!
As a result, the group marched through the woods all night, did not rest in the morning and kept on moving forward, but still arrived here by accident.

The journey that the Old A guys could complete in two or three hours took the sharp reconnaissance squad an entire night and a morning to complete.

It’s not that the sharp reconnaissance squad has a weak foundation or that their physical fitness cannot be compared with Old A’s. It’s just that the route is more difficult to travel and their speed cannot be increased.

In addition, keep in mind the knowledge and experience taught by Chen Jun, and try to be as "invisible" as possible in the jungle.

That is, you must be careful when walking in the woods to minimize the traces you leave behind and try not to destroy the vegetation and weeds along the way.

This will reduce the probability of being discovered by the enemy as much as possible.

Holding a machete and chopping as you go, you can cut off all the thorns, weeds and branches that block the way, and your speed of travel can indeed be more than doubled.

But anyone who passes by is aware of such obvious traces.

What Chen Jun taught was indeed very useful. Shi Jin and his men found the vicinity of Old A’s lair and were not discovered by any of Old A’s, including Yuan Lang.

It means that Shi Jin did the right thing!
The sharp reconnaissance squad suddenly stopped here, mainly because they received the warning from Wu Liuyi.

In order to ensure the safety of the reconnaissance squad, even if they encounter danger, they will have time to react and avoid the danger of being wiped out in one fell swoop.

The formation tactics of the spearhead reconnaissance squad adopted the 2+n formation tactics taught by Chen Jun.

That is to say, two team members are sent out to leave the team, one hundred and fifty to two hundred meters ahead of the team, to be responsible for exploring the way ahead and communicate with the walkie-talkie at any time.

This way, even if there is danger ahead, there will be time to react later.

Even if we encounter the worst situation, we can only retreat immediately. At most, we will lose two people who are exploring the way, but the large force behind us can be preserved.

As long as there are still people who survive, there is still a chance to complete the target mission.

Using walkie-talkies to communicate within the squad is also the only way for the entire team to communicate before finding the Blue Army Command and launching the final operation.

Walkie-talkies have very limited use in field troops and are usually only used to report targets during target practice.

The large troop lines were spread out, with distances measured in kilometers.

The communication distance of the walkie-talkie is really not enough. However, it is meaningless in the legionary battle, but it is just right for use here.

Chen Jun knew that all the Red Army radio stations were monitored by the Blue Army. If the spearhead reconnaissance squad used the radio stations behind enemy lines, their position and intentions would be quickly exposed.

The Red Army radio station suddenly appeared in the Blue Army's hinterland, and even a fool could guess what was going on.

Therefore, before the spearhead reconnaissance squad set off, Shi Jin was specifically ordered not to turn on the radio until the last moment, that is, after the location of the Blue Army Command was confirmed.

All team communications use walkie-talkies to prevent the blue team from intercepting and monitoring the signals.

The communication power of walkie-talkies is relatively low, and the signal is much weaker than that of radio stations.

The Blue Army helicopter intercepted at an altitude of several thousand meters. The distance between the two sides was too far, and there was dense woods blocking the view. The communication interception equipment on the Blue Army helicopter could hardly detect the walkie-talkie communication signal.

Communicating using walkie-talkies is indeed safer, but it also has a big disadvantage.

That is, the sharp knife reconnaissance squad can only rely on themselves, has no way to get in touch with the 7th Steel Company, and cannot get any help from the company.

This means that whether the mission can be completed depends on the abilities of Platoon Leader Shi, Wu Liuyi and others.

Wu Liuyi and Chengcai discovered the old A camp and knew that the only troops that could appear here could be the Blue Army, but they were not sure what kind of troops they were.

Although they really hoped it was the Blue Army Headquarters, their common sense told them that it was not.

Because this place is only ten kilometers away from the front line, the Blue Army's tactics of not defending the frontline positions, plus the huge advantage of the Army Aviation Force.

It's impossible to take such a big risk and place the headquarters so close.

The main thing is that this adventure is meaningless!

In order to find out what the camp in front of them was, Wu Liuyi asked Chengcai to continue watching from the front, while he returned to discuss with Shi Jin.

It only takes a few tens of seconds to travel more than a hundred meters, and Wu Liuyi quickly reunited with the main force.

"What's going on ahead? I hope you haven't been discovered."

A group of people gathered together in a circle, and Shi Jin seriously questioned Wu Liuyi.

"No, we definitely weren't discovered. For fear of being noticed by them, we didn't get any closer when we were still fifty or sixty meters away." Wu Liuyi said affirmatively.

"Could it be the Blue Army's headquarters? Is it so easy to find?" Bai Tiejun said excitedly.

"Are you dreaming? How is that possible? Do you think all the Blues are as stupid as you? Are you getting so excited just waiting to be beaten by us?" Gan Xiaoning sneered.

"You are indeed dreaming."

Wu Liuyi also complained seriously: "The Blue Army is definitely similar to you in one respect. We are all born in the Year of the Rat and like to hide in places where even atomic bombs can't reach us. If we were all gone, I guess you would still be alive."

"I'm a medic. The deputy company commander said that I have to keep myself alive before I can save you."

Bai Tiejun defended himself with confidence, and his explanation did sound reasonable, at least it was logically sound.

After hearing this, Wu Liuyi, Gan Xiaoning and others could only roll their eyes and give him the middle finger.

Bai Tiejun was indeed quite different. He was small in stature but agile and had a very smart brain. He was originally expected to be the best assaulter.

However, his talent points are all auxiliary items, and his personality tends to be timid and cautious.

When Chen Jun was positioning the spearhead reconnaissance squad, he could only position Bai Tiejun as a medical soldier and logistical support based on his temperament and abilities.

"Okay, stop bickering and get down to business."

Seeing that the topic was about to go off track, Shi Jin pulled it back in time and asked, "Liuyi, how many people are there in the camp? Can you tell the size of the camp?"

"We don't know exactly how many people there are. We observed outside for a minute or two and didn't even see anyone. It looked like an empty camp. As for the scale..."

Wu Liuyi thought for a while and said, "There are five tents in the camp, all camouflaged and covered with jungle camouflage nets. There are also four cars parked, but there is nothing special.

I guess it should be the camp of a company of the Blue Army. Because they are out on a mission, the camp is empty. "

Wu Liuyi's analysis was basically correct, but he didn't expect that the Blue Army's ground forces only had one company.

"There's no one in the camp, so what are we waiting for? Let's go over and search. Their equipment is so useful, we must take the opportunity to get more." Xie Chong said excitedly.

"Yes, just like the night vision goggles we used last night, they are as good as daytime when worn at night, it's really amazing, let's get some and bring them back, so that every brother in the 7th Company can have one, then we can take off!"

Gan Xiaoning was even more beautiful than Xie Chong had imagined, and she had a sweet dream in broad daylight.

"What are you two thinking? The stuff is good, but do you want to live? Aren't you afraid that you may take it but not live to take it away?"

As a representative of the Gou faction, Bai Tiejun was the first to oppose.

Bai Tiejun is a small guy and he only has his own small goals. His current goal is to survive until the end of the exercise. It would be great if he could complete the mission.

Therefore, in order to live longer, he didn't want to have any contact with the Blues.

Contact means risk.

Bai Tiejun only wanted safety, which was contrary to his ideological purpose.
