Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 166 The Final Battle! "Baby Version" of Zhurihe Base (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The collective astonishment of the battalion commander, political commissar, and Yuan Lang was noticed by Minister Yang of the Operations Department, who smiled slightly.

Minister Yang had anticipated this outcome!

However, when his gaze fell on Jackie Chan, Minister Yang's eyes widened in surprise.

Jackie Chan's expression was very calm and composed. He showed no pressure from having to fight against a division, nor did he show any surprise or unexpectedness. On the contrary, it surprised Minister Yang.

but.

Minister Yang thought about it again and felt relieved.

I feel that Jackie Chan has a very stable mindset, which is why he can remain calm and composed. He is more mature than the railway at such a young age, which makes me value Jackie Chan even more.

He then explained in detail why this exercise was being conducted.

This large-scale military exercise involving tens of thousands of people was not a graduation assessment specifically prepared for Team A of Spades, nor was it intended to test any new ideas from the command headquarters.

However, this stage of information technology reform just happens to require such a large-scale exercise.

The previous Blue Army military exercises that Old A participated in were only aimed at regimental-level units of various troops, making these grassroots units, which had just completed mechanization reforms, clearly realize that the information age had arrived.

The main purpose is to get rid of outdated thinking and make information technology reform proceed smoothly.

This step is now complete.

The next step is to upgrade.

It's no longer like children playing house, where the Blue Army beats the Red Army. This actually helps the Red Army, while the Blue Army is just a pure sparring partner.

There was no combat experience to draw upon.

The next reform process for the military region will involve further developing informationized forces and exploring how to maximize their combat effectiveness.

The main focus is on improving the Blue Team.

To enable the Blue Team to improve.

To put it simply, it's about creating the best blue force, and then using this top-tier blue force to hone and train a large number of excellent red forces.

It serves the purpose of one person growing first and then leading a group.

In order to achieve this goal.

The Capital Military Region specifically highlighted the earliest established unit, which is currently at the forefront of the Capital Military Region's informatization reform—

Combined Arms Battalion!

The concept of combined arms units in our army dates back to very early. As early as 1987, the PLA Daily published a news report about "a certain army forming a combined arms battalion for training".

This was a full 10 years earlier than the United States, which was the first to use combined arms battalions in combat.

Our military's concepts are never outdated!

However, due to various reasons, the combined arms battalion model has not been widely promoted, but many combined arms brigades and regiments have been adapted instead.

The Capital Military Region also has several specialized combined arms units.

One of them, a combined arms tactical brigade, which was reorganized from an enhanced tank division in Inner Mongolia, is currently at the forefront.

To adapt to the needs of future high-tech warfare, the Central Military Commission not only transformed this tank division into a combined arms brigade.

It was also decided to expand the original tank division's training ground into the largest, most technologically advanced, and most tactically sophisticated combined arms tactical training base in the entire army.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this base has only just been approved; it's a world-renowned facility in the 21st century.

It is the Zhurihe base that will one day be hated by the entire army, laughed and cursed by all the soldiers, and the one that will be captured alive.

of course.

That's for later.

Its name is still classified; to the outside world, it is simply known as the "North China Training Ground."

We've only just entered the full-scale construction phase, and it will take some time before we can go online as a whetstone and begin the grueling journey that will test all units of the army.

Meanwhile, Guangzhi, whom the entire army was clamoring to capture alive, is currently just a platoon leader in the 38th Group Army.

It will be about 10 years before he becomes the commander of China's number one Blue Army brigade.

Compared to this, at this time, Hiroshi had just graduated from military academy and was working as a platoon leader in a grassroots company. His life was just beginning, and he was a complete newcomer with no luster.

Having already entered the most mysterious A-team of the military region, and having led the team to complete the pilot reform training on his own, Jackie Chan has begun to shine brightly.

It is clearly more favored by the Capital Military Region.

The question of who will become the commander of China's first Blue Army brigade is likely to change.

Perhaps in the future, slogans will all become...

"Crush Zhurihe and capture that big guy alive!"

or……

"Crush Zhurihe and capture Brigade Commander Cheng alive!"

This possibility is actually very high. The military region already has this idea and has already crossed paths with Jackie Chan's life.

Because the military exercise that Jackie Chan participated in this time required a large enough venue for a division to participate, it was arranged at the Zhurihe Base, which is still under construction and has a terrifying area of ​​1066 square kilometers.

The main force of the Blue Army in the exercise was a tactical combined arms battalion from the combined arms brigade currently stationed in Zhurihe.

What is a combined arms battalion?

Simply put, it means that multiple branches of the armed forces, such as tank units, artillery units, armored infantry, reconnaissance soldiers, communications platoons, and engineers, are combined into one battalion for coordinated operations.

With so many different types of troops gathered together, how to command them is the most crucial thing.

In the traditional battalion-level units of our army, the battalion headquarters only has a few people such as the battalion commander, political instructor, and deputy battalion commander, and there are no operations staff officers, who are rarely responsible for overall operational command.

Command and control work is all at the regimental level.

The command structure of combined arms battalions is also shifting towards future joint operations.

The combined arms battalion has added a battalion headquarters, and is equipped with a chief of staff and four battalion staff officers, plus a deputy battalion commander and a sergeant major, making the command team more independent and efficient.

The combination of multiple branches of the armed forces and high information technology enables the combined arms battalion to have the characteristics of rapid response and strong firepower.

Although it is only a battalion-level unit, it has a certain independent combat capability and is more adapted to the fast-paced and high-intensity characteristics of information warfare.

From battlefield situation reconnaissance to making battle decisions, and then to various logistical support.

Even the call for army aviation helicopters and the Second Artillery Corps for strikes is entirely carried out independently by the combined arms battalion, transforming battalion-level operations from the previous "receiving orders" type to "independent operation type".

but.

This is the final state of the combined arms battalion, not the state it is now in the late 90s.

The combined arms battalion structure has emerged in this era, but how to plan it to maximize combat effectiveness is still a stage that each military region is actively exploring.

The purpose of this combined arms battalion's participation in the combat exercise was to identify practical tactics through the exercise and then apply them to other units for training practice.

The Ace of Spades team joined the exercise primarily to support the combined arms battalion in combat.

By having special forces join the battle and work together with the most advanced combined arms battalions, they gather information and data through exploration and testing.

Jackie Chan spent many times in Zhurihe in his past life and participated in several large-scale military exercises.

I have a strong feeling about this base!

The thought that I would be able to participate in large-scale military exercises at the Zhurihe base when I was still an infant and in my developmental stage was very moving.

Jackie Chan was quite excited!

After all, the Red Army that fought against the Zhurihe Combined Arms Battalion was also a force to be reckoned with.

It is also a main mechanized infantry division under a certain group army of the Capital Military Region, which has performed outstandingly in various military exercises and won many honors.

It is one of the main forces of the Capital Military Region, and its combat effectiveness is no weaker than that of the 84th Group Army Mechanized Infantry Division.

Compared to Jackie Chan, who was filled with anticipation and excitement upon hearing that he was going to the Zhurihe training base to experience the future Blue Army's first brigade, he was much more excited.

The brows of Captain Tie Lu and Yuan Lang, along with the other two, furrowed even deeper.

Although the combined arms battalion is the most cutting-edge new unit, the Ace of Spades team also has enough special operations technology. The two working together are enough to crush all conventional battalions.

Even when facing off against most squad-level units in a one-on-one fight, the chance of winning is over 9%.

But to fight against a mechanized infantry division of 10,000 men.

Even as the captain of the A Brigade, which is at the forefront of military reform and represents the most information-based unit, Railway was wide-eyed.

Back then...

The railway team personally led the Blue Army exercise, and a reinforced assault battalion was used to counter the 702nd Regiment.

Moreover, it is a new type of assault combat unit formed to explore modern warfare and innovatively integrate the air force and army into an air-ground system.

It's like leading five or six hundred people to fight against more than 1000 people.

The total troop strength is within 1 to 3!

But now that Jackie Chan has participated in this exercise, the difficulty has increased by nearly 10 times.

The combined arms battalion has a maximum of 700 members, and even if the equipment is combined with various elements, it is not as strong as a new type of assault battalion with armed helicopters.

A fully equipped mechanized infantry division can have 15000 personnel, more than 150 light and heavy tanks of various types, as well as a large number of armored vehicles and towed artillery.

The ratio of troop strength between the two sides reached 1 to 20.

An incredibly exaggerated proportion!

If the two sides were to engage in a head-on confrontation, the combined arms battalion would be crushed in no time; a single spit from one person could drown the entire battalion.

The reorganized combined arms battalion is still made up of people; they did not all become superhumans because of the reorganization.

Battalion Commander Tie Lu, Yuan Lang, and the political commissar racked their brains but couldn't figure out how the combined battalion of 700 men, plus a forward special operations team, could win this exercise.

Do you think you can win by using your head?

Faced with a collective questioning from Team A, Operations Department Chief Yang's response was very insightful.

"The military region leaders, like you, are very curious about the combat limits of the army after the reform of the combined arms battalion, and how much room for improvement it can have. That's why they organized this large-scale military exercise with such a disparity in troop strength."
