Chapter 132: Caught a big fish right after arriving!
Chapter 132: Caught a big fish right after arriving! (Two in one)
After listening to everyone's discussion for a while, the third company commander had a basic idea in his mind.
Having a strong personality does not mean acting recklessly and impulsively. The third company commander's military style is just the opposite. He is more inclined to seek stability.
Among the details discussed by the company cadres, there were two points that he strongly agreed with.
First of all, based on the familiarity between himself and Gao Cheng, the third company commander knew very well that Gao Cheng had a very straightforward personality and would not do anything circuitous.
As a result, his fighting style is also aggressive and he prefers to defeat the enemy head-on.
The 7th Steel Company is a reconnaissance company, whose main task is reconnaissance, infiltration and penetration behind enemy lines. It requires playing like a loach, which is totally incompatible with Gao Cheng's personality.
Therefore, in Gao Cheng's command, the 7th Steel Company has always been trained as an assault company.
This also means that the 7th Steel Company is definitely much stronger in frontal combat than an ordinary reconnaissance company, and the 3rd Red Company may not be able to gain any advantage even if it advances with its entire army.
The third company's proactive cross-line attack route will most likely not be as easy to defeat as the platoon leader thinks.
Secondly, the 7th Steel Company is the only reconnaissance company in the regiment. Even though Gao Cheng forced it to be trained as an assault company, it still has a certain level of reconnaissance capabilities.
After all, among the indicators used by the regiment to assess the reconnaissance company, there are many subjects that the reconnaissance company must master.
A reconnaissance company that focuses on siege tactics.
This sounds very strange, but it was the current situation of the 7th Steel Company before Chen Jun came.
If the Red Third Company really crossed the line to attack, the Steel Seventh Company, which has the relevant skills of a reconnaissance company, would probably be able to infiltrate the rear of the Red Third Company.
If the company headquarters is not protected by other troops, it might be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Due to such concerns and considerations, the third company commander Huang Yang finally decided that the combat plan for this confrontation should be a steady counterattack.
First send out a few squads to find the key roads, and then deploy armored forces to guard them.
Then let the company headquarters stay in the rear.
Dispatch the remaining troops and be ready to fight anytime and anywhere.
Finally, as soon as they discovered the 7th Steel Company's troops, they would use the advantages of terrain and equipment to immediately encircle and suppress them, and wipe out all the invading troops of the 7th Steel Company.
Through this defensive counterattack, the strength of the 7th Steel Company was continuously weakened.
Boil the frog in warm water and slowly wear down the Seventh Steel Company.
The Red Third Company was equipped with six Type 86 infantry fighting vehicles, exactly twice as many as the Steel Seventh Company. Each squad had rocket launchers, which was also several times as many as the Steel Seventh Company.
When the strength of the two sides was similar, the Red Third Company, which had an absolute advantage in equipment, was not afraid of the Steel Seventh Company at all in a head-on situation.
As long as it is a head-on battle, the third company commander is confident enough.
No matter how well the 7th Steel Company performs in the competition, when the two sides clash head-on on the battlefield, the third company commander believes that the Red 3rd Company he leads will be able to defeat the 7th Steel Company.
……
All the backbone members of the Red Third Company discussed for most of the day and developed a set of defensive counterattack tactics.
They wanted to block all the main roads in the B186 area and turn the B186 area into a big cloth bag, waiting for the th Steel Company to fall into the trap.
On the other side, the opponent, the 7th Steel Company, had a completely opposite reaction to the 3rd Red Company.
Not only was there no tactical discussion, but the action had already been launched.
The confrontation military exercise was held for the 7th Steel Company. The 7th Steel Company needed to prove itself through this confrontation and show that the synthetic company has real strength, rather than just a facade.
This left the 7th Steel Company with no way to defend, leaving them with only one way out -
That's attack!!
Not only do we have to attack, but we have to attack sharply and win this confrontation beautifully.
If it is a hard-fought victory, or a victory through traditional combat without any characteristics, rather than a crushing victory with tactical leadership.
It is simply not enough to prove to the leaders that the 7th Steel Company, which has undergone synthetic transformation, really has the strength that a synthetic company should have, so that the superiors can be convinced.
Agreeing to allow the synthetic company to land would be a fantasy.
Since there is no second way to go, there is nothing to discuss.
Just pull out the contract tactics and do it.
In the following months of the synthetic transformation, each squad of the 7th Steel Company conducted various actual combat simulation trainings, which were sufficient to cope with most enemy situations.
Even though this is only the first battle, there is still plenty of experience to draw on.
but.
To maximize the performance of contract tactics and minimize the probability of making mistakes.
Chen Jun did not stay in the rear with the company headquarters, but transformed himself into a front-line commander and fighter, combining command and combat in one. He personally led the reconnaissance squad and charged towards the Red Third Company.
In addition to the second squad of the first platoon being responsible for protecting the company headquarters, the first squad is responsible for following the company headquarters to provide logistics support.
The second and third platoons were all deployed, following diagonally behind the third squad, one on the left and one on the right, and together with the spearhead reconnaissance squad in front, formed a "品" tactical formation.
With a reconnaissance squad going ahead to check the enemy situation, the firepower platoon and the tactical platoon will be very safe.
The firepower platoon and the tactical platoon follow closely behind, providing powerful firepower support and various tactical maneuver support anytime and anywhere.
The reconnaissance squad walking in front is also full of confidence and there is no need to be timid and hesitant.
The three are separate and independent units, but they also maintain close contact at all times during battle and can help each other at any time.
Highlight a core, and each one is the core,
This is the advantage of contract tactics!
As the most basic synthetic unit, the synthetic company mainly emphasizes the coordination between various units, and the demand for equipment technology is not high at this stage.
If it reaches the level of a combined regiment or above, the combat units will increase exponentially and the combat range will be wider.
The wider the combat range, the more combat units there are.
Communication will become more complicated and difficult.
It will obviously not be possible to rely on walkie-talkies and individual communication radios to communicate like we do now, and it will not meet combat requirements at all.
Therefore, Chen Jun’s evolution outline for the 7th Steel Company includes the creation of an information-based command system exclusive to the combined forces.
It is expected that preparations will start from the combined battalion and will be put into use when the combined regiment is formed.
……
Driven by the full offensive plan, more than 70% of the troops of the 7th Steel Company have been deployed in the offense, leaving the defense relatively weak.
In order to ensure that the company would not be "stolen", Chen Jun used a very special method.
That is to move the company headquarters as far away as possible and directly move it to the southwest corner of the A051 area, hiding it close to the edge of the area.
Even if some members of the Red Third Company escaped, it would take a long time to find the company headquarters.
At the same time, Chen Jun's side will continue to attack, with a strong offensive momentum, constantly forcing the Red Third Company, leaving it unable to search the Seventh Company headquarters.
Even if a team was sent to search the Seventh Company, their speed would definitely not be as fast as his.
The best defense is offense.
Gao Cheng has a preliminary understanding of combined warfare, but is still far from maturity and proficiency. He and the soldiers also need to learn and improve.
So when facing this crucial assessment confrontation, Gao Cheng did not try to brag.
Instead, he chose to delegate power!
The command of the company was handed over to Chen Jun, who was responsible for dispatching all the squads and platoons in the company, and his consent was not required before giving orders.
Gao Cheng's open-minded and enlightened combat thinking allowed Chen Jun to display his skills without any constraints.
Chen Jun’s tactics are also more radical!
Under the implementation of the principle that time is life, the sharp knife reconnaissance squad was like a real sharp knife, stabbing from the A051 area to the B186 area. It was straight and without any bends, and the aggressive spirit was surging and passionate.
From the starting point of the 7th Steel Company to the center line of both sides, the sharp reconnaissance company, traveling in troop carriers, moved at an extremely fast speed, covering a distance of three kilometers in just over five minutes.
When they were still 300 meters away from the center line, Chen Jun suddenly ordered the whole class to get off the bus and walk.
The troop carrier found a place to hide behind a ridge and stopped right next to it, using camouflage cloth and nearby bushes and weeds as camouflage.
Led by Chen Jun, ten soldiers chose a hidden terrain and walked forward.
"Reporting to the steel plant, this is the sharp knife. We have reached 300 meters from the center line. We are now starting to infiltrate on foot. No enemy has been found yet. Over."
Chen Jun used Shi Jin's personal radio to report dynamic conditions to Gaocheng in the rear.
Although Gao Cheng handed over the command to Chen Jun and all actions did not need to be reported to him, Chen Jun was obliged to report his movements to the company headquarters at any time.
The dynamics of each unit are all collected at the company headquarters, so the company commander Gao Cheng can adjust the deployment at any time.
"The steel mill received the request and will proceed as planned. Over."
Gao Cheng's answer was very straightforward and principled, and he did not interfere with Chen Jun's actions.
"Everyone, trot forward."
Chen Jun put the microphone back into the individual radio for storage, gave orders and started moving forward.
"Platoon Leader Chen, why don't you take a car? It's much faster to take a car and find people quickly. Walking is too slow. You will be exhausted to death if you try to find the headquarters of the Third Company."
Gan Xiaoning followed the team and moved forward quickly, which did not affect his chattering at all.
"Drive? Are all the people in your Red Third Company blind? Can't you see the dust raised behind the car?" Chengcai looked at him as if he was a fool.
"Yes, he drove fast and delivered fast. He whizzed past and was surrounded by the third company. The show is over."
Bai Tiejun is short and thin, and looks very honest, but in fact, he has a sharp tongue and is more vicious than anyone else.
"You just do nothing but slack off all day long. If you mess up this confrontation, I will skin you alive." Wu Liuyi scolded sternly.
"Deputy squad leader, I support you. Skin him and I'll help you." Bai Tiejun said with a grin.
"Okay, be serious."
Seeing that his soldiers were not serious at this time, Shi Jin had to come out to interrupt, and then asked with concern: "Sanduo, can you carry it? If not, give me some, so that you can relax a little."
"No need, squad leader, I can do it. I can carry as many as I want."
Xu Sanduo rejected Shi Jin's kindness and grinned, revealing his big white teeth. From his expression, it can be seen that he is very excited.
It is indeed worth getting excited about!
It has been more than five months since Xu Sanduo was transferred to the Seventh Steel Company. He has been assigned to the kitchen team for more than five months and has peeled several thousand kilograms of potatoes.
Now I can finally train with the third class, and I can also be "entrusted with important tasks"——
Humanoid draft horse
All kinds of tactical equipment and supplies, including camouflage cloth, dry food, medical kits, climbing ropes, night vision goggles, etc., were given to Xu Sanduo to carry.
Together with Xu Sanduo's own personal belongings, the total weight exceeded 50 kilograms.
The weapons and personal supplies of the others weighed less than 20 kilograms in total. Xu Sanduo carried more than twice as much as everyone else. No wonder Shi Jin was worried.
"Okay, then you carry it first. If you can't hold on, tell me anytime."
Shi Jin knew that this was a test from Chen Jun for Xu Sanduo, because it was Chen Jun who asked Xu Sanduo to participate in the confrontation, and it was also Chen Jun who asked Xu Sanduo to carry these things.
Thinking that Xu Sanduo has not yet finished his official duties, it will be a long time before he can return to normal training.
So I didn't say anything else.
Chen Jun noticed the conversation between the two and was very satisfied that Xu Sanduo did not slack off.
The team was also chatting and moving closer to the center line.
"Okay, everyone, stop."
There were only 150 meters left to the center line. Chen Jun ordered the team to stop and then arranged: "Wu Liuyi, the center line is ahead. Put down your backpack and ask a helper to speed up and jump over to check the spot first."
"Yes."
Wu Liu took off his backpack and called out, "Xie Chong, take off your backpack and follow me."
"Yes."
Xie Chong, who was called, responded immediately, quickly put down his backpack, switched to light luggage, and ran out with Wu Liuyi.
Xie Chong was also a member of the competition team. Although his running ability was not as good as Wu Liuyi and Chen Jun, his personal strength was actually very strong.
Not to mention other grassroots companies.
Even the 7th Steel Company, which is full of strong men, belongs to the first echelon.
With his strength and ability, he is qualified to be an assaulter of the spearhead reconnaissance company.
Together with Wu Liuyi, the sprinter machine gunner, the forward reconnaissance team is definitely top-notch and Chen Jun can fully trust it.
"The rest of you stay here and rest."
After Wu Liuyi and Xie Cong ran out, Chen Jun led the team to the embankment on the left.
The plateau terrain is covered with bare loess everywhere. Even if there is vegetation, it is sparse grass and shrubs, which is far less hidden than the mountains.
Without knowing the situation of the center line, we wonder whether the Red Third Company will also drive along the center line.
The fewer people there are, the less likely it is to be exposed.
Wu Liuyi and Xie Chongyi held the gun in one hand and ran forward with big strides. They quickly ran more than a hundred meters, and then they changed to crouching and leaping for the remaining dozens of meters.
Although the Loess Plateau does not have dense vegetation, its terrain is very undulating.
Moreover, due to soil erosion, many places have been eroded by water to form various gullies and ridges, and the vision cannot reach very far.
Wu Liuyi and Xie Chong could only move forward cautiously, picking up the ridges along the ditches.
The journey was still calm.
Wu Liuyi and Xie Chong came to the center line and observed carefully but found nothing unusual.
Then he walked about twenty meters to the left and came to a small earthen slope. He observed with a telescope for a while, but did not see the floating dust dragon.
This means there are no cars driving nearby!
"Calling squad leader, this is Wu Liuyi. No blue troops are seen, and no abnormalities are found. Over." Wu Liuyi reported on the intercom.
This reporting method is different from company and platoon reports, and is more like the model between special teams.
And this is what Chen Jun taught.
"Wait, class deputy, look there."
Just after Wu Liuyi finished his report, Xie Chong suddenly shouted and pointed to the 11 o'clock direction.
Wu Liuyi looked in the direction of the finger and indeed found that something was wrong there. He picked up the telescope and took a closer look, and his eyebrows immediately raised.
About 300 meters away, on the top of the hill, there was a faint dust rising.
This means that there is a vehicle driving over there, and the direction is towards Wu Liuyi, so the dust will become higher and higher and more and more visible.
"This is a military restricted area and it can't be a local car. The people coming here must be from the Red Third Company. I didn't expect that we would be able to catch such a fish right after we arrived."
After training for half a year, this was the moment. Xie Chong was so excited that his face started to turn red.
