Chapter 138: The Resentment of the Division Reconnaissance Battalion!!
Chapter 138: The Resentment of the Division Reconnaissance Battalion!!
The supplies prepared by the division's logistics department were sufficient, and an area of more than a thousand square meters was used to build a supply area, with all the food, drinks and daily necessities available.
But when Chen Jun brought the 7th Steel Company over, he found the supply area very strange.
Not a single Blue Army Scout Battalion member...
Only in the open space on the right side of the supply area, there were about a company of people and vehicles resting. From their armbands and uniforms, it could be identified that they were a company of the division's reconnaissance battalion.
The division reconnaissance battalion has a total of three reconnaissance companies, but only one company is left here.
And none of them collected supplies from the supply area.
Very strange indeed.
Officer Li, who came along and was in charge of leading the way, was worthy of being a lieutenant in the division.
Have sharp eyes and observe carefully.
Seeing the confusion in the eyes of Chen Jun and others, he explained the reason to Chen Jun.
Because the three companies of the division reconnaissance battalion had to enter the site separately, and two of the companies were entering from relatively far away locations, more than 40 kilometers away from here.
If all supplies are collected here, it will inevitably affect the normal progress of the exercise.
Therefore, the confrontation command made special adjustments to allow the division reconnaissance battalion to receive all supplies first without affecting the fairness of the confrontation.
Then let the first and second companies of the reconnaissance battalion rush to the other two entry points first.
Only the third reconnaissance company is left here.
However, the actions of the 3rd Reconnaissance Company, which was left alone outside the supply area, gave a very bad impression to everyone in the 7th Steel Company.
The team leader Chen Jun frowned.
Soldiers like Wu Liuyi, who were more straightforward in character, had strong dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Because when Chen Jun brought the 7th Steel Company over, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Reconnaissance Company looked everyone in the 7th Steel Company up and down as if they were looking at monkeys, and discussed them in a joking tone.
"That's all? A grassroots company? I mean, is it necessary for our entire battalion to go out there?"
"Can they get out? If we mobilize so many people and make such a big scene, they can't last more than two hours. It will be a real joke."
"I thought it was a very powerful company, but it turns out to be a reconnaissance company under the group. When the confrontation begins, they will be beaten by us."
"In fact, we don't even need the whole battalion. Our third company can handle them."
"I know the lieutenant who led the team. He got some attention in the mid-year competition. He is quite capable and took first place from us."
"Now that you mention it, I remember that I have been wanting to get my revenge for a long time. I never expected that the opportunity would come so soon. When the confrontation begins, I will kill them."
……
The soldiers of the Third Company of the Reconnaissance Battalion were talking a lot, and they didn't even try to lower their voices. They spoke loudly on purpose so that the Seventh Steel Company could hear them.
There is absolutely no sense in which the exercise is about making mutual progress or showing sufficient respect to the opponent.
The 7th Steel Company was blatantly looked down upon in public and was not considered an opponent at all. They were even mocked and teased, with undisguised arrogance.
No matter who is in this situation, they will definitely feel very unhappy.
The 7th Steel Company did not curse back in person, which was quite restrained.
But this beam...
It has grown very solid!
The reason why the reconnaissance battalion was so hostile to the 7th Steel Company was that the confrontation was full of gunpowder before it even started, and they looked like they were going to eat the 7th Steel Company alive.
Of course, a big part of the reason was that I lost miserably in the mid-year competition and lost all my face.
But this is not the main reason.
The main reason comes from that arrogance!
The reconnaissance battalion gathers the elites of the entire division, and only experts can enter this place.
This makes everyone in the reconnaissance battalion proud, and they feel that the reconnaissance battalion is the best unit in the entire division and an independent and special existence.
Deep down, he felt that he was superior to others and did not take other companies and battalions seriously.
Considering himself invincible at the company and battalion level!
Even if we set up an infantry regiment at a higher level, there would be a certain chance of winning.
They never thought that any grassroots company would be qualified to confront their reconnaissance company.
They never thought that one day the division commander would actually turn against Tiangang and mobilize their entire reconnaissance battalion just to fight against a grassroots company.
In the eyes of the division reconnaissance battalion, this was no less than a provincial team being sent to compete with a village team.
It's really unbelievable!!
This kind of humiliation is unacceptable!!
In their opinion, the reconnaissance battalion should send out a reconnaissance company to challenge a main battalion or even a main regiment of the lower group.
Instead of letting the best reconnaissance battalion in the entire division lower its status and engage in confrontation with the grassroots companies.
Winning is shameless, and losing is humiliating.
It's a waste of time!
It is this kind of psychological disapproval that makes people feel that it is a very shameful thing to confront an opponent who is so much weaker in strength.
All officers and soldiers in the division's reconnaissance battalion had strong objections to this confrontation exercise.
The battalion commander even went to see the division commander in person, saying that there was no way the reconnaissance battalion could lose against the 7th Steel Company because the gap between the two sides was too big.
There wasn't a single suspense to speak of, and he wasn't interested in fighting at all.
He confidently boasted that a mere grassroots company, any reconnaissance company of the reconnaissance battalion, would be enough to easily deal with the 7th Steel Company.
There's no need to make a fuss!
In order to increase the value and viewing experience of the confrontation and restore the real situation of the battlefield as much as possible, the division commander did not mention the performance of the 7th Steel Company in the first confrontation. He only said that this was a preliminary assessment arranged by the division and asked the reconnaissance battalion to execute according to the order.
Being able to face the division commander directly is the greatest privilege of a battalion commander, and he would definitely not dare to disobey the division commander's orders.
Therefore, no matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you have to follow the orders of the division.
The reconnaissance battalion was unwilling to participate and had strong resistance to this confrontation exercise, so naturally they would not give a good face to the 7th Steel Company.
Even from the perspective of the division's reconnaissance battalion, arranging an "such a bad" opponent is equivalent to looking down on the reconnaissance battalion and wasting their time and energy. It is completely understandable that they are unhappy.
However, whether subjective or objective, these are the reconnaissance battalion's own business.
The 7th Steel Company itself has nothing to do with it!
Since the division's reconnaissance battalion broke the exercise principle - friendship first, competition second - the 7th Steel Company is definitely not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied.
Listening to the noisy remarks coming from the division's reconnaissance company three, the soldiers of the steel company seven were filled with anger.
Morale is like ignited gasoline.
Climbing up and up, straight into the sky.
You look down on our 7th Steel Company, right? Then our 7th Steel Company will use our strength to teach you a lesson how to behave in the confrontation exercise field.
In this atmosphere of intense anger, each unit of the 7th Steel Company went to each collection point and received various anti-war supplies in an orderly manner.
From personal compressed dry food, canned food, blank ammunition and laser simulators;
To diesel and urea used in vehicles, 100mm training shells used in mortars, 30mm grenades used in infantry fighting vehicles, etc.
After collecting all the supplies, one hour was quite tight.
The regimental confrontation did not use laser simulators, and the participants in the exercise did not carry smoke canisters or anything like that, but this time the division confrontation had all of these arranged.
It represents an upgrade in the level of military exercises!
New recruits like Chengcai and Xu Sanduo didn't know how to use the equipment at all when they first came into contact with it, so they had to be taught on the spot, making the time even more compact.
In the end, the 7th Steel Company almost arrived on time and completed the assembly at the starting point at the last minute.
The division commander, who had not shown up from beginning to end, appeared at the starting point accompanied by the chief of staff and said a few words before the start of the race.
Although the division commander didn't say much, everyone in the 7th Steel Company was extremely excited.
Even Captain Wang's breathing quickened.
It turned out that the division commander solemnly announced in front of everyone in the Seventh Company that if the Seventh Steel Company could win the confrontation, the division would approve the synthetic adaptation of the Seventh Steel Company.
And the new synthetic organization of the 7th Steel Company will be implemented in the shortest possible time.
It is equivalent to being converted into a reconnaissance combined company!
but.
What surprised Chen Jun and Gao Cheng was that the division commander did not say what would happen if they lost, nor did he even mention how to deal with the loss.
The commander definitely did not forget to say it, he could have intentionally left it in suspense.
As for why the commander left this suspense and what kind of plans he had in mind, no one present could guess.
There is no time to guess.
As soon as the division commander finished his speech, he personally gave the order to start the game.
"The exercise begins!"
With the division commander's order, the one-hour countdown has begun. Every second they save to set off earlier can keep them several meters away from the 3rd Reconnaissance Company.
"All company aboard."
Gao Cheng gave the order to board the vehicles, and the squad leaders of each squad quickly conveyed the order and led the soldiers of one squad to board the armored vehicles of each squad as quickly as possible.
The three platoon leaders all had their own arrangements and got on a vehicle designated by their platoons.
For example, Chen Jun took the third shift bus.
Gao Cheng, representing the supreme commander of the 212th Steel Company, brought his instructor and the communicator carrying a radio and boarded a Type military vehicle driven by a clerk.
"Report to the company commander, the first platoon has boarded the vehicle."
"Report to the company commander, the second platoon has boarded the vehicle."
"Report to the company commander, the third platoon has boarded the vehicle."
The three platoon leaders reported to the company commander Gao Cheng one after another through the vehicle communication. Gao Cheng picked up the microphone, took a deep breath and made arrangements: "The first platoon is in the front, the third platoon is in the back, and the command vehicle is in the middle. Let's go!"
Each platoon received the order from Gao Cheng and quickly conveyed it to each class at the first opportunity.
"Cocoa cocoa..."
Diesel engines roared violently and thick black smoke rose into the sky.
The ten vehicles of the Seventh Steel Company stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, forming an unstoppable torrent of steel, rushing towards the distance towards the rising sun.
As soon as the convoy of the 7th Steel Company left, the convoy of the 3rd Reconnaissance Company drove over.
They stopped neatly at the starting point, like hounds tied with a rope, already eyeing the prey in front of them, just waiting for the moment when the rope was released.
"Commander, the show has begun. Let's go to the command center and wait to see the performance of the 7th Steel Company."
The chief of staff looked expectant and gestured to the division commander to go first.
"Whether it is a donkey or a horse, the answer will be revealed soon. It is really exciting."
The commander, who always had a serious face, raised his lips for a rare moment, then took big steps and walked straight to the command center.
