Chapter 140: I'll Kill You in 1 Minute
Chapter 140 I'll Kill You in One Minute (Two in One)
The division leaders in the confrontation command center were shocked by the 7th Steel Company's rebellion. After a brief silence, they began to discuss the matter like a surging tide.
"The Red Army's Seventh Company is too reckless. Using a smaller force to defeat a larger one is common sense in the military. How can they take such a big risk to gamble for a wave of profits?"
"I heard that this Red Army company is trying to synthesize, the first one in our group army, but synthesized tactics... that's not how it works."
"It's really too risky. One misstep could lead to eternal regret. The originally scheduled three-day exercise might only take three hours."
"The combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance battalion is very strong. It is incomparable with the grassroots companies below. The 702th Steel Company may be the best in the nd Regiment, but compared with the reconnaissance battalion... there is still a gap."
……
Almost everyone was discussing it, and the entire command center was filled with various voices.
The confidentiality level of an exercise involving the division's direct reconnaissance battalion must be very high, and not everyone can enter the command center.
Except for Captain Wang and several of his staff officers, the others were leaders at all levels in the division.
The money he carried on his shoulders was more than two and a half cents.
But no matter how high their military rank is or how many years they have served in the army, most of them don't really understand the contract tactics that are popular in the wave of military reform.
but.
It doesn’t matter whether you understand it or not.
It did not prevent them from coming up to evaluate the Seventh Company. They did not approve of the synthetic transformation of the Seventh Steel Company, and they were all pessimistic about the ambush of the Seventh Steel Company.
I think that the 7th Steel Company is overconfident and is unable to recognize that it is "seeking its own death."
Even after witnessing the strong individual strength displayed by the 7th Steel Company under the leadership of Chen Jun in the competition, he did not change his mind.
The commander sitting in the main seat just sat there with a frown on his face, and did not make any comments leaning towards one side just as the confrontation had just begun.
In his opinion, any judgment is premature before seeing the results.
But it can be seen from his expression that he was not satisfied with the risky move of the 7th Steel Company, which he thought was not a good tactic.
It also did not meet his expectations of a modern synthetic company.
"Chen Jun, Chen Jun, you guys can have fun, but please don't overdo it. I've been preparing for so long, I don't want to go back to the group in disgrace."
Captain Wang frowned and prayed in his heart. Outsiders could not interfere or resist, so this was all he could do.
……
In this one-sided discussion atmosphere, the remaining half hour passed quickly.
"Go ahead, full speed ahead."
The commander of the 3rd Reconnaissance Company could not wait any longer. He got on the car and yelled, adding: "Hurry up and finish the work early so that you can go home in time for lunch. The field rations are really bad."
Although the third company commander's words were very bold, they were really effective in boosting morale.
The morale of the Reconnaissance Company 3 seemed to be ignited. The soldiers on each vehicle were so excited that they were howling, wishing they could kill the Steel Company 7 in a matter of minutes.
The No. 11 training ground has not been used for some time, and the vehicle marks left by the 7th Steel Company are very obvious.
The Blue Army's Third Company didn't even need to get out of the car to look. The co-pilot could open the top cover and stick his head out to see the ground clearly and give directions to the driver.
The terrain of the Loess Plateau is not flat, and the shock absorption effect of tracked vehicles is relatively poor.
Not only is the speed slow, but it is also uncomfortable to sit in the car.
However, the confident soldiers of the Blue Army's Third Company were extremely excited, thinking that they would soon be able to capture the Red Army's Seventh Steel Company and let them experience the difference in strength.
His mind was full of thoughts on how to easily wipe out the Red Army's 7th Steel Company after catching up with them.
I never expected that the 7th Steel Company did not run away.
The leaders in the command center know the situation of both sides.
As the Blue Army's Third Company advanced rapidly along the route and got closer and closer to the Red Army's ambush circle, the atmosphere became more and more tense and exciting.
What kind of sparks will appear when the two companies collide?
All leaders are looking forward to it!
After the Blue Army's 3rd Reconnaissance Company galloped for about twenty minutes, a small woods on the right side of the road came into view, quite eye-catching on the bare plateau.
"Report to the company commander, we found a small woods ahead. Do we need to stop the car and go in to check?" The observer of the lead vehicle called out, still quite alert.
"Pay attention to the road conditions. If the wheels don't change much, you don't need to worry about it." The third company commander ordered.
Just as Chen Jun expected at the beginning, the captain of the reconnaissance company No. 3 used conventional logical thinking and believed that the steel company No. 7 must be running forward at full speed.
If the convoy stopped to enter the woods for inspection, it would take up a lot of time and would not be able to quickly catch up with the 7th Steel Company.
So in order to end the confrontation as soon as possible, the captain of the third company of the Blue Army did not choose to stop the car to check, but simply ordered the observer of the lead car to observe.
If you find messy car tracks on the edge of the woods, it is not too late to stop the car and go into the woods to check.
Such an arrangement does sound reasonable.
The observer of the lead vehicle did not raise any objections. According to the instructions of the Blue Army company commander, he began to take out his binoculars to observe the road surface, the sides of the road and the woods.
It was confirmed that the tire tracks did not disappear into the woods, but continued along the road into the distance.
The observer reported to the company commander: "Report to the company commander, there is nothing unusual in the woods, the vehicle tracks have been on the road, and there are no other traces on both sides of the road."
"Keep up the speed, they shouldn't be far away. We'll definitely catch up with them in another hour."
The captain of the third company of the Blue Army replied to the observer with a smile on his face, as if victory was just around the corner and he would be able to defeat the Seventh Steel Company soon.
200 meters...100 meters...50 meters...
The Blue Army's Third Company did not notice anything unusual, did not slow down, and did not take any precautions, and quickly approached from a distance.
As the lead car entered the wooded section of the road, the following cars followed one after another.
The team of ten cars stretched over a hundred meters, and the dust raised made it difficult for the cars behind to have a good view except for the lead car.
The soldiers in the car wanted to look through the observation hole to see the rare green trees to refresh their eyes, but they could only see vaguely.
Because there was yellow soil on both sides of the car.
At this time, everyone in the car was still talking and laughing, unaware that danger had arrived and they had fallen into a trap.
then.
A welcome scene appeared.
Just as the last car entered the forest road, a large number of bushes suddenly moved at the edge of the woods about ten meters ahead of the leading vehicle.
As it drove, branches and bushes fell to the ground, gradually revealing its true form hidden underneath.
By the time all the Type 89 armored personnel carriers had been picked up, the vehicles had already been parked across the road, completely blocking the already narrow road.
It happened so suddenly.
The leading car of the Blue Army was startled and instinctively stepped on the brakes immediately, but because it was going too fast, it still crashed into the armored vehicle.
"Clang~"
The sound of armor plates colliding was dull and loud.
Fortunately, the car behind was not too close, and the speed was not very fast, only 17 or 18 kilometers, so there was enough time to brake in time. However, the armored vehicles braked suddenly, causing everyone in the car to fall to the ground.
"Fuck, what's going on?"
"What are you doing? Can you drive?"
"Damn it, why do you have to brake so suddenly? You could kill someone with a sudden brake."
……
The people in the car didn't know what was going on. They just thought that the driver's driving skills were poor. They cursed and got up to go out to see what was going on.
The lead car is the only one that knows the situation.
But because the two cars collided, both the observer and the driver staggered.
When he steadied himself and picked up the car's microphone, ready to report the situation to the company commander, he heard a series of explosions outside the car, or to be more precise, from under the car's chassis.
Although the sound of the explosion was not loud, the reaction inside the car was quite loud.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
The smoke canisters in each car were triggered, and a thick blue smoke came out.
"What the hell, why is there smoke?"
"It's a smoke canister. How did it trigger? It's so strange. The drill equipment must be broken. What bad luck."
"Ahem, hurry up, get out of the car, get out of the car quickly."
……
Amid waves of crying and cursing, the soldiers in the vehicle hurriedly opened the rear door and ran out cursing and coughing.
I thought only the equipment in my car was broken, but when I got out of the car I found that it was not the only car wrapped in blue smoke.
But all the cars were emitting blue smoke.
According to the relevant rules of the exercise, if smoke appears inside and outside the armored vehicle at the same time, it means that it has been completely destroyed and has completely lost its combat effectiveness.
"What the hell? Why is everything smoking?"
For unknown reasons, all the cars were scrapped. Most of the people in the Blue Army's Third Company looked at each other, all dumbfounded as they looked at the entire car.
"Hide, hide quickly, we are under attack, find the enemy quickly."
The third company commander of the Blue Army jumped out of the car anxiously and angrily. The breakdown of equipment in one car was an accident, but all the cars were smoking at the same time, which meant that something must have happened.
Not to mention that the third company commander also saw a car parked horizontally behind the convoy.
The road was blocked in front and behind, and considering the symptoms the car showed, there was only one possibility left: an attack by the Red Army.
Perhaps it was as the Blue Army's third company commander said, the enemy appeared without him having to look for him.
"Da da da da..."
The sudden burst of gunfire was as dense as firecrackers.
When the Blue Army heard the company commander shout that they were under enemy attack, they instinctively felt that the woods were safer, so they all approached the woods and became sitting ducks with no cover.
Under the fire of more than 30 guns of the Red Army, more than half of the people were eliminated in an instant.
Hearing the intensive gunfire coming from the woods, the people of the 3rd Company of the Blue Army finally reacted and realized that the enemy was hiding in the woods in front of them.
But now I want to escape.
It's too late.
In just a few seconds, more than 60% of the Blue Army soldiers were covered in smoke and became corpses, withdrawing from the confrontation exercise.
The remaining soldiers hid on the other side and survived by using armored vehicles as cover.
The third company commander, who had barely survived by crawling, had no time to curse the Red Army for being so cunning. He could only quickly find a way to organize a defense.
But when he calmed down the remaining thirty or so people and was about to call the radio station for help from the first and second reconnaissance companies.
An open-top 212 military vehicle appeared in front. Relying on the advantage of being an off-road vehicle, it drove directly outside the road and went around the grass into the Blue Army convoy.
One of the referees, standing in the back seat of the car with his left hand on the stand, shouted through a megaphone: “Cease fire, everyone cease fire.
All the members of the Blue Army's reconnaissance company have been killed. Please cooperate with us to withdraw from the exercise, immediately.
Repeat, the entire Blue Army Reconnaissance Company has been killed..."
The referee shouted three times in a row with a loudspeaker. Even though Chen Jun was in the woods due to the interference of gunfire, he could still vaguely hear the general idea.
So he ordered everyone in the Seventh Company to stop and wait for the next instructions from the director's referee.
"Why? We still have so many people. Even without armored vehicles, we can hold out for a few hours. Even if we can't get in, the Red Army can't get out. Why do you say we are all dead?"
The commander of the Third Reconnaissance Company was already very angry because they had suffered a huge loss in an ambush by the Red Army. Now more than 30 soldiers who were still alive were declared dead, which made him even angrier.
He stuck his neck out and was very dissatisfied. He rushed to the referee of the director's office and questioned him.
"Third Captain, please don't be dissatisfied."
The referee from the director's office was also very tough, and explained without giving any face: "The confrontation exercise is benchmarked against the real battlefield, so manual data calculation is necessary.
Within thirty seconds after the convoy was forced to stop, your company suffered a total of eight rocket attacks from the side, twelve anti-tank mines from the ground, and six 100mm mortar grenades from the long-range artillery attack.
With this level of lethality, not only were all of your armored vehicles destroyed, but your personnel losses were conservatively estimated to be over 30%.
Over the next thirty seconds, you took six more mortar shells.
There are also Red Army troops hiding in the woods, with a strength of more than 50 people. Their continuous firepower output is enough to completely suppress you.
Taking into account all the casualties from the above attacks, it is determined that all of your company has been killed."
After listening to the referee's data analysis, the Blues' third captain's originally angry face was replaced by a dark look. He wanted to say something but couldn't.
After all, he was a company commander and he knew very well the lethality of various weapons.
A total of sixteen 100mm mortars, a dozen rockets, a dozen anti-tank mines, and nearly sixty ambush firepower...
With such a crazy and short-term inclination of firepower, a layer of this road can be cut off.
Not to mention a whole company, even if there were more people, they would all become scum.
As the destructive power of modern weapons continues to increase, human life is really fragile once attacked by intensive ambushes and concentrated fire.
"Captain of the Third Company, do you have anything else to say? If there is no problem, go ahead and give the order."
The other referee on the 212 off-road vehicle, even though he saw the ugly face of the third captain of the Blue Army, was very unwilling but unable to refute, and still gave orders coldly.
The third company commander did not answer the referee from the director's office, but turned his head and looked towards the woods angrily.
Just eliminated like that?
Thinking back to the bold words spoken before departure and then thinking about the current situation, in just over a minute, his reconnaissance company was wiped out by the enemy.
I thought the other person was a salted fish, but I didn't expect that the salted fish was myself.
The third company commander felt his face burning with shame. He was so embarrassed that he didn't even have the face to go back to the reconnaissance battalion to see the battalion commander.
