Chapter 162: Take a bite of the Blues first!

It's not even three o'clock in the afternoon and the sun is still high in the sky.

The light inside the Blue Army's headquarters was dim.

This command center, which doesn't even have windows, has an even more depressing and solemn atmosphere in the darkness.

The internal space of the headquarters was not large, and it did not have the huge command system of the Red Army headquarters. Dozens of communications soldiers were required to guard the large number of radio stations and equipment, and there were more than a dozen commanders at all levels.

There are only four communications soldiers here, plus a number of commanding personnel who can be counted on one hand.

So simple that it’s a bit deserted!

Sitting at the head was Colonel Cui Zhiguo, who was the chief of staff of the Blue Army.

Because the Blue Army was a temporary assessment force without a regular military chief, Cui Zhiguo was equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Blue Army.

but.

Even though he was assigned by the army headquarters, Cui Zhiguo was still a little short of being able to command Battalion A.

Its main function is to coordinate the operations of Squadron A and the Aviation Squadron.

On the left of the colonel was a familiar face, sitting there with a look of arrogance in his eyes, even his smile was cold, the "King of Old A"——

railway!

As a strategic-level special forces unit directly under the General Staff Headquarters under the management of the Capital Military Region, which has no group army qualification to manage, it is mainly responsible for the experimental practice of our army's cutting-edge new equipment, new tactics and new battle methods under the wave of modernization and information reform, as well as the captain of Battalion A for development tasks.

The railway's identity is extremely special. Even if he is only a colonel with a rank of 23 cents, the entire army group has to give him some face.

It is equivalent to Chen Jun now being in the 702nd Regiment, where his status has surpassed his military rank and position.

The lieutenant colonel sitting next to Tieluo was wearing the same temperate jungle camouflage combat uniform as Tieluo and had a nonchalant expression on his face. He was also an acquaintance.

He is the combat ceiling of "Soldier Assault", the squadron leader Yuan Lang who is known as a smiling tiger.

The officer sitting on Cui Zhiguo's right is also a colonel with a salary of 23 cents, but from his blue and white camouflage combat uniform, it can be seen that he is from the Army Aviation Corps.

Next to him there is also a lieutenant colonel in blue and white camouflage, and his configuration is very similar to that of Old A.

The total number of command personnel in a command center was only five people, and even if the technical personnel were included, there were less than ten people.

Compared with the Red Army, it looks much more deserted.

The "coldness" of this command center is precisely one of the purposes of this military reform.

Through a more information-based command system, the command system can be made more streamlined, reducing the number of times commands are transmitted, improving the efficiency of the command system and saying goodbye to the traditional bloated command system.

"Captain Tie, how do you think the 702nd Regiment should be tested this time?"

Just like in previous confrontations, Cui Zhiguo handed over the formulation of the combat plan for the confrontation exercise to Captain Lao A, who was at the forefront of military reform.

The group army's inspection and investigation of the troops this time was originally centered around Battalion A.

The railway is the actual commander-in-chief!
"The heavy troops all have the same style, and the 702nd Regiment is no exception. There is nothing special about them. We don't need to treat them differently. We can just use the same tactics to defeat them and finish before dark tomorrow."

Tieluo held a cigarette between his fingers, leaned back in his chair, half-closed his eyes, and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"I've already eaten four heavy-armored troops, and the longest one didn't last a day. I hope the 702nd Regiment can give me some motivation. Otherwise, it's too boring and I can't muster any energy at all."

Yuan Lang was not as arrogant as Tielu and he also smoked during the meeting, but his tone was exactly the same, as expected, they were from the same family.

"Haha."

Cui Zhiguo laughed and praised: "Your playing style is really special. Every time you make a move, it is hard to predict the next move.

This kind of ghostly fighting style is enough to give the heavy armored regiment below a headache, even if I lead the mountain regiment, it would be enough to give me a headache if I encounter you. "

Cui Zhiguo is almost fifty years old, so he can be said to be knowledgeable.

But Old A really made him feel unfamiliar!

"Times are advancing, and so is technology. If we stick to traditional warfare, we will end up in a dead end."

Tielu raised his chin slightly, took a puff of cigarette, and said arrogantly: "Our Lao A is the grindstone. If we don't torture them severely, how can we make them recognize themselves and know their shortcomings and defects?"

“The role of the Blue Team is the sharpening stone, and that’s the value of this exercise.”

Cui Zhiguo turned to the right and said, "Captain Tian, tomorrow's mountain exercise is tentatively scheduled to be the old plan. Do you have anything to add?"

The Army Aviation Brigade is the main firepower output point and must be given certain recognition and affirmation.

"General Staff Cui, our cooperation with Battalion A has always been smooth and effective. We have won four games in a row. I believe that this fifth confrontation exercise will remain the same as before. My battalion is ready to be deployed at any time." Captain Tian said with a smile.

"Okay, then it's decided."

Chief of Staff Cui stood up and walked to the sand table on the right. The light hanging above it turned on, illuminating the entire sand table.

Tielu, Yuan Lang, Captain Tian and others stood up and gathered around the sand table.

"According to the established battle plan, tomorrow at nine o'clock..."

Cui Zhiguo pointed to a high ground in the sand table and said, "Captain Tie, the ground mission is now handed over to you. There are two tasks that you need to complete.

We had no way to hold our position, so we could only use the old method to delay time.

You will send a special forces sniper team to our frontline to stop the Red Army. You don't have to hold the position, you just need to kill as many as possible and delay the Red Army's pace.

The second is to send an elite reconnaissance team to infiltrate the Red Army's frontline and find the Red Army headquarters."

Because there has not been a formal battle with the Red Army yet, the butterfly's wings have not yet flapped, and the tactics arranged by the Blue Army's Chief of Staff are the same as the original plot.

"Yuan Lang, the mission has been issued. You don't need me to tell you what to do." Tielu looked at Yuan Lang and said.

"Heavy troops are terrible at mountain warfare. A position doesn't need many. One small group is enough. As for the Red Army headquarters..."

Yuan Lang grinned and said, looking in the direction of the Army Aviation Captain, “When my team sets off, your helicopter can be warmed up.

It will take at most half an hour, or at most two hours, and then you can take off and start working."

Yuan Lang was not being arrogant; he was simply confident in his own abilities.

Each of the four heavy armored regiments that were killed in the previous reconnaissance exercise was no weaker than the 702nd, and they were all as fragile as children in front of Old A.

The command center couldn't hide at all. The longest it lasted was only an hour and a half before it was discovered.

It took Yuan Lang two hours to find the Red Army headquarters, which meant he left half an hour for the return trip. This was already very cautious.

"Okay, I like this confidence."

Cui Zhiguo gave Yuan Lang a thumbs up, and then began to give orders to the Army Aviation Brigade.

The gameplay is still the same as the original plot.

The armed helicopters were divided into two groups, one of which was responsible for attacking the Red Army tanks and heavy artillery to prevent the Red Army's heavy firepower from moving forward to cover and bomb the Old A sniper group.

Another group of armed helicopters were on standby at all times, waiting for Old A to send back the coordinates of the Red Army headquarters, and then launching a lightning decapitation operation.

In addition to these major deployments, various small detail tactics were also subsequently implemented.

The Red Army and Blue Army headquarters were arranging tactics, and the subordinate units were also actively preparing for war, preparing all the necessary ammunition, fuel, and supplies.

Both sides were busy from top to bottom, without even a moment's rest until nightfall.

After both parties were ready, they began to gather their strength.

……

the next day.

7 month 28 number.

Soldiers from all sixteen companies of the 702nd Regiment were deployed according to the combat plan decided at the regimental headquarters meeting and the position configuration required by the exercise.

For example, the relevant positions belonging to the Red Army need to send troops to garrison there in advance.

Troops preparing to attack can also be deployed in advance and wait in the best position so that they can take action as soon as the exercise begins.

Although this may seem a bit opportunistic, it does not violate the rules of the exercise.

When the time came to 8:55.

There were only five minutes left before the exercise began.

All units of the regiment have arrived at the designated locations and are conducting final inspections before the exercise begins, waiting for the directorate's order to begin the exercise.

As the spearhead of the 702nd Regiment, the th Steel Company took on arduous tasks in this exercise.

At this time, Gao Cheng arranged three rows of troops in three different positions with different configurations in order to complete their different tasks in the early stage.

One of the platoons was divided into two groups with different missions and followed the company to the front line to perform support work.

The remaining two squads were in position at the front line, with two or three people huddled together, conducting a final inspection according to the orders of Platoon Leader Shi Jin.

Because armored vehicles are very inconvenient for mountain warfare, they become a burden especially for scouts.

Therefore, the 7th Steel Company has collectively abandoned armored vehicles and all have become standard mountain infantry, and the equipment configuration has also been adjusted accordingly.

The second and third squads of the first platoon are reconnaissance squads, and their mission is to scout the enemy situation in the blue army's frontline positions.

Therefore, the equipment is mainly light and portable.

In addition to the regular rifles and machine guns, both squads were only equipped with an additional rocket launcher, and did not even carry the anti-aircraft vanguard.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong once the battle begins, acting platoon leader Shi Jin personally checks the equipment one by one.

Shi Jin is an honest and upright person. He is also very meticulous in doing things. Even the wiring of the laser simulation countermeasure device will be carefully checked.

Especially when examining Xu Sanduo, Shi Jin was worried that Xu Sanduo was stupid and might cause trouble.

While checking, he also carefully reminded: "Don't mess with this wire. If it breaks, it can cause blindness in your eyes."

"Thank you, monitor. Hehe."

Xu Sanzhong nodded heavily and smiled foolishly, revealing his two white teeth.

Although he had participated in the division's confrontation exercises before and had also worn this kind of laser exercise confrontation equipment, he didn't even have bullets last time, he was just a human-shaped camel-horse.

This time, I can finally become a member of the reconnaissance squad as a scout.

Xu Sanduo was very excited and cherished this opportunity.

"August 1st is coming soon. I don't know how long this exercise will last. I'm afraid there won't be a holiday. The squad leader wishes you a happy holiday in advance."

Shi Jin helped Xu Sanduo button his hat and patted his shoulders and said.

"Happy holidays to you too, squad leader."

Xu Sanduo straightened his chest and saluted, his big white teeth were really eye-catching.

at this time.

"Puff puff~"

Three explosions were heard in the sky.

Shi Jin turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from, and found three red incendiary bombs shooting straight into the sky, still very dazzling in broad daylight.

Others also looked over, knowing that this was a signal from the director's office.

The red incendiary bomb rose up and the exercise officially began.

"It's so beautiful, just like a flower."

Shi Jin looked at the incendiary bomb with a sigh, then he retracted his gaze and gave a loud order: "Okay, the exercise has begun. Everyone assemble, with Wu Liuyi in the lead."

"All assembled."

The squad leaders of the second and third squads shouted together, and all the soldiers immediately ran towards Shi Jin.

"Look to the right, look forward..."

Comrade Shi Jin, the newly appointed platoon leader, officially began his first confrontation exercise, the battle of his life as a platoon commander.

The next combat mission of the two squads is to conduct close reconnaissance of all the Blue Army's front-line positions.

After the exercise began, the three squads of the second platoon rushed to three directions according to their different tasks to complete the tasks assigned to them by Chen Jun.

With his God's eye for this plot, Chen Jun will make the most of these three classes.

We should try to let the three classes play to their strengths and get a piece of the Blues' flesh before the butterfly's wings flap and the plot changes drastically.

The Third Platoon was responsible for the heavy firepower of the Seventh Steel Company, and without armored vehicles for transportation and carrying.

Chen Jun could only make temporary changes based on demand.

Only three of the six 100mm mortars were left. After each squad carried a mortar, there were still seven extra people to carry ammunition.

Each artillery shell weighs eight kilograms, and each soldier can carry two to three shells depending on his or her physical fitness.

Seven people can carry about 18 shells, and three squads can carry at least shells in total, which is enough to ensure the firepower endurance of three mortars.

The reason why the mortar was cut in half was that seven people were used to carry the shells.

The reason is that when ammunition is limited, no matter how many mortars there are, their uses are very limited, and after the shells are used up, they are just a pile of scrap metal.

The remaining shells are not affected, and even if there is only one gun left, it can fire all the shells.

Due to the special functions of the fire platoon, they cannot demonstrate their value at all when fighting in coordination with the regiment's fire company.

In addition, once the infiltration operation behind enemy lines is actually launched, the soldiers in the firepower platoon will inevitably be the hardest hit.

Each person carries dozens of kilograms of weight and marches in the mountains where there are no roads. The physical exertion is very huge, so it is best to save energy in the early stages.

Therefore, there are no tasks in the early stage of the three-person team. You just need to find a safe place to rest.

Compared to the 7th Steel Company, which had all turned into infantry, the noise they made was very small and almost negligible in this dense jungle.

After the battle started, the first and third battalions' displays were extremely shocking.
