Chapter 163 The whole group attacks!!
The 702st Battalion is the main assault battalion of the nd Regiment. It has three heavy tank companies equipped with main battle tanks and two light tank companies equipped with light tanks.

As flares soared into the sky and illuminated it, the deafening roar of engines gathered into a torrent of armored vehicles.

Except for a heavy tank company and a light tank company as reserve, the remaining three tank companies were all dispatched and attacked the three front-line positions of the Blue Army respectively.

Three tank companies were dispatched at the beginning to attack three Blue Army positions at the same time.

This shows Captain Wang's determination to win this exercise.

As the tank company kicked up clouds of dust and rumbled towards the Confederate positions, all five companies of the third battalion moved at this moment.

The logistics support company is responsible for providing fuel supplies and serves as the best logistics nanny for the armored tanks.

A company has to support a fully mechanized regiment, that is, all companies in the regiment are armored and have tanks. The support task is very arduous.

Therefore, it is necessary to temporarily transfer idle personnel from other companies in the regiment to assist in the mission.

Lao Ma, Xue Lin and Lao Wei from Grassland Class 5 are the most typical "idle personnel".

Among the three of them, except Lao Ma, he was relatively calm. After all, he had been in the 702nd Regiment for more than ten years and had seen all kinds of battles, big and small.

Xue Lin and Lao Wei were so excited!

The two of them are much younger than Lao Ma, and have always been staying in Class 5 in the remote and desolate grassland.

On ordinary days, there are only a few people here. This kind of large-scale military exercise at the regiment level is the first time for the two of them to participate in their lives.

Last night, on their first night in the camp, the two were so excited that they couldn't sleep the whole night.

While they were excited to witness the grand scene, the three people, including Lao Ma, were also looking forward to seeing Xu Sanduo in this exercise.

There's nothing too important to do, we just want to sit together and chat and reminisce.

After all, since Xu Sanduo left Grassland Class 5, everyone hasn't seen each other for several months, and no one has heard from Xu Sanduo again.

I thought that the 7th Steel Company would also come over for supplies, and I would have a chance to reminisce with Xu Sanduo in person.

Later that day, the regiment received an order stating that according to the combat plan made by the regimental command, the Second Battalion did not need to come over for fuel replenishment.

Lao Ma and the other two were dumbfounded on the spot!

So when they were making preparations yesterday afternoon, Lao Ma and the other two had to think of a different approach.

Every time they refueled an armored vehicle or tank, they would specifically ask the soldiers inside the vehicle if they had seen Xu Sanduo from the 7th Steel Company.

Regardless of whether they have seen the other party's answer before or not, they will beg for help in conveying a message to Xu Sanduo.

"Just say that his comrades in the Grassland Class 5 are also here to participate in this military exercise. If they are free, ask them to come over and meet their old buddies, especially the squad leader, Lao Ma. We miss him very much."

Although the words asked to be conveyed were very simple, there was strong emotion between the lines, and the comrades who were asked were very willing to convey the message for them.

He promised that as long as he met Xu Sanduo, he would convey their words to him.

pity.

If it were any other company in the Second Battalion, it would not be difficult to deliver a message to Xu Sanduo.

After all, the battle plan was that the tanks would first attract the Blue Army, and after determining the situation on the Blue Army's position, the next step would be for the soldiers from each company of the Second Battalion to attack the position.

The two parties have a cooperative relationship with each other, so there will be more or less opportunities for them to meet each other.

It’s not difficult to find someone to pass on the message!

However, the Seventh Company is a reconnaissance company and does not participate in any offensive operations.

What's more, Xu Sanduo was in the spearhead reconnaissance squad. He was separated from the main force throughout the battle and was a special existence who was alone and deep in the enemy's front line.

It is difficult for soldiers from other companies to encounter the 7th Steel Company, let alone the spearhead reconnaissance squad.

Lao Ma wants to meet Xu Sanduo during the exercise. This desire, which sounds very simple and plain, may become extremely difficult.

……

The logistics support company of the Third Battalion has an arduous task, and the other companies are also very busy.

There were two artillery companies equipped with Type 83 152mm self-propelled howitzers and Type 89 multiple rocket launchers, which formed a horn on the left and right sides of the Red Army's position.

Both types of artillery are based on armored vehicles and do not require finding a gun array like towed artillery.

As long as the Seventh Company sent intelligence on the Blue Army's frontline positions, the two artillery companies could stop on the spot at any time and quickly provide artillery support covering the entire battlefield.

After the battle, you don’t have to worry about being counterattacked by the enemy, you can start the car and move immediately at any time.

He fights fast, runs even faster, and his body is very strong.

This is the advantage of a mechanized artillery company!

The mechanized forces are all equipped with armored tanks, which are basically the strongest among the ground forces. The only thing they fear is attacks from the sky.

Therefore, the remaining two companies of the Third Battalion were all mechanized artillery and air defense companies.

Although there is still a big gap compared to a missile company, the heavy infantry regiment at this level is not worthy of a missile company. Unless it is upgraded to a synthetic regiment in the future, it can be equipped with a missile company.

After all, the conventional regiment does not have the support of an information company and is unable to exert the power of the missile force at all.

However, a regiment can be equipped with two artillery and air defense companies, which can basically achieve air defense self-defense.

And they followed Chen Jun's suggestion in the meeting - the air defense force should follow the tank troops to prevent attacks by enemy armed helicopters.

There are two air defense companies equipped with Type 88 twin-barrel 37mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and Type 92 wheeled 25mm dual-purpose anti-aircraft and flat-top machine gun vehicles. Two air defense platoons are assigned to each attacking tank company.

The only exception was the Blue Army position on Hill 034, which was only defended by an anti-aircraft platoon.

The remaining anti-aircraft platoon was sent to the regimental headquarters.

In the combat plan formulated by Chen Jun, the regiment headquarters was only an empty shell, and it was just a bait to attract the enemy to attack.

The reason for adding an anti-aircraft platoon is to make the command center look more realistic.

In this way, when Team A infiltrates to conduct reconnaissance, they will not be able to discover the tricks of the Red Army Command.

Among the Second Battalion, all the troops abandoned their vehicles and turned into infantry, except for the Seventh Steel Company, which followed the Tank Company to find advantageous positions to scout the Blue Army's positions.

The remaining three armored infantry companies belong to the second assault echelon and are temporarily on standby at our position.

Only the 10th Company served as a reserve force, staying in one place with the battalion headquarters to protect the battalion headquarters and provide mobile support when needed.

……

Ten minutes later.

The Red Army's four tank companies arrived at the front line and began to attack according to the formulated combat plan. Each tank platoon took turns to attack the Blue Army's positions.

It rushed forward with a rumbling sound and black smoke, but when it reached the foot of the mountain it turned around and went sideways instead of rushing to the top of the mountain.

The main purpose is to scare!
The air defense platoon that followed closely to take charge of the defense remembered all the details that Chen Jun had mentioned in the meeting, and temporarily hid in the woods and camouflaged themselves.

To prevent being discovered by the frontline scouts of the Blue Army, so as to be alert and change the combat plan, the two reconnaissance squads of the 7th Steel Company were fully dispatched and divided into three reconnaissance teams to go to the three Blue Army positions to collect highland intelligence.

The Red Army’s tank companies attacked in full force, causing a commotion below the three positions.

Some tanks even pulled back and stopped, adjusted the muzzle elevation to the maximum, and fired at the positions on the top of the mountain, launching heavy firepower attacks.

As a result, the three Blue Army positions responded to the attack in the same way.

That is, there is no response!
"What? There's no movement from the Blue Army's position? No reaction at all? This shouldn't be the case. There must be something wrong. Transfer me to Steel Company 7."

After receiving the report from the front line, Captain Wang felt that there was a big problem and could only confirm it through the 7th Steel Company.

As a result, the situation detected by the 7th Steel Company was the same as that reported back from the front line: no Blue Army was found on the position.

Captain Wang was a little confused and didn't know what tricks the Blue Army was playing.

In order to prevent it from being a trap set by the Blue Army, Captain Wang did not rush to issue an attack order immediately. To be on the safe side, he asked the 7th Steel Company to further confirm the situation.

After receiving the order, Gao Cheng immediately issued instructions for the two reconnaissance squads to continue their in-depth investigation.

This time he will personally go to the battlefield for close reconnaissance!

Then he returned the radio microphone to the communicator and said to Chen Jun in surprise: "Old Chen, it's amazing. You really guessed it right. There is really no one on the Blue Army's position. How did you know?"

"Yes, Deputy Captain Chen, how did you know that the Blue Army was playing the empty city strategy and there was no one on the position?" Instructor Hong Xingguo was also surprised.

"In fact, I made it clear during the group meeting yesterday. It was you who didn't expect it."

Chen Jun couldn't say that he knew it from watching the TV series, he had to have a reasonable explanation, so he pointed to the very quiet Hill 034 in the distance.

He smiled and said: “The Blue Army chose to perform in the mountains. The slope of each position is very high, and tanks can’t go up at all, which means they don’t want to fight a traditional offensive battle.

So, I made a guess yesterday that the Blues would definitely not have heavy armored troops.

Since they don't have heavy armored troops, they will definitely not fight us head-on, especially this kind of siege battle, which is even more impossible.

Our heavy artillery is not just for show. If they dare to defend, they will be sending themselves to casualties. The Blues are definitely not that stupid.

For them, the best way to fight is to take the initiative to give up all positions, and then use the vast jungle as a strategic depth and conduct jungle mobile warfare to consume our troops.

If nothing unexpected happens, when our troops reach the top of the hill, they will most likely be blocked by the Blue Army."

After hearing Chen Jun's inference, Hong Xingguo smiled and said, "Deputy Captain, you have fooled the Blue Army. If the Blue Army knew that we have a Zhuge Liang, I wonder how they would feel, haha."

"What else can I think about? I'll be so angry... I'll be so angry that I'll go crazy, haha." Gao Cheng laughed.

Just as Chen Jun and the other two were in a good mood and chatting happily, Shi Jin, as the platoon leader, personally went into battle, bringing several elite players including Wu Liuyi and Chengcai, and had already reached Ground 034 from the side.

Through observation, it was found that there was indeed no trace of the Blue Army's presence on the Blue Army's position.

"Calling the steel plant, this is Shi Jin. I have led the team to Hill 034. No Blue Army was found. I repeat, no Blue Army was found. The position is empty. Over." Shi Jin reported via radio.

"Got it. Stay alert. Be careful of the Blue Army's sneak attack. Stay where you are."

Gao Cheng received the exact information from the reconnaissance squad and immediately switched the communication to the regiment headquarters, informing the regiment command of the confirmed news.

"Report to the commander, comrade, news has come from the 7th Steel Company confirming that there are no blue troops in the position." The signalman immediately reported the news to Commander Wang.

"Okay, you're playing the empty city trick with me? Then I won't be polite."

Captain Wang snorted coldly and ordered in a cold voice: "Notify them immediately and order the 6th, 8th and 9th companies of the 2nd Battalion to launch an attack on the three high grounds of the Blue Army at the same time in two minutes. After taking the high ground, stay where you are and wait for new orders.

Order the two artillery battalions of the Third Battalion to enter combat status and be ready to provide fire support at any time..."

Even after confirming that the Blue Army's position was undefended, Captain Wang did not seek quick success and advance rashly. After his troops captured the high ground, they continued to advance deep into the Blue Army's territory.

Instead, they followed Chen Jun's suggestion of taking steady steps and setting up defensive positions on their respective high ground.

"Attention, all platoons. In two minutes, launch a full-speed attack in the direction of 453. Seize Hill 034 in the Blue Army's defense zone as quickly as possible and establish defensive fortifications to control the position. Wait for follow-up orders."

"Attention all units, attack in two minutes, target, Blue Army defense zone 053 high ground..."

"Attention, all classes..."

The three armored infantry companies that received the regiment's order began to issue attack orders to their respective units, and the attack horn was officially sounded.

The armored infantrymen, who had been holding back their energy, were not affected at all even without armored vehicles.

Rushing towards the Blue Army’s position!

Among them, the Sixth Company, which attacked Hill 034, had the most fierce offensive momentum, and all the soldiers in the company were running as fast as they could.

The speed of attacking the hilltop position was very fast, and they all had the spirit of brave martyrs who were not afraid of death.

Their company commander also had a tough fighting style. He did not hide in the rear position and wait for the soldiers to charge, but went up after completely taking the position.

Instead, he chose to follow behind the team and attack Hill 034 with the soldiers.

"You said, there's no one up here, so why do the Sixth Company have to fight so hard? They're not afraid of spraining their ankles when climbing the mountain so fast."

Chengcai, who had already reached the top of the high ground, felt very uncomfortable watching the Sixth Company rushing up.

"Maybe the regiment didn't tell them that the Blue Army wasn't seen on the high ground. But don't forget what the deputy company commander said. The Blue Army will play dirty tricks on us. The absence of the Blue Army here doesn't mean that the Blue Army won't launch a sneak attack. We still have to be careful."

Shi Jin was still steady and made arrangements in advance for prevention: "Chengcai, you are good at observation. You go to the back mountain to be on guard now."

"Ok."

Chengcai curled his lips and didn't feel any danger, but he obeyed Shi Jin's order, picked up the sniper rifle and ran to the back of the high ground.

……

In ancient times, the emperor led the army to war in person to boost morale.

It was because of the personal leadership of the company commander that the morale of the soldiers of the Sixth Company was soaring, and it became the first of the three companies to reach the high ground.

Because the prior notice did not mention the position and there was no Blue Army.

During the charge, the soldiers of the Sixth Company of Great Merit had already prepared for a big battle with the Blue Army, and even if they were eliminated, they would drag the Blue Army down with them.

When we got to the high ground, we were dumbfounded!

There were no Blue Army troops on Hill 034, not even any fortifications or trenches could be seen.

If we hadn't already reached the top of the high ground, and could see the vast jungle behind us, and if we hadn't had our own man Shi Jin come up to say hello,

They all thought they had rushed to the wrong high ground.

"Report to the battalion commander, our company has taken control of Hill 034 and has not found the Blue Army." The commander of the Sixth Company immediately reported the situation to the Second Battalion Headquarters.

"Received. Stay put and wait for orders."

The Second Battalion Commander already knew about this situation and calmly gave orders to the Sixth Company Commander.
