Chapter 167: Blue Army defeated? Chen Jun went to "purchase goods"? (Continued 5000 chapters)
8 o'clock in the evening.
Yuan Lang, who had stayed in the squadron tent the entire afternoon and no one knew what he was up to, finally walked out of the tent slowly.
He ordered Qi Huan, who was sitting under a tree a few steps away and cleaning his gun, "It's almost time, let's start."
"Okay, Captain."
Qi Huan had been holding it in for the entire afternoon and was almost going to go and bully Pumpkin. He excitedly leaped to the open space on the left and shouted orders at the top of his voice.
"Everyone gather~"
The old A members of the third squadron, who were resting after dinner, reacted quickly and rushed out of their tents, and lined up in the open space in a blink of an eye.
There are three squadrons in Battalion A, each squadron has three teams, and each team has three classes.
The squadron that Yuan Lang is in charge of is the third squadron. Although it is ranked at the end of Team A, its strength is the strongest among the three squadrons.
Because the establishment is not full yet, and four more were eliminated during the operation in the morning.
There are only about eighty people left in the third squadron.
Even though there are only about eighty people, you should know that in the previous four exercises against heavy armored regiments, the number of people eliminated by them was no less than a thousand.
On average, more than ten people were eliminated, and the most fighters even had over thirty eliminated.
What a bunch of monsters!
"Look to the right, look forward, stand at attention~"
Qi Huan organized the team and turned to Yuan Lang to report: "Report to the captain, the third squadron has been assembled. Please give your instructions!"
"Enter the queue."
Yuan Lang said.
"Yes~"
Qi Huan raised his hand to salute, turned around, and walked to the front of the line.
"Check the weapons and equipment."
Yuan Lang came to the front of the team and gave inspection instructions first.
All the old A members of the Third Squadron acted together, checking the weapons, ammunition, night vision goggles, etc. they carried with them. For a while, there was a rustling sound.
In less than thirty seconds, all the old A's completed the inspection and returned to the state of standing at attention with guns behind their backs.
"Take a break!"
Yuan Lang gave the order to line up, and then arranged: "I will personally lead the team tonight, and now I will start to arrange specific tasks for each class.
Squad One and Squad Two are the first action team, responsible for attacking Hill 033, and the first team leader is in charge of leading the team.
Squads three and four are the third action team, responsible for attacking Hill 035. Qi Huan, you will be in charge of leading the team.
Squads 034 and are the second action team, responsible for attacking Hill , and the second squad leader is in charge of leading the team.
The three squads of the third team are the fourth action team, and I will be in charge of the command. Please note, only attack and harass, do not force an attack, to create pressure on them.
If there are any other changes, please follow my instructions on site. Do you understand?"
Yuan Lang's arrangement was clear and concise. The soldiers heard it very clearly and answered in unison: "I understand."
"Very good, let's get started, let's go"
Yuan Lang is decisive and quick in his work. He starts to act as soon as he assigns the tasks.
This is the first time that the entire Third Squadron has gone into battle since the confrontation with the 702nd Regiment. This shows that the game Yuan Lang is playing tonight will definitely not be a small one.
They traveled at a forced march, walking through the dense woods under the stars and the moon.
Old A is not fast!
However, there was no time limit for this action, and everything was within Yuan Lang's calculations, so there was no requirement to run.
After all, there will be a big operation coming up, and there is no need to waste too much energy on the road.
Nearly two hours later.
It was just after ten o'clock in the evening when the Third Squadron of the Blue Army arrived at 500 meters away from the target. They were divided into three action teams according to the task arrangements and each rushed towards their own target.
Ten fifteen.
The three Blue Army action groups all arrived at their locations, and the Red Army controlled positions, with faint lights of fire in the darkness, appeared more than a hundred meters away from the other action groups.
The reason why the distance was shortened to about 100 meters was mainly because of the advantage of night vision goggles equipment.
The Red Army could not see anything in the dark, while the Blue Army had night vision goggles that allowed them to see at night as clearly as in the day. The closer distance increased accuracy and allowed them to better identify the Red Army soldiers, further expanding the Blue Army's advantage.
"Reporting to the squadron, the first action team has arrived at the location."
"Reporting to the squadron, the second action team has arrived at the location."
"Including the squadron, the third action team has arrived at the location."
The three Blue Army action teams arrived at the location, and the leaders reported to Yuan Lang one after another.
Yuan Lang raised his wrist to check the time, then looked up at the bright moon in the sky, which was blocked by clouds, making the woods pitch black.
Knowing that the time was ripe, he decisively gave the order: "Begin the attack."
As Yuan Lang gave this order, the three Blue Army action teams launched attacks towards their respective targets under the cover of darkness.
"Da da da da..."
The three positions were filled with gunfire, and the darkness was shattered.
The Red Army stationed on the three heights had received Gao Cheng's friendly reminders even in the afternoon and were already sufficiently cautious.
However, some tasks must be done, and people must be arranged to stand guard on the positions. There is no way for everyone to hide and not show their heads.
So still in the Blues' late-night attack, many people were eliminated in the first wave.
"The Blue Army is attacking. Quick, take cover."
"It's so dark at night, how can they see?"
"How the hell can the Blues see us?"
……
The Red Army soldiers in the three positions were in chaos. They were stunned by the Blue Army's sudden attack and were filled with fear of the unknown for a moment.
Every position was in chaos, it was a mess.
In this era of underdeveloped information networks, soldiers do know about night vision equipment, but those are the "big guys" installed on the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicles.
All the components and batteries combined are larger than the quilt I pack.
Night vision goggles that can be used and carried by a single soldier are high-tech equipment born in the new era, and grassroots troops have never even heard of them.
All they knew were flashlights and torches.
Even a more advanced response method would only be to use flares to briefly find the target.
The Blue Army soldiers saw the night as bright as day, and could clearly find their positions and open fire in the pitch-dark night.
This was truly beyond the Red Army soldiers' comprehension, and they had no idea how to counter it.
Fortunately, the hard work during the day was not in vain. The trenches dug out were useful, allowing the Red Army soldiers to lie in the trenches and barely survive.
The company commanders of the 6th, 8th and 9th companies watched as the high ground they were defending was attacked, but they were powerless to fight back and could not even see where the enemy was. This fear of the unknown made them extremely panicked.
They could only ask for help from the battalion headquarters.
pity.
When they managed to report the approximate position of the Blue Army to the battalion headquarters through the muzzle flashes of the Blue Army's guns, and the battalion headquarters reported it to the regiment headquarters, the reply from the artillery company made the three company commanders very helpless.
The high ground where the three companies are now located was originally controlled by the Blue Army, and the Red Army’s artillery and tanks are all right in front of them.
After the Red Army occupied these high grounds, the Blue Army launched an attack on the high grounds in turn. Their position was on the reverse slope of the high grounds.
There is a high ground between it and the artillery company.
The most feared thing for artillery shells flying in a parabola is hitting targets on the reverse slope of a mountain.
Because the parabola of the artillery shell's flight is an arc, and the bulge of the mountain top is also an arc, the Blue Army's attack on the reverse slope is not within the range of artillery strike at all.
It was simply impossible for the three companies to counterattack the Blue Army through artillery fire.
This also highlights the strength of the Blues!
They simply gave up their own high ground and allowed the Red Army to take it without firing a single shot, in order to destroy the Red Army's artillery units.
Now the artillery units cannot cover the Blue Army, and the armored tanks cannot climb up the mountain.
The advantages of heavy armored troops were completely eliminated.
The Blue Army, which has lost the advantage of its heavy armored troops, can turn its disadvantage into advantage by giving up the high ground in advance and counterattack the Red Army by going up the reverse slope.
Anyway, the goal is to eliminate the Red Army's manpower, so the Blue Army is not at all panicked if the position is lost.
The Blue Army used a clever tactic to hold the Red Army on the high ground. They had learned a profound lesson in the morning and could not rush out to engage in close combat with the Blue Army.
The three Blue Army high grounds that had been successfully occupied could not be handed over to the Blue Army again. They could neither advance nor retreat.
There is nothing the regiment can do about this situation, and there is nothing the battalion can do about it either.
Fortunately, the Blue Army only attacked from a hundred meters away and had no momentum to storm the position. This allowed the three Red Army company commanders to breathe a sigh of relief despite their frustration.
Since we can't defeat the enemy in the middle of the night, we should just stay in the fortifications.
Just be a turtle and hold it in.
The original combat strategy was to advance step by step. As long as the Blue Army did not lose manpower, it would be better to feel aggrieved than being criticized by the regiment.
The commanders of the three companies all comforted themselves in this way and ordered their troops to behave like turtles.
I originally thought that I could just keep hiding like this and wait it out and things would pass. Once the Blue Army ran out of bullets, they would naturally withdraw.
The Blue Army always has problems with attacking in the blind spot of the artillery. We can hold a meeting in the regiment tomorrow to find a solution.
Just get through tonight!
However, although this idea is beautiful, the development of things is not as simple as they thought.
Yuan Lang himself took action. With his top combat IQ, how could he just let the Blue Army drag him down like that?
Having three action groups attack at the same time is just a warm-up exercise.
He also has combos and even a big move.
After the battle lasted for more than ten minutes, there was not much change on Hills 033 and 034.
The Blue Army continued to attack in the dark and kept changing positions quickly, making it difficult for the Red Army to figure out the Blue Army's specific location and unable to avoid it effectively.
Trench fortifications are not omnipotent, and they can be penetrated from certain angles.
The Red Army soldiers on the battlefield suffered terribly.
However, although the torture was very uncomfortable and people were killed occasionally, it was generally stable and nothing serious went wrong.
But there was a problem with Hill 035!
The Blue Army, which was originally attacking from a hundred meters away, saw that the Red Army was completely like a turtle and did not show up, so they continued to attack and got closer and closer as time went by.
In the past ten minutes, the distance has been shortened to fifty meters.
This distance is very delicate, because a grenade can be thrown over. Once the grenade rolls into the trench, the soldiers hiding in the trench will be doomed.
Although the Blues' long-range shots were not very accurate, not many grenades fell into the trenches.
The probability of the bomb hitting a Red Army soldier is even lower.
However, the Blue Army's momentum did not stop. It continued to move forward relying on its huge advantage and continued to approach the position of the Ninth Company.
It's impossible to accurately hit the target at a distance of fifty meters, but once it gets closer to thirty meters, or even twenty meters...
Now the ninth company commander is in a bit of a state of unbearable pain!
They had no choice but to lose face and call for emergency help from the battalion headquarters, requesting the battalion headquarters to send troops to provide quick support to Hill 035, otherwise the 035th Company would most likely lose Hill .
When the battalion commander heard that the situation in the 9th Company had changed, his expression suddenly became extremely serious.
The Ninth Company suffered heavy losses in the morning's defensive operations due to a wrong decision made by the company commander, and now only two platoons are left.
It was originally the weakest among the three companies.
The attacking Blue Army has high-tech equipment that allows them to see darkness as if it were daytime, and the individual combat effectiveness of their soldiers is much stronger.
If the Blue Army were allowed to rush to the high ground, wouldn't that be like a tiger among a flock of sheep?
The consequences will be disastrous!
The battalion commander was a little undecided for a moment. He was worried that the 9th Company would be wiped out, and he was also worried that the Blue Army was playing tricks and he would make another mistake.
I could only report to the regiment immediately and ask the regiment to make a decision.
When Captain Wang heard that the Blue Army had actually counterattacked the position at night, he thought that such a powerful armored infantry regiment with tanks and heavy artillery could not even hold a high ground.
If a position is lost, it is not just a matter of losing a position.
That's so embarrassing and shameful!
Captain Wang was so angry that his eyebrows stood up. Being a strong man, he would not tolerate such a thing happening, and he stated on the spot that the position must be defended.
"Captain, do you want to ask Chen Jun to come over and hold a meeting to discuss this?" the chief of staff said with a frown.
"It's too late." Captain Wang shook his head.
It would take at least half an hour to call Chen Jun to a meeting to discuss the matter. By then, the Blue Army had already rushed to the front and wiped out the entire Ninth Company.
Even if there was still time, Captain Wang would not be able to call Chen Jun over after notifying the Seventh Company.
Because tonight not only Yuan Lang will lead the team to attack personally, Shi Jin will also lead the reconnaissance squad to officially set out to find the Blue Army Command, and Chen Jun will also lead the team to launch the operation.
And it was a covert operation.
It was so secret that only Chen Jun and the tactical platoon and firepower platoon he led knew what they were going to do specifically. Even the company commander Gao Cheng was confused.
Gao Cheng only knew that Chen Jun told him that he needed to go out to purchase goods tonight, and he didn't say anything else.
"Restocking?"
When Gao Cheng heard these two words, he was confused for a long time.
Even the company commander of the Seventh Company, Gao Cheng, didn't know what Chen Jun had taken the two platoons to do tonight, and how could the regiment commander possibly call those people to the regiment headquarters.
……
The regiment commander thought that time was too short and there was no time to call Chen Jun, and the chief of staff thought about it and confirmed that this was indeed the case.
Time is too urgent so we have to keep it simple!
Thinking of the crisis facing the 035th Company, Captain Wang decisively ordered: "Second Battalion Commander, I order you to immediately send the th Reserve Company to support the th Company. You must do everything you can to defend the position."
"Okay, Captain."
After receiving the order from the regiment commander, the second battalion commander no longer had any concerns.
He then issued an order for the 035th Company to rush to Hill .
When the Tenth Company received the order to support the Ninth Company, it immediately shouted like a chicken with its blood injected. In less than three minutes, it gathered all the troops and got on the vehicles and pulled out.
During the day, the other four companies of the Second Battalion were all involved in the battle, but the Tenth Company could only watch from behind as a reserve.
From the company commander to the soldiers of the Tenth Company.
I felt so uncomfortable inside, as if I was being scratched by ten thousand cats' claws.
I traveled hundreds of kilometers to come to this deserted temperate jungle, not to sit back and watch the show.
The Tenth Company also wanted to join in the battle and have a vigorous battle with the Blue Army.
Now they have finally received the combat order, and it is to support the 10th Company in the battle. They can be thrown into the battle immediately. How can the entire th Company not be excited?
It took only a few minutes for the car to reach the 035 high ground, as the armored vehicles had no way of climbing up the mountain.
The tenth company commander gave the order decisively!
Everyone abandoned their cars and walked instead, climbing up the mountain from the side of Hill 035.
Why didn't they go straight up the mountain and join up with the Sixth Company guarding the mountain, but instead took a detour to the side and enter the battlefield from one side?
This is the decision made by the captain of the tenth company!
The captain of the Tenth Company thought deeply on the way. It was completely meaningless to meet up with the Ninth Company from the front. He would just be a coward and get beaten together.
With the Blue Army's equipment advantage that allows them to see night as day, a head-on battle would simply be a suicide mission.
No matter how many people there are, it is useless if you can't see the enemy.
The best way is to cut in from the side, turn passivity into initiative, focus on attacking the high ground, and catch the unprepared Blue Army on the side by surprise.
The captain of the tenth company did not follow the rules and soon produced miraculous results.
Suddenly, an entire company rushed out from the side, catching Qi Huan, who was leading the attack on the high ground, off guard. Two Blue Army soldiers were killed in an instant.
but.
He quickly received Yuan Lang's instructions, and the pressure on his face turned into a smirk.
The order to retreat was immediately issued.
The 9th Company lost an entire platoon before they killed one Blue Army soldier, but he killed two as soon as he came on the field. The captain of the 10th Company was in high spirits for a while.
Seeing that the Blues were defeated by their own tactics, they had become a stray dog that could only run away.
The Tenth Company and its captain, who were in the ascendant, would not miss this good opportunity to give the Blues a hard time and make them pay a heavy price.
"Chase them, chase them, don't let them get away, kill them all."
"Quick, flare, fire the flare for me."
As the captain of the tenth company stood up and gave two orders, the soldiers of the tenth company, who had been holding back their energy throughout the day, shouted and chased after the blue army.
The soldiers of the Ninth Company on the battlefield were suppressed and beaten all night long, and they were extremely embarrassed during the day.
They are angrier than anyone else and have become powder kegs.
Seeing the soldiers of the Tenth Company rushing forward, the soldiers of the Ninth Company were all affected, and the powder keg in their hearts was ignited.
I don’t know who took the lead in rushing out, but everyone followed suit.
The captain of the ninth company, who had suffered a great loss during the day, remembered the stern order given by the regiment commander and wanted to stop his soldiers from chasing the Blue Army.
But under this herd effect, people's brains are no longer clear and are completely controlled by adrenaline.
No matter how loudly the ninth company commander shouted, his orders were ineffective under the cover of the fierce gunfire, and he could not call back even one person.
