Chapter 172: I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat!
Second day of mountain exercises.

After Yuan Lang went to the headquarters late last night and discussed with the Blue Army command, including the railway, the Blue Army determined new tactics and playing style.

Instead of copying the tactics from the first four confrontation exercises, a new set of tactics was redesigned.

New tactics against the 702nd Regiment!
It can make the arrogant Blue Army humble themselves and truly regard the 702nd Regiment as an opponent, rather than lump it together with the previous heavy armored regiment.

In fact, from this point of view alone, the 702nd Regiment of the Red Army has already won the first victory.

The Blues took a correct attitude and treated the 702 as an opponent rather than a toy that could be manipulated at will, and they re-developed a new tactical style of play.

Be prepared to pull out some real big moves on this second day of the exercise.

Let the Red Army know how powerful the Blue Army is.

Unfortunately.

The Red Army also held a meeting overnight last night. Based on the tactical thinking of Chen Jun, the nemesis of the Blue Army, they also formulated a new set of tactics against the Blue Army.

We are also prepared to make the Blue Army pay a greater price on the second day of this exercise.

Let the Blues bleed hard!!
Both sides had made careful deployments and were ready to launch their ultimate moves on the second day. It was destined that the second day would become a turning point in the final outcome of the exercise.

8: am.

The Red Army, with the aim of seizing the Blue Army's position, took the lead in launching the second wave of offensive against the Blue Army.

Three tank companies, fully fueled and fully ammunition, passed through the foot of the mountain of positions 033, 034 and 035 and headed straight for the Blue Army positions in the rear.

The artillery units followed closely behind the tank units for protection as previously arranged.

Prevent sneak attacks from armed helicopters.

The tanks crossed the front line and arrived at the rear position, and immediately formed an assault formation, attacking the Blue Army's heights, regardless of whether there were Blue Army troops there or not.

First, heavy artillery fire covered the area, then armored tanks charged, and finally armored infantry occupied it.

It's a one-stop service for the heavy armored forces!

The Red Army's assault tanks were attacking in the front, and the three companies guarding the three heights also wanted to come out and do something.

Thinking that the tank troops had all gone out and started to attack the Blue Army's second-level position, the Blue Army should not still be guarding in the woods behind.

Prepare to build various traps and obstacles within fifty meters in front of the position to form an interception zone, increasing the difficulty for the Blue Army to rush up.

To prevent the problem of the Ninth Company being pressed closer by the Blue Army last night and the trenches being unable to defend against grenades from happening again.

The idea was good and it wasn't disobedience.

As a result, when the Red Army soldiers on the three positions came out of the trenches, carrying shovels and pickaxes, they started working in front of the positions.

"Clap clap clap..."

Gunshots rang out in the woods again, and the Blue Army's ghostly attack came again.

The Red Army soldiers who came out to work were immediately in trouble. Even if they retreated quickly, the three companies suffered certain losses, and the sixth company had the most losses, with five people eliminated.

Fortunately, there are not many blue soldiers in the woods, otherwise, with their accurate shooting skills, those who go out would probably be killed.

"Fuck, these Blues are so disgusting."

The Sixth Company Commander was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, but he had no other options.

The regiment forbade entering the woods and fighting the Blue Army, even though they knew that the number of Blue Army soldiers in the woods was small and they were no match for the enemy in long-range gun battles.

The artillery units could not reach these blind spots, and the tanks had no way of rushing into the woods.

No solution! !
Unless the sniper squad of the 7th Steel Company is transferred over to help kill the blue troops in the woods, this is the only effective target at present.

However, the task of the 7th Steel Company was even more arduous, and they had no time to take care of these trivial matters.

Faced with the Blue Army's sticky harassment, which was like a dog-skin plaster, the commander of the Sixth Company and the acting commanders of the Eighth and Ninth Companies had to give up the idea of ​​building a defense in front of the formation.

Continue to stay in your position obediently.

After the tanks and artillery units completed the clearing of the Blue Army's second-level positions, they continued to do their work and guard the second-level positions behind.

Anyway, the Blue Army was trapped from the front and back by the Red Army and dared only stay in the woods and did not dare to come out, so they did not pose much threat to the position.

In the rear, the red and blue sides were playing tricks across their positions, while the assault tanks and artillery units in the front took turns to fight, having a great time.

Various firepower was directed at the position, bringing the advantage to the limit.

Armored infantry will be dispatched to occupy the mountaintop only after receiving a definitive reply that the destruction of the mountaintop position has reached more than 80 percent.

The number of armored infantrymen left was very small, with only two and a half left out of the four companies.

You must and can only use it sparingly!

However, just when the attack on the tanks was in full swing, three Blue Army armed helicopters fully loaded with weapons suddenly jumped out from behind the 022 position.

Just like that, he appeared on the top of the mountain.

All of them are our army’s most advanced and most combat-capable Z-9W armed helicopters.

The ability to approach so quickly and silently proves that these helicopters are flying at ultra-low altitudes, even in the middle of a valley between two mountains.

This not only allows it to pass through the mountain and block the sound of a flying helicopter, but also allows it to avoid radar detection.

of course.

Ultra-low altitude flying is dangerous!

Not only do you have to watch out for turbulence between valleys, which can easily cause the helicopter to lose control, but the densely packed treetops are only a few meters apart.

Just hanging on a tree could cause the helicopter to lose control.

The only possible result is that the plane will be destroyed and everyone will die!

The ability to fly at ultra-low altitude is enough to prove how elite the Blue Army Aviation Corps is.

In addition, tanks and artillery were constantly bombarding, and the rumbling sound of the artillery fire echoed throughout the mountain area, also blocking out some of the sound of the helicopter rotors vibrating the air.

The Blue Army's armed helicopters have excellent technology and are fully prepared.

As soon as it emerged from the rear of the position, the fire control system locked onto the target under Hill 022, and the AKD-8 air-to-ground anti-tank missile it was carrying flew straight towards the target.

Due to the factors of the combat scenario, the top of the tank is destined to be very fragile.

Even a main battle tank equipped with reactive armor would have almost no defense against attacks from the sky, and would be destroyed if hit.

However, the attack of these three armed helicopters did not lock onto the Red Army tanks in front.

Instead, they stepped over the Red Army tanks and reached the woods behind.

The three armed helicopters fired very accurately, destroying all three tracked self-propelled anti-aircraft guns of the anti-aircraft platoon hidden in the woods behind the tanks.

The Red Army's anti-aircraft platoon was so well concealed that it was detected by the Blue Army. They must have used infrared scanning.

Except for the 7th Steel Company, other companies of the 702nd Regiment did not have the camouflage cloth designed by Chen Jun, and their defense capabilities against infrared were actually very average.

It’s not that Chen Jun doesn’t want to popularize his camouflage cloth, but the procedure for popularizing military equipment is very complicated.

It's fine for the 7th Steel Company to use it themselves, but it would be a different story if the whole regiment used it.

First comes the design, then the verification, and in between it has to go through experiments and repeated inspections by the troops before it can finally be confirmed for widespread deployment.

It's just like when you use it yourself, as long as it works well, you don't have to worry about hygiene standards or anything like that.

But if you give it to others, it’s completely different.

Not to mention that camouflage cloth still has many shortcomings. Once it becomes popularized, every company will have to teach and make corresponding improvements to these shortcomings.

Whether it is Chen Jun or the 7th Steel Company, they have been extremely busy every day over the past year or so, and even the rest period was cancelled.

Where is the time to do this kind of thing?

The fully mechanized air defense company drove all the way over, stopped at the edge of the woods, covered the vehicle with camouflage cloth, and also used some vegetation and branches for assistance.

But the engine temperature is so high that it should not be too conspicuous in front of the thermal imaging.

In addition to helicopter reconnaissance, the Blue Army's ground forces must have also infiltrated, but Old A's camouflage ability is too strong and the Red Army cannot detect them.

Even if they could hide from the helicopters in the sky, they could not escape the reconnaissance on the ground. Otherwise, the helicopter formation would not have been so accurate in attacking the tank company 2, which was only protected by an anti-aircraft platoon.

Instead of the other two attack points, there was a tank company protected by two anti-aircraft platoons.

The anti-aircraft platoon on Hill 022 was killed instantly. Without the protection of the air defense forces, the tank company became a lamb to be slaughtered in front of the armed helicopters.

The only thing we could do was to retreat quickly and retreat back to the original blue army's first-line position.

Every second you stay is dangerous.

The regiment command later received a report that the Second Company had been attacked. Contrary to his usual behavior, Captain Wang was not angry at all. Instead, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Deputy Captain Chen, you really are Zhuge Liang, you are so smart. You said last night that the Blue Army would make a big move today and send armed helicopters to attack the tank company. I didn't expect them to really come."

Captain Wang was truly convinced by Chen Jun, completely convinced.

Then he said with regret: "The only regret is that I didn't expect that they would attack the anti-aircraft vehicle first, and their disguise was accurately seen through.

Now that the Second Company has lost its anti-aircraft fire protection, it will be difficult to capture Hill 022.

How about this, we take a tank platoon from the first and third tank companies to support the second company? Or, we can transfer the anti-aircraft platoon from the headquarters? "

The Blue Army's tactics predicted by Chen Jun last night should be to use the high mobility of armed helicopters to use rapid blitzkrieg to consume the tank company.

Or you can use a feint attack to take the target by making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

Chen Jun has thought about it carefully enough, but the exercise battle has completely exceeded the original plot. Everything depends on Chen Jun's personal ability.

The Blue Army used the tactic of picking on the weak and first destroyed the anti-aircraft platoon of the second company.

It’s really a good move!
"Captain, dispatching air defense platoons from other areas to support the Second Company can indeed effectively alleviate the situation, but this is ultimately a temporary solution. No matter which of the two firepower platoons of the First and Third Companies is dismantled, it will become the next Second Company. A single air defense platoon cannot defend against the Blue Army at all."

Chen Jun came to the regiment headquarters early in the morning and had been studying the situation for the whole morning. Based on his personal understanding, he was not optimistic about the way Captain Wang handled the situation.

"The Blue Army's reconnaissance capability is too strong. The anti-aircraft platoon that camouflaged itself in advance is useless in front of them. It is really troublesome to deal with them. Fortunately, Deputy Company Commander Chen reminded us early, otherwise our regiment headquarters would have been exposed and destroyed long ago." The chief of staff said thankfully.

Those present here are all high-ranking members of the regiment, and they all have the real stuff in their heads.

The Blue Army obviously has such strong reconnaissance capabilities, but it has not yet attacked the empty shell of the Red Army headquarters. Anyone can tell that the Blue Army has already seen the clues.

but.

Even if the Blue Army knew that the Red Army headquarters was empty, it would not pose any threat.

The next thing that needs to be paid attention to is to move the regiment headquarters more covertly so as not to be discovered by the all-pervasive Blue Army reconnaissance.

"The Blue Army's armed helicopters are our nemesis. How can we solve this big problem? We must come up with a plan immediately." Captain Wang said seriously.

"I think……"

Chen Jun frowned and analyzed: "The Blue Army's offensive behavior this time is not as simple as it seems. It is likely that they are playing some tricks.

The Blues' tactics are never conventional, and we cannot solve the problem with normal thinking.

It is indeed a good idea to prioritize destroying our regiment's air defense, but nothing can be done over and over again. A good move will turn into a bad one if used too much.

The Blues couldn't possibly not know this, and it's even more impossible for them to keep targeting our air defense.

I suspect that the Blue Army wants to use this as a disguise to confuse us by attacking the air defense forces, so as to achieve their real goal.

What is more important than consuming our living units? The answer is obvious. "

Chen Jun's analysis was very clear. Captain Wang blurted out, "The headquarters, our headquarters, this is their real target."

"correct."

The chief of staff also clapped his hands and said with sudden realization: "The headquarters is the key. We have sent out a sharp reconnaissance squad to find the Blue Army's headquarters. The Blue Army must be eager to find us now.

The Blue Army's armed helicopter destroyed the anti-aircraft platoon and then disappeared behind the high ground without pursuing our retreating tank company.

This abnormal behavior further supports Deputy Company Commander Chen’s judgment.”

As expected of the regiment's chief think tank and chief of staff, he has some skills. After such an analysis, it has been basically confirmed.

The Blues have other intentions!!

"but……"

The chief of staff finished his introduction and then continued, "What does using armed helicopters to attack the air defense platoon have to do with finding our headquarters? The reason why they did this is really beyond my comprehension."

The two statements sound incoherent and are indeed difficult to understand.

"Our losses have exceeded 20%. The Blue Army has an advantage in ground forces and air forces. It is not difficult to reach 50%. The only point we can hold on to is to keep the command center." Captain Wang said in a very heavy tone.

It is too difficult for heavy armored troops to fight in the mountains, so the army group is deliberately weakening the heavy armored troops.

If it is placed in a plain or plateau area, even a hilly area, the heavy armored troops and tank groups will lead the way, and the heavy artillery will wash the ground, and it will be able to push forward in a few waves.

It would never be like it is now, being so troubled by the Blues.

Although Captain Wang could understand the group army's leadership, this was to pave the way for the subsequent military reforms, and they wanted to beat everyone up first to make them submit, so that they wouldn't cause trouble later.

However, such a big weakening buff really made Captain Wang unhappy.

The atmosphere of the meeting in the entire tent became exceptionally quiet and depressing for a moment, as no one could find the reason why the Blues did this.

The Second Tank Company had no anti-aircraft protection, so it was hiding in the back and dared not move forward.

The other tank companies 1 and 3 were also worried that the Blue Army helicopters would suddenly appear and launch a sneak attack, and they had not received any follow-up orders from the regiment.

Similarly, they can only temporarily give up the attack and retreat into a state of high defense.

The machine guns on all the tanks were mounted and the anti-aircraft firepower of the two platoons was activated, with all the thick black tubes pointed toward the sky.

The entire Red Army was down, waiting for the regiment's response.

A cigarette's worth of time passed...

"Do you think it's possible..."

Combining the current level of technology, Chen Jun thought that the Blue Army's helicopters could fly to an altitude of several thousand meters, exceeding the warning altitude of the police communications radar.

This means that the Blue Army’s command center is most likely right above the Red Army’s head.

In addition to the information revealed in the original plot, the Blue Army Command has a data terminal and a complete electronic reconnaissance system built on the helicopter.

That means there is a high probability that the Blue Army has completely monitored all communications of the Red Army.

Assuming that the Blue Army was now monitoring the Red Army's communications, it would make sense for them to send helicopters to attack the anti-aircraft platoon but not to attack the tank company.

They were just waiting for specific information to determine which battalion headquarters the command was currently located in.

Then a thunder strike will be launched.

After confirming the reason why the Blue Army did this, Chen Jun immediately expressed his guess in a relatively reasonable way under everyone's expectant gaze.

"The Blues have a lot of high-tech equipment, including advanced monitoring equipment.

Although our communications are encrypted, encryption is not absolutely secure. Once we have more advanced electronic communication technology, cracking can be done in minutes.

And because our headquarters was constantly moving, our communications radios were also constantly moving.

When each battalion conveyed orders to the regiment headquarters, they would use the signalmen to convey the orders orally. The headquarters' radio would not be turned on until the order was issued.

Since the Blue Army cannot lock onto the location of the regimental command radio station, there is no way for them to determine the location of our headquarters.

Therefore, I have sufficient reason to suspect that the Blue Army's armed helicopters attacked the air defense company.

The purpose was to force our Red Army Command to issue a series of new tasks and then locate the radio station through the command of the command.

At that time, they will send out armed helicopters to accurately destroy our headquarters.

If their plan succeeds, we will lose. Fortunately, the command center has not issued any orders yet, so we still have room to turn around."

Chen Jun's analysis was to the point and revealed the truth about the Blues.

Everyone present heard this...

Thinking of the Blues' trick, I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat!
