第181章 钢7连VS老A，正面对刚！（2合1，6000字大章）
Chapter 181: Steel 6000th Company vs. Old A, head-on confrontation! (Two chapters in one, words)
Shi Jin made a quick judgment based on his personal experience. They had already entered the rear area of the Blue Army, so it was normal that the alert level was higher than that of the periphery.
The helicopter flying towards this side at a low altitude is most likely just on a patrol mission.
I didn't come here specifically to investigate.
Shi Jin had very little time to think, but the helicopter moved very quickly, and in just a few dozen seconds, the distance was less than one kilometer.
"Stop advancing, immediately find favorable terrain, and deploy anti-infrared camouflage." Shi Jin gave the order decisively.
Under Shi Jin's command, the entire class immediately stopped moving forward and started operating quickly, quickly completing the anti-infrared operation that they had practiced well.
They all hid under the camouflage cloth and entered the highest level of concealment.
"Beep beep..."
The helicopter arrived soon.
Shi Jin's judgment was very timely and accurate. The helicopter was indeed scanning with infrared detection, and if there was no camouflage cloth, everything would be exposed.
The anti-infrared camouflage cloth developed by Chen Jun was tested for the first time in a formal exercise.
Although Shi Jin and others were very nervous, it was the first time they encountered a helicopter in a confrontation, and they were not sure whether they could block the helicopter's scan.
No one spoke loudly, not even daring to breathe.
The final effect was surprisingly good!
The helicopter flew over slowly from a distance, and just happened to fly over the heads of the spearhead squad, without noticing the Red Army squad hidden below.
There was not even a second of excessive pause, proving that no abnormalities were noticed during the entire process.
Shi Jin used his personal experience and ability to successfully resolve a huge crisis, indicating that he has become a qualified platoon leader.
When the sound of the helicopter gradually faded away, the nervous crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It was so scary, luckily the platoon leader reacted quickly."
"The Blue Army is really a nouveau riche. Not only do they use such advanced equipment, but they also patrol using helicopters. We were almost defeated by them."
"If it can be exposed, I will definitely give it a shot and let it know what a personal missile is."
"It would be awesome if we had a helicopter someday."
……
After overcoming the crisis, everyone was in a good mood and couldn't help but discuss with each other.
"We walked more than 30 kilometers ahead and didn't see any helicopter patrols along the way, but they appeared here. What does this mean?"
Based on his experience, Shi Jin thought of a very likely possibility and asked everyone with joy in his eyes.
"What does it represent?" Gan Xiaoning asked impatiently.
"This means we are close to our target. Only high-value targets like the Blue Army Headquarters will have helicopters patrolling and guarding around the clock. Maybe the Blue Army headquarters is not far ahead."
Shi Jin expressed his own inference, which immediately aroused the emotions of everyone present.
Victory is at hand...
Wu Liuyi, Chengcai, Gan Xiaoning and everyone else had excitement shining in their eyes, and the excitement began to stimulate every cell in their bodies.
All the fatigue and exhaustion brought by the continuous journey completely disappeared at this moment.
"Let's go, let's get going."
Bai Tiejun, who had been hiding behind, became more active than anyone else at this time. He patted the dirt under his butt and walked forward quickly.
"Go, follow."
Shi Jin immediately gave the order and the whole class followed.
Wu Liuyi and Chengcai continued to explore the way ahead, and Shi Jin led the 2+N formation with his headquarters following behind, and continued to move forward for half an hour.
During this period, they encountered another helicopter patrol, but they still managed to escape it without any danger.
The Blue Army's high-density helicopter patrols and strict security also made the spearhead squad feel pressured, and they acted more cautiously.
No matter how anxious you are inside, you have to hold back and maintain a steady rhythm.
With the whole class on high alert and cautious, the spearhead squad finally found a new camp after more than half an hour.
This campsite is obviously different!
It was already past seven o'clock, the sun had disappeared behind the distant western hills, and the sky had become completely dark.
The camp in front of us was not brightly lit, but lights could be seen everywhere.
Obviously there is a large power generation facility.
It can be clearly seen from the light tubes in the camp that this camp covers a very large and flat area, more than twice as large as the Red Army headquarters.
You can clearly see a dozen helicopters parked in an orderly manner on the flat open space on the left.
On the right are two rows of tents of different sizes, as well as various vehicles, including a large number of tanker trucks, maintenance and support vehicles, etc.
There were also a large number of people moving back and forth, at least a few hundred people.
Some were refueling, some were checking, some were loading ammunition...
And so on to do various tasks!
It can be seen that the ground work of helicopters is several times more complicated than the tank logistics of the heavy armored regiment, and it simply cannot be done without enough people.
At this time, the fighting on the front line was still very fierce, and the red and blue sides were still fighting in various ways.
The Blue Army Aviation Brigade was the main attacker, with various helicopters constantly taking off and landing. It could be said that this was the busiest time in the past two days.
In addition, they probably didn't expect the 702nd Regiment to be so strong, and there were actually troops sneaking in here.
Therefore, there were almost no sentries on the periphery, only a few sentries standing guard at fixed locations, and two teams of mobile sentries.
Wu Liuyi and Chengcai reached 50 meters away, and no one in the camp noticed it at all.
Still following the routine and completing the work at hand.
The two continued to observe for more than ten minutes, collecting the basic information of the Blue Army camp, and did not see anything special.
Wu Liuyi left Chengcai behind to continue observing, while he returned to the main force to report.
After listening to Wu Liuyi's detailed report, Shi Jin had a general understanding of the Blue Army camp ahead, and combined it with the known situation of the Blue Army.
He said with certainty: "The Blue Army camp ahead should be the Blue Army's aviation brigade.
But it is hard to say whether this is where the Blue Army’s headquarters is located. Without seeing the Blue Army’s commander-in-chief in person, it is impossible to report on the radio.
We only have one chance to report, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes."
If you turn on the radio to report, you will be discovered by the Blue Army. It takes no more than five minutes for the Blue Army to confirm the position and launch an attack.
No matter how powerful the spearhead squad is, they can never escape the pursuit of armed helicopters.
Shi Jin's caution is very necessary.
But Wu Liuyi had a different opinion, thinking from his perspective, he said: "The Blue Army's helicopters have been flying for an entire afternoon, and with so many helicopters bombing us, our regiment's current situation must be very bad.
Our command center might even be gone, and the confrontation exercise might end at any time.
We have to speed up. The sooner we get the information back, the better our chances of success. If we get it back later, it might be too late."
Wu Liuyi’s analysis is also correct.
The spearhead squad has been out alone for a day. During this period, they have never contacted the regiment or company, and no one else can contact them.
We have no idea what happened to the 702nd Regiment and can only make inferences based on the existing situation.
Assuming that the 702nd Regiment is about to collapse and is waiting for the situation of the Blue Army Headquarters of the spearhead squad, it will indeed lead to a big mistake if it is too late.
"Yes, platoon leader, please contact them immediately."
Huang Tian was also impatient, and urged: "Didn't the deputy company commander say that if we find the Blue Army's aviation brigade camp, we can find the Blue Army headquarters.
And even if we take a step back, even if the Blue Army headquarters is not here.
As long as we can destroy the Blue Army's aviation brigade and leave them without helicopters to fight, our Red Army will immediately gain a great advantage."
The Blue Army’s main attack now is the armed helicopters, and Huang Tian’s angle is indeed correct.
The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the woman is reasonable.
All correct.
But there are mistakes in both.
"Liuyi, Huangtian, what you said makes sense, but don't forget that our mission this time is to find the Blue Army's headquarters, not to destroy the Blue Army's helicopter camp, no matter how valuable the helicopter camp is."
Shi Jin was not persuaded by the two men. He still insisted on completing whatever orders he received and absolutely followed orders.
Instead of relying on your own judgment when you are on the battlefield.
"If you want to know if he's inside, you have to find a way to get in."
Wu Liuyi was helpless and continued to argue: "There are hundreds of people in the Blue Army camp. Even if we are wearing the Blue Army's combat uniforms, we have no way to sneak in.
And if we are discovered, we might not even be able to pass on this information. If that happens, it is better to do something in advance."
There were hundreds of Blue Army soldiers standing there. Even if they lined up to be killed by the sharp knife squad, they would not have enough bullets.
"You can give me the radio, and I will stay here to guard it. If you all go in and lose it, I will pass the information back. Do you think... is this okay?"
Bai Tiejun, who had been silent all this time, seemed to be worried that he would be assigned a task, but now he stood up, contrary to his usual behavior.
"You really are a rat. You just crawl into any hole you can find, right?"
Wu Liuyi glared at Bai Tiejun unhappily. He could see through Bai Tiejun's plan at a glance. He really didn't want to take any risk at all.
"I still say the same thing..."
Shi Jin insisted on giving orders and said, "I am the platoon leader and I have the final say. Only after we confirm the Blue Army's general headquarters can we turn on the radio to report." Shi Jin had enough prestige and suppression power. Since he said so, no one could directly object.
But Wu Liuyi was still unwilling to give up. Since the front way was blocked, he decisively chose to go to the side and changed his mind and said, "Well, how about this, let's do as Bai Tiejun said.
Platoon leader, you and the others stay here and wait. I will take a few people to sneak in and look for the Blue Army headquarters.
If we find the Blue Army Headquarters, you will contact the company immediately. If we don’t find it and are exposed, you can still continue to perform the mission. "
"No."
Shi Jin still refused and explained: "The Blue Army is unaware of our existence, which is our advantage. Once they find out that we have reached the rear, they will definitely alert the Blue Army's headquarters.
Even if the Blue Army Command is here, as long as they are alerted, they will have enough time to evacuate before we launch an attack.
This place is too far away from our main force and the tanks can't get here at all.
The only means we have of attacking is heavy artillery, so we must buy enough time to lock the position of the heavy artillery.
The heavy artillery unit didn’t have enough time to react, and if they were exposed in advance, even if they found the headquarters, the mission would be difficult to succeed.”
Shi Jin's analysis was very clear. No matter how unwilling Wu Liuyi was, he had no choice but to give up when he thought about the difficulties he faced.
Even Wu Liuyi can't change Shi Jin, let alone others.
We can only go by what Shi Jin said.
Continue to hide around this camp and try to observe from the outside without being exposed to determine whether the Blue Army's headquarters is here.
However, Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi were so focused on the mission that they forgot a very fatal detail.
No one else present thought about it in this way.
That means the sharp reconnaissance squad has infiltrated and has walked more than 30 kilometers.
Even if we deduct the detour they had to take, the straight-line distance between their current location and the battle line between the two sides is more than 25 kilometers.
Even though the heavy artillery equipped by the 702nd Regiment's artillery company are all the latest mechanized heavy artillery of our army, they still have some distance to go in their maximum range.
Among them, the Type 83 152mm self-propelled howitzer has a maximum range of only 17.23 kilometers.
The Type 89 12mm 40-tube tracked rocket launcher, equipped with standard high-explosive rockets, has a maximum range of only kilometers.
There is still a long way to go!
This means that even if the spearhead group finally confirmed that the Blue Army’s headquarters was in this camp, the Red Army’s artillery shells would not be able to reach it.
Tanks can't drive over from the mountains, and heavy artillery doesn't have that long a range.
It's all in vain!
It is no wonder that there is not a single old A in the Blue Army’s Aviation Brigade camp, there are not many ground sentries, and the defense is quite lax.
It seems that the Blue Army Headquarters had already figured it out.
Not only did they find all the loopholes of the Red Army, but they also calculated the Red Army's weapons and equipment exactly.
Even if there really is a powerful Red Army squad that infiltrates, we won't be able to do anything to them due to equipment limitations.
The crushing of technology, the crushing of equipment, the crushing of information...
The Blues are simply invincible!
Unless someone is cheating in this exercise, even if China's most powerful troops are brought in, they will still be beaten by the Blue Army in the current situation where the Blue Army has an overall advantage.
It is no wonder that the previous four heavy-armored troops were the main trump cards of each unit. Although their combat effectiveness was not very strong, they were at least in the first echelon in the country.
As a result, they were beaten by the Blues and completely lost their temper.
Fortunately, nothing in the world is absolute.
There just happened to be a cheater in the 702nd Regiment, which made it possible for a miracle to happen in this confrontation that was absolutely impossible.
……
Time goes back to three hours ago.
Chen Jun personally led five squads of the 7th Steel Company and entered the Blue Army's war zone with great momentum, and directly attacked the Blue Army's rear.
However, the mountain road is still difficult to walk on, and Chen Jun has another purpose for coming here.
The real purpose of this trip in person——
That's pathfinding!!
It’s not reconnaissance exploration, but real exploration.
No one else thought about the artillery. Everyone, including Captain Wang and the chief of staff, just wanted to wait for the spearhead squad of the 7th Steel Company to find the Blue Army headquarters and then use all the heavy artillery to bombard them to pieces.
Everyone thought that the heavy artillery unit's 20-kilometer range would definitely be able to cover the Blue Army's headquarters.
Only Chen Jun always felt uneasy. The plot of the TV series and his dealings with Yuan Lang and the railway in his previous life told him that things were not that simple.
The only means available to the Red Army was to use heavy artillery to attack the Blue Army's headquarters.
Everyone in the Red Army knows it.
The Blues couldn't possibly be unaware of this, and it's impossible for such a big loophole to occur.
details make a difference.
This is the doctrine that Chen Jun believes in most!
Therefore, it is still uncertain where the Blue Army’s headquarters is.
Chen Jun decided to think of the worst case scenario first, that the Blue Army would deliberately block the firing range of the Red Army's heavy artillery and open a path for the Red Army's heavy artillery unit to escape in advance.
While clearing the way, they also "hid the truth from the world" and reduced the pressure on the spearhead squad and other companies of the Red Army.
However, because it was just his personal inference and there was no basis to rely on, Chen Jun did not express his true intention.
To the outside world, they simply said that they were carrying out a plan to conceal the truth and go out specifically to engage the Blue Army's ground forces.
In order to find a path for the artillery unit to pass, Chen Jun arranged the five squads in a line, with a distance of 200 meters between each squad.
By expanding the area in parallel, we can collect all the terrain conditions along the way.
In order to make the exercise more realistic, the directorate provided both sides with very blurry military topographic maps that only showed approximate locations.
The specific and subtle terrain requires personnel from both sides to conduct on-site exploration deep behind enemy lines.
The formation was equivalent to a forward search formation, so the advancement speed was destined not to be fast. After more than two hours, they only advanced about five kilometers.
Fortunately, Chen Jun did not need to go deep into the hinterland, and the speed of advancement did not affect his plan.
That is around three in the afternoon.
Qi Huan, who had received two squads of Lao A from Yuan Lang and was confident that he could annihilate the Red Army, came over to find the location of the 7th Steel Company.
Finally, relying on the advantage in intelligence, they took the lead in ambush on the 7th Squad of the 7th Steel Company.
Old A’s strength was indeed very strong. He killed four people from Class 7 in one encounter.
Fortunately, the team was spread out in a line, and Class 7 formed a width of several dozen meters. No matter how good Lao A's shooting skills and tactics were, he would not be able to cover such a wide area.
The trees in the woods obstruct the view of the world. No matter how great Mr. A is, he cannot escape the laws of physics.
Squad 7 was originally a firepower squad that was converted from artillery to infantry. Frontal combat is not their strong point, not to mention that they were ambushed by Old A.
If you get beaten you can only find a place to hide immediately.
Unable to even show his head to fight back, he had to use the walkie-talkie to call for help as soon as possible. This was also the best way to survive under the current circumstances.
"Steel Plant, calling Steel Plant, this is Squad 7, we are under attack, enemy fire is too strong, requesting support, repeat, requesting support."
The call from the squad leader of the seventh squad was transmitted to Chen Jun's side, and the gunshots could be heard clearly even without the call.
Chen Jun was in the middle of the team, only about two hundred meters away.
"The steel mill received it and is waiting for them."
Other company commanders would turn pale with fear when they heard about Blue Army Old A, but Chen Jun was not afraid of them. As a special warfare instructor for many years, he understood the shortcomings of special forces soldiers very well.
No matter how strong one's personal qualities and abilities are, firepower is ultimately the truth.
In view of the characteristics of Lao A's group of special forces, Chen Jun immediately issued a series of targeted orders.
"Squad eight, squad nine, you will surround the enemy from the left and right wings respectively and feint an attack. Your main task is to delay them with your life saved."
"Squad Five, support Squad Seven from the front and use the bazooka to blast them hard."
"Class 4, follow me."
Chen Jun issued four orders in a row, and the five squads immediately moved according to Chen Jun's orders and surrounded the Blue Army.
The Red Army adopted a classic large-scale corps combat mode, and its main strategy was to use its numerical advantage and firepower advantage to carry out double-team bombing on the enemy.
The Blue Army's Lao A all adopted the special warfare mode, mainly forming small teams to cooperate in combat.
The locations are relatively close together and not too scattered.
Qi Huan led the team and was the first to discover the Red Army. He launched a sneak attack and killed four people in the first time, which immediately boosted his confidence.
He thought that the Red Army that was approaching was the same as the Red Army he had encountered before.
They are all a bunch of paper tigers that will burst with a single poke.
The Red Army they encountered were suppressed to the point where they could not even raise their heads and dared not even show their heads to shoot. Qi Huang decided to fight a quick battle and quickly eliminate the Red Army in front of him.
Let the sniper hold the rear and send the assaulters to attack the front.
Eliminate the hiding Red Army one by one.
The three assault teams, each consisting of two old A partners, then advanced forward using trees as cover under the fire suppression cover of their teammates.
The first half of the journey went very smoothly and there was no threat at all.
It’s just that the Red Army they encountered was so cowardly. It was the most cowardly and fearful Red Army unit they had ever encountered in all the exercises they had fought.
Faced with their threatening approach, no one showed up to shoot.
Not to mention the head, even the toes are not as good as it.
