Chapter 185: Capture the Railway Captain Alive!

Chapter 185: Capture the Railway Captain Alive!

Chapter 185: Capture the Railway Captain Alive! (8000-word chapter)
The railway's orders were transmitted very quickly, and the Red Army received the message quickly.

The messenger returned to the Red Army headquarters as quickly as possible.

"Report to the commander, comrade. The deputy chief of staff of the Blue Army has connected to the radio station of the third company and said he wants to meet and chat with you." The messenger reported.

"The confrontation is not over yet, see you."

Captain Wang refused outright and said sarcastically, "Is it possible that he couldn't find my headquarters and wanted to use this opportunity to play some tricks again?"

Captain Wang was very confident in his reverse thinking and knew that there was no way the Blue Army could discover the location of the headquarters.

"He said he knew you would answer like that, so he specifically said that when he arrives, the exercise will be over." The messenger said again.

"Got it. Let's go down."

Captain Wang couldn't help but frown, realizing that something was wrong with these words.

"Yes!"

The messenger saluted and left, but the command center was in an uproar at this moment.

"Judging from what this Blue Army deputy chief of staff said, he doesn't need our consent to come here and he can find us directly. In other words, he already knows where we are?" The chief of staff looked grim.

"I'm afraid it can't be wrong."

Captain Wang's face was very serious, and he said with some anger: "The Blue Army is too arrogant. They haven't even won yet, but they are already showing off their winning attitude."

"Since our position has been exposed, let's hurry up and move as soon as possible. We will definitely have enough time." The combat staff said in a panic.

"Leave? It's too late."

Captain Wang took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath through the hazy smoke and said, "The Blue Army is so arrogant that they dared to inform us in advance.

This proves that he is absolutely sure and has locked our position.

I'm afraid there are already quite a few of their spies around our headquarters, so no matter where we go, it will be meaningless."

Captain Wang hit the nail on the head with one sentence. He has to be quite capable to be a captain.

They have been closely watched by the Blue Army scouts, so it is meaningless to move. If they move rashly in the midst of adversity, it may be even more dangerous without the protection of the regiment headquarters camp.

And now that the position has been exposed, the Blue Army's attack will surely come soon.

There is no way forward or backward.

What should I do?
All the staff officers at the command center were furious.

The confrontation has reached this point and victory is at hand. If we lose at this time, no one can accept it.

But no matter how much you don't want to lose, you have to accept the reality.

Captain Wang recognized the reality and stopped discussing. He knew that now it had entered a time-based battle, and it would depend on which side would destroy the other's headquarters first.

The Red Army's attacking forces have already set out, and there is still a chance of winning.

Plan for today.

All the Red Army could do was to conduct a comprehensive defense, mobilize all the air defense forces, concentrate on defending the Red Army headquarters, and buy time for the enemy's rear-line troops.

Since the location has been completely exposed, there is no need to shut down the radio station.

Directly maximize efficiency.

The order from the regiment headquarters was quickly passed down to each air defense company, and all the remaining air defense units converged on the headquarters as quickly as possible.

As long as all anti-aircraft firepower is concentrated, the Blue Army helicopter air strike may not be successful.

Even if it means launching a suicide attack.

At the same time, in order to counter the Blue Army's ground forces, all threats around the headquarters were cleared so that the headquarters was no longer under the Blue Army's nose.

The first thing was to gather all the police and communications companies, squads and platoons and return them to the Red Army headquarters.

Commander Wang also ordered two reserve tank companies to gather at the headquarters for concentrated defense.

Tanks cannot drive into the woods, so the tank soldiers get off the vehicles and serve as infantry, regardless of their combat effectiveness. They are purely used as search troops.

Find all the Blue Army soldiers hiding in the woods, and then send the police communications company to encircle and suppress them.

If you can't win, send another tank company into the field. As long as the position of the blue army is marked, a bombardment from tanks and heavy artillery will always teach them a lesson.

With both air and ground preparations in full swing, the Red Army's rear entered an all-round "iron wall" defense.

Delay it as long as possible!

As for the armored infantry company that had already rushed out, the order they received was still to continue charging forward until the last soldier was killed.

Their role is also to delay the Blue Army and prevent the Blue Army's ground forces from regaining their positions.

The main point is to delay it as long as possible.

After all, it has come to a critical moment of life and death and racing against time. It would be meaningless for the armored infantry company to retreat.

It would be better for them to make use of their last bit of energy to buy time for the 7th Steel Company and the 11th Artillery Company.

These two companies are the final killer move and have become the key to the Red Army's final victory or defeat in this exercise. The other fourteen companies of the regiment have to serve them.

Under the high-pressure command of Captain Wang, all units of the Red Army pushed forward at full speed.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

The remaining troops of the two air defense companies, totaling four air defense platoons, all arrived at the headquarters camp, with their guns pointed toward the sky and ready to engage in battle at any time.

There were only ten light and heavy tanks left in the two reserve tank companies, and they were all surrounding the headquarters.

The reason why the reserve tank company has so few tanks is not because they were severely consumed in battle.

But all the fuel was not enough, and all the fuel was only enough to drive ten cars over.

The remaining tanks could not move due to lack of fuel and became a pile of useless scrap metal. Now they can only stay outside the battalion headquarters.

This is helpless.

It also reflects the huge impact of logistics on war.

According to the order arranged by the regiment commander, one tank company was responsible for guarding the camp, and all the soldiers of the other tank company got off the vehicle and became infantry.

There was not even enough time to collect weapons.

In fact, as the logistics support company was bombed, we can’t produce so many weapons now.

Fortunately, the tank soldiers transformed themselves into search soldiers and worked together with the police communications company to conduct a dragnet search of the surrounding woods.

The main task is to search and no fighting is required.

A great battle was about to break out at the Red Army headquarters. The four armored infantry companies of the Red Army kept charging forward, but were finally blocked by the Blue Army.

Thirty old A's rappelled from the helicopter into the woods and quickly formed a formation.

The Red Army armored infantrymen who had been charging forward once again felt the familiar feeling, the feeling of being crushed by strength.

More than ten were killed in one encounter.

There is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, coupled with a huge gap in equipment and terrain restrictions.

The performance of the armored infantrymen of these four companies could not be compared with that of the 7th Steel Company.

Not to mention beating Old A back, they couldn't even stand up to the Blues' Old A and were stopped abruptly.

The shadow of fear that was originally created by the Blue Army also enveloped all the Red Army soldiers at this moment.

Driven by the instinct of survival, everyone wanted to escape.

However, the regiment had already issued a death order that the four infantry companies were not allowed to retreat even a single step, forcing them to fight to the death here.

Perhaps it was the desperate situation of inevitable death that aroused the potential of the soldiers.

Or maybe he was just thinking about the exercise and wanted to lose happily even if he lost.

The two sides were beaten badly as soon as they met, and the Red Army, which was completely thrown into disarray, surprisingly stabilized itself quickly in a very short time.

They looked for advantageous terrain in the woods, adopted a positional warfare formation, and confronted the Blue Army head-on.

Even though they were still being beaten unilaterally by the Blues and players were constantly being eliminated with white smoke coming out of them, the speed of elimination had slowed down significantly.

Old A needs to spend more time to kill a Red Army soldier.

The purpose of delaying time has been achieved.

The Blue Army is not panicking at all now. They just need to kill all the Red Army in front of them, including the tanks, air defense forces, Red Army battalion and company headquarters, etc.

One of the two requirements for winning the confrontation can be achieved with a 50 percent casualty rate.

Another requirement for victory was the destruction mission of the Red Army headquarters, which also involved two armed helicopters dispatched by the Blue Army's aviation unit.

After two days of continuous fighting, the Blue Army's armed helicopters have a mature route and can invade the Red Army's war zone very safely.

The two helicopters also knew that this mission would definitely involve great risks.

So their mission this time is a one-way ticket.

They completely abandoned the idea of ​​returning and transformed all their defense into offense. There was only one goal left, which was to kill the Red Army headquarters.

The distance between the two parties is not far and can be reached in less than ten minutes.

I don't know.

The Red Army's command's defense, especially the air defense, has been stretched to its maximum, more than ten times stronger than the previous air defense.

Under this high-density air defense, if the armed helicopters come over like before, they are bound to suffer losses.

When two armed helicopters came over at a very low altitude, in order to prevent being hit by the Red Army's ground air defense, they began to attack from a distance of nearly two kilometers.

But just as their fire control locked onto the Red Army, several "sky rockets" popped up from the ground.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Ground anti-aircraft artillery also opened fire at the same time.

Both armed helicopters were startled. It was the first time they saw the Red Army's air defense, and its reaction was so fast and fierce.

Under this concentrated fire situation, neither of the two armed helicopters had time to open fire.

It takes time for armed helicopters to launch rockets. If they don't make emergency evasive maneuvers immediately, they will be shot down after firing one or two rockets at most.

The power of one or two rockets is not enough to destroy a headquarters.

Ever since.

The pilots of the two armed helicopters were forced to abandon the attack and immediately perform tactical evasive maneuvers to escape danger before making any further plans.

However, among those who launched the anti-aircraft individual missiles were the elite "anti-aircraft squad" of the 7th Steel Company.

Their technology is very strong.

Combined with the other anti-aircraft missiles of the air defense team and the anti-aircraft artillery from the ground air defense forces, the firepower is enough to cover a helicopter formation.

No matter how skilled the two Blue Army armed helicopters were, or how decisive the evasive decision they made, they were still unable to change their outcome.

Soon white smoke came out of the two helicopters, indicating that they had been eliminated.

Fortunately, this time the two helicopters had enough time to report the situation to the Blue Army Headquarters before being eliminated.

"Failed??"

When the railway heard the news, it was a little surprised, but there was no major emotional fluctuation.

This result does not seem to be surprising.

As the result reached the ears of the railway, the helicopter he was riding in had already returned to the Army Aviation Brigade camp and slowly landed on the tarmac.

A group of ground crew members quickly came up and started to perform various tasks.

Tielu walked out of the open hatch alone, entered the tent area with brisk steps, and prepared to communicate with the Chief of General Staff.

Little did he know that the very moment he came down was under the surveillance of the sharp reconnaissance squad.

Chengcai has been squatting here for a whole night. If it weren't for Chen Jun's special training and the excitement brought by the exercise confrontation, he would have fallen asleep.

When he saw Tielu coming down from the helicopter, his eyes lit up with excitement.

All the fatigue is swept away.

"Twenty-three cents, Colonel, that's a colonel. A colonel got off the helicopter. Squad leader, look, he has the same rank as our regiment commander. Is he the commander of the Blue Army?"

Chengcai's eyebrows were raised with excitement, but he had to lower his voice for fear of being exposed.

"It should be correct, it must be him."

Everyone was anxious after waiting for so long, and Wu Liuyi was very excited when he finally got the news. He said quickly, "You continue to watch here, I'll go find the platoon leader."

"Okay, I will definitely keep a close eye on him." Chengcai patted his chest and promised.

Wu Liuyi stood up, bent over and started running. He soon found Shi Jin and reported to him, "Squad leader, we're here. We saw a colonel getting off the helicopter and entering the Blue Army camp.

He must be the commander of the Blue Army. Hurry up and report it to him on the radio. Don't let him get away."

"Really? Are you sure?"

Although Shi Jin was calm, he also became anxious and asked impatiently.

Just now, when he saw two more helicopters flying out, Shi Jin was worried that the Red Army might lose at any time, and his heart was in his throat.

If he hadn't been able to keep his composure, he would have led his men into the camp long ago. "Confirmed, 100% confirmed."

Wu Liuyi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, which showed how anxious he was at the moment.

"Okay, I'll report it now."

Finally confirming the accuracy of the intelligence, Shi Jin no longer hesitated and decisively turned on the radio to report to the company: "Calling the steel plant, this is the sharp knife, we have confirmed the location of the Blue Army headquarters, the coordinates...

Repeat, Blue Army Command has been confirmed, coordinates..."

“It’s just in time.”

Gao Cheng, who was also eagerly waiting, immediately contacted the regiment headquarters by radio and reported the coordinates of the Blue Army Command.

Since this was the news brought by the spearhead squad, how could Gao Cheng miss this opportunity to show off.

He immediately jumped into the car and headed straight for the regiment headquarters.

By the way, he also brought several members of the mobile squad who had completed their mission and returned to the company headquarters to be responsible for protection, and went to the regiment headquarters to help.

The Blue Army's infiltration troops have not been found yet.

If the Seventh Company can find it, it will be another achievement.

"Report to the commander, the 7th Steel Company called and found the Blue Army headquarters."

The signalman ran to the headquarters to report. This news instantly plunged the headquarters, which was originally low in morale and full of high pressure, into a sea of ​​jubilation.

The attack by the Blue Army helicopter just now made everyone break out in cold sweats.

Fortunately, he managed to save his life in the end.

But you can only guarantee it for a while, not for a lifetime.

Who knows whether the Red Army’s air defense will be able to hold on the next time the Blue Army’s helicopter comes.

"That's great, haha, you are worthy of being the sharp knife, worthy of being the ace of the 7th Steel Company, haha."

The regiment commander laughed excitedly upon hearing the news, and decisively ordered: "Send a message to the 11th Company immediately, and have them bombard the Red Army headquarters and kill him for me."

"Yes!"

The signalman immediately ran to deliver the message.

In the Red Army headquarters, when the situation came to their senses, everyone felt relieved, smiled as if they had survived a disaster, and started talking excitedly.

"As expected of the 7th Steel Company, you have the strength to help our 702nd Regiment turn the tide."

"Of course, this is a combined company, the only one in our entire army. If we don't have the right skills, how can we take on such a delicate job?"

"Luckily we have the Seventh Steel Company, otherwise, we would have lost miserably."

"We are the attackers and have shown great offensive momentum. If we can take down the Blue Army Headquarters, our regiment will definitely win the division's evaluation this year."

……

As the group was filled with joy and excitement, everyone was very optimistic about the situation ahead and almost believed that they would definitely win.

After all, the Blue Army's armed helicopters have now been repelled by them.

By the time another wave of Blue Army helicopters arrived, the Red Army's artillery had already landed on the Blue Army camp and destroyed their headquarters.

Now that the Red Army has completed the occupation of the position, we only need to kill the Red Army headquarters to win.

Not to mention that even if the Blue Army helicopter arrives again, whether it can evade the Red Army's air defense force and successfully destroy the Red Army headquarters is another matter.

From this perspective...

The Red Army is now in an overall dominant position and is indeed qualified to celebrate in advance.

However, due to the information gap between the front and rear, it sounds like it can take just one sentence to defeat the Blue Army Command, but in fact it is not that simple.

When the order from the regiment headquarters was passed on to the artillery company, there was no way to launch an attack immediately.

Because there were no specially opened roads in the jungle, the line that Chen Jun led the 7th Steel Company to create could not be compared with a specially paved road.

Even though the 11th Artillery Company is a tracked vehicle, it has better field driving conditions.

It is impossible to drive fast on this kind of road, and the speed can only be moved forward slowly at a few kilometers per hour. At this moment, he has not yet met up with Chen Jun.

It's not yet in range, so there's no way to fire.

When the artillery company reported the situation to the regiment, the regimental command, which had been beaming with joy, was instantly like being poured with a basin of ice water.

Everyone was stunned.

The uneasiness and uneasiness that had originally disappeared once again occupied everyone's mind.

Captain Wang could only give orders, asking the artillery company to advance as quickly as possible, and all he could do was wait for news from the artillery company.

The artillery company's delay in launching an attack was a disaster for the Red Army.

Fortunately, as the railway helicopter returned, the Blue Army also lost surveillance of the Red Army's communications and had no idea that their command had been exposed.

It's a blessing in disguise!
At this time, Tielu had already met with the Chief of General Staff and completed the relevant negotiations, and was preparing to return to the helicopter to the Red Army Command.

Before leaving, he confidently left a message: "Just wait to hear my good news."

The Chief of General Staff still frowned after hearing this.

Because there is only one armed helicopter left, and the others have been destroyed by the Red Army. Can it destroy the Red Army headquarters?

Not to say that the probability is extremely low, but at least it is not high.

After all, the two helicopters that were dispatched before were not shot down, and both armed helicopters were destroyed by the Red Army’s air defense. Can one helicopter really complete the mission?

Since the probability of a helicopter completing a mission is not very high.

So where does the railway’s confidence come from?
The Blue Army's Chief of Staff couldn't understand it at all. Due to the special status of the railway, he couldn't force him to speak, so he could only keep him in suspense.

He frowned as he watched Railroad leave the tent and confidently head towards the helicopter that had completed the resupply.

"Platoon leader, haven't we contacted the regiment headquarters and sent back the coordinates of the Blue Army? Why haven't our artillery launched an attack yet? What's going on?"

Bai Tiejun had not heard any notification from the director's office and asked Shi Jin anxiously.

"Don't worry, the heavy artillery troops need time and should be here soon."

Shi Jin was actually also wondering. According to his estimation, the artillery should have been fired a long time ago, but several minutes had passed and there was still no response.

This obviously abnormal situation made him extremely anxious.

But as the platoon leader he had to stabilize the situation, so he had to ask everyone to keep calm.

However, Shi Jin wanted everyone to remain calm, and everyone believed in Shi Jin as the platoon leader and thought that the artillery would open fire soon, so no one said anything.

They all kept their eyes fixed on the camp, looking forward to the moment of victory.

The new situation on the Blues side made him uneasy.

At this time, all the members of the reconnaissance team, including the team that had gone out for reconnaissance, had returned and gathered outside the camp.

Everyone could clearly see that the colonel of the Blue Army appeared in sight again.

And the direction he was heading was towards the apron.

In addition, the propeller of the helicopter he got off from the tarmac was now slowly turning, and it was obviously preparing to take off again.

Everyone in the spearhead squad could see that Colonel Blue was going to take a helicopter.

The members of the spearhead squad determined that the colonel was the commander of the Blue Army. Once the colonel of the Blue Army took a helicopter and flew away from the camp.

Even if the artillery company destroyed the camp, it would be of no use to the Red Army.

"He's leaving, that guy's leaving, what should I do??"

"Platoon leader, the Blue Army commander is going to take a helicopter, and our artillery hasn't arrived yet. What should we do now?"

"Oh my god, if we let him go, then all our work will be in vain."

……

Seeing this sudden situation, everyone in the spearhead squad became anxious, sweating on their foreheads, and they all looked at Shi Jin anxiously.

Shi Jin, who had been bearing all the pressure, was also stunned when he saw this unexpected situation.

An unexpected situation occurred on Shi Jin's side, causing the situation to be a little out of control for a while. However, the Red Army headquarters on the other side was even more chaotic than this one.

Because something big has happened here!
Just as everyone in the regiment was waiting, the artillery company arrived within the designated range and opened fire.

People from the directorate suddenly rushed in and announced publicly that the Red Army headquarters had been wiped out and all the people including the commander had died on the spot.

"What the hell, what, what's gone?" The chief of staff felt like his brain was short-circuited.

"Why do you say we were all killed? I need a reasonable explanation?"

Captain Wang's face turned very pale and he looked coldly at the major referee from the directorate. He would not give him any face if the referee could not give him a reasonable explanation.

Even if the people in the director's department are from the army group!
The referee from the director's department was very calm and then explained it to everyone.

Because a main battle tank belonging to the Red Army outside suddenly turned its gun towards the Red Army headquarters and fired a high-explosive shell.

Based on the lethality and destructive power of the shells, it was determined that all the Red Army commanders were killed.

"Our tanks??"

Upon hearing this incredible result, everyone present was stunned.

Just when everyone was still wondering what the hell was going on, there was suddenly the roar of an off-road vehicle outside, and the sound of tires rubbing against the ground at high speed.

Captain Wang, the Chief of Staff and others immediately rushed outside to check.

I saw five soldiers in Red Army uniforms sitting in a 212 military vehicle of the Red Army, driving the vehicle at full speed out of the camp.

Since all the police communications companies were deployed outside, there were only a few guards guarding the camp.

The other tanks and vehicles had no time to react.

There was no way to stop the car. The guards were hit and smoke was coming out of their mouths before they could react. They could only watch the car rush out.

Captain Wang and others who saw this scene immediately understood what was going on.

No wonder the Blue Army reconnaissance team that infiltrated has not found anyone after searching for a long time. It turns out that the other party has also used tit-for-tat tactics -

The most dangerous place is the safest!

Taking advantage of the fact that the main force was converging here, they got a tank from somewhere and disguised it as a Red Army tank and hid inside.

Then, at this most critical moment, a fatal blow was dealt to the Red Army headquarters.

After figuring out the whole story, Captain Wang and his companions, who were originally furious, immediately lost their temper and were left with only regret on their faces.

They won by their real ability, and if they lose, they lose, there is nothing to complain about.

Fortunately, the Blues have not won yet, and the Reds have not completely lost the game. There is still a glimmer of hope. It depends on whether they can turn the tide.

Captain Wang, the Chief of Staff and others could only wait silently in their hearts.

Just then Gao Cheng happened to run over and saw a car running outside frantically. In addition, the director's office announced that the in-vehicle communication had also been notified simultaneously.

Gao Cheng immediately realized that his hometown had been robbed by this group of people.

"Chase them, chase them and kill them."

Gao Cheng remembered that he was furious, and without even thinking twice, he immediately led his mobile squad and turned around as fast as possible to chase after the fleeing car.

No matter whether you can win or not, you have to chase after them and fight them.

……

There were huge changes at the Red Army headquarters, and Shi Jin could no longer hold on.

Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer to the helicopter, there was no time to report to the regiment, and by the time we reported, the opportunity was already lost.

Shi Jin could only grit his teeth and harden his heart, and no longer remain calm at this moment.

We can only burn our boats.

"Sharp Blade Squad, everyone get ready, follow me and capture the Blue Army commander alive."

As Shi Jin was the first to rush out and give the order, the members of the spearhead squad, who had long lost their patience, immediately followed him and rushed forward.

There were only 20 to 30 meters between the two sides, and it would only take a few seconds to run at full speed.

When the railway discovered that something was not right, a group of soldiers in blue army uniforms suddenly emerged from the woods, and they realized that they might be scouts of the Red Army.

No one had time to think about why the Red Army scouts appeared here so quietly.

Shi Jin and his group rushed over and blocked the way from all sides.

"Go, go, get on the helicopter."

Seeing that the Blue Army sentry discovered the situation here, Shi Jin decisively gave orders again, dragging the still confused railway, and was controlled by the left and right, and forcibly taken to the helicopter.

Xu Sanduo took out a sock from somewhere and stuffed it into the mouth of the railway.

He couldn't even make a sound.

By the time Tielu had fully reacted, he had already been dragged onto the helicopter.
