Chapter 250: Destroy the Blue Army within 2 hours!
Chapter 250: Destroy the Blue Army within two hours!
The Blue Army's command was turned upside down, but the Red Army's attack continued.
Gao Cheng, who highly implemented Chen Jun's breakthrough tactics, easily captured two small hills of the Blue Army in a row, which completely boosted his confidence.
The more I play, the more comfortable I am with it!
It feels hot at this time.
Do it quickly!
Gao Cheng, who was already in high spirits, couldn't wait to ask his intelligence officer to quickly filter the intelligence information and find a suitable Blue Army position for him to attack.
Not only the third target, but also the fourth, fifth, and sixth target...
Line up the targets and hit them one by one in turn.
There is the crushing of the special reconnaissance company's field reconnaissance intelligence, the interception and monitoring of the electronic countermeasures company's communications, and the interference and suppression of the radio.
It is also equipped with an armored company that is proficient in lightning warfare and an artillery company with first-class firing technology.
The most important thing is that these companies have undergone half a year of integrated and coordinated training, and have formed a tacit understanding of combat with each other.
Even if there is no one on the field directing, they can complete the battle tacitly.
What's more, there is Chen Jun's tactical guidance, Gao Cheng is in charge of real-time control at the battalion headquarters, and the already learned Man Guangzhi is in charge of staff.
In this regimental-level confrontation, the combined battalion was like a Siberian tiger entering a pack of wild cats.
A naked dimensionality reduction attack!
When it was about two o'clock in the afternoon, the exercise had just started for six hours. If it was a normal traditional exercise, both sides would still be deploying or sending small units to test each other.
However, at this time, Area 74 was already filled with smoke and gunpowder.
We have gone through dozens of battles, big and small.
The clashes between the reconnaissance units of both sides in front of the battlefield were small in scale but had more friction, occupying the vast majority of the battles, and there were casualties but they were limited.
One inch is long and one is strong, one inch is short and one is dangerous.
The risk is undoubtedly the highest for reconnaissance teams that need to conduct close-range reconnaissance.
In the positional combat above the small unit, the combined battalion led by Gao Cheng had been killing like crazy. At this time, they had successfully captured eight blue army points and killed or captured alive a total of more than 180 blue army soldiers.
This does not include those who were convicted of escaping with injuries.
At the same time, seven main battle tanks and eight armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles were seized.
Jeeps, SUVs and trucks galore.
Except for a few scouts who were injured, the rest of the Red Army was rescued by their comrades, and the overall number of casualties in the combined battalion remained zero.
The opposing Blues were not given any chance and every battle ended cleanly and neatly.
It came like lightning and left like lightning.
Because the Blue Army lost eight small positions in a row, only a few main positions were left in the front, and both sides had lost their flank cover.
In order to prevent being surrounded on three sides by the Red Army, other large positions with an entire company of troops were also swallowed up by the Red Army's ghostly attack method.
The Blues had to abandon these main positions and retreat to the rear to continue forming an overall defense line.
This retreat was as far as 10 kilometers, and the battle line, which was originally located right in the middle of the two armies, was completely tilted towards the Blue Army.
The Blues' range of activities was compressed, making their situation very passive.
The Red Army now has a larger space for maneuver, and its subsequent tactical deployment can be more flexible, and its advantage is already very obvious.
The most important thing is that the battle line is pressed towards the enemy, which means it is ten kilometers closer to the enemy's flag.
If nothing unexpected happens.
As long as the Blues continue to play at this pace, they will become frogs boiled in warm water and will be eaten away step by step by the Reds.
This is what real war is like.
It is not like the large battlefields in ancient times, where hundreds of thousands of people gathered together to fight on the plains, and either winning or losing was decided at once.
Instead, they continued to advance in small scales like this, slowly fighting for each position and intersection.
Until the final victory of the war!
Most of the combined battalion led by Gao Cheng was killing like crazy, and had already made the Blue Army panic-stricken. Some of the Blue Army on the position even dared not get off the vehicles.
It was obvious that he was ready to escape at any time to save his life first.
Be timid before fighting.
The soldiers' morale was so low that the Blue Army had actually already lost.
The commander of the Blue Army also knew that something was wrong, and he was even more aware that if they could not contain the attack of the combined battalion, their final outcome would be a disastrous defeat.
And it was an unprecedented defeat.
Unfortunately, the entire regiment thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a good and feasible solution.
In the end, they had no choice but to place all their bets on the armored reconnaissance company and make a breakthrough in intelligence reconnaissance.
As long as we can suppress the Red Army in terms of intelligence, we can get the Red Army's dynamics at any time.
Especially the combined battalion.
As long as the Blue Army can grasp the dynamics of the combined battalion and know where the combined battalion will go next, it will be able to increase its defense in time.
They even set up an ambush in advance and severely trapped the Red Army's combined battalion.
This is also the Blues' last resort at the moment.
In fact, this trick is indeed feasible and is the best way to deal with this kind of lightning-fast attack.
As long as the combined battalion can be monitored, it will be exposed. No matter how fast it is, it will not be able to launch a lightning raid.
Even though it is a battalion fighting a platoon every time, there is still absolute suppression in terms of military strength.
As long as the Blue Army knows that the combined battalion is coming and knows where it will attack next, they can also have many ways to counter.
Even if there is no time to mobilize so many troops for support, artillery companies can be used to provide long-range support.
If the Red Army could launch a saturation attack in time while the combined battalion tanks were attacking, dozens of heavy artillery rounds would turn the tanks into scrap metal.
The combined battalion only has one armored company and they cannot afford such losses.
and so.
The most critical factor for a combined battalion to conduct this kind of rapid blitzkrieg is actually intelligence suppression, relying on the advantage in information confrontation.
If either of them loses its advantage, the power of the lightning breakthrough tactic will be greatly reduced.
After all, it is just a regular basic contract tactic, not a sophisticated and advanced tactic.
There are obvious drawbacks, but they are completely reasonable.
The Blue Army Command did have experts who found a solution to the problem in a short period of time and even showed the courage to fight to the death.
This is an important point!
It is known that the predecessor of the Red Army Special Reconnaissance Company was the 7th Steel Company, which was a reconnaissance combined company with extremely strong combat effectiveness. The armored reconnaissance company of the 384th Regiment would most likely not be able to gain a reconnaissance advantage against it.
If we cannot gain an advantage in reconnaissance, there is no way to achieve the desired effect and reverse the passive situation.
The commander of the 384th Regiment gritted his teeth and made up his mind to send the regiment's only security force, the Communications Company, to fight against the 7th Steel Company together with the Armored Reconnaissance Company.
Only one tank company, one infantry company and one anti-aircraft company were left as the guard for the regiment headquarters.
It is also the last mobile force! The Police Communications Company is a security communications company. Its frontal combat capability may be average, but it also has a foundation in reconnaissance.
After all, if you don't have a certain level of reconnaissance capability, you won't be able to use counter-reconnaissance to protect the regiment headquarters and prevent it from being infiltrated by the enemy's reconnaissance forces.
Even if it is not as strong as a professional reconnaissance company, the gap will not be that big.
Even if I put it mildly...
A police communications company plus an armored reconnaissance company can be considered at least one and a half reconnaissance companies.
Using one and a half reconnaissance companies to fight against the 7th Steel Company would definitely give them an overwhelming advantage in terms of literal data, and they would definitely be able to regain the initiative in front-line reconnaissance.
The Blues' sudden move was broadcast to the director's office in real time.
Seeing the Blues’ desperate momentum, many leaders watching the game expressed their approval and were looking forward to the “reconnaissance battle” that was about to begin.
Is it the police communications company plus the armored infantry company that can dominate ground reconnaissance on the battlefield?
Or will the 7th Steel Company, which has the title of the first combined company in the entire army and is known as the Tiger Steel Division, be able to defeat the powerful enemy in this special battle?
All the heads of the directorate were waiting expectantly, their eyes fixed on the TV screen.
The adjustments made by the Blues were quickly reflected on the battlefield.
There are only a few thousand combatants at the regimental level, and only a few hundred deployed to the front line, while the rest are logistics support and command personnel.
Nearly two hundred scouts from the Blue Army joined the front line, and this risky tactic actually worked at first.
The reconnaissance vehicle crew of the 7th Steel Company did not expect that the Blue Army would send up the Police Communications Company. The doubled force instantly formed absolute suppression.
Several reconnaissance teams were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Blue Army.
The first death also occurred!
The scouts of the third squad of the first platoon of the seventh steel company were divided into two groups and conducted reconnaissance around Hill 45. They were discovered and surrounded by three reconnaissance vehicle groups of the Blue Army.
A reconnaissance platoon surrounded a reconnaissance squad, and had the support of the blue army's firepower on the position.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for a reconnaissance squad to survive.
Fortunately, the soldiers trained by the 7th Steel Company are not cowards. Each of them has excellent skills, and the acting platoon leader Shi Jin has rich combat experience.
Despite being surrounded and attacked by the enemy, they still showed strong fighting resilience.
In the end, they escaped from the encirclement of three squads of the Blue Army with only two deaths, and even made a small profit on the way to evacuation.
With a precise anti-tank rocket, a pursuing Blue Army infantry fighting vehicle was destroyed.
2 for 10, no loss at all.
Perhaps they felt that the Red Army's unilateral beating and the Blue Army's only passive struggle did not seem to be satisfying enough, or perhaps they wanted to squeeze out the maximum combat effectiveness of the combined battalion to a greater extent.
The director, who had not appeared to take any action until now, jumped out at this critical moment.
There is an emergency!
The Blue Army called for air support from headquarters and also mobilized satellite reconnaissance to lock on the electronic warfare company and launched an air strike on it.
As a result, all vehicles of the electronic warfare company were destroyed and it completely lost its combat capability.
Although this sudden incident was very unreasonable, and even if satellite reconnaissance was really used, it would not be so easy to find the disguised electronic warfare company.
But the counselor has this right, his existence is so disgusting.
"The reconnaissance company has been suppressed by the Blue Army, and now they have destroyed my electronic warfare company. This is not an emergency. I think they are deliberately targeting me. If they want me to lose, just say so. I will follow orders. There is no need to play such tricks."
Upon hearing the sudden incident from the director's office, Captain Wang, who was originally in a good mood, became so angry that he slammed the table and almost went to the director's office to argue.
"Captain, don't be impatient. It's not that easy to make our 702nd lose. Even if we lose the Electronic Countermeasures Company, I still have a trump card."
Chen Jun promptly persuaded the angry Captain Wang and said confidently: "Since the director's office wants to play tricks, let's play a big one for them.
The Blue Army has been intimidated by our combined battalion, and its losses have exceeded the strength of two companies. We currently have an absolute advantage in terms of manpower.
I suggest that you immediately order the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions to launch a full-scale attack on the Blue Army."
"All-out attack?"
Chen Jun's attack was so sudden that no one in the entire regiment could react.
Even Captain Wang, who was almost angry to death, was shocked by Chen Jun's bold suggestion and woke up with a start.
He frowned and said, “The Blue Army has a total of seventeen regular companies, fourteen of which are deployed in combat.
Although the manpower of two companies had been wiped out, there were still as many as twelve combat troops left on the front line.
Although our casualties were negligible, we only had fourteen men available for combat.
The fourteen companies do have an advantage in manpower, but the Blue Army has the advantage of defensive terrain, and launching a full-scale attack would probably cause us considerable losses."
"correct."
The chief of staff also agreed with Captain Wang and analyzed: "I think the previous tactics were very good, and the results were also outstanding. The loss ratio of one for a hundred is the only one in the entire army. If this continues, no one will dare to deny the combined battalion.
We just need to continue using it, let the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions stabilize their formation, continue to let the combined battalion fight with more troops against fewer, and gradually erode the blue army.
In the end, we will definitely win this confrontation exercise with an excellent performance."
The analysis of Captain Wang and the Chief of Staff were both correct. They both cherished the ridiculously good combat loss ratio at the moment and did not want to fight again by taking risky actions.
This is like getting ten kills and zero deaths in a game, and you really want to maintain the zero-death record.
When fighting, one will be extra concerned and cautious.
"Captain, Chief of Staff, you have misunderstood."
Chen Jun was not angry when his suggestion was refuted, but said with a mysterious smile: "The full-scale attack I mentioned is just a feint.
Calculating the time, my trump card in ambush should be in place by now.
As long as we coordinate a full-scale attack outside and attract all the attention of the Blue Army, the confrontation exercise can be completed in two hours at most.
On the contrary, if we continue to waste time like this, I’m afraid we won’t win within two days.
After all, we no longer have an electronic warfare company, and our front-line reconnaissance no longer has an overwhelming advantage. It is no longer so easy for the combined battalion to launch a lightning raid.
If we keep going like this, given the nature of the counselors, who knows what tricks they will come up with next.
So I still stick to my idea. In order to avoid being played tricks by the directors, we will play tricks on them first, and before they can react, we will end the exercise as fast as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
And then give them a surprise at the end.”
What Chen Jun said was well-reasoned and his analysis was very precise.
The regiment commander and chief of staff, who had originally insisted on the old tactics, realized that the commander did not play by the rules at all, and even the electronic countermeasures were inexplicably gone.
If we really delay winning for two days, who knows what tricks the counselor will play.
If the special investigation company is messed up again.
That would be big trouble!
Compared to the more trouble caused by the long night dream, if Chen Jun can really finish the exercise within two hours, he will definitely have an advantage over the former.
Even if it costs a certain price, it is completely within an acceptable range.
