Chapter 316: Counterfeit Goods Appear

Chapter 316: Counterfeit Goods Appear

The two reconnaissance squads of the 7th Steel Battalion took orders and disappeared into the vast grassland under the cover of night.

As the battalion commander, Gao Cheng continued to command the troops and complete various large and small work arrangements, especially focusing on the delivery of logistical supplies.

Chen Jun is mainly responsible for tactical command. The intelligence has not been retrieved yet and both sides are still in the pre-war stage.

He is relatively free for the time being.

So I was specifically responsible for going to the front line to check the preliminary preparations of various departments.

Chen Jun first came to the most important front line, the left front line which was under the responsibility of the First Armored Company, to check the deployment and vigilance of the First Armored Company.

And they did it without notifying the company headquarters, just launching a surprise attack.

Driving past the position of the 1st Armored Company, Chen Jun made a careful observation through the car window and found that the preliminary work was going very well.

The company headquarters was set up semi-underground as required, and the tanks were also professionally camouflaged.

Below is the anti-infrared camouflage cloth developed by Chen Jun, with a layer of camouflage net in the middle and a layer of grass on the top. The whole thing is no different from the surrounding grass.

Even if the Blue Army has high-altitude infrared detection capabilities, they cannot easily see through this layer of camouflage.

Unless conducting reconnaissance within 100 meters at low altitude!

However, the Blue Army is unlikely to make such a low-level mistake. In this era without small drones, aerial reconnaissance can only rely on large drones and helicopters.

If a large aircraft dares to approach within a hundred meters, anti-aircraft artillery can easily teach it a lesson.

The aerial reconnaissance and prevention measures are in place, and the only thing left is for the troops on the ground to conduct close reconnaissance through infiltration.

This is also what Chen Jun is most worried about!

Chen Jun raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, so he got off the car and walked to a sentry post on the front line.

Chen Jun was sitting in the car and it was impossible to tell who he was. The sentry did not leave his post without permission.

Things were different now that he got off the car. Chen Jun's tall and sturdy figure, the only one in the entire battalion, and his special temperament immediately attracted the attention of the sentry.

One of the double-post sentries was left behind, and the other immediately trotted up to Chen Jun.

He raised his hand and saluted, reporting: "Reporting to the deputy battalion commander, soldiers Xu Xiaoguang and Liu Zhicong from the second platoon of the first armored company are on guard duty. Please give us your instructions."

"Take a break."

Chen Jun returned the greeting and asked, "What's the slogan?"

"Invincible."

The sentry didn't hesitate for even a second. He straightened up and answered loudly.

"Young man, you are in good spirits."

Chen Jun patted the sentry on the shoulder. Being encouraged by his idol, the sentry stood up straighter and enjoyed the feeling very much.

But the next second, Chen Jun's tone changed, and he warned in a stern tone: "You are a sentry, no matter who comes over, you must take the initiative to ask for the password instead of reporting the password.

If the person who came just now was a Blue Army scout, deliberately disguised as a cadre of our Red Army, or someone from the directorate, and told you the password when asked, then wouldn't our front line become a decoration?
If the enemy is allowed to sneak in, it will cause great damage to our Red Army, and this situation must be prevented from happening..."

Chen Jun said a lot, and he spoke very harshly.

The sentry knew what to do, but when he saw Chen Jun coming, he forgot the procedure for a moment and took the initiative to shout out the slogan.

Having made such a big mistake in front of Chen Jun, the sentry suddenly became nervous.

My heart is pounding!
There is no point in explaining this time. If you make a mistake, it is best to admit it decisively. I immediately replied: "I know I was wrong. Thank you for your guidance, Battalion Commander."

"Please tell them that no matter who comes here, no matter what their military rank is, no matter what unit they are in, even if they are the emperor, you must ask them about the slogan. Anyone who has the wrong slogan will be arrested first. Do you understand?"

Chen Jun solemnly reminded that awareness of preventing espionage and maintaining confidentiality must be taken seriously.

"understand!"

Seeing that he was not punished, the sentry breathed a sigh of relief and answered loudly at the top of his voice.

"Let's go back."

Chen Jun did not bother with the minor illness anymore. He waved his hand and asked the guards to return to their posts and continued to patrol other places to see if there was anything he had missed.

After half an hour.

After inspecting the front line of the 1st Armored Company, Chen Jun was driving to the 2nd Armored Company when he suddenly discovered a small problem ahead.

A group of soldiers from the second company surrounded a jeep, and the company commander Yang Wenqing could be seen negotiating with them.

"Drive over there and see what's going on."

Chen Jun ordered the driver to drive the car over, came outside the crowd and waited for the car to stop, opened the door and got out, standing there without moving.

When the off-road vehicle that Chen Jun was riding in came over, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone here.

Seeing that the person who got off the car was the powerful deputy battalion commander, Company Commander Yang Wenqing immediately trotted over to salute, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, deputy battalion commander, how did you find time to come here?"

"I was patrolling the front line and happened to come across this. What's going on here?" Chen Jun asked.

"Report to the deputy battalion commander..."

Yang Wenqing briefly explained to Chen Jun the whole story.

The general meaning is that about five minutes ago, the sentry intercepted a car with a yellow flag from the directorate here and stopped it for routine questioning.

As a result, the other party did not produce his work permit, but only verbally stated that he was from the directorate, and that something had fallen at the Red Army position and he needed to go in and get it out.

And their attitude is very strong, as if they are ready to make things difficult for you if you dare to offend the director's office.

The sentry didn't dare to offend the people in the director's office, but he couldn't just let the people in, so he could only call the company commander Yang Wenqing to make the decision.

Yang Wenqing didn't dare to offend the director's office, so he could only negotiate in a friendly manner.

This is not.

Yang Wenqing had just exchanged a few words with the other party and the matter had not been resolved at all, when Chen Jun coincidentally brought his men here.

"Hey, from the director's office? Did you leave something behind?"

Chen Jun laughed after listening to the whole process. This kind of trick of using the power of others to deceive the world is really effective in fooling people in this era.

After all, the Red Army and Blue Army confrontation model has only appeared in China for a few years, and many places have not yet developed it.

But for Chen Jun, a veteran from the future who has conducted countless exercises, this trick is simply outdated.

You don't even need to look to know that it's the Blue Army in disguise, trying to sneak past and steal intelligence.

"I just sent someone to sneak in, but you dared to play such a trick, Sun Dongping, Sun Dongping, you really surprised me."

Chen Jun smiled secretly and shook his head, deciding to personally expose the fake trick. Seeing Chen Jun approaching the car, the soldiers of the second company who were surrounding him automatically made way for him, got off the car directly and stood in front of the people at the door.

Chen Jun walked over and looked around, and found that these guys were disguised quite well.

The leader was a lieutenant, followed by two non-commissioned officers and a corporal, and the configuration was quite reasonable.

The car they drove had a yellow flag on it and they had yellow director's cuffs on their arms.

According to the rules of this exercise, the car with the yellow flag belongs to the directorate, and the soldiers wearing yellow sleeves are staff members of the directorate.

If you are a referee from the director's department, you will wear red sleeves on your shoulders with the word "referee" written on them.

"As expected of the Blue Army, they have all the equipment the directorate can provide. If it were us, we wouldn't be able to get this equipment in two days in this barren grassland of Inner Mongolia."

Chen Jun despised the Blue Army's tricks in his heart. They had such a big advantage but still cheated themselves.

With a stern expression on his face, he came up to the lieutenant.

"Brush~"

The lieutenant's eyes changed slightly, but he did not lose his composure. He raised his hand and saluted and said, "Commander, we are from the directorate and need to go in. Please give us a favor."

Although the lieutenant spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, he actually showed some of the director's style.

But no matter how well he acted, some of the young first-line actors could not compare to him. However, he felt guilty about pretending, and he could not keep his composure completely when facing the tough aura exuded by a pragmatic lieutenant colonel like Chen Jun.

There was obvious panic and tension in his eyes, especially his left hand, which was not saluting, and was moving unconsciously, sometimes clenched and sometimes relaxed.

This is the gesture that only comes from being overly nervous!
Seeing that he, a lieutenant colonel, had arrived, the Blue Army was still stubborn, so Chen Jun was no longer polite and directly scolded them in a cold and stern voice: "According to the rules of the exercise, except for the referees, anyone from the directorate who enters the Red and Blue Army positions needs to be notified in advance.

I am the deputy battalion commander of the Red Army. I just came from the battalion headquarters and confirmed that the battalion headquarters has not received any notice from the directorate. How dare you say that you are from the directorate?"

If an ordinary person was threatened by Chen Jun in person, he would definitely be scared and confess everything on the spot.

However, the little lieutenant in front of him, even though his pupils flickered obviously, still withstood the pressure and insisted: "Commander, we are indeed from the directorate. When the exercise started, we left our things at the position without taking them away. This is a serious dereliction of duty.

We were worried that we would be criticized by our superiors, so we thought of having you come and get it privately. Therefore, we did not report it, and the battalion headquarters did not notify you.

Chief, please be merciful. We promise to leave after we get the things and will not hinder you."

The reason the lieutenant gave was indeed very reasonable. He did not report his mistake because he was afraid of being criticized by his superiors. Therefore, the directorate did not notify the Red Army.

If someone was more soft-hearted and didn't see through his trick, they might have been fooled by him.

"As expected, they are able to mobilize the elites of the entire army. The quality of the soldiers is really top-notch. Given time and a reliable brigade commander, the Zhurihe First Blue Army Brigade may really become a terrifying force."

The combat effectiveness of a troop can actually be seen from its soldiers. The quality of the soldiers of the First Blue Army Brigade really made Chen Jun envious.

If the 7th Steel Battalion can be transformed into a Zhurihe unit, Chen Jun is confident that he can build the world's strongest combined brigade.

Unfortunately this is impossible!

Seeing that the fake director's staff were still holding on, Chen Jun decided to give them some strength.

He raised his spirits again and said, "Since you are from the director's office and you can't show me your work ID, then show me your officer ID.

You must carry your officer ID with you during this exercise, and you must have it with you."

The officer's ID card is every officer's identity card. It is as important as the soldier's ID card and has extremely strict management regulations.

Privately making fake officer and soldier certificates is an extremely serious violation of discipline in the military.

Even if it's just a drill, you can't fake it.

Whether the lieutenant officer is from the directorate or not can be known as long as he takes out his officer ID card. For example, any words will be effective.

The lieutenant certainly wouldn't dare to take it out, as that would be irrefutable evidence.

He did not give false testimony.

Faced with Chen Jun's strong and aggressive attitude, the lieutenant could no longer remain as calm as before. His eyes became more evasive and he dared not look Chen Jun in the eye anymore.

But he still made an excuse at the end: "I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring it with me."

"hehe."

Chen Jun sneered twice, pointed at the other three and said, "You three are not going to tell me that you forgot to bring it because you were in a hurry to go out."

The psychological qualities of these three non-commissioned officers are not as good as those of the lieutenants. After all, there is greater suppression between officers and soldiers.

They didn't dare to lie in front of Chen Jun, but they didn't dare to admit that they were not from the director's department. They could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend that they didn't hear it.

Seeing that the other party was about to collapse, Chen Jun threatened, "You guys pretending to be the director is a good idea, but you have too many loopholes, and you underestimated my IQ.

I am 100% sure that you are the Blue Army's scouts.

If you know what’s best for you, you should confess it yourself, otherwise…”

Chen Jun paused at this point, his cold eyes swept across every Blue Army soldier, and threatened sinisterly: "In a confrontation exercise based on actual combat standards, there will inevitably be tricks. If you get hurt, don't blame me, the Red Army, for not giving you a chance."

Yang Wenqing was indeed quite capable. When he heard Chen Jun's words, he immediately started to cooperate.

He gave a look to the soldiers of the Second Company around him, and the sentries here, together with the people brought by Yang Wenqing, a large group of people surrounded him with unfriendly faces.

"No, no, wait."

Seeing that the other party was really going to take action, and it was obvious that he could no longer sneak in to conduct reconnaissance, the Blue Army lieutenant finally got scared, stopped trying, and obediently took out his officer's certificate.

"You are still a little immature if you want to perform 72 transformations in front of Sun Wukong."

Chen Jun patted the lieutenant on the shoulder, took his officer's ID and opened it. The troop organization written on it became the most ironclad evidence.

"Okay, the evidence is already here."

After dealing with this group of counterfeit goods, Chen Jun didn't want to waste any more time here, so he waved his hand and arranged: "Captain Yang, these officer certificates are evidence, you keep them and send them to the battalion headquarters together with the people.

These are the first batch of Blue Army scouts that were captured, and they are definitely not the last. Keep them for now, maybe they will be useful later."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Chen Jun had quickly dealt with the counterfeit goods in just a few moves, Yang Wenqing admired him even more and quickly led his men to clean up the mess.

Chen Jun then returned to the car and contacted Gao Cheng using the in-car communications system, asking him to notify the troops to step up security.

The Blue Army was able to get even the equipment from the director's office, which had already touched Chen Jun's sensitive nerves. God knows what else they could get.

In order to prevent the Blues from stealing our home, it is absolutely necessary to strengthen the vigilance on the front line.
