Chapter 317 Shi Jin is indeed a veteran

As the time for the battle draws closer, the atmosphere on the Red and Blue Army positions becomes increasingly tense.

Although the Blue Army's first reconnaissance team failed, this was not enough for them to give up the reconnaissance, and subsequent reconnaissance was still in full swing.

Soon the second, the third...

The reconnaissance teams that are continuously dispatched will conduct reconnaissance using different means.

Although some of the reconnaissance teams will be captured alive by the Red Army like the first one, the remaining reconnaissance teams will definitely gain something.

The Blue Army has intensive reconnaissance methods, and the Red Army is not far behind.

The two reconnaissance squads sent by the Red Army drove for nearly two hours and maneuvered thirty or forty kilometers before finally arriving at the outer perimeter of the Blue Army's defense line.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Blue Army, both classes chose to approach on foot.

The Red Army did not know where the Blue Army's position was, but Tuo Yonggang and Shi Jin analyzed and inferred the approximate location based on their respective experience.

The exercise theater is about 80 kilometers long and 10 to 20 kilometers wide.

The Red and Blue armies each need a depth of about 20 kilometers for their respective positions, which adds up to 40 kilometers, meaning that the front lines of the two armies are about kilometers apart.

The car stopped after driving for more than thirty kilometers, and it must be about 5 kilometers away from the Blue Army's front line.

As for where the Blue Army’s main position is?
This problem is easier to solve.

The two reconnaissance squads of the Red Army got off the car in the middle, then Shi Jin led the spearhead squad to search to the left, and Tuo Yonggang led the elite squad to search to the right.

The width of the battle zone is at most ten kilometers, which means that each squad is only allocated a few kilometers.

With the individual qualities of the soldiers in these two squads, let alone walking several kilometers to search for the Blue Army's positions, as long as they are given enough time, they will have no problem walking dozens of kilometers.

Taking advantage of the natural cover provided by the night, two squads of the Red Army cautiously infiltrated forward.

The spearhead squad walked forward about three kilometers and was the first to discover the traces of the Blue Army. After some observation and analysis, they confirmed that it was the Blue Army's front-line defense.

"Report to the Iron Factory, this is the sharp knife, the Blue Army's front line position has been discovered, over."

Shi Jin reported the situation of the Blue Army he had discovered to the battalion headquarters via radio.

This infiltration and reconnaissance operation was crucial, so Chen Jun ordered the two reconnaissance squads to contact the battalion headquarters directly without having to pass through the company headquarters.

This will streamline command procedures and allow key intelligence to play a greater role.

"We have found the Blue Army's position. We need to quickly tell the elite class the news and ask them to come over and not continue going that way." Gan Xiaoning suggested.

"it is good!!"

Shi Jin felt that what Gan Xiaoning said made sense and decided to notify the elite class to come over for reconnaissance together.

As a result, the radio that was working fine just now suddenly turned into a brick. When I turned it on, it was full of electrical noise and I couldn't contact the outside world at all.

Shi Jin immediately made a judgment that the signal must have been strongly interfered with.

And their jamming equipment is only stronger than that of the Red Army!
The Blue Army's electronic company reacted so quickly and acted so decisively and efficiently. As soon as the radio was turned on, they immediately carried out electronic interference.

It not only exceeded Shi Jin's expectations, but also exceeded the expectations of everyone in the camp.

The reconnaissance team losing contact is a trivial matter.

The Red Army troops gathered to formally attack the Blue Army, but the communication equipment close to the Blue Army's position was interfered with, and the entire communication system was completely paralyzed. That was a big trouble.

In the past, traditional exercises did not include electronic warfare at all, but it will be one of the core elements of the future informationized battlefield.

During the initial reconnaissance exercise, Old A's electronic warfare skills made all the regiments in the war zone cry for their parents, which left a very deep impression on Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng doesn't want to repeat the same mistake again.

So a phone call was made to the information company, with a strict order that no matter what method was used, front-line communications must be restored before daybreak.

Everyone in the upper and lower levels knew how passive it was to have communications suppressed.

We also know that the highlight of the Information Company lies in this battle.

So the whole company was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and decided to work all night to overcome this difficulty and ensure that the task was completed before dawn.

In the blink of an eye.

The time came to 1 o'clock in the morning.

The Information Company worked hard for several hours and although they had initially found a way to overcome the difficulties, they were still unable to solve the problem.

The side responsible for intercepting the Blue Army's communications was unable to obtain any substantial intelligence.

The Blue Army had long known about the configuration of the 7th Steel Battalion, and had apparently prepared many countermeasures against the 7th Steel Battalion's "Electronic Countermeasures Company."

The information company has no way to obtain intelligence, which means that the Red Army’s only way to obtain intelligence is through ground reconnaissance forces.

All the pressure fell on the two reconnaissance squads!
Unfortunately, the battalion headquarters did not have two reconnaissance squads, and could only hope that the two squads could fight alone and obtain enemy intelligence if they lost contact.

We also have to hope that the information company can overcome the blue army's signal interference before tomorrow morning.

Only by achieving these two points at the same time can the Red Army transform the intelligence it has obtained into effective tactics when the war officially begins at noon tomorrow.

otherwise.

The Red Army, which knew nothing about the Blue Army, had no chance of capturing the Blue Army's position and could only follow in the footsteps of the former and become the fourteenth loser.

However, the two squads that shouldered the heavy responsibility of the entire battalion were in two completely different situations at this time.

"Deputy Captain, something seems to be wrong here. We have been walking for a long time and haven't seen any human figures. Even if the Blue Army can be invisible, they will definitely encounter something."

The lieutenant special forces soldier in the elite squad who was at the front had been scouting for a long time but had gained nothing, which really made him feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, there are too many exercises here and they are too frequent. There are so many traces left on the ground that it is difficult to count them. Trace tracking is of no use at all." Another special forces soldier echoed.

"The most annoying thing is that the communication is also interrupted. The Blue Army must have used interference means. We can't contact the spearhead squad and we don't know what's going on over there." Another team member said.

"The most annoying thing is that there is no map. We don't even know where we are now."

"Oh my god, let's keep our heads down and keep going. Maybe we won't find the Blue Army's position and end up running out of the training ground without even noticing."

……

Everyone in the elite squad talked at once, explaining the current situation in detail.

Tuo Yonggang is the leader of the elite class and he volunteered to join. If he fails to produce something solid this time, he will not be able to go back to see Chen Jun.

Seeing that the elite class was in a dilemma, Tuo Yonggang knew he had to step forward.

"I roughly calculated it."

Tuo Yonggang squatted down and found a small stone. He drew on the ground and said, "We have been separated from the spearhead squad until now. Even though we marched very cautiously and conducted many Z-shaped searches, the distance we walked to the east is no less than five kilometers, and we have penetrated no less than ten kilometers into the hinterland of the Blue Army.

I have walked so far and haven't encountered the Blue Army, not even their sentinels. I think there is no point in going on.

If we continue in this direction, there is a high probability that we will get nothing.

There is still some time before dawn. If we return immediately to search the other side, we will definitely get something before dawn."

Tuo Yonggang's decision was not very bold, but at least it was a bit of a gamble.

At the beginning, they went their separate ways with the spearhead squad, dividing the work and taking their own responsibilities. This was a very clear arrangement. The elite squad continued along this path, and even if they gained nothing, they would not be held responsible. Of course.

There will be no achievement at all, which is equivalent to a wasted trip.

But he turned to the other side halfway. If he could find the Blue Army's position, it would be a win for the gamble, and Tuo Yonggang would be able to get what he wanted.

If the Blue Army's position was not found, the elite squad and Tuo Yonggang would be in trouble.

Because this represents the location of the Blue Army's position, which is in the remaining area that the elite squad has not searched, all responsibility must be borne by Tuo Yonggang.

The Red Army's offensive rhythm was delayed due to the failure to find the Blue Army's main position in time.

This pot is not small!
Not much else.

Tuo Yonggang will definitely be fired quickly before he even gets warm to the position of deputy company commander.

Tuo Yonggang dared to gamble with his own future. On the one hand, he really needed good results to secure his position as deputy company commander. On the other hand, it was also based on his personal experience and judgment.

Even if it is not 100% certain, it will not be less than 70%.

If you have 50% certainty of winning a battle, you can fight it. If you have 70% certainty of betting on your future, Tuo Yonggang will definitely take a gamble.

And it turns out...

Tuo Yonggang made the right bet!

Shi Jin and his group from the Red Army's spearhead squad did not know about Tuo Yonggang's decision, and compared to Tuo Yonggang, they were luckier.

After a cautious infiltration throughout the first half of the night, the spearhead squad successfully discovered the traces of the Blue Army.

The reconnaissance squad was divided into three reconnaissance groups. After nearly half an hour of multi-point reconnaissance and summary, Shi Jin finally obtained accurate intelligence.

That is the Blue Army that we see before us, which is definitely the Blue Army’s frontline defense.

In order to find out how many lines of defense the Blue Army has and what kind of troops are deployed in each line of defense, while ensuring that they are not caught in one fell swoop.

Shi Jin decided to make multiple preparations.

Leaving three people at the first line of defense will keep an eye on it and find out how many tanks and infantry are hidden in this area.

At the same time, they monitored the Blue Army on the first line of defense and recorded their every move.

Because they were conducting reconnaissance close to the Blue Army's first line of defense, and had to remain undetected after daybreak, they could continue to monitor the Blue Army.

How the three of them survived became the biggest problem.

This area is a desert grassland with no large shelters on the ground, only low weeds that cannot block people.

Even if you are wearing a ghillie suit, you can't hide there for a long time.

So Shi Jin thought of a solution for them.

He deliberately picked a location with a relatively wide view and not too conspicuous, selected a small sunken pit, and continued to dig down.

Cover it with a layer of camouflage cloth and then cover it with weeds or something like that.

Build it into a fixed reconnaissance point where three people can hide inside without being discovered by outsiders and survive for a long time.

After Shi Jin led his men to help build the cover, he led the rest of the people to go deeper.

Take greater risks and infiltrate to conduct reconnaissance.

Based on his experience, Shi Jin judged that the Blue Army could not have set up only one line of defense. There must be one or even two lines of defense inside to protect the Blue Army's main position.

Therefore, only three people are placed in the first line of defense, and the rest are placed in the rear line of defense.

In this way, even if there are two more lines of defense behind him, with a three-person team deployed at each line for reconnaissance, he will be able to fight alone in the end.

If a single person infiltrates deep into the enemy's hinterland and is able to survive, find the main position, and figure out the organization of the Blue Army, that would definitely be a huge profit.

Even if they failed to be discovered by the Blues, the three groups in front still continued to exert their strength.

It can definitely provide great help to the Red Army when it launches an attack, allowing the Red Army to take down the Blue Army's defense lines faster and with less effort.

Shi Jin's idea is very good, and this method is calm and sophisticated enough.

It fits Shi Jin's personality perfectly!

Because the spearhead squad was very careful throughout the entire process, they did not make any excessive noise, and even dug up the soil carefully with a shovel.

He was very careful when he came here. He deliberately found all the sentries, both visible and hidden, and used some means to avoid them all.

Therefore, the Blue Army did not realize at all that a reconnaissance squad of the Red Army had crossed a distance of dozens of kilometers and had already arrived right under their noses.

Everything is still normal, just do what you need to do.

however.

Although the Blue Army did not discover the reconnaissance squad, Shi Jin's plan did not go smoothly.

After all, plans cannot keep up with changes.

The battlefield changes rapidly, no one can predict what will happen in the next second, and Shi Jin's plan is only limited to the present.

Shi Jin took the remaining six people and continued to advance through the Blue Army's first line of defense.

Relying on a little moonlight to grope forward, it took more than an hour to advance about 2 kilometers and found the Blue Army's second line of defense.

Shi Jin was very happy to see that his judgment was so accurate.

They were prepared to follow suit, leaving three people to hide here as "human surveillance" while the rest passed through the second line of defense and continued to advance.

But just when they found a suitable location and dug a shelter, they were ready to send in the second group of people.

Originally, like the Blue Army's first line of defense, there was basically no moving objects on the second line of defense except for the moving sentinels.

Suddenly, two tarpaulin trucks drove up from the rear and turned off all the lights in their own positions.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
This strange behavior attracted Shi Jin's attention.

I had to lead the team to lie in ambush on the spot and find out what these two tarpaulin trucks that came out late at night without turning on the lights were going to do.

Wait a few minutes.

Two trucks drove over from behind the Blue Army, one of which stopped at the second line of defense, and more than twenty Blue Army soldiers got off the truck.

They were divided into two groups and walked in two directions. It was too dark at night to see what they were holding.

The remaining truck continued to move forward, but its direction was not towards the first line of defense, but towards the left flank of the second line of defense.

"What are these Blues going to do?"

The sixth sense that Shi Jin had developed from his years of military service told him strongly that this group of Blue Army soldiers were going to cause trouble, and that it would be extremely disadvantageous to the Red Army.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to sneak out and do it in the middle of the night.
