Chapter 318 Sun Dongping's tricks
Chapter 318 Sun Dongping's tricks
The fact that the Blue Army used electronic jamming on its own front line proved that the Blue Army had clearly confirmed that Red Army scouts had arrived near the front line.
The reason they chose to carry out the operation in the middle of the night was definitely to avoid surveillance by the Red Army scouts.
In order to find out what the Blue Army was going to do, Shi Jin had to suspend the previous plan and concentrate on investigating this group of mysterious Blue Army first.
"You two go over there, leave this to me."
After Shi Jin whispered the task, the spearhead squad was divided into four parts.
Gan Xiaolin was responsible for leading his men to monitor the first line of defense, Bai Tiejun was responsible for leading his men to monitor the second line of defense, Xie Chong led his men to follow the blue army on the left, and Shi Jin led his men to track the blue army on the flank.
Although the desert steppe has many undulating terrain, it is not covered by large herbs and shrubs.
Therefore, Shi Jin and his men did not dare to follow too closely, let alone stand up and run all the way on the road. They could only choose the back of the hillside or the ravine under the shadow of the moonlight.
Although this kind of tracking is tiring, it is indeed more covert and safer.
The Blues didn’t discover him at all during the whole process!
Even though the Blue Army seemed to have a certain anti-reconnaissance awareness and had several brief observations during the march, they did not discover the Red Army scouts following behind them.
Thinking that he was not being targeted by the Red Army scouts, he followed the orders and headed straight for his destination.
The Blue Army that Shi Jin was tracking was driving a car, but there was no way to catch up in a short time, so he could only follow the traces on the ground.
Xie Chong was tracking the Blue Army on foot and figured out their intentions first.
The Blue Army got out of the car and walked about two hundred meters forward, coming to a very open area, took out the things they brought and started to work.
When Xie Chong saw that the Blue Army troops had stopped, he and his companions immediately crawled forward in a low posture.
The two men lay on the ground like a caterpillar, crawling forward for about sixty or seventy meters, and finally stopped less than fifty meters away from the Blue Army.
With the help of the not very bright moonlight and the close distance between the two sides.
Xie Chong finally understood!
The Blue Army troops were armed with pickaxes and shovels. They drew a circle with extremely professional techniques, then lifted up the entire surface of the ground along the edge of the circle, dug out the soil underneath, and placed a bulging object inside.
Then sprinkle a layer of loose soil on it, and finally cover the lifted iron sheet.
The excavated soil was put into bags, leaving no traces at the original location. Not to mention in the middle of the night, even during the day nothing unusual could be seen.
As a professional scout, Xie Chong is very familiar with this set of movements.
This is the standard laying of anti-tank mines!
Moreover, he carefully identified all the blue troops and recorded the locations of the mines laid by each blue soldier accurately in a notebook with pencil.
Xie Chong found that they had arranged it in a very orderly manner, leaving only one path in the middle.
"This place is not the main attack route. The Red Army will not attack from this side. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort to lay minefields here?"
Xie Chong couldn't understand the Blue Army's operations, so he could only record what needed to be recorded and continue to monitor this group of Blue Army.
Try to understand their intentions.
However, this group of blue troops stayed here for a long time, and the minefield they set up was very large, so large that a tank company would be wiped out if it came in.
"Could it be that the commander of the Blue Army speculated that our Red Army, under the command of the deputy battalion commander, would take an unconventional approach? So he predicted our tactics in advance and laid a minefield here to make the Red Army suffer a great loss?"
Xie Chong suddenly became nervous when he thought of this, because Chen Jun’s tactics were indeed known for being unconventional.
If other battalion commanders commanded the tank company to attack, they would definitely take the easier route, but if Chen Jun was in charge, he might really take this detour.
"If the Blue Army is right in their bet, then our Red Army will be in trouble. The minefield is so large that if we lose an entire tank company, it will be a disaster."
The more Xie Chong thought about it, the more frightened he became. He wanted to report this important information to the battalion headquarters immediately as a precaution.
However, the radio was jammed and could not be used, so no matter how anxious Xie Cong was, he had no way to transmit the information back in a short period of time.
"If the communication is not restored before daybreak, we will have no choice but to take the risk and make a trip."
Xie Chong didn't want to watch the tank company destroyed, so he came up with a plan on his own initiative. He would go through the two Blue Army defense lines again and have someone send the intelligence back.
Even though doing so would involve a huge risk of exposure, he had to take the risk and try it.
The Blue Army troops that Xie Chong was tracking were actually the Blue Army's engineers. Their purpose of coming out late at night was to lay a hidden minefield.
On the other side, Shi Jin chased for nearly half an hour and finally caught up with another group of blue troops.
Because walking is much slower than driving, when he brought his men over, the Blues were already in place, and more than twenty Blues were busy.
Shi Jin quietly walked over to take a look and immediately understood their intention.
Also laying a minefield!
What's more, the position they deployed was even more strange. It was far away from the Blue Army's first and second lines of defense and seemed to have nothing to do with the position.
Without the Blues' detailed topographic map, one would have thought they were a bunch of fools.
Fortunately, Shi Jin has rich experience in reconnaissance, and drawing topographic maps is very easy for him. He can know most of the information with just one glance.
Before, Shi Jin was still curious about the deployment of the Blue Army, why it was such a tough layout.
The ultimate emotional trick is here!
If this Blue Army engineers had not been discovered, or if Shi Jin had not risked following them for reconnaissance, an irreparable disaster would have occurred.
Assuming that Shi Jin has not discovered the Blue Army engineers, continue to investigate the Blue Army's troop organization in depth.
Then he successfully learned all the information about the Blue Army's organization, the location of the main position, the deployment of the front line, etc., and finally brought it all back to the Red Army battalion headquarters.
Then, based on the intelligence collected, the Red Army will discover that the Blue Army's flank defenses are empty.
Overjoyed!
Thinking that this was an opportunity to break through the Blue Army, they immediately dispatched a tank company to launch a surprise attack on the Blue Army from here, attempting to directly kill the Blue Army's main position from here.
As a result, they will fall into the Blue Army's trap and fall headfirst into the minefield set by the Blue Army late at night.
If a tank company entered an anti-tank minefield on the Blue Army's position, even if they were not blown up on the spot, they would be trapped inside and unable to get out.
The engineers were unable to clear the mines, and the consequences can be imagined.
The sudden attack of armed helicopters, the attack of heavy artillery, the approach of infantry...
There are countless ways to destroy a tank company!
Even if Shi Jin hadn't watched it, he could guess that the twelve teams that had lost to the Blues before must have suffered huge losses like this.
Sun Dongping, who is cunning in his dealings with people, is also cunning in his battlefield strategies.
Be a little less cautious.
You might really fall into his trap.
"No wonder so many troops ahead of us can't win. There are traps everywhere. I have to find a way to send the intelligence back quickly."
Shi Jin was really a little worried. The Blue Army's methods were too dark.
He had just come over and entered the Blue Army's position, and the dark tactics he had seen were already so tricky. Wouldn't there be even more tricks that he hadn't seen?
Shi Jin has to take it seriously!
Unfortunately, Shi Jin was frightened by what he saw before him. No matter how anxious he was, it was meaningless. He faced the same situation as Xie Chong and had no way to contact the Red Army.
"what can we do about it?"
As the leader of the spearhead squad, Shi Jin had to consider more than Xie Chong. His thoughts were so mixed that he frowned.
Shi Jin was overwhelmed by the Blue Army's deployment, but the anxiety of that night was far from over.
Neither the flank blue army on Shi Jin's side nor the frontline blue army on Xie Chong's side returned after deploying the first area.
Instead, in the next three hours, they continuously moved to multiple areas to deploy minefields, and the locations of the minefields were more tricky than the last.
The Blue Army's three positions, one main and two deputy, used these minefields and their main forces to form a tight iron bucket formation.
If we cannot bring back this key information and the locations of these minefields to the Red Army.
Shi Jin couldn't imagine how much damage these minefields would cause when the Red Army rushed over and attacked the Blue Army's positions after the war broke out.
As Shi Jin became increasingly anxious, the sky in the east gradually began to turn pale.
sky……
It’s almost light!
The lights in the Red Army camp were on all night long, but all the officers had bloodshot eyes because they had not been able to get communications right.
Gao Cheng even turned into a "death officer", sending messages and making calls every half an hour on average.
I beat more than a dozen of them in one night.
It’s even more exaggerated than Yue Fei issuing twelve imperial edicts in a row.
The entire information company fought hard all night long under tremendous pressure, and all of them suffered from "red-eye disease". Fortunately, they finally got some results.
The Blue Army has the Central YJ Committee as its backing and is definitely the most information-based force at this stage.
The electromagnetic interference equipment must be the best in the entire army.
Although the 7th Steel Battalion also has electronic warfare units, their equipment is certainly not as advanced as the former, and they are definitely no match for the former in a head-on confrontation.
The information company had already used various positive methods in the first half of the night.
Needless to say, the result is tragic.
Chen Jun knew that the Information Company had been fighting on the front line, and he was well aware that with the equipment of the Information Company of the 7th Steel Battalion, it would definitely not be able to defeat the wealthy Blue Army in a frontal battle.
All we have are wooden ships, how can they defeat steel ships head-on?
In order to restore the communications of the Red Army Command, Chen Jun had to go to the information company in person and call a meeting of the company commander and a group of technicians.
The core of the meeting is one -
The right path is definitely not going to work, so if you want to break the impasse you have to take the side road.
Take a different path from the wild road.
While giving the information company a new operational direction, Chen Jun also indirectly told the information company about the experience he had accumulated over many years of military service.
Even if Chen Jun didn't understand information warfare, at least he had eaten pork even though he had seen pigs run.
Various experience cases are very inspiring.
Under the leadership of deputy battalion commander Chen Jun, the information company completely changed its combat thinking and began to try what Chen Jun called unconventional ways to break the deadlock.
The whole night was spent trying various tricks to find a way to bypass the Blues' interference.
After the efforts of nearly a hundred people in one night, this tough bone was finally gnawed by combining two unconventional methods.
Information used two methods in succession to simultaneously restrain the Blue Army's communication interference.
The first method is to "set a false target".
A fake command post was set up behind the Red Army's own lines, concentrating all shortwave and ultrashortwave radio stations controlled by the information company to issue a large amount of command information.
They also launched a frenzied attack on the Blue Army, acting as if they were ready to fight a "death battle" with the Blue Army's information forces.
The Blue Army only sent out a battalion-level unit. No matter how advanced the equipment of its electronic warfare company was, its organization could never exceed one company.
With only one company in organization, the equipment and facilities would not be much more than that of the Red Army.
As long as the Information Company takes out all its belongings, it will definitely be able to contain the Blue Army's interference force, even if it is completely suppressed by the Blue Army due to its backward equipment.
As long as we can hold it back, that's enough!
The Blue Army's jamming force was attracted here and started an electronic confrontation with the Red Army in this area, so the Blue Army had no jamming force targeting the Red Army's command system.
The Red Army’s command and communications were able to successfully “escape”.
After completing the first step and attracting the Blue Army's main interference force, this is not a complete solution, but only half of the solution.
Because the Blue Army’s communication equipment is too powerful, it can intercept the Red Army’s communication signals at any time.
If the Blue Army discovered through intercepting the Red Army's command communications that it had been engaging in a battle of wits with a false target, it would surely react and redeploy.
All the efforts made at that time will be in vain.
and so.
In order to avoid being discovered and "tricked" by the Blue Army, the Information Company came up with a second "deviant" trick.
Having all the companies below use fixed frequency is equivalent to turning the communications of the eight companies into part of the bait, further tying down the Blue Army's communication reconnaissance capabilities.
Only the battalion headquarters' communications were all switched to frequency hopping to avoid Blue Army's surveillance to the greatest extent possible.
Screen hopping can change the communication frequency at a certain rate and regularly on multiple frequencies within a certain range, and has strong anti-interference ability.
The Blue Army's electronic company was distracted in many places and got into a life-and-death battle with the fake target.
There will definitely not be enough spare resources to invest a large amount of equipment and manpower in frequency hopping, and the probability of discovering the trick is extremely small.
When the sky in the east began to turn pale, the information company officially began to execute the "escape plan".
All the shortwave and ultra-shortwave radio stations were concentrated, and as soon as the specially built "fake command center" appeared, the Blue Army's electronic countermeasure forces smelled the scent and came.
Under the deliberate and constant provocation of the fake headquarters, the arrogant Blue Army fell into the trap.
The fight with the fake command center began!
The battalion headquarters had been prepared long ago. Under the personal command of Chen Jun, the battalion headquarters' radio switched to frequency hopping and began trying to contact the reconnaissance squad that had been deep behind enemy lines and had been out of contact for more than ten hours.
"Calling the sharp knife, calling the sharp knife, this is the arsenal, please reply if you get it."
Sharp Knife is the code name for the Sharp Knife Squad, and Arsenal is the code name for the Red Army Battalion Headquarters. The code names are used to confuse the Blue Army so that they cannot determine which unit of the Red Army it belongs to.
As Chen Jun personally took the microphone and made the call, the entire battalion fell into a tense atmosphere.
Everyone was so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe, and all their eyes were focused on Chen Jun.
If they have achieved this and still cannot contact the lost reconnaissance squad, it will definitely be bad news for the Red Army.
Every second of waiting feels like a year, and everyone is nervous all the time.
But after waiting for nearly five seconds, no sound came from the radio, just like the past ten hours last night.
"Did it fail?"
Thinking of this unacceptable result, some people's hearts sank to the bottom.
But at this critical moment.
"hiss~"
The radio station, which had been unresponsive, heard two obvious electrical noises.
