Chapter 321 The Blues suffered a heavy blow

The Blue Army sent out a mobile defense team to harass. No matter how you analyze it, it seems that it was just to support and cover the rear of the front-line troops.

There are no flaws at all!
In order to further intensify the harassment and cooperate with the mobile defense team's cover operation, the Blue Army once again dispatched two armed helicopters.

In order to protect the armed helicopters from being attacked, the Blue Army's heavy artillery demonstrated its powerful force for the first time.

Not only did they attack the Red Army's offensive forces, but they also carried out carpet bombing on areas where the Red Army's air defense forces might be located.

Forcibly suppress the Red Army's anti-aircraft firepower and ensure the safety of our own armed helicopters.

Under this series of tactical combinations of arms, the main force of the Blue Army behind the Blue Army's first line of defense was not chased all the way by the Red Army and retreated safely to the second line of defense.

The mobile defense team, which was responsible for the cover mission, also began to retreat to the second line of defense.

The Red Army's pursuit was disrupted, and the opportunity to strike hard at the Blue Army was lost, causing one and a half tank companies of the Blue Army to return to the second line of defense.

If no one takes this opportunity to eliminate them, it will be even more difficult to eliminate them in the future.

Gao Cheng was really angry!
"Chase, chase them! The Blue Army is like a loach, running around everywhere in a slippery manner. I will not be able to sleep or eat well unless I defeat this army. We must chase them and kill them.

Pass on my order, the 3rd Infantry Company shall pursue at full speed, and the heavy artillery shall provide long-range cover, and they must be intercepted before the Blue Army's second line of defense.

The first armored company charged at the fastest speed, and the third company attacked from the front and back to swallow it up."

Gao Cheng didn't want to be harassed by the Blue Army's mobile team in the subsequent attacks, so he decided to take advantage of the fact that they were alone and eliminate the threat permanently in one fell swoop.

Chen Jun felt something was wrong.

According to the current battle situation on the front line, the Blue Army's mobile defense team could have left long ago, and there was no need to stay here until now and fall behind alone.

Moreover, the Blue Army's mobile defense units are all lightly armored and can maneuver very quickly on the grassland.

If they really wanted to quickly get out of the battle, they would be able to shake off the Red Army soon, and would not be in the situation where they were being bitten and unable to get rid of it like they are now.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

However, the Blue Army is just an isolated unit and poses no threat to the main force of the Blue Army. What is their intention in deliberately keeping the main force of the Red Army hanging?
Chen Jun can’t think of it yet!

In addition, the order issued by Gao Cheng was very reasonable. He used the faster maneuvering speed of the infantry company and armored vehicles to catch up, delaying or even intercepting the Blue Army's mobile defense team.

Coupled with the support of long-range heavy artillery, the Blue Army's mobile defense team was forced to avoid marching.

Unable to march in a straight line, speed will decrease.

The Red Army's tanks will be able to catch up with them. As long as the tank company can catch up with the Blue Army's mobile defense unit, they will definitely be defeated in a frontal battle.

The main tank company's frontal impact combat capability is absolutely the strongest in ground combat.

The Blue Army Mobile Team can't possibly win!

So Chen Jun didn't say much at this time, nor did he stop the series of orders issued by the top leaders. He decided to wait and see the situation.

Gao Cheng is the battalion commander of the 7th Steel Battalion after all, so Chen Jun still has to give him a certain amount of authority and face.

This was a rare opportunity for Gao Cheng to take the initiative to issue an order, and it was also the first time he had formally issued an order since the war began, but Chen Jun immediately rejected it.

Even if Gao Cheng does not hold a grudge against Chen Jun for this, it will be detrimental to the development of the entire camp.

As a veteran who has served in the army for several generations, Chen Jun has a mature set of ideas on how to maintain good interpersonal relationships within the army.

It is impossible for him to ignore the battalion commander Gao Cheng just because he is the supreme commander.

Arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and arrogance will lead to death.

This is not nonsense!

The Red Army companies fighting on the front line were also annoyed by the Blue Army's mobile defense units that were always hovering nearby but they could do nothing about it.

Now that they have received the orders from Gao Cheng, they are all like they have taken stimulants.

All the infantry fighting vehicles of the Third Infantry Company were running at full horsepower, rumbling with thick black smoke coming out of their rear ends, and they rushed towards the fleeing Blue Army air defense unit like hungry wolves.

Huang Yang, who was of the same kind as Gao Cheng, also gave a death order in order to take the credit.

Order all the tanks to change direction, lock onto the Blue Army's air defense team and chase them quickly, regardless of the cost, and catch up as quickly as possible.

The heavy artillery company received the coordinates sent back from the front line and began to put pressure on the Blue Army's air defense team.

"Bang bang bang..."

One cannonball after another pierced the air.

The directorate, equipped with an information-based exercise system, immediately converted the relevant analysis data into casualties and transmitted it to the Blue Army Air Defense Squadron in almost real time.

Realizing that they were under artillery attack from the Red Army, the air defense unit had to make a tactical evasive move.

From a straight line to an irregular S movement.

In order to avoid artillery shells, the maneuvering route was longer, which gave the infantry fighting vehicles of the 3rd Armored Infantry Company many opportunities to continuously shorten the distance between them.

but.

After all, both sides are driving bulky armored vehicles, and even at their maximum speed, they are only around 40 to 50 kilometers per hour, so it is not easy to catch up.

What's more, the Blues were still doing something intentional and didn't go as fast as possible.

Instead, he maintained a distance that was about to catch the enemy, but just a little bit short, causing the pursuing Red Army to scratch their heads.

In this chase and escape, ten minutes passed quickly.

at this time.

When Chen Jun was sorting out the intelligence sent back from the front line and discovered the evacuation route of the Blue Army's air defense team, he suddenly discovered a shocking secret.

That was the direction the Blue Army Air Defense Team was moving, and it turned out to be the minefield discovered by the spearhead squad last night.

At that time, everyone in the battalion was still curious about why the Blue Army set up such a large minefield on a path that was obviously not an attack path.

The Red Army doesn't even need to go through there when they attack, so wouldn't it be a waste of time to set up a minefield?
At that time, no one had figured out why the Blue Army was there. Now, based on Chen Jun's evacuation route of the air defense team, a big guess came to his mind.

"Could it be that the Blue Army had a plan in advance, waiting for the Red Army to break through the first line of defense, and then pretending to be defeated and retreating, leading our armored forces into the minefield and eating up our entire armored company in one fell swoop?"

Chen Jun's thoughts flashed rapidly in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

The Red Army originally had only two armored companies. If one of them was trapped in the Blue Army's minefield, it would be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack to capture the Blue Army's main position.

You have to know that the Blue Army has three armored companies and a complete armored infantry company.

It also has an absolute advantage on the defensive side.

The Red Army, with only one armored company and two infantry companies and a bunch of logistical troops left, literally had no chance of winning.

"Sun Dongping is still the same as always. He likes to use this kind of tricks. He wants to trap my entire tank company in a minefield. He has such a big ambition. Only he dares to think of it."

Chen Jun had basically confirmed the Blue Army's trick. Seeing that the pursuit troops were less than one kilometer away from the minefield, he immediately told Gao Cheng and others about it.

When everyone in the battalion learned of the Blue Army's intentions, they were all frightened out of their wits by the Blue Army's vicious plan.

The first thought was to stop the pursuit immediately!

If they fell into the trap set by the Blue Army, the tank company could survive as it was far behind, but the third armored infantry company would most likely be dead. A group of armored vehicles were trapped in the Blue Army's position, and they would become sitting ducks for the artillery.

They will be wiped out in a few minutes.

"We have to stop the pursuit for sure. We can't just rush forward foolishly. However, we can't just let the Blue Army set a trap for nothing. The Blue Army can come and go as it pleases. Is there such a good thing in the world?"

The corners of Chen Jun's mouth raised sharply, with a murderous intent that made people's scalp tingle.

Chen Jun is an expert at using dirty tricks.

Sun Dongping is just a little brother in front of Chen Jun.

If the Blue Army dares to use the air defense unit as bait in an attempt to swallow up a company of the Red Army, then Chen Jun must give him a big gift to take back.

"Pass my order..."

Chen Jun was determined to teach the Blue Army's air defense unit a lesson, but he only issued three orders.

The first order was for the pursuing troops to continue the pursuit, and when they heard the explosion ahead, they should stop the pursuit and stay where they were.

"Explosion ahead?"

The pursuing Red Army troops couldn't understand what Chen Jun was up to.

The second order was to give the spearhead squad the monitoring point, and when the blue army troops entered the minefield and prepared to cross it, immediately report the situation to the battalion headquarters.

The third order was sent to the heavy artillery company.

They ordered all the artillery of the heavy artillery company to load and fire, aiming at the coordinates given to them by Chen Jun, which was the exact location of the minefield, and wait for Chen Jun's follow-up orders.

After Chen Jun issued the three orders, most of the Red Army battalions began to revolve around them.

A few minutes later.

The Blue Army's air defense team had no idea that their plan had been discovered by Chen Jun in advance, and instead they fell into Chen Jun's plan.

Still following the plan deployed in advance by Sun Dongping, the entire team entered the minefield in an orderly manner.

Because the minefield was deployed in a very regular pattern, a safe passage was reserved in advance. Even if it was only two meters wide, it was enough for the Blue Army convoy to pass safely.

The Red Army did not know the location of the safe passage, and would inevitably fall into a minefield if they tried to catch up.

The plan was indeed flawless.

Unfortunately, the prerequisite is that they must not be discovered. They have deployed a minefield in this place in advance. Once discovered, the plan will be ruined.

Originally, even if the plan failed, there would be no loss to the Blues.

At most, it's a missed opportunity.

However, now Chen Jun not only saw through the plan, but also fully utilized his enchanting intelligence and used the same trick against him.

Since you want to avoid the landmine and run over it, I will offer to help you.

Just when all the air defense teams entered the minefield, the first group of the spearhead squad reported the situation here back according to Chen Jun's order.

When Chen Jun learned that the air defense team had entered the battlefield, he immediately sent a brief order to the heavy artillery company:

"fire!!"

"Boom bang bang..."

The heavy artillery company's cannons roared together, and the shells whistled straight into the sky.

The air defense team suffered immediately. A large number of simulated mines in the minefield were triggered, emitting billowing white smoke, and vehicles in the range were also triggered to emit smoke.

"What? When the air defense team was passing through a minefield, they were suddenly attacked by the Red Army's fierce artillery fire. A large number of mines were triggered by the explosion, resulting in heavy losses for the team? Almost half of the troops were lost in it?"

When Sun Dongping received the notice from the director's office, his blood rushed to his head and he felt like his head was buzzing.

Anxious, angry and unacceptable.

He almost broke the table in front of him.

The plot, which was carefully planned with great effort, failed to achieve its goal and caused huge losses to the Red Army, and instead lost half of his own company of troops.

The gap between imagination and reality is so huge that no one can accept it.

In contrast to Sun Dongping, who was so angry that his face turned blue, looking uglier than if he had eaten a pound of shit, the Red Army was happier than during the New Year.

"This damn Blue Army actually set a trap and waited for us to fall into it. Fortunately, the deputy battalion commander Niu saw through their tracks, otherwise when we caught up with them, we would all be killed in it."

When the commander of the 3rd Armored Infantry Company saw the white smoke rising into the sky ahead, he felt excited but also a little scared.

"Old Chen, it has to be you. This move of turning the tables is simply too brilliant. You swallowed up half of the Blue Army in one gulp. I think the guy surnamed Sun must have turned green with anger, haha."

Gao Cheng was not a man who knew how to restrain himself. He acted cute when he got the advantage. His laughter resounded throughout the camp.
The entire battalion in front pressed forward and fought for a long time without killing a single company of the Blue Army. However, Chen's army only used a few words to kill half of the Blue Army company in one go.

No one here can compare to such amazing operation and battlefield control.

Let everyone be convinced!
The diligent and studious student Man Guangzhi immediately took out his own little notebook and started writing, recording Chen Jun's amazing operation in detail.

I have now finished writing more than half of this two-centimeter thick notebook.

It can be seen how much valuable knowledge and experience Man Guangzhi learned in the 7th Steel Battalion, and how great a benefit it has brought to his personal improvement.

With the great success of "turning the tables", the Blues' first line of defense was officially declared completely lost.

The battle has entered the second stage!

"Attention all units, I am Chen Jun. I declare that Operation Wild Wolf II has now officially begun." Chen Jun issued a new combat order to the entire battalion.

"Operation Wolf II" is also a pseudonym, representing a complete set of combat plans.

It is a series of deployments and arrangements that the Red Army needs to make after taking down the Blue Army’s first line of defense and before attacking the Blue Army’s second line of defense.

These include but are not limited to:

All engineering platoons entered the front line and conducted a comprehensive inspection between the first and second lines of defense to identify and clear all minefields.

If there is not enough time to clear the minefield, just mark the surrounding area to frame it.

When subsequent Red Army troops attack, they can avoid the minefield in advance by seeing the marks, and there will be no danger if they do not enter the minefield.

The supply platoon needs to come up to provide support and replenish ammunition and fuel for the attacking company.

Ensure that there is enough endurance to engage in the subsequent attack on the Confederate Army's second line of defense and the general attack on the Blue Army's main position.

It also includes the battalion headquarters summarizing the previous battles, adjusting the deployment for the next battle, etc.

This series of things, which would have taken at least ten minutes just to stand there and explain them to each different company, was condensed into six words: "Operation Wild Wolf II."

The advantages of military codes in combat are fully demonstrated at this moment.
