Chapter 349 Playing with two reinforced regiments!
"Lao Gao, what you said reminds me of a saying." Chen Jun said with a smile.

"What?" Gao Cheng asked curiously.

"The boy who slayed the dragon back then has now become a dragon. It's really interesting to think about it." Chen Jun was quite touched.

"That's a good description, that's a good word."

Gao Cheng understood Chen Jun's description in seconds, but he said with a frank and confident face: "We were able to be dragon-slaying teenagers back then, but these bears can't. They are still too young to slay our dragon, haha."

Don't blame Gao Cheng for speaking so arrogantly, it's because he has the qualifications to be arrogant now.

No matter who controls such a powerful battalion as the 7th Steel Battalion, whose strength is enough to be invincible among the same level, if he hesitates for a second, he is a coward, and if he does not go crazy to the sky, he is restrained.

"Lao Gao, confidence is a good thing, but you can't be careless."

Gao Cheng can act as crazy as he wants, it doesn't matter since he is not in command, so the impact won't be big. As the core CPU, Chen Jun must stay calm at all times.

Then he began to discuss with Gao Cheng how to carry out the exercise next.

The camp deployment was being monitored by Man Guangzhi and his staff team, so the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander didn't need to be involved at all. The two had plenty of time to discuss.

Each company under the 7th Steel Battalion has extremely strong independence and autonomy.

There is no need for the battalion headquarters to make specific arrangements. As long as the battalion headquarters issues the order to station, they can make their own arrangements and find a suitable place to set up camp.

Less than half an hour.

The eight companies each selected a suitable location and led their troops to deploy, spreading out within a two-kilometer radius under the cover of the mountainous jungle terrain.

Unlike the desert plains of Inner Mongolia, the mountains have fewer locations suitable for deploying mechanized troops.

Armored tanks cannot run to the mountains and set up camp like infantry. In a terrain full of mountains, they can only find advantageous positions at the foot of the mountains.

Therefore, the deployment area in the highland jungle is much larger than that in the plains.

The 8th Steel Battalion completed its deployment at around 40:, and each company took its position and waited for orders, taking the time to adjust its armaments and be ready for battle at any time.

9 o'clock exactly!
"The Vostok 2000 strategic exercise begins now."

The Russian military directorate almost kept track of the clock and issued the order to start the exercise to the red and blue armies participating in the exercise through communication equipment on time.

Not to mention the other training grounds, that was a war between warships and submarine monsters.

As the only army combat training ground, the training ground where the Chugor training ground is located has attracted more attention from the directorate.

Not only the delegation from China gathered at the viewing center of the Chugor exercise branch.

Even the Russian army sent a lieutenant general.

As the defensive force of this exercise, the Blue Army dispatched troops to the frontline positions to organize defense as soon as the exercise began.

In order to resist the Red Army's attack, the Blue Army's commander-in-chief really put in a lot of effort.

As the main firepower point in the rear, the artillery regiment was divided into several parts and deployed to the positions under a series of orders from the Blue Army commander-in-chief.

The motorized infantry regiment was the only unit that could go up the mountain and became the main force in defending the position.

Under the arrangement of the Blue Army commander-in-chief, they rushed to the various high ground on the front line to garrison, and as soon as they arrived at the position, they began to build various fortifications and defensive measures.

Including but not limited to barbed wire interdiction, minefields, trenches and anti-tank pits, etc.

It can be foreseen that as long as they are given enough time, they will be able to build a solid line of defense on the high ground at the forefront of the battlefield by relying on the terrain advantage.

The tank regiment was deployed behind the front-line high ground, in the buffer zone between the front and rear mountains and forests.

Tanks can only play their advantages on flat ground. Once they go up the mountain, they are restricted by the slope and the obstruction of trees and basically become targets of anti-tank fire.

And deploying tanks behind infantry garrison positions is indeed a brilliant move.

Thus.

If the front-line high ground is attacked by the Red Army, the Blue Army tanks can attack from both sides of the foot of the mountain at any time and strike the Red Army attacking the high ground from the side.

Not only can it effectively help friendly forces defend high ground, but it can also become the Red Army's most taboo existence.

Even if we take a step back.

Once the Red Army's front-line high ground was captured by a powerful attack, the tank troops stationed in the rear could move forward and become the second line of defense to intercept the Red Army.

While intercepting the Red Army, it can also cover the retreat of its own Blue Army and form a defense again on the mountain behind.

If the Red Army dared to charge down the mountain and attack the Blue Army's tank clusters that formed lines of defense, the Blue Army could also call for artillery support from the rear.

The Red Army rushing down from the back of the mountain was completely exposed to the frontal firing range of the Blue Army's artillery.

There is no blind spot.

The Blue Army tanks can not only cover all the Red Army infantry, but also attack the Red Army tanks that are bypassing the foot of the mountain, posing a fatal threat to the Red Army.

On the other hand, if the Red Army's heavy artillery wants to attack the Blue Army, it will be limited by the blind spot of the reverse slope, and the coverage rate will be greatly reduced.

The Blues' three-stage vertical echelon deployment in front, middle and back seems simple but is closely linked. It can be said to be a top-level layout that can both attack and defend.

It's simply wonderful!
The overall layout of the Blue Army is very good, and it is extremely effective in restraining the Red Army troops with similar arms. It really highlights the saying that one’s own people know oneself best.

Only the 7th Steel Battalion was an outlier in the exercise, and the Blue Army was unfamiliar with the 7th Steel Battalion's playing style and tactics.

but.

Although the Blue Army was unfamiliar with China's 7th Steel Battalion, they did not take it too seriously.

In such a large-scale exercise involving tens of thousands of people, the role of a battalion of only a few hundred people will be greatly weakened no matter how strong its combat effectiveness is.

The commander-in-chief of the Blue Army didn't believe at all that the 7th Steel Battalion could cause any trouble.

At this moment, the idea of ​​the Blue Army's commander was very simple, which was to set up the most defensive iron bucket formation and delay the Red Army as long as possible.

Wait until the time is right, and then cooperate with the Red Army to perform the next scene, ending with honor in defeat.

This is the perfect ending to the show!

The Blues have a huge advantage as the defender. They just need to send their troops to the defense zone in an orderly manner and start their defensive work in an orderly manner.

The situation is different for the Red Army, which is an offensive force. Its workload is at least twice that of the Blue Army.

It is still unknown where the Blue Army is, on which high ground the troops are deployed, where the artillery and tanks are hidden, where there are traps, etc.

The Red Army knew nothing about this information, and large forces could not be dispatched rashly.

If they rush over now, the Blue Army as a defensive force will be closer to the position. By the time the Red Army reaches the front line, the Blue Army will definitely have made preliminary deployments.

The Red Army, which rushed over in a hurry, would most likely be hit head-on if they rushed forward.

Therefore, before launching an attack on the Blue Army, the first thing the Red Army has to do is naturally to send out a reconnaissance force to investigate all the information about the Blue Army.

Then, while the reconnaissance troops were gathering information, a preliminary operational plan was discussed.

and so.

After receiving the announcement from the Directorate that the exercise had begun, the headquarters of each Red Army regiment and the battalion headquarters of the Seventh Steel Battalion all received orders from the Red Army Commander-in-Chief, asking the chiefs of staff and commanders of each regiment to go to the Red Army Headquarters to hold a pre-war meeting.

The situation at the 7th Steel Battalion was rather special. It was not the battalion commander Gao Cheng who went, but the deputy battalion commander Chen Jun as the "commander-in-chief", who went with the chief of staff Man Guangzhi.

The commander-in-chief of the Red Army was the commander of the artillery regiment, and the general headquarters was set up in the artillery camp.

As a force stationed in the rear, it is indeed safer for the general headquarters to be with the artillery. After all, as an offensive force, there is no need to worry about being ambushed by the Blue Army.

If the defending Blue Army still has extra troops, they can bypass the front line and launch a surprise attack on the Red Army's rear.

The Red Army’s front-line troops can all go home and grow sweet potatoes.

The camp assigned to the 7th Steel Battalion was at the outermost perimeter, eight kilometers away from the headquarters. The Russian army's infrastructure was very poor, and the roads were all muddy and difficult to run on.
Even if you rush in a jeep along the way, you will always be the last one to arrive.

When Chen Jun and Man Guangzhi entered the command tent, the top leaders of the three regiments had already gathered there and had been in a meeting for quite some time.

Before the people from the 7th Steel Battalion arrived, the commander-in-chief began the pre-war meeting.

This is somewhat disrespectful!
Even though the 7th Steel Battalion is only a battalion-level organization, and is indeed a little bit short of the regiment-level organization that is attending this meeting, it is not a reason for you to completely ignore it.

“These guys are taking it too far.”

Man Guangzhi was still too young. He could not stand such unfair treatment and his youthful vigor made him change his expression on the spot.

Fortunately, with the help of Chen Jun, an old hand, he can easily control the situation.

"Anyway, we are just here for formalities. Do you really want to listen to their tactics? Listen to them? I might as well bring a dog and let the dog lead us in the fight, humph."

Chen Jun spoke in Chinese, and they could hardly understand him even though he spoke very loudly.

Because it was already known that Chen Jun could speak Russian, there was no translator at this meeting, so Chen Jun and Man Guangzhi could speak freely in their native dialect.

Upon learning that the 7th Steel Battalion had proactively submitted a report to change the exercise plan, a group of Russian troops including Commander-in-Chief Dmitry believed that it was the 7th Steel Battalion that was causing trouble and that they did not trust the Russian command, so they had to command on their own.

In the eyes of many Russian military officers, this was a lack of trust and a provocation to them.

So I had some opinions about the 7th Steel Battalion.

The camp of the 7th Steel Battalion was located at the outermost edge of the battlefield, and the pre-war meeting started before all the people of the 7th Steel Battalion arrived at the venue.

This group of Russian officers did it on purpose, just to intimidate the 7th Steel Battalion.

If the 7th Steel Battalion still refuses to behave itself, Commander-in-Chief Dmitry has even more ruthless means at his disposal. He doesn't mind inflicting a major defeat on the 7th Steel Battalion.

Anyway, no matter how severe the defeat suffered by the 7th Steel Battalion, he believed it would not affect the exercise.

He also has a reinforced Russian regiment under his command. Even without the help of the Chinese army, he can easily complete the exercise as the exercise plan has been written in advance.

It was because of this kind of personal thoughts that a group of Russian officers including Dmitry had been paying close attention since Chen Jun and Man Guangzhi came in.

In their view.

The entire venue will isolate the Chinese officers, which will definitely make them very embarrassed.

They were all ready to see the joke.

But the result...

But it was surprising.

Chen Jun and Man Guangzhi, who came in last, did not feel embarrassed at all when no one paid attention to them. Instead, they discussed loudly there.

The sound was so loud that even the sound of their meeting was drowned out by Chen Jun's loud voice.

And from the smiling and complacent expressions on Chen Jun and Man Guangzhi's faces while they were talking, Dmitry and other Russian officers, even though they didn't understand Chinese, could guess that they were definitely not talking about anything good.

I wanted to give the other party a warning, but I didn't expect to be tricked by him in front of me.

Dmitri's face darkened.

However, the Chinese army was invited to participate in the exercise and has obtained the consent of the directorate. It is now participating in the exercise as a foreign support force and will not accept any deployment from the Red Army.

No matter how upset Dmitry felt, he could only keep it in his heart with a gloomy face.

Pretending not to hear what Chen Jun and Man Guangzhi said, he continued to discuss with a group of Russian regimental-level cadres what tactics to use for the next attack.

"You are still too young to play such tricks on me."

Seeing the Red Army commander-in-chief with a gloomy face, Chen Jun felt extremely happy.

After venting his anger at being neglected, Chen Jun did not continue to be unreasonable. Instead, he chose to take Man Guangzhi to the sand to see what tricks they were going to play.

Although the 7th Steel Battalion did not accept the command of the Red Army Commander-in-Chief, it could play freely in this exercise.

However, knowing how the Red Army troops will fight next and how they will attack the Blue Army's positions will be of great help to Chen Jun in formulating a combat plan.

After all, the Blue Army has a reinforced regiment and a natural advantage in defense.

Chen Jun was not so arrogant as to think that he could fight a reinforced regiment head-on with the 7th Steel Battalion and just rush in and start fighting without thinking.

Even if Chen Jun did have that plan, he had an extremely crazy idea.

Use the 7th Steel Battalion to eat up the entire Blue Army!

Even though the 7th Steel Battalion did have a record of defeating a larger force with a smaller one, it had the impressive feat of annihilating an entire armored reconnaissance battalion directly under the division using only one synthetic company.

But now we are on the Russian territory, and they want to wipe out more than 900 people with just 6000 people.

This is not very difficult.

It's just hell level.

In order to accomplish this epic feat and create the miracle of a combined battalion annihilating a reinforced regiment, one must use one's brain.

Therefore, Cheng Jun compared hundreds of plans in his mind on the way here.

Finally, one was decided, the only one.

That is to make use of the Red Army's reinforced regiment, make it the "accomplice" of the 7th Steel Battalion hidden in the dark, and use the opponent's strength to give it a try.

Since he wanted to make use of the Russian Red Army's reinforced regiment, Chen Jun naturally needed to know their information.

The more detailed the better.

Only in this way can we utilize the Red Army and pave the way for the 7th Steel Battalion.

Commander-in-chief Dmitry did not know yet that this small lieutenant colonel from the Chinese troops had such huge ambitions that he actually intended to play with two reinforced regiments of the Russian army.

He was still immersed in his own thoughts, thinking about how to trick the 7th Steel Battalion and then capture the Blue Army's position.

Both sides are plotting against the other.

This is truly a "good partnership".
