Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 170 This is Life!
After returning to the front finger station, Jiang Chen felt somewhat happy.Although I have been running in various units on the front line for more than ten days, generally speaking, there is no danger, especially when I have brushed shoulders with death several times.Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to talk about being happy, but he didn't expect that one thing would make Jiang Chen's joyful mood drop to the bottom in an instant.

What happened? Jiang Chen met Lei Jun and his instructor.Originally, this family member should be happy to meet, but I didn't expect him to bring bad news to Jiang Chen this time.That is, Company Commander Kong who was drinking and laughing with Jiang Chen not long ago, Platoon Commander Zhao and the little soldier next to him who were fighting with him at that time have all died.This made Jiang Chen somewhat disbelief, because this person was still drinking and playing together a few days ago, why should he just say no and leave now, he won't be able to accept it for a while.

According to Lei Jun, this is true, and they didn't leave for long in Jiang Chen.Their battalion received an emergency combat order, asking them to go deep behind the enemy to scout the enemy's artillery positions.Because in the recent period of time, the enemy's shelling has been very numerous and very frequent.In addition, the enemy was very alert this time, so they moved their positions immediately after a round of shelling, which made our counterattack useless.So the higher authorities decided to let the scouts go deep behind the enemy lines and do some on-the-spot reconnaissance, so as to know where their hidden artillery and sufficient ammunition came from.Then guide our artillery to cover the usual hiding positions of these artillery on the supply line behind them.

Originally, there was no company commander Kong, that platoon leader Zhao, and that little soldier this time, but he insisted on asking for a fight, and in the end he was so annoyed that he couldn't help it, so the superiors agreed to let him lead a group of soldiers.And the platoon leader Zhao and the little soldier naturally followed along.Unexpectedly, this trip turned out to be a road of no return, which made Lei Jun and the others who made the decision regret it unceasingly.

In fact, the previous missions were completed well. Under their guidance, our artillery and long-range rockets successfully destroyed several hidden artillery positions and several hidden arsenals.But when they were about to unplug the last one, they didn't expect to be discovered by them.They ignored an important factor when measuring, that is time and location.Because it was already afternoon when they detected the target, when they took the optical rangefinder to locate the target, they did not expect the angle of the sun to hit the lens of the optical rangefinder and cause reflections.But it was this slight negligence that was discovered by the Nanman monkeys who were on strict guard.

Because they have destroyed several targets in a row, the monkeys hate them, so they are very careful to guard against their important facilities.And after these people discovered Company Commander Kong and the others, they didn't say anything, but sent the information to the elite troops of the Southern Barbarian army that Monkey used to encircle and suppress them.These people were very familiar with fighting in jungle terrain, so they quietly surrounded Company Commander Kong and the others. It was too late when they found out that something was wrong, because they were already surrounded.Although they tried their best to break through, only one soldier escaped, and the soldier was dying when he came back.

Although Company Commander Kong and the others insisted on guiding the artillery to destroy this position, their task was still not completed, because they still had one task to complete, that is, the supply line from the Nanban to the front line had not been discovered and destroyed.And because they suffered heavy losses and sacrificed too many personnel, the former finger decided to recruit Lei Jun and the others to investigate and hold the responsible persons accountable.Although Jiang Chen still wanted to participate, he was stopped by Lei Jun and Jiang Chen's uncle, telling him not to participate.

It is mentioned here that Jiang Chen’s uncle is also Lei Jun’s brother-in-law Zhang Zhonghong, so let’s briefly talk about it here.Jiang Chen's uncle has also made rapid progress in this year. He has been promoted from a deputy division commander to the deputy chief of staff of the entire former finger.Although Jiang Chen didn't deny that his grandfather Lei Zhan played a role in it, most of them relied on his own strength.There are many people on the front line who care about like Uncle Jiang Chen, but getting to this point is not something that can be achieved casually, which shows that Uncle Cheap is also a relatively powerful figure.

When he came to the front line, Jiang Chen had contact with this uncle a few times, but it was only a few times.Because he was really too busy, and not long after meeting Jiang Chen, he would get calls and people to remind him that there was something unexpected, so he could only leave with an apologetic face.Jiang Chen also expressed his understanding of this. After all, it is a time of combat, and a position like him must be very busy.After several contacts, Jiang Chen admired, respected and liked this uncle very much.On the one hand, there is the original memory of this body, and on the other hand, Jiang Chen can personally feel the care and love that Jiang Chen's uncle Zhang Zhonghong has for Jiang Chen. I am afraid that the real father and son are like this.

Since both of them said this, Jiang Chen just ignored it and waited for the changes.This matter has been investigated for a long time, and Jiang Chen is paying close attention to this matter while holding various exchanges and seminars with the experts.Finally, it was not until a week later that the investigation came to an end.The sluggish and stubble-faced Lei Jun was finally released.The results of the investigation said that this incident was not the fault of the army chief, but was caused by an unexpected situation on the battlefield, so it had nothing to do with Lei Jun.But in this way, Lei Jun will feel more uncomfortable, he thinks it is better to give some punishment.After all, it was Lei Jun who finally decided to replace Company Commander Kong. If you said that if you hadn’t been so soft at the beginning, you wouldn’t have let him go up, maybe this would not have happened.

People who are used to seeing life and death on the battlefield believe in fate even more. They often say that if a person has a good life, he will never die, even if he is shot with a gun, he will not die.If a person's life is not good, maybe he will die first before meeting the enemy.There are many such people on the front line. For example, those who are lucky have been shot with a gun. Either the gun jammed and failed to shoot, or they missed or missed a vital point, which allowed them to survive.Those with bad lives could not escape death, and they died before meeting the enemy. For example, acute malaria made people dehydrated and died.Another example is the bites of snakes and insects, which can kill a person.And Lei Jun is such a person who believes in fate. He always believes that it was his mistakes that led to the sacrifice of these people, so he blames himself very much now.
