I asked you to repeat your senior year of high school, but did you miss out on joining the military

Chapter 376: We were just hurrying along, but we got lost with or thousand people?

December 2017, 1.

That is 5:45 in the morning after New Year's Day.

In the duty room of the first battalion, Wang Yanrong, the company commander of the anti-aircraft machine gun company, was drinking strong tea and forcing himself to be alert while on duty.

The radio on the table suddenly made a "buzzing" sound. This thing was like the warning that a cell phone would give before someone called ten years ago.

Old Wang, who had his eyelids drooping and was feeling a little sleepy, was startled and sat up straight when he heard the noise.

His eyes widened as he stared at the radio transmitter.

During the war preparedness period, all radio communication permissions have been opened and can be directly connected to the military district duty room.

"Broadcasting Level 1 combat alert!!"

A muffled voice came over the radio.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yanrong didn't have time to think. He just picked up the mouse on the desk in the duty room and clicked a few times on the screen.

In an instant, the shrill and soul-stirring alarms sounded throughout the camp in the company camps of the First Battalion.

It's still dark at five o'clock in the winter.

The humming sound of breaking through the air instantly woke up everyone in the camp.

This sound is played through a loud speaker, but it is useless no matter how deep you sleep.

The originally silent camp seemed to come back to life in an instant, and a noisy sound of "bang bang bang" began to be heard from the dormitories of each company.

Chen Jun heard the noise outside. He felt that he had just lay down for a short while when the alarm sounded.

But this time, Chen Jun was not too anxious.

Emergency assemblies are also divided into priorities. The first-level combat readiness broadcast is undoubtedly the most serious level of combat readiness without prior notice.

When this kind of combat readiness is sounded, we will have to use live ammunition and join the battle directly.

But if you give advance notice, that’s another matter.

In each dormitory of the company, the duty officers who had prepared in advance began to cooperate in blowing the emergency assembly whistle and arranging tasks in an orderly manner.

The sounds of alarms and whistles intertwined together.

Suddenly, an extremely solemn and austere atmosphere was formed in the camp, almost tangible, making it hard to breathe.

Loud shouts rang out one after another.

Streams of people came out from each company.

The command vehicle was undergoing final adjustments, the traction truck was slowly leaving the warehouse, and the materials were loaded onto the truck.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Although the First Battalion was established not long ago, it has been carrying out these actions in its normal combat readiness procedures, so the situation is not chaotic.

After Chen Jun finished washing up, he took off his military rank and handed it to the orderly, then picked up the military cap and belt on the table.

Leave the dormitory quickly.

As for packing the backpack and so on, with Li Wujie around, he no longer needs to do these things.

Arrived at the camp entrance.

Battalion duty officer Wang Yanrong handed the key to the ammunition depot to Chen Jun. Old Wang led the anti-aircraft machine gun company. Compared to the generals, the machine gun company had the fewest tanks in the entire battalion, so his preparations were not that busy.

"Battalion Commander, all companies are ready to set off."

"okay, I get it."

Chen Jun nodded and walked towards the artillery field.

The battalion had already issued a mobilization notice regarding this exercise.

Now that the alarm has been sounded, it is just a matter of completing the dispatch process, which is naturally much faster.

When Chen Jun arrived at the artillery field avenue, the tanks that had been driven onto the tractors yesterday were lined up in a line several hundred meters long.

It looks even more cold and domineering in the night! !
The Second Battalion's battalion commander Zhao Ziheng and instructor Lin Jinhua were also awakened by the noise and ran over to join in the fun.

Chen Jun didn't have time to greet them. He just nodded as he passed by them.

Then he said loudly: "All companies, take a final headcount and set off in ten minutes."

"Old Ma?!!"

"Hey, here."

When Ma Hongjie heard the battalion commander calling him, he hurriedly ran over from the crowd.

"You lead the team and follow the railway. Be careful on the road. If you can't contact the battalion headquarters or me on the way, don't panic. Gather at the designated location according to the plan."

"Yes, I understand."

Yesterday, Chen Jun had arranged the logistics of the battalion and the brigade. The team, led by Chief of Staff Liang Kexiang, set out a day earlier, carrying the baggage of the engineering company and some ammunition to survey the terrain at the base designated by the directorate.

Build fortifications at the same time.

Pengcheng is more than a thousand kilometers away from Fuzhou. It takes about three days for rail transportation and transfer to the combat zone after arriving in Fuzhou.

The entire battalion was dispatched in three batches.

Lao Liang led the first batch, the railway transport tanks, and the soldiers in the battalion took the train and belonged to the second batch.

The third group included Chen Jun, the instructor, and Li Peifang from the director's office, who went there in a military vehicle.

If Chen Jun can hurry up, he will be among the first to arrive at the battlefield and survey the nearby terrain.

After all, it's a war.

We can't just rely on the map given by the directorate. This time the Medical Blue Army is joining the battle. If we believe in the directorate's arrangements, we'll probably lose everything.

I hope there won't be any accidents along the way.

After Chen Jun explained the mission to Ma Hongjie and his team, he watched each company gather and take roll call with a dim gaze, and then the personnel dispersed and got on the vehicles.

One after another, tractor trucks came out and began to slowly slide into the distance.

Anyway, there are medical blue troops, that is, professional blue troops participating in this operation.

Chen Jun always felt that a bad feeling was growing in his heart.

The trajectory of the 2017 exercise is still too easy to grasp.

It was only through the frequent mobilization of transport planes that supplies continued to gather and the outside world cooperated in the transportation.

It is easy to tell that troops are going to be deployed for military exercises, and based on some transportation routes, even ordinary people can feel the military's actions.

What's more, those cunning Blue Army soldiers will definitely be able to detect the Red Army's troop transportation arrangements.

It’s better in the future. Chen Jun remembers the military exercise in 2022, which was much more awesome.

There was no preparation before the exercise at all. The combat exercise was launched suddenly, and the air force and navy with tens of thousands of people had not received any news of the exercise in advance.

Fight if you say so.

That kind of confidentiality work is considered to be done properly.

That's it for now.
Chen Jun looked up at the transport plane flying low and still transporting supplies. He couldn't help but smile.

Such a big fuss is being made before the exercise now. Who knows what the Americans and those two bastards Han are thinking in private these days.

"Old Chen, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that the tanks had already set off, the First Battalion became empty, leaving only a few soldiers guarding the barracks.

Zhao Ziheng, who had been watching from the side, took out a cigarette from his pocket, put one in his mouth, and threw the rest, including the box, to Chen Jun.

"Is it too stressful for you to lead the team to participate in the exercise this time?"

"is a bit."

Chen Jun grabbed the cigarette box and lit one himself, wanting to return the rest to Lao Zhao.

Zhao Ziheng waved his hand and said, "Take it. There won't be anywhere to buy cigarettes in the combat zone."

"I applied to Brigade Tao two days ago and wanted to go with the First Battalion to assist you in this operation, but the brigade did not agree."

"Tao Lieutenant also wants to train you. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just fight as you should on the battlefield. I believe in you."

"Ok, I know."

Chen Jun looked at Lao Zhao's worried eyes and grinned. Zhao Ziheng was his battalion commander. He had followed Lao Zhao when he first graduated and joined the battalion. He was worried about leading the team thousands of kilometers away to participate in the exercise.

This is also reasonable.

Chen Jun also knew in his heart that it was not the military district that believed in him, nor was it the brigade that had confidence in him.

But we should always try what we should experience, right?

He is now the deputy chief of staff of the 179th Brigade and also serves as the commander of the first battalion, although he is only acting deputy chief of staff.

But everyone knows what this means.

Even if you have this position on your head, if you don't even have the ability to organize a battalion exercise, then you can't hold on to this position.

It is true that the butt determines the thinking.

But first you have to see if your butt is stable enough and whether you can support the corresponding work.

Regardless of the success or failure of this exercise, as long as I perform well, the two words "temporary deputy chief of staff" should be removed in front of my title after I come back.

Chen Jun put away the cigarette, opened his arms and hugged Zhao Ziheng, then hugged Lin Jinhua.

After a few people separated, they stood at attention and saluted solemnly.

Chen Jun looked back at the battalion headquarters, his eyes became firm, and then he waved to everyone and got into the jeep next to him.

The cars were still the two that came from the director's office. Two lieutenants were responsible for driving, and Li Wujie was sitting in the lead car, carrying Chen Jun's luggage.

Chen Jun was sitting in the back car with Li Peifang and He Yingtao.

Under the watchful eyes of all the cadres in the brigade.

Two military vehicles roared out and soon disappeared into the night.

I could almost see the rear lights of the car.

Xiao Jianfeng, the commander of the 179th Brigade Tank Battalion, walked up to Zhao Ziheng and said with a sigh, "Old Zhao, what do you think the higher-ups are thinking this time?"

"I can understand letting the First Battalion participate in the annual military exercise on behalf of the brigade. Right now, they are the only battalion that has combat effectiveness."

"We are now a lone commander, but the brigade has allocated all logistics to the first battalion. With such a large size, its manpower and firepower are comparable to that of a reinforced regiment."

"Is Brigade Tao so confident that he would let a new guy like Lao Chen take command?"

"Let us go with them. Even if we can't help much, we can still form a staff group and lighten the burden of the First Battalion."

"In the end, Tao Lu didn't allow anyone to go. What's going on?"

"If you ask me, who should I ask?"

When Zhao Ziheng heard this, he rolled his eyes, bit the cigarette butt with his steel teeth, and his face was full of depression.

How can I not be depressed?

The annual military exercise was a grand event, and it involved cross-regional operations, and he was jealous.

But the Second Battalion now has no combat effectiveness, let alone the ability to accurately deploy the two new companies to the battlefield even in cross-region operations.

Don't lose any soldiers along the way.

Zhao Ziheng felt very relieved. There were too many new recruits in the Second Battalion, and the task of organizing them was long and arduous.

There are many advantages to Chen Jun riding in the director's department's car, but there are also disadvantages.

The advantage is that the source of information is not blocked.

Not long after he set out, the deployment status of the various units participating in the First Army was summarized on the workbench.

When Li Peifang was communicating with other referees, Chen Jun could judge the deployment status of the red team from the content of the conversation.

They set out at around six in the morning and it was already past noon, having already left Pengcheng.

The directorate had just received news that all the tanks of the first battalion had already been loaded onto the railway train, ready to set off.

What surprised Chen Jun was that Li Peifang did not seem to report the first battalion's logistics unit that was the first to be dispatched yesterday.

Anyway, when the radio summarized the red and blue teams' itineraries, there was no news that Liang Kexiang would lead the team.

Of course, there are also obvious disadvantages to riding in the director’s vehicle.

Or rather, the thing Chen Jun was most worried about finally happened.

When their vehicles were driving on the Shanghai-Wuhan Expressway, the directorate suddenly informed them that the mechanized infantry brigade under the First Army Group had lost contact with its land convoy.

The command and control agency was unable to contact this team and issued a clear order requiring the mechanized infantry brigade to respond as soon as possible, otherwise it would be eliminated within eight hours.

When Chen Jun was driving on the Wuhu-Huangshan Expressway, the entire railway transportation of the mechanized infantry division under the First Army Group lost contact.

The director's office ordered that the unit's whereabouts could not be contacted for another eight hours.

Will be judged out.

When the vehicles were driving on Chaohuang Expressway, the land convoy of another motorized infantry brigade of the First Army lost contact.

You are required to report your progress to the director's office before 9 o'clock tonight, otherwise you will be eliminated.

Chen Jun's brows were tightly furrowed as the Red Army's combat troops continued to lose contact.

In order to make it easier to use the car radio to report his work, Li Peifang always sat in the passenger seat.

Chen Jun and He Yingtao sat in the back row.

At this time, I heard the news of loss of contact continuously.

It seemed like Lao He had corns on his butt, and he kept twisting his butt while sitting there.

It can be seen that He Yingtao is not very calm at the moment.

The troops lost contact? ! !

What an international joke.

Not to mention the various pre-war preparations, just look at the brigade-level units and division-level units. What kind of storms and waves haven’t they seen?

As for the fact that it was only transferred over a thousand kilometers, why did it lose contact directly?
Chen Jun even doubted whether the directorate had contacted them. How could such a large battle group, whether it was by rail or land, lose contact?

We were just on the road, but tens or twenty thousand people were lost just like that?
It’s not that outrageous, right?

Chen Jun always felt that something was wrong with this information, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

He turned his head to look at Lao He, whose face seemed to have become thinner due to his worry.

Chen Jun raised his hand and patted He Yingtao's shoulder, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.

He felt that this style was the Blues' method. After all, Zhuri and the Blues always liked to do things that sounded incredible.

But the problem is that the Zhurihe Blue Army will not participate in such military exercises, and they will not travel a long distance to Fuzhou.

Moreover.

The Zhurihe operation was not a random act. It was intended to simulate extreme situations to test the combat effectiveness of the troops.

See what existing problems the current troops can expose, so as to solve them and improve combat effectiveness.

The purpose of their exercise and any means they used were not to teach the Red Army how to win.

How to win is secondary.

The most important thing is that the disadvantages and problems exposed under high-intensity extreme conditions can be quickly resolved.

The essence is to find and correct mistakes, and at the same time develop and optimize the overall combat effectiveness of the army through the iteration of tactics and methods.

The victory of the exercise has different meanings to be understood from different perspectives.

Just like Zhurihe, sometimes victory means achieving strategic and tactical goals, and it is not necessarily necessary to win the battle.

But what happened this time?

Listening to the co-pilot, the staff of the directorate has been urging each unit to solve the connection problem. The first batch of people who lost contact have not been found yet.

Chen Jun looked at the road signs and knew they had already arrived in Fuzhou.

There is still no news from the missing unit.

Chen Jun was also a little confused about what the director's department was up to.

Could it be possible that so many troops could really get lost?
