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

Chapter 380: The 16th Brigade was destroyed by artillery fire. This disaster is huge.
Counting from the ancient times of slash-and-burn agriculture and the outbreak of tribal wars.

War is a very cruel and despairing thing.

Whether it is word of mouth or literary records, whenever the word war is mentioned, it is always described with words such as cruel, despair, and wailing.

Therefore, Chen Jun had no intention of figuring out the firepower organization of the Blue Army combat group.

Why do you need to make it so clear?
All are equal under the rocket launcher.

If the people from the director's office didn't cause trouble, he would have no excuse to shorten this equal opportunity.

The exercise had not yet set a start time, but traces of the Blue Army's firepower cluster were discovered 34 kilometers away from our own troops.

Chen Jun has every reason to believe it.

What happened last night is definitely not accidental, and it will not just happen once and then stop.

It was estimated that the higher-ups would take advantage of the exhaustion of the First Battalion and send out the Blue Army to suppress the enemy with firepower.

In that case, there's no point in being polite.

Chen Jun's order to open fire was delivered.

At 5:40 in the morning, the forward reconnaissance company sent back the specific coordinates of the Blue Army cluster.

At 5:46, the forward radar position was received by the artillery battery, without permission for satellite positioning.

All the technical officers of the artillery company went out and began to draw diagrams to calculate the best firing point based on the pre-planned shooting parameters and the location, distance, angle, etc. of the target point.

More than 30 kilometers away, without satellite precision guidance, we can only rely on radar, infrared, and laser guidance methods to lock on.

Even if medium- and short-range missiles are not precisely guided, the calculated data error will not be very large, at most a few hundred meters.

This is still a very pessimistic situation. Generally speaking, as long as there is no mistake in the calculation, the error of the target of dozens of kilometers will only be a dozen meters.

Long-range missiles are not enough.

A missile with an attack range of more than a thousand kilometers, without satellite precision guidance, can at best ensure that it can hit an area as large as a city, and the error is greater than that of a small community.

The artillery company needs to calculate the optimal shooting data and is making adjustments.

Time passed little by little.

Chen Jun stood in the temporary command room, his eyes fixed on the images sent back by the reconnaissance company's drone.

At this time, the Blue Army cluster had detected an unfamiliar radar signal source near the camp, and the images were projected back by long-range drones.

The First Battalion could vaguely see that everyone in the Blue Army camp was in riot.

Countless Blue Army soldiers poured out of the camp and scattered around to search for the source of the strange signal.

Detective work is also a very dangerous job.

The Mengshi reconnaissance vehicle of the first battalion was being interfered with by the technical reconnaissance personnel of the Blue Army and the search of the people on the ground, so it had to keep moving.

Continue to provide coordinate information to the artillery battery.

Chen Jun just watched calmly, his fingertips clenched and his fists pressed against the conference table.

He was waiting until the artillery company had calculated all the preparations for long-range shooting.

Finally it’s 5:58.

The intercom and radio on the desk in the temporary command room simultaneously transmitted ready instructions.

When Chen Jun heard this, his eyes widened.

He picked up the intercom and said, "No need to report, two salvos, fire!!!"

dong dong dong.
As soon as Chen Jun gave the order, there were bursts of loud noises outside the camp. There were nine Type 11 122 self-propelled rocket launchers.

One vehicle can fire 40 rockets in one salvo, and nine vehicles can fire 360 ​​rockets into the air.

In an instant, it was as if a fire dragon rose into the sky above the camp, and the flames illuminated the surroundings of the camp.

Hundreds of fire dragons roared and flew into the sky.

The soldiers of the first battalion, who had already dispersed, looked up in amazement at the artillery company's power, and waves of blood boiling filled their bodies.

This type of rocket launcher is not a firepower that a battalion-level unit can deploy at all, but at this moment it released the brightest light.

6:00 AM sharp.

The order to start the exercise was announced on the directorate's public channel.

But at this time, more than half of the hundreds of fire dragons launched by the first battalion had already flown.

The cadres in the camp felt their scalps tingling and an indescribable feeling enveloped their whole bodies.

They never thought that the battalion commander would be so quick and efficient. These were three or four hundred rockets. Not to mention a battalion of the Blue Army, even a brigade might not be able to withstand such firepower.

He Yingtao listened to the noise outside and a trace of anxiety flashed across his brows.

It must be fun to fight a war like this.

But how can I explain to my superiors after having the pleasure?

The directorate cheated and used the excuse of sounding the air raid alarm in the camp, but this excuse directly resulted in hundreds of rockets being fired straight at the Blue Army's lair.

He was worried that this excuse was not enough.

Chen Jun obviously didn't have this worry. He picked up the intercom again and said, "Artillery Company, there is no need to move from the original position. Reload ammunition and prepare for the second round of firing."

The first battalion was the attacking force, and all its members, except for some officers, were still in shock.

Chen Jun himself didn't know who he was hitting this time, so naturally he didn't know.

What a huge mess this shot caused.

The Blue Army group on the other side was completely confused.

Xiao Zhao is a private first class in the 31th Amphibious Armored Brigade of the 16st Army.

On the night of the 5th, the task assigned to him was to patrol the perimeter of the camp.

The requirements for patrols before the exercise actually aren't that strict.

But Xiao Zhao was very active. He held his gun all night, observing his surroundings like a falcon and strictly carrying out his task.

There is no other reason.

Because Xiao Zhao’s squad leader told him before the exercise.

The year 2016 was designated as the "first year of military reform" by the above meeting. Therefore, in 2017, the troops will significantly increase their conscription requirements due to the military reform.

Even if you want to stay in the army and become a non-commissioned officer, you must have a skill or perform very well in the class to sign a one-term contract.

From conscript to non-commissioned officer.

The 31th Amphibious Armored Brigade of the 16st Army is considered a very powerful unit. How can a private first class in the class perform to meet the excellent evaluation standards?

Xiao Zhao didn't know, but his squad leader gave him the answer. The exercise was an opportunity, and as long as he performed well in the exercise, the company would be able to discover his excellence.

Then the company can let him stay in the team.

Xiao Zhao regards this sentence as his motto. As he was assigned to the Blue Army this time, he was fighting on home soil.

Xiao Zhao firmly believed that he could perform very well, even if it was just patrol work, the squad leader had reminded him of the rotation time.

But in order to show his performance and leave a good impression on the squad leader, he endured the sleepiness and stayed alone at the point where he was supposed to be on duty, patrolling the camp with a gun in his hand.

Everything was normal in the first half of the night and nothing was wrong.

But late at night, he suddenly discovered a faint light coming from the distant sky, but the distance was too far and the brigade had not issued any other orders.

Xiao Zhao didn't care much about it.

When it was almost dawn, Xiao Zhao originally wanted to replace the squad leader and take advantage of the early morning to get some sleep and recuperate.

But before he could run back to the rest area of ​​his class, the alarm suddenly sounded in the camp.

Instructions from above were also received through the walkie-talkies issued during patrols.

All members of their patrol team were asked to go out and expand the search area around the camp because an unfamiliar radar signal source was discovered nearby.

This news made Xiao Zhao very excited.

Although he had only been in the army for a short time, he had not participated in any exercises involving actual combat.

Because military exercises are not about fixed large-scale combat, and often there are many simulation links in various subjects.

For example, the coordination of arms, finding coordination loopholes, or experimenting with the way of deploying troops, the intensity and accuracy of long-range firepower coverage, etc. These are all exercises.

What is truly known to the outside world is that there are very few exercises like this one involving actual military confrontations, and when there are some, they are similar in scale to the National Day military training, and end up with a whimper.

As for the reason, there is nothing complicated about it.

The casualties in actual military confrontation are too high, there are too many uncontrollable factors, and the military budget cannot support frequent confrontations of this scale.

The importance of general simulation subjects in the modern warfare joint system is no less than that of actual combat.

Because simulation subjects can simulate the most realistic battlefield environment at the lowest cost, possible problems can be discovered from this environment.

And then correct it.

With more corrections, a comprehensive consideration on the battlefield of the annual military exercises can still solve many of the remaining problems.

This is why annual military exercises are particularly important.

Xiao Zhao had never participated in a live-fire confrontation before. During last year’s annual military exercise, he had just been assigned to the 16th Brigade. As a private, he had to stay in the barracks.

There is no qualification to participate in the war at all.

Now, hearing the suspicious signal source appearing near the camp, Xiao Zhao concluded that it must be the Red Army's doing.

As a soldier of the Blue Army, the Red Army was not an enemy in Xiao Zhao's eyes, but a certificate to stay in the team and an honor to run for.

Under this psychological stimulation.

Xiao Zhao held his gun and yelled, his eyes red, looking everywhere for traces of the Red Army. More and more Blue Army soldiers came out of the rear camp.

Xiao Zhao became more and more anxious, fearing that the credit would be taken away by other comrades, and he kept expanding the scope of the search.

But time passed by little by little, and he still had no results.

Just when Xiao Zhao felt discouraged, the alarm suddenly sounded again in the camp one thousand meters behind him, and the air defense alarm sounded instantly.

There was also a roaring sound coming from the intercom.

"Enemy attack!!!"

"All personnel from all battalions, companies and platoons, put down all the work in your hands and get into the trenches, quickly!!!"

Faced with this sudden order, Xiao Zhao himself was confused.

He was at least one kilometer away from the camp. In this situation, no one told him what to do.

In desperation, Xiao Zhao had to find a sunken terrain and squat there.

Then he saw the most spectacular scene since he joined the army.

One after another, fire dragons descended from the sky and rushed into his camp.

Boom boom boom.
The earth was shaking, and waves of dust from the explosions instantly covered the entire camp.

The fire dragon was still flying, and in the early morning when it was not yet fully light, the scene before his eyes was like a huge hole in the sky, with huge piles of charcoal leaking out of the hole.

Falling straight into the camp.

The firelight illuminated half the sky red and also shone on Xiao Zhao's face. He looked up blankly at his own camp.

I don’t know if the squad leader is still alive.

The sound of the explosion did not last long. When all the noise died down, Xiao Zhao hugged his gun, put his hands on the ground and climbed up, then staggered towards the camp.

His face was a little pale. He had no experience in actual combat and had no idea what to do at this time.

At this point, things like being promoted to non-commissioned officer, staying in the team, or patrolling are no longer important.

He just wanted to go back and check on the squad leader, to see if there was smoke coming out of his beloved squad leader's head.

Xiao Zhao obviously underestimated the strength of the 16th Brigade.

The 31st Army Amphibious Armored Brigade has four tank battalions, one amphibious armored infantry battalion, one amphibious self-propelled howitzer battalion, as well as a guard and reconnaissance company directly under the brigade, an engineer chemical battalion, and so on.

There are nearly six thousand troops.

The entire brigade has 124 high-speed amphibious assault vehicles, 31 amphibious infantry fighting vehicles, 6 self-propelled mortars, and 18 122 self-propelled mortar-howitzers.

With such a large-scale configuration, it is impossible for it to be destroyed in one round.

The 16th Brigade of the Blue Army realized that the artillery fire in the distance had stopped, and two-thirds of the surviving soldiers of the brigade came out of the trenches one after another.

While cursing in various dialects, they began to actively rescue the tank.

As for revenge or something.

They didn't think about it right now.

After all, a range of more than five kilometers is a huge test for the 16th Brigade.

They don't have the ability to hit a target more than 30 kilometers away, but they can lock the opponent's position based on ballistic radar.

Transmit to Blue Force Command.

Let the command send long-range artillery to avenge them.

On his way back, Xiao Zhao saw tanks rumbling out of his own camp.

His originally pale face finally regained a hint of redness, and his spirit and energy eased a lot. Just as he was about to raise his arms and shout.

Unexpectedly, there was movement again in the distance.

In the first round of bombing just now, the early warning devices and radars in the camp were all damaged, making it impossible to provide any early warning.

The lack of early warning meant that the soldiers of the entire brigade who were rescuing the tanks would not be able to hide in the trenches in time as they did just now.

When Xiao Zhao heard the noise, he raised his head with difficulty.

Looking at the fire dragon that was exactly the same as before, it roared towards him again.

He yelled in panic, turned off the safety and fired a warning shot, waving his arms and shouting: "Hide!!!"

"Enemy attack, hide quickly!!!"

Unfortunately, it was too late and his comrades could not hear his voice at all.

However, the noise of the rocket launcher firing attracted the attention of the Blue Army cluster. No one expected that such fierce firepower could happen again in a short period of time.

The entire camp was in complete chaos. Countless soldiers got off the tanks and rushed towards the trenches.

But can people run faster than rockets?

That's obviously bullshit.

Inside the 16th Brigade camp, a large crowd of people gathered and command was completely disrupted.

Thousands of people ran wildly in various camps, but they could not outrun the speed of the second round of fire dragons.

This is also normal.

They had no early warning device and they only ran when they saw the rockets coming. The crowd didn't even run a few steps.

The entire camp was once again covered by rockets.

Boom boom boom.
Puff puff.
White smoke emerged from the bodies of soldiers one after another in the camp, and the tanks were destroyed simultaneously.

Xiao Zhao couldn't tell whether he was lucky or unlucky.

He witnessed the bombing of his own camp twice in a row, and nothing happened to him twice in a row.

Done
This is Xiao Zhao’s feeling at the moment.

At the 16th Brigade Command Headquarters, Brigade Commander Cao Tiande was so angry that the muscles on his face were almost twisted.

He looked at himself, the staff officers, the political commissar, and all the commanders in the combat command room, all of whom were covered in white smoke.

We arrived at the battlefield and did nothing. When we woke up after a sleep, we found that the whole brigade had been destroyed by the enemy.

How can you bear this?
Cao Tiande slammed the desk with a "bang".

"Damn it, this is too much of a bully. Connect me to the General Staff."

"I want to see which unit is so rampant."

"You must give me an explanation for this."
