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

Chapter 385: The army is approaching, it's really hard to be your son-in-law
On the surface, the war situation began to enter a calm period.

Under Chen Jun's orderly arrangement, the reconnaissance company of the first battalion gradually extended outward along the four sides of the camp.

The reconnaissance company of the combined battalion is not the kind of armed reconnaissance company that relies on legs, concealment, and catching tongues.

Do some routine scout work.

The reconnaissance company of the 1st Battalion is of armored reconnaissance type. Its duty is to provide target guidance for the artillery and early warning for the entire battalion. The company is also equipped with Mengshi assault reconnaissance vehicles, radar vehicles, etc.

Take half a day.

Almost all the strange signal sources within a radius of dozens of kilometers can be collected.

Chen Jun sat in the temporary command room of the camp, listening to the news continuously sent back by the reconnaissance company.

After briefly analyzing the information, he turned to look at the chief staff officer Liang Kexiang who was sitting next to him.

"By the way, Lao Liang, have you heard any news about the comrades assigned to the 16th Brigade's base?"

"No, there is no definite news yet."

Liang Kexiang shook his head.

"That's not right."

When Chen Jun heard this, he raised his eyebrows in confusion.

The 16st Battalion had just bombed the 1221th Brigade this morning, and the area where the battalion was located had already been exposed at the meeting.

He didn't believe that those division-level units could be so patient as to not take any action?
Allow us to randomly select the Blue Army’s base and bomb it again?
It shouldn't be that simple.
Chen Jun stood up and walked out of the temporary command room. At this time, the sun had already set and night was quietly falling.

Wherever I looked, the entire camp was very quiet, so quiet that it was a little eerie and a little abnormal.

Chen Jun knew very well that the early morning attack on the 16th Brigade went smoothly because it took advantage of the surprise attack.

and the result of the accumulation of various factors.

At present, the reconnaissance company has sent back the locations of many blue army bases, but it is judged based on the scale of the signal source.

None of the Blue Force combat groups detected were too large in size.

The Blues never let on about their motives.

Chen Jun really didn't dare to rashly order an attack.

He was worried that a division-level combat group would target the first battalion and seize the opportunity to destroy his own firepower in one fell swoop when he launched an attack.

After all, fighting a war does not mean you can be successful on the battlefield just by attacking with all your might.

As a commander, if he fails to take one step into consideration, the entire army will be in danger.

During the day, the Red Army's combat group would tie up most of the Blue Army's firepower, which would indeed prevent the opponent from having enough time to deal with them.

what about now?

Chen Jun really didn't believe in those division-level combat groups, so he allowed the existence of the First Battalion, which had long-range attack and modular combat artillery groups.

After all, there is the story of catching a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

The strength displayed by the First Battalion would not be ignored by the Blue Army. Moreover, they were only a battalion-level combat group. How could the Blue Army resist taking action?

Chen Jun was very confused.

A group of officers in the command center stood there in a daze. They also learned about the process of the battalion commander's meeting at the staff headquarters today.

The Blue Army already knew what happened in the morning. It was a battalion that was causing trouble. Although the overall entity of the first battalion was strong, it was placed in the middle of the entire Blue Army combat group.

It's no less than putting a little white mouse into a civet cat's nest.

What exactly is the other party preparing?
It’s not that Chen Jun has too many concerns. In the current situation, if the Blue Army does not attack him first, the firepower in the camp cannot be too active.

Because Chen Jun didn't know if there was someone behind the scenes waiting for him to take action.

I was worried about the current war situation.

As a result, Chen Jun felt an indescribable sense of quietness as he watched night fall around the camp.

Seeing this, his heart was heavy, just like the huge mouth of the abyss, staring at the camp with greedy eyes.

"I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight."

Chen Jun put his hands on his hips and muttered something, then turned to look at the deputy battalion commander.

"Old horse."

"arrive!!"

"Go, notify all the soldiers in the reconnaissance company to return to the camp. Also, notify the comrades who are assigned to investigate near the 16th Brigade to come back."

"Tonight, the entire battalion should step up their alert and detect the secret sentries, and extend the distance a little further. I don't think it will be peaceful tonight."

"Okay, I see."

After receiving the order, Ma Hongjie immediately began to make arrangements according to Chen Jun's instructions.

Chen Jun's judgment of the crisis before the war is not without reason.

Because if you look at it carefully, the current situation of the First Battalion is really not very optimistic.

The main problem is that the information between the two parties is not equal at all.

After the 16th Brigade encountered a sudden attack from the 124st Battalion, the enemy transmitted the location of the st Battalion’s base to the th Division via ballistic radar.

Plus at the meeting.

Chen Jun introduced himself again, Li Hongyang, the commander of the 124th Division, who knew his future son-in-law quite well.

But Chen Jun had no idea that the Blue Army’s main division, the 124th Division, was on the battlefield.

In this annual military exercise, the Eastern Theater Command mobilized firepower across regions and transferred troops from the Southern Theater Command, and the directorate did not make any public announcement before the war began.

How would Chen Jun know where to go?
The current situation is that the commanders of the Blue Army know exactly how large the organization of the combined battalion under the 179th Motorized Infantry Brigade is and the details of its specific firepower configuration.

As for Chen Jun, he didn't even know which units the heads of division-level units who appeared at the meeting were from.

What the hell is this?

On the first battalion's side, they were making intensive preparations to deal with the attack from the Blue Army which might come at any time.

The 124th Division also began its preparatory work.

Inside the temporary divisional command post.

At this time, Li Hongyang was sitting in the command position, holding the thermos cup in his hands leisurely and sipping tea one sip at a time.

Fang Tao, the division chief of staff and deputy division commander, suddenly opened the tent curtain and walked in with a smile on his face.

"Division Commander, according to your instructions, I borrowed a surface-to-air missile battalion from other units, and borrowed several Type 09 anti-aircraft guns from the Army Aviation Regiment."

"We can't get the Land Shield 2000 anti-aircraft guns. They have all been assigned to the baggage depot as the main air defense force. We don't have much face in the east, so they won't give us those things."

"But with these, your son-in-law should have enough to drink, right?"

"Well, that should be enough."

Li Hongyang put down the thermos cup in his hand and laughed.

What did he say about Chen Jun? To be honest, Li Hongyang had no objection to letting his daughter marry this guy.

Besides, the old man has already nodded, what else can he say?
But he is a father after all. He has raised his daughter for more than 20 years, and now she is suddenly going to be taken home to live with her. Li Hongyang feels uncomfortable no matter how he thinks about it.

This is his youngest daughter, and he is really reluctant to let her get married off like this.

As if he had seen through the teacher's thoughts, Fang Tao, who had just come in, couldn't help but curl his lips: "Teacher, don't blame me for being talkative."

"It's really not easy to be your son-in-law. Chen Jun hasn't been to your house to see you yet, right?" "Are you willing to let him suffer a great loss on the battlefield?"

"It's not a question of whether you are willing to give it up or not. It's that you underestimate him."

Li Hongyang ignored Fang Tao's joke. He shook his head slightly, put down the thermos cup in his hand and continued: "You not only underestimated Chen Jun, but also underestimated the power of the first combined battalion in the entire army."

"From what I understand, in addition to modular rocket launchers, the First Battalion also has two vehicle-mounted drones, as well as hundreds of reconnaissance, attack, and jamming drones."

“And the entire battalion is equipped with a new information-based command platform established by the National University of Defense Technology delegation.”

“Its practicality is even higher than the second-generation information-based command platform.”

"The enemy can truly achieve 360-degree operations on all combat units on the battlefield without blind spots."

"Believe it or not, I'll let you lead a mechanized infantry regiment and an armored regiment to attack a battalion."

"When our firepower is still ten kilometers away from him, the specific location of your headquarters, including the maneuvering route, the time of arrival at the battlefield, and all the firepower can be accurately determined by their informationized command system?"

"so smart?"

Fang Tao looked at the commander in front of him in shock, obviously shocked.

“It’s not a question of how powerful you are.”

Li Hongyang waved his hand: "When mechanization meets informatization, there is no point in playing."

"Do you think the current First Battalion is the same First Battalion that did the National Day training before?"

"They now have brigade-level units doing logistics and the First Army's logistics to provide support. The number of people in the entire battalion doing logistics support is greater than the number of people doing frontline combat."

"With this kind of logistical support, how much firepower can't be unleashed? You don't really think that the enemy would dare to find any of our units this morning and open fire without any hesitation."

"Youth is the hot-tempered youth, isn't it?"

"The General Staff held a meeting and the First Battalion revealed its coordinates. The people above just agreed without saying anything. Didn't anyone worry that the First Battalion would suffer any loss?"

"It's not that easy to deal with him."

Listening to the division commander analyzing the advantages of the Red Army's combined battalion word by word, Fang Tao couldn't help but sigh.

Of course he knew that the commander said this partly because he was trying to show off that he had a capable son-in-law and was exaggerating.

But some objective facts cannot be corrected.

A battalion is nothing, and a combined battalion is nothing either, but if this battalion-level battle group is equipped with the highest standard of logistical support, even brigade-level and army-level logistics can be mobilized.

That's definitely not a mechanized infantry regiment that can go and commit fraud.

Of course, this does not mean that the 124th Division is afraid of a combined battalion. It is far from being afraid.

This is some of the most basic analysis on the battlefield of an enemy that is about to attack.

You know, on the entire battlefield, the Blue Army has more than one 124th Division, and the Red Army has more than one combined battalion.

As long as the battle starts here, the division must ensure that it can withstand the full-scale attack of other Red Army firepower within a certain period of time.

It is impossible to use all the main forces to fight against one, only the battalion-level units with sufficient logistics are needed.

The 124th Division of the Southern Theater Command is also an amphibious armored division, with two amphibious mechanized infantry regiments and one armored regiment under its command.

Each amphibious mechanized infantry regiment is composed of three armored infantry battalions and a howitzer battalion. Each armored infantry battalion is equipped with 3 ZBD-31 amphibious assault vehicles and 05 6mm mortars.

The howitzer battalion is equipped with 07 Type 122B 18mm amphibious self-propelled howitzers.

The armored regiment under the division is much simpler, consisting of only three tank battalions, one armored infantry battalion, and one howitzer battalion.

装备有93辆105mm炮的两栖突击车，31辆两栖运兵车，18门122毫米两栖自行榴弹炮。

Doesn’t that sound like a lot of firepower?
Because if we add the firepower directly under the division and the regiment, and not count all the others, there are nearly four hundred tanks that can fire and produce fire.

If logistics are taken into account, the number of tanks can be directly increased to nearly a thousand.

In 2017, the 124th Division was indeed the world's largest and most combat-capable amphibious armored assault group, far exceeding the U.S. Marine Corps of the same period.

But the problem is that the entire division has no long-range firepower, and almost all naval amphibious combat units have this shortcoming.

There is nothing wrong with the 124th Division's mobility.

It is definitely more flexible than the combined battalion. Just sending out an armored cluster to chase and intercept, hundreds of tanks can completely destroy the battalion in the 1221 area.

The key point is that their firepower cluster can't get close to the first battalion at all.

If we go too few, we won't be able to withstand the bombing of the opponent's two vehicle-mounted drones. If we go more, it would be feasible to attack in different directions.

But in that case, even if we kill two thousand people in a battalion.

The main force of the 124th Division would also lose at least one-third, which would be too embarrassing.

After much thought, I came up with a variety of reasons.

Li Hongyang decided to transfer a surface-to-air missile battalion from other places, plus several Type 09 anti-aircraft guns, to cooperate with a mechanized infantry regiment.

Plus the division’s direct reconnaissance company.

A combined main force of five battalions attacked the first battalion.

"Master, have you decided?"

"Do you really want to beat your son-in-law?"

Fang Tao saw that Li Hongyang was very determined. He sighed, stood up and straightened his military cap, and finally asked.

"Don't confuse it with what I mean by I want to beat my son-in-law."

Li Hongyang stood up and walked outside the command room. He looked at the darkening night sky and said with a smile: "He probably doesn't know who I am yet."

"But a battlefield is a battlefield. Just like what that guy said, the exercise is a simulation of war. We are the only one closest to him in the entire 1221 area."

"If other units want to deploy troops for long-distance attacks, the Red Army must agree to it."

"Go ahead. Don't hold back on that guy. After you wipe out the first battalion, take him to the division's prisoner-of-war camp and let him sit on the bench for a few days."

"You little brat, it's been several days since you went to Kyoto to see the old man, but you still don't remember to come and see me. It's time to teach him a lesson."

"Since he doesn't want to see me, then I'll meet him."

"Yes, Commander."

"I promise to complete the mission before dawn and bring the boy back to you."

Fang Tao grinned, then turned around and prepared to arrange for the move.

They have already applied to the directorate for night combat, and tonight will be the day when the entire battalion will be destroyed.

Fang Tao has this determination.

No matter what, he is the deputy division commander and chief of staff of the division. Who can get to this point without some skills?
6:19 on the evening of the 00th.

The joint regiment dispatched by the 124th Division rumbled out.

Hundreds of tanks were deployed in formation, with their taillights turned on, and they headed towards the location of the first battalion's base.

Fang Tao had no idea where the combined battalion was exactly, and the scouts he sent out had not returned yet.

But the commander said so.

For this kind of informationized combat unit, you don't need to know its specific coordinates, you just need to move it within a ten-kilometer radius.

The other party will naturally come to you.
