Chapter 471: Tactical Game, the Army Sets Out

The notice issued by the war zone was not confidential, and the 179th Brigade knew that there would be an opponent in this joint training.

And the opponent is from the same army group, four combined battalions of the 236th Combined Brigade.

After Chen Jun received the news, he actively deployed the next battle.

Ji Tong was not idle either.

At noon on August 8, the heavy rain had just stopped and the air was still filled with the smell of earth.

There were more than a dozen battalion-level officers from the 236th Combined Brigade, including four combined battalion commanders, all of whom came to the brigade meeting room with solemn expressions on their faces.

You have to be serious.

The 179th Combined Brigade was well-known, and Chief of Staff Chen was once known as the commander of the best battalion in the entire army.

Could it be possible that a commander who could overwhelm a battalion-level unit was a good person?

As the saying goes, a man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.

These battalion commanders had no intention of taking advantage of the joint training with the 179th Brigade.

They just hope they don’t lose too badly tomorrow.

In a one-on-one fight, they felt uncertain whether they could beat Chen Jun.

What's more, now there are four battalions against one brigade. It's just like a rooster laying eggs and a hen crowing. It's just wishful thinking.

This is not.

Conference room of the 236th Combined Brigade.

Brigade Commander Guo Xiangnan and Chief of Staff Ji Tong sat at the front of the conference table. They looked at the cadres in the conference room, looking silent and uninterested.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

In fact, they also felt that the arrangement this time was ill-considered. After all, the 179th Brigade, a unit that was so arrogant all day long, had never been involved in joint training.

Naturally, their 236th Brigade had never had any contact with them.

As a result, joint training was carried out right from the start.

To be honest, neither of them was sure.

However, no matter how uncertain we are, the war must be fought.

Brigade Commander Guo Xiangnan nodded to Chief of Staff Ji Tong, indicating that he should preside over the meeting.

Old Ji did not hesitate. He straightened his body, clenched his fist, put it under his nose, coughed lightly, and then knocked on the conference table: "Okay, comrades, I know what you think."

"Everyone feels that tomorrow's battle will be difficult and we will be beaten badly, right?"

Ji Tong's words fell.

All the officials at the scene looked up at each other, and no one said anything. Wasn't this an obvious thing?

Taking a few people who have no experience in commanding a combined battalion to deal with someone who not only has rich experience but also commands an entire combined brigade.

If they can still win this battle, then Chen Jun will no longer be the youngest chief of staff in the entire military region.

But they who were present.

"Don't worry, Chen Jun is not that amazing. As far as I know, because of this joint training, the boy hasn't slept for two days."

Noticing that none of the cadres present said anything, Ji Tong smiled, stood up and opened the electronic map of the conference room.

The map shows the areas divided by the military regions for joint training this time.

Ji Tong held the infrared light in his hand and walked around the map until everyone's attention was focused on him.

He continued, "According to the combat regulations stipulated by the military, the entire battlefield for this joint training is only 30 kilometers wide and 26 kilometers deep."

"Deploying the firepower of a brigade into this range, plus our four combined battalions, can really do a lot."

"Regarding the combined forces brigade, comrades should all be aware that we currently do not have the advantage of assault firepower, which is only applicable to local wars."

“The same is true for the 179th Brigade, and the main focus of this joint training of the 179th Brigade is the artillery battalion and rocket artillery company.”

"A salvo of 122 rockets from nine 360 rocket launchers can cover an area of ​​about three square kilometers."

"But if the rocket launchers want to be effective, their reconnaissance must be dispatched first to lock on to the position of our main force."

"You should know that the best time to launch rocket launchers is definitely not after the enemy launches an assault, but when the enemy is in the process of maneuvering and the equipment is relatively concentrated, so that the strike effect can be optimized."

"In a battlefield like this with a small combat zone and dense enemy firepower, the enemy wants to detect our tracks and take countermeasures."

"I guess it's not that easy?"

After Ji Tong made a confident analysis, he looked calmly at the cadres in the meeting room.

Anyway, his words and actions were all revealing a signal.

That is, the 179th Brigade invested too much firepower, the unit's target was too large, and the combat area was too small.

So the advantage is on their side.

It has to be said that anyone who can serve as Chief of Staff is very capable.

With just a few words, Old Ji dispelled most of the worries of the cadres present.

"So, let me arrange the tactics for tomorrow's joint training."

"The communication range of our combined battalion's high-frequency walkie-talkie is limited. We must avoid being interfered with by the 179th Brigade's electromagnetic spectrum signals and disrupting our offensive plan."

"I require you, the First Battalion, the Second Battalion, the Third Battalion, and the Fourth Battalion, to go to the battlefield tomorrow and advance in a dispersed and evasive manner using tank assault formations."

"The distance between each battalion and company is 200 meters, the three-band depth is 400 meters, and infantry fighting vehicles are interspersed and advancing."

"Don't fight if you are intercepted by the enemy. Don't respond if you are invaded by electromagnetic waves. Force the howitzer group to cover the rear and use regional firepower to cover the enemy with downward fire."

"The distance between battalions cannot exceed 2.5 kilometers, nor be less than 2 kilometers."

"Remember, within a limited area, our enemy has two to three times as many troops as us."

"But having more people is not necessarily a good thing. Your mission is to rush to the enemy as quickly as possible and engage in close combat."

"Destroy the layout of the 179th Brigade. I don't ask you to completely wipe out all the main forces of the enemy, but at least you have to tear off a piece of their flesh for me tomorrow."

"Our 36th Division is not a coward, nor is it a soft egg that allows itself to be bullied, even though we are facing the famous Chief of Staff Chen now."

"We're going to beat that bastard to death in tomorrow's training ground."

"Do you understand everything?"

"clear!!!"

In the entire conference room, all the cadres stood up and roared.

Even the air was filled with the smell of a war.

"Go get ready."

Ji Tong waved his hand proudly and dismissed the meeting.

After all the battalion commanders left, the commander of the 236th Combined Brigade, Guo Xiangnan, smiled and took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw one to Ji Tong.

He smiled and said, "Old Ji, Chen Jun is your instructor after all. No matter how you look at it, he is still your teacher."

"If you take this combined combat theory you learned from him to the battlefield tomorrow, will you be able to defeat Chen Jun?"

"I heard that the kid is good at fighting."

"Haha."

When Ji Tong heard what the brigade commander said, he couldn't help but grin: "Now I'm not the only student who wants to beat him up."

"Who among the former cadres from the Central Training Institute and those comrades who went to the 179th Brigade for study doesn't want to beat him?"

"It's not appropriate to say they want to attack Chen Jun. To be more precise, they all want to defeat the 179th Brigade. After all, this mountain is too heavy." "The entire army is learning from their brigade. They are almost becoming public enemies."

Hearing this, Guo Xiangnan nodded slightly without saying anything more.

This is something that cannot be avoided.

He also knew Chen Jun, a very capable young man full of energy.

But I'm just too young.

A young man in his twenties, serving as a deputy regimental-level cadre, leading an entire combined brigade, and many people have studied under him.

So many conditions come together.

How can it not be dazzling?

But the consequence of being dazzling is that a group of people are keeping an eye on it.

. . . . . . . . .

Chen Jun had no idea what preparations the 236th Brigade was making.

Anyway, he was standing in the information command room, looking at the combat range divided by the military region, staring at the terrain on the map in silence.

It is true that Old Ji is the chief of staff.

But Chen Jun’s journey to where he is today was not based on luck alone.

The 179th Brigade needs to deploy all its troops within a certain range, and because the range is reduced, the logistics units on its side that have no combat capability are likely to encounter the enemy first.

Joint training focuses on the combat and coordination capabilities between battalions.

The military district cannot make the combat zone too large, otherwise both sides will wander around for a whole day and neither will be able to find the other.

That would be really embarrassing.

Therefore, in order to avoid joint training tomorrow, the four main battalions of the 236th Brigade entered the battlefield, wandered around aimlessly, and ran into their own logistics troops.

As a result, before the joint training battle even started, their side was the first to lose some troops.

There are only two options left for Chen Jun.

First, take advantage of the combined battalion's mobility to quickly spread out on the battlefield, find the main force of the 236th Brigade in training, and divide and encircle them.

But in this case, rocket launchers would be useless.

Chen Jun didn't care about the change in the joint training plan. It was originally agreed that the combined battalion would just watch the show, so it didn't matter even if they didn't want to watch it and had to go into the battlefield.

After all, the battlefield is unpredictable, and the battle situation between the previous second and the next second may undergo earth-shaking changes.

This is a common occurrence in the military.

But at least we have to fire one round, right?

We can’t let the artillery battalion work in vain for so long.

The second is to strike directly into the heart of the enemy after the war begins.

Chen Jun prefers this method of disrupting the combat layout of the 236th Brigade as soon as possible.

But the problem now is.

How to solve this problem? Nowadays, the organization of combined battalions is modular, and the organization of several brigades is exactly the same.

The four combined battalions together have 12 infantry companies, eight tank companies, four howitzer companies, four combat support companies, and four logistics support companies.

With so many units added up, there are at least 179 troops gathered. Chen Jun would have to arrange four combined battalions within the th Brigade to deal with it.

As soon as the battle began, the main force rushed in and participated in the melee of thousands of people.

It will definitely lead to continuous loss of combat forces on both sides.

The effect will definitely be to block the enemy's attack. In fact, because Fatty He, Ma Hongjie and others have led combined battalions, they have an advantage in experience.

It would not be a problem to break through the 236th Brigade's defense line in the shortest possible time and encircle and annihilate them with equal forces.

But this result did not satisfy Chen Jun.

He was jumping around, sneaking around to other units to look at their organization and to formulate joint training plans, wanting to be the first to try something new.

The purpose is not to conduct regular military training.

What Chen Jun wanted was to be eye-catching, to defeat the larger force with a smaller one and completely destroy the four main battalions of the 236th Brigade.

Electromagnetic spectrum interference is not very effective because the combat range is too small. Interfering with the communications of several enemy battalions will not solve the problem at all.

They will continue to wander around, looking for their target.

Electromagnetic interference bombs are not very effective because their range is too small.

By the time we detect the enemy's position and replace ammunition, I'm afraid they'll have already engaged in close combat.

What's more, instead of replacing electromagnetic interference bombs, it would be more direct to directly launch high-efficiency explosive grenades.

This was the first time he commanded such a large-scale operation.

Chen Jun is really a bit tricky. He is not afraid of not winning, but he just wants to win easily.

This is where the difficulty lies.

No one knew how long Chen Jun stood in the information command room, staring at the battle map.

No one asked about his battle plan.

In short.

At six o'clock in the morning of August 8, a series of shrill air defense sirens sounded throughout all the garrisons of the 5th Brigade.

The entire 9th Battalion of the 1st Brigade was mobilized.

At this time, the heavy rain had completely stopped, and there was a sense of dry heat wandering in the air.

Under the orderly command of each battalion and company unit.

The 179th Combined Brigade, which had been hiding in its nest for half a year, finally began to move out in full force.

Rumble.
The endless chariots slowly slid out of the camp and converged on the main road.

Looking down from the sky on the road near the 179th Brigade camp, the steel torrent consisting of nine battalions was like a sharp spear, advancing madly northward.

The tanks roared with violent momentum and ran beyond the limit of maneuverability.

The hot and dry smell that was originally lingering in the air was soon replaced by a strong smell of diesel.

This is the first time that the 71st Army has used brigade-level firepower since its establishment.

Inside the information command room of the 179th Brigade.

The 71st Army's Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhongyi, Political Commissar Peng Qinglin, and Chief of Staff He Dong came in person to preside over the first joint training of the combined forces brigade.

In addition, many chiefs from the theater army staff also gathered.

But these people just sat on the chairs at the back of the information room, watching the army march.

There is no intention of commanding.

The person in full command of the entire brigade this time was only Chen Jun standing in front of the big screen.

At this time, he was not nervous anymore.

Just stare at the mobile troops, quietly waiting for them to enter the designated combat area.

Only then will the war truly begin.
