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

Chapter 489: Fighting in the air, worthy of being Chief of Staff Chen
It is no exaggeration to say that it was the 179th Brigade’s decisive battle.

At 10:1 p.m. on October 25, as three-color flares were fired from the red and blue bases, hundreds of drones from the rear of Zone took off in four directions.

Whooshing away into the distance.

The combined brigade's powerful air-to-ground reconnaissance capability appeared in actual combat for the first time.

To ensure the normal passage of the cluster's dynamic chain and prevent the enemy from using triangulation to lock the position of the commander in the cluster.

Chen Jun ordered that all the onboard radios in the command vehicle be removed and moved to ordinary vehicles.

As a result, some equipment and combat units of the 179th Brigade must switch to the communication channels of other units.

Share communications and command.

But it doesn’t matter. There was no equipment dismantled in Chen Jun’s command vehicle. In such a large-scale cluster assault, his role as the commander-in-chief was actually not very important.

The key lies in the coordination between the various battalions and companies. He is responsible for coordinating the overall situation and making adjustments when necessary. There is no need to use communications too much.

This way, it will not be so easy to be targeted by the enemy.

Looking inside the command vehicle, the drone flew rapidly and displayed the forward images on the information command terminal.

Including the drones flying over the tank cluster, they also transmit the entire battle formation to the terminal.

Chen Jun began to issue a series of instructions with an expressionless face.

"Everyone move out according to the plan."

"Attention, first battalion assault squad, immediately reduce speed collectively, control tank speed to 1/3 of full speed, shrink tactical formation, reduce spacing to 150 meters, secondary substitute squad advances, prepare to replenish in sequence."

"Request that the backup tanks follow up promptly to maintain the maximum firepower output of the spearhead units."

"It is required that the battle formations of all battalions, companies, platoons and squads be coordinated strictly in accordance with combat procedures, and the command tanks must play their role."

"Requirements: Infantry units, organized into combat squads, dispersed to protect tank crews."

"It is required that during the maneuvering and assaulting process, the infantry units make good use of armored infantry fighting vehicles according to the changes in the assault speed, keep up with the sequence rhythm, and coordinate well between infantry and tanks."

"The other anti-tank missile and grenade launcher groups will coordinate with the accompanying drones to maneuver to the left and right wings."

"Request, sniper team, free hunting of enemy infantry commanding officers."

"Once we encounter an enemy blockade, we will immediately destroy the enemy's infantry organization and paralyze its infantry-tank coordination system."

"Logistics support battalion, continue to follow up at 15km. During the subsequent tactical penetration, logistics ammunition trucks will circle and maneuver. Pay attention to the two depth distances."

"Provide battlefield reinforcements to the main combat team at any time at the 5km and 8km nodes."

"."

Orders were continuously issued as Chen Jun sat in the command vehicle with a cold look in his eyes.

Watch the entire armored chain spring into action.

It has to be admitted that Chen Jun is very familiar with the current combat effectiveness of the combined brigade.

Based on the deployment of his own mobile forces, he had already determined that the Red Army's firepower of the same scale would be able to block it with all their strength.

5km and 8km are the connection points of the opponent's firepower.

Of course, it is not necessary if it is farther away. If we encounter the Red Army and the advance distance exceeds 8km, the Red Army’s buttocks will probably be pierced.

There is no need for logistics to prepare ammunition supplies.

Good guy.

The movement of the 179th Brigade was not a big deal. Hundreds of soldiers from the 2nd Combined Brigade, which was right next to their base, gathered at the base.

They all looked at the 179th Brigade's armored group moving out.

Many soldiers rubbed their eyes, feeling the ground shaking in shock, then looked at the endless array of tanks in front of them, heading off to fight in a mighty manner.

Some people's eyes widened: "Damn, is the 179th Brigade always so fierce in battle?"

"We're going to fight the decisive battle right after the war begins?"

"I heard that Chief of Staff Chen of the 179th Brigade is about the same age as us. Young people are brave and aggressive when fighting, but I have never seen anyone lead a brigade to fight like this."

"What you said is all bullshit. If I could become the chief of staff in my twenties, I would be even crazier than that chief of staff Chen."

"Bah, even if you were made chief of staff, could you command a brigade? A squad's combat group is enough to keep you thinking about it for two nights."

"What, what?"

When many veterans of the Blue Army's 2nd Combined Brigade were chatting happily, a burly major battalion commander suddenly came up from behind.

The battalion commander angrily shouted at the gathered soldiers: "What are you all making such a fuss about?"

"Everyone, disperse, return to your posts, squads, platoons, and companies, bring the people back."

The major battalion commander shouted a few words and drove away all the soldiers gathered nearby. Then he stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the group of tanks that were gradually moving away.

The excitement and envy in his eyes could not be concealed.

This major battalion commander was none other than Wang Yanrong, the former commander of the anti-aircraft machine gun company of the Combined Battalion.

Now, he has been promoted to the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the nd Combined Brigade of the st Army.

Wang Yanrong stared at the convoy silently for a while, then turned quickly and rushed to the brigade command room.

He had expected that the Blue Army in District 26 would make such a big fuss, and their 2nd Brigade, as the Blue Army in District 25, had to help out no matter what.

At least we have to contain the Red Army troops in District 25, and we must not let those Sun thieves go to support the Red Army in District 26.

At that time, Battalion Commander Chen was going to lead his troops to a decisive battle with the Red Army. Wang Yanrong felt that he had no chance to follow the battalion commander and charge into the battle line, but he had to at least hold back the Red Army on his side.

Buy time for Captain Chen.

Chen Jun's move was not a big deal. Not only did the Blue Army in District 25 begin to gather its troops, but the Blue Army in District 27 was also gathering.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the battlefield, which had just started, was stirred up several levels by the actions of the 179th Brigade.

Fuzhou, inside the Eastern Army General Staff Headquarters.

The originally relaxed group of staff officers were doing their respective duties, wondering how each unit would kick off the war next.

After receiving the news that the entire Blue Army of District 26 was dispatched.

My goodness! Even the commander-in-chief Shen Hongwei, political commissar Chai Yansong, and chief of staff Xu Hesheng were alarmed.

The three of them strode to the screen in the director's office.

Looking at the tank assault cluster photographed from high altitude, plus the logistics following behind, the entire brigade's cluster spreads out for a full 25km.

This is an assault formation with an armor depth of more than 20 kilometers.

Looking down from a high altitude, it is more than just shocking to describe it.

The theater chief of staff Xu Hesheng stared at the tank cluster. He shook his head slightly and smiled, "This Chen Jun is really capable of making trouble. It seems that he wants to avenge the provocation of the 92nd Brigade yesterday."

The Chief of Staff of the Eastern Theater Command also has some connections with Chen Jun.

When Chen Jun was a freshman in college, he interned in the Red 9th Company. During the internship, he participated in a Warrior Cup competition and was present at the night shooting. It was this Chief of Staff Xu who later awarded Chen Jun the second-class individual merit.

Therefore, he had a very deep impression of Chen Jun.

Hearing the talk of revenge, Political Commissar Chai standing by smiled and said with his hands behind his back: "This little guy doesn't look like he's seeking revenge. He's trying to swallow up the Red Army troops in District 26 in one gulp."

"What a big appetite."

"Old Shen, do you think the 26nd Brigade in District 92 can stop this assault group?"

Political Commissar Chai looked at the commander-in-chief.

Shen Hongwei hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's hard to say, but Chen Jun is obviously going to fight to the death."

"I remember that this guy was not so reckless in fighting. He always kept some tricks in reserve. At first I thought he would try to attack and measure the difference between the two sides first."

"Now it seems that I underestimated this kid."

Shen Hongwei's usually serious face rarely showed a smile, and then he turned around and ordered: "Go, notify all participating units that no unit can interfere with the operations in Area 26."

“Wait for the results.”

"Yes!!"

With the order from the commander-in-chief, the blue troops in the 25th and 27th districts, which were still ready to move, suddenly stopped firing. The higher-ups had ordered them not to interfere. So the assault of the 179th Brigade had obviously received enough attention.

Some people may not understand, isn’t it just the dynamic chain of the assault cluster of a combined brigade?

How could it cause such a big commotion?

Hey! It really works.

To understand the dynamic chain, we must first understand the concept of steel torrent.

What is the steel torrent?

Maybe many people cannot fully understand the connotation.

The Iron Torrent refers to the 179th Brigade, a mobile warfare assault cluster consisting of nearly 6000 troops.

This kind of assault group has a movement depth, and the 6000 people are not crowded together.

Instead, it is centered around main battle tanks and other technical weapons, and is deployed along the horizontal lines of the battlefield to ensure firepower and combat effectiveness while forming multiple combat waves.

There is a physical chain connection between waves, and there is even a chain between two independent units.

The cluster is to achieve the purpose of combat assault. The armored depth of the 179th Brigade is as deep as 25 kilometers. This is the real meaning of torrent.

Moreover, Fuzhou's terrain is mostly mountainous and hilly.

During the advance, this assault cluster must constantly make major adjustments to its formation and direction based on the terrain or dynamic changes on the battlefield.

They are all based on cluster assault capabilities.

When adjusting, the physical connection between independent units is very important.

The 179th Brigade, with only two months of training, dared to fight in unfamiliar terrain and risk the possibility of modern warfare disrupting the three organizational chains of communication, logistics, and command.

Launch an attack brazenly.

Forming a battle group stretching for dozens of kilometers.

From this we can see how bold the 179th Brigade was and how daring Chen Jun's decision was.

To know.

The 179th Brigade will integrate nearly 6000 soldiers with different combat functions, hundreds of technical weapons of more than 20 categories, and more than 100 main and auxiliary combat units.

If the combat units are calculated by squad, the number can exceed 500.

Such a complex assault battle seems invincible, but under the conditions of modern warfare, once the command at all levels suffers serious damage, communications are completely cut off and logistics cannot be replenished.

That will lead to destruction faster.

This is why it is said that the most complicated leadership management in the world is commanding operations.

Senior officers in the field army are eliminated at the bottom of each level, which is quite cruel.

But cruelty is better than being incapable of command.

If we don’t have the capability, how can we command and coordinate large-scale operations?

It is precisely because of this that at the grassroots level of the field army, soldiers want to join the special forces, whether for the future, passion, or the influence of TV dramas.

Anyway, there will be idealism.

But among 100 professional officers, if there are 5 who want to join the special forces, then the special forces will probably have to light incense and kowtow nine times to thank heaven and earth.

Chen Jun's move attracted enough attention.

Of course, the people on the 92nd Brigade are not just there to do the work. There is no way for such a large-scale assault group to hide its motives.

Chen Jun was commanding the troops, and the staff group was constantly making maneuverable adjustments based on the terrain information sent back by their own drones.

They set out in such a mighty force that they had not even traveled ten kilometers.

The 30nd Brigade of the Red Army had received the news when it was less than 92 kilometers away from the Red Army's advance troops.

"What?!!"

"The Blue Army has dispatched an armored group and is maneuvering towards our position?"

When Liu Xiang, commander of the 92nd Brigade, first received the report, he was holding a cup of water and thinking about how to find the Blue Army to try a small-scale conflict and test its combat effectiveness at the same time.

Now, I could hardly hold the cup of water in my hand.

"This madman."

Brigade Commander Liu placed the cup heavily on his desk and immediately ordered: "Go, gather the first, second, third, and fourth battalions, with the fourth battalion as the main force."

"Keep the Blue Army out of the first line of defense."

"Notify the artillery battalion to blow up the Blue Army's cluster at all costs."

"Yes!!"

Liu Xiang did not expect the Blue Army to move so quickly. Facing the armored cluster, he could not think of a good solution for a while.

Just like Chen Jun said, let Lao Liu have a taste of the power of this armored cluster. This is not just talk.

There are no helicopters. No, that's not right. With the introduction of the 99A, this thing can launch short-range surface-to-air missiles, which has seriously threatened the status of helicopters.

Today, the combat effectiveness of tank clusters has been upgraded with the updating and iteration of weapons.

Not to mention that the 92nd Brigade does not have a helicopter squadron, even if it does, he would not dare to be so extravagant as to use a helicopter to compete with tanks for health.

The weather resistance of the 99A composite armor is no longer a secret.

That guy is simply a ground beast.

After Liu Xiang arranged for his troops to go out and intercept, he immediately convened his subordinate staff to discuss countermeasures.

But the command center remained calm.

It doesn't mean that the battlefield can be peaceful.

Chen Jun was sitting in the command vehicle, following the tank's forward maneuvers, when the ground-to-air radar suddenly flashed red.

Drop drop! ! !
Air defense warnings continue to remind.

Now the information command system is controlled by the Wild Dog system. As soon as the air defense system sounded the alarm, the air defense battalion's interception firepower data was transmitted.

The 18 anti-aircraft guns and six short-range field air defense missile vehicles in the assault cluster all raised their launch tubes.

Boom boom boom.
The Wild Dog command system is linked to the fire control system, and with the assistance of radar, there is no need to wait for Chen Jun to issue orders.

The anti-aircraft missile vehicle began to fire missiles wildly.

"All tanks continue to move forward at a constant speed. Artillery battalion, anti-aircraft battalion, stop the enemy's attack."

"Artillery camp has arrived!!"

"Air defense battalion has arrived!!"

Chen Jun issued the order only to stabilize the soldiers in each battalion in the cluster.

And the long-range war has already begun.

Whoosh whoosh!
The Red Army's rocket launcher was locked onto the Blue Army's radar and the Wild Dog system controlled the counterattack, which was more than three times faster than the speed of the soldiers' operation.

Compete in long-range firepower?
The 179th Brigade was not afraid at all.

The fierce sound of rocket launches made the sky of the entire combat zone constantly light up with dazzling white light, leaving behind trails of white smoke.

In this kind of war, there is no winner or loser.

The long-range artillery company of the 179th Brigade fired, and the air defense battalion also tried its best to intercept and organize the enemy's rocket artillery attacks.

However, this interception is not 100%.

boom! boom! boom!
Hundreds of rockets whizzed into the ground.

An area of ​​three square kilometers was covered by thick smoke.

The roar of tanks, the explosion of rocket launchers, and the sound of anti-aircraft guns firing.

In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield was covered.
