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

Chapter 492 This is an exercise, but also a war

"quick!"

"Connect to the Fourth Battalion and ask about the situation on the battlefield!!"

Liu Xiang had a premonition that something was wrong and turned around to arrange for the staff in the command room to contact the Fourth Battalion.

At this time, Brigade Commander Liu was still waiting. Perhaps there was no communication from the battlefield, so he was busy beheading the commander of the Blue Army.

The staff officer nearby had already run to the workbench and connected to the front-line communications.

"Hey!"

"The Fourth Battalion heard the reply, and the brigade commander asked if your Blue Army was in chaos?"

"How did you perform this time with the beheading? Are we going to turn the tide?"

Opposite of communication.

The switchman of the 92th Battalion of the nd Brigade looked at the battlefield in the distance. His tanks, which had broken through the siege at all costs, were now surrounded by the Blue Army and were in a tough battle.

Their battalion commander was staring at the damage with a haggard look on his face and was silent.

The operator even suspected that his brigade commander was out of his mind. He was already in such a bad state after being beaten, and he was still dreaming that the Blue Army would fall apart?

Are you avoiding failure because you are afraid of facing it?

The operator himself didn't realize that something was wrong with his thinking before he could respond.

There was a "boom".

The entire command vehicle shook slightly. Part of the main force of the Fourth Battalion that broke out of the encirclement was exhausted, and even the command vehicle was blown up by a cannon from the Blue Army.

The laser simulation system determined that the command vehicle was destroyed and immediately locked and cut off the power system and braking system in the vehicle, and communications were directly interrupted.

"Hello?!!"

"Fourth Battalion?"

"Hey!!!"

Inside the Red Army command room, the staff officer in charge of communications spoke in a loud and impatient voice, but unfortunately no one responded to him.

"brigadier."

The staff officer who answered the call looked at Liu Xiang with a trembling voice. At this point, no matter how much they comforted themselves, they could only realize that the breakout and decapitation plan had failed.

"Notice, frontline troops, retreat as far as possible, withdraw from the first line of defense, and try to get rid of the encirclement of the Blue Army."

"Fourth Battalion, Third Battalion, do your best to cover the rear and integrate firepower at the second line of defense."

Liu Xiang took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and tried his best to make his voice sound normal.

This is the most basic performance as a commander.

but.

Everyone present was not an outsider, and no one knew better than them what it meant to withdraw the first line of defense.

The breakout and decapitation plan failed. Most of the main forces of the 92nd Brigade were wiped out. They couldn’t even hold the first line of defense, so how could they hold the second line?
What's more, in such a large-scale battle, the firepower of both sides was entangled, and retreat would only expose their backs to the enemy, even though the 4th and 3rd Battalions were there to cover their retreat.

But here's the thing.

After fighting for so long, they still can’t do anything to the Blue Army head-on. Their firepower has been severely depleted. Do they still have the ability to cover their retreat?

This is just a way of not wanting to admit failure and stalling for time.

Moreover, if we choose to retreat at this time, we may be defeated even faster.

The staff officer who received the order twitched the corner of his mouth and then turned his gaze to the political commissar.

The defeat was already certain, and he hoped that the political commissar would stand up and say something.

After all, the first defeat was too heavy a blow for their 92nd Brigade.

Wei Jinan noticed the staff officer's gaze, he waved his hand slightly and said nothing.

Military command is the job of the brigade commander and the chief of staff, but when the brigade commander is particularly strong, the chief of staff's presence will be very low.

At this time, as a political commissar, what he should consider is how to appease the soldiers after the war, rather than comforting the brigade commander.

Old Liu has to carry it all on his own.

After a long while, Liu Xiang turned around and asked with a puzzled look in his eyes: "I want to know who is the commander of the Blue Army this time?"

"Is it Lao Feng or Chen Jun?"

"Also, what went wrong with our decapitation plan?"

No one in the Red Army command could give an answer to this question.

The only one who can give the answer is Chen Jun.

That’s right, it’s Chen Jun.

On the battlefield at this time.

The Red Army's breakout firepower was still accurately searching for the command and communication vehicle, attempting to cut off the Blue Army's cluster movement chain command by beheading the commander.

Unfortunately, there was no target they wanted to behead in the command vehicle they chose.

There were only the Blue Army's 4th Combined Battalion, which had always been placed in the rear by Chen Jun to coordinate with logistics, artillery battalion, air defense battalion, and infantry of the combat support battalion.

That’s right, since the beginning of the war, the three infantry companies under the Fourth Battalion have never appeared on the battlefield.

These people have been hiding in the tanks and the infantry fighting vehicles around the communication vehicles, each holding an individual anti-tank missile, waiting for the Red Army.

In fact, Chen Jun didn't know what methods the Red Army would use to deal with this assault group.

But this kind of assault tactics has limited weaknesses.

The most feared thing is the bombing by the Air Force, but this can be ruled out because the various units did not call on the Air Force this time.

The second thing he was afraid of was that the enemy would exchange infantry casualties for heavy tanks, and Chen Jun was prepared for that.

The last thing they were afraid of was the cutting off of communications. After all, the 179th Brigade had only a very short time to train in this kind of assault tactics and could not compare with the 236th Brigade.

In addition to cutting off communications, what is even more frightening is that even the commander may be beheaded by the enemy.

With such a huge weakness, how could Chen Jun not be prepared?

You can say that Chen Jun’s calculation ability is not good, or that his experience in tactical and campaign command is too limited, or even that he has poor system integration ability.

But one thing must be admitted, Chen Jun was the most cautious when fighting. Even after a training session was over, he could still stare at the combat process and analyze it frame by frame.

Liu Xiang lost precisely because of his caution.

For example, when the Blue Army's assault group was on its way, the Red Army tried many times to cut off communications and interfere with the Blue Army, but unfortunately none of them worked.

If Chen Jun was replaced by Liu Xiang at that time, he would definitely try every means to obtain the information of the opposing commander.

Get to know each other as much as possible.

What a joke.

When Chen Jun was a senior in college, he followed the old leader of the information corps and attended classes for nine months.

We are familiar with electronic countermeasures and communication anti-interference.

And yet Liu Xiang actually ignored such obvious information and tried to use communications means to attack the Blue Army?

Chen Jun himself may not be able to operate it, but when it comes to this kind of theoretical practice, he is far better than other commanders.

Is the Eaglet Training Program a joke?
What's more, Chen Jun was born in Longya. If you play the beheading game with him, isn't this just like a birthday star hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long?

to be frank.

When Chen Jun saw the Red Army's indiscriminate artillery attack and even blowing up their own people, he was actually looking forward to the opponent doing something different this time.

So that he can also see it and broaden his eyes.

After all, such a cruel method is beyond the reach of Chen Jun at the moment.

As a result, after breaking out, the beheading began, which instantly made Chen Jun lose interest.

As for why he did not adjust the Blues' strategic deployment.

There is no need to ask this question. No matter what actions the Red Army takes, now that the armored assault chain has been formed, it cannot be easily changed.

If you change your formation just because the enemy breaks out, then you'll be attacking in the vain, and you'll only bring yourself to a disadvantage.

As a commando soldier who has witnessed future informationized warfare, Chen Jun has also studied large-scale informationized troop warfare.

He may not be particularly knowledgeable about information technology, but at least he attaches great importance to the electronic company that can launch information warfare.

So, at the beginning of the war.

The entire command chain of the 179th Brigade was in anti-informationized reconnaissance mode from beginning to end.

He sat there from dawn till afternoon, repeatedly rehearsing the details of the entire operation in his mind. It was not a random rehearsal. This anti-informationized reconnaissance mode was actually very easy to understand. Chen Jun's own command vehicle was like this. He rarely spoke during the whole process, and he was a blind spot in the electromagnetic communications deciphered by the enemy.

Explain it more simply.

For example, the important command nodes of the entire 179th Brigade are brigade, battalion, company, and platoon, and there are many nodes.

All you need to do is dismantle their communication radios and change the channels, so that the communication commands issued by each command crew will have the same frequency as the command tanks of ordinary squadrons.

That means the battalion commander issues orders as frequently as the sergeant major.

Of course, in reality, the battalion commander cannot just talk. If he gives several orders every minute, the whole battalion will be confused.

What's the point of fighting a war?

Therefore, the rhythm of command at each battalion, company, platoon, or brigade level is regular.

If you want to create an illusion and deceive the enemy's electromagnetic capture, you only need to change the commander's channel, add some invalid commands, and create a frequency that conforms to this law.

In addition, some ordinary tanks want to deceive the enemy, so they will not make any sound during combat, and all signals will be released according to the rules of the commander.

This is roughly what it means, and it also involves very complex and hardcore anti-informatization actions.

You also need to understand the electromagnetic fraud and anti-fraud involved. In short, it is not that easy to operate.

But it is obvious that Chen Jun's back-up plan worked.

The entire Red Army unit fell into the trap he had set.

Boom boom boom.
The explosions around continued.

But there was no suspense in the battle situation anymore. If the Red Army did not fight to the death, it might be able to hold out for quite some time.

But not only did he fight, he also fought right into the Blues' open pocket.

The ending can be imagined.

On the battlefield, the main force of the Fourth Battalion, which the Red Army was most proud of, was partially destroyed by the First Battalion of the Blue Army, and some was blown up by their own people.

Now all the infantry arranged by Chen Jun were ambushed.

Behind the cluster, the Blue Army's 4th Combined Battalion was attacking the Red Army's reconnaissance battalion with all its might to protect its own logistics.

As Liu Xiang's orders reached the battlefield, the Third Battalion's few firepower units carried out the rearguard mission.

The first and second battalions began to retreat, trying to hold the second line of defense.

But, can we withdraw?

The Blue Army's assault group was spread out horizontally for several kilometers. Although the tip of the spear was blown off, the "U"-shaped encirclement on both wings was still there.

When retreating from the enemy's gap, the Blue Army's artillery company did not move. Only the 99A, a big treasure that they found rare but others found a headache, was placed halfway across the road.

The retreating Red Army troops accelerated their retreat frantically, sometimes forming an "S" shape and sometimes a "B" shape on their route.

Well, there is no type B.

But no matter what, retreat is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Only nine seconds had passed on the battlefield when a round of artillery fire hit the retreating Red Army and large numbers of tanks were destroyed.

This fully computerized informationized tank has battlefield radar reconnaissance and fire control, has 1 lines of code, covers 15 types of warfare modes, and automates the target allocation for mainstream battlefield situations.

It is enough to turn the 99A tank into a rapid-fire gun that can fire at the limit of its loading capacity. It does not even need to move, just stop and aim, and the Red Army troops one kilometer away are continuously destroyed.

Of course, the commanders of the Red Army were no pushovers either.

Seeing that a forced retreat was not going to work, the commander of the Red Army's combined battalion immediately shouted on the communication channel.

“Don’t mess around!!”

"withstand!!"

"I order the tanks to prepare for alternating cover. Change the formation. The rear tanks follow the front tanks, and the front tanks block the trajectory of the rear tanks."

"Comrades, it's time to sacrifice. Cover the vehicles behind and seize the opportunity to fight."

It has to be said that not only are the command tactics of the 92nd Combined Brigade ruthless, but even the battalion commanders below are ruthless enough.

As the battalion commander gave the order.

The retreating formation suddenly began to change, with two vehicles running in a line, using the damage inflicted on the front vehicle to buy distance for the rear vehicle to retreat.

This is a tragic tactical change, just like the soldiers lining up to blow up bunkers in the past.

But at this critical moment of life and death, the Red Army's blood was thoroughly aroused.

As a soldier of the heroic 92nd Brigade, all the pride, arrogance, fear and other emotions disappeared at this moment.

Only passion will never cool down, only sacrifice will always be there.

One assault tank after another moved left and right, continuously covering the retreat of their comrades.

The rear doors of countless infantry fighting vehicles of the First and Second Battalions of the Red Army opened, and team after team of soldiers holding steel guns jumped off the vehicles.

"Captain, drive the car. Now that we have gotten off the car, the burden will be lighter. Let's go!"

Hundreds of infantrymen holding steel guns rushed to the periphery of the retreating tanks, using their bodies to block the blue army's artillery fire and cover the retreat of their own tanks.

Desperate cover.

At this moment, the Red Army's momentum changed.

The retreating Red Army tanks roared, raising clouds of dust, and their iron-blooded momentum was overflowing.

The infantrymen who stayed behind were just like the warriors in the ancient cavalry era, who stayed even though they knew they could not win.

It’s like the era of naval guns, where even if the naval guns were inferior to those of the enemy, the enemy would still make a desperate attempt to launch a ramming attack.

But the tank shells can be withstood by the armored vehicles, but humans cannot at all.

When the Blue Army was preparing for a new round of artillery fire, they suddenly saw the Red Army soldiers forming a human wall to cover the retreat of their tanks.

Ma Hongjie, the battalion commander of the 179rd Battalion of the th Brigade, frowned as he watched. He was a veteran who was promoted to battalion commander, and he had enough respect for this kind of troops.

However, the Red Army had violated the regulations of the exercise.

The mere appearance of this human wall was enough to determine their defeat and their total elimination.

At this time, the smoke bombs in the air had dissipated.

Chen Jun saw the situation on the battlefield through the drone, and he was slightly moved.

But defeat is defeat. If this is a battlefield, it is just a fearless sacrifice.

The 92nd Brigade had never experienced failure. They were too proud and unwilling to admit such an outcome, so they resorted to this sacrificial tactic to delay time.

No matter how the directorate reviews the operation after it is over, or what kind of punishment the 92nd Brigade receives.

But at the moment, Chen Jun doesn't intend to hold back.

Because this is an exercise, but also a war.

"Third Battalion!!"

"Here, Chief of Staff, are we going to attack?"

Ma Hongjie's trembling voice came. It was obvious that fighting with this once heroic army had given him a lot of feelings.

"What nonsense! Have we eliminated all the enemies?"

"Organize the launch of smoke bombs immediately."

"We must completely annihilate the enemy's main force."

"Yes!!"

Bang bang bang bang bang.
Just moments after Chen Jun gave the order, countless smoke bombs were fired into the retreating Red Army group.

Thick smoke was released instantly, covering the entire area.
