Chapter 498: The Red Army Arrives Across Regions, and the King of Lu Qun Meets Again

The Red Army of District 31 moved out in force and attacked at night.

Looking around, nearly a hundred Type 99A main battle tanks formed a long dragon, with steel tracks and a 1500-horsepower hydraulic transmission system making this behemoth roar loudly.

Countless red lights were flashing, filling the area for several kilometers. Even the air was filled with the strong smell of burning diesel from the steel monster.

"No. 03, back up to the left!!"

"04 Quick follow up!!"

"No. 05, half turn, give up the parking space!!"

The 236th Brigade's command of the armored group was different from that of the 179th Brigade, which was half-baked.

When their large troops were moving, their subordinate tank platoon leaders could use flag signals to coordinate the heavy-duty mobilization of the troops.

Let the mechanized monsters slowly return to their positions one by one.

Brigade Commander Guo Xiangnan sat in the command vehicle in the middle of the cluster chain. His face was grim as he stared at the images sent back from the air, watching the assault group basically take shape.

Lao Guo leaned over the command vehicle's communication console and said in a trembling voice: "Comrades, please tell me."

"It has been ten months since the 236th Brigade was reorganized and refitted. This is the first night mechanized assault, and our opponent this time is the 179th Brigade, which we trained with at the same time."

"How is the combat effectiveness of that unit?"

"I don't think I need to repeat myself. Their overall strength is average, but the most difficult one to deal with is their commander - Chief of Staff Chen Jun."

"We have suffered at the hands of the Blues in the past, so we cannot be careless in this battle and must not fall into the same pit twice."

"I order that for this large-scale assault, the engineers should make every effort to prepare for classified special situations, conduct 60-kilometer covert maneuvers, and adopt multi-stage logistics and fuel support."

"Combined Battalion 1, during the maneuver time, remember to calculate the fuel replenishment and ensure the coordination between the assault group and logistics to avoid failure again."

"In the morning battle with the Blue Army of Area 31, the Combined Battalion was acting as an assault battalion. The maneuver time, the miscalculation of the fuel replenishment method within the unit, and the delayed exchange of combat situations resulted in the loss of the efficient coordination of the three battalions."

"The right wing of the infantry in the middle of the assault chain lost its basic protection for 12 minutes."

"The commander of the Blue Army in District 31 did not notice this mistake, but if it was District 26's Blue Army, they would definitely take the opportunity to penetrate my assault formation and cut off my formation from the middle."

"Captain of the First Battalion, if you make this kind of mistake again, you will be court-martialed."

"But now is not the time to review and introspect."

"Combined into one battalion, the commander is incompetent and slack in combat. I'm giving you a warning. I'll remember this for you."

"Next, all battalions, especially the howitzer company, must make full preparations for battle, maneuver, arrange positions, prepare artillery fire, and be sure to coordinate with the left and right wings."

"Pay attention to the artillery's extended tactical orders and precise tactical punctuation. In this engagement, we must not give the Blue Army any chance to resist."

"Comrades, do you understand?"

In the communication channel, the voice of the brigade commander was clearly transmitted to the ears of every soldier of the 236th Brigade.

Pre-war accountability.

Not only did it not lower the morale of the soldiers of the entire brigade, but on the contrary, they had a momentum of determination to fight the enemy to the death.

The 236th Brigade is different from the 92nd Brigade.

The latter's command was firmly controlled by Liu Xiang, the former division chief of staff, after he was transferred to the brigade.

As for the former, the brigade commander and the chief of staff have been partners for many years.

During the pre-war motorized mobilization, both the brigade commander and the chief of staff had high prestige in the troops.

We are facing the Blues across regions, and they are old rivals, so morale is naturally not a problem.

The entire team rushed towards Area 26 with murderous intent.

The order said it was a covert maneuver, but how could this thing be covert?

Such a huge group of tanks, spanning several combat zones, came with great force, unless the scouts on the 179th Brigade's side were all blind.

Of course, it is impossible to be blind.

Therefore, as soon as the 236th Brigade took action, the secret sentry observing at the front line reported the news to Chen Jun.

Learned that the Red Army had already set out.

As soon as the Blue Army arranged the assault group's formation, the battalion commanders hurried to the command center.

"Brigade Commander, Chief of Staff."

Fatty He stepped into the command room and spoke with a worried look on his face.

At this time, Chen Jun was sitting and chatting with the brigade commander Feng Qiuhu, political commissar Xu Wensheng, and political department director Yang Chuanzhou.

Seeing everyone coming over, Chen Jun smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, I know the Red Army has already set out."

"You don't have to repeat yourself."

"Old Xiao, tell me about the Red Army's deployment."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jianfeng, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, quickly walked to the Fuzhou topographic map, cleared his throat, pointed at the map and said with some pride: "The Red Army really fell for it this time. They used a large-scale assault group to move towards us from south to north two hours ago."

"Based on their mobility, the enemy will enter Area 26 at a.m. tomorrow."

"But one of the main battalions of the Red Army did not follow the group. Instead, it was divided into the left and right wings. One team escorted a large amount of baggage and stayed behind, while the other team was lightly equipped and ran ahead of the group."

"I don't understand the other party's intentions for now."

"And the Red Army in our 26th District is also moving. The logistics and supplies are delayed. More than 92 people from our guard company have successfully entered the logistics camp of the nd Brigade and stayed to help guard the supplies."

"Next, it depends on whether the Red Army will be fooled again."

"Haha."

After listening to Lao Xiao's report, Chen Junchang stood up with a laugh, then walked to the map and looked at it for a while.

Then he said, "Don't misunderstand one thing. We will deploy an armored assault formation to fight and force the enemy to cross the area in the same formation."

"It's not that the Red Army was fooled."

"If I'm guessing correctly, the commander of the 236th Brigade must have guessed that we deliberately lured them here."

"That's right." Brigade Commander Feng Qiuhu nodded beside him: "The 236th Brigade was formerly the 12th Brigade of the 36th Army. Their brigade commander Guo Xiangnan was a well-known commander in the original th Army."

"The theater has arranged for us to face them this time. We must not underestimate the enemy."

"Brigade Commander Guo is not only good at armored assault operations, but also good at controlling the battle situation and interweaving operations."

"Once our wolf pack tactics are launched, we must hold them back as quickly as possible. Otherwise, with Lao Guo's alertness, he is likely to find a way to deal with the wolf pack tactics in a very short time."

As the brigade commander, Feng Qiuhu rarely took charge of the battle arrangements during this operation, and always left it to Chen Jun to command.

But the brigade commander is the brigade commander after all, he is experienced and much better at judging people than the young man Chen Jun.

Carefully weighed Feng Lu's concerns.

Chen Jun continued, "Yes, I dare not say how many units are the most difficult to deal with in this series of military exercises, the Sword 2017."

"But there is one thing. Our District 26 and District 31 have finished their first battles one after another. Based on the speed, Brigade Commander Guo's troops will not be so easy to deal with."

"We had some tricks in attacking the 92nd Brigade, and because the 92nd Brigade was in a hurry to fight, the main force was defeated too quickly."

"But from what I know about the battle in Area 31, the Red and Blue armies were fully prepared, fighting with soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals, and the 236th Brigade was able to win so quickly, which speaks volumes."

"All camps!!"

"arrive!!!"

Seeing that the combat mission was about to be assigned, the battalion commanders who rushed over all responded in unison, and then sat at the conference table with their heads held high and waited.

Chen Jun did not delay any longer. He asked the staff officer beside him to adjust the terminal screen to the picture of the 179th Brigade preparing for battle.

Then he walked to the conference table and said in a shocking voice: "The Red Army is fighting across regions this time. It is not convenient for us to use long-range firepower attacks during the maneuver."

"Avoid bombing the Red Army in other districts and affecting their combat deployment."

"We are gathered in such a large group, and the Red Army did not use long-range fire to consume us first. I think the commander of the Red Army must have their own arrangements."

"Order! After the enemy officially enters Zone 26, the entire brigade will be notified and immediately split into small groups. Company-level units will form wolf pack tactical teams. Tank crews will be dispersed to each company with a spacing of 60 meters. The formation will be dispersed along the designated route."

"Order! Armored infantry fighting vehicle group, join the tank mobile team in a two-in-one formation."

"Request, infantry company, two troop carriers, one in the middle and one at the rear."

"."

"Company-level firepower teams do not need to consider logistics and fuel for mobility, nor do they need to consider special air strikes. I believe all units will be familiar with this."

"According to the planned plan, each squadron must have armored units, artillery units, infantry units, logistics units, and maintenance units. The equipment and personnel will work together to form a complete mobile combat company."

"I don't need to repeat how the units evacuated in an orderly manner, how they camouflaged their core equipment, how they built an air defense network to fight back, or how they carried out field repairs after being bombed."

"I have only one request, that each firepower unit must be as fierce as a wolf. Hyenas use fish-scale tactics to fight lions, but the Red Army is not a lion, and we are not hyenas."

"The enemy will not give us the opportunity to tear off the fish scales. Every attack must ensure that it bites hard on the enemy's aorta."

"Even if my teeth are broken, I will drag out the enemy's intestines and kill them."

"Comrades, are you ready for battle?"

"Always ready! Always ready!! Always ready!!!"

The roars, one louder than the other, showed the determination of all the soldiers of the Blue Army.

However, don’t think it’s easy as Chen Jun said at the conference.

In actual combat, is it easier for one command center to manage nine battalions or dozens of companies?
The result is beyond doubt.

. . . . . . . . . .

October 10rd, 3: am.

After waiting all night, the Red Army assault group officially entered Zone 26.

Before the Red Army was even seen, the shaking of the ground and the smell of diesel, the armored soldiers' favorite, had already filled the entire battlefield.

Boom! !

Boom! !

The earth was shaking, and looking down from the air, it was even more spectacular.

On the rugged surface of Fuzhou, steel monsters advanced in clusters. The tanks of each main battalion were less than 500 meters apart. The armored monsters weighing tens of tons left a series of ruts on the surface.

The mud rolled up by the tracks, mixed with green grass mud, relied on its great weight to press out puddles in the open coastal areas where the aquatic plants were still relatively abundant.

The deafening sound of the 1000-horsepower engine and the creaking of the steel tracks mixed together to form an extremely violent sound wave.

Can be heard clearly from kilometers away!!
The armored group had been advancing for more than ten hours and had just entered Area 26.

Suddenly stopped moving forward.

In an instant, countless logistics maintenance personnel and tanks swarmed forward from the rear, replacing the engine oil and filling the water tanks for the tanks in the front, and quickly performing preventive pre-war maintenance.

Especially for the tanks in the cluster, the logistics soldiers responsible for maintenance carry out simple cleaning, wiping, inspection, adjustment, tightening, troubleshooting, etc. on each component.

This includes adding oil and grease, checking ammunition, tools, spare parts and accessories, and quickly charging each tank battery.

During the preparation period, almost no one in the huge tank cluster chatted or talked.

The Red Army's rocket launcher crew was dispersed in the rear, quickly positioning the vehicle body horizontally. Four metal hydraulic columns extended from the vehicle bridge to support the ground and stabilize the level of the artillery vehicle.

At the same time, the multi-barreled main turrets above all tank compartments were raised.

Adjust all firing parameters and temporarily set the firing angle to 67 degrees.

The air defense radar was turned to maximum, and the drones circled around the entire tank group and took off.

All the Red Army soldiers almost held their breath and stared at the radar.

It is not difficult to imagine that once the Blues launch an attack at this time, it is inevitable that both sides will first engage in a wave of long-range artillery bombardment.

But the strange thing is.

They have such a big presence and have entered Area 26.

According to intelligence, the main force of the Red Army is less than 12 kilometers away from the main force of the Blue Army. In theory, this distance has met the conditions for both sides to go to war.

But the reality is different from what they thought.

The Blue Army's armored cluster was crawling on the ground, like a sleeping prehistoric beast, with its eyes closed, without any movement.

Fatty He was also sitting in a tank, huddled up, half-squinting his eyes as he felt the faint vibrations coming from afar, and had no intention of opening fire at all.

As for why, don't ask.

The Chief of Staff’s order.

The wolf pack tactics are that only when the wolves encounter a lion will they scatter and wait for an opportunity to bite.
This fucking lion is still squatting more than ten kilometers away, drinking oil to restore his strength.

What a rush.

As for the long-range artillery bombardment.

Stop joking. The combined forces brigades all have air defense weapons. This is no longer the era of mechanized single arms.

What's more, the army has never been afraid of so-called long-range artillery and air strikes. Only the army in TV dramas is afraid of them.

But there was no movement from the Blues.

Instead, Ji Tong, the Red Army commander who had traveled all night and rushed over determined to fight to the death, was a little confused.

He looked at the soldiers hurrying past outside the chariots and continued to perform pre-battle maintenance on all the chariots.

Ji Tong frowned, then turned to look at Guo Xiangnan beside him: "Brigade Commander, what on earth is that little dog Chen Jun planning?"

"We have already entered Zone 26. The Blue Army cannot be unaware of this. It is not the style of that bastard to sit still."

"Something is definitely wrong."

Guo Xiangnan nodded, but what if it was wrong?

They have already charged in, there is no way they can just waste time like this. After a night of maneuvering, many of the tanks' problems will be fixed for the time being.

But once they stop completely and wait for all the tanks to cool down, who knows how many of them will break down?

"Notify them. In fifteen minutes, shrink the formation, with the heavy tanks in the lead. No matter what the Blue Army intends, show them to me."

"Yes!!"

Fifteen minutes later.

The Red Army troops, after a brief rest, set out again.

During the maneuver, the formation was contracted and the spears thrust forward.

Heavy tanks are rushing forward.

First attack the Blue Army.
