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

Chapter 499: The wolves are showing off their power. What the hell is going on?

Different from the previous operations of the 179th and 92nd Brigades.

The Red Army that came across the region this time was well prepared and started the second battle of the Sword Sharpening 2017 with the most brutal attitude.

The Red Army's heavy tanks attacked, and the land group charged in a cluster. In the first batch alone, dozens of 99A tanks were sent, accompanied by quad-rotor drones in the air to explore the way.

Avoid terrain that is unfavorable for navigation in advance.

Advancing at high speed on the undulating battlefield, the roaring engine made the earth tremble.

The long smoothbore gun barrel shook up and down as the tank bumped, while the turret always pointed at a horizontal angle for balance.

This purely mechanical trunnion design compensates for the changes in shooting balance caused by the thrust of the shells during the moving assault process.

Buzz buzz.
Not long after the Red Army group was dispatched, dozens of helicopters appeared in the air and hovered again. Needless to say, the observers and referees from the directorate were in place.

Damn it, there’s nothing I can do.

Area 26 has been designated as a key combat zone by the directorate. The surrounding combat zones are all conducting small-scale exploratory attacks. Two units with more than people have opened up multiple battlefields.

Who the hell is like District 26, which would easily deploy tens of thousands of people to a large battlefield, with the entire combat scale spanning several square kilometers.

How can the director department not be nervous?

Chen Jun did not follow the troops in this battle, but withdrew to the place where District 25 had been resting before and set up a combat command post.

After all, the entire Blue Army combat group was deployed in the form of a company, and as the commander of the combat group, he had no way to go with the army because the scattered company firepower would not be able to protect the command center.

Therefore, Chen Jun simply moved to Area 25 and let the 2nd Combined Brigade, which was also a Blue Army, protect him, because it would be useless even if the Red Army could detect the location of the headquarters.

There is also fire protection from the Blue Army Brigade.

On the terminal screen in the command room.

Chen Jun looked at the battlefield images sent back by the high-altitude drones. On the distant horizon, a dense cluster of tanks stretching across three kilometers were maneuvering at high speed.

"236th Brigade."

Chen Jun's eyes were cold and he murmured softly.

During the joint training, he had witnessed the power of this army, and defeating the enemy had almost become Chen Jun's obsession.

6 kilometers! !
4 kilometers! !
3 kilometers! !
The Red Army's assault group was getting closer and closer, while the Blue Army's tanks were also roaring.

The two huge groups of beasts were getting closer and closer.

Chen Jun clenched his hands. There was no perfect tactic in the world, and he had no idea whether the wolf pack strategy would be effective.

All we can do now is wait.

The Blue Army soldiers on standby on the battlefield were so nervous that their hearts were in their throats. Even Fatty He couldn't rest in the tank with peace of mind.

Feel the rumbling of the ground.

This kind of physiological panic cannot be controlled by just having a lot of experience.

After all, it was an endless array of armored vehicles.

Many Blue Army soldiers clenched their artillery in their hands, cold sweat oozing from their palms, and stared fixedly at the front.

The steel beast seemed to have bared its fangs.

2 km
1.5 km
When the Red Army's vanguard rushed to 1.4 kilometers, the armored corps of both sides had almost begun to face each other. If it were not for the rugged terrain of Fuzhou, there would be no need to drive to such a close distance.

If it were the terrain in Pengcheng, they could engage in fire within three kilometers.

"beat!!"

Almost at the same time, the same order was transmitted through the command channels of the Red Army and the Blue Army.

Boom boom boom! !

Boom boom boom! ! !
The front row of main battle tanks of the Red and Blue Army opened fire in unison. The deafening sound was heard for miles. The 99A smoothbore cannons fired like a tsunami. Flames burst from the muzzles and visible white smoke spread throughout the air.

dong dong dong! !

The howitzers in the rear row of tanks and the main battle tanks' gun-launched missiles all fired at the same time.

In an instant, the surrounding air was torn apart by the high-speed rotating shells, making a series of sharp "whoosh" sounds.

The whistling shells hit the armored lines of both sides like meteorites.

time.

The earth was burning with flames, and the entire front line was completely engulfed in artillery fire.

There would be no winner in this frontal cluster attack. The Blue Army relied on the low-lying terrain to build a terrain blocking line, and four or five of its heavy firepower points were destroyed in an instant.

The soldiers of the first battalion who were guarding the blocking line didn't even have time to react before the sensors on their bodies began to emit white smoke with a "hissing" sound.

The same was true for the Red Army. Seven or eight tanks in the front row were destroyed and remained stationary.

The tanks in the back row quickly filled the positions, either by circling, retreating, or passing through, filling the firepower gap of the charge and continuing the assault.

In just a blink of an eye, soldiers from the Red and Blue armies collapsed on the ground with white smoke coming out of their bodies, indicating that this battle had nothing to do with them anymore.

In a large-scale operation, the number of participating units can reach thousands or even tens of thousands. In such a place, ordinary soldiers dream of performing well, making meritorious contributions, receiving awards, and being promoted.

The difficulty is no higher than buying a scratch ticket at a lottery station and having a chance of winning 20.

But what is even more distressing is that it is the most disadvantageous to be eliminated at this time, because this is only the first wave of artillery fire, and it is only to exercise the maximum range of smoothbore bullets and to conduct artillery tests.

When both sides reach 800 meters, that is when the real war begins.

Soon, the leading firepower of the red and blue armored clusters reached a range of 1000 meters.

The grassroots commanders on both sides began to have faster heartbeats, and the Red Army was guessing whether the opponent could withstand their attack.

The Blue Army was wondering when the troops behind them would withdraw.

After all, the enemy's troops are not far away.

The Red Army's Chief of Staff Ji Tong could already observe the Blue Army's cluster through the tank's periscope. He didn't care what evil ideas that bastard Chen Jun had.

The first round of firepower test was over, and he immediately grabbed the radio and ordered: "Assault cluster, enter the scattering phase."

"receive!!"

The commander of the armored assault group in front heard the order on the radio and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie beside him and ordered: "Tank 1, Tank 2, all crews switch to scattering."

"Tank 1, target 963 meters, 12 o'clock direction, enemy main battle tank, reload and fire!!"

"Tank 2, target 913 meters, 14 o'clock direction, enemy howitzer, reload one round, fire!!"

"3 tanks, target 891 meters, enemy. Bomb. Cao, minefield?!!"

Boom boom boom.
When the Red Army attacked to within 900 meters of the Blue Army, several tanks in the front row suddenly started smoking, and the maneuvering speed of the assault spearhead's tanks decreased.

And at this time.

Chen Jun, standing at the Blue Army headquarters, watched the Red Army's vanguard's attack being frustrated. He grinned and ordered the staff officer next to him: "Order, the entire brigade disperses and retreats."

"Yes!!"

That’s right, the minefield that the Red Army encountered during its maneuver was exactly what Chen Jun planned for a dispersed retreat.

You know, if the armored cluster is spread out too far horizontally and retreats too early, the wolf pack tactics will expose their motives in advance and lose their meaning.

The Red Army can arrange firepower tracking in batches.

What Chen Jun wanted was for the two sides to exchange test fire, so that the Red Army would lower its vigilance and fall into the minefield, and then retreat.

In this way, even if the enemy wants to chase, it will not be so easy, coupled with the minefield blocking the way. Even if the cluster dynamic chain ignores this kind of casualties, there must be enemies ahead.

Not even a hair was left.

There is no point in pursuing the enemy despite the damage to the tank. It is not easy for a heavy tank to close the distance of eight or nine hundred meters.

Seeing the Blue Army, which had just been fighting to the death, suddenly began to retreat like a tide.

And they retreated in an orderly manner.

Looking around, the huge blue army moved in a cluster, just like a family that had a quarrel and no one knew each other, and they withdrew from the battlefield in an arrogant and orderly manner. Except for the south facing them, no blue army came straight towards them. In the remaining three directions of east, west and north, dozens of retreating teams were scattered.

The earth was still shaking, and the sky seemed to be suppressed by the roar of the chariot.

The huge cluster of chariots that had originally blended into the grass became even larger in the blink of an eye.

The vehicle body is bumpy due to the undulating terrain, which increases the friction between the high-manganese steel tracks and the ground, coupled with the roar of the engine.

The whole world.

It was as if it had turned into an ocean driven by a torrent of steel, but it was such an awesome scene.

The Blues did not even prepare for the fight, but instead fled in an orderly manner like locusts.

The Red Army officer who had just been commanding the scattered troops came out of the tank with a confused look on his face, a walkie-talkie in his hand.

Because he had been blown up by an anti-tank mine, he was not afraid of being shot from behind.

Looking at the enemy troops who were originally eight or nine hundred meters away.

Now, except for the eliminated tanks and soldiers, the fleeing Blue Army, the closest to them, had run one kilometer away.

"Damn it, are we just going to retreat like this?!"

The Red Army commander's brain was almost unable to react for a moment, the thought of having just achieved great success and bravely killed the enemy was still lingering in his mind.

Just a blink of an eye and the enemy is gone?

How could the two commanders in the rear of the Red Army, Brigade Commander Guo and Chief of Staff Ji, not know about such a big change on the battlefield?

But these two people also looked confused.

Damn it, if you don’t intend to fight, why do you act like you’re going to fight to the death?

Not to mention the two of them, even the observers from the director's department who had come in large numbers were stunned. They sat in the helicopter and looked at the Blue Army fleeing madly in silence.

Hesitating whether to follow.

But even if he wanted to follow, who should he follow?

The Blue Army cluster was scattered like a rabbit's nest.

For a moment, no one on the battlefield spoke except for the roar of the tank engines.

After two or three minutes, he made sure that the Blues were not cheating and were indeed retreating.

Ji Tong stretched out his hand and loosened his collar. He stretched his neck and asked, "Commander, what does the Blue Army mean by this?"

"You put up such a big battle, but you retreat just to scare us?"

"If only it were that simple."

Guo Xiangnan, commander of the Red Army brigade, came out from the back door of the command vehicle and looked at the retreating formation of the Blue Army.

Then he shook his head slightly and sighed: "I underestimated Chen Jun."

"This guy is really a tactical genius. He actually used this method to break the cluster assault chain."

"His thinking is indeed different from that of ordinary people. I guessed that Chen Jun had a way to deal with us. I was even wondering what method he would use just now."

"But I just didn't expect it to be like this."

"Commander, is this difficult?"

Ji Tong had a bad feeling and asked.

"Well, it's very tricky."

Guo Xiangnan did not hide anything. He pointed at the Blue Army's retreating formation and said, "See? Their retreat seems chaotic and disorganized."

"But that's not the case at all. Each retreating team has tanks, long-range and short-range firepower, and logistics. These are dozens of complete combat groups."

"If I'm not mistaken, Chen Jun wants to use the combined company method to disperse the harassment and continuously consume our assault chain from all directions."

"They have been here for a few days in the 26th area. They are most familiar with the terrain. With so many companies trying to hide, we have no way of finding them accurately."

"and."

At this point, Guo Xiangnan sighed again, frowned and said: "And Chen Jun will not give us a chance to find him at all. The second wave of attack will arrive soon."

"Go, pass the order, and ask all battalions to immediately repair on the spot and conduct a detailed inspection of the tanks. From now on, we are officially in a passive position."

"What the hell."

Ji Tong angrily swung his fists twice, and then smashed them on the chariot beside him with a "bang".

After waiting for a while, he rubbed his hands again, and tears almost came out of his eyes because of the pain.

Tired of ah.

It's really fucking frustrating.

The 236th Brigade crossed dozens of kilometers and rushed over from District 31 overnight. Their morale was high along the way and they vowed to wipe out the Blue Army in District 26 in one fell swoop.

Come with great power.

The result was a punch against cotton, whether it had a negative impact on morale is not the point at hand.

If there were no enemies, even if the tanks had been maneuvering all night without breaking down, I'm afraid that after this repair, a considerable number of them would go on strike.

But what can we do?
Ji Tong had no choice but to order the troops to repair on the spot, move the tanks to the two wings, and move the logistics vehicles to the middle position for protection.

They had no choice until the tank was completely overhauled to ensure that there would be no problems.

What was supposed to be a fierce fight ended so suddenly, which made many observers in the director's department depressed.

They landed the helicopter and then ran away in groups of three or five to smoke and chat.

. . . . . . . .

Until about one in the afternoon.

The entire battlefield fell into complete calm, and even the Red Army began to take time out to make lunch.

Inside the base, the air defense radar suddenly emitted a shrill alarm.

"Enemy attack!!"

"dispersion!!!"

The old non-commissioned officer of the Red Army who was in charge of the radar suddenly had his pupils dilated and roared with his eyes wide open.

The Red Army had been traveling all night, and many soldiers were drowsy because it was too quiet.

If we were bombarded at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, all the soldiers of the 236th Brigade had excellent military qualities. They responded to the alarm and reminder sounds in an instant and dispersed quickly.

They had just arrived at Area 26 and had no time to dig anti-aircraft positions, so they had to spread out as much as possible.

Boom boom boom.
The moment the air defense alarm sounded, the Red Army's Wild Dog command system was activated, controlling the ballistic radar to lock onto the position of the Blue Army's artillery vehicle while controlling the air defense system at the same time.

The anti-aircraft firepower in the tank cluster raised its launch tubes and began intercepting.

But in this long-range confrontation with heavy firepower, the ones who are injured are still the ground personnel and tanks.

The air defense interception was not 100% effective, and many rockets still fell into the tank cluster.

Boom boom boom.
The battlefield is shaking and the smoke of gunpowder is filling the air again.

Rumble.
On the distant horizon, the long-lost Blue Army reappeared.

This time the Blue Army was no longer in a cluster, but attacked from all directions. At the head of each team there was a platoon leader or a senior non-commissioned officer who led the assault team and waved red and yellow flags.

Kill the Red Army!!

The momentum was so fierce that there was no trace of the panicked escape just now.
