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

Chapter 526 Six hundred square kilometers! This gap is too big.

After the brigade's affairs were explained, the first group to set off was led by Political Commissar Xu Wensheng and Chief of Staff Chen Jun.

He led a part of the logistics officers of the 179th Brigade, as well as staff in reconnaissance, terrain mapping, and fire control to the west.

When the follow-up troops are dispatched, Brigade Feng will personally lead the way.

Due to limited time and the Western Theater Command's General Staff was still waiting for departure, Chen Jun and his team did not dare to delay. After packing their luggage, they headed straight to Jincheng from Pengcheng Guanyin International Airport.

At two o'clock in the morning on March 3, the group arrived at Nakagawa International Airport.

He was taken to the Western Army Headquarters to rest for a night.

On the morning of the 17th, people from the Western Staff and several Russians took a helicopter from Jincheng.

According to the planned route, we headed straight to the Chebarku training base in central Russia.

As time was tight on the journey, Chen Jun basically did not listen to any information about the military exercise introduced by the accompanying Western staff.

It was not until he got on the helicopter and looked at the beautiful scenery of the motherland that Xu Wensheng took a deep breath. He turned his head and looked at Chen Jun: "Old Chen, this is your first time going abroad, right? Are you nervous?"

"Don't be nervous. There's nothing to be nervous about."

Chen Jun looked outside, shook his head slightly and smiled: "We have been preparing for so long, it is time for us to go out and try it out."

Hearing this, Xu Wensheng remained silent.

He knew that this had been prepared for so long and it was not just the 179th Brigade that was referring to it, but the entire field army.

It’s not a bad thing to get out there and really fight with others and get to know each other.

Although the Western Staff did not explain any details about the operation to Chen Jun, they gave him a map of the Chebarku training base before departure.

As well as the preparatory documents of both sides for this peace military exercise.

Chen Jun took a rough look and found that the Chebarku Training Base, like Zhurihe, was a contract training base specifically used to train troops.

However, compared with Zhuri’s combat area of ​​more than 1000 square kilometers, Chebarkunna’s 600 square kilometers is somewhat small.

As shown on the map.

The terrain in the area where the exercise was conducted was not complicated, and was even much better than that of Fuzhou, and most of it was relatively flat.

It can be said to be extremely beneficial for heavy-armored combat.

The military region announced that this peaceful military exercise was an "anti-terrorism exercise", but this was just an external statement.

The information in Chen Jun's hands clearly identified this military exercise as a strategic exercise, which included actual troop confrontations, but they were not the main focus.

The reason why the 179th Brigade was deployed later was because it involved the initial planning of the strategic exercise, which was not something that a single brigade could decide.

According to the document, the initial overall assault of our troops was more than 7,000 kilometers, starting from Pengcheng via three-way mobile transportation: railways, transport aircraft and roads.

Try to mobilize a Heavy Assault and see how long it takes to transport it to the front line.

As for the Russians, the information is not so detailed.

The document did not indicate what the overall assault distance they set was. All we knew was that the initial troop mobilization relied on the Siberian Railway and its affiliated roads to transport the troops to the location of the operation.

During this period, there was no indication as to whether any troops cooperated with the logistics department in conducting joint field exercises.

But this is normal.

Chen Jun guessed that these documents should only be used as reference for people outside the directorate, because they would mark the support distance of the other party's joint logistics exercises and the density of front-line supply points.

It was not difficult for him to guess the breadth of the opponent's tactics in the exercise.

According to some information reported in the documents, it is easy to see that the enemy's motorized infantry and armored forces had to conduct air defense combat drills, tactical deployment and troop withdrawal before and during this operation.

The information provided was really limited, and Chen Jun was scratching his head as he looked at him.

All we know is that they are conducting some drills on the way here. With just this little information, even if we know the Russians' organization, we are simply unable to deduce how they will deploy their tactics during combat.

What's even more fucked up is.

What was mentioned at the beginning was a joint military exercise. As the name suggests, a joint military exercise means joint operations, but Chen Jun didn’t understand exactly how it was combined.

It is not known whether we will use the Russians' logistics supply mechanism during joint military exercises. Currently, the 179th Brigade is not equipped with a dedicated joint logistics force.

It is not clear above whether all resources are shared or each one works on its own.

On the document, there is a long and eloquently written information.

The final summary just said "fighting side by side". Wow, I still didn't understand what this "fighting side by side" meant until the end.

Is it an independent operation or a joint operation?

If it is a joint operation, the Russians will either use fighter jets to conduct on-the-spot air battlefield control or direct and allocate tasks, and only arrange partial firepower confrontation.

There is no explanation as to whether the relevant targets are shared, what mechanism is used, or whether the data link system is used.

Chen Jun felt depressed after reading this, but fortunately he didn't know who wrote the information.

Otherwise, I would have to pin the other person down and beat him up.

What bullshit the statistics are.

Perhaps seeing that Chen Jun was not in high spirits, Political Commissar Xu, who had also finished reading the director's materials, looked up and said with a smile: "You kid."

"It's too impatient."

"Don't worry, you have your battle to fight next, and the director's office will also discuss the follow-up arrangements step by step."

"There is still half a month before the actual war begins, and the higher-ups can't give too many detailed plans, but whether it's a strategic exercise or an anti-terrorism exercise, as long as there is a confrontation phase."

"That's your home ground. The higher-ups deliberately arranged for us to leave early so that we can get familiar with this unfamiliar land in advance."

"Strive to know both yourself and the enemy when fighting, and you will never be defeated!!"

"Yes, Commissar, I understand."

Chen Jun responded quickly, and then he looked outside the helicopter again. When he was at the brigade headquarters, he just kept talking about other soldiers' eagerness to fight.

I’m afraid that I won’t be able to stop when the battle really comes.

In fact, he is the biggest one and the one who is most eager to fight.

It was not until nearly four o'clock in the afternoon on the 17th that six helicopters departing from the Jincheng Army Command finally arrived at the Chebarku training base.

The helicopter landed and stopped, and the hatch opened.

Xu Wensheng, Chen Jun, Li Haiyao and others got off the helicopter one after another.

When arriving in a strange place for the first time, everyone subconsciously looks around.

The place where they were was not an exercise combat zone. Not far from the helipad were rows of dark green barracks, with countless military vehicles of various models parked neatly.

Directly in front of the barracks, eight flags fluttered in the wind.

Looking up and further away, all you can see at the Chebarku training base is flat terrain, with an occasional small forest that seems to have been blackened by artillery fire.

There was still a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.

Fortunately, it is March now, and the air here in Russia is relatively not that cold.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to fight in such a low temperature of minus dozens of degrees Celsius, and heavy-duty troops would have to be deployed in large numbers.

It tests not only the command ability of officers, but also the comprehensive logistical quality of the troops.

Their equipment is not as good as that of soldiers. Even though they are big, if you don't take good care of them, they will really lie down and not move.

The others got off the helicopter and were studying the terrain and weather, but Chen Jun, out of inertia, had already compared the terrain here with the map he had seen on the way in his mind.

Consider how to arrange the most comprehensive attack after all the brigade’s equipment arrives.

In such a place, it is no exaggeration to say that 99A and 04A are like a latent dragon returning to the sea and a tiger returning to the forest.

In addition, the 179th Brigade now has two helicopter squadrons. During the series of military exercises last year, the 3rd Combined Brigade was lightly equipped and mobile, and could appear at the rear of the battlefield at any time. The 179th Brigade now also has the same ability.

30 Z-10 armed aircraft carrying 30 Lynx all-terrain assault vehicles can appear behind enemy lines at will. Their firepower is much stronger than that of light infantry.

Heavy machine guns, individual rocket launchers, and mortars can penetrate directly into the enemy's heart.

Chen Jun had a gloomy look in his eyes, and was thinking about how to deal with Damao. At this time, Li Haiyao took out a thick coat from his backpack and put it on his back.

Then he smiled softly and said, "What are you thinking about so intently?"

"Let's go, someone is here to pick us up."

"Ah."

Chen Jun came to his senses. He looked up and saw several officers walking towards the direction of the large camp.

The leader looked to be in his forties, with a very sturdy build, two bars and four stars on his shoulders, and a kind smile on his face.

When the other party led his people to the front, before Chen Jun and his friends stood at attention and saluted, the other party took the lead in waving his hands and laughed: "Haha, we are all family, no need to be so polite."

"Come on, come on, Chief of Staff Li is already waiting over at the tent."

"Yaoyao, you haven't come to see your uncle for a long time."

The colonel in charge of the reception first greeted everyone and then looked at Li Haiyao. It seemed that the two were quite familiar with each other.

"Hello Uncle Ma, this is Chen Jun."

Li Haiyao replied with a smile, and then took the initiative to introduce Chen Jun next to her.

The colonel, who was called Uncle Ma, looked Chen Jun up and down, then nodded and patted Chen Jun on the shoulder: "Good boy, I have heard a lot about you in the West."

"You must prepare well this time and strive to make a splash on the battlefield. I look forward to your performance."

"Yes, Chief!!"

Chen Jun stood at attention, saluted, and responded with a serious expression.

If there weren't a few Russians accompanying him from Jincheng, Chen Jun was sure that the colonel in front of him would not speak in such a literary way.

What's the point of making a big splash? It's just to fuck him.

Someone came to lead the way, and Xu Wensheng and others picked up their backpacks and followed the crowd towards the barracks.

Chen Jun also quickly put away the coat he was wearing. He had taken it off when he greeted Uncle Ma just now.

After all, it's okay to wear it when there are no outsiders around, but it's not appropriate in this occasion.

Li Haiyao helped put the clothes back into the backpack, and then whispered to Chen Jun: "The uncle Ma just now is our uncle's assistant, named Ma Jianbang."

"I used to work in the archives of the Western Army Political Department. Uncle Ma often went to the Political Department to retrieve documents, so I was quite familiar with him."

Listening to Li Haiyao's introduction, Chen Jun felt deeply moved.

He had just thought that Uncle Ma was a brigade commander in the west, but after a while he found out that he was the assistant to the chief of staff.

Don't get me wrong, Chen Jun doesn't mean to look down on others.

Mainly as the niece's husband, it was my first time to come to my uncle's workplace. He was the chief of staff, and he was also the chief of staff.

But the gap is too big.

Look at the assistant beside him, Li Wujie, who is carrying a backpack and looking around.

Chen Jun couldn't help but quicken his pace
. . . . . . . .

The barracks in Chebarku were probably not built just for this joint military exercise, as they look quite old.

After all, this is someone else's place.

All the soldiers patrolling around the barracks and on duty were replaced by sturdy, white-faced, blue-eyed Russians.

When the officers coming from Jincheng entered the barracks area, they lined up consciously and marched in unison.

Under the national flag fluttering in the wind.

What the field army wants to show is not only the style of soldiers, but also the style of a country.

Even though it was a joint military exercise, which was conducted in a friendly manner, the provocation in the eyes of the soldiers of both sides was obvious when they looked at each other privately.

There is no other solution to this provocation except to completely defeat them and scare them on the battlefield.

The group entered the camp and, led by Ma Jianbang, came to the largest dark-colored board house in the middle.

As soon as I lifted the door curtain, I saw several military officers inside, standing in front of a large screen. On the screen was an electronic map covering 600 square kilometers.

But apart from some spots of light and some signs representing the road and the woods, nothing else could be seen. It was obvious that the construction of the base station of the directorate had not been completed.

Li Hongtao was also there, in front of the electronic map at the innermost side of the board room.

He is the director of this joint military exercise.

"Hello, Chief!!"

When Xu Wensheng and the people from the 179th Brigade saw Li Hongtao, they quickly put down their backpacks and saluted in unison! !
"Well, thank you for your hard work, comrades."

Li Hongtao glanced at the people present and nodded: "Wait, Lao Ma, you can arrange for the comrades from 179 to rest."

"I don't think I need to repeat myself. I asked you to come here early so that you can get familiar with this battlefield. If you have any questions, you can come here to communicate at any time."

"But remember one thing, this is not our place. Be careful with your words and actions. You don't have to swallow your anger, but you can't deliberately cause trouble either."

"Do you understand everything?"

"Yes, Chief!!"

"Okay, let's go."

Li Hongtao seemed to have no intention of saying more. He simply gave a few instructions and waved his hand to send people away.

Ma Jianbang was responsible for taking them to the various barracks.

In a place like this, there is no need to pay attention to accommodation conditions. Chen Jun and Xu Wensheng were the team leaders and were arranged in a barracks.

Li Haiyao and the female medical soldier who accompanied her shared a dormitory.

Fortunately, although the barracks at the training base are not garrison camps built with reinforced concrete, the living facilities are still acceptable.

There are water pipes in the board house, and heating is provided at night. The equipment looks new, so I guess the heating was installed not long ago.

By the time we had settled the accommodation issue, it was almost dark.

Chen Jun could only restrain himself from going out to check out the terrain, after all, he was unfamiliar with the place.

There was no car available, and the military camp management was stricter at night, so we had to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He simply moved a stool into the barracks, lit a cigarette, and listened to the howling cold wind outside.

Quietly plan the next survey and how to proceed.

Because maps alone cannot support the needs of a war.

But it’s 600 square kilometers, which is larger than half of the land area of ​​Xiangshan.

It was simply unrealistic for him to just drive around and draw pictures with a few staff members.

This is not a project that can be completed in a short period of time.

The reason why Damao allowed this was that their participating troops arrived in advance.

That means that everyone must be very familiar with this combat zone, including the troops that are about to join the battle.

In this case, I must not take any disadvantages from the terrain.
