Chapter 529 Miracle, Only One Color

Time passes day by day.

By the morning of April 4, the joint military exercise directorate issued the preset requirements for the exercise.

The request document stated that in order to test the actual combat capabilities of the large-scale mechanized armies of both sides, the exercise operations will focus on the river area in the middle of Chebarku.

Air defense combat can only be carried out under limited conditions.

Arrived with preset conditions.

The troops stationed at the military airport, fuel depot, urban buildings and other areas of the Chebarku training base gathered in the areas where combat was needed.

Domestically, several Y-20s took off carrying war supplies to Chebarku.

There are also several large airports in Russia, and dozens of Il-76 large transport planes roar into the sky.

Begin final preparations before war.

The confrontation in the strategic military exercise was a higher level of mobilization. Chen Jun had no way of participating in it. He could only wait for the arrival of the main forces of the two armies.

now.

Inside the temporary wooden operations room of the 179th Brigade.

After Chen Jun received the notice of the combat area from the director's office, he immediately called together the members of the staff, the political commissar, and the logistics department.

After hanging the map that had just been drawn a few days ago on the conference board, Chen Jun looked at several cadres with a slightly serious expression.

"Comrades, I believe you all know the news from the Directorate. We will engage in a live-fire confrontation with the enemy's 169th Brigade in the A17 area."

As Chen Jun spoke, he turned on the infrared spotlight in his hand and circled an area.

"The A17 area covers 160 square kilometers, spanning both riverbanks. There are four bridges, and the baggage and fuel depots are all enclosed within it."

"It can be seen from this that the actual combat required by the directors of both sides is a relatively fair but extremely intense battle."

All the cadres present nodded to Chen Jun's analysis, and no one expressed any different opinions.

Because it's obvious.

The two armies were trapped in such a small area, and with the area occupied by rivers, warehouses, and bridges, the space left for both sides to fight was already very narrow.

When we say 160 square kilometers, many people may not have an intuitive concept. If we convert it, it is a large square of 16 kilometers by 16 kilometers.

It sounds big, but in heavy-armored combat, a cluster of soldiers can easily stretch out a battle line of more than ten kilometers. Under normal circumstances, this distance is already very crowded when provided for combat with more than 10,000 people.

The most terrifying thing in a war is the exposure of tactical intentions, especially when the two sides are evenly matched. If the tactical intentions are exposed, it means that the troops are deployed without defense under the enemy's nose.

This is very scary.

Because the enemy can adjust its firepower at any time according to your deployment.

What Chen Jun said was an intense battle, and it was absolutely true. This tiny place had both warehouses and towns, and the terrain was high and low.

Both sides know it well.

What kind of strategic deployment is this? If there is any disturbance, the commanders on both sides, as long as they are not stupid, can immediately detect the other side's intention to mobilize firepower.

It is indeed relatively fair.

After all, putting aside the commander's ability, the troops' combat strength, and the differences in equipment.

In terms of timing, location and people, the two sides are almost the same and there is not much difference.

No one said a word during the entire meeting; everyone felt the pressure.

The joint military exercise is not divided into large areas, probably because the authorities take into account that there are too many people involved in this confrontation.

The eyes of all armies were focused here.

The larger the area is divided, the more combat weaknesses or strengths of both sides will be exposed, so it is necessary to arrange intense combat and infinitely shorten the initial preparation time.

This can ensure that no more secrets are leaked.

Seeing no one spoke.

Chen Jun turned off the infrared light in his hand, then cleared his throat and said, "Okay, our 179th Brigade has arrived at the Russian border and is expected to arrive here in the second half of the night."

"And the enemy's 169th Brigade was probably at this time. After the strategic military exercise, it was the military parade scene where the troops of both sides gathered."

"The outcome of the military parade has little to do with us, but the subsequent seizure of the A17 area has a lot to do with us."

When the cadres on the scene heard what Chen Jun said, all of their hair stood on end and trembled. The atmosphere in the entire command center became a little suffocating.

Or it could be said that my blood was boiling.

Because everyone felt that what Chen Jun said was right. Although the director's office did not notify that the battle would start after the troops of both sides arrived tonight, it depended on the arrangements in the combat zone.

Transport planes continued to deliver war supplies.

It is not difficult to guess that the higher-ups will most likely not give us a chance to rest and reorganize.

Even if no firing is done, troops must be mobilized to the combat zone to see who can seize the advantageous terrain first.

You know, the A17 area is not a bare empty place. There are bridges, fuel depots, baggage warehouses, and towns there.

If any unit arrives late, all the key choke points will be blocked and subsequent attacks will be very difficult.

Noticing this, all the cadres present sat up straight unconsciously, and even the political commissar Xu Wensheng beside him had a serious expression.

Chen Jun waved his hand: "Okay, these are my speculations. Next, comrades, calculate the firepower deployment of various battlefields as soon as possible based on the A17 area and how to arrange it."

"Don't worry about the enemy's deployment, just calculate according to our highest firepower deployment and prepare for the worst."

"Also, in recent years, many people have believed that the Russians' conventional military strength has declined, and other than their weapons of mass destruction, their other aspects are not worth mentioning."

"We cannot have this kind of thinking. We must always remember that they were the real masters of armored torrents and steel collectivism."

"In terms of armored commanders, their numbers are no less than Hans's. They were once a superpower, with influence covering half of the planet."

"In this battle, I don't want to say that we can only win and not lose, because that's just empty talk. What I want is for my comrades to go all out."

"Tomorrow, troops from all sides will arrive, and we must be ready to kill the enemy."

"Comrades, are you ready?"

“Always be prepared!! Always be prepared!!!”

In the temporary meeting room, bursts of loud shouting attracted the attention of many Russians on duty outside.

But no one cares anymore.

The exercise area has been divided, and now it is time for the 179th Brigade Staff Group to take action.

People in the military camp often like to say that stupid advisers are bad at doing things and everything is a mess.

In fact, apart from some staff officers who had just graduated and had insufficient knowledge of combat.

When it comes to staff members at regimental or brigade level, their strength is already very strong.

On the battlefield, the tactical arrangements for fraud and anti-fraud cannot be separated from the staff, including firepower deployment, combat deployment, and how to fight the battle. It is not all the credit of the commander alone.

In many classic cases, the staff group calculated the problems with the enemy's battlefield strength based on the enemy's organization, discovered hidden dangers in a timely manner, and then took advantage of the enemy's tactics.

This is probably what we usually mean by the philosophy of military strategy.

After briefly conveying the directorate's arrangements, Chen Jun took Li Wujie with him and the two went to the A17 combat zone together.

Familiarize yourself with the terrain and make final battle arrangements.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

At six o'clock in the morning on April 4, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the Chebarku contract training base. Unlike the heat during the day, this deserted place was still freezing cold in the early morning even in April.

But the large military field was not as lonely as before.

All the surrounding street lights, searchlights and spotlights were turned on.

Bright as day.

On the parade ground reviewing stand, Li Hongtao sat in the command position together with the commander-in-chief of the Russian Central Military Region.

Chen Jun, Xu Wensheng, and Li Hongtao's assistant Ma Jianbang and others stood behind the leaders and looked towards the outside of the parade ground.

On the left, the rumbling sound of chariots almost drowned out the whistling of the wind. One after another, chariots with bright red national flags were flying, raising billowing smoke.

The convoy stretched for several kilometers and sped forward.

Those were the figures of 179 soldiers of the 6287th Brigade rushing to Chebarku.

The chariot team has not arrived yet, but the oncoming sense of oppression has already hit us in the face. The roar of the chariots and the sound of the red flags fluttering in the wind seem to converge together.

Chen Jun stood on the training platform, his eyes cast in the direction of the 179th Brigade, watching countless car lights in the distance penetrate the morning mist and roar towards them.

If I said I wasn't excited, I'd be lying.

In a remote place like Chebarku, where we can only live in wooden huts, a strange place, a strange country, and continuous preparations for war, we are busy day and night. Aren't we just waiting for this moment?

At the scene, the officers who shared the same stance as Chen Jun all stared with their eyes fixed and clenched their fists.

Those who have not experienced the hardships involved will never understand what it is like for a great country to struggle to be reborn from the dilapidated and devastated ruins.

In everyone's heart, miracles only have one color, and that is the red fluttering in the wind.

at last.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Dragon Kingdom's troops appeared.

The tanks of the 179th Brigade, one after another, with an invincible momentum, stopped steadily in a large open space outside the parade ground.

Thirty helicopters rumbled down.

There was no sound of any instructions at the scene. The neatly parked tanks were all shut down and their hatches opened.

Team after team of soldiers wearing steel helmets, holding steel guns, wearing green military uniforms and with red star flags embroidered on their chests began to line up.

Because the school military field was quite far from where the troops were stationed, the people on the stage could only see long dragons converging, quickly and orderly forming a giant dragon formation.

Among the more than 6,000 officers and soldiers, not a single one fell behind, and not a single one was slow in movement.

It took less than twenty minutes from arrival to completion of the queue.

But just for these twenty minutes, the 179th Brigade trained for a full month.

The wind was blowing coldly. After the troops were ready, one of the figures faced the lights and the gazes of the many spectators present, and followed the standard formation posture.

They ran in unison to the school soldiers' platform.

Stand at attention and salute: "Report to the commander, the Eastern Theater Command's 179st Army Heavy Armored Combined 6287th Brigade has been assembled. All members of the brigade have arrived. Duty officer Feng Qiuhu, please give instructions!!"

"wait!!"

"Yes!!"

After receiving Li Hongtao's order, Feng Qiuhu saluted again, turned around, clenched his fist and ran to the side of the school soldier's platform to stand.

The soldiers participating in the battle in the distance were rooted to the ground like spears, and were not affected by the strong wind at all.

The fighting spirit was surging, which made some Russian officers present look at each other in bewilderment, because in the eyes of some of them, this opponent would be a bit tricky.

But it definitely shouldn’t be too powerful.

Even judging from the data on paper, there are millions of active military personnel, and they have a wide variety of advanced weapons.

But they have an unavoidable weakness.

That is, they have not participated in actual combat for decades. No matter where such troops are placed or how they display their swords, they should not be very sharp.

But what they saw was very different from what they had imagined.

Those who can watch the battle on the spot are undoubtedly the ones who lead the troops. They can judge the overall combat effectiveness of the troops just by looking at some formations.

Obviously, the opponent this time was somewhat beyond their expectations.

The most important thing is.

The first strategic competition in the joint military exercise is about the ability to transport troops from the rear to the front line.

The other party has to cross the border, which is a long journey, and there is no support from railway transportation at all.

Just like this, they arrived earlier than the troops I was fighting with?
Some officers on the training ground were talking in low voices, but Li Hongtao was smiling, as if he didn't notice what others were saying.

Sitting upright on the stage, he stared at the soldiers of the 179th Brigade with a look of pride.

However, Anton Alwed, the commander-in-chief of the Central Military Region, who was sitting next to Li Hongtao, did not look very good.

There was even a hint of bitterness in that smile.

In the military exercise between the two sides, only one side arrived first, which made the Russian representative present look extremely unhappy.

Fortunately, the Russian army was not too late.

About half an hour later, there was finally movement on the right side of the school's military field.

The sound of human voices and the roar of the T90m mechanical motor are deafening.

The 169th Brigade's mobile formation also stretched out for several kilometers and marched to the school's military field.

Compared to the commotion caused by the arrival of the 179th Brigade just now, their momentum was much louder.

There were several officers who should have been in the lead, shouting and forming a line in the strong wind. It must be said that the 169th Brigade, once a young guards division, is now the backbone of the Central Military Region.

The combat awareness in all aspects is still very good.

Although the entire brigade arrived late, the time it took to assemble was shorter than that of the 179th Brigade, only a dozen minutes.

The entire brigade has lined up according to the officers' command.

The cold wind is still blowing!!
The so-called military parade was just to review the morale of both sides after the 169th Brigade arrived.

The Russian representative, Anton Alved, gave a speech and spoke a lot.

Chen Jun stood at the back. He was not interested in the speeches. He simply said that some joint military exercises provided an important platform for mutual trust and cooperation among countries.

We must work together, develop together, and face new threats and challenges together in the future.

Just empty talk like promoting the maintenance of regional peace and stability.

After Anton finished his introduction, Li Hongtao, Ma Jianbang and others also came on stage one after another.

Finally, the Russian military band played military music, and delegations from various countries arranged people to participate in the majestic parade.

The entire 179th Brigade was mobilized, demonstrating the style of a great power.

The opening ceremony was lively and spectacular, but Chen Jun was not interested in any of it.

He was waiting, waiting for the real battle to begin after the ceremony.

Because he has basically nothing to do with the previous processes, he only has the opportunity to play in the later stages.
