Chapter 229: We have firepower coverage, what other tactics are needed?
Continuous gunshots were heard in the camp, at marked points 3 and 8.
All the soldiers in the Blue Army, battalions, companies, and garrisons had red eyes from anger.
They picked up their guns, led their military dogs, and searched the camp for Red Army snipers.
From officers to soldiers, no one was not angry.
Who would snipe at a field toilet during a war?
To put it bluntly, the Red Army is despicable, has no morals, no sense of honor, and doesn't even understand military etiquette.
To put it nicely, the Red Army committed a foul and lost the A-class division.
They are not worthy of being soldiers of a Type A division.
The entire camp was filled with murderous intent.
"Find him for me, even if I have to dig eight feet deep, I'll dig him out and tie him up next to the toilet. This is outrageous!"
The company commander who was shot by the sniper had a dark face. It had been several minutes since his urge to urinate was interrupted, and there was no movement at all.
How can I not be annoyed if I can’t even renew my contract?
Even if it means violating the exercise regulations and not being able to issue orders after the damage, he still has to yell a few times to vent his anger.
"There, over there, let the dog out!!!"
On the outskirts of the camp, a lieutenant just spotted a figure passing by, raised his hand and pointed into the distance, without waiting for the searching soldiers behind him to catch up.
Bang!
Another familiar 85 sniper rifle sounded. The lieutenant who was in command just now turned his head in shock and looked at the white smoke coming out of the "Ku Ku" behind him.
He jumped in frustration and pointed in another direction: "Eleven o'clock, hurry up, kill those Red Army sons of bitches for me."
"Hold!!"
Outside the camp, the sniper team arranged by Chen Mo was running for their lives.
I didn't dare to look back at all. Fortunately, the climate in Qinglong Gorge was abnormal, with strong winds and yellow sand all over the sky. As long as I left the camp, I could easily escape the tracking of the military dogs.
If we go to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, even the most powerful sniper will not be able to escape when faced with such a riot among the entire battalion.
They didn't want to ambush in the toilet, but the Blue Army was not stupid. They had both visible and hidden sentries, plus military dogs patrolling, so they couldn't get close at all.
Only dry toilets, which are dug a few hundred meters downwind, are most sparsely patrolled and easiest to attack.
If not here, where to go?
The captured soldiers would immediately drop their guns, admit defeat, and squat on the ground with their heads in their hands, so that they would be beaten less severely.
Those who were not caught would run away as fast as they could, make a big circle, and then quietly return to continue looking for trouble and opportunities.
no way.
Before setting out on this mission, the reconnaissance company and the division reconnaissance battalion were mentally prepared.
When they arrived, they were brought here by helicopter. The Blue Army's base was dozens of kilometers away from their own base, and they could not go back on foot in such an environment.
When Chen Mo arranged the task, he explained that there was no time limit, and that either all of them were destroyed in battle, or they had to wait until the end of the exercise.
It's not that he is cruel, but this group of people simply cannot go back. If they insist on going back, the journey back is dozens of kilometers long. If something happens, no one can take the responsibility.
If I don't come back and get caught by the enemy, at least I'll still have water to drink and food to eat, so no big problems will arise.
So, the assassination continues.
A mechanized infantry battalion of the Blue Army was stationed at marker point 8, and the entire camp was in turmoil for nearly forty minutes.
Battalion Commander Lan Gongshecai drove to the Sixth Company, which was the headquarters of the Night Tiger Company.
Just got out of the car.
Captain Lan's face was filled with anger. It was so shameful. When had the 182nd Iron Hammer Regiment ever suffered such a huge loss?
He had just come from the second company. The company commander of the machine gun company was shot while going to the toilet. He was so angry that his liver hurt.
I almost burst into a curse at the Second Company’s base, but I held it back. I had no choice but to do it because during war, the grassroots officers are the soul of the entire company.
He has just lost his mind. If he continues to scold, the morale of the army will be broken.
But when he arrived at the Sixth Company, the famous Night Tiger Company, Captain Lan could no longer tolerate it.
"Are you still breathing hard?"
"Tell Captain Miao to come here!"
At the Sixth Company’s base, the exhausted soldiers around watched the battalion commander get out of the car and then slammed the hood, seemingly on the verge of going berserk.
The frightened soldier ran away and quickly went to find his company commander.
After a while.
The chubby Captain Miao clenched his fists and raised them to his ribs, then ran over quickly.
He stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, Battalion Commander!!"
"I'm not good, Lao Miao, you're still alive?" Lan Gongshe glanced at the other person and said, "I see you've been busy for a long time. Tell me, what's going on?"
"Blue Camp, according to the unspoken rules of the exercise, generally speaking, neither side will attack the toilet during combat. The Red Army violated the rules this time."
Miao Lian complained indignantly.
Lan Gongshe raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his expression instantly became serious: "Unspoken rules?"
"Oh! You've found a good excuse for yourself."
Captain Lan raised his hand and slapped it against the hood again, demanding, "Bullshit, unspoken rules! Let me ask you, is this exercise a show?"
"ah?"
"I'd like to ask Captain Miao, what do you think of the exercise?"
"Playing house?"
"An entire military region engaged in a high-intensity confrontation, with over two million people watching, tens of billions spent, hundreds of military and civilian units working tirelessly, and tens of thousands of engineers working tirelessly for eight months, all for the sole purpose of testing mechanized transformation. Your so-called unspoken rules are rubbish and childish!"
"Remember this, this is real combat. Even if the enemy is lying in ambush near the toilet, even if I have to ambush you in the shit pit, you must proudly hold your chest high."
"yes!"
Company Miao roared in grief and anger, his voice echoing throughout the camp.
"How many casualties were suffered in the battle? How many Red Army soldiers were captured?"
Lan Gongshe's tone slowed down a bit.
"Reporting, the third platoon leader was killed in action, five members of the company were killed in action, and a total of eleven enemy snipers were captured."
"Well, notify everyone. Company Six will not rest tonight. All personnel will be dispatched to patrol the area. At all costs, we must find the sniper who has infiltrated the defense zone."
"If another assassination occurs, you will come to me with your head on your shoulders."
"yes!!"
Miao Lian puffed out his chest.
He turned around and shouted, "Platoon leader!"
"arrive!"
"Blow the whistle for an emergency assembly!"
"yes!"
The platoon leader responded loudly, but just as he turned around, another gunshot was heard at the nine o'clock position.
The sensors on the platoon leader's body were "hissing" wildly and emitting white smoke.
More than a hundred meters away, Wang Jianyong, whose body was covered with smelly yellow sand, quickly threw away his 85 sniper rifle and sat down on the ground.
Let the soldiers of the Sixth Company rush over.
He had only one regret: the damn battalion commander and company commander were blocked from view by the car, and he didn't dare move because there were military dogs nearby.
When the company commander moved just now, the soldiers around him, intentionally or unintentionally, blocked sniping opportunities in all directions.
I could only kill a platoon leader, which was satisfying.
Lao Wang felt the wind and sand blowing on his cheeks, without even looking at the ferocious group of people from the Sixth Company.
He raised his head and sighed deeply: "Scholar, I didn't embarrass you. It wasn't in vain that you called me squad leader for so long, haha!!"
Blue Army Division Headquarters.
Commander Wang Songhe sat in the tent with a calm expression.
The war situation officer next to him stood in front of the map with his hands on his hips, his face still worried. The outskirts of the Seventh War Zone, the northwest line where the 182nd Regiment was located, and the eastern line where the armored regiment was located were frequently harassed.
The two places were nearly 60 kilometers apart in a straight line. He really couldn't understand why the Red Army was bothering with these two places.
If there is a large-scale mobile force movement, their scouts will be deployed and will definitely be able to detect it.
But now the various units of the Red Army have just arrived in the war zone and are all recuperating. Sending troops to the eastern and northwestern fronts is just for fun?
No way.
Lin Yifeng, the wartime staff officer, turned to look at Wang Songhe and said, "Commander, I really don't understand the Red Army's intentions."
"What do you think they're going through all this trouble for?"
"Just to behead a few grassroots cadres?"
"Old Li shouldn't be that bored." Wang Songhe held a cigarette between his fingers, leaning back in his chair, blowing smoke rings from his mouth, and said leisurely: "There's not only the 139th Red Army Division in the Seventh War Zone, but also a little devil watching over there."
"The higher-ups have designated War Zone 7 as an experimental area to test new systems. The entire information camp is located there."
"This must be a trick that the kid named Chen came up with. A bathroom attack. Only he could come up with such a trick."
"It's just a battalion. How big a storm can he cause?"
Lin Yifeng sneered. He knew that the division commander had gone to the Kyoto Military Region to command the 188th Division in combat, but that was not an exercise, just a simple experiment.
After the war broke out, the division headquarters did not make any deployments to the front-line troops, and the battle was entirely dependent on grassroots command.
As the combat staff officer of the Northern Type A Division, it is normal for Staff Officer Lin to look down on a battalion, let alone a battalion, sometimes it depends on strategic needs.
It's not uncommon for them to abandon a regiment before a war. They simply look down on the so-called informationized battalion.
No matter how ferocious a tiger is, it is nothing to be afraid of when it is young.
When Wang Songhe heard what Staff Officer Lin said, he smiled and said nothing.
He didn't mean to look down on the Information Battalion, he was just very curious about the commotion that kid named Chen Mo was causing in the two garrisons on the eastern and northwest fronts.
There can't be no reason.
There must be a back-up plan.
According to Wang Songhe's understanding, the other party would not do such a thing that is all talk and no action for no reason.
To be entrusted with such an important task by the director-general and to lead the information battalion, it is impossible that he only has this little ability.
So, he waited and saw what the Blue Army Camp's backup plan was.
Ding-ling-ling!!
Just as the atmosphere in the division headquarters operations room was becoming somewhat tense, a rapid ringing sounded.
Lin Yifeng, the combat staff officer, quickly walked over to the phone, grabbed the receiver, and put it to his ear: "This is the division headquarters. Please speak!"
"What?!!"
"Two garrisons on the eastern front have lost contact? What are you doing?"
"You're only reporting now what happened half an hour ago? Organize rescue efforts immediately. Find out what happened there, at all costs."
"Hello?"
"Hello!! This is the division command post. Please speak with me."
"What? Two camps on the northwest front have also lost contact? What are you doing?"
"I'll tell you."
While Lin Yifeng was cursing while answering the continuous calls, the division commander Wang Songhe quickly walked to the phone and hung up the call with a "click".
Commander Wang knew that the backup plan he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
"Don't rush to mobilize troops yet. Tell us what's going on."
Wang Songhe said with a serious face.
The eastern and northwestern fronts are our own fuel and logistics areas, where armored regiments, artillery regiments and some infantry regiments are stationed, with a total force of thousands of people.
More than half of the division's heavy equipment was gathered there.
Not to mention an informationized battalion, even if the Red Army divisions pressed forward on all fronts, they would not be able to defeat so many of their units in one night.
So, don’t rush into the present.
"Commander."
Lin Yifeng swallowed, walked quickly to the map, picked up the baton, and pointed at the garrison areas along four major traffic arteries.
"Here, here, and here, half an hour ago, we suddenly lost contact with the regiment headquarters."
"Half an hour ago, the regiment headquarters arranged for someone to contact the site, but there has been no response."
"Both the Armored Regiment and the Artillery Regiment are requesting the mobilization of their mobile forces, stationed dozens of kilometers away, to the scene of the incident to provide support."
"No news at all?"
Wang Songhe frowned. The Blue Army Division had built a linear battlefield of hundreds of kilometers on the outskirts of the Seventh War Zone. The original purpose was to strategically penetrate the Red Army Division.
This arrangement has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that once the war breaks out, the Red Army division will be unable to take care of both ends and can only avoid areas with heavy firepower and maneuver towards the southern line.
The disadvantages are also obvious.
The battle line is so long that once the supply area is hit, it will be difficult to mobilize troops at close range to complete emergency rescue.
At the beginning, there was nothing wrong with this tactical arrangement. After all, during the war game simulation, there was only one 139th Division in the Seventh War Zone. The enemy was so large that if they moved a little, the Blue Army Division would receive the information.
The other party will not be allowed to take large-scale actions.
But now, there is an information camp.
An accident happened.
"Could this be the brat's back-up plan?"
Wang Songhe stared at the map and vaguely guessed Chen Mo's purpose.
Tonight, some camps on the eastern and northwest fronts were attacked, but other camps were safe and sound.
Now, there were sudden reports that other camps had lost contact, and even the communications personnel arranged by the regiment headquarters had disappeared.
This makes people suspect that it was the information camp that took action.
Moreover, the enemy's purpose was not to attack the camps that had lost contact, because with the organization of the information battalion, they did not dare to fight such a tough battle.
At least for now, there is no need to arrange such a battle that will not be worth the cost.
Then the opponent's goal is only one, to attack the support troops.
Because any mobile troops, even if they are at the battalion level, will suffer heavy losses if they encounter this kind of enhanced informationized battalion.
"What a vicious kid."
Wang Songhe stared at the map and spoke fiercely through gritted teeth, "Order! Monitor the movements of the Red Army divisions across the entire line. Report any unusual movements immediately."
"Order! On the eastern and northwest fronts, all bases closest to the missing unit, provide full support. Support units, activate Level 1 combat readiness. If you encounter an enemy attack along the way, eliminate them at all costs."
"yes!"
In the division headquarters operations room, combat staff, firepower staff, communications staff, logistics staff and other personnel immediately began to work.
For a moment, the sounds of communications, radios, and typewriters mixed together in the entire operations room.
The division headquarters was brightly lit and people were bustling about.
The Blue Army Advisor is destined to have a restless night tonight.
Wang Songhe guessed the strategic purpose of the Information Battalion, and also knew that Chen Mo made all these moves just to attack the supporting troops.
Do you know what it is useful for?
This is an open conspiracy. They clearly know that they are going to attack the rescue team. Are they going to just leave the unit that has lost contact alone?
That's the oil sector and the baggage area. If the enemy really touches the baggage warehouse, we will just attack them randomly.
The Red Army division behind was waiting for an opportunity to move, and the entire battle situation became completely passive.
Wang Songhe mobilized troops for rescue in order to determine the location of the informationized battalion.
He knew very well how evil the kid named Chen was, and he was not sure where he was hiding.
Wang Songhe couldn't even sleep.
At this moment, the informationized battalion that Commander Wang was worried about did take action.
Early morning of August 10th.
The entire Blue Army Battalion started moving, and Chen Mo sat in the command vehicle, personally directing the maneuver.
A series of instructions were continuously issued to each team.
"Use the engineer minesweeping unit as a guide to clear the way."
"The helicopter delivered the armed reconnaissance team to the front of the route, ensuring the safety of the route within 20 kilometers and conducting integrated air-ground reconnaissance."
"Draw four armored vehicles and one infantry platoon from each wing to provide mobile escort."
"Turn on all radars and begin operations against all targets within a 100-kilometer radius."
"The entire battalion is implementing the second set of communication codes. Every hour, the tactical communication code will be dynamically changed."
"Tactical air defense missile unit, enter level one combat readiness."
"Rocket team, disengage, rear wing follow, distance 15 kilometers."
“.”
"Requirements: During the maneuver, according to the plan, Army Aviation Squadron Leader Dong Kehao will be the leader of the air defense team, and Operations Officer Liu Hong will be the leader of the ground blocking team."
"All officers and soldiers at all levels of the battalion must strictly follow wartime standards!!"
The order has been issued.
The ancient Qinglong Gorge.
Rumble!
There was a roar of propellers.
The armed helicopter sent the remaining scouts of the reconnaissance company to conduct mobile reconnaissance 20 kilometers ahead of the mobile route.
Then, with another part of the division's reconnaissance battalion, they continued their armed patrols in the sky.
The armed scout sat at the cabin door, holding a heavy machine gun, his eyes staring at the ground like a peregrine falcon.
This night.
Not only did Chen Mo arrange for scouts to go out on missions, but the Blue Army Division also arranged for a division reconnaissance battalion operation.
They maneuvered on such a large scale.
You're bound to run into some unlucky Blue Army scouts along the way.
Therefore, the armed scouts on the front line will report the situation from time to time.
"Reporting, there is a suspicious tactical target in the strategic area at nine o'clock in the north. Requesting long-range machine gun fire."
"Request approval!"
"receive!"
The next second, the heavy machine gun roared, da da da.
Flames spurted out of the muzzle and bullets poured down like raindrops. Some of the bullets were shot because it was too dark and the wind and sand were too strong, so the night vision goggles and telescopes could not see everything.
All that was shot at were a few stray elks or black storks.
Or maybe it's just a dark hill.
But some were reconnaissance battalions of the Blue Army Division. The scouts drove past nearby and heard the "buzzing" sound of helicopters, but it was too late.
He didn't even have a chance to react before being killed on the spot by the heavy machine gun.
After the Blue Army Battalion moved forty kilometers, Chen Mo ordered the entire battalion to switch from a preparatory maneuver posture to a mobile state.
The formation changed again.
The on-site directorate, following the major staff of the information battalion, also began to evaluate the entire battalion's mobile operations.
The implementation will be sent back to the director's office.
After the entire battalion switched to mobile status, more than a dozen vehicle-mounted drones were launched and began patrol reconnaissance within a radius of 60 kilometers.
After advancing another twenty kilometers, the Blue Army Battalion began to switch from a mobile formation to an assault formation.
The purpose of the planned maneuver is mainly to familiarize each unit with this long-distance maneuver and to adapt to the weather and visibility.
The maneuvering state means moving forward normally.
The assault formation is a combat state. The entire battalion is centered around the squad. Based on the terrain and battlefield conditions, every five tanks form a triangular attack wave with a horizontal line of 800 to 1,200 meters.
The entire battalion has 27 squads, but there are not that many main combat squads, only about 9.
These nine main combat teams are composed of nine attack waves, assisting the battalion's armored, firepower, mechanized infantry, helicopter, logistics, medical, engineering and other combat units. They charge under the command of the battalion commander, with the battalion command vehicle as the brain.
To put it simply, this is the most common tank cluster dynamic chain in the mechanized corps.
The formation of the dynamic chain is to push forward smoothly and achieve a quick victory.
Since we are attacking support forces, the information battalion's reconnaissance capabilities will inevitably detect the enemy's traces first.
In this situation, Chen Mo no longer bothered to use any electromagnetic suppression. He was just maneuvering, and it was difficult for the opponent to be on guard.
We bombard at long range, assault at close range, and fight in the wild. As long as we don’t run into the Blue Army Advisor’s lair, we won’t be afraid of anyone.
If there are few people, they fight; if there are many people, they run away. Who can do anything?
Chen Mo sat in the command vehicle, his eyes fixed on the row of rugged laptop screens on the command desk.
During the night march, he had stretched the ranks as far apart as possible, increasing the distance between them.
Fortunately, each company is an experienced unit, otherwise there would be problems during the march of dozens of kilometers.
They were getting closer and closer to the edge of the Seventh War Zone and were already near the Blue Army Division’s base.
Radar and drones did not detect anything.
Chen Mo was a little confused.
It's supposed to be impossible.
He made such a big fuss just to get the Blue Army's people stationed in a 100-kilometer linear area to move, relocate, and beat them on the way.
This tactical arrangement is not brilliant, but once implemented, it is basically unstoppable. Knowing that his goal is to attack the supporting forces, Advisor Lan would not let him wander around here aimlessly.
Why is there no one here?
Can you at least confirm my location?
Chen Mo frowned slightly, his fingers tapping the control panel rhythmically, but his eyes were fixed on the screen like a scanner.
Even with a senior non-commissioned officer watching, he still felt uneasy.
In this agony, we continued to move for about ten kilometers.
The vehicle-mounted radar located in the middle of the team had a green screen. When it was sweeping around the end of the screen, it suddenly emitted a sharp "beep" alarm sound.
Dense white spots of light appeared.
"Alarm! Alarm!"
When the soldier with the flare discovered something was wrong, he immediately grabbed the communicator and called the command center.
"The Blue Army's mobile force has been spotted in the southwest."
"Maneuvering speed 40km/h, expected to arrive at our flank in thirty minutes."
“Here I come!”
Chen Mo's eyes lit up.
"Orders, radar team provide coordinates, aerial reconnaissance immediately mobilize drones for real-time reconnaissance southwest."
"Howitzer team, tactical missile team, prepare for battle!!"
"Other teams, follow air defense standards and deploy a 500-meter horizontal evacuation."
"receive!"
The leaders of each team responded quickly, and it was not difficult to tell from the sound that all the cadres in the battalion were not calm at this time.
"Report to the battalion commander, the tactical missile group is ready, requesting a test launch!!"
The commander of the rocket artillery company, which was following behind the Blue Army Battalion, fifteen kilometers away, was the first to report the movement.
"Test firing? Test it out! There's no tactical plan. Just fire with covering fire."
"Howitzer team, tactical missile team, adjust your positions. No need to report. Fire all the firepower you have in one round."
Chen Mo gave orders decisively.
The entire Blue Army Camp communication radio was silent for a few seconds.
Accompanied by two "Received"!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The night sky was illuminated in an instant, and more than a dozen howitzer vehicles and nine rocket launchers opened fire in unison.
Fire dragons soared into the sky.
In the distance, the Blue Army Division tank battalion, plus two mechanized infantry companies, were maneuvering at high speed in the southwest direction to the rescue.
Even the enemy's hair can be seen.
It was covered by artillery fire.
The ground was shaking, and the dust from the exploding shells, mixed with yellow sand, rolled up waves several meters high.
Countless soldiers crawled out of the tanks with confused faces, turned to look at the damaged tanks, and then looked at a group of smoking comrades.
They looked at each other in silence, wanting to cry but having no tears!
Oh shit, where is the enemy?
How could the shells fall when no one saw them?
