Chapter 230: Military Advisor Lan’s Revenge, Can We Be Any More Shameless?
The first battle was a victory.
In the Blue Army Battalion Mobile Team headed by Chen Mo, many soldiers listened to the aerial reconnaissance team leader Dong Kehao announce the results of the raid.
Each warrior let out a suppressed roar from his throat.
Some people with shallow eye sockets had red eyes and their hands were shaking with excitement.
As a temporarily formed battalion, many cadres have no idea about the combat effectiveness of the information battalion, let alone the soldiers.
The moment Captain Chen announced the bombing, the entire communication station was silent for several seconds.
No one expected that the harvest this time would be so great.
Winning so easily.
The news sent back by the drone showed that at least one tank battalion and a mechanized infantry company of the Blue Army had suffered heavy losses, and no one was unhappy.
This victory is so morale-boosting.
If we were to say who is the calmest, or most regretful, person in the entire camp at this moment, it would be Chen Mo.
Inside the battalion command vehicle.
Deputy Battalion Commander Gao Jin and Political Instructor Liu Heli both looked at Chen Mo with concern.
They all knew that Type A divisions were not easy to mess with.
Not only is their organization large and their firepower strong, but the authority that a division commander can mobilize is far beyond the reach of a few battalion-level cadres.
The raid went smoothly, but once our coordinates were exposed, real danger would come.
Chen Mo sat in the command vehicle. He quickly collected his emotions and waved his hand, saying, "Notify Captain Cheng and Captain Wang, who are hiding in positions one, four, five, and six, to leave the Blue Army base as soon as possible."
"Disruption operation canceled."
"Evacuate as quickly as possible."
"The entire battalion stopped advancing, turned southeast, and deployed horizontally in accordance with air defense operation standards."
"All radars activated, operating on high-altitude targets within 200 kilometers."
"Reduced maneuvering speed to slow down the heating of the tank."
"Follow the order!!"
After Chen Mo gave the order, he returned to his usual calmness, but he felt empty inside.
The reason is not complicated.
In this operation, the reconnaissance company, the division reconnaissance battalion and the flare battalions were almost mobilized in full force, and the number of troops transported to several marked points of the Blue Army alone reached several hundred.
Among them, Captain Zhou who led the team at marker point No. 3, and Wang Jianyong who led the team at marker point No. 8, are likely to have difficulty returning.
Because they were carrying out a sniper mission, they were too close to the enemy's base and were escorted by helicopters, so there was little possibility of returning.
The other marked points were fine, they just cut the telephone lines, set up communication jammers, buried mines and anti-tank devices on the periphery to cut off the connection between the camp and the outside world.
As long as they don't make too much noise in the middle of the night, it will be difficult for the Blue Army camp garrison to notice anything is wrong.
After paying such a huge price, they only managed to kill one tank battalion and one mechanized infantry company of the Blue Army, or maybe two, because the drone only transmitted images and the assessment was not accurate.
But this is also a loss.
Chen Mo had originally planned to destroy several battalions of the Blue Army.
Now, we have to change direction to protect ourselves.
Because, the revenge of the Blue Army Advisor will come soon.
After the information battalion successfully launched a sneak attack, it began to move, and the dog tried to escape stealthily.
As for the Blue Army tank battalion and the mixed mechanized infantry company that were attacked by surprise, countless soldiers got off their tanks in confusion and turned their heads to look around.
Where are the enemies?!
There were only comrades who were equally confused and cadres whose faces turned blue with anger around them.
All that was left was the howling wind.
The tank was damaged in battle, and the laser simulation system forced the tank's braking system to lock.
After one round of bombing, more than half of the battalion's combat capabilities were completely paralyzed.
A feeling of sadness and loss began to spread widely at the scene.
During the exercise, not a single shot was fired, not even a hair of the enemy was seen, and the entire battalion was eliminated in large numbers.
This not only means that they have lost the war, but also means that many people will have to change their careers by the end of the year.
Those who want to stay in the team cannot do so due to quota constraints, and those who are actively making progress and are eligible for promotion will be delayed again.
One round of bombing wiped out the entire battalion's efforts for the entire year.
"Damn it! These bastards beat up the Red Army."
A lieutenant colonel battalion commander was so angry that he squatted on the ground, his lips trembling. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a big puff.
He raised his head and cursed loudly: "Everyone, is there anyone who can breathe? Come over here."
"Hey! Here it comes!!"
Hearing the battalion commander's call, a company commander under the tank battalion raised his hand to adjust his hat and ran over.
"Hello, Battalion Commander!"
"You idiot! Which eye of yours can you see me with?" The battalion commander glared and cursed, then waved his hand: "From now on, you are the battalion commander."
"Go report to the regimental headquarters and tell them that the 1st Tank Battalion was attacked by the Red Army during a rescue operation. I was killed due to the overwhelming firepower."
"Go and ask the regiment headquarters for instructions on the next steps."
"Battalion Commander, I..." The company commander scratched his head, feeling a little scared. He had just come out to provide support and hadn't gone far when he was bombed.
He was also afraid that he could not withstand the wrath of the regiment headquarters. At this time, whoever called would be in trouble, so he had to make an appointment with the regiment headquarters.
"What do you mean? Follow orders! Can't you see I'm smoking?"
"How can a dead person call?!"
The battalion commander stood up cursing, walked to a truck, sat in front of the wheel and didn't move.
Damn it, he didn’t even dare to report such a shameful battle to the regiment headquarters.
I can only get rid of the burden.
There was nothing he could do. It was because a higher-ranking official could crush someone else. The company commander reported the news of the attack on the 1st Tank Battalion to the regiment headquarters in detail with a sad face.
But what is surprising is.
The regimental headquarters was surprisingly easy to talk to. They didn't even wait for them to finish their report. They just hurriedly asked about their specific location and asked them to reorganize other undamaged units and continue to provide support.
Not a single harsh word.
The company commander in charge of reporting was stunned for a long time holding the car phone before he began to organize the soldiers and tanks that were not injured in the battle.
Prepare to continue the rescue.
Division headquarters.
The news of the attack on the 1st Tank Battalion soon arrived. Division Commander Wang Songhe, who was standing at the door of the command room with a worried look on his face, learned that there was news from the Information Battalion.
The whole person instantly became energetic.
We are not afraid that the other party will not take action, but we are afraid that this so-called information camp will be quiet and silent. We just need to know where they are.
Wang Songhe quickly walked to the map and asked, "Where was the army attacked?"
"Commander, here."
Combat Staff Officer Lin Yifeng held a baton and pointed to the area where the 1st Tank Battalion was located.
"What's strange is that according to the armored regiment's report, our units didn't see any trace of the Red Army at all. The entire battalion was attacked so suddenly that they had no chance to react."
"snort!"
Wang Songhe sneered, "This is the system's suppression. The Kyoto Xiangjian radar vehicle cost tens of millions, but this information battalion has two, and there are dozens of drones."
"By the time you find them, they'll be damned."
"This guy surnamed Chen has two monkeys under his arms, two monkeys standing on his shoulders, and another monkey stuck in his butt crack. He's smarter than a monkey."
"We can't give this kid a chance. Notice that all our units in this area must evacuate. Let Lao Liu's Sixth Division go around and destroy him."
"System, I want to see how he organizes it."
"Old Liu?"
When War Staff Officer Lin Yifeng heard about Lao Liu's Sixth Division, he immediately said awkwardly, "Commander, the deployment of the Sixth Air Division requires the approval of the Directorate, right?"
"The fighting in other war zones hasn't started yet."
"Then apply to the directorate. The battlefield is the battlefield. If we abandon the means on the battlefield just for the sake of experiment, what kind of experiment would it be?"
"Why don't I just give up and report to their information camp? Wouldn't that be easier?"
"If we don't destroy them this time, when the Red Army Division reacts, we'll be the ones caught off guard."
“Go!!”
"yes!"
Lin Yifeng straightened his chest, walked quickly to the phone, contacted the directorate, and requested that the Air Force 6th Division bomber formation participate in this operation.
Ten minutes later, the directorate approved Strategist Lan's application.
Just as Wang Songhe said, information technology experiments are not conducted on flowers in a greenhouse.
The system also needs to go through the baptism of fire.
Since the Information Battalion was able to cause such a big commotion, it should be aware of the situation and prepare for the retaliation of the Blue Army Division.
Chen Mo was indeed very aware, and he had never underestimated the retaliation of a division-level unit.
I also have a good understanding of myself.
Chen Mo knew very well that the Blue Army Division's revenge would not be too slow, because the main force under the 61st Division, which could defeat the Informationized Battalion, could not catch up with them at all.
The maneuverability is too poor.
I can catch up with them, but I can’t beat them.
Any battalion of the Blue Army Division is open to them for organization. Who dares to challenge the Informationized Battalion, which has nearly 40 tanks, dozens of long-range artillery vehicles, dozens of infantry fighting vehicles, and is equipped with an aviation squadron?
Without a frontal assault by a regiment, it would be impossible to take it.
Therefore, Chen Mo targeted aerial targets from the beginning.
But he didn't expect that Commander Wang would be so ruthless and directly mobilize the bomber formation.
The edge of the Seventh War Zone in Qinglong Gorge.
The Blue Army Battalion's tanks carried out air defense operations in a horizontal line, and even their maneuvering speed continued to decrease.
Looking down from the sky.
Just like a group of slow-moving wild beasts, they crawled slowly in the darkness and in the wind and sand.
When moving forward.
Chen Mo constantly adjusted the positions of the team's left and right wing tanks based on the cross-linked satellite positioning system.
Pull it sideways as far as possible, like a roc spreading its wings, and maneuver forward.
Almost all the drones were recovered and landed at the designated location using parachutes.
Lift it quietly into the car.
In a word, except for the radar of the Blue Army Battalion, which was still wildly expanding its range of reconnaissance, the communication of other units, including public channels, was reduced to the lowest frequency.
Inside the command vehicle.
Chen Mo appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with rage. He jumped up and down, catching Advisor Lan off guard.
The other party must be trying every possible way to strangle me to death.
He thought about joining forces with the Red Army Division to make a big move, but up to now, except for the Division Reconnaissance Battalion of the 139th Division, there was no movement from other units.
Chen Mo was not familiar with the people in Jincheng Military Region, and he didn't know any of the 139th.
What's more, once the two Type A divisions go to war, the battle will not be something that a single battalion can participate in.
If both sides let go, the Blue Army Division's movements will only become more terrifying and faster. At present, the Red Army Division is not moving, and the Blue Army will be more restrained.
"There's a response from Battalion Commander Chen, Captain Wang, Company Commander Cheng, and Staff Officer Feng."
"They said they were evacuating the Blue Army garrison area."
"Do you need to join us?"
While Chen Mo was thinking, the intelligence officer in charge of communications asked loudly.
"No, let them find a place to hide and make plans after daybreak."
Chen Mo waved his hand without much response.
Upon hearing this, Deputy Battalion Commander Gao Jin looked up outside the command vehicle. The surrounding tanks were scattered and their traces were barely visible.
If it weren't for the cross-linked satellite positioning system, I would have no idea where my team is with my naked eyes.
Lao Gao stared outside for a while, then moved closer to Chen Mo and lowered his voice, "Chen Ying, are you sure that Advisor Lan will retaliate?"
This time, he didn't even wait for Chen Mo to respond.
The voice of the soldier in charge of the radar came from the communicator.
"Air alarm!!"
"Air alarm!!"
"A formation of Blue Army H-6 fighter jets has been detected in the northeast."
"Cruising speed 800km/h, expected to arrive over our camp in nine minutes."
Vehicle-mounted radar has the highest communication authority during wartime, and the sound can be transmitted to the entire camp in the first time.
Except for Chen Mo and a limited number of commanders, no one expected that the enemy's first wave of air strikes would come so quickly.
That's a bomber formation.
With the scale of ordinary exercises, who has ever seen this thing flying overhead?
For a moment, many soldiers were panicked.
The tank positioning showed that several tanks had emergency brakes and stopped moving forward.
Chen Mo's eyes lit up. He was worried before it came, but now that it really came, he felt relieved.
There is no point in panicking when facing a powerful enemy.
"Open communication access for the entire battalion." Chen Mo gave the order seriously, grabbed the communicator and said loudly: "Comrades, don't panic."
"Order, tactical missile unit, prepare for battle!!"
Chen Mo sounded quite serious when giving this order, but it was of no use to the entire battalion.
Because the Blue Army Camp’s rocket launchers, anti-aircraft guns, howitzers, including the Z-9 attack helicopter, posed no threat to the bombers at all.
Without a decent air defense interception system, it would be impossible. The team of Xiangjian was short of manpower and equipment to interfere with the enemy's navigation system from such a distance.
The Blue Army Camp faced an unprecedented crisis.
The reason why Chen Mo gave such an order was because of his soldier's dignity. Even if he knew that he couldn't win or reach the target, he had to try.
"The rest of the squadron, stop the car immediately, turn off the engine, and deploy ground camouflage."
"Heat source decoy team, activate the backup plan."
"Comrades, we have conducted air combat warnings in Huanglongwanggou more than once. This time, it's time to test our results."
"All teams, execute immediately!!"
Pah pah pah!!
As Chen Mo gave the order, all the tanks in the battalion shut down their communications and engines.
To cool down the heat source, all the soldiers rushed out of the tanks against the yellow sand and quickly and professionally camouflaged the heavy targets.
On all tanks, the equipment is covered with a canvas-like material that insulates against heat.
The earth-gray paint is perfect for the terrain of Qinglong Gorge and is very deceptive.
The other part of the heat source decoy team is responsible for inflating the movable camouflage targets.
A large number of fake targets with built-in hydrogen heat sources and equipped with motor thrust continued to maneuver in the opposite direction at a cluster scale.
All this seems like tedious work.
But it only took six minutes from the time the order was given to the time the soldiers in the entire battalion dispersed and lay down in the yellow sand.
Chen Mo also buried himself in the yellow sand and ran to a place several hundred meters away from the tank.
He knew that Commander Wang was well aware of the equipment of the Blue Army Battalion and that the entire battalion did not have the ability to launch long-range and short-range surface-to-air missiles.
And this information will definitely be provided by the Blue Army Division to the Air Force.
Therefore, Chen Mo was certain that the Blue Army's bomber formation would not have any scruples and would not cruise here for too long.
Because the targets pose no threat to them, the bomber formations do not need to worry about combat losses and will patrol the vicinity at an extremely fast speed.
Two minutes later.
A rumbling sound of breaking through the air passed over his head. Chen Mo listened to the fighter jet leaving and did not move.
The battalion commander didn't move, and the soldiers scattered around him naturally lay in the sand without moving.
About five or six minutes later, the familiar sound of breaking air appeared again.
Whoosh whoosh! ! !
Boom boom boom!!!
A few kilometers away, the bait team disguised as a heat source was completely wiped out.
But not completely destroyed.
Because Beidou didn't exist at that time and networking hadn't started, the bombers' accuracy was impressive, with some having significant deviations, reaching several hundred meters.
One of them even landed near the tank, but fortunately it was out of range and not considered combat damage.
Chen Mo tilted his head back, staring at the fighter jets flying across the sky, and spit out a mouthful of sand fiercely: "Fuck, they can't even be on time."
But despite the scolding, he did not stand up.
He also didn't let anyone else in the camp stand up.
The bomber formation has a large cruising area and will not stay in the Seventh War Zone for too long.
After all, there is a Red Army division in the Seventh War Zone, and the other side will not allow bombers to show off their power overhead.
Chen Mo was just holding on, waiting for the bomber formation to fly over. This time, he had to give the Blue Army another big gift no matter what.
About half an hour later.
When he heard no more sound, Chen Mo climbed up from the sand pile, brushed off the yellow sand on his body, and waved to the communicator in the distance.
Beep-beep!!
Waves of whistles spread nearby, alerting the hidden soldiers to lift the air alarm.
Puff puff puff.
One after another, figures stood up from the sand pile and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had survived a disaster.
"Go, notify each team to take roll call, and the medical team to prepare for rescue and check for any casualties."
"Check the tanks. The rest of the squadrons, restore the mobile mix. Those who need to refuel, do so immediately."
"yes!"
Liu Min, captain of the medical team, responded seriously.
Hiding in the yellow sand for half an hour, some accidents are inevitable, but the evacuation at the beginning is done in groups.
They take care of each other.
The roll call ended quickly, and fortunately, no casualties were found after investigation.
Blue Army Division Headquarters.
The bomber formation of the 6th Air Division passed on the news that a mobile force was indeed found in the cruising area and had been eliminated.
According to the original arrangement, Wang Songhe should be happy.
But now he couldn't be happy at all.
He had no idea whether the Information Battalion had been destroyed or not. He always felt that the guy named Chen would not be so easy to deal with.
What made him even more upset was...
Even though the mobile rescue team did not encounter the information battalion on the way and did not suffer from bombing, they fell into a minefield after arriving at the lost contact area.
The loss was not great. All in all, only a dozen heavy-armored vehicles were blown up along several rescue lines, which amounted to the loss of a company of heavy-armored vehicles.
This loss is nothing for a division.
The worst-hit group was probably the 1st Tank Battalion of the Armored Regiment. After a round of bombing, they finally managed to gather the remaining one-third of the mobile group to go for rescue.
The rescued unit was fine.
Instead, the tanks they went to rescue fell into a minefield, and more than half of them were killed or injured on the spot. The directorate decided that the entire 1st Tank Battalion should withdraw from the battlefield.
This battle is so frustrating.
A mighty motorized infantry division was led by the nose by a battalion-level commander.
After a whole night of hard work, one battalion commander, five or six company commanders, and more than thirty platoon leaders were killed on our side.
In the northwest front garrison area, the grassroots commanders were almost broken.
The Red Army snipers captured wave after wave of people, and they have captured hundreds of people, but they haven’t finished yet.
Wang Songhe even doubted how many scouts were available in the information battalion. In his impression, there seemed to be only one reconnaissance company.
Could it be that the Red Army Division was involved?
Thinking of this, Wang Songhe shook his head quickly. The 139th Division of the Red Army had just arrived at the war zone in the afternoon. The units had not yet recovered their vitality and were not familiar with the terrain.
Under such circumstances, it is not suitable to carry out large-scale military movements.
What's more, if the Red Army Division was involved, there wouldn't be just this little commotion tonight.
Wang Songhe stood beside the map, his brows furrowed, thinking about the battle situation.
The eastern and northwest fronts cannot continue to be tossed around like this if we allow the information battalion to attack us here and there.
I'm afraid that before the decisive battle even comes, the heavy armored combat effectiveness of the entire division will be reduced by several percent.
"Lao Lin, do you think this information battalion has been dealt with?"
Wang Songhe turned his head and looked at the combat staff officer Lin Yifeng.
Old Lin had been busy for a while and was enjoying a steamed bun with tea. When he heard the question, he stretched his neck and swallowed the bun and said, "Commander, you think too highly of this information battalion."
"Hasn't Commander Liu responded? Six bomber formations have been patrolling the entire area and have already spotted the enemy. Even if this battalion is very capable, the casualties in this battle are likely to be substantial."
"With over a hundred scouts deployed and losses included, how many people are left?"
"Commander, you should go and rest for a while. It's almost three o'clock. I'm afraid the Red Army Division will not be at peace during the day tomorrow. There will always be exploratory attacks."
"Let's be on guard against the people from 139."
Hearing this, Wang Songhe nodded, but his worries were not dispelled.
No matter how cruel the wolf cub is, it relies on its sharp teeth and claws. Is the information system really that powerful?
It was just a battalion-level experiment, but it caused a whole motorized infantry division to be in a state of panic.
Is it the system that is powerful, or the person who leads the system?
To be honest, Commander Wang was more inclined towards the former. He really envied the ability to detect and destroy, and to carry out long-range attacks.
As for whether the information camp is still there, Wang Songhe has no idea for the time being, but he knows that with Chen Mo's character.
As long as he still has the fighting power, he will bite himself like a wolf.
"Notify all garrisons on the Eastern, Southern, and Northwestern fronts to strengthen their defenses tonight to guard against a surprise attack by the Red Army."
"I'm going to take a rest."
"yes!"
Lin Yifeng watched the division commander leave the combat command room. He did not take the information battalion seriously, but he still dared not compromise on the orders he had to carry out.
The order was immediately conveyed to the subordinate regiments.
It's late at night.
There is always a darkest hour before dawn.
It was a little after three o'clock in the morning in Qinglong Gorge, and even the wind and sand had died down a lot, but Chen Mo seemed to be full of energy.
Sitting in the command vehicle, he ordered the entire battalion to maneuver quickly towards the eastern front.
Rumble!
The mixed team, in assault formation, opened up a distance of several kilometers. The wind and thunder were raging, raising yellow dust all over the sky.
Chen Mo sat in the command vehicle, spread out the map, and studied how to attack the next Blue Army camp.
At the same time, he called Cheng Dong, Wang Jianbin, Feng Guoqing and others to join him.
These people have been to the vicinity of the Blue Army’s base and are most familiar with the terrain and routes. Attacking the Blue Army’s base is no different from engaging in a skirmish.
The garrison area has the ability to provide rapid support, has trenches to avoid air raids, and can organize counterattacks in the shortest time possible.
So this battle cannot be like the previous ones, where we just fight whoever we meet.
It has to be planned carefully.
Not only the attacking units need to be planned, but also the retreat routes.
Chen Mo was checking the map. Deputy Battalion Commander Gao Jin sat beside him and said with a worried look on his face, "Captain Chen, this attack will be different from the previous ones. It's almost dawn."
"If the Blue Army deploys another bomber formation during the day, our heat source deception tactics will be useless."
"What are you afraid of!"
Chen Mo shook his head: "After this battle, we will retreat to the main force of the Red Army and rest for two days."
"With the 139th Division as our backup, we don't even need to dig toilets. We can just stay around their base. Do you think the H-6 formations will dare to come?"
Holy crap!!!
Gao Jin and Chen Mo have known each other for quite some time, but this was the first time he had witnessed Captain Chen's rogue side.
He was stunned when he heard it.
The bases of each unit in the exercise are designated by the directorate and cannot be changed at will.
Again, exercises are to train troops' combat capabilities and adapt them to various response plans for combat.
The directorate gave us the ability to deploy troops at will, but it didn't say we could do it at will. It's like you're allowed to sneak into the Red Army Division's territory and even take advantage of the toilet, right?
Can we be more shameless?
"That's not true, Captain Chen." Gao Jin laughed dryly. "The main force of the 139th Division only arrived yesterday afternoon. We don't know their exact location."
"That's nothing."
As he spoke, Chen Mo pulled out another map from his pocket, circled an area with a pencil, and said, "I asked Captain Zhou privately, and the Red Army artillery regiment is 50 kilometers west of our mobile position."
"After defeating the Blue Army, we will camp nearby before daybreak."
"We don't even need to arrange sentries. Someone else will take care of that for us."
Gao Jin was speechless as he watched Chen Mo take out a map from his pocket as if it were a magic trick.
After joining the Information Camp for a long time, he more or less knew that the Lu Academy had conducted many experiments on informationization in the past.
The factors that lead to failure each time are a combination of various aspects.
But Gao Jin felt that one more factor had to be added to those factors: there had never been such a shameless person appointed as a commander before.
Let’s just say, if there is any commander with a little bit of moral integrity, who would do such a thing?
After causing trouble, you throw it onto your ally's head, then run to the next room next to your ally and fall into a deep sleep?
As long as you have this awareness, you won half the battle without having to fight hard on the battlefield.
This guy is so shameless.
