Chapter 182: Old A Guys Are Completely Stunned!
The other regiment opponents that Old A encountered before all had the tough style standard of armored forces.
One fiercer than the next, none of them backing down.
Even in death, they would die on the road to charging!
So in the previous four confrontations, Blue Army won very easily, with combat time lasting very short, usually ending in half a day.
The battle records that Old A achieved even subverted traditional war records.
Casually 1 to
Only until now starting to fight Seventh Hundred and Second Regiment, did Old A finally encounter a completely different playing style. Except for being impulsive at the beginning a few times, showing the tradition of armored soldiers, giving them dozens of heads.
Afterward, they all became extremely turtle-like.
One by one shrinking in position fortifications, leaving Old A truly nowhere to strike.
Now both sides opening fire in the forest, this was the terrain that Old A was most skilled at. Qi Huan originally thought that in the jungle, he could easily resolve the Red Army that infiltrated.
The result was that the Red Army in front of him had execution capability much stronger than he imagined.
Actions highly consistent, speed also very fast.
All turtling, never firing back.
This turtle playing style of shrinking without exposing heads made Old A fight very depressed.
Feeling like they prepared a heavy punch, ready to smash it out fiercely, thinking one punch could take down the enemy, easily securing victory.
But it hit cotton instead, having strength but no effect at all.
How could Old A not feel bad.
And the current reaction of Old A was exactly the effect Chen Jun wanted.
Old A’s individual soldier strength was right there; after all, they were soldier kings cultivated by the state with huge money, comprehensive strength crushing grassroots soldiers by too much.
Steel Seventh Company warriors, even with Chen Jun’s training, were still the most excellent company in Seventh Hundred and Second Regiment.
But there is a talent gap between people; talent cannot be compensated by effort, let alone that people who enter Old A do not lack effort.
Talented people who also underwent special operations training—how can ordinary people compare?
The gap is really too big!
Seventh Squad daring to expose heads and exchange fire with Old A while under attack was equivalent to seeking death; there was no possibility of matching them.
Even the sniper squad with the best marksmanship could not achieve one-on-one single combat with Old A.
So when regular troops encounter special forces, the best countermeasure is to hide, not exchange fire with the opponent, drag it out waiting for own personnel to arrive.
Then use fierce firepower for area attacks.
One blast covers a large area; no matter what soldier king, they all have to get down for me.
Mainly leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses.
Individual strength not good, then use firepower to make up.
Qi Huan at this time still had not realized that he encountered a Red Army commander stronger than his captain Yuan Lang, like a monster.
Unaware that danger had already arrived, still thinking of eating the Red Army in front of him.
Originally thinking if Red Army kept turtling like this, without even exposing to fire, without strong resistance, Old A could touch over and handle them.
Procedure slightly complex, but confident the ending would not change.
Unfortunately.
Qi Huan’s plan failed.
The Old A squad sent out touched right up close, just ten meters or so away from starting to “harvest,” when sudden dense gunshots rang out from both side forests.
Crackling…
Gunshots like firecrackers echoed through the entire forest.
“What’s going on? This Red Army is off; how is the reaction so fast?”
Support came much faster than imagined; Qi Huan’s expression inevitably changed slightly.
In his imagination.
Red Army unit’s reaction speed should be much slower, support arriving at least two or three minutes later.
And with Old A’s action speed and execution capability, they could handle the remaining Red Army in front in less than two minutes, with enough time to withdraw.
But now the attack had just started less than a minute ago, and Red Army had already flanked.
Much, much faster than the Red Army he encountered before.
Just because this Red Army was so unusual, Qi Huan’s plan was completely disrupted; the Old A who had already assaulted forward were in an even more awkward situation.
Continuing to assault forward and kill through would definitely clear the Red Army squad in front.
But by then Red Army from both sides would arrive and pinch, cutting off the six Old A ahead from headquarters, ultimately leading to the six Old A falling into Red Army encirclement.
Worst case, all six would be eliminated!
Blue Army’s consistent combat loss ratio was one Old A at least exchanging for a dozen or even twenties, embodying Old A’s value.
If for these few Red Army, all three assault groups were thrown in, ending up as one-for-one.
Old A could not accept!
Qi Huan even less so!
He only brought twenty Old A total; if six were sent here at once, how to fight the later four Red Army squads?
Thinking of this…
Qi Huan, even unwilling, could only order.
“Assault group, withdraw, all withdraw back.”
The six Old A receiving the order were unwilling; the meat was already on their faces but could not be eaten. But receiving orders, they could only return the same way.
If encountering other Red Army units, Old A could come and go shadowlessly.
Coming and going freely.
But Steel Seventh Company was not an ordinary Red Army.
Steel Seventh Company’s individual soldier quality was not as good as Old A, but their execution capability and action capability, under Chen Jun and Gao Cheng’s training, already did not lose to Old A.
On the basis of efficient execution capability and action capability, Steel Seventh Company warriors’ own quality was also higher than ordinary companies.
In front of Steel Seventh Company, and personally led by Chen Jun, you Old A could come shadowlessly, but wanting to go traceless was not that simple.
The gunshots from left and right sides were just feint attacks; the anti-tank squad coming straight on was the real deal.
Meeting face-to-face was rocket greeting!
Two rockets over, effect immediate; two Old A carried off on the spot.
The other four Old A did not dare to “not abandon,” carrying the two comrades emitting smoke away, could only rush at max speed to rendezvous with headquarters.
If not for Old A sniper giving force, strength truly evident.
One shot took out one Red Army rocket hand.
The rest dared not continue exposing to bomb; the remaining four Old A also could not escape. In front of firepower supremacy, they also had to lie down.
Blue Army side’s marksmanship too accurate and too fast; Red Army side as long as exposing head would be instantly killed.
Unwilling to let the delivered meat just run.
“Grenade, quick.”
The accompanying Third Platoon Leader’s reaction was very fast, thinking of the best countermeasure.
Grenade flies out in parabola, no need to expose to aim; just know approximate distance, rest leave to brute force fly.
Support-arriving Fifth Squad and ambushed Seventh Squad, hearing the order, all pulled out exercise grenades.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Over a dozen grenades flew over.
Blue Army already ran to forty or fifty meters away; if standing with charge inertia boost, almost all Seventh Company warriors could throw to.
But unable to expose head, could only lie and throw; most grenades could not throw that far.
However, still three grenades thrown over; coinciding perfectly, one landed right beside one Old A.
Bang~
Another Old A eliminated.
Seeing the six Old A sent out achieved nothing, just going and coming back on the road, three already remained.
Qi Huan, while unable to understand Red Army’s combat effectiveness, why suddenly so fierce.
The veins on his forehead bulged with anger!
From Blue Army’s perspective, impossible to understand why same regiment’s armored infantry had such huge combat effectiveness difference front and back.
You know, yesterday fighting positions, Sixth Company, Eighth Company, Ninth Company, and Tenth Company all fought Old A.
Result all got brutally beaten by Old A!
Qi Huan naturally thought this Red Army’s combat effectiveness was about the same as those few companies encountered; impossible for one regiment’s companies to have too big gap.
Result now after brief exchange, discovered this Red Army exceptionally weird.
If not clearly knowing fighting Seventh Hundred and Second Regiment, this company was a grassroots company, he would think encountered some military region’s special operations company.
Qi Huan participated in many exercises, confronted dozens of units.
Only Group Army or Military Region’s land special troops warriors assembled with entire army’s power gave him this confrontation pressure.
Now this pressure appeared in armored regiment; in Qi Huan’s view, it was bizarre.
“I just don’t believe it.”
Qi Huan looking at the three returning Old A, again looking at the eliminated Old A emitting smoke on the road; defiant, he not preparing to withdraw just like this.
But preparing to leverage Old A’s advantage, through overwhelming marksmanship, slowly grind the Red Army to death.
But this thought just arose, crisis arrived first.
Bang bang bang bang.
85 sniper rang out.
Among the Old A hiding in the forest, another emitted thick smoke after this round of gunshots.
“Sniper, conceal!”
Qi Huan startled, immediately reminded everyone, himself also prone down.
“Enemy at four o’clock direction.”
Among Old A, a combat-sensitive sniper expert judged enemy position through gunshots, immediately set up gun to search enemy preparing counterattack.
The enemy appearing at four o’clock direction at this time was the sniper team personally led by Chen Jun.
Based on Blue Army’s withdrawal route, easily found rear headquarters location, thus ordered sniper squad to immediately launch sneak attack.
Chen Jun knew Old A strength strong; to ensure hit probability, did not greedily want to sneak four.
But had snipers coordinated shooting, and every two groups lock one person.
Unfortunately Blue Army Old A’s crisis awareness very strong; each person’s position extremely tricky, blocked by trees without perfect shooting angle.
Originally wanted to sneak and take out two snipers, but in the end only succeeded once.
Some regret!
Red Army’s snipers already in position; Qi Huan dared not act rashly, after all once moving would expose, exposing would suffer sniper attack.
But own side’s numbers after all comparatively few, not suitable for stalemate prolonged war with opposite side.
Qi Huan quickly applied countermeasure, began ordering deployment.
By having sniper lock Red Army positions, then have another two Old A come out as maneuver bait, guide Red Army snipers to fire.
Thus expose Red Army snipers, Old A snipers counterattack and take out Red Army snipers.
This was a very common tactic!
Red Army snipers seeing Old A run out, immediately knew opponent’s intention; but if not firing, Old A would all easily run off.
No choice, could only fire.
Among them two sniper groups fired, another two sniper groups on vigilance defense.
Bang bang.
Red Army snipers fired.
The exposing Old A however not hit; his movement speed too fast, ability to use environment and timing played too well.
And right at the next moment of the two Red Army firing, Blue Army side gunshots rang.
Connection really too fast.
Even though two Red Army snipers after firing, almost at fastest speed rolled sideways, wanting to shift position not be locked by enemy.
Still one hit by Blue Army, body emitting waves of white smoke.
Even occupying heaven time earth advantage and numbers, Red Army snipers exchanging fire still could not beat Blue Army snipers; first move instead counter-killed one by opposite.
This was the gap in both sides’ hard power.
Your all-out effort was just opponent’s baseline.
If Cheng Cai here could still play a bit, at least one-on-one wrist-wrestle with opposite Old A; Steel Seventh Company only his marksmanship not losing to Old A.
Other Steel Seventh Company snipers, compared to Old A, still had big gap.
Qi Huan seeing his method effective, thus continued using it, preparing to consume Red Army snipers with same routine.
Thus another two Blue Army Old A ran out withdrawing to rear.
The sniper squad that already suffered loss earlier, remaining three snipers seeing this, for a moment really dared not fire.
Chen Jun at this time also could only be as cautious as possible. Dared not let other squads flank from side to pinch Old A.
Old A now already set up positions; any Steel Seventh Company person daring to expose head would likely immediately suffer Blue Army kill.
Only thing to do was prone advance, crawling slowly on ground.
Low prone enough concealed, but speed really too slow.
With Blue Army this withdrawal speed, two at a time, not long all would withdraw completely; then wanting to find Blue Army again difficult.
“Let me!”
Now already crucial moment; Chen Jun could only personally go into battle, quickly arrive beside one sniper, take 85-style precision shooting rifle from his hand.
Sniper squad everyone although never seen Chen Jun properly play sniper rifle.
But Steel Seventh Company number one sharpshooter Cheng Cai was hand-taught by Chen Jun, and all Steel Seventh Company sniper squad snipers also taught by Chen Jun.
This made everyone have not even a bit of doubt about Chen Jun’s marksmanship.
Even never seen Chen Jun shoot sniper rifle, this exercise until now he even not touched gun, they still had great confidence in Chen Jun.
Watching Chen Jun holding sniper rifle adjusting, eyes all surged with strong anticipation.
Deputy Company Commander going into battle, marksmanship exactly how good.
About to see immediately!
Qi Huan side unaware Red Army side already switched sniper; seeing four Blue Army Old A expose, Red Army side no firing.
Thought Red Army side already beaten scared; continuing to lure no meaning.
Plus he already discovered Red Army others not turtling motionless like before, but starting to close on their position.
If Old A continued staying here, inevitably surrounded by Red Army.
Red Army’s unreasonable rogue playing style, Qi Huan already seen earlier.
If really surrounded by this strange and weird Red Army not playing by rules, then greet them with round of rockets and grenades.
Qi Huan self-admittedly really could not withstand!
So he not preparing to drag here, decided to withdraw from here ASAP.
Two more hours until dark; after dark, Old A have absolute advantage, then come find trouble with this Red Army.
At that time definitely could easily completely annihilate this Red Army.
Qi Huan’s idea was fine.
Unfortunately too late.
Before when Qi Huan did not want to leave, he had many chances to leave; but now when he wanted to leave, opportunity already passed.
Chen Jun in this exercise had not made a move yet, always serving as commander role.
Now at exercise later stage, time to show appearance.
When Qi Huan ordered remaining Old A all withdraw, preparing after dark for second round assault, Chen Jun did not think to let them leave so easily.
Bang~
Gunshot rang.
Chen Jun as possessing absolute gun sense person, standard ace-level sniper, this shot down, immediately one Old A emitted white smoke.
“Marksmanship this accurate?”
Including Qi Huan, all Old A shocked by this shot.
Quickly stop withdrawal, all prone down again.
As veteran Old A, they knew their body techniques how good, how hard to hit.
You know…
They not foolishly withdrawing straight back; all used shelter concealment techniques, plus dexterous body skills ordinary people fundamentally could not hit.
Old A sniper through sound judgment, first time set up gun searching gunner position.
Result saw nothing.
Qi Huan could only use previous routine again, pre-ambush Old A sniper, wanting to lure Chen Jun out then take him out.
Bang~
The luring Old A emitted smoke.
But the two pre-ambushed Old A snipers both did not see the firer; when their scopes swept over, there already empty long ago.
Able to do to this extent, only one possibility.
That Red Army gunner had absolute confidence; after firing fundamentally did not check if bullet hit, completed transfer at fastest speed.
“Found him?” Qi Huan immediately asked.
“No.”
“Didn’t see him.”
Two snipers’ answers same, finally making Qi Huan realize something wrong.
Both of them were Old A professional snipers; strength no need any doubt, absolutely snipers’ ceiling.
But both did not see target, sufficient proof Red Army sniper was expert.
And a top expert!
Since exercise start, Old A never lost exchanging fire, absolute suppression in marksmanship; now reversed, suppressed by Red Army sniper.
Qi Huan and crowd Old A hard to accept, yet had to accept this reality.
Already continuously sniped two Old A by him, plus four eliminated in previous combat, they already exactly lost six.
Nearly one-third less!
While at this time Red Army side only lost six; looked like both sides loss numbers same, but this number was unacceptable to Blue Army.
This from Group Army’s baseline inspection start until now, total five confrontation exercises unfolded, Blue Army’s first time in frontal combat achieving such unbearable combat loss ratio.
Qi Huan thinking of this shameful 6 to 6, felt already no face to go back see Yuan Lang.
Face gas-blackened!
“This Red Army really too bizarre; cannot continue fighting them like this. At this combat loss ratio, fundamentally no play.”
Qi Huan felt huge pressure, realized cannot stay here longer.
Who knows what other bizarre things happen later.
To preserve remaining underlings, still have chance tonight to take down this Red Army, Qi Huan could only think way to slip quick.
Ultimately chose safest yet very frustrating low prone crawl withdrawal.
Dared not expose head, afraid sniped.
Proud Old A forced to this state; Qi Huan felt huge shame, heart’s fighting spirit also simultaneously swelled more.
Qi Huan and Chen Jun’s grudge here thoroughly knotted.
Old A using crawl way to sneak off, Chen Jun indeed did not think of; this also led to not timely react, pursue victory wave.
Originally if could drag Old A here, Chen Jun prepared to call Company Headquarters’ Gao Cheng.
Have him contact artillery company, give Old A a round of artillery strike.
Unfortunately Qi Huan really too decisive; if not him realize wrong, “endure humiliation” slip away, Qi Huan really all confessed here.
However.
Though remaining Old A all ran, but able to lead Steel Seventh Company, frontal beat win Old A team; Chen Jun very satisfied with this result too.
