Chapter 178: Red And Blue Infiltrate Each Other, Wild Chaos!
Regarding Bai Tie Jun’s cowardly mindset, Wu Liu Yi and the others actually all had quite a few opinions about it, but thinking that it didn’t affect the mission, they didn’t say much more.
And Shi Jin, who similarly sought to steadily complete the mission, at this moment stood on the same line as Bai Tie Jun.
“Bai Tie Jun is right, we can’t take risks.”
Shi Jin frowned and said seriously: “Before setting out, the deputy company commander specifically instructed that we have only one mission, which is to find the Blue Army Command Post.
We absolutely cannot let anything affect this core mission.
Even if the Blue Army Camp is empty now, once we enter the Blue Army Camp, when they return to the camp, they will definitely discover that we have infiltrated here.
If we expose our position in the enemy rear, how can we complete the mission then?”
“So…”
Wu Liu Yi understood Shi Jin’s idea and took over his words: “We not only can’t rob the Blue Army, but we also have to carefully bypass them.
Before finding the Blue Army General Headquarters, we absolutely cannot let the Blue Army know that a small team like ours has infiltrated into their rear.”
As longtime deputy squad leader partners, now turned squad leader and platoon leader, their coordination was still so seamless.
“Ah, fragrant meat is right in front of us, yet we can’t take a bite, this is too agonizing, it’s pure torment, better not to have seen it at all.” Xie Chong said unwillingly.
“Yeah, I was thinking we’ve come all this way, might as well go in and find some good food, maybe even get a hot meal, we’ve been walking mountain roads for half a day, my stomach is flat from hunger, I really don’t want to eat compressed biscuits.”
Gan Xiao Ning had a face full of bitterness, just like missing out on a five-million lottery ticket.
“All day long just thinking about eating, why don’t you take a mirror and have a good look, your face is almost fat as a ball, eat any more and you’ll turn into a ball.” Bai Tie Jun teased.
“Get lost, who’s like you, skinny as a monkey, careful the wind doesn’t blow you away.” Gan Xiao Ning countered.
Seeing these two natural clowns at odds again, starting a verbal battle here, Shi Jin, who was already used to it, directly ignored the two and ordered: “Liu Yi, let’s do it this way, bypass them and continue deeper.
Once we find the Blue Army General Headquarters, report this coordinate along with it, by then we can handle it together, it might not be too late.”
“Okay.”
Wu Liu Yi nodded, stood up, and left.
The Vanguard Reconnaissance Squad resisted the temptation, not swayed by the immediate benefit temptation, firmly stuck to their core mission, and set off again.
This represented that the squad was heading toward maturity, already possessing the thought soul of an ace reconnaissance squad.
Able to endure, able to stay calm.
This is the basic for ace scouts!
The combat power of the reconnaissance squad still had great room for improvement, just give them enough time to grow, and they would absolutely become genuine “battlefield sharp knives”.
…
The Vanguard Squad stumbled upon Old A Camp, resisted the temptation and didn’t greedily attack to steal the crystal.
Instead, under Acting Platoon Leader Shi Jin’s lead, they continued silently deeper into the Blue Army hinterland, searching for the still clueless Blue Army General Headquarters.
Yuan Lang here didn’t know the main camp was nearly stolen, at this moment he had already brought the team to the forward position.
Last time leading the team here was to annihilate the Red Army, and they ultimately exceeded the goal, easily taking out most of a Red Army company.
The Ninth Company Commander and Tenth Company Commander didn’t learn their lesson, and were thus temporarily demoted to soldiers.
If not for later being countered by Chen Jun, causing Old A to lose eleven great generals in full, this would have been a textbook-level lure the enemy deeper.
This time Yuan Lang brought people back to the frontline position, his goal was no longer ordinary Red Army.
Continuing to arm wrestle with the Red Army guarding the position could no longer influence the war’s direction, much less decide the victory or defeat of this mountain confrontation.
So Yuan Lang’s goal this time changed, to the battalion command post in the rear.
The core goal was to find the Red Army Command Post!
After the Army Aviation Force couldn’t find the Red Army Command Post, and communications interception was evaded by the Red Army with clumsy methods, the most effective means left was ground infiltration reconnaissance.
The most reliable existence on the battlefield is always living people.
Not any equipment or gear.
Next was to cooperate with the Army Aviation Force’s strike actions, find the locations of each Red Army battalion headquarters, then strike the battalion-level command posts.
Since the Red Army General Headquarters kept moving irregularly between battalion command posts.
Then take out all the Red Army battalion-level command posts, use the clumsiest method to solve the trickiest trouble, leaving the Red Army Command Post nowhere to hide.
Moreover, taking out the intermediate battalion-level command posts could also sever the Seventh Hundred and Second Regiment’s command lifeline.
Making the already lagging command system even more chaotic and disordered.
Even ultimately completely paralyzing it!
It had to be said.
Yuan Lang was still a rare war genius, his brain’s shrewdness and sensitivity to the battlefield didn’t disgrace his great intelligence like a demon.
If Yuan Lang fully executed the plan and took out all the Red Army battalion-level command posts.
That would mean…
The method Chen Jun came up with, not to say perfect, but at least the currently most effective way to protect the regiment command post, was cracked by Yuan Lang just like that.
And it was quite the perfect crack.
While Chen Jun was thinking of ways to break Blue Army tactics, Yuan Lang was thinking of ways to break Chen Jun’s tactics, equaling the two playing peak game across space.
Making this exercise already in the late stage enter the climax period from this moment.
At this time, the Red Army’s main anti-air defense forces were placed on protecting frontline charge tanks, and had to split some to protect the Logistics Support Company.
Indeed, there weren’t enough forces left to also protect the three battalion-level unit command posts.
Even though each battalion knew communications were monitored by the Blue Army, they tried as much as possible not to use radio to issue orders, to prevent precise counterstrikes by the Blue Army.
They all started using the clumsiest primitive communications, reactivating ancient messengers.
Having communications soldiers carry orders, drive to verbally relay them.
Only for extremely urgent orders that truly couldn’t wait for people to deliver, would they use radio to transmit the orders as a last resort.
This method indeed made the Blue Army’s communications monitoring completely useless.
Even after each battalion headquarters conducted tactical transfers, the Blue Army had no way to learn the specific locations of each battalion headquarters through technological power.
The advantages were very obvious.
The disadvantages were equally obvious.
First, order transmission was very delayed, efficiency greatly discounted.
From issuing an order to execution, the fastest took half an hour, if facing an opponent of equal scale, the command system would basically paralyze.
Fortunately, the Blue Army total was just this many people, and the Red Army things to do were just this many.
Tank offense, infantry defense.
The main line here, not much change.
The command system barely sufficient, no need to cope with complex changing battle situations.
And.
Including Regiment Commander Wang and the chief of staff, through the Blue Army’s complete suppression of Red Army communications, made them realize the power of technological strength.
For the nation’s urgent modernization of the military, they gained even deeper understanding.
Equipment and technology backward, fighting was truly difficult.
If not for the emerging military genius—Chen Jun holding off the Blue Army offense with various means, Regiment Commander Wang was very clear what the Red Army would be like now.
High probability gone yesterday, impossible to hold out until now.
Much less still have a chance to win!
Next was the massive demand for messengers, causing the Signal Company to have to draw large numbers of personnel to meet this demand.
Leading to a certain degree of weakening in camp vigilance and defense compared to before.
And Yuan Lang precisely saw through all this.
Learning from Tie Lu here that all Red Army radios had almost completely stopped using, Yuan Lang judged through his experience what had happened to the Red Army.
So he personally led the team out, boldly claiming to take the Old As for some stimulation.
Bringing just twenty Old As, daring to infiltrate deep into the Red Army rear for close-in reconnaissance, once discovered would face annihilation by hundreds.
Indeed very stimulating!
But Yuan Lang never had the word cowardice, the more stimulating the more interest for him, because this was the main battlefield for special forces.
With Yuan Lang, the combat power ceiling, entering the field, the Red Army side quickly swallowed the first bone.
By sending out large numbers of two-man reconnaissance teams, secretly guarding key passes in the Red Army rear, monitoring passing vehicles one after another, and analyzing and judging the personnel on them.
Large amounts of data ultimately gathered in Yuan Lang’s hands, and he quickly found a Red Army battalion headquarters.
To prevent another empty shell from the previous air strike, with the Red Army using true and false mixes, Yuan Lang didn’t rush to attack.
Instead, after another half hour of monitoring, he confirmed this battalion headquarters.
Seeing vehicles constantly coming in and out, carrying orders to various positions, definitely a Red Army battalion headquarters after that.
Only then did Yuan Lang transmit the intelligence via radio to Tie Lu flying in the sky.
During Yuan Lang operating all this, the entire Red Army all units were completely unaware.
The only command organ guard force Signal Company, also because of splitting large numbers for messengers, didn’t have enough manpower to monitor around each battalion headquarters, could only concentrate forces to protect the regiment command post, unable to discover the situation of each battalion headquarters.
That was Chen Jun truly overlooking one detail, not making specific arrangements in this aspect.
The Signal Company made such arrangements on their own.
And this deployment that seemed fine not only didn’t play any role, but in the end of the exercise, instead brewed a big mistake.
The Steel Seventh Company Mobile Second Squad left by Chen Jun mainly responsible for deployment on the combat frontline, serving as the first interception blockade line.
Unfortunately, Second Squad was after all just a substitute reconnaissance squad, training time in all aspects still too short.
The gap with Old A was really too big.
Didn’t discover Yuan Lang had already infiltrated.
This way.
The entire mountain exercise confrontation situation turned into Chen Jun and Shi Jin each leading a Red Army team infiltrating the Blue Army rear to cause trouble everywhere, Yuan Lang leading a Blue Army Old A team, counter-infiltrating the Red Army to cause trouble.
Both sides in the opponent’s rear, the bizarre situation of crazily causing trouble.
