Chapter 315: The September plan is still gone
There is ballistic radar locking and fire control radar to assist.
The independent artillery battalion was targeted by the combined battalion without air defense capabilities.
That's just a salvo.
Boom boom boom boom.
The noise coming from a few kilometers away also slightly affected the battalion headquarters.
Chen Jun came out of the staff headquarters. He raised his head and looked into the distance.
Proud and profound.
After all, Chen Jun is just a young man in his early twenties. From the bottom of his heart, he really likes this kind of momentum of destroying enemy troops with a wave of his hand.
In front of the big screen at the command post behind, the group of officers who had been watching the excitement were a bit dumbfounded and looked at the battlefield with complicated expressions.
At this time, the artillery camp had been completely destroyed, and the entire artillery firing position was covered in thick smoke.
Some of the smoke is dust from rocket bombs, and some is just dust.
Through the images projected back from the mid-air drone, you can clearly see dozens of soldiers from the artillery battalion, rushing out of the thick smoke one after another, choking and running towards the distance.
Several company commanders in the command room opened their mouths.
They originally wanted to think that it would be too shameless to move the headquarters to the battalion headquarters.
After all, no matter how they conduct this exercise, their battalion will not be defeated because the headquarters will not be attacked.
But no one thought that in this drill, one battalion fighting two battalions would win so easily.
The war started in less than half an hour.
On the entire battlefield, the two battalions currently playing the role of the enemy have less than ten 96G tanks left in total, and they are forced to tremble in a corner.
All enemy artillery battalions were destroyed.
The combined battalion that destroyed them did not move at all. It was more like they fired a round of rockets while encircling the point for reinforcements.
Without the threat of the artillery battalion, even if the combined battalion lost its unified command because of Chen Jun's rise, the entire battle was lost.
The situation on the battlefield is still fierce, and there is no need for command at all.
The veterans of the three reinforced infantry platoons, a total of one or two hundred people, were either carrying rocket launchers or moving the 82 mortar position, adjusting their position with their thumbs up, scrambling to attack the remaining few tank.
You don’t even need a tank company to take action.
This battle has reached this level without any suspense.
Watching the scene from beginning to end, several company commanders were shocked at first, and then became a little numb.
Before the war started, they thought they would win, but they didn't expect it would be so easy. After all, they were still two main camps.
"Anything gained?"
Chen Jun stared at the direction of the battlefield in the distance for a while, until he could no longer hear the explosion, he turned and looked at the company commanders in the command room.
Ignoring the expressions on their faces.
Chen Jun said in a calm voice: "You have never seen how the combined battalion fights before. I only emphasized your cooperation."
"Although the exercise just now was short, to a certain extent, It shows the combined power, you will gain something after seeing it, right?”
Being stared at by the deputy battalion commander’s burning eyes, several company commanders quickly reacted.
However, just as a few people were about to speak out their opinions.
Chen Jun waved his hand: "There is no need to say it. Each company will arrange for personnel to gather for a meeting to discuss and find out the shortcomings of previous training."
"A drill consumes so much military expenditure, not for you to stand Express your thoughts here."
"Gather the entire company together for a unified discussion. When the time comes, there will be a branch meeting in the camp. I want to see what each of your companies has learned."
"Disband."
Chen Jun waved his hand and finished the brief explanation.
He himself was the first to leave the staff headquarters and walk upstairs quickly.
Stop saying hello to anyone.
Some cadres noticed the deputy battalion leaving and thought he had other work to do, so they didn't pay much attention.
Li Haiyao followed out of the staff headquarters. She glanced at the direction Chen Jun left strangely, but instinctively felt that Chen Jun was walking in a panic.
But I don’t understand why.
But soon, she discovered the truth.
Just a few minutes after the meeting ended, each company commander informed via radio in the command room that the exercise was over and returned to the training ground to assemble.
When these company commanders left the battalion headquarters and prepared to go to the training ground to convene a meeting, they didn't know that they had just arrived at the entrance of the battalion gate.
Not waiting to go out yet.
A roaring jeep rushed over and drove into the camp headquarters "rampantly".
Of course, the driver was also cautious, knowing that there were many people at the camp headquarters, but he kept the gear low and stepped on the accelerator hard, so the speed was not very fast.
But even this shocked a group of company commanders.
A few people looked unkind, and when they were about to bring bad luck on the intruder, they looked up and saw a jeep stopping, and two gray-faced lieutenant colonels getting out of the car.
The company commander who was planning to find bad luck suddenly stopped and left the battalion headquarters with a jerky step.
These two disgraced men were really no outsiders. The driver was Xiao Jianfeng, the tank battalion commander, and the gun battalion commander Wu Gaochuan was sitting in the co-pilot.
Despite the poor appearance of the two of them now, the original color of the military uniforms that were covered with dirt was almost invisible.
But these two are really "tyrannical" in the 179th Brigade. There is no way. In a unit like the Motorized Rifle Brigade, there are two battalion commanders, one in charge of tanks and the other in charge of howitzers.
It’s strange that his back is so weak.
They are all hard.
Especially Xiao Jianfeng, the commander of the tank battalion. Despite his small stature, this guy has a very big temper.
As soon as he got off the car, he raised his hand to rub the dust off his face, raised his head and cursed loudly.
"Where did the bastard old Chen go?"
"Come out here, we agreed to let us come over to familiarize ourselves with your battalion training, and we will assist you."
“You’re such a nice guy, so that’s why you asked us to help you?”
“Where are the people? Where did they go?”
The two battalion commanders were cursing and walking towards the staff headquarters.
Li Haiyao stood aside and blinked. She looked up at the upstairs, and then at the two people who came to find Chen Jun angrily. She finally understood why Chen Jun went upstairs so quickly just now. .
This was thought of in advance. The two battalion commanders who were bombed would come over to settle accounts.
Everyone bared their teeth and yelled at him, so Chen Jun ran away early.
Of course, Zhao Ziheng and Lin Jinhua need to come forward.
Anyway, no one knows exactly what they were talking about.
The staff department was locked up, and only a few curses could occasionally be heard from inside.
Such as: Damn it, I have never fought such a frustrating battle in more than ten years as a soldier.
Another example: What about Chen Jun? Just fight the war well, what the heck, now the whole camp is feeling shadowy after hearing the news broadcast, damn it.
While they were cursing downstairs, Chen Jun was sitting in the conference room on the second floor, drinking tea leisurely, accompanied by Staff Officer Liang.
Liang Kexiang took out a cigarette from his body and threw one to Chen Jun. He couldn't help but lower his voice and asked: "Old Chen, the artillery battalion and tank battalion are coming to settle accounts with you. Why don't you go down and support them?"
"What support?"
When Chen Jun heard this, he leaned back in his chair and smiled relaxedly: "What's wrong with being scolded? I just got beaten up, and I'm not happy yet." Are you scolding me?”
Chen Jun really didn’t care.
The tank battalion and the artillery battalion were the ones he originally approached Tao Brigade to come over as a training partner.
By the way, to solve the problem of lack of backbones in daily training and camps, these two camps are both veteran camps. Putting aside their strength for the moment, they definitely have a lot of backbones in their hands.
After only a few days here, it is obvious that the usual training in the camp is much easier.
How can it not be easy? A tank company is training there, and a whole tank battalion is supervising.
If I leave others alone, I'm afraid I will never encounter such a wealthy sparring team in my life.
This is equivalent to tutoring. In the past, there were too few teachers. Two teachers were responsible for one hundred students, and they had limited energy and couldn't handle it.
But now there are hundreds of teachers coming to take care of it. Regardless of whether these teachers are half-skilled or not, three cobblers can still stand up to Zhuge Liang.
As long as the combined battalion brings together the three main companies of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and artillery vehicles, it will initially have combat effectiveness. As for other reconnaissance, logistics, engineers, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc., will assist from the side. .
There is no shortcut, only slow grinding.
However, the soldiers transferred from these companies have more or less corresponding majors, and they are not trained from scratch. The difficulty is relatively low.
Now that the first battalion has achieved a certain level of combat effectiveness, the next most difficult thing is not training.
The problem should be focused on the cadres.
After all, no matter how sharp the sword is, if it encounters a swordsman who cannot use the sword, it will be useless.
It's a pity that the firepower unit under the Motorized Rifle Brigade is really not a good whetstone.
A single artillery battalion and a tank battalion cannot allow the first battalion to show its due strength at all. It is almost as good as a fight with the mechanized infantry brigade next door.
Chen Jun held a cigarette in his right hand. , tapping the table gently with his left hand, but thinking about how to let the first battalion fight a few more large-scale battles in his mind. Making fists with clenched fingers is a process, a process that requires constant fighting. You can't train it and you can't wait for it. You can only fight it for real.
. . . . . .
The situation in the first battalion is relatively stable. Except for the two swearing battalion commanders who are a little angry, there is no other excitement.
It seems like this is just an ordinary drill.
But the external influence is far more than this.
The news that this exercise directly defeated the two veteran battalions at a devastating speed was like growing wings.
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Jun and Zhao Ziheng, the two battalion commanders who were working in tandem, were summoned to the brigade headquarters by a phone call from Brig. Tao.
In the brigade commander’s office.
The difference from the past is that this time I didn’t get scolded when I came over. When Tao Junming saw the two coming, his hearty laughter almost made Lao Zhao stunned.
Every time Zhao Ziheng came to the brigade during this period, the treatment was really a mixture of sour, bitter, spicy and salty, but not sweet.
Every time I got scolded, I was shocked to see Tao Lu so happy, which made Lao Zhao look at Chen Jun a little unconfidently after finishing his report.
That look made me want to ask him directly what was going on.
Tao Junming naturally noticed the small movements of the two people. He waved his hands and sat on the chair.
The smile on his face remained unchanged as he said: "Chen Jun."
"Arrived!!"
"The exercise went well this time. The superiors also called and told me about this. They also praised me for being courageous, courageous, strategic, and daring to think and do."
"What do you think?"< br>
Hearing Tao Brig’s question, he looked at the brigade commander’s smiling expression.
Chen Jun immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting to the brigade commander, I have nothing to say. This is just a normal exercise."
"There are still many unresolved problems within the first battalion. A field exercise explains nothing.”
"If the combat speed at that time had not been so fast, the progress had been delayed, and the area had been expanded, the war situation might not have advanced so easily."
"The final result is also difficult to predict."
< br>"Yes."
Listening to Chen Jun's non-arrogant response, Tao Junming nodded slightly.
As the brigade commander, Tao Junming can naturally look beyond the limitations of the unit to see the essence. The artillery battalion and tank battalion of their motorized infantry brigade are positioned as battalion-level firepower units to assist infantry operations.
The overall strength is actually not strong.
Faced with a new unit like the Synthetic Battalion, which had both powerful firepower and battalion-level logistics, they were pressed to the ground and rubbed hard, and the result was not surprising.
But results come from results. The Hehe 1st Battalion was able to achieve such results in its first drill. It is good news for military reform, group armies or theaters.
When it comes to forming a new type of combat unit, the final requirement must be combat effectiveness.
During this period, the above invested so much energy, manpower, and weapons, and finally saw the results.
Therefore, Chen Jun is not the only one who wants to further experiment with the combat capabilities of the first battalion.
At the group army meeting, a meeting was also held on this matter, but it is obviously not feasible at the moment. It is already the end of August.
The retirement season will be here in a few days, and all units will be busy with these things. In mid-September, the Army Group will also hold a martial arts competition to eliminate the impact of the retirement season.
Right now, Chen Jun himself can find out the shortcomings of the current first battalion through this drill, which is undoubtedly what the brigade headquarters hopes to see.
Tao Junming pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "There are many things in September, and there are other things to arrange in the army."
"You battalion must take advantage of this period to find a way to solve all the problems as soon as possible. I don't care how you arrange it during this period, and I don't care how you train it."
"In a word, one month's time , I want to see a completely reborn battalion."
"There is no other reason. Since you have shown your combat effectiveness, the opponents the army will arrange for you next time will not be those who will not fight back. The empty hilltop is not the artillery battalion and tank battalion of our 179th Brigade, which are obviously short in firepower."
"The firepower experiment of the new unit may exceed your imagination."
" Do you understand? ”
"Yes, Brigadier!!"
Chen Jun and Zhao Ziheng both stood at attention and saluted! !
I ended this meeting with some encouragement and some tasks.
After coming out of the brigade headquarters building.
Zhao Ziheng let out a long sigh of relief and couldn't help but laugh: "This is the first time I have come to the brigade headquarters in the past month and I didn't get scolded."
"Are you not used to it?" Chen Jun asked with a smile when he heard this, and then took out the cigarette box and gave one to Lao Zhao.
"Fuck you."
Zhao Ziheng lit the cigarette, took a deep breath and blew out two puffs of smoke from his nostrils. His expression changed from relaxed at first to a little worried.
"Tao Brigade said that the army has no time to arrange for us recently, but the new unit is experimenting with firepower. I'm afraid the battle will not be small. It will be difficult to pass September."
" How sure are you?”
"There is none in Chengdu."
When Chen Jun heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and shook his head and said: "Experiments are no better than drills. Who knows how many combat troops will be deployed by the time."
"It's possible. It's a regiment, maybe a brigade. It's said to be an experiment. It will definitely depend on the final battle damage data."
"Who can be sure about this?"
"That's the case. ”
The two battalion commanders chatted all the way back to the battalion headquarters. There was nothing going on that afternoon, and Chen Jun did not convene a meeting with cadres.
Leave them alone on the training ground, busy digesting the benefits brought by this battle.
After all, this is the first time that the new battalion has participated in a battle, no matter how small the scale of the battle or how short the time.
There will always be different experiences for each company.
This experience lasted until the evening, when the whole camp held a summary meeting.
A meeting was held at this time, and the cadres in the battalion were not stupid. They had just had a drill during the day, and did not say anything in the middle, allowing each company to summarize.
Put all the experience gained into the afternoon training.
The announcement was not made until the evening. You knew without asking that all companies were required to speak at tonight's meeting, not only to point out what problems were discovered during this exercise.
It is also necessary to elaborate on the solutions to these problems.
So, in less than ten minutes after the meeting was announced, the company commanders, instructors, and all members of the staff were already in place.
In the battalion meeting.
The battalion commander Zhao Ziheng was sitting on one side. He lowered his head and just drank tea, as if he didn't care about anything.
The instructor also cast his gaze into the distance, obviously not intending to speak.
If the two of them don't talk, then only Chen Jun will be left to chair the meeting.
Chen Jun coughed lightly, his eyes swept over everyone in the conference room, and then he crossed his fingers and propped his arms on the conference table.
He said calmly: "Comrades, let's talk about it. Our whole battalion had a drill this morning."
"There is an artillery battalion and a tank battalion to cooperate. After the first battle, how do you feel? How are they?”
“Let’s talk about it.”
The company commanders of the first battalion have known Chen Jun for a long time, and they can generally feel some of his temperament. .
In previous meetings, the deputy battalion commander would always get straight to the point as long as he presided over the meeting.
Either talk about planning or talk about problems.
Today, they were suddenly asked to speak first. Many company commanders who originally had smiles on their faces began to gradually stop smiling.
After all, if you ask your superiors to praise you, you really did a good job. When it was your turn to speak, why didn't you praise yourself?
Everyone is working hard to compare today's drill with their usual training.
The tank company commander He Yingtao straightened his back and sat in his seat. He glanced around and noticed that no one spoke, so he simply stood up by himself.
He was the first to speak: "Report, I personally feel that this exercise was very good. The eight companies have initially developed the ability to coordinate operations."
"At least when the reconnaissance company went out for investigation in time, The cooperation between all our parties is tacit, and there is no problem in coordinating firepower within a certain range."
"Report!"
After Lao He sat down, the armored company commander Ma Hongjie said. Then he stood up and said: "The tank battalion did not make timely adjustments during this exercise. Small-scale combat was an intense war."
"Due to communication interference, the tank battalion did not make defensive arrangements immediately. Let us take advantage of it.”
"I don't think there's much of a problem in terms of coordination."
Two "no problems" came out of the conference room, and the company commanders clearly felt that the deputy battalion, who had been silent, had a look of embarrassment on his face.
The voice of the company commander who was reporting his experience on this drill suddenly stopped.
The atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly solidified.
