Chapter 380: The 16th Brigade was destroyed by artillery, and this disaster has occurred
Starting from the ancient times of slash-and-burn farming, and the outbreak of tribal wars.
War is an extremely cruel and despairing thing.
Whether it is oral tradition or literary records, whenever words about war are mentioned, they are all described with words such as tragedy, despair, and wailing.
So, Chen Jun had no intention of figuring out the firepower organization of this Blue Army battle group.
Why do you know so clearly?
Under the rocket launcher, all living beings are equal.
If the people in the director's department don't cause trouble, he really has no excuse to bring this equal opportunity closer.
The exercise has not yet set a start time. Traces of the blue army's firepower cluster were found 34 kilometers away from our own troops.
Chen Jun has every reason to believe it.
Things like what happened last night are definitely not accidental, and they won't be done once and then stopped.
It is estimated that the superiors will take advantage of the fact that the battalion is exhausted and send out blue army troops to suppress the attack with firepower.
In that case, then be polite.
The order to fire was conveyed along with Chen Jun's order.
At 5:40 in the morning, the forward reconnaissance company sent back the specific coordinates of the Blue Army cluster.
At 5:46, the forward radar positioning was received by the artillery connection, and there was no satellite positioning authority.
All technical sergeants of the artillery company were dispatched. Based on the pre-planned shooting parameters, combined with the location, distance, angle, etc. of the target point, they began to draw pictures to calculate the best launch point for the artillery strike.
More than thirty kilometers apart, without precise satellite guidance, we can only rely on radar, infrared, and laser guidance methods to lock it.
Even if short- and medium-range missiles do not have precise guidance, the calculated data error will not be very large, only a few hundred meters at most.
This is still a very pessimistic situation. Generally, as long as the calculations are correct, the target error of tens of kilometers is only a dozen meters.
The same cannot be said for long-range missiles.
Without precise satellite guidance, a missile with an attack range of more than a thousand kilometers can at most ensure that it can penetrate into a city-wide range, with an error larger than a small cell.
The artillery battery needs to calculate the best shooting data and is being adjusted.
Time passed little by little.
Chen Jun stood in the temporary command room, his eyes fixed on the images transmitted back by the reconnaissance company's drone.
At this time, the Blue Army cluster had detected an unfamiliar radar signal source near the camp, and the images were projected back through long-altitude drones.
The first battalion can vaguely see that all members of the Blue Army camp have rioted.
Countless Blue Army soldiers poured out of the camp and scattered around to find the location of the strange signal source.
Investigation is also a very dangerous job.
The Warrior reconnaissance vehicle on the First Battalion's side suffered interference from the Blue Army's technical reconnaissance personnel and the search by the crowd on the ground, so they had to keep changing their positions.
Continuously provide coordinate information to the artillery battery.
Chen Jun just watched calmly, his fingertips clenched and his fists pressed against the conference table.
He was waiting for the artillery battery to calculate all the preparations for long-range shooting.
Finally at 5:58.
The intercom on the table in the temporary command room, and the radio simultaneously transmitted the readiness instructions.
When Chen Jun heard this, his eyes stood up.
Pick up the walkie-talkie: "No need to report, two volleys, fire!!!"
Dong dong dong.
Chen Jun's order has just been issued, the camp There were loud noises outside, nine 11-type 122 self-propelled rocket launchers.
One vehicle can fire 40 rockets in one salvo, and nine vehicles can launch 360 rockets into the air.
In an instant, the sky above the camp was like a fire dragon soaring into the sky, and the firelight illuminated the surrounding area of the camp.
Hundreds of fire dragons roared and flew into the distance.
A battalion of soldiers who had dispersed raised their heads and stared dumbfoundedly at the artillery battery's display, feeling waves of blood boiling throughout their bodies.
This kind of rocket launcher is not firepower that a battalion-level unit can deploy at all, but it released the most brilliant light at this moment.
It’s 6:00 sharp in the morning.
In the public channel of the director's department, the order to start the exercise was announced.
But at this time, the hundreds of fire dragons launched by the first battalion had already flown halfway.
The cadres in the camp even felt their scalps numb, and an indescribable feeling enveloped their whole bodies.
They never thought that the battalion commander would be so decisive. This is three to four hundred rounds of rockets. Not to mention a battalion of the Blue Army, even a brigade may not be able to withstand this kind of firepower.
He Yingtao listened to the movement outside, and a trace of anxiety flashed between his brows.
It's definitely fun to fight like this.
But how should I explain it to my superiors after I feel happy?
The director made a lie and used an excuse to sound an air raid siren in the camp, but this excuse was directly exchanged for hundreds of rockets sent straight to the Blues' home base.
He was worried that the weight of this excuse was not enough.
But Chen Jun obviously did not have this worry. He grabbed the walkie-talkie again and said: "The artillery battery, there is no need to move the original position to load ammunition, prepare for the second round of firing."
As the attacker, all members of the First Battalion, except some cadres, were still in shock and could not recover.
Chen Jun himself didn’t know who he was hitting this time, so he certainly didn’t know.
How big of a trap was created by this shot.
The blue army group on the other side was even more confused.
Xiao Zhao is a senior soldier in the 16th Amphibious Armor Brigade of the 31st Army.
On the night of the 5th, the task assigned to him was to patrol the perimeter of the camp.
The patrol before the start of the exercise is actually not that strict.
But Xiao Zhao was very active. He spent the whole night holding the steel gun, observing the surroundings like a falcon, and strictly executing his tasks.
There is no other reason.
Because Xiao Zhao’s squad leader told him before the exercise.
2016 was designated as the "first year of military reform" by the higher authorities. In 2017, the army will significantly increase its recruitment requirements due to military reform.
Including staying in the team to become a non-commissioned officer, you must have a certain skill or perform very well in the class before you can sign a first-term contract.
From conscript to sergeant.
The 16th Amphibious Armored Brigade of the 31st Army is considered a very good unit. How can a superior soldier in the class meet the very good evaluation standards?
Xiao Zhao didn’t know, but his squad leader gave him the answer. The drill is an opportunity. As long as he performs well in the drill, the company will discover his excellence.
That company can keep him in the team.
This sentence is regarded as a motto by Xiao Zhao. As he is assigned to the blue army this time, he is fighting locally.
Xiao Zhao firmly believes that he can perform very well, even if it is just patrol work, the squad leader has warned him about the rotation time.
But in order to perform and leave a good impression on the squad leader, he endured the sleepiness and carried it alone at the time when he was supposed to be on duty, holding a gun and patrolling the camp area.
Everything was normal for the first half of the night, nothing was wrong.
But late at night, he suddenly found a faint light coming from the distant sky, but the distance was too far and there were no other orders from the brigade.
Xiao Zhao didn’t pay much attention.
When it was almost dawn, Xiao Zhao originally wanted to replace the squad leader and take advantage of the early morning to get some sleep and recuperate his energy.
But before he could run back to the resting area of the class, the alarm suddenly sounded loudly in the camp.
The above instructions also came from the walkie-talkie issued during patrol.
All members of their patrol team were asked to dispatch to expand the search area around the camp because a strange radar signal source was found nearby.
This news made Xiao Zhao very excited.
Although he joined the army not long ago, he has never participated in such exercises as a real-life confrontation.
Because military speeches are not limited to large-scale battles, they often involve many simulations of various subjects.
For example, arms cooperation, finding loopholes in coordination, or experimenting with troop deployment methods, long-range fire coverage intensity, accuracy, etc. These are all drills.
Being truly understood by the outside world, the troops are often drawn in to start a fight. There are very few types of exercises similar to this kind of real-force confrontation. Some are similar to the scale of the National Day military training. In the end, the work ends in an anticlimactic manner. .
As for the reason, there is nothing complicated.
The casualties in actual military confrontation are too great, there are too many uncontrollable factors, and military expenditures cannot support frequent such large-scale confrontations.
General simulation subjects are no less important in the joint system of modern warfare than actual military confrontation.
Because the simulation subject can simulate the most realistic battlefield environment at the minimum cost, and discover possible problems from this environment.
And then correct it.
The number of corrections has been many. On the battlefield of annual military exercises, a comprehensive consideration can still solve many remaining problems.
This is why annual military exercises are particularly important.
Xiao Zhao has never participated in actual military confrontation before. During last year's annual military exercise, he was just assigned to the 16th Brigade. As a private, he could only stay in the camp.
There is no qualification to participate in the war at all.
Now that he heard a suspicious signal source near the camp, Xiao Zhao judged that the Red Army must be up to something.
As a Blue Army soldier, the Red Army is not an enemy in Xiao Zhao’s eyes, but certificates for staying in the team and honors for running.
Under this psychological stimulation.
Xiao Zhao was holding a gun and howling, his eyes were red, looking for traces of the Red Army everywhere. More and more Blue Army soldiers came out of the rear camp.
Xiao Zhao became more and more anxious, fearing that his achievements would be taken away by other comrades, so he searched in an ever-expanding scope.
But time passed bit by bit, and he still gained nothing.
Just when Xiao Zhao felt discouraged, the alarm sounded loudly again in the camp one thousand meters behind him, and the air defense siren sounded instantly.
There was also a roaring sound coming from the intercom.
“Enemy Attack!!!”
"All personnel of each battalion, company and platoon, put down all the work in their hands and get into the trenches, quickly!!!"
Faced with this sudden order, Xiao Zhao himself was confused.
He was at least one kilometer away from the camp. In this situation, no one told him what to do.
In desperation, Xiao Zhao had to find a sunken terrain and squat there.
Then he saw the most spectacular scene since he joined the army.
Fire dragons descended from the sky one after another and plunged into his camp one after another.
Boom, boom, boom.
The ground was shaking, and bursts of dust from the explosions instantly covered the entire camp.
The fire dragon was still flying. In the early morning before dawn, the scene in front of us was like a huge hole opening in the sky, and huge piles of charcoal leaking from the hole.
Fall straight into the camp.
The fire reflected half of the sky red and also shone on Xiao Zhao's face. He looked up blankly at his camp.
I don’t know if the squad leader will be alive.
The explosion did not last long. When all the movement subsided, Xiao Zhao hugged his gun, put his hand on the ground and climbed up, staggering towards the camp.
He looked a little pale, had no experience in participating in actual military confrontations, and had no idea what to do at this time.
Now, promotion to sergeant, staying in the team, and patrolling, none of it matters anymore.
He just wanted to go back and take a look at the squad leader to see if there was any smoke coming from his beloved squad leader's head.
Xiao Zhao obviously underestimated the strength of the 16th Brigade.
The 31st Army Amphibious Armored Brigade has four tank battalions, an amphibious armored infantry battalion, an amphibious self-propelled howitzer battalion, as well as a security reconnaissance company directly under the brigade, an engineer chemical battalion, etc.
The strength is nearly six thousand.
The entire brigade has 124 high-speed amphibious assault vehicles, 31 amphibious infantry fighting vehicles, 6 self-propelled mortars, and 18 122 self-propelled mortars.
With such a large-scale configuration, no matter what, it won't be knocked upside down in one round.
The 16th Blue Army Brigade realized that the artillery fire in the distance had stopped, and two-thirds of the surviving soldiers of the brigade came out of the trenches one after another.
While cursing in various dialects, he began to actively rescue the tank.
As for revenge or something.
They haven't thought about it at the moment.
After all, a range of more than five kilometers is a great test for the 16th Brigade.
They do not have the strength to target targets more than 30 kilometers away, but they can lock the opponent's position based on ballistic radar.
Transmit to Blue Army Command.
Let the command send long-range artillery to avenge them.
On his way back, Xiao Zhao saw chariots rumbling out of his camp.
His originally pale complexion finally regained its rosiness, and his spirit and energy had relaxed a lot, just as he was about to raise his arms and shout.
Unexpectedly, there was another movement in the distant sky.
In the first round of bombing just now, all the early warning devices and radars in the camp were damaged, making it impossible to give early warning at all.
The lack of early warning means that the soldiers in the brigade who rescued the tanks were unable to hide in the trenches in time like they did just now.
When Xiao Zhao heard the noise, he raised his head with difficulty.
Looking at the fire dragon that was exactly the same as before, it roared over again.
He yelled in panic, turned off the safety and fired a warning shot, and at the same time waved his arms and shouted: "Conceal!!!"
"Enemy is attacking, take cover quickly!!!"
Unfortunately, it was too late by this time, and his voice could not be heard by his comrades.
But the sound of rocket launchers attracted the attention of the blue army group. No one expected that such fierce firepower could happen again in such a short period of time.
The entire camp was in complete chaos. Countless soldiers got off their tanks and rushed towards the trenches.
Can people run fast with rockets?
That is obviously nonsense.
In the 16th Brigade camp area, crowds of people gathered, and the command was completely messed up.
Thousands of people ran wildly in various camps, but they could not run faster than the second round of fire dragons.
This is also normal.
They had no early warning device. They only ran when they saw the rockets flying over. The crowd did not take a few steps at all.
The entire camp was once again covered by rockets.
Boom, boom, boom.
Puff, puff, puff.
White smoke billowed out from the bodies of the soldiers one after another in the camp, and their tanks were simultaneously destroyed.
Xiao Zhao couldn’t tell whether he was lucky or unlucky.
I witnessed the bombing of my camp twice in a row, but I also had nothing to do with it twice in a row.
It’s over
This is Xiao Zhao’s voice at the moment.
At the 16th Brigade Headquarters, Brigade Commander Cao Tiande was so angry that the muscles on his face were almost distorted.
He looked at himself, as well as the staff officers, political commissars, and all commanders in the combat command room, with white smoke rising from their bodies.
I didn’t do anything when I came to the battlefield, so I took a nap and the whole brigade was destroyed by bombs.
How can you bear this?
Cao Tiande slapped on the desk with a "pop" sound.
"Damn, that's such a bully. Get me connected to the staff."
"I want to see which army is so rampant."
"This must be done Give me an explanation.”
