Chapter 529 Miracle, only one color
Time passes day by day.
By the morning of April 6, the Joint Military Exercise Directorate issued preset requirements for the exercise.
The requirements document states that in order to test the actual combat capabilities of the large-scale mechanical corps of both sides, this exercise will focus on attack and defense around the river area in the middle of Chebarku.
Air combat can only be carried out under limited conditions.
With the preset conditions issued.
The military airports, oil depots, urban buildings and other areas of the Chebarku training base all gathered in areas where operations were needed.
Domestically, several Y-20 aircraft took off to transport war supplies and were sent to Chebarku.
There are also several large airports here in Damao, with dozens of Il-76 large transport aircraft roaring and flying into the sky.
The final preparations before the war began.
The confrontation in the strategic military exercise was a higher level of mobilization. Chen Jun had no way to participate. He could only wait for the arrival of the main forces of the two armies.
now.
The temporary combat room of the 179th Brigade.
After Chen Jun received the notification of the combat area from the director, he immediately summoned the members of the staff team, political commissar, and logistics to gather together.
Hanging the map drawn a few days ago on the conference board, Chen Jun looked at several cadres with a solemn expression.
"Comrades, you should all know the announcement from the director's department. We and the enemy's 169th Brigade will start a real-force confrontation in the A17 area."
Chen Jun said, turning on the infrared spotlight in his hand and enclosing an area.
"The A17 area covers an area of 160 square kilometers and spans both river banks. There are four bridges in it, including baggage warehouses and oil warehouses."
"It can be seen that the actual confrontation required by the directors of both sides is a relatively fair, but extremely intense battle."
Regarding Chen Jun's analysis, all the cadres present nodded, and no one expressed any different opinions.
Because it's obvious.
The two armies were trapped in such a small area, and after adding in the area occupied by rivers, warehouses, and bridges, the space left for both sides to fight was already very narrow.
When talking about 160 square kilometers, many people may not have an intuitive concept. If you convert it, it is a large square of 16 kilometers by 16 kilometers.
It sounds huge, but in heavily armed operations, clusters often open a front line of more than ten kilometers. Under normal circumstances, this distance is already very crowded for more than 10,000 people to use in combat.
The most terrifying thing about a war is that the tactical intentions are exposed, especially when the two sides are equally matched in strength. If the tactical intentions are exposed, it means that the troops are deployed undefended right under the enemy's nose.
This is very scary.
Because the enemy can adjust its firepower according to your deployment at any time.
Chen Jun said it was an intense battle, and that was true. This place with a big butt is both a warehouse and a town. Which area is high and which is low.
Both sides know everything.
What kind of strategic deployment is this? If there is a slight disturbance, the commanders of both sides can immediately detect the other side's intention to mobilize firepower as long as they are not stupid.
It is indeed considered relatively fair.
After all, put aside the commander's ability, the combat strength of the troops, and the differences in equipment.
In terms of the right time, place and people, the two sides are almost the same and there is not much difference.
Throughout the meeting, no one said a word and everyone felt the pressure.
Joint military exercises are not divided into large areas. This may be due to the fact that there are too many people paying attention to this confrontation.
The eyes of all armies are focused here.
The larger the division of the field, the more combat weaknesses, or strengths, will be exposed on both sides. Therefore, intense combat is arranged to infinitely shorten the initial preparation time.
Only in this way can we ensure that no more secrets are revealed.
No one spoke.
Chen Jun turned off the infrared light in his hand, then cleared his throat and said: "Okay, now our 179th Brigade has arrived at the Maozi border and is expected to arrive here in the middle of the night."
"As for the enemy's 169th Brigade, it was probably around this time. After the strategic military exercise, there was a military parade where the troops from both sides gathered."
"The result of the military parade has nothing to do with us, but it has a lot to do with us to seize the A17 area."
When the officers on site heard what Chen Jun said, the hairs on their bodies all trembled and stood up, and the atmosphere in the entire command headquarters became somewhat suffocating.
In other words, it was faintly boiling with enthusiasm.
Because everyone felt that Chen Jun was right. Although the director's department did not notify both sides that the battle would begin as soon as the troops from both sides arrived tonight, it would depend on the arrangements in the combat zone.
Transport planes continued to deliver war supplies.
It is not difficult to guess that there is a high probability that the above will not give them a chance to rest and reorganize.
Even if they don't fire, they must arrange for troops to maneuver to the combat area to see who can seize the favorable terrain first.
You know, the A17 area is not a bare and empty area. There are bridges, oil depots, baggage warehouses, and the terrain of a town.
If any force arrives late and all chokepoints are contained, subsequent attacks will be very difficult.
I noticed that the cadres present sat upright unconsciously, and even the political commissar Xu Wensheng on the side had a solemn expression.
Chen Jun waved his hand: "Okay, these are all my speculations. Next, comrades need to calculate the firepower deployment of various battlefields based on the A17 area as soon as possible, and how to arrange it."
"Don't worry about the enemy's deployment, just calculate according to the deployment of our highest firepower, and prepare for the worst."
"Also, in recent years, many people think that Lao Maozi's conventional military power has declined, and other aspects are not worth mentioning except for large-scale weapons."
"We cannot have this kind of thinking. We must always remember that they are the real masters of the armored torrent and steel groupism."
"If we talk about famous armor commanding generals, their numbers are not inferior to Hans. They were once a super empire, with their power radiating to half of the Blue Star."
"In this battle, I don't want to say that we can only win but not lose, because those are empty words. What I want is for comrades to go all out."
"Tomorrow, troops from all parties will arrive, and we will be ready to kill the enemy."
"Comrades, are you ready?"
"Always ready!! Always ready!!!"
In the temporary meeting room, bursts of loud shouts attracted the peeping glances of many old men on duty outside.
But no one cares anymore.
The exercise area has been divided, and now it is time for the 179th Brigade Staff Group to exert its strength.
People in the military camp usually like to say that blind staff and bad officers are all problems.
In fact, except for some staff members who have just graduated and have learned insufficient combat skills.
By the time they reach the regiment or brigade level, the staff members are already very powerful.
On the battlefield, the tactical arrangements for deception and anti-fraud are inseparable from the staff group, including firepower arrangements, combat arrangements, and how to fight the battle. These are not all the work of the commander alone.
In many classic cases, the staff team calculated that there was a problem with the enemy's battlefield strength based on the enemy's military establishment, discovered the hidden dangers in time, and then took advantage of the situation.
What we usually call the philosophy of war is roughly what it means.
After briefly conveying the arrangements of the director's department, Chen Jun took Li Wujie with him, and the two of them went to the A17 combat area together.
Familiarize yourself with the terrain and make final battle arrangements.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
At six o'clock in the morning on April 7th. Inside the Chebarku Contract Training Base, a strong wind blew up. Different from the heat during the day, in this place where birds don't poop, even in April, the early morning wind was still biting.
But on the military field of Nuo University, it was not as lonely as before.
The surrounding street lights, searchlights, and spotlights were all turned on.
Bright as day.
On the parade stage at the school ground, Li Hongtao and the commander-in-chief of the Maozi Central Military Region sat together in the command position.
Chen Jun, Xu Wensheng, Li Hongtao's assistant Ma Jianbang and others stood behind the leaders and looked towards the outside of the school grounds.
On the left, the rumble of chariots almost drowned out the roar of the wind. One after another, chariots with bright red national flags were flying, billowing smoke.
The convoy stretched for several kilometers and sped forward.
That was the figure of 6,287 soldiers of the 179th Brigade rushing to Chebarku.
The chariot team has not yet arrived, but the oncoming pressure is already felt close to the face. The roar of the chariots and the hunting sound of the red flag flying in the wind seem to be gathered together.
Chen Jun stood on the military platform. He cast his eyes in the direction of the 179th Brigade, watching countless car lights in the distance penetrate the morning fog and roar towards them.
To say that I wasn’t excited inside would be a lie.
In a place like Chebarku, where no one cares, you can only live in a wooden house for any kind of accommodation. A strange place, a strange country, continuously preparing for war, busy day and night, aren't you just waiting for this moment?
At the scene, the officers who were on the same side as Chen Jun all stared slightly and clenched their fists.
Those who have not experienced the hardships will not understand when a great country struggles to reborn from the ashes of dilapidated and devastated ruins.
In everyone's mind, miracles have only one color, and that is the red of hunting in the wind.
finally.
In the midst of everyone's attention, the troops of the Dragon Kingdom appeared.
One after another, the 179th Brigade's tanks were invincible and parked steadily in a large open space outside the school grounds.
Thirty helicopters rumbled down.
There was no sound of any relevant instructions at the scene. The neatly parked tanks all turned off and the hatches opened.
Group after group of soldiers wearing steel helmets, holding steel guns, wearing green military uniforms and with red star flags embroidered on their chests began to line up.
Since the school military field was a bit far away from where the troops were stationed, everyone on the stage could only see long dragons gathering together, quickly and orderly converging into a giant dragon formation.
Of the more than 6,000 officers and soldiers, no one was left behind, and no one was slow in their movements.
From arrival to completion of the queue, it took less than twenty minutes.
But for these twenty minutes, the 179th Brigade trained for a full month.
The cold wind was biting, and after the troops were fully equipped, one of the figures faced the lights and the eyes of many spectators present, following a standard formation posture.
They all ran to the school soldiers' platform.
Stand at attention and salute: "Comrade Commander, the 179th Brigade of the 71st Army in the Eastern Theater Command has been reorganized. All 6,287 people in the brigade have arrived. Officer Feng Qiuhu, please give instructions!!"
"Wait!!"
"Yes!!"
After receiving Li Hongtao's order, Feng Qiuhu saluted again, turned around, clenched his fists, and ran to stand on the side of the school soldiers' platform.
The soldiers participating in the battle in the distance were like spears stuck in the ground, not affected by the strong wind at all.
The fighting spirit was so strong that some of the Maozi officers present looked at each other, because in the eyes of some of their officers, this time the opponent would be a bit tricky.
But it will never be too powerful.
Even if there are millions of active military personnel on paper, they also have all kinds of advanced weapons.
But they have an inevitable weakness.
That is, they have not participated in actual combat for ten years. No matter where they are placed and how they use their swords, this kind of troops should not be too sharp.
But what they saw in front of them was very different from what they imagined.
Those who can watch the battle at the scene are undoubtedly the ones leading the troops. They can judge whether the overall combat effectiveness of the troops is strong or weak based on some formations alone.
Obviously, their opponent this time was somewhat beyond their expectations.
The most important thing is.
The first strategic competition in the joint military exercise focuses on the ability to transport troops from the rear to the front.
The other party crosses the national border and has a long journey, without the support of railway transportation at all.
Just like that, he arrived earlier than his own troops participating in the war?
Some officers on the campus military field turned around and whispered, but Li Hongtao was smiling, as if he didn't notice the comments of others.
Sitting on the stage, staring at the soldiers of the 179th Brigade, his expression was full of pride.
Next to Li Hongtao, the commander-in-chief of the Central Military Region, Anton Alverde, was sitting, but his expression was not very good.
There was even a hint of bitterness in the smile.
During the military exercise between the two sides, only one side arrived first, which made the representatives of Da Mao present look extremely ugly.
Fortunately, Mao's army was not too late.
About half an hour later, there was finally movement from the right side of the school military field.
The human voice and the T90m mechanical motor roared loudly.
The mobile queue of the 169th Brigade also stretched several kilometers in length and set off to the school military field.
Compared with the arrival of the 179th Brigade just now, their momentum here is much greater.
There were several officers who should be the leaders, shouting and lining up in the strong wind. It must be said that the 169th Brigade, as the Young Guards Division back then, is now the mainstay of the Central Military Region.
The combat awareness in all aspects is still very good.
Although the whole brigade arrived late, the time to complete the team was shorter than that of the 179th Brigade, only taking more than ten minutes.
The entire brigade has already lined up according to the officer's command.
The cold wind is still there! !
The so-called military parade is just to review the spirit of both sides, after all the 169th Brigade arrives.
Anton Alverde, Maozi’s representative, delivered a speech and talked a lot.
Chen Jun stood at the back. He was not interested in these speeches. He just said that some joint military exercises provide an important platform for mutual trust and cooperation among countries.
We need everyone to work together to develop together and face new threats and challenges in the future.
Promote the maintenance of regional peace and stability.
After Anton's introduction, Li Hongtao, Ma Jianbang and others also came on stage one after another.
Finally, Mao Zi's military band played military music, and representatives from various countries arranged for people to participate in the majestic procession.
The entire 179th Brigade was dispatched, showing the style of a great nation.
The opening ceremony was very lively and spectacular, but Chen Jun was not interested in any of this.
He was waiting for the actual battle to begin after the ceremony.
Because the previous processes basically have nothing to do with him, and only later will he have the opportunity to play.
