Chapter 525 Hu Yiming's Despair! The Last Chance in a Dead End! [Please Subscribe! Please Vote!]

Hey!
Good guy!
During the exercise, Zhao Weihong found that everyone on the 116th Division's side was a familiar face!

But behind this seemingly coincidental event lies an inevitability.

Whether it's Wang Hao or Xu Feng.

They all had dealings with Zhao Weihong, and their lives were changed to varying degrees because of her.

Especially Wang Hao.

Putting aside his almost spiteful behavior back then, Xu Feng is quite capable; otherwise, Zhou Kehu wouldn't have gone to such lengths to get him into the 39th Army.

Even without meeting Zhao Weihong, Xu Feng still had an extremely bright future based on his talent.

In contrast, consider Wang Hao when he first met Zhao Weihong.

Arrogant and domineering. He only knows how to show off his seniority and status in front of new recruits, always putting on a sour face.
If he takes these flaws to the grassroots level for his internship, it's only a matter of time before he clashes with his subordinates.

After several rounds of troop reductions, which of the army's current grassroots companies doesn't have an extremely glorious history? And which one doesn't have veteran sergeants who are like "treasures of the company"?
Wang Hao wanted to show off in front of this old sergeant who was of the same generation as his father. It would be a miracle if he wasn't ambushed in the middle of the night!

If something like that really happens, Wang Hao's military career will be over.

The best outcome would be to transfer back to civilian life and start a new career as a civil servant.

Although he seems to have secured a government job, with Wang Hao's rank of deputy company commander, he can at most become an ordinary staff member, and his future development is predictable.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

This statement applies to all systems.

Fortunately, compared to Sun Li, who has even lost his military officer status, Wang Hao is not entirely beyond redemption.

Although he didn't spend a very long time with Zhao Weihong.

But under Zhao Weihong's influence, he successfully corrected his bad habits and understood what a true soldier and a qualified officer should be like.

During his subsequent internship, Wang Hao, upon hearing that Zhao Weihong was from the 39th Army, directly submitted an application, strongly requesting to intern at the 39th Army.

He happened to arrive at the 190th Brigade and became an ordinary intern under Xu Feng.

At first, the two didn't have much interaction.

He's just an intern; he's not worth Xu Feng's personal attention.

But during an unintentional inspection, Xu Feng looked at Wang Hao's training methods and his demeanor while standing in the command position and felt that it looked somewhat familiar!
It's like I've seen it somewhere before!
Suspicious, Xu Feng went back and retrieved Wang Hao's file.

Your alma mater: National University of Defense Technology?

Upon seeing this, Xu Feng immediately closed Wang Hao's file, summoned him to the brigade headquarters, and his first words were...

Do you know Zhao Weihong?

Wang Hao: "???"

"Chief of Staff, you know the political instructor too?"

Although Wang Hao subconsciously used the title he had used during his time at USTC.

But Xu Feng was still certain that the "instructor" Wang Hao mentioned was Zhao Weihong!
Damn it! This brat is definitely suited to be a political officer!

There's a saying that goes something like this...

When the fellow sees the fellow, tears well up.

These two former prodigal sons, who had both suffered at Zhao Weihong's hands and were ultimately brought back to the right path by Zhao Weihong's influence, immediately talked about Zhao Weihong for the entire night!
Especially after hearing that Wang Hao and Zhao Weihong had a fairly good relationship, Xu Feng made a bold move and transferred Wang Hao to his side. He even took Wang Hao with him when he went to the 116th Division, making him his operations staff officer!

To say that he discovered Wang Hao's strengths and thought he was a talented person would not be entirely accurate.

All I can say is that he trusts Zhao Weihong's judgment! And he trusts even more Zhao Weihong's methods of training people!

Now, Xu Feng is preparing to have Wang Hao go in his place to meet this renowned "living father"!

"Greetings, Deputy Division Commander!"

"Ah."

Chang Dingfang nodded politely and looked at Xu Feng with a questioning look in his eyes.

It is clear.

He didn't understand why Xu Feng would suddenly give him someone else.

Seeing this, Xu Feng immediately understood and smiled, gesturing to Wang Hao.

"Don't just say hello."

"If you want the deputy division commander to take you to meet your old superior, don't you have to introduce yourself properly?"

"Yes!"

Although Chang Dingfang did not recognize Wang Hao, Wang Hao had heard of him long ago.

The famous "Living Father" was brought up by Chang Dingfang. In Wang Hao's mind, Chang Dingfang's image was incredibly lofty!
Even the tone of his voice unconsciously carried a hint of respect and warmth.

"Deputy Division Commander, I came here two years ago after graduating from the University of Science and Technology of China."

"Wait a minute!"

Just like Xu Feng.

The moment Wang Hao introduced himself, Chang Dingfang immediately grasped the information he was most concerned about!

"You graduated from USTC?"

"So, you and that kid Wei Hong are comrades-in-arms!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao smiled slightly, and his back straightened unconsciously.

"In his first year as an instructor, he was in charge of the entire freshman orientation program."

"I was fortunate enough to serve as his deputy."

As for the fact that Wang Hao was Zhao Weihong's class monitor when Zhao Weihong first enrolled, Wang Hao never told anyone about it.

How embarrassing! I'm really too ashamed to mention it!

However, this is enough to warrant the attention of the constant method.

He looked at Wang Hao from head to toe as if he had just seen him, pausing for a moment on the lieutenant rank on Wang Hao's collar before asking with some surprise.

"That's not right!"

"So, does that mean you're equivalent to two whole terms with David Hong?" "Would you be satisfied with having a fresh recruit as your deputy?"

When Chang Dingfang brought up the matter, Wang Hao appeared slightly embarrassed, but quickly shrugged and said very frankly.

"You expect a newly enrolled student to lord it over you? That's impossible!"

"To be honest, I even had a falling out with the instructor!"

"But after witnessing the instructor's abilities firsthand, not only me, but the entire junior year was convinced!"

"Hahaha, good!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Dingfang laughed heartily and patted Wang Hao's arm, his admiration and pride evident in his words.

"Not bad! You've got guts! And you've got brains too!"

"Knowing when to yield to someone more capable than yourself, and even knowing to learn from them, makes you a good candidate for military service!"

"Old Xu, you've come at just the right time!"

"Xiao Wang, come with me. You know Wei Hong better than I do and Lao Xu do now."

"Let's put this together and figure out how to give that brat Wei Hong a big gift so he can get back at you!"

"Yes!"

Unlike the relaxed atmosphere at the 116th Division headquarters, where they were busy with a "family reunion ceremony".

At this moment, Zhao Weihong is staging a deadly whirlwind!
Simply put, it was a retreat, and a desperate retreat at that, requiring them to run on foot through the steel torrent of the 116th Division to send the intelligence back!
Unlike the radio operator who was completely bewildered and assumed the radio was broken.

As a renowned expert in the theory of informationized military construction who has already authored numerous books, Zhao Weihong made an accurate judgment the moment he heard the radio operator describe the "radio malfunction"!

This is not a radio malfunction!
It was electromagnetic interference imposed on them by the attackers!
To be honest, Zhao Weihong was not surprised by electronic jamming, after all, this was a tactic that the US had used in actual combat more than a decade ago, so it was not unusual.

What shocked Zhao Weihong the most was that the 116th Division, which she was once very familiar with, had actually acquired electronic jamming capabilities and had even used them quite skillfully in the exercises!
what's the situation?
He just hasn't been back for the past two years, right?
Why did the 116th Division on the other side suddenly feel so unfamiliar to Zhao Weihong?

According to the radio operator, he only said a few words, and the radio, which was originally unbreakable, started emitting continuous noise.

This proves that the 116th Division has a very strong ability to both capture and interfere with unfamiliar electromagnetic signals.

On the other hand, the radio operators of the Second Company of the Red Army, who served as the bridge between the front line and the command post, were completely unaware that they were being subjected to electromagnetic interference from the attacking side. Their sluggishness was outrageous!

But you can't blame him.

After all, this was the first time that "electromagnetic interference" had been used in a Chinese military exercise.

The most urgent task is to transmit the intelligence that the 116th Division has already deployed and is moving towards the position, and that it also has electromagnetic jamming capabilities, back to the rear as quickly as possible!

If Zhao Weihong were the commander of the 116th Division, he would have seized the opportunity when the 149th Division was unaware that the exercise had officially begun. He would have directly relied on the communication and intelligence advantages generated by electronic jamming to launch a swift and fierce attack, giving the 149th Division no chance to re-establish its command network and striving to win the battle in one fell swoop!

This is a very basic information warfare tactic, and the opposing commander would certainly be able to think of it.

In other words.
If the various reconnaissance squads gathering intelligence in the forward areas had not realized in time the hidden implications of the radio malfunction and the sudden maneuvering of the 116th Division, and had failed to transmit the intelligence back to headquarters.

Then what awaits the 149th Division is a catastrophic disaster!
An unprecedented and devastating defeat!
Thinking of this, Zhao Weihong's heart tightened, and she quickened her pace as she ran through the dense forest.

As for the others who were traveling with him, they were dispersed by Zhao Weihong and retreated to the rear along different routes.

The 116th Division has already begun its operation. However, if they move in groups of several, they will be too conspicuous and easily exposed.

As for whether anyone might get lost, or even be killed or captured by the 116th Division, that's not something Zhao Weihong should be concerned about right now.

He just wanted to get the intelligence back to the rear as soon as possible to save this exercise from a crushing defeat!
Along the way, Zhao Weihong trekked through mountains and rivers, crossing more than ten kilometers of forward extension areas and passing through outposts that appeared calm but were actually heavily guarded.

During the journey, while passing through the outpost, Zhao Weihong wanted to contact the friendly troops who were lying in ambush there to see if their vehicle-mounted radios could circumvent the 116th Division's jamming methods and contact the rear command post, or try to borrow a vehicle to return to the rear more quickly.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Weihong realized that this was a dead end that was impossible to achieve!

It was clear that the 116th Division would not give up its armored advantage.

The troops in the outpost all chose the same approach as Zhao Weihong, focusing their attention on the main roads that could be used by armored vehicles.

This means that if Zhao Weihong wants to contact friendly forces, she must expose herself near the road and hope that the small number of friendly forces lying in wait will take the initiative to contact her.

Because Zhao Weihong had no idea where the friendly troops in the outpost were lying in ambush, he had no choice but to resort to this extremely passive method.

Meanwhile, the armored forces of the 116th Division were still advancing rapidly and fiercely, and it was uncertain when they would catch up with Zhao Weihong or engage in battle with the troops in the outpost!
After weighing the options, Zhao Weihong ultimately abandoned this very passive plan and chose to continue crossing the outpost and return to the first main battle line, which was farther away but where the troops were more concentrated!

Shortly after Zhao Weihong made up her mind, a violent explosion and continuous gunfire suddenly rang out from not far behind, interspersed with the roar of anti-tank guns and rocket launchers, completely opening the prelude to this exercise!

This is actually good news.

Because Zhao Weihong didn't have to worry about the troops in the rear being caught off guard by the 116th Division.

Such a large commotion is enough to put them into combat readiness, even if the various units have lost contact with each other!
While silently hoping that someone else could relay the information back faster, Zhao Weihong kept walking, trying to use her strong abilities to cross the endless mountain forest in front of her!

"Company commander! Company commander!"

"Platoon leader! The platoon leader is back!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yiming, who was pacing back and forth in the command post with a frown, immediately rushed out of the tent and looked at Zhao Weihong, who was panting heavily and looked as if she had been pulled out of the water!

"Old Zhao, what's the situation at the outpost? Has fighting broken out already?"

"I'm trying to get in touch with the battalion headquarters to confirm the situation, but I can't get through at all. The radio is just full of static!"

"I'm so anxious to contact you, it's the same thing!"

At this point, Hu Yiming hesitated for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice and tentatively asked Zhao Weihong.

"Old Zhao, I haven't dared to make a fuss, for fear of affecting morale."

"You're an expert in this area, so can you assess whether this is indeed an electromagnetic interference tactic used by the Red Army?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Weihong took a deep breath, her last glimmer of hope vanishing, and then nodded heavily.

In an instant, Hu Yiming felt dizzy and his face showed a panic that he could not hide!

Unlike ordinary soldiers.

Hu Yiming, who also studied at a military academy, was very clear about the concept of electronic jamming, and even more so about the power of electronic jamming in conventional warfare!

Guan Jiwu's meticulously constructed, seemingly impregnable defensive position has actually been "divided" by the 116th Division.

Once the vanguard of the 116th Division breaks through some obstacles in the outpost, they can immediately encircle and annihilate all units of the 149th Division!
At this moment.

After participating in numerous exercises, Hu Yiming, who considered himself quite capable of leading troops in combat, suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness!
Seeing Hu Yiming looking completely lost, Zhao Weihong, who had traveled a long way, took a step forward with some difficulty, grabbed Hu Yiming's arm tightly, and said with great determination despite her heavy breathing.
"Company Commander"

"We...we still have a chance!"
