Chapter 527 An Uncounterable Method? Zhao Weihong's Brilliant Stroke! [Please Subscribe! Please Vote!]

Although Southeast Asia is not a prominent region on the international stage.

However, the military strength of the countries within it should not be underestimated, and the weapons and equipment are a mixed bag, a chaotic mess.

From the Type 81 rifle, which is mistaken by many as an export version of the AK-74, to all kinds of top-notch equipment in the world today, and even countries that possess aircraft carriers!

Although it is the world's smallest aircraft carrier, its tonnage is so small that it can be considered a "disgrace to aircraft carriers."

But an aircraft carrier is still just an aircraft carrier; Yan Kingdom wants one but doesn't have one yet!
In addition, the complex web of various forces and their open and covert struggles have turned this place into a "breeding ground" for the military world, where "a chaotic battle of weapons from all over the world" often takes place. Major military powers are also happy to export new equipment that has not yet been deployed to this place in order to collect valuable combat data.

In terms of the average quality of its commanders, it ranks among the top in the world, and its exchanges and learning with foreign countries have never stopped.

It is precisely for this reason that they were so shocked and amazed by Zhao Weihong's "stroke of genius"!

Ever since the United States first proposed the concept of "information warfare" and applied it to actual combat.

Electronic warfare has become a key research area for military forces worldwide.

Electromagnetic interference and counter-interference, in particular, have become a major problem that has troubled countless experts.

Leaving aside countermeasures based on the electromagnetic field, after a long period of research, countries around the world have discovered that metal cavities have a good shielding effect on external electromagnetic fields, which can protect electronic equipment and enable it to work normally in complex electromagnetic environments.

However, this only achieves anti-interference on the "electronic device" itself.

Electronic devices like radios, which need to actively send and receive signals, cannot be countered using this principle. Furthermore, the countermeasures are extremely primitive, such as the "channel switching" method tried by the Red Second Company's communications officers. If the enemy is even slightly prepared, this method will not work.

In fact, even today...

No radio station in the world can guarantee stable operation in complex electromagnetic environments. Even the "frequency-hopping shortwave radio," which is recognized as having the strongest anti-interference capability, is powerless against the "full-band suppression" of the powerful Lida Zhuanfei.

However, frequency hopping shortwave technology has provided many researchers with a possible direction.

Many people firmly believe that as long as they continue to delve deeper into this field, they will eventually be able to develop a stable technical means to resist electronic interference.

But what did Zhao Weihong do?

Outdated equipment makes it difficult to counter interference?
Simple, then let's not bother arguing with them in the field of electromagnetics!
Get straight to the field telephone!
This thing may be outdated and troublesome, but it's still better than running around on foot to deliver messages!

Some observers even felt that the 149th Division's military telephones used some kind of advanced anti-jamming technology, and immediately found the reception staff who were communicating with them to express their sincere feelings.

"Do you intend to sell this new communication equipment to other companies?"

"Don't worry! Price is not a problem!"

New communication equipment?

The colonel, who was in charge of military diplomacy, looked at the old-fashioned field telephone displayed on the screen with a complicated expression. He remained silent for a long time before finally speaking against his conscience.

"I'm sorry, this is not something I can decide."

"We have only recently deployed this communication equipment, and it is currently in the experimental stage."

"To my knowledge, there are currently no plans to sell this device to the public."

The colonel was telling the truth; this thing was indeed not on Yan's weapons and equipment export list.

Even if Yan wanted to sell a broken field telephone, there would have to be someone willing to buy it!

If the 149th Division hadn't been a motorized unit, we might not have been able to find so many field telephones today!
Wired communications troops have always been a traditional branch of the Yan Kingdom's army, and many of them are model units with honorary titles.

However, with the popularization and development of wireless communication, wired communications troops have gradually lost their once glorious status, and many regimental-level units have even been reduced to a single platoon of wired communications troops.

The reason for this is that the rapid development of new equipment and radios has replaced wired communications in the army.

Vehicles such as tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are equipped with wireless communication devices, and the command posts of mechanized troops have changed from simple field tents to "command vehicles" that can move with the troops at any time.

In this context, wired communication methods, which are cumbersome to set up and inconvenient to move, naturally became relics of the past. Even motorized infantry divisions like the 149th Division preferred to use wireless communication methods.

Without him.

This thing is fucking convenient!

In addition, Guan Jiwu's personal command style tends to favor "one-to-many" communication, so wired communication with its smaller capacity is naturally less favored by the 149th Division. If it weren't for regulations, these field telephones that usually gather dust in the warehouse might not have been brought to the Dingshan base.

However, this was under the circumstances where all radio stations were out of service and the command post was completely cut off from the front lines.

The old-fashioned field telephone, long neglected, has once again shone brightly on the battlefield thanks to the discovery of Zhao Weihong, a "talent scout"!
"All right."

Hearing the colonel say this, the observer showed some regret, but his resolve to purchase this "new type of communication equipment" only grew stronger.

Didn't you hear people say there are no plans to export this stuff?
It must be a great thing that Yan has developed in the last two years.

Can’t be wrong!
Seeing his reluctant expression, the colonel tried his best to control the urge to roll his eyes. Just as he was about to lead him back to his seat, he saw his expression suddenly freeze, and his right thumb subconsciously pressed down on the earphone on his head, as if someone had just given him some instructions.

A moment later, the colonel led the observer back to his seat to continue watching the exercise unfold.

At this moment, the military observers from Southeast Asia were still having a heated discussion about the electronic jamming methods demonstrated by the 116th Division and Zhao Weihong's countermeasures. When the colonel came over, some of them immediately asked him about the technical details, but the colonel dismissed them with the words "military secret, no comment".

These observers still seem a bit unclear about their own roles.

Do you really think Yan Kingdom invited them here just to watch a show?

If it weren't for the unrest in Southeast Asia in recent years, coupled with Yan's determination to make that chaotic land, which was constantly brewing evil, a thing of the past.

Are these military observers coming to Yan to observe military exercises?
Go dream!

I finally managed to break free from their entanglement.

The colonel returned to the conference room at the end of the audience seats without making a sound. He pushed open the door and saw dozens of cadres of different ranks sitting solemnly in their seats, including many cadres with wheat ears.

It is clear.

This is the real command center for this exercise!
At the end of the conference room, a huge screen was hanging, divided into four sections, broadcasting live the four battlefields where the exercise was most intense.

On the other side of the conference room, there was also a small screen displaying an elderly figure that no one in the conference room dared to look directly at.

That's right.

It was Deputy Chief Wei!

This exercise is of such great importance, how could Deputy Commander Wei not pay attention to it!
However, due to the presence of military observers from other countries, Deputy Commander Wei was unable to attend in person and could only participate online via video conference. The reason for his inconvenience was none other than the so-called "principle of diplomatic reciprocity."

As the saying goes, "no matter is too small when it comes to foreign affairs." When dealing with foreign personnel, Yan has a very clear set of procedures and regulations.

The most basic and important rule is "equal status".

Although the Southeast Asian countries that received the invitation all attached great importance to the exercise, they all sent their own prominent military figures.

According to the official Yan state, the lowest-ranking of these military observers was at least a corps commander, equivalent to Zhou Kehu.

Of course, this is just a rank; it doesn't mean they actually have command of a group army.

Even so, their rank was still worlds apart from that of Deputy Chief Wei.

To put it somewhat inappropriately, if Deputy Commander Wei were to personally come to the Dingshan base and watch the exercise with these military observers, it would be giving them far too much credit.

In diplomatic terms, "flattery" usually does not earn respect and goodwill from the other party; instead, it is more likely to provoke contempt and disdain.

This is especially true for these Southeast Asian countries that are not content with being left out.

"Small money!"

"To!"

"Tell the commander what they were talking about just now."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the colonel immediately recounted to Deputy Commander Wei and all the officers present the shock that the military observation group had felt due to Zhao Weihong's countermeasures, and at the end, he did not forget to add a sentence.

"Some of them even think this is a new type of communication equipment that we developed, and they want to purchase it from us."

All cadres: "."

Upon hearing this, even Deputy Chief Wei wore a complex expression of incomprehension. His aged lips trembled slightly, and after a long while, he finally spoke with some difficulty.

"Since they want to buy it, let the comrade in charge of this matter have a good talk with them after the exercise."

"There's no reason not to take advantage of military funds that are offered to us."

"And you, you must closely monitor the development of this exercise!"

"In the trend analysis you submitted before the exercise started, didn't it say that the 149th Division would soon be breached by the 116th Division when the command network collapsed?"

"But what's the result?"

At this point, Deputy Chief Wei suddenly looked at the lower left corner of the live broadcast screen.

There, several figures, led by a leader, were constantly moving and shifting at the front line.

According to the laser generator's statistics, this small team of only four people has already eliminated enemies that outnumbered them by more than ten times.

The attacking troops of the 116th Division naturally noticed the presence of this squad and even requested a fire cover in an attempt to get rid of this annoying fly, but they were unable to do anything about it.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the squad reappeared like ghosts!

Although the faces of the team members were not clearly visible.

But Deputy Commander Wei was certain that Zhao Weihong was in this team.

Faced with Vice Commander Wei's slightly displeased criticism, the cadres in the directing department all lowered their heads in shame and dared not utter a word.

Seeing their expressions, Deputy Chief Wei did not continue to reprimand them, but instead spoke earnestly.

"For us, information technology development is like crossing a river by feeling for stones."

"Our understanding of informationized forces is limited to what the West wants us to know."

"We will never know the intricacies and experience involved until we reach that point."

"I hope that all of you will cherish this opportunity to exercise and not think that just because an informationized force is facing a non-informationized force, you will definitely win."

"We should not only look at the current achievements in information technology development, but more importantly, we should use this exercise to identify the problems that exist in our information technology development!"

"Yes!"

The training ground is the primary battlefront.

Despite its superior equipment and communications, the 116th Division did not achieve a decisive offensive.

On the contrary, after the initial surprise attack achieved some results, the 116th Division quickly became embroiled in a brutal meat grinder, paying a considerable price for every step forward.

Guan Jiwu's defensive setup was truly impeccable.

Whenever the 116th Division finally managed to eliminate a firing point or a small blocking position and attempted to create a gap in the defensive line from there,

Light and heavy firepower would suddenly appear from all sorts of strange places, making the reckless soldiers of the 116th Division feel the despair of being caught in a net!
During the initial observations before the attack, these areas should not have contained any firing positions.

However, the 149th Division always managed to make the 116th Division doubt the intelligence it had detected by suddenly launching gunfire and artillery attacks time and time again!
The most outrageous thing is that the 149th Division even brought out anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery to fight a blocking attack!
These seemingly outdated towed air defense systems caused considerable trouble for the armored forces of the 116th Division!
The Type 96A is alright; after all, it's considered one of the flagship weapons of the Yan army these days, with excellent protection. It can withstand three or four hits from a Type 89 rocket launcher from the front.

But the Type 04 armored vehicle was in a bad situation. The 149th Division knew that its firepower was not good enough to deal with the Type 96A tank, so it directly changed its target and focused on the Type 04 infantry fighting vehicle!

That was truly incredible—it appeared and disappeared in an instant!
The anti-aircraft guns and machine guns laid flat in the dense forests and mountains seem to regard the speeding Type 04 infantry fighting vehicles as airplanes soaring in the sky. As soon as a large number of Type 04 infantry fighting vehicles enter their firing range, they will immediately suffer a saturation attack including the Type 89 rocket launcher!

Without the cover of infantry fighting vehicles, the Type 96A dared not venture too far alone.

The 96A's frontal protection is indeed impressive, but that doesn't mean its side protection is equally impenetrable.

If the side of the vehicle is exposed to the individual anti-tank squad of the 149th Division, a maximum of two Type 89 rocket launchers can take down a rampaging Type 96A.

For a time, the battle reached a stalemate.

Some units abandoned the direct assault by armored forces, instead allowing the armored forces to provide cover and fire support, and letting the infantry dismount and advance on foot, attempting to preserve armored forces in this way and to probe how many hidden firing points the 149th Division's defenses still had!
A very clever tactic that can alleviate the current predicament of the 116th Division in terms of offense to the greatest extent.

But soon, the infantrymen who were trying to attack the 446th Regiment's defensive positions felt a real sense of despair!
Because what they encountered were ghosts that moved like the wind on the battlefield, like an omnipresent nightmare on the front lines.

Zhao Weihong!
