From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Andrei really went to great lengths and left no room for compromise in order to save face for the Russian army.

Knowing that the Seventh Steel Battalion had the ability to intercept communications, in order not to give the Seventh Steel Battalion any leverage, he specifically asked Captain Sergei to switch to satellite phones for communication.

Satellite phones transmit signals differently, so there's no need to worry about them being intercepted or monitored by the Seventh Battalion.

Although satellite communication is very expensive these days, and the equipment used is bulky, its adoption rate is very low, even in the military.

However, in order to ensure communications for this exercise, the Russian military still managed to bring over three sets of equipment.

They were placed at the Red Army Command Post, the Blue Army Command Post, and the Director's Communications Center, respectively.

Captain Sergei knew how important this was, so he jogged to the communications center, activated the satellite phone, and made a call to the satellite phone located at the Blue Army command post.

Unlike before when they contacted the Blue Army by radio, they were afraid to speak directly for fear of being intercepted and monitored by the Steel Seventh Battalion.

It was merely an indication that something had happened on the right flank of the Blues.

This time, when Captain Sergei made the phone call, he spoke frankly and openly, revealing everything that the Seventh Steel Battalion had done and was planning to do.

The operators in charge of the satellite phones were dumbfounded.

I can't believe something so big happened to the Blue Team, and the Blue Team command has no news at all.

Upon hearing that the Seventh Steel Battalion was now advancing towards the Blue Army's rear, the operator felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and with a shiver, he came back to his senses.

He then ran out as fast as he could and reported to Dmitry at the command post.

He even raised his voice when he mentioned that the 7th Steel Battalion had entered the Blue Army's rear and was most likely searching for the Blue Army's command post, and might attack at any time.

"What???"

Dmitri jumped up, his voice rising eight octaves in pitch.

They were even so frightened that their voices changed!

The reason Dmitry's reaction was stronger was that he was the person directly involved, and he was the first to be affected if something happened, so he was naturally more nervous and agitated.

The people in the directing department were just spectators, and the level of involvement between the two sides was completely different.

If the information hadn't come from the director's office, it would have been secretly arranged by General Andrei.

Dmitry simply couldn't believe that a single Chinese combined arms battalion could wipe out his entire right flank, wiping out all his infantry, tanks, and artillery in one fell swoop.

The scariest thing is...

The Seventh Steel Company wiped out so many Blue Army troops, yet not a single word came out.

This absolute, dimensionally inferior combat power was hard for Dmitry to accept.

But now the Blue Army on the right flank has lost contact with everyone, and General Andrei from the directing staff personally sent someone to notify them, which is enough to prove that these things are true.

What's done is done, there's no going back.

Dmitry could only take remedial measures as quickly as possible to minimize the losses given the current situation.

At the very least, we cannot allow the Chinese troops to succeed again. Otherwise, in the strategic confrontation exercises organized by the Russian army, not only will most of the Blue Army's troops be wiped out by the Chinese troops, but even the Blue Army's command post will be completely destroyed by the Russian army.

Let this exercise become a laughing stock for the Russian army and a stepping stone for the Chinese army to gain international fame.

However, Dmitri wanted to salvage the situation, but after racking his brains, he found himself at a loss for what to do.

Because there are no more soldiers available.

The left flank is in the midst of a fierce battle, with the red and blue forces completely intertwined and unable to separate. The blue army simply cannot spare any men to intercept the Seventh Steel Battalion.

If forced, they could spare one or two companies, but that small force wouldn't be of much use.

As a standard reinforced battalion, even a normal unit, the 7th Steel Battalion would require at least one battalion from the Blue Army to deal with it.

Not to mention that the Seventh Steel Battalion was "abnormal" in the first place.

The left-wing artillery battalion was destroyed with zero casualties, the Blue Army's position was breached and the supply depot was taken out in half an hour, and more than a dozen Blue Army companies on the right flank were wiped out in one night...

With these outrageous and astonishing battle records, who would dare say that the Steel Seventh Battalion is a normal battalion?

Since the Blue Army is in a terrible situation and cannot spare enough troops to intercept the Steel Seventh Battalion, which has already penetrated into the Blue Army's rear.

What now?
What else can I do?
Dmitri, whose face was so gloomy it seemed to drip black water, buried himself in thought for several minutes before finally having to make the worst-case scenario plan.

That means the Blue Army command post should be moved immediately, and the entire force should be moved to the left flank front where the fighting is taking place.

This is not finished.

Once the command post arrives at the left flank front, the Blue Army will have to find a way to expose itself to the main Red Army force, essentially delivering itself into the mouth of the main Red Army force so that the main Red Army force can destroy the Blue Army command post.

Once the main force of the Red Army has swallowed up the Blue Army's command post, all the Blue Army units fighting on the front lines will then feign a state of chaos and lack of command, and be easily wiped out by the main force of the Red Army.

This way.

Nearly half of the Blue Army's combat troops and command post were wiped out by the main force of the Red Army, essentially "dying" at the hands of their own people.

This sounds ridiculous, but it's actually a last resort.

He died at the hands of his own people.

It's better than dying at the hands of foreigners.

Dmitry believes that after this series of actions, even if the Blues still suffer a crushing defeat, the outside world will not be able to criticize or ridicule the Russian army for its incompetence.

At most, they would praise the Chinese troops for their strong combat capabilities.

Although the exercise ended in this way, it was completely contrary to the original exercise plan.

But this was the best Dmitry could think of to preserve the dignity of the Russian army under the current circumstances.

none of them!

After all, the Blues still have nearly half their troops left, and Dmitry cannot possibly surrender now and become a disciple of France in Europe.

If the army surrendered with half its troops remaining, it would also become a joke.

Having proven itself in World War II, the Soviet Union, Germany's top disciple, fought tooth and nail against Germany with its own lives. How could it so easily announce its surrender?

If they don't surrender voluntarily, the only option is to give their heads to their own people.

After Dmitri devised this unique solution, he raced against time to make arrangements, and even requested that the process be streamlined to further accelerate the process.

In other words, all the supplies were discarded and left here to be dealt with after the exercise.

Even if the Chinese 7th Steel Battalion found this place, they wouldn't be too bothered by the supplies scattered all over the ground, since this was just an exercise, not a real battle.

Everyone in the command center got into the vehicles and left with only the essential and urgently needed items.

This allows for the fastest possible evacuation.

Anyway, the Blue Army command went to the front line not to fight against the main force of the Red Army, but specifically to deliver heads to the main force of the Red Army.

Since they're going there specifically to get themselves killed, there's no need to bring any supplies.

Otherwise, if the evacuation were carried out in a normal manner, the dismantling and loading of various supplies, equipment, tents, etc., would take at least half a day to complete in such a large command center.

At this critical juncture, would Dmitry dare to wait here for even half a day? He wouldn't!
The fighting power of the Chinese troops was so abnormal that it was beyond Dmitry's comprehension. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help but feel fear towards the Chinese troops.

Dmitri couldn't understand why this was happening either, but he just couldn't control his inner thoughts.

The thought that the Chinese troops consisted of only one battalion, and that they appeared and disappeared mysteriously in every battle, like ghosts, sent shivers down his spine.

It's like how Chinese people get scared whenever they hear the word "ghost."

He has only one thought right now—

Run as fast as you can.

Under Dmitry's command, most of the Blue Army command was completely bewildered, not knowing what their commander was thinking.

The exercise was going well, but suddenly the situation changed drastically, and they hurriedly withdrew.

However, since it was the commander-in-chief who issued the order, military orders were absolute and could not be questioned. Even if someone had doubts, they could only obediently carry them out.

Only the high-ranking officers at the regimental level in the command headquarters all sought out Dmitry for questioning.

Given their status and position, they are qualified to ask questions.

The result was hilarious.

They rushed over angrily, and when Dmitri told them what had happened, they were even more frightened than Dmitri himself.

The sheer fighting power of a single Chinese battalion completely overturned their understanding.

They were really frightened.

No one dared to say no anymore, and they even became more eager than Dmitri.

Because they all knew very well how serious the situation was.

If a single battalion of the Chinese forces were to break through their entire three-regiment Blue Army formation, their military careers would likely be over.

As soon as this combat exercise ends, they'll all have to take off their clothes and get out.

So, in order to keep their uniforms, which are related to their own vital interests, these Blue Army leaders were more eager than anyone else, wishing they could call a helicopter immediately.

Rushing to get yourself killed at top speed sounds ridiculous, but it's actually happening right now.

Unfortunately, the Blue Team didn't have helicopters.

Their enemy, the Seventh Steel Battalion, was indeed present.

Unfortunately, the Blue Army's combat strength was too weak, so the Army Aviation Company, which was the absolute trump card of the Steel Seventh Battalion, had no chance or opportunity to appear.

This resulted in the Army Aviation Company being the only one so frustrated that it was practically spitting blood, while the other companies in the Steel Seventh Battalion were having a blast killing each other.

After a long journey of several thousand kilometers, and with the pilot's backside nearly worn out from the train ride, this multinational exercise finally began.

The results of it?
He was left to bask in the sun in the back the whole time, without even a chance to make a move.

They didn't even have the opportunity to launch an attack or participate in the battle. Because they were deployed far behind the Red Army's lines, they were too far from the front lines to even hear the sounds of gunfire from the front.

This exercise was truly a waste of time!
Now, the entire Army Aviation Corps is in a state of panic, having contacted the battalion headquarters at least ten times to request deployment, but Chen Jun has ruthlessly suppressed all requests.

Unless absolutely necessary, Chen Jun did not want to reveal all of the Seventh Steel Battalion's secrets.

Therefore, the Army Aviation Company has never been put into service.

From Chen Jun's perspective, there's no problem, but the Army Aviation Corps and the others are unwilling to accept it.

For the first time in history, they went abroad to participate in an exercise. The young soldiers were eager for merit. With the combat exercise about to end, the army aviation company was so anxious that they were scratching their heads.

Unfortunately, there were no orders from above, so there was no use in being anxious.

We can only wait patiently!
……

The Blue Army command was hastily retreating, and the "culprit" that scared them into abandoning their weapons and fleeing was now wreaking havoc in the rear.

The special operations platoon, tank company, and armored infantry company were divided into four parts, causing chaos in the rear.

The few Blue Army soldiers who went out on missions were sometimes dealt with directly by the scouts of the Special Reconnaissance Company.

With the tacit cooperation of all the troops in the Steel Seventh Company, they pushed all the way through the rear of the Blue Army, and the scene was like a locust swarm passing through, and all the Blue Army troops were wiped out.

Not a single one of them will be left alive.

This kind of one-sided, brutal "massacre" is actually quite meaningless.

But it was really awesome.

Especially when he saw the Russians being "besieged" and the troops of the 7th Steel Battalion, his eyes were full of shock, like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

The soldiers of the Seventh Steel Battalion were especially thrilled.

The fact that the enemy was a foreigner added to the experience for the soldiers of the Steel Seventh Company, a feeling that was completely different from any domestic exercise.

The act of killing one's own people during domestic exercises is purely for the purpose of winning the exercise.

Taking down foreigners in overseas exercises is a great achievement.

The 7th Steel Battalion advanced rapidly from the right flank, but even at such a speed, it couldn't finish pushing through in a short time.

The Red Army's rear area covered too large a region, and there were too many miscellaneous and disorganized logistics units.

They're scattered here and there, not clustered together, so cleaning them up is actually quite a hassle.

Therefore, even though the 7th Steel Battalion moved so fast, the Blue Army command received secret information from within and quickly transferred with minimal troops.

The Seventh Steel Battalion was still nearly ten kilometers away from the nearest combat unit.

Because the special reconnaissance company's scouts were spread throughout the rear, such a large-scale operation by the Blue Army command could not escape their notice and was promptly discovered by the scouts.

Therefore, the news quickly reached the Seventh Steel Battalion.

"Oh ho, the Blue Army command is running away? Did they get wind of it? That shouldn't be the case. I arranged everything so meticulously, and all the radios were destroyed. Even if those Blue Army soldiers were unscrupulous, they wouldn't be able to send any messages."

When Chen Jun received the news, his first reaction was surprise; he felt that this matter was unreasonable.

But with his rich experience, he quickly guessed it.

"Damn it, it must be the directing department. These Russians will stop at nothing to save face, they don't even care about the exercise rules?"

Chen Jun deduced that the director's department had leaked the information, and said in a very unhappy tone, "I was originally going to leave you guys some leeway, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful."

Since you broke the rules first, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Originally, Chen Jun did not want to go too far and did not necessarily have to destroy the Blue Army command. His primary goal was to get three thousand kills.

But since the Russian army broke the rules first, Chen's army was no longer willing to give them face.

They must be taught a harsh lesson.

Beat those Russians until they're crying for their parents, they won't even recognize their own mothers. (End of Chapter)
