From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 371 Frenzied Kill Stealing

The Blue Army's command post was completely wiped out by the Chinese troops. Even the three regimental commanders of the command post were forcibly taken away, and the hundreds of Blue Army soldiers on the scene did not dare to stop them.

When this news reached the Marine Corps command, it was like a bomb being dropped into a calm lake.

This caused a huge uproar!
All the Russian soldiers present, regardless of whether they were on the red or blue side or in the command post, were shocked by the news and felt that the Russian military had completely lost face.

Originally, the Chinese troops were only intended to play a supporting role, but unexpectedly, they became the absolute protagonists.

Russia's painstakingly conducted exercises became a showcase for China.

What kind of mess is this?!

If life could be lived with regret, every single Russian officer present would undoubtedly raise both hands and feet in opposition to the Chinese troops participating in this exercise.

I tried to get some freebies but ended up losing my underwear instead.

The worst part is that there's nowhere to seek justice.

In contrast to the Russian military officers on the scene who were all furious, Fang Zijian and his group of Chinese military personnel were grinning from ear to ear.

Because I laughed too much and for too long, wrinkles appeared at the corners of my eyes.

The general directorate didn't pay much attention to this part, after all, the scale of this exercise was very large, and 90% of it showcased the strength of the navy and air force.

To put it bluntly, the army is just there to make up the numbers; it's purely to fulfill the configuration requirements for strategic exercises.

The naval exercises went very smoothly, and the air force also demonstrated the Russian military's formidable strength; both exercises progressed well.

Ironically, the army, which only accounts for 10% of the total, encountered some unexpected problems during the exercise.

And it's a major blunder.

The Chinese troops sent a battalion, which miraculously wiped out more than a regiment of Russian troops during the exercise, defeating an entire reinforced Russian regiment.

It was as if a battalion had defeated a reinforced regiment, accomplishing an incredible battle.

Even the most composed Russian soldiers could not remain calm at this moment.

Especially after learning that the command post had been wiped out, the Blue Army's rear had become the Chinese troops' backyard, and all the logistics units had become meat on the chopping block.

More than two-thirds of the troops in an reinforced regiment have become part of the Chinese forces' achievements.

Inside the command headquarters, a large group of Russian generals and officers who had previously managed to remain calm and composed were now unable to hold back and broke down.

Their faces were darker than the last, and their fists were clenched tighter than the last.

If it weren't for the presence of the Chinese delegation, this group of Russian military generals in their fifties and sixties would have definitely jumped up and made a phone call to unleash a torrent of abuse.

Hold Andrei accountable!
What a mess this supposed to be a Russian military strategic exercise has turned into!

The Russian generals in the general directorate were furious, a stark contrast to the radiant smiles on the faces of the Chinese delegation.

If it weren't for saving face for the Russian military, the Chinese delegation would have burst out laughing.

The 7th Steel Battalion was awesome!
This is such a great honor for them, and so inspiring!

The sheer joy of seeing one's own troops utterly crush foreign forces on foreign battlefields is something that can never be experienced while watching exercises at home.

……

The entire directing staff was furious with the Seventh Steel Battalion, and the exercise officially entered its final stage.

Because Chen Jun specifically ordered a news blackout, and destroyed all radios while wiping out the Blue Army's command post, the remaining Blue Army troops were unaware that the command post had been taken down.

Even less information came from the Red Army command.

Not only were they unaware that the Blue Army's command post had been destroyed, but they were also completely unaware that the Blue Army's right-wing defensive forces had been wiped out.

The two sides continued to fight on the left flank, engaging in fierce and back-and-forth battles.

but.

Although the two sides engaged in combat involving more than a regiment, and the battle line stretched to a range of two to three kilometers, both sides clearly held back and did not treat it as a life-or-death battle. In fact, the casualties on both sides were not significant.

Most of the battle scenes were drawn-out engagements, with each side finding a favorable position for cover and then firing at each other from a distance, rather than charging in for a deadly fight.

Therefore, even though the two sides had been fighting for several hours, the Blue Army on the left wing still had nearly a thousand troops.

If the enemy is discovered in the Blue Army's rear in time, and a talented commander steps forward, it could really cause Steel Seven a lot of trouble.

At least 0 deaths will definitely break through!

No matter what.

In this day and age, the informationized electronic forces have an overwhelming suppressive power over traditional forces; it's practically a matter of subverting expectations.

When the 702nd Regiment faced the Blue Army led by Old A, the huge heavy-armored regiment was practically useless, and was easily manipulated by the Blue Army troops commanded by the railway.

The 7th Steel Battalion is stronger than the original Blue Army, and the pressure on the Russian army will only be greater.

The current casualty ratio of 0 to 2000 is enough to demonstrate the terrifying suppressive power of the 7th Steel Battalion and how vulnerable the Russian Blue Army is to it.

The remaining left-wing units of the Russian Blue Army were unaware that they had become an "isolated force".

Their fate was already sealed.

……

8:05 AM.

The 7th Steel Battalion spread out to the entire rear of the Blue Army, clearing out various companies of the Blue Army's logistics forces, and regrouped eight kilometers behind the Blue Army on the left flank.

Chen Jun did not rush to launch an operation immediately, but instead allowed the troops to rest there for ten minutes.

The closer we get to the end, the more we need to put in our best effort.

The ten-minute rest for the entire battalion not only allows them to adjust their state, but also serves as a time to organize the latest intelligence and grasp as much of the Blue Army's movements as possible.

It is essential to know the location of each company in the left-wing Blue Army, their equipment configuration, and how many troops they have left.

The more detailed the information about the opposing force, the more easily the 7th Steel Battalion can capture more opposing forces in the final sweep operation.

The special reconnaissance company and the information company went into full firepower, and a large amount of intelligence was gathered at the battalion headquarters.

Ultimately, after being compiled and organized by the intelligence staff, the data was transformed into usable combat data and presented to Chen Jun, Gao Cheng, and others.

Having obtained intelligence on each of the Blue Army's companies, Chen Jun found it easy to arrange tactics.

All you need to do is follow the steps and clearly define the tasks.

The first thing Chen Jun did was to proactively provide intelligence to the main force of the Red Army, and he solemnly declared that this was high-value intelligence.

The intelligence, based on reconnaissance by the 7th Steel Battalion, indicates that troops on the right flank of the Blue Army are making a quiet transfer, and there are also major movements in the Blue Army's rear, likely indicating that they are planning something on the left flank.

As a precaution, it is recommended that the Red Army troops on the left flank temporarily cease their offensive.

We will make a decision after we have investigated the situation.

Chen Jun deliberately spread false information to the main force of the Red Army, hoping to trick them into withdrawing at this time and prevent them from competing with the Steel Seventh Battalion for kills.

If the main Red Army force wasn't deceived, it wouldn't have much impact on the Steel Seventh Battalion. In short, regardless of whether it's useful or not, let's try something first.

If you believe it, you're guaranteed to make money; if you don't believe it, you won't lose anything.

First, Chen Jun tricked the Red Army command into doing a ruse before he began to deploy his attack plan.

The first to receive the attack mission was the 3rd Armored Infantry Company. Chen Jun assigned them the most suitable opponent: to take out the nearest left-wing artillery battalion.

The artillery battalion consists of three companies, and to resolve the situation quickly, sufficient troops are needed to maintain control.

Otherwise, if the artillery battalion had time to react and promptly notified the other Blue Army companies on the left flank via radio, it would definitely cause some trouble for the Steel Seventh Battalion.

Therefore, Chen Jun's core tactics for this final battle can be summarized in eight words:

Either don't fight, or fight and kill instantly!

Only by eliminating the Blues' reaction time and destroying them all in an instant can the greatest benefit be obtained in the final battle.

After all, this final battle requires securing two points: competing with the Red Army for kills and maintaining a zero-casualty record.

Only by instantly killing the enemy can these two points be secured.

Infantry already has an advantage in mountain warfare, and the 3rd Armored Infantry Company is one of the elite units of the 7th Steel Battalion, which gave them a very high participation rate in this exercise.

A high usage rate means a high number of kills, and the three-company really had a blast in this exercise.

That's definitely the most fun company in the whole battalion.

none of them.

When the third company commander received another mission to raid the Blue Army, and this time it was the most valuable and easiest artillery battalion to be taken down, he almost grinned from ear to ear.

They set off with their troops as quickly as possible, as if afraid that if they were even a second slower, Chen Jun would change his mind.

The artillery battalion on the left flank of the Blue Army is the second one. The first artillery battalion had already been destroyed by the heavy artillery of the 7th Steel Battalion, which taught the commander of this second artillery battalion a lesson.

learn from mistakes!
To avoid following in the footsteps of their predecessors, the second Blue Army artillery battalion that came to provide support specifically chose a reverse slope terrain when selecting its campsite and artillery positions, just to guard against long-range artillery attacks.

The Blues have been playing for so long, they're not stupid.

I do understand some of it.

The Red Army's scouts were so dominant that they kept the Blue Army's scouts from getting out of the area, and their artillery positions were also pinpointed with great accuracy.

This known information is enough to prove that the Blue Army has been thoroughly infiltrated by the Red Army's scouts.

Since there is no way to win this reconnaissance operation and no way to carry out effective counter-reconnaissance deployment, all we can do is try to find ways to evade it.

To paraphrase that old saying:

Can't afford to provoke, can I still not hide?

However, the Blue Army artillery battalion never expected that despite their thorough preparations for artillery fire, the Steel Seventh Battalion would use a different tactic this time.

Eh!
This time, we're not playing with artillery; we're playing with infantry.

With precise guidance from the special reconnaissance company's scouts, the 3rd Armored Infantry Company approached the vicinity of the Blue Army's artillery battalion and split into three groups to attack the three artillery companies.

The artillery's frontal combat capability is almost zero; sending an infantry platoon to launch a surprise attack would be more than enough.

Furthermore, the three infantry platoons had a clear tactical deployment: prioritize attacking the company headquarters, and after taking control of the company headquarters, then clear out the other artillery units.

Well-prepared and with a clear strategy.

The outcome of the battle was naturally predictable.

The three artillery companies of the Blue Army were attacked almost simultaneously. In the blink of an eye, the entire company headquarters was riddled with gunfire and smoking. Then, all the radios were thrown on the ground and blown to pieces. Finally, they sped away.

The entire raid was so fast that it was impossible to keep up, leaving the Blue Army's artillery completely bewildered.

They had no idea where the Red Army soldiers who launched the attack came from; in their eyes, they were like ghosts that could fly and disappear into the earth.

This further boosted the reputation of the Ghost Corps.

Thick white smoke billowed from the last three artillery companies. All the artillery, vehicles, and cannons' training devices were skillfully activated by the soldiers of the third company.

They lost several hundred cents along the way, and the soldiers of the Third Company were very familiar with triggering the exercise device.

The Blue Army artillery battalion is five kilometers from the front line. They don't have to worry about being heard by the front line when they fire from here, so they can just go all out and do their job.

The 3rd Armored Infantry Company successfully wiped out the artillery battalion, adding more than two hundred kills to the 7th Steel Battalion's tally. The other units were also busy.

The battlefield has now been concentrated on the right flank, and the number of reconnaissance personnel needed has been greatly reduced.

Apart from one platoon that continued reconnaissance, the remaining two platoons of the Special Reconnaissance Company were gathered by Chen Jun and grouped together with the Special Operations Platoon to form a tank killer team.

The 7th Steel Battalion was already equipped with a number of rocket launchers, and this time they captured a large number of rocket launchers from the Blue Army.

The Steel Seventh Battalion, already flush with resources in this regard, equipped both platoons of the Special Reconnaissance Company with rocket launchers, just like the Special Operations Platoon.

A super rocket launcher company of nearly 100 people, their firepower is simply insane.

Furthermore, the mountainous and jungle terrain provides ample cover, allowing infantry to approach tanks relatively easily, making it arguably the best place to use rocket launchers.

When a hundred rocket launchers appeared on the front line.

Moreover, it emerged from behind the Blue Army's tank company, which had weak defenses and wasn't paying much attention to them, so the destructive power it generated can only be described as phenomenal.

The first Blue Army tank company that was targeted had just fought a major battle with the Red Army and was now in the rear, resting and reorganizing.

The guards were focused on the front, with little attention paid to the rear where the main camp was located.

The fact that eight tanks remained after such a long battle is enough to prove that this tank company was very strong and was not some weakling.

As a result, they encountered a "rocket launcher company" that had sneaked up on them, and were all wiped out in a single encounter.

"Puff puff puff puff..."

Nearly a hundred rocket launchers were fired simultaneously; the scene was truly spectacular.

The Blue Team's tanks, which were resting and hadn't moved, were each hit by more than a dozen armor-piercing rocket launchers. Instantly, all the smoke canisters were triggered, meaning all the vital points were hit, and they were ruthlessly eliminated.

The Blue Army tank crew, still confused about the situation, crawled out cursing and swearing, thinking it was a malfunction and never imagining they had been attacked.

When he climbed out from the top hatch, he found that the surrounding woods were full of tubes.

The Blue Army tank crews were dumbfounded.

"Who has such an outrageous weapon configuration? They actually have a whole company of anti-tank rocket launchers?? Are they even trying to make us play this game??"

The Blue Army tank company was speechless, realizing for the first time that main battle tanks could be so fragile.

The Blue Army tank company, which was instantly wiped out, was speechless, while the Special Reconnaissance Company, which was just firing rocket launchers like crazy, was having a blast. The feeling of being bombarded was just too exciting.

If each person hadn't only carried three bullets, Cheng Cai, Wu Liuyi, and the others would have loved to fire another one.

Even if it's smoking, keep attacking!
Just to satisfy my urge to use my hands!
