From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chen Jun's expression turned extremely strange, and Gao Cheng, Hong Yi, and the others all laughed.

"Chief of Staff, you betrayed them. They'll definitely come after you. Do you expect them to thank you? Haha," Brigade Commander Wang joked with a laugh.

"Then I'd better not accept it. I don't want to suffer."

As Chen Jun spoke, he looked at Wang Qingrui and chuckled, "Why don't you, Brigade Commander? Your rank is more suitable for a brigade commander; I'm not high enough."

"You little rascal, you're the smartest of all."

Wang Qingrui chuckled and scolded Chen Jun, but didn't refuse. He stretched out his hand and said, "Alright, give me your phone. Let me see what's going on."

"Thank you, brigade commander. You're so kind."

Chen Jun offered two flattering remarks and handed the phone to Wang Qingrui.

"Hello, is this Commander Wang? This is Wang Qingrui."

Wang Qingrui gestured for everyone to mute, and then calmly answered the phone.

"Oh, it's Brigade Commander Wang. Hello, hello. I'd like to see your Chief of Staff, Chen Jun." Wang Hu paused for two seconds, then quickly realized what was going on.

“He’s right next to me, but he asked me to tell you he’s not here because he’s busy with something.”

"Pfft~"

When Wang Qingrui said this in a very serious tone, Gao Cheng and the others next to him couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Wang Qingrui is a rather serious person and rarely jokes with people. Unexpectedly, he started joking, catching Chen Jun off guard.

Chen Jun was speechless!

"Oh, is it so?"

Wang Hu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then please tell Chief of Staff Chen that I will wait for him here until he finishes his work."

Wang Qingrui answered the call on speakerphone, and Chen Jun could hear him clearly.

Now that he was in this situation, he couldn't run away anymore. He could only take back his phone, cough twice to cover his embarrassment, and say, "Um, Commander Wang, hello there. The weather is great here today. How's the weather where you are?"

"Stop talking nonsense, and don't try to change the subject."

Commander Wang was speechless and said sarcastically, "Chief of Staff Chen, you are really a busy man. It's not easy to get you to answer a phone call."

To be honest, I'm not doing well right now, and you need to give me an explanation.

"Oh, you're not feeling well, there's nothing I can do. I'm not a doctor. If Commander Wang needs one, I can call a military doctor for you," Chen Jun said, feigning ignorance.

"The doctor you called can't cure me. I'm just feeling unwell," Wang Hu said earnestly.

"Feeling unwell? That might be a heart problem, which is a serious matter and needs to be dealt with immediately. Calling me would be a waste of precious treatment time," Chen Jun said, making up a lie with a straight face.

"okay."

Unable to out-argue Chen Jun, Wang Hu simply laid the table and asked directly, "Tell me the truth, what were you doing sending a fleet of planes to Xiaojinhu Airport?"

"Xiaojinhu Airport? What Xiaojinhu?" Chen Jun thought back seriously, his acting was incredibly realistic.

Gao Cheng, Hong Yi, and the others watching from the sidelines had incredibly interesting expressions. They were truly impressed by Gao Cheng's confident and self-assured acting skills.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Just tell me the truth, and hurry up." Wang Hu was getting impatient.

"Oh, oh, I remember now, it seems that did happen, but I didn't go. I didn't give such an order. I don't know who it was. I need to go to the Army Aviation Battalion to find out," Chen Jun replied seriously.

"Do you think I believe what you're saying? I think you were deliberately sent to cause trouble, and you must have tipped off the Mountain Eagle Brigade in the meantime, right?" Wang Hu exposed his true colors.

"Good, as expected of a peacekeeping expert, you reacted so quickly."

Seeing that the other party had already seen through his trick, Chen Jun stopped pretending to be stupid and smiled, saying, "Let me tell you, I originally planned to tell you about this after the exercise was over."

Since you asked, then for the sake of the intelligence information you gave us, I'll explain the situation to you clearly.

Here's the thing: Staff Officer Qiu from our intelligence center discovered, through satellite and electromagnetic wave tracking information, that your brigade has been doing some shady things.

For example, they could send a few communication vehicles to drive around in the mountains and pull your missile battalion to the third district.

We were thinking, what are you doing bringing the missile battalion there? To attack us? That's impossible, we don't go there at all, are we going there for a picnic? That's even more impossible.

From this, we concluded that you were probably planning to take action against the Mountain Eagle Brigade, so we thought we'd lend you a hand. We didn't expect to make things worse; we're really sorry.

Chen Jun's apology was so sincere and earnest that Wang Hu couldn't even muster up his temper.

All I could do was complain, speechless: "If you find any shortcomings in our security measures or areas that aren't well-hidden, you can remind us. We can improve, and I'd be grateful to you."

"Who told you to come and help? We don't need your help to fight the Mountain Eagle Brigade! Isn't this just ridiculous? I think you're just here to cause trouble."

Wang Hu knew he couldn't do anything to Chen Jun, but he was mainly feeling a burning resentment in his heart.

He needs an apology and an explanation.

“Brigade Commander Wang, if you’re going to talk like that, you’re being too low-level. We haven’t used those kinds of petty tricks in a long time.”

Chen Jun continued to deny it outright, then proceeded to brainwash him, saying, "If I were to remind you, it would be my dereliction of duty, contrary to the principles and mission of our professional opposing team."

So the political commissar and I discussed it and decided to lend you a hand.

Of course, if you think we did it intentionally, deliberately leaking intelligence to the Mountain Eagle Brigade, then I won't explain further; just assume that's what you think.

Chen Jun's last sentence was sarcastic, completely shifting the blame.

"Chief of Staff Chen, any explanation is just a cover-up. You're deliberately ruining my plans. You're so wicked. You really can't be this bad," Brigade Commander Wang said bitterly.

"I've heard that kind of talk too many times. I've never said I'm a good person, haha," Chen Jun laughed.

"Fine, fine, Chief of Staff Chen, you just wait. I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget." Wang Hu said, then slammed the phone down.

Bang.

The loud noise of the phone being hung up startled everyone else in the command post.

"Tsk tsk tsk, he gets all worked up as soon as he talks, and when he gets worked up he threatens us, saying he'll teach us a lesson. That's really scary, haha." Chen Jun said, putting aside his humor.

Gao Cheng and the others laughed.

To be able to break through the defenses of the Tsunami Assault Brigade Commander with just a feint, Chen Jun's psychological tactics are truly unparalleled.

Instead of receiving an explanation or apology, Wang Hu was tricked and ridiculed by Chen Jun.

It was indeed a case of breaking through defenses with sheer force.

"Who does he think he is? I've never seen such a shameless person." Wang Hu got up and paced back and forth in anger, saying to the chief of staff next to him, "Let me tell you, the Seventh Steel Brigade has never stopped spying on us. He discovered our missile battalion that was ambushed in the Third Division, as well as the feint attack by the First Company of the First Battalion."

What's even more infuriating is that he told Xiahou Lanlan everything. Isn't that blatant betrayal? Huh? Who does this Chen Jun think he is?

Seeing the brigade commander lose his temper and spew profanities, Chief of Staff Gui felt bitter and didn't know what to say.

"Reporting to the brigade commander, the forward reconnaissance troops have discovered that an airborne battalion of the Blue Army's Mountain Eagle Brigade is rapidly advancing towards Sector 3. The vanguard has already arrived at Sector 3," the intelligence staff officer reported at this moment.

"Notify the missile battalion to start all missiles. If you manage to capture one, shoot it to death."

Wang Hu immediately issued orders, as if he wanted to vent the anger he had suffered from Chen Jun on the Mountain Eagle Brigade, and defeat the Mountain Eagle Brigade as soon as possible before dealing with the Steel Seventh Brigade.

"They didn't come from the sky, they came from the ground. They're one of the two battalions that were originally planned to be airdropped here," the intelligence officer reminded them.

"ground?"

Brigade Commander Wang and Chief of Staff Gui were startled, their expressions becoming even more grim than before. They quickly walked a few steps to the large screen in front of them.

"Well, so air support has been converted into ground advance, and paratroopers have been converted into infantry?" Wang Hu exclaimed in surprise.

"They're all motorized and moving at a very fast speed. It seems they're coming for our missile unit," Chief of Staff Gui said with a grave expression.

"I've also received some breaking news: the 7th Steel Brigade and the Mountain Eagle Brigade have joined forces," the intelligence officer said.

"That can't be right," Brigade Commander Wang said doubtfully.

"How did you obtain this intelligence?" Chief of Staff Gui asked sternly.

"The Electronic Reconnaissance Section has been tracking the radios of the 7th Steel Brigade for a long time and discovered that since early this morning, they have been exchanging telecommunications signals from the direction of Xiaojin Lake with unusually high frequency. Shouldn't this make us suspicious?" the intelligence officer said.

"Brigade Commander, this is a new situation, we must be vigilant," Chief of Staff Gui said, frowning.

"This is impossible."

Brigade Commander Wang remained unconvinced, saying, "We must not be deceived by the illusion before us, and we must not fall for Chen Jun's divisive tactics."

"This Mountain Eagle Brigade has quite the appetite; it actually wants to swallow our missile battalion whole," Chief of Staff Gui said.

"Will our reinforcements arrive in time?" Wang Hu asked.

"There's still time. As long as we occupy the front-line position on Hill 708, we can use the advantage of this ridge to block him from above for a while, and at the same time cut off Highway 453. But one-on-one combat will definitely be difficult," Chief of Staff Gui analyzed.

"Where is the Third Battalion located?" Wang Hu asked.

"We've passed through Zone 6 and entered Zone 5. We're only 60 kilometers from Xiaojinhu Airport," Chief of Staff Gui said, looking at the map in front of him.

"Sixty kilometers left?"

Wang Hu stepped forward and approached the map. After examining it carefully for a moment, he said, "Change the battle plan. Have the Third Battalion stand by in place."

"Not going any further? Is that alright?" Chief of Staff Gui asked uncertainly.

"After the main force of the First Battalion takes Hill 708 and distracts the Mountain Eagle Brigade, the Third Battalion will launch a surprise attack from the west to the east from behind the Mountain Eagle Brigade."

Wang Hu drew a line on the map, indicating the direction of the troops' attack route.

"Then let's bring up the Second Battalion as well, concentrate our forces and wipe out both of them. If we succeed this time, the Mountain Eagle Brigade will suffer heavy losses," Staff Officer Gui suggested.

"No, I'll only take half at most."

After refusing, Brigade Commander Wang said, "Because we still have no idea what the Seventh Steel Brigade means or whether they are up to something behind our backs."

Wang Hu's concerns were indeed valid.

If we were to send all our troops up there and wage a full-scale war against the Mountain Eagle Brigade as if we were taking a gamble, our own rear would definitely be vulnerable, which would give the Steel Seventh Brigade an opportunity.

If the 7th Steel Brigade were to launch a major offensive at this time, it could easily swallow up several divisions of the Tsunami Assault Brigade.

"Too."

Chief of Staff Gui finally realized what was happening and said angrily, "That Steel Seventh Brigade is really annoying. They've been lurking in the back, we have to be careful."

Hua Bi complained indignantly, "Brigade Commander, if it weren't for the Steel Seventh Brigade causing trouble here, we would have been almost certain to defeat the Mountain Eagle Brigade."

"This Chen Jun is really too cunning. No wonder he is a colonel who is not yet thirty years old. His skills are indeed quite formidable."

Despite being furious, Wang Hu actually had some respect for Chen Jun.

After all, there are very few people who can push him to this point; Chen Jun is the only one he has encountered so far.

……

Viewing stand.

A group of experts, guests and reporters were waiting, and finally they got the news they wanted.

Ai Jia strode out of the director's office, holding an order in her hand, and announced to the general leadership: "Commanders, we have just received notification that the command headquarters has approved the experts to conduct on-site observation in Zone 3."

Two hours later, the Tsunami Assault Brigade and the Mountain Eagle Brigade will engage in a fierce battle on Hill 708 in Sector 3.

According to Deputy Commander Qian, both sides have deployed their most elite troops and formulated the most detailed tactics, promising a spectacular offensive and defensive battle.

As she spoke, Ai Jia handed out a stack of documents to the experts sitting in the front row one by one.

The experts, upon hearing that they could finally observe the event live, all wore satisfied smiles, eagerly anticipating the exciting battle to come.

The experts were satisfied, but others were unhappy.

"The experts can go to the site to observe, so should we make arrangements for that as well?"

As soon as one guest stood up and finished asking his question, another reporter stood up and said urgently, "We need firsthand interviews and we also need to go to the site to observe. Has the command center made any arrangements? They're not going to leave us here, are they?"

As the guest and reporter spoke, several more people stood up to express their dissatisfaction.

"Is such that……"

Ai Jia had anticipated this situation and explained with ease: "Because the combat zone is quite dangerous, very few vehicles can enter the combat zone, so the command has not made any arrangements for the time being."

If reporters and guests would like to go, they can ask Deputy Commander-in-Chief Qian.

Upon hearing Ai Jia bring up Deputy Commander Qian, the other reporters and guests could say nothing more and could only continue sitting there reluctantly.

Only one of the reporters, a senior colonel, strode over at this moment and said very seriously, "Comrade Aijia, I must travel with the experts' car. You need to make arrangements."

"still??"

Seeing that this colonel possessed an unusual aura, Ai Jia decided to first clarify the situation. (End of Chapter)
