Chapter 338 Red Third Company and Artillery Battalion Joint Operation
338 Red Third Company and artillery battalion joint operations
Chen Fei led the Red Third Company towards another target area.
They drove very fast, maintaining a speed of about 80 kilometers per hour.
Their superiors ordered them to head to Area 07 at full speed to join the artillery battalion there.
However, regarding the specific combat tasks, the superiors did not give clear instructions. They just asked them to fight jointly with the artillery battalion. They did not say more, nor did they stipulate what they must do. They just told them to take the initiative to find the Blue Army.
Target, independent operations, of course, the Red Army will transmit relevant information to the command vehicles of both sides in a timely manner for reference by both sides.
"Company commander, what is the origin of this artillery battalion? Does this mean the higher ups attach great importance to them?"
Gan Xiaoning sat next to Chen Fei and couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked loudly.
This time, Chen Fei and Gan Xiaoning were riding in the same infantry tank.
He had sat with Wu Liuyi, he had also sat with Chengcai, and now it was Gan Xiaoning's turn. So Gan Xiaoning was smiling and very happy along the way.
After hearing Gan Xiaoning's question, Chen Fei shook his head: "I don't know either."
This red-blue confrontation exercise, codenamed Spring Thunder, involved too many troops, multiple arms joint forces, and even cross-military operations, so he really didn't know a lot of things.
At this time, he only knew a few things about the group army. Other than that, he was almost the same as the others. His eyes were completely blank and he didn't know anything. There was no other way. The scale of our army was too huge and the team was too large.
There are many, and no one can give a rough idea of the overall situation.
Chen Fei and the soldiers of the Third Red Company rode in infantry tanks and galloped all the way until they reached their destination in the evening of that day.
"Report, we will enter area 07 in ten kilometers, over!"
After hearing this, Chen Fei picked up the transmitter and ordered in a deep voice: "The whole company has it, slow down to 40 kilometers per hour, adjust the communication frequency to channel 468.57, use channel 475.82 for intra-company communication, all personnel are ready for battle, the third squad
, launch the drone! Over.”
There is corresponding support from the headquarters along the way, so there is no need for Red Third Company to worry too much. However, the third Red Company has to rely on itself in the front.
at this time.
About five kilometers away from the Red Third Company, in a bush, a scout with his face covered in oil paint put down his telescope and asked strangely: "Why have they slowed down? Have they discovered us?"
"That shouldn't happen, right? We're pretty well hidden, right?"
"The battalion commander said these guys have some evil ways. Squad leader, you have been observing them for so long, have you found out where their evil ways are?"
"No, I didn't see their evil ways, I only saw their toughness!"
"Tough?"
"In our division, which company's infantry fighting vehicle have you seen driving like this?"
"Squad leader, listening to what you said, they are really tough. How dare they drive so fast on such a bad road? If the armored corps of our division, I'm afraid they can drive up to 40?"
"So you said they are not tough?"
"Strong!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and observe quickly. We need to collect some intelligence for the battalion commander, otherwise we will be passive in the joint operation with them later, and the battalion commander will have to kill us!"
In the valley, nine infantry fighting vehicles and a company command vehicle of the Red Third Company rumbled forward. Although their speed had slowed down a lot, in the eyes of outsiders, their speed was still very fast.
After a while, when everyone was still five kilometers away from the target area, a strange calling voice came from the radio: "Pheasant calling eagle, please answer if you hear it."
Pheasant is the code name of the artillery battalion, so Chen Fei quickly picked up the microphone and said: "Pheasant Pheasant, I am the Eagle, over!"
"Eagle, I am a pheasant. I have been ordered to come to greet you. Now you follow my command. Over!"
"The eagle understands."
The other party then gave a series of instructions, telling Chen Fei how to go, which fork to enter, how many kilometers to the left, how many kilometers to the right, and so on. Under the command of the other party, the Red Third Company finally entered the artillery camp.
Camp area.
Bang--
The hatch of the infantry fighting vehicle opened, and Chen Fei was the first to jump out of the vehicle.
After several hours of continuous high-speed marching, his whole body felt as if it was falling apart. After landing, he shook his hands, kicked his legs, took a few deep breaths, and slowly relaxed his whole body.
The first thing he did was look around.
I have to say that the location chosen by the artillery battalion is really clever. It stands against the mountain and is difficult to detect. Coupled with the clever camouflage of the artillery battalion, even if a drone flies over the sky, it may not be visible.
But what he wanted to see most was the configuration of the artillery battalion.
After looking at it, he realized that the other party was not an ordinary artillery battalion. They were all equipped with new vehicle-mounted howitzers, also commonly known as truck guns.
This 122mm vehicle-mounted howitzer is a vehicle-mounted howitzer independently developed by our army. It uses a large number of off-the-shelf technologies and products. It has fast fire response, large fire coverage, can independently and quickly position and orient, and has a short transition time between marching and combat, and can occupy and withdraw.
It has a fast position, strong maneuverability and dynamic rapid strike capability.
Modern warfare is transforming from mechanized warfare to high-tech information-based warfare. The military's information-based capabilities play an increasingly important role in winning wars. As the main force of the army, ground suppression artillery will still be the key to future ground battlefields.
One of the main weapons and equipment is an important means to eliminate the opponent's vitality.
Traditional towed artillery has poor maneuverability and low survivability on the battlefield. Even if it undergoes information transformation, it is difficult to fully adapt to information warfare under high-tech conditions. The emergence of crawler and wheeled armored vehicle chassis self-propelled artillery has better solved the problem of towed artillery.
It has shortcomings such as poor mobility and insufficient battlefield survivability, but the procurement and use costs are relatively high, making it difficult to equip on a large scale.
The emergence of the wheeled vehicle-mounted gun, a product of "the combination of a truck and a howitzer", has achieved a better unification of performance and cost, creating favorable conditions for the mechanization and informatization development of the artillery force under the condition of limited military expenditures.
This new type of vehicle-mounted howitzer has a high degree of automation, eliminating the need to manually open the rack, adjust the level, and manually assign the shooting direction of the old equipment. It is very convenient. Each gunner installs various elements and can adjust the gun, gunner, aimer and driver with one click.
The crew worked closely together to complete shooting preparations in a short period of time.
Chen Fei was sighing secretly when a major strode over, surrounded by a group of people.
"Company commander, they are coming!" Secretary Zhang Yang reminded in a low voice.
This soldier Zhang Yang is really becoming more and more thoughtful. With him by his side, Chen Fei really saves a lot of worry.
Chen Fei quickly withdrew his gaze and strode forward to greet him.
The commander of the artillery battalion is a dark man about thirty years old, with a Chinese character face and a burly build. The first thing I felt when I saw him was that this guy was very tough.
The two men saluted each other and finally shook hands together.
"Hello, Battalion Commander Li!"
"Hello, Company Commander Chen!"
The commander of the artillery battalion is called Li Ming.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Li Ming introduced the relevant situation here.
This artillery battalion is the trump card of the Red Army. It has been hidden for a long time to no avail. Now, the command headquarters feels that it is time to bring it out. It is a mule or a horse. It is time to take it out and run around. But what can be done to make this artillery battalion free?
The effectiveness is maximized. Today's joint operation between the Red Company and the Tank Company inspired the Red Army headquarters, so the higher ups immediately decided to send the Red Company here to let the two sides join forces to see if they can make a difference.
Sparkle.
However, to be honest, although the superiors sent the Red Third Company here, they didn’t know exactly what to do to maximize the combat effectiveness of both sides, and they looked at it with a blank look. Therefore, the superiors gave an order called
They fight independently, and their superiors are only responsible for notifying them of the most important information.
"Company Commander Chen, I heard that you had a fight with a tank company before and you did a pretty good job. Can you tell me more about it?"
As soon as he walked into the artillery camp's headquarters, Li Ming couldn't wait to ask.
"Of course." Chen Fei didn't hide it and started talking directly.
Next, if the two sides want to cooperate and do a good job in joint operations, the first thing is to quickly establish mutual trust. To establish mutual trust in such a short period of time, there is only one way, which is to be frank, sincere, and gain the recognition of the other party.
Therefore, Chen Fei didn't hide anything and immediately explained everything in detail.
