Chapter 1687 Valuable Experience

"The situation is very serious now," He Jun glanced at the commanders in front of him, his tone serious, "The right-wing troops have lost contact, and it is likely that they have been wiped out by the enemy. We must adjust our tactics immediately."

"Commander, what should we do now?" a lieutenant asked anxiously.

He Jun took a deep breath and pointed to a location on the map: "The left-wing troops continue to act as planned, but they must remain highly vigilant and be ready to respond to emergencies at any time. The central troops will change the direction of attack with me and break through from here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a major questioned: "Commander, this is too risky. If we change direction, we may fall into another ambush circle of the enemy."

He Jun glared at him and said firmly: "There are always risks, but now we have no better choice. We must break through as soon as possible and meet up with the main force. Execute the order!"

As He Jun's order was issued, the entire battlefield fell into a fierce confrontation again. Gunshots and artillery sounds came one after another, and every soldier was fighting for survival and victory.

At this moment, He Jun was full of anxiety and uneasiness. He kept marking the positions of both sides on the map, trying to find a breakthrough. He knew that the key to this battle was whether decisions could be made quickly and accurately.

"Report to the commander!" A scout rushed into the command post breathlessly, "We found that a large number of enemy reinforcements were approaching us!"

He Jun's heart tightened, but he did not show any panic. He quickly glanced at the map, and then decisively issued a new order: "Everyone pay attention, break out in this direction immediately!" He pointed to a narrow passage on the map, "This is our only chance!"

As He Jun's order was passed down, the entire battlefield changed dramatically again. The soldiers bravely moved forward, trying to tear a hole in the enemy's encirclement. Every soldier knew that this was a critical moment for their survival.

On the other side.

In the vast mountains, the morning mist was like a veil, covering the land that was about to become a battlefield with a mysterious veil. The horn of the actual combat exercise has been blown, and every inch of land seems to be able to feel the upcoming tension and killing. Qin Yuan, the wise general of the Western Theater, stood on the high command platform, staring at the battlefield situation map on the electronic screen with a barely perceptible smile. His plan has been quietly unfolded.

"Yue Ming, Duan Jinglin, are you ready?" Qin Yuan's voice was low and powerful, and reached the ears of his two right-hand men through the encrypted communication channel.

"Everything is ready, General Qin." Yue Ming's voice was calm and firm. He was a tactical master under Qin Yuan's command, and was good at arranging complex and changeable battlefield traps. Duan Jinglin, on the other hand, was an expert in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance. His task was to lay a perfect cover for Yue Ming's trap.

"Very good, remember, our goal is not to destroy He Jun and his Eastern Theater troops, but to let them understand that on a real battlefield, any negligence may lead to fatal consequences." Qin Yuan's words carried a barely perceptible chill. He knew that the significance of this exercise was far greater than victory or defeat itself.

At the same time, in the command center of the Eastern Theater, He Jun was frowning and staring at the sand table in front of him. As the commander of the Eastern Theater, he has a keen intuition and rich combat experience. But today, an inexplicable uneasiness always lingers in his heart.

"General He, our scouts report that the Western Theater's activities in the southeast region are unusually frequent, and there seems to be a big move." A staff officer hurried into the command room with the latest intelligence report in his hand.

He Jun took the report, quickly browsed it, and frowned even more. "Abnormally frequent? This is not in line with Qin Yuan's combat style. He has always been cautious and will not easily expose his intentions." He pondered for a moment, then looked up at the adjutant beside him, "Notify all troops to strengthen vigilance and be prepared to retreat at any time."

However, Qin Yuan's layout is far more sophisticated than He Jun imagined. The trap set up by Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin together is like an invisible net, quietly covering the road that the Eastern Theater troops must pass. They took advantage of the terrain to set up multiple hidden ambush points, and at the same time used electronic jamming equipment to interfere with the communication system of the Eastern Theater, making it impossible for He Jun to accurately grasp the situation on the front line.

When the vanguard of the Eastern Theater entered the trap area, they were caught off guard by the sudden artillery fire and ambush. Although He Jun responded quickly and ordered the troops to retreat, chaos and panic had already spread among the troops. Communications were interrupted, command failed, and many soldiers lost their way in the chaos and became the target of precision strikes by the Western Theater.

"General He, we must retreat immediately! If this continues, we will suffer heavy losses!" The adjutant's voice was anxious, and he stared at He Jun closely, waiting for the other party's decision.

He Jun took a deep breath, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. He knew that the decision at this moment would determine the life and death of countless soldiers. "All retreat, concentrate in the southeast direction, and reorganize!" He gave the order, his voice firm and powerful. Although his heart was full of reluctance and anger, he knew better that preserving the living force was the most important task at the moment.

Under the decisive command of He Jun, the troops of the Eastern Theater began to retreat in an orderly manner. However, Qin Yuan did not stop there. He knew that the real contest had just begun. Yue Ming and Duan Jinglin continued to command the troops, pursuing and harassing the retreating Eastern Theater Command troops, trying to further expand the results of the battle.

"General Qin, He Jun and his men have started to retreat. Should we pursue them?" Yue Ming's voice was filled with excitement. He knew that the victory of this exercise was within reach.

"No, let them go." Qin Yuan shook his head unexpectedly. "Our goal has been achieved. Remember, war is not a simple killing, but a contest of wisdom and courage. He Jun is an excellent commander. He will learn more from this failure."

Following Qin Yuan's order, the pursuit of the Western Theater gradually slowed down and finally stopped. The Eastern Theater troops, after a thrilling retreat, finally regrouped in a relatively safe area. He Jun stood on a high place, looking at the devastated battlefield, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"How many people were lost?" His voice was low and heavy, as if every word carried endless pressure.

"According to preliminary statistics, we lost more than half of our people." The adjutant's voice was a little choked. He knew what this failure meant to the Eastern Theater.

He Jun was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "Notify all troops to hold a summary meeting tonight. We must learn lessons from this failure, find out our shortcomings, and then become stronger."

Night fell, and the starry sky was bright. In the temporary command post of the Eastern Theater, a profound summary meeting was underway. He Jun stood in front of everyone, his eyes firm and deep. "Today, we have encountered unprecedented challenges. But we cannot be defeated by failure. We must remember that every failure is a stepping stone to success. Qin Yuan and his Western Theater have taught us a lesson, but this lesson, we will remember it in our hearts and turn it into a driving force for progress."

And Qin Yuan, who was far away at the other end, was also watching all this silently in his command room. There was no joy of victory in his heart, only deep thinking about war and peace. "War is cruel, but it is also a catalyst for growth. I hope that through this exercise, we can all cherish peace more and work harder to improve ourselves for those things we swear to protect."

The next day.

In the vast night, He Jun stood alone on the top of the mountain, staring at the dimly lit camp of the recruit company in the distance. There was both determination and a subtle sadness in his eyes. For him, this actual combat exercise was not just a contest of victory or defeat, but also a challenge to his own limits, a test of faith and courage.

"General, are we really going to surprise the recruit company?" The voice of adjutant Li Wei seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night sky, and there was a hint of hesitation in his words, "That's our own troops, and they are defenseless..."

He Jun turned around and looked at Li Wei with a sharp gaze, and said firmly: "Yes, we must do this. In this exercise, we have lost too much and can no longer retreat. Although the recruit company is our own people, on the battlefield, there is no absolute enemy, only victory and defeat. We must use this surprise attack to prove to everyone that the Eastern Theater will never give up!"

Li Wei was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. He knew He Jun's determination and the importance of this exercise to the Eastern Theater. So, the two began to plan the surprise attack in detail.

At the same time, there was a quiet in the camp of the recruit company. After a day of hard training, the recruits were already exhausted and were now immersed in dreams. They didn't know that a sudden crisis was quietly approaching.

As the night deepened, He Jun led an elite team and quietly approached the camp of the recruit company. They used the cover of the terrain to avoid all sentinels and monitoring equipment, and infiltrated the camp step by step.

"Remember, our goal is to create chaos and make the recruits panic, thereby exposing their weaknesses." He Jun reminded the team members for the last time before the action, "But remember, don't hurt anyone, this is just an exercise."

The team members responded in unison, and then dispersed, each heading towards the predetermined target. He Jun took several elites and went straight to the command center of the recruit company.

However, just as they were about to approach the command center, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly broke the silence of the night. He Jun's heart tightened, and he quickly signaled the team members to hide. I saw several officers from the recruit company hurriedly passing by, and they seemed to be discussing some urgent situation.

"Not good, they seem to have noticed something." He Jun whispered, his eyes flashed with a sharpness, "Change the plan, we will directly raid the command center and control the situation."

The team members quickly adjusted their tactics and followed He Jun, approaching the command center silently like ghosts. They used the cover of night and terrain to quickly deal with the sentry at the door, and then rushed into the command center.

"Who is it?!" The officers in the command center stood up in astonishment. They never expected that their camp would be raided.

"Eastern Theater, He Jun." He Jun said coldly, his eyes swept over everyone present, "We haven't lost this exercise yet."

The commander of the recruit company, a young colonel, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly came to his senses: "General He, what do you mean? We are in the same camp!"

"On the battlefield, there is no camp, only victory or defeat." He Jun's voice was cold and firm, "This time, I will use you to win back a city."

After that, he signaled the team members to start the action. They quickly controlled all the communication equipment in the command center and cut off the contact between the recruit company and the outside world. At the same time, He Jun also ordered the team members to create chaos in the camp of the recruit company, so that the recruits fell into panic and confusion.

Sure enough, as the command center was controlled, the camp of the recruit company quickly fell into chaos. The recruits were awakened by the sudden change, and they ran around at a loss, trying to find a safe shelter. He Jun took this opportunity to lead the team to shuttle through the camp of the recruit company, creating greater chaos.

"General He, if you do this, it will only make our troops more chaotic!" The commander of the recruit company tried to persuade He Jun, "You should stop this meaningless farce!"

"Meaningless farce?" He Jun sneered, "Tell me, what is the meaning? In this exercise, we have lost too much. Now, I want to use this surprise attack to regain our lost dignity and confidence!"

With He Jun's order, the troops in the Eastern Theater began to counterattack in the camp of the recruit company. They took advantage of the chaos and confusion of the recruits and quickly occupied important positions in the camp, forcing the recruit company's troops into a desperate situation.

"General He, you won." The commander of the recruit company sighed helplessly, "But remember, this is just an exercise. We will not be such opponents on the real battlefield."

"I know." He Jun nodded, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, "But this exercise made me see the shortcomings of our troops and your potential. Remember, whether we win or lose, we are comrades-in-arms, brothers fighting for the same goal."

As He Jun's voice fell, this thrilling surprise attack slowly came to an end. Through this Jedi counterattack, the Eastern Theater Command not only successfully regained a city, but also exposed its own problems in the exercise, providing valuable experience for future training and improvement.
