Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Xue Changhe came back to his senses and grabbed the communicator, his voice trembling with anger: "Order all units, ignore the casualty statistics! Immediately charge! Close the distance and engage in hand-to-hand combat!" His eyes swept across the battlefield situation map. The red marks were largely eliminated, but the blue marks were few and far between, scattered like stars. "We still have more than 2,000 people, and the enemy is only 600! As long as we close the distance, their little tricks will be useless!"

The communications officer quickly relayed the order, and the Red Army troops immediately adjusted their tactics, abandoning their orderly formation and surging forward like a tidal wave. Dozens of tanks and armored vehicles accelerated forward, their tracks stirring up clouds of dust, and the infantry followed closely behind, attempting to annihilate the ignorant combined-arms battalion with their overwhelming numerical superiority.

However, just as the Red Army began its full-speed advance, Wang Gang, inside the Blue Army's command post, calmly observed the tactical display screen, his lips curled slightly. "They've taken the bait." He pressed the communicator: "Execute the 'disperse counterattack' plan. All units immediately retreat and disperse to pre-determined positions."

After this order was issued, the Blue Team, previously hidden in the frontline, immediately mobilized. Rather than forming a front line to resist, they quickly dispersed into twelve smaller combat units and retreated in all directions. Each unit consisted of approximately 50 men, carrying light but powerful weapons and equipment, and quietly retreated into the jungle, hills, and villages.

Xue Changhe was stunned when he saw this scene through his telescope. He had never seen such tactics in his military career. Shouldn't the enemy concentrate their forces to resist? Why did they disperse instead? This completely violated the basic principle of concentration of forces in traditional military theory.

"What are they doing?" Xue Changhe muttered to himself in confusion, then smiled in relief, "Ha! They're scared! They're running away! Okay, all units, pay attention! The enemy has dispersed. Destroy them one by one!"

The military brass on the reviewing stand also noticed the unusual developments on the battlefield. Major General Zhang Lixin couldn't help but sneer, "See, Team Leader Fang's new ideas are failing in actual combat. They've already begun to flee."

But the expressions of General Staff Chief Liu Zhiguo and Central Military Commission Chairman Zhou Zhihai were remarkably focused. Liu Zhiguo leaned in close to the battlefield situation display, carefully observing the movement of the blue units: "No, they're not fleeing... This is an organized, planned tactical adjustment."

As Liu Zhiguo said, the Blue Team's retreat was by no means a rout, but rather a carefully planned tactical deployment. Each Blue Team unit was moving toward a specific location, gradually forming an invisible network across the entire exercise area.

Wang Gang explained softly at the command post, "Traditional military superiority has lost its meaning in the face of information warfare. We don't need a head-on confrontation, but rather we need to trap the enemy in an 'electronic maze' we've designed."

As the Red Army dispersed in pursuit, strange things began to happen. The 1st Armored Battalion pursued a Blue Army squad of approximately 50 men northwest. However, as they entered an open area, their communications systems suddenly failed. Simultaneously, Blue Army soldiers hidden nearby activated portable electronic jammers, causing the navigation systems of the Red Army's tanks and armored vehicles to malfunction, with some even ceasing to function entirely.

Before the Red Army could adjust, several miniature drones emerged from the woods and dropped simulated bombs on the tanks. The red lights on the detonators illuminated, signaling the tanks were "destroyed." In just a few minutes, over half the entire armored battalion had been destroyed.

Similar scenes unfolded across the battlefield. The Red Army, fragmented into smaller groups, each pursued the Blue Team, only to be repeatedly ensnared in pre-set electronic warfare traps. Some were disrupted by electronic jamming, losing their communications and navigation capabilities. Some were destroyed by micro-drones. Still others were even led into pre-set ambushes by the Blue Team, subjected to precise fire from multiple directions.

On the reviewing stand, Major General Zhang Lixin's expression grew increasingly grim. "This... this is impossible! How can they fight in so many places at once? Their forces are clearly less than a quarter of ours!"

"Electronic warfare and information superiority," General Chen explained, watching the red markers on the tactical display disappear. "Every combat unit in the combined arms battalion can share intelligence and coordinate operations in real time, while the various units on the Red Army side are cut off from all communication and become 'information islands.' This is what the battlefield of the future will look like."

Amidst the chaos, Xue Changhe had completely lost control of his troops. His command vehicle was hit by three micro-drones, and his communications system was completely disabled, leaving him unable to even grasp the real-time status of his troops. Wang Gang, however, was able to clearly see the entire battlefield situation through an encrypted data link, allowing him to precisely command each combat unit.

Three hours later, the signal for the end of the exercise sounded. The final result shocked everyone: the Red Army's reinforced regiment was completely wiped out, while the Blue Army's combined-arms battalion lost less than 20% of its strength. Leveraging advanced electronic warfare equipment, a flat command system, and flexible small-unit tactics, the 680-man combined-arms battalion decisively defeated the 2500-man conventional reinforced regiment.

Chairman Zhou Zhihai of the Military Commission slowly stood up and looked around at the senior military officials. "Comrades, today we have witnessed the beginning of a revolution in military affairs. On future battlefields, victory will no longer belong to the side with greater numbers, but to the side with more flexible information and faster decision-making. Comrade Fang Yu's concept of a combined battalion will surely become the direction of our military reform."

Below the training ground, Xue Changhe stood in disbelief, watching in the distance as the soldiers of Wang Gang's combined arms battalion lined up for review. Never in his military career had he experienced such a complete defeat. Trying to recall the entire process, he realized his troops had been chasing after "phantoms," while the real blows always came from unseen directions.

Fang Yu walked over to him and whispered, "Captain Xue, this isn't your fault. This is a clash of two military philosophies. On future battlefields, victory or defeat will no longer be determined by the number of troops, but by the ability to acquire information and the speed of decision-making."

Xue Changhe was silent for a moment, then nodded bitterly: "Team Leader Fang, I accept. You are right, our army needs to change."

On the reviewing stand, Zhou Zhihai made a historic decision: "From today on, our army will begin to fully implement the reform of combined arms brigades. In the first phase, three divisions will be selected for pilot projects, and the transformation will be completed within one year. In the second phase, the reform will be promoted throughout the entire army, and completed within three years. At the same time, we will increase the research and development and production of electronic warfare equipment to enhance our informationized combat capabilities."

The military brass present, including the previously skeptical Major General Zhang Lixin, applauded with genuine conviction. They understood that today's exercise would not only determine the future direction of the Dragon Kingdom's military, but could also potentially alter the world's military landscape.
