Chapter 190: Bearing a heavy responsibility, awarded the rank of Lieutenant
The people at the Kyoto Military District Headquarters shouldn't be so inattentive. They've already conducted five information technology experiments, so a month or two won't make a difference, right?
Chen Mo looked at Pei Shuajun with doubt.
However, it was obvious that Captain Pei only heard the general idea in the conference room and he himself could not explain what happened in detail.
"Don't waste time. You're thick-skinned anyway, so getting scolded is commonplace. Let's go."
Pei Shuaijun urged.
"Okay."
The two of them stared at each other for a while, and no one wanted to move. After all, if they heard about this kind of thing, they might get scolded, so how could they possibly rush forward?
But the order has been given, and I have no choice but to go.
Pei Shuajun followed slowly, while Chen Mo looked doubtful.
The two men were like warriors rushing to the execution ground, with a sense of heroic and tragic poetry.
Arrived at the door of the conference room.
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door. It was Chen Mo who knocked. The coward Old Pei followed behind him.
"Come in!"
A gruff voice came from inside the room, but it was unclear which teacher it belonged to.
Chen Mo pushed the door open and walked in. The conference room had been used more frequently in recent times, so the layout inside looked much more luxurious than before.
Not only is it decorated with the August 1st Army flag, but rows of lush green plants are neatly arranged next to the wall, and there is a huge old-fashioned conference table in the middle, with several instructors sitting on both sides.
Not all the people came, but Vice President Zhang Jinnan and Director of the Strategic Campaign Department Luo Yaowu were there.
Chen Mo took a few quick steps and came to the conference table. Just as he was about to salute, Vice President Zhang raised his hand and slammed it on the table.
Then he stood up and glared at Chen Mo fiercely, asking in a questioning tone: "Do you think you look like a soldier now besides wearing a military uniform?"
"How dare you boast about three months in front of so many people from the military district? This is evil."
"Now, the higher-ups are asking us for our results. What can we give them?"
"ah?!"
Facing Vice President Zhang's roar, to be honest, if it weren't for Pei Shuajun's previous reminder, Chen Mo might have been intimidated.
The main thing is this scene, it’s so scary.
But it was different with the reminder. Chen Mo straightened his body and observed the other teachers on the scene with the corner of his eye. He found that the other teachers did not even raise their heads and had an attitude of indifference.
He just knew it.
In this meeting, Zhang Jinnan played the role of the bad guy.
If you don't have some experience, you will easily be defeated by these old men.
"Chen Mo!"
"arrive."
"Aren't you usually quite talkative? Why are you mute now?"
After Vice President Zhang got angry, he reached out and tugged at his collar, sat back in his chair and continued asking questions.
Faced with this kind of bad-cop behavior.
Chen Mo stood at attention again with a "snap", raised his head, and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Report to the chief, isn't there still a month left? We have been intensively preparing for the March deadline. We have fully carried forward the Nanniwan spirit, not waiting or relying on others, but actively creating conditions, daring to fight and strive to complete it."
"Stop, stop, stop. Come on, stop talking nonsense." Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, Luo Yaowu next to him raised his hand to stop him.
He has dealt with Chen Mo the most in the past two months, and he knows too well how good this guy is at talking.
This guy hasn't done anything yet, but he's already brought out the Nanniwan spirit. If he were to speak again, who knows what policy he'd bring up.
After Luo Yaowu finished speaking, he casually grabbed a document from the conference table, threw it to the end of the table, and frowned, saying, "Open it and take a look yourself."
"Read it first and tell me if you have the guts to defend yourself here."
"yes!"
Chen Mo glanced at Vice President Zhang and found that his face was still very dark, without any sign of easing.
He simply stopped looking at it, strode to the end of the table, picked up the document, and began to read it seriously.
There is nothing difficult to understand about the content of the file.
But this is an instruction issued by the ZYJW, which roughly means that in mid-August, the Northwest Jincheng Military Region will organize a large-scale joint combat exercise.
The troops participating in the exercise include the Second Artillery Corps, the Air Force and the Army. The reason for the exercise is to comprehensively test the results of joint campaign training and demonstrate the coordinated combat capabilities of multiple services.
Not just mid-August.
In early September, the two major military regions of Jinling and Yangcheng, the navy, army, air force, the Second Artillery, the militia, and the reserve forces will hold a large-scale joint sea crossing and landing combat exercise in Zhejiang and the southern Guangdong coast.
Currently, field planning has begun in the exercise area.
The scale is huge.
It can be said that only five countries in the world can do this.
They are five great philanthropists who embody the five great models of "civilization", exude the aura of "benevolence, righteousness, and morality", and have a high degree of "humanitarianism".
Other countries cannot afford to do things on this scale, so they all have to stand aside.
When Chen Mo saw the notice about the exercise, his heart skipped a beat and he secretly blamed himself for being careless.
An exercise of this scale is obviously prepared for the military parade in October. I have been very busy recently and have not paid attention to what is happening outside.
How could we forget the large-scale exercises before the parade?
It seems that the Kyoto Military District called to inquire, and they want to deploy this informationized experimental force into a large-scale exercise battlefield to conduct actual combat.
Poor himself, he had always been thinking about fighting against regimental units at the battalion level, but now it seems that the superiors have never given him this opportunity.
Joint military exercises are being conducted in Northwest China and southern Guangdong.
Once the war breaks out, it will be like two huge meat grinders. Can a unit like the one in the experimental stage of informatization jump in and do anything?
See Chen Mo put down the documents.
Luo Yaowu didn't beat around the bush. He raised his hand and knocked on the conference table, saying in a deep voice, "Do you know why Vice President Zhang is angry?"
"You mentioned the three-month plan back at the academy, but no one took it seriously before. Who knew you would bring it up again at the military district meeting?"
"In mid-August, that is, next month, the Kyoto Military District issued a special order for our experimental troops to rush to the northwest battlefield."
"Right now, the 7th Air Division of the Northern Region and the 9th Air Division of the Capital Region, as aerial coordination units for the exercise, have begun preparations for deployment."
"Hundreds of square kilometers of land have been designated for the Northwest Battlefield. The State-owned Design Institute, the Second Highway Bureau of Transportation, the First Aviation Bureau, the Third Branch of China Railway Construction Corporation, and 15 large enterprises and their subsidiaries are already holding technical demonstration meetings."
"Produce a simulated city construction plan for the exercise."
"Jilongjiang Oil Group and the CPC Pipeline Bureau are arranging to organize geological exploration engineers to go to the divided battlefield to conduct on-site inspections to open up the north-south oil pipeline and build two large oil depots."
"The Kyoto Military Region Command, as the director of this Northwest Military Exercise, is responsible for the overall coordination of the battle situation."
"That's roughly the situation. You told me that our superiors want us to send a troop to join the war. The departure time is mid-August, which is only half a month away."
"What are we going to fight with?"
"How can we complete the so-called three-month period you mentioned?"
Luo Yaowu is worthy of being a former chief of staff. He speaks clearly and logically, and can describe the current situation clearly in just a few words.
Chen Mo swallowed quietly.
After all, he didn't expect that the higher-ups would make such an arrangement. There was no doubt that the military region regarded the 200 people who were undergoing closed training at the base as the main force that could go to the battlefield.
However, these 200 people are only deployed in a battalion-level unit as a command hub to ensure close cooperation in joint operations.
There is still fun to play in a group.
If we were to go to such a large-scale battlefield, who knows what kind of troops we would encounter?
There are too many uncertainties.
Chen Mo gritted his teeth, trying his best to appear ready for a decisive battle, and said, "Commander, this time the military district is asking us to deploy a unit, so there's no room for reversal, right?"
"nonsense!"
Luo Yaowu cursed: "Do you think the higher-ups are joking with you?"
"There's still room for maneuver. Without your big talk, there would be room. Who's talking to you about room for maneuver now?"
"Then we'll temporarily form a reinforced battalion. It needs artillery, engineers, infantry, tanks, armored vehicles, howitzers, drones, anti-aircraft guns, radar, and early warning equipment. We can't form a unit that's too large, so a reinforced battalion should be enough."
Chen Mo spoke a series of words according to the scale of the combined battalion in later generations, as if he was reading a menu.
This statement about him.
The teachers in the conference room were not surprised at all, because the Blue Army Camp in the previous experiment also had these.
However, when it came time to test combat effectiveness, each unit acted like a joke, running around everywhere, and the battalion-level command was simply unable to handle such a large-scale joint command.
In previous experiments, even if people were sent up at the regimental level, let alone the battalion level, there was no way to command comprehensively, let alone take advantage of information technology. It was simply nonsense.
Look how confident Chen Mo is.
Luo Yaowu shook his head slightly. "It's pointless to organize it. It's completely disorganized. Besides, as a cadet with a red plate rank, you're not allowed to participate in large-scale exercises."
"Do you want me to go to court-martial with you?"
"The rank issue is easy to solve." Zhang Jinnan, who had been sitting there in silence for a while, suddenly said, "We can grant him the rank of lieutenant right now. It's just right to apply for him in the same batch as the graduates from the academy."
"We still have time. The problem is, Lao Luo, you're right. It's easy to form an army, but the problem is, what can we do with it once we've formed one?"
"If we were to participate in an exercise in the northwest and were to be defeated by a unit of the same strength, we would be the ones to be embarrassed."
"You have to try, Chief."
When Chen Mo heard that he could be promoted to lieutenant and that it could be awarded right away, he no longer hesitated.
Put the documents in your hand on the desk.
He raised his hand and saluted, "Commander, you should know that the qualities most valued on the battlefield are calmness, rationality, analysis, and insight."
"We have people from the reconnaissance company here, including reconnaissance platoon leaders and company commanders. We don't lack them."
"Also, if we're forming a troop, we can select from the 7th Armored Brigade. The 2nd Armored Battalion will serve as the main battalion, and we can borrow engineer platoons, infantry companies, artillery companies, and anti-aircraft machine gun companies from other units to form a reinforced battalion."
"The troops of the old Seventh Division have experienced actual combat, and the cadres are familiar with each other. Half a month is enough for the commander."
Chen Mo's tone was firm.
Because he knew that when it came to exercises, although Zhang Jinnan held a high position, he was more inclined to listen to Luo Yaowu's opinions.
No matter what, Director Luo, who was a division-level chief of staff, has absolute authority in fighting.
What's more, Chen Mo deliberately brought up the Seventh Division in order to impress Director Luo.
“Chief!!”
Chen Mo took a step forward and looked at Luo Yaowu.
Half an hour passed.
Director Luo nodded, stood up and said, "Let's try it for now. I know the Second Battalion."
"Go, notify everyone to hold a general meeting. We've been in class for two months, it's time to take everyone out for a walk."
"Old Zhang, please inform the academy and promote Chen Mo to the rank of lieutenant. I will be in charge this time. Let him gain some experience from the people around him."
"Since the military district has asked us to go, then let's go."
"Also, Chen Mo."
"arrive!!"
"After the meeting, come with me to the Seventh Brigade Headquarters. I want to see if the Second Battalion still has the ability to take up arms and mount a horse."
"Yes, Chief!"
Chen Mo saluted again, then turned around and strode out of the meeting room.
He is going to notify people to gather.
Lieutenant, the battlefield, this day has finally arrived.
