Chapter 219: Simulated Battle Situation, This is the Real End of War
Seeing the convoy getting closer, Chen Mo walked to the camp gate and ordered people to lift the obstacles.
Wang Jianyong took out the command flag from the sentry post, waved the flag for the convoy, and guided the team into the camp.
The distance was too far just now, so I couldn't see it clearly.
Now, as the convoy drove into the camp one after another, Chen Mo roughly counted the convoy of horn-shaped vehicles, which amounted to more than 30 vehicles, and most of them were equipped with vehicle-mounted drones.
A small half was transporting some equipment.
After the convoy stopped by the curb, the doors opened with a click, and teams of soldiers wearing helmets got out and quickly gathered.
There were about nineteen soldiers firing the flares. They all looked thin and not tall, generally around 1.6 to 1.7 meters tall.
The military uniforms were all worn out in a grayish hue, and their original colors could not be seen, giving a sense of the vicissitudes of a long journey.
Watching the large group of people gather.
Chen Mo was also very interested. He had rarely seen special forces before. In the era of the seven military regions, each military region had trained special forces, which were known as the elite special forces brigade among the aces.
Each had its own history and believed in the Laoshan spirit. Later, they were merged into five major war zones and believed in the Tashan spirit. The era of the seven military regions came to an end.
Xiangjian, also known as the Eastern Divine Sword, is a special brigade under the Kyoto Military Region. It has a very loud reputation, but if you really compare them, they are only ranked seventh.
It’s just that because it was established early, there were more battles.
Based on this ranking, we can see how powerful the ace elite troops of each major military region are. In the semi-mechanized and mechanized era, they all risked their lives.
Chen Mo was staring intently.
After the formation was completed, one of the soldiers who looked like a cadre strode forward.
Seeing that Chen Mo had the rank of lieutenant, he thought about the introduction of the information battalion organization in the military district's transfer documents.
The other party recognized Chen Mo at a glance.
"Hello, comrade. Are you Captain Chen? My name is Wang Jianbin, Captain of the Second Electronic Countermeasures Team. Nice to meet you."
Wang Jianbin first saluted, and then extended his hand warmly.
"Hello, my name is Chen Mo."
Chen Mo returned the greeting and politely extended his hand to shake hands with the other party.
"Captain Wang, this shouldn't be your first time dealing with the Information Camp, right?" Chen Mo looked him up and down and said with a smile.
He had seen the data and details of previous experiments, which recorded in detail the various participating units.
In general, just as the Army Academy leaders said during the farewell at the base, every time an experiment is conducted, the best officers and the newest weapons are transferred to use.
The candidates for the position of battalion commander were even more varied. In one experiment, Captain Wang took the position. In other cases, there were people from the army and the Army Academy. In any case, their ranks were not low.
Chen Mo's outfit this time is already the lowest configuration.
In the past, experiments were always led by the Army Academy, and it was relatively easier for the academy to apply for the mobilization of the signal arrow than for the military district chief of staff to ask for it.
"Haha, this isn't the first time." Wang Jianbin laughed and nodded. "You're welcome, Captain Chen. We all know what we need to do."
"Give us one day to install the cross-linked satellite positioning system on all tanks before dark today. After debugging, there will be absolutely no problem with tomorrow's training."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Mo raised his hand and pointed to the barracks on the west side: "There are more dormitories in this camp. Please arrange for the comrades to stay there."
"It's getting late, get some rest, and we'll start again after daybreak."
"OK!"
The two men saluted each other. Wang Jianbin walked to the front of the queue and simply counted the number of people. After explaining some things, he led the team to the dormitory.
The people who fire the whistles belong to the technical branch of the military and do technical reconnaissance work.
Professional matters should be left to professionals; they are not needed for training.
The work handover between the two parties has been completed.
Chen Mo was about to go back to the dormitory to sleep, but when he turned around, he found that Lao Wang was like a belligerent rooster, craning his neck to stare at the team firing the flares.
Looking at the posture, I really want to rush up and fight.
This is the self-esteem among the veterans. When people from the ace unit meet soldiers from the ace unit, they will consciously regard the other side as their number one rival.
Once the blood boils, I always work myself to death.
There is no way. The army cultivates bloodiness. Without this warlike gene, you cannot be a good soldier.
"Let's go, squad leader. These are soldiers specializing in electronic warfare. Most of them are specially recruited, not soldiers from combat teams. They don't belong to the same group as you."
Chen Mo raised his head and rubbed his forehead, urging with some helplessness.
"Oh, I was wondering. It doesn't look that good anyway." Wang Jianyong muttered, then asked, "Scholar, they came and said they wanted to install some kind of interconnection system. All the tanks are occupied today. How can we train?"
"A day off?"
"It's okay." Chen Mo waved his hand when he heard this: "Since the chariots are occupied, there are naturally ways to train them. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Once they are installed, you will know their specific functions."
Another day of suspension.
Grandma!!
Can't we train without a tank? You must be dreaming!
Chen Mo now wishes that all the soldiers in the battalion had bodies made of iron, so that they wouldn’t have to spend too much time on eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
How could it be suspended?
Beep——Wake up!!
At 4:50 in the morning, a low horn sounded in the corridor of the cadre dormitory.
This was someone Chen Mo specially arranged to come and wake up the cadres for a meeting.
The entire battalion did not dare to get up so early. After all, according to the rigid requirements of the training syllabus, all training troops also clearly required soldiers to get up at six o'clock.
Special matters need special treatment. Half an hour early is acceptable, but more than an hour early is too much.
But the cadres are fine, so it doesn’t matter what happens.
Anyway, they can only complain privately if they are dissatisfied. Experiments are serious business, and no one dares to give up their job at this time.
They really don't dare.
But their tempers were not much better. They had been maneuvering and training all day yesterday, and had a meeting in the evening. They had only slept for a few hours, which was very exhausting for these cadres.
It would be strange if I could be happy.
But wait until everyone comes to the conference room.
Seeing Chen Mo's dark circles, he looked more authentic than those of a national treasure. Before the meeting even started, he was already sitting at one side of the conference table, sorting through a thick stack of documents.
The group of people looked at each other, exchanged glances, and their resentment immediately disappeared by more than half.
Why are you still angry?
There is no air conditioning in the Huanglongwanggou camp, only fans. Even in the early morning of August, it is hot and stuffy and makes people uncomfortable.
Battalion Commander Chen set an example himself. He was so hot that sweat ran down his cheeks and into his neck.
Even so, they didn't even complain. What else can they say?
Everyone sat silently around the conference table, with their backs straight and eyes hazy, waiting for the meeting.
"A day's plan begins in the morning. Let's wake up and talk about two things."
Chen Mo sorted through the documents without stopping, and continued without looking up: "First, the content of today's training needs to be changed. New comrades have arrived in the camp, and all the squadrons' tanks need to undergo communication and positioning upgrades."
"Therefore, except for vehicles 141 and 142, the private use of other tanks is prohibited today."
When the cadres present heard that there was no need for coordinated training today, they immediately felt relieved.
The feeling of relaxation came over me instantly.
After all, during squad training, a company commander often has to carry several walkie-talkies, which is not possible even with the help of cadres who graduated from the academy.
After shouting all day, my head was dizzy and my voice was hoarse. Staying in a tank in the middle of summer is something that not everyone can endure.
But the next second, the cadre who had just breathed a sigh of relief froze completely before the smile on his face could spread.
Because Chen Mo sorted out the documents in his hand, the pile of papers that were so densely packed that it made people dizzy, into different categories.
They were thrown in front of the company leaders in stacks.
The smiles of the group of people froze, but the smile did not disappear, it just shifted to Chen Mo's face.
Looking at the miserable expressions of the group of people.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Secondly, I brought these documents from the base specifically. Some are records of information technology experiments, and some are research topics on mechanized warfare and coordination."
"There are many things in here that should be quite useful to you. I've sorted them into categories. Each company can take them back and memorize them. I'll conduct a random inspection tonight. Those who fail will be punished by standing outside the cafeteria for breakfast tomorrow."
"Also, the drones have arrived. The reconnaissance company needs to speed up their learning process. The second battalion's armored troop transfers must also be handled as soon as possible."
"Today we will have to finalize the situation regarding the tanks and personnel. We don't have much time left."
"As for the soldiers, we'll be conducting a large number of combat simulations today. For no other reason than to ensure the entire battalion maintains the standards of coordinated, orderly operation, and rapid mobility, we can only optimize and hone our skills over and over again."
"What happened yesterday, the low-level mistakes made by the Second Battalion and the Medical Team, I hope will not happen again in the future."
"Otherwise, let me be frank. If anyone causes trouble again, or if anyone is careless or deliberately does something bad, you will have to go back and explain yourself to the head of your unit."
"If there's nothing else, disband!"
Chen Mo yawned and sat up straight, staring at a group of cadres who had gathered together.
He wanted to see if these people had any good suggestions.
But at this time, who would want to talk nonsense with him?
Damn it, just these few words, is it worth waking someone up early in the morning to give them a notice?
No matter how angry you are, no one wants to feel uncomfortable. It's not just that the new battalion commander is too sharp-tongued and too ruthless.
Moreover, the deputy battalion commander and the instructor were both colonels in the general staff department. When the two of them sat together, they looked like a military patrol.
His eyes were getting bigger and bigger.
Who dares to explode?
After hesitating for a while and seeing that the meeting was really about to end, everyone reluctantly got up and left, holding the documents.
Wait until most people have left.
Chen Mo stood up and yawned again, then turned back to the dormitory and continued to take a nap.
The meeting is a rule and must be carried out regardless of whether there is anything to do or not. This is because the people who make the firecrackers come over and we cannot arrange today's training.
If it were in the past, it would never have ended so easily.
Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep.
At six o'clock in the morning, accompanied by a sharp whistle for emergency assembly.
In Huanglongwanggou, all the soldiers of the company were awakened. Before departure, the new battalion commander required them to undergo combat readiness physical training, one of which was to carry a load of 20 kilograms and run five kilometers within 23 minutes.
Every single one of you in the camp, whether you are in a combat unit or logistics, whether you are a company commander or a platoon leader, must participate.
In this situation, even if there is no strict requirement of being kicked out if the task is not completed, these companies dare not be negligent.
Damn it, they are all elites from various troops, who would be afraid of whom?
In the dormitory, the soldiers jumped directly from their beds to the ground and put on their clothes quickly and neatly. Under the constant urging of the squad leader, they performed the movements efficiently, tensely and orderly.
Artillery, armored troops, mechanized infantry, infantry, and even aviation troops were all rushing out.
Ding ding bang bang!!
The sound of combat boots in the corridor exploded like thunder, forming a continuous sound. The whole process, whether it was gathering or going to the warehouse to collect combat equipment and increase the weight, was done by running.
Looking down from mid-air, the camouflage formation of the soldiers looked like a giant green python moving.
Five minutes later.
All company soldiers and cadres arrived at the camp training ground one after another.
At this time, Chen Mo was already standing on the flag-raising platform, holding a loudspeaker, with his hands behind his back in a rather ostentatious manner, watching the teams of soldiers gather.
"Report, the tank company has assembled. 52 people are expected to arrive, and 52 people are present!!"
"Report, the medical team has assembled. 16 people were expected, and 16 people are present."
"Report."
“.”
Roars exploded in the training ground.
After everyone finished reporting, the 19 people who came with the firecrackers gathered in the crowd and shouted reports.
Chen Mo nodded. He picked up the loudspeaker and called out "Hello, hello, hello". After trying a few times, he pointed to his backpack.
"Comrades, no more words!"
"Today is August 3rd. The commander has given us orders to officially head to the Northwest battlefield on August 8th."
"We only have five days left. Early this morning, a group of comrades from the Kyoto Military Region's Arrow Battalion arrived to install new communication and positioning systems on our tanks."
"So, today we won't be practicing coordination, but simulating combat situations anytime and anywhere."
"From now on, no one, including me, should talk about how brave we were in the past. Let's show our true abilities and see who we are."
"Warfare requires, first and foremost, sufficient physical fitness. Without this, you wouldn't even be qualified to be a deserter on the battlefield."
"Carry 20 kilograms of weight, five kilometers, and complete it all within 23 minutes. If anyone fails to complete it, I will not give you a hard time today. You will have to take care of your own business."
"At the entrance of the cafeteria, I squatted for four hours, accompanied by my direct supervisor."
"Comrades, do you have the courage to challenge me?"
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
On the training ground, roars came from various companies.
If the private requirement is to carry 20 kilograms and run 5 kilometers in 23 minutes, many soldiers will probably have doubts.
After all, this standard is not low.
But if this is brought up at the conference, no one will back down.
"good!"
Chen Mo nodded: "Except for the comrades from Xiangjian who need to be busy with system installation, they don't need to participate in the training and simulated combat situation."
"Everyone else, please prepare in one minute."
"Wait for the whistle to blow and set off."
Chen Mo hung the loudspeaker on his backpack. In order to show that he was not lazy or cheating, and to boost morale, he also handed his backpack to many soldiers for inspection.
It’s definitely twenty kilograms.
One minute of preparation time is not long, so some companies took advantage of this time to hold separate meetings to encourage each other.
Some companies adopt a free-range model and warm up on their own.
The soldiers of the Blue Army Camp came from different units, and the atmosphere was already lively before morning exercises even started.
When the people in the reconnaissance company knew that the signal arrows were coming, Cheng Dong even put his hands behind his back and ran to the gathering place, circling around and observing.
I don’t know what our company commander saw.
Beep!!
The whistle blew.
The entire camp was in riot, and countless soldiers rushed out like a flood. Fortunately, the Huanglongwanggou camp was large enough to easily accommodate thousands of people.
Each company rushed forward in four columns, holding their company flags.
It was originally a morning exercise for individual soldiers, but it was forcibly turned into a collective activity on a company scale.
The roars, the thumping of footsteps, and the fluttering of flags in the wind all came together.
The reconnaissance company had the most organized team and charged the fastest. More than a dozen people from the firecracker team also participated. However, the soldiers in this electronic warfare team were indeed a little lacking in physical fitness.
Compared with ordinary companies, there is certainly no problem. In addition, with fewer people, the team can be deployed quickly and rush to the same level as the reconnaissance company in the first time.
But in terms of numbers, the people led by Captain Wang are still inferior to the reconnaissance company.
Cheng Dong was so happy about this discovery that he carried the flag himself and rushed forward shouting.
Chen Mo was not willing to fall behind.
He was in a separate team, led by Wang Jianyong, and the other two followed on the side of the team.
The entire Blue Army Camp watched their battalion commander run faster than most soldiers, which completely aroused the competitive spirit of some veterans.
Everyone broke away from the team and sprinted forward, and the entire camp was filled with roars.
Chen Mo used to work very hard, and few people could outrun him, but at that time he was a private and could only express himself in this way.
It all depends on that determination.
Now, he no longer needs these, and his strength will be more or less compromised.
But that is not something that any random soldier can surpass.
After the entire morning exercise, in terms of personal performance, Chen Mo can definitely be ranked in the top 30.
This is within a battalion-level organization of nearly a thousand people, and is an elite company selected from various units.
It is definitely an achievement that can impress all the soldiers.
In the morning.
Chen Mo took his deputy battalion commander Gao Jin with him, and the two of them set out to the logistics department to apply for ammunition and fuel.
Now that the firecrackers have arrived, the subsequent training will definitely get serious.
Without ammunition and fuel reserves, we cannot support the operation of such a large battalion.
Many soldiers in the camp watched the new battalion commander leave with their own eyes. They thought they could relax and not be so tense anymore.
But facts soon proved that they were overthinking it.
At 7:30 in the morning, the soldiers were sitting in the cafeteria eating breakfast and replenishing their energy.
Suddenly, a series of emergency whistles were heard in the camp.
Immediately following.
Someone yelled at the entrance to the cafeteria: "Emergency air situation, armed helicopters are operating in anti-infrared mode, move out as soon as possible to protect the tanks from bombing camouflage and evasion!!"
Listening to the requirements of the emergency air situation.
The soldier who was eating felt his scalp tingling.
Damn it, he was eating. In order to facilitate training, the parking lot of the Blue Army Camp was arranged on the wasteland outside the camp.
It’s several kilometers away from the camp.
Is there enough time for an emergency air situation?
A non-commissioned officer, who was drinking porridge, was so angry that he started cursing and the hot porridge flowed down the corners of his mouth.
There were also a few cadres who were eating eggs and chatting happily. When they heard the words "emergency air situation", they choked on the egg yolks and rolled their eyes.
There were also those with bad tempers who yelled "Ah" and slammed the steamed bun in their hands heavily on the table.
Flattened a round bun.
Such a big commotion made everyone around look forward to this hot-tempered cadre going to argue with the people in the battalion headquarters.
Even if we have a fight, we can just have a quiet meal afterward.
However, no matter how angry he was, the old cadre who slammed the table stuffed the flat bun into his mouth the next second.
While standing up and chewing, he shouted, "Hurry up, what are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear that we need to camouflage our equipment?"
"What are you waiting for?"
A soldier nearby was stunned: "Company Commander, aren't you smashing the steamed buns because you're angry that the airstrike is unreasonable?"
"anger?"
"Who's angry? Smashing the buns is just to make swallowing easier. Stop wasting time, we're training."
As soon as he finished speaking, the company commander jumped faster than an old rabbit and led everyone in the cafeteria to rush out.
Do you think that's the end of it?
No, no, no, although Chen Mo is gone, the instructor is still here. He is an old staff officer of the military district’s general staff.
Regardless of whether it works in other places, the tricks of simulating battle situations have never scared anyone away.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Some companies were resting, while in others the company commanders were explaining battlefield cases to the entire company with the information distributed by Chen Mo in the morning.
This guy is only halfway through his speech.
The broadcast in the camp suddenly sounded.
"Emergency war situation, the M army has launched a war against us, combatants please quickly take up your posts!!!"
Upon hearing this noise, the entire camp was instantly filled with all kinds of angry curses.
The camp is several kilometers away from the parking lot. Who can resist running there all the time?
But there's no use scolding.
At twelve o'clock noon, after a period of peace and quiet, the soldiers from each company were preparing to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
The familiar broadcast voice sounded again.
"Emergency war situation, radioactive weapons leak, all personnel please quickly prepare for chemical defense."
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
They said there was a lunch break, but the soldiers just waited for a long time, came back to eat, and then lay down on the bed.
That damn radio is on again.
"Emergency situation. Enemy B2 bombers will drop bombs in half an hour. Everyone, please prepare for evasion immediately."
"Hold!"
anger!
A group of exhausted soldiers, cursing, dressed, got up, and ran to the artillery field again.
Do you know why only during the first battle situation did someone stand at the cafeteria door and shout, while subsequent battle situations were uniformly announced through broadcasts?
Then I'm really afraid of being beaten.
No one would be in a good mood if they were tormented like this.
Amidst waves of cursing, the Blue Army Battalion gathered again.
The other companies are relatively good.
The worst off was the medical team. Whenever there was a combat simulation, there would be wounded. After a whole day, those timid and physically weak female soldiers were almost driven crazy.
After all, no one can bear to carry a stretcher for several kilometers at any time.
In order to train their courage, Chen Mo even planned to relocate the wounded to a nearby barren hillside, preferably where there were graves.
Simulate a battle situation at night and let the medical team carry it.
As a military doctor, how can you be timid and have poor psychological endurance?
It must be trained as soon as possible.
The people in the camp were all suffering in dire straits.
But Chen Mo, who set out to the logistics department to request ammunition and fuel, also had a hard time.
How can it be so easy?
He spoke ill of the logistics department in front of the military district chief of staff, and the logistics minister also had a star on his head.
In this case.
Even if the logistics department won't block it openly, it will still be this guy who is making trouble behind the scenes.
It's always okay to suffer a little.
