Chapter 221: Assault and confrontation, it all depends on who is more evil.
August 4th.
At the training ground outside Huanglongwanggou, after a morning of coordinated team training, the result was still a mess.
The cross-linked satellite positioning system is really powerful. It can locate the positions of all tanks and also enable the entire battalion to issue commands using different channels.
For example, there is one channel for maneuver commands and another channel for fire control commands. With the help of Xiangjian technical reconnaissance personnel, switching channels is no problem.
Unfortunately, the adaptability of the battalion commanders was too poor.
There were frequent communication conflicts during the training period. After each company was divided into more than 20 teams, the order issuance was as chaotic as in a vegetable market.
Not only were the soldiers of each team confused, even Chen Mo was equally confused, causing all the teams to stop and go for the entire morning, burning a lot of fuel.
There was no tacit understanding at all.
It is no exaggeration to say that after the companies were split into teams according to coordinated formations, their combat effectiveness was not as good as before the split.
There is no way to collaborate.
Even if there were a group of trainee officers who graduated from the Army Academy and were busy making corrections, it would be basically meaningless.
Around noon.
While the soldiers were being brought back and going to the canteen to eat, Chen Mo ran to the bathroom to wash his face. He returned to the camp office with a tired look on his face, holding his hat in his hand.
He slumped in the chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples.
Wang Jianyong brought the boiled water that had been left out for most of the day to the desk, and then he sat on the sofa beside him with a sad face.
As Xiucai's temporary orderly, Lao Wang could see that this so-called information experiment was not something that ordinary people could handle.
At first, he always thought that even a scholar could do this job, so it shouldn't be too difficult. It was just that the scholar was lucky and got a good job.
But this time when we arrived at Huanglongwanggou, equipment was like free, being brought here in batches. The ammunition and fuel were transported by the transport platoon of the battalion with great effort.
The technicians were busy as a top.
But the training effect is getting worse and worse, and it is not as calm as before when fighting with the 188th Division.
Especially the scholar, he always looks confident when he is outside. He may curse people, but he always appears to be confident.
But when he came back, his whole spirit and energy changed.
He frowned and often lay in a chair, not saying a word for an hour.
In Wang Jianyong's impression, Xiucai is not such a gloomy person.
"Well, Battalion Commander," Wang Jianyong hesitated for a moment before finally speaking: "We've disbanded the company and reorganized it into squadrons. Did we take the wrong path?"
"The road is correct."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo immediately stopped rubbing his temples, picked up the white porcelain jar next to him, and gulped down a few mouthfuls of boiled water.
He let out a long sigh and said, "We don't have time for routine training anymore. We'll transition directly to coordinated confrontation starting this afternoon."
"Divide the entire battalion into three teams, A, B, and C. I'll lead Team A, and let the company commander and Captain Liu lead Teams B and C. We'll just have to conduct frequent drills and actual combat simulations."
"Commanders should change more frequently so that everyone can adapt as quickly as possible."
"Oh, squad leader, call Liang Pai over and bring the logistics collection form."
“Okay!!”
Wang Jianyong agreed and left the office with an aluminum lunch box.
It was lunchtime at this time.
Looking at Chen Mo's attitude, he probably won't go to the cafeteria to eat. As an orderly, he watched Chen Mo enter the camp and grow step by step from a recruit to today's Lao Wang.
He has a strong sense of responsibility and feels that as a veteran, he has an obligation to take good care of Xiucai.
About ten minutes later.
Logistics company commander Liang Hongjie came to the office sweating profusely. He fanned himself by pulling his shirt while handing the logistics collection form to Chen Mo.
"Old Chen, this is the detailed list of supplies received by the transport platoon from yesterday afternoon to this morning."
"The logistics department has already left for Qingtongxia in advance. They're going to take a look first on behalf of the military district and us."
"Well, building warehouses and the like require the operation of the logistics department. We can't do it, so let's go."
Chen Mo nodded and picked up the report to take a look.
Just this one glance made Chen Mo stand there in a daze.
He admitted that he was occasionally a bit cunning and always asked for exorbitant amounts of money when applying for supplies.
But unexpectedly, he really met his match this time.
Yesterday I went to the logistics department to apply for more than 200 three-proof laptops. This number is actually as nonsense as 3,000 tons of oil. I just filled it out to get more money from the logistics department.
I didn’t expect that Minister Sun, such a high-ranking leader, would dare to bargain so much.
There are more than 200 units, let alone cutting them in half or two-thirds, there is not even a fraction of them left.
There are only six in total, and the application form also indicates that one of them was transferred from the General Staff Headquarters. It broke down without time for repair and cannot be used normally at all.
Even this was forced upon me.
"Depend on!!"
Chen Mo, who was always polite, couldn't help but curse when he saw the application form, and his eyes widened: "Isn't this old man too evil?"
"There are more than 20 teams. We don't need to have one for every squad, but at least one for each team will do."
"They only gave us six computers, and one of them was broken. Two hundred people are supposed to use just one computer?"
Chen Mo cursed loudly. His mood at the moment was exactly the same as that of a certain teacher who applied for shoes.
But the difference is that the teacher can afford the shoes that others applied for, but Chen Mo can't afford this triple-proof notebook now. It would be difficult for him to buy one with five years' salary.
What's more, there is no channel for individuals to purchase this kind of military supplies.
When Liang Hongjie heard the angry scolding, he raised his hand and scratched his head embarrassedly. It was normal for the logistics department to hold up supplies.
Being stuck to this extent is indeed quite dark.
In some ways, he, as the company commander of logistics, also has to bear some responsibility.
"That. Battalion Commander."
"fine!!"
Without waiting for Liang Pai to continue, Chen Mo waved his hand: "I didn't expect to get much for this thing, but I didn't expect them to be so stingy."
"Platoon Liang, transfer these five devices to the people at Xiangjian. Let them work on the military modeling. Leave the digital ruler work to them."
"When practicing assault confrontations, we need to be more detailed about troop deployment, equipment performance, and command procedures."
"We'll fight against each other during the day, and at night, let these teams watch and study carefully, and strive to become familiar with this coordinated fighting style as quickly as possible."
"Also, tell our company commander and Captain Liu to give the soldiers an hour's rest this afternoon. At two o'clock, have them each lead several teams and move to the open area west of the camp to set up camp."
"No more coordinated running-in, let's go straight to the second phase of actual combat simulation."
"Tell them both that this actual combat doesn't involve many twists and turns. The main focus is to destroy the enemy's manpower."
"Go!"
"yes!"
Liang Hongjie straightened his chest and quickly left the office.
This was the first assault confrontation, and Chen Mo had no plans to hold any pre-war meetings or formally deploy combat missions.
Because even if it is deployed, it is difficult for the two of them to really execute it, so it is better to let them play freely.
I led Team A by myself and completely broke up Team B and Team C, which were led by two people. I gave them a painful beating and I could also learn a lot from following my own cadres.
The captain of the troops can also learn some lessons from failure.
after all.
No company commander or battalion commander would be willing to keep losing. When they are embarrassed, they will naturally become more concerned and think about how to defeat themselves.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The armored group, led by the Type 96 tank, gathered together with a roar.
Subject: Blue Army Battalion Coordinated Assault Counterattack.
Location: Field training ground.
Teams: A/B/C.
Organization: With all the companies of the Blue Army Battalion as the core.
Commander: Chen Mo/Cheng Dong/Liu Hongyun.
Time: Two hours.
On the field training ground, Chen Mo watched the two commanders lead their most familiar teams and maneuver towards the distance.
After all the companies in the battalion were disbanded, they were divided into 27 squads. The organization of these squads was not completely consistent. Some armored vehicle groups would be mainly tanks, supplemented by infantry and artillery vehicles.
For rocket launcher crews, they should be equipped with a small number of tanks, mainly to provide logistical assistance and build artillery positions.
Cheng Dong is from the reconnaissance company. If he is asked to lead the squad, he will definitely choose the mechanized infantry crew with the fastest maneuverability and that the reconnaissance company is capable of.
As the commander of the Second Tank Battalion, Liu Hongyun must take the armored group with him.
Watching the two teams go in different directions and leave in a hurry.
All the cadres of Group A led by Chen Mo gathered quietly and stood in front of the new battalion commander, intending to listen to the next battle plan.
After all, even if the firepower of the two groups was different, they still accounted for two-thirds of the firepower of the entire battalion.
Is this new battalion commander really confident that he can defeat others?
Cheng Dong and Liu Hongyun are both senior cadres. They may not be very good in information technology, but when it comes to fighting, they are quite capable.
Just when everyone was worried about whether this coordinated assault would be effective and how it would be carried out.
Chen Mo's face was full of confidence.
Not only did he not issue a battle plan, he also took out a cigarette from his pocket, threw one to everyone present, and started smoking leisurely.
Look at how calm the battalion commander is.
Hu Xueyan, the rocket artillery company commander, frowned and said, "Battalion Commander, aren't we going to deploy a battle plan?"
"If they arrive at the designated location and hear the order to start the war, they will probably lead their troops to attack us directly."
"Can't we just be defenseless?"
"No rush."
Chen Mo smiled slightly when he heard that.
He ignored Captain Hu and turned to look at Wang Jianyong beside him, saying with a smile, "Squad Leader Wang."
"arrive!"
"What are the characteristics of our reconnaissance company commander?"
Features?
Wang Jianyong was stunned for a moment before realizing that Chen Mo was asking about his personality. He responded without hesitation, "Report, the company commander is stubborn and competitive."
"That's right."
Chen Mo smiled.
"People who are competitive and aggressive usually won't be content to hide in a command vehicle on the battlefield. They'll definitely like to hang around nearby."
"Plus, Captain Cheng has been leading the reconnaissance company for years, so he is particularly sensitive to the terrain."
As he spoke, Chen Mo took out a map from the car next to him and spread it on the trunk lid.
He pulled a pencil from his pocket, circled an area on the map, and said, "Most of the troops the company commander has are mechanized infantry units with strong mobility. He'll definitely set up camp in the 331 area and try to flank us."
"We've been around this area several times. Take a sniper rifle and take advantage of the fact that the battle hasn't started yet and the teams are unguarded. Take the high ground in advance and, ideally, sneak into the team."
"As soon as you hear the command to start the exercise and see the company commander show his face, shoot him."
Holy crap!!!
When Wang Jianyong heard that Xiucai asked him to kill the company commander, he was immediately shocked.
With Cheng Dong's bad temper, if he really succeeds in breaking down, I will definitely skin him alive when we meet again.
Although he knew that the company commander was not someone to be trifled with, Wang Jianyong didn't know why, but he felt a flame beating continuously in his chest.
He lost control and started looking for a gun everywhere.
Wang Jianyong had an impression of the 331 area. The mechanized infantry group had strong mobility and was not afraid of complex terrain. This area happened to be full of gullies and mountains.
It is difficult to approach the armored group and the artillery group easily, which is indeed in line with the camping method of Group B led by Cheng Dong.
Moreover, the vegetation is lush in the summer.
If you ambush nearby before the battle starts, or take the opportunity to sneak in, you may actually succeed.
"How about it, do you want to do it?" Chen Mo looked at Wang Jianyong with a smile.
Old Wang was determined to do it. He took off his hat, stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and said through gritted teeth, "I will resolutely obey the battalion commander's orders."
After saying that, Wang Jianyong drove away with the gun in his hand without even looking back.
Even if there is a reckoning later, he is just following the scholar's orders, so he has some justification.
"Just let him go alone?" asked Captain Hu of the rocket artillery company in astonishment.
"In war, there is often no need to act recklessly." Chen Mo responded meaningfully.
Then he looked at Hu Xueyan and said, "Captain Hu, you've known Captain Liu of Team C for quite some time. What do you think of Liu Hongyun's characteristics?"
"If we were to describe Lao Liu's characteristics, they'd probably be cautious and insidious."
Hu Xueyan showed no mercy and commented directly: "Anyway, I don't think he is a good person."
"That's right."
Chen Mo nodded in agreement. It was incredible that in this era, without any academic qualifications, and even as a soldier led by a veteran, he could step by step become a battalion commander.
How could he not be capable?
What's more, Chen Mo had read many records of the 7th Armored Brigade's previous exercises. Based on the previous performance of the 2nd Battalion alone, he could almost figure out the combat style of its commander.
He also took the map and pointed to area 323: "This time, three teams will attack from different directions."
"Captain Liu's armored unit is good at frontal assaults, but lacks mobility. Captain Cheng's mechanized infantry unit, on the other hand, is highly mobile and suitable for attacking us from the flank."
"With these two people making this choice, I guess Captain Liu will contact Group B immediately. The two groups will jointly attack our Group A, and then decide the outcome with Group B."
"And the best place nearby for them to meet is 323."
"Captain Hu."
"arrive!"
"Pick up some of your men and assign them to temporary engineering positions. They'll be camouflaged and hidden on the 323rd front line, setting up minefields and waiting for the two teams to reunite there."
"yes!"
Hu Xueyan agreed, but hesitated and did not move. He stared at the map carefully for a few seconds before saying, "Battalion Commander, the 323 terrain is indeed the best meeting point."
"But areas 317 and 336 also meet the requirements of secondary tactical convergence points. What if the main forces of their two teams don't go to 323? Wouldn't our deployment be meaningless?"
"Humph, you have to go even if you don't want to."
Chen Mo tapped the map with his hand. "Given Captain Liu and Captain Cheng's cunning personalities and their dirty tricks, there's really no need to go to the optimal rendezvous point if they want to break their plan."
"But it doesn't matter. Arrange drones and armed helicopters to patrol over areas 317 and 336 and drive them both to position 323."
"You want to unite? Unite! Everyone, assume the highest combat readiness posture, take up your respective positions, and prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Team A will win!!"
Chen Mo shouted to cheer up the remaining teams.
The soldiers in the rear didn't hear what was said here at all, they only heard the words "victory is certain".
I also shouted along.
But after shouting, Chen Mo just got into the command vehicle and did not issue any maneuvering instructions.
Because this time the entire Blue Army camp was divided into three groups, it was not that his group had to defeat the other two groups.
It's about who has the last laugh.
Given the bird-like nature of Cheng Dong and Liu Hongyun, even if they want to unite and cooperate, they will exchange the communication codes between the two teams.
But before that, the two teams have to conduct some firepower test.
We are all veterans, and we all understand the principle of using deception in war.
The three commanders will be wary of each other, and if given the opportunity, they will be the first to absorb all the firepower of the other side.
To unite, you must have enough strength to ensure the union.
What's more, on the battlefield, apart from our own people, the only friendly forces that have been injured in battle are the best allies.
If you don’t understand this, you would never have gotten to where you are today.
So Chen Mo was not in a hurry.
When he was trying to find a way to secretly deal with those two people, the other party must have been doing something bad behind his back.
It all depends on who is more evil.
