Chapter 223: The Chief of Staff was furious. Is this a drama that has come to my head?
Just ten minutes.
With their communications blocked, Group B and Group C's main forces were almost completely depleted.
If we gather the team at this time and go back to fight with Group A again, we will definitely have the ability to fight.
But, that's not necessary.
The two sides were beaten like this without even the main forces meeting each other. Even if the teams were gathered together, it would be difficult to find the main force of Group A to counterattack in a short period of time.
During the maneuver, who knows how the scholar will deal with him, and then he will lose even more miserably.
The edge of the minefield.
Cheng Dong and Liu Hongyun squatted together. They witnessed with their own eyes how Group A disrupted the situation after their side reunited and ceased fighting, and how they used information technology.
Force them into the minefield step by step.
Captain Liu was a little better. He led Group C and organized several resistances. Cheng Dong was so depressed that he almost couldn't breathe.
What the hell is going on?
The soldiers he trained were sent by a scholar, who sniped the commander with a single shot from a distance of dozens of meters.
Cheng Dong has been in the army for so many years, but he has never been so embarrassed.
"Damn it, traitor, damn it, I'll skin him alive when I get back."
Cheng Dong bit his cigarette holder fiercely. After a long while, the strong-willed company commander's eyes turned a little bleak and said, "What should we do, Lao Liu? We both lost."
Liu Hongyun, who was squatting next to him, heard this and turned his head to look at his tanks. There were nine armored groups and twenty-seven heavy tanks.
If the Blue Army Battalion had not increased the number of tanks, this would have been the total firepower of the original two battalions.
It is also the entire heavy equipment of the Blue Army Camp.
In the end, we lost so completely.
If we really compare who is unlucky, he is much unlucky than Cheng Dong. After all, he is the battalion commander of a tank battalion and is good at commanding armored warfare.
Cheng Dong is just a scout company commander who is good at leading light infantry.
Old Liu puffed out two streams of smoke from his nostrils and said anxiously, "What else can we do? I'm wondering if we'll also be pulled to the front of the line and punished by standing."
"Damn it, losing isn't shameful, but being punished by standing is truly shameful."
Cheng Dong thought for a moment and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I brought up Xiucai. I know his personality best. Just change your 'will you' to 'yes'. Expect that bastard to let you off. No way."
"Fuck, you still have the nerve to say that you brought these soldiers with you?"
Liu Hongyun stood up cursing, threw away the cigarette butt, and called on the soldiers in the rear to count the number of people as soon as possible and prepare to return.
He and Cheng Dong couldn't delay any longer.
During a war, they have no control over communications. When communications can be used and when they cannot be used depends entirely on the mood of Group A.
Now that the notice has come, I don’t have the nerve to waste time on it.
However, this time Captain Liu and Cheng Dong really wronged Xiucai.
The two returned to Group A's location by car.
It was discovered that the team and all the cadres in Group A had hardly moved.
In the battlefield tent in the distance, Chen Mo stood there with his back straight as a javelin, and other company and platoon-level cadres were lined up.
Watching the two of them return.
Chen Mo waved his hand: "Captain Liu, Company Commander, the meeting is about to begin."
“Hey!”
Liu Hongyun and Cheng Dong looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then quickly joined the cadre queue.
Chen Mo glanced at the team and grinned, "Tell me, our Blue Army Battalion just organized the first coordinated assault training."
"I don't think it's necessary to repeat how I played, nor do I need to deliberately review it."
"Because winning or losing isn't important, over the next few days, we'll conduct multiple coordinated assaults during the day, each lasting two hours, starting in the early morning and continuing into the evening."
"During the day, all cadres reflect on their experiences. At night, they hold meetings to review and summarize the day's combat experience. Soldiers from each unit watch the military modeling for training."
"Time is tight right now, so this is the only arrangement."
"Today is already the 4th. Excluding today, we only have three days left before departure."
"Comrades, I won't stress any more than that. We've been stressing it too much lately."
"In preparation for the Northwest, no one should let down their guard at this stage."
"Okay, everyone."
"I'll give you half an hour. After half an hour, continue to divide into three groups, A, B, and C, to conduct coordinated assault training."
"I have always been the leader of Group A, and the other two groups take turns. We must learn and understand the basics of combined coordinated tactical command in the shortest possible time."
"Everyone, is this clear?"
"clear!!"
The cadres who were lining up stood at attention and responded loudly.
Many cadres did not expect that the coordinated assault would be arranged so tightly.
But the order had been given, and many cadres present knew how Cheng Dong and Liu Hongyun had lost just now.
Since Group A has the authority to locate tanks and block communications, the selected commander will be particularly cautious and adopt a faster and easier assault method.
In the process of continuous fighting.
These individuals will be familiar with the coordinated use of drones, helicopters and ground combat vehicles.
And this is also Chen Mo’s purpose.
After the meeting was disbanded.
The other cadres began to think about how to choose a team for themselves to fight with the new battalion commander. With so many people taking turns to fight, they can't always lose, right?
And Chen Mo was not idle either.
While others were busy selecting teams, he arranged for someone to bring over a large whiteboard and wrote his name and the names of all the companies and battalions under the Blue Army Battalion on it with a marker.
Then, it’s just like scheduling.
Each group has two people, who take turns following the list. Whoever wins will have a thick line drawn behind his or her name.
There is no special meaning. It is just to motivate these cadres to really think about how to fight this battle well.
The shift schedule is finished.
Chen Mo put down the marker, clapped his hands, and was about to take a few steps back to see if there was anything that needed to be corrected.
Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw Wang Jianyong driving back.
Even though Chen Mo had guessed that Lao Wang would be beaten, he didn't expect him to be beaten so badly.
That guy, a proud old scout, was beaten so badly that his forehead was covered with bumps.
The right eye socket was red, the corners of his mouth were also red, and the footprints on his body were so dark that they almost covered the original color of his military uniform.
In addition, summer is already very hot, and the sweat on his forehead flows to the corners of his mouth, and Lao Wang's lips twitch from time to time.
Chen Mo wanted to laugh, but he felt that the occasion was not appropriate, so he simply took a bottle of mineral water and a sweat band from the table next to him and threw them over.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it hurts like hell. Damn it, these bastards are so ruthless."
Wang Jianyong sat in the tent cursing, and when he drank water, he used the corner of his mouth to soak it in bit by bit.
"Come on, take a rest today."
Chen Mo smiled and didn't ask for specific details.
The reason why Wang Jianyong was arranged to go there was to snipe Cheng Dong at the beginning of the battle, causing chaos in the entire Group B and shortening the time for coordinated assault.
Of course, this is also to make the company commander somewhat cautious about the battlefield.
At present, mechanization is not yet obvious, but in the future, information-based command and information transmission will become more and more frequent.
Not to mention the danger of getting off the tank at any time, the command will not be able to keep up.
Cheng Dong is his company commander and is very confident. There are many things Chen Mo cannot say directly, so he can only rely on facts.
If he suffers a few more losses, he will be able to correct his bad habits in leading troops.
Time passes by little by little.
The information camp training in Huanglongwanggou is still going on in full swing.
However, the Qingtongxia exercise area became completely lively.
From the General Staff Headquarters in Kyoto, one directive after another was issued to the Northwest.
The Northwest military exercise, code-named Renaissance 1999, is tentatively scheduled to last for half a month. The participating troops are the 47th Group Army and the 21st Group Army of the Jincheng Military Region.
The reason given by the General Staff for participating in the exercise is to conduct a comprehensive test of the combat level of the second-phase mechanized forces.
In fact, everyone knows what this military exercise is for.
It is nothing more than conducting militarized exercises and stationing troops in the northwest, southern Guangdong and other places before the military parade to be ready for war at any time.
The code name for the Revival of 1999.
It was completed as early as February this year.
A large-scale military exercise is not as easy as imagined. More than six months ago, a city rose from the ground in the exercise area near Qingtongxia.
The oil pipeline from Jilin Oil Group transported more than 20,000 tons of military-standard diesel.
The engineering corps repaired 210 kilometers of roads, permanently secured 13 bridges, three military airports, and laid a total of 1,600 kilometers of national defense fiber optic cable lines.
The hydropower troops, in conjunction with the power grid and water network, built and laid a total of 420 high-voltage power transmission towers, and the communications troops established nearly 300 three types of signal base stations for television, telephone, and Internet.
These things were completed two months ago.
In addition, the General Staff specially selected 266 staff officers from the main combat divisions of the Kyoto Military Region to serve as the director and referee group, and mobilized 1,500 non-commissioned officers from the people who were eliminated from the original selection for the military parade to form an order maintenance group.
Field Hospital 302 and Field Hospital 307 mobilized medical personnel to form two large-scale field hospitals.
It's no exaggeration to say.
Although the number of military regions involved in this Northwest military exercise is not as many as that in southern Guangdong, its scale is definitely larger than that in southern Guangdong.
It is no exaggeration to say that this was an unprecedented mechanized exercise.
Such a large-scale investment, equivalent to an additional allocation of one-tenth of the military budget in 1999, has been burned up.
Moreover, it is still in the preparation stage and has not started yet.
This is also why Commander-in-Chief Fu of the Kyoto Military Region insisted on sending the informationized battalion to the battlefield.
Instead of experimenting and practicing on a small scale behind the scenes, it is better to put it on a large-scale battlefield and give it a try.
In previous experiments, the information battalion would be mixed with some foreign military equipment, which was somewhat inappropriate when it appeared on a large-scale battlefield.
But it doesn’t matter this time. I have my own equipment and my own system, so there’s nothing to worry about.
On the afternoon of August 6, the General Staff issued a total of 16 disciplinary orders regarding the Northwest Military Exercise.
These commands can actually be summed up in one idea.
That is, any unit or individual that violates the exercise regulations and has a significant impact on the results of the exercise will be held criminally accountable by a court composed of disciplinary departments in accordance with the Military Internal Affairs Regulations and Wartime Discipline Management Measures.
Cheating! Caught! Send everyone to military prison.
If you violate the regulations, you will be arrested and sent to a military prison.
This is why, in many rehearsal plots in TV dramas, there is a special emphasis before the dialogue: "According to the rehearsal regulations."
Large-scale exercises are indeed subject to restrictions and limitations.
Of course.
Some of the plots in the TV series are not quite right. For example, Zhuang Yan from the Wolf Fang Special Forces hid in a field hospital belonging to a neutral unit during an exercise.
This incredible scenario is simply impossible to happen in reality.
Not to mention special forces, even the most valuable pilots can't do it.
You have to know that a military exercise involving tens of thousands of people, or even 100,000 people, requires tens of thousands of support troops alone, hundreds of military and ground units to cooperate, and dozens of departments involved.
All work has been given the green light, a large amount of military funds have been spent, and after seven or eight months of hard work, we are still in the experimental period of transition from the second stage of mechanization to the third stage.
In recent years, the military has been continuously downsizing, with hundreds of thousands of people being transferred at the command of a single order. In this situation, the results of the second phase are being tested, and the seven major military regions are paying attention to it at the same time.
Not to mention Zhuang Yan's violation of discipline, even if the captain of the Langya Special Forces Brigade violated discipline, he would still be stripped of his military rank and retired.
Violation of discipline will result in certain death.
Based on this, this is why, before leaving the base, Fu Hongyi specifically instructed the Blue Army Battalion that once they go to the northwest, they must first report to the director's headquarters.
Because the Blue Army Battalion did not participate in the pre-war war game simulation, they had no script. If they started fighting randomly on the battlefield, it would cause chaos for tens of thousands of troops.
When the sound of gunfire is heard, sometimes the director's department will be confused without knowing what is going on.
Similarly, when the General Staff issues disciplinary orders, the participating troops will also receive their departure times and must set off in order.
On the morning of August 7th.
Outside the Huanglongwanggou camp, Chen Mo was leading his Group A to continue a coordinated assault with Groups B and C.
After two days of non-stop practice, review and summary, it is impossible to say that all cadres have experience in information-based synthesis teams.
But compared with before, these cadres can now mobilize drones with ease, and even command ground firepower to coordinate with air firepower.
That's fine.
At 11:15 am, Chen Mo had just finished commanding Group A and defeated the other two groups.
When he arrived at the battlefield tent, before he could even drink a sip of water, Deputy Battalion Commander Gao Jin and Political Instructor Liu Heli came running towards him in a hurry.
"Captain Chen, the Chief of Staff is here!"
"Where?" Chen Mo stood up and looked around.
On his side, he was thinking about setting off tomorrow morning, but why was there no movement from the military district?
That's good, someone finally came.
Looking at Captain Chen's eyes that were almost shining, Gao Jin was a little confused. Normally, many cadres in the army didn't want people from higher up to come over.
Why is this guy so excited?
However, despite his doubts, Deputy Battalion Commander Gao still said truthfully: "I received a notice from the military region that the commander will be here in about two or three hours."
"Two or three hours? That's enough."
Chen Mo ignored the two staff officers who came to inform him and immediately shouted to Wang Jianyong: "Squad leader, blow the whistle and call for all the cadres in the battalion to gather for a meeting."
"yes!"
Wang Jianyong agreed. He was not far from Chen Mo and had just heard the news that the chief of staff was coming.
Know that this is a big deal.
He quickly ran out of the tent, put the whistle in his mouth, and blew it with all his might.
Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep!!!
"All cadres, assemble immediately."
The desperate whistle sounded throughout the field training area. The cadres who had just finished the battle and were preparing to gather together to discuss their experiences had no time to chat.
Everyone hurried over to gather.
Seeing everyone present, Chen Mo's face was serious, and the first thing he said was: "Comrades, it's time to set off tomorrow. The military chief of staff is on his way."
Hear this.
The cadres who were lining up subconsciously straightened their bodies and waited for the next task.
The Northwest Military Exercises, the suffocating exercises that weigh on your head every day, have finally arrived.
But to everyone's surprise, Chen Mo's previous sentence was still serious, saying that the leader was coming.
The next sentence, he put his hands on his hips and said, "Everyone, tell all the soldiers to destroy the tracks of five or six tanks first, and remove the gun barrels if possible, and throw them in the most conspicuous place far away."
"Also, tell the soldiers to change into their most worn-out camouflage uniforms when they return, preferably Type 94."
"Don't be ashamed if there are holes or your butt is showing, just wear it."
"Hide the helicopters, the rocket-propelled equipment, and the drones wherever they need to be hidden. Move the towed artillery forward and the self-propelled artillery to the rear."
"Do you understand everything?"
After hearing what Chen Mo said, dozens of cadres at the scene were more confused than each other.
Depend on!
The Blue Army Battalion has so many veteran non-commissioned officers in charge of maintenance, so there are no problems with basic maintenance.
Why smash the tracks?
What's even more outrageous is that we are all wearing Type 97 camouflage now, so why should we change to Type 94?
There are some torn clothes. After training every day, whose clothes don’t have a few holes or patches?
Some soldiers would save their torn clothes and provide fabric patches for new clothes, but are those clothes still wearable?
Either the legs or the butt are exposed.
Whenever the leader of a certain unit comes to inspect, the road is paved with yellow earth and clean water is sprinkled on the streets, making it a particularly grand occasion.
This scholar was even asked to wear two types of military uniforms.
They were dressed in rags. If you knew they were part of the army, you would think they were a Beggars' Gang gathering.
"Captain Chen, the commander is here to inspect. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Anti-aircraft artillery company commander Zhang Mingjian asked with a frown.
"Am I the battalion commander or are you the battalion commander?" Chen Mo glared at him and said, "Go and execute it."
"Don't ask so many questions, just do as I say."
"Dismissed!!"
Seeing that Chen Mo said this, the other cadres didn't say anything more.
They all left to prepare.
Watching all the cadres walk away to attend the meeting to carry out the order just given, Chen Mo returned to the tent. He moved a stool over and sat down on it.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, thinking about how he would meet the leader later.
That’s right!
Other units hate inspections by their leaders because each inspection takes a long time to prepare.
But is the Blue Army Battalion another unit?
Chen Mo has been hoping that more leaders will come to the training camp recently, because every time one comes, it is a good opportunity for him to cry poor.
The Blue Army Battalion is heading to the northwest.
If we don't cry poor, who will help us arrange the railway dispatch? He is just a battalion commander and a temporary one at that. He doesn't have such great power at the moment.
Who will take care of his land mobility support?
When you arrive in the northwest and are unfamiliar with the place, how can you do without some security?
What's more, the Blue Army Camp had a green light for training this time, and was given whatever it wanted. When the exercises were not being conducted, the leaders above did not participate in the training.
They don't know how hard it is. What if they come back from fighting and someone finds fault with them, saying that they wasted too many supplies?
The purpose of performing now is to stop people from gossiping in the future.
These are the valuable experiences Chen Mo learned during his time as a confidential secretary.
Those cadres don't know anything and just talk nonsense.
About half an hour later, the Blue Army Battalion picked out several tanks and artillery vehicles and dismantled them into pieces on the outskirts.
The soldiers nearby were all more dramatic than the other.
The Type 94 camouflage and the Type 97 camouflage were mixed together, and the entire Blue Army Camp was dressed up by Chen Mo.
The veterans who were once so brave and heroic suddenly became slovenly.
The seams on some veterans' trousers were higher than those on their cheongsams.
Their clothes were all torn, with holes on the left and right. What was even more miserable was that many soldiers wore camouflage pants that could be divided into nine-point pants on the left and five-point pants on the right.
It's obvious that they really took out the best stock in the box and replaced it.
"Go, inform the kitchen staff to bring the food over here. You won't be going back to the cafeteria at noon, so just take a nap here during your lunch break."
"All squad leaders, maintain good discipline. The commander will be here for an inspection soon, so please pay attention."
Look at Chen Mo giving orders continuously.
The two colonels coming from the General Staff knocked their foreheads speechlessly. What the hell, they have been in the army for so many years, what kind of weird things have they not seen?
But a weirdo like Captain Chen is truly unique.
Around two in the afternoon.
On the highway from Jinyang to Huanglongwanggou Camp, an ordinary-looking military 211 camouflage jeep drove onto the dirt road.
"Commander, would you like to say hello to Captain Chen and Deputy Captain Gao right now?"
In the back seat of the jeep, a cadre with the rank of colonel whispered to Qin Quanan who was resting with his eyes closed.
Hear the inquiry.
Chief of Staff Qin opened his eyes and looked out the window. After identifying the route, he smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need to greet them. Let's see what this highly anticipated information battalion can accomplish."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the colonel nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The details of the Blue Army Battalion’s daily training progress will be transmitted to the military region and the staff will also review it.
I know that this battalion has not been slacking off recently and has been training quite actively.
To be honest, they are quite looking forward to coming here this time.
About ten minutes passed.
The jeep slowly drove into the outskirts of the Blue Army Camp training area. Through the car window, the colonel saw several tanks and artillery vehicles parked in the distance that were being repaired.
He originally wanted to sigh that this battalion’s training was quite fierce, even the tanks were made into this state.
But before he could open his mouth, the colonel was startled by the scene in the distance.
All the officers and soldiers in the battalion should have just woken up from their lunch break, and each company was holding a meeting.
That's not the point.
The point is that from a long distance away, you can see the soldiers in the meeting. They are wearing tattered clothes, even the Type 94 military uniforms are mixed in.
What's worse, some soldiers' buttocks were half exposed.
Is this still an information camp? What did I see?
Depend on! !
The colonel was stunned.
Not to mention him, even Qin Quanan, who had a smile on his face, had his pupils shrink when he saw this scene.
Is this still the Blue Army Camp?
But Qin Quanan was the leader after all, and he had a lot of experience. After a little thought, he knew who was behind the incident.
Others don't have such courage.
"Okay, now you're acting on my head?" Qin Quanan was so angry that he laughed.
He wanted to get off the car to take a look, but how could he, a leader, get off the car in this situation?
How to face the warriors?
"Go, grab that kid named Chen and bring him to the camp. Don't get out of the car here, go straight to the camp."
The chief of staff was furious, and extremely furious.
Who can tolerate this?
