Chapter 224: Exercise is launched, the Blue Army Battalion moves forward and kills!
Inside the auditorium of Huanglongwanggou Camp.
Qin Quanan's face had been ashen since he came in. He stood facing the "August 1st" military flag with his hands behind his back, looking solemn.
To be honest, he has been in the army for many years and has seen all kinds of naughty officers.
But it is rare to see someone like Chen Mo acting so boldly and explicitly. However, after experiencing the anger just now, he has reacted.
This bastard is just crying poor to himself.
But you can cry all you want. There are endless ways for various units to cry poor.
But who dares to do this?
Thanks to the leaders of the major military regions, many of them have already gone to the northwest, and the rest have to stay on duty at their posts and cannot run around.
Otherwise, if the superiors suddenly had an idea and came to inspect the information battalion and saw the miserable scene just now, who knows what the people above would think.
Such an important experiment was handed over to the military district, but an entire battalion of people were forced into this state?
How will the military district explain this to its superiors? Will it continue to operate smoothly?
The more Qin Quan'an thought about it, the angrier he became. To be honest, if his status didn't prevent him from doing so, he really wanted to strangle that troublemaker to death.
The other side.
Chen Mo was really feeling uncomfortable at the moment, because the order of the military district chief of staff was to bring him over, not to invite him over.
A fifth-level non-commissioned officer with a serious expression. If you observe carefully, you will find that the other senior non-commissioned officer's military uniform is open from the fourth button onwards, which does not meet the appearance requirements of the military personnel stipulated in the internal regulations at all.
In this era, leaders of Qin Quanan's level would always be accompanied by such a guard when traveling.
The reason why the clothes are worn like this is because there is a loaded pistol on the waist. If an emergency occurs, the guard can draw the gun two seconds faster.
This was the habit of carrying guns that was deeply ingrained in the 8341 Guard Unit and gradually extended to the guards in the lower military regions.
Chen Mo had been with his old leader before, so when he saw that the chief of staff arranged this kind of person to "invite" him, he immediately behaved himself.
He saluted and said, "Squad Leader, please wait a moment. I will arrange the follow-up training tasks."
"Two minutes."
The guard looked down at the time on his watch, then turned around and stood outside the field tent, standing there like a javelin.
Wang Jianyong was obviously also aware of the guards' situation. Seeing them staring at the scholar as if he were guarding against a thief, he lowered his voice with a look of concern and said, "My dear, you are so serious. Are you going to do something stupid?"
"It's okay, it's just a small scene." Chen Mo waved his hand nonchalantly: "Remember, I'll handle the camp situation. The commander is here to check on the morale. After I leave, notify the entire battalion to immediately return to normal."
"When we say goodbye later, show as much momentum as you can. Don't let it slip twice in a row. Got it?"
"Then what are you trying to do?" Wang Jianyong was puzzled.
He really didn't understand what the scholar was trying to do. Since the leader was coming to inspect, he should just put on his best attitude.
Come happily, leave happily, and everyone is happy.
"I'll tell you about this later when I have the chance. Anyway, remember what I just told you. Be quick!"
Chen Mo shook his head slightly, then reached out to adjust his military uniform, his face calm.
What's the point?
If he were a brigade commander or a deputy division-level cadre, and his connections and coordination skills in the military region were enough to mobilize a battalion, then there would be no problem.
But the problem is that he can't now.
Could it be that the Chief of Staff came over and said some nice things and empty words, spoke a lot at the oath-taking ceremony, and then left satisfied?
What should we do tomorrow?
Huanglongwanggou is over 800 kilometers away from Qingtongxia. How will the railway be coordinated? Who will contact and communicate with the transportation departments and military depots along the land route?
The military is not a charity, and the military region will not consider how its subordinate units should deal with everything.
To put it bluntly, for many things, you should take responsibility if you are capable of doing so. If you are not capable, find someone else. Don't expect the military region to take care of everything for you.
An army group consists of dozens or hundreds of units and tens of thousands of people. If everything is carefully considered, can it still be called an army?
It may not sound nice to cry poor and seek sympathy, but it works, especially in Chen Mo's current situation.
If you get the chance, you must grab it with all your strength.
Chen Mo straightened his uniform and walked up to the guard: "Let's go, squad leader, let's go see the leader."
The guards were all fifth-level non-commissioned officers, just like the veterans. They looked at Chen Mo like he was a rookie.
"The commander asked me to drag you over."
"Okay, squad leader, we have to drive. It's a long way."
Chen Mo took the initiative to take out the key and handed it to the guard, then obediently followed him into the Blue Army Camp's car.
I saw the military district’s car parked right in front of the auditorium.
The two men also got off the car at the door of the auditorium. Without waiting for the guard to speak, Chen Mo lifted up the back of his collar and let the old soldier hold it.
Don't ask why.
The point is, when the leader sees that he is really being dragged in, his anger will be mostly relieved on the spot.
If something like this happens and you still walk in brazenly, you will inevitably be scolded.
You’re right.
The guard was such a serious professional soldier, but when he saw Chen Mo's actions, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Damn, I've seen some weird officers, but one this weird is really rare to come across in a century.
He suppressed his laughter and dragged Chen Mo into the auditorium.
Hearing the noise, Qin Quanan turned around to look at Chen Mo, who was drooping his head, followed by Gao Jin and Liu Heli from the General Staff.
It was exactly as Chen Mo had guessed. Seeing him being dragged into the auditorium, Chief of Staff Qin's anger was far less terrifying than what he had been in the car just now.
He just snorted coldly, walked to the conference table, pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Kid, I asked you to lead the information battalion, is this how you lead it?"
"ah!"
"Come on, tell me what happened to the entire battalion just now. How did you fool the devil?"
Face the questioning.
Chen Mo straightened his back a little, and his collar had been loosened.
But he lacked his usual confidence and sharpness. His face was calm, his eyes were looking into the distance, and he looked extremely lonely.
The show has begun.
"Commander, you're being very unfair to me. We've been training in Huanglongwanggou for four days, with thirty-nine maneuvers, twenty-seven of which involved full-battalion attacks."
"Four days and four night extreme marches, coordinated assaults carried out every day."
"Four days, we'll treat it as four months."
Chen Mo's acting skills are not bad, and he can even beat many company and battalion-level cadres by several streets.
There was a slight pause in his calm yet powerful words, and the attention of the entire auditorium was focused on him.
Even Qin Quanan fell silent.
The main thing is that when a little kid said something like that, it had a pretty big impact.
Sensing the subtle change in the atmosphere, Chen Mo quietly raised his voice half a degree and began to add emotional impact.
He spoke clearly and seriously, "The entire battalion's tanks have logged nearly 500 kilometers of maneuvering, with the tanks alone clocking in at 90 kilometers per day."
"This is just maneuvering, not combat. It's just coordinated training over and over again."
"The soldiers gave up their rest days and got up at 5:30 every day for training, and they didn't leave until 11:00 to rest. The battalion's equipment speed increased from 57 minutes to 40 minutes, a full 17 minutes."
"The squad's assault results have gone from being a mess at the beginning, with average C or even D grades, to being on the same level now. Commander, the environment here is not good. In just a few days, over 80 soldiers suffered from heatstroke, and four officers fainted from exhaustion on the training ground."
"I had to train six tanks, practicing day and night, with no time to wash. My uniform was soaked with sweat hundreds of times a day, getting wet and dry again. The clothes were so hard that they rubbed against my body, leaving blisters."
"There's no other way to change uniforms. I just asked the soldiers to take a ten-minute break this morning so that they could wash all the clothes."
"I haven't had time to change it yet."
"Commander, I'm sorry, this is really all we can do."
Chen Mo's voice echoed throughout the auditorium.
A simple "apology" was all we could do, and it almost made the deputy battalion commander and instructor standing behind him give us a thumbs up on the spot.
What a talent!!!
Let's be honest, with what Chen Mo said, which unit can't achieve it during combat readiness?
The training time is tight and the tasks are heavy. Sometimes, training outside is much more difficult than this. After all, the Blue Army Battalion is a valued unit, different from other units.
Isn't it just about wearing a military uniform?
He spoke as if everyone had never been bullied before. Chen Mo could make such a trivial matter sound so aggrieved and make the atmosphere so sensational.
Most people don't have such thick skin.
As expected, Qin Quan'an was also stunned for a moment. He knew that the training details Chen Mo mentioned were all true.
Because the military district has archived the training details of the entire battalion, information is recorded every day and everything can be checked.
So, I really blamed this bastard wrongly?
Qin Quan'an hesitated for just a moment and was caught by Chen Mo, who was always paying attention to the changes in the leader's expression.
He hurriedly stepped forward, stood at attention and saluted, then said in a resounding voice, "But please rest assured, Commander, we will definitely fulfill our mission in this Northwest military exercise."
Look at how poor he is. Damn it. He was just expressing his emotions and now he's talking about business again.
Qin Quanan knew that this kid was playing tricks on him, but he didn't let it stop him from saying anything.
After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, kid, you don't have to control my army here."
"We will depart for Qingtongxia tomorrow. Currently, the military preparatory working group has completed 80% of the preparations."
"Someone will come to meet you tonight. First, regarding transportation, according to the plan, we have decided to use a mixed mode of operation of rail and road to the battlefield."
"I'll contact the railway transportation department and have two special military trains dispatched for you tomorrow. The logistics and military engineering battalions will also accompany you."
"The highway management department will also consider adopting a phased closure of sections. I've reviewed your plans for supplies and military depots along the way. Don't worry about anything else."
"The Kyoto Air Force 7th Division will deploy two J-8 squadrons to provide mobile protection and be ready to respond to emergencies at any time."
"Secondly, regarding material preparations, the majority of the ammunition allocated by the military region for the exercises has already been dispatched to the battlefield. The individual food, sensors, and other marking supplies needed for the exercises are all in place."
"Regarding the fuel transportation quota, I can't give you detailed data right now. Please go to the directorate and review it in detail after you get there."
call!
I heard the leader’s instructions on the arrangements of important materials, weapons, and equipment.
Chen Mo let out a long breath. These things sounded like nothing to the chief of staff. They were just a matter of a few words.
But for the Blue Army Camp, that is too difficult. If one of them is missing, it will lead to subsequent problems.
After Qin Quanan listed a few points, he looked at Chen Mo: "You don't have to act here, kid. I know what you are worried about."
"Sometimes, I really wonder if you were a soldier in your previous life. You smell so much like a soldier."
"If you don't learn the good things, what are you thinking about all day long?"
Without waiting for Chen Mo's response.
Qin Quanan leaned back in his chair and said seriously, "You don't have to make any promises to me when you go to the northwest this time."
"This exercise is of great interest to all field troops. You should be well aware that the purpose of this exercise is not only to prepare for the parade, but also to test the results of the second phase of motorization and transition to full mechanization."
"Perhaps there won't be a military exercise of this scale in the next ten or twenty years, so I hope you will be fully prepared this time."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, Chief, I understand!!"
Chen Mo straightened his chest and responded loudly.
Before the exercise approached, the military district and the academy were eager to talk about the information technology experiment every day, but when it came to the time, no one mentioned it deliberately.
Chen Mo knew that the people above him did not want to put too much pressure on him. There was experience from foreign armies in the transition from motorization to mechanization. It had been ten years and they had only just reached the second stage of the transition.
Is it really that easy to create a new system?
Is it that easy to succeed?
If it were really that simple, professional information-based troops would have been out long ago.
"Well, I'm waiting for your good news."
Qin Quanan stood up and walked to Chen Mo. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and patted his shoulder, then strode out of the auditorium.
"Return to the military area."
He originally came here to inspect the Blue Army Camp, but after what happened to Chen Mo, how could he continue the inspection?
However, Chief of Staff Qin is an open and honest person, much better than a certain minister.
Just before getting in the car, he turned around and said, "Liu Heli."
"arrive!"
"In the name of the Kyoto Military Region, notify the Logistics Department to issue two additional uniforms to all comrades in the Information Battalion. Say it's Commander-in-Chief Fu's order and there can be no delay."
"How can a dignified information battalion go to war in rags? What kind of a mess is that?"
"We haven't embarrassed ourselves enough yet."
"yes!"
Liu Heli, the instructor of the Blue Army Camp, stood at attention.
Seeing the leader leaving in the car, Chen Mo was a little dumbfounded. Damn, this time he really got into trouble.
Before he came back, he specifically instructed the entire battalion to change their clothes to maintain the highest morale and reassure the leader.
After all the busy work, I forgot that the Chief of Staff would be so generous. In the name of the commander-in-chief of the Kyoto Military Region, he ordered the logistics department to issue two sets of military uniforms to all soldiers of the Blue Army Battalion.
I should have known this would happen earlier.
Why bother changing clothes? Just let the leader leave with a little guilt.
Now that's good.
If I let the chief see what's happening outside, wouldn't that make it clear that I'm playing dirty?
Chen Mo's face changed. He wanted to make an urgent notification, but he saw that another lookout car in the camp had already set off before the chief of staff's car.
Notify the troops in advance to prepare for the inspection.
Chen Mo raised his hand and slapped his forehead, thinking to himself that he was careless.
But things have come to this, and there is nothing he can do to remedy the situation.
Qin Quanan was sitting in the back seat of the 211 jeep when he passed by the Blue Army Battalion again.
Things are indeed different.
The twenty-seven squads of the Blue Army Battalion formed a formation of more than one thousand meters across the training area.
The chariots behind were like ferocious beasts crawling on the ground, flashing coldly under the sunlight.
The soldiers were in the front, holding their 81 rifles with bayonets tightly in their hands.
Every soldier held his head high, and the company flag was flying in front of the team.
Flags, cold light, scorching sun, and various conditions and factors all come together to present an army with a different style.
Compared with the previous troops, the uniforms of this unit are not torn at all.
"stand at attention!!"
"salute!!"
An officer roared.
A queue of more than a thousand meters was lined up in a horizontal line, saluting in unison!
"parking!"
Qin Quanan looked at the queue in the distance, gave the order, and waited for the vehicle to stop before pushing the door and getting out.
All the accompanying cadres and guards got off the car.
Because the squad was standing too far apart, people far away could only see a rough outline.
So there was no need for Qin Quanan to speak anymore. At this time, there was no need to express anything through words.
Several people returned the greeting in unison.
Then he got in the car and left.
When Chen Mo got on a car from the camp and rushed to the scene in a hurry.
The leader has gone far away.
Chen Mo stood there and looked for a long time before waving to the command sergeant in the distance, signaling the troops to assemble.
There were no grand speeches or bloody scenes, and the entire Blue Army camp's tanks remained stationary.
The warriors gathered together like a flood.
"Report, Armored Squadron 1 is in place!"
"Report, Armored Squadron 2 is in place!"
"Report, Armored Squadron 3 is in place!"
"Report, the medical team is ready!"
"Report, electronic reconnaissance team is ready!"
“.”
After several days of coordinated assault training, Chen Mo reorganized and named the 27 teams according to the command habits of different commanders.
They also served as commanders of different teams.
The Blue Army Battalion is not strong today, as it has too many problems. But compared to when the companies first arrived at the base, it has been completely transformed.
"Reporting to the battalion commander, the entire battalion has assembled. 1,063 men should be present, but 1,050 are actually present. One man with emphysema is recuperating. Twelve sentries remain. Please give your instructions!"
The battalion duty officer loudly reported the situation of each company.
"At ease!"
"yes!"
The officer on duty turned around and gave the order to stand at ease.
Chen Mo walked to the front of the queue in step, looking at the thousand soldiers with their heads held high and chests puffed out. Some of the more confident ones even puffed out their chests like turkeys, half a head taller than the other soldiers.
The expression is very proud.
"Order!!"
Chen Mo spoke with murderous intent.
Swish!!!
The word "command" is much more formal than "tell me about it".
The queue instantly changed from at ease to attention, and the sound of military boots hitting heels was as deafening as thunder.
Chen Mo took a few steps back and scanned the queue with his eyes like a knife.
"Comrades, as the saying goes, it takes ten years to sharpen a sword, but the blade remains untested. We in the Blue Army Battalion haven't had ten years to sharpen it; we've only had a few days."
"But these few days are enough for us to march northwest. Tomorrow is the time to set off."
"This afternoon, there will be no more coordinated assault training. Each team only needs to review the previous modeling, read more, think more, and get a good rest."
"We'll leave tomorrow."
"Comrades, I am not qualified to represent the Party and the people in my position, but our mission and our tasks will be seen by the people and by the higher-ups."
"No matter how fierce the enemy is this time, it doesn't matter. We're all veterans here, so it's just a battle."
"It's all information technology. Officers lead non-commissioned officers, non-commissioned officers lead veterans, veterans lead new recruits. Let's charge together."
"I will lead this team."
"Before, you always said you were the main force. Now, your chance to be the main force has come."
"Comrades, are you ready for battle?"
“Always be prepared! Always be prepared!! Always be prepared!!!”
"Comrades, the time has come for the Party and the people to test us. I don't care how others perform in this military exercise, but we shoulder the heavy responsibility of informatizing the experiment. This process will be very difficult. Facing a large-scale battlefield, we may even have to survive in the cracks."
"In the next few days, we will encounter various emergencies, and the environment may become even more severe, but the leaders above are waiting for us, and countless senior professors in the college are eagerly looking forward to it."
"Comrades, are you ready?"
"Blue Army Camp, Kill!!!"
Explosive roars came from the queue.
The reason why Chen Mo said these words during the mobilization was because all the cadres on the scene knew the importance of information technology experiments.
This is more than just an exercise.
It is also an experiment to explore a new system and blaze a trail for the field troops.
The mobilization is over.
On the afternoon of August 7, the Blue Army Camp's field training area was shrouded in an atmosphere of an impending war and a fight to the death.
Chen Mo said something that touched the hearts of many soldiers in the company.
He always claims that he is the main force, but this time, he is really going to become the main force and go to the northwest battlefield.
It can't be called tragic because no one knows who their enemy is on the battlefield and how powerful they are.
It’s not relaxing at all, after all, the battle that has been called for for so long has finally arrived.
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
The transport battalion of the military region's logistics department sent two 142 transport vehicles to transport all the required new military uniforms.
5:30 pm.
The entire Blue Army Battalion put on new uniforms and boots, wrote suicide notes, and lined up to call home.
Embrace peace!!
Exercises are not 100% safe, especially in this era, and every large-scale military exercise has casualty indicators.
What's more, maintaining high-intensity maneuvers for half a month is a challenge for anyone.
Start after dinner.
Chen Mo ran to the slope behind the camp alone, smoking one cigarette after another, and constantly deducing the current combat effectiveness of the Blue Army Camp in his mind.
To be honest, he didn't know what script the director's office would give them this time, and he didn't know whether the open-book exam they had agreed on would still count.
Everything is unknown.
It also put a lot of pressure on him.
I stayed there for four or five hours alone, waiting for all the teams in the camp to return to the dormitory to rest.
Chen Mocai strolled back to his dormitory.
Tonight, the stars are twinkling and the moonlight is bright, illuminating the entire camp as if it were covered with a layer of white gauze.
The scenery is beautiful, but the atmosphere is a bit depressing.
The next morning at eight o'clock, August 8th.
Just after breakfast, the soldiers of the entire battalion were packing their luggage in the dormitory.
Woo.
Bursts of low air raid sirens sounded throughout the camp.
