Chapter 295: Battle Preparation, Excited Lao Man
The night training did not last long after the military district came to visit. Zhang Canshan asked a few questions and left some incoherent words.
So he returned with his men.
There is really nothing to see during night training.
Only tanks and self-propelled howitzers were engaged in the battle, and the other vehicles were just practicing coordination. It was a large battle, but the advantages of the information system were not apparent.
It seems that arranging a demonstration battalion to test the results of the third phase of mechanization reform of the military region's main combat divisions has become a foregone conclusion.
After all, all the main combat units are currently equipped with drones and radars, it’s just a matter of quantity.
Testing in advance gives you a clearer picture and allows you to make adjustments. It is better than embarrassing yourself on the battlefield during the year-end exercises.
At the conference, the commander-in-chief made it clear.
The entire military region ranked last in this training inspection.
There are more than a dozen army groups, and they are ranked last. How can the commander-in-chief not be annoyed?
As the two military vehicles grew farther and farther away, until even their taillights were barely discernible, Cheng Dong twitched his lips and said after a moment, "Scholar, are we really planning to fight the Seventh Brigade?"
"That's our own unit. Lao Liu is the commander of the Second Battalion. He still keeps us here every day to help lead the troops. If a real fight breaks out, would you be willing to beat up one of your own people?"
"It doesn't necessarily mean that we will just arrange the Seventh Brigade." Chen Mo's tone was a little unclear.
"There's the 188th Division in Xiaocheng, the 189th Division in Jinyang, and there's also a mechanized infantry brigade, an anti-aircraft artillery brigade, and a motorized infantry brigade stationed a little further away. With so many units, they can't just focus on the armored brigade."
"Don't worry, it's not certain who will be beaten in the end."
It would have been better if Chen Mo hadn't said this.
After counting carefully, Cheng Dong sadly remembered that the 188th Brigade, the Mechanized Infantry Brigade, and the Anti-aircraft Artillery Brigade were all his own people.
Many veterans and backbones in the battalion were recruited from these units.
An entire military region supported a demonstration camp.
A demonstration camp almost drained the military district's resources, but as soon as it achieved some success, it turned its guns on the inside and started attacking the inside.
You can imagine.
From now on, the Kyoto Demonstration Camp will be severely criticized by all units in the military region.
Those number one in the unit, such as division commanders, brigade commanders, etc., naturally won’t say much, but they can’t stand the scolding from their subordinates.
A wolf with ungrateful eyes is a bully in his own den. A wolf cub that cannot be tamed will just open its mouth and do whatever it wants.
"Hey, I suddenly miss Commander Wang." Cheng Dong said with a sad look, "If we can fight the 61st Division, I will accept it even if I lose."
"Yes, I miss Commander Wang too." Chen Mo nodded in agreement.
There are many grievances between the Kyoto Demonstration Camp and the 61st Division.
If you want to deal with them, there will be no hesitation and you will use all your strength.
Of course, if a real fight were to take place, the result would inevitably be the annihilation of the demonstration camp, so there is no comparison.
The 61st Division was a Type A motorized infantry division in the north, consisting of six regiments. It was so powerful that more than 10,000 people could charge forward without any tactics, and even the demonstration battalion could not stop it.
not to mention.
The 181st, 182nd and 183rd Regiments under the 61st Division were even more powerful. Even Zhu Rihe of later generations could be defeated by the 182nd Regiment. This was not an ordinary Type A division.
Lao Wang is usually "easy to get along with", but that doesn't mean the 61st Division is a unit that can be bullied. Look at the Northwest Military Exercise, the 139th is also a Type A division.
On the battlefield, they had almost no ability to resist.
It is not difficult to estimate the opponent's strength.
The reason why the Blue Army Camp had the upper hand was because the system's suppression was too harsh and the opponent had no defense at all.
Now, with the third stage of mechanization reform and continuous deepening of learning, the mysterious veil of informatization has been lifted.
If we fight again, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy.
But when it comes to training soldiers, they will definitely go find a fierce tiger. Bullying a little puppy is no big deal.
It was not until the commander's convoy was completely out of sight that Chen Mo raised his hand and patted Cheng Dong on the shoulder: "Let's go, Captain. Let's go back."
"We will fight according to the military district's arrangements."
"At worst, you can find some time tomorrow and, under the pretext of celebrating the military parade, go visit our Wei Brigade to build some rapport. You can also visit the old comrades in the various battalions and cultivate comradeship in advance."
"Damn it, if I'm not going, why aren't you going, you son of a bitch?" Cheng Dong glared, hot air spitting out of his nostrils: "If I go at this critical moment, and a war really breaks out in a few days, they'll think I'm going there to spy on military intelligence."
"Fuck, by then, I won't be able to explain myself even if I have a mouth full of words."
"Hehe, then let's not go. I'm not familiar with Wei Lu. Let's go after the fight."
Chen Mo smiled and put his arm around Cheng Dong's shoulder, then handed the vehicle over to someone else to drive back to the camp.
The instructor and his three companions were walking and talking, laughing, and they did not feel worried at all because of the upcoming war.
After all, what Chen Mo said in front of the leader was not unreasonable.
The 3rd Regiment of the 188th Division, as a mechanized infantry regiment, could not get within 30 kilometers of the demonstration camp on the battlefield.
The inferior weapons are one thing, and the number of troops is not much more than that of the demonstration battalion. The gap between the two units is very limited.
The 7th Armored Brigade is different.
They are indeed very strong, especially the four main combat battalions, which have a total of fifty tanks, plus some infantry fighting vehicles and artillery vehicles, forming a cluster dynamic chain of hundreds of tanks. It is not easy for the demonstration battalion to win.
But it depends on the size of the battlefield.
If it was only a few dozen kilometers in radius, the 7th Armored Brigade would definitely win, with a cluster dynamic chain of this scale, plus a group of staff officers left over from the 7th Tank Division.
Even if the demonstration battalion was made of iron, it couldn't withstand many artillery shells.
But if the battlefield area is large enough and gives the demonstration camp enough opportunities to perform, the outcome will be unpredictable.
Moreover, the military district should not be so stingy as to only approve a small area for fighting.
So, Chen Mo was not worried.
. . . . . . . . . .
After returning to East Campus.
Chen Mo privately found Fang Peijun and mentioned the matter of promotion to the regiment. The two agreed to keep it confidential and not spread it in the camp.
Even cadres were not allowed to know, including the matter of going to war, everything was suppressed.
Since the demonstration camp has been creating a pure training atmosphere from the beginning, there cannot be too many irrelevant topics.
Recently.
The training intensity is too high, and the companies cannot afford to be distracted by other things, such as whether they can upgrade, how to prepare for the annual military exercises, or how to fight the next war.
This is something the battalion headquarters should worry about.
It has no direct connection with the soldiers who can't sleep well all day.
With the addition of the Wild Dog system, the coordinated training in the camp has been going very well in recent days, and the overall adaptation speed has more than doubled.
Fundamentally, the burden on cadres has been greatly reduced. Similar training will be fine as long as it is carried out step by step.
In this situation, it is even less suitable to be disturbed by other messages.
After coming back.
Chen Mo did not go to the information command room to watch the night training process. He sat in the room and prepared for the next battle.
Since the commander-in-chief has mentioned it.
In addition, the mechanization strategy conference has just ended, and all units in the military region have to face reorganization, so this operation will not be delayed for too long.
Probably within a week.
But it won't be too soon, because the military parade will be held tomorrow, and it is also the birthday of the motherland. Due to training reasons, there are not many changes in the demonstration camp compared to usual times.
But other units have begun to strengthen their combat readiness and are ready to go at any time.
It is both a celebration for the motherland and a protection for the people.
In the short term, especially in the last one or two days, this battle initiated by the demonstration camp cannot be fought.
But just because there can't be a fight doesn't mean we can't prepare anything.
Probably around ten o'clock in the evening.
The companies that participated in the night training came back one after another. After a while, the rumbling sound of people going up the stairs in the administrative building, accompanied by the sound of people talking and laughing, came into the office.
Judging from the noise, the companies in the night training should have performed well.
Chen Mo stood up and walked to the meeting room.
The cadres, who had been busy all day and were excitedly discussing the details of the training, saw the battalion commander coming over.
Everyone stood up: "Hello, Battalion Commander!"
"Sit down. Judging from your situation, did training go well today?"
Chen Mo smiled and waved his hand for everyone to sit down.
"Haha, if nothing unexpected happens today, our tank company will still be first." Qin Xiaojun shouted with a big grin.
A student officer who graduated from the Shicheng Armored Academy had only been a company commander for a few days, but his habits were almost the same as those of an old soldier.
The voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly from hundreds of meters away.
"Bullshit! The best performer today is our Mechanized Infantry Company. Qin, I'm embarrassed to expose you. How many tanks did our squad destroy tonight? Do you dare to tell me in front of the battalion commander?"
Xu Zhanqi, the company commander of the mechanized infantry company, slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide open in anger.
This person also learned exactly the same as the old cadre.
But this is not surprising. As the two main combat companies of the demonstration battalion, if the chief officers are not strong, there is no such thing as a main combat company.
These qualities will gradually improve as you lead the unit you lead.
"What am I afraid to say?" Qin Xiaojun retorted sharply, "Xu, don't think I'm afraid of you. If our second team didn't need to allocate firepower to protect the logistics, and your first team only focused on attacking, with your crappy firepower, how could you possibly gain an advantage?"
"Bullshit." Xu Zhanqi rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.
Chen Mo didn't say a word.
He walked to the main seat at the conference table, took a cigarette from the box, lit it, and watched the two people arguing with a smile.
At the same time, I was also observing the performance of people from other companies.
Recently, the battalion's training has indeed made great progress, but the drawbacks are also very obvious. The four companies that can take first place are basically tanks, armored infantry, logistics, and reconnaissance.
The rest, such as engineers, artillery companies, rocket artillery companies, medical personnel, and air defense units, were simply no match for them.
Because the training ground is too small, the companies that can compete for the first place are the ones who actually fired artillery, and their real results are there.
The artillery company could occasionally fire a few shots for fun, but because the infantry were all with the team during coordination and not in vehicles, the artillery company could not fire as hard as it could.
Not to mention air defense and rocket launchers. Recently, there has not even been a chance to fire. These are all simulated battle situations. There is no long-range enemy for them to satisfy their needs.
Even if the three planned heights are very close, rocket launchers are not needed.
Therefore, when these companies saw the two main combat companies arguing and fighting for the first merit, they all sat there in silence.
I can't muster any interest.
Chen Mo saw all of this, and it was a good thing. He had long wanted to include the medical team in the logistics organization, but Liu Min was conscientious in his work.
He never mentioned the fact that she was busy running around with a group of female soldiers all day long, and their slogans were louder than those of the male soldiers, for fear of dampening the enthusiasm of the medical team.
After all, being managed by someone in the logistics department is definitely not as strong as an independent team.
Now is the opportunity.
Seeing the two company commanders arguing more and more, Chen Mo raised his hand and knocked on the conference table: "Okay, both of you sit down."
"Anyone who whines again will be kicked out."
After the battalion commander spoke, the two men glared at each other fiercely and sat down reluctantly.
However, I really didn't dare to quarrel.
Xiucai's prestige in the camp was built up bit by bit, day by day. All developments were decided by Chen Mo alone. Many times, even the instructors had to take a step back, let alone them.
The meeting room finally became quiet, all the cadres straightened up, opened their meeting record books, and began to prepare for work.
Chen Mo picked up the water cup beside him, took a sip of tea and said, "Let's not talk about who is first today or who performs the best."
"You can ask the General Staff or Captain Wang privately."
"The commendation meeting is definitely held every day. I didn't mention it today because our entire battalion has a day off tomorrow."
Have a holiday? ! !
The cadres, whose lives were filled with training all day long, were all stunned when they heard the word "holiday".
"Battalion Commander, tomorrow is not Sunday, why do we have a day off when it's only Friday?" Engineer Company Commander Wang Yanjun asked curiously.
"You must have practiced yourself to death. The National Day parade will be held tomorrow." Logistics Company Commander Liang Hongjie reminded.
Everyone suddenly realized.
No one has been looking at the date recently, so they are just aiming for first place. Plus, no one in the camp mentioned it, so no relevant preparations have been made.
Such an important day was ignored by Shui Lingling.
"Yes, tomorrow morning, please ask the comrades from the electronic warfare team to clean up the auditorium downstairs and connect the equipment to the projection system so that we can celebrate the motherland's birthday together."
"We held a commendation meeting this afternoon. We haven't received any orders for National Day combat readiness, but we can't be careless."
"We should actively prepare for war when we need to."
"How about this? Tomorrow afternoon, after the commendation meeting, the logistics company will transport a batch of ammunition to the Hedong Howitzer Battalion."
"Air defense company, artillery company, and rocket artillery company, all go to the howitzer battalion base to begin the second phase of training."
"Comrades from the General Staff, Information Command, Logistics, and Reconnaissance will also be dispatched to assist."
"Fire your ammunition freely. During the recent training session with your companies, there were many times when we didn't even have the chance to fire our artillery. This won't do. We can't handle heavy weapons just to watch, but for battle."
"The medical team will be temporarily incorporated into the logistics department. Team Liu will also send some people to Hedong."
"The selection process for commendations will continue. Both the Hedong Camp and this area will hold meetings every day to discuss the matter. Since we want to compete for first place, all companies must participate."
"We can't just watch the armored infantry and tanks scramble for credit all day long."
"If anyone has other ideas, please share them."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he looked at the cadres on both sides of the conference table.
The message was too sudden.
This was both a holiday and a relocation of the training site. The entire demonstration camp was divided into two, which was indeed unexpected for many cadres.
But being able to fire artillery and participate in real training is a good thing for artillery companies, air defense companies, and rocket artillery companies.
After all, anyone would feel regretful if they had to drive such a large artillery vehicle every day and could only circle around without being able to reload shells.
"Report! I have no objection and will firmly obey the arrangements of the battalion headquarters." He Hui from the rocket artillery company was the first to express his opinion.
"Report, I have no objection."
"Report."
Other cadres expressed their opinions one after another. Only Liu Min was a little confused, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing no other suggestions, Chen Mo nodded and looked at Cheng Dong: "The General Staff will submit the application for training in Hedong during the combat readiness period to the headquarters tomorrow."
"OK!"
"Also, the Engineer Company, you will go to Hedong early tomorrow to assist the other companies in setting up the site."
"yes!"
"I'll give you the drawings for the site location and construction details tomorrow."
"Let's adjourn the meeting."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he stood up first.
However, he did not return to the office, but ran to the dormitory to change into thicker clothes.
As soon as he came down from the dormitory building, he was spotted by Wang Jianyong who was waiting downstairs. He asked curiously, "Captain, it's so late, you still want to go out?"
"Well, go to the reconnaissance company and pick a few experienced squad leaders. Bring your hand-thrown drones and surveying tools, and come with me to Hedong."
"Do we need to plan a training ground for the artillery company?" Wang Jianyong was stunned for a moment. "Well, it's so late at night, so why not go tomorrow?"
"There's no need to go over now."
"You go find it first. I'll tell you the reason on the way." Chen Mo waved his hand, not wanting to say more.
"Okay! It's easy to find good players. Lao Pao, Liu Hai, and Wang Yan are all capable of doing three things at once."
Wang Jianyong nodded and left quickly.
Chen Mo added, "By the way, call Captain Zheng from the artillery company and have him come along."
"OK!"
Zheng Wenbo is a veteran artilleryman of the 38th Army and has even been on the battlefield. When it comes to planning a site, veteran cadres like him have the most experience and the most say.
Watching Wang Jianyong's back as he ran away.
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
Sitting alone on the steps below the dormitory building, puffing out smoke.
After the military district chief left, he did not tell the truth to Cheng Dong. In fact, the purpose of this demonstration camp's battle was to test the combat effectiveness of the camp.
Or is it to test other units or the results of the third phase of mechanization reform?
None of it matters to Chen Mo.
What is important is that the demonstration camp must win, and win beautifully and quickly.
Show the true power of the information system.
No matter who the opponent is, defeat them all.
As for the reason, it's very simple.
Chen Mo just wanted to let his old leader see that it was true that the continuous mechanization reforms were constantly enhancing combat effectiveness.
But no matter how much reform is carried out, isn’t it still based on the combat theory of the informationized part?
The mainstream of the future will definitely be informatization.
This time, don’t stand on the wrong side. The disbanding of military regions is a torrent that cannot be stopped and cannot be stopped.
As long as the Kyoto Demonstration Camp is here and can produce results, the old leaders will change their mindsets and support it, and no longer hold on to those stubborn ideas.
A person's destiny may not be unchangeable.
Even if we can't change it, it's still better than having to exit the market in disgrace because of outdated theory, right?
The sadness of being abandoned by the times by a tough guy who has lived a glorious life, that kind of pain is not something that ordinary people can understand.
Therefore, this demonstration camp’s test of its combat effectiveness in the military region is a rare opportunity.
But at present, the artillery companies and other main output companies have good cadre capabilities, but the artillery has not yet been tried, which is the biggest shortcoming of the entire battalion.
You need to adapt to this as soon as possible.
We also have to practice every minute.
Only then can we achieve a record that will shock the entire military region.
If a war breaks out, and the first one to be attacked is the 7th Armored Brigade, then I can only apologize.
The better the camp, the more intuitive the result.
Although it is difficult to win and the chances are slim, we should still try, right?
Besides.
The demonstration battalion not only has equipment, but also means. The 7th Armored Brigade currently has radars and drones, but if the signal source of the drones of the entire brigade gets out of control on the day of the war, the radar is interfered with, the communication is cut off or even invaded.
This is going to be a fight.
The entire brigade's communications were blocked, the main force could not contact the headquarters, and tactical arrangements could not be passed down to the front line.
Chen Mo just didn't believe that they could not cause chaos.
There are always more solutions than problems.
"battalion commander!!"
When Chen Mo was thinking about how to cheat his old unit, Wang Jianyong came back with his men.
When he shouted like that, quite a lot of people responded.
Not only did five or six veterans from the reconnaissance company come, but the artillery company commander came, including Cheng Dong, Wang Jianbin, and the engineer company commander Wang Yanjun, and Lao Man, who loved to join in the fun from the logistics supply platoon, all followed with excitement.
"Battalion commander, are there any operations tonight? Take me with you." Man Xuexue came up with great interest and asked in a low voice.
That guy had such a sly look on his face that Chen Mo almost thought he was a villain.
"Go away."
Chen Mo pushed Man Xuexi away angrily and waved to the others, "Wait a moment."
After saying that, he put his arm around Wang Jianbin and walked to the side. Man Xueli followed happily and eavesdropped with his ears perked up.
"Old Wang, with the current capabilities of our electronic warfare unit, if we engage in a war with a brigade-level unit, can we immediately detect their signals, disrupt the operation of their drones and radars, and simultaneously invade their communications?"
"We have the technology, but not the ability." Wang Jianbin spread his hands. "If it were in the past, I would have brought those whistles with me. As long as the enemy established communications, we would have been able to disrupt them."
"Not right now. Except for me, everyone else on the team has just graduated. They have enough theoretical knowledge, but they're still far from practical."
"Besides, interference is not as simple as you think. At most, we can cut off the signal source of the other party's drone, but it will be impossible to get any closer."
"After three months, there might be some hope, but if the Electronic Countermeasures Brigade intervenes in the annual military exercises, we will still be on the defensive."
“You have to give talent time to grow.”
"Is that so?" Chen Mo frowned. "Is it possible to ask for some external aid from Xiangjian?"
"No way."
Wang Jianbin curled his lips and asked in surprise, "Xiucai, what are you going to do now? I didn't fire the flare, nor did you. It's a national weapon. How can we borrow it without the order of the major military region?"
Having said that, Chen Mo basically concluded that his previous idea was not very realistic.
The electronic warfare team in the battalion is indeed not strong enough.
But neither of them expected that there was a ray of hope after a dark period. Lao Man, who had been eavesdropping nearby, immediately lit up when he heard the interference.
He has four years of undergraduate study at the National University of Defense Technology and three years of master's study at the Academy of Military Sciences, both of which are computer-related majors. He is not unfamiliar with this electromagnetic spectrum interference technology.
Seeing the battalion commander about to give up, Lao Man immediately jumped out and said excitedly: "Battalion commander, I, I, I, I can do it."
"You? Even with you, it's not enough." Chen Mo was a little confused.
"Harmful"
He waved his hands confidently: "I definitely can't do it alone, but I can hire someone. The people who make the arrows can't leave the unit, that's because of the discipline."
"The Academy of Sciences can do that. With just one phone call, a bunch of the graduates who stayed on campus can come over. Captain, how many do you want?"
"Borrow thirty first, and ask for more if you're not satisfied."
Chen Mo:
Wang Jianbin:
Damn it, how could I forget about this funny guy?
Given the academy's protective nature, as long as a junior fellow is in trouble and asks for help, they might be able to call on dozens of people to help.
"Thirty is a bit too much. It's not like we're borrowing food. How can it be so exaggerated?"
Chen Mo looked up and thought for a moment: "How about twenty-five? You explain the reason. It's best to bring the equipment. I estimate it will take half a month to borrow it. Please explain it clearly to the comrades in advance."
"That's nothing."
Man Xuexue patted his chest and said, "The Academy of Sciences is responsible for research on informatization, and they are worried about not having the opportunity to implement it. I will tell my supervisor, and if twenty or thirty people come, it will be no problem."
Chen Mo really had no doubt about this.
The Academy of Military Science is full of big names, and many of its research results have already reached the forefront of application in field units.
The reason why many technologies are not applied to the military is that the development of the army is on a large scale rather than a small scale, and the national strength is limited.
The arrival of these people is almost like adding wings to a tiger.
The deal was done.
Chen Mo turned and walked up to the crowd, saying seriously, "The reconnaissance company and Zheng Company will follow me to Hedong."
"We'll take advantage of the night to survey the artillery range. Chief of Staff Cheng will stay in the camp to organize the parade tomorrow."
"After the blueprints are brought back, the engineering company will go to the Hedong camp at noon tomorrow to begin construction."
"Are you wondering why I'm so anxious?"
Chen Mo glanced at everyone.
The few people who were notified to come over really couldn't understand why they went there at night.
Although the training tasks of the demonstration camp are very tight, they are not tight to this extent.
"Tonight is night training, the military district leaders, including the commander-in-chief, are here."
Chen Mo said calmly, "The commander-in-chief personally requested that the results of the third phase of mechanization reforms be inspected in each unit, and the unit responsible for this inspection is our demonstration camp."
"Comrades, we are likely to face several fierce battles in the future."
"Tomorrow is National Day, so there is a high probability that no arrangements will be made, but the day after tomorrow may not be the same. Right now, all units are on combat readiness and can be deployed at any time."
"Our artillery company, the long-range artillery company, has almost no training in firing artillery. Once deployed on the battlefield, we will be at a great disadvantage. Even if we only practice for one day tomorrow, it is better than not preparing at all."
"This news is to be kept secret throughout the battalion. Do not mention it to other officers yet. Do you understand?"
"clear!!"
As soon as the news of the impending war came out, the group of people who had been relaxed suddenly became nervous.
Chen Mo definitely didn't tell the truth. The main reason he went to Hedong overnight was not because of the exercise, and the so-called joining the war the day after tomorrow was also fabricated by him.
After all, even if the military district has this plan, it has to be prepared.
Battlefield planning, logistics mobilization, and directorate preparations will take at least a few days.
He himself couldn't wait any longer.
This is a rare opportunity to make the old leader change his mind. If Chen Mo doesn't take action tonight, he might not be able to sleep.
Explain everything.
Chen Mo waved his hand and took a few people with him and drove straight to Hedong.
Cheng Dong stayed behind and organized the cadres to go back and rest. He knew that there was going to be a war, but he was unwilling to say more.
But just because he is unwilling to talk doesn't mean that others are unwilling to talk too much.
I learned that the demonstration camp was about to go to war.
Lao Man was so excited that he jumped three feet high and ran to the communications room in the middle of the night to ask the Academy of Sciences for help.
This guy was born with a warlike gene.
I have been in the demonstration camp for a long time, but I have never fought a battle.
This time, he finally got the chance.
