Chapter 203: Dispatching, this shit is too outrageous
No matter what Chen Mo thinks, an order is an order.
Luo Yaowu gave an order, and in an instant, the entire cadre building was filled with the sound of telephones and telegrams.
The printer spit out a torrent of documents like a blizzard.
Members of the Operations Department, composed of the Military Region's Training and Operations Department and the General Staff, began working around the clock.
The preset routes of the deployment were reported to the military district and all the garrison units along the way through telephone and telegram.
This also includes the approximate time of the journey.
The troops were dispatched, with thousands of people taking action, and they were only given half an hour, so the time was quite tight.
Chen Mo did not dare to delay. As an accompanying staff officer, he immediately rushed back to Director Luo's office and began to distribute all the documents from the preparatory working group stage to the combat departments of various agencies in order.
All the supplies, individual equipment, sensors, markers, etc. allocated by the military region are assigned to corresponding staff officers to connect with each company.
In terms of fuel, the military region's logistics department has a quota of 500 tons, and the training ground's fuel depot stores 1,800 tons of fuel.
All of these require Chen Mo to call and approve them one by one.
After all, if the deployment plan changes, preparations for military operations usually need to be completed several days in advance.
But preparation is preparation, and approval is approval; there is no conflict between them.
Mechanized units are big consumers of oil. A quota of 500 tons sounds like a lot, but based on the average four-hour maneuvering time of a Type 96 tank, which consumes 1.2 tons of oil, a tank battalion alone, not counting infantry fighting vehicles and troop carriers, with just 27 tanks, will consume more than 30 tons of oil in four hours.
This does not include the fuel consumption of the artillery vehicles, more than 20 troop carriers, and hundreds of logistics vehicles.
At the end of the day, a unit of more than a thousand people can easily consume hundreds of tons of fuel.
The military district staff is responsible for formulating the general direction, trivial logistics and equipment, which are things that Chen Mo, the accompanying staff officer, needs to consider.
A sudden order to move out.
It was as if an invisible stick was placed above the base, and anyone who was a little careless would be hit by the stick.
In the corridor and downstairs of the base, the cadres were running faster and walking faster than each other.
Military ranks suppress each other layer by layer.
The soldiers who had gathered in the cafeteria were also stunned by the sudden sounding of the air raid alarm.
Many people even received their meals and steamed buns, but before they could even take a bite, the food was poured back into the pot by the kitchen staff and logistics staff and the lid was closed.
Seal it, load it into the car, and prepare to follow the main force.
The combat companies were busy leading people to get guns and ammunition, and the logistics department was busy taking inventory and distributing supplies to each company.
Although the scene was chaotic, fortunately order was still barely maintained.
In a word.
After the maneuver order was issued.
The training base, a unit with a bit of cultural atmosphere, began to transform into a violent agency and gradually started the huge war machine of military exercises.
Twenty minutes later.
Outside the base gate.
All the companies have assembled, forming a team that stretches dozens of meters horizontally. All the soldiers hold their guns and stare at the front with sharp eyes.
Maneuvering orders are not combat orders. Many supplies, such as sensors, must be dispatched with the team, but they do not need to be deployed now. Otherwise, it will take time, let alone half an hour.
Even if we were given two more half-hours, the team's efficiency would not be that fast.
Luo Yaowu served as the commander-in-chief and was in charge of combat, while Zhang Jinnan served as the political commissar and was in charge of work style.
After the team is lined up.
The two men brought a group of cadres to the front of the queue. Luo Yaowu's eyes were like knives, cutting through the assembled team.
Then he took the megaphone from Pei Shuaijun and said loudly, "Comrades, let me introduce myself first. My name is Luo Yaowu, and I am the commander-in-chief of this training and the subsequent military exercises."
"Just briefly explain it."
"I believe that before you set out, all units were informed that this military exercise is the focus of all field units."
"The purpose of the military exercise is to test our progress in mechanization and the transition to informatization."
"Perhaps in the future, all our efforts will be imitated and learned by the units that follow us."
"In view of this, I would like to reiterate two aspects before the training camp begins."
"First, standardize weapon handling, and second, improve ideological and work style!"
"Let me be frank upfront. If any violations of regulations regarding the operation of technical weapons occur during the upcoming training, resulting in a major safety incident, then, I'm sorry, all the officers involved will be transferred to other jobs."
When the cadres lined up on the scene heard the words "on-the-spot transfer to another job", they were all shocked.
Including some cadres who originally had improper attitudes, their eyes have become much clearer.
No matter what, Luo Yaowu is at the rank of colonel. As someone who led troops in the past, some of his words have a different effect when spoken by him.
"I remind you, comrades, that talking about safety doesn't mean you're afraid to fight recklessly. Don't tell me that nonsense. You know best which aspects of technical weapons can be simplified on the battlefield and which ones absolutely cannot."
“All comradeship awareness must be in place.”
"Those present here are veterans, and you should remember that ten years ago, during a training exercise in the Second Howitzer Battalion of a certain artillery division, the artillerymen operating the artillery failed to follow proper procedures for the storage of artillery shells, resulting in a serious secondary explosion and heavy casualties. The company commander was sentenced to three years in prison."
"Therefore, during large-scale training, no one should take chances and must strictly enforce their combat style."
"On the other hand, there are issues of lifestyle."
"I heard some comrades say that some units are not cooperating with this operation. I won't mention it here. It's okay if they don't cooperate."
"If you can meet my requirements, it's fine to give you some privileges, but if you can't meet my requirements, don't blame me for saying something too ugly."
"Whether it's a mule or a horse, let's test it on the battlefield!!"
"Finally, for this maneuver plan, 90% of the fixed fuel quota has been distributed to each unit. During the maneuver, each unit will mainly adopt a mobile self-logistics support mechanism, and the command center will only carry one-fifth of the fuel."
"Everyone, get on board!!"
Luo Yaowu gave an order.
The team that was originally lined up to receive the lecture began to disperse in the blink of an eye.
Teams of soldiers began to board their respective tanks, waiting for specific maneuvering instructions.
Luo Yaowu stood there and stared for a while. He also paid special attention to the execution ability of the soldiers of the radar anti-aircraft artillery company and the long-range rocket artillery company.
I haven't seen any problems yet.
He turned around and saw Chen Mo standing behind him with a stack of documents in his hands.
Luo Yaowu waved his hand and said, "You don't need to go to the command center. Before the formal exercise begins, you will stay in the logistics department to learn and assist in the overall planning. After the exercise begins, you will be transferred to the staff group."
"Go ahead."
"yes!"
Chen Mo straightened up and raised his hand to salute.
Chen Mo was not surprised at all by the decision that he was not allowed to follow the command center during training.
Because when setting up the emergency plans for each unit these two days, these leaders had no intention of letting him attend the meeting at all.
As a lieutenant, it is too early and inappropriate for me to participate in such a formulation.
Any qualified commander must first have the ability to coordinate logistics, which is just like fighting in ancient times.
Which of those awe-inspiring generals was not an expert in deploying troops and allocating food and fodder?
Of course, the logistics department that Luo Yaowu instructed was not the logistics company under the joint battalion, but the logistics department of the military region.
When I was giving the instructions just now, Dong Zhanwei, director of the Statistics Department of the Military Region’s Logistics Department, was standing next to me.
As I just said at the meeting, this Northwest military exercise is the focus of the entire field army unit.
Since troops are being drawn from the 63rd Army to participate, the military region’s logistics department must fully cooperate to ensure that this training, including military exercises, can go smoothly.
Chen Mo's task for the next two days is to compile statistics, so naturally he has to deal with people from the logistics department.
"Scholar, welcome home!"
Dong Zhanwei has a friendly smile. The director of the Statistics Department of the Logistics Department is a colonel and a regimental-level cadre.
Facing a lieutenant like Chen Mo, a rookie, he can use words like "Welcome home", which shows how high Colonel Dong's level of character is.
"Thank you for your concern, Commander. Lieutenant Chen Mo reports to you. Please arrange your work!"
Chen Mo stood in straight military posture.
Dong Zhanwei nodded with satisfaction. He had been dealing with the base for quite some time.
Naturally, he knew how important the young man in front of him was to Lu Yuan, so he transferred him to the Statistics Department, a core unit of the Military Region Logistics Department.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was the leaders of Lu Academy who wanted to vigorously train this young man.
Some soldiers or cadres will shine with a little sunshine and become extremely proud with a little achievement.
Obviously, Chen Mo is not that type.
"Okay, I don't have any missions for you for now. The troops will be dispatched soon, and the preliminary supplies have been allocated. You can just take a look at it first."
Dong Zhanwei waved his hand, and then gave Chen Mo a brief introduction to the work content of the Statistics Department.
In fact, Chen Mo also knew all this. The Statistics Department was responsible for the entire group army's warehousing, medical services, transportation and delivery, oil pipelines, engineering equipment management, reserve asset management, procurement, etc. All aspects were within the scope of this unit's work.
Basically speaking, the military region's logistics for warfare, construction, transportation, and procurement are all managed by the Statistics Department.
To distribute materials to the group army, we need to do unified planning, scheduling and sorting work, which is basically a data-related job.
Director Luo transferred him here so that Chen Mo could become familiar with the troops' marching, training and combat, and the specific consumption situation of each unit.
"One, two, three, four"
Chen Mo had just coordinated his work with the people from the Statistics Department when, not far away, the battalions, companies and platoons began to call out names to board the vehicles.
Thousands of people gathered, and hundreds of chariots stretched horizontally for several kilometers, which was magnificent.
The sounds of roll calls, instructions, and the waving of command flags began to intertwine, rising and falling like the roar of a tsunami.
Since the Second Tank Battalion arrived at the base first, their tanks were also closest to the base entrance.
Chen Mo looked at the Second Battalion Commander Liu Hongyun, who was standing in the middle of the convoy, yelling at each company and platoon to check the condition of the vehicles.
Suddenly.
The three-person tank crew began to divide the work into groups, with two people inside the vehicle and one person outside, and quickly carried out routine comprehensive inspections before the tank maneuvered.
More than a dozen subjects such as vehicle fire control, power, fuel, etc. are recorded according to the form to ensure that there are no problems.
The three companies must report to the battalion commander in a unified manner.
Rumble!
During the inspection, dozens of Type 96 tanks were started, the ground was shaking, and the air was filled with the heavy smell of diesel and engine oil.
"Report, all inspections completed, the vehicle is in normal condition!!"
"Report, the second company has completed the inspection, and the vehicle is in normal condition!"
"Report, three consecutive inspections completed, the vehicle is in normal condition!"
A series of reporting sounds echoed nearby.
"Tank crew, all personnel aboard!!" Liu Hongyun gave the order.
Before getting on the car, he did not forget to raise his hand and salute towards the seats where Luo Yaowu, Chen Mo, Dong Zhanwei and others were.
Then he got into the tank.
Tap tap tap.
The battalion commander boarded the vehicle along with all the tank crew members.
A total of nine platoon leaders from the entire battalion ran out of the convoy, each 50 meters apart, and raised the command flag at the same time in a highly coordinated manner.
Rumble!
The heavy armored troops were closely connected in an extremely tight manner and began to maneuver towards the preset end point assembly point.
About twenty minutes later.
The entire joint battalion has been fully equipped.
Under the command of the General Staff and the Training and Operations Department using a radio, the entire battalion maneuvered in units of two kilometers.
The tank battalion's heavy equipment, with 27 tanks as its core, is arranged in two rows, with rocket launchers, howitzer vehicles, engineers, anti-aircraft artillery, mechanized infantry, logistics company, reconnaissance, all infantry fighting vehicles, and transport vehicles interspersed in the heavy columns.
A team of mechanized steel monsters, raising clouds of dust that covered the sky, rushed towards the distance.
No matter what unpleasant things happened before, at least elite companies were drawn from the 7th Brigade, anti-aircraft artillery, mechanized infantry, and 188th Division.
The coordinated mobilization efficiency and time data shown in the initial deployment speed are definitely not bad.
This is just a test of the maneuver plan.
Luo Yaowu did not accompany them, but not following them does not mean that he did not pay attention.
After the convoy set out.
It was now the turn of the Type 206 UAV from the Army Academy to test its maneuverability.
At the entrance of the base, the sixth-level non-commissioned officer, the only drone operator and maintainer in the 63rd Army, had been on standby for half a day.
I saw Director Luo waving.
At the entrance of the base, a dozen veterans supported the terminals one by one on tripods and placed them at a height of one person.
It is convenient for people staying in the base to watch the convoy's maneuvering process in real time.
Although Chen Mo knew about the 206 UAV, he had never seen how to launch it before. Today he was completely enlightened.
I saw the old sergeant with six people, each holding an assembled 206 hand-cranked drone, squatting on the ground, installing batteries according to orders, checking the rudders, pulling and pushing rods, and this took six or seven minutes until the convoy in the distance was almost out of sight.
After a few soldiers had finished organizing themselves, they twisted their waists and hips one by one, and sent all the planes into the sky as if throwing grenades.
Then, several soldiers manipulated the steering wheels in their hands to control the aircraft's flight altitude and direction.
When Chen Mo saw this drone, a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead. To be honest, the function of this hand-cranked drone is almost useless.
It has a slow speed and a short flying distance, it can only fly a dozen kilometers at most and last for an hour. When the battery is out of power, it will fall apart and you have to look for parts everywhere to reassemble it.
This thing can only be used now, but in the future, the civilian technology will be better than the current military technology.
While the soldier was operating the drone, Chen Mo walked to the terminal and stretched his neck to take a look.
After just one glance, he lost interest.
Because this type of individual drone is only suitable for reconnaissance and is not suitable for following tank teams at all because their flying speed is too slow.
Couldn't even catch up with the convoy.
However, the 206 UAV is not just a single-soldier series.
After the hand-crank launch.
The sixth-level sergeant immediately arranged for the soldiers to load the remaining four vehicle-mounted drones from the back of the truck in front of Chen Mo's surprised eyes.
Lifted directly to the ground.
This operation almost made Chen Mo unable to perform.
He had always thought that this thing had to rely on the booster on the truck to take off.
Unexpectedly.
They don't need a truck, they just need a launch pad, rocket-assisted flight, and catapult takeoff.
Swish swish swish
Four 206 large drones took off. Except for the instructors from the Army Academy, the people from the military region, including Chen Mo, followed the flight direction of the aircraft and kept turning their heads.
He did it out of curiosity, while others did it out of novelty.
A group of people, like old-fashioned people, think everything they see is high-tech.
As these four large drones took off.
Luo Yaowu then called on everyone who remained in the base to go to the meeting room.
Come indoors.
What’s even more eye-opening is coming.
I saw the sixth-level non-commissioned officer calling four veterans, each of whom was holding a military green triple-proof laptop that was thicker than a toolbox.
With a clang, it was placed on the conference table.
Wow, when the entire notebook is not opened, the total thickness is estimated to be more than ten centimeters. Chen Mo didn't weigh it with his hands, but he could guess the thickness by looking at the noise it made when it was placed on the table.
This notebook probably weighs about ten kilograms.
Judging from the appearance, it should be able to block 40 fire attacks.
Don’t be fooled by its unassuming appearance, it is fireproof, waterproof and bulletproof and works really well.
Chen Mo put his hands behind his back and moved closer to watch the veterans debug. About a minute passed.
The images captured by the four large drones that were just launched began to appear one by one.
This thing is much more powerful than the hand-cranked one just now. It has a range of more than 200 kilometers. Not long after it was launched, it has already caught up with the convoy.
Through the notebook screen.
It can be clearly seen that the tank convoy is still moving forward. Since they have not yet left the Taishan Mountains, there is no need for the companies to separate for maneuvering.
The steel torrent on the ground pulled out huge gray waves, and four drones projected a clear panoramic view from four different directions.
Chen Mo doesn’t know much about current drone brands, but he still has some good eyesight.
He stared at it for a moment.
He said, "This one is much more powerful than the individual soldier's just now. It has a forward-looking infrared detection system, a color CCD camera, a laser rangefinder, and look here, there's also a data link and communication system."
"If we rely on this for nighttime reconnaissance and then send the data link to the command vehicle, we can carry out precise bombing of the target from dozens of kilometers away."
Originally, there were quite a few people speaking at the scene.
After all, many people were seeing this thing for the first time, but Chen Mo explained all the functions of the 206 vehicle-mounted drone in just a few words.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
The only sixth-level drone control and maintenance sergeant in the entire military region looked at Chen Mo in surprise.
"Can you understand these structures?"
This question made Chen Mo frown. He didn't even know such simple things as infrared detection and rangefinder.
How can I have the nerve to talk about informatization all the time?
"I know a little."
Chen Mo nodded slightly. He ignored the looks around him and looked at the old sergeant and asked, "Does this have a satellite communication system installed?"
"If there is a satellite communication system, we can communicate with ground vehicles over very long distances, or connect to battlefield C4ISR systems, and achieve information warfare within a certain range."
Facing Chen Mo's question.
The old sergeant was a little confused. He was just a professional operator and maintenance personnel of the drones equipped by the military region, not a researcher or researcher. How could he understand these things?
The veteran turned and looked at Zhang Jinnan.
Vice President Zhang's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, he was an academic, not a researcher.
He knows nothing.
Realizing that something was wrong, the vice president and the professional-level non-commissioned officer were both stumped by the scholar's question.
Although Luo Yaowu didn't understand, he didn't hesitate. Instead, he asked directly, "What's the point of adding satellite systems and connecting to battlefield C4ISR?"
"What do you mean by achieving partial information warfare?"
"Report!"
I heard Director Luo ask.
Chen Mo straightened his body quickly and said, "I've read a theoretical book on informatization in college before."
"It's mentioned above that if a drone is connected to a satellite, it can communicate with a helicopter over a very long distance, and control commands can be issued through the helicopter."
"You can test the enemy's firepower. This is a bit useless unless the enemy has no air defense deployment."
"But if it is connected to the battlefield C4ISR system, the drone itself can be equipped with a communication system to perform communication relay tasks."
"Equipped with an electronic countermeasure system, it can directly interfere with radar and communications within a certain range over enemy bases, paralyzing the affected troops."
“You cry out to the heavens, but no one will answer you; you cry out to the earth, but no one will answer you.”
"Interference, the communication radar is paralyzed." Luo Yaowu's face changed immediately when he heard this theory.
He knew only too well how dangerous it would be if a mechanized unit became paralyzed and its coordinates were exposed.
"Quick, call Director Ma of the Institute and ask him to verify whether Chen Mo's suggestion is feasible."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Shuajun, who was standing by, ran towards the phone.
Luo Yaowu stood there with a somewhat excited look on his face, waiting quietly.
They don't understand drones, but there are people in the Lu Academy who do, as long as the theory Chen Mo said is feasible.
So for this exercise, the academy went directly to the unit that developed 206 to ask for advice on the specific operations.
This matter must also be implemented.
Interference, paralysis, and just stimulating to listen to.
Looking at the usually calm and reserved Luo Yaowu, he suddenly became visibly excited.
Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Chen Mo.
No, this kid's luck is just too good to be true? Damn, just read this book, and the theory above is just applicable to the present moment.
Even the director of the strategic and campaign department of the Army Academy would be so interested in it.
This luck is too good to be true, isn't it?
But how could they know?
Chen Mo was not reading a book at all, but the interference function of this drone was based on the principle of the pollution source of the cruise missiles developed in later generations.
It’s just that he happened to bring it up at the right time, if it could really have an effect in reality.
Push this technology forward a few years.
His contribution is not small.
