They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 220 The layout of the critical battle shocked the whole brigade
Battalion headquarters combat command room.

Several network engineers are using the simulated confrontation system, together with staff members, to study how to fight a tough battle.

This is also the order given by Chen Ming to them. In the early days of the formation of the Fifth Battalion, there was no condition to participate in other battle styles. There were no training objects and no combat experience. They could only simulate targets virtually. Attacking tough battles was undoubtedly the most suitable and simplest. fighting style.

Chen Ming looked at the back for a while. The technology of the Fire Knife Team was relatively complete. They had been using this system internally for a long time and had rich experience. From the initial visual command terminal, it was upgraded to a simulated training of the combined battalion troop command information system. .

When simulating combat, the screen appears in color. Similar to the Red Alert game, armored vehicles, long-range artillery vehicles, and infantry units can be perfectly modeled and simulated on the screen.

The attack route and travel route will be marked with dotted lines, and the firepower parameters and damage radius have numerical values, which can be clearly understood through simulation.

"How has the simulation of critical battles been in recent days?" Chen Ming stared at the screen and looked at training staff officer Li Kaisheng.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. If we target the rockery at the training ground and all six companies of the battalion coordinate the attack, there will be no problem."

"Okay." Chen Ming nodded.

"Immediately organize manpower, establish a comprehensive command and control platform, simulated battalion command vehicle, simulated company platoon command vehicle, open the virtual force generation platform, and open the operation management center."

"I have arranged to conduct a practical drill in the afternoon. After you prepare these things, I will have other company commanders and platoon commanders come over to watch the entire attack process."

"Since this is the first time that we have participated in combat, the command will be taken over by the comprehensive guidance stage. The battalion party committee and the company party committee will learn together and will not participate in any instructions."

"Yes, we will prepare now."

"Ah."

Chen Ming nodded, left the combat command room, and drove to the training ground. It was not that he was too anxious. After only a few days of training, he had to lead the troops to fight a tough battle.

The situation of the fifth battalion is really too special. It doesn't make much sense to train infantry-tank coordination and infantry-artillery coordination every day.

It has been three or four days since the Jingwu Lecture Hall started, and the popularization of synthetic tactics and theory has also gained a certain foundation.

This is just like students studying in school. After studying for a period of time, they always have to take a test to verify their recent learning results.

The Hesheng 100th Battalion training ground is not far from the vehicle and artillery field. At this time, more than 191 tanks are roaring forward on the training ground. The armored vehicles are advancing in a fan shape. On both sides, soldiers of the infantry detachment are practicing infantry coordination with [-] assault rifles.

This is a type of infantry-tank coordination. Troops have been training for a long time. However, with the changes in tactics, the earliest infantry-tank coordination has fallen behind because the speeds of tanks and infantry are different.

According to the earliest model, tanks attacked in front and infantry followed behind the tanks. In this case, the tanks could block bullets for the soldiers.

If the situation at the front of the battlefield is too complicated and anti-tank firepower is deployed, infantry will need to be in front to clear the fire points and clear the way for the tanks in the rear.

This is one of the earliest.

At present, the fifth battalion can only achieve this effect. If it were replaced by the current large-depth assault, this method of coordinated infantry and tank operations would not be suitable.

Because the infantry simply cannot keep up with the speed of the tanks, nor the firepower, in a large-depth raid, a tank group can break through the enemy's defense line in a very short time and enter the depth of the enemy's army.

Encircle and cut the enemy.

However, large-depth raid operations also have shortcomings. If they are all tanks, armored vehicles, and no infantry, then the captured areas will be undefended and problems will easily occur in the rear.

There is no infantry unit, and no one can provide corresponding cooperation to the armored forces. After all, large-depth operations require very high logistics support. The replenishment of ammunition and fuel replenishment require some other weapons and equipment to follow these armored vehicles. Tanks, attack together.

Infantry-tank coordination, infantry-artillery coordination training is a level, increasing layer by layer.

Judging from the current size of the combined battalion, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles have been assigned to infantry collaborative operations. Not only that, various reconnaissance methods have been added to the collaborative operations, so that the firepower deployment ahead can be known immediately.

Including aerial coordination must be in place.

The reason is also very simple. The biggest problem with tanks is that they cannot see far. They are semi-blind and can only see a distance of 2000 meters.

Moreover, it is not possible to look around, because looking around requires constant rotation back and forth, which will greatly affect the combat.

UAVs and helicopters are needed for assistance. Another point is that the weak point of the tank is on the top, and the air defense settings must be arranged. At close range, anti-tank missiles are not even needed. Just RPG rockets can destroy a tank from above.

The coordination of infantry and tanks alone can cause so many problems. The fifth battalion still has a long way to go.

Chen Ming shook his head, thinking as he drove to the outskirts of the training ground, parked the vehicle nearby, got out of the car and walked towards Du Longfei's position.

In the past few days of training, Chen Ming did not come to the training ground to keep an eye on it. This was not his responsibility. He only focused on making plans and solving problems when they happened. He had no energy to deal with anything else.

Therefore, whether the afternoon offensive can be arranged smoothly still depends on the battalion commander's wishes.

If the foundation is too poor, even the coordination cannot be synchronized, and the offensive battle will be very difficult. Even the entire unit of more than 1000 people will fall into chaos before it can hit the enemy.

Du Longfei was standing on a slightly higher ground observing the training situation ahead. When he heard footsteps coming from behind, he put down the telescope in his hand and turned to look behind him.

"Old Chen? Why are you here?"

"Come on, let's take a look at the actual training situation of each company. I think the progress has been quite big. At least the coordination has been initially carried out in the past two days."

With that said, Du Longfei handed the telescope in his hand to Chen Ming. Chen Ming was not polite and took it, looking towards the training ground in the distance.

At the same time, he suggested: "Battal Commander, I plan to arrange a critical battle in the afternoon to test the waters first. How do you feel?"

"With the current coordination capabilities of each company, can it support the cooperation in a tough battle?"

"Let's use the rockery at the training ground as the enemy's base and conduct an offensive and defensive battle." Chen Ming pointed to the hilltop in the distance.

"Battle of fortification?"

Du Longfei was slightly startled and said: "Isn't it too early to arrange this now? The training time of each company is too short, and even the support company and support company are not very familiar with their positioning."

"If we arrange it at this time, I'm afraid the fight will be very bad."

"It doesn't matter. I just know that the fight will be very bad, so I arranged to fight. If we have the ability to fight well, we don't need to be virtual. We can just drag the first battalion of the 169th Brigade out to fight. It is more direct." Chen Ming laughed. said.

"Looking for a fight with the first battalion?" Du Longfei smiled bitterly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he felt a little emotional. Chen Ming was indeed young and dared to fight.

The first battalion is a heavily-armed combined battalion. You may not feel anything just by hearing their names, but one thing cannot be denied. The first and second battalions are the main combined battalions of the entire brigade. With the current combat strength of the fifth battalion, if you encounter the first battalion, It can be said that there was no chance to react.

The whole army will be wiped out.

The large-scale combined battalion, especially the heavy armor, is no joke on the battlefield, and the pressure to face them is not small.

It was only Chen Ming who dared to treat the First Battalion as a whetstone from the very beginning.

Instructor Zhang Jintao, who was also observing the training situation in the distance, heard the two chatting and walked over with a smile and said: "Old Chen, I guess you don't know that our Battalion Commander Du was the deputy battalion of the first battalion and was transferred to serve as the battalion commander of the fifth battalion. .”

"You planned to poke fun at the battalion commander's lair right now, but that's really unkind."

"Haha." Chen Ming smiled slightly awkwardly. He really didn't know that Du Longfei was transferred from the First Battalion. He never asked this question after coming here.

After all, if you are doing a good job in your original unit, and you are suddenly transferred to a new unit, to put it nicely, it means that the superiors take it seriously, and to put it worst, it means that the original unit will be fine with or without you.

It’s not easy to ask this question.

Du Longfei waved his hand: "That's okay. It's a good thing for Lao Chen to compare the first battalion, but at present we really don't have the strength to go head-to-head with the opponent."

"As for arranging the attack in the afternoon, I'm afraid I need to apply to the brigade headquarters for this. After all, mobilizing thousands of troops and equipping them with ammunition for exercises, even if it's just a round of attack, the movement caused can alert the brigade headquarters. This needs to be reported."

"Well, the brigade chief won't have any objections. The faster we make progress, the better it will be for the chief above."

"I'm going to apply now. Lao Chen, you arrange the company commanders and backbones of each company to start gathering and make unified arrangements."

"For the first time, whether it is a simulation or training, the brigade headquarters will definitely send people over to watch. We must be fully prepared."

"It doesn't matter if the fight is bad, but you must not make a mess, otherwise the three of us may have to be punished."

"In a drill, shells are flying everywhere, so be prepared."

"I'm going to report it. It won't work if I don't report it."

"This is natural." Chen Ming nodded. Let alone the Fifth Battalion with more than 1000 people, even an ordinary company with more than 100 people must report to the higher ups during drills.

Otherwise, units in the military region are doing physical exercises on the training ground, and suddenly the sound of artillery is heard from a certain direction. If there is no advance notification, such a sound will be no less shocking than the air defense sirens sounding in the entire military region at night.

It is even possible for the entire army to assemble.

"I will gather the company commanders together later and go to the battalion headquarters combat command room first to watch the entire process of the offensive and defensive battles several times and ask them to record all the details and follow them." "First execute it rigidly. After they have become familiar with the combat methods of the combined battalion, it will not be too late to relinquish command, but now they do not have the ability to command."

"Okay, then we'll arrange a critical battle in the afternoon. I'll go to the brigade headquarters now."

Du Longfei was also impatient. As soon as Chen Ming expressed his thoughts, he handed the telescope and radio pager directly to Chen Ming, turned around and drove away.

Chen Ming was already used to the battalion commander's character of doing whatever he said and leaving as soon as he said it. He took the telescope and continued to observe the situation on the training ground.

The offensive battle was only part of his plan. Asking the fifth battalion company to follow the set battle route would be equivalent to copying homework. If he couldn't do it well.

The development of Wuying is really a bit bad.

The training of the combined battalion is to improve joint operations. It is different from the previous conventional troop training. Although the physical requirements are also very high, it cannot always be limited to physical training.

You can't train all the time.

In the information age, the probability of large corps fighting is getting lower and lower. Just like the previous crowd-sea tactics, when the charge bugle blew, the mountains and fields were filled with people. That kind of scene may never happen again.

On the contrary, the combined battalion system supports the combat method of elite soldiers, which can definitely shine on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the combined battalion will undertake strategically decisive, parallel, three-dimensional, and rapid joint combat operations.

Under the current general premise of modern warfare, it is necessary to enter the battle quickly to achieve the goals of rapid arrival, rapid maneuvering, and rapid deployment.

Otherwise, if we continue to mobilize a huge combat organization as before, and it only takes several days to travel, by the time it is actually put into the battlefield, I am afraid that the war will be over long ago.

The training in the combined camp is all targeted. First, we must understand why and what kind of war we are fighting, and make adjustments to the training based on the opponent's threats.

This also requires the organizers of the combined camp training to analyze from a common perspective what operational capabilities are necessary to perform tasks.

The five-kilometer, 400-meter, shooting training, bomb-dropping training, climbing tactics, etc. that I have experienced when I first entered the military camp are almost invisible here.

The unified approach was replaced by fire strikes, impact penetration, direct-aimed destruction shooting, opening up pathways, storming forward fortifications, deep attacks and resisting enemy counterattacks.

If you just listen to the names of these subjects, you can calculate that the training resources consumed by a combined battalion are far more than that of a previous division.

Why are divisions transformed into brigades, regiment-level units eliminated, and corps, brigades, and battalions retained? Isn't it just to lay off a large number of ordinary troops, save resources and expenses, and use them to research more high-tech weapons and successfully establish a combined battalion.

To pave the way for synthetic troops.

So, it's done.

Worrying about this and that will result in no results in the end, and any training is meaningless.

Looking at the training ground, the round of impact was over, and the company commanders were gathering soldiers to prepare for the summary of the training. Chen Ming picked up the radio pager and shouted: "Every company platoon cadre, hand over the work in hand, come quickly to gather, there will be new ones in the afternoon." Task arrangement.”

"In response to the order, the cadres of each company and platoon took over the work and gathered quickly."

"Armored infantry company received!"

"Tank company received!"

"Artillery battery received!"

"Engineer unit received!"

~~~~~
Just 3 minutes later, the radio pager transmitted the instructions received by each company.

The company commanders and platoon commanders of each company gathered at the entrance of the training ground.

Chen Ming glanced at the commanders and soldiers of each company in front of him, and asked with a smile: "How do you feel about the training in the past few days?"

"Each company can ask any questions they have."

question? ! !

The assembled company commanders looked at each other a few times. The commander of the armored infantry company, Ma Hongjie, thought for a moment and shouted loudly: "Report, Staff Chen, I have to say that we have encountered a lot of problems. The artillery battery in the rear cannot keep up with the attack." Due to the speed, the support company's reconnaissance cannot be synchronized, so we have no way to know the situation ahead in the first time."

“On several occasions during collaborative training, there were situations where the road ahead was blocked and the simulated route was wrong.”

"This will delay the process."

"Yeah." Chen Ming nodded after listening. What they said was a blocked road ahead during training. That was a simulated route during the coordination process. For example, placing a blocking cone on the training ground, and the armored infantry company was responsible for opening the road and maneuvering to ensure the safety. The company is responsible for exploring the road. Failure to report such obstacles to the frontline troops immediately will cause the entire battalion to stagnate.

"What about you, what problems have you encountered during training?"

"Report." The tank company commander He Pin also stood up and said loudly: "Staff Chen, there is still a small problem in coordination. The main reason is that the instructions from all parties are not clear. The support company cannot feedback real-time road conditions to our side. The armored infantry The company cannot communicate with the rear combat units in a timely manner."

"It will always lead to errors in the direction of our entire company's assault. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is no way to rectify it in a short time."

After listening to the tank company report.

Chen Ming shook his head. He felt that there was no need to continue listening.

These are still the simplest issues - collaboration.

If you can't even handle this, let alone those details, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it even if I stand here talking for a day and a night.

Seeing that the company commanders of other companies were still reporting, Chen Ming simply waved his hand: "Okay, let's not mention any problems for now."

"How to coordinate and synthesize the combined battalion? Many of you still rely on the ideas of the old armored troops and coordinate in advance. Everything is centered on you and let other arms cooperate with you."

"As long as this kind of inertial thinking is mixed in, the powerful assault capability of the combined battalion and the information command system that goes straight to the end will never be able to be brought into play."

"I want you to train, not to focus on armored vehicles and tanks. Let's do this. Everyone sets off to the battalion headquarters combat command room now."

"The virtual forces there have all been restored according to the existing organization of our fifth battalion, and we have to fight a tough battle on the virtual system."

"Each of you clearly understands the mission of your respective company in this critical battle. If it's not enough, then read it ten times. If ten times is not enough, then read it a hundred times. When will you understand it and ponder it thoroughly?"

"Tell all the scenes you saw to the people below, and then we will start the tough battle in the afternoon on the training ground."

"Put your command authority in the battalion headquarters combat command center. I will command and you will fight."

"Using this method, I want to see if you can put up a decent fighting force."

Hand over command? ! ! !

A group of company commanders looked around excitedly. Their biggest problem at the moment was not knowing how to command.

During training, the armored infantry company wanted to rush to the front, and the tank company also wanted to rush to the front.

Even the engineer detachment wanted to try it.

After spending this time together, everyone has become clear about Chen Ming's ability. If the command is given to him, the coordination ability of the entire fifth battalion can be at least doubled.

This is a rare learning opportunity.

As the order was issued, a group of company commanders and platoon commanders actively prepared to go to the battalion headquarters combat command room.

at the same time.

Because the Fifth Battalion was going to fight a tough battle, the report was reported to the brigade headquarters.

Wang Junwei, commander of the 169th Synthetic Brigade, agreed without thinking. He picked up the phone and negotiated with the air assault brigade to arrange for the last company of the fifth battalion, the helicopter squadron, to be dispatched as soon as possible.

Facilitate the next tough battle.

Not only that, Xu Wenqian, chief of staff of the brigade, learned that the fifth battalion had just been established for just one week and would organize a critical battle, so he also began to prepare to go.

In an instant, the entire 169th Brigade focused its attention on the fifth battalion, including the first, second, and third battalions. Several battalion commanders of the fourth battalion also planned to go.

Just one week after its formation, it dared to apply for a critical battle. This is quite explosive news in the history of the formation of the combined battalion.

Almost no one is optimistic about the fifth battalion's arrangement this time.
