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

Chapter 224: The offensive battle is over, dig a hole for the battalion commander
Outside the 169th Battalion training ground, commanders of each battalion of the [-]th Brigade drove their cars to gather here one after another since the lunch break in the afternoon.

Everyone wanted to see how confident the Fifth Battalion was in applying for a critical battle so quickly.

The biggest test of the simulated attack is coordination ability. There are eight companies, six of which are involved in the battle. Even if the helicopter squadron does not take part, there are still five companies to cooperate, and the engineering detachment is responsible for the periphery. This kind of difficulty is difficult for other synthetic battalions that have already been established. Said, nature is not a problem.

But for the Fifth Battalion, it was too difficult.

As soon as [-]st Battalion Commander Shan Chao arrived at the outskirts of the [-]th Battalion training ground, [-]nd Battalion Commander Wang Lingen walked over from a distance and laughed: "Old Dan, you can't sit still anymore?"

"The commander of the fifth battalion is the deputy battalion transferred from your first battalion. He is courageous enough. I said there is no problem for Long Fei to serve as the commander of the fifth battalion."

"No, it has only been established for more than a week, and yet it dares to go to the brigade headquarters and approach the chief to apply for a tough battle. It is more courageous than we were at that time."

Shan Chao frowned. Several of them had the courage of the Hammers. From the first to the fourth battalion, when they were established, the battalion commanders were Xu Wenqian, chief of staff of the brigade.

The entire 169th Brigade, except for the brigade staff, did not have the ability to lead a combined battalion from scratch.

The original establishment of the fifth battalion failed because the establishment was too large and there was no suitable manpower to take charge. The chief of staff could not be transferred to the battalion again to serve as the battalion commander. The shortage of talents led to the end of the matter.

The scale of the establishment this time is larger than last time. Shan Chao felt that it was unreasonable to apply for a critical battle in a short period of time.

Looking at the tanks in the distance that are ready to go, the visual impact brought by more than 200 tanks is definitely not comparable to that of dozens of tanks.

More than 1000 soldiers were dispersed into square formations, standing behind the tanks, waiting for combat orders.

Seeing this scene, Shan Chao waved his hand and ignored the second battalion commander. He didn't know that this time the command of the fifth battalion was not in the hands of the company commanders, and even the command structure was not in the training ground.

I thought that the fifth battalion and the first battalion were using the same model. I stared at the chariot group and then at the warrior formation, feeling increasingly worried.

The Fifth Battalion put a lot of thought into establishing this military region to improve the overall combat strength of the 169th Brigade.

It is good to be motivated when applying for a tough battle rashly, but it is not the right policy to blindly seek speed.

Brigade Chief of Staff Xu Wenqian was also staring at the training ground from a distance, looking forward to the performance of the [-]th Battalion this time. His brows were furrowed, and his deep worry was evident. It was obvious that while he was looking forward to it, he was not very optimistic about this tough battle, thinking that The fifth battalion was too hasty.

Last year, one of the synthetic brigades of the 78th Group Army received the first batch of transformation and construction orders from the military region, allowing them to form a new type of synthetic battalion.

Combined warfare has a long history. The concept of combined operations appeared decades ago, but at that time the country was weak and could not support such a plan.

Various synthetic units began to appear in the army more than ten years ago, but they were not promoted throughout the army. It was not until the divisions were transformed into brigades that they were implemented on a large scale.

All things considered, this journey has been quite difficult, but no unit has dared to apply for a critical battle in just one week like the Fifth Battalion, depending on their coordination and cooperation capabilities.

Really courageous.

Even Xu Wenqian is not optimistic about this plan.

And this time.

The combat command room of the fifth battalion headquarters.

The atmosphere here is no more relaxed than that at the training ground.

More than a dozen network engineers and more than 30 staff members are already in place in front of the computer.

Chen Ming stood in front of the command system, and the high-altitude drone had already projected the images from the training ground onto the big screen.

Everyone also saw the crowd of onlookers through the screen, saw hundreds of tanks ready to go, and even saw more than 1000 soldiers getting ready to go.

"Are you ready?" Chen Ming asked in a deep voice.

"Report, the comprehensive guidance and control platform has been tested and can issue combat instructions in real time."

"Report, the battalion simulation command system structure is completed."

"Report, the simulation command system structure has been completed."

"The combat offensive and defensive system platform has been tested."

"."

As reports came to Chen Ming's ears one after another, his brain began to work rapidly. Each company commander had already seen how to fight a tough battle.

It's very simple, just use a hill on the training ground as the enemy's headquarters and attack it.

But an attack is not a random fight. All combat units must coordinate and advance together, and there must not be the slightest mistake.

Battalion Commander Du Longfei stood nearby and looked on with a serious face. Instructor Zhang Jintao also frowned and opened and clenched his palms, indicating that he was extremely uneasy inside.

Everyone was nervous, but Chen Ming was the calmest.

He looked away from the big screen and turned to look at the director's desk: "Pass my order, and the whole battalion will start loading the ammunition for the exercise. In 5 minutes, the battle will officially begin."

"Send the order and start loading the exercise ammunition. The battle will officially begin in 5 minutes."

Along with Chen Ming's instructions, which were issued through the director's desk, the soldiers who were originally lined up neatly on the training field all heard the orders from their wireless headsets.

More than 1000 people acted simultaneously.

Armored infantry companies that do not need to assemble artillery shells for armored vehicles will mobilize key personnel to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the tanks.

In offensive and defensive battles, armored vehicles serve as protection and transportation tasks. Their firepower delay is too high and they do not have the ability to fight close-range critical battles.

The busy and orderly scene was all seen by the officers who came to watch the fun.

The commander of the first battalion, Shan Chao, nodded slightly. The worry on his face had faded a lot. Although it was only the reloading stage, every company could move quickly and in an orderly manner, which already had a certain combat effectiveness.

But in terms of collaboration, we still have to wait for actual action before we can draw a conclusion.

After 5 minutes, everyone was ready to go.

Chen Ming began to issue instructions.

"All companies in the battalion are ready for battle. The engineer unit's obstacle breaker vehicles are at the forefront, the armored infantry company's ground guidance team is clearing the way in columns, and the wheeled armored vehicles are opening a 500-meter protective circle at the outermost periphery and advancing in a fan shape."

"The artillery company is responsible for breaking off the rear, and the tank company drives the main battle tank to follow the armored vehicle."

"The support company, support company command vehicle and reconnaissance operation vehicle are located in the middle of the protective circle. Set off according to the formation."

"Support company, investigate the road conditions ahead."

With the command podium conveying orders.

The fifth battalion and more than 200 tanks quickly started to open the battle line.

The engineer detachment combined minesweepers and obstacle breakers and quickly maneuvered to the forefront of the tank.

The ground guidance team of the armored infantry company began to advance closely following the minesweeper.

Wheeled armor followed the lead team in a fan shape.

inside.

Main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and mortars all began to activate in an orderly manner.

Dozens of drones from the support company took off into the air, passing over all the vehicles in the front row, and dropped all the footage on the forward route onto the command vehicle.

The training ground started with the start of the combat vehicles, and smoke and dust filled the sky. It only took 200 minutes for more than 5 combat vehicles to be arranged.

"set off!"

With a rumble, the training ground shook, and hundreds of tanks started to move according to the previously prepared formation.

The offensive and defensive battle officially began.

Chen Ming stared closely at the footage from the training ground. He was impeccable with the control of the company's tanks and the changes in the lineup.

After traveling a few hundred meters.

Based on the feedback from the drone, the support company immediately simulated the specific coordinates of the enemy's highlands and transmitted them to each company.

The battalion combat headquarters receives enemy coordinates.

Chen Ming began to issue instructions in an orderly manner.

"Artillery battery, aim at the enemy's high ground and fire communication jamming bombs."

"The artillery company and support company attack the target point, and the armored infantry company and tank company launch the charge."

In an instant.

Dozens of electromagnetic interference bombs were launched into the air, targeting simulated enemy troops for bombing.

In the rear, anti-aircraft guns and truck guns locked onto the enemy positions detected by the support company.

A volley of artillery shells was fired.

Rumbling, violent explosions stirred up billowing smoke and dust, covering the entire high ground.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ming simulated the enemy's air defense layout and dispatched enemy helicopters to attack from the southeast corner.

The special reconnaissance team learned that the enemy was dispatched and took action at the same time to interfere with the enemy's radar detection. During this interference gap, the support company conveyed the specific coordinates of the enemy helicopter to the support company.

The support company's anti-aircraft guns locked position and fired.

There were no mistakes in the coordination of the first round of offensive battle. Chen Ming waved his hand and said: "Give me the order. Twenty infantry fighting vehicles will appear on the simulated enemy high ground and thirty main battle tanks will fight."

"Simulate the appearance of enemy troops and prepare each company to fight."

While the first round of attack went smoothly, orders from the director's desk were issued to each company.There are enemy infantry fighting vehicles and tanks to fight against.

The order was received, although there was no news from the battalion headquarters that Chen Ming was commanding the response.

The companies of the [-]th Battalion responded in the shortest time. The engineering unit's wrecker vehicles immediately retreated from the front row. The wheeled armored vehicles shifted their positions and opened a gap in the front. The main battle tanks and truck cannons accelerated their speed and hit them one after another. At the front, withstand the enemy's attack and carry out fire strikes.

The support company in the rear transmitted the position of the enemy's simulated tank to the support company through a drone, and the coordinates were exposed. In an instant, the support company's anti-aircraft guns and howitzers immediately locked the position of the enemy tanks.

boom!boom!boom!
When the virtual target is destroyed.

Armored infantry companies, tank companies, and artillery companies have moved to the foot of the enemy's high mountains.

The infantry detachment among the three companies came out of the tank and carried portable artillery. The infantry cooperated with the wheeled armored vehicle to maneuver, using the vehicle body as a bunker to carry out high-speed mobile individual fire strikes on the enemy's high ground in the distance.

When the artillery company maneuvered to the foot of the mountain, the entire company stopped advancing and took on the task of suppressing fire at the foot of the mountain. The armored infantry company and tank company continued to advance, occupying the enemy's high ground step by step.

Chen Ming had been standing in the combat command room of the battalion headquarters, watching and leading the entire offensive.

Accompanying the infantry detachment was the first to arrive at the enemy's high ground.

A tough battle is over.

Battalion Commander Du Longfei's serious expression slowly melted away, revealing a smile. Instructor Zhang Jintao slowly opened his clenched fists and let out a sigh of relief.

Although the simulated offensive battle is simple, the requirements for the armored infantry company, artillery company, tank company, support company, support company, engineering team, and special reconnaissance team are particularly high.

A tight fit is necessary.

The support company should discover the enemy's coordinates as soon as possible, the special operations team should carry out interference to delay the enemy's reconnaissance and attack, the support company should build an air defense system, the artillery company should attack from a distance, and the tank company should attack at close range.

The engineering unit ensures all logistics, which looks simple and sounds simple, as long as one of the links fails.

The entire battlefield will be a mess.

The two laughed heartily, and the entire fifth battalion combat command room, more than 30 staff officers, and more than 20 network engineers all had smiles on their faces.

Not easy.

Even if the simulated attack on the enemy is only simulated, it does not have any lethality or even the ability to fight back.

No matter how hard the companies of the fifth battalion fought, they could not lose.

But after all, the simulation is not about the final victory or defeat, but about the cooperation between the companies. Now it is obvious that there is no problem with the cooperation.

The power of the synergy of the synthetic battalion has really been initially demonstrated.

Only Chen Ming stood in front of the big screen, silently watching the footage returned by the high-altitude drone. The infantry detachment that had captured the enemy's high ground was hugging each other excitedly, sharing the fruits of victory.

Chen Ming was not unhappy.

But this outcome was originally the ending that he had been planning for so long.

It just reaches expectations faster.

This tough battle is not so much fought by the soldiers of the fifth battalion as it is fought by Chen Ming leading the staff of the battalion combat command room and the network engineers.

Because all the simulated combat effectiveness of the enemy forces was dictated by him and handed down by the staff, and he was also the one who made suggestions for the details of the battle and the way to fight, and reached each company through the director's stage.

Even if this kind of battle is won, it does not mean that each company has the ability to coordinate.

Still need to practice more.

"Haha, Old Chen, you still have the courage. If it weren't for today's simulated battle, I really wouldn't know that our fifth battalion has initially achieved combat effectiveness."

"Well done, my heart doesn't have to worry anymore." Du Longfei ran over, grinning widely. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.

"Yes, if Lao Chen had not arranged this simulated battle, I think it would have been at least two months before we could try it. This method of first gaining combat effectiveness and then running in can really boost morale." Instructor Zhang Jintao was also standing by. smiled.

"Well, it's quite successful." Chen Ming nodded.

Looking at the screen, the officers who stayed at the training ground to watch the battle began to leave in their cars. If they guessed correctly, they should have come to the battalion headquarters.

Du Longfei went to the brigade headquarters to report at that time. He did not say how to direct this critical battle. He just said that he would fight and try to adjust.

The officers who came to watch the excitement had no idea that the battalion commander, instructors, and the core command team were not in the command vehicle at the training ground.

It should be that something is wrong now. The critical battle has been fought, but the battalion commander has not been seen giving instructions. If we can't find it again, we will be too behind the times.

Chen Ming smiled when he saw this scene and said, come on, the fifth battalion's training methods will be known to other battalions sooner or later. Anyway, he didn't plan to keep playing simulations.

It's time to take advantage of this time to see if we can agree on a confrontation with other battalions.

Chen Ming had no interest in fighting the light synthetic battalions like the Third and Fourth Battalions because they were too weak. The entire battalion only had three infantry units, and the infantry fighting vehicles they were equipped with were all light and could be transported long distances by helicopter. kind.

In addition to the three infantry detachments, there are also tank companies, fire companies, and helicopter squadrons. If this organization is placed in front of the fifth battalion, Chen Ming is confident that he can crush them even if he commands with his eyes closed.

The configurations are different and there is no comparison.

He wanted to fight the 169st Battalion, the [-]th Brigade's most powerful and well-equipped battalion at present.

But according to the current situation of the fifth battalion, it will be a bit difficult to apply directly. After all, the number of one battalion plus five battalions is 2000. It is impossible for the brigade headquarters to spend such a large loss to meet the needs here just because of a single application.

Ultimately, the foundation of Wuying is too shallow.

This depends on how the battalion commander applies.

Chen Ming thought for a moment and looked at Du Longfei with a smile, ready to dig a hole for him and ask him to go to the brigade headquarters to apply again.

Try to obtain the consent of the brigade headquarters.

"Battal Commander, this simulation indeed exceeded our expectations, and the coordination was well done."

"But, battalion commander, have you ever thought that during the simulated attack battle, it seems that every company has the combat strength of a combined battalion."

"But if this unsuspecting single unit of arms is replaced by a prepared simulated combined battalion force, what is our winning rate?"

Simulating a synthetic camp? ! !
Du Longfei shook his head. He still didn't understand Chen Ming's thoughts, but he also knew that even if he had more confidence in the fifth battalion, it would be almost impossible to defeat the simulated synthetic battalion.

Just now, Chen Ming only simulated a few helicopters, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

Facing this kind of lineup, the more than 200 tanks of the fifth battalion can be crushed by them even if they are forced to overwhelm them without cooperation.

After all, we just looked at coordination, firepower coordination, and whether each company can exert its own strength.

If the enemy army was prepared, it would be impossible to wait for the fifth battalion to gather and equip themselves with ammunition, and then the battle would begin from the very beginning.

Looking at Chen Ming thoughtfully, he seemed to be preparing his next plan.

Du Longfei grinned and said, "What about that, Lao Chen, don't be too demanding. You can't become fat with just one bite. It's unexpected that the fifth battalion can achieve this level of coordination within a week."

"As for the simulated opponent being a synthetic battalion, we still have to go step by step and play a few more simulated offensive and defensive battles."

"It's not enough to just play simulations. Our battalion headquarters and the companies below will not really realize how powerful a synthetic battalion of the same size is. After all, only when there is pressure, there is motivation." Chen Ming smiled, He looked at the battalion commander with burning eyes.

"What do you mean?" Facing this look, Du Longfei's brows jumped, and he finally felt that Chen Ming was digging a hole for him step by step.

Chen Ming's thinking is different from those of them. He never pursues a steady and step-by-step approach.

The idea of ​​having combat effectiveness first and then getting used to it was simply not realistic in the army before.

It is equivalent to a new recruit entering the army and not having to do anything. They just hold a gun and fight the enemy.

Learn about the experience of being a soldier from fighting in battle.

It's just that when fighting, you wear a radio headset on your head, and someone directs you how to shoot, how to aim, how to fight, and how to retreat after the fight.

Who can adapt to this mode of thinking from the beginning?

Maybe the model of the Fifth Battalion is not as exaggerated as the recruits' example, but the thinking is just like this.

"Nothing." Chen Ming saw the slightly wary look in the battalion commander's eyes and said happily: "Batalion Commander, why don't we apply for a confrontation with the first battalion next month, in the middle of the month, to test the combat capabilities of the fifth battalion. "

"Only in this way can we make rapid progress in combat. Besides, you know the organization of the first battalion and you also know their fighting habits. We can study the details of the battle a month in advance."

"During the confrontation, we can also rely on the simulated force generator to simulate the strength of the first battalion and use it to fight us. One month should be enough to find the weaknesses of the first battalion."

"Fight with the First Battalion?"

Du Longfei stared, not daring to answer this question.

It was true that he was transferred from the deputy battalion of the first battalion, but it was precisely because of this that he knew the difference between the first battalion and the fifth battalion. There was no comparison at all.

The newly formed battalion is facing off against the established strong battalion. This is not today's tough battle. It is very difficult. From commander to soldier, the first battalion has experienced hundreds of battles, has its own thinking, and will enter the battle in a targeted manner. .

The difficulty is not low.

No matter how many simulations there are, it is useless, it is a real confrontation.

Du Longfei did not dare to respond immediately.

But at this time, the brigade chief of staff and the commander of the first and second battalions, who had been watching the excitement outside, found the command room of the fifth battalion.

A group of people walked in directly and happened to hear Chen Ming's suggestion just now.
