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

Chapter 228 Visiting the first battalion, only with honor can we have cohesion

There are vehicles from the brigade headquarters here, and the first battalion can enter almost unimpeded. Wang Junwei did not arrange for them to go to the training ground, but went directly to the vehicle and artillery field.

After getting off the car, Wang Junwei pointed to the rows of heavy tanks in the field, and said with a serious look and a bit of pride: "Chen Ming."

"arrive."

"This is the first battalion's vehicle and artillery range. You can take a look at the weapon configuration here."

"The First Battalion was established earlier and is not as innovative as the Fifth Battalion, but in terms of heavy firepower, it definitely has an advantage over the Fifth Battalion."

Chen Ming followed the brigade commander's direction and turned to look at the 20 99a main battle tanks parked in the distance, as well as the Type 04A infantry fighting vehicle parked side by side.

These heavy armors are the vanguard of the assault and have a strong sense of oppression on the battlefield.

These alone have exceeded the heavy fire configuration of the five battalions. Although this thing is bulky, it can basically carry out intensive firepower attacks on solid field fortifications and fortresses within a range of forty kilometers.

There are also Type 07 122mm self-propelled howitzers and Type 11 40-tube 122mm modular rocket launchers in the distance, coupled with the Hongjian-10 anti-tank missile system. During air defense operations or continuous advancement, they will be accompanied by the Hongqi-17 field air defense system and Type 09 throughout the process. Twin 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns provide air cover.

This is simply a mobile bastard shell. Whether attacking from the outside or from the air, it basically depends on the strength of a battalion and it is impossible to break it.

What's more, the Type 04A infantry fighting vehicle can also carry Hiron individual air defense missiles.

With so many arrangements, it is simply unrealistic to fight them with intensity and head-on. His tactical arrangements are correct and can only be delayed.

This is still a confrontation between two battalions and will not involve the group army. Otherwise, the heavy equipment battalion will have additional support. In wartime or during large-scale exercises, it can obtain the group army's Army Aviation Brigade Wuzhi-10 and Wujian- Air fire support from 19th class helicopters.

也能获得军属拥有300/370mm远程火箭炮系统、05式155mm履带式自行榴弹炮或SH-15型155mm车载榴弹炮等重火力的远程掩护。

If we encounter a heavy-armed battalion with this configuration on the frontal battlefield, based on the current strength of the fifth battalion, it is indeed impossible to defeat it. Let alone another month of training, training for another half a year is enough.

Heavy-duty centering type.

This gap is too big.

Chen Ming looked around and saw that the establishment of the first battalion was indeed very basic. It was organized according to the scale of the combined battalion in previous years. He had learned about this from battalion commander Du Longfei.

There are two armored companies, two tank companies, one firepower company, and one support company. There are six companies in total, with about [-] people.

The firepower company is similar to a five-battalion artillery company, with two self-propelled mortar platoons, an anti-tank platoon, a portable surface-to-air missile platoon, and a sniper squad.

The support company and the fifth battalion's engineering unit have almost the same organization, consisting of a repair platoon, a transportation platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, an engineering platoon, a communications platoon, and a rescue platoon.

Even though it only has less than 800 people, this kind of self-contained main combat battalion, once it arrives on the scene, it will be the king of the land who can kill gods and Buddhas.

It’s very tricky! ! !

Chen Ming walked around the vehicle and artillery field and placed the corresponding tanks into their seats.

From the firepower point of view, the First Battalion had almost no flaws in frontal and long-range aspects. If you want to defeat them, you can only drag your feet first and then fight to the death.

But not absolutely.

Chen Ming thought, the heavy-armed synthetic battalion was slow to maneuver, very slow. Compared to the fifth battalion, their reconnaissance could only rely on the fire company's JWP series artillery calibration drones, as well as the vehicle-mounted reconnaissance drones that supported the support company. , there are very few handheld ones, because even if they are launched, the maneuvering speed cannot keep up.

What's more, the heavy equipment battalion's various investigation information is not obtained by themselves.

On the battlefield, real-time information is jointly shared.

But in a one-on-one situation, there is no such source of joint sharing.

It seems that it is necessary to formulate a special anti-drone squad in the support company and let the people from the special reconnaissance unit cooperate. Once the war begins, the special reconnaissance personnel's skills will be used to first eliminate the reconnaissance capabilities of the first battalion.

Otherwise, there is no way to fight.

Chen Ming thought about it and laughed slowly. Just because he can't attack doesn't mean he can't fight. If you can't attack with concentrated fire, just disperse your firepower to fight. Anyway, there are many people in the fifth battalion, so the cost of fighting can be tolerated.

Soldiers never tire of deceit, and there is no distinction between high and low tactics. Winning is the last word. This method is feasible.

Wang Junwei originally brought Chen Ming here because he wanted him to see the gap. He didn't need to look at the coordination. The cooperation of the old strong camp would not be bad no matter what. Unexpectedly, his method not only failed to scare Chen Ming away, but also made Chen Ming retreat.

Did you entertain him instead? ?A man stood there grinning.

What is this kid thinking about?

Wang Junwei was about to ask him what he thought after seeing the equipment of the first battalion, when a military vehicle quickly drove towards them.

It was Shan Chao, the commander of the [-]st Battalion. He was busy convening a meeting at the battalion headquarters to study the training plan for the past few days and make targeted adjustments. After all, he was going to fight the [-]th Battalion, and not only Chen Ming and the others were prepared.

The First Battalion was no exception.

As a veteran strong camp, they will not underestimate any opponent, especially a newly formed unit like the fifth battalion. Even if the lion fights the rabbit with all its strength, Shanchao will not really be so careless.

Unexpectedly, just halfway through the meeting, he received news from the sentry at the vehicle and artillery field that the brigade commander had arrived.

He hurried over.

Shan Chao got off the car and saw that the two brigade chiefs were there, including the chief staff officer of the fifth battalion. He hurried to Wang Junwei and Xu Guoyang and saluted: "Brigade commander, political commissar, why are you here?"

"There is a meeting going on in the camp."

"Well, is it about the confrontation with the Fifth Battalion?" Wang Junwei asked with a smile.

What he valued most was Shan Chao's advantage, and he was more cautious about everything. Rather than choosing the first battalion, Chen Ming would rather choose the second battalion.

Relatively speaking, the second battalion was slightly weaker than the first battalion.

The formation was still a year late, and the ability to face battles in all aspects can reduce the pressure on the fifth battalion.

"Yes, brigade commander. In the afternoon, Chief of Staff Xu of the brigade decided that the fifth battalion and the first battalion will have a confrontation in a month."

"I am currently discussing with the comrades of the battalion party committee."

"Is there any result?" Wang Junwei asked with a smile.

"Not yet." Shan Chao responded truthfully, indeed not. The Fifth Battalion was not an organized unit, so there was no way to include their overall strength in the analysis.

We can only analyze them one by one based on their organization, and then record all the tactics they may use. In this case, it will be much more difficult.

The commander of the fifth battalion, Du Longfei, came from their place and was very familiar with the commander of the first battalion. The methods commonly used by them in fighting did not need to be analyzed by the fifth battalion.

Examples can be given at any time, but what troubles Shan Chao is that no one from the battalion party committee to the staff knows what method Chen Ming will use, and he will definitely not use the general direction.

But there are many kinds of delaying tactics, such as logistics, reconnaissance, attacking their command system, etc., which are all delaying tactics.

The main combat effectiveness of the combined battalion comes from the fire support and information sharing of friendly forces, especially the heavy equipment. It does not have the self-contained, air-space integrated offensive means of the medium-sized reinforced amphibious combined battalion.

The current [-]st Battalion and [-]th Battalion are like a tortoise and a cat. When the cat is unknown in size, the tortoise does not dare to move. If the cat knows more tricks, it will directly pick up the tortoise and throw it to the soldering iron. , fighting a short- to medium-range war of attrition, just sheer attrition can knock them down.

Although Shan Chao does not think that the fifth battalion currently has this kind of strength, he cannot help but guard against it.

"Haha."

Wang Junwei couldn't help but smile when he saw Shan Chao's troubled expression.

He waved to Chen Ming, who was still studying the tank in the distance. This boy and the battalion commander came over and were still looking at their equipment.

I'm afraid I don't know that he is here to conduct investigation in advance.

Hearing the shout, Chen Ming responded quickly and ran towards this side. Although he had never communicated with Shan Chao, he had seen him in the command room of the fifth battalion headquarters in the afternoon, so he was no longer a stranger.

"Hello, Battalion Commander Shan." Chen Ming came over and saluted with a smile.

"Hello, Comrade Chen Ming, I've heard of you a long time ago, but I didn't expect that you gave me a big gift just after you arrived, haha."

"The First Battalion is ready to fight at any time. Comrade Chen Ming, on behalf of all the soldiers in the battalion, I welcome the challenge of the Fifth Battalion."

Ha ha! !
This is the afternoon of war.

Chen Ming smiled calmly, "Don't worry, Commander Shan, we will go all out and we will never disgrace the reputation of the first battalion, since we dare to request a confrontation."

"Then we will naturally use 100% of our energy to deal with this battle."

"Okay, haha, brigade commander, since Staff Chen is here, would you like to visit the combat command room of our first battalion to see the past combat habits." "Today I saw their coordinated attack at the training ground of the fifth battalion. , very exciting, but the confrontation is about two forces working together to promote development, knowing yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in any battle."

Shan Chao made the invitation.

Wang Junwei didn't have any objections. He originally brought Chen Ming here to let him know more about the First Battalion.

Listening to what others say is just hearsay after all. When fighting a war, you can't just rely on other people's stories to judge the situation, you still have to understand it yourself.

Chen Ming would naturally not refuse an invitation.

On the way to the [-]st Battalion Headquarters, Wang Junwei looked at Shan Chao and warned: "Get ready for me here. Chen Ming is an officer of the new era. He has published many topics on synthetic tactics at the National University of Defense Technology. Attract the attention of the war zone and military headquarters.”

"His combat thinking is different from ours. He may have unexpected ways. What's more, he was born in Longya and is very good at analyzing the enemy's weaknesses."

"Not only do you have to show him around the first battalion, but you also have to explain your combat system in detail. You have to restrain that kid no matter what, do you understand?"

"Yes, Captain."

Shan Chao responded with a wry smile, wondering if the brigade commander was biased towards him.

Since Chen Ming is so good at analyzing the enemy's weaknesses, he also introduces his own command system in detail. Isn't this inconsistent?
Of course, complaints are complaints. As the commander of the First Battalion, Shan Chao firmly believed that his air defense system could be impeccable. Even if the Fifth Battalion had a helicopter squadron, it would be difficult for this kind of air combat force to cause a large area of ​​damage to them. destroy.

As long as they are combined battalions, they have weaknesses in air defense, but this does not mean that they have no way to solve them.

Especially in this one-on-one situation, if a concentrated fire cannot be formed, the threat to the heavy battalion is not great.

What's more, the key to determining victory or defeat does not only depend on the helicopter squadron, but also depends on the performance of the ground troops. He firmly believes that no matter how Chen Ming directs or what tactics he uses, the advantage will be on their side.

If you don't have this confidence, how can you lead a heavy armored battalion?

Shan Chao did what he said, and led Chen Ming to watch the first battalion's air defense system, logistics layout, and early warning radar system.

Fortunately, our own people were checking this. If the enemy learned of this information, all the defenses of the battalion would be like a display.

While watching, the commander of the first battalion followed behind, full of confidence and gearing up. Looking at the posture, it seemed that he wanted to fight with the fifth battalion right now.

Quite confident.

The stay in the First Battalion lasted until evening. Chen Mingcai left with the brigade commander and returned to the Fifth Battalion from the brigade headquarters.

This time I went over and said I saw the opponent's air defense layout and firepower deployment, but it was actually the same as not seeing it.

Apart from being able to more clearly understand the difficulty of this confrontation, it seems to have no other effect.

Returning to the Fifth Battalion, when Chen Ming passed by the training ground, he saw a group of people gathered in the distance, discussing something lively. From a distance, the discussion seemed to be quite enthusiastic.

Several soldiers were dancing and talking.

At this time, it is time for each company to finish training and return to the company.

Is there anything more important than making a living?Chen Ming parked the vehicle next to him and got out of the vehicle. Before he could get closer, a soldier spotted him first.

He jumped to his feet and shouted: "Quick, quick, quick, Staff Chen is back, comrades, what did you discuss just now? Hurry up."

"What are we discussing?" Before Chen Ming realized what was going on, a group of soldiers from the fifth battalion made a "crash" and surrounded him.

"Commander Chen, do you know that you have published it in the newspaper? War Zone Military Report."

"Although disasters are ruthless, there is great love in the world. The lonely brave man in the dark night is so handsome. This title occupies an entire page of the military newspaper. Staff Chen, why haven't I heard you mention the rescue thing before? "

"Do you still need to mention it? You didn't organize to watch the news during the rescue? Anyway, I saw Staff Officer Chen being interviewed at that time, and it was also on the news during the Chinese New Year."

"Really? Why didn't I know? Damn it, I just knew that in just two and a half years since you joined the army, Staff Chen, you have gone from third-class meritorious service to first-class meritorious service?"

As everyone shouted, Chen Ming saw that there were indeed a few soldiers holding newspapers in their hands, but they were almost clenched into a ball as they passed them around.

No wonder he didn't see it just now.

"Congratulations, haha." While everyone else was busy, Battalion Commander Du Longfei also walked over from a distance.

The army group was too big, with 6 to [-] people. No matter how famous Chen Ming was, there would always be some soldiers who had never heard of him. This was normal.

But this time, the correspondent from the headquarters directly sent the military report to their fifth battalion and also to the training ground.

Since the above wanted to promote him as a positive, they would naturally briefly introduce the deeds he had done before.

This shocked the veterans on the training ground.

They just know that Chen Ming is young, but most people don't know what this youth actually means.

Chen Ming's military history completely solved this mystery.

"Batalion Commander, please stop making noises, there's nothing to congratulate about." Chen Ming smiled bitterly, and the soldiers just followed the excitement.

Why did the battalion commander also start to get excited?

"Haha, you kid, oh, that's not right. Why are you not surprised at all when you hear the news? Did you know it in advance?"

Du Longfei looked Chen Ming up and down and found that he was not surprised at all by such a big thing as being posted on the war zone military report.

You know, theater military reports generally do not record personal information. They are all about implementing the spirit, innovating service concepts, optimizing various service guarantees, high-quality leadership ideas, etc.

It is not a propaganda newspaper for the military region. It publishes all day about who has won third class merit, who has won the title of outstanding soldier, and preparations for military region exercises. Although these are rare, they are far less valuable than the military newspapers in the war zone.

This is equivalent to the news network commending an individual outside, which is an honor that is difficult to encounter in a lifetime.

From the beginning to the end of the year, no one was able to board the war zone military report.

Looking at the confused eyes around him, Chen Ming nodded: "Yes, when I went to the brigade headquarters this time, Comrade Political Commissar already talked about the military report in the theater."

"No, I got all the newspapers back."

As Chen Ming spoke, he took out a folded newspaper from his pocket, which was exactly the one Xu Guoyang gave him.

There were soldiers nearby who wanted to grab them. After all, the headquarters arranged for people to deliver military newspapers. It was impossible to get them directly with a pile. This was a war zone issue, not a military zone issue, and the quantity was not that large.

As a result, before they could touch it, Du Longfei snatched the newspaper into his hands with a "squeeze" and slapped away all the claws extending around him.

"Go, go, what are you trying to rob? You guys just came from the headquarters to deliver newspapers. Which company is responsible for receiving them?"

"There are only a dozen sent in total. So far I don't even have one. What's there to grab?"

"I decided that this military newspaper will be placed in the honor column of the battalion headquarters. As the first honor of our fifth battalion, it also indicates that our fifth battalion can truly be successfully established and apply for our own designation."

"Comrades, do you have confidence?"

"Have!!!"

The hundreds of soldiers who gathered around shouted in unison. The training in the military camp was usually very boring, and it was rare to have such a lively moment.

Du Longfei would not force them to disband and do whatever they needed to do.

There is a degree of relaxation, and only with honor can we have cohesion.

As the battalion commander, he knew this very well.

While everyone else was still busy, Du Longfei carefully folded the newspapers and stuffed them into his pocket while grabbing the remaining newspapers.

He asked casually: "Old Chen, what did the brigade commander ask you to do this time?"

"Why did you go there for so long?"

"Well, let's talk about this later. I also went to the first battalion this afternoon and watched their layout. We may also need to make adjustments."

"I'll go back to the battalion headquarters to sort it out first, and we'll talk about it together tomorrow."

"Okay, then go ahead and do your work. I'll go find Lao Zhang and post the military report to the battalion headquarters."

Du Longfei chuckled and seemed to be in a good mood.
