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

Chapter 251: The codename is "Bandit Brigade"

At dawn, the soldiers of the fifth battalion, who had been working hard all night, started their tanks and ran wildly, away from the Blue Army area and successfully entering the Red Army's station.

It went straight deep until it reached the hinterland of the Red Army and merged with the Second Special Operations Battalion before stopping the advance.

Have no idea.

During the night, the Eighth Tianshan Division of the Blue Army and the Mountain Assault Brigade code-named Baiyun Mountain Regiment were destroyed.

Just think about it and you can guess that during the day, the Blue Army's combat area will inevitably conduct a carpet survey, vowing to uncover all hidden enemy forces in the hinterland.

If you don't run now, when will you wait?
Chen Ming got off the command vehicle and breathed a sigh of relief. Commanding the operation seemed simple, but he did it step by step without making any mistakes.

After coming down, he saw the soldiers and cadres of each company emerging from the tanks. Chen Ming waved his hand and arranged: "Each company quickly consolidated the battle damage last night and will report back later."

"The engineering detachment and cooking squad will set up tents here and set up stoves to light fires for cooking. They will rest for the remaining few days and get to know the combat situation before going to fight."

"It shouldn't be easy for the blue army to penetrate into the hinterland when the war starts. Put one company on duty, and the other companies should sleep and recuperate."

"Yes, Staff Officer Chen."

A group of soldiers laughed and started moving things from the tank. In fact, they didn't need to light a fire at all. The mountain assault brigade cooking class had prepared breakfast for the front line early, and they almost coordinated it.

Steamed buns, steamed buns, noodles, milk, and even pots and basins were brought back, for fear that they would starve without supplies.

In an instant, among the tanks of the fifth battalion, oil drums were piled all over the floor. Many tanks lacked space, and the soldiers sat on them with their arms in their arms.

Vegetable baskets, steamers, military pots, dry firewood, and seasoning packets were piled all over the floor.

Qin Dong, commander of the Second Special Operations Battalion, came over to say hello. When he saw the situation in the Fifth Battalion, his eyes almost fell out of his eyes in shock.

"I'm going, Staff Chen, are you going to fight?"

“This battlefield was cleaned up really thoroughly.”

The corner of Qin Dong's mouth twitched. Their special operations battalion had been wiped out by the regular combat troops, who were called gophers.

But he still felt that it was incomparable to the fifth battalion. This was too thorough. He even saw a few soldiers taking out cooking shovels from their arms and handing them over, as well as cutting knives and soup spoons.

Those who knew it were counting the loot, but those who didn’t knew it thought it was a grocery market.

Damn it, if you ask the Blues to count them, why don’t you scold them to death.

Qin Dong originally wanted to divide the several carts of supplies he had brought back evenly, but now looking at the situation of the Fifth Battalion, he couldn't bring himself to say the word "equally divide".

Forget it, give it all to them.

Chen Ming's eyes flickered and his old face turned slightly red. He just gave instructions to collect fuel, ammunition, and dry food. He didn't expect to collect them so thoroughly.

But after all he had done, he wouldn't say anything. He put on a serious look and shook his head.

"Battal Commander Qin, you don't understand the hardships we face because we don't have an organization. There is no order of battle and the director's department doesn't count us. We can't make up for the losses at all."

"After a single battle, the entire battalion's supplies were depleted. Without the logistical support from above, we had to figure out our own solutions."

"I understand, I understand." Qin Dong pointed to the eight large trucks behind him, "What, to fulfill our mission, I have brought you the supplies of the Eighth Tianshan Division."

"There is not much oil. All their tank trucks are on the front line. They only have bulk barrels, about two trucks, five trucks of ammunition, and one truck of dry food. The remaining heavy weapons and ammunition cannot be transported. I was blown up."

"No problem, these are enough." Chen Ming grinned. He had already seen the eight trucks. Before Qin Dong could continue, he directly called Ma Hongjie, the commander of the armored infantry company closest to him.

"Captain Ma."

"arrive."

"Go, bring a few comrades who can drive over here, take stock of the supplies sent by Battalion Commander Qin, and disperse them."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Ma Hongjie bared his front teeth, happily greeted people and drove off. He was still holding the steamed meat buns made by the Blue Army, and his mouth was full of oil.

"Haha, the steamed buns made by the Blue Army are so delicious. Give some to the brothers of the Second Special War Battalion. Don't finish them all. Thank you, Battalion Commander Qin."

A group of people laughed and greeted each other, and drove away several large trucks without any courtesy, without leaving any space for the Second Battalion.

Qin Dong didn't care. They could replenish supplies at any time. Seeing that everyone here was already busy, he smiled and invited Chen Ming to walk away.

"Commander Chen, I have heard of you before. You are also from the Artillery Brigade, and so am I. We are all soldiers led by the Tang Brigade."

"I have some suggestions regarding this major military training operation, so I won't make any detours."

"You said it." Chen Ming nodded. He could guess that Qin Dong's idea was to temporarily establish a strategic partnership with the Fifth Battalion.

The special operations battalion plays little role on the battlefield. Generally, it will be arranged to form a reconnaissance battalion later, which will go deep into the hinterland of the Blue Army and provide coordinates for the rear.

But there are almost no important tasks in the early stage.

Sure enough, Qin Dong pondered for a while and then said: "Last night we cooperated to destroy the Eighth Division's station. The instruction given to the Second Battalion was to cause destruction in the rear as much as possible."

"Your fifth battalion doesn't have a clear combat mission, so why not come with us? I'll be responsible for getting you coordinates and scouting out the Blue Army's weak defensive areas."

"Then you use the firepower from the outside, and I carry out surprise attacks from the inside, attacking from inside and outside, using the maximum combat firepower to cause trouble for the Blue Army."

"what do you think?"

"Also, the Second Battalion will be stationed here for the time being. We will arrange some soldiers to go out to investigate the situation at night. When it is suitable for us to fight, we will go out together."

"Yeah." Chen Ming smiled and turned to look in the direction of the Second Battalion. They had really started to set up tents there.

Qin Dong's suggestion reminded him of a line from a TV series, "I'll fix Ak and get you some Laifu, make it bigger and stronger, and create greater glory."

Of course, the lines were funny, and Qin Dong's proposal really moved Chen Ming.

What the Fifth Battalion currently lacks most is intelligence. They do not have a clear combat goal. They do not need to follow orders to fight and can mobilize troops to attack at any time.The problem is that you have to plan carefully who to fight. Last night was a pure accident. You can still judge when the battle starts, but if you continue to fight later, the defense map will be useless.

The second battalion was doing reconnaissance and was responsible for finding targets, and the fifth battalion went over to fight. This was a matter of course.

Chen Ming just thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. The two commanders looked at each other and smiled, and basically finalized the cooperation policy.

After the fifth battalion finished their work, they patted their butts and ran away.

The impact was far more than that. The Tianshan Eighth Division's rear garrison was bombed, the logistics warehouse was emptied, and the heavy firepower ammunition storage warehouse was bombed to the point where not even a hair was left.

The mountain assault brigade assisting the attack was more direct. The cooking stoves in the logistics area were stripped away, and the pots of boiled eggs were taken away, not to mention the storage of oil and gunpowder.

This situation directly caused the Blue Army combat troops, who were showing off their ferocity on the frontal battlefield, to stop heavy fire suppression.

Step by step, Chen Ming began to retreat, but Chen Ming's mistakes and accidents caused the first division and one brigade to lose the confidence to continue to use heavy firepower.

However, the morale of the 71st Army soared, and they gave full play to the enemy's retreat while we advance strategy. The six combined brigades pressed forward with all their strength and opened up their firepower.

Just two hours after dawn, the notorious Eighth Division was beaten back hundreds of miles, and its heavy firepower was knocked out by almost half.

The establishment of more than 1 people was lost by almost one-third in just one night.

This is already a remarkable achievement. You must know that the division-level combat firepower is at the front. No matter how intense the intensity is, it will not be a problem for two or three days.

Now it is being beaten like this. It's not that the logistics force of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region can't keep up, it's that there are too many places to start the war. When the two war zones are at war, no matter how sufficient logistics supplies are, they can't supply all the battlefields overnight.

And it was precisely during this night that someone took advantage of it.

"Haha, it's so enjoyable, so enjoyable."

At the 71st Army Headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Feng Chunyang laughed out loud. He was promoted to Army Commander No. [-] only last year.

It turned out that Luo Wentong, the leader who personally awarded Chen Ming the title during the recruitment competition, had been transferred to the war zone. Feng Chunyang was still the chief of staff of the army at that time.

Now promoted.

In the command room, a group of officers were grinning widely. They had been beaten and tortured all night long, and were beaten on the head by the Blue Army.

The oppressive feeling of division-level firepower on the frontal battlefield is far beyond that of ordinary combat troops. Coordinating heavy firepower is like free of charge, and they launch a fierce attack on the Red Army positions ahead.

The combined brigade was unfamiliar with the terrain, and the blue army's firepower layout was unknown. They were timid when fighting, but with the same number of firepower, they were almost unable to fight back.

He was almost knocked out of the boundary line, but was blasted open by the Blues.

Unexpectedly, when they were about to be unable to hold it any longer, things took a turn for the worse, and the Blue Army's heavy firepower actually retreated on its own initiative.

It was their turn to drive straight in, suppress the Blue Army's artillery fire, forcefully break into the Blue Army's combat zone, and force them back hundreds of miles.

The Eighth Tianshan Division, one of the four main divisions of the Xinjiang Military Region, was defeated just like that. There was no reason to feel unhappy.

Feng Chunyang was happy for a long time before he remembered to investigate the reason for the Eighth Division's retreat.

He glanced at No. [-] of the brigade-level combat unit in the conference room and said with bright eyes: "I just received an inquiry from the director's department, saying that our Red Army has arranged an organic-sized combined force to sneak into the rear of the Blue Army."

"The combat force included three battalions of firepower, which destroyed the logistics station of the Eighth Tianshan Division with strong firepower, and even searched and captured the Baiyun Mountain Regiment."

"I want to know, who on our side has arranged for people to fight in the rear?"

"Three battalion-level firepower?" Wang Junwei, commander of the 169th Brigade, was ready to stand up and tell the direction of the fifth battalion's maneuver yesterday.

But after hearing what the commander-in-chief said, he gave up the idea of ​​getting up.

The fifth battalion is just a medium-sized battalion, and it is still an unorganized type. No matter how hard it is, can he use the firepower of three battalions?

Not reliable.

There is probably another hidden secret.

Cui Bai, commander of the 71st Special Operations Brigade, hesitated for a moment and did not rush to speak. He just arranged for the Second Special Operations Battalion to wait for opportunities to cause trouble.

To say that it was effective, it must be somewhat effective, but to say that the firepower of three battalions was used to destroy both the Eighth Tianshan Division and the Baiyun Mountain Regiment, he really didn't believe it.

Little did they know that the judgment of the director's department came entirely from the chief referee of the Blue Army Mountain Assault Brigade named Lao Sun, who did not see clearly what was going on at the time.

However, according to the three battalions of the Mountain Assault Brigade, the Eighth Division's two tank companies, one light battalion, one company left by the air defense battalion in the station, and one company left by the artillery battalion, they were destroyed almost at the same time.

Only then did we come to the conclusion that there were three firepower camps.

Just when the 71st Army headquarters fell into silence, the door was pushed open, and Changjiang Zhenjun, Army Staff Officer of the Eastern Theater Command, strode in.

Everyone in the conference room stood up in shock.

"Hello, Chief of Staff."

"Well, hello, comrades, sit down." Jiang Zhenjun waved his hand.

He asked with a smile on his face: "Have you not found the unit that fought last night?"

"The Blue Army Command has already complained to the Director's Department, saying that we have sent out a bandit brigade to fight, and we have also taken away people's breakfast pots and steamers."

"The cutting knives and the marching pots have been carried away. As a result, the Blue Army troops still have no food to eat, and they have to transfer dry food from the rear troops."

"Come on, let me see who the commander of the bandit brigade is?"

"Bandit brigade?!!!"

A group of officers in the command room were completely numb.
