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

Chapter 259 The Eighth Division was defeated and meritorious service was given at the front of the line

Brush brush.
The officers watching from the director's department collectively cast their gazes on the young officer circled by the infrared lamp. Their eyes flashed with wonder, confusion, and speechlessness.

In the drone footage, the person who ate the most delicious food picked up the mushroom lunch meat with a fork and popped it into his mouth.

"As expected of a bandit brigade." Behind the viewing seat, an officer from the Western Theater District shook his head and sighed with a wry smile.

Looking at the packaging of these self-heating pots eaten by Wuying, you can easily recognize that they are the type exclusively supplied by the Southern Xinjiang Military Region and the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region.

The altitude here is high, so some ingredients and packaging are different from those in the plains.

At first glance, he seems to be grabbing the Blues' food.

soon.

Chen Ming's information was also called up. The large projection screen was divided into two parts from the middle, and the real-time projection on the right continued.

The left part projects files and displays them through text.

Feng Hongyi looked at it calmly.

Chen Ming, male, from Luozi Camp, Weixian County, Pengcheng, Northern Jiangsu, signed up to join the army as a freshman at Pengcheng Jiuzhou College, and joined the 71st Army Artillery Brigade. He was awarded
"Currently serving as the chief staff officer of the 71th Brigade of the 169st Army."

After reading all the information silently, Feng Hongyi turned to look at a brigade commander of the 71st Army.

"Has this young comrade ever participated in staff training?"

"Reporting to the head, no, I studied at the National University of Defense Technology for a period of time, participated in the sword sharpening project, and was one of the first batch of students."

"Well, I have an impression." Feng Hongyi nodded. He did have an impression. After reading Chen Ming's information, he remembered that the Army Headquarters had a fax of his files before.

Although since the military reform in 16, except for the Southern Xinjiang and Xinjiang Provincial Military Regions, the position of chief of staff has been abolished in other provincial military regions, including the director of the political department, etc.

But the group army has not been cancelled. On the contrary, there is a lack of excellent staff talents in the army.

Because the group army is responsible for the main battle and is responsible for combat execution tasks. It is divided into various professional arms to cooperate with each other. Excellent staff can improve the combat capabilities of the entire army.

Provincial military regions and group armies are responsible for different directions. They are more inclined to the nature of national defense mobilization. They are mainly responsible for military and political coordination of provincial administrative regions, national defense mobilization, military recruitment, placement of veterans, border and coastal defense management, or the tasks of militia and reserve forces.

The purpose of abolishing the position of chief of staff is to make future wars more flexible and to save resources.

But the group army is different. There are too few excellent staff officers, and many even hold staff positions. Their analysis of terrain and battlefields is not as good as that of military chief officers.

With this business ability, the establishment of the staff department was in vain.

Obviously.

Feng Hongyi saw all the qualities a staff officer needs from Chen Ming's battle.

It is not easy for someone who is young and has not experienced professional staff training to have such a keen insight into the battlefield.

Feng Hongyi waved his hand and removed Chen Ming's file information, and turned his attention to other soldiers.

Only then did we discover that the eliminated soldiers of the fifth battalion, under the illumination of drones, clearly saw from the difference in military uniforms and armbands that they were not a unit.

"Which unit are those comrades from? It seems that these are not just people from the fifth battalion of the Red Army." Feng Hongyi asked with a smile.

"Reporting to the commander, among them are people from the Longya Commando of the Eastern Theater Command, as well as people from the 71st Army Special Operations Brigade and the Second Special Operations Battalion."

"According to the detailed battle reports reported by frontline observers, Chen Ming, the commander of the fifth battalion, arranged for soldiers from the second special operations battalion and some soldiers from the fifth battalion to form another fifth battalion."

"Go and intercept the Blue Army's transport truck on the way, making the Blue Army troops mistakenly think it is the Red Army's bandit brigade."

"Unintentionally, all the supplies and warehouses from the rear were mobilized, which gave the Red Army's fifth battalion an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"And the order from the front line requiring baggage transportation was also an order issued by the Fifth Battalion simulating the Eighth Tianshan Division."

"While cutting off the baggage, the disguised Fifth Battalion launched an attack at night, deliberately deflecting firepower and launching smoke bombs to block the Blue Army's judgment. In a critical situation, the Blue Army made a mistake in judgment."

"Hahaha, good, good, good, what a plan to secretly infiltrate Chen Cang, lure the tiger away from the mountain, attack in the east and attack in the west, and kill him with one blow."

Feng Hongyi clapped his hands and laughed.

He has been sitting in the director's department. He just heard that the Blue Army's No. [-] baggage warehouse was destroyed, but he never expected that the Red Army's bandit brigade was not only famous.

For this combat plan, so many units were gathered in a short period of time, and even the ace commando team in the eastern theater was mobilized.

After understanding the entire process of the battle, Feng Hongyi looked at Chen Ming and admired it as if he were looking at a piece of jade. It was a rare, indeed rare talent.

Not only does he have outstanding abilities as a staff officer, but he also possesses various interpersonal skills as a military officer.

There are more than a million generals in the army, and there are many people with outstanding abilities, but it is rare to have outstanding abilities in all aspects.

What's more, Chen Ming is so young.

If you are young, talented, have ideas, dare to fight, dare to work hard, dare to think and dare to do, just for this, you are worthy of vigorous training.

"Okay, switch the screen to the main battlefield and tell me that after the training is over, I will go to the [-]th Battalion of the Red Army to see how this unit, which performed so well on the battlefield, is doing."

"At the same time, we also have to look at this commander. How courageous he is to lead a battalion and just rush to the rear and destroy the Blue Army's baggage deployment."

"Yes, Chief."

A group of officers from the director's department responded loudly.

The scene switches. Although the impact of the fifth battalion is not small, the military training is the overall situation and cannot be delayed just because of one battlefield.

But anyone can see that Chen Ming may really be on the verge of success this time.

He was the Army Chief of Staff of the Military Department. Being praised by someone of this level, as long as Chen Ming didn't make big mistakes and played steadily, there would definitely be a place for him in the army.

What's more, the 71st Army will be regarded as the first pilot military region to strengthen brigade-level combat units to the division level. At this juncture, Chen Ming is targeted by the people above.

If you say you don’t envy me, no one will believe you.

Abilities and opportunities are the most rare at any time, and Chen Ming has all of these.

The Blue Army's baggage warehouse was bombed, and the Eighth Tianshan Division did not suffer too many restrictions for the time being. Their ammunition and oil storage could still last for one day.

But do they dare to hold on for a day and continue to fight with the Red Army until they run out of ammunition and food?

The answer is obviously, they don't dare.

If that happens, Nuo's large combat group will be wiped out in an instant, and the supplies airdropped by transport planes will not be able to sustain the consumption.

So the Eighth Division retreated.

On the frontline battlefield, the Eighth Tianshan Division and the Baiyun Mountain Regiment united their forces and retreated while fighting. The heavy armored regiment was in front and behind, intercepting the main force of the Red Army.

In the rear, the Eighth Division's Mobile Light Regiment retreated quickly. If this battlefield was not supported by the large Blue Army troops, if it persisted, it would be captured by the 71st Army.

He wanted to withdraw, but there was no way the Red Army troops in the rear could let him go.

71 Army Command.

Commander-in-Chief Feng Chunyang laughed so loudly that he could hardly close his mouth.

"It's fun, it's really fun. This is like fighting. Pass my orders, 71st Artillery Brigade, 71st Army Aviation Brigade, 2nd Synthetic Brigade, 35th Brigade, 160th Brigade, 169th Brigade, press forward for me."

"If you want to run away, leave the heavy fire to me first."

"Tell all the soldiers in the army to beat me hard. Damn it, I will completely defeat the Blue Army."

"You really think that our 71st Army is a sick cat, but we still suppress you and beat you."

"Yes, Chief."

A group of officers in the conference room responded excitedly, and the battlefield situation became increasingly clear.

This side has an advantage, and just now everyone in the theater called to praise them. Other battlefields are trying their best to suppress the Blue Army's combat troops to prevent them from sending firepower for reinforcements.

In tonight's battle, even if the Eighth Division is not annihilated, at least nine out of ten of its establishment will be destroyed. It will be difficult to see them on the frontal battlefield.

Wang Junwei, the commander of the 169th Brigade, was very proud of himself at this time. He was grinning with his teeth bared, and everyone was holding their heads high. With that attitude, he wanted to tell people that it was the fifth battalion of his 169th Brigade that took away the Blue Army baggage warehouse.

As a result, the Tianshan Eighth Division retreated again and again, and was completely defeated.

The front line was in pursuit, and the Red Army troops marched straight in, causing the Blue Army to jump up and down and retreat in panic.

The dull atmosphere in the conference room changed.

Feng Chunyang listened to the frequent reports of victory from the front line and said with a smile: "Yes, I really didn't expect that the Fifth Battalion could target the Blue Army's supply warehouse. How dare this boy Chen Ming dare."

"He is really courageous. With a battalion of troops, he dared to go deep into the heart of the Blue Army."

"The firepower of the baggage warehouse is at least equivalent to the firepower of a brigade and a half, several times the strength of the fifth battalion, and it was all eaten down by this kid."

"Yes, there was a call from the war zone just now, saying that the commander-in-chief of the director's department was going to visit the 169th Battalion of the [-]th Brigade after the military training."

"There should be no problem with the serialization application this time. The theater has already submitted the application for the serial number to the parliament."

"As long as we submit an application here, it will officially enter the negotiation stage."

"After the major military training is over, the formation of the fifth battalion will most likely be announced directly, and the battalion flags and titles will be awarded." "Old Wang, the fifth battalion did a good job this time."

"Thank you for the compliment, chief." Wang Junwei, commander of the 169th Brigade, stood up with a smile and responded.

This fifth battalion's raid really brought them a big surprise.

Xu Guoyang, the political commissar of the brigade, sat aside and smiled helplessly. He had just seen Chen Ming yesterday and talked about private matters.

What he was thinking at that time was that the Fifth Battalion should apply for a designation in the second half of the year, and it would be good if it could be officially mentioned on the theater meeting schedule.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ming was so capable of sneak attacks on the Blue Army's rear quarters, clearing out logistics, and killing the brigade headquarters. Although these results were significant, they did not cause too much of a sensation.

It will not affect decision-making at the theater level.

It was an indelible achievement to blow up the blue army's baggage warehouse, destroy one-third of the enemy's dispatch supplies, and affect the entire battle situation.

The superiors must give commendations for their actions. If they keep silent and do not reward meritorious deeds, it is not the style of the army.

Xu Guoyang quietly looked at the commander-in-chief and felt confident.

The army is also a large society with intricate relationships. Feng Chunyang has just been promoted from the position of chief of staff to commander-in-chief.

Now is the time to cultivate his own direct lineage. It has nothing to do with forming cliques. With his position, he can't recruit Chen Ming.

As the commander-in-chief, the important task of training a new generation of officers falls on his shoulders. Everyone has seen how Chen Ming has performed since he joined the army.

Transferred from Longya to the 169th Synthetic Brigade, it took less than two months to bring a new battalion that didn't understand synthetic warfare at all to this level.

The capabilities contained therein cannot be erased.

At this time, it was time for him to take a stand.

In this major military training, it is not just the fifth battalion that needs to perform. Feng Chunyang has just been promoted to the commander-in-chief and is fully responsible for such a large-scale operation for the first time. Everyone above is watching.

Including the following commanders and fighters are also watching.

Chen Ming led the Fifth Battalion to achieve such results, and it was impossible for him not to express his opinion.

Sure enough, Feng Chunyang pondered for a moment, waved his hand to signal everyone in the conference room to be quiet, and said with a smile: "Based on the contribution of the fifth battalion to the military training this time, the military region party committee decided to award the fifth battalion collective second-class merit. Comrade Chen Ming commanded this time Act bravely in battle."

"Decisive command, courage to fight, and hard work will be awarded to individuals with second-class merit."

"Of course, if it is currently awarded, since the fifth battalion has no establishment and no serial number, there is no way to record it."

"Remember this merit first, and then award it after everything has settled. However, personal second-class merit can be awarded now."

"Including the application number, and the application to promote Comrade Chen Ming to the deputy battalion level, I will also submit it to the theater as soon as possible."

"I believe there will be no obstacles this time."

"Comrades, what do you think?"

Feng Chunyang looked at all the officers present with a smile. The commander-in-chief had already spoken, so who could have any objections?

They all nodded in agreement.

Conferring merits on the line of fire is an affirmation of soldiers and a great boost to morale.

Everyone seemed to have no objections.

Feng Chunyang spoke again: "Well, Lao Wang, Lao Xu, you two will go tomorrow to award military honors to the fifth camp."

"I will explain the situation to the superiors. Our soldiers fought and fought hard all night, and they cannot fail to express their feelings."

"Let's set off at dawn."

"But, before that, I need to clear the Eighth Tianshan Division out of the combat area, put all the army's firepower on me, and resolve the battle before dawn."

"Go get ready."

"Yes."

Boom boom boom.
buzzing.
The scope of the war was getting wider and wider. When the war started in the early hours of the night, the Blue Army's No. [-] baggage warehouse was still dozens of kilometers away from the main battlefield.

In the middle of the night.

The flames of war have almost reached this side.

Rockets were fired one after another from high altitude, like dumplings under boiling water, and were fired towards the rear.

The Eighth Division of the Blue Army retreated while fighting, its heavy firepower was almost destroyed, and the ammunition loss was even more serious.

From Chen Ming's position, he could see with the naked eye that the troops in the distance were retreating and constantly shifting.

At this time, the fish belly white has appeared in the east, the sun comes out, and the pale golden light fills the earth.

"boom!!"

A rocket hit a tank directly. If the 99A main battle tank was hit by other shells on the side, it would be almost difficult to be judged to be eliminated.

But if the top is hit by this kind of long-range rocket launcher, no matter how powerful the main battle tank is, it will collapse.

The blue army is retreating, and the red army is chasing.

Just like this, the two sides were chasing each other all the way in front of them, chasing after each other.

The goal is already obvious, to completely eliminate the Eighth Division.

"My darling, you hit me hard. I'm going to eat the Eighth Tianshan Division in one go."

"Captain Chen, are you itching to watch?" Broiler smiled mischievously. A group of people eliminated from the fifth battalion were bombarded by nearby artillery fire and could not sleep at all.

This thing exploded at close range and the sound was louder than thunder, making it impossible to sleep.

The war situation reversed too quickly. Whether it was the Red Army or the Blue Army, the number of people eliminated increased sharply. The director had no time to arrange for the eliminated fighters.

We can only let them stay here, acting as spectators, watching the battle ahead.

Chen Ming stared at the battlefield in the distance with burning eyes and did not respond to Broiler's inquiry. He was a talkative guy.

It would be a lie to say that watching such a fierce battle does not make one's heart surge. Unfortunately, the fifth battalion has been eliminated and is not qualified to join the battlefield again.

I just watched them fight from a distance to the front, and then from the front to the rear. The shouts of killing were loud and the tanks were rumbling. The 71st Army was really serious this time.

Looking at the troop input, it is not difficult to guess that it is probably two or three times more than the Eighth Division in its heyday. How could there be any surprises in a battle of this scale?

The main battlefield moved again until it was out of sight. Chen Ming shook his head and turned to look at a group of soldiers with panda eyes gathered behind him.

He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay, don't look at it anymore. Each company commander will arrange for the soldiers to set up tents on the spot. There is no need to arrange to stand guard. Have a good rest."

"Looking at the situation tonight, if nothing goes wrong, the Blue Army's baggage warehouse will be classified as a new elimination concentration camp to accommodate the troops eliminated tonight."

"Let's just wait for the notification from the director's department."

"Go and rest."

Chen Ming was urging the arrangements. Battalion Commander Du Longfei hurried over and said in a hurry: "What about that, Old Chen, hurry up, the brigade commander and political commissar are here."

"You go to receive them first. I'll arrange for each company to line up. Don't worry, it's a good thing."

"The brigade commander and political commissar are here? So soon?" Chen Ming was slightly surprised, and he knew it was a good thing.

The Fifth Battalion made such a big noise last night, catching the entire Blue Army unit off guard, and the Eighth Tianshan Division was completely defeated. There will definitely be something from the higher ups.

But he didn't expect that the brigade commander came first before the director's staff arranged for them.

Chen Ming arranged his military uniform, stuffed his helmet into the chariot, put on his military cap, and quickly came to the road outside the woods.

They were hiding in this small patch of woods to avoid being accidentally injured by artillery shells. Even if they were practice ammunition, those pieces were real. If they fell from a high altitude and hit their heads, the power would be no less than a blank shot at close range. .

This is why every time they attack, the Blue Army hides under the tank.

Chen Ming dressed neatly and trotted all the way outside. From a distance, he saw Wang Junwei, commander of the 169th Brigade, and Xu Guoyang, political commissar, standing in the distance with a brigade-direct security company.

Judging from the situation, they should be following the rear of the Red Army. The brigade commander came over after the main battlefield passed from here.

"Hello, brigade commander, hello political commissar." Chen Ming quickly ran up to him, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Okay, good boy, you are really good at twisting things." Wang Junwei returned the greeting with a smile.

He glanced at Chen Ming with admiration.

"The news came back to the headquarters last night, which really shocked me. Tell me, how did you come up with the idea of ​​attacking the Blue Army's supply warehouse?"

"Do you know that with regard to the firepower deployment here, even if our entire 169th Brigade comes, it will be for nothing."

"What's more, with a brigade-level combat unit so deep into the hinterland, it's impossible for the Blue Army not to notice it."

"Who exactly gave you the guts?"
