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

Chapter 336: Taking up a new department, don’t you know how to do it?
Strategic Assault Division Firepower Department, this department is a place that attracts hatred.

From what the political commissar meant, many plans for combat operations were made by the division headquarters, and he was the one who executed them.

The focus of combat command is still at the brigade headquarters, but he is the one doing the dirty work.

This taste, no matter how you think about it, is wrong.

Xu Guoyang looked at Chen Ming standing there silently and knew what the boy was thinking. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't think about it there."

"The Firepower Department is also a new unit. You have to adapt as soon as possible. Currently, military supplies and logistics are separated from there, and there will be a dedicated person in charge."

"Just be responsible for your work. Draw a map first and become familiar with all the landforms, rivers, grasslands, and hills of the Niutoushan Garrison Base."

"Young man, don't let me down at this critical moment. Oh, by the way, the two border defense comrades you transferred from the Western Theater Command are busy with the engineering troops now."

"The two of them will also give you the firepower department. It's not easy for the comrades who come back from the border defense. Please take good care of them."

"Before you didn't come back, they had been following the engineering department. Now that they are back, take them with you and train a few more backbones in the fire department. You will be able to relax in the future."

"Go."

"Yes, commissar."

Chen Ming saluted and held his transfer order, his face full of worry.

Drawing pictures is nothing. As an artilleryman, this is a basic skill, but as soon as I came back from the academy, I was assigned a job in the fire department.

It's really not good.

What is the Blue Army?

The Blue Army is the imaginary enemy of the Red Army. It can simulate the enemy of any country. It can freely choose the battlefield and choose the method of attack.

Give the Red Army maximum training.

But what exactly is training?There is nothing controversial about this. It should be difficult and strict, and proceed from the worst-case scenario in actual combat.

The firepower department is responsible for the assigned tasks. If the heavy armor brigade comes, he can arrange the opponent to the most rugged terrain and destroy all the ground extending from the main battlefield.

Let the Red Army troops be unable to move even an inch, with their tanks lying in a nest and their tanks leaking oil.

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like a serious errand.

In addition, the Blue Army troops often fight, and they are definitely more diligent in equipment replacement and maintenance than ordinary troops. The Firepower Department even takes care of this, so I am afraid there will be no leisure time in the future.

Chen Ming was thinking alone as he came down from the command building and left the division headquarters.

Just came to the door.

The three people who were chatting and smoking not far away saw Chen Ming coming out and quickly stood up to greet him.

Seeing that he was holding the appointment document in his hand, Du Longfei pulled it over and took a look.

"Hey!! I just said it was transferred to the fire department, right?"

"It's really here, but I haven't had much contact with this department before. What does it do specifically?"

"Tricking people!!" Chen Ming responded angrily.

"Tricking people?!!"

Du Longfei and the two instructors looked at each other, almost unable to react.

Is there any department dedicated to doing this kind of thing?
Seeing their confusion, Chen Ming explained: "I just heard what Political Commissar Xu said, the firepower department is strategy formulation and planning."

"The entire Niutoushan garrison base, as long as it involves firepower, is arranged by this department, including the location of the combat garrison."

"Let's put it this way, if the higher authorities arrange for troops to come over for combat exercises, I will have all the information on the location of the Red Army."

"If the Tiger Wolf Battalion wants to launch a surprise attack and achieve results in the shortest time, I can provide you with all the routes, specific coordinates, and even specific combat methods."

"When the war situation is unclear and the Red Army has no preparations, you can lead the troops to launch a surprise attack."

"Ah?!" Du Longfei was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth when he heard this introduction.

"No way?"

"If this is really possible, it would be unfair to the Red Army."

"We have many combat troops here. If we can still cheat, I really don't know how the Red Army can win."

"It is said that we don't need a script to fight here. As long as we start a war, it all depends on our strength."

"We've been doing this for a long time, and we haven't relied solely on our strength. We've been opportunistic just to torture people?"

"There is no fairness in war." Chen Ming shrugged, not surprised.

Where is the fairness?
On the battlefield, even Zhu Rihe acted very shamelessly. He ambush artillery and scouts where the Red Army was to be stationed a week in advance.

At the beginning of the war, I didn't even understand what was going on. The Red Army's fresh water tanker and baggage warehouse were bombed.

Even the large iron pot used by the cooking class jumped to the sky.

All Blue Army commanders wore sergeant uniforms and would use any means to defeat the Red Army. During the transportation of the baggage, there was Voldemort lying on the road waiting for him with a personal rocket launcher on his shoulder.

Just come here and everything will be over.

As the enemy, the Blue Army can do anything to the Red Army troops, because the enemy does not know the rules and only has methods that the Red Army cannot think of. There is nothing that the Blue Army cannot do.

Everyone knows that the Blue Army has a lot of people to fight, and the hosts are familiar with the environment and have good weapons and equipment.

But how many people know that the Blue Army shamelessly taped the tanks and the sensors on their own bodies with tape, making it impossible for the Red Army to kill them no matter how hard they hit them.

But the Blue Army is as brave as the God of War descending to earth. Good guy, it's not terrible for one person to cheat, but what if the entire combat force cheats?
Just think about it and you will know how desperate the Red Army is, and how desperate it is.

But that's what the drill is for.

Only by fully understanding the harshness and unfairness of the battlefield in peacetime combat can we not be frightened when war actually comes.

Obviously, the Firepower Department is, to put it bluntly, the department that helps the entire Blue Army cheat. If he doesn’t attract hatred, who can?

Chen Ming was helpless.

"That's right. There is no such thing as fairness in war. In the past, only real wars were fought during annual military exercises."

"The major military training basically follows the script. Looking at it now, it seems that the function is more like training, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with fighting."

Du Longfei said with deep feeling.

The two chatted for a long time, and then they remembered that there were two instructors who came from the academy.

He handed Chen Ming the transfer document in his hand.

"Your report is over. Where is the fire department?"

"I'll take you there."

"Not far." Chen Ming pointed to a building a mile away to the left of the division headquarters building.

The Firepower Department is a unit directly under the 704th Division, and the assigned location is not far away. It is very convenient to run back and forth between the two places.

"That's really not far. Let's go there together."

Du Longfei looked at the buildings in the distance. He had only been in the new station for a few days and was unfamiliar with many places.

The four people rode in a vehicle in the direction pointed by political commissar Xu Guoyang.

And this time.

The people working in the fire department have received instructions from the division headquarters.

They all ran out to greet him, ready to see who the new leader was. Many people in the fire department were familiar with Chen Ming. They were a group of people who used to form the 169th Brigade Staff Headquarters.

Now divided into new units, it is mainly divided into three departments. One is the operations department, which is responsible for coordinating military operations and joint training data at the new Niutoushan garrison base, including combat planning, dispatching and command, intelligence analysis, organizing combat capability assessment, research and formulation of military Strategy, military needs, combat readiness construction, etc.

Another department is the Ministry of Information.

Responsible for deepening and strengthening the army's informatization construction, communications management, assessment and training of related information services, as well as electronic countermeasures, network attack and defense, surveying, mapping and navigation, etc.

The last one is the Security Department, which has the largest number of people, but its tasks are not heavy.

Mainly responsible for communications, as well as standing guard and patrolling the entire fire department.

Originally, the war zone had a larger planning organization for the firepower department, including logistics, publicity, scientific research, communications, etc.

Almost all the tasks of the Strategic Assault Division, except for the main work of the Director's Department, were given to the Firepower Department, but later it was probably considered that this arrangement of personnel would be problematic.

Although the Strategic Assault Division headquarters is not very involved in the management of subordinate units, and the real command is still at the brigade headquarters, there should be no shortage of departments at the division headquarters.

If all were included in one unit, the workload would be too much.

Only then did all the original arrangements be split up, and tasks such as the fire department were simplified, and Chen Ming was left to take care of them all.

Currently, there are about 60 staff members in the entire fire department, plus a platoon from the security department, the total number of people is less than a hundred.

Equivalent to the manpower of a company.

There are not many people, but as long as there is a combat mission, the firepower department has considerable power.

Du Longfei drove his car and took Chen Ming and two instructors straight to the door of the firepower department building.

The defense here is not as strict as the division headquarters.

Chen Ming got out of the car with his luggage.

In front of the office building, a group of lieutenants in military uniforms quickly ran to the door, looked at Chen Ming up and down, and then looked at the brown paper bag in his hand. Officers who often hang out in this kind of department quickly understood what was going on.

He quickly stepped forward and saluted.

"Hello, Major Chen."

Quite a few people here have met Chen Ming and know him, but they have never spoken to him at the brigade headquarters before.

"Hello, my name is Chen Ming. I have been transferred here to lead the fire department. This is my transfer order." With that said, Chen Ming handed the document in his hand to the captain standing at the front.

"Take me to the office first, and then a comrade will come over and introduce me to the work here."

"Other comrades should keep busy and don't need to be around here."

"We are arranging for two comrades to arrange dormitories for the instructors behind us."

"Yes."

When Chen Ming returned to his department, he was not so easy-going. The new department was not a direct operations department, so there was no need to establish authority.

But at least you can't act too casually.

As for Du Longfei, don't worry about him. This guy is an old man from the 169th Brigade, and basically many people know him.

Chen Ming dismissed the people who came to greet him, leaving only one captain. According to the other party's introduction, his name was Deng Haiyang, one of the personnel in charge of coordinating combat data in the Firepower Operations Department.

Watching Chen Ming arrive at the new department, he didn't look unfamiliar at all. He first arranged for someone to find a dormitory for the instructor, and then he followed the staff here to the office to understand the situation.

He is also relieved.

The Firepower Department is a special department. It is considered an agency department, but it is closely connected with the combat troops at the front.

If the commander suddenly falls into a place like this, many people may not be able to adapt.

It seemed that Chen Ming had no such worries. Entering the fire station was like entering his own home.

Du Longfei shook his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh, this powerful person is different.

Even though he is a battalion commander, he has been in the army for a long time, so there is no problem in leading a combined battalion.

But if he were to be transferred to Chen Ming's position to lead the fire department, it would be a bit difficult to start.

After all, different departments have different systems, and their daily work is definitely different.

Seeing Chen Ming enter the building, he was not in a hurry. He just walked around the firepower department compound, looking left and right.

Anyway, there are currently not many people coming to the Niutoushan garrison base, and many tasks are not being carried out normally. There is a deputy battalion commander in the battalion, and a newly transferred instructor is watching.

He was not in a hurry to go back.

I planned to have a good chat with Chen Ming after he handed over the work.

the other side.

Under the leadership of Deng Haiyang, Chen Ming went straight into the Firepower Department office building.

He is not as calm as Du Longfei imagined. He has been in the field army since he joined the army, whether at the grassroots level or in the staff department.

At least it has something to do with combat.

But this time after returning from the National Defense Academy, his superiors suddenly assigned him to the firepower department.

Most of the departments in this department are civilians. If it weren't for the establishment of the Strategic Assault Division, it would be impossible for a department like this to be led by just a random person.

Even if Chen Ming thinks his abilities are good, he still feels that his work is full of challenges when he arrives in the new department.

But okay.

He was never afraid of a challenge.

The transfer letter has already taken effect and the people have arrived. What else can be done?
"Major Chen, this way."

Deng Haiyang helped carry the luggage and pushed open the door of an office on the first floor.

The buildings here are all newly built, and you can smell the smell of paint when you open the door.

"Major Chen, let me introduce you to my job first."

"Our firepower department is different from the combat force, and the structure and daily work are also very different."

"The main daily routine is"

Chen Ming walked into the office and looked at the layout inside, listening to Deng Haiyang's detailed introduction beside him.

After all, he was someone who came from the former staff department and had a clearer understanding of the positioning of the firepower department, at least better than what the political commissar had introduced.

Chen Ming slowly understood.

Similar to what Xu Guoyang said just now, the top of the Firepower Department corresponds to the Theater Equipment Department, and the bottom corresponds to the various combat departments of the Strategic Assault Division.

As long as the new garrison base in Niutoushan is related to weapons or firepower arrangements, all combat units must report here for unified summary.

Including the above arranging combat tasks, the Red Army troops were transferred to conduct military exercises, and the firepower department also had to formulate and revise combat plans.

Despite the small size of this department.

But it is the core of the entire strategic assault division and the department closest to the war.

The nature is somewhat similar to the Joint Operations Staff.

During large-scale military exercises or operations, they are responsible for skillfully using various information systems to collect, analyze and process information.

Use the simulation system to deduce combat plans in advance and preview battle tactics.

when necessary.

The fire department can also take away the command of any blue army unit in a short period of time during the red-blue confrontation.

Of course, there are specific conditions for this. The several combat battalions directly under the Strategic Assault Division can be arranged arbitrarily according to needs.

The most cowardly thing is.

The fire department can also assume the identity of a third party in the director's department, go to the battlefield to collect combat data, and blatantly look at the arrangements of the Red Army.

As the name suggests, this is to verify the plan formulated by the Firepower Department and the firepower reports received by the various weapons distributed.

All the privileges combined made Chen Ming's scalp numb and he secretly clicked his tongue.

The power of the fire department is indeed not small.

Of course, having this right also means great pressure.

This department cannot be manipulated casually.

Chen Ming knew very well that even if it was a red-blue confrontation, as the exclusive Blue Army, no war would be conducted in accordance with the combat plan, but there was also no war that would not be conducted in accordance with the combat plan.

Every exercise is a rehearsal for actual combat.

And their unit is standing on the track preparing for war, running with all its strength towards the goal of winning the war at any time.

Even if there is cheating involved, various methods are emerging and used on the Red Army.

That's also to sharpen them.

After figuring out the main responsibilities of the Firepower Department, Chen Ming waved his hand.

"Go and contact the engineering team. I heard that we have two people here helping the engineering team."

"One is the second-term sergeant Xiong Jiuchang, and the other is the first-term sergeant Shen Zufei. Both of them were transferred from the border defense force of the Western Theater Command."

"Go and call them back."

"Also, inform the comrades over at the Ministry of Information to arrange for a few professional consultants in mapping and surveying."

"Starting from tomorrow, all the terrain around our new station, including hills, grasslands, and the specific locations of each troop station, must be described for me."

"It needs to be as detailed as possible. Also, arrange the operations department to collect the weapons configuration and number of combat units of the entire strategic assault division in a unified manner."

"Let the comrades from the two departments work hard these days and collect all the data as soon as possible."

"Be prepared for our later work."

"The heads of the theaters above have always been staring at our strategic assault division. Once all the combat troops here are in place, they will verify the results of the past two years."

"The big exercise between the red and blue sides will come soon. Without the support of these data, our firepower department will not be able to carry out the work at all."

"Go make arrangements."

"Yes."

Deng Haiyang responded hurriedly.

Just now, he was a little worried about whether the major transferred here was qualified for the firepower department.

It's not that he doubted Chen Ming's ability, it was mainly because the combat troops suddenly jumped into this kind of unit, and the span in between was too big.

There is no way to adapt in a short time.

But now it seems that the other party is quite adaptable.

Then he had nothing to worry about.

After Deng Haiyang left, Chen Ming looked at the various information warfare theories, joint warfare expertise and other books on the office bookshelves.

He took out a book and flipped through it.

Most of the documents recorded in it are combat reports, strategic analysis, tactical applications, basic support, etc.

Some of them have been turned over and have rotten corners.

It seems that they were moved here directly from the 169th Synthetic Brigade Staff Headquarters.

He has no use for this thing.

In this mission of the Firepower Department, apart from tricking people, there is nothing to learn.

This can't be done without hands.
