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

Chapter 344 Bayonets soaring into the sky, welcome to Niutoushan Base
Fires War Room.

Chen Ming led the two of them in. Du Longfei and Zhang Jintao were stunned by the indoor sand table on the spot.

Good guy, the scale of the war room layout is several times larger than the previous Tiger Wolf Battalion Staff Headquarters.

Not to mention the military flag deduction system, the huge sand table in the middle, which is 16 meters long and 12 meters wide, left them speechless.

The war room occupies the entire right side of the first floor of the agency building and is magnificent.

Standing next to the combat sand table, he looked much smaller.

"Hey, Old Chen, this is a big deal!!!" Du Longfei exclaimed in surprise.

On the sand table, the Niutoushan Garrison Base can be seen at a glance, just like a bird's-eye view. The ravines, mountains, lakes, roads, paths, and even the stones at the gates of some camps and the traces of human trampling on the slopes are all reduced in scale. Reappear before your eyes.

Not to mention the current information age, even in the 90s and [-]s, the exquisite products left for viewing by those who like to make sand tables by hand were not so lifelike.

This is simply a weapon for arranging troops.

The only flaw is that three-tenths of the area has not been completed, but what has been presented is amazing enough.

Du Long flew to the base relatively early. As a soldier, he is very sensitive to the terrain, so he can naturally see the exquisiteness of this sand table.

He couldn't wait to speak: "Old Chen, what about that? Let me know when the complete sand table map is ready. I'll find someone to make a copy of it, or you can ask a comrade to take a photo of it for me and make dozens of copies. With this thing, we can fight in the future." It works so well.”

Zhang Jintao, who had been standing silently by the side, also felt a burst of emotion in his heart, it's not easy.

No wonder the people in the fire department carry all kinds of instruments and run around the entire base all day long, measuring and mapping everywhere. It turns out they are doing this.

Facing the shock of the two people, Chen Ming felt a little proud. He was really not excited about the promotion. He was already in the fire department before being promoted to lieutenant colonel. He was still there after the promotion, and there was no change.

But the sand table is his masterpiece. The first task arranged by the fire department, it is quite good to be able to restore it to this level.

He didn't respond to Battalion Commander Du's surprise. He picked up a shrinking pole and clamped a small blue flag next to it. The flag had a bottom and sat on it, so there was no need to insert it into the sand table. He placed the flag on a flat grassy area.

Holding the shrinking rod, he slightly circled a small area and said, "Here, this is the live-fire drill area of ​​Tiger Wolf Camp. Battalion Commander, you can take your comrades there in advance to familiarize themselves with it."

"The Tiger Wolf Battalion is large and has many people, so your strategic direction should focus on stabilizing the battle situation with heavy fire."

"The organization of other battalions tends to be fast in maneuverability, fast in support, and not very powerful in firepower. Most of them focus on assault."

"Just use this place, it's convenient for you guys to use it."

Chen Ming didn't just mess around with the flag and throw it away. When he was surveying and mapping, he would observe where the Tiger Wolf Camp would be suitable for fighting if he had nothing to do.

After all, he had led that unit before, so he would naturally think more about it.

In the entire Strategic Assault Division, except for the Tiger Wolf Battalion of the First Regiment and Three Battalions, the remaining First Battalion, Second Battalion, and the Second Regiment and Third Regiment's combined battalions were left.

Almost all the preparations are like copying and pasting, exactly the same.

The unified force is composed of three infantry companies, one artillery company, two tank companies, and one logistics support company.

The establishment is simple, and the combat firepower is relatively concentrated. Of course, if people dare to do this, first of all, such a battalion is easy to lead and easy to command.

The second is the confidence brought by logistics. Relying on the confidence of the combined regiment and the size of the combined division, the firepower of the logistics support and support force is no joke.

There is a separate drone battalion, electronic warfare brigade, artillery regiment, air defense regiment, and a real logistics regiment of nearly 3000 people. This guarantee is awesome.

As the smallest combat unit, the division's support and logistics capabilities are several times stronger than those of the previous 169 brigade.

Once the war starts, if the Red Army comes over with a brigade, it will really bully them without "cheating". The strong firepower and reinforcements can cast a shadow on their hearts.

Seeing Chen Ming specifying the location, Du Longfei nodded and said, "Okay, then this is it."

"The New Year's Day military parade is less than a week away. Live-fire exercises must be carried out as soon as possible. Not to mention the distance, I heard that several combined brigades from our 71st Army have requested to visit our Niutoushan garrison base after New Year's Day."

"This is a euphemism. In the past, many comrades-in-arms said they would come to our place for exercises, level Niutoushan, and level all the mouse holes with cement."

"The earthworms also need to be pulled out and cut vertically. These bastards have too poisonous mouths."

"Let them come. If the soldiers are not trained, they will not be good. If the troops are not fighting, they will not be effective. Wait for them." Chen Ming smiled slightly, showing that he didn't care.

In fact, he had heard similar statements many times.

As the saying goes, the 169th Brigade was expanded with such great fanfare. The benefits and quotas were several times higher than before. The heads of the theaters and military headquarters were stationed for a long time.

The key is to shout slogans to sharpen the combat troops in the entire theater. Under such circumstances, how can we not be jealous of other units?

It can be said that the current strategic assault division has become the imaginary enemy in the entire theater without doing anything.

In the past, when officers of the 169th Brigade went out to do business, no one made it difficult for you. Now go back to the group army and report your name to the 704th Division?

The big head can probably be slapped flat! !

This is no joke. Who is the public enemy of the entire war zone without grinning?
After assigning the Tiger and Wolf Battalion, Chen Ming marked the divisions of several other combat units in the regiment and entrusted Lao Dushun to take them back to inform them.

Selling this old boy a favor showed that he was well-informed, and it also saved the comrades from the War Department from having to make a separate trip.

At this stage, the Niutoushan garrison base is being improved step by step, and it is not considered off duty at night. There are three people in a regiment, a deputy regiment, and a battalion-level cadre, and no one is checking them.

So, after the business arrangements were completed, the three cats went to the firepower department dormitory to have a party and drink, talking about the future of the Blue Army Division.

Just like when we talked freely about the situation in Tiger Wolf Camp, it's just that our ambitions are not as confused now as they were then.

While chatting, several people discussed which unit had the strongest firepower and could pose the greatest threat to the strategic assault division.

Some people mention the hero unit, and some people mention the ace unit. In short, it makes people sigh when they mention it. The reason is that the 169th Synthetic Brigade was too last in the past.

Now even if it expands, it is difficult to say that it will definitely be able to teach the Red Army a lesson if the combat effectiveness is not fully achieved in a short period of time.

But when Chen Ming mentioned the arrangement of the fire department so that they didn't need to worry, Du Longfei and Zhang Jintao were even more stunned and shocked.

Because when the fire department was conducting surveying and mapping, electromagnetic jammers were already buried fifty centimeters under the ground in many places.

It has no other effects, but once it is turned on, all electronic equipment of the troops in this position will malfunction.

No matter what positioning system or radar detection, everything turns blind.

He stood there waiting to be beaten.

Du Longfei sighed after hearing this. He knew that this was the acquiescence of the division headquarters. That's why it was so scary. Damn, that was the director's department during wartime.

While drinking, Battalion Commander Du had to observe a second of silence for the future Red Army. It was really difficult.

The Blue Army troops temper the Red Army troops, not in the true sense of combat, but in mind, will, and all aspects.

As long as there is a situation that may arise on the battlefield, the Blue Army will show it to the Red Army.

The main thing is to do whatever you want.

In the end, the three people appropriately compared the overall situation of the Niutoushan garrison base.

That was a furry bear, driving a Eagle Sauce tank, using John Bull's shit-stirring tactics. The most important thing is that this furry bear also had the fighting will of the people's soldiers.

Nima
three days later.

The Niutoushan Garrison Base officially entered the live-fire drill period. Early in the morning, just as Chen Ming came out of his dormitory, there was a burst of explosions from the northwest.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

There are only three days left before the New Year's Day military parade, and the entire garrison base is full of troops practicing.

In the sky, reconnaissance planes, armed fighter jets, and even an occasional fighter plane pierced the sky, and sonic booms continued to be heard.

Chen Ming stopped outside the main gate of the Vitality Department, looking at the fighter jets in the sky, listening to the sound of gunfire in the distance, and was slightly lost in thought.

Just now I saw Wang Shuaibing and Baldy, who were following the information office to the training ground to record firepower. Suddenly, they remembered inexplicably the first time they heard the sound of artillery fire during the training in the recruit company.

The entire first class of recruits didn't sleep all night.

I'm both excited and scared. What's exciting is that as a man, especially a soldier, I have no resistance to this kind of thing.

Artillery, tanks, they didn't even know the difference at that time.

It was precisely because I didn't understand that I was afraid. I was afraid that if a shell was suddenly thrown into the yard of the recruit company, it would be terrible.

Now, seven years have passed, and every scene of the past seems to be happening before our eyes.

"Chen Chu, what are you doing here?"

While Chen Ming was lost in thought, a silly voice came from behind, and he knew who was coming without even turning around.

In the whole fire department, the only one who spoke in a loud voice was the old squad leader Xiong, probably because he was tall and had a thick throat.

"It's okay." Chen Ming responded with a smile. He was a little surprised to see squad leader Lao Xiong holding a list, a tripod, and a prism in his hand. "Didn't the surveying and mapping end yesterday afternoon? Why do we have to go over now?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, squad leader Lao Xiong scratched his head naively and said: "The surveying and mapping is over. Didn't Staff Deng just say that he would take us over to complete the finishing work?"

"There is also sawdust for making sand tables, and there are some strings that are not enough. I plan to go outside to get materials locally and bring some back."

"Yes." Chen Ming nodded. The remaining unfinished part was almost close to the residential area. There was no live ammunition drill there, so there was no danger.

There are many missing items that can also be purchased at nearby stores.

Chen Ming raised his wrist and looked at the time, "Let's do this, Staff Officer Deng."

"arrive."

Deng Haiyang, head of the Firepower Operations Department, responded loudly.

"What about that? Just arrange for a few people to go over and sort it out for the follow-up finishing work. Let Monitor Lao Xiong drive me to the gatehouse."

"The New Year's Day military parade is about to start. I guess if we don't report today, the division headquarters will probably press us again."

"Yes."

Deng Haiyang nodded quickly. Xiong Jiuchang had to actively follow the finishing work, so there were not so many people needed.

"Monitor Xiong, you go and take Chen Chu with you, so you don't have to do the finishing work."

"okay!!"

Xiong Jiuchang agreed and hurriedly ran towards the parking lot of the fire department. Except for the security department, which had relatively fixed tasks, the other four departments were almost all used in tandem.

Anyway, you can do any job. Except for special professional skills, the rest must be versatile and you must be able to get started anywhere.

There is only one platoon in the Security Department, which is only responsible for standing guard. There is no specific task arrangement mentioned above. Chen Ming has also considered it, but he has not figured out what else the Security Department can do.

The vehicle starts.

Chen Ming was sitting in the back seat, and squad leader Lao Xiong drove away from the fire station.

"Squad leader."

"Hey!!"

"I've been busy lately and haven't had much chat with you. Do you still feel comfortable working in the fire department? Are there any difficulties at work?"

Chen Ming asked. The busy he said was really not that he was busy, but that Lao Xiong was busy.

Whenever he had a job, this veteran would leave early and come back late. Either he would go surveying with the War Department, or he would go surveying with the Information Department, or he would contact the local management department with the Political Department.

Good guy, he is busier than Chen Ming, the director of the firepower department.

He also told the other party several times that he should just do his job well, but it was a pity that it was useless. Baldy and the two of them just went when there was work, and they even beat the always lazy Wang Shuaibing.

It really proves the old saying, those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

Recently, I have been following the two of them every day to learn skills. Of course, most of the time I also wanted them to talk about their previous experiences in the border defense force.

Hearing Chen Ming's question, Xiong Jiuchang smiled naively again and said, "If there's anything you can't adapt to, there won't be any difficulty."

"The mountains and rivers here are great, the scenery is great, you can eat meat every meal, and you have endless energy all day long. You don't have to worry about me, everything is fine here."

"Ah."

After hearing this, Chen Ming was speechless for a while.

Precisely because he has been to the Second Company of the Border Defense and stayed at the station on the snow-capped mountain, he can better understand the old squad leader Xiong's saying that good mountains, good water, good scenery, and meat every meal are a good measure.

Nowadays, the country has developed quite well, and it is no longer what it was in the 80s and [-]s.

Even if they are the worst type of soldiers in the army, their food is more than ten times better than that of the Second Company of Border Guards.

There is nothing we can do, the environment there is too harsh, and there will be heavy snowfalls that close the mountains for three or four months at every turn.

As far as the eye can see, there is a dark and desolate land, and looking up are the vast white snow-capped mountains. The environment is indeed not at all good.

Lao Xiong knew that Chen Ming had been worried about him and that something was wrong with his body. Even if he was transferred from the Western Theater, he would still have injuries on his resume.

Therefore, soldiers like him are required to go to the military hospital with their documents for review every three months, sometimes even one month.

The same goes for bald men.

The reason why the two of them worked so hard at first was that they didn't know how long they could stay in the army. They took the initiative to apply to join the engineering army to participate in the construction of the Niutoushan garrison base, just to contribute more.

Just after leaving the plateau area, their bodies recovered very well. The military hospital also said that it would not affect anything at all. As long as they don't work hard on physical fitness like recruits, cross-country for five kilometers, and don't do too strenuous exercise, they will be fine.

The two of them also felt at ease.

But the idea of ​​working against time and making more contributions became deeply ingrained in one year.

It can't be changed.

While the two were chatting, the vehicle was speeding along. The firepower station was located next to the division headquarters, which was equivalent to being very close to the inside.

The gatehouse is at the outermost edge, so both of them have to drive a long way around.

After driving for nearly half an hour, we finally arrived at the gatehouse. At this time, there were still many people from the engineering corps here, as well as people from the fire department.

Chen Ming looked at the pattern he had gathered the entire fire department to research, with a smile on his lips.

The gatehouse of the Niutoushan garrison base is very simple, with nothing special about it. To the west is an oversized Type [-] rifle, commonly known as Hanyang-made rifle. The butt of the gun is on the ground, and the bright bayonet points to the east.

In the east, there are two models of Type 03 rifles. The butts of the rifles drag the ground left and right, the muzzles reach the sky, and they cross together to support the bayonets made in Hanyang.

The Type [-] rifle is placed diagonally from the west to the east, which naturally serves as the gatehouse.

Printed on the dark mottled gun body are nine large characters: "Welcome to Niutoushan Base."

The large golden characters just end at the bayonet, and the bayonet shoots straight to the sky, representing a high fighting spirit.

It also indicates that coming to the Niutoushan Garrison Base is not a brisk journey, but a baptism of fire.

Stepping into this gate means that the real battle has begun.

It is now basically completed.

Chen Ming got out of the car and walked around for a while, then asked comrades in the engineering corps, and almost got confirmation.

Construction of the gate can be completed on the same day.

This kind of construction speed really requires the engineering corps. The gate, which is more than ten meters high and wide, can be described, drawn, designed, built, and completed in less than half a month. Only they can be so high. s efficiency.

Chen Ming wandered around the group and found no problems, so he asked squad leader Lao Xiong to drive and take him back to the division headquarters to report.

Before the New Year's Day military parade, this gatehouse was the only place that was under constant supervision from above.

Now it's finally completed.

When I arrived at the division headquarters and saw Wang Junwei, Chen Ming had not yet opened his mouth to report the situation.

Wang Junwei was the first to speak: "By the way, does your fire department also have a security department with a platoon of troops stationed there?"

"I heard Political Commissar Xu mention this matter."

"Comrade division commander, yes."

"Well, in this case, our new garrison base is not perfect in all aspects, but it cannot be left without it."

"You go back and make arrangements, train more, and let the security department of your firepower department serve as security pickets at our garrison base."

"I will arrange for the Joint Logistics Department to send the required vehicles and military uniforms in the future. Please make more arrangements to train them."

"This matter should be implemented as soon as possible. After New Year's Day, we will either fight or have the leaders from above come to inspect. I can't say yet, but you must be well prepared."

"Yes"

Chen Ming raised his hand in salute, feeling a little depressed. This fire department was really a unit dedicated to chores.

A few days ago, he was thinking about what to do with the security department. After all, there were about thirty people.

Now, he didn't expect that the higher-ups would help him think about it.
