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

Chapter 381 It’s you again, the rule breaker

The preparation before departure is not complicated.

The members of the seven groups moved the meeting point two kilometers forward, away from the woods.

Now that we know the purpose of the competition, we basically don’t have to worry about student soldiers coming to cause trouble.

Before the initial departure, the combat bureau had said that a temporary combat command room would be set up nearby to facilitate the formulation of attack plans.

At that time, the implication was that student soldiers would not cause trouble.

It's a pity that those participating in the competition will make a mistake and make a big mistake.

Fortunately, Chen Ming warned him in time, if he had reacted later.

After tonight, I wanted to start all the work, but I was really powerless and ran out of time.

Chen Ming cooperated with the people in the team to carry the tent and set up the temporary command room in a rugged area.

A simple folding table was laid out with surveying maps, and some people were arranged to go out to exchange map information with other groups, while a few people were left to guard the place.

The remaining people were divided into four groups and started to take advantage of the approaching darkness to prepare for reconnaissance.

Still the same as originally assigned.

Chen Ming and Guo Canhui, the "old enemies", were assigned together again. Their mission was to continue their mission along the road they were traveling during the day.

en route.

Guo Canhui looked up and saw that the sky was slowly being shrouded in darkness. He frowned and said, "Old Chen, you said that when you encountered student soldiers, they called for support."

"It only took a few minutes, and then someone came over. Judging from the nearby terrain, it takes a few minutes to drive along the main road. Isn't there any nearby terrain suitable for the garrison area?"

"Take it easy, don't take me the wrong way. I'm going to be so hungry and dizzy now, and I don't have night vision equipment at night. My old arms and legs can't afford to deal with you."

"You're a lazy ass," Chen Ming replied.

Their eyes were constantly looking at the surrounding terrain. The two of them had just passed through the drug-infected area that they had suddenly encountered before.

Judging from the situation during the day, the location where the two of them were now was exactly where he was hiding during the day.

Here, a dozen student soldiers were beaten until they were smoking, and the ruts on the ground were obvious.

Chen Ming was trying to determine the direction. He remembered that there were originally ten cars and No. 40 people coming to check the smoke. After he blocked them, the other party called for backup.

The follow-up personnel arrived very quickly. Even if they were driving, it was enough to show that the other party was not far from here.

He planned to start from this aspect and find the enemy camp. After all, he had to walk on two legs in the vast barren mountains.

If you are unlucky, you won't gain much even if you wait until dawn.

Time waits for no one.

"Whether you are good or not, you are not afraid of having your more than 400 points deducted. I still want to keep my early 300 points to earn some face."

At some point, Lao Guo took out another bag of breakfast from his arms. At this time, he was sitting on the mound eating meat buns as big as his palm.

He didn't do any work and was still driving Chen Ming to hurry up.

"Shut up." Chen Ming glanced back and carefully observed the surrounding terrain.

During the battle at that time, although the student soldiers they encountered were not very capable in combat, there were still many of them.

He didn't pay much attention to which direction people came from.

Judgment is being made at this time.

"I said you are also an old-timer, why don't you leave ink marks?" Chen Ming stared into the distance and thought about the route, but there was a smile at the corner of his mouth, secretly mocking Lao Guo.

Investigation is a boring job anyway, and this old guy can also deal with the boring time.

"Hey, you kid is so good at taking advantage of it. Don't tell me, old man, I won't take care of you. I took four bags of breakfast this morning and ate two bags. Now I'll eat one bag and give you one bag."

"Young people have never experienced hardship and do not understand the importance of preserving dry food."

"Are you born in the year of the rat?" Chen Ming put down the telescope, picked up the breakfast package and tore it open without ceremony.

He stuffed the cold steamed buns soaked in gas and water into his mouth, swallowing them in large gulps without even tasting them.

Then he pointed to the left front and analyzed: "I just made an observation. Taking our position as the center, the eleven o'clock position is the most likely to have enemy troops stationed."

"Hurry up and eat. Let's go over and have a look after eating."

"Well, I hope everything goes well." Lao Guo sat on the mound and did not doubt Chen Ming's judgment.

It's just that he doesn't have high hopes for the possibility of scoring points in this competition.

At present, the seven groups have received very little existing information, and there are eleven groups in total, which means that they need to exchange maps with the other ten groups.

It has been less than twenty-four hours since the competition ended.

They need to detect the specific distribution and organization of the enemy troops, and tailor an attack plan based on the surrounding maps.

Comprehensive subject competitions may not sound difficult, but the workload is actually quite high.

Hearing Lao Guo's doubts, Chen Ming smiled calmly and said: "Don't worry, although this competition reminded us to integrate all the grouped and painted maps into one."

"But that's just to get a more comprehensive understanding of the location and distribution of the enemy's troops. It doesn't mean I have to investigate you."

"Let's proceed according to the current plan first. At present, we have not encountered a large-scale encirclement and suppression, so it is relatively smooth."

"Anyway, I don't believe that a total of eleven groups can all go so smoothly. The simulated enemy forces must also contribute some strength, right?"

"We only need to figure out the enemy's formation, and there are no rule restrictions on the attack plan. We can't say that we will definitely be able to defeat other groups. We can always do it without deducting points."

Chen Ming explained the mission in a relaxed manner, which made Guo Canhui's eyes half-closed.

There was a sigh in my heart.

As seniors, they have rich combat experience, but sometimes they follow the rules too much.

There is still some gap between the thinking of outstanding military officers of the new generation.

He just wanted to collect the eleven grouped maps in accordance with the competition requirements and obtain a complete distribution of enemy forces.

I know it's hard, but I still find a way to do it.

Strictly follow the competition requirements.

But Chen Ming's thinking was different from theirs. He only focused on the final result and didn't care much about the results of other groups.

Firmly trust your own judgment.

Just focus on the final plan and how it goes, and you can change it as you like. I hope it won't stress you out about integrating with other groups.

What a terrible future! Guo Canhui bit into the bun and muttered.

"Chen Ming."

"Ah."

"What do you plan to do next? Find a cadet brigade location nearby?"

Guo Canhui pointed to the sky and said, "It's already dark. Our telescopes don't have night vision devices. We don't know what detection methods the enemy has."

"What are you going to do?"

"Here, follow the ruts. There are a lot of ruts on the main section of the road. If you follow these tracks, you will definitely gain something."

Chen Ming stood up, dusted himself off, and prepared to set off.

To be honest, he didn't know how to do investigation work. This was not the job of a staff officer.

But the problem is, if more than a dozen groups do not conduct investigations, how can we formulate a combat plan?

I don’t even know the specific coordinates, and I don’t know how many people there are.

Battle plan, who to fight?

"You have to think clearly, detection work is not that easy."

Guo Canhui stood up and followed Chen Ming, looking forward leisurely and saying, "Especially now that technology is so advanced, we may not be able to find traces of the enemy at all, and we will be exposed ourselves."

"Your method is generally correct, but the behavior is too radical, and the original plan may not be suitable."

"Didn't you just say that the cadet brigade's peripheral reconnaissance might be an act of weakness? Their combat effectiveness is not necessarily bad."

Hearing this, Chen Ming shook his head and jumped directly onto the road from where the two of them had been hiding for investigation.

Looking at the ruts extending in front of him, he said, "I know what you mean. Isn't it just trying to figure out what the purpose of this arrangement is?"

"But after much speculation, the tasks that need to be completed still need to be completed. The results are destined, and the process does not necessarily have to follow the requirements."

"Then again, if it's true what the staff in charge of this competition said, the student brigade doesn't know the specific time of the assessment at all."

"It's fair to say that our progress was so smooth at the beginning, but that's all. Even the second and third line troops are the worst in terms of deployment and control."

"It can form a brigade-level scale. If you want to deal with more than 200 contestants like us, it will be easy, right?"

"But the problem is that along the way we saw either uneven roads or woods. The drawing and material collection went smoothly."

"If they deliberately target us, I don't believe there is no movement in the cadet brigade."

"What's more, I've encountered them before, and I've seen other groups passively engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy because of me." "This didn't trigger a large-scale search from the other side, so what's the use of us staying behind to discuss?" "

Listening to Chen Ming's story, Guo Canhui didn't say a word and followed behind silently.

It's not that he thinks too much, or that he's timid.

The two of them went to investigate in such a blatant manner. The more experienced the veteran was, the more he felt it was inappropriate.

In this way, the two of them walked for nearly a kilometer. The ruts continued to stretch with no end in sight.

Without any other interference, Guo Canhui couldn't help but said: "Did you just mean to formulate a battle plan this time?"

"Is it also about the contestants' response to the sense of crisis? In other words, it's not that the enemy has made no movement or that they haven't discovered us, but that their actions haven't really started yet?"

"I guess so." Chen Ming did not deny it.

"Perhaps we are thinking too complicatedly. It is just a competition. No matter how large the scale mobilized to support it, in the end the competition is still about individuals. What we compete for is true ability, and what we rely on is true talent and practical learning."

"If the enemy forces don't discover it, or if they discover it and let it go, we won't be able to effectively intercept their intelligence and retreat with them."

"With such a grouping, even if we formulate a combat plan and have a combat plan, who would dare to use such a plan?"

"Isn't that equivalent to talking on paper?"

"Peace has been maintained for too long. Maybe they just want to use this competition as an opportunity to beat some units."

"Even I can think of it, and I'm sure the higher-ups can think of it too."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have made such a big show of arranging for thousands of people to come and act with us, right?"

"Although I don't know the specific arrangements made by the commander above, I believe that the soldiers must be quick. After investigating as soon as possible, stay away from this area."

Guo Canhui had to admire Chen Ming's boldness. His ideas were bold, and his approach even more so.

He had been thinking about whether this investigation would be too dangerous. Going so deep, two people going into someone else's lair to investigate, this was okay twenty years ago.

Nowadays, as long as someone takes over the control of early warning aircraft, drones, and radars, let alone two people, even if two flies are approaching, they can be identified if they want to.

But Chen Ming's idea was very strange.

He firmly believed that the student brigade had not taken any big action at this time, otherwise thousands of people wanted to arrest hundreds of them, and they would have rioted long ago.

Before this riot, it was the final stage of investigation.

Therefore, Chen Ming kept urging Lao Guo to hurry up. He had a vague feeling that the simulated enemy was not inactive.

Instead, they waited for the time to take action. Soldiers were very fast. Before the competition, they required three hours of concealed marching, drawing, and setting up a temporary command room.

It was only noon then.

If the student brigade, the secret enemy, does not move, then why should they come to cooperate?

Therefore, Chen Ming always felt that there was not enough time, so he had to investigate and retreat as soon as possible.

It's too late, something may happen.

Because this day passed so peacefully, even if the enemy was just a foil, he shouldn't be so unqualified as a foil.

Not even a little movement.

The biggest possibility is that as analyzed by Chen Ming, this assessment subject that was originally supposed to be placed in the first item was moved to the last item due to weather reasons. The purpose was that the leaders above wanted to knock on the peace issues of some units.

Let them experience a real setback, a complete setback.

After all, if it were not arranged in this way, no matter how important the chief of staff competition was, it would not be important enough to require a combat brigade to be a useless green foil, right?

Originally, Chen Ming didn't think about it, he just focused on the competition.

I thought about completing the mission, giving myself as many points as possible, and returning to the Niutoushan garrison base to put some light on my face.

But at the beginning of this competition, things were going too smoothly, except for the fact that a few inexperienced comrades were comically eliminated.

It was only by provoking him that he encountered the enemy. Others in the group never encountered him.

After staying in the woods for so long, there was no movement.

This made Chen Ming feel more and more that something was not right.

The intuition brought about by his military career made Chen Ming feel a sense of creepiness in this dark night.

The investigation must be speeded up. He could feel that the investigation was not difficult, but if it continued to be delayed, once the enemy took advantage of it, they would riot.

Then they will be captured.

In the end, Guo Canhui put aside his worries and agreed with Chen Ming's thinking.

He also felt that this journey was too peaceful. Maybe tonight, maybe at dawn, the simulated enemy would play a real role.

The soldiers were so quick that there was a three-hour limit at first, but no time limit later, and no meals were provided.

This is clearly the signal given above.

After the two reached an agreement, Lao Guo's legs became sharper. The two sneaked through the night and kept moving along the ruts.

The speed was very fast. Based on more and more marks on the ground, they guessed that they were not far from the enemy's station.

Operations center command room.

Originally, there was a breakdown of the comprehensive scores of each group of projections on the big screen, but now the details are no longer visible.

Instead, there is a high-altitude aerial projection of the entire barren mountain, as well as densely packed red dots.

If you identify it carefully, it is not difficult to see that these red dots correspond to more than 200 people participating in the competition.

At this time, Wang Haisheng, head of the combat brigade of the Army General Staff Department, was standing aside with a serious look on his face and said nothing.

In front of him, Feng Hongyi, Chief of Army Staff of the Military Department, and Lin Qingyuan, Deputy Dean of the Joint Warfare College, both stared at the overhead view on the big screen.

The two of them had just arrived and were not familiar with the situation at the scene, so they were watching.

Contestants like Chen Ming and others are not allowed to bring electronic equipment or night vision equipment. This arrangement from the beginning was actually just for this moment.

At this time, tens of meters above their heads, dense drones had dropped the people, behaviors, and locations of eleven groups.

If they are asked to bring electronic devices and night vision goggles, these things cannot be hidden and will inevitably be discovered by the participants.

"Haisheng." Feng Hongyi said.

"arrive."

"Report on the status of each group."

"Yes." Wang Haisheng responded, reaching out to open the folder in his hand, corresponding to the position of the red dot on the projection screen.

The progress recorded in the document was a secret report by the inspection team accompanying the team during the day.

"Report, the competition team has finished investigating the formation of the cadet brigade. They moved very quickly and completed it before dark. They are currently studying in the rear."

“One group responded most thoroughly to the requirements of our competition.”

"Yeah." Feng Hongyi nodded.

He knew that most of the members of the group came from the central war zone and were from the troops who defended Beijing and Tianjin, and they were not slack in their actions.

"The performance of groups two to five was not very good. After completing the drawing during the day, I have been trying to contact other groups to assemble a complete map. The current progress is not ideal."

"Group Six. During the day, a member of Group Seven was involved in a battle with the Cadet Brigade Reconnaissance Brigade. It spread to Group Six. They eliminated more than a dozen people. The progress is not going well."

"Affected by Group Seven?" Lin Qingyuan was startled.

"Yes, Dean Lin. A situation occurred in the seventh group during the day. During the simulation on the poisoned road section, they responded improperly and three people were eliminated."

"One of the comrades took the initiative to ambush the student brigade. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he led the main force of the student brigade to the sixth group. More than a hundred student comrades surrounded the sixth group."

"What about the person who was ambushed by Group 7?" Lin Qingyuan was speechless for a while.

Originally, according to the competition plan, the cadet brigade would not take the initiative to attack the participants before twelve o'clock in the morning.

Of course, if you encounter that, you will definitely fight.

Who would have thought that the sixth group was so unlucky that they were lured over by the seventh group without encountering them.

"The man who was ambushed by the seventh group escaped unharmed. He is fine." Wang Haisheng didn't know how to describe it.

The perimeter of the student soldiers is indeed deliberately arranged. The freshmen have little combat ability due to their experience.

But it is indeed a bit strange for more than a hundred young people to chase one person and lose them.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person in Group 7 who went to ambush him was Chen Ming, right?"

Lin Qingyuan asked with black lines on his forehead. If others didn't understand, how could he not understand the type of Chen Ming who screamed when encountering a fight?

However, this has been very restrained.

If it were in the past, this kid would definitely make trouble near the Cadet Brigade base and wouldn't give up so easily.

Upon hearing the dean's inquiry, Wang Haisheng hurriedly checked the name corresponding to the number and nodded decisively: "Yes, it's Chen Ming."

Sure enough it was him.

Feng Hongyi grinned, this kid is a rule breaker.

In previous tri-service joint exercises, it was he who forced the entire Blue Army division to stop fighting for a day.

This competition is again.

I went out for a walk and almost lost six groups.
