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

Chapter 384: Beacon rising in Niutoushan, planning for actual combat is underway

It was still dark when the competition left the college, and it was raining heavily. When we returned, the sun was shining brightly.

It didn't last long, but Chen Ming was filled with emotion, especially when he passed by the National Flag Square, saw the national flag flying there, and thought about the oath taken during the competition.

Chen Ming felt as if a long time had passed.

On the way, the staff of the Joint Warfare College were busy dismantling electronic equipment.

On the distant mountain peak, the members of the Cadet Brigade were also retreating.

it is finally over.

Chen Ming sat in the back seat of the vehicle and stretched out his hands to rub his eyes. When the competition was announced, he was still full of expectations, thinking that the competition should not be difficult.

I really didn’t expect it to be so straightforward. In the past three days since I’ve been here, I’ve only eaten three meals, and my legs have almost become thin.

Return to the academy.

Chen Ming went straight back to the dormitory on the first floor, put the backpack he brought with him on the cabinet, and went into the bathroom with a change of clothes.

During the competition, it was almost like going to the field for military training, and the treatment was even worse.

I didn't have anything to eat or drink. I slept for a while with my eyes closed, my mind was still thinking, and my body was wandering in and out of the woods and barren mountains after the rain.

He was already dirty.

"dong dong dong"

Chen Ming had just taken a shower when there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" With a large towel tied around his waist, he really didn't meet the conditions for opening the door.

"Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel Chen, I am the operator assigned temporarily by the Competition Department. I have a call for you."

"Looking for me?" Chen Ming was startled. He quickly flipped through his suitcase and took out the military uniform Chai Shuyao had prepared for him. He glanced at his cell phone and found that it was still turned off.

"Wait a minute, I'll be there right away."

He didn't know who was calling him, but Chen Ming had a hunch that the person had a lot of background.

He was able to call the academy, and he could also accurately find the operator temporarily arranged for the competition. Even he himself didn't know that there was such a position for the competition.

He hurriedly put on his clothes and opened the door. Standing outside was a young soldier with the rank of private.

"Hello comrade, where did the call come from?"

"Reporting to the head, I don't know. I was transferred in and asked to find you by name."

"Okay, take me there."

"Yes."

The operator trotted all the way to lead Chen Ming. The so-called competition department wiring room was still in their dormitory building, also on the first floor. It was considered a small office.

Chen Ming strode to the table, picked up the phone and put it to his ear, saying loudly: "Hello, I am Chen Ming."

"I know you are Chen Ming, okay, boy, the college has notified me of your results in this competition."

"Okay, well done!!"

There was a burst of laughter from the other side, and you knew who it was without even asking.

"Hello, Chief." Chen Ming quickly stood at attention.

"Well, not bad, beyond my expectation."

Opposite, Wang Junwei, commander of the 704th Division, expressed unabashed praise.

"Vice President Lin arranged for people to call me just now. I thought the old man was going to scold me again, but I didn't expect it was because of you, kid."

"I want to inform you that you won the first place in overall score in this competition. It really surprises me."

Wang Junwei sighed, he really didn't expect it.

Although before departure, he repeatedly emphasized that Liu Zhiyang and Chen Ming of the 704th Division should get good results, but the first place is not a cabbage.

It's not just that anyone can take it if they want. The score may not represent everything, but it is definitely authoritative.

It was too difficult to get a high ranking. All the people participating in the competition were at the level of chief of staff. Even if he went there, he couldn't say he could get into the top ten.

There are countless strong generals in the army, and there are too many capable people.

Listening to the chief's unabashed praise, Chen Ming also felt happy. The fatigue of the past few days turned into motivation and said: "The chief is still well-informed."

"I'm still thinking about reporting back when I get back."

"Fart." Wang Junwei glared, "I don't know you yet? Even if you cause trouble outside, you won't say anything when I come back."

"Okay, my blessing has been sent. The Niutoushan Red Army has arrived. Please deal with the rest of the matter quickly and report back as soon as possible."

"A war?" Chen Ming was pleasantly surprised. The last red and blue exercise was just childish. It was a manifestation of strategy and conspiracy, and it was nothing at all.

This time is the real war.

"Chief, who is the enemy? Which army is from 71/72/73? Chief?"

"Damn...!" Chen Ming shouted for a long time before he realized that the phone on the other side had hung up. What kind of blessing was this?

He didn't say a word that should be said, and he didn't mention a word that shouldn't be said. Does he need this kind of blessing?

Chen Ming shook his head and hung up the phone. He seemed to hear the sound of shells exploding in his ears. He was so excited that he wished he could fly back to Niutoushan now.

The operator next to him was stunned for a moment.

I don't understand what Lieutenant Colonel Chen is scolding.

"What about that, comrade, the call has been hung up. Do you know what other plans the people who come back after the competition have?"

"If there are no arrangements, I will go back to the army first."

"Reporting to the chief, the summary meeting hasn't started yet, you can't go back now."

Private answered truthfully.

"Well, thank you. You go first." Chen Ming did not delay here any longer. He wanted to find out who the Red Army was this time.

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is always victorious. It was never mentioned directly above. He was going to serve as the brigade chief of staff after returning from the competition.

But there are some things that just need to be known. Before departure, Chief of Staff Liu Zhiyang said in a very subtle way that he would not accompany us again when he came back. The brigade commander and political commissar of the 169th Brigade had all withdrawn.

Returning to his original unit, many positions in the brigade are currently vacant.

The composition of the Strategic Assault Division is very complex and its missions are diverse. The settings of some departments cannot be said to be dispensable, but they are definitely not as important as other units.

But the chief of staff and brigade commander cannot be left without them.

Returning to the dormitory, Chen Ming plugged in the charger, connected his phone, and turned it on.

I found my wife's phone number and dialed it.

"Chen Ming? Is your competition over?" On the opposite side, Chai Shuyao received the call fiercely with a very happy tone.

Because she had called more than once in the past two days, but unfortunately her phone was turned off every time.

It is not uncommon for soldiers to go out on business, conduct exercises, or participate in competitions.

"Well, it's over, Yaoyao, is there a war in the division?"

"Ah! You are quite well-informed." Chai Shuyao smiled lightly and said, "The fight started yesterday morning. You are no stranger to it this time. It is the 5th Synthetic Brigade of the 71st Army."

"Currently, the Red Army's front has advanced to Niutou Lake. The Red Army soldiers began to cross the river last night. Until now, the critical battle has not been won."

"Crossing the river? Niutou Lake?" Chen Ming was confused.

What the hell?

He knew that Niutou Lake and Niutou Mountain were named because a mountain resembled a lying golden bull and a natural peak resembled a bull's head. In addition, many places in Fuzhou were named after the word "niu".

As for Niutou Lake, it is the lake next to Niubei Ridge. It is quite big, with a width of more than 200 meters.

But it's only three or four kilometers long.

Can this thing be called crossing the river? Wouldn't it be solved if we took a detour? Who in the brain is so stupid that they insist on swimming from the lake without taking a good road?

"Hehe." Chai Shuyao couldn't help laughing when she heard Chen Ming's surprise.

"It's really a river crossing, because the director said that according to the drill rules, the lake is as long as the Yangtze River and the width remains the same."

"As the attacker, the Red Army must advance along Niutou Lake. Now it has tried to cross the river four times with all its supplies and weapons."

"The Blue Army defended themselves by the lake. During the day, the battle was so dark that it was like night. At night, the battle was as bright as day. In the battle across the river, the Red Army suffered heavy losses."

"Also, the director's department said that the Red Army's air defense has been interfered with and must be used in different time periods. The rest of the time is during the interference period."

"The Blue Army dispatched hundreds of combat aircraft to bombard the Red Army. The battle was very stalemate."

"I don't know much about fighting. Just wait a moment and I'll send you a set of pictures shot by the Propaganda Department on your mobile phone. You can take a look."

Chai Shuyao turned on the camera hanging around her neck, used the camera's small screen to turn on Bluetooth, and sent the message to her mobile phone, planning to show it to Chen Ming later.

Chen Ming scratched his head when he heard the scream, and wished he could fly back quickly.

Chai Shuyao does not understand command or combat. Her story can only be used as a partial reference. She does not even know the battle damage and situation of both sides.

The screen is transmitted back.

Chen Ming clicked on it and was attracted immediately. The picture was shot on a high mountain.

The Red Army formed boats to lead the tanks across the river, and artillery provided cover from the rear, launching fire suppression against the Blue Army in the distance. The Blue Army didn't know who was commanding them. Their tactics were disgusting. No matter how fierce the Red Army's attack, they never responded.

When the Red Army was halfway across the river, fierce artillery fire caused huge waves to form on the river. The boat could not continue to move forward. The Red Army soldiers were unable to exert their combat effectiveness in the lake and were very passive in fighting.

The momentum has weakened by more than half.

No wonder the four attempts to organize the crossing of the river failed. Chen Ming shook his head slightly. The Red Army formed 5 brigades. Their combat effectiveness was the same as that of the original 86 brigades. It was hard to say which one was stronger or weaker. It was hard to say.

Because they are all heavily armed brigades, this kind of organization is used to shake things up. If they really cross the river together, the pair will be in a hard fight.

Chen Ming didn't know what methods other enemies would use, but he knew that the 5th Combined Brigade would definitely have methods. Even tonight, the Blue Army might not be able to stop the Red Army from crossing the river.

The reason is very simple. The chief of staff of the 5th Brigade is the same as him. They are all people who came from Longya, and the other party has not stayed as long as him.

But in those days, it would be a tough job to go to Longya to study.

When Chen Ming was ordered to lead the Tiger Wolf Battalion, he often went to the 5th Brigade to learn from the experience and also learned from the Chief of Staff.

This time, it's hard to say it's going to be right.

The footage shot by the Propaganda Department was brief, but the war spread and forced them to retreat.

Filming was stopped.

"When will you come back?" Chai Shuyao asked about the return date. She also vaguely knew that when Chen Ming came back this time, he would probably take over the command of the Blue Army.

As a wife, no matter what her background is, she is still a woman after all. She hopes that her man can show his power on the battlefield, defeat the enemy, and use the flames of war to extinguish the "invading enemy."

"Soon, maybe we'll be there tomorrow morning." Chen Ming said firmly.

He was going to war, a rare opportunity.

Even if the opponent's commander is the same as him and has come out of Dragon Fang, it doesn't matter. He can grow a lot from fighting a powerful opponent.

"Well, the surrounding areas of Niutoushan are now under martial law. Please contact your work unit in advance when you come back."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to get past the outermost blockade."

Chai Shuyao's worries were not unfounded. Niutoushan is a training ground. Once a war breaks out here, troops in the outer area have been arranged to cooperate with the local armed police detachment a few days ago.

Comprehensive martial law was implemented, and the surrounding people were not allowed to join in the fun or pick up shrapnel.

During the battle, members of the 704th Division were not allowed to leave or go out. This competition was notified by the military department, and Chen Ming was an exception.

But when Chen Ming heard the same words, he wasn't worried at all. He said with relief: "Don't worry, I won't be able to let in anyone who can't get in."

"Staying at the fire station for so long was not in vain."

The two chatted for a while, then Chen Ming hung up the phone, threw the phone on the bed, and lay there to rest.

Occasionally, you can hear vehicles passing by outside. It should be that another comrade is returning.

But he didn't look at it. Judging from the last statistics, it wouldn't be that easy to wait for everyone to finish.

Thinking of the grand scene of the red and blue battle in Niutoushan, Chen Ming lay on the bed, feeling his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and finally snoring.

Da da da.

Bang! !

Chen Ming, who was sleeping, heard someone pushing open his dormitory door, but he was too tired and continued to sleep on his side.

As a result, the people who came in were offended.

A guy who was all dirty and had no time to wash his face was trembling with trembling fingers.

Stretching towards Chen Ming's bed.

"You, you, you, you are still in the mood to sleep, get up quickly, there is a meeting."

"Damn it, you won first place, how did you manage to sleep?"

"If you leave this matter alone, the whole world will be screaming for ten minutes. Get up quickly."

As he said this, the person who came here kicked the end of the bed, as if he was very angry because Chen Ming could rest but he couldn't.

"Hurry up, I'm not kidding you."

"I just came back to inform you that there will be a summary meeting tonight. I should go back early tomorrow morning. It is said that tonight's meeting is quite important."

Chen Ming, who was originally in a daze, sat up immediately when he heard that he would be able to set off early tomorrow morning.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the visitor, Chen Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I'm telling you, Lao Guo, you don't have to be so miserable if you're miserable, right?"

"When the conference is held, will you go to the competition with this dignified appearance? At least pack up, wash your face and change your clothes."

It's really not that Chen Ming wanted to laugh at him, it was actually Guo Canhui's image that was a bit ruined.

Last night, due to running around at night, I got a lot of mud on my head and face. It was all dried up originally, so it was nothing.

Perhaps it was during the last item of the assessment. There were many people inside the big tent and it was too hot. The dried mud mixed with the sweat on the face and fermented again.

He completely turned into a colorful-faced cat. If he wasn't absolutely familiar with this guy, he would have almost not recognized him.

"You kid, don't be so heartless. You still have the nerve to laugh at me?"

Guo Canhui suddenly became angry when he saw Chen Ming's unreasonable look.

"The meeting was announced just now. If I hadn't been thinking about you, who would have come over to call you at this time."

"Get up quickly. Wash your face and we're about to leave. It's the auditorium opposite, so hurry up."

"Okay, please." Chen Ming sat up and rubbed his eyes, only to realize that it was already dark outside.

If it weren't for the lamp in the corridor that shined into the room and borrowed some light, I really wouldn't have been able to see Lao Guo's majestic appearance.

He would not be careless about things like meetings.

Chen Ming still believed him on this point.

Sure enough, as soon as he went out, Liu Zhiyang next door had packed up. When he saw Chen Ming coming out, he was obviously startled.

He smiled and said, "So you're Lao Chen in the dormitory? Congratulations, you won first place this time."

"The two of us are not in the same group for this competition, otherwise I would be able to admire your outstanding performance in this competition."

"Haha, it's a fluke, it's just a fluke." Chen Ming said haha. He couldn't accept the compliments directly.

The two exchanged a few words, and Guo Canhui ran downstairs again and nodded to Liu Zhiyang. Although they didn't know each other, they were at the same level.

You won't lose etiquette.

Guo Canhui only had time to change his shirt and pants and wash his face, not even his head.

The three of them hurriedly left the dormitory building and started gathering towards the auditorium in the distance.

Along the way, Chen Ming finally figured it out.

This time I participated in the competition, the last day was the most torturous. The written test was not difficult and there were no extra points. But the problem was that the participants were not energetic enough.

Going to that one, I was so sleepy that my head felt like pounded garlic. I kept trying one thing after another, just the few test questions, and it took me a whole day.

On the way to the meeting, many people were walking with unsteady legs.

Wait until you arrive at the auditorium.

It was even different from the gathering before the competition. The vast majority of people sat there without saying a word, and the dignity they usually felt was much less.

Chen Ming originally wanted to ask Lao Guo how they would end up later, but seeing that several leaders were present in the auditorium, he could not speak.

So I honestly found a seat and sat down.

On the stage, Feng Hongyi's face was stern, and his eyes swept across the crowd like a knife.

He cleared his throat and said, "Good evening, comrades."

"We have all worked hard in the past few days. During the competition, I saw many comrades actively competing for the first place and indeed achieved good results."

"We don't work hard, chief, we serve the people!!!"

Although all the participating officers were sitting there very sleepy and exhausted at this time.

But facing the chief's greetings, everyone still braced themselves and responded in unison.

The momentum seems quite strong.

Feng Hongyi smiled and nodded, without mentioning the specific summary of this competition. He said in a meaningful way: "Comrades, if we talk about the command organization, it is the core of commanding joint operations."

"Then the battle is the basic force in the command brain that assists in planning, coordination and control."

"The long river of history is endless, and our people's army is moving forward indomitably. All comrades here should know what the coordinates of a strong military facing the future are, right?"

"In the past two thousand years, our domestic military has basically achieved mechanization and information construction, and all of them have made significant progress."

"Strategic capabilities have also been greatly improved. The Ministry of Military Affairs once made a statistics. Starting from the year 2000, in the next thirty-five years, we will realize the modernization of national defense and the army. In the middle of the 21st century, the People's Army Comprehensively build a world-class military."

"That's not our goal, that's our plan."

"This is also the plan we are now implementing step by step."

Feng Hongyi said loudly, and all the exhausted officers sat upright.

Because of such a meeting, they must listen carefully and take notes carefully, and they must not be careless.
