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

Chapter 386 This is a tactic, shameless is also a tactic

That night, Chen Ming asked Liu Zhiyang, who had come with him for the competition, and learned that he did not need to return to the 704th Division to report.

Early the next morning, Chen Ming packed his suitcase alone, looked at the medals distributed by the competition, shook his head and sighed slightly.

No matter how hard we fought in this competition, it was over after all, and the commemorative medal didn't have much effect. At most, it was just a memory to see in the future.

After packing his luggage, Chen Ming dragged his suitcase out of the dormitory building not long after dawn. Lao Guo followed behind and wanted to go to the Niutoushan garrison base with him.

Get ready to see what the 704th Division looks like today.

In the early morning, the academy was already bustling with activity just after dawn. Many young comrades in military uniforms were lined up and taken to the training ground.

The two of them left the college gate one after another, hailed a taxi, and headed straight to the airport.

Chen Ming sat in the back row and looked at Shimen Street. One after another, office workers riding electric bicycles began to set off from home, feeling a little regretful.

There is also a comrade of his in this city. After the last gathering, although there was contact during the period, it was far less frequent than before when he was in the army.

Everyone has their own life.

This time I came here and there was no time to get together again. After all, youth was gone.

Gone are the days when a group of people would laugh wildly on the training field, compete with each other, and scream for rankings.

Ma Dazhu was in the first class of the recruit company, and his overall performance was second only to his comrades. Unfortunately, he has now taken off his military uniform and is working hard in life.

His competitors are no longer close comrades, but helpless survival.

"What? You don't want to go back now?" Guo Canhui noticed that Chen Ming was in a bad mood, rubbed his face and asked.

"No, on the street I passed just now, a comrade of mine opened a shop there. I remembered what happened in the past." Chen Ming said truthfully.

"Oh, he's a comrade who was in the same year as you, right?"

"Ah."

Seeing Chen Ming nod his head in acknowledgement, Guo Canhui showed a true expression.

Because he deliberately learned about Chen Ming's experience in the 71st Army. Although this guy has not been in the army for a long time, he definitely has a lot of experience.

Jumping around in different units, most of the comrades that this kind of person can remember are soldiers of the same year.

Mentioning his comrades, Guo Canhui was also silent for a while.

For a veteran, the military camp is definitely a place that needs to be remembered for a lifetime.

But for veterans who are still serving, the military camp is also their home. The soldiers in the past were purer and had a stronger comradeship.

I still remember the scene where I brought a lighter and you brought a cigarette, and we left with just one look.

I still remember the experience of the whole class of comrades who were forced to crawl forward and go to the cooking class. I can also recall the scene of working with my comrades to fight floods and provide disaster relief for the people.

Guo Canhui is more than ten years older than Chen Ming. When he first joined the army, the prohibition on alcohol had not yet been issued, and the management during the recruit company was much stricter and harsher than now.

It is precisely this that made the veterans of that period pay more attention to the camaraderie of war.

The Internet was not developed at that time. When I received letters from my family in the army, I would often burst into tears with excitement.

Some comrades-in-arms were discharged from the army, and a group of people saw each other off. Their true feelings were revealed, and they cried heartbreakingly.

Seeing Chen Ming talking about his comrades, Lao Guo also felt nostalgic for him. He believed that all his old comrades still remembered that time.

That is an indelible mark on them in this life. Comrade-in-arms and love last a lifetime. Money cannot buy comrade-in-arms.

Even though they have all gone their separate ways now, and many of them have returned to their respective places to have their own jobs, he firmly believes that the quality of soldiers will not change.

If the motherland and the people need them, their comrades will rush forward regardless of the danger when they receive the call.

If there is a war, they must be recalled. This was the slogan of all their comrades back then.

Now more than twenty years have passed in a flash.

When the vehicle passed by the second-hand car market, Chen Ming calmed down and glanced at Lao Guo beside him. He found that the guy was also deep in thought and couldn't help but smile.

Without interrupting his train of thought, he took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to his wife Chai Shuyao, telling her that he was on his way back.

He has to take a plane from Shimen to Ludao later, and then take a taxi to Niutoushan. This time is during military training, so even if he comes back, he won't get any good treatment.

No one will answer.

All units are on duty at any time, waiting for combat orders. Even if someone from the logistics or firepower department can come, there is no need.

It's not like he can't go back, he will definitely not cause trouble to the troops if he can.

At noon, the two came out of Ludao Airport. According to Guo Canhui, they had not eaten eight bowls of specialties in Shimen in a hurry, so they wanted to treat Chen Ming to a special meal at Ludao.

In order to fulfill the promise made during the original competition, we actually came to someone else's territory. Lao Guo came to visit but did not report to the director's department.

We still have to rely on Chen Ming for help, and we need to be somewhat thoughtful.

The two of them set off too early and did not have breakfast, and Chen Ming was not polite to him. Ludao is most famous not for its cuisine but for its snacks. Fuzhou is famous for its Buddha jumping over the wall. He must have time to wait, right?

So, the two guys found a nearby restaurant and served two bowls of Sha Cha Noodles each.

After eating and drinking, we took a taxi on the roadside and started heading straight to Niutoushan.

"Are you two in suits going to Niutoushan?" The taxi driver saw Chen Ming and the others wearing military uniforms and greeted them in semi-Mandarin.

The right hand also raised a gesture similar to the orchid finger, which is the magic weapon of Fuzhou veteran drivers for chatting.

"Oh, that place is sealed, and there's going to be a war."

"You are also comrades in the military. You should be able to go there. Just charge four hundred for your hard work."

"The road conditions are like this now. There are no traffic lights. I told you that we are going very fast. I don't charge much, comrade soldiers, you know?"

"."

The driver was a very talkative guy, and Lao Guo was a very quick person. When he heard the fare was four hundred, he took four photos out of his pocket and took pictures in front of him.

This guy knows how to settle accounts. From Ludao to Niutoushan, it takes at least three hours to drive. They charge 400, but they really don't want much.

If Lao Guo doesn't take the photo, Chen Ming will take the photo, and he meets a real person.

On the way, the old driver's right hand seemed to be in a seal, and he was swaying as he talked. He was quite talkative, talking about the original desolation of Niutoushan and the current military base.

Talking about the discussion of soldiers by nearby residents, it is not difficult to guess that this old driver is also from a town near Niutoushan.

Of course, everything said is complimentary.

Chen Ming also responded appropriately, guiding the route from time to time. People outside the garrison base could touch it, but they could not find the specific entrance.

The road became more and more rugged, turning from the main road to a dirt road, and the occasional sound of gunfire in the distance reminded them that they were there.

Occasionally, helicopters can be seen in the distance, and the low-altitude rumbles pass by, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Guo Canhui had never been here before, so he didn't know where the route directed by Chen Ming was. He opened the car window, stretched his head outside, and asked strangely: "Old Chen, can your Blue Army not be able to hold on anymore?"

"Why is it that the rear area has begun to frequently mobilize troops and artillery, and the Red Army is about to board the Blue Army's lair?"

"No, it's not even close. This is not the Sangun Gate area, but the Niutou Lake area. If my estimate is correct, Niutou Lake should have been lost."

Chen Ming looked forward with a faint look, Zhao Shengkui, the chief of staff of the 5th Hessian Brigade, a fierce general who had been trained by Longya.

In the past, Chen Ming had often sought advice from this person. Now he is forty-six years old. Zhao Shengkui's deeds are not widely spread among the new generation of young officers, but this does not mean that he is not famous.

The other party signed up to join the army in the middle of the night in 01, which was the year when the military headquarters issued an order to establish the 58th Machinery Brigade.

Zhao Shengkui became a recruit of the 58th Brigade. He joined the army as a conscript. He served as a soldier for three years, won three second-class merit awards and was promoted to an officer as a corporal.

At that time, special operations were extremely popular, and outstanding Tigan officers could be recommended to the Longya Commando Force directly under the Jinling Military Region for several months of training.

Obviously, Zhao Shengkui went.

Needless to say, Ryuga was strict. After the training, he returned to the mechanized infantry brigade. At that time, he performed well and was motivated. He was promoted fairly quickly and within a few years he served as the company commander of the mechanized infantry company.

From 01 to 03, the military ordered the establishment of five ace mechanized infantry brigades, and Zhao Shengkui's 58th brigade was one of them.

The company commander of the Ace Brigade can be said to be quite arrogant.

Maybe it's because he has strong abilities, maybe he has good opportunities, maybe he has both, and will later establish a combined brigade.

In the year when the last batch of conscripts took off their military armbands, the synthesis was in full swing, and there was an urgent shortage of talents everywhere. Zhao Shengkui, who had experience in the infantry brigade, was transferred to the 5th Synthetic Brigade of the st Army after many transfers.

Being able to reach this point as Ti Gan shows how strong his abilities are. Of course, if it weren't for Ti Gan's channel, he might have gone further.

This is a very strong opponent.

When Chen Ming was in the 169th Brigade, he heard Chief of Staff Xu Wenqian mention Zhao Shengkui several times.

Later, he personally contacted him and knew that this man was very good at fighting, and Niutoushan's interception plan for crossing the river could not stop him.

Sure enough, it really came true.

Chen Ming looked at the situation nearby and found that the Red Army should have crossed Niutou Lake. The army was approaching the Blue Army headquarters. The total distance was only a few dozen kilometers.

This range is almost considered the early stage of the decisive battle. "It is normal to lose ground. It is impossible to stop the Red Army's heavy armored brigade with just one lake. Even if the firepower on the other side is deployed to suppress two regiments, it is probably not enough. Even if we forcefully cross the river, the loss will be too great."

Guo Canhui shook his head, not surprised by this result.

Because last night, while chatting in the restaurant after the summary meeting, Chen Ming told him about the progress of the red-blue confrontation.

He agreed with Chen Ming's estimate at that time.

The Blue Army did take advantage of this tactic. A long time ago, there were clear arrangements for the tactics of crossing the river. If you don't cross, don't fight, and then fight when you are halfway across.

Putting the enemy in a dilemma and delaying their offensive morale. If it is delayed three times in a row, their morale may be broken.

"Master, please stop here. If you go any further, you may be in trouble."

"Put us down right here."

Chen Ming patted the back seat to remind the driver.

Even if he didn't say anything, the driver would probably have to stop because the comrade responsible for the blockade from afar had already arrived.

It is not that there are no local residents in the combat zone. There are also residential towns within the blockade. However, there are military pickets guarding the main roads there. The distance is a bit far, and there is no need for Chen Ming to go there.

The two got out of the taxi and reminded the driver that they could leave.

The old master who got the permission was very cooperative. He hit the throttle and almost came to the spot and ran all the way away with a chirp.

Just like a frightened old rabbit.

If Chen Ming and the others hadn't stepped out of the car in military uniforms, the soldiers who came from afar to seal off the perimeter would have planned to chase them.

The surroundings were like this, and the soldiers were stunned for a while.

But he quickly recovered and looked at Chen Ming and Guo Canhui. One was a lieutenant colonel and the other was a colonel. He did not dare to neglect them.

He hurriedly stood at attention and said: "Hello, chief, the front is the exercise combat area, which is currently sealed."

"Chief, what are you doing?"

"It's okay, my name is Chen Ming, and this is my ID." Chen Ming took out his military officer ID and handed it over.

"You can call the superiors to verify. I am the director of the 704th Division's Firepower Division. Do I have an armband for the director's department? Give me two."

"ah?!!"

The soldier who checked the documents was also a soldier from Niutoushan. He might not know Chen Ming or have seen him, but he had definitely heard of him.

This person was so famous during the reorganization period.

Not only did he lead the firepower department to build a service center for soldiers in Niutoushan, it also improved their boring rest days.

They also set up many rewards and banners for each company, and even many soldiers in the company who were not physically fit found a place to use.

It can be said that from the negative attitude of the Niutoushan Garrison Base at the beginning, many people later fell in love with it and truly accepted it from the bottom of their hearts because of the vigorous rectification of the Firepower Department.

Soldiers like nothing more than honor, and this can be given to you here. If you don't want cold concern, the Fire Department will help you.

Until now, all combat units belonging to the 704th Division eat in the same order: conscripts first, then non-commissioned officers, and finally officers.

At first some people said it was just a show, which was not true, but they kept doing it for more than a year, and now it has become a tradition. It was really for the sake of soldiers like them.

"Hello Chen."

The soldier who checked the documents saluted again, but felt a little embarrassed: "Chen Chu, it's okay for me to let you in."

"But we don't have any pickets from the director's department. Only the fire department has reserves for those things, but we don't."

"Haha, it's okay. Just contact the fire department and tell them that it was me who asked them to send someone some armbands. I'll wait for them here."

"Yes, Chen Chu." The soldier responded hurriedly and ran back.

It looked like he was going to report.

During the conversation just now, Guo Canhui stood in front of him without speaking. After watching the soldier walk away, he glanced sideways at Chen Ming and said, "Boy Chen, I'm not telling you, I'm really not as bad as you."

"What are you doing with the director's armband?"

"Don't think I don't know. When you come back from the competition this time, you will be a member of the Blue Army, not the director's department."

"You are taking advantage of your position to seek personal gain. If you wear the director's armband and go to the Red Army station to show off reconnaissance firepower without any laser simulator on you, wouldn't you be in for a big blow if the Red Army neglects to take precautions? deficit?"

"Boy Chen, please practice some virtue and don't be so damaging."

Seeing that Lao Guo saw through his intentions, Chen Ming shrugged his shoulders without any embarrassment.

Yes, he did plan to disguise himself as a battlefield picket from the director's department and conduct deep reconnaissance into the Red Army's hinterland as a third party.

Otherwise, why would he go straight here instead of going through the Sangun Gate? Are you full?

In the war, he would do whatever he could, and now he had no reports or appointments, so he was still a member of the Firepower Department.

There is no verbal appointment, so why not go to the Red Army station for a walk?

After this battle, if he thinks about using this method in the future, he will definitely fail. What he wants is to take advantage of the loopholes.

Look at the deployment of the Red Army openly, and if he is allowed to command the Blue Army, then turn around and launch a targeted attack.

This is called tactics, even if it is shameless, it is still tactics.

"I think you should rely on your control of the battle situation and the layout of the battlefield to fight the Red Army with real swords and guns."

"It shouldn't be done this way."

Guo Canhui thought that Chen Ming had listened to his advice and was talking tirelessly beside him.

In the end, Chen Ming just waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Chief of Staff Guo, I'll just do the investigation later."

"I'll take a few people from the fire department to patrol. You wait for me here."

"As a guest, how dare I ask you to go with me? If you don't go, you don't have to worry about whether this method will work."

ah? ! !

Hearing this, Guo Canhui's face fell and he shook his head decisively.

Just kidding, he just took this opportunity to insult Chen Ming. He acted as the director and went deep into the enemy's interior to investigate the firepower deployment. It was such a rare and exciting thing.

This commander and fighter who had fought in war exercises for many years was moved.

Immediately, Zhizhi said righteously: "That won't work. Although I look down on your behavior, I have agreed to come over to the 704th Division to see the current development, so I can't be lazy."

"I will go with you."

"De Xing." Chen Ming glanced at him and said nothing more. The two of them waited outside.

Guo Canhui opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. It was true that he had a high position and had higher qualifications than Chen Ming, which was true.

But the two of them are not superiors and subordinates, so there is no need to be so serious. They can talk about whatever they want. This time, he is here to steal the teacher.

I wanted to see how Chen Ming fought, but I didn't expect that the first lesson was to go deep into the heart of the Red Army. Who in the hell could do this to a normal person?

The second-in-command of the Blue Army suddenly transformed into a member of the third-party director department?

Forget about the investigation, let the Red Army wait carefully. After all, coming from afar, even if you know that the director and the Blue Army are wearing the same pants, so what?

The reception should be received.

For safety reasons, Guo Canhui knew that Chen Ming transformed into a member of the director's department to investigate. After leaving, the Red Army would inevitably change its deployment, just in case.

But, can you guard against it?

This is a conspiracy.

The two of them waited for about forty minutes, and Lao Guo had smoked five or six cigarettes. The vehicle from the fire station in the distance finally arrived.

Squad Leader Lao Xiong drove over with Wang Shuaibing and the bald Shen Zufei running over quickly.

When they met, they did nothing. They just saluted and shouted excitedly: "Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Okay, okay, why are you so polite when you three come over? Did you bring your things?"

Chen Ming smiled and shook his head.

Wang Shuaibing took out a pocket of collar badges from the back seat, raised his hand and said: "Brother Chen, this time the combat director will not wear armbands, but collar badges."

"We have as many as we need. This is the fire department's vehicle. It's no problem for any kind of reconnaissance. We, squad leader Lao Xiong, are a team of battlefield pickets in our own right."

"That's easier."

Chen Ming took the collar badge unceremoniously, without even taking off the military rank, and just buckled it up.

A smile appeared on his lips.

Zhao Shengkui, Chief of Staff Zhao, give it a try.

Both were born in Longya and looked forward to a fight.
