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

Chapter 387: In the reverse bevel layout, why should there be a raw melon egg?

Wait for the fire department to arrive.

Chen Ming did not immediately follow squad leader Lao Xiong and others and ran to the Red Army's position to conduct firepower deployment and reconnaissance.

The more modern the war, the more important the war games are. There is no script for the red-blue confrontation in Niutoushan, and there is no specific deduction before the war.

But Chen Ming at least needs to understand the battle situation in front of him. He can't just rush into the hinterland of the Red Army to investigate.

Wearing exclusive collar badges, Xiong Jiuchang led several people to an open area, away from the blockade team at the edge.

No matter how you say it, pretending to be the director's department to investigate, it is not an aboveboard tactical arrangement. The fewer people know about it, the better.

Old Xiong took out a map from the back seat of the car, spread it out on the ground, pointed to a ridge, and said: "Chen Chu, the Red Army completed crossing the river last night and is heading towards the Blue Army's station."

"If the prediction is correct, the next step across the river is Niubei Mountain."

"This is another tough nut to crack."

"The Blue Army used reverse slope tactics on Niubei Mountain. This strategic hilltop has been dug out by the Blue Army with countless passages. Artillery positions were set up on the back to block the Red Army's assault on the front."

"I don't know the specific layout, but I know that the next tough battle is for the Red Army to attack the Blue Army's Niubei Mountain. If they can get over it, the Blue Army will be in danger. If they can't get over it, the Red Army will be dragged to death here."

Anti-slope tactics. Chen Ming was silent as he listened to squad leader Lao Xiong’s story. In fact, these were the attacks against the heavily armed troops of the 86th Brigade two years ago.

Preparing for war in advance, hundreds of people overwhelmed Niubei Mountain. Not only here, it is also a super training ground and a key battlefield that may break out in the future.

A lot of the ground under Niutoushan has been dug out to prevent nuclear weapons and heavy firepower. The responsibility of this area is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

It's a pity that squad leader Lao Xiong of the Firepower Department has a low position and cannot understand the specific arrangements of the Blue Army, which is not conducive to analysis.

Guo Canhui stood nearby and heard the anti-slope tactics. Like Chen Ming, he was speechless.

It seems that they are pondering the feasibility of this tactic under modern warfare conditions.

This tactic was quite famous in the past, and was used in Shangganling. It was to set our army's artillery position on the hillside facing away from the enemy and facing our army.

The enemy's fire bombing can only hit the front, and it is difficult for the artillery fire to reach the back. Even if it can fall on the back, it will lose its accuracy and bomb towards the foot of the mountain.

Once the enemy bombs, they immediately pass through the mountain passage and run to the back to hide. When the bombing is over and the enemy attacks, they return to the front through the tunnel. With the help of small machine gun muzzles, strong firepower suppresses the enemy infantry charge.

This tactic is usually used when the enemy's firepower is much stronger than ours.

Nowadays, with precision fire guidance and air threats, similar tactics are basically rare.

Of course, being rare does not mean being eliminated. There is no high or low tactics. To put it bluntly, only the commander can adapt and adapt to local conditions.

Since Lao Xiong didn't understand the Blues' arrangement, Chen Ming and Guo Canhui were each thinking about how they would use Niubei Mountain to maximize the effect of the reverse slope tactics if they were to lead the Blues.

While the two were silent, Wang Shuaibing walked around the map twice, scratched his head, and asked in confusion: "Can the anti-slope tactic still be used now?"

"It won't be outdated, right? What era are these tactics from?"

"Can this thing stop the Red Army's heavy artillery attack?"

Hearing this, Guo Canhui raised his head and glanced at him without saying a word. Don't look at this old man who seemed unserious when communicating with Chen Ming.

That's because Chen Ming is very capable and has a similar level to him, so he doesn't need to put on airs.

But when it comes to other people, he is so upright that he doesn't even bother to refute.

Chen Ming was not the case. Lao Wang was eager to learn, which was a good thing. He immediately said: "You can't say that. The tactics used in fighting are not outdated. Let's see if they can be improved."

"Until now, the first lesson in command courses at military schools is about the Falklands. It is a relative term. Commanders who dare to put up such a battle formation have learned certain rules from it."

"There are no eliminated tactics, only suitable or effective tactics. Don't you remember that when I first went to the fire department, I often read books about the Warring States Period? According to you, that was already outdated."

"What's more, Niubei Mountain is just one of the battlefields where the Blue Army prevents the Red Army from quickly crossing the line. It cannot be said to be insignificant, but it will definitely not be able to sustain the main battlefield."

"That's right." As Chen Ming spoke, Guo Canhui also spoke.

Lao Xiong's position as squad leader is not high and he knows too little about the arrangements above. But what are the identities of Chen Ming and Lao Guo?

Just by listening to what he said, one could roughly guess the Blue Army's intention. This was to extend the front line horizontally, and Niubei Mountain was just one of the battle zones.

Of course, it is quite difficult right now.

"Today's anti-slope tactics are still useful. Although today's missiles are highly accurate and directional, they must be given coordinates to complete the launch."

"As the Blue Army is the imaginary enemy, the director will restrict the Red Army's satellite positioning and aerial reconnaissance, because on a real battlefield, in a confrontation between major powers, you will not be allowed to use satellites at will."

"I won't let you have air control casually. Even if you have it, camouflage under modern technological conditions is not a vegetarian."

"The brutality of the war will eventually force us to retreat for more than ten years. We are simulating the cruelest battlefield. The Blue Army is the cruelest enemy. If we want to conduct reconnaissance, we can only run to the top of Niubei Mountain manually."

"So I think that in this battle, the Blue Army may have made a miscalculation if they thought it would be as easy as crossing the river."

Guo Canhui expressed his opinion.

"By the way, I forgot to ask, what kind of tactics did the Red Army use to cross the river last night? How did they break through the Blue Army's blockade so quickly?" Chen Ming turned to look at Lao Xiong and the others.

According to the setting of the director, Niutou Lake was expanded into the Yangtze River.

The Dadu River of such a scale has the Blue Army eyeing it on the other side. Is it not that easy for the Red Army to cross?

"I'm not very clear about this either." Faced with Chen Ming's question, Monitor Lao Xiong naively scratched his head, expressing his ignorance.

As for Wang Shuaibing and Bald Zi, let alone that, they don't even know.

According to them, Chen Ming has not been in the fire department these days, and the entire fire department has been directly assigned to the division headquarters.

The work of each department follows the unified arrangements of the division headquarters. There is no new division chief to report, but they are responsible for the clerical work of the division headquarters staff department.

Because of the war deployment, they are not needed. The entire fire department is informed by the internal staff department. Unfortunately, those people are now working in the director's hall of the division headquarters.

There was no way to call them over. Lao Xiong and the others were not members of the staff of the Firepower Department, so they didn't know much.

"But I heard that the Red Army was quite ruthless. In such a cold weather, many people waded bare-legged outside the Niutou Lake. Maybe they swam across. Anyway, when they were crossing the river, the Blue Army launched an artillery bombardment. There were already Red Army here. The troops launched a fire blockade."

"The armor-piercing rocket launcher disrupted the Blue Army's artillery vehicles and hit them hard." Wang Shuaibing took the opportunity to tell the gossip he had learned.

Their position was a little far away from the battle zone, and belonged to the rear where the large Red Army troops had already passed.

At this time, there is no clear information and there is no way to judge.

Chen Ming listened for a long time and finally shook his head. It didn't matter whether it was the Blue Army's reverse slope or the Red Army's bare-legged crossing of the river.

It is difficult to analyze more information from it.

"Lao Guo, what do you think?" Chen Ming looked up at Guo Canhui,

"I can't look, and I don't have much to look at. It's probably useless, so I might as well go investigate."

"There is too little information, and there is no way to learn much."

Chen Ming admitted that it was useless for them to talk too much here. The original plan was to go to the hinterland of the Red Army and hide it with the help of the director's identity after getting a little familiar with the situation of the Red Army's confrontation.

Go and see it openly.

Chen Ming dared to arrange it like this, and he was really not out of his mind.

The Red Army this time came from the 71st Army. He was somewhat famous in the 71st Army, right?

Many units pay attention to the 704th Division, who is coming out of the st Division, and at the same time, they will more or less know him as the person in charge of the firepower department.

The competition started suddenly and ended quickly. During this time, many people may not have received the news.

You only get one chance.

As long as he participates in the command this time, the next time the Red Army comes over, they will not be able to use the same investigation method.

"Squad leader Xiong, take us to the nearby Red Army unit for a walk first."

"Don't go straight to the Red Army's heavy artillery area. Wander around this area more and try to make as much noise as possible so that most of the Red Army's combat units know that the Director's Department pickets are around."

"Understood?" Chen Ming asked with a smile.

Of course, Monitor Lao Xiong patted his chest honestly and said it was no problem.

Baldy and Wang Shuaibing were only excited and had nothing to say.

If it was a normal patrol, it would be meaningless. At most, it would be to see if the Red Army soldiers had violated any rules, or to see if any nearby villagers had strayed into the combat zone.

But this time it was an open investigation. If the investigation is over and Chen Ming reports back to the division headquarters tonight and takes over the command of the Blue Army, the Red Army will soon face a targeted attack.

People don't dare to talk about annihilation. After all, it is a heavy armored brigade, but it will definitely disrupt all their arrangements by surprise.

Let the Blues take advantage.

Only Guo Canhui glanced at Chen Ming. Although he also advocated going over to investigate, he still felt that Chen Ming was no longer a thing.

Just do the reconnaissance. If you don't go straight to the Red Army's main combat area, you have to wander around a few times.

Yes, this is also done to avoid alerting the Red Army. But when the two armies go to war, you, the commander, will check out their firepower, location, and deployment.

It's somewhat immoral.

The Red Army garrison area north of Niubei Mountain.

We are currently in a truce between the red and blue sides. This has nothing to do with the agreement, but the fierce battle between the two armies last night, coupled with the brave advancement of the Red Army during the day.

The soldiers were exhausted, and the same was true for the Blue Army. The major battles had stopped in the afternoon, and only some battles in sporadic areas continued.

The grassland six kilometers north of Niubei Mountain is covered with air defense battalion equipment, facing high in the sky, ready for battle.

Looking around, the chariot group is like a green steel forest, extending for thousands of meters.

Anti-jamming aircraft were dropped at high altitudes, ground radar vehicles were operating at high speed, and military green tents were everywhere around the tanks.

The main battle tanks, 120 self-propelled mortars, 155 howitzers, 122 rocket launchers in the artillery battalion, anti-tank guided missile vehicles and anti-aircraft guns in the anti-aircraft battalion of the Red Army are all here for free.

There must be one within ten or dozens of meters.

If you can look down from a high altitude, the posture of these chariots gathered together is like a maze, criss-crossing, chaotic but orderly, forming a real king of land.

Although they were resting, the Red Army position was still prepared to prevent sneak attacks.

The two Red Army soldiers on guard duty at the outermost perimeter were watching the surroundings with vigilance. They had been staring at nothing for more than an hour. One of the privates was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyelids.

Covering his mouth and yawning, he looked at the veteran next to him and said, "Squad leader, do you think those bastards from the Blue Army will make a sneak attack tonight and suddenly come over to attack us?"

"That group of Niutou soldiers said that none of us could cross Niubei Mountain. Their bullish bragging was so loud that it was the same as Niutou Lake at that time. Didn't we still fight over it?"

"Say less, keep an eye on me, and don't let the Blue Army touch you."

The other companion was a veteran with two walking sticks, and his behavior was much more mature.

He reminded the recruits to be alert from time to time. In fact, he kept doing so, staring at the surroundings.

"Squad leader, don't be so nervous. We are so close to the artillery group, and the blue army's gang of bastards won't dare to touch here even if they attack."

"I just don't know if we will attack Niubei Mountain tonight. I heard from the company commander that the Blue Army is a thief. What anti-slope tactics they have set up are all outdated."

"Squad leader, if I can rush to the top of Niubei Mountain first, will you give me a third-class merit?"

"Hey!"

The veteran looked at the hopeful eyes of the new recruits and shook his head helplessly. Most of the soldiers who had just joined the army were like this. When they went to the training battlefield for the first time, they always thought that they were the chosen ones.

Being able to achieve unparalleled feats easily, imagine one person killing the enemy to the point of throwing away their armor.

But fighting is never that easy, especially at the home ground of the Blues.

The 5th Synthetic Brigade currently seems to have complete heavy firepower and is full of arrogance, but the truly difficult battle is already here.

As veterans, we know very well that their opponent is the 704th Division, and the equipment of the division-level combat units is not comparable to that of the brigade-level.

The 704th Division has its own aviation regiment, with long-range rocket launcher battalions and long-range suppression artillery formations.

There is no such thing as a combined 5th brigade. The aviation force is only deployed at the group army level. The reason is that there are not enough helicopters of various types and they need to be deployed uniformly.

Including artillery, they were combined into 5 brigades, with 120 self-propelled mortars at the battalion level and 155 howitzers and rocket launchers under the brigade.

But the corresponding army-level firepower configuration of the 704th Division was not to mention that they were also part of the 704st Army. He knew that in the earliest Tiger Wolf Battalion of the th Division, each battalion-level firepower was allocated a portion of the brigade-level firepower.

Even later, long-range rocket launcher platoons, decapitation artillery platoons, etc. were added. This guy is equipped with military-level equipment.

Although the number is not large, it is enough to show that it is not that easy for the Red Army to overwhelm the Blue Army with a strong frontal attitude.

What's more, Niubei Mountain blocked the road, and the 5th Brigade acted alone. Without military-level fire support, they didn't even have a few helicopters.

It's not that easy to climb to the top of Niubei Mountain and win third-class merit. Veterans don't dare to have such extravagant hopes.

"Go on patrol and don't think too much. You will definitely have a chance to achieve third-class merit, but not now. Work hard."

The veterans did not want to undermine the recruits' lofty ideals, so they had no choice but to persuade them in this way.

"No, a car is coming, prepare to fight."

The recruits were so sleepy that they didn't think about it when they saw a car running towards them. A sudden scream made the veterans almost stand up in fear.

He stared, the bullet clicked into the chamber, "Which direction?"

"Then, squad leader, over there." The recruit pointed to the vehicle in the distance. The location where the other party came was indeed the Blue Army area.

But since it was already a little dark at this time and the distance was too far, he was not sure.

If it was the Blues, would they drive over so blatantly?

Don't you dare? ! !

The veteran was not sure, so he picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Wolf's Lair, this is Hunting Area No. 6, and a suspicious vehicle was found passing through the enemy's area."

"We are ready to shoot."

When the veteran said he was ready to shoot, the recruit next to him was unequivocal. He raised his rifle and aimed at the vehicle in the distance.

"I received it from Wolf's Den. It's the director's car. It has been patrolled in other places. Don't intercept it or attack it. Just greet it first and I'll send someone over immediately."

"I repeat, don't intercept the director's car. Just ask politely and delay. I'll arrange for someone to go there now."

"Received from Hunting Area No. 6."

After receiving the order, the veteran straightened his back a lot. With the order from above, he didn't have to worry anymore.

Director's department, hey! ! The veteran quickly packed up his military uniform to make himself look extra energetic and decent.

After all, it represents the reception of the entire Red Army brigade, and the momentum cannot be weakened.

When he finished packing, he saw that the recruit next to him was still aiming his gun, as if he was ready to shoot, so he reached out and slapped him on the back of the head.

"Put down the gun. There is an order above. This is the director's department. Let us greet you. Someone will come back later to take charge of the reception."

"Pack your clothes and don't embarrass our 5th Brigade."

"Huh? Director's department?" The recruit put down his gun in confusion, a little unconvinced.

"Squad leader, didn't you say that the director and the Blue Army wear the same pants? What are they doing here?"

"Humph, it's definitely not a good thing, but we have to welcome it. The logistical supplies, as well as the fellow villagers selling goods around, and the people we need to maintain our lives are all people from the Soldier Service Center arranged by the director."

"Maybe we came here just to take a look. Anyway, the two of us just have to do our duty as soldiers."

After the two sentries discussed it, they quickly walked towards the vehicle.

A total of two cars came, one behind the other. The driver seemed to see the sentry, and the car in the front stopped with a "squeak".

Pushing open the car door, a third-term non-commissioned officer, who looked a bit stunned, got out of the car.

Before getting out of the car, he deliberately held the director's exclusive collar badge with his hand and got out of the car like an officer.

Originally, the two sentries of the Red Army raised their hands in salute and had planned to shout "Hello, Chief", but when they saw the person coming, they abruptly changed their tune.

"Hello, monitor!"

"Well, hello." The tiger-headed guy stood at attention and returned the greeting, his eyes scanning the surrounding artillery vehicles.

He asked casually: "Comrade, where is the person in charge here? Go and report it, and say that the director department is here."

"Forehead"

The two sentries looked at each other. This was different from the scene they had just imagined.

Aren’t all the directors in the director’s department high-ranking officials? Why did you send me a raw melon egg?
