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

Chapter 392: All-out war, wonderful encounter

Boom boom boom.

The Red Army artillery position consists of infantry mortars, main battle tanks, processes, and long-range guns.

The battle formation was stretched horizontally for nearly two kilometers, aiming at Niubei Mountain and attacking desperately.

The muzzle of the gun was bright, and from a distance, the shells were like coals of fire being thrown into the mountains.

The ground was shaking, and the soldiers of the third regiment of the Blue Army huddled tightly in the mountain tunnel. They were stunned by the shock while cursing the Red Army's injustice.

"Damn it, the Red Army is too ruthless. What's the point of only attacking but not attacking? Are they equipped with too many artillery shells?"

"Who knows? There was no order from above. They just said to stick to Niubei Mountain. The company commander was blown away."

Puff puff.

There was another tremor in the tunnel, and dust from the top fell, causing a group of Blue Army soldiers to curse.

On the other hand, on the Red Army side, everyone was full of energy and extremely positive.

Ammunition supplies from the rear were continuously delivered to the position. They bet that the blue army did not dare to confront them head-on, and the speed of carrying artillery shells was much faster than usual.

Red Army Chief of Staff Zhao Shengkui stared blazingly into the sky, where two squadrons of Blue Army helicopters were stationed at a distance to contain their firepower.

But these actions are useless.

At most, it would reduce the pressure on Niubei Mountain, and they would not dare to enter their own artillery array.

"Well, the offensive of the Blue Army's aviation squadron has slowed down. It seems that Old Xu should take action." Zhao Shengkui sensitively passed through the sound of gunfire and realized that the containment of the helicopter group in front seemed to be weakening.

"No, the blue army's diversionary firepower has retreated." Brigadier Peng Tianzheng said in surprise.

A mountain ridge in the Niubei Mountain area is good for blocking the advance of heavy armor, but it definitely cannot stop the fire bombardment of the heavy armor brigade.

The helicopter squadron retreats. In less than two hours, the Niubei Mountain garrison will be bombed out of combat effectiveness.

For a moment, the two of them were somewhat confused about the Blue Army's intentions.

They are still hesitating and guessing.

But the Blues' big move has already begun.

With the end of the brigade headquarters meeting, Chen Ming delayed the enemy and continued to arrange the enemy's exhaustion tactics.

The tractor vehicles of each regiment were dispatched in unison. The empty vehicles gathered three kilometers south of Niubei Mountain and were lined up. The rear of the vehicles was across the mountains and aimed at the Red Army artillery array.

The first regiment, the second regiment, and the third regiment were combined, and the brigade was directly affiliated with the artillery battalion. In the vehicle and artillery fields of these units, countless soldiers tied chains to the tops of the 155 howitzers.

Three squadrons were dispatched from the Army Aviation Battalion, and helicopters hoisted howitzer trucks quickly rushed to the battlefield.

After being placed behind the heavy-duty tractor, the Blue Army soldiers who had been waiting for a long time quickly stepped forward, loaded their bombs, and adjusted their coordinates.

At the same time, all combat units of the 169th Brigade of the Blue Army were dispatched in order and formed into a regiment. Under the command of Du Longfei, the entire regiment put aside their heavy artillery, went into battle lightly, and headed straight to the east side of Niubei Mountain.

The Second Combined Regiment also went into battle lightly, aiming directly at the west side of the mountain.

There is a heavy armored battalion of the Red Army stationed on each side of the east and west sides.

No matter how strong the firepower of the heavy-armed battalion is, if the blue army combined group attacks, even if it is restrained by light armor, it will definitely lead to a decisive battle.

But the soldiers of the Blue Army have already received death orders from above.

This attack is only about encirclement but not pursuit, only attack but not attack.

The main purpose is a containment, opening two holes for the special operations battalion to allow all-terrain vehicles to enter the rear of the Red Army.

Chen Ming's concerns were not unreasonable. The main forces of red and blue were blocked by Niubei Mountain, and the two sides faced off at Wangling.

Even if the first and second regiments can repel the Red Army's heavy-armed combined battalion, how dare they pursue them?

On the other side of the mountain is the main force of the Red Army. It is spread two kilometers horizontally and can quickly turn its artillery to support.

Compared with hard power, the Red Army is a tough man and is best at fighting with intensity. Using one's own shortcomings to exploit the enemy's strengths is not what a commander should do.

The Blue Army finally made a move, and the move was really not small. Countless chariots and crowds set off from the station and formed a torrent of steel.

Heading straight to Niubei Mountain, how could such a big movement be hidden from the Red Army scouts.

Behind the artillery array.

Peng Tianzheng, the Red Army brigade commander who had received the report, had a flash of doubt in his eyes. He looked at the chief of staff next to him and said strangely: "This is not Lao Xu's style."

"The old boy is called Lao Zhuge when he fights. It doesn't mean that he is powerful, but it means that he fights steadily and never fights unprepared."

"Did you change your gender this time?"

"It's hard to say. Lao Xu is cautious and fights hard. I guess he still doesn't have the intention and is just bluffing."

Chief of Staff Zhao Shengshui was also a little puzzled.

According to their old comrades, the current brigade commander of the 169th Brigade of the Blue Army, Xu Wenqian, is not an impatient person. Now the Blue Army still has a natural moat, and Niubei Mountain is still blocking it.

According to normal thinking, the opponent will use this natural chasm to consume the main force of the Red Army as much as possible to prepare for the subsequent decisive battle.

So everyone is mobilized?

"Something's wrong, let's go back to the headquarters." Peng Tianzheng's tone was very decisive and left no room for doubt.

The two of them ignored the battle and prepared to study the Red Army's combat ideas.

If you just hold them back, there is absolutely no need for a decisive battle.

With all the troops mobilized, can we set up a battle formation on both sides of this narrow Niubei Mountain? If it weren't for a decisive battle, it would be a bit unnecessary.

In my impression, Xu Wenqian would not make such a false move.

The Red Army's artillery batteries were still bombarding.

The Blue Army's troops are gathering, ready for a decisive battle on the verge of breaking out.

This lineup really frightened the two main commanders of the Red Army.

"Report to Chief of Staff Chen that the 3rd Synthetic Regiment ahead is ready. The 1st and 2nd Synthetic Regiments have arrived at the designated position. The UAV brigade, Army aviation battalion, artillery battalion, and air defense battalion to cooperate with the attack are all in place."

In the combat command room of the 169th Brigade of the Blue Army, Xiong Jiuchang, as the new clerk of the staff department, took over the reporting responsibilities.

The sturdy body shape and powerful voice can give people a sense of victory before fighting.

"Instruction, all combat units, aim their muzzles at the Red Army. The first round of charges will be triggered by a quick-fire fuse. Give me ten-minute rounds of rapid fire, then let go."

"Remember, no matter what actions the enemy makes, they will only attack. Their position will not move even half a step, and they will never retreat. Tell me the Red Army's next intention."

"Tear open the openings on the east and west sides of Niubei Mountain and send the special operations battalion over to contain the rear while the forwards speed up the fire attack."

"No unit is allowed to make any arbitrary decisions without issuing new instructions."

"Yes."

Chen Ming decisively gave the order to attack.

The battle order from the headquarters was sent to the front, and the Blue Army started.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Boom boom boom.

Because it was dark, the tanks on the ground were prone to problems with the coordination between man and vehicle. After the positions were set up, they aimed at the direction of the Red Army and started shelling. The land was not lively.

But the battlefield in the sky was quite gorgeous. Vehicle-mounted drones and helicopters flew across the sky and headed towards the hinterland of the Red Army.

The rear electronic warfare brigade began to interfere with the Red Army command and air defense systems.

If you want to say who is tougher, the Blues may have a slight advantage.

But when it comes to who spends the most work, it must be the Blue Army. They have complete combat units and do not need to rely on military-level deployment of firepower. They have it themselves.

The aviation corps and long-range rocket launchers can be pulled over if they are told to come over.

The rich man is outrageous.

In the Blue Army combat command room, brigade commander Xu Wenqian stood aside and did not make any comments.

He was transferred to the brigade as the commander-in-chief because there was really no one in the 169th Brigade. Now that Chen Ming was here, he was interested in seeing how he would command this battle.

Now that the Blue Army has changed command, only the regiment commander and battalion commander above know about it, and the soldiers of the Red Army and Blue Army do not know.

According to Lao Xu's character, he would not fight like this. Even if he drags down the enemy, he must first catch two "tongues" and touch two hidden sentries of the Red Army to understand the situation.

The attack will be carried out steadily, not like Chen Ming, who would mobilize firepower and attack with the whole army.

This kind of combat method is crazy and may make the Red Army commander not used to it.

Xu Wenqian touched his chin and walked around alone. He couldn't help laughing when he saw Chen Ming studying the blue army's combat map after giving the order.

To be honest, many commanders and fighters in the military have problems left over from the past.

Let's take him for example.

As a veteran commander, his thinking is limited to the tactical level because he has experienced the stage of scripted combat for a long time.

The troops were not wealthy at that time, and even though they have ample ammunition now, it is still difficult to change their unique thinking.

But Chen Ming is different. He is an officer of the new era. He has never experienced an era when firepower was insufficient and the overall national strength was relatively weak.

The tactics of interspersed and steady attacks do not exist for him. Fire coverage is the true meaning.

In a feint attack to drag the enemy back, the firepower of the entire brigade can be used, almost all of it is dispatched.

This arrangement can easily confuse the enemy's judgment because the Red Army does not have such a young commander.

Sometimes it's not really how clever Chen Ming's tactical arrangements are, it just reflects the generation gap brought about by the times.

But it's useful.

Chen Ming didn't know what Xu Brigade was thinking. His eyes were still staring at the latest distribution map of the Blue Army's combat troops, and the restless light in his eyes flickered again.

Touching his pocket, he saw the director's collar badge that had been taken off, and his inner thoughts became stronger and stronger. "Monitor Lao Xiong."

"arrive."

"Is the fire department's vehicle still downstairs?" Chen Ming asked with a smile. Looking at it like that, he still couldn't hold it back.

"Still here, Chief of Staff, what are you doing?" Xiong Jiuchang was in a daze, and even the brigade commander Xu Wenqian's heart skipped a beat.

"Chen Ming, you don't want to go to the battlefield, do you?"

"I'm afraid this won't work. As the commander of the Blue Army, you must sit in command. War is not a child's play. As a commander, you must have your own responsibilities and responsibilities."

"Brigadier, I know what you are saying." Chen Ming smiled, "It's just that our Blue Army currently focuses on actual combat training. If we keep waiting here for news, we won't be able to see the situation of our own troops."

"What's more, my current position has not been made public, and operations cannot be restricted in any form."

"I'm just going to get a closer look to estimate the Red Army's next battle plan. I won't be involved in any danger."

Chen Ming said it very seriously, and Xu Wenqian also knew this truth.

He is not afraid that the other party will conduct reconnaissance. During a war, no matter how high the commander is, he will sometimes visit the battlefield in person.

Without these, how can we command the troops to fight? Just rely on reports and requests from people below?

Fighting a war based on reports is nothing more than talking on paper.

Xu Wenqian was worried that Chen Ming would lose his temper and go out with the director's collar badge to cause trouble in other people's Red Army territory.

It's not like he can't do this kind of thing.

"Okay, you can do reconnaissance, but you can't participate in the battle. There are many eyes on you right now. In this battle, you not only have to command and win, but you also have to win beautifully."

"You can't mix it with other methods. You can use tricks, but you can't speculate, you know?"

"Yes, Brigadier!!"

"Lao Guo, are you going?" Chen Ming received the brigade commander's approval and loudly greeted Guo Canhui, who was immersed in the command room reading reports from various ministries.

This old guy is really a qualified spectator. He didn't talk nonsense during the whole process, he just stared and stared.

I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

Chen Ming asked Lao Guo to go with him, not really to take care of him, because Xu Brigade said just now that in this battle, you can use tricks, but you can't speculate.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Before reporting to the division headquarters, there was nothing to say about investigating as a firepower department. At that time, Chen Ming was the person in charge of the firepower department.

But now new orders have been issued.

As the new commander of the Blue Army, he must no longer be able to investigate as a director.

Including Xiong Jiuchang, the same cannot be done. That is a violation.

But Lao Guo can do it.

This guy is not in the Blue Army, so it doesn't matter if he wears a collar badge. With the title of colonel, even if he encounters a Red Army detachment, there will be no problem.

"Go, let's go. I'm going to see the battle between the red and blue sides. Even if you don't invite me, I'm going to see it."

Guo Canhui was very cooperative. After greeting Xu Wenqian, the three of them set off again in secret.

But this time is different. Chen Ming and Lao Xiong cannot lead Zhang, and they also have to wear laser simulators and carry guns out.

In other words, once they encounter the Red Army, the other party has the right to shoot and kill two people.

Going around for a while is not really cheating, because war itself is not limited to any method.

If you have the ability to act as a young girl and appear on the battlefield, there will be no problem.

The premise is that it doesn't disgust the Red Army soldiers.

Chen Ming took off his armband and put on his training uniform. Lao Xiong, still dressed as a third-term sergeant, drove the two of them away from the brigade headquarters.

On the road.

Guo Canhui stared at Chen Ming again and again, and said with a helpless expression: "Boy Chen, I remember when you just said you were coming over, you repeatedly told me to take off my epaulettes when I came."

"I don't want to be given special care by the Red Army squad. Now that I'm here, you picked it up pretty quickly. I still have to take it with me."

"Are you using me as a spearman?"

"Don't have any emotional worries, we are going to investigate." Old God Chen Ming said calmly.

He didn't even accept Lao Guo's complaints and came over to watch. You should shine some light and heat, right?

The 169th Brigade Headquarters is still twenty kilometers away from the main battlefield.

Along the way, military vehicles kept driving, and fires shot into the sky in the distance. The battle was very fierce.

The ten-minute turn of rapid fire instructions has been completed, and the red team was also stunned.

It's not that they didn't know about the Blue Army's dispatch, but they didn't expect the Blue Army to be so determined this time.

Especially in the direction of Niubei Mountain, the situation of being passively beaten was completely reversed.

After experiencing a round of extremely rapid fire.

The Blue Army soldiers in the mountain tunnel, their faces red from holding back, came to the anti-slope artillery position, operated the artillery truck, aimed at the Red Army artillery array, and counterattacked.

The two sides were so excited that it was really exciting.

At the same time, the two commanders of the Red Army headquarters were also a little undecided.

With the Blue Army making such a big move, are they defining Niubei Mountain as the final battlefield and using the mountain chasm to fight a decisive battle or what?

The strategic focus is different, and the layout is naturally different.

If you don't understand the blue army's intentions, the battle will inevitably be very passive. There is no main direction of attack, and it will be uncomfortable to fight passively.

Peng Tianzheng, commander of the 5th Synthetic Brigade, listened to the report from the front line with dim eyes, feeling a little confused.

"Old Zhao, do you think Lao Xu of the Blue Army took the wrong medicine or changed his gender? With his character, would he be able to mobilize all the troops for a decisive battle so quickly?"

"That's not right. As far as I know, there should be more than one leader of the Blue Army, Lao Xu."

“It’s important to understand what the Blues’ intentions are.”

The Red Army Chief of Staff Zhao Shengkui, who was thinking about it next to him, nodded and agreed with the brigade commander's statement.

"Yes, I don't think this is Lao Xu's strategy. Arrange a reconnaissance battalion to catch the Blue Army's tongue and ask who else besides Lao Xu will be the commander of the Blue Army this time."

"I always feel that something is wrong with this arrangement. Lao Xu doesn't have the courage."

"Okay, you go make arrangements." Peng Tianzheng said.

"it is good."

Chief of Staff Zhao Shengkui walked out of the command tent. He really wasn't willing to run errands. Now the Red Army's technical reconnaissance skills are not as good as the Blue Army's and they are completely suppressed.

Their general-purpose radio started playing local folk songs from Fuzhou five minutes ago. After such a long time, the songs have been looped for the second time.

The technical reconnaissance personnel of the Red Army have not deciphered it yet. Public command radios cannot be used at all, and they dare not use them even if they can.

All were replaced by the simplest method - the messenger.

"Xiao Gao."

"arrive."

"Go, contact the forward reconnaissance camp over the radio, disguise yourself from the east side of Niubei Mountain, catch a few Blue Army tongues, and ask them who is the commander of the Blue Army and what is the next order."

"Yes!!"

It is not that no prisoners have been taken during military exercises and operations over the years. In fact, no matter how advanced the technology is, many old methods have been inherited.

Especially when a large-scale war breaks out, the scouts on both sides are not hiding behind to rest.

There are endless ways to capture prisoners, spy on secret posts, and infiltrate under disguise.

It's just that the Red Army is easily caught during the exercise. This is true because the Blue Army is the host and is too familiar with the terrain.

Many times, the Red Army scouts could not see the Blue Army people at all. When they saw them, they would either meet the large troops head-on, or they would look up and have more than a dozen guns pointed at their heads.

This time the Red Army has no choice. If they want to understand the Blue Army's intentions as soon as possible, they must catch one or two tongues and use the stupidest way to understand.

But Chief of Staff Zhao Shengkui also knew that this was difficult and there was no way around it.

After all, being caught on one's own turf would be a great shame and humiliation.

As the order was issued, a group of Red Army scouts also began to sneak out from the east of Niubei Mountain, bypassing the battlefield, preparing to go deep behind enemy lines to catch the unlucky guy.

the other side.

The trio of Chen Ming, Lao Xiong, and Lao Guo are also about to arrive at the main combat area.

"Chief of Staff, we are going to Niubei Mountain soon. There are no eyes for the cannonballs there. We all have simulators on us, so why don't we go?"

"Well, instead of going to Niubei Mountain, the firepower there is enough to contain them. We will go around from the east, away from the battlefield, and check the situation first."

"okay."

In the midst of the raging war, a car and a group of people were moving rapidly in opposite directions.

Judging from their trajectory, a wonderful encounter is inevitable.
