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

Chapter 397: Brigadier, run away, this guy is really evil.

Most of the main force of the Red Army withdrew, leaving only one battalion, the second battalion and the reconnaissance battalion prepared to follow the instructions above.

From the east and west sides of Niubei Mountain, block the Blue Army's tidal attack and buy enough time for the rear to recuperate.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Red Army's strategy, and what they can do at the moment is very limited.

If this continues, the Red Army will not have to gather to attack, and the team itself will lose its combat effectiveness.

Think about it, there were two large-scale attacks in half a day, each time in a decisive battle posture. The sound of the artillery was so loud that people could hear it within a radius of ten kilometers.

It's easier to use than an emergency assembly post.

In this environment, can the Red Army soldiers get enough rest?

One or two times is fine, half a day and one day is fine, but what if it’s two days a day?

After being treated like this for two days, no matter how strong the Red Army was, they would not be able to bear it mentally.

After all, there are many blue soldiers, and they are in a decisive battle posture. They are divided into three shifts. There are 4,000 people in each shift. It's fun.

As a result, the main force of the Red Army retreated six kilometers, and the large troops moved away from Niubei Mountain.

The heavy armor brigade maneuvered slowly. They had just marched about three kilometers when another battle broke out from behind.

This time is not a tentative attack. The combined regiment and the combined third regiment stationed at Niubei Mountain received a death order from the brigade headquarters.

They avoided sporadic minefields placed at night on both sides of the mountains and attacked the firepower left by the Red Army. They would not give up until the main force of the Red Army was forced back.

Chen Ming's tactical arrangement is very simple. The Red Army wants to withdraw? Okay, either everyone evacuates, or everyone stays here.

If you are being beaten, you have to stand at attention. How can you run away half and leave half?

On the frontal battlefield.

Boom boom boom boom

buzzing

The main battle tanks of the Blue Army cleared the way, and formed a large formation of the Tiger and Wolf Battalion. They began to take the lead in the attack. Howitzers, self-propelled mortars, and infantry fighting vehicles roared and opened fire like ferocious beasts emerging from their cages.

A few kilometers away from the side of Niubei Mountain, it is still blocked by mountains, which also makes this mountain range a complete natural chasm.

The Blue Army troops had almost no formation to speak of. Everything had to be done before the Red Army blocked both sides of the mountain and crossed Niubei Mountain to fight them.

Once the Red Army blocks the east and west sides first, no matter how fierce the Blue Army's firepower is, it will still be blocked by the mountains and cannot threaten the main force of the Red Army's retreat.

On the battlefield, the Blue Army, which squeezed through the mountains and entered the open area, went completely crazy. The Tiger and Wolf Battalion firepower company led the way and rampaged through the enemy's positions.

The first battalion, second battalion, and four infantry companies of the 1st Regiment were combined to coordinate with the long-range rocket launcher platoon of the Tiger and Wolf Battalion to set up individual mortar positions on the spot.

dong dong dong.

One after another, the artillery shells rose into the air, drew beautiful arcs, and fell into the Red Army's position.

At the same time, two infantry companies of the Third Regiment stationed on Niubei Mountain crossed the mountain directly and set up individual mortar positions on one side.

On the west side of the mountain, the main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles of the Third Regiment swarmed out, and the tanks opened fire four or five kilometers away.

It's impossible to hit him at such a long distance, but he can't lose his momentum.

The shouts of killing were so loud that the Red Army was stunned.

"Damn it, are these idiots from the Blue Army serious this time?"

"Quick, quick, disperse the artillery group and let me fight against the Blue Army's bunch of rabbits."

"Beasts, bastards, why are the Blue Army so fast? We haven't blocked the passages on the east and west sides yet, why are they here?"

"What the hell are you howling for? Contact the brigade headquarters and report the situation here. The Blue Army is serious about it."

Because Chen Ming immediately analyzed the intention of the Red Army to retreat and leave three battalions behind, he was the first to issue an order to integrate the attack.

The speed of the Blue Army's actions indeed exceeded the Red Army's expectations.

They really didn't expect that the Blue Army was really going to fight this time. They thought they would fire a few shots and run away like the previous times.

Whoever thought it was, they changed their mind again.

"Report, the Blue Army has crossed Niubei Mountain across the entire line and is firing at us. The estimated strength is six battalions."

News reached the headquarters in the rear where the Red Army was retreating.

There was a crisp sound of "pop".

Peng Tianzheng, the brigade commander of the Red Army, slapped the command platform with his face ashen.

He had already thought about it when he retreated, leaving three battalions to block both sides of the mountain. The blue army had loud thunder and light rain, so they were not fully prepared.

As long as they were blocked, their side would have the upper hand, but they didn't expect the Blues to react so quickly.

The troops were mobilized even more quickly, and they were actually one step ahead of them in a short period of time.

The Red Army was supposed to block both sides and contain the combat troops on the mountains. They could advance, attack, retreat or defend.

As a result, it has become a matter of the Blues advancing, attacking, retreating or defending.

"Peng Brigade, we have to return to support and resist the Blue Army's attack."

The chief of staff next to him, Zhao Shengkui, suggested, and his face didn't look good either.

Could it be that the commander of the Blue Army has been watching their every move?

The order had just been given to retreat six kilometers, and our own people had not yet reacted, but the Blue Army responded very actively.

It also happened to cut off their arrangement.

"I know a little bit about this guy Chen Ming. He seems to be modest and does not fight for anything, but he is very decisive in his behavior and never hesitates to do something he is determined to do."

"This kind of person is a born commander." Zhao Shengkui had to sigh. In the past, Chen Ming had gone to the brigade to ask him questions many times.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, this kid has become more and more immoral. He is simply immoral 24 hours a day.

Of course, this is an inelegant statement. To be precise, it should be said that he did have good control over the battlefield situation and made a few moves on his side.

Chen Ming can use this to analyze and judge his own intentions, which is not good.

Just like now, do they dare not go back to support? Blue Army combat units can invest continuously, and it is possible to cripple three battalions in half an hour.

If you don't go back, the Red Army will directly lose half of its combat effectiveness.

If we go back, then this trip just now will be in vain.

This shit is even more infuriating than the Nine-turn Large Intestine.

"Peng Lu?"

"Back."

"Call to the third, fourth, and fifth battalions to return immediately to join the first battalion to resist the Blue Army's attack."

"The artillery battalion, station nearby, monitor the situation of the blue army's rear positions. Once you find the other party rushing for reinforcements, you don't need to wait, just fire directly, giving the front line at least an hour to react."

"quick!!"

"Yes."

After giving the order, Peng Tianzheng was so angry that he walked back and forth in the command car.

"Hai Hao Hao is really a formidable young man. He is much stronger than Lao Xu Ke. We can't remain passive like this. We must win Niubei Mountain at all costs tonight."

"If this continues, we don't need to fight. Even if his legs are broken, he won't be able to beat this kid from hiding behind and talking."

"Old Zhao."

"arrive."

"Go and make arrangements. If you want to fight this time, hold back the Blue Army and fight hard. At the same time, arrange for the comrades in the reconnaissance battalion to start retreating and touch Niubei Mountain tonight."

"You arrange it."

"Okay." Chief of Staff Zhao Shengkui nodded with a gloomy expression.

He also knew that he could not drag it out like this and must capture Niubei Mountain as soon as possible. In these two confrontations, it was obvious that the Blue Army's command response was faster.

He had been to Longya back then and learned the combat methods of some commandos. He also provided detailed training to the reconnaissance battalion by applying this combat thinking and judgment to the battle situation.

When we crossed the river a few days ago, it was the reconnaissance battalion who took the lead in crossing the river, leading the soldiers of the infantry company to hold off the blue army and buy time for the large forces behind.

Now that it is planned to capture Niubei Mountain, it is impossible for a large force to do so. The only way is for the reconnaissance battalion to disrupt the blue army's layout from the side and take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack.

If facing other enemies, Zhao Shengkui is really confident, but he can face Chen Ming.

He has no confidence.

Because Chen Ming also came from Longya, and this kid was much more majestic than him, and he was almost becoming Team Chen.

Does this method work?

"Report, the main retreating force of the Red Army has stopped advancing."

"Report, the main force of the Red Army has begun to return along the original route."

"Report, the artillery battalion of the Red Army has established an artillery position in the rear, with the muzzles facing our stationed area far away."

In the Blue Army headquarters, Chen Ming sat aside and listened to reports one after another, without any surprise in his expression.

The purpose of the arrangement he just made was to force the main force of the Red Army not to retreat.

On the main battlefield, it was difficult for the Blue Army to counter the heavy firepower of the Red Army head-on. They could only use delaying tactics, which finally worked. How could they be able to crack it so easily?

"Report to Comrade Chief of Staff to form a regiment. The headquarters of the third regiment will ask for next instructions and whether to continue the attack."

"Of course." Chen Ming smiled leisurely, stood up, walked to the electronic sand table, and stretched his waist. "Recover one regiment, three regiments, continue the attack, and the vanguard will press forward five hundred meters."

"Artillery battalion, army aviation battalion, drone brigade."

"arrive."

In the command room, three officers stood up.

"You cooperate with the front line and suppress the speed of the Red Army's return. However, you must remember that this time is not a head-on confrontation with them. It is not yet time."

"Fire rapidly for thirty minutes. After the attack, retreat immediately and get out of the way on both sides."

"If the Red Army wants to occupy it, let them occupy it. Don't fight with them."

"At the same time, contact the special operations battalion in the rear. Isn't the Red Army's artillery position separated from the main force? Ask them to attack the Red Army's main artillery position with all their strength in twenty minutes."

"We will only attack for ten minutes. When the time is up, we will make a full retreat. Don't get entangled with the Red Army."

"Go."

"Yes."

As Chen Ming issued the order, the Blue Army took action again.

The special operations battalion was responsible for containing the Red Army from behind last night. After retreating, it did not return to the Blue Army's base, but instead wandered around the rear.

They had all-terrain vehicles and were familiar with the terrain, so they could hide anywhere for several days. At this time, the Red Army's artillery station was separated from the main force and placed in the rear.

Once the special operations battalion is divided into different directions, contained and attacked, the main force of the Red Army in front can scare their souls even if they are frightened.

The special operations battalion is not a special force and does not have the ability to cause large-scale damage. The special operations battalion and heavy fire battalion of the 704th Division are equipped with individual rocket launchers that can penetrate armored vehicles.

It was so fierce.

The troops took action, but the air defense battalion still had no mission. Battalion Commander Xie Canxiong was helpless and sat in the command room in a daze.

There's no way around it. The heavy-equipped combined brigade itself doesn't have the aviation equipment. It's all deployed uniformly at the army level.

Tiger Wolf Camp has a helicopter squadron, which is a special situation.

Of course, general air defense arrangements did not require him, the battalion commander, to personally supervise them. He was quite leisurely in this battle.

"chief of staff."

"Yeah." Chen Ming looked at the electronic sand table and heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was Xie Canxiong and smiled: "What, are you anxious?"

"Don't worry yet. We won't let the Red Army's artillery positions show off their power this time. Just rest for now. There will be a chance later."

There is a chance for a hammer. Xie Canxiong scratched his head. According to the current style of play, by the time he has a chance, the Red Army may have been crippled long ago.

"Chief of Staff, I never understand why we are fighting back like this."

"With the help of a natural moat like Niubei Mountain that can block heavy firepower, we won't necessarily suffer a loss if we go head-to-head with the Red Army, right?"

"Well, not bad." Chen Ming put his hands behind his back and kept staring at the electronic sand table map, and said in a leisurely tone: "You also said that you may not necessarily suffer a loss."

"The red and blue combat exercises have obvious indicators, which are to train troops and practice, not necessarily to fight."

"It is to cultivate the pressure of war resistance on both sides and to cultivate the overall operational thinking of the commanders on both sides."

"Currently, in terms of combat effectiveness, our Blue Army is a wolf, a pack of wolves."

"And the Red Army is a tiger, a mighty tiger."

"When a pack of wolves fights a tiger, the best strategy is not to use the wolf's life to fill the gap, but to consume the tiger's physical strength in each fight, leaving more and more scars on the tiger's body, and eventually unable to fight again."

"Even if we have Niubei Mountain as our backing, we are not 100% sure that we can take advantage in a head-to-head confrontation."

"The role of the heavy armored brigade on the battlefield is to determine the outcome. This kind of statement is really not just rhetoric. It is not a wise choice to use other people's strengths to attack them head-on."

Xie Canxiong was in a daze for a while. It wasn't that he didn't understand, but he was surprised that the gap between himself and Chen Ming was so big now.

He understood the so-called pack of wolves fighting tigers, but the tiger was still a tiger after all, and the wolves had to be careful and cautious in their dealings.

Once the Tiger King seizes the opportunity and goes crazy, are the wolves really capable of fighting?

This question may have to be asked to the Wolf King.

Xie Canxiong had to admit that Chen Ming really had an evil streak in him.

In this way, step by step, he turned the Blue Army troops into an orderly pack of wolves, biting the tigers on the opposite side.

But now, the tiger seems to be a little overwhelmed.

"Then Chief of Staff, if the Red Army is dragged on like this, they have no hope of winning. Losing is only a matter of time."

Xie Canxiong thought he had captured the essence.

But as soon as he said these words, Chen Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "You still underestimate the heavy equipment brigade. It's not that easy to eat them."

"If you consume it bit by bit like this, you won't be able to see any effect within a few months."

"Do you know why you just ordered to fight for only half an hour? And also use the special operations battalion hidden in the rear to contain the Red Army's artillery positions?"

Chen Ming closed the electronic sand table chart and sat on a chair nearby and asked.

"I don't know." Xie Canxiong shook his head.

"That's because half an hour is a turning point. The Blue Army can take advantage, but it won't force the Red Army to desperately start a war."

Before Chen Ming could respond, Guo Canhui, who had always been silent on the side, spoke.

"If the attack continues and the rear artillery positions are attacked again, and both sides are ignored, the Red Army is likely to abandon the rear and assume a decisive battle posture to fight with your Blue Army because there is no way out."

"But Chen Ming arranged to fight for only half an hour. After that, the blue army retreated, leaving the red army to occupy the passages on both sides of Niubei Mountain."

"Such an arrangement is equivalent to dismantling the Red Army's desire for a decisive battle. After all, if the war really begins, who will lose and who will win."

"The commander of the Red Army also wants to win in the end. With this kind of thinking, he can only hold his nose and admit this big loss."

"Because the loss is not enough for them to make a desperate move."

"You boy, are you ruthless enough? You are taking every step, opening your pockets, waiting for the Red Army to jump in?"

Guo Canhui sighed. If it weren't for his rich experience in commanding operations, even he wouldn't be able to understand Chen Ming's idea of ​​prolonging the war this time.

I have to say that this is a genius who directs battles. He not only considers the enemy's condition, but also thinks about their retreat.

"Hey, that's not right, Old Chen, are you aware that the Red Army has other moves?"

Guo Canhui suddenly spoke.

The reason is very simple. After this battle, the Blue Army fully retreated, and the Red Army occupied the east and west sides of Niubei Mountain, so the attack every few hours would lose its effect.

Without mountains to block them, if the Blue Army makes a little move, the Red Army can attack from a long distance. Will the tactic of delaying the enemy still work?

"Haha, Lao Guo still understands me." Chen Ming said happily: "To drag the enemy is just to drag out the Red Army's flaws, not to play house with them."

"If the special operations battalion's attack goes smoothly and it is a surprise attack, it will definitely cause considerable losses to the main force of the Red Army."

"Coupled with the half-hour containment in front, our losses will not be small, and the Red Army will be even more uncomfortable. They currently have three battalions against our two regiments."

"After delaying to this extent and taking advantage, it's time to end the enemy's delaying tactics."

"Then what are your plans next?" Guo Canhui asked curiously.

Chen Ming smiled mysteriously and did not answer his question directly. Instead, he asked: "Lao Guo, if you are the Red Army and occupy the east and west sides of Niubei Mountain."

"It's like blocking the Blue Army's main channel, so who is the thorn in your side now?"

"A thorn in the flesh." Guo Canhui turned his eyes, pondered for a moment and then laughed in shock: "You mean, Niubei Mountain?!!"

"The next target of the Red Army will be to take action against the Third Synthetic Regiment on Niubei Mountain?"

"Yeah, they have no choice." Chen Ming shrugged.

"Actually, I don't know what their next goal is, but instead of me guessing here, I might as well take the initiative to provide them with convenience."

"Wait for the Blue Army to fully retreat. Give them the left and right sides of Niubei Mountain. The first aspect is similar to what you just said. I don't want to force the Red Army to fight with me now, but I want to give them hope."

"The second aspect is to facilitate the Red Army's next attack. They occupy both sides, but the middle is not theirs. Then the next step is to attack the Synthetic Third Regiment on Niubei Mountain."

“When I facilitate them, I take the initiative.”

this.

Guo Canhui sat aside and was speechless. It turned out that he really didn't fully understand Chen Ming's arrangement.

This guy is really digging holes step by step.

As for the air defense battalion commander Xie Canxiong, he was shocked. He looked at Chen Ming with strange eyes and told him directly that no one should encounter him in future battles.

What Xie Canxiong wants most now is to tell the Red Army brigade commander to run away quickly. You may not be able to defeat this kid.

It's so evil.
