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

Chapter 405: Counting the games in detail, the allusion of six thousand old hens

Leaving today?

Chen Ming came out of the bathroom and wiped his face with a towel in his hand. He was quite surprised by the news.

Although Lao Guo and he were quite unhappy because of some things, after experiencing the competition, the two of them settled their differences and became close friends, and some of the things that happened back then were gone.

"Yes, I have responsibilities, so I can't stay too long." Guo Canhui was not polite to Chen Ming, so he pulled up a chair in the dormitory and sat down, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it.

He crossed his legs, with a rare serious look on his face, and said quietly: "Old Chen, to be honest, I didn't expect you to defeat the Red Army in such a devastating manner this time."

"I'm going back to southern Xinjiang. I can't go on the military journey for more than a few years. I'm going to retire in just three or four years."

"As a veteran, let me give you some advice. This defeat of the Red Army will inevitably attract the attention of the theater and the military, and you will also become the object of attention."

"For you, this may not be a good thing."

"So far, the 704th Division has not taken off the title of pilot division. I don't know what the people above think."

"But the Blues, hey."

Guo Canhui sighed and continued: "With your talents and the fact that there are people above to protect you, your future will be worry-free."

"But the escorting old man is about to retreat. You can't enter the Blue Army Brigade if you can. Otherwise, it will be difficult to lead Songzhi in the future."

"Of course, this is my humble opinion. It depends on you how to choose or how to choose. I'm afraid you can't control it."

After finishing speaking, Guo Canhui took a puff of his cigarette, sat there puffing away smoke, and remained silent.

In response, Chen Ming just nodded without saying anything.

He really couldn't control this kind of thing, at least not yet.

The old man was about to retire. He knew that he was transferred to the fire department after returning from Shimen training. He later understood why.

When one person retires, it means the end of an entire era, and all old comrades must retire.

There are still two generations between the older generation and himself. When he first took over as chief of staff, Chen Ming realized that he had to support himself.

But, is it that easy?

"Forget it, Lao Guo, don't mention this anymore." Chen Ming smiled and put the towel in the bathroom.

I don’t want to talk about some long-term issues at this juncture.

Putting on his military uniform jacket, Chen Ming suggested: "Let's go. I didn't even take you for a walk when I came to Niutoushan. I'm afraid I won't have a chance today."

"Go to the cafeteria downstairs and have a good meal."

"Let it be practiced for you."

"Okay, I'm just waiting for your words, haha!!"

Guo Canhui was not pretentious. He said and did everything he could say and remind.

According to Chen Ming's intelligence, how could he not understand the meaning? No matter how many people there are, it will be useless.

The two of them ran to the brigade cafeteria. Chen Ming was a celebrity in the brigade at this time, and he was greeted by people wherever he went.

The chief of staff of the brigade and the head of the department were completely captured by him in one battle.

Sitting in the cafeteria, the two of them started talking about the joint military exercise a few years ago, and then talked about the competition. They talked about this red and blue battle all the way to the end.

Guo Canhui no longer has much development prospects in the army, but Chen Ming, who is at the same level as him, is at the peak of his power and is in a period of prosperity.

He naturally had nothing to hold back, so he analyzed many experiences and arrangements of mountain brigade operations to Chen Ming.

Niutoushan is located in Fuzhou, and the combat terrain is not limited to Niutou Lake and Niubei Mountain. There are many other terrains, but the heavy equipment travel route simply cannot cover that kind of terrain.

When the slope exceeds 30, the basic performance of the tank drops by more than half, and more than half of it is lost before the battle begins, so the Red Army did not choose those paths this time.

But the Eastern Theater District not only has heavy armored brigades, but also ace units are not only synthesized. Niutoushan will still face many challenges in the future.

The whetstone will naturally sharpen the world's famous swords, and the sword will be sharpened from the sharpening stone. They still have many responsibilities.

Chen Ming benefited a lot from the conversation during breakfast, and finally arranged for Lao Xiong to drive Guo Canhui to Ludao Airport.

It’s a long way from Fuzhou to southern Xinjiang.

As a soldier, Chen Ming still has a mission and cannot send him too far.

I can only wave goodbye to my comrades.

During this encounter, Chen Ming knew that it would be difficult to have such a relaxed conversation in the future.

Including the artillery brigade that is about to go to the 71st Army, the brigade commander Tang Zhen and the chief of staff Peng Qinglin have been leaving the army one after another in the past few years.

Old soldiers never die, they just wither away.

Even if they become officers and hold important positions in the military, when they reach the age, they will retire if they do not go any further.

Send Lao Guo away.

Chen Ming returned to the brigade headquarters, sorted out some materials, called the staff officer, and drove him to the division headquarters.

At this moment.

The 704th Division Headquarters, as the director's department, finished the exercise last night, and today is the time to hold a review meeting.

In practice, it doesn't matter how the battle is fought or how intense it is. It is nothing more than a game between commanders and troop training.

What is really important, or what is valued by the superiors, is the review meeting after the exercise.

Both sides can draw lessons from it, focusing on conclusions rather than winning or losing. This is what the military has been advocating over the years.

For this kind of conference, whether it is the 5th Synthetic Brigade of the Red Army or the 169th Brigade of the Blue Army, all battalion-level officers, including officers above, must be present.

Not only the command of the combat troops, but also the theater army staff and chief of staff Changjiang Zhenjun came.

It can be seen from this that Guo Canhui's reminder just now was correct. This time Chen Ming defeated the Red Army in a devastating way, which not only shocked the entire strategic assault division.

Including the war zone and the military headquarters, they are very concerned about the situation here.

Otherwise, why would the chief of the theater army staff be alerted?

When Chen Ming arrived at the parking lot of the division headquarters, as soon as he got off the bus, Du Longfei, the commander of the 169st Regiment, and Zhang Jintao, the political commissar of the th Brigade, these two old partners were already waiting here.

Especially Zhang Jintao, seeing that Chen Ming had just come over at this time, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Old Chen, you can really keep your composure."

"In this review conference, I want to listen to your speech and learn your battle ideas. You can be considered half of the protagonist, right?"

"Why did you delay it until now?"

"That's right, Lao Zhang and I have been waiting for you here for twenty minutes." Du Longfei said with a smile.

Even though he has become the group leader, his position has been adjusted from a few years ago, and now the three of them are still quite cordial when they meet.

This is the comradeship cultivated in a new unit, led from scratch.

"What are you waiting for me to do? Your Majesty is not in a hurry, and eunuchs are in a hurry." After getting out of the car, Chen Ming ridiculed the two of them without any scruples.

"Hey, you kid is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin."

"It's just that you don't know good people's hearts."

The two sang and laughed, both happy for Chen Ming's feat this time.

Synthesize the 5th Brigade.

The main force of the 71st Army was at the forefront of their minds. A few days ago, when the Blue Army brigade commander Xu Wenqian wanted to let the command go, he even consulted with Zhang Jintao.

No matter how you say it, Lao Zhang is still the political commissar of the brigade. He can still make some suggestions even though he has left the military command alone.

But it's a pity that Lao Zhang is so confident in Chen Ming's abilities that he just pats his chest and says that he has no problem.

But this is the trust between the three of them, which does not mean that Zhang Jintao is really not worried.

He never expected that in just three days after the command was handed over to Chen Ming, the menacing Red Army was defeated. With the main force still there, the outcome would be decided in one battle.

The most important thing is that after the exercise, the main battle framework of the Blue Army was still in place and did not suffer too much losses.

With this kind of record, no matter where he is placed, he will be able to walk with his head held high.

"Okay, let's stop chatting. The review meeting will start in half an hour."

"The commander from the war zone is coming, and the battalion commanders from the Red Army have also been notified."

"The three of us should stop standing here and go upstairs first."

Chen Ming naturally had no objection to Zhang Jintao's invitation. He still remembered the first time he attended the review meeting. It was a few years ago. At that time, he was just a sideshow in the conference room and had no right to speak.

Only four years later, he became half the protagonist in the second review meeting.

This kind of progress is not small.

The review meeting has not yet begun, and commanders at all levels are waiting outside.

Chen Ming and the three of them are regular visitors to the division headquarters, so there is nothing to restrict them here.

The division office area and the director's office are both located on the fifth floor, where many people will gather.

They didn't go over to join in the fun, but went into the living room on the second floor and sat and chatted.

A large-scale exercise is over, and the only ones who are nervous are the officers above who have not yet participated in the review meeting.

The other soldiers were more relaxed.

Especially for the Niutoushan battalions, this victory can be said to have laid a foundation and enhanced confidence.

He has quite the aura of a blue military division. Despite not sleeping all night, when the battalion commanders gathered at the division headquarters to attend the review meeting, the sound of the training rally horns of the companies below was still loud.

The loud horn resounded over Niutoushan, and the faint shouts of killing echoed with the waves in the distance, showing that the strength of the strong army was useless.

Jiang Zhenjun, the chief of staff of the Army Staff of the Eastern Theater Command, came to attend the review meeting in person this time.

When Chen Ming first joined the camp, during a recruit training, he was praised by the commander of the artillery brigade, saying that he was very similar to Jiang Zhenjun back then. His tenacity and dedication to the goal could also influence the people around him.

The characters of both of them never talk about it, they keep their goals deep in their hearts and move forward silently.

Now that ten years have passed, Jiang Zhenjun finally noticed Chen Ming, or in other words, paid more attention to him.

In the past, he had known about such a rising star, but he did not know about the praise of Tang Zhen, the commander of the artillery brigade at that time.

For a person in his position, a company-level cadre, or a senior battalion cadre, is really insignificant.

It is different now.

Although Chen Ming did not have a promotion title, and the war zone's report on the 704th Division has not been clearly disclosed, there is no doubt that Chen Ming's performance in this battle cannot be ignored by anyone.

Standing on the fifth floor of the division headquarters, Jiang Zhenjun looked at the soldiers from each company in Niutoushan passing by in the distance, with a look of relief on his face.

The 704th Division is still a pure army unit, and the Navy's Dragon Group and the Air Force's Falcon Group have not yet arrived.

There are such a large-scale combat force, which shows that the theater has vigorously promoted and the military has strongly supported the pilot, which has gone through three years of preparation and implementation.

Today, I finally saw the results.

"Yes, today's 704th Division looks more like an invincible division."

"It seems that the effect of recent troop training and rectification is very obvious."

Jiang Zhenjun praised without hesitation, and it could be heard that he was indeed happy because the current blue army division had grown in size.

Behind him, Commander Wang Junwei of the 704th Division grinned happily. He used to lead a mixed brigade and had nothing to do with the ace or the main force.

Now times have turned around and the 169th Brigade has become a pilot unit. To have such an achievement, he is the happiest person.

"Humph"

Seeing Wang Junwei baring his teeth in a silly manner, the Red Army brigade commander Peng Tianzheng snorted coldly, quite disgusted with his arrogant and bearish manner.

Realizing that the atmosphere behind them was a bit subtle, Jiang Zhenjun looked back at the two of them with a smile on his lips.

In fact, all three of them were born in the same group.

Like Tang Zhen from the artillery brigade, they are only five or six years older.

It's just that his personal circumstances are different. Jiang Zhenjun has a higher position and is already a big shot in the army.

Peng Tianzheng, Wang Junwei, and Tang Zhen were in relatively ordinary situations.

As an old comrade, he would not be too reserved when talking in private.

"I'm talking about Lao Peng, you are also an experienced veteran. How come you were so easily fooled by a young junior in this battle?"

"Tell me, how did Chen Ming disrupt your arrangement?"

Jiang Zhenjun asked with interest. He didn't know the details of the battle.

Let alone him, before this morning, many people in the theater did not even believe that the Red Army had lost the exercise.

I was able to receive calls from various units just now, sending them confirmation messages.

Who would have thought that the heavy armored brigade, the King of Land, which claims to be able to decide the world in one battle, would have its main force completely destroyed within less than five days of being on the battlefield.

It can almost be described as defeated.

Who dares to believe it?

You know, even in a regional battle, the total troops invested by both sides can reach 100,000 levels. If a heavy-armed brigade is on top, it can carry it for a few days, right?

A heavy-armed brigade, with five to six thousand men, three to four hundred artillery vehicles, and tanks, gathered in one place, unless weapons of large-area destruction were used.

Otherwise, who dares to say that it will take five or six days to eat them?

Not to mention five or six thousand people, you just scattered 6,000 old hens into Niutoushan, and some of them were kept in chicken cages to prevent them from running around. In five days, with more than 10,000 blue troops, they searched everywhere. You can’t catch them all, right?

What's more, a heavy-armed brigade with extremely high combat qualities and tough equipment?

"Hey!"

Peng Tianzheng felt helpless when he mentioned the story of this defeat, but when asked by the chief of staff, he had to tell him.

In front of old comrades, there is nothing to say.

"Forget about Chief of Staff Jiang, that boy Chen Ming is really a cunning old man."

"No, little slippery man."

"I have figured out his fighting habits. If he dares to try and design, there is nothing he dares not do."

"When our army just crossed Niutou Lake and successfully crossed the river, Lao Xu's style of play was more stable and heavy, with more than enough defense but not enough offense."

"So, I arranged for all the soldiers of the Red Army to spread out an artillery array two to three kilometers horizontally to the north of Niubei Mountain."

"Aim the muzzle at Niubei Mountain. We only surround but don't attack. Everyone rests and waits to capture Niubei Mountain at night."

"We had just crossed the lake at that time, and the morale of our soldiers was high."

"Well, that's right." Jiang Zhenjun nodded. Peng Tianzheng's arrangement was correct and reasonable.

The artillery formation was stretched horizontally, both front and rear, and heavy artillery suppressed the formation. It was indeed difficult for the Blue Army to have the confidence to confront the enemy head-on.

"That's right, but I didn't expect that there would be a sudden change of command. After Chen Ming took over, he didn't care how powerful my artillery formation was. He directly ordered the Blue Army to dispatch and attack fiercely."

"This is the posture of a decisive battle. The strange thing is that the Blue Army seems to be very clear about my arrangement. It specially arranges aviation troops to attack the weak points of my artillery array, and also arranges special operations battalions to attack from the rear."

"It delayed my layout, so I had no choice but to withdraw the long-distance battle formation."

"This retreat is even worse. Chen Ming arranges for the entire blue army to dispatch from time to time. Each time, the fight cannot last long and they retreat decisively."

"My plan to attack Niubei Mountain was shelved."

"Who would have known that when we finally occupied the key roads on both sides of Niubei Mountain again, Chen Ming actually knew that I was going to do this. He dug minefields nearby and hid thousands of soldiers in the mountains."

"Just when I was about to attack, I mobilized in full force and thousands of people rushed across the nearby positions."

"This"

After Jiang Zhenjun listened, he didn't know what to say. What others told him was very plain, but he was also a soldier, so he naturally knew that the battle would never be so easy.

It’s really one step back, one step back.

It can be seen that Chen Ming's tactics are of the type that takes advantage of your illness to kill you, and does not give the Red Army a chance to breathe at all.

Taking advantage of the home field advantage, he attacked repeatedly and disrupted the enemy's arrangement, and was led by his arrangement.

"If I'm not wrong, Chen Ming participated in the competition from Shimen and came back in first place overall. He directly took over the command of the Blue Army without knowing the situation of the battle, right?"

Jiang Zhenjun said quietly, there is nothing brilliant about tactics, but if you can win, it is a good tactic.

"This guy is really awesome."

"It's not that exaggerated." Hearing Chief of Staff Jiang's praise, Xu Wenqian, commander of the 169th Brigade, laughed sarcastically and said, "Chen Ming just came back and didn't come to the division headquarters to report."

"At that time, he was still a member of the fire department. He ran to the Red Army's artillery array in advance to conduct a close-up reconnaissance."

"Then he went back to the division headquarters to get the appointment letter. After the war started, he went to the front line to measure the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the red and blue sides."

"Then I came back and formulated the battle plan."

"He made a time lag and took action only after he was fully prepared. It's not that he didn't know the details."

Xu Wenqian explained awkwardly that the Red Army command did not know the details, but the review meeting could not be bypassed.

Review is to replay the entire battle situation and find the shortcomings.

When Chen Ming went to investigate secretly, how could he hide it?

"What? You said that Chen Ming, as a firepower officer, went to our position to inspect it at close range?"

Hearing this, the Red Army brigade commander Peng Tianzheng's eyes widened and his nose almost spit fire.

This is so dishonest. No wonder the opponent was so targeted in their first battle.

The artillery array was spread out several kilometers, but the Blue Army was able to find the weak point and attack forcefully, causing them to have to gather their troops to avoid excessive losses.

Who would have thought that this kid had been here before?

"Don't be surprised. He doesn't break the rules. Even if he doesn't take over the command this time, he will still visit your place."

"Because Chen Ming's temperament is like this. Every time he fights, he can't sit still."

Wang Junwei reminded with a smile.

The group of people around him were speechless. After thinking about it carefully, they did not violate the rules.

But, isn’t this too doggy?

Peng Tianzheng sighed, if you lose, you lose. There is no use saying anything now.
