I asked you to repeat your senior year of high school, but did you miss out on joining the military

Chapter 382: The two commanders met and the wind direction changed

The first battalion's garrison is located more than 100 kilometers away from the Army General Staff Headquarters in a straight line.

The journey was too boring.

Chen Jun was originally thinking that while sitting in the director's car, he could observe other garrisons along the way so as to memorize their locations.

If you have the chance to see the Blue Army’s base, it would be an unexpected bonus.

Take advantage of any opportunity and blow them all up.

This is not Chen Jun's imagination.

You know, the military reform has not been completely liberalized, the firepower configuration of each unit has not been innovated, and towed artillery is still the mainstream.

As long as he gets the coordinates, with the current logistical supply capabilities of the First Battalion, they will be able to fight anyone they meet on equal terms.

Chen Jun is not bragging.

He had done some homework before the exercise. The cross-regional operations in the Eastern Theater Command would inevitably involve the navy, marine units and so on.

Just hearing the name, don’t you think they are cool?
In fact, in the early stages of 2017, the equipment of the Eastern Theater Command’s Marine Corps units was really poor.

The equipment of the 16th Brigade is already top-notch among the innovative generation. After all, it has been equipped with amphibious vehicles, not to mention whether its firepower is sufficient.

At least the quality is not low.

If it were the 1st Marine Brigade, to put it bluntly, the 1st Battalion would only have half of its firepower and would go into battle half seriously and half jokingly. With the current strength of the 1st Brigade, it might not be able to defeat the 1st Battalion.

Have you seen the Type 59-1 130mm coastal defense gun?

This antique is from our great-grandfather’s generation, but it still exists firmly in the Marine Corps, serving as the main artillery.

There is no other way, the military reform must be integrated.

In recent years, the updating and iteration of army equipment has begun to accelerate, and the navy is not far behind. The two brothers are competing with each other for development.

In this situation, the existence of the Marine Corps is embarrassing.

The organization is a navy, but it is labeled as a land warfare unit, and the navy's equipment cannot be transferred.

Ask the Army for it. Many units in the Army are still worried about their own configuration.

Of course, we are not saying that we won’t give it. We will definitely give it.

They were all obsolete grandfather-generation equipment and sent to land combat units, which also enabled the naval forces to participate in the war on land.

Chen Jun currently doesn't like any of them, since it is a cross-regional joint training, and the logistics are strong.

He didn't plan to let it go this time.

It's just a pity.

The windows around the director's vehicle were all covered with camouflage nets, and Chen Jun could not see anything while sitting in the back seat.

His little plan failed, so he had to give up.

Li Peifang sat in the passenger seat and looked at Chen Jun without any concern.

He shook his head slightly and stopped paying attention to it. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

The first battalion had been busy all night last night, and he had been busy all night too, and now he couldn't bear it any longer.

As for how the director's office would interfere with last night's incident and how to handle it specifically, Li Peifang himself didn't know.

We’ll talk about it when we get there.

When Chen Jun received the order.

The commander of the 16th Brigade, Cao Tiande, set off before him.

Unlike Chen Jun's previous journey, his mood had been relatively calm, and he even had the mind to scout out other Blue Army camps along the way.

Because Chen Jun knew it clearly.

He was the victor and did not openly violate the rules of the exercise.

Even if we have to discuss it, it won't be a big deal.

Of course, if the directorate did not notify the start of the live-fire confrontation at six o'clock.

Chen Jun was once accused of privately mobilizing troops and launching fire.

Even if we won the battle.

At the very least, he should be replaced as the commander, and wait for punishment from his superiors after the exercise.

During this period, you will have to sit on the bench for at least half a month.

But Chen Jun was not stupid. While he was actively preparing for the battle, he had been watching Li Peifang's actions.

The director's office takes an attitude of neither stopping nor approving, so what is there to be afraid of?
Besides, if the higher-ups really wanted to get rid of him, would they have to travel hundreds of kilometers to get there?

The problem was solved with just one phone call.

Taking all the signs into consideration.

So Chen Jun was very calm.

But Lao Cao couldn't remain calm. He even felt very depressed.

damn it.

Ever since the brigade’s combat damage data was compiled, the blue veins on Cao Tiande’s forehead have been bulging and have never gone down.

There are more than 5,800 people in the entire brigade.

After two rounds of artillery fire, less than a thousand soldiers survived.

The combat casualties exceeded 80 percent, and all the commanding personnel of the brigade were eliminated.

According to the regulations of live-fire confrontation exercises, a unit will be eliminated if its troop loss exceeds 70%.

He definitely exceeded his target.

Less than ten minutes after the order for the live-fire exercise was issued, the Red Army was eliminated without even seeing a single hair.

It would be strange if Cao Tiande felt good about it.

Came to the Army Staff Headquarters in the theater.

When Cao Tiande got out of the car, he felt as if there was a huge rock blocking his chest.

It's not easy to breathe anymore.

He just didn't know which unit of the Red Army launched the attack.

Otherwise, you would have to greet each other at least a hundred times on the way here.

He also asked the referee stationed in the brigade, but the information he got was that the directorate had not announced the unit number of the unit that launched the fire.

If you want to know the answer, you can only come here and report your work yourself.

As the brigade commander of the 31st Army, Lao Cao has many acquaintances in the Army General Staff.

Whenever I come here, I always look up, smile and say hello to everyone I see.

But it’s not possible today, Lao Cao didn’t dare to say anything.

That guy looked as if he was afraid of being recognized by others. He kept his head down the whole time and hurried to the multimedia conference room of the General Staff Headquarters.

This is also the location where the directorate was set up for this exercise.

"Oh, damn, these son-of-a-bitch Red Army soldiers."

Cao Tiande walked to the door of the director's department. He took a deep breath and cursed under his breath to cheer himself up.

Then he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

Without waiting for a response from inside, Cao Tiande reached out, turned the handle, pushed the door open and strode in.

At this time, the projection on an entire wall of the multimedia conference room was replaced with images of the garrisons of various troops.

On the side wall are the garrison locations of the red and blue forces in this exercise, and the Red Army logo appears on the screen as a red dot.

Conversely, the Blues' logo is a blue dot.

it's here.

As long as Cao Tiande wanted to remember the locations of a few Red Army garrisons, he could roughly remember several of them just by looking at the map.

It's just a pity.

He really isn't in the mood for that right now.

The entire brigade has been beaten to hundreds of people, there's no point in trying all these little tricks.

Maybe it's because of the temporary ceasefire.

At this time, there was no leader of a high rank in charge of the directorate.

Only a few colonels and two major-level staff officers were busy in the distance.

Seeing Lao Cao coming, one of the staff officers raised his hand and patted the desk on which he was working. The screen that originally displayed the garrisons of various troops was completely cut off by the staff.

Changed to snow screen.

Cao Tiande turned around and found that the screen was turned off. He cursed casually: "Old Qin, you are so stingy."

"Don't you know why I came here today?"

The man called Lao Qin was the staff officer who had just directed the staff to cut off the screen.

Seeing the normally high-spirited Brigade Commander Cao, now standing there with a few documents in his hands, he looked like a young man who had made a mistake, with a frown on his face and a look of resentment.

Lao Qin said with a half-smile: "We have to follow the rules. There is nothing we can do."

"What's wrong, Lao Cao? Did you capsize in the gutter?"

"Damn it, stop bringing up all that stuff. If you want to kill me, do it to me."

Cao Tiande cursed angrily and then threw the document on the table beside him.

Then he sat on the chair very calmly, with an attitude of waiting for everything to be done.

Lao Qin didn't bother with him.

There is a saying outside: New Year's pig, frightened donkey, angry daughter-in-law, and fish that have come ashore are the most difficult to appease.

These principles can also be applied in the army, but there are no donkeys or fish in the army. We need to replace them with commanders who have suffered defeat and troops that are about to be reorganized.

If you encounter an officer like this, just don't provoke him.

That's just like a firecracker, the type that will catch fire at any time.

"Tell me, Lao Qin, which unit of the Red Army found my camp in advance?"

"Even if I die, you want me to be a clear-headed ghost, right?"

"You guys in the director's office are really stingy. Do you really need to keep such a small piece of news secret like it's a treasure?"

Cao Tiande asked indignantly.

Hearing this, Lao Qin shook his head very quickly: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, I'm just afraid that you can't bear the blow."

"When everyone is here, I'll take you to the reception room and ask for yourself."

"Is everyone here?"

"Who else is coming?"

Cao Tiande was stunned.

It's not that he was slow to react or anything. According to normal procedures, he was defeated and was bombed right at the beginning of the exercise.

The battle was too frustrating, so I had to come to the directorate to accept criticism from my superiors and seriously examine my shortcomings.

There's nothing wrong with that.

In similar situations, the commander of the Red Army's victorious troops did not need to come here and deliberately accept praise.

Just when Lao Cao was puzzled, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the multimedia conference room.

"Report!!"

Cao Tiande was sitting closest to the door. Hearing that the person outside was young, he didn't take it seriously and opened the door casually.

The visitor is indeed young.

He looked to be in his twenties, wearing a camouflage uniform, about 1.80 meters tall, and looked exceptionally energetic.

It was Chen Jun who came to report after receiving instructions from the director's office.

Since officers were not allowed to wear military ranks during the exercise, Chen Jun's service badge and military rank were removed at this time.

He looks like a student who just graduated.

Cao Tiande must have heard of Chen Jun's name, but he had never seen him, and he didn't have that exaggerated military rank hanging on his shoulders.

Lao Cao was completely unaware that he was "obsessed" with the Red Army commander.

At this moment, standing in front of him.

The two commanders who had fought each other overnight met in real life.

It’s a pity that Chen Jun didn’t recognize who Lao Cao was.

Or maybe he just didn't know which kind-hearted person received the hundreds of rockets delivered last night.

Cao Tiande doesn’t know Chen Jun, but that doesn’t mean Lao Qin doesn’t know him.

How did Chen Jun come to the base, and how did he measure the terrain within a radius of 20 kilometers in one night?

How to build fortifications and how to arrange troops to set up camps were carried out in an orderly manner.

Part of this information was transmitted back by the referees stationed in the First Battalion's directorate.

Another part was taken by high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.

If it weren't for this information, a lot of good things would have been said about Chen Jun's command ability.

Would the directorate allow him to attack the 16th Brigade?
Could it be that when the first battalion opened fire, the timing was delayed by one or two minutes, and the directorate just happened to notify the start of the live-fire exercise?
There are not so many coincidences.

The exercise is a comprehensive assessment of a commander. As the saying goes, if you wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

In such a cruel environment on the battlefield, Chen Jun was able to maintain a positive attitude towards the war even after learning that the Red Army's troops had lost contact one after another.

It has already received the above recognition.

Don’t forget that before a live-fire exercise, the first thing to do is to pass a simulated multi-subject exercise.

The exercise began as soon as the troops left the barracks.

War is cruel, and if you want to command an army, you have to consider more than one aspect.

To gain recognition, you must demonstrate sufficient ability in exchange.

if not.

Once a war really breaks out, the units involved will have to pay a more painful price.

Old Qin ignored Cao Tiande, he just looked Chen Jun up and down.

Then he nodded and said, "Okay, everyone is here, let's go."

Done.

Regardless of whether Lao Cao was confused or not, he left the director's office and took the two of them directly to the reception room next door.

Although it is called a reception room, its area is actually about the same as a small conference room.

It can accommodate about twenty people.

When Chen Jun followed Lao Qin over, he was surprised to find that there were already more than a dozen people sitting in the reception room.

He didn't recognize most of them, but there was one person he was quite familiar with.

It was Tao Junming, the brigade commander of the 179th Brigade.

Lao Qin took them to the door and left without saying anything.

Cao Tiande was holding the battle damage report in his hand. He was different from Chen Jun.

After all, he has been in the army for decades, and there are more than a dozen people in the entire reception room.

Lao Cao knows at least half of them.

Among them was the commander of the 124th Division and several commanders from the Blue Army.

Suddenly I saw so many old friends gathered together.

Cao Tiande's expression, which had just relaxed, suddenly fell again.

He couldn't help but curse in his heart the Red Army commander who bombed him yesterday.

It's so damn embarrassing to meet a group of old brothers in such an occasion.

But Chen Jun didn't have this awareness. Seeing Tao Lu here, he walked straight over and sat in front of him.

Just as I was about to ask in a low voice what was going on.

Outside the reception room.

The commander-in-chief of the Eastern Theater Command is Shen Hongwei, the commander-in-chief of the Army is Li Zhenhua, the deputy commander-in-chief of the theater is Yi Zhengming, and the deputy chief of staff of the Joint Staff Department is Chen Huanran.

Several people appeared at the door together.

Cao Tiande, who was originally a little dazed, saw so many leaders coming over.

Lao Cao hurriedly made room for the door.

Chen Jun also looked at the old man in shock. He never expected to see Li Haiyao's grandfather in the director's office.

The Eastern Theater Command’s annual military exercise features a large-scale cross-regional joint training.

But now all the military regions in the five major war zones are conducting exercises, so why did it happen here?

Only then did Chen Jun vaguely guess that today's meeting might not have much to do with his rash attack on the Blues last night.

After all, it was just a small matter for him, there was no need to make such a big fuss about it.

But Tao Junming, who was standing aside, stood straight.

He sat there, with a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed.

There are many things that Chen Jun doesn’t know, but Tao Junming knows them very well.

Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about this meeting.

The higher-ups do need to rectify things and scold people, but it has absolutely nothing to do with their 179th Brigade.

Not only will they not be scolded, but they will most likely also be criticized for Chen Jun's performance this time.

Be commended.
