Chapter 484 Arriving in Fuzhou, the same thing happens again?
The exercise signal sounded in the early morning, which also indicated that the combat readiness had officially shifted to combat.

The tractor trucks of each battalion of the 179th Brigade started up, and endless troop carriers drove onto the road like a tide. Soldiers and tanks of the entire brigade were divided into two groups and headed to the training area.

At the brigade headquarters, all the battalion commanders under the brigade gathered here.

It's time to leave.

Chen Jun is now the brigade chief of staff and the commander of the entire brigade together with Brigade Leader Feng. It is impossible for him to go to the exercise area alone to explore as he did before.

The commanders would gather at the Fuzhou Army Headquarters for a meeting before returning to their respective areas and starting the war.

Looking at the familiar and resolute faces in front of him, Chen Jun nodded slightly: "Comrades, this is the first time that our 179th Brigade has fought such a large-scale battle."

"But you are not."

"After arriving in Fuzhou, each battalion will enter their respective regional positions in sequence."

"The radar must be turned on 24 hours a day for external reconnaissance, drones must be flown continuously, and the infantry company sniper teams must be mainly single soldiers and dispersed in our area to familiarize themselves with the terrain as quickly as possible and conduct hunting and anti-hunting training."

"Of course, the most important thing is to clear the security of our area and prevent the Red Army's scouts from infiltrating in advance."

"Operation Staff, organize and begin exercise modeling immediately upon arrival in the area."

"I won't say anything more. You are all veterans of the battlefield. You should know that the war has already started silently since we left the camp."

"You have arrived in Fuzhou with your team. When you are marching to the exercise area, remember to follow the battle formation, march in small groups and multiple routes, and distinguish between two motorized marching columns."

"The battalion must organize its march according to the sequence of command post, launch unit, and support unit."

"Comrades, is this clear?"

"clear!!"

"Okay, let's go!!"

"Yes!!"

All the battalion commanders responded in unison, then turned around and prepared to leave in their cars.

As the logistics manager, Li Haiyao naturally had to go to the battlefield with the army. She had to take over the management of part of the Blue Army's baggage warehouses.

To ensure the combat needs of the 179th Brigade.

If nothing unexpected happens.

The war lasted for a month, and the two of them had no chance to meet each other for a month.

If we fight for two months, we will basically not see each other for two months.

As a soldier, Li Haiyao knew that they were about to part, so she suppressed her emotions of parting and just helped Chen Jun tidy up his military uniform.

Then, when no one was paying attention, he gave her a reluctant hug.

Chen Jun said with a serious expression and a hint of reluctance: "Yaoyao, the exercise is about to begin, take care of yourself."

"You too."

Li Haiyao tapped his chin lightly, then picked up the backpack on the ground, waved goodbye, and got on the logistics car.

The roar of car engines and the roar of truck tractors continued on the avenue in front of the brigade for more than an hour.

The troops finally moved away.

Looking at the convoy disappearing at the end of the road in the distance, Chen Jun turned and headed towards the brigade's direct guard company.

Here is the Tyrannosaurus Squad that he specially organized. There are not many people, only about thirty.

They are all veterans selected from the reconnaissance battalion and the guard company. Chen Jun usually has no time to train them, and in fact, there is no point in his training.

With the ability of one person, it is impossible to train people to the level of a commando under the conditions of a field unit. At most, it can be regarded as a secret reconnaissance team.

For this National Day military training, Chen Jun has made great preparations and put a lot of effort into it.

In the past two months, the Tyrannosaurus team did not even let its members get a haircut. They learned that the training area this time was set in Fuzhou.

Yesterday afternoon, Chen Jun arranged for soldiers from Fuzhou to join the team and learn the local dialect overnight.

At this time, under the leadership of Zhang Li, the captain of the guard company, thirty members had changed into casual clothes and were being called to prepare for departure.

Seeing the chief of staff coming, Zhang Li quickly put on his clothes and ran over to salute.

Seeing this, Chen Jun waved his hand and smiled: "No need, it's still wartime, so don't be so strict."

"You should also prepare to set off. This training can be considered as a mission familiarization exercise, or simply a journey."

"Move along the perimeter of our garrison and act according to circumstances."

"This training may last for a long time. Observe the actions of other units. If all else fails, do some business near other garrisons."

"I'll contact you when I get back from the meeting in Fuzhou."

"Yes!!"

Zhang Li was quite excited when he heard about this special mission.

Can you not be excited?

In fact, if it were possible, Chen Jun himself would have liked to pretend to be a fellow villager selling strong army tanks and stroll around the enemy camp.

That feeling is so exciting just thinking about it.

Being a commander may seem glamorous, but it is really tiring.

Especially commanding a brigade, compared to commanding a battalion, the difficulty increases by not ten times, but a hundred times.

After explaining the situation to Zhang Li.

Chen Jun then strolled back to the brigade headquarters building. Now was the stage for the troops to set off, and it would take at least two days to reach the designated position.

The brigade commander was in no hurry to set out.

For example, Feng Lu was sitting in the office at this time and kept hearing no movement downstairs.

Then he arranged for someone to call Chen Jun to his office.

"You should pack your bags too. We will set off at noon. Tomorrow afternoon, the Army Headquarters will convene a meeting of all comrades participating in the exercise in this theater."

"This is your first time attending a meeting like this. Just go there and listen to the process and familiarize yourself with it."

"Yes, Brigadier."

Chen Jun nodded. He was not surprised by these arrangements.

It's an exercise.

Those who were red-eyed and shouting for fighting were the soldiers below. The real high-level commanders would happily sit together and discuss some details of the operation before the war.

The process of the war game simulation is announced by the director's office.

Control the entire combat range within a certain degree.

After all, if so many units were allowed to attack freely, the battlefield would probably be in chaos on the first day.

After all, it’s the same old saying.

The exercises are only to train the troops' operational capabilities, test their ability to withstand pressure in a near-real environment, and train the troops' individual qualities and ability to understand commands.

Similarly, it is also to make the troops familiar with the operational procedures, the field combat environment, and the weapons and firepower.

By the way, it also tests the commander's ability to organize and command.

In fact, exercises are also a form of combat readiness.

It's just a little bit bigger.

Maybe he felt that Chen Jun was under too much pressure before the war, so he hasn't said much since he entered the office.

Feng Qiuhu smiled and consoled him: "Chen Jun, don't think too much about this series of military exercises. Although the rotation battles take a long time, they will be more difficult to fight."

"But in terms of the war zone, what is tested is the results of our informatization construction, and then a three-dimensional war is launched."

"We need to test the combat effectiveness of information technology on the battlefield through war modes such as mobile warfare, positional assault warfare, and defensive warfare."

"After all, the military reform has changed so many units, so we have to produce some results."

"I understand, Brigadier General."

Chen Jun grinned. He had no regrets about the military reform.

The First Battalion was disbanded, but he never said anything. Although he was disappointed, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, if there had not been this military reform, how could the heavily armored combined brigades of later generations become famous around the world and deter those with evil intentions?
"Commander, I'm not worried about this training. The higher-ups want to test informationization and integration, so they must want to see a system confrontation." "My personal suggestion is that before the system confrontation, it would be better to run in one or two operations before launching a system confrontation."

"Oh?"

Feng Qiuhu thought for a moment after hearing this: "You mean, after one or two battles, the commanders at all levels will have a clear idea of ​​what to do, so it will be safer to conduct a system confrontation?"

"Yes, Brigadier General."

Chen Jun agreed: "Our data is based on daily training. It is unknown how much of this data will remain on the training ground."

"But it will definitely decrease, maybe even cut in half."

"After all, the intensity of training cannot be compared with the intensity of exercises. If we directly engage in system confrontation in the first exercise, I feel it would be a bit too hasty."

"Maybe your ideas will coincide with those of many units."

Feng Qiuhu nodded, his idea was the same as Chen Jun's.

Not engaging in system confrontation at the beginning is probably the common idea held by many commanders of combined forces brigades.

You know, ever since the divisions were transformed into brigades and combined brigades appeared in large numbers in various military regions, the slogans all day long have been synthesis and informatization.

These slogans occupied most of the army's energy.

As for resources, the various combined brigades have been taking as much as possible over the past six months.

In order to ensure a smooth initial formation, able-bodied men were recruited from all units of the entire army group.

Let’s not talk about anything else for now, let’s just talk about the 71st Army.

When Chen Jun was leading the reconstruction work, wasn't there enough backbone personnel from the Artillery Brigade, Artillery Brigade, and Combat Support Brigade?

This year, the quotas for staying in the team and the quotas for promotion will come first for the synthetic units.

This time, the theater of operations pulled all the combined brigades to the battlefield at once. There were various problems within the 179th Brigade, which led to unsatisfactory combat effectiveness.

But are there definitely no problems with other units?
There are good and bad people mixed together, and this is the inevitable situation at the moment.

In this situation, no one would want to start with a drastic approach right from the start.

It is inevitable to have a tentative confrontation and then make timely strategic adjustments based on actual feedback.

"But this kind of thing depends on who our opponent is this time."

"The theater of operations has also given the participating troops enough time to decide. The directorate will not force the start of a war. It's up to you how you plan this exploratory attack."

"Of course, it also depends on whether our opponents will cooperate."

"I guess he will cooperate."

Chen Jun analyzed with his hands on his hips.

Chen Jun is not sure about these issues because some commanders do not consider them.

If they really come up, they will be red-eyed as soon as they meet, rocket launchers will whiz into the sky, combat orders will be thrown down, and it will be as if both sides will not stop until their brains are filled with shit.

There's no point in testing me. I will definitely fight with all my strength.

It won't matter when that time comes.

There is no absolute victory in war. Even if we take a step back and say that there is no point in fighting a war that is 100% certain to be won, there is no point in that.

The most important thing right now is to keep making progress, accumulate experience, and overtake the Americans while moving forward.

. . . . . . . . . .

Feng Qiuhu and Chen Jun stayed in the unit's tank until they got on the train.

When towing vehicles and some soldiers travel by land and head to the designated positions according to the established route.

The two of them then set off, arranging for an orderly to drive, and drove straight to Fuzhou on the highway.

During the journey, Chen Jun kept an eye on the driving conditions of the land motor vehicle fleet and asked about the itinerary every hour.

Have no idea.

It’s because our Chief of Staff Chen has only been in charge of the brigade for a short time, and he can’t reach the same level as the previous Brigade Commander Tao.

Since they were engaged in intensive military training, Brigade Tao basically didn't pay much attention to the situation of the first battalion.

They report to their superiors regularly.

On the way to Fuzhou.

Nothing special happened, maybe because I was assigned to the Blues this time.

There were no referees from the directorate accompanying the troops, nor were the units notified of any abnormalities in the march.

On the evening of the 29th, the two arrived at the Fuzhou Army Headquarters, but no tasks were assigned to them.

Chen Jun contacted the troops going by land and made sure they could arrive before daybreak.

After arriving at the designated position.

Chen Jun began to study the distribution map of the Blue Army in this operation and the topographic map of Fuzhou.

The map was distributed only after arriving at the headquarters.

I remember that during last year’s annual military exercise, Chen Jun led a battalion to participate in Fuzhou, and was assigned to the 1221 area.

This time, the area where their 179th Brigade is stationed is code-named 26.

This kind of number.

It has no special meaning, unlike the numbers named after the high places, which are marked according to the altitude.

There is no trace of the code name of the combat area at all.

Sometimes, if we are more rigorous, we usually number them according to the direction of attack or defense, from left to right, from front to back.

But most of the time it's not that troublesome.

The old staff officer in charge of this work may have filled in the numbers randomly on a whim when he saw the codes on the cigarette boxes.

Skipping the number of the combat zone, Chen Jun compared the distribution of the Blue Army's troops.

The firepower distribution of the red and blue sides should be evenly divided. Anyway, according to the distribution map, the blue army in area 26 is composed of nine combined brigades.

Except for the 179th Brigade, four of the other five combined brigades of the st Army are present.

Only the 236th Brigade, which had trained with them, was excluded.

I don't know what's wrong with this arrangement.

Chen Jun always felt that something was wrong.

However, he didn't think much about it.

Chen Jun is more familiar with the combined brigade in the Eastern Theater Command and has taken a look at its entire distribution.

The red and blue allocation for this operation is actually not difficult to understand.

The 71st Army is basically the main force of the Blue Army, while the 73rd Army is the main force of the Red Army.

As for the 5nd Army sandwiched in the middle, its 10th Combined Brigade, 34th Brigade, 85th Brigade, and th Brigade were assigned to the Blue Army.

The remaining 90th Brigade, 124th Brigade, and the 236th Brigade of the st Army were assigned to the Red Army.

District 2626.
Chen Jun stared at the firepower distribution map, then looked at the topographic map of Fuzhou.

In his mind, he gradually recalled the command of several brigades of the Blue Army, as well as the actions of each brigades in recent times.

Try to measure the firepower comparison between the red and blue sides.

The directorate generally judges the combat effectiveness of the troops after the exercise, by making a comprehensive assessment based on military modeling of 15 items including command, mobility, offense, defense, combat organization, coordination efficiency, firepower, etc. of the two troops.

It is definitely impossible for Chen Jun to be so detailed.

But based on his understanding of each brigade, he could roughly measure the gap between the red and blue sides.

Moreover, area 26 is very close to the previous area 1221, and they even partially overlap.

This information is combined.

Even Chen Jun himself was secretly looking forward to it.

Is there a chance that what happened last year will happen again?
