Chapter 121 Actual Combat Exercise (7)

"Chief of Staff Zhao, this is Comrade Zhao Zhongyao, the youngest military expert in our army, the director of the Department of Physics of Jianghai City, Professor Zhao, Director Zhao. Yan Mingcheng generously briefed Chief of Staff Zhao on Zhao Zhongyao's situation.

"Chief of Staff Zhao, hello!" Zhao Zhongyao also generously stretched out his hand and shook it with Chief of Staff Zhao.

"Haha, the youngest military expert in our army, I have heard of it for a long time! But I didn't expect it, how can you be so young! Are you thirty years old?"

Although Chief of Staff Zhao saw that Zhao Zhongyao was very young, he thought that a university professor must be in his thirties no matter what! He said that he was thirty years old, and he was already very young!

"Report to the Chief of Staff, I am just twenty-three years old. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Chief of Staff Zhao with some embarrassment and said.

"What, only twenty-three years old, how is this --- possible!" Chief of Staff Zhao didn't believe Zhao Zhongyao's words, he became an expert professor at the age of twenty-three, which is a rare thing!

"Chief of Staff Zhao, that's right, Zhongyao was directly promoted to a professor in the Department of Physics of Jiang University of Technology after graduating from university, so he is very young. Yan Mingcheng and Zhao Zhongyao have been together for many days, and he knows a lot about Zhao Zhongyao's affairs. After listening to Staff Officer Zhao's words, he didn't wait for Zhao Zhongyao to speak, so he explained first.

"Oh, so that's the case! Comrade Zhao Zhongyao, you are really amazing! With a talent like you, our army will sooner or later become a modern and excellent army!" Chief of Staff Zhao looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said some words of praise for him.

"Thank you, Chief of Staff Zhao, I will work hard to develop better equipment to make our troops stronger and more indestructible. Zhao Zhongyao also said some big things.

"Well, our old Zhao family, it's really lucky to have a talent like you! You have added glory to our old Zhao family! I hope you will continue to work hard and become the most famous military expert in the history of our army, and at that time, you will really be regarded as honoring our ancestors for our old Zhao family!" Chief of Staff Zhao said, patting Zhao Zhongyao on the shoulder, encouraging him to continue to work hard and develop better weapons and equipment so that our army will become stronger.

After that, Chief of Staff Zhao left everyone and went to his own exercise command post.

It was getting late, and the troops had nothing to do, just to eat and rest. Prepare for the next day's exercise mission.

On the second day, the exercise task assigned by the higher authorities was naturally ready for the war. Although the exercise was not a war, everything was carried out in accordance with the requirements of actual combat.

Why is it said that it is a real combat exercise, it lies in this. Everything starts from actual combat, strict requirements and meticulousness.

The first is to inspect the weapons and equipment to see if there are any problems with the equipment.

For example, the wireline soldier should check whether there is any damage to the single machine and the line, and if there is, repair it quickly. Wireless soldiers, to check whether there is a problem with the radio station, whether you can quickly communicate with the other party, and to memorize some frequently used frequencies and call phrases.

In modern warfare, communication is a very important link. All instructions and orders from superiors must be conveyed by signal corps. If there is a problem with the line and a problem with the radio station, won't that seriously affect the combat effectiveness? If a war really breaks out and the instructions and orders from the higher levels cannot be conveyed, then the grassroots units will not all be in chaos.

In this regard, Yan Mingcheng knows very well whether he can fight this battle well, the communication system is a very important link, and the communication guarantee must be very smooth, and there can be no problems.

You must know that although Zhao Zhongyao upgraded the vehicles of the armored division, all vehicles, including helicopters, are equipped with advanced atomic engines. However, in the area of communication systems, Zhao Zhongyao did not do any development. Everything is still old-fashioned gear.

Wired soldiers, using hand-cranked single machines and wire crutches to carry wires. The wireless soldiers used the old 619B radio. The equipment is very, very backward. It was the equipment of the Signal Corps when it was first established.

In any case, these communications equipment are not within the scope of Zhao Zhongyao's development, and he does not know much about this knowledge. Experts and experts are all very talented in a certain aspect, not to say that all human knowledge knows, how is this possible!

For the importance of communication, and the relative backwardness of equipment. Yan Mingcheng knows it. He knew that this time against Yao Hongjun, he was not afraid of anything, he was afraid that something would go wrong in this area.

Even though his loading vehicles are the most advanced equipment developed by Zhao Zhongyao, the helicopter is also the most advanced Xiaodui armed helicopter.

However, in the area of communications equipment, he is no better than Yao Hongjun, and both of them use traditional old equipment, and whether or not they can ensure the unimpeded flow of the communications system in this exercise, the responsibility of the communications battalion is very heavy.

It was precisely because Yan Mingcheng realized the importance of the communications system in this exercise that he first called Wu Baoquan, the commander of the communications battalion, over.

Wu Baoquan, a middle-aged man in his thirties, looks thin and tall, just like a telephone pole. Some of his colleagues were behind his back, calling him Wu Electric Pole.

Although this person is not very good-looking and his name is not good-looking, he has good professional quality, high education, and is very serious about his work. Yan Mingcheng still takes him very seriously.

Wu Baoquan was born as a wired soldier, and was later admitted to a military communications academy and became a communications officer. Later, he returned to the armored division and became a communications company commander in Yan Mingcheng's regiment. Later, Yan Mingcheng became the division commander, so he promoted Wu Baoquan to be the commander of the communications battalion of the armored division, responsible for the communication work of the whole division.

This major exercise was also a very important test for Yan Mingcheng. Although he is now a division commander, he is actually an acting division commander, and as I said earlier, he was directly promoted from the position of commander of a tank regiment of the armored division to the position of division commander.

Since he was promoted and reused by leapfrogging, the higher-level leaders would definitely test him well, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to directly skip the level of deputy division commander and directly become the division commander.

Although Yan Mingcheng is now the division commander, in fact, to put it bluntly, he is still the deputy division commander, because there is also the word 'acting' in front of him.

Whether or not the word 'acting' can be removed is also related to the question of whether he can successfully become the commander of this division.

If this time, he performs well in the exercise, and the Jianghai Armored Division successfully defeats the Yanhai Armored Division, then it is possible that he will quickly change the word 'acting' last year and become the real division commander of the Jianghai Armored Division. On the contrary, he may become the deputy division commander.
