Chapter 122 Actual Combat Exercise (8)

It is precisely because this actual combat exercise is of great significance to Yan Mingcheng that he must achieve victory, so he is very cautious. He also attaches great importance to the communication system.

Now Yan Mingcheng called Wu Baoquan over and asked him to ensure that the communication system was properly secured during the exercise, and that no mistakes could be made, otherwise, he would be punished.

Wu Baoquan naturally swore an oath. We will ensure the smooth flow of communication. When Yan Mingcheng heard this, he was naturally relieved. Because he has always felt that Wu Baoquan's business level is still very high. Since Wu Baoquan attaches great importance to it, of course there will be no problems.

However, in reality, this is not the case, because of the old equipment, you can't necessarily do it if you want to communicate smoothly. If the equipment is bad for you, then no one can do anything.

During this exercise, due to the obsolescence of the communications equipment, Yan Mingcheng suffered a big loss and almost lost this important game, but fortunately, with Zhao Zhongyao's help, he turned defeat into victory, and finally won this exercise.

Of course, that's for later, but I'll talk about that later.

Speaking of pre-war preparations, checking whether there is a problem with the armament and equipment is the first important preparation.

So what is the second task? It is necessary to provide logistical support. There are two main points, the first is the issue of ammunition. What to fight in a war, of course, is ammunition. No matter how good the weapons and equipment are, they also need to use ammunition. Without ammunition, all weapons and equipment are a pile of scrap metal, without a bit of power.

To fight a war, you must first have your ammunition ready, which is a must. When it comes to eating, we naturally talk about the logistical support of the soldiers. Whoever is fighting the war is fighting the soldiers. It's people who are fighting, people are iron and rice, and they are hungry for a meal.

The ancients said that when marching to war, the emphasis is on 'the soldiers and horses are not moving, and the grain and grass go first,' which means that in order to march and fight, we must first do a good job in logistics support. Fighting a war is a very physically demanding job, and if you don't have enough to eat, you have the energy to work!

Yan Mingcheng doesn't have to worry too much about this, after all, there is little chance of problems in this place, as long as the logistics director prepares enough rice.

So what is the next task? This third task is very important, it is the most important of all the exercises, and it is the second subject of the competition.

This is the construction of fortifications and positions.

This was a very important pre-war preparation, and it took the soldiers six days to complete this difficult task.

As a matter of fact, the real drill confrontation is only a day, or even a few hours. But just for these few hours, I have to prepare here for a week.

As the saying goes, three minutes on stage, three years off stage. Drills are similar to acting. The real 'actual combat' is only a few hours. But for these few hours, the equipment work of both sides of the battle will have to be carried out for many days.

The second subject of the battle between the two sides of the battle is to build fortifications and build positions.

Although the real 'actual combat' is only a few hours of the day, for the superiors, the subjects that need to assess part of the combat effectiveness are not only the hours of the 'fierce battle'.

Although those hours were the highlight of this exercise, it was the most exciting and beautiful event. It is the great climax of this exercise, and it is the most important subject that determines whether the two sides win or lose.

However, in order to comprehensively assess the combat effectiveness of the troops, the higher authorities still came up with three questions.

The first question is to march and train after coming out of the station. The second question is the construction of fortifications after entering the exercise range. The third question is the big climax of this exercise, the final 'fierce battle'.

Yan Mingcheng and Yao Hongjun both completed the first of these three questions, and the result was that Yan Mingcheng did better than Yao Hongjun. The reason why Yan Mingcheng was able to do well was due to the fact that the new vehicle equipment developed by Zhao Zhongyao not only ran fast, but also did not cause accidents, so that Yan Mingcheng easily won the first game.

But in the second question, there is no essential difference between the two sides. The construction of fortifications was carried out by manpower, and it was an important task for the soldiers to complete. This job has little to do with whether your armament is advanced or not.

This work mainly depends on the 'physical strength' of the soldiers. Is it 'steel and iron', can it withstand the baptism of blood and fire in the war?

For this work, Zhao Zhongyao could hardly help Yan Mingcheng, because this was completely a work done by the soldiers' physical strength. No matter how good the weapons and equipment are, they will not help in any way to accomplish this task.

Yan Mingcheng also knows this very well, in this competition, he is not better than Yao Hongjun, and his soldiers are not special forces selected from the whole army. Not all of them are tall, with big shoulders and round waists. They were all ordinary warriors, tall and short, fat and thin.

If Yan Mingcheng wants to win in this game, he can only give orders to the commanders of each regiment, asking them to complete the work of building fortifications as quickly as possible.

There are two things that the superiors need to evaluate this work, one is the speed of building the fortifications. The second is the quality of the fortifications.

Only fortifications that are built quickly and of good quality can be regarded as good fortifications, and the superiors will definitely praise the commanders in person. Otherwise, it will be waiting to be criticized.

In this regard, Yan Mingcheng is a little energetic and has nowhere to go, and he can't dig the fortifications himself, even if he digs it himself, it may not have much effect.

The only thing he could do was to call all the company commanders of the division together and hold a meeting. The content of this meeting was only one item, and all company commanders were asked to supervise and urge their cooking squads to cook the best meals for the soldiers, and the braised pork should be eaten every day, and the fish, vegetables, and soup should not be missing. In short, just one point, we must let the soldiers eat well, eat well, and raise the standard of food to twice what is usual. Just to give the fighters the strength to work.

After doing all this, Yan Mingcheng felt that he had done his best, and he was not very sure whether he could defeat Yao Hongjun in this fortification competition.

"Zhongyao! We won the first game! Thanks to your new vehicle equipment! But in the second game, I really don't have much confidence! We don't need a single one of our advanced weapons and equipment!"

After Yan Mingcheng did the arrangement, he came to his command post, and when he saw Zhao Zhongyao, he naturally chatted with him casually.
