Chapter 352: The Origin of the Mission (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"The Blues?" Gao Cheng asked.
You must know that in the early confrontation exercises of our army, there would be red and blue on both sides of the exercise. Often, the Blues will be on the enemy's side, and the Red Army will be our troops. However, in the course of the exercise, it is often because there is a script, which leads to fewer wins and more losses for the blue army, which is just good-looking.
As a result, often in the course of the exercise, many units do not want to participate as a blue force. First, it can't test the combat effectiveness of the troops, and second, it has to be beaten, and no one wants to be this stepping stone.
In the past two years, there have been moves in this regard for the reform of the armed forces. The "professional" Blues are also in the tactical base, and there will be a Blues maniac behind them, and "capturing someone alive" is synonymous with him.
But now the chief asked Gao Cheng and his troops to be the Blue Army, and Gao Cheng's first thought was to let them be targets. This is not his character, drills are okay, but he can't do "purposeful" drills.
"Yes, the Blues. The Red Army is the commander of the Wang regiment and their brigade with whom you have communicated, how can you be interested? The chief asked with a smile.
"The chief, I can ask if this Blues is not just a beaten character. If so, our battalion might not have had such an honor. "Gao Cheng doesn't care if you arranged it from above, he doesn't want to play this with someone.
Hearing Gao Cheng say this, the chief was also stunned, what kind of role was beaten, the exercise was a confrontation between the two sides, how could he be beaten. But the chief is also an old military warrior, and he instantly thought of Gao Cheng's idea.
"You slippery head, do you know how many people will trouble you after you say this?" The chief said solemnly.
Understanding is understanding, but it is necessary to let him know that words cannot be said casually. Although this model has been proven to be problematic, existence is reasonable, and in that era, in that period, people's thinking was like this, which was political correctness.
You can't take some modern thinking and say that the martyrdom of people in ancient times destroyed human nature, you can't do that. This is unscientific, and progress is also progress on the basis of the original, otherwise where will progress come from.
"Hehe, didn't you just say that right in front of the chief?" Gao Cheng instantly lowered his eyebrows and began to pretend to be his grandson, that look, a worthy 702 true biography.
"Alright, don't play pathetic with me here. You are also the commander of a battalion, and you will have to think about what you say and do in the future. I think Chief Gao has also taught you this kind of thing, so take it as a warning. The chief said earnestly.
"Yes, Chief." Gao Cheng immediately straightened up.
"I know what you mean, but this time it's not what you think." The chief explained.
Gao Cheng was relieved when he heard the chief's explanation. It's not that he has to disobey orders, it's just that for the kind of "scripted" exercises like he said, the combat effectiveness of the troops cannot be tested at all.
It's like the leader of the countryside to inspect, the route, the personnel, and even the villagers to talk to have been arranged, and you want to see the actual situation, that's impossible.
"Oh, and what is the purpose of this exercise?" Gao Cheng asked.
"In fact, this is not a complete exercise confrontation, but a winter training conducted by the other side. The purpose of the training is to strengthen the actual combat training of the Marine Corps and improve the Marine Corps' long-range mobility and all-domain combat capabilities. The chief explained.
"You know, our Marines were formed relatively late. At present, there are only two strong brigades, not to mention the 1st Brigade, as a Marine Corps transformed into an army unit, its combat style has strong army characteristics. Especially for its purpose of becoming an army, the 1st Brigade has more of a special forces fighting style, and the overall attack and defense are slightly insufficient. "The chief also seems to have an understanding, and he analyzed it with Gao Cheng here.
"As for the one you are going to face this time, the 164th Brigade. Although the army has been formed for a shorter time, its combat effectiveness and fighting style are very different. From sea to land, that's their guiding principle. Therefore, this time their winter training camp is set in Korla, Xinjiang Province. The chief said.
"That, chief. I would like to ask, is the Blues just one of our units this time? Gao Cheng asked.
It's not that Gao Cheng shirked it, hearing about the training location, and the current time. Gao Cheng was a little trembling, and this time in Xinjiang Province was much harsher than in the inland areas.
This mission can be said to be a test for their battalion, a cross-regional, time zone, and climate exercise, which is a challenge.
"Of course not, the local troops will cooperate. In addition to the Marine Corps, the training camp also included some troops of the Naval Special Operations Regiment and the Marine War College. Therefore, your battalion is part of the Blue Army, and the local special forces brigade will also cooperate. The chief said.
This has already been able to reach the level of a campaign-level exercise confrontation, and the Marine Corps has strengthened the special operations regiment plus part of the strength of the Marine Warfare Academy, and the number of troops is only much more than that of a division.
Then the corresponding Blues will definitely be dispatched on such a scale. Of course, if they were all troops like Group A, they might not be used that much.
"Chief, you're testing our battalion." Although Gao Cheng has confirmed in his heart that he is going, he still has to be hypocritical. It's not that he's afraid of failure, or he'll see what benefits he can get. For example, the talents of the information brigade of the military department, for example, a certain senior staff member.
"It's not your kid's joy, otherwise why are there so many troops in the country, so many garrison troops in Xinjiang Province, you have to be transferred across regions to be the Blue Army? Do you think this is something we can do with our mouths, money, comrade brother. "The chief doesn't care about Gao Cheng's hypocrisy, and points to Gao Cheng's pain points.
"Hehe, how can it be my reason. Isn't it my army's tradition to learn more about our army's advanced experience? Gao Cheng defended his actions.
"Then this time you have the opportunity, I hope you can learn from the advanced experience of others in this exercise." The chief will also follow the trend, since Gao Cheng said so, then what else is there to say, it's up to you.
Gao Cheng was speechless, why is it so difficult to get benefits now. I think he was the most popular cub in the army back then, but now you call him comrade brother, ruthless.
"Yes, chief, you won't be disappointed." What should be guaranteed is still guaranteed, and besides, this is what Gao Cheng wants.
"Okay, you can also find out about the other party's situation. Also, the equipment of the troops is inspected. After all, this is the first time you have faced this kind of environment, and it is a training for each other, and the same is true for you. The chief explained.
Indeed, as the chief said, the environment has a great impact on the performance of the troops. Otherwise, why the other marines want to go to Xinjiang Province for training is not only to inspect the troops' ability to transfer to the field, but also to test the troops' ability to adapt to the environment.
From the southeast coast of the motherland to the northwest region, this is not only a change in geography, but also a test of the adaptability of equipment, the ability of tactical coordination, and the combat capability of the troops and the entire region.
At the headquarters of the 164th Brigade of the Navy, brigade commander Chen Changhua was listening to the report of his subordinates.
"Haifeng, as the main force in this exercise, in addition to giving full play to our spirit, we must also reflect our combat quality and tactical ability." Colonel Chen said.
In this exercise, their marines can be said to have done their best. Cross-regional exercises are inherently difficult, and there are many things that need to be reconciled, and the local government must agree to it in addition to the local troops.
They had originally planned to select an elite unit within the local garrison to be their opponent in the confrontation during the exercise. However, as the backbone of the Marine Corps, Regiment Commander Wang Haifeng Wang strongly recommended a unit, saying that they had outstanding combat effectiveness and were extremely similar to the combat style of their Marine Corps.
In addition to the fact that it does not have surface combat capabilities, it is basically the second Marine Corps. This made Colonel Chen instantly interested, as a soldier, he must have a comparative heart.
He also inquired about the unit that Wang Haifeng said, after all, it was all military affairs, and the news could still be inquired.
It's okay not to ask, but when you ask, it startles him. This unit has only been in force for more than a year, and although it is composed of elite companies selected from the Yenching Military Region, its combat capability is really extraordinary.
It is not without precedent that it is not possible to give full play to the maximum combat power by forming a few elite units into a single force. In the past, the synthetic battalion was like this, and when it encountered a task, several units were formed into a composite force, but its combat ability to cooperate really could not bear to look at it directly.
But this unit is different, it has just been established for less than a year and has challenged the special brigade of their military region, and it is said that it has a good record. Later, they also participated in international joint exercises, and they also participated in Olympic security.
Chen Changhua believed that there must be something special about this unit, otherwise the leaders would not have held them in such a high esteem. Moreover, this unit has a lot of similarities with their Marine Brigade, and if they can fight against it, they will definitely be able to learn a lot or find a lot of problems in themselves.
Therefore, they applied through the head of the navy, hoping that this unit could be their opponent in this exercise.
It was a difficult process, but in the end, it was made. This time, Chen Changhua wanted to see what characteristics their unit had and whether it could match their current reputation.
