"Comrade Changlin, are all the personnel of your exercise director department in place?"

At Army Group C headquarters, a man in his early fifties with slightly gray hair asked his deputy.

This person is Liang Feng, chief of staff of Group C Army, and he is also the commander-in-chief of this mountain combat exercise.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, the camera, recording, and statistics departments are all in place, just wait for the exercise to start!"

Ma Changlin, the deputy chief of staff who was sitting next to him, got up and replied.

"Good!"

Liang Feng stretched out his hand and pressed Ma Changlin, motioning for him to sit down.

Turning his head, Liang Feng's gaze swept over the commanders of the divisions who had just been gathered, as well as the deputy division commanders in charge of operations.

In the end, it fell on the two of them, Zhao Guodong, the commander of the T Division, and Zhang Mingyang, the deputy commander of the T Division.

"Comrade Guodong and Comrade Mingyang, this time it is the main force of your T Division that plays the role of the red side. What are your views and judgments on this exercise? ”

After listening to the chief of staff's inquiry, Zhao Guodong said reservedly: "Chief, the T Division is an infantry division, and the 702nd Regiment is an armored infantry regiment. Mountain warfare is not easy for us. ”

"Coupled with the lack of understanding of the blue side, I think the outcome of this battle is really unpredictable......"

Zhang Mingyang, who was beside him, listened to the teacher's cautious words, and he was a little disapproving.

In terms of age, Zhang Mingyang is five or six years older than the division commander Zhao Guodong.

For military exercises, he also has more experience than his own commander.

In the past, in the past military exercises, it was actually a show.

Usually, the director of the higher-level command department makes a notebook and clearly marks the tactical movements of the red side and the tactical movements of the blue side.

Then the participating troops listened to the command of the headquarters to run errands and activities, and basically finished their work.

In the end, 100 percent of the victory was for Red.

As a commander who has participated in many military exercises, Zhang Mingyang is no stranger to this.

was called to the headquarters by the chief of staff today, Zhang Mingyang didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was just coming over to go through the motions.

At the same time, it also allowed several other brother divisions and brigades in the army to have a good look at the majesty of their own T division.

"Comrade Mingyang, what do you think?"

The chief of staff's gaze fell on Zhang Mingyang again.

"Report to the chief, the combat effectiveness of the 702nd Regiment has always been the first in the T Division, although this time it is a mountain operation, which is not conducive to the play of mechanized troops. But I believe they can win this battle cleanly! ”

Listening to Zhang Mingyang's sonorous and powerful words, Zhao Guodong frowned slightly.

All along, he still has more respect for this deputy who is several years older than him.

However, he did not agree with his conservative and stubborn combat thinking.

Before this actual combat exercise in the mountains, the army had already ventilated the division, saying that it was a strict and all-round test and inspection.

It is necessary to test whether the conventional mechanized troops can confront the modern information troops in actual combat.

In other words, to put it bluntly, can the conventional mechanized troops adapt to the current war when informationization arrives?

From the information given by the army, Zhao Guodong can deduce that the 702nd Regiment, the ace of his division, is in danger in this battle.

can barely maintain a balance of power, and it is already necessary to burn high incense.

What I just said was to find a step for my 702nd regiment first, so as not to be too ugly when I fell.

But he Zhang Mingyang was good, and when he boasted about Haikou, he almost wrote the word "proud" on his face.

"Well, the courage is commendable!"

The chief of staff bowed slightly, but he didn't tease Zhang Mingyang for anything.

Turning his head, he nodded to the colonel sitting at the very end.

"Qin Yong, you are the observer in charge of the blue side troops, you can tell me!"

Qin Yong, deputy director of the Military Operations Department, was also an observer for the Blue Side unit in the exercise.

After listening to the instructions of the chief of staff, Qin Yong immediately got up and said, "Report to the chief, the War Department has already made a tactical deduction for this exercise in advance. ”

"The firepower of both sides is roughly equal; The ratio of combat numbers is two to one; The combat power ratio is 1 to 12, and the result is that the blue side wins ......"

After Qin Yong finished speaking, the smile on Zhang Mingyang's face suddenly froze.

The chief and deputy commanders of several other divisions, you look at me, I look at you, they are also a little confused.

If it weren't for Minister Qin's serious appearance, everyone would even think he was joking.

With the same firepower deployment, the number of red sides is twice as large, and the combat effectiveness is so much worse?

Is this possible?

Noticing the doubts on the faces of these division commanders and deputy division commanders under him, Liang Feng slowly opened his voice.

"Comrades, I know that such a tactical deduction may not be believed, and even think that the War Department is fooling around......"

"But what I want to say is that modern warfare is so cruel! It's not that you have a lot of people to win a war. Tacit cooperation, a perfect logistical support system, and an information-based combat mode are the fundamentals of one side's victory. ”

Liang Feng looked at Zhang Mingyang with burning eyes: "Comrade Mingyang, these ...... You'll see it soon! ”

After saying this, Liang Feng waved to an operational staff officer at the conference table and said, "Turn on the communication equipment and switch the video to the real-time picture in front." ”

……

In the newly completed Red Fang Headquarters, regiment commander Wang Qingrui and chief of staff Yang Peng were making final operational arrangements for several battalion commanders and company commanders.

"In fact, the slope of the hill here has exceeded the maximum elevation angle of our tanks."

Wang Qingrui said in his Mandarin, which is full of local accents.

"There is also a dense forest here, which has a great obstacle to the firing range of our heavy artillery...... This battle is not easy to fight! ”

After Commander Wang finished speaking, the three battalion commanders and several company commanders all nodded yes.

Gao Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "We are an armored reconnaissance company, and there is no maximum elevation angle for people!" ”

Wang Qingrui glanced at Gao Cheng approvingly, turned his head and pointed to the side of the sand table and said: "The impact tank is used as a fire cover, the first battalion, the third battalion, and the seventh reconnaissance company, as the vanguard, break through the first layer of defense of the other party as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!"

Several battalion commanders and company commanders responded one after another.

"Everyone must know in their hearts that we are facing a very professional blue army this time, and we cannot underestimate the enemy in the slightest!"

When the commander of the first battalion heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "A professional beaten troops, right?" ”

"Wrong!"

Chief of Staff Yang Peng Zhengrong said: "The main task of this unit is to find the weaknesses of friendly forces. Targeted training is carried out according to their weaknesses. So that during the exercises, a fatal blow was delivered to the opposing side. ”

"To put it bluntly, this is a professional fault-finding force!"

After the chief of staff said this, several battalion commanders and company commanders were a little skeptical.

Wang Qingrui snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and finally reminded: "As far as I know, the combat methods of this blue army are very lacking. In our military district, there are already four heavily armed troops planted in their hands! ”

Sweeping his eyes to the subordinates around him, Wang Qingrui finally said: "I hope that we will not become the fifth!" ”
