In the office, Su Qiyue was talking about something with Zhao Hai and Li Ruifeng.

As the newly appointed acting brigade commander, deputy brigade commander and chief of staff of the W Brigade, these three can be said to be the most heavyweight military commanders on the side of the W Brigade Headquarters.

Compared with Zhao Hai, Li Ruifeng's importance may be a little higher.

After all, he, the chief of staff, is a brigade-level deputy on the side of the headquarters who assists the brigade commander in charge of operations and training.

Zhao Hai, on the other hand, paid more attention to the work of building troops such as logistics and equipment.

Of course, at the moment, everyone has such a common goal as the exercise, but it is not necessary to distinguish it so clearly.

As for the abilities of these two deputies, Su Qiyue has observed them these days, and he also has a general understanding.

Zhao Hai and Li Ruifeng were both born in military academies, and both have good attainments in military command.

Before they were promoted to regimental cadres, they also served as military commanders of the battalion and company below.

At the age of about 40, among the military commanders at the regimental level in the military region, he can be regarded as a representative of the Young Zhuang faction.

Of course, compared with full-time division-level cadres in their early 40s like Fan Yingming and Zhu Haipeng, the two are still inferior.

However, these two cadres are still different from the cadres of the older generation in terms of their understanding of the diversity of modern warfare and the advanced concepts of military command.

Tapping lightly on the table, Su Qiyue calmly started to speak.

"Deputy Brigade Commander Zhao and Chief of Staff, there is still a week to go, and the exercise will begin. In this last week, we can't relax in training. ”

"Understood, Brigadier Commander!"

Zhao Hai nodded again and again, "In terms of training, the chief of staff has been very tight. On my side, I also greeted Sun Kangnian, Minister of Logistics, and Liu Qizhi, Minister of Equipment. The next week is a sprint phase, and you must not relax. ”

Li Ruifeng nodded in agreement, but he didn't say much.

Compared with Zhao Hai's extroverted personality, he usually seems to be more low-key.

Seeing that neither of them had any opinions, Su Qiyue talked about another thing.

"In addition, starting today, the military commanders at the battalion and company level below will be notified to study intensively. The exact time is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ”

After a pause, Su Qiyue continued, "Of course, it is 9 o'clock, but as long as the discussion after everyone studies is more enthusiastic, the time may be postponed." ”

"The two of you will also talk to the military commanders below about this in advance."

"Yes, Brigadier General!"

After listening to Su Qiyi's story, although Zhao Hai and Li Ruifeng's faces did not change, they had some doubts in their hearts.

Before they came to serve in the W Brigade, they had long heard of the name of this Su brigade commander.

Zhao and Li absolutely have no doubts about their ability and military command level.

However, before this exercise, was it too much to let the military commanders at the battalion and company level come to study intensively every day?

After all, before the war, we still have to try to let everyone put down their burdens and relax.

Studying until 9 or 10 o'clock every day will it cause nervousness among the commanders at the battalion and company level?

Of course, Zhao Hai and Li Ruifeng will definitely not say such doubts.

In fact, these days, the two of them have already experienced the prestige of their own brigade commander in the W Brigade.

After the time of the rematch with the T Brigade was notified above, the soldiers of the entire W Brigade cheered.

In the conversation, they were almost full of confidence, feeling that their W Brigade had won this battle.

They had only one reason: Su July.

In addition, whether it is the elite of the regular troops, the armored reconnaissance battalion, the tank battalion, and the machine infantry battalion, the commanders of each battalion-level unit also have 100 percent confidence in this exercise led by their own brigade commanders.

It's as if as long as the brigade commander leads it, it will definitely not lose.

Such unprovoked self-confidence really made Zhao Hai and Li Ruifeng a little confused.

The command ability of the brigade commander, they did not doubt.

But Fan Yingming of the T Brigade is not a vegetarian.

How could the twin stars of the C Military Region be so vulnerable in the eyes of the officers and men of the W Brigade?

Of course Su Qiyue didn't know the doubts in Zhao Hai and Li Ruifeng's hearts.

After explaining the training work for the next week, he said hello to his two deputies and left first.

Standing up to see the brigade commander leave, Zhao Hai and Li Ruifeng couldn't help but glance at each other, and there was some emotion on their faces.

……

In the conference room, Su Qiyue, who was sitting in the center, pointed to the big screen behind him and nodded to Long Xiaoyun, who was one position apart from him.

Noticing the brigade commander's instructions, Long Xiaoyun quickly called up a file in his notebook, and then started playing it on the projector.

"What we are going to learn today is an exercise of the old US Army's digital troops."

After the picture appeared, Su Qiyue gave everyone an explanation.

This material is obviously incomplete, only a part of the video in between.

But the content of the video is still very shocking.

In the picture, it is supposed to be the beginning of a drill.

At this time, fighters and ground artillery were attacking the "enemy" tanks on the other side of the ridge.

In the command room on the other side, the tanker who operated the mouse stared confidently at the monitor on his lap.

After 30 seconds, the beating red fire and rising yellow sand appeared on the monitor - the tank was hit.

“OK！”

The tanker gently circles the 3 fingers of his right hand.

The comrades-in-arms behind him seemed to be accustomed to this situation.

After just one glance, they began their tasks at hand.

The footage of the battle is very short, only a dozen seconds long.

Next, there is a picture of a large-scale operation on the battlefield of the exercise.

Because it was a video shown by the media, there was not much content about the battle.

After the Chinese translation came, the text introduction was pitiful.

"This is a combat exercise conducted by the old US Army in the Mojave Desert near the California State Training Center in mid-to-late March '97."

As the picture unfolded, Su Qiyue made supplementary introductions to everyone from time to time.

"The main units participating in the exercise were the 1st Brigade of the 4th Mechanized Division of the US Army. It includes a tank battalion, a mechanized infantry battalion, a field artillery battalion, a light infantry battalion, and an engineering battalion, as well as an aviation task force, an anti-aircraft artillery company, and a chemical corps company. A communications company, an intelligence company, and a brigade reconnaissance unit formed specifically for this test. ”

"What we see now is a forward support battalion designated by the old US Army, which is responsible for the combat service support work of the brigade."

Listening to Su Qiyue's eloquent talk, Zhao Hai and Li Ruifeng, who were sitting next to him, were a little stunned.

The two of them were the highest-ranking cadres in the conference room except for Su Qiyue.

The two of them have a clear understanding of the value of the material in front of them.

It is very difficult for even the headquarters at the army group level to get these materials.

If it is delegated to the cadres below to study, at least the cadres at the regimental level will have the opportunity.

But his own brigade commander took out the materials so easily, which really made the two feel a little incredible.

"The pictures in the exercise were released by the media on the side of Lao Mei, and there was a little less information that could be obtained."

Su Qiyue continued to speak, "However, we are mainly observing and analyzing the purpose of the actions of the digital troops of the United States in the exercise, so with these pictures, it is enough." ”

After he said this, Zhao Hai and Li Ruifeng's stunned emotions finally calmed down a little.

If it was announced by the media on Lao Mei's side, it would be better.

If the materials obtained by the brigade commander through other channels, it would be somewhat inappropriate.

Letting go of the worries in their hearts, Zhao and Li, like everyone else, began to focus on the material itself.

Although the picture is a little blurry, the content can still be seen.

The exercise was attended by both the US Air Force and the Marine Corps.

F-16, "United Star" reconnaissance planes, and some unmanned reconnaissance planes all appear in the picture.

The "red" troops that participated in the exercise to "invade" the old US allies had an absolute superiority in numbers and were of excellent quality.

However, with the cooperation of the United States and the United States, especially the joint strike of the air force, the blue side still won the victory very easily.

It can be seen from the exercise that the digital force of the Laos, the United States and the blue side has a very complete range of services and arms, and almost all of them are reflected in the sea, land and air force.

Their joint operations are not just talking, but they have really brought into play the respective advantages of the three armed services.

When attacking a position that the Red side had already occupied, the Air Force's unmanned reconnaissance aircraft took the lead in locating it.

Then the F-16 air strike came in a flash.

The men of the Marine Corps, who also killed in the shortest possible time after the air strike, began the airborne strike from three points at the same time.

The army, on the other hand, stood up to the periphery of the position and tried to help the red troops, cutting off all support.

Looking at the tacit cooperation of this digital force, the officers attending the meeting were full of emotion.

When everyone was full of emotion about the content in the materials, Long Xiaoyun and Tan Xiaolin looked at Su Qiyue from time to time, with admiration in their eyes.

These two people are the most knowledgeable about network information among the cadres present.

At first glance, they saw that the material taken out by the brigade commander was synthesized from multiple video materials flowing on the Internet.

In the Internet era, it is not difficult to get some video materials.

But these are no longer among them.

In the video, some things were exposed by the Lao American media, which were obviously added with private goods.

In the jargon, it's encrypted.

can crack it all, except for his own brigade commander, I'm afraid there is no one else.

The total duration of the video is not long, and it ends after twenty minutes.

Looking at the officer below who was full of emotion, Su Qiyue smiled and stretched out his hand.

"After watching the video, let's talk about it."

"What do you think about the joint combat capability of the digital combat force of Laos and the United States, or other aspects?"

After saying this, Su Qiyue's eyes glanced at Long Xiaoyun.

"Deputy Chief of Staff Long, are you here to give everyone a start?"

Regarding the roll call of the brigade commander, Long Xiaoyun was not surprised.

In the W Brigade, she and another deputy chief of staff, Dou Zhigang, were seen as the brigade commander's right-hand men.

And because he is also the squadron leader of the wolf warrior, he naturally knows more about the foreign army.

The brigade commander asked himself to "throw bricks and lead jade", which is also the proper meaning.

"Yes, Brigadier General!"

At that moment, Long Xiaoyun did not shirk, and quickly told his opinion.

"The exercise in front of us fully embodies the spirit of the new operational program revised after the Gulf War between Laos and the United States -- killing chickens with a knife."

"Kill chickens with a knife!?"

Listening to Long Xiaoyun's narration, the first-class officers of the battalion and company below were all a little puzzled.

In everyone's cognition, this word is clearly a derogatory term.

Long Xiaoyun quickly explained what he had just said.

She said: "The so-called 'killing chickens with a knife' is Lao Mei's emphasis on forming an absolute superiority over any enemy and striking at each other with the overall strength of the three armies." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the exercise in the materials just now should be named the '21st Century Task Force' Advanced Combat Test."

"This is the first live exercise of the Laos and the United States digital troops, and it is worth knowing a lot of things."

Listening to Long Xiaoyun's narration, the battalion commanders and company commanders below finally came to their senses.

On the other side of the sitting opposite her, Dou Zhigang had a serious expression on his face.

He has always recognized Long Xiaoyun's ability.

However, it is not easy for the other side to recognize which exercise of which unit of the United States was from the materials that were intercepted in just 20 minutes.

The brigade commander valued her for not without reason.

"During the whole exercise, what I paid the most attention to was the strength of the support troops and logistics support units of Laos and the United States in joint operations."

"Under the impetus of the new military revolution, the old US Army has gradually formed a new type of army system."

"One of the main measures is to replace divisions with brigades and become basic tactical combat units with various combat detachments and support units."

"From the few images we just had, we can see it. The digital synthetic brigade of Laomei has jurisdiction over 3-4 combat battalions. On this basis, they concentrated the combat service support detachment of the current combat battalion into the brigade's forward support battalion. ”

"The brigade reconnaissance unit and forward support battalion in this test are somewhat similar to the forward support battalion in the US future plan in terms of their role and actions in the operation."

"They provide a starting point for the future information warfare of Laos and the United States, greatly improve the combat efficiency of Laos and the United States, and reflect the rationality of the future planning of Laos and the United States......

Listening to Long Xiaoyun's reasonable, well-founded and extremely high-value analysis, Zhao Hai and Li Ruifeng were silent on their faces, but they were a little ashamed in their hearts.

Speaking of which, before coming to W Brigade, these two really wanted to show themselves and make some achievements.

In the eyes of Zhao and Li, although Su Qiyue, the acting brigade commander, could not reach the level himself, it was not difficult to use his own ability to deter the cadres below.

However, as soon as today's study meeting began, Zhao Hai and Li Ruifeng had a feeling of being taken on the head.

Long Xiaoyun hadn't read the materials taken out by the brigade commander beforehand, and the two deputy brigade-level cadres certainly wouldn't doubt this.

But this deputy chief of staff has analyzed so many things with the 20-minute video material in front of him, and his ability is really amazing.

To Zhao and Li's little luck, the brigade commander did not have the idea of letting the two of them speak.

Perhaps, in his opinion, the three chiefs of the brigade headquarters are the instructors and examiners of today's study.

Instructors and examiners, of course, do not need to be assessed.
