On the periphery of the training ground of the fifth battalion, just after the lunch break in the afternoon, the commanders of the battalions of the 169th Brigade drove here one after another to gather.

I want to see how confident the Fifth Battalion is in applying for the battle so quickly.

The most test of simulated attack is the ability to coordinate, eight companies, six to participate in the operation, even if the helicopter squadron does not play, there must be five companies to cooperate, the engineer detachment is responsible for the periphery, this difficulty for other composite battalions that have been formed, naturally not a problem.

But for the fifth battalion, the difficulty is too great.

As soon as Shan Chao, the commander of the first battalion, came to the periphery of the training ground of the fifth battalion, Wang Lingen, the commander of the second battalion, walked over from a distance and said with a smile: "Old Dan, you can't sit still?"

"The commander of the fifth battalion is a deputy battalion transferred from your first battalion, and he is bold enough, so I will say that Long Fei has no problem serving as the commander of the fifth battalion."

"No, it's only been more than a week since it was formed, and I dared to go to the brigade headquarters and ask the chief to apply for a tough battle, which is more courageous than we were at that time."

Shan Chao frowned, several of them have the courage of a hammer, from the first battalion to the fourth battalion, when it was formed, the battalion commander was Xu Wenqian, the chief of staff of the brigade headquarters.

In other words, the entire 169 Brigade, except for the brigade staff, does not have the ability to lead a composite battalion from scratch.

Originally, the formation of the five battalions failed, and that was also because the establishment was too large and there were no suitable personnel to take charge, so the chief of staff could not be delegated to the battalion again to serve as the battalion commander.

The scale of the establishment this time is larger than the last time, and it is not reasonable for Shan Chao to apply for a tough battle in a short period of time.

Looking at the chariots that were ready to go in the distance, the visual impact brought by more than two hundred chariots was definitely not comparable to dozens of them.

More than 1,000 fighters were scattered in a square formation, standing behind the chariot, waiting for combat orders.

Seeing this scene, Shan Chao waved his hand and ignored the commander of the second battalion, he didn't know that the command of the fifth battalion was not in the hands of the company commanders this time, and even the command structure was not in the training ground.

I thought that the fifth battalion and the first battalion were using the same model, staring closely at the chariot group, and then looking at the warrior team, the worry in my heart became heavier and heavier.

The Fifth Battalion spent a lot of effort in establishing the military region to enhance the combat strength of the 169 Brigade as a whole.

It's good to be motivated to apply rashly, but it's not the right way to do it if you blindly seek speed.

Xu Wenqian, chief of staff of the brigade, was also staring at the training ground from a distance, looking forward to the performance of the fifth battalion this time, his brows were tightly locked, and his deep worry was overflowing, obviously looking forward to it at the same time, but he was not too optimistic about this battle, thinking that the fifth battalion was too hasty.

Last year, one of the composite brigades of the 78 Group Army received the first batch of orders for the transformation and construction of the military region, allowing them to form a new type of composite battalion.

The history of synthetic warfare has a long history, and the concept of synthetic warfare appeared several decades ago, but at that time, the national strength was slightly weaker and could not support such a plan.

It was only more than 10 years ago that various composite units began to appear in the army one after another, but they were not popularized throughout the army, and it was not until after the division was transformed into a brigade that it was implemented on a large scale.

On the whole, it is not easy to go all the way, but no unit dares to apply for a tough battle like the Fifth Battalion in a week to see the ability to cooperate and cooperate.

It's really bold.

Even Xu Wenqian is not very optimistic about this plan.

And at this time.

The operational command room of the battalion headquarters of the fifth battalion.

The atmosphere here is no more relaxed than it is at the training ground.

More than a dozen network engineers and more than 30 staff officers are already in place in front of the computer.

Chen Ming stood in front of the command system, and the high-altitude drone had already projected the picture on the training ground onto the big screen.

Everyone also saw the crowd of onlookers through the screen, saw hundreds of chariots ready to go, and saw more than a thousand soldiers ready to go.

"Are you ready?" Chen Ming asked in a deep voice.

"Report, the comprehensive directing and directing station has been tested, and combat instructions can be issued in real time."

"Report, the battalion simulation command system has been built."

"Report, even the simulation of the command system has been built."

"The platform of the combat attack and defense system has been tested."

“.”

As the reports came to Chen Ming's ears, his brain also began to work rapidly, how to fight the tough battle, the company commanders had already seen it.

It's very simple, just use a hill on the training ground as the enemy's headquarters and attack it.

However, the attack is not a random attack, and all combat units must cooperate and advance in a coordinated manner, and there must not be the slightest mistake.

The battalion commander Du Longfei stood next to him and looked at it with a serious face, and the instructor Zhang Jintao also frowned, and his palms were stretched out and clenched, indicating that his heart was extremely uncalm.

are all nervous, only Chen Ming is the calmest.

Eyes moved away from the big screen, turned to look at the director's desk: "Pass my order, the whole battalion began to load the exercise ammunition, and five minutes later, the battle officially began." ”

"Summons, start loading the exercise ammunition, and officially start the battle in five minutes."

Accompanied by Chen Ming's instructions, issued through the director's desk, the soldiers who were originally neatly lined up on the training ground all heard the order from the wireless headphones.

More than a thousand people acted at the same time.

The armored infantry company, which does not need to equip the armored vehicle with artillery shells, pulls the backbone personnel to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the combat vehicle.

In offensive and defensive battles, armored vehicles are responsible for protection and transportation, and their firepower delay is too high to have the ability to fight a close battle.

The busy and orderly picture was all seen by the officers who came to see the excitement.

The commander of the first battalion, Shan Chao, nodded slightly, the worry on his face just now faded a lot, although it is only the stage of loading ammunition at present, but every company can act quickly and in an orderly manner, which already has a certain combat effectiveness.

However, in terms of coordination, it still depends on the actual action before drawing conclusions.

Five minutes later, all personnel were ready to go.

Chen Ming began to give instructions.

"All companies of the battalion are ready for battle, the obstacle breaking vehicles of the engineering detachment are at the forefront, the ground guidance column of the armored infantry company is open the way, and the wheeled armored vehicles are opening a 500-meter protective circle at the outermost stage and advancing in a fan shape."

"After the artillery company is in charge, the tank company drives the main battle tank to follow the armored vehicle."

"The support company, the command vehicle of the support company and the reconnaissance operation vehicle are located in the middle of the protective circle, and they set off according to the formation."

"Support company, reconnoiter the road ahead."

With the command podium conveying orders.

Five battalions, more than two hundred combat vehicles quickly started and opened the battle line.

The engineering detachment combined minesweepers and obstacle breakers quickly maneuvered to the forefront of the combat vehicles.

The ground guidance of the armored infantry company followed closely the minesweeper and began to advance.

The wheeled armor fanned out and followed the guide closely.

Medial.

The main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and mortars all began to be launched in an orderly manner.

Dozens of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were lifted off to ensure that they crossed all the vehicles in the front row and put all the pictures on the forward route to the command vehicle.

On the training ground, due to the start of the chariots, the prelude kicked off, and the sky was full of smoke and dust, and it took only five minutes for more than 200 chariots to complete the arrangement.

"Let's go!"

Boom, the training ground shook, and hundreds of combat vehicles were launched according to the previously prepared queue.

The offensive and defensive battle has officially begun.

Chen Ming's eyes were firmly fixed on the picture that was put back from the training ground, and he was impeccable in this regard for the control of the company's chariots and the changes in the lineup.

After traveling a few hundred meters.

According to the feedback screen of the drone, the support company immediately simulated the specific coordinates of the enemy's high ground and transmitted it to each company.

The battalion headquarters operational command receives enemy coordinates.

Chen Ming began to give instructions in an orderly manner.

"Artillery company, aiming at enemy heights, artillery fire communication jamming bombs."

"Artillery companies, support companies strike at target points, armored infantry companies, tank companies charge."

In a flash.

Dozens of electromagnetic jamming bombs were launched into the air to bomb the simulated enemy troops.

In the rear, anti-aircraft artillery and truck guns locked on to the positions of the enemy troops detected by the support company.

A salvo of shells.

Boom, the sound of violent bombings caused billowing smoke and dust, covering the entire high ground.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ming simulated the enemy's air defense arrangement and dispatched enemy helicopters to attack from the southeast corner.

When the special reconnaissance detachment learned of the enemy's dispatch, it simultaneously interfered with the enemy's radar detection, and between the gaps in this interference, the support company conveyed the specific coordinates of the enemy's helicopter to the support company.

The anti-aircraft guns of the support company locked the position and opened fire.

There was no mistake in the coordination of the first round of the battle, and Chen Ming waved his hand: "Pass the order, simulate the appearance of twenty infantry combat vehicles and thirty main battle tanks on the enemy's high ground." ”

"Simulate the appearance of enemy troops, and each company is ready for battle."

While the first round of the offensive went smoothly, the director's order was sent to the companies.

There are enemy infantry vehicles and tanks to meet you.

received orders, although there was no news from the battalion headquarters that Chen Ming commanded to respond.

The companies of the 5th Battalion still reacted in the shortest possible time, and the obstacle breaking vehicles of the engineer detachment immediately retreated from the front row, the wheeled armored vehicles shifted their positions and opened a gap in the front, and the main battle tanks and truck guns accelerated their speed and pushed up to the front in turn, withstanding the enemy's attack and carrying out fire strikes.

The support company in the rear transmits the position of the enemy's simulated tank to the support company through the drone, and the coordinates are exposed, and in an instant, the support company's side, anti-aircraft guns, and howitzers, immediately lock on the position of the enemy's combat vehicle.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

When the virtual target is destroyed.

Armored infantry companies, tank companies, artillery batteries have moved to the foot of the enemy high mountains.

The infantry detachments of the three companies came out of the combat vehicles, carrying portable artillery, and the infantry cooperated with the wheeled armored vehicles to maneuver, using the hull as a cover, and carried out high-speed mobile individual fire strikes against the enemy's high ground in the distance.

When the artillery company maneuvered to the foot of the mountain, the whole company stopped advancing and took up the task of suppressing fire at the foot of the mountain, while the armored infantry company and the tank company continued to advance and occupy the enemy high ground step by step.

Chen Ming has been standing in the battalion headquarters operations command room, watching, leading, and fighting the whole battle.

Accompanied by infantry detachments were the first to reach the enemy heights.

A tough battle is over.

Battalion Commander Du Longfei's serious expression slowly melted away, revealing a smile, and instructor Zhang Jintao's clenched fists slowly stretched out, and he let out a sigh of relief.

Although the simulated battle is simple, it can have particularly high requirements for armored infantry companies, artillery companies, tank companies, support companies, support companies, engineering detachments, and special reconnaissance detachments.

Close cooperation must be achieved.

The support company should discover the enemy's coordinates at the first time, the special operations detachment should interfere with it, delay the enemy's reconnaissance and attack, support the company to build an air defense system, the artillery company to attack from a distance, and the tank company to attack at close range.

The sapper detachment guarantees all the logistics, it looks simple, it sounds simple, as long as one of the links fails.

The whole battlefield will be a mess.

The two laughed heartily, and the entire fifth battalion combat command room, more than 30 staff officers, and more than 20 network engineers all had smiles on their faces.

It's not easy.

Even if the simulated battle against the enemy is just simulated, it does not have any lethality, and it does not even have any ability to fight back.

No matter how the companies of the fifth battalion fought, they could not lose.

But after all, the simulation is not about winning or losing in the end, but about the cooperation between the companies, and now it is clear that there is no problem in terms of cooperation.

It really preliminarily played the power of synthetic battalion coordination.

Only Chen Ming stood in front of the big screen, silently watching the picture dropped by the high-altitude drone, the infantry detachment that had captured the enemy's high ground was hugging each other excitedly and sharing the fruits of victory.

Chen Ming was not unhappy.

It's this kind of result, which is the outcome that should have happened after he had been planning for so long.

It's just a matter of getting to expectations faster.

This battle was not so much fought by the soldiers of the fifth battalion, but rather by the staff officers of the battalion headquarters and the network engineers led by Chen Ming.

Because he dictated the simulated combat effectiveness of all enemy troops, issued by the General Staff, and then the details of the battle and the way to meet the battle, he also came to give advice and reach each company through the director's audience.

Even if this kind of battle is won, it does not mean that each company has the ability to fight together.

Still need to practice more.

"Haha, Lao Chen, you still have the courage, if it weren't for today's simulated battle, I really didn't know that our fifth battalion had initially gained combat effectiveness."

"Okay, my heart finally doesn't have to hang." Du Longfei ran over and grinned, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

"Yes, if Lao Chen didn't have to arrange this simulated battle, I think it would be at least two months before I could try it, this way of first having combat effectiveness and then running in can indeed boost morale." Instructor Zhang Jintao also said with a smile on the side.

"Well, it's a success." Chen Ming nodded.

Looking at the screen, the officers who stayed at the training ground to watch the battle began to leave in the car, and if they guessed correctly, they should have come to the battalion headquarters.

Du Longfei went to the brigade headquarters to report at that time, and did not say how to command this battle, but only said that he would fight a battle and try to run in.

The officers who came to see the excitement didn't know that the battalion commander, instructors, and the core command team were not there in the command vehicle of the training ground.

Now it should be found that something is wrong, the battle is over, but I don't see the battalion commander's command, if I can't find it again, it will be too outdated.

Chen Ming smiled when he saw this scene, come on, the way the five battalions train will be known by other battalions sooner or later, anyway, he didn't plan to play simulations all the time.

Just take advantage of this time to see if you can make an appointment with other battalions to have a confrontation.

The kind of light composite battalion of the third battalion and the fourth battalion, Chen Ming is not interested in fighting them, the strength is too poor, the whole battalion is composed of three infantry detachments, and the infantry combat vehicles equipped are all light and can be transported by helicopter for long distances.

In addition to the three infantry detachments, there are also tank companies, fire companies, and helicopter squadrons, this kind of formation is placed in front of the five battalions, even if they command with their eyes closed, Chen Ming has the confidence to crush them.

The configurations are different, and there is no comparison.

He wanted to fight with a battalion, the 169th Brigade currently has the strongest firepower and the most equipped battalion.

However, according to the current situation of the five battalions, it will be a bit difficult to apply directly, after all, one battalion plus five battalions, there are more than 2,000 people, and it is impossible for the brigade headquarters to use such a large loss to meet the needs of this side because of a single application.

In the final analysis, the foundation of the five battalions is too shallow.

It depends on how the battalion commander applies for this.

Chen Ming thought for a moment, looked at Du Longfei with a smile, and was about to dig a pit for him and ask him to go to the brigade headquarters to apply for an application.

Strive to be able to obtain the consent of the brigade headquarters.

"Battalion commander, this simulation has indeed exceeded our expectations, and the coordination has been done very well."

"However, battalion commander, have you ever thought that in the process of simulating the battle, it seems that each company has the combat strength of a synthetic battalion."

"But if we replace this unsuspecting single unit with a guarded simulated synthetic battalion unit, what is our chance of victory?"

Simulated Synthesis Camp ?!!

Du Longfei shook his head, he hadn't understood Chen Ming's mind yet, but he also knew that even if he had confidence in the Fifth Battalion, he would almost be able to defeat the simulated synthetic battalion.

Just now, Chen Ming just simulated a few helicopters, a few tanks and infantry combat vehicles.

In the face of this kind of lineup, more than 200 combat vehicles of the fifth battalion, even if they are forcibly pressed over, they can be crushed without cooperation.

After all, just now we just looked at coordination, firepower coordination, and whether each company can give full play to its own strength.

If the enemy forces fighting are prepared, it is impossible to wait for the five battalions to be assembled, equipped with ammunition, and the battle will start from the very beginning.

looked at Chen Ming thoughtfully, as if he was preparing the next step.

Du Longfei grinned and said: "What, Lao Chen, don't be too demanding, you can't become fat in one bite, it is already unexpected that the fifth battalion can reach this level of coordination within a week." ”

"As for simulating whether the opponent is a synthetic battalion, it is still necessary to take it step by step and fight a few more simulated offensive and defensive battles."

"It's not good to just play simulations, our battalion headquarters and the companies below won't really realize how powerful a synthetic battalion of the same size is, after all, there is pressure to be motivated." Chen Ming smiled and looked at the battalion commander with burning eyes.

"What do you mean?" Facing this kind of gaze, Du Longfei frowned, and finally felt that Chen Ming was digging a pit for him step by step.

Chen Ming's thinking is different from that of these people, and he has never sought to be steady and steady, step by step.

The idea of having combat effectiveness first and then running in was simply unrealistic in the army before.

It is equivalent to a new recruit entering the army, and he has nothing to do, so he first takes a gun and fights the enemy.

Pondering the experience of being a soldier from the battle.

It's just that when you are fighting, you wear a radio headset on your head, and someone directs how to shoot, how to aim, how to fight, and how to retreat after the battle.

Who can adapt to this mindset from the beginning?

Maybe the model of the five battalions is not as exaggerated as the example of recruits, but the thinking is like this.

"Nothing." Chen Ming saw the slightly vigilant eyes of the battalion commander, and said happily: "Battalion commander, or next month, in the middle of the month, I will apply for a confrontation with the first battalion to test the combat capability of the fifth battalion."

"Only in this way can the combat progress on our side be fast, not to mention that you also know the establishment of the first battalion, and you also know their combat habits, so we can study the details of the battle a month in advance."

"During the confrontation, we can also rely on the simulated force generator to simulate the strength of a battalion and use it to fight against us, and a month should be enough to find the weakness of a battalion."

"Fight with a battalion?"

Du Longfei stared, and he didn't dare to answer this question.

It is true that he was transferred from the deputy battalion of the first battalion, but it was precisely because of this that he knew the gap between the first battalion and the fifth battalion, which was not comparable at all.

The newly formed new battalion, and the old strong battalion confrontation, this is not today's battle, it is difficult, a battalion from the commander to the soldier, that is experienced in a hundred battles, has its own thinking, will be targeted into the battle.

The difficulty is not low.

No matter how much simulation there is, it's useless, it's a real confrontation.

Du Longfei didn't dare to respond immediately.

But at this time, the chief of staff of the brigade headquarters, who was watching the bustle outside just now, and the commander of the first and second battalions found the command room of the fifth battalion.

A group of people walked in directly and happened to hear Chen Ming's proposal just now.
