There were vehicles from the brigade headquarters here, and the arrival of the first battalion was almost unimpeded, and Wang Junwei did not arrange for them to go to the training ground, but went directly to the vehicle and artillery field.

Getting off the car, Wang Junwei pointed to the rows of heavy chariots in the field, and said with a serious look and a slight pride in his face: "Chen Ming."

"Here."

"This is the vehicle artillery yard of the first battalion, you can see the weapon configuration here."

"The first battalion was created relatively early, and it is inferior to the fifth battalion in terms of innovation, but in terms of heavy firepower, it is definitely more advantageous than the fifth battalion."

Chen Ming's eyes followed the direction of the brigade commander, and turned his head to look at the 20 99A main battle tanks parked in the distance, as well as the Type 04A infantry fighting vehicles parked side by side next to him.

These heavy armor are the vanguard of the assault and have a strong sense of oppression on the battlefield.

Just these have exceeded the configuration of five battalions of heavy fire, don't look at this thing is bulky, fighting encounters and storming fortifications, it can basically carry out intensive fire strikes against strong field fortifications and fortresses within a radius of 40 kilometers.

There are also Type 07 122mm self-propelled howitzers, Type 11 40-tube 122mm modular rocket launchers, and then equipped with the Red Arrow-10 anti-tank missile system, when the air defense operation or continues to advance forward, the whole process is accompanied by the Hongqi-17 field air defense system, and the Type 09 double 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns provide air cover.

This is simply a mobile king eight shells, whether it is attacked from the periphery or from the air, it is basically impossible to break it by relying on the strength of a battalion.

What's more, inside the Type 04A infantry fighting vehicle, it can also carry flying individual anti-aircraft missiles.

With so many arrangements, it is simply unrealistic to fight with them in intensity and frontal, and his tactical arrangement is correct, and he can only delay.

Otherwise, the heavy battalions would have additional support, and in wartime or during large-scale exercises, they would be able to obtain air fire support from helicopters such as the Wuzhi-10 and Wuzhen-19 helicopters of the army aviation brigade of the group army.

It can also obtain long-range cover with heavy firepower such as 300/370mm long-range rocket artillery systems, Type 05 155mm tracked self-propelled howitzers or SH-15 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzers.

On the frontal battlefield, if you encounter a heavy battalion of this configuration, according to the current strength of the five battalions, it is indeed impossible to fight, let alone another month of training, and it is enough to train for another half a year.

Reloaded for medium-sized.

That's a big gap.

Chen Ming looked around, the establishment of the first battalion was indeed very basic, and it was formed according to the scale of the synthetic battalion in previous years, and he had learned about all of this from the battalion commander Du Longfei.

There are two armored companies, two tank companies, a firepower company, and a support company, a total of six companies, and the number of people is about 800.

The fire company resembles an artillery company of the fifth battalion, two self-propelled mortar platoons, an anti-tank platoon, a portable surface-to-air missile platoon, a sniper squad.

The engineering detachment of the support company and the fifth battalion is almost the same, consisting of a repair platoon, a transport platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, an engineer platoon, a communications platoon, and a rescue platoon.

Don't look at the scale of less than 800 people, this kind of main combat battalion that has become self-contained, once it arrives at the scene, it is the king of the land where God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.

It's tricky!!

Chen Ming walked around the artillery field and sat down with the corresponding chariots.

From the point of view of firepower, the first battalion has almost no flaws in the frontal and long-range aspects, and the only way to defeat them is to slip first and then die.

But not absolutely.

Chen Ming thought about it, the speed of maneuvering of the heavy composite battalion is slow, very slow, compared to the fifth battalion, their reconnaissance can only rely on the JWP series artillery school firing drones of the firepower company, as well as the vehicle-mounted reconnaissance drones of the support support company, there are very few hand-held ones, because even if they are dropped, the speed of maneuver cannot keep up.

What's more, the reloading battalion did not rely on them to obtain all kinds of reconnaissance information.

On the battlefield, real-time information is shared jointly.

But in a one-on-one situation, there is no such source of joint sharing.

It seems that it is necessary to set up an anti-drone squad in the support company, let the personnel of the special investigation detachment go over to cooperate, and once the war starts, with the skills of the special investigation personnel, the reconnaissance capability of the first battalion can be defeated first.

Otherwise, you can't fight.

Chen Ming pondered and laughed slowly, if he can't fight, it doesn't mean that he can't fight, if he can't attack with fire, he will scatter his firepower to fight, anyway, there are many people in the five battalions, and the consumption of fighting can be eaten.

Soldiers do not get tired of deceit, there is no difference between high and low tactics, and winning is the last word, and this method is feasible.

Wang Junwei originally brought Chen Ming over, he wanted him to see the gap, no need to look at the cooperation, the cooperation of the old strong battalion will not be bad, but he didn't expect his method, not only did he not see Chen Ming retreating,

Instead, he was amused?? A man stood there grinning.

What is this kid pondering?

Wang Junwei was about to ask him what he thought after reading the equipment of the first battalion, when a military vehicle quickly drove towards them.

It was Shan Chao, the commander of the first battalion, who was busy convening a meeting at the battalion headquarters to study the training plan in the past few days and make targeted adjustments.

The 1st Battalion was no exception.

As an old strong battalion, they will not underestimate any opponent, especially a newly formed unit like the Fifth Battalion, the lion fights the rabbit and does his best, and Shan Chao will not really be so careless.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the meeting, he received a message from the sentry at the vehicle artillery field that the brigade commander had arrived.

So he hurried over.

Shan Chao got out of the car and saw that the two leaders of the brigade headquarters were there, including the chief staff officer of the fifth battalion, and hurriedly came to Wang Junwei and Xu Guoyang to salute and said, "Brigade commander, political commissar, why are you here?"

"There is a meeting discussion going on in the camp."

"Well, it's about fighting against the Fifth Battalion, right?" Wang Junwei asked with a smile.

What he values most is the benefit of Shan Chao, and he is more cautious about everything, rather than Chen Ming choosing the first battalion, it is better to choose the second battalion.

Comparatively speaking, the strength of the second battalion is slightly inferior to that of the first battalion.

The formation time is still a year late, and the ability to fight in all aspects can reduce the pressure on the five battalions.

"Yes, brigade commander, in the afternoon, Chief of Staff Xu of the brigade headquarters determined that the fifth battalion and the first battalion would fight a confrontation in a month."

"I'm discussing with the comrades of the camp party committee."

"Is there a result?" Wang Junwei asked with a smile.

"Not yet." Shan Chao's truthful response, it is indeed not, and the fifth battalion is not a formed unit, so there is no way to include their overall strength in the scope of analysis.

It is much more difficult to analyze them one by one according to their formation, and then record all the tactics they may use.

Du Longfei, the commander of the fifth battalion, went out from them, and he was very familiar with the commander of the first battalion, and the methods commonly used in combat on their side did not need to be analyzed by the fifth battalion.

You can take it as an example at any time, but what makes Shan Chao distressed is that from the battalion party committee to the general staff, no one knows what method Chen Ming will use, and he will definitely not fight hard in the general direction.

However, there are many kinds of delaying tactics, such as fighting logistics, reconnaissance, and attacking their command system.

The main combat strength of the composite battalion comes from the fire support and information sharing of friendly and neighboring units, especially heavy equipment, and it does not have the self-contained and air-space integrated offensive means of the medium-sized reinforced amphibious composite battalion.

The current first battalion and the fifth battalion are like turtles and cats, when they don't know the size of the cat, the turtle doesn't dare to move, in case this cat will have more work, directly holding the turtle and throwing it on the soldering iron, fighting a short-range war of attrition, just a simple consumption can consume them down.

Although Shan Chao does not think that the fifth battalion currently has this kind of strength, it cannot be unguarded.

"Haha."

Wang Junwei looked at Shan Chao's distressed expression and couldn't help laughing.

waved to Chen Ming, who was still studying the chariot in the distance, this kid, the battalion commander of the other people has come over, and he is still pulling other people's equipment and looking at it.

I'm afraid I don't know that he came to investigate in advance.

Hearing the shout, Chen Ming quickly responded and ran over to this side, although he had not communicated with Shan Chao, but he had seen him in the command room of the fifth battalion headquarters in the afternoon, which was not a stranger.

"Hello Battalion Commander." Chen Ming walked over and saluted with a smile.

"Hello, Comrade Chen Ming, I've heard of you for a long time, but I didn't expect to give me a big gift just after I came, haha."

"The first battalion is ready to fight at any time, Comrade Chen Ming, on behalf of the soldiers of the whole battalion, I welcome the confrontation and challenge of the fifth battalion."

Hehe!!

It's a war book.

Chen Ming smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, Battalion Commander, we will also go all out, and we will definitely not insult the reputation of the first battalion, since we dare to make a request for confrontation." ”

"Then we will naturally give 100% of our spirit to deal with this battle."

"Okay, haha, brigade commander, since Staff Officer Chen is here, do you want to visit the combat command room of our first battalion and see the habits of previous operations."

"Today I saw their coordinated battle at the training ground of the fifth battalion, which was very exciting, but the confrontation is that the two units jointly promote development, and they know each other and win every battle."

Shan Chao made an invitation.

Wang Junwei didn't have any opinions, he originally brought Chen Ming over to let him know more about the first battalion.

Listening to what others say is, after all, hearsay, and fighting a war is not just based on other people's accounts to judge the situation, but also to understand it yourself.

When people make invitations, Chen Ming will naturally not refuse.

On the way to the headquarters of the first battalion, Wang Junwei looked at Shan Chao and admonished: "You guys prepare for me, Chen Ming is an officer in the new era, and he has published many topics on synthetic tactics at the National Defense University of Science and Technology, which has attracted the attention of the theater and the military department."

"His combat thinking is different from ours, and he may have a way to surprise him, not to mention that he was born from the dragon's tooth and is very good at analyzing the enemy's weaknesses."

"Not only do you have to show him around a battalion, but you also have to explain your combat system in detail, and you have to stop that kid no matter what, understand?"

"Yes, Brigadier."

Shan Chao responded with a wry smile, he wondered if the brigade commander was biased towards him.

Since Chen Ming is so good at analyzing the enemy's weaknesses, he also gave a detailed introduction to his command system at a glance, isn't it inconsistent to say this

Of course, as the commander of the first battalion, Shan Chao firmly believes that his air defense system can be invulnerable, and even if the fifth battalion has a helicopter squadron, it is difficult for this kind of air combat force to cause large-scale damage to them.

As long as it is a synthetic battalion, it has weaknesses in air defense, but this does not mean that they have no way to solve it.

Especially in this one-on-one situation, it is not a concentrated fire, and it is not a big threat to the heavy battalion.

What's more, the key to determining the outcome is not only to rely on the helicopter squadron, but also to see the performance of the ground forces, he firmly believes that no matter how Chen Ming commands and what tactics he uses, the advantage is on their side.

If you don't have this bit of faith, then how can you lead the heavy battalion?

Shan Chao did what he said, leading Chen Ming to watch the air defense system, logistics layout, and early warning radar system of the first battalion throughout the whole process.

Fortunately, it was his own people who checked it, and if the enemy learned of the news, then all the defenses of the battalion would be like decorations.

During the viewing process, the commander of the first battalion followed behind, full of confidence, gearing up, looking at the posture, as if he wanted to fight with the fifth battalion now.

Quite confident.

The first battalion lasted until the evening, when Chen Ming left with the brigade commander and returned to the fifth battalion from the brigade headquarters.

This time, I said that I had seen the opponent's air defense layout and firepower deployment, but in fact, it was the same as not seeing it.

In addition to being able to more clearly understand the difficulty of this confrontation, it seems to have no other effect.

Back at the Fifth Battalion station, when Chen Ming passed by the training ground, he saw a group of people gathered in the distance, discussing something lively, and from a distance, the enthusiasm for the discussion was quite high.

A few warriors danced and said.

This is the time for the companies to end their training and return to the company.

What could be more important than dry rice? Chen Ming parked the car next to him, got out of the car, and before he could get closer, a soldier was the first to spot him.

Hurriedly jumped to his feet and shouted: "Hurry up, Staff Officer Chen is back, comrades, how did you discuss it just now, hurry up." ”

"What to discuss?" Before Chen Ming realized what was going on, a group of soldiers from the fifth battalion made a "whoosh" and surrounded him.

"Staff Officer Chen, do you know that you have published the newspaper? War Zone Military Newspaper. ”

"Although the disaster is ruthless, there is great love in the world, the lonely brave man in the dark night, too handsome, this title occupies an entire page of the military newspaper, Staff Officer Chen, why haven't I heard you mention it before, about the rescue a year ago?"

"Do you still need to mention it? At that time, you didn't organize to watch the news when the rescue was carried out? Anyway, I saw that Staff Officer Chen was interviewed at that time, and it was also on the news during the Chinese New Year. ”

"Is there one? Why don't I know, I, I just knew that Staff Officer Chen, you have only been in the army for two and a half years, and you have gone from a third-class merit to a first-class merit? ”

With the shouts of everyone, Chen Ming saw that there were indeed a few soldiers with newspapers in their hands, but they were all about to crumple into a ball.

No wonder he didn't see it just now.

"Congratulations, haha." While everyone else was busy, the battalion commander Du Longfei also walked over from a distance.

The group army is too big, there are fifty or sixty thousand people, even if Chen Ming is famous, there will always be some soldiers who have not heard of it, which is normal.

But this time, the correspondent from the headquarters directly sent the military report to their fifth battalion and also to the training ground.

Since the above wants to promote him as a positive one, it is natural that he will briefly introduce the deeds he has done before.

This shocked the veterans on the training ground.

They just know that Chen Ming is very young, but most people don't know what this youth means.

Chen Ming's military history has completely solved this mystery.

"Battalion commander, don't follow the coaxing, what's there to congratulate." Chen Ming smiled bitterly, and the soldiers followed the excitement.

How can this be that the battalion commander also began to be lively.

"Haha, you kid, hey, no, how come you weren't surprised to hear the news? Did you know in advance? ”

Du Longfei glanced Chen Ming up and down, and he was not surprised at all to find that he was not surprised at all when he was on the military newspaper in the war zone.

You must know that under normal circumstances, the military newspaper in the theater does not record news about individuals, but it is all about implementing the spirit, innovating service concepts, optimizing various service support work, high-quality leadership ideas, and so on.

It is not a propaganda newspaper of the military region, and all day long it is published who has won the title of third-class meritorious service, who has won the title of outstanding soldier, and the preparations for the military region's exercises.

This is equivalent to outside, the news network commends the individual, which is an honor that is difficult to encounter in a lifetime.

The military newspaper of the war zone, from the beginning to the end of the year, no one can board it.

Looking at the puzzled eyes around him, Chen Ming nodded: "That's right, when I went to the brigade headquarters this time, Comrade Political Commissar had already said something about the military newspaper in the theater. ”

"No, I've got all the newspapers back."

Chen Ming said, taking out a folded newspaper from his pocket, which was the one Xu Guoyang gave him.

There are soldiers next to him who want to rob, after all, the headquarters arranged for someone to come over to deliver the military newspaper, and it is impossible to carry a stack and get it directly, this is issued by the theater, not the military region, and the number is not so much.

As a result, before they could touch it, Du Longfei "rubbed", grabbed the newspaper in his hand, snapped, and slapped away all the claws that stretched out around him.

"Go, go, what to rob, you guys just came to the headquarters to deliver newspapers, which company is responsible for reception?"

"A dozen of them were sent in total, and I haven't even had one so far, so there's nothing to grab."

"I decided that this military newspaper will be placed in the honor column of the battalion headquarters, as the first honor of our five battalions, and it also indicates that our five battalions can really be successfully established and apply for our own number."

"Comrades, do you have faith?"

"There is !!"

The hundreds of soldiers who gathered around shouted in unison, and the training in the barracks was very boring, and it was rare to have such a lively moment.

Du Long Fei will not forcibly order them to disband, and do what they should do.

There is a degree of relaxation, and only with honor can there be cohesion.

As a battalion commander, he is very clear about this.

While everyone else was still lively, coaxing the remaining few newspapers, Du Longfei carefully folded the newspapers and stuffed them into his pocket.

casually asked, "Old Chen, what did the brigade commander ask you to do this time?" ”

"Why did you go for so long?"

"Well, let's talk about this later, I also went to the first camp this afternoon and watched their layout over there, and we may have to make adjustments."

"I'll go back to the battalion headquarters first and sort it out, and I'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay, then you go and get busy, I'll go find Lao Zhang and post the military newspaper to the battalion headquarters."

Du Longfei smiled, looking in a good mood.
