Chapter 258: The Eighth Division was defeated, and the line of fire was awarded
Brush brush brush.
The directors watched the officers look at the young officers who were circled by infrared lights, and their eyes flashed with amazement, doubt, and speechlessness.
In the drone lens illumination, the most fragrant eater, picked up the mushroom luncheon meat with a fork and showed it off in his mouth.
"It's a bandit brigade." Behind the observation seat, an officer from the Western Theater shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Looking at the packaging, these self-heating pots eaten by the five battalions can be recognized at a glance as the type exclusively supplied by the Southern Xinjiang Military Region and the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region.
The altitude here is high, and some of the ingredients and packaging are a little different from those of the plains.
At first glance, there is no shortage of food for the Blues.
Soon.
Chen Ming's information was also called up, the large projection screen was split in two from the middle, and the real-time projection on the right continued.
The left part projects the archive, which is displayed in the form of text.
Feng Hongyi looked at it calmly.
Chen Ming, male, Pengcheng Wei County, northern Jiangsu, Pengcheng Kyushu College freshman signed up to join the army, enlisted in the 71st Army Artillery Brigade, and obtained
"He currently holds the position of chief staff officer of the 169th Brigade of the 71st Army."
After reading all the information silently, Feng Hongyi turned his head to look at a brigade commander of the 71st Army.
"Has this little comrade participated in professional training as a staff officer?"
"Report chief, no, I studied at the National Defense University of Science and Technology for a period of time, participated in the sword sharpening program, and was the first batch of students."
"Well, I have an impression." Feng Hongyi nodded, he did have an impression, after reading Chen Ming's information, he remembered that the Army Headquarters of the military department had a fax of his file before.
Although since the 16 years of military reform, the provincial military districts, except for the southern Xinjiang and Xinjiang provincial military districts, have abolished the post of chief of staff, including the director of the political department.
However, the group army has not been abolished, on the contrary, there is a great shortage of excellent staff officers in the troops.
Because the group army is the main battle, it is responsible for carrying out combat tasks, and it is internally divided into various specialized arms to cooperate with each other, and excellent staff officers can raise the combat capability of the entire army to a higher level.
Provincial military districts and group armies are responsible for different directions, and they are more inclined to the nature of national defense mobilization, and are mainly responsible for the military-political coordination, national defense mobilization, recruitment for military service, resettlement of veterans, border and coastal defense management, or responsible for the tasks of the militia and reserve forces.
The abolition of the post of chief of staff is for the sake of making future wars more flexible and saving resources.
However, unlike group armies, there are too few excellent staff officers, and many of them even hold staff posts, and their analysis of the terrain and the battlefield is not as good as that of military commanders.
In terms of this operational ability, the establishment of the General Staff Department was in vain.
Apparently.
From Chen Ming's operation, Feng Hongyi saw all the qualities that a staff officer needs to have.
It is not easy to be young and have not undergone professional staff training, and to have such a keen insight into the battlefield.
Feng Hongyi waved his hand to remove Chen Ming's file materials, and set his eyes on the other fighters.
Only then did it find out that the eliminated five battalion fighters, under the irradiation of the drone, clearly saw from the difference between military uniforms and armbands that they were not a unit.
"Those comrades from which unit? It seems that this is not only the people of the fifth battalion of the Red Army. Feng Hongyi asked with a smile.
"Report to the chief, among them are people from the Longya Commando Team of the Eastern Theater of Operations, as well as people from the Special Operations Brigade and the Second Special Operations Battalion of the 71st Army."
"According to the detailed battle situation transmitted back by the front-line observers, it was Chen Ming, the commander of the fifth battalion, who arranged for the soldiers of the second special operations battalion and some of the soldiers of the fifth battalion to form another fifth battalion."
"Go and intercept the Blue Army's transport vehicle on the way, so that the Blue Army troops mistakenly think that this is the Red Army's bandit brigade."
"Under carelessness, the rear baggage warehouse was dispatched, which gave the fifth battalion of the Red Army an opportunity."
"And the order for the front line to require baggage transportation is also an order issued by the fifth battalion to simulate the eighth division of the Tianshan Mountains."
"When intercepting the baggage, the pretended Fifth Battalion launched an attack at night, deliberately distorted firepower, and fired smoke bombs to block the judgment of the Blue Army, and the situation was critical, and the Blue Army made a mistake in judgment."
"Hahaha, good, good, good, what a dark Chen Cang, adjust the tiger away from the mountain, sound east and west, and kill with one blow."
Feng Hongyi stroked his palms and laughed.
He has been sitting in the director's department, and just now he just heard that the No. 3 baggage warehouse of the Blue Army was destroyed, but he never expected that the bandit brigade of the Red Army was not only famous.
For the sake of this battle plan, so many units were gathered in a short period of time, and even the ace commandos of the Eastern Theater were mobilized.
After understanding the whole process of the battle, Feng Hongyi looked at Chen Ming's gaze and admired it like a jade, rare, really a rare talent.
Not only are the staff officers outstanding, but they also have all the personal connections as a military commander.
There are more than one million officers and men in the army, and there are not a few people with outstanding ability, but it is rare to have outstanding ability in all aspects.
What's more, Chen Ming's age is so young.
Young, talented, thoughtful, dare to fight, dare to think and dare to do, just rush this, it is worth vigorously cultivating.
"Okay, switch the screen to the main battlefield, and inform me that after the large-scale military training, I will go to the Fifth Battalion of the Red Army to see how this unit that has performed so well on the battlefield of the large-scale military training is doing."
"At the same time, we must also see how bold this commander is, how dare he lead a battalion, and just rush to the rear and disrupt the baggage deployment of the Blue Army."
"Yes, Chief."
A group of officers from the director's department responded loudly.
Switching to the screen, although the impact of the five battalions is not small, the large-scale training is the overall situation, and it is impossible to delay it because of one battlefield.
But anyone can see that Chen Ming is probably really going to rise to prominence this time.
That is the chief of staff of the army department, praised by people of this level, as long as Chen Ming does not make big mistakes and fights steadily, there will definitely be a place for him in the army.
What's more, the 71st Army will be regarded as the first pilot military region to strengthen the brigade-level combat unit to the division level.
If you say you don't envy it, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
Ability and opportunity are the most rare at any time, and Chen Ming just has all of them.
The Blue Army's baggage warehouse was bombed, and the Tianshan Eighth Division did not suffer much restriction for the time being, and their ammunition and oil storage could still last for a day.
But do they dare to hold on for a day and continue to work with the Red Army until they run out of ammunition and food?
The answer is obvious, they don't dare.
At that time, the battle group of Nuoda will be wiped out in an instant, and the materials airdropped by the transport planes will not be able to withstand the consumption at all.
As a result, the Eighth Division retreated.
On the front-line battlefield, the forces of the Eighth Division of the Tianshan Mountains and the Baiyun Mountain Regiment were united, fighting and withdrawing, and the heavy regiment was broken in front and behind to intercept the main force of the Red Army.
In the rear, the mobile lightly armed regiment of the 8th Division retreated rapidly, and if there was no reinforcement of the Blue Army on this battlefield, if it persisted, it would be eaten by the 71st Army.
He wanted to withdraw, how could the Red Army units in the rear let go.
Seventy-first Army Command.
Commander-in-chief Feng Chunyang laughed, his mouth almost closed.
"It's enjoyable, it's really enjoyable, it's like fighting, pass my orders, the 71st Artillery Brigade, the 71st Army Aviation Brigade, the 2nd Synthetic Brigade, the 35th Brigade, the 160th Brigade, the 169th Brigade, press on me."
"If you want to run, leave the heavy fire for me first."
"Tell the soldiers of the whole army, give me a hard beating, damn it, and completely defeat the blue army for me."
"It's true that my seventy-first army is a sick cat, and I'm still pressing and beating."
"Yes, Chief."
A group of officers in the conference room responded excitedly, and the situation on the battlefield became clearer and clearer.
This side has an advantage, and the theater just called to praise it, and the other battlefields are full of pressure on the combat units of the Blue Army, preventing them from sending firepower to help.
In tonight's battle, even if the Eighth Division is not annihilated, at least eight or nine times out of ten will be defeated, and it is difficult to see them on the frontal battlefield.
Wang Junwei, the commander of the 169th Brigade, was proud of the spring breeze at this time, grinning with bared teeth, looking at everyone with their heads held high, that posture, I couldn't wait to see people and say that it was the fifth battalion of their 169th Brigade that took out the baggage warehouse of the Blue Army.
As a result, the Eighth Division of the Tianshan Mountains retreated again and again, and it could not be formed.
The front line was in pursuit, and the Red Army troops drove straight in, chasing the Blue Army up and down, and retreating in panic.
The atmosphere in the conference room was completely dreary.
Feng Chunyang listened to the frequent reports of good news from the front line, and said with a smile: "Yes, I really didn't expect the fifth battalion to target the Blue Army's baggage warehouse, how dare you say this kid Chen Ming."
"He is really not small, with a battalion of troops, he dares to go deep into the hinterland of the Blue Army."
"The firepower of the baggage depot is at least equivalent to the firepower of one and a half brigades, several times the strength of the five battalions, and they have all been gnawed down by this kid."
"Yes, I called from the theater just now, saying that the commander-in-chief of the director department was going to the fifth battalion of the 169th Brigade after the end of the large-scale military training."
"There should be no problem with the application for the preparation sequence this time, and the war zone has already put the matter of the application number to the council."
"As long as we apply here, it will officially enter the negotiation stage."
"After the end of the large-scale military training, it is likely that the establishment of the fifth battalion will be directly announced, the battalion flag will be awarded, and the number will be awarded."
"Lao Wang, the fifth battalion did a good job this time."
"Chief Xie compliments." Wang Junwei, commander of the 169th Brigade, got up with a smile and responded.
This raid by the fifth battalion really brought them a big surprise.
Xu Guoyang, the political commissar of the brigade, sat aside and smiled helplessly, he had only found Chen Ming yesterday and talked about personal matters.
At that time, he thought that the application number of the fifth battalion should be in the second half of the year, and it would be good to be able to officially mention the agenda of the theater meeting.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ming was so able to toss, sneak attack the rear station of the Blue Army, clear the logistics, and kill the brigade headquarters, although these achievements are remarkable, but they will not cause too much of a sensation.
Nor will it affect decision-making at the theater level.
It can blow up the Blue Army's baggage warehouse, destroy one-third of the enemy's dispatch materials, and affect the entire battle situation, which is an indelible achievement.
Commendations must be given above, and if they keep their mouths shut and do not reward their merits, then it is not the style of the troops.
Xu Guoyang quietly looked at the commander-in-chief, and he basically had the bottom in his heart.
The army is also a large society, and all kinds of relationships are intertwined, and Feng Chunyang has just been promoted from the position of chief of staff to commander-in-chief.
Now is the time to cultivate his own lineage, it has nothing to do with forming a gang, and with his position, he can't pull a Chen Ming.
It's just that as the commander-in-chief, the heavy responsibility of cultivating a new generation of officers falls on his shoulders, and Chen Ming has performed since joining the army.
It took less than two months to transfer a new battalion that did not understand synthetic operations to this level in less than two months.
Its power cannot be denied.
At this time, it is time for him to take a stand.
This large-scale military training, not only the five battalions need to perform, Feng Chunyang has just been promoted to commander-in-chief, and it is the first time that he is fully responsible for such a large-scale operation, and the above can be staring at it.
Including the commanders and fighters below, they are also staring.
Chen Ming led the Fifth Battalion to make this kind of achievement, and it was impossible for him not to express his position.
Sure enough, Feng Chunyang pondered for a moment, waved his hand to signal all the personnel in the conference room to be quiet, and said with a smile: "According to the contribution made by the five battalions to the large-scale military training, the party committee of the military region has decided to award the five battalions a collective second-class meritorious service, and Comrade Chen Ming has shown heroism in this command operation."
"The command is decisive, dare to fight, and award personal second-class merit."
"Of course, the current award is not recorded because the five battalions are not established and have no number."
"Keep this merit in mind first, and then award it when everything settles and when it's over, but a personal second-class merit can be awarded now."
"Including the application number, the application for the promotion of Comrade Chen Ming to the deputy battalion level, I will also submit it to the war zone as soon as possible."
"I believe that this time, there will be no obstacles."
"Comrades, what do you think?"
Feng Chunyang looked at all the officers present with a smile, the commander-in-chief had spoken, who could have an opinion.
They all nodded in agreement.
The firing line is an affirmation of the soldiers, and it also greatly improves morale.
There was no objection from everyone.
Feng Chunyang spoke again: "In this case, Lao Wang, Lao Xu, the two of you will go tomorrow and go to the fifth battalion to award military merits."
"I will explain the situation to the above, our fighters fought all night, fought all night, and could not fail to express it."
"Let's go at dawn."
"However, before that, I must first clear the Eighth Division of the Tianshan Mountains out of the combat zone, press the firepower of the whole army on me, and solve the battle before dawn."
"Go get ready."
"Yes."
Boom boom.
Buzz.
The scope of the war is getting wider and wider, and when the battle started in the early hours of the first half of the night, the No. 3 baggage warehouse of the Blue Army was still dozens of kilometers away from the main battlefield.
In the middle of the night.
The flames of war almost burned to this side.
Rocket after rocket from high altitude was fired at the rear like dumplings under boiling water.
The 8th Division of the Blue Army fought and retreated, and the heavy firepower was almost destroyed, and the loss of ammunition was even more serious.
From Chen Ming's position, through the naked eye, he could see that the troops in the distance were retreating, constantly shifting.
At this time, the east has revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, the sun comes out, and the pale golden light is sprinkled all over the earth.
"Boom!!"
A rocket hits a tank straight away, and if the 99A main battle tank hits the side with other shells, it is almost impossible to determine that it will be eliminated.
But if it is hit at the top by this long-range rocket artillery, no matter how powerful the main battle tank is, it will have to lie on its stomach.
The Blues were retreating, and the Reds were catching up.
Just chased and caught up, and the two sides were stunned and fought all the way in front of their eyes, chasing after each other.
The goal is already obvious, to completely eliminate the Eighth Division.
"I'm obedient, I'm fighting very hard, this is the posture of eating the Eighth Division of the Tianshan Mountains in one go."
"Team Chen, are you itching to see it?" The broiler laughed sheepishly, and a group of people eliminated by the fifth battalion couldn't sleep at all because of the nearby artillery fire.
The thing exploded at close range, louder than thunder, and it couldn't sleep at all.
And the situation of the war reversed too quickly, whether it was the Red Army or the Blue Army, the number of eliminated soldiers increased in a straight line, and the director department had no time to arrange the eliminated soldiers.
They can only be allowed to stay here, acting as a spectator, watching the battlefield in front of them.
Chen Ming stared at the battlefield in the distance with burning eyes, and did not respond to the broiler's inquiry, this thing is just a chatterbox.
With such a fierce battle, it would be a lie to say that you are not thrilled to watch, but unfortunately, the fifth battalion has been eliminated and is not qualified to join the battlefield again.
Just watching them fight from a distance, and then from the front, to the rear, shouting and killing shook the sky, the chariots rumbled, and the 71st Army moved really this time.
Looking at the investment of troops, it is not difficult to guess that it is probably two or three times more than the heyday of the Eighth Division, how can there be accidents in such a large-scale operation.
The main battlefield shifted again, until it was out of sight, Chen Ming shook his head, turned to look at a group of warriors with panda eyes, gathered behind him.
couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, don't look at it, the company commanders arrange for the soldiers to set up tents on the spot, no need to arrange to stand guard, and have a good rest."
"Looking at the situation tonight, if nothing else, the Blue Army's baggage warehouse will be classified as a new elimination concentration camp to accommodate the troops eliminated tonight."
"Let's just wait for the director's notice."
"Let's all go and rest."
Chen Ming was urging the arrangement, and the battalion commander Du Longfei hurriedly ran over and said urgently: "What, old Chen, hurry, the brigade commander and political commissar are here."
"I'll go to the reception first, I'll arrange for each company to line up, don't worry, it's a good thing."
"The brigade commander and commissar are coming? So fast? Chen Ming was slightly surprised, and he also knew that it was a good thing.
The Fifth Battalion made such a big move last night, and the entire Blue Army was caught off guard, and the Eighth Division of the Tianshan Mountains was even defeated on the whole front.
It's just that he didn't expect that the people from the director's department hadn't arranged for them yet, but the brigade commander came first.
Chen Ming sorted out his military uniform, stuffed his helmet into the chariot, changed into a military hat, and quickly came to the main road outside the woods.
They hid in this small woods to avoid being accidentally injured by shells, even if they were all exercise ammunition, but the block was real, falling from a high altitude, if it hit the head, it would be no less powerful than an empty cartridge shot at close range.
That's why every time they attack, the Blues have to hide under their vehicles.
Chen Ming was dressed neatly, trotted all the way outside, and saw Wang Junwei, the commander of the 169th Brigade, and Xu Guoyang, the political commissar, standing in the distance with a team of guards directly under the brigade.
Judging by the situation, it should be following the rear of the Red Army's large forces, and the brigade commander and them came only after the main battlefield was fought from this side.
"Good brigade commander, good political commissar." Chen Ming hurriedly ran to him, stood upright, and saluted.
"Okay, good boy, you can really toss." Wang Junwei smiled and returned the salute.
His eyes were full of appreciation, and he glanced at Chen Ming.
"I was really taken aback by the news that came back to the command last night, you tell me, how did you come up with the idea of attacking the Blues' baggage depot?"
"Do you know that the deployment of firepower here, even if our entire 169 Brigade comes, it will be given for nothing."
"What's more, a brigade-level combat unit is so deep in the hinterland, it is impossible for the Blue Army not to be aware of it."
"Who gave you the guts?"
