Wait for the people from the fire to arrive.

Chen Ming did not immediately follow Lao Xiong's squad leader and others to the position of the Red Army to conduct fire deployment reconnaissance.

The more modern the war, the more important the war game deduction is, and there is no script for the red and blue confrontation in Niutoushan, and there is no specific deduction before the war.

But Chen Ming at least had to understand the battle situation in front of him, and it was impossible to rush into the hinterland of the Red Army to investigate.

Armed with his own collar badge, Xiong Jiuchang led the group to an open area, away from the blockade team on the edge.

No matter how you say that pretending to be the director's department to investigate, it is not an upright tactical arrangement, or the less people know about it, the better.

Lao Xiong took out a map from the back seat of the car, spread it on the ground, stretched out his hand and pointed to a ridge, and said: "Chen, the Red Army has completed crossing the river last night and is marching towards the Blue Army garrison."

"If the prediction is correct, the next pass across the river is Niubei Mountain."

"It's another tough bone to gnaw."

"The Blue Army has adopted anti-slope tactics in Niubei Mountain, and countless passages have been dug up inside this strategic hill, and artillery positions have been set up on the back to block the Red Army's assault on the front."

"I don't know the specific arrangement, but I know that the next hard battle is that the Red Army is going to fight the Niubei Mountain of the Blue Army, and if you turn over, the Blue Army is dangerous, and if you can't get over, the Red Army will be dragged to death here."

Anti-slope tactics. Chen Ming listened to the old bear squad leader's narration and was silent, in fact, these were all fights against the heavy troops of the 86th Brigade two years ago.

Preparing for war in advance, hundreds of people crushed Niubei Mountain, not only here, but also as a super training ground, a key battlefield that may break out in the future.

A lot of the underground of Niutou Mountain has also been dug through, covered by anti-nuclear weapons and anti-heavy firepower, and the responsibility of this area is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It's a pity that the old bear squad leader of the firepower department is too low to understand the specific layout of the Blue Army, which is not good for analysis.

Guo Canhui stood next to him and heard the anti-slope tactics, just like Chen Ming, he didn't speak.

It seems to be pondering the feasibility of such tactics in the conditions of modern warfare.

This tactic was quite famous in the past, and Shanggan-Ling used to set up our army's artillery position on the hillside facing away from the enemy and facing our army.

The enemy's fire bombardment can only reach the front, and it is difficult for the artillery fire to blow up to the back, and even if it can fall to the back, it will lose its accuracy and bombard towards the foot of the mountain.

Once the enemy bombs, immediately through the mountain passage, run to the back to hide, and when the bombing is over, when the enemy attacks, then return to the front through the tunnel, with the help of small machine gun muzzle, strong fire to suppress the enemy infantry charge.

This tactic is usually used in the enemy's firepower, which is much stronger than ours.

Nowadays, there is precision fire navigation, there is an air threat, and similar tactics are basically rare.

Of course, rare does not mean elimination, there is no high or low tactics, and when it comes to obsolescence, only whether the commander will be flexible or will it be adapted to local conditions.

Because Lao Xiong didn't understand the layout of the Blue Army, Chen Ming and Guo Canhui were both pondering on their own, imagining how they would use Niubei Mountain to maximize the effect of anticline tactics if they were to lead the Blue Army.

Just when the two were silent, Wang Shuaibing walked around the map, walked around twice, scratched his head, and asked with a puzzled look: "Can the anti-slope tactic still be used now?"

"It's not going to go out of style, is it? What kind of tactics is this? ”

"This thing can hold off the heavy artillery of the Red Army?"

Hearing this, Guo Canhui glanced up at him, and didn't say a word, don't look at this old man who looks indecent when communicating with Chen Ming.

That's because Chen Ming has strong ability and his level is about the same as him, so he doesn't need to hold a shelf.

But in the face of others, he was too high to refute.

Chen Ming is different, Lao Wang has a studious heart, which is a good thing, and he immediately said: "You can't say this, the tactics used in the war are not outdated, but as soon as you say it, we will see if it will be improved."

"Until now, the first lesson in the command course of the military academy is to talk about the Falklands, and it is a relative statement that it is outdated, and the commanders who dare to put on this kind of battle formation have found a certain law from it."

"There are no elimination tactics, only appropriate or effective tactics, don't you remember when I first went to the firepower, I often read books from the Warring States Period? According to you, that is long outdated. ”

"What's more, Niubeishan is just one of the battlefields where the Blues block the Red Army's rapid crossing of the line, which cannot be said to be insignificant, but it will definitely not support the main battlefield."

"That's right." Accompanied by Chen Ming's speech, Guo Canhui also spoke.

Lao Xiong's position as squad leader is not high, and he knows too little about the above arrangements, but what are the identities of Chen Ming and Lao Guo?

Listening to him casually, I roughly guessed the intention of the Blue Army, which was to stretch the battle line horizontally, and this part of Niubei Mountain was only one of the combat zones.

Of course, it's more difficult at the moment.

"Today's anti-slope tactics are still useful, and although today's missiles are highly accurate and directive, they must also be given coordinates to complete the launch."

"As the enemy army imaginary enemy, the director will limit the satellite positioning and aerial reconnaissance of the Red Army, because on the real battlefield, the confrontation between the major powers will not allow you to use satellites at will."

"I won't let you have air supremacy casually, and even if you do, the camouflage under the conditions of modern science and technology is not vegetarian."

"The severity of the war, after all, will be forced to retreat for more than ten years, we are simulating the most cruel battlefield, the Blue Army is the most cruel enemy, if you want to reconnoitre, you can only run to the top of Niubei Mountain."

"So I think that in this battle, the Blues are trying to cross the river as easily, I'm afraid they are going to miscalculate."

Guo Canhui expressed his opinion.

"By the way, I forgot to ask, which of the Red Army's river-crossing tactics were used last night? How did you break through the Blues' blockade so quickly? Chen Ming turned his head to look at the old bears.

According to the setting of the director's department, Niutou Lake was expanded into a river.

With such a scale of Dadu River, there are still Blue Army on the other side of the river, and the Red Army wants to cross it, is it not so easy?

"I don't know very much about that." In the face of Chen Ming's inquiry, the old bear squad leader scratched his head innocently, saying that he didn't know.

As for Wang Shuaibing and the bald man, not to mention, they don't know.

According to them, Chen Ming has not been in the firepower department in the past few days, and the entire firepower department has been directly divided into the division headquarters.

The work of all departments was subject to the unified arrangement of the division headquarters, and there was no report from the new division chief, but they undertook the civilian work of the division headquarters and the general staff.

Because of the deployment of the war, they are not needed, and the entire firepower department knows about the internal staff, but it is a pity that those people are now all working in the director's hall of the division headquarters.

There is no way to call over, Lao Xiong, they are not from the staff of the fire department, so they don't know much.

"But I heard that it seems that the Red Army is quite ruthless, on such a cold day, many people waded bare-legged through the periphery of Niutou Lake, maybe they swam over, anyway, when crossing the river, the Blue Army launched an artillery bombardment, and there were already Red Army troops on this side to launch a fire blockade."

"The armor-piercing bazooka disrupted the Blues' artillery trucks and hit hard." Wang Shuaibing took the opportunity to tell the gossip he had gotten.

Their position was a little further from the combat zone, and belonged to the rear where the large forces of the Red Army had already marched.

At this time, there is no clear information, there is no way to judge.

Chen Ming listened for a long time, and finally shook his head, whether it was the anticline of the Blue Army or the Red Army's bare-legged crossing of the river, it didn't matter.

It's hard to get any more information out of it.

"Lao Guo, what do you think?" Chen Ming looked up at Guo Canhui,

"I can't see it, I can't see anything, it's useless to estimate it, it's better to investigate."

"There's too little information, and there's not much to come up with."

Chen Ming admitted that it was useless for them to talk too much here, and the original plan was to go to the hinterland of the Red Army to swagger and hide with the identity of the director after being a little familiar with the situation of the confrontation of the Red Army.

Go and see it in the open.

Chen Ming dared to arrange it like this, it was really not hot-headed.

This time the Red Army came from the 71st Army, and he is quite famous in the 71st Army, right?

While many units are concerned about the 704th Division, which has been separated from the 71st Division, they will also know more or less about him, the person in charge of the firepower department.

The competition started suddenly and ended quickly, and during this time period, I am afraid that many people did not receive the news.

You only get one chance.

As long as he participated in the command this time, the next time the Red Army came over, he would not be able to use the same reconnaissance method.

"Squad Leader Xiong, take a look at the Red Army unit that took us to the nearest one and take a walk around first."

"Don't go straight to the Red Army's heavy artillery area, walk around this area as much as possible, and try to make a lot of noise, so that most of the Red Army's combat units will know that the pickets of the director's department are nearby."

"Understand?" Chen Ming smiled and asked.

The old bear squad leader naturally patted his chest honestly and said that there was no problem.

The bald man and Wang Shuaibing were only excited, and there was nothing to say.

If it is a normal patrol, then it is not interesting, at most it is to go over and see if the soldiers of the Red Army have violated the rules, or to see if there are any nearby villagers who have strayed into the combat zone.

But this time it's an overt investigation.

If the investigation is over, Chen Ming will return to the division headquarters tonight to report and take over the command of the Blue Army, then the Red Army will soon face a targeted attack.

The annihilation people dare not talk about it, after all, it is a heavy brigade, but it will definitely disrupt all their arrangements unexpectedly.

Give the Blues the upper hand.

Only Guo Canhui squinted at Chen Ming, although he also advocated going over to investigate, but he still felt that Chen Mingte was not a thing.

Reconnoitre, just reconnoitre, not going straight to the main combat area of the Red Army, but also going around the neighborhood a few more times.

Yes, this is also done to avoid arousing the alarm of the Red Army, but when the two armies go to war, you commander will touch the firepower, position, and deployment of the other people.

It's a little bit unethical.

The Red Army garrison area to the north of Niubei Mountain.

It is now in the midst of a truce between the Red and Blue sides, and this has nothing to do with the agreement, but with the fierce battle between the two armies after last night, plus the brave advance of the Red Army during the day.

The fighters were tired, and so were the Blues, and by the afternoon the battle had stopped, with only some fighting continuing in sporadic areas.

On the grass six kilometers north of Niubei Mountain, the equipment of the air defense battalion is everywhere, facing the high altitude and waiting for the battle.

As far as the eye can see, the chariot group stretches for thousands of kilometers like a green steel forest.

Anti-jamming aircraft were dropped at high altitudes, ground radar vehicles were running at high speed, and military green tents were everywhere around the combat vehicles.

The main battle tanks, 120 self-propelled mortars, 155 howitzers of the artillery battalion, 122 rocket artillery, anti-tank missile vehicles of the anti-aircraft battalion, anti-aircraft artillery in the Red Army composite battalion, here it is as if you don't need money.

There must be one within a dozen meters, or tens of meters.

If you can look down from the sky, these chariots gather like a labyrinth, criss-crossed, chaotic but orderly, forming a true king of the land.

Despite the rest, the Red Army positions were still on guard against a sneak attack.

The two Red Army soldiers in charge of the outermost sentry were vigilantly looking around, staring at the surroundings for more than an hour, and one of the privates was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyelids.

Covering his mouth and yawning, he looked at the veteran next to him and said, "Squad leader, did you say that the group of bastards of the Blue Army would sneak attack tonight and suddenly come over and attack us?"

"The group of bull-headed soldiers said that none of us could cross Niubei Mountain, and the bull was blowing loudly, and Niutou Lake was also shouting like this at that time, so we still called."

"Say a few words, keep an eye on it, don't get touched by the Blues."

The other companion was a veteran, with two crutches and a much more mature style.

From time to time, the recruits were reminded to be vigilant, and in fact, he had been doing so, his eyes kept staring around.

"Squad leader, don't be so nervous, we're so close to the artillery group, those bunnies of the Blue Army won't dare to touch here even if they attack."

"I just don't know, whether we will attack Niubei Mountain tonight, I heard the company commander say that the Blue Army is very chicken thieves, and what anti-slope tactics are set up, they are all old-fashioned."

"Squad leader, you said that if I can rush to the top of Niubei Mountain first, will I get a third-class merit?"

"Hey!"

The veteran looked at the hopeful gaze of the recruit, and shook his head helplessly, the vast majority of soldiers who had just joined the army were like this, and they always thought that they were the chosen ones when they went to the battlefield for the first time.

can easily achieve great achievements, imagining that one person can kill the enemy and abandon his armor.

But it's not that easy to fight, especially on the home turf of the Blues.

The Synthetic 5th Brigade currently seems to have complete heavy firepower, and it is a mess, but the really difficult battle is already in sight.

As veterans, it is clear that their opponent is the 704th Division, and the equipment of the division-level battle units is not comparable to that of the brigade level.

The 704th Division has its own aviation regiment, a long-range rocket artillery battalion and a long-range suppression artillery formation.

There is no such thing as a composite 5th brigade, and the aviation is only deployed at the group army level, the reason is that the number of helicopters of all types is not enough, and it needs to be deployed in a unified manner.

Including artillery fire, they were combined into 5 brigades, equipped with 120 self-propelled mortars at the battalion level, and 155 howitzers and rocket artillery under the brigade.

However, the corresponding army-level firepower configuration of the 704th Division, not to mention far away, is the same as the 71st Army, but he knows that in the earliest 704th Division's Tiger Wolf Battalion, a battalion-level firepower was allocated a part of the brigade-level firepower.

Even later, a long-range rocket artillery platoon, a decapitation artillery platoon, etc., this guy is a military-level configuration.

Although the number is small, it is enough to see that it is not so easy for the Red Army to overwhelm the Blue Army in a tough posture on the front.

What's more, Niubeishan blocked the road, and the 5th Brigade of the Composite Brigade acted alone, without the firepower of the army level, they didn't even have a few helicopters.

How easy is it to climb to the top of Niubei Mountain and win the third-class merit, the veteran does not dare to have such extravagant hopes.

"Patrol well, don't think so much, you must have a chance to make a third-class meritorious service, but not now, come on."

The veteran did not want to attack the noble ideals of the recruit, so he had to persuade him in this way.

"Not good, there's a car coming, ready to fight."

The recruit was so sleepy that he didn't think about it when he saw a car rushing over, and suddenly he screamed, so frightened that the veterans almost stood up collectively with the sweat on their backs.

Glaring at him, the bullet clicked into his load, "Which direction?" ”

"That, squad leader, there." The recruit stretched out his hand to the vehicle in the distance, and the opponent was indeed in the Blue Army area.

But since it was already a little dark at this time, and the distance was too far, he was not sure.

If it was the Blues, would they drive over so blatantly?

Don't you dare?!!

The veteran couldn't be sure, so he picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Wolf's Den Wolf's Den, I am the No. 6 hunting area, and I found a suspicious vehicle passing through the enemy military area."

"We're ready to shoot."

Listening to the veteran say that he was ready to shoot, the recruit next to him was not ambiguous, raised the rifle in his hand, and aimed at the vehicle in the distance.

"Wolf's den received, it's the director's car, it's been inspected in other places, don't intercept, don't attack, greet first, I'll send someone over immediately."

"Repeat, don't intercept the director's car, politely ask, delay time, I'll arrange someone to go over now."

"Hunting Area Six received."

After the veteran got the order, his waist straightened up a lot, and with the order from above, he didn't have to worry about it.

Director, hey!! The veteran quickly packed up his military uniform and made himself look extraordinarily energetic and decent.

After all, it represents the reception of the whole brigade of the Red Army, and the momentum cannot be weakened.

When he cleaned up, he saw that the recruit next to him was still aiming with a gun, looking like he was ready to shoot, and reached out and slapped him on the back of the head.

"Put down the gun, there is an order from above, this is someone from the director's department, let us greet it, and someone will come back to be responsible for the reception."

"Pack up your clothes, don't embarrass our 5th Brigade."

"Huh? Director's Department? The recruit put down his gun in a daze, a little unconvinced.

"Squad leader, didn't you say that the director and the Blues wear the same pants? What are they doing here? ”

"Hmph, it's definitely not a good thing, but we can't help but greet it, logistics supplies, and the villagers who sell goods around, the people we need to maintain our lives are all from the military service center arranged by the director department."

"Maybe come here and take a look, in short, the two of us just do our duty as a soldier."

After the two sentries discussed, they quickly walked towards the vehicle.

A total of two cars came, one in front of the other, and the driver seemed to see the sentry, and the car at the head of the line "creaked" to stop the car.

Pushing the car door, a non-commissioned officer of the third phase who was a little stunned when he looked at it got out of the car.

Before getting out of the car, he deliberately held down the exclusive collar badge of the director's department with his hand, and a pair of officers' style got out of the car.

Originally, the two sentries of the Red Army raised their hands and saluted, and they were already planning to shout "Hello chief", but when they saw someone coming, they changed their words temporarily.

"Hello squad leader!"

"Well, hello." The tiger-headed guy returned the salute and swept his gaze over the surrounding group of gun trucks.

casually asked, "Comrade, what about the person in charge on your side?" When I went to report, I said that the director department was coming. ”

"Amount"

The two sentinels looked at each other, this was not the same scene as they had just imagined.

Aren't all directors of the director's department big officials? Why did you send a raw melon egg?
