"Yes, yes, understood!!"

In the command room of the Red Army, Chief of Staff Zhao Shengkui hung up the phone with a strange face.

At the request of the brigade commander just now, he called the military region and asked who the commander of the Blue Army operation was.

At present, they know very well what the situation is inside the strategic assault division.

There is more than enough morale, but there is not enough experience in combat coordination.

The large army has been established for a short time, and there are many factors that contribute to the success of its combat effectiveness, and the short period of time is a major shortcoming.

It can be seen from the fact that after their Red Army came, they drove straight into the battle, crossed the river strongly, and suppressed Niubei Mountain, and they were bullying the Blue Army as a "soft persimmon".

If you don't dare to fight the frontal battlefield, it will be difficult for any conspiracy and containment to be effective in such a short period of time.

But the problem is that they have already suffered an initial setback.

"Old Peng, do you know who the commander of the Blue Army is?" After hanging up the phone, Zhao Shengkui's face was still strange.

is not shocked, and even a little relieved, that kid is so immoral in command.

The Red Army had just given the order to retreat, and as a result, that kid retreated faster than them?

Is this insincere and disgusting?

"Who?" Peng Tianzheng was puzzled.

"Chen Ming, you know him, he was the chief staff officer of the former Tiger Wolf Battalion, and later the head of the fire department of the 704th Division."

"Him?" Peng Tianzheng frowned, and a bad premonition came to his heart.

It's not that I'm afraid of him, as the commander of the 5th Synthetic Brigade, I can get to this point, and I naturally have two brushes.

It's just that when encountering a new opponent on the battlefield, it is always necessary to delay the offensive trend of the Red Army, not to mention that Chen Ming's battle in the entire 71st Army, or the entire east, is famous for being "Lai Pi Maniac".

Ordinary commanders, who would dare to do things with a new battalion in the hinterland of the blue army during the red and blue operations?

That is, his newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, plus if he is lucky, if he is a little unlucky, the entire tiger and wolf camp will be swallowed back then, and there will not even be any hair left.

Just kidding, the unfamiliar man dared to run to the hinterland of the Blue Army, which directly alarmed the military department at that time.

Disrupted the layout of the entire battlefield, leading to a final armistice for a day.

Yes, from an operational point of view, Chen Ming's actions were right, even if he brought great unexpected losses to that tri-service exercise, no one above blamed him.

It is precisely because of that time that Chen Ming's quota will be smooth sailing in many cases.

It can't be denied that this kid has tiger guts.

"It's a little troublesome, this kid commanded him to play cards completely out of the box."

Peng Tianzheng's expression was cloudy, and he was considering whether to mobilize his troops and launch a fierce attack while the Blue Army was retreating.

Because he did not know Chen Ming's intentions in the next step and was not familiar with his operational thinking, the longer he delayed in Niutou Mountain, where he was unfamiliar with his life, the more unfavorable it would be to the Red Army.

Next to him, Chief of Staff Zhao Shengkui also had the same thought, the two armies on the battlefield did not talk about friendship, but only about success or failure.

He was also gauging whether the Blues would be prepared to launch a sudden cross-line attack by the Red Army at this time.

The two were silent for more than a minute, and finally gave the order to retreat in an all-round way, without a mature battle plan, rashly launching troops, which is likely to further increase losses.

As a result, the Red Army retreated, and the Blue Army had a very tacit understanding, and almost all the combat units after the break on both sides were staring at each other, and no one turned their faces.

On the command vehicle of the Blue Army Brigade Headquarters, Chen Ming stood on one side, holding a night vision device binoculars and watching the orderly retreat of the battlefield in the distance.

muttered to himself: "It's so stable, I didn't even think about fighting back."

"Just withdraw?"

The muttering voice was not small, and it was clearly heard by Guo Canhui next to him.

The corners of Lao Guo's mouth grinned, he knew that this kid didn't hold back his fart, he was still thinking about it just now, why he ordered a retreat so reassuringly, completely exposing his back to the enemy.

It turned out that there was a plan for a long time, but unfortunately, people didn't appreciate it.

"Hey, it's too cautious, I still think that I can bring some of the Red Army over tonight, with Niubei Mountain as the main position, and cut off part of the enemy's firepower, it seems that I miscalculated."

Chen Ming's words revealed regret, the first confrontation ended like this, he was really unwilling.

"Let's go, go up Niubei Mountain." Chen Ming returned to the command vehicle.

The reconnaissance battalion and the heavy firepower battalion directly under the division all followed the command vehicle to provide protection, and although the number was small, it was really difficult to break through the protective troops in a short period of time unless the Red Army hit and collided by mistake.

Besides, the Red Army could not catch any trace of the movement of the command vehicle, and there was no flag planted on it, let alone a slogan.

A group of people came to Niubei Mountain in such a mighty way.

Niubei Mountain is the longest mountain range in the entire Niutou Mountain garrison base.

The names of these mountains are all given by the locals, and Niutou Mountain is named after these mountains and strange rocks, as well as the local naming habits.

The ridge is about more than 20 meters high, the slope is upward, the slope is too gentle, but it does not look very majestic, but it is this mountain ridge that has become the first moat in front of the three guns.

Blocking the Red Army's heavy armored corps commander from driving straight in, and not occupying this mountain range, they really did not dare to attack the hinterland of the Blue Army unscrupulously.

Almost all of the other Blue Army troops who fought just now have retreated, and Niubei Mountain is still in strong positions here, detecting the movements of the Red Army and preventing the other side from counterattacking.

Chen Ming's arrival surprised the deputy commander of the 3rd Synthetic Regiment stationed here, and he had just received the news that the original person in charge of the fire department had served as the chief of staff of the 169 Brigade.

He and Chen Ming are not familiar with each other, and they have not spoken much in private, but now that he is the chief of staff, he is the supreme commander stationed here.

I had to hurriedly run down the mountain, come to me, and salute!

"Hello Comrade Chief of Staff, I am Ge Jianfeng, deputy commander of the Third Synthetic Regiment."

"Hello, Deputy Ge Tuan." Chen Ming smiled and returned the salute.

"How is the retreat on the side of the Red Army? Will there be any other action? ”

"No, Chief of Staff, let's go inside and have a look."

As he spoke, Ge Jianfeng began to lead the way, heading to the tunnel dug inside Niubei Mountain.

Don't look at the three synthetic regiments stationed in Niubei Mountain, on the surface I feel very bitter, but in fact, when I don't fight, this place is really good, much better than sleeping in a sleeping bag.

The space inside the mountain range is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it does not have to withstand wind and rain, and the ammunition and power supply facilities are quite complete.

At that time, it was not the fire department that arranged to dig through the internal drawing structure, and it was not they who started the construction.

But Chen Ming is no stranger to this place, when he broke ground in the past, he often came to watch the situation here.

Now it can be regarded as a revisit.

Inside the passage, there are many lookout facilities across the mountains, making it the best place to monitor the movements of enemy troops.

The inside has been reinforced with cement and steel bars, and there are not only lookouts but also heavy machine gun muzzles facing Niubei Mountain, which poses a great threat to the attacking enemy forces, especially the infantry.

Chen Ming didn't pay too much attention to the internal facilities, and went straight to a lookout to observe the large forces of the Red Army.

The other party really retreated very decisively.

Artillery positions for several kilometers across the horizon were withdrawn, and from his position, at least, there was no trace of the activities of the Red Army.

Verify the other party's actions again, Chen Ming sighed slightly, the Red Army is really cautious.

After planning the battle plan for so long, it is not easy for this kind of opponent to catch their shortcomings.

Don't look at the other party's retreat so simply, Chen Ming also knew that they were in order to adjust the battle plan and be more perfect in the next attack.

This red-blue military exercise has been fought for three or four days, and the main forces of both sides have not suffered much losses.

Played too restrained.

"Deputy Ge Tuan, comrades who worked hard in the second half of the night, took advantage of the night to go to the location where the Red Army was once stationed and lay mines."

"Especially the position where they were stationed in the headquarters before, take care of it more, they will not give up the attack on Niubei Mountain, maybe just before dawn, maybe tomorrow morning."

"In short, no matter what, we can't let them attack so smoothly."

"Okay, I understand." Ge Jianfeng nodded in response.

Subconsciously looked up at the newly appointed chief of staff, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Laying mines, this is a normal arrangement.

I don't know the door of the headquarters, is this a bit lacking in morality?

Who would be a normal person who would have thought of such an idea?

If the Red Army realizes that it is all right, but if it is on the road, although some minefields cannot inflict heavy damage on the Red Army, it should be okay to disgust them, right?

This. Ge Jianfeng really didn't know what to say.

Chen Ming didn't stay here for too long, observing the movements of the Red Army and making sure that the other side had abandoned tonight's plan.

He also took the command car back to the brigade headquarters.

This is the benefit of the Blue Army, fighting in their own territory, the director department directly divides the brigade headquarters building as the Blue Army Headquarters, whether it is garrison, or rest, logistics supply, there is no problem.

Unless the Red Army can pass through the three-gun gate and ascend to the Niutou Mountain garrison, it is impossible to think about using special tactics to cut off the logistics supply of the Blue Army.

It's all for nothing to send as many squads as you want to infiltrate.

A big battle that should have lasted overnight was temporarily withdrawn by Chen Ming.

The three of them had just returned to the brigade headquarters, and before they entered the brigade building, the two doggy figures in front of the building were constantly wandering there.

At this time, it was already late at night, there was a temporary truce, there were not many staff members at the brigade headquarters, and two "idlers" appeared in front of the office building, which was quite noticeable.

"Handsome soldier? Dumbo? Chen Ming looked at the two figures suspiciously.

That's right, the two people who are hanging around here are the "second generals" in the firepower department, Wang Shuaibing and the bald Shen Zufei.

"Why are you here? Don't sleep in the middle of the night? Chen Ming looked at his old comrades-in-arms, calmly removed the majesty of the chief of staff, and asked with a smile.

"Ah, what's that, sister-in-law, it's Director Chai who arranged for us to come over and send your bunk to the brigade headquarters, saying that in the recent battle, you may have to be stationed in the barracks, and there is no cover here."

Wang Shuaibing said hesitantly.

It's okay to talk about this kind of thing in private, Chen Ming didn't believe it at all, Chai Shuyao wanted to send something, so he casually arranged a person from the firepower department, or a person from the propaganda department, to hand over the things to the gate post on the brigade headquarters, and naturally someone would arrange it.

Do you need to run to the firepower and invite this pair of humming two generals?

"Tell me, what's going on." Chen Ming continued to ask, he knew the temperament of these two goods too well.

It's nothing more than seeing that Lao Xiong was transferred to the General Staff, the two of them couldn't sit still, and ran here overnight to find an opportunity to talk.

But the transfer in the army is not a playhouse, although this is a matter of Chen Ming's words, but as comrades-in-arms, the two of them are not willing to stay in a civilian unit like the firepower.

I don't want Chen Ming to be too embarrassed.

In fact, the current firepower department is really incomparable with when Chen Ming first took office.

At that time, there were many important organizational tasks, and each department needed a lot of technical personnel.

Now they have all been changed to exclusive divisional headquarters and staff departments, but the division headquarters does not participate in operations, does not participate in planning and training, but only controls in the general direction.

The staff is logistics, there is no difference, these two naturally can't stay.

"I" Wang Shuaibing scratched his head, he was embarrassed to speak, for fear that Chen Ming would be embarrassed.

But the bald man was in a hurry, and when he saw that this thing was twisting, he glanced at him with disdain, and said loudly: "Report, we also want to transfer over."

"The fire department has no combat mission at present, the only thing that is still busy is the security picket, and the two of us are not in the team, and we have nothing to do all day."

"The old bear squad leader has been transferred to the General Staff, and we want to come over too, otherwise we will be too idle there."

"The logistics place is similar to the elderly, I really can't stand it."

The bald man said truthfully, and deliberately promised that he would never cause trouble, as long as he could fight and move, he could go anywhere.

Wang Shuaibing was embarrassed to mention it, but nodded frantically beside him.

These two living treasures.

Chen Ming was a little helpless, in fact, when he transferred the old bear, he didn't think about these two.

But the staff and the firepower department are different.

There are a lot of jobs here that the two of them can't get involved in, not to mention that Chen Ming himself has just taken office, so it is really indecent to directly drag three people over.

But it can't be allowed to be idle, and it is indeed a bit condescending to put it in today's firepower.

Let's not talk about the bald man, a good fighter, Wang Shuaibing is also a veteran, a lucky general on the battlefield, don't look at his combat ability.

Chen Ming has been in the army for so many years, and he really hasn't heard of this guy being eliminated in the exercise.

No matter how difficult the battle is, he can always find the right place to ensure that he survives, and he can also lead his squad to the end.

This has to be said to be a blessing.

"Hmm" Chen Ming pondered for a moment and said: "Then let's do it, if you don't want to stay in the firepower, then go to Niubei Mountain to find Getuan Deputy Report first."

"In this operation, you will follow the three regiments to garrison Niubei Mountain, and after the battle, I will find someone to transfer you to the special operations battalion or the air defense battalion."

"There are big vacancies in technical positions there, and they can often fight, especially special operations battalions, which have many technical requirements, and they can also drive all-terrain vehicles to make trouble around, you can think about it."

"Okay, don't think about it, thank you, Brother Chen." The two of them can be regarded as getting a new errand.

With big teeth, he was about to go to Niubei Mountain to report, and the old bear stood aside and watched happily.

Including Lao Guo, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his comrades-in-arms of the same year were still in the army, which was a good feeling.

Soldiers are not war machines, and life in the barracks is also very boring, and it is undoubtedly a very happy thing to be accompanied by comrades who have traveled all the way back then.

Many of them don't feel that way anymore.

It's just that Chen Ming climbed fast enough, and he was promoted so fiercely, and there was only one soldier of the same year left around him, Lao Wang.

The others have long since returned to the place, taken off their military uniforms, and went to fight against life.

The soldiers of the iron-clad barracks, the young Shaohua to serve the country, complete their mission, and eventually have to leave.

will go, without exception, but there are really not many comrades of the same year who can stay with them for a while.

Even the comrades-in-arms who were so iron back then, such a good relationship, now they don't even have a group photo, which has to be embarrassing.

Chen Ming arranged for Lao Guo and Lao Xiong to rest, and he returned to the brigade headquarters command room and began to discuss with the brigade commander Xu Wenqian about the possible battle plan that the Red Army might adopt next.

When two armies are at war, others can wait for orders, they cannot.

Whether the Blues can hold off the Red Army's offensive and still take the initiative in the next battle depends on the command and analysis of the two of them.

The bustle of the Blues staff was temporarily suspended, and all units began to recharge their batteries and prepare for the first battle before the early hours of the morning.

But Niubei Mountain is particularly abnormal here.

In the mountains, dense soldiers began to set out in the dark of night, and before setting out, in order to avoid the Red Army leaving scouts nearby.

The synthetic three regiments dispatched drones, thermal imaging, and serious investigation.

After making sure that there was no Red Army activity in the vicinity, men began to be dispatched.

The Blues soldiers, each armed with shovels and mines, scattered in the dark night like wolves.

Some fighters were responsible for burying anti-tank mines, and in the outermost areas, another part of the fighters specially looked for places where the Red Army camped during the day and planted infantry mines.

It's a technical job.

Laying mines is really not just a matter of digging a pit and burying something, veterans with rich combat experience can judge whether there are minefields in certain places just by looking at them and without any detection instruments.

The principle is actually very simple, the grassland of Niutou Mountain is the majority, it is spring at this time, the grass spits new shoots, if there are Red Army soldiers in the early morning to reconnoiter nearby, see that there is no dew on the tip of the grass in an area.

It can be judged that the ground has been dug up, which is not an exaggeration, and the most important thing on the battlefield is the details.

Therefore, when the time is too late, Chen Ming does not ask them to dig out too big a minefield, only one occasionally, as long as it is not concentrated, this kind of is difficult to be found by the naked eye.

Besides, the minefield is meant to prevent the enemy from passing through quickly, or to force them to go around, and there is no possibility of killing or injuring the enemy in a large area at all.

There's no need to dig that much.

Wang Shuaibing and Bald Man were arranged here, and they were quite hot, and the two cooperated to find a place with stake marks on the ground.

Mines are planted nearby.

The Blues are busy, and the Reds are not resting.

After the rest of the other units was arranged, the two commanders of the Red Army were also studying the next battle plan.

Dawn is coming soon.

In the darkest period before dawn, the Blues were deployed again, but not on a large scale.

Only the 3rd Composite Regiment and the UAV Brigade, with the cooperation of the Army Aviation Battalion, fired a few shots at each other in the direction of the retreat of the Red Army.

After the clamor was over, they quickly retreated back to defense.

After waking up all the resting fighters of the Red Army, they ran back to lie down and sleep.

In the morning, the large forces of the Blue Army gathered again, and the main battle tanks on the ground rumbled.

There is quite a kind of decisive battle.

But who knows, it's always thunder and rain, shoot a few shots, take advantage of a little and run.

As a result, the Red Army had to adjust its battle plan again.

But who would have thought that at noon, the Blues came again.
