"Again?"

Peng Tianzheng, the commander of the Red Army, walked quickly to the garrison with a serious expression, staring solemnly at the steel torrent of the Blue Army in the distance.

"The reconnaissance battalion came to report just now, and the Blue Army did go out again, but I don't know if there will be thunder and rain this time."

Chief of Staff Zhao Shengkui said in a low voice, they were not afraid of repeated interference from the Blues.

The Synthetic 5th Brigade is a heavy brigade, face to face and fight, who are you afraid of?

The problem is that the Blues don't fight you, they just run away with two shots, and the main thing is a distraction.

You say you interfere, interfere, why do you still pose for a decisive battle every time?

This seriously affected the judgment of the command's side.

"Let's renegotiate the attack plan." Brigade Commander Peng Tianzheng spoke calmly, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the commanders in the brigade were here.

He wanted to scold.

Heavy troops, who does not know that the shortcoming is mobility? But the Blues just caught this point, and every time they came, as soon as they met the battle, the other side retreated.

If they don't fight, the other party will bomb them desperately, and the one at the end is called a Laipi.

As soon as the brigade commander said this, all the commanders in the brigade seemed to have their faces as usual, but in fact, they scolded the grandsons of the blue army in their hearts.

The battle plan has been changed again and again, they have not had much rest since last night, and once they hear the sound of artillery on the battlefield, they must command the troops in the shortest possible time, and they must return to their posts even if they are on standby, and there is no such thing as taking turns on duty.

Who would dare to sleep in this situation?

It is no secret that the command of the Blue Army is Chen Ming, or that he has his share.

The officers at all levels of the Red Army hated it so much that they didn't need to think deeply, for today was still an unrestful day for them.

Even they began to miss the two days when they first came to Niutou Mountain, and the blue army was commanded by Lao Xu, and that person was called a general.

The two sides opened up their positions, and the tactics were arranged as they were, how could they be the same as now, sneaky, tossing back and forth, and changing the operational arrangements again and again, disturbing people's peace.

From top to bottom in the Red Army garrison, there was silence, watching the large forces of the Blue Army appear in view, and they just stared at it without giving the order to open fire.

On the periphery, each mobile sentinel and dark sentinel will give truthful feedback on the detected situation.

In the artillery position of the Red Army, a private could not fire the artillery on his own because he had too little experience in joining the army, so he stood outside to study, and his squad leader stood beside him.

The little soldier saw the steel torrent of the Blue Army in the distance appear again, and he was so angry that he was about to cry, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Squad leader, what are these stupid donkeys going to do in the Blue Army."

"They started in the morning and have been running every once in a while, and we still can't fight."

"Silly boy." The squad leader was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and his lungs were about to explode, but when he saw the little soldier he brought with him like this, he was embarrassed to be angry again.

"Slap" slapped on the back of the other party's head, and scolded with a smile: "Calm down, that's how you fight, you have experienced too little."

"The blue army is the enemy, the enemy is using tactics to break our fighting spirit, repeated attacks, false and real, you don't be confused by their arrangement."

"Remember, the reason why they are so tempting is because they can't beat us head-on, if they really have the ability, why don't they just come over and start a war?"

"Well, squad leader, I remember." The little warrior was inspired and his gaze began to become determined.

But the old squad leader who comforted him stood there weakly, and a thick sense of exhaustion in the depths of his eyes enveloped him.

As a veteran, he has a lot of experience, so what if he knows it's a tired tactic for the Blues?

They have traveled long distances and have limited logistical support, and Niutoushan will not provide them with any more material assistance in this operation.

Because the Blue Army simulated the enemy, let alone provide material assistance, if it dragged on for a long time, the rear transportation of their Red Army would be easily explored by the Blue Army scouts.

When the time comes to cut off supplies, they will really be trapped in the beast fight.

What should I do this time? The veteran was puzzled, and a feeling of exhaustion swept through his body, and the feeling of his fist hitting the cotton was really uncomfortable.

"Peng Lu, should we fight or retreat?" In the temporary command room of the Red Army, an officer asked.

Fight, then order now, launch an artillery bombardment on the large forces of the Blues, just like the previous two times, even if the Blues retreat in the end, at least solve the problem this time.

Retreat, then retreat a few more kilometers, away from Niubei Mountain, you can still break up the attack of the Blue Army, because the distance is too far, the Blue Army has lost the cover of Niubei Mountain, and dare to press over with such a big thorn?

With the maximum range of their main battle tank of three kilometers, they can't reach the Red Army, they can only cross Niubei Mountain, how dare they?

Without the use of tanks to open the way, without this kind of protection, the Blues would be even more vulnerable.

At the moment, it seems that they only have these two paths.

Brigade Commander Peng Tianzheng's eyes flickered, he pulled the map and stared at the route above, silent.

He knew that Chen Ming's tactic was to force them to retreat, keep them away from the Blue Army garrison, and then find a way to break up the main force of the Red Army.

But, can I get back? If you retreat again, it is Niutou Lake, which is stipulated by the director to extend the length indefinitely, with a width of two or three hundred meters, and the loss is even greater when you retreat.

Chen Ming is not Xu Wenqian, that kid is not so principled, he can't wait for his troops to retreat.

Peng Tianzheng knew very well that they could not withdraw at present, at least not from Niutou Lake, otherwise, Chen Ming would definitely not give them a chance to cross again.

This kid is really difficult, and his lack of virtue has come home.

"Come, let's reformulate the battle plan."

Peng Tianzheng silently praised his lack of virtue in his heart, although he was angry, he couldn't help but admit it.

Chen Ming did have the talent to lead troops to fight, and by changing the tactical arrangement at will, he disintegrated all their arrangements and fell into passivity.

It's just that the war has just begun, and it is not yet known who will lose and who will win.

"Inform the 1st Battalion, the 2nd Battalion, the Reconnaissance Battalion, well, the reconnaissance battalion is all divided into two battalions except for the necessary reconnaissance detachments."

Peng Tianzheng raised his hand and pointed at the position on the side of Niubei Mountain, and said, "Order the troops, we will retreat another four kilometers."

"Then arrange two battalions, and the east and west will show a corner trend, block here, and confront the blue army."

"Don't they want to play? Isn't it 24-hour non-stop harassment? Then we'll send two battalions over, and I'll see how the Blues get past my men this time. ”

"Come and interfere with my main force."

"Ordered to withdraw again, not to meet this Blue attack."

seems to be an orderly arrangement, but Peng Tianzheng seems to have drained all his strength.

"Tell the other combat units, recuperate, we can't be pinned down by the Blue Army all the time, launch a general offensive tomorrow morning, and take Niubei Mountain no matter what."

"Remove the backbone of the Blues."

"Yes!!"

The officers in the conference room received the order and immediately walked out of the command room and gave the order to retreat again.

"How do you arrange the first battalion and the second battalion?" Chief of Staff Zhao Shengkui spoke.

"How else can it be arranged, just in front of the Blues, go directly to the ambush, sneaking is useless for a host like the Blues."

"Didn't Chen Ming want to disgust Lao Tzu? I asked him to watch, Lao Tzu's two battalions, still blocking their entire Blue Army's offensive intentions. ”

"This little rabbit cub is really in the climate."

The brigade commander Peng Tianzheng scolded with a smile and began to retreat with the troops.

The other side.

Inside the Blues command room.

Chen Ming was quite surprised to learn that the Red Army had retreated without a fight this time.

This is not the style of the 5th Synthetic Brigade, heavy troops, who are not indomitable, who stands in the way, will do whom, and it is not pleasing to the eye.

How can I get back?

"All gone?" Chen Ming was a little unconvinced, and looked up at Xiong Jiuchang.

"Report, not all retreat, the forward reconnaissance battalion came to report, the Red Army has reserved about three battalions of firepower, and it is currently assembling, and there is a posture to advance."

"Three battalions?" Chen Ming shook his head, the main force of the Red Army only has a total of five battalions, and more than half of the battalions are arranged to come over to participate in the battle.

If they are eaten, they will not even have a chance to fight back.

The other party is not so stupid, and he is not so easy to fool.

The troops left behind may be cut off, or they may have other missions, but they are definitely not facing their own side.

That's too much.

Chen Ming got up and accompanied the brigade commander Xu Wenqian to the electronic sand table diagram of the brigade headquarters.

Began to study the intentions of the Red Army.

"Yang Mou." After looking at the electronic sand table for a while, Chen Ming smiled.

"It's really a conspiracy, the Red Army didn't even install it this time, and directly arranged three battalions to block the road, wanting to intercept our main force and buy time for their rear troops to rest and recuperate."

Xu Wenqian said with a smile.

"Do you want to expand the war? It's not that easy. Chen Ming saw the intentions of the Red Army.

"If you want to break my dragging, you have to have enough courage to withdraw far enough."

"Want to hold off the entire Blues with three battalions? Think beautifully. ”

Chen Ming turned his head to look at Du Longfei in the command room, this guy is now the commander of the Synthetic First Regiment, so naturally he doesn't need to fight with the troops, he just needs to sit in the rear.

"Lao Du, at the current pace of our troops, how long will it take for the vanguard and the Red Army to exchange fire?"

"Crossfire? It would take about ten minutes for the vanguard. Du Longfei said truthfully.

There is no need to question this at all, the Blues don't look at the scale of the sortie, in fact, the vast majority of them are main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, this kind of durable weapons.

He did not intend to start a full-scale war with the Red Army, but only to scare and scare them and delay their tactical arrangements in the early stage.

The attack distance of such a main battle weapon is far inferior to that of an artillery car, and even if it is fast, it will take about 10 minutes to engage the Red Army.

"It's too late."

"Lao Du."

"Here."

"Immediately mobilize the strength of the whole regiment, go to Niubei Mountain to help, notify the drone brigade, and interfere with the three battalions left by the Red Army."

"Including the three regiments stationed in Niubei Mountain, cooperate with the dispatch and give me the shortest possible time to meet the Red Army."

"You want to stop me with three battalions? Don't even think about it, either obediently follow the large army and take the initiative to retreat, or let the main force of the Red Army lie there honestly for me and protect the three of them. ”

"Play with me, we can't be stingy."

"Also, order all combat units to immediately gather all the squads that can return in about half an hour, and immediately return to the defense and wait for the next order."

"The Red Army has struck, and I can't help but follow."

"Are you worried that the retreat of the main forces of the Red Army is fake, and you mainly want to use three battalions as bait to lure us out of Niubei Mountain and go to a big battle with them?"

After listening to Chen Ming's instructions, Du Longfei quickly realized the possible thoughts of the Red Army.

Maybe people are not playing Yangmou, but they want to fish you out? Just three battalions are alone there, can you not be tempted?

"It's not that simple, if the command of the Red Army can only think of this arrangement, then there is no need for them to maneuver." Chen Ming smiled, revealing a row of big white teeth in his mouth, looking quite sunny.

It is to command, but without mercy.

"Want to use three battalions to catch the main force of the entire Blue Army? He was not afraid that my fish would be too big, so he would eat the bait and drag him into the water with a pole. ”

"Go, let the troops that have already been dispatched stop advancing and wait for the troops in the rear."

"In any case, the Red Army must not be allowed to leave two or three battalions here disgusting people."

"Understood!!"

Du Longfei responded and strode out of the command room.

Chen Ming stayed in the command room and waited for news, the current battle situation is actually unclear for both sides, and the battle situation has always been stalemate until now.

Both the red and blue sides have no predetermined goals, and they are completely focused on consuming the opponent's main force.

This kind of global style of play is already very passive for the Blues.

Because they have a large number of people and are still at home, if they lose these favorable conditions, I am afraid that the war situation will be even more miserable.

Therefore, the tactics of dragging the enemy arranged by Chen Ming were nothing more than trying to find a breakthrough for the Red Army and disrupt this situation.

There is no doubt that the Red Army was reluctant to withdraw, and perhaps this gap was in the body of three battalions.

Chen Ming firmly believed that it was impossible for the Red Army to watch its three battalions being besieged without rescuing.

Even if it is three heavy battalions, no matter how strong their combat effectiveness and good cooperation are, it is not a problem to be able to withstand three or five hours, but can they withstand ten or twenty hours?

Chen Ming's purpose was to force the Red Army to constantly change their operational plans, and in the process of replacement, there would be more and more loopholes.

In the end, it can't be ended, and the battle is passive, and the goal is achieved.

Xu Wenqian, who had been listening to Chen Ming's analysis next to him, shook his head silently, and inexplicably felt a little distressed about Lao Peng, who was synthesized into the 5th Brigade.

He clearly held the heavily armored troops in his hands, but he did not dare to cross the Niubei Mountain to attack directly, for fear of being blocked from the front and back.

should have been indomitable, but because of concerns, he could only retreat again and again, and was pinched by a mountain.

Of course, Xu Wenqian also knew, and Chen Ming also knew that the Red Army was not afraid of Niubei Mountain, let alone worried about the anticline layout.

These only reduced the battle losses of the Blue Army, but could not stop the attack of the heavily armed troops, and the reason why the Red Army was timid was because of the strategic materials this time, which Niutoushan no longer provided.

Everything had to be transported from the rear.

In the event that the Red Army marches straight in, the rear is unstable, or the supply is cut off, no matter how much firepower there is in front, it will have to lie down.

Without logistics, the main force is a toothless paper tiger, and I am afraid that I don't even have the strength to roar.

"Lao Chen, are you so sure that the three battalions left behind by the Red Army are not to be used as bait to induce us to arrange troops to attack?"

"If it's a bait, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble if you arrange a block like this."

In the command room, Xie Canxiong, commander of the air defense battalion, ran over to ask.

At present, there is no task for their battalion, and he himself is idle.

Hearing this, Chen Ming ran to the side unhurriedly, poured a cup of tea, and drank it all.

"No, it won't."

"Judging from the distribution of firepower of the heavy brigade, even if they want to use bait, they will not be able to take the courage of three battalions."

"According to my estimates, the Red Army left three combat battalions either to form a major resistance on both sides of Niubei Mountain, to block this disruptive attack of the Blue Army, and to give the Red Army units in the rear a chance to recuperate."

"Either stay where you are, concentrate the firepower of the three battalions, and attack and retreat and defend."

"As a bait, this temptation is really not big, the three battalions of the heavy brigade are equivalent to the main force of one of our regiments, who have you ever seen use such a large main force as bait?"

Forehead.

Xie Canxiong was speechless for a long time, and just wanted to raise his head and say something, but lowered his head again.

When he used to study at the Shimen Army Command Academy, he was still Chen Ming's neighbor.

There was not much difference between the two of them back then, why was it only a few years before Chen Ming was able to command a brigade to fight?

is still so confident, he seems to be able to hang up, and heard the strategic layout of the Red Army?

said that the strategy of the Red Army is a conspiracy, so what is Chen Ming?

Ay!!

Xie Canxiong sighed lightly, and looked at Chen Ming's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little more indescribable and inexplicable awe.

He has been in the army for many years.

It was the first time for him to feel that fighting a war could be so difficult, because the comrade in front of him was too terrible.

Good at analyzing opponents, good at finding opponents' weaknesses, and even better at analyzing the situation.

In comparison, he is far inferior.

After returning from the Shimen Joint Operations Academy, Chen Ming rose all the way, he was still a battalion commander, and he was a little unconvinced before, but now he is not convinced.

If you really give him a brigade, he doesn't have the ability to command.

After Chen Ming finished arranging, he stretched his waist, sat on the sofa next to him and closed his eyes to recuperate, waiting for the battle news ahead.

Now he no longer needs to go to the battlefield in person, he has just returned to the front line, there is no way, he must understand the current combat capabilities of the Blue Army and the Red Army, and whether there is a gap.

How big is the gap?

If you don't understand this, no matter how stable the tactical arrangement is, no matter how reasonable the analysis is.

He is super god all the way in the rear, and he is defeated all the way to the front, has a fart?

Knowing himself and knowing that he has won a hundred battles, Chen Ming did not dare to say that he could command a hundred battles and win a complete victory.

At least when you just become chief of staff, you have to fight a better battle, right?

Facts have proved that Chen Ming's guess was not wrong.

Or his analysis will not be wrong, he has not been to the 5th Brigade of the Synthetic Brigade, he has been in the 71st Army for so long, and he is quite familiar with the commander of the 5th Brigade.

Niutou Mountain is his territory again, and when the two are combined, there are too many reasons for the analysis he can get.

He knew what the Red Army was worried about, how it would fight next, and how it would be arranged to the maximum.

If this continues, it is not surprising that in the early days of the war, the Red Army was constrained everywhere.

Why was Brigade Commander Xu Wenqian restricted? Isn't it that the two commanders of the Red Army are too familiar with him, and the two of them are working together to study a person who is already familiar, can it not be strong?

Fighting a war is a game between commanders.

The so-called soldier is a bear.
