"Smack!"

In the command room of the Red Army, the brigade commander Peng Tianzheng was angry and slapped on the command platform.

His face was pale.

Half an hour of confrontation, for a brigade-level combat unit, such a little combat time is not a large-scale battle.

In the final battle loss statistics, nearly 20 main battle tanks, 10 infantry combat vehicles, and 6 artillery vehicles were lost.

The battalion commanders were reimbursed by mistake by the Blues, and the first battalion was combined, and the second battalion suffered quite heavy losses.

The Synthetic 5th Brigade does have 112 Type 99A main battle tanks, known as the invincible Land Lion, but they are scattered among various combat units.

The loss of a collision was nearly one-fifth, and Lao Peng's heart was dripping blood in pain.

It doesn't hurt.

On the battlefield, the loss point and other main battle weapons are okay, but the tank is the main force of the charge and head-on confrontation.

So much was knocked out by the Blues.

Zhao Shengkui, the chief of staff next to him, pursed his lips and was speechless, it was originally a good arrangement, who would have thought that the blue army would move so fast, and suddenly dispatched two regiments to encircle.

If you want to fight, you can fight, Lao Tzu will accompany you!!

But that lack of morality, after fighting for half an hour, it will make up a time difference, and the support of the Red Army in the rear will not be in place, so it will run away after taking advantage.

By the time they arrived, the Blues had already jumped five miles.

"Peng Lu, don't be angry yet, at present, the east and west sides of Niubei Mountain have been occupied by us."

"In any case, we can't let it go to the Blues again, otherwise their delays and disruptions will become more and more frequent."

"yes, I know." Peng Tianzheng waved his hand in response, took a deep breath, and was placed by a young teenager, which felt uncomfortable after all.

"Lao Zhao, comrades from the reconnaissance battalion, are going to enter Niubei Mountain tonight, and we can't give the Blue Army another chance no matter what."

"Be careful, don't get caught by the Blues."

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Shengkui, chief of staff of the Red Army, nodded, hesitated for a moment, turned around and said: "Brigade Peng, attack Niubei Mountain tonight, I think Chen Ming should be able to guess our arrangement."

'We don't have a lot of options at the moment and there's a good chance the Blues will be on guard."

"It doesn't matter."

Brigade Commander Peng Tianzheng opened his mouth and said, "I have already asked the comrades who came back from the front just now that the Blue Army was very thorough when they retreated."

"Although Chen Ming's combat is treacherous and changeable, after all, he is inexperienced, and he is here to play the art of dragging the enemy with me."

"Keep an eye on the Blues in the afternoon, and as long as they try to attack, or gather troops, they will fight back immediately, without reporting."

'If the Blues don't move in the afternoon and the night, then cancel the night's action and move on to another option.'

In the end, Peng Tianzheng was still skeptical, indeed, like they currently occupy both sides of Niubei Mountain, the only target that can attack easily is Niubei Mountain.

As long as this mountain range is there, and the people of the Blue Army are there, their Red Army will not be able to cross the mountain range, after all, the artillery array on the slope of the people is not vegetarian.

Chen Ming, the commander of the Blue Army, may not have imagined their night raids, because under modern conditions, night raids are already very old tactics, and the director will intervene to prevent big moves at night, for fear of bombing the camp.

But this, it may not be that Lao Xu can't think of it.

The only thing Peng Tianzheng can judge is to see how the Blues move next.

If the other party is uncharacteristic and honestly lies still, it is likely to be waiting for them to attack at night.

Because of the big movements, it is easy for the Red Army spies to discover that the number and personnel of the Blue Army combat units are wrong.

The task of fighting a war scout is not so simple, and many judgments have to be made by veterans.

The slightest mistake in the enemy unit will cause alarm on this side.

On the contrary, if the Blues are still making a lot of noise and come to harass from time to time, then there is a high probability that the other party has not yet realized the intention of the night attack.

Or they realized that they wanted to take back the main roads on both sides of the mountain they occupied.

Peng Tianzheng's analysis was very correct, and there was nothing wrong with the plan, but he only misestimated the terrain of Niutou Mountain.

Like Guo Canhui, chief of staff of the Baiyun Mountain Regiment, he had only heard and knew that the Niutoushan garrison base was the largest ammunition reserve and training transit base in the two major theaters in the east and even in the central part of the country.

It is necessary to build a huge city for exercises, a large military airport.

But I don't know anything about the situation underground.

At this time.

The troops of the Blue Army on the ground contracted on all fronts, and this time they did not stop at halfway camp, but directly withdrew to the three-gun gate and withdrew in a mighty manner.

It seems that he has taken a big advantage, and he returns to the nest.

In fact, in the intricate corridors underground, countless Blue Army soldiers are equipped with whispered pistols, one person and one individual rocket launcher, unified 191 assault rifles, magazines, and grenades.

It's fully armed.

The underground corridor is not crowded, and it is no problem for a military vehicle to pass in the narrowest place.

But at this time, they did not take the car, so as not to be detected by the scouts on the ground of the Red Army.

Groups of soldiers lined up, marching in orderly steps, through the inner passage of the Three Gun Gate, straight for nearly 30 kilometers, to go to Niubei Mountain to ambush.

The establishment of Niutou Mountain is a major project, and the underground passage against the threat of nuclear weapons can be accessed in every camp.

If it weren't for the engineering troops staying here for several years, building a huge city on the surface, and privately dispatching personnel to dig such a large area of tunnels, and replacing them with other units, they really wouldn't have the ability.

This is the first time that Chen Ming has used it, or the first time that the 704th Division has been put into use.

Anyway, the matter of the underground passage will be notified at that time, so that all units will know, it is better to take this opportunity to show the good brothers of the Red Army, what is called a god soldier from heaven.

There are lights arranged all around the passage, and it is not dark inside, and the soldiers transferred from various battalions are moving in unison.

If you can see through the underground operations from a high altitude, you can see that the military camps behind the Three Gun Gate are converging towards Niubei Mountain like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

Chen Ming's arrangement is not just to clean up a small detachment of the Red Army.

The tactics of dragging the enemy have been used for so long, and it is time to see the results.

If nothing else, tonight will be the beginning of the annihilation of the Red Army, and Chen Ming will use the absolute superiority of the Blue Army to crush the disadvantage of the Red Army, so that the enemy's advantage will not be able to be displayed.

There is no doubt about the Blues' strengths, they are outnumbered and well versed.

And the advantage of the Red Army is that it is strong in firepower, the king of land, unstoppable.

169 Brigade Brigade Headquarters.

Chen Ming, who closed his eyes and rested for a while, got up again, saying that he was going to sleep for a while, but the battle ahead was so fierce that he couldn't sleep at all.

Shaking his groggy head, Chen Ming stood up from the marching bed in the brigade lounge, grabbed the hat next to him and buttoned it up.

Strode out of the lounge.

As a clerk of the General Staff, Xiong Jiuchang was specially responsible for receiving and reporting on the situation of the operations at the front.

At this time, he was waiting not far from the lounge, because he knew that as long as the cannon stopped, Chen Ming would inevitably wake up.

This is a common problem of almost all soldiers, on the battlefield, due to the tight battle situation, when there is no rest, you can only find an opportunity to squint for a while.

If the sound of the cannon is loud and the fight is quite lively, the sleeping person may not wake up, but if the cannon sound stops, the person will be immediately awakened.

"What's going on now?" Chen Ming straightened his clothes and asked quickly.

At the same time, it is also forcing the brain to regain consciousness as soon as possible.

"The report, consistent with the original battle plan, our army retreated, and the Red Army did not risk a counterattack, but held the east and west sides of Niubei Mountain."

"At present, the Red Army has not made any major moves, and it should be specifying the next battle plan."

"Well, inform me and let the battalions, regiments, and command staff come over for a meeting."

"Also, inform the comrades stationed in the 3rd Regiment of Niubeishan not to act without permission to observe the movements of the Red Army during the period when they have not received the task."

"It's okay to observe inside the passage, don't go out of the mountains, don't make any provocative movements, the quieter the better."

"At the same time, tell them that if the Red Army is attacked, or when our army has a big move, they can cooperate with the attack, but they can't go deep, and they will take it when they see it."

"Yes."

The old bear saluted quickly and responded.

Although he wondered why he didn't let the people of Niubeishan move, he wouldn't ask about Chen Ming's order, he just needed to complete it to the letter.

Because from the realization of the present, whether it is in the firepower or in the general staff.

There was nothing wrong with all of Chen Ming's arrangements, so he didn't need to waste his mind to filter it again.

About forty minutes or so.

The regiments, battalions, and all the command staff of the 169 brigade gathered in the conference room of the brigade headquarters.

The difference is that this time the brigade commander Xu Wenqian also came.

Although Xu Wenqian, the commander behind this time, didn't interfere much, it doesn't mean that people are not forced.

That was the 704th Division, the chief of staff of the division, temporarily assigned to the 169th Brigade as the brigade commander, although the rank was the same.

But the meaning is different.

The brigade commander and Chen Ming came to the conference room together, and all the officers present stood up.

"Brigade Xu, Chief of Staff Chen."

"Hehe, comrades, you're welcome, sit down." Xu Wenqian waved his hand.

"I have already talked about this operation, and I will give full authority to Chief of Staff Chen to command."

"Facts have proved that Chief of Staff Chen's tactics of dragging the enemy have indeed worked, and just now, we have achieved a small victory."

"It's worth being happy, come, comrades, let's all give Chief of Staff Chen encouragement and encouragement."

Bang bang bang

In the conference room, bursts of applause rang out, and many officers present showed joy on their faces.

To be honest, this battle is not only of great significance to Chen Ming, but also to those present.

The Niutoushan Strategic Assault Division has been dormant for nearly two years, and it is also a major reorganization and training, and its purpose is not to turn into a qualified whetstone to meet all sides.

However, due to some internal circumstances, the transfer of officers was very frequent, which also brought a lot of pressure to those present.

After all, no matter how fierce the wolves are, no matter how skillful the combat cooperation is, there is no reasonable command from the wolf king.

It's hard to beat a tiger, it's an indisputable fact.

Now under the leadership of Chen Ming, the Blue Army does not dare to say that it is overwhelming, but at least it can be regarded as well-organized and calmly copes with the various arrangements of the Red Army.

There have been two major collisions in the past two days, but the Blues did not suffer, on the contrary, the Red Army suffered heavy losses in today's battle.

It is indeed worth rejoicing.

Listening to the warm applause around him, Chen Ming raised his hand and smiled: "Okay, okay, everyone applauds and means."

"Now is not the time to celebrate, the main forces of the Red Army are still there, and a small area of battle damage is not enough to reverse the difference in firepower between our sides."

"Next, I will arrange today's operational arrangements, if nothing else, tonight will be the beginning of the great rout of the Red Army."

Well?!!

All the officers in the conference room had already begun to record, but when they heard Chen Ming's words, they all looked up at him in shock.

The beginning of the Great Defeat of the Red Army?!!

That's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?

Yes, in the battle just now, two battalions of the Red Army suffered heavy losses, and they were surrounded by their two regiments, and the fighting was quite fierce.

But the Blue Army is not without losses, the battle losses are almost no less than the Red Army, but they have more people and a large establishment, and the proportion in comparison is not so high.

If you want to say that the Red Army has losses, then it is acceptable, but to say that they have been defeated, it is impossible to talk about it.

Military operations are not drunken bragging, casual nonsense, this is very rigorous.

Many of the officers present were puzzled, but Du Longfei, the commander of the Composite Regiment, was in good spirits and sat up straight.

Others don't understand Chen Ming, can he still not understand?

I haven't seen this guy brag at any time, as long as he says that he can make the Red Army rout tonight, then Du Longfei will believe it.

Not to mention the defeat of the Red Army, even if Chen Ming said that the moon would fall tonight, the first thing Du Longfei suspected was whether there was anything similar before.

Instead of doubting the authenticity of what Chen Ming said.

There is no way, this is the incomparable trust of the comrades-in-arms who came out of the same unit in the same unit before.

Without this tacit understanding and trust, how could there be the current tiger and wolf camp.

Chen Ming saw the shock of the people present, and smiled slightly, he had just served as the brigade chief of staff now, and he didn't have any prestige.

The previous results were the past, not the present.

After raising his hand to signal everyone to stop the discussion, Chen Ming's tone began to become serious, and he said: "Comrades, I said that the Red Army will be defeated tonight, not just talking."

"Of course, we also have to do all the things we do."

"Next, I'll arrange the follow-up battle plan."

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

There was a sound of flipping through the record book, and all the officers began to prepare for the record.

"The follow-up battle plan is divided into three steps."

"The second composite regiment, the air defense battalion, the heavy fire battalion directly under the division, the reconnaissance battalion, and even some units of logistics have been mobilized."

"A total of 2,600 soldiers were gathered to go to Niubei Mountain from the underground passage to join the 1,000 men of the three regiments."

"It is expected that around five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the rendezvous will end, and by then, there will be nearly 4,000 fighters gathered in Niubei Mountain."

"What we need to do, first, at present, all units have just withdrawn, rest for three hours, and then all the follow-up dispatches, remember, mobilize all the firepower that can be mobilized for me."

"I don't care what method you use, I must fill the gap of more than 2,000 people, at least on the surface, our attack is still all sorted."

"Second, the offensive should focus on strong pressure, gather all the scattered combat units of the Red Army, and gather them near Niubei Mountain."

"Thirdly, tonight the Red Army is likely to send people into the Niubei Mountain to drag our soldiers who remain there."

"If they move, it will be better, no matter how many people come, they will catch me, strip them of their Red Army combat uniforms, and replace them with our people."

Then let our men chase after the fleeing "Red Army", and let our pretended comrades be the first to enter the positions of the Red Army and disrupt their camps at close range. ”

"If the Red Army doesn't send people, even if it changes for me, you have to give me a reason to come out, in short, I need some people to enter the Red Army garrison first."

"After causing the chaos, nearly 4,000 people from Niubei Mountain were dispatched in unison, without using any heavy tone, and fighting the Red Army in close combat."

"I repeat, the tactics of dragging the enemy are over, and success or failure is tonight."

"Isn't the Red Army firepower? Then we still have a lot of people, melee is more than the number of people, one dozen one, and there can be one more applause next to us. ”

"Do you get it?"

"Understand !!"

All the officers in the conference room responded loudly, and at the same time, they were even more shocked in their hearts.

This newly appointed chief of staff is really terrible, pulling the Red Army into the abyss step by step?

Those who can serve as conductors naturally have uniqueness, and there is no mediocrity.

After what Chen Ming said just now, they understood that this fierce battle against the Red Army was intended to use close combat, as long as the soldiers of the Blue Army rushed into the Red Army camp, the Red Army's big killing weapon would be thrown into the mouse, and it would all become an ornament.

As for why the Blues were in full force after a three-hour break, it's simple.

The two battalions of the Red Army, currently stationed on the east and west sides of Niubei Mountain, did not gather their troops.

The army pressed the realm in order to bring them together.

If you have a garrison in the east and a garrison in the west, the tactics of melee combat will be greatly reduced, because you can rush into this position, but you can't rush into the next one.

The Red Army must be on guard.

What tactics of dragging the enemy, everything was aimed at beating the Red Army in a hurry, and it had to take some necessary precautions.

For example, today's Red Army arranged troops to block the east and west sides of Niubei Mountain.

I still remember that when Chief of Staff Chen did not take over the command, the Red Army did not even look at the gaps on these two sides.

Directly behind Niubei Mountain, a two-kilometer artillery array was opened, and the threat could be felt from dozens of kilometers away.

People just don't look down on the firepower of the Blues, they just bully you, pull the position, and are not afraid of your two-headed impact.

As a result, Chen Ming took over the command, and in only two days, he beat the Red Army cautiously.

Even began to find a way to launch a night attack? Heavy brigade, when did you ever coax it like this?

It's always been a frontal battlefield, crushed all the way, this time

All the officers in the conference room now felt the mood of the air defense battalion commander Xie Canxiong.

That is, if you fight in the future, you can meet any enemy, but you must not run into Chen Ming.

This thing can't fight him at all, and he will lead him by the nose if he is not careful, and the Red Army has a good advantage, even now, it still has an advantage.

But why, after Chen Ming's arrangement, did all of them agree that the Red Army had been defeated?

Helplessness, shock, and all kinds of mixed emotions filled the entire conference room.

They had to admit that Chen Ming had just said that the Red Army would be defeated tonight, and this was really feasible.

"Comrades, do you have any other questions?" Chen Ming's gaze swept over all the officers in the conference room and asked.

"Nope."

Everyone spoke in unison, full of confidence.

Chen Ming looked at the brigade commander Xu Wenqian again, and Lao Xu also shook his head, what else could he say?

"Okay, since there is no problem, all units will go back and prepare."

"Tomorrow morning, I hope to hold a review meeting at the division headquarters,"

"Disband!!"
