Leaving today?

Chen Ming came out of the bathroom, scrubbing his face with a towel in his hand, and he was quite surprised by the news.

Although Lao Guo and him were very unhappy because of some things, after experiencing the competition, the two became close friends, and some things back then were scattered with the wind.

"Yes, the duty is on the body, and you can't stay too long." Guo Canhui didn't say anything polite to Chen Ming, pulled the chair in the dormitory and sat down, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Cocking Erlang's legs, his rare expression was a little serious, and he said quietly: "Old Chen, to be honest, I didn't expect you to defeat the Red Army this time."

"I'm going back to southern Xinjiang, and I won't be able to walk the military road for a few years, just in the next three or four years, I will also retire."

"As a veteran, let me give you some advice, this defeat of the Red Army will inevitably attract the attention of the theater and the military department, and you will also become the object of attention."

"It's not necessarily a good thing for you."

"So far, the 704th Division has not taken off the title of pilot division, and I don't know what the people above think."

"But the Blues, hey."

Guo Canhui sighed and continued: "With your talent, plus, there are people above to escort you, and you have a worry-free future."

"But the old man who escorted the escort is about to retreat, if you can not enter the Blue Army Brigade, you will not enter, otherwise it will be difficult to bring pine branches in the future."

"Of course, this is my humble opinion, how to choose or how to choose, it depends on you, I'm afraid you can't control it."

After speaking, Guo Canhui took a puff of his cigarette, sat there and swallowed the clouds, and was silent.

In this regard, Chen Ming only nodded and did not speak.

He really can't control this kind of thing, at least not at the moment.

The old man was about to retire, and he knew that he had been transferred to the firepower department when he came back from Shimen for further study, and he later understood why.

One person retreats, representing the end of the entire era, and those old comrades-in-arms must retreat.

There are still two generations between the older generation and himself, and when he first took over as chief of staff, Chen Ming realized that he had to hold up for himself.

It's just, is it that easy?

"Forget Lao Guo, don't mention this." Chen Ming smiled and put the towel in the bathroom.

I don't want to talk about some issues that are too long-term at this juncture.

Putting on a military jacket, Chen Ming proposed: "Let's go, I didn't accompany you to Niutou Mountain to have a good walk, and I'm afraid I won't have a chance today."

"Go downstairs to the cafeteria and have a good meal."

"Just do it for you."

"Cheng, just wait for your kid's words, haha!!"

Guo Canhui is not hypocritical, what he can say and remind, he has said and done.

According to Chen Ming's intelligence, how could he not understand what it meant, no matter how much it is, it is useless.

The two ran to the brigade canteen, Chen Ming was a celebrity in the brigade at this time, and he was greeted everywhere he went.

The chief of staff of the brigade and the head of the department were completely captured by him in the first battle.

Sitting in the cafeteria, the two talked about the three-service joint exercise a few years ago, talked about the competition, and talked about the red and blue operations to the end.

Guo Canhui no longer has much development prospects in the army, but Chen Ming is at the same level as him, but he is in full swing and is in a flourishing period.

He had nothing to keep, and he analyzed the combat experience of many mountain brigades to Chen Ming.

Niutou Mountain is located in Fuzhou, and the combat terrain is not limited to Niutou Lake, Niubei Mountain, and there are many terrains, but the reloaded travel route cannot take that kind of terrain at all.

The slope was more than thirty, the basic performance of the tank was reduced by more than half, and before the battle was fought, more than half was lost, so this time the Red Army did not choose those roads.

But there are not only heavy brigades in the Eastern Theater, but also ace troops, and there will be many challenges in Niutoushan in the future.

The whetstone naturally has to sharpen the world's famous swords, and the edge of the sword is sharpened, and they have more responsibilities.

Chen Ming benefited a lot from the conversation during breakfast, and finally arranged for Lao Xiong to drive Guo Canhui to Ludao Airport.

From Fuzhou to southern Xinjiang, the road is long.

As a soldier, Chen Ming still has a mission on his side, and he can't send it too far.

I can only wave goodbye to my comrades.

In this encounter, Chen Ming knew that it would be difficult for him to talk as easily as he did today in the future.

Including the artillery brigade that is about to go to the 71st Army, brigade commander Tang Zhen, and chief of staff Peng Qinglin, they have been leaving the army one after another in the past few years.

Veterans don't die, they just fade away.

Even if they become officers and hold important positions in the army, when they reach the age and do not go any further, they will have to retire.

Send Lao Guo away.

Chen Ming returned to the brigade headquarters, sorted out some materials, called the officers of the General Staff, and drove him to the division headquarters.

At this time.

The headquarters of the 704th Division, as the director's department, ended last night's exercise, and today is the time to hold a review meeting.

In fact, it doesn't matter how the exercise is fought, how the battle is fought, and how fierce the battle is, it is nothing more than a game between commanders and training troops.

What really matters, or is valued above, is the review meeting after the exercise.

The two sides have been able to sum up experience from this and attach importance to conclusions rather than winning or losing, and this is what the military department has been advocating for many years.

This kind of meeting, whether it is the composite 5th Brigade of the Red Army or the 169th Brigade of the Blue Army, the battalion level and above officers, must all be present.

Not only the commanders of the combat units, but even the General Staff of the Theater Army, Chief of Staff Jiang Zhenjun, came.

From this, it can be seen that Guo Canhui's reminder just now was correct, this time Chen Ming defeated the Red Army in a devastating way, which not only shook the entire strategic assault division.

Including the theater of operations, the military department, are very concerned about the situation here.

Otherwise, why not alarm the head of the army staff in the theater to come over?

When Chen Ming arrived at the parking lot of the division headquarters by car, as soon as he got out of the car, Du Longfei, the commander of the 1st Composite Regiment, and Zhang Jintao, the political commissar of the 169th Brigade, these two old partners were already waiting here.

Especially Zhang Jintao, seeing that Chen Ming only came over at this time, he couldn't help but smile with a sigh: "Old Chen, you can really calm down."

"This review meeting, but to listen to your speech and learn your battle ideas, you are more or less half a hero, right?"

"Why did you delay coming now?"

"That's it, Lao Zhang and I have been waiting for you here for twenty minutes." Du Longfei said with a smile.

is the head of the regiment, the position has been adjusted compared to a few years ago, and now the three of them meet, and they are still quite cordial.

This is the comradeship that has been cultivated in the new unit, led from scratch.

"What are you waiting for me to do? The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. After Chen Ming got out of the car, he ridiculed the two without scruples.

"Hey, you kid is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin."

"It's just that I don't know the hearts of good people."

The two sang and laughed in harmony, and they were both happy for Chen Ming's feat this time.

Synthetic 5 brigades.

The 71st Army's fragrant gluttony hangs on the tip of the heart, and when Xu Wenqian, the brigade commander of the Blue Army, wanted to let his command go a few days ago, he also discussed it with Zhang Jintao.

Lao Zhang is also the political commissar of the brigade no matter what he says, and he can still put forward some opinions if he gives off the military command.

But it's a pity that Lao Zhang has a mysterious confidence in Chen Ming's ability, so he almost patted his chest and said that he was fine.

But this is the trust between the three of them, which does not mean that Zhang Jintao is really not worried.

He never imagined that in just three days when the command was handed over to Chen Ming, the menacing Red Army would be defeated, and the main force would still be there.

The most important thing is that after the exercise, the main battle framework on the side of the Blue Army is still there, and it has not suffered too much loss.

This kind of record, wherever it goes, is the master who can walk with his head held high.

"Alright, let's stop chatting, the review meeting will start in half an hour."

"The chief of the war zone has come over, and the battalion commander on the side of the Red Army has also been notified in place."

"Let's not stand here, let's go to the building."

Zhang Jintao invited, Chen Ming naturally had no opinion, and still remembered the first time he participated in the review meeting, it was a few years ago, at that time, he was just a scrap in the conference room, and he didn't have any right to speak.

It's only been four years, and in the second review meeting, he has also become half of the protagonist.

This kind of progress is not insignificant.

The review meeting had not yet begun, and the commanders at all levels were waiting outside.

Chen Ming and the three of them are all frequent visitors to the division headquarters, so there is nothing to restrain here.

The office area of the division headquarters and the office of the director department are set up on the fifth floor, where there will be a lot of people.

They didn't go over to join in the fun, but went into the living room on the second floor and sat and chatted.

At the end of a large-scale exercise, the only ones who were nervous were the officers who had not yet participated in the review meeting.

The other soldiers relaxed a lot.

In particular, the battalions of Niutoushan can be said to have laid the foundation and strengthened their confidence in this great victory.

There is quite a kind of momentum of the Blue Army.

Although they did not sleep all night, when the battalion commanders gathered at the division headquarters to participate in the review meeting, the clarion call of the training assembly of the companies below was still strong.

The loud horn sounded over Niutou Mountain, and the faint shouting of killing reflected the waves in the distance, and the momentum of the strong army was useless.

Jiang Zhenjun, that is, chief of staff of the Army General Staff of the Eastern Theater Theater, personally came to attend the review meeting this time.

When Chen Ming first entered the battalion, he was praised by the commander of the artillery brigade during a recruit training, saying that he was very similar to Jiang Zhenjun back then, and his tenacity and dedication to the goal were the same as those who could influence the people around him.

Both of their personalities never talk about it, and their goals are buried deep in their hearts and move forward silently.

Now that ten years have passed, Jiang Zhenjun has finally noticed Chen Ming, or he has paid more attention to it.

In the past, he also knew that there was such a rising star, but he didn't know the praise of Tang Zhen, the commander of the artillery brigade back then.

For a person in his position, a company-level cadre, or a battalion, is really unsightly.

Now it's different.

Although Chen Ming has not been promoted, and the report of the 704th Division in the theater has not been clearly disclosed, there is no doubt that no one can ignore Chen Ming's performance in this operation.

Standing on the fifth floor of the division headquarters, Jiang Zhenjun looked at the soldiers of the various companies of Niutou Mountain passing by in the distance, and his expression showed a look of relief.

The 704th Division is still a pure army unit, and the Jiaolong Brigade of the Navy and the Falcon Brigade of the Air Force have not come over at present.

The existence of a combat unit of this magnitude shows that the theater has made great efforts to promote the pilot project and the military department has vigorously supported it, and it has gone through three years of preparation and implementation.

Today, we are finally seeing the results.

"Yes, today's 704th Division looks more invincible."

"It seems that the effect of the training and rectification of the troops a while ago is obvious."

Jiang Zhenjun praised without hesitation, and it could be heard that he was indeed happy because the current Blue Army Division had become large.

Behind him, Wang Junwei, the commander of the 704th Division, grinned, he used to bring a mixed brigade, and it had nothing to do with the ace or the main force at all.

Now that the time has come to operate, the 169 Brigade has become a pilot unit, and if there is such an achievement, he is the happiest.

"Hmph"

Seeing Wang Junwei baring his teeth and silly music, the Red Army brigade commander Peng Tianzheng snorted coldly, quite unaccustomed to his snorting bear-like.

Realizing that the atmosphere behind him was a little delicate, Jiang Zhenjun glanced back at the two of them, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In fact, all three of them are from the same group.

Like Tang Zhen in the artillery brigade, the age difference is only five or six years old.

It's just that his personal circumstances are different, Jiang Zhenjun has a higher position, and he is already a bigwig-level figure in the army.

Peng Tianzheng, Wang Junwei, and Tang Zhen are the types with relatively ordinary circumstances.

Talking in private, as an old comrade-in-arms, he will not be too restrained.

"I said Lao Peng, you are also an experienced veteran, why did you fall into the way of a young descendant so easily in this battle?"

"Tell me, how did Chen Ming disrupt your arrangement?"

Jiang Zhenjun asked with interest, he was not clear about the details of the operation.

Not to mention him, before this morning, there were even quite a few people in the theater who did not believe that the Red Army had lost the exercise.

Just now, I was able to receive a call from various units to confirm the news.

Who would have thought that the heavy brigade, the king of the land, who claimed to be able to settle the battle in one battle, would be completely destroyed in less than five days after landing on the battlefield.

It can almost be described as a rout.

Who would dare to believe it?

You must know that even if it is a regional battle, the total number of troops invested by both sides can reach the level of 100,000, and a heavy brigade can carry it for a few days, right?

A heavy brigade, five or six thousand men, artillery trucks, and tanks of three or four hundred, are gathered in one place, unless large-scale weapons of destruction are used.

Otherwise, who would dare to say that it takes five or six days to eat them?

Not to mention five or six thousand people, you just sprinkle six thousand old hens on Niutou Mountain, some of which are still locked in chicken cages, not allowed to run around, five days, with more than 10,000 people in the Blue Army, looking for them everywhere, and you can't catch them all, right?

What's more, a heavy brigade with extremely high combat quality and hard equipment?

"Hey!"

When it came to the process of this defeat, Peng Tianzheng was also helpless, but when the chief of staff asked, he couldn't help but say it.

In front of old comrades-in-arms, there is nothing to say.

"Don't mention Chief of Staff Jiang, Chen Ming's kid is really an old slippery head."

"No, little slippery."

"I can figure out his combat habits, dare to try, dare to design, there is nothing he dare not do."

"At the beginning, our army had just crossed Niutou Lake and successfully crossed the river, and Lao Xu's style of play was on the stable and heavy side, with more than enough defense and insufficient offense."

"Therefore, I arranged for all the soldiers of the Red Army to open an artillery position of two or three kilometers horizontally on the north side of Niubei Mountain."

"The muzzle of the cannon is aimed at the Niubei Mountain, only surround and not fight, all of them rest, waiting for the night to take the Niubei Mountain."

"At that time, we had just crossed the lake, and the morale of our soldiers was high."

"yes, that's right." Jiang Zhenjun nodded, Peng Tianzheng's arrangement was not wrong, it was very reasonable.

The artillery battle formation was stretched horizontally, taking into account both the beginning and the end, and the heavy artillery was pressing the formation, and it was indeed difficult for the blue army to have the confidence to face the tough battle.

"That's right, but I didn't expect a sudden change of command, after Chen Ming took over, he didn't care how powerful the artillery array on my side was, he directly ordered the blue army to dispatch and attack."

"This is the posture of a decisive battle, and the strange thing is that the blue army seems to be very clear about my arrangement, specially arranging for the aviation to attack the weak points of our artillery array, and also arranging for the special operations battalion to attack from the rear."

"Delayed my arrangement, and I had to withdraw the long-distance battle formation."

"This retreat, even worse, Chen Ming arranged for the entire Blue Army to be dispatched from time to time, and each time it couldn't last long, and it retreated decisively."

"My plan to attack Niubei Mountain has been put on hold."

"Who knows, when I finally occupied the main roads on both sides of Niubei Mountain again, Chen Ming actually knew that I was going to do this, digging minefields nearby, and hiding thousands of soldiers in the mountains."

"Just when I attacked, the nest was dispatched, and thousands of people rushed across the nearby positions."

"This"

After Jiang Zhenjun listened, he didn't know what to say, listening to others was very plain, but he was also a soldier, so he naturally knew that it would never be so easy when fighting in the middle.

It's really a step back, step by step.

It can be seen from this that Chen Ming's tactics belong to the type of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, and he does not give the Red Army a chance to breathe at all.

With the help of home advantage, he repeatedly attacked, disrupted the enemy's arrangement, and was led by the opponent's nose by his arrangement.

"If I'm not mistaken, Chen Ming participated in the competition from Shimen, and after returning from the first place in the overall competition, he directly took over the command of the Blue Army without knowing the battle situation, right?"

Jiang Zhenjun said faintly, there is no clever tactic, but if you can win, it is a good tactic.

"This son is really powerful."

"It's not that exaggerated." Hearing Chief of Staff Jiang's praise, Xu Wenqian, commander of the 169th Brigade, laughed and said, "Chen Ming just came back and didn't come to the division headquarters to report."

"At that time, he was still a person from the fire department, and he ran to the artillery column of the Red Army in advance to reconnoiter at close range."

"Then I went back to the division headquarters to receive the letter of appointment, and after the battle, I went to the front line to measure the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the red and blue sides."

"That's when I came back to make a battle plan."

"He made a time difference, and he didn't do it until he was well prepared, not because he didn't know the details."

Xu Wenqian explained with some embarrassment that the Red Army commander did not know the details of this, but the review meeting could not be bypassed.

Review is to re-interpret the entire battle situation and find the shortcomings from it.

At the beginning, Chen Ming secretly went to investigate, how could he hide it.

"What? You said that Chen Ming, as a firepower officer, went to our position to inspect at close range? ”

Hearing this, the Red Army brigade commander Peng Tianzheng's eyes widened, and his nose almost erupted into flames.

This is so lacking in virtue, no wonder the opponent's first battle is so targeted.

The artillery array was a few kilometers apart, and the Blues were able to find weak points and attack strongly, resulting in them having to gather their troops to avoid excessive losses.

Who would have thought that this kid had ever been here?

"Don't be surprised, he's not a violator, even if he doesn't take over the command this time, he'll still go around with you."

"Because Chen Ming's temperament is like this, every time he fights, he can't sit still."

Wang Junwei reminded with a smile.

The surrounding group of people were speechless, and after thinking about it, they did not violate the rules.

Can. That's too doggy, isn't it?

Peng Tianzheng sighed, losing is losing, and now it's useless to say anything.
