They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 399 Shocked the entire brigade, the enemy they least wanted to encounter

"Snapped!"

In the Red Army command room, brigade commander Peng Tianzheng was furious and slapped him on the command podium.

His face was ashen.

A half-hour confrontation, for a brigade-level combat unit, such a small amount of combat time is not considered a large-scale battle.

The final battle damage statistics showed that nearly 20 main battle tanks, 10 infantry fighting vehicles, and 6 artillery vehicles were lost.

Two of the battalion commanders were accidentally killed by the Blue Army and merged into the first battalion. The second battalion suffered heavy losses.

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

A collision caused nearly one-fifth of the damage, and Lao Peng was so painful that his heart was bleeding.

It doesn’t hurt.

On the battlefield, the losses of other main battle weapons are fine, but tanks are the main force in charge and frontal confrontation.

So much was knocked off by the Blues.

Next to him, Chief of Staff Zhao Shengkui pursed his lips and was speechless. It was a good arrangement, but who would have thought that the Blue Army would move so quickly and suddenly send out two regiments to encircle them.

If you want to fight, just fight, I will accompany you! !

But that unscrupulous thing, fighting for half an hour, just makes up a time difference. The support of the Red Army from behind is not in place, so they run away after taking advantage.

By the time their support arrived, the Blue Army had already jumped five miles away.

"Peng Lu, don't be angry yet. Currently, we have occupied both the east and west sides of Niubei Mountain."

"This time we cannot leave it to the Blues no matter what, otherwise their delays and interference will become more and more frequent."

"Yes, I know." Peng Tianzheng waved his hand in response and took a deep breath. It felt uncomfortable to be treated by a teenager.

"Old Zhao, comrades from the reconnaissance battalion are gathering and preparing to enter Niubei Mountain tonight. No matter what, we must not give the Blue Army another chance."

"Be careful, don't get discovered by the Blue Army's reconnaissance."

"Okay, I understand." Red Army Chief of Staff Zhao Shengkui nodded, hesitated, and turned back and said: "Peng Brigade, attack Niubei Mountain tonight. I think Chen Ming should be able to guess our arrangement."

"We don't have many options at the moment. The Blues are likely to set up defenses."

"It doesn't matter."

Brigadier Peng Tianzheng spoke up and said, "I have just asked the comrades who came back from earlier that the Blue Army was very thorough in their retreat."

"Although Chen Ming fights cunningly and changeably, he is inexperienced after all. He is trying to trick the enemy with me here."

"Watch the Blue Army closely in the afternoon. Whenever they try to attack or gather troops, we will counterattack immediately without reporting."

"If the Blues don't take any action throughout the afternoon and night, then cancel the evening operation and find another plan."

In the end, Peng Tianzheng still had doubts. Indeed, as they currently occupied both sides of Niubei Mountain, the only target they could easily attack was Niubei Mountain.

As long as this mountain ridge is there and the Blue Army's people are there, the Red Army will not be able to cross the mountain ridge. After all, their sloping artillery array is not a vegetarian.

Chen Ming, the commander of the Blue Army, may not have thought of their night raid, because under modern conditions, night raids are already a very old tactic, and the director would intervene to prevent big movements at night for fear of bombing the camp.

But this is not necessarily what Lao Xu would have thought of.

The only thing Peng Tianzheng can judge is to see how the Blue Army will act next.

If the other party behaves uncharacteristically and stays still, they are probably waiting for them to attack at night.

Because of the big movement, it is easy for the Red Army spies to discover that the Blue Army combat units are not in the right numbers and personnel.

The task of a combat scout is not that simple, and many judgments must be made by veterans.

The slightest mistake in the enemy's troops will cause alert here.

On the other hand, if the Blue Army is still very noisy and comes to harass them from time to time, then there is a high probability that the opponent has not realized the plan of the night attack.

Or maybe they realized it and wanted to take back the important roads on both sides of the mountain they occupied.

Peng Tianzheng's analysis was correct and his plan was correct, but he only misjudged the terrain of Niutoushan.

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 in the two major theaters in the east and even the central area, as well as a training and transfer base.

A giant exercise city and a large military airport will be built here.

But the only thing I don't know about the situation underground is that I don't know anything about it.

at this time.

The Blue Army's troops on the ground shrank across the board. This time they did not stop and camp halfway, but retreated directly to Sangun Gate in a mighty retreat.

It looked like he had taken advantage of him, and he happily returned to his home.

In fact, in the intricate tunnels underground, countless Blue Army soldiers are uniformly equipped with silent pistols, one-shot individual rocket launchers per person, and uniformly equipped 191 assault rifles, magazines, and grenades.

It can be said to be fully armed.

The underground corridor is not crowded, and a military vehicle can pass through the narrowest place with no problem.

But at this time, they were not riding in the car to avoid being detected by the Red Army's ground reconnaissance troops.

Group after group of soldiers lined up, walking in neat steps, and walked straight for nearly 30 kilometers from the inner passage of Sangun Gate to ambush Niubei Mountain.

The establishment of Niutoushan is a big project. The underground anti-nuclear threat channel can be accessed in every camp.

If the engineering troops hadn't stayed here for several years, openly building a huge city, and secretly dispatching personnel to dig such a large area of ​​tunnels, other units would really not be able to do this.

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

Anyway, the matter of the underground passage will be notified when the time comes, so that all units will know. Why not take this opportunity to show the good brothers of the Red Army what it means to be a magic weapon descended from the sky.

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

If one could see through the underground operations from a high altitude, one would be able to see that the military camps behind Sangun Gate were converging toward Niubei Mountain like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.

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

After using the enemy's tactics for so long, it's time to see results.

If nothing else goes wrong, tonight will be the beginning of the complete annihilation of the Red Army. Chen Ming will use the absolute advantage of the Blue Army to crush the Red Army's disadvantages and make it impossible for the enemy to use its advantages.

There is no doubt that the Blues have the advantage of having more people and familiar ground.

The advantage of the Red Army is its powerful firepower. It is the king of land and is unstoppable.

169 Brigade Headquarters.

After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Chen Ming got up again and said he was going to sleep for a while. The battle ahead was so fierce that he couldn't sleep at all.

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

He strode out of the lounge.

As the clerk of the staff department, Xiong Jiuchang is responsible for receiving and reporting on the combat situation at the front.

At this time, he was waiting not far from the lounge, because he knew that as soon as the sound of gunfire stopped, Chen Ming would definitely wake up.

This is a common problem among almost all soldiers. On the battlefield, due to the tight fighting situation, when there is no rest, they can only find opportunities to relax for a while.

If the sound of cannons is loud and the fighting is very lively, sleeping people may not wake up, but if the sound of cannons stops, people will be awakened immediately.

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

It also forces the brain to regain consciousness as quickly as possible.

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

"The Red Army has not taken any major actions at the moment. It should be formulating its next battle plan."

"Well, please notify us and ask the battalions, regiments, and commanders to come over for a meeting."

"Also, inform the comrades stationed in the Third Regiment at Niubei Mountain not to take any unauthorized action to observe the movements of the Red Army before receiving a mission."

"It's okay to observe in the passage. Don't go out of the mountains or make any provocative actions. The quieter the better."

"At the same time, tell them that if the Red Army is attacked, or if our army makes a big move, they can cooperate with the attack, but they cannot go deep, and they will stop as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The old bear responded with a quick salute.

Although he was confused as to why the people from Niubei Mountain were not allowed to take action, he would not ask about Chen Ming's order, he just had to complete it to the letter.

Because from the time I met him to the present, whether he was in the firepower department or in the staff department.

There were no mistakes in all Chen Ming's arrangements, so there was no need for him to waste his brain to filter them again.

Probably about forty minutes passed.

All commanders and regiments of the 169th Brigade gathered in the brigade headquarters conference room.

The difference is that this time brigade commander Xu Wenqian is also here. Although Xu Wenqian, the conductor behind the scenes, didn't interfere much this time, it doesn't mean that he has no talent.

That was the 704th Division, the division chief of staff, who was temporarily transferred to the 169th Brigade to serve as 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.

"Lv Xu, Chief of Staff Chen."

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

"I have already said that all the power for this battle will be given to Chief of Staff Chen."

"Facts have proved that Chief of Staff Chen's tactics of delaying the enemy have indeed been effective. Just now, we achieved a small-scale victory."

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

Bang bang bang bang

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

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

The Niutoushan Strategic Assault Division has been dormant for nearly two years, undergoing major reorganization and training. The purpose is not only to turn it into a qualified whetstone to fight against all parties.

However, due to some internal circumstances, officers were transferred very frequently, which also brought considerable pressure to those present.

After all, no matter how ferocious the pack of wolves is, no matter how skillful their combat coordination is, they will not have the reasonable command of the wolf king.

It is also difficult to fight against a fierce tiger. This is an indisputable fact.

Now under the leadership of Chen Ming, the Blue Army cannot be said to be unstoppable, but at least it is well organized and can calmly deal with various arrangements of the Red Army.

There have been two big collisions in the past two days, but the Blue Army did not suffer a loss. On the contrary, the Red Army still suffered a big loss in today's battle.

It's indeed something to be happy about.

Listening to the warm applause around him, Chen Ming raised his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, everyone, just applaud as you mean."

"Now is not the time to celebrate. The main force of the Red Army is still there, and the small-scale battle damage is not enough to reverse the firepower gap between our two sides."

"Next, I will lay out today's combat arrangements. If nothing else happens, tonight will be the beginning of the Red Army's rout."

Um? ! !

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

The beginning of the Red Army's rout? ! !

Isn't this statement a bit exaggerated?

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

But the Blue Army was not without losses. The battle losses were almost as much as those of the Red Army. It was just that they had more people and a larger organization, so the comparison ratio was not that high.

To say that the Red Army suffered losses is acceptable, but to say that they suffered a rout is impossible to say.

Military operations are not about drunken bragging and casual nonsense. They are very rigorous.

Many of the officers present were puzzled, except Du Longfei, the leader of the combined regiment, who was full of energy and sat up straight.

If others don't understand Chen Ming, can he still understand?

I have never seen this guy bragging before. As long as he said that the Red Army could be defeated tonight, Du Longfei would believe it.

Not to mention the Red Army's defeat, even if Chen Ming said that the moon would fall tonight, Du Longfei's first doubt would be whether similar things had happened before.

Instead of doubting the authenticity of what Chen Ming said.

There is no way, this is the unparalleled trust of comrades who were in the same unit and shared the joys and sorrows together.

Without this tacit understanding and trust, there would be no Tiger Wolf Camp today.

Chen Ming saw the shock of the people present and smiled slightly. He had just served as the brigade chief of staff and did not have much prestige yet.

Previous results are from the past and cannot represent the present.

After raising his hand to indicate that everyone should stop the discussion, Chen Ming's tone became serious and said: "Comrades, I said that the Red Army will be defeated tonight, and I am not just talking about it."

"Of course, we must also cooperate fully."

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

Hua Hua Hua.

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

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

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

"A total of 2,600 soldiers were gathered together and headed to Niubei Mountain through the underground passage to join the 1,000 men from the Third Regiment."

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

"What we need to do is, first, each unit has just withdrawn and rested for three hours. Then all units will be dispatched. Remember, mobilize all the firepower that can be mobilized for me."

"I don't care what method you use, you must make up for the gap of more than two thousand people. At least on the surface, our attack is still a full-scale attack."

"Second, the attack must be based on strong pressure, gathering all the dispersed combat units of the Red Army and gathering them near Niubei Mountain."

"Third, the Red Army is likely to send people into Niubei Mountain tonight to hold back our soldiers left there."

"If they take action, that's even better. No matter how many people come, catch them all, take off their Red Army combat uniforms, and put them on our people."

"Then let our people chase the escaping "Red Army", and let our pretended comrades enter the Red Army position first and disrupt their camp at close range."

"If the Red Army doesn't send people, even if you change it for me, you have to give me a reason to change it. In short, I need some people to enter the Red Army station first."

"After causing chaos, nearly 4,000 people from Niubei Mountain mobilized in a unified manner, without using any harsh words, to fight the Red Army in close combat."

"I repeat again, the tactics of delaying the enemy are over, success or failure will be tonight."

"Don't the Red Army have great firepower? Then we still have more people. In close combat, there are more people. One against one, there can be one more person applauding next to us."

"Do you understand everything?"

"clear!!!"

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

This newly appointed chief of staff is really terrifying. He is leading the Red Army into the abyss step by step?

Anyone who can serve as a commander is naturally unique and not mediocre.

After what Chen Ming said just now, they understood that this fierce battle with the Red Army was intended to use close combat. As long as the soldiers of the Blue Army rushed into the Red Army's camp, the Red Army's great weapons would be used as a weapon.

As for why the Blues mobilized in full force after three hours of rest, that's very simple.

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

The army pressed down on the border just to get them to gather together.

If there is a station in the east and a station in the west, the tactics of close 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 prepared.

What tactics are used to delay the enemy are all aimed at catching the Red Army off guard, so they have to take some necessary precautions.

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

I still remember that before Chief of Staff Chen took over the command, the Red Army didn't even look at the gaps on both sides.

Directly behind Niubei Mountain, a two-kilometer artillery array was deployed. The threat could be felt dozens of kilometers away.

People just don't like the Blue Army's firepower. They just bully you and pull you into position, not afraid of you attacking from both ends.

As a result, Chen Ming took over the command, and in just two days, he suddenly made the Red Army cautious.

They even started to think of ways to launch night attacks? Heavy equipment brigade, when have you ever been so cowardly?

It has always been a frontal battlefield, crushing all the way, this time

All the officers in the conference room now feel the mood of Air Defense Battalion Commander Xie Canxiong.

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

There is no way this thing can fight with him, and he will lead him by the nose accidentally. The Red Army had a good advantage, and it still has the advantage even now.

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

Helplessness, shock, and various complex emotions filled the entire conference room.

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

"Comrades, do you have any other questions?" Chen Ming glanced at all the officers in the conference room and asked.

"Nothing."

Everyone spoke in unison, full of confidence.

Chen Ming looked at the brigade commander Xu Wenqian again. Old Xu also shook his head. What else could he say?

"Well, since there is no problem, each unit will go back and prepare."

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

"Dismissed!!"
