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

Chapter 406 Review, Peng Tianzheng is speechless

After understanding the reason why the Red Army was defeated so quickly, Changjiang Zhenjun, chief of staff of the theater army, was speechless for a long time.

No matter what Chen Ming did, the result was always a win.

This is a fact that no one can deny.

While several people were chatting in full swing, the time came to eight o'clock in the morning, and the prescribed review meeting was about to begin.

The officers who came to attend the meeting from the division headquarters began to go upstairs one after another. Even if they didn't look at their clothes, they could tell who was the Red Army and who was the Blue Army by their expressions.

The two waves of people who went upstairs had glowing faces, talking and laughing, as if they were going to a market, and they looked like they had won a battle.

There is also a wave of drooping eyebrows and lack of interest, as if he is born not to laugh and has a lot of things on his mind.

Chen Ming was naturally among them. He followed the two old comrades chatting upstairs. Passing by the chiefs who had just been chatting, all the officers said hello.

"Chen Ming, come on, come on over. Other comrades, go to the guidance hall and wait."

Wang Junwei's sharp eyes immediately spotted Chen Ming following the crowd and raised his hand to greet him.

A few of them have been chatting here for a long time. The conference is about to start and no one has entered yet. This is obvious.

Everyone wanted to see the guy who commanded the Blue Army this time be able to defeat the Red Army so quickly. That was not something he could do just by luck.

Following Lao Wang's greeting, the eyes of Xu Wenqian, Xu Guoyang, Peng Tianzheng, Zhao Shengkui, Jiang Zhenjun and others next to him all looked over.

The officer who was greeting him quickly got out of the way and hurried towards the guidance hall.

Good guy, the lowest officer who can participate in the review meeting is the battalion commander. Who doesn't know these leaders?

With so many people looking for Chen Ming, many battalion commanders of the Red Army were confused. They didn't even know who their opponent was until now.

The battalion commander of the Blue Army held his head high and his posture was not low, and he passed by the Red Army proudly.

A greeting made Chen Ming the center of attention.

Although Du Longfei was the group leader, these people were all cadres from the brigade. He said hello and left, not intending to join in the fun as it was inappropriate.

Chen Ming and Zhang Jintao were left alone.

Chen Ming is quite generous. The battle between red and blue ended last night. No matter how angry you are today, it should be gone, right?

Chen Ming strode forward, stood at attention in front of several people, and saluted.

"Hello, Chief."

"Peng Brigade, Chief of Staff Zhao, you are here."

Chen Ming resisted the urge to laugh. He had a hard time holding it in. It wasn't because he had a low point of laughter.

While he was saluting Jiang Zhenjun, Peng Tianzheng and Zhao Shengkui both had dark faces, and their faces were droopier than donkey faces.

The resentment felt like it was rushing towards my face even though I was two meters away.

"Haha, you are really a formidable young man." Jiang Zhenjun pretended not to see the expressions of Lao Peng and the others. When he returned the greeting, he looked Chen Ming up and down.

"I noticed you a few years ago, but I didn't expect you to bring me such a big surprise."

"Yes, Mr. Chai has been courageous and resolute throughout his life. He is the pillar of the country and the backbone of the nation."

"You're not bad either. You have the air of an iron-blooded soldier. You still have a sharp eye."

"Thank you for the compliment, Chief!!"

Chen Ming responded neither humble nor overbearing.

He didn't know that there was some genuine praise in Chief of Staff Jiang's words, but no matter how he said it, when someone praised someone, there had to be some kind of response.

"Well, you're welcome. It's right to show your ability. I've never seen Lao Peng suffer such a big loss."

"Ha ha!!"

Jiang Zhenjun didn't care about the shameful Peng Tianzheng, and the old comrades talked in private, and there was nothing to say.

Although Chen Ming is a junior now, his position is no longer that of the brigade chief of staff. As the brigade chief of staff, he will participate in the annual conference and summary conference of the theater in the future.

Normally, the brigade chief of staff is only one level lower than the brigade commander. The brigade commander is at the deputy division level, and the brigade chief of staff is at the regimental level, a colonel.

Now Chen Ming belongs to a low-ranking and high-ranking position.

"You kid, are you finally willing to come here?" Peng Tianzheng ignored Jiang Zhenjun's words and looked at Chen Ming with an unkind expression.

He looked relieved on the surface, but could he really be relieved? The most important thing for soldiers is winning or losing, especially when it comes to themselves. I have never suffered such a big loss in most of my life.

At the end of the day, he suffered a big loss.

I haven't seen Guo Canhui from the Baiyun Mountain Group. It has been a few years, but I still gnash my teeth when I mention it. This is really not a glorious thing for a soldier.

However, after Peng Tianzheng finished speaking, he saw that Chen Ming was about to speak and raised his hand to stop him.

"That's all. If you lose, you lose. I'm not to the point where I can't afford to lose."

"It doesn't matter if you lose the battle once, otherwise you will always regard yourself as the main force in the army. The soldiers and commanders will inevitably be arrogant, and it will be difficult for the arrogant soldiers to realize their own shortcomings."

"It's also a good opportunity to take this opportunity to hammer it out."

When Peng Tianzheng was speaking, no one around him spoke.

Mainly because there is nothing to say. Which commander of a unit that loses to the Blue Army would not say this?

You have to give people a step down.

However, the purpose of using such a large amount of losses to form the Blue Army is indeed to train troops and hone their ability to fight.

As long as there is a war, there will always be a winner or loser, there is no way around it.

"Okay, let's hold a review meeting first."

Jiang Zhenjun saw the red and blue commanders talking away, turned to look at Wang Junwei, and said: "Old Wang, you can preside over the review meeting, and I will just watch from the side."

"Don't dwell too much on the issue of winning or losing in combat. We should focus on the issue as the core."

"Strictly speaking, this is the first time you have hosted a review meeting. You must establish a problem review perspective."

"Let the comrades who participate in the exercise have a vision and thinking that goes far beyond winning or losing in an exercise, and they are all comrades who struggle with meaningless things."

"To change the comrades below, when it comes to the red-blue confrontation, the first thing that comes to mind is to see who wins and loses."

"The Blue Army always thinks about killing the Red Army, and the Red Army always thinks about how to kill the Blue Army. This idea is wrong, and this traditional concept should also be abandoned."

"We should remember several core points in the review meeting. Issues should be raised throughout the whole process, shortcomings should be discussed, gaps should be found, results should not be discussed, wins and losses should not be the focus, and rankings should not be done."

"Problem orientation should focus on review, establish and convey the guiding ideology of emphasizing inspection rather than evaluation, emphasizing actual results rather than form, and emphasizing review rather than winning or losing."

"Like those, red will win and blue will lose. This traditional thinking must be broken."

"Before I came here, the theater and the military have made it clear that for both sides of our Niutoushan operations, the outcome of the exercise will not be linked to the commander's performance."

"So Lao Peng, as an old comrade, you must set an example and get rid of the ideological baggage of wanting to win, fearing losing, and worrying about making a fool of yourself."

"Since there is such a good opportunity to train troops, you should devote your mind and heart to learning and practicing fighting."

"I know that on the training ground, if there is confrontation, there will be winners and losers. Our soldiers have always advocated honor, so naturally we cannot help but pay attention to victory or defeat."

"However, everyone should know that the exercise ground is not a battlefield after all, and winning or losing is not the ultimate goal of the exercise."

"Discovering problems through exercises, making up for shortcomings, and then improving the combat effectiveness of the troops are the fundamental purpose of military training."

"Our army has had a strange phenomenon on the training grounds for a long time, that is, it only looks at the results but not the process, and it only focuses on winning and losing without paying attention to gains and losses."

"Only seeking influence without regard to combat effectiveness, some units even resort to fraud for the sake of so-called victory or defeat, blocking the proper layout on the exercise field, which is very harmful to the building of the military's combat effectiveness."

"Wang Junwei."

"arrive."

"Chen Ming."

"arrive."

"You, the Strategic Assault Division, will have to accept many challenges in the future. All you can do is do your best to cause the greatest trouble to the Red Army troops who come here."

"Strictly proceed from the difficult and practical, and put an end to the idea that you are good, I am good, everyone is good."

"Understand?"

"clear!!!!"

"Okay, let's start the review meeting."

Jiang Zhenjun stood at the door of the guidance hall and narrated these words, not only to Wang Junwei, but also to everyone standing there.

This included officers entering the guidance hall.

It is not possible to change one's thoughts solely through the command from above.

It is the grassroots officers who can truly influence the soldiers and the core of the army.

Only if their thinking can be changed, the army will see major changes.

In fact, Chen Ming knows that the army has been rectified very well.

The old idea that red will win and blue will lose was really not just talk in the past.

Many people say that the Blue Army cheated during the Zhuri exercise, but who knows how miserable the Blue Army would have been before Zhuri started?

At that time, the red and blue troops were practicing combat, and the blue army was the defender. The terrain was not allowed to move, and any layout was not allowed. The weapons could only be automatic rifles and grenades at most.

What about the Red Army? As the default victory side, the equipment is tanks, machine guns, fighter jets, whatever you want.

The exercise really turned out to be hello, me, hello, everyone.

Many times, troops rated as the Blue Army would privately prepare the flag of the Red Army, and after the war started, they would fire two shots at will to resist. Before the Red Army could attack, the Blue Army's commander arranged for his own people to plant the Red Army's flag on the high ground where they were stationed.

What's more, the top commander of the Blue Army didn't come at all during the exercise, because of the red mentality that must win.

Over the past few years, many actions have been taken to rectify this thinking.

Continuing to follow up, there are people from the military headquarters sitting in review meetings in various places, watching them guide and watch them start the meeting.

Later, the effect was very little, and the practice of removing the implication of the failure of red and blue operations on the commander's performance began to have some effect.

However, saying it is not involved is the slogan of the military department, and it has not been fully popularized until now.

The higher-ups are also aware of this situation, so they have been making corrections and supervising.

This time, of course, is no exception.

After the review meeting was over, Chen Ming and the others began to enter the command hall, which was the working hall of the director's department during the battle.

Chen Ming is now different from what he used to be. Naturally, his seat will no longer be arranged in the corner, but in the front row.

Belonging to the same row as Xu Wenqian, Peng Tianzheng, Zhao Shengkui, and Zhang Jintao.

As the commander of the 704th Division, Wang Junwei is in charge of the entire directing department and is naturally the main spokesperson today.

Standing in front of the guidance hall, Wang Junwei glanced at everyone and said loudly: "Hello, comrades, let me introduce myself first."

"We have comrades from the 169th Brigade and comrades from the 5th Brigade here today. Maybe some comrades don't know me."

"My name is Wang Junwei, and I am currently the commander-in-chief of the 704th Division's headquarters."

"Operation Spring Thunder is the code name for the first cross-regional base-based exercise of the Army's military services in this spring in this theater."

"In this battle, we represent the comrades of the Red Army."

During the review meeting, Wang Junwei, as the chief director, elaborated on the entire process of the exercise.

The long journey and the hard work of the entire brigade officers and soldiers over the past few days can all be explained in one sentence.

The entire audience was dominated by criticism. For example, the opening elements of the Red Army's command post were incomplete and were exposed prematurely when they rushed to respond to the Blue Army's all-out attack.

If not, the Blue Army's special operations battalion wouldn't be able to get to the door so easily.

There are also combat formation configurations that do not meet tactical requirements, target acquisition is difficult under electromagnetic interference conditions, and the management of investigators is too loose.

Criticize the Red Army for putting all their attention on opening up channels and forcibly suppressing the border.

These criticisms are understandable. The game only lasted a few days, and in the middle of the game, it was suddenly replaced by Chen Ming to command the Blue Army, just like a thick stick stirring up trouble.

It completely disrupted the layout of the Red Army, causing their rear operations to be full of loopholes.

Those who are obsessed with the authorities know clearly that Wang Junwei has not stood still in recent years. He has easily pointed out many problems of the Red Army.

The Blues can't escape either.

Whenever a review meeting is involved, it is impossible to find problems.

Although the Blue Army under the command of Chen Ming had nothing wrong with its tactical layout, in terms of details, the cooperation between the aviation force and other units was almost non-existent.

Especially during the final battle.

Before the artillery array behind the Blue Army had locked onto its target, the Army Aviation Battalion and the drone brigade had already arrived on top of the Red Army.

Even if there is an electronic warfare brigade to contain it in time, without fire suppression, the firepower deployed in the air is still quite large.

In this review meeting, Chen Ming also served as the spokesperson of the Blue Army and took the stage to express his views on this battle.

The same is true for Peng Tianzheng.

Regarding this battle, Chief of Staff Jiang has just said that we will not talk about winning or losing.

All we can talk about is self-examination and checking our own shortcomings.

Set an example for those officers below.

After all, the brigade commander and brigade chief of staff have begun to review. Can the battalion commanders sitting below still escape?

The final part of the review meeting was serious but also filled with ironic scenes.

there's no way.

In the end, their respective reviews are useless. The blue army must point out the shortcomings of the red army, and the red army points out the shortcomings of the blue army.

As the spokesman, Chen Ming went to the Red Army positions to conduct reconnaissance, and made a series of tactical arrangements for them.

It can be said that he knows better than Peng Tianzheng what loopholes the Red Army has.

For example, if the Red Army's position configuration is too platoon-oriented, if they target Niubei Mountain, they will directly spread out the artillery formation for several kilometers. The posture looks like they are competing with the mountains.

It seemed right according to the combat ideas at the time, but on a real battlefield, this arrangement was tantamount to causing trouble for oneself.

Because the nature of the target is too single.

There is also the Red Army's use of fixed target routes, which results in their drones having little effect.

Of course, Chen Ming also knew that they wanted to avoid the investigation in Niubei Mountain and the corridor, and because they were not familiar with the terrain, all cruising routes were fixed.

And the Red Army kept its radar on for a long time during combat in order to prevent aviation.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of combat thinking, but it is not practical.

Not to mention red and blue operations, on a large-scale battlefield, the radar works for a long time, and to the enemy, you are as obvious as a firefly in the dark.

Radar uses electromagnetic waves to spread. If you want to use this to find the specific location of the electronic brigade, it would be too easy.

During this battle, the Red Army's radio was out of service many times. It was either buzzing with no signal or playing local folk songs in Fuzhou.

Isn't it because their radar has been turned on for a long time? No matter where they go, they can't escape the detection of the electronic brigade.

It can be said that Chen Ming was able to command the drone brigade and the Army Aviation Battalion every time to accurately find the location of the blue army for interference and containment.

The greatest credit for this belongs to the way the Red Army fought.

This is not to say that people don’t understand these principles. They understand them very well, but they don’t care.

You must know that the heavy armored brigade is on the battlefield, and it can call for military-level fire support. Who will focus on them if nothing happens?

Looking for Todoroki?

The key is that in this battle, there is no unit behind them that they can call.

If we continue to fight in the same way as before, we can only say that the loser is not unfair.

Chen Ming, on behalf of the Blue Army, found fault with the Red Army and talked a lot about it.

He said that in the whole guidance hall, all the battalion commanders of the Red Army lowered their heads in shame.

Even they themselves did not expect that in the eyes of their opponent, the Blue Army, their side would be full of loopholes in one battle.

After Chen Ming finished talking about the shortcomings of the Red Army.

It was Peng Tianzheng's turn to talk about the shortcomings of the Blue Army, but he was completely dumbfounded, including the Red Army battalion commanders who were sitting below and looking forward to it. They were also completely dumbfounded.

Because from the beginning to the end, the Red Army hardly noticed the Blue Army's actions. Every time they discovered it, they gathered a large army to attack them.

Whether it's a feint attack or a decisive battle.

They put on the same posture every time, their electromagnetic interference is often interfered with, and the investigation is maintained by the most basic manpower.

If you can fail unexpectedly and unexpectedly, how can you talk about other people's shortcomings?

Peng Tianzheng got up and stood there, thinking carefully about it for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly and sat down.

At this point, the entire review meeting is over.

Wang Junwei looked at the performance of the officers in the audience, smiled and knocked on the table in front of him.

"Okay, comrades, let's stop discussing this. That's it for today's review meeting."

"Originally, I estimated that the review meeting would last at least two to three days, but due to the relatively high intensity of the combat this time, it ended too quickly."

"So the time of our meeting was shortened directly."

"Comrades, I hope today's meeting can bring you personal experience."

"And I hope that through this review, all of our comrades will be aware of the problems and shortcomings."

"After returning, we will urge the troops to carry out training that is closer to the requirements of actual combat and improve their training level."

"Winning or losing at one time is not terrible, and winning or losing on the training ground is not important either."

"The important thing is that all our comrades can learn lessons and experience from World War I, then our battle this time will be worthwhile."

"Okay, everyone, please disperse."

"This concludes today's review meeting."

After Wang Junwei announced his disbandment, he breathed a sigh of relief. This time the battle in Niutoushan might be just the beginning.

A new whetstone is about to be born.

Everything started with Chen Ming's command this time.
