Chapter 845 Test our determination(1/2)
Red Party Command.
In the temporary tent, Fan Yingming was talking about something with Deputy Brigade Commander Jiao Shouzhi.
As the two core commanders of the Red side of this exercise, after the war begins, these two naturally have to discuss the situation of the battle.
Jiao Shouzhi just came back from the front line.
Because this exercise was in hills and desert areas, the wind and sand were a bit heavy.
The deputy brigade commander looked a little embarrassed.
Speaking of which, Jiao Shouzhi is Fan Yingming's old subordinate.
When he was in the A Division of the R Group Army, he was Fan Yingming's chief of staff in the first regiment.
There is no need to say more about the two of them being familiar with each other.
When Jiao Shouzhi slapped the dust on his body, Fan Yingming asked questions directly.
"Shouzhi, I heard Tang Long just say that when you led your troops to set up camp, you were blocked by the Blue Army's vanguard? Is this a matter?"
Jiao Shouzhi nodded, spitted on the ground, his face seemed a little disappointed.
Seeing his expression, Fan Yingming became even more curious.
"Hi, brigade commander, let alone."
Jiao Shouzhi hummed and said, "When I was bringing the 1st Battalion of Jibu, a small group of troops on the Blue side came to harass him. When we turn around and chase after him, these guys ran away again, and I don't know what the hell is going to do."
After hearing this, Fan Yingming couldn't help but speak, "What's going on? The artillery battalion should be not far behind the Jibu Battalion, right? This can't lock the opponent in an attack?"
Indeed, after entering the era of information combat, the combat effectiveness of firepower battalions such as artillery battalions and anti-aircraft artillery battalions has the fastest growth rate.
With the help of radar and the power of communication systems, they can lock targets from far away and conduct fixed-point attacks.
Fan Yingming questioned Jiao Shouzhi at this time, and naturally felt that he should let the artillery battalion take action.
Of course Jiao Shouzhi knew what the brigade commander meant. He sighed and explained helplessly: "Brig Commander, the ones who came to harass the Blue Party are all fast teams. It seems that they should be small groups of troops from the Armored Reconnaissance Battalion of the W Brigade."
"As soon as they came, they kept a good distance from our vanguard troops; another thing, I was worried that they would be ambushed in the future, so they came over to test it on purpose."
"So, I didn't dare to expose the locations of the two fire battalions in advance, for fear of falling into the plan of that boy Su Qiyue."
There is no doubt that Jiao Shouzhi's battlefield judgment is absolutely fine.
After hearing his explanation, Fan Yingming knew that he had blamed him wrongly.
However, Fan Yingming was a little dissatisfied with the title he did not respect Su Qiyue very much.
Seeing Jiao Shouzhi's indignation, he couldn't help but remind him: "Shouzhi, although we are now opposites to the W Brigade, we still need to have the necessary respect."
Listening to the old leader’s reminder, Jiao Shouzhi’s face stopped and he immediately responded.
When the two brigade leaders said these words, Tang Long next to him would naturally speak out without any wits.
Deputy Brigade Commander Jiao had certain prejudice against Brigade Commander Su of Brigade W, and Tang Long knew the most.
The reason is very simple. He and Su Qiuyue themselves are both W Brigades W, and T Brigades T are the deputy brigade commanders and chief of staff, who are most likely to take over the position of brigade commander.
On the T Brigade, the brigade commander Fan Yingming had already officially appointed a senior commander a few days ago.
It is estimated that it will not take long to transfer to other more important positions.
Even if this person doesn't move, Jiao Shouzhi's position on T-Both is still very stable.
On the W Bus, the situation is somewhat similar to that on the T Bus.
Their previous brigade commander Shi Qingsong was also a high-end regular division.
No one can shake Su Qiuyue's status as deputy brigade commander and chief of staff.
After winning a complete victory in the last confrontation with W Brigade, Jiao Shouzhi did not expect that Brigade Commander Shi would be transferred directly by the superiors.
But after Shi Qingsong was really sure that he would be transferred, who would take him to his position was a little touched by Jiao Shouzhi's heart.
After all, after the division was changed to the brigade, the W Brigade, like the T Brigade, were heavyweight digital demonstration units in the C Military Region.
The positions of military and political chief officers of these two brigades are slightly higher than those of other restructured brigades.
And I have been in the position of deputy brigade for some years, and my achievements have been outstanding.
In addition to the previous exercise, T-Both defeated W-Both and transferred to W-Both to take over Shi Qingsong's position. This is absolutely reasonable.
However, Jiao Shouzhi's expectations lasted only two or three days, and he completely lost hope.
Just after Shi Qingsong was transferred, the above quickly determined the candidate for the acting brigade commander of the W brigade.
Su Qiuyue, the deputy brigade commander and chief of staff who did not participate in the last exercise, successfully took over the position of brigade commander.
Such an arrangement will naturally be a big blow to Jiao Shouzhi.
He couldn't understand why the above was so optimistic about Su Qiuyue.
Could it be that the last exercise was because of his absence alone that the W Brigade failed?
With such doubts, Jiao Shouzhi naturally had prejudice against Su Qiuyue.
After the second battle with W Brigade was confirmed this time, Jiao Shouzhi kept holding on to his strength and wanted to prove himself.
The following synthetic battalions, tank battalion training, and the deputy brigade commander and chief of staff were all personally arrested.
Tang Long, the combat chief, clearly saw these situations.
From a personal point of view, he can understand Jiao Shouzhi's indignation.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the W Brigade has been tested in the last exercise.
Su Qiuyue has been to W Brigade for more than a year, and she has not seen how much the combat effectiveness of W Brigade has improved under his rule.
But Tang Long knew Su Qiyue's abilities very well, and he knew very well what the other party could do.
If the last exercise was commanded by the acting brigade commander, the result would be hard to say.
Of course, Tang Long is not easy to say his own judgment, so he can only pretend that he doesn't know.
After the first contact with this exercise today, he had already felt the changes in the W Brigade compared to the last exercise.
The opponent no longer pursues a big opening and closing, and opens up the formation to face one's own side, but instead uses quick response to the harassment of the troops to delay one's own side's attack.
This is not what the party guarding should do.
Thinking that Su Qiyue had always been known for her changeable tactics and strangeness in previous exercises, Tang Long was a little worried.
For this reason, he also specifically reminded his wife Qiu Jieru to ask her information squadron to pay attention to the movements of the Armored Reconnaissance Battalion and the Wolf Warrior Squadron.
The reason is very simple: the first-level troops of the W Brigade are both known for their rapid response.
From Jiao Shouzhi, he learned some of the movements of the Blue Party's harassing troops, and Fan Yingming nodded with relief.
He stroked his chin and said confidently: "Shouzhi, Su Qiyue's harassment of our forward battalion today should not be to test our falsehood, but to test how strong our determination to attack."
Listening to the conclusion given by the brigade commander, Jiao Shouzhi was a little confused.
He opened his mouth and asked in confusion: "Brig Commander, I can understand what your judgment means. However, with this little contact alone, Su Qiyue can tell how much determination we have to attack? Is this too exaggerated?"
"No, this is not an exaggeration!"
Fan Yingming said affirmatively, "Like us, the two battalions below them have been upgraded to synthetic battalions. In other words, they have at least two battalions, and they have the ability to open up a battlefield separately."
Listening to the brigade commander's talk, Jiao Shouzhi nodded without understanding.
Fan Yingming's speech continues.
After pausing, he continued: "By tempting our vanguard troops on the first day, Su Qiuyue and Lanfang were able to roughly analyze the composition of our forward battalion."
"Are you more infantry fighting vehicles or more tank troops? These subtle differences must be hidden from someone as smart as Su Qiuyue."
"Through these, he can judge how much our strong attack on the front battlefield may be... However, they can respond based on our tactical intentions."
Hearing this, Jiao Shouzhi finally realized it.
The meaning of the brigade commander's words is summed up in four words: counterattack when you see the move.
Of course, the premise of countering each other is that one party must be able to make an accurate judgment on the tactical focus of the other party through the only battlefield information.
Although he has some knots about Su Qiyue, Jiao Shouzhi will not doubt whether the other party has this ability.
After a while of silence, Jiao Shouzhi couldn't help but speak, "Brig Commander, since Su Qiyue had made this idea, has our reaction today exposed some information? This will not affect the subsequent battles, right?"
"Won't!"
Fan Yingming waved his hand firmly, "If you want to win a war, you should pay attention to the combination of strange and righteousness. If you keep using strange tricks to fight the enemy, you will easily lose yourself."
"The battlefield of this exercise is itself a battleground in an open area, and there is no room for tactical detours."
"As long as we take steps and set up our formation, Su Qiyue can only deal with it head-on. Otherwise, before his magic tricks were used, he would be unable to defend the front battlefield."
Listening to the brigade commander's confident judgment, Jiao Shouzhi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, before the exercise, we asked Tang Long to calculate the comparison of the firepower between the two sides."
"The number of artillery battalions in our T Brigade is much higher than that of the W Brigade. In terms of the number of tanks, we also have an absolute advantage. Even the main attacker, we hold this exercise in hand."
"You can't be too careless!" Fan Yingming couldn't help but remind, "The hills and desert areas are also very conducive to the advancement of armored reconnaissance forces. When you start attacking enemy positions tomorrow, you must pay attention to the safety of both wings."
Jiao Shouzhi muttered, patted his chest and said, "Brigit Commander, don't worry, I have two mechanics and insurgent companies on the two wings of the vanguard troops. Even if the opponent's entire armored reconnaissance battalion comes over, we can still hold on for a while."
