Chapter 377: Exploring the terrain, you are a madman
A few people set out at six in the morning.
Chen Jun and the others did not dare to waste time when they arrived at the boundary of Fuzhou.
It’s almost nine o’clock in the evening.
The Army Agency of the Eastern Theater Command is in Fuzhou. According to referee Li Peifang, the directorate of this exercise is located in the Army Agency Building.
After the two military vehicles came off the Beijing-Taiwan Expressway, Li Peifang took another lieutenant with him, saying that he was going back to the director's department to report on work.
Leave a lieutenant behind and accompany Chen Jun to the position first.
The three of them discussed meeting at noon tomorrow.
To such an arrangement.
Chen Jun wouldn't care at all. The large-scale exercise would take about three days just for transportation on the road.
Li Peifang does whatever he likes, and it saves him a lot of worry if he is not there to supervise.
So, after getting off the highway, the two military vehicles parted ways.
Chen Jun, He Yingtao, Li Wujie and another lieutenant officer from the director's department are shown on the map.
Go straight to the predetermined position.
On the way, Lao He wanted to ask about the loss of contact with the Red Army many times, but Chen Jun shook his head and stopped him.
First, Chen Jun couldn't make a judgment on what the news from the director's department was about.
Secondly, whether the person is lost or not is not a matter of leading a sentence?
Such a large-scale military exercise requires an investment of at least tens of billions, and the bosses will not be such a joke.
Third, from the moment they set out, the real battle has actually entered the confrontation stage.
Chen Jun was not even sure whether the so-called information he heard in the car was false information deliberately set up by the director to mislead them.
How about just letting the people of the First Army get lost?
To participate in the battle this time, elite troops from the 1st, 12th, and 31st armies under the Eastern Theater Command were mobilized, both from the red side and the blue side.
How dare you say that the people in the First Army don’t know the way?
With so little information, the missing people are all members of the First Army?
Although Chen Jun had doubts in his heart, he suspected that it might be a psychological warfare by the director, but he was not sure.
In fact, in 2017, the commanders of many units were quite simple in their thinking. If the superiors really used information warfare to mislead the commanders, it would probably have a huge impact.
But the impact will not last long.
After all, after all the Red Army combat groups are in place, the Red Army Commander-in-Chief will definitely convene all participating troops for a video conference and issue unified combat instructions.
What the hell, there are only ten or twenty thousand people missing. What a slap in the face.
I am afraid that the defense line cannot be formed in an orderly manner, and the Blue Army will drive straight into the heart of the Red Army.
Take advantage of it while heading to the preset position.
Chen Jun calmed down and stopped thinking about what was available and what was not. He took out a tactical light from his backpack and put it on his head. He picked up the Fuzhou military map and began to study it in detail.
Compare the road they are traveling on and verify the coordinate points on the map one by one to determine the authenticity of this map.
Don’t think that the map given by the director will be fine.
As a qualified commander.
Chen Jun knew very well that the first thing he had to learn was to rely on his own judgment and not to rely too much on things provided by the outside world, especially those related to combat factors.
To know.
The purpose of the exercise is to improve the commander's combat response and command capabilities, as well as to enhance the combat capabilities of the troops.
This time, on behalf of the 179th Brigade, Chen Jun came to participate in the war. There was no direct headquarters above Chen Jun to handle the matter for him.
All that is left is the red side’s general command room, which handles the dispatching and combat tasks of their unit.
All factors must be judged by oneself.
Compare the map and supply points one by one, plus Chen Jun’s memories of his previous life.
He knows that the terrain in Fuzhou is not as flat as Pengcheng. The terrain here is mainly characterized by mountains and hills.
These terrains account for more than 70% of the entire area. They are high in the west and low in the east, descending in layers, and the landform environment is extremely complex.
Diverse types, the wild and uninhabited combat area contains a large number of eroded mid-low mountains, hills and accumulation plains, etc.
This kind of terrain is not suitable for combat organized by armored divisions or mechanized infantry divisions.
Firstly, the requirements for the performance of the tank are too high, and secondly, the terrain is rugged. Originally, the heavy tank gun could shoot at a range of three to five kilometers, but the terrain was too high and low.
It is very likely that the artillery shells will hit the ground directly after hitting the ground eight hundred meters, losing their original combat firepower.
“The terrain here seems to be only suitable for close combat.”
Chen Jun muttered in a low voice while staring at the map.
"What's wrong, Old Chen? What's the problem?"
Fat He sitting next to him heard the sound, and he quickly turned to look at Chen Jun: "Did you find anything in the research?"
"Put away the map before you finish the research. We are going to arrive soon."
"Are we there?"
When Chen Jun heard this, he looked startled and subconsciously looked down at his watch. on time.
By this time, it was already close to twelve o'clock in the evening.
The vehicle was speeding in the open field, and the whole person was bouncing around in the car. Fortunately, all the soldiers had experienced anti-sickness training.
Otherwise, in a place like this, let alone sitting in the car and looking at a map, being able to hold back from vomiting is considered a strong type.
Chen Jun had been checking the supply points just now, and he didn't notice that nearly three hours had passed since he got off the highway.
The place where they were at this time was exactly the area of residence designated by the director's department for the first battalion.
"Stop!!"
While waiting for the vehicle to pass through a relatively flat area, Chen Jun raised his hand and patted the back of the front seat.
The lieutenant who was driving received the order and stepped on the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a steady stop.
"Look at what you have to eat. Go to bed when you need to sleep."
"The logistics convoy is not expected to arrive here until dawn. Tonight Everyone, please work hard.”
Chen Jun gave a brief explanation, and with a tactical light on his head, he opened the door and got out of the car.
There is no need to talk about enjoying things during the exercise. Those who have no logistics and no cooking can only eat some compressed biscuits or self-heating pots.
As for sleeping, you can only find a sheltered place and lie down in a sleeping bag to rest.
But Chen Jun can't even take care of this now.
He set out early and hurriedly and slowly without rest all the way, just to understand the terrain of the combat area.
Find the location of your camp, plan the construction of fortifications in advance, and understand the surrounding terrain.
If you don’t understand this, why would Chen Jun want to sleep?
He got out of the car, opened the trunk and took out the night vision telescope, grabbed a few more packs of compressed biscuits and stuffed them into his pockets, and left with a bottle of mineral water under his arm.
Serviceman Li Wujie wanted to follow, but Chen Jun waved his hand to stop him and forcibly ordered him to rest.
Chen Jun didn’t let Lao He follow either.
But Fatty He himself felt that he was also the instructor of the camp after all, and it was not good for him to lie in a bag and sleep when the battalion commander went to survey the terrain.
I simply put on my equipment and a bag of food, and left with Chen Jun.
The cold wind was blowing, and the two figures, one foot deep and one foot shallow, were measuring the next battlefield with their footsteps. He Yingtao was also a low-level company commander before, so he naturally knew some relevant experience of commanders.
But the two of them walked all the way.
He watched Chen Jun take out a map from time to time to write and draw, and also used a night vision telescope to observe the surrounding terrain.
I often observe for several minutes, standing there without any movement. After observing, I am still drawing pictures repeatedly.
Lao He finally couldn't help but said: "Old Chen, sometimes I wonder if you really just graduated from the military academy?"
"You don't look like this, a recent graduate. The officer doesn’t understand so much.”
“Besides, we don’t need to observe the nearby terrain so carefully. When the troops from behind arrive, the drones will spread over the terrain with a radius of ten kilometers. Pine can paint the whole picture.”
"Why are you working so hard?"
"Nothing, just for peace of mind."
Chen Jun grinned and said: "Old He, what do you think as a commander? , what should be done best?”
“Me?”
He Yingtao didn’t expect that the problem would eventually involve him. He took a bite of the compressed biscuit, looked up and thought. : "How to be a good commander? There are too many official words and it is difficult to summarize."
"But if I were you, I would first settle down to eat, drink, and sleep, and then make some arrangements to prevent others from sneak attacks. At the same time, I would be prepared to sneak attacks on others."
"They say soldiers can't Although we are timid, we must be prepared to lose in a war. We must assume that our enemies are more powerful than us. We must first find a way to combine various factors to make ourselves invincible. ”
“ Finally figured out a way out."
"Yes, that's fair."
Chen Jun nodded, folded the map in his hand and placed it on the ground.
I also opened a bag of compressed biscuits and squatted there eating them.
Then he said leisurely: "How to be a good commander? In fact, I don't have a very clear goal myself."
"But one thing is that military commanders must be diligent, and those who are not diligent If you can't do things well, you can't be a military commander well."
"You must see and do things yourself."
"For example, now."< br>
Chen Jun raised his finger and pointed to the surrounding hillsides, Qiu Ling said: "The terrain of this battle is complex. We must climb the hills that we should go up to see, and we must understand the situations that we should understand in time."
"Issues that should be checked We must strictly inspect and never be lazy. Military commanders must not be lazy, because laziness will bring failure and danger."
"If I come over tonight, I will choose to rest on the spot and eat and drink enough. Let’s not talk about whether we can sleep or not. Let’s just say that the director’s department has assigned us an area.”
“How big is this area? Where is it exactly? What’s around it, and how many are nearby. On the top of the mountain, there are several major roads and small roads. What is the environment like? "
"Are there people here? What are the conditions of the people? What is the local accent? Where should the fortifications be built? In case of emergency. How to deal with the emergency response plan ”
"Where is the appropriate place to put the sentry post? If I don't come out to see it, I won't ask anything. It all depends on what the reconnaissance company provides."
"Then I will only be unfamiliar with all the environments here and will not know how to pass a few maps. You can know the surrounding terrain very well.”
“At this time, once the enemy makes a sudden attack, no matter how good my command is, I will be helpless without these key information reserves in my mind.”< br>
“Commanders, no matter how big or small, must be diligent, walk without hesitation, and not be afraid of fatigue. They must be aware of their heart, eyes, mouth, feet, and hands. They must not be idle until things are done well. ”
“Being greedy will hide the root of making mistakes. You must have confidence in everything. As the saying goes, everything will be done if you are not prepared. ”
"No matter how capable a cadre is, he or she will not be a good cadre."
Chen Jun spoke in a leisurely manner, speaking in plain language.
But Lao He was shocked as he sat aside and listened. Usually in the camp, he just noticed that the battalion commander had more ideas about writing synthetic training.
I really don’t know, but Chen Jun’s experience in conducting is quite amazing.
After eating a bag of compressed biscuits, the two continued to survey the surrounding terrain.
Originally, Lao He was thinking that Chen Jun didn't get much sleep last night. He had plenty of time today and wanted to have a good sleep no matter what.
But he was wrong.
Chen Jun was stunned to survey the terrain all night long at twelve o'clock at night. When dawn came, the soldiers of the logistics support company led by Liang Kexiang had arrived.
He never came back.
As for the reason, there is nothing to say.
Chen Jun always remembers the words his company commander contradicted the battalion commander when he participated in the exercise.
Exercises are like fighting, and being eliminated on the battlefield means death.
The soldiers charged into battle, risking their lives to fight the enemy.
Is it possible that as a commander, you can still be frightened by a little survey work?
In Chen Jun's view, in order to be confident in a battle, the commander must be familiar with the map.
Read maps often, because reading maps can generate insights, wisdom, ideas, and confidence.
This is the basis for a commander to be calm and unhurried.
If you have to ask how to read a map, the method is very simple. Just hang up the map and find a stool to look at the map.
From the general direction to the active area, from the overall picture of the area to the topographical characteristics of each area, from rough reading to detailed reading, block by block.
Use red and blue pencils to mark out the main mountains, rivers, towns, mountain villages, and roads. Read and draw at the same time.
By the time the map is almost broken, you will have almost memorized the map.
The benefits of this are obvious. Based on familiarity with the map, once the two sides engage in battle, the terrain of the battlefield and the deployment of troops on both sides will naturally appear in the mind.
You can do it easily. Close your eyes and a vivid battlefield projection will appear in front of you. You can fight even if you leave the map.
Only in this way can we predict and seize the opportunity faster than the enemy in a life-and-death, ever-changing combat situation.
As long as you take the enemy's first move and take the initiative, you can achieve a level of certainty of victory.
Anyway, Chen Jun's combat theory is very simple, and he can't even understand the topography, topography, and maps.
There is no need to fight that battle.
No matter how clear the reconnaissance company's report is, if the commander is not familiar with the terrain, it will be impossible to make the most correct combat plan in time.
Chen Jun suffered a lot in the past because of the commander's half-heartedness.
When it is his turn to take over the command, he will naturally pay more attention to this exercise.
In six or seven hours a night, Chen Jun covered nearly 20 kilometers of terrain.
When Liang Kexiang led the team over, he took over the detailed map from Chen Jun.
As a staff officer, Lao Liang only glanced down and had to admit that the battalion commander's drawing skills were indeed not low.
I even stayed up all night for reconnaissance and surveying.
Liang Kexiang learned the cause and effect, even a professional staff officer like him.
They all have to sigh, people like Chen Jun are more than just geniuses.
He is even more of a lunatic.
The kind that can be so crazy that it scares the enemy.
Once the deeds of a commander like this spread out, I am afraid many people will be shocked.
He is too serious and too persistent.
This kind of enemy is the most difficult to deal with.
