The hotly discussed topic among soldiers of the 433rd Brigade during recent training breaks is the new young chief of staff.
Although soldiers are all old men, in fact, the training life in the army is tense and boring, and there is not much entertainment for everyone in their free time, so drinking and chatting is the best way to rest the body and relax the mind.
There has to be something to talk about when blowing water.
The hottest topic recently is the newly appointed Chief of Staff Li Zheng.
Everyone was nervous at first.
I think the first thing a new officer does when he takes office is that he always has to stay in various battalions and companies, or he suddenly drives to a certain company's training ground without notifying him in advance, and quietly watches the soldiers train to see how the cadres are doing.
It’s not that officers and soldiers are the same, but that they also have the same training and assessment.
Generally speaking, newly appointed brigade chiefs will do at least one of these things.
But it has been a week since the new chief of staff took office, and no one has seen him yet.
Therefore, the soldiers were privately discussing whether this outstanding young chief of staff had peed.
"I heard that he is the son-in-law of the head of our headquarters."
"Really?!"
"Really, I used to be the gun king of the special forces in the Tiger Brigade. I made a lot of contributions. I participated in the national and international sniper competition and won first place. I guess that was why I was chosen by the commander of the year..."
"You're talking nonsense! I heard that he and his wife have known each other since college."
"You know so well? Could it be that we were schoolmates with you back then?!"
"Aren't you kidding?! How old am I? How old is the chief of staff? How can we be classmates?!"
"The chief of staff is not that big, he is only thirty-two, thirty-two! He is the chief of staff! Look, we are only ten years younger than him, only one term..."
"It's so irritating to compare people to each other. You don't even think about how good they are. I heard that there are five first-class meritorious officials. Have you ever seen five cadres with first-class meritorious service?"
"I've never seen that before. But... he comes from the special forces and comes to our combined brigade? Is that okay? He knows how to operate a cannon and drive an armored vehicle, or drive a tank?"
"The chief of staff doesn't need to know this! What he wants is commanding ability!"
"What are you doing?! There's nothing to talk about here, right? I think you've had enough rest. Get up and continue training!"
Finally, the cadres on duty heard it and quickly blew the whistle for training.
Looking at the soldiers walking towards the training ground, the cadre on duty whispered to himself: "You really dare to talk about anything..."
Compared to the soldiers in grassroots combat units, the new chiefs of staff of the security companies at the brigade headquarters are no strangers.
But the guards and soldiers were still full of curiosity about Li Zheng.
Because Li Zheng came early every day these days. After arriving, he closed the door in his office without knowing what he was doing.
Sometimes I would come down to eat during meal time, but often I would forget to eat and sleep, and my meals would be delivered to the office.
Not to mention at night, I won't go back before ten o'clock.
A soldier who served him food said that there was a blackboard in the chief of staff's office, which was covered with messy map-like patterns. The desktop computer and laptop were both open on the desk, and the desk was full of information.
I don't know what I'm doing.
At noon that day, brigade commander Wan Xiangdong came back from the information detachment. When he came in, he picked up his tea cup and took a sip of tea.
Even so, I still feel like a fire has been lit in my heart, burning with anxiety.
In the past few days, Wan Xiangdong always felt that he was a little angry.
Looking back and analyzing his defeat at the Hongshan training ground, he believed that the problem lay in the White Eagle Brigade's superb intelligence interception capabilities.
He and the political commissar were closely watched as soon as they left the station.
The most frightening thing is that the wireless communication between himself and various units was actually intercepted.
This capability is currently not available to the information intelligence unit of the 433rd Brigade.
The current synthetic brigade is highly integrated. The brigade headquarters also has its own information and intelligence detachment, as well as a separate communication detachment, which provides the brigade headquarters with a combat command platform and data support. The problem is that in the past few days, Wan Xiangdong has assigned the information detachment and communication detachment to
Find out how the other party deciphered the communication channels and passwords during the Hongshan exercise and monitored your command orders.
However, a week passed, and the chief officers of the information and communications detachments were unable to produce any effective reports, and they had no clue as to what the White Eagle Brigade had done previously.
How could this not make him angry?!
If the "Hongshan-02" series of exercises continue next year, and it's my turn to play again, if I fall in the same pit for the second time, how can I still have the nerve to stay in the army? Just apply for transfer!
After walking anxiously around the office twice, the security guard came over and said it was lunch time and asked Wan Xiangdong if he wanted to go to the canteen to eat.
"go!"
Wan Xiangdong looked at the clock on the wall and replied gruffly.
As soon as I walked to the door, I suddenly remembered something.
He asked the guard: "When you passed by the chief of staff's office just now, did you see him going out to eat?"
The reason why I ask this is because I haven’t seen Li Zheng going to the canteen in two days.
This guy has really disappointed Wan Xiangdong since he came to the 433rd Brigade.
Originally, I planned to choose two companies with him to check out the training situation, and also go to the communications detachment and intelligence information detachment to have a small summary meeting to find out the loopholes in the 433 brigade's communications and electronic warfare.
Unexpectedly, Li Zheng said that he was not free, he had his own things to be busy with.
Wan Xiangdong did not force himself, thinking that the new chief of staff had his own work plan.
Unexpectedly, a week had passed. Li Zheng came early and came home late. He didn't even go to the canteen for meals a few times. He was sent to the office.
The guard shook his head: "I didn't see him going out. The door is closed. He is probably inside."
Wan Xiangdong stood at the door of his office, stretched his head in the direction of Li Zheng's chief of staff's office, took a look, and then said: "When I went to work in the past few days, he was still like this?"
The guard nodded: "Yes, the Chief of Staff rarely goes out. He comes early in the morning, runs around our brigade headquarters a few times, then returns to the office, closes the door, and sometimes goes out to eat, mostly in the office."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What is he doing..."
Wan Xiangdong frowned and thought for a moment, then said to the guard: "Okay, you go to eat first."
After the security guard left, he walked straight towards Li Zheng's office.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
"Come in!"
Wan Xiangdong knocked on Li Zheng's door.
Li Zheng's voice came from inside.
Wan Xiangdong pushed the door open and entered. It was unlocked and opened with a twist.
As soon as I entered the door, I was shocked.
I saw Li Zheng sitting in front of the computer, staring at the screen and talking.
Seeing Wan Xiangdong, he stood up, saluted, and then said: "Brigadier, I'm busy, are you okay?"
Wan Xiangdong asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
Li Zheng said: "I am analyzing the Hongshan series of exercises. The combat records of our three brigades are all here -"
He reached out and patted the thick stack of materials on the table.
Then he said: "You sit down first, I will talk to my comrades about some technical issues, and we will talk about it later."
Wan Xiangdong had no choice but to find a place to sit on the sofa. As soon as he sat down, he saw a blackboard standing on the wall, with various simple maps and arrows scrawled on it with markers. At a glance, he knew it was for the Hongshan exercise.
Some battlefield offensive and defensive situation maps.
He couldn't help but stood up curiously and walked to the blackboard and took a closer look.
At first glance, I found that it was the situation map of the confrontation between my brigade and the White Eagle Brigade on the 112th Line of Defense.
The battle situation between the two sides at that time was clear at a glance, and the pictures were particularly good.
It can be seen that Li Zheng's map work is very clever.
As the saying goes, experts know their own way.
From this, it can be seen that this young chief of staff is not just a false name but no real material.
Li Zheng was still connected to someone in front of the computer, and it could be heard from the conversation that he seemed to be discussing some technologies and details of communication interception.
After about ten minutes, the video conversation between Li Zheng and the other party finally ended, so he stood up and came to Wan Xiangdong's side. He glanced at his map and said, "I am reviewing the entire exercise process with the White Eagle Brigade that day."
"The loss was not due to offensive tactics." Wan Xiangdong murmured: "But the loss was due to electronic interception methods and technology..."
As soon as he mentioned this, he felt a dull pain in his abdomen and couldn't help but frown.
"Brigadier, you don't look good..." Li Zheng observed carefully and noticed something was wrong with Wan Xiangdong: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I guess there's something wrong with my stomach. It's okay. I have stomach medicine."
After saying that, he took out a bottle of stomach medicine from his pocket, poured it out and took a few pills.
Li Zheng asked him to sit on the sofa and poured him some water.
"What? You seem to be studying something important..."
After taking the medicine, Wan Xiangdong seemed to feel a little better. Maybe it was just because he had hot water in his mouth and felt good.
"Yes." Li Zheng said: "Isn't there going to be a drill summary meeting in two days? I want to do my homework first, and then I will listen to what the Blue Army has to say."
Wan Xiangdong said: "If you didn't mention it, I almost forgot. I asked Lao Gu to write the summary report for me, and it was sent to my office. I haven't had time to read it yet. I have to hurry up and check it out today.
Do you need to modify it?"
After saying that, he sighed: "When the time comes, we defeated generals will have to go to the stage to summarize, conduct self-analysis, and find out the reasons for the failure. Haha... This is even more uncomfortable than going to the stage for an inspection."
Li Zheng said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. Don't pay too much attention to it, brigade commander. They say they are victorious in every battle. How many people are actually victorious in every battle?"
Wan Xiangdong raised his head and glanced at Li Zheng's desk filled with documents, and couldn't help but ask: "I think you seemed to be discussing technical issues of communication interception with someone just now?"
Li Zheng nodded: "Yes, I know a comrade who came from the same regiment as me. He is a computer genius and a top expert in communications. He is now responsible for technical work in the theater intelligence reconnaissance brigade. I will send our
The combat records of the three brigades have been carefully screened. Putting aside the tactics of Wen Chaohui of the White Eagle Brigade, from a technical point of view, his most powerful thing is his interception ability. I have a background in special operations, so I know him very well.
The reason why our special operations detachment is so skilled is simply because the intelligence support is strong enough. When it comes to personal combat quality, the special operations detachment of our brigade reconnaissance battalion may not be worse than them."
"Speaking of this matter, you and I agree." Wan Xiangdong said: "I have barely had food and accommodation with the communications team and the information intelligence team these days. After thinking about it, I decided with Bai Ying
The reason why they took the advantage of the brigade and discovered that all my fuel supplies were not followed by the troops was that they intercepted my communication system. However, our communication station, communication detachment and information intelligence detachment are there.
After analyzing for several days, I screened and reviewed the records of that day one by one, but I couldn’t find a way to get in... but it made me so angry..."
When he said this, his brows furrowed again.
Li Zheng comforted: "I'm not a communications expert, so I have to ask my expert comrade. He told me some technical things. I wonder if you want to hear it?"
When Wan Xiangdong heard this, he immediately became energetic: "Listen! I listen! I want to listen!"
After three "listenings" in a row, the urgency was beyond words.
