After hearing this, both of them understood the generosity of the brigade commander, so they both calmed down and prepared to analyze the battlefield situation.
But at this moment, the communications staff officer shouted: "Brigade commander, the phone number of the director's department."
Director's phone number?
The brigade commander looked at the chief of staff in surprise. The chief of staff also didn't understand. The director usually wouldn't call the troops below easily. After all, this would affect the fairness and objectivity of the exercise. The chief of staff took the phone over and looked at the brigade commander.
Leader: "Would you like to answer?"
The brigade commander did not hesitate and reached out to take it. It was a blessing, not a curse. It was a curse that could not be avoided. Besides, although the artillery battalion had temporarily lost its combat effectiveness, it did not mean that there would be no combat effectiveness in the future. As long as the artillery battalion was still there, after two
God, if follow-up support arrives, the artillery battalion will naturally regain its combat effectiveness.
Besides, which combined battalion does not have an artillery battery in it? Our brigade still has combat effectiveness. It does not mean that without the support of the artillery battalion, our brigade will collapse. This is impossible.
It's just that you have to be weaker later on. This may affect the outcome of the exercise, but it doesn't mean you will definitely lose.
To put it bluntly, even if I lose this exercise, what will happen?
It’s not like you just slap me off as the brigade commander, and besides, your director doesn’t have the right to do it. The most you can do is scold yourself, no matter how cruel you are.
"I am the red brigade commander, who are you?"
A voice quickly came from the other end of the phone: "I am the combat staff officer of the director's department. May I ask, comrade brigade commander, who is the commander of your artillery battalion? The commander needs to know."
The brigade commander frowned: "Comrade Staff Officer, according to the exercise regulations, I don't have to report this directly to the director."
The combat staff officer quickly smiled and said: "Of course it is not needed during the exercise, but now that the exercise is about to end, and the director department has begun finishing work, do you still need to hide it?"
What?
Is the exercise about to end?
The brigade commander looked at the anxious situation of the two parties on the map in front of him, and did not see that the exercise was about to end: "Are you from the director's department? Please report your number and the exercise number of our troops."
Exercise numbers are generally not leaked. Only the brigade commanders of the two parties know this. What he is most afraid of now is that his system will be invaded by the blue team's special forces. But on second thought, it should be impossible to directly invade the command of a brigade.
Department, even if the blue side has an entire electronic army, it will be very difficult to do it.
After all, a brigade-level unit is a brigade-level unit in one of the best countries in the world. If its system can be broken into so easily, it will be a big deal in the world.
The combat staff of the director's department quickly reported the corresponding number. The brigade commander no longer doubted his identity, but asked: "Excuse me, why is the exercise ended? The current situation is anxious, and even the director's department cannot easily judge it.
Who wins and who loses.”
The headquarters of both red and blue sides are like generals in chess. Everyone knows that as long as the general is captured, the game is won, so as long as the general headquarters of both sides are destroyed, the exercise is over.
After all, the exercise is not a real battlefield. During the exercise, even if you fight to the last soldier, you can still fight.
But in actual combat, if the casualty ratio exceeds one-third, this unit will have almost no combat effectiveness. Of course, you can find countless examples to refute my point of view, but according to "Frontline Air Strike Effect Assessment: Company-Level Troop Casualty Rate,
According to the paper "The Relationship between Suppression and Combat Effectiveness", as long as an army loses more than 30% of its strength in a short period of time, the army is already facing collapse.
The elite division may have a little more, but basically the difference won't be too big.
This theory can be applied to exercises, but of course it cannot. After all, the will to fight is very mysterious and cannot be precisely controlled. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the director’s method of judging victory depends on the situation of the two headquarters. Your
If the headquarters is gone, then you will definitely lose, so there is no objection to this.
The reason why the director has not announced the end of the exercise yet is because they need to collect data and see clearly what the situation of the blue brigade headquarters was like under the bombardment before announcing the order to end the exercise.
Of course, these finishing touches do not affect the failure process of the blue team. When a brigade headquarters is covered by artillery fire from a heavy artillery battalion, the outcome is naturally determined, not to mention that they also directly covered two bases. This
It's even more deadly.
When the operational staff of the director's department saw the red brigade commander and didn't know why the exercise ended, he took the initiative to remind him: "Don't you know what your artillery battalion did?"
Of course the brigade commander knew, but he didn't understand what this had to do with the end of the exercise. The artillery battalion was out of artillery shells, and they would be able to replenish them in two days. He would not collapse just because an artillery battalion was out of ammunition.
"Comrade Staff Officer, please make it clear."
The combat staff did not mince words: "Your artillery battalion fired two base artillery shells at the blue brigade headquarters. The blue brigade headquarters was destroyed. It is estimated that the victory of the red side will be announced in half an hour. Chief
He is very curious about the commander of the Red Square Artillery Battalion, so he needs to know the name of this commander, please tell me immediately."
When the red brigade commander heard this, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time. It was not until the chief of staff saw that the brigade commander had stopped moving in surprise that he quickly patted him on the shoulder: "Brigade commander, you haven't hung up the phone yet.
"
Only then did the brigade commander react: "The acting battalion commander of the Red Square Artillery Battalion is Comrade Lin Yi from the battalion commander's squad. Please inform the commander in time."
Then hung up the phone.
The chief of staff asked carefully: "Brigade commander, what is the purpose of the call from the director's department? Although the artillery battalion did not do well this time, we can correct it. There is no need to push Lin Yi out."
The brigade commander looked at the chief of staff at this time and raised his voice: "If I don't push Lin Yi out, why don't I push you out?"
This high-pitched tone silenced the entire headquarters. The staff members were all thinking, have all the things done by the artillery battalion been reported to the director's office?
The chief of staff was also stunned. He didn't understand why the brigade commander, who always kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs, spoke loudly to him. He was right. The brigade commander should take care of the battalion commander's mistakes, not a higher-level one.
When the sky falls, there is a high roof. The brigade headquarters is higher than the battalion headquarters. If something goes wrong, it is the brigade headquarters that will bear the roof.
As for how to deal with the battalion headquarters in the future, that is a matter for the brigade headquarters, and the director should not directly interfere with it.
The brigade commander didn't mean to speak loudly, but the suffocation accumulated in his heart was suddenly relieved and had to be discharged.
Of course, after getting rid of the sulkiness, it’s time to laugh.
The entire headquarters itself was extremely quiet. The brigade commander's sudden laughter made everyone even more confused. What happened to the brigade commander? It shouldn't be like this just because of the mistake of an artillery battalion.
