Chapter 1940 Simulation Exercise

During the rest period on the second day, Liu Fusheng proposed another battle plan to Xie Zehua.

After listening to Liu Fusheng's battle plan, Xie Zehua hesitated and said, "Will this trick... work?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "I have investigated the situation of the entire exercise field. The current design of this exercise actually has an oversight. That is, there is only one location in the Red Army area that is most suitable for the headquarters. Unless the Red Army is willing to use the field method and camp to rebuild a temporary headquarters, otherwise, they can only choose that location as the headquarters."

"We have bombed that place once. I estimate that the next Red Army unit will choose to repair and continue to use it. After all, the bomb has been buried once, which is enough. It is impossible to bury it again. The area around the headquarters is also the easiest place to deploy anti-aircraft firepower and find shelter from missile attacks."

Xie Zehua said in surprise: "Really? I didn't even notice this, Secretary Liu, your observation skills are really amazing."

Liu Fusheng said: "You are always thinking about how to fight and command, but I am just an idle person who always likes to look at these useless things."

Xie Zehua shook his head and smiled, "Secretary Liu is too modest. I admire you for thinking through all these details. The next plan will be done according to your instructions!"

"It just so happens that the next Red Army unit that will confront us has the best engineers in the Guangdong East Military Region. They are indeed likely to choose Secretary Liu's path. However, we are all ordinary soldiers here and are not very familiar with special situations."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "As for the personnel, I can arrange it."

The next day, the second red army that was fighting against the blue army entered the battlefield and observed the situation comprehensively. It then directly selected the location of the command center and sent people to start repairs.

This emergency repair, of course, did not involve breaking ground, but rather sending out an engineering company to carry out maintenance.

In the actual combat exercise, all deployments were in place.

The Red Army's Chief of Staff said, "This headquarters has been tampered with by the Blue Army. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to choose this place?"

The Red Army commander smiled and said, "During the last exercise, this headquarters was bombed into ruins, which means they can't continue to plant bombs here. The terrain conditions here are very good. Even if the enemy has guided missiles, the air defense system around us can still play a full role."

"We also have solid civil defense works here. Once the Blue Army launches a missile attack, we can immediately retreat to the underground bunker. Even if the Blue Army continues to bury bombs, we can use the excuse that the previous bombs have exploded and the remaining bombs have become ineffective to prevent them from succeeding."

The political commissar also said: "The Blue Army is too cunning. If they can place bombs here, they can place bombs somewhere else. There are not many coordinate points suitable for the headquarters, so it is safer here."

The chief of staff thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Indeed, Brigade Commander Xie is a bit difficult to deal with this time. I heard that many brother troops are discussing this matter, and it has caused a bit of panic."

The commander smiled and said, "Any conspiracy is worthless in the face of absolute strength. As long as we proceed steadily, we won't be taken advantage of by the Blue Army. Xie Zehua's troops are very strong, but we are not a weak team either. It is still unknown who will win this confrontation."

Everyone was discussing tactics when suddenly a chaotic noise was heard outside the command center.

The commander frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on?"

The guard reported: "Report, a group of migrant workers came to the gate, about a dozen people, they said they want to help us repair the headquarters."

Repair headquarters?

The three main officers of the Red Team looked at each other.

The commissar asked, "Where did they come from?"

The messenger said: "It is said that someone has passed the news of the bombing of the training ground to the people, and they have spontaneously organized to help us repair the fortifications."

Everyone on the Red Team laughed. This should be the message left behind by the previous group of exercise troops when they withdrew.

The local people had no idea what was going on and believed everything they heard, thinking that the place where the soldiers were stationed had really been bombed.

The political commissar said: "We have done a very good job in mass work. When people heard that the military was in trouble, they immediately came to help on their own initiative."

The chief of staff laughed and said, "But here, we don't need any maintenance at all. The exercise is just for show."

The political commissar said: "I think we need to thank the masses for their enthusiasm. The military and the people are so close, and this tradition cannot be broken. It will also be beneficial to the subsequent publicity."

After saying that, the political commissar was the first to walk out.

The commander and the chief of staff looked at each other, and then followed the political commissar out. Since the political commissar mentioned the follow-up publicity, they naturally had to show their faces together. Who doesn't want their photos to be published? Maybe it can even provide some help for promotion.

When they reached the gate, they heard someone shouting in the distance: "Young comrades, please don't be polite to us. We have heard about what happened. The building that you used as your temporary headquarters has been blown up."

"We don't have much ability, but we all know that when we were hit by the disaster, it was the soldiers who saved us. Now that the soldiers are in trouble, how can we just stand by and watch."

The soldiers who participated in the exercise explained: "My fellow villagers, you misunderstood. There is nothing wrong here. It was a drill, it was fake!"

As for the migrant workers, a group of them shouted at the same time: "We have all heard that this place was bombed very badly, how could it be possible that nothing happened."

"That's right. The building looks good on the outside, but the internal structure may be damaged. If the building collapses while you are using it, you will regret it."

"Comrade, don't worry, we are very professional in building houses."

……

The soldier at the door was still explaining when the three main officers of the Red Army came out one after another.

The political commissar walked in front and said to the migrant workers with a smile: "My fellow villagers, please be quiet for a moment. I am the political commissar of the army."

This sentence finally quieted the migrant workers down and they all looked over.

The political commissar said: "I have received your kindness, but I want to tell you that we are just conducting a military exercise, a simulation drill."

A dark-faced migrant worker asked, "What does a mock drill mean?"

The political commissar explained: "The simulation exercise simulates the collapse of the building. In fact, it is not damaged at all. The purpose of our military exercise is to train the combat capability and reaction speed of the army. It is impossible to really destroy national property and let the soldiers lose their lives."

The migrant worker suddenly realized, "Oh, now I understand what you said. You are pretending to fight, right? You are not allowed to lie to us. We are all sincere and help the soldiers to work..."

The political commissar smiled and said, "Fellow villagers, we can't thank you enough, how could we lie to you? I, our brigade commander and chief of staff, would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you fellow villagers. Although this is a misunderstanding, we are still very moved by your enthusiasm for our soldiers."
