Chapter 897 Veteran
The night was as dark as ink, tightly enveloping the Chongqing Military Region Joint Command Center. Surrounding this huge building were sentries on duty and armed patrols passing by every 10 minutes.
Although the time was already 00:33 in the morning, the inside of this super-large joint command center was still brightly lit, and filled with heat and noise that was completely different from the outside world.
On the huge main display wall, 10 spliced screens are shining blue light, like an ocean of data, including aerial drone views, traffic artery monitoring, and coordinate points of each unit updated every minutes, etc.
A large amount of image data flashes and jumps on the main display wall, together outlining a spectacular dynamic military panorama.
On the stepped command seat, there were more than a dozen colonel-level officers on night duty, all dressed in neat uniforms. Occasionally, they would have a brief exchange with each other, but would quickly turn their attention back to their own screens, always ready to deal with emergencies transferred from the front line.
In the central command area, the dual-screen tactical display and control system of the curved operating console was emitting a cold white light. Operators wearing headsets and dressed in starry sky camouflage training uniforms were tapping on the keyboards, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making a continuous "click-click" sound.
"Commander, I have made your bed."
Located in the corner of the central command area, the orderly unfolded the folding field bed, laid it flat, and put a standard pillow and green blanket on it. Then he reported to Lu Chong who was reading the battle report nearby.
"Well, by the way, make the beds for Corps Commander Yu Zhengguo and Deputy Corps Commander Zhao, right next to me." Lu Chong ordered without even raising his head.
"Yes!"
After saying this, Lu Chong raised his head after reading the battle report and said to Zhao Gang and Yu Zhengguo who were sitting across from the command table:
"I have read the battle reports. The East Column, West Column, and North Column are basically advancing according to plan. There are no major problems. The three groups have killed more than 300 million enemies in the past few days. The recovery of Peilin, Hechuan and other places has progressed more than half. The results are gratifying!"
Having said that, Lu Chong couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face.
"This is a very good start. This result is inseparable from the help of you two, Lao Yu and Lao Zhao!"
"We are all brothers fighting in the trenches now. I won't say more, or I, Lu Chong, will seem hypocritical. Your contributions will definitely be reflected in the battle report submitted to the war zone headquarters!"
Having been in a high position for such a long time, Lu Chong has been making progress all the time. Only he himself knows whether he has changed in his bones, but on the surface, his speech has become more and more sophisticated and more and more official.
However, these were not just nice words or polite remarks, but Zhao Gang and Yu Zhengguo had indeed helped him a lot in the past few days.
The battle to recapture Yucheng was so large in scale that it involved all aspects. For Lu Chong, organizing a battle of this magnitude was like a first time for a young lady to get married.
Therefore, compared with him, the head of a military region who rose from the grassroots level, Yu Zhengguo, who has been immersed in leadership positions for many years, has indeed given a lot of constructive opinions and solutions.
In other words, when it comes to equipment alone, Zhou Bangcai can be said to be an expert, but when it comes to command, an orthodox cadre like Yu Zhengguo, who has worked his way up from the grassroots level step by step and has gone through a lot of job experience and practical training, can definitely be said to have a profound foundation.
Regarding this point, Lu Chong and Zhao Gang definitely have the right to speak after working with him for the past few days, and it is no exaggeration to say that they have benefited a lot from it.
So compared to when they first met, Lu Chong's attitude towards Zheng Guo is now surprisingly polite, and his rude side is completely put away.
True gentleness
"Hahaha~ Thank you very much, Commander Lu!"
When Yu Zhengguo heard Lu Chong say that he wanted to reflect his contribution in the battle report, he did not pretend to be noble and refuse.
He has just entered the Zhongzhou war zone system, and what he lacks is the opportunity to show off and make contributions. Otherwise, he will have nothing, so who would support him as the legion commander?
In the final analysis, the army still has to rely on military achievements to speak, and he feels that he is still young. Now that he has arrived at a new stage, he also wants to try to see if there is any possibility of improvement.
With the current momentum of the Zhongzhou War Zone, it is hard to say where the future will go. By that time, the tide will rise and all your efforts now will be super doubled. In this case, I believe anyone with a sound mind will know that you should try your best.
"Chong, I think we have to start collecting zombie crystal cores at the same time. Otherwise, if we only report casualties without any gains, the war zone commander won't be satisfied." Zhao Gang suggested.
"Well, that's right! This zombie crystal core is the key, Lao Zhao, you reminded me!"
"I will order each unit to divert some of their energy to collect zombie crystal cores. We will try to convert the results of the battle into crystal cores as soon as possible and send them to the war zone!"
On the side, listening to the conversation between Zhao Gang and Lu Chong, the commander of the 77th Army Corps, Yu Zhengguo, remained calm on the surface, but felt very strange in his heart.
The Central Plains War Zone seems to have an unusual emphasis and obsession with zombie crystal cores...
Do you value the crystal core?
At this moment, Yu Zhengguo was thinking secretly, as if he had found the ladder to his own progress.
At this moment, a staff officer came over from the communications area and reported quietly to the three people:
"Report to the commander, the Yezhou Special Service Brigade reports that the troops have arrived in Jiangjin District!"
Yezhou Special Forces Brigade has arrived? ?
Hearing the news, Lu Chong suddenly stood up from his seat, looking very excited.
It’s been several days since we received the news of the Yezhou Special Service Brigade’s transfer, and today is finally here!
If we have to blame someone, we can only blame the fact that the soldiers of the Yezhou Special Service Brigade are too big. The same size carriage can accommodate nearly a hundred soldiers, but can only accommodate less than 50 special service brigade soldiers.
In addition, with the outbreak of war on the front line, the pressure on material supply increased sharply, so that material transportation squeezed out a large part of the transportation capacity originally allocated to the special service brigade.
But it is not too late now, and it can even be said that it is just in time. Lu Chong is also having a headache today because of the problem of the railway troops being blocked in the Banan tunnel group.
Heavy weapons cannot be used and the propulsion effect of light weapons is not very good, so only the Yezhou Special Service Brigade is suitable to solve this problem.
Thinking of this, Lu Chong immediately gave an order: "Immediately contact General Xu Changguo of the 1st Special Service Brigade of Yezhou, report to him the situation of the railway troops being blocked in the Banan Tunnel Group, and ask him if he has any solution."
Lu Chong had attended a training course for middle and senior cadres. Although he didn't stay there for long and had only a brief contact with them, the old generals at the Military Command College still left a very deep impression on him.
Especially the look and temperament occasionally revealed by those old generals, even though he was naturally reckless, he was also afraid...
That feeling of oppression is like a toddler tiger seeing a real dragon turning over...
So although Lu Chong had the power to command the troops entering the Yucheng battlefield, he did not dare to command this person. Even if he needed to mobilize the other party, he would only communicate with him in a negotiating manner...
