Chapter 46

Although this base was not very large, as one of the elite troops of the division.

It was small but complete.

Basically, it had everything.

Zengxia quickly took Zhang Wen from the main gate to various places.

It really opened Zhang Wen's eyes.

After all, he had never been to an Army barracks before.

It happened to be training time, and Zhang Wen saw a group of young men running in full gear.

Zengxia explained that this was armed hiking.

Then he took Zhang Wen to the regiment's staff department.

One of the people inside stood up immediately.

Zengxia introduced: "This is the regiment's Chief of Staff, Wangdong."

"This is the factory director of the Qingtian Military Factory, the person I specifically brought over to solve the problem."

"Hello, hello."

After the two were introduced.

Wangdong looked at Zengxia suspiciously.

Winking meaningfully.

"Is this person reliable?"

Zengxia saw him wink and immediately signaled that there was no problem.

But Wangdong was still a bit worried.

"Introduce your command system to me first."

Zhang Wen sat down quickly and spread out the map on the table.

Zengxia and Wangdong looked at each other, sat down, and began to introduce it to Zhang Wen in detail.

"Currently, it's discussed by me and the staff department, then passed to the squad leader through the company commander, and then the squad leader passes it to each squad."

"Too long."

Zhang Wen said directly.

"Is this still long?"

"There are only two levels, company commander and squad leader."

Wangdong was a bit confused.

"Then let's put it another way, you have artillery in your regiment, right?"

Zhang Wen said.

"If a soldier on the front line encounters an enemy and needs to request artillery support, how should he request it?"

Zhang Wen looked at Wangdong, hoping he would give an answer.

"Naturally, he requests it from the squad leader, then the squad leader requests it from the company, the infantry company commander contacts the infantry battalion commander, the infantry battalion commander contacts the artillery battalion commander, and then the order is issued to each company."

Wangdong didn't hesitate and answered directly; he had long been familiar with this set of procedures.

"Look at how many transmission links are in the middle."

Zhang Wen said helplessly.

"After all this operation, the enemy would have run away long ago."

"Only by refining the entire command chain can we become stronger. Otherwise, just the transmission of orders would take up so much time."

"The timeliness of intelligence and information would be gone."

Zhang Wen explained to him patiently.

Then, he asked Zengxia directly.

"Can I apply for permission for Beidou and the military network, especially the military network?"

Zengxia thought about it.

"It should be possible, I'll try."

Then, he went to apply.

Fortunately, the satellite network had already been established, and this was the moment it was about to be used.

It wasn't very difficult to apply for.

Then, Zhang Wen connected all the equipment he brought to the Beidou satellite and the military network.

After doing all this, Zhang Wen found Zengxia and requested to simulate an exercise in reality.

Zengxia agreed decisively when he heard this condition.

Then he called two companies to attack suddenly.

As the bugle sounded.

Zhang Wen saw a bunch of people suddenly rush out of the building, a bunch of people running to the equipment to quickly check the equipment status.

After a bunch of people finished dressing, they stood in line immediately.

After a while, those who checked the equipment also gathered together.

"This is our attack process."

"Every piece of equipment here is maintained and checked by special people every day, just to be prepared to attack immediately one day."

Zengxia explained to Zhang Wen, who was stunned.

Zhang Wen lowered his head and looked at his watch.

Only ten minutes had passed.

This meant that it only took ten minutes for this unit to go from rest to ready to attack at any time.

Simply heaven-defying.

Truly worthy of being the Fierce Tiger Regiment.

Then, Zhang Wen went with them to a large grassland.

They automatically divided into two teams, preparing to start the exercise.

Zengxia explained: "This is the exercise in our regiment, usually every week we draw lots, some people go to the Red Team, some people go to the Blue Team."

"This kind of exercise is held once every week."

Zhang Wen nodded.

As expected of an elite.

Then, Zhang Wen said: "I brought some equipment. I already tuned it on the way just now."

"I'll command the Red Team later."

Zengxia agreed decisively.

After all, Zhang Wen came to improve their combat effectiveness.

Now that Zhang Wen brought it up himself.

It was just as well that he didn't have to think of an excuse.

Then Zhang Wen took out his three large bags.

And let the Red Team take them to their temporary base.

On the way, the Red Team's original commander, Yang Hong, looked at Zhang Wen in surprise.

Although he knew some rumors that the regiment commander might invite a very powerful person to help them.

But he really didn't understand much.

The scale of this exercise was very small, after all, it was their own internal exercise.

One side had only about a hundred people.

It just so happened that Zhang Wen brought about forty or fifty things, and he couldn't make more than that anyway.

Zhang Wen distributed fifty drones and helmets to the infantry team; these drones had been specially modified.

Connected to the military network, they could transmit the captured pictures to the helmets in real time.

Although they didn't use very good screens, they could see enough.

The drones also used the Beidou positioning function, which was an excuse Zhang Wen specifically reserved.

And the helmets also had it; the ones in the helmets could directly see their respective positions on the screen.

However, there were still many missing functions, which could only be improved later.

The drones could even transmit the corresponding coordinates directly.

Distributing them to everyone, fortunately, they were in groups of two.

Just enough.

The soldiers were still bewildered when they received the helmets.

Until Zhang Wen demonstrated it to them himself.

"Look, there's a button here, press it to turn it on."

Zhang Wen said, pointing to the ear position on the helmet.

"However, the battery inside can be used for at most 5 hours, after which it needs to be charged. And it's not suitable for various harsh natural environments."

"Inside the helmet, at the left eye, there is a screen."

"The angle can be adjusted by yourself, just need to make it comfortable for you to look at."

"This can transmit the pictures seen by the drone."

"Then here."

Zhang Wen showed them the button on the left ear again.

"Here you can directly see a map, the small green dots on it are your real-time positions, these are all satellite-positioned."

"Press it again, and you can switch to the drone's perspective. However, the drone interval is to take a picture every thirty seconds."

"Basically, the drone's position can be determined."

"Behind that button just now is the button to call for bombing."

"Wherever the drone stops, you can directly transmit the coordinates to the artillery's coordinates, artillery, you wait a moment, I'll talk to you later."

"Then you just control the drone to stay away."

Then, Zhang Wen handed them the matching drones.

And demonstrated the drone's operation process to them once.

"Alright, you try it first."

"Try all kinds of functions."

It's not that Zhang Wen didn't want to make it into a video transmission form, but mainly he really didn't expect that even with the military network, the current network speed was still so slow.

Just enough for 2G network speed, transmitting a picture was a bit strenuous.

Then, one by one, they started shouting and screaming looking at the screen in the helmet.

Afterwards, a bunch of drones flew up.

Fortunately, they were soldiers, and their playfulness wasn't that big, otherwise they would have crashed a few machines.

Then, Zhang Wen answered some questions about usage for them.

And came to the artillery.

Zhang Wen took out some tablets from the third bag.

"Are the artillery pieces you have here all the same type?"

Zhang Wen asked.

"No."

They said, straightening their backs.

"Good, you understand the calculation formula for artillery fire, right?"

"Understood!"

They said in unison.

"Good. This screen has the formula, you modify it according to your own artillery."

Zhang Wen knew that after every artillery piece is fired, it will always cause some errors for various reasons.

And these errors are only known to those who spend every day with it.

Actually, this is also a microcosm of manufacturing in this era; those well-made and stable products are basically things from more than ten years later.

Then they took the tablets one by one and set them up.

After a few minutes, they came here to gather again.

"Report, the artillery team has finished setting up."

"Please instruct."

"Good." Zhang Wen said.

"This is a map on it, you only need to know that our people are small green dots."

"Just don't bomb your own people."

"They will send data, you just input the coordinates, and then load and fire according to the data given by the tablet."

"Now, do you hear clearly?"

"Yes!"

"Good. Prepare."

After saying this, they started studying the tablets one by one.

Actually, it's not that Zhang Wen didn't want to make an automated loading and firing system for them, but mainly this artillery was all manually adjusted.

No way.

But it will definitely be built in the future.

Zhang Wen looked at these somewhat old artillery pieces and said in his heart.

After half an hour, Zengxia sent an order.

"Three minutes later, the exercise begins."
