Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 1185 Elite Team? Hah, laughable!

"Good morning, Deputy Chief of Staff!"

"I love your grandma!"

Deputy Chief of Staff Guo Haitao drove briskly to a logistics support company.

The two sentries at the gate saluted when they saw the newcomer, but each of them was kicked.

Where are your company commander and deputy company commander?

"Where did your instructor go?"

"You've been mobilized for an emergency, but you can't even contact a single person. Are you guys acting like soldiers?"

The two sentries were also startled and immediately activated their mobilization mechanism. How come they hadn't received any information?

Guo Haitao rushed into the camp, and a platoon leader immediately ran over to ask what had happened.

Unsurprisingly, he was slapped across the face: "Are all the commanders in your unit dead? Their phones are off, and no one's answering the phone in the duty room!"

Without saying a word, he picked up his whistle and blew it loudly: "Assemble everyone immediately and lead all soldiers to the xxx area. Even if you have to floor the gas pedal until it smokes, you must reach your destination before dawn!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The platoon leader quickly took on the responsibility of relaying the deputy chief of staff's orders.

Seeing the densely packed figures running around the dormitory building, Guo Haitao didn't stop for a moment and immediately drove to the next unit.

This emergency mobilization came too suddenly. In many units, the transmission of orders was obstructed because the commanders made mistakes, so he had to go to each unit one by one.

......

Meanwhile, in a command vehicle speeding towards its destination, Brigade Deputy Commander Sun Quan was making phone calls to the duty rooms of different units one by one.

"Where are your company commander and political instructor? Why are all their cell phones switched off, and we can't get through to their office phones either?"

"Don't know where it went? If you don't know, why don't you go look for it? Dig three feet into the ground and find it for me!"

"You're the clerk? You're in! Immediately order all troops to assemble and march towards the xxx region. You must arrive before dawn, or I will hold you responsible!"

"Hey, hey, I can't get through to the Second Battalion headquarters again! Has that guy arrived on the scene yet? What the hell is going on? I need to find out!"

"Zhou Fujun, what's the situation on your end? Oh, okay, you're on your way, almost at your destination! Alright, alright!"

Sun Quan seemed to have eight heads, frantically directing his soldiers to contact various grassroots units.

So far, apart from the First Battalion, namely the Steel Knife Combined Arms Battalion, the Training Section, and the Special Operations Company, whose personnel can be contacted, the command posts of other units are either out of contact or partially out of contact.

Orders can only be relayed through the next lower-level commander, but this is too time-consuming and also presents certain communication barriers.

But at this moment, someone was even more anxious than him, and that was the combined arms brigade commander, Lü Chong.

As soon as the emergency mobilization order was given, he was immediately awakened from his sleep.

They even put on their military uniforms in the vehicle without any delay.

I thought that after so much adjustment and training, we should be able to produce some results to show the higher-ups.

But unexpectedly, the mission failed before it even began, and even the simplest emergency pull had major problems.

Lu Chong's face was so pale it could drip water: "What's the situation right now?"

Sun Quan immediately reported: "Currently, we can only contact Zhou Fujun, Li Jiasheng, and Ge Zhiyong. Almost all other units are experiencing varying degrees of problems with orders not being transmitted."

"It's like, it's like..."

"It's like the local command center was taken down."

Lu Chong squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, and everyone in the carriage felt as if they had instantly fallen into an ice cave.

If it's just one or two units, it might be classified as a coincidence.

But with so many units experiencing problems simultaneously, and powerful units like the Steel Knife Combined Battalion and the Special Operations Company remaining unscathed, the answer isn't hard to guess.

The higher-ups secretly sent people to cut off communication between the command posts of all levels of grassroots units, and even beheaded all the grassroots commanders and soldiers.

Lu Chong felt a chill run through his body, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably. Since the war in the 1980s, very few things had caused him to react like this.

Even with the massive downsizing and the reorganization of divisions into brigades, he managed to survive, but he never expected to stumble here.

"Haha, hahahaha..."

Lu Chong suddenly laughed out loud, then threw his head back and burst into laughter.

People do laugh out loud when they're speechless.

But the laughter sent chills down the spines of the other brigade leaders in the car.

Sun Quan asked with great concern, "Brigade Commander, are you alright?"

Lu Chong shook his head vigorously: "I'm fine, how could I be fine? I've been in the army for so many years, and even with powerful enemies and formidable opponents, we've gritted our teeth and persevered."

"A top-tier team? Hah, laughable, utterly laughable!"

Lü Chong's words were tantamount to slapping himself in the face several times.

Everyone in the combined arms brigade felt a burning pain on their faces.

Where was the former high spirits of everyone? All that remained was frustration and helplessness.

Although they hadn't reached their destination yet, they seemed to have already foreseen the outcome.

Even if a grassroots unit arrives at the scene within the designated time, problems will inevitably arise when it comes to assembling the team and assigning tasks, if it loses its commander.

Is it possible to have a platoon leader command a company or a battalion and also have them complete the assessment requirements?

Almost predictably, it was a complete mess!

Moreover, given the current situation, many units may arrive late.

If a real war breaks out, then he, as the brigade commander, will have missed a crucial opportunity and suffered a setback. Being dismissed and investigated would be the least of his worries!

Lu Chong closed his eyes, constantly adjusting his breathing, as if trying to accept the fact: "It's too late to say anything more now. Tell all grassroots units to hurry to their destination, especially the logistics support units, they must ensure that ammunition and fuel are sufficient."

"Commander, breaking news: the logistics support unit encountered loose rocks blocking the road during the emergency mobilization and cannot reach the destination along the planned route; they will have to take a detour..."

"......"

Lu Chong felt a sweet taste in his throat and his vision went black.

Just what I feared most came to pass; there was no logistical support.

Even if the combat units reach their destination, their ammunition reserves will likely be insufficient to handle any complex assessment tasks.

Lu Chong can only pray that the assessment will be a little easier, so that he can at least salvage his reputation.

......

At the same time, a helicopter landed at the assessment site.

This area is very vast, but the ground is full of craters caused by artillery shells.

This is an armored integrated training ground dedicated to the army group. Some of the surrounding hills and slopes have been marked with circles drawn with lime powder as fixed targets.

Qin Feng got off the plane and went into a tent. Wei Shanhe had just arrived.

Holding a document in his hand, he said seriously, "Your assessment plan is fine, but it's a bit too complicated."

Qin Feng nodded: "It was intentional. I blocked their logistical support. They're out of ammunition and fuel now. I want to see how they're going to complete the assessment."

Wei Shanhe took a deep breath, his mood also heavy: "You came from a combined arms brigade, after all. If you do this, Lü Chong will definitely hate you to death."

Qin Feng looked at him: "I'd rather he hate me than see our once-elite team reduced to this state. To complete the pilot program, we must take drastic measures!"
