To be honest, for Qu Sen, teaching a bunch of officers with the rank of private was something that gave him a sense of accomplishment. Moreover, he was no stranger to giving lectures.
Because computers in the country weren't used that much two thousand years ago, it wasn't easy to arrange an internship. Every year, nearly half of Qu Sen's interns would be sent to middle and elementary schools to be computer teachers. Qu Sen spent his internship in a middle school.
Therefore, Qu Sen, who had a year of experience as a teacher, wasn't afraid at all. Every time the class started, the computer would be connected to the projector and he would talk endlessly in front of the screen.
Actually, the computer part of the military officer ranking exam wasn't too difficult. It was mainly about basic knowledge of computers, Windows, and basic operations of Word and Excel.
However, the older officers in the regiment basically had zero knowledge of computers. They used the keyboard with two fingers and many of them didn't even know how to use the mouse. Some of the younger officers who went to military school also learned the DOS system and WPS office software like Staff Officer Wen.
Therefore, when a bunch of officers heard that they were going to be tested on computers, they felt a lot of pressure.
Just like that, Qu Sen was busy trying to catch up on the lost training progress while teaching the officers in the regiment. Soon, it was the end of the month.
Qu Sen's second-class merit was approved along with an order. In July, the infantry regiment would participate in the multi-unit confrontation exercise between the central military region and the southern military region.
On the day of the order, Liu Yuanchao ordered the entire regiment to prepare for war. Suddenly, the intensity of the infantry regiment's training was increased by a few levels. In order to increase the combat effectiveness of the first year soldiers, many of the training subjects that were supposed to start in the second half of the year were also started early.
"If you're not dead, keep running!" became the catchphrase of every platoon leader in the armed off-road training. It was common for them to be half-dead tired during the day and have an emergency meeting in the middle of the night to start the armed off-road training.
However, this wasn't the most difficult part. The soldiers were separated into groups of two and thrown into the mountain ravines. The most difficult part was finding a meeting point with a compass and a map within the allotted time. In the beginning, they trained during the day. Actually, it wasn't too bad. The groups accidentally bumped into each other in the mountains. They could scare each other and travel together. It was quite fun.
But finding something to do in the middle of the night was a pain, and the staff officer who made the training plan was wicked. He kept looking for cloudy days or moonless days. In the middle of the night, he couldn't even see his fingers in front of him, and he was in a completely unfamiliar place.
The eyes of small animals in the wilderness were still very bright at night. When the flashlight swayed carelessly, you might see a pair of green and blue eyes staring at you. Some of the more timid warriors were so scared that they couldn't even move.
Once, when Qu Sen and Cui Pingjie were running together, Cui Pingjie accidentally fell into a fire trap in the mountains. He was so scared that he couldn't make a sound even though he opened his mouth. Qu Sen ran a few steps forward and couldn't hear the footsteps behind him. When he turned around and saw that there was no one behind him, he felt a little scared.
He then shone the flashlight around and saw Cui Pingjie's head sticking out from the grass. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open as he looked at him. At that time, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
In this kind of training that could be said to be difficult but also a little fun, a month of training slowly came to an end.
Just after July 1, Liu Yuanchao passionately made the final pre-war mobilization during the day. In the middle of the night, Qu Sen and his comrades were fully armed and boarded the military truck covered with camouflage nets.
After a day and two nights of bumpy driving, Liu Yuanchao led his regiment to the assembly point. After a short rest, the soldiers watched the pre-war mobilization meeting through the TV. At two o 'clock in the morning, the director gave the order and the cross-military multi-unit joint exercise codenamed "Storm" officially began.
At five o 'clock in the morning, Liu Yuanchao led the infantry regiment and rushed all the way. They entered the preset position nearly twenty minutes early and immediately ordered the construction of defense and hidden fortifications. One hour and twenty minutes later, the entire infantry regiment was camouflaged and waited for the next battle order.
The cross-military multi-unit joint exercise codenamed "Storm" was a red versus blue exercise. The red team used the 22nd Division of the central military region as the backbone and gathered a number of technical units from other divisions in the region.
The Blue Team, on the other hand, was formed not long ago by the southern military region. It was an experimental multi-unit combat division with support from the special forces brigade, the mountain combat brigade, the tactical missile unit, the armored unit, and the helicopter unit. There were even military satellites and electronic surveillance aircraft.
The location of the exercise was set at the intersection of two provinces. It included a large area of two cities and three counties. This area had high mountains and hills, as well as plains and dense river networks. It was enough to fully evaluate the quality of the soldiers and the comprehensive performance of the various weapons and equipment of the red and blue teams.
In addition, in order to more accurately calculate the damage and the lethality of various weapons in actual combat, the exercise also used integrated infrared, vibration, and sound wave detection devices on a large scale for the first time. It was equipped with individual soldiers, vehicles, and large weapons.
Looking at both sides, the red team represented the main military structure and combat power of our army. Although the Blue Team had a lot fewer people participating in the exercise, they gathered the most technologically advanced soldiers in our army.
This exercise was a report of our army after nearly ten years of hard work since the 1991 Gulf War. At the same time, it was also a test. Every participating unit brought out their highest fighting spirit and held back their energy, waiting for the battle to begin.
In the command center of Team Red, Xu Nanguan sat beside the giant sand table with the locations of the various teams of Team Red. After he finished reading through the information he had just gathered about the participating teams of Team Blue through various means, he smiled and said to the political commissar, "Good fellow, the Southern Military Region has really brought out all their resources this time. Are they here to fight or for an exhibition? "
The political commissar also smiled and said, "Yue Jianjun, that kid, is really going all out this time. I think he's just playing around during the day. He'll definitely do something big at night. "
"Ha, who are we afraid of in a night battle?" Xu Nanguan said heroically.
At the same time, in the Blue Team command center, Yue Jianjun looked at the battle zone map pieced together by multiple monitors and said to his deputy, "We're not in a hurry. Let's give our Old Xu more time to prepare. We'll check their homework in a bit."
The deputy division commander laughed and said, "That old senior of mine has always been famous for being good at defense. We've launched probing attacks in two places, but the other side has been watertight."
"Commander, there's still half an hour before the satellite enters the window," a civilian officer who was operating the computer reported.
"Pay attention and mark the suspicious areas. Let the reconnaissance aircraft carry out additional reconnaissance." Yue Jianjun looked at the electronic battle map and gave the order.
The first day after the exercise began slowly passed. The red and blue teams only had a few short probing exchanges of fire.
Soon, night fell.

"Commander, the radio has been jammed." In the red team command center, a staff officer suddenly reported.
"How big is the affected area?" Xu Nanguan looked at the staff officer.
"The enemy has suppressed our entire radio frequency, covering almost the entire battle zone. There shouldn't be any problems with our digitalized communication units, but the troops using old-fashioned communication methods are greatly affected. However, with the wired communication as a supplement, it's not to the extent of cutting off communication, "the staff officer immediately replied.
"Order the seventh regiment to change from the current position to a camouflaged position. After leaving the observation post, the entire regiment will rush to area B5 to rebuild the defense. The ninth regiment will move closer to the first and second regiment and hide in the mountain ridge on the right side of Mount Feng Tou. The entire regiment will remain silent." Xu Nanguan looked at the battle sand table and ordered the two regiments on the front line that were easily cut off to change positions.
"Yes, sir!" The staff officer immediately went to pass on the order and quickly returned. "Commander, the seventh and ninth regiments have received the order. We have lost contact with the other sixteen regiments!"
"Lost contact?" Xu Nanguan stared at the staff officer.

"Commander, the radio has been jammed." The leader of the radio team suddenly stood up and reported.
"Call the division headquarters and report the situation. Ask if there are any new orders." The radio jamming was completely within the scope of the plan. Liu Yuanchao was not surprised and calmly gave the order.
"Commander, the wired communication is unable to connect." The staff officer picked up the phone and quickly reported after dialing.
"What about the communication in the barracks below?" Liu Yuanchao asked.
"Communication in the barracks is normal. All external calls have no signal tone." The staff officer quickly tested and quickly replied.
"Order the reconnaissance company to send out two squads to protect the wired communication line. Then, send out another squad to contact the 45th regiment and the armored regiment. Also, send out the signalman to contact the division headquarters as soon as possible." Liu Yuanchao's expression became serious. He continuously gave a series of orders. After the staff officer went to pass on the order, he once again looked at the battle map on the table.
Intuition told Liu Yuanchao that the troops should immediately move. However, before he could contact the howitzer regiment and armored regiment at the back, his regiment was determined not to move. This was because once they gave up the battlefield, the two brother units at the back could be exposed at any time.
