Chapter 944: Why is the commander's elbow turned outward?

At the exercise directorate, a group of officers from the Northwest Theater Command finally showed a proud expression.

Although the current situation has not been completely reversed, the Blues' Man Xiongzhi side still has the upper hand.

But the victories of multiple small local counterattacks are still very encouraging.

At the very least, when they saw Man Xiongzhi fall into the ditch, they all felt a sense of relief.

Even Long Zhenguo's frown relaxed, especially when he saw his son on the screen fighting with the Blue Army near the Red Army's headquarters and successfully repelling the enemy.

He couldn't help but smile: "Good boy, you have indeed learned some skills from Qin Feng!"

In addition to the Northwest Theater Command, members of the observation group also commented on the current battle situation.

It was already this late, and they still stayed here without sleeping. Finally, they saw a rather interesting counterattack.

Although they were all small-scale battles with the largest number of people being only about two or three hundred, it did not affect the viewing experience of the battle at all.

One person even commented that the Red Army commander who formulated this plan and strategy must be as good as Man Xiongzhi in the use of tactics.

These words sounded a bit harsh to the ears of several Blue Army officers present.

From the beginning of the exercise until now, these officers from the grassland have been smiling all the time.

Only then did they finally stop smiling and become slightly more serious.

The commander-in-chief of the Grassland Blue Army, who holds the rank of major general and is Man Xiongzhi's immediate superior, also arrived at the scene.

Facing the crowd's discussion, he simply responded calmly: "On the battlefield, there has never been such a thing as an undefeated general. Warfare is always a back-and-forth. If the Blue Army is overwhelmingly crushing, then someone should reflect on themselves."

Although these words were spoken in a very plain way, they had a great impact.

The Grassland Blues chose to play in their Northwest Theater as their first stop.

"If it weren't for our Northwest Theater's most formidable ace brigade and the Sirius Special Forces being tied up for training in other areas, Man Xiongzhi wouldn't have had the chance to run wild here!"

"Brigade Commander Gong has just been promoted, so he's not the most powerful commander in the northwest. If we had been given enough time to prepare, who knows what the situation would be like now!"

"Quiet! Use your eyes to use the screen, do you need to use your mouth?"

Long Zhenguo snorted coldly, and the discussions immediately quieted down.

Although this exercise came suddenly and they were not well prepared, it did expose some problems.

Although Brigade Commander Gong is not the strongest commander in the Northwest, he is basically at the top level of the second-tier and has won many victories in exercises and confrontations.

But even so, after facing Man Xiongzhi, he was still suppressed, and he was suppressed on his own territory. Doesn't this explain the problem?

On the contrary, Qin Feng's performance after entering the battlefield, although he did not make any big moves, was always steady and cautious.

He found that Qin Feng was very good at grasping small details and thus expanding his advantages bit by bit.

For example, the previous small-scale counterattacks are the best proof.

However, Long Zhenguo was very curious about how Qin Feng persuaded the man surnamed Gong to cooperate with him perfectly and lure the enemy into deep territory?

"Commander, the Red Army's commander-in-chief, Brigadier General Gong, has requested to establish contact with us."

At this time, a communications soldier from the directorate suddenly stood up and reported to the chief director.

During an exercise, contacting the directorate is not considered a violation but is allowed by default.

It's a bit like playing badminton and calling the referee to end the game when something happens.

"Get in."

The director nodded in agreement and then took the walkie-talkie.

The angry voice of Red Army Brigadier General Gong was heard from the other end: "Commander, I protest!"

The voice on the walkie-talkie was so loud that even Long Zhenguo, who was standing next to him, heard it and turned to look over in surprise.

The chief director also glanced at him, turned his back and walked to the side: "What are you protesting about?"

Brigade Commander Gong angrily declared, "I protest! My Red Army support troops are disobeying management and orders! Furthermore, in previous battles, they used our frontline soldiers as bait!"

"Just now, my headquarters came under attack by the enemy, and their men were lying in ambush nearby. They clearly knew the Red Army headquarters was about to be attacked, yet they didn't issue any statement or warning. I have reason to suspect their motives are impure!"

"I hope that the directorate can deprive Qin Feng and Qiu Guohai of their command authority and force them to obey my arrangements and command!"

The chief director shook his head: "Sorry, I can't do that."

Brigade Commander Gong's eyes widened. "How can it be impossible? They are arranged by the directorate. As long as you give an order, they will obey even if they don't want to. And..."

The director interrupted him and explained, "We're simulating a real battlefield right now, where anything can happen. We're simulating a situation where we lose contact with the higher-ups."

"Although you and the reinforced regiment don't belong to the same theater of operations, you are units of the same rank. There's no such thing as one leading the other."

"You are the commander. How to manage your subordinates, communicate with allies, and command the battlefield are issues you should consider."

Brigade Commander Gong was confused: "But..."

The director was firm in his attitude: "No buts! Why didn't the same problem happen to the Blue Army? After the 33rd Combined Brigade arrived at the scene, they immediately discussed the priorities with Man Xiongzhi."

"How to communicate with the reinforcement group, how to establish contact with them, distinguish priorities, and arrange tactics, this is what you should consider."

"The Directorate will not interfere with the normal course of events on the battlefield. That's it. If it's not important, please don't contact the Directorate."

After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone, but the next second Long Zhenguo snatched the walkie-talkie away.

"Damn it! You still have the nerve to charge me with this?"

Hearing Long Zhenguo's voice, Brigade Commander Gong on the other end of the walkie-talkie was so scared that he sat up straight.

"Hello, Commander!"

"I feel bad!"

Long Zhenguo's face was filled with rage. "What kind of troops are you leading? What kind of battle are you fighting? You're being beaten on your own turf? And you still don't know what's going on? You still want to strengthen your command of the regiment? Who gave you the guts to do that?"

Brigadier General Gong was sweating profusely: "......"

Long Zhenguo continued to curse, "Qin Feng's counterattack to lure the enemy deep into our territory was very effective. It not only boosted morale, but also successfully weakened the Blue Army, making them no longer as arrogant as before."

"Originally, I was wondering how you could cooperate so well and act so realistically. Now I understand that you were completely clueless."

"It's a good thing Qin Feng didn't greet you in advance. If he had, would you have cooperated like this?"

"I'm telling you, whoever has the ability takes command on the battlefield! Since you can't defeat Man Xiongzhi tactically, then just hand over the command to Qin Feng and listen to his instructions!"

After saying that, Long Zhenguo hung up the phone completely.

Only the Red Team's commander was left alone in the mess.

He felt like he was raised by a stepmother. He was clearly from the Northwest War Zone, so why was the commander so disloyal?
