Chapter 131: The Commander's Questions!

Chapter 131: The Commander's Questions! (Long Chapter)
Perhaps it is to promote the synthetic model, or perhaps it is to gain more initiative.

It was originally just a confrontational military exercise within the regiment, but under the personal operation of Captain Wang, the division chief of staff was invited as a guest.

The division chief of staff personally watched the confrontation military exercise, which meant an upgrade from a regiment to a division.

It's on another level entirely!
Originally, it was just a synthetic experiment conducted by the regiment and could not determine anything substantial. Now with the participation of the division commander, the outcome of the confrontation will determine many things.

For example, the final decision on whether the reorganization of the combined company can be implemented lies within the division.

Although the division chief of staff was appointed by the division commander, the division commander seemed to have sent the chief of staff to watch the confrontation out of respect for Captain Wang's seniority.

In fact, whether it is the chief of staff or the division commander, they are not just considering Captain Wang's face.

There is another deeper meaning!
That is, when Captain Wang introduced it, he specifically mentioned that one of the parties in this confrontation was the company of the 702nd Regiment, which responded to the call for modern military reform and took the initiative to try to transform itself into a synthetic company.

This company that actively underwent synthetic transformation happened to be the 7th Steel Company that performed brilliantly in the division competition.

The 7th Steel Company had just won first place in the division competition, breaking many division records and the entire army's record, winning with absolute strength.

Soon after, they took the initiative to carry out military reforms, and they were reforming combined forces that have not yet been popularized in China but are very popular internationally.

Combining these two points, the gimmick is already high enough.

To be able to reach the position of division commander and chief of staff, one must have a very sensitive nose for mainstream international military information of various countries.

The division commander and the chief of staff were already familiar with the contract tactics that the grassroots had never heard of.

But they don’t have mature experience on how to do it.

And because the "Headquarters" has not yet matured the technology, synthesis is still in the exploratory stage of experimental troops, and contract tactics are still in the experimental stage.

It is impossible to promote it throughout the entire army until the technical experience is fully mature.

This means that even if the division commander or even the army commander knows about the combined tactics, he is unable to implement it because he lacks the technology and experience.

I am still at the stage of knowing that this is happening and waiting for the fruits to ripen.

But even in this context where none of the above are possible...

Among the troops under the T Division, there is actually a unit that can carry out synthetic transformation on its own, and it is a grassroots company that is doing it on its own.

A grassroots company at the lowest level of a district can do things that even a divisional military region cannot.

It sounds so weird!

It was because of this incredible point that the division commander seriously doubted the authenticity of the synthetic transformation and questioned whether the synthetic transformation of the 7th Steel Company was just a shell.

It is a deliberate gimmick to attract attention, but it is a trick with no substance.

But while he was very suspicious, the teacher couldn't help but feel curious.

In addition, the 7th Steel Company is not an ordinary company. The exaggerated results of the competition are obvious. It does not seem like a company that would do something to attract attention.
Under the influence of these contradictory emotions, the commander decided to find out the truth.

Not only did they send someone to watch, they also sent the very important division chief of staff to watch the confrontation military exercise on the 702nd Regiment's behalf.

The authenticity of this matter can be verified through the actual confrontation exercise of the 7th Steel Company.

Nowadays, the popularity of synthesis is very high among the upper echelons of the military.

If the army group had not received the order, the 703rd Regiment under the T Division would have to undergo a preliminary investigation by the mysterious Blue Army in a month, resulting in too much work to do in the division and the division commander would have no time to spare.

The person who will come this time will not be the division chief of staff, but the division commander himself.

……

As the Chief of Staff, accompanied by Captain Wang, arrived at the confrontation command center to watch the game, the red and blue teams also arrived at their designated locations.

The directorate composed of people sent by the combat unit announced matters related to the military exercise to both the Red Army and the Blue Army at the same time.

The tasks of both sides were very simple, even a little too simple. Regardless of the assault company or reconnaissance company, the tasks of both sides were the same.

That is, whoever kills the opponent's company headquarters first will be the winner of the confrontation.

It also clearly told the red and blue sides where the other side's area was on the map, so that both sides knew where to go to find the other side's company headquarters.

There are very few rules of confrontation, just two in total.

First, we cannot ask for help from outside, and second, the company cannot leave the planned area.

The headquarters of the 051th Steel Company, which was assigned to the Red Army, could only move within the A3 area, which was approximately 3 by kilometers in size.

The Red Third Company, which was assigned to the Blue Army, could only have its company headquarters within the B186 area, which was also three by three.

Although the area is only 3 by 3 kilometers, as the lowest-level command unit, the company headquarters only needs a few people and can fit into a few square meters.

To find the target within a few square miles within 900 million square meters.

It’s still very difficult!
Moreover, a carpet search would definitely not work. Even if all the hundreds of people in the company were to go into battle, they would not be enough. Only tactical means and experience-based techniques could be used.

And there is also the mysterious and unpredictable element of luck.

Except for the company headquarters which cannot leave their respective areas, other members of the company are completely unrestricted and can enter and exit any area at will.

Even if you run back to the company and sleep, it’s fine.

As long as you are not afraid of your company being found by the enemy and being easily wiped out without any protection, it will be fine.

Through the rules and tasks announced by the directorate, the 7th Steel Company and the 3rd Red Company immediately realized what the core of this confrontational military exercise was.

The key is to protect your own company headquarters and prevent it from being found and killed by the enemy.

Then, after protecting ourselves, we will think of various ways to find the enemy's company headquarters and then destroy the enemy's command center.

That is to say...

Both the red and blue teams need to have both offensive capabilities and sufficient self-defense capabilities.

After the directorate announced the relevant rules and matters, the confrontation military exercise between the 7th Steel Company and the 3rd Red Company was officially declared to begin.

Exercise headquarters.

It should be limited by conditions and equipment. There are no cameras and drones in every corner of the exercises like in the 21st century.

The leaders only need to sit in the command center to see everything clearly about the opposing sides.

There is only a military map hanging on the wall, which shows in detail the areas where the two opposing sides are located, and a sand table placed in the middle of the command center.

Whether it is the map or the sand table, the red and blue sides are now marked.

Because there is no dynamic between the two sides, there is only one point for both the red and blue sides.

"Captain Wang, the Steel 7th Company and the Red 3rd Company are both the main companies of your regiment. I'm curious about which one you think will win in the confrontation between them."

The chief of staff took a sip of hot tea from the cup and looked at Captain Wang meaningfully.

Captain Wang knew that the chief of staff asked this question because he must have wanted to get some information from him in advance so that he could use it as a basis for making a judgment.

In order to have the best experience when watching military exercises, you should be able to discover more value from them.

The first thing to do is to have a sense of immersion. Only when you are fully immersed in it and in the situation, can you discover valuable information.

The sense of immersion comes from standing in one's mind, integrating oneself into one of the parties, and watching this confrontation exercise as if one were a member of that party.

It's like watching a football game, you have to choose a side to support, so that it will be more exciting.

In order for the Chief of Staff to choose sides and position himself, he must know the basic information of the red and blue sides so that he can make a judgment and choose what he wants most.

of course.

Even if I make a choice, it is only in my heart and I will not say out loud who I support.

Captain Wang knew the chief of staff's intention, so he did not hide anything and first introduced the Red Third Company, its position in the 702nd Regiment and its achievements in previous years.

Not much to say, very concise.

Overall, it is a standard main force company with excellent performance and results in all aspects.

As the absolute protagonist of this event, the 702th Steel Company is the only hope for the nd Regiment to achieve independent reorganization. The time introduced by Captain Wang has more than doubled.

Starting from the history of the rebirth of the 7th Steel Company, to the various outstanding performances of the 7th Steel Company in previous years, to the current active transformation and self-growth.

He spoke eloquently for no less than five minutes, almost praising the Seventh Steel Company to the sky.

The two companies are all equal, but Captain Wang's introductions are very different. It's not that he is making special treatment for the two companies, but it's really too important for the Seventh Steel Company to be integrated.

It not only concerns the future of the 702nd Regiment, but also the future of Captain Wang.

Captain Wang is already old and has already boarded the last train of his military career. There is not much time left for him to make further progress.

Under Chen Jun's strong performance and leadership, the division won two first places in the competition.

Let Captain Wang step one foot into the division.

If we want to step in with the other foot and complete the "big class" leap from regiment to division, the synthetic technology and experience of the 7th Steel Company is the best stepping stone.

Being promoted from a regimental unit to a divisional unit is like going from a third-level non-commissioned officer to a fourth-level non-commissioned officer.

Even though there is only one level, there is a gap in the middle.

It is no exaggeration to call it one in a thousand!

Captain Wang’s age is no longer an advantage. If he doesn’t find a way to move up in the next two years, he will most likely have to retire when his term as a regular captain expires.

Now is the beginning of the synthesis of the 7th Steel Company, and the confrontation is a magic mirror that witnesses the truth of the synthesis.

There is no doubt that Captain Wang will be more inclined to the more valuable 7th Steel Company in the context of military reform, both for public and private reasons.

After listening to Captain Wang’s introduction, the Chief of Staff became even more interested in the 7th Steel Company.

It’s not the 7th Steel Company.

But it is the "contract tactics" currently used by the 7th Steel Company.

Assuming that the technology used in the synthetic transformation of the 7th Steel Company is "orthodox" contract tactics, rather than just a gimmick.

The value that the 7th Steel Company can bring to the division, and even the impact it can have on our army...

Even the Chief of Staff couldn’t imagine it!!
"Captain Wang, I can see that you attach great importance to the transformation of the 7th Steel Company and are very confident in its combat effectiveness, but..."

The chief of staff said halfway, then suddenly changed the subject: "But it's useless to just talk and talk on paper.

Whether the 7th Steel Company's self-organized synthesis is the real Sun Wukong or a fake Six-eared Macaque, I think the answer will soon be revealed."

"Then let's wait and see."

This confrontation was the first show of the 7th Steel Company after its transformation. Captain Wang had no reference at all and had no idea what to expect, so he could only smile for the time being.

……

Blue Army Company.

After learning the mission and rules of the confrontation, all the company and platoon leaders of the Red Third Company gathered together to discuss how to fight this battle.

"Comrades, the Seventh Steel Company is very strong. There is no doubt about that. If we want to defeat them, we must be fully prepared, take the most positive attitude, and do our best to fight this battle."

As the instructor of the third company, He Hongtao started by boosting morale.

After all, everyone in the 702nd Regiment is well aware of the strength of the th Steel Company, not to mention that in last year's competition, the th Steel Company's performance was too strong.

Even though the Red Third Company is also a main company, the strong-willed Third Company Commander is not afraid of the Steel Seventh Company.

However, the platoon leaders, squad leaders, and soldiers who were not so mentally stable were under tremendous psychological pressure when facing such a strong Steel 7th Company.

It was indeed a very wise choice for He Hongtao to boost morale at the beginning.

He is worthy of being the instructor with the longest experience!
"The instructor is right. We really need to show our attitude. The 7th Steel Company is also a main force company and its strength is still very good, but..."

The third company commander said halfway, then changed his tone and said: "But don't forget, the seventh company is just a reconnaissance company, and frontal combat is not their strong point.

The terrain of this confrontation is most suitable for head-on combat, and the confrontation mission also requires head-on combat.

When it comes to frontal assault and confrontation, our Red Third Company has a huge advantage. The Steel Seventh Company cannot compare with us at all. Their equipment and tactics are inferior to ours.

As long as we find the right opportunity and formulate a suitable battle plan, it will not be difficult to kill the 7th Steel Company."

The third company commander's confident words aroused the enthusiasm of all the company cadres, and they no longer had any fear of the Seventh Steel Company.

"Steel 7th Company is a reconnaissance company. They are better than us at finding infiltration. I think we can use defense instead of offense, wait for the opportunity, consume the manpower of Steel 7th Company, and then counterattack when the time is right."

The deputy company commander took the lead in proposing a tactical plan, which was a more steady defensive counterattack tactic.

"We have more manpower and equipment than the 7th Steel Company. It would be too cowardly to just defend and fight. I think it would be better to push all the troops forward and defeat the 7th Steel Company from the front with our best offensive operations."

Encouraged by the third company commander and the instructor, the platoon leader was full of confidence in his tactics.

"Although the Seventh Company is an armored reconnaissance company, according to my personal understanding, since the Seventh Company Commander took office, he has been training as an assault company. In terms of frontal assault operations, his combat effectiveness is likely to be no worse than ours."

The deputy instructor hit the nail on the head and pointed out the true nature of the 7th Steel Company.

"I've also heard what the deputy commander said. Besides, the company headquarters cannot leave the B186 area. If we push the entire company over there and leave the company headquarters alone here, what if the Seventh Company sneaks over... I think it's too risky." The second platoon leader said worriedly.

"Or, let's scout the terrain first, occupy the advantageous position for him, block all the ways in, and don't give the 7th Steel Company a chance to infiltrate. Then we can consider whether to attack or defend."

The third platoon leader had different ideas. His main concern was to prevent infiltration and counter the reconnaissance, which the reconnaissance company was best at.

"Defense is too passive and it is easy to be led by the enemy. Modern warfare focuses on taking the initiative. Only by taking the initiative can you gain the upper hand."

"The Seventh Company is a reconnaissance company, and is best at concealment. Is it that easy to find? It's such a large area, what if the whole company can't find it?"

"The company headquarters is the core. All tactical plans must focus on protecting the company headquarters."

……

The platoon leaders and cadres of the third company were talking one after another, expressing their views and opinions, but the company commander just listened and said nothing.
