Chapter 192 Target: The first “all-NCO battalion” in the entire army!
Chapter 192 Target: The first “all-NCO battalion” in the entire army!
The training team’s subject schedule is very tight and every day is spent in busyness.
Hard work makes people forget the time. The training period seemed to be accelerated, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.
but.
Although working hours go by quickly, every day is very fulfilling.
The soldiers who participated in the training were training others and sharing their combat experiences, which was actually a way for them to improve themselves and become better.
Because in the process of sharing, it is equivalent to reviewing lessons and consolidating one's strength, and it can also help to identify possible problems and facilitate subsequent improvements.
The soldiers in the training team all gained something, and Chen Jun also completed his work successfully.
After finishing the training and lectures for all the regiments of the T Division and reporting back to the division headquarters with the team, Chen Jun personally handed over the preparatory plan for the combined battalion he had written and the perfected combined tactics theory to the division commander.
The commander, who had been impatient for a long time, began to read it carefully in front of Chen Jun.
Although he did not talk to Chen Jun during the period, it did not prevent the commander from being amazed by the content and constantly expressing his praise.
It can be seen that the content is eye-opening for the teachers and principals.
It took the commander nearly half an hour to finish reading the plan and theory written by Chen Jun.
He was very satisfied with the content. At least he couldn't find any faults with it. There was just one thing that made him a little confused.
"Deputy Captain Chen, your plan is very well written and the theory is also very brilliant. With these two pieces of information, I will be more confident when I go to the military region, but..."
The division commander was halfway through his words when he suddenly changed the subject and said, "I see you have emphasized that the combined battalion must be composed entirely of non-commissioned officers, which may be a bit difficult.
There is no precedent for an all-non-commissioned officer camp not only in our group army, but even in the entire army.
Even in the best case scenario, if the army group commander above can support it, to realize an all-non-commissioned officer battalion, a regiment alone cannot do it, and it may take the strength of the entire division to build it.
The scope of influence is so wide and the mobilization is so huge. If we fail to form combat effectiveness in the end, this responsibility will be..."
The commander paused here, frowned and looked extremely serious. He paused for a full three seconds, as if he had made some decision.
He stared into Chen Jun's eyes and said in a stern tone: "Deputy Company Commander Chen, I will ask you one last time, how confident are you in this combined battalion?"
"I'm absolutely sure."
Chen Jun did not hesitate for a second and explained: "The organization of the combined battalion is very complex, the structure is very broad, and it is not as simple as an ordinary battalion.
Especially as the first person to try something new, there is no experience to draw on and you can only rely on yourself to figure things out. This road is destined to be more bumpy and you will encounter various problems in the process.
In order to ensure that the combined battalion can form combat effectiveness, it is necessary to carry out the most basic training of soldiers and assemble the best soldiers for the sprint.
Only with the determination to die if not successful can the combat effectiveness of the combined battalion be maximized.
I know the cost to the entire NCO battalion will be great, but the benefits will be equally great, and if someone needs to take responsibility, I am willing to sign a military order."
Non-commissioned officers are the backbone of the army and play a key role in connecting the upper and lower levels.
If the combined battalion is composed entirely of non-commissioned officers, then there is no need to waste time training new recruits, and all the time can be spent on contract tactical training.
The quality of the fighters is higher and the timing is more uniform.
Just taking these two advantages into account is enough to speed up the construction of the combined battalion by 30 percent.
It is precisely because the advantages of all-non-commissioned officers are so great that Chen Jun highlighted the new concept of an all-non-commissioned officer battalion in the preparatory plan for the combined battalion.
"You can't afford it, and you don't need to bear it. I just need your words to be enough."
All the commander wanted was Chen Jun's attitude. Now that he had received Chen Jun's firm answer, he could make the final decision in his heart.
While sorting out the information submitted by Chen Jun, he said simply: "Then let's do it this way. After you go down to the company, continue to adjust the current synthetic company.
Leave the rest to me, I will go to the military region to see the chief in person.
Whether it succeeds or not, I will give you an answer in a month at most."
It can be heard from the division commander's words that he has shown a desperate spirit and is ready to risk his reputation in a fight to take down the combined battalion.
Seeing that the division commander had shown such courage, Chen Jun immediately gained full confidence.
He believed that the teacher could do it!
Even if we take a step back and say that if the division commander really can't handle this matter, Chen Jun can only go to Gao Cheng and ask him to help arrange a private chat opportunity, and he will go out in person to try to persuade Division Commander Gao.
It was two hours later when I came out of the commander's office.
The other members of the training team who had returned to the division to report had all been sent away by the car arranged by the division, leaving only Chen Jun behind.
However, the division commander arranged a car for Chen Jun alone, which did not affect Chen Jun's return to the company.
But when Chen Jun was standing on the roadside in front of the division headquarters building, waiting for the car arranged by the division to come and pick him up, a low-profile "Qibing" version of the Cheetah off-road vehicle suddenly stopped in front of Chen Jun.
"Squeak-"
Just when Chen Jun was still wondering, the right rear window of the SUV slowly rolled down, revealing a familiar face inside.
"Hello, Captain!"
Chen Jun immediately saluted and greeted.
"Chen Jun, I haven't seen you for a month. You look a lot darker. It seems you have been working very hard recently."
Captain Wang joked with a smile on his face, and then he suddenly realized and said, "Where are the other members of the training team? How come you are the only one left without a commander?"
As Captain Wang spoke, his eyes looked left and right.
See if there are others.
"Report to the regiment commander, the division has arranged a car and has sent them all away. The division commander asked me to come over for a talk, so I stayed until the end. However, he has already arranged a car and the driver has gone to the parking lot to pick it up." Chen Jun said.
"The commander called you in for a private talk? That must be to praise you. In the past month that you've been teaching, the group's phone has been bombarded with calls from other groups. They're all calling to praise you. It's really annoying me."
Captain Wang said he was annoyed, but crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes due to smiling.
Reveal all the inner happiness!
"Praise is not the most important thing. The main reason they called me over was to talk to me about forming a combined battalion." Chen Jun explained with a smile.
"Oh? A combined battalion?"
Captain Wang became interested and said, "Come on, get in the car, let's talk while we walk. Tell me what's going on."
The 7th Steel Company has only just been reorganized into a combined company, and it performed brilliantly in this exercise.
It can be said that he stole the limelight.
If a combined battalion is formed on this basis and the organization is upgraded by one level, it will be calculated based on the size of five companies using the most stupid method.
Wouldn't that increase the combat power fivefold?
The first combined company in the entire army was deployed in the 702nd Regiment. If the combined battalion could also be deployed in the 702nd Regiment, Captain Wang couldn't imagine how comfortable it would be.
"Okay, wait a moment."
Chen Jun just wanted to talk to Captain Wang about things related to the construction of the combined battalion. After all, Captain Wang was his direct superior, so he agreed to the conversation.
"Comrade Sentinel, please help pass on a message. If the division's car comes later, you can tell them that I have left and returned in our regiment's car. Is that okay?"
Chen Jun trotted to the gate and asked the sentry guarding the gate to help pass on the message.
"Okay, Chief."
The sentry saluted and agreed.
Chen Jun then jogged back and was about to open the passenger door and get in, but he was interrupted by Captain Wang before he could even open the door.
"Oh, it's so inconvenient to chat in the front. You have to tilt your neck to talk. Come, sit in the back."
While Captain Wang was speaking, he also took action and personally helped Chen Jun open the side door, meaning that Chen Jun could get on the car from here.
The back seat is the boss's seat in society and the leader's seat in the military.
The fact that Chen Jun could enjoy such treatment proved that he had completely conquered Captain Wang and was treated as one of his own, with no distinction between them.
After all, Wang Tuan is not an easygoing person, he still has a temper and tone.
Chen Jun, who was cordially invited by Captain Wang, did not hesitate. He closed the door quickly, walked to the back, and sat next to Captain Wang.
"Chen Jun, has the division commander decided which regiment the combined battalion will be placed in? Or will it become a unit directly under the division?"
Chen Jun had just sat down in the back seat and the driver had just restarted the car when Captain Wang couldn't wait to ask the question that concerned him most.
If the combined battalion ends up at the division headquarters or other regiments, it will have nothing to do with the 702nd Regiment.
Captain Wang has worked so hard for the synthetic company and has already enjoyed the fruits of the contract tactics. How could he bear to let this piece of meat slip away?
If Captain Wang gets any bad news from Chen Jun, he can rescue the situation in time.
"We haven't discussed where to place the combined battalion for the pilot project, and there is no way to determine it now, because the division commander still has to report to the group army, and it's hard to say whether it can be approved or not," Chen Jun said helplessly.
It is really frustrating to say that you have the ability and confidence to do something well, but the decision-making power is not in your hands.
"The military district will definitely approve it."
When Captain Wang heard that the pilot unit had not yet been determined, he felt much more relaxed and said confidently: "Now the whole army is talking about modernization, informatization, and reform.
The organization of the combined battalion is very modern and is the best model under informatization.
As long as the heads of the military region read your theory and know that you have the ability to establish a combined battalion, they will definitely agree and will not miss this opportunity.
If our army can be the first to establish a combined battalion, the leaders will be proud of it."
As Captain Wang finished speaking, he burst into laughter.
Regiment Commander Wang wants a combined battalion in his own regiment, the division commander wants a combined battalion in his own division, and the army commander will also want to be at the forefront of reform.
Different positions, same ideas.
Captain Wang was attracted by Chen Jun’s theory, and the division commander was excited after reading Chen Jun’s theory. Captain Wang did have enough reasons, and he was sure that the army commander would also fall.
Because there is a core here.
Everyone wants to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops and wants the motherland to have a stronger army.
"I also hope that the combined battalion can be put into operation earlier. One day earlier means we can be one step ahead, and one step ahead means we can be one step ahead at every step, which can snowball and accumulate huge advantages.
Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon.
As a soldier, I know that only when the motherland has a strong army can it protect the people, deter the villains from all directions, and prevent the country and the people from being bullied again. "
What Chen Jun said sounded a bit high-sounding, but it was his truest thought.
The embassy bombing in 1999...
The 2001 plane collision incident...
Thinking back on all the things that were about to happen, Chen Jun wished he could immediately start to power up his army and let the whole world know what a dragon was.
Let this never happen again.
Let tragedy never happen again.
"Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth lies only within the range of the cannon. Well, well, well said. It makes my old bones want to go into battle and kill the enemy."
Captain Wang was particularly touched by this sentence and said "good" several times excitedly.
Then he couldn't help but exclaimed: "I didn't expect that you are good at fighting and have outstanding military capabilities. It's no exaggeration to call you a genius.
In terms of literature, there is also such literary talent, which is much better than those staff members of the Youth League Propaganda Section.
When I get back, I must write it down and hang it on the wall of my office so that everyone can appreciate your literary talent, Deputy Company Commander Chen."
When you like something, the more you look at it, the more you will like it, and any shortcomings will become advantages.
In Captain Wang’s eyes, Chen Jun is just like this.
There are spots all over my body, almost to the point where even my farts smell good.
"Captain, I really didn't write this. I don't know where I saw it. I just happened to remember it, so I just said it casually."
These words were said by Professor Ai Lao Ai, and Chen Jun really couldn't take the responsibility and wanted to clarify it immediately.
The clearer the result, the greater the misunderstanding.
"Humble, you are too humble, haha."
Captain Wang confirmed that it was Chen Jun who said this, and then changed the subject, saying in a deep tone: "I came to the division headquarters for a meeting this time. I was under a lot of pressure. I feel much better after talking to you."
"Could it be... an official order for military reform?" Chen Jun asked speculatively.
"That's not it."
Captain Wang opened the window a little, took out a cigarette box and gave a cigarette to Chen Jun, but Chen Jun did not take it and shook his head to indicate that he did not want to smoke.
"It's better not to smoke. Unlike me, I want to smoke a cigarette when I'm upset. I feel bored if I don't smoke."
Captain Wang smiled, lit up the cigarette, took a puff and exhaled, then said, "In the old tanks, four people sat in one car, but now that they have been modified and replaced with new tanks, only three people are needed to complete the operation.
This is just one part, there are many more aspects that need to keep up with the times.
I’m afraid that after this military reform, many soldiers who have served in the army their entire lives will…”
Captain Wang paused here, put the cigarette in his mouth and took a puff, his eyes staring at the barracks retreating outside the car, his brows squeezed into a "川" shape.
Military reform is an inevitable trend.
The existing military command system is destined to be streamlined, with information technology replacing the current manual labor and more work being completed by computers.
If computers are used to complete the task, fewer people will be needed.
As a large number of high-tech weapons enter the army and the army's mechanization level becomes higher and higher, the number of basic infantry will inevitably be reduced.
These are things that no one can change and are destined to happen.
Chen Jun knew that the military reform would be officially implemented throughout the army in 1998, and in this wave, a total of 500,000 people would be laid off.
This is an army of 500,000...
The force is really fierce!
However, in order to realize comprehensive informatization of the military, it is impossible to do so without strong efforts.
As a time traveler, what Chen Jun can do is to save as many people as possible with foresight, so that China's military can enter the era of combined forces earlier and faster.
Nothing else to ask for!
……
On the way back with the team leader, Chen Jun and Team Leader Wang didn't talk much.
However, Captain Wang was called to a meeting in the division, and the next military reform matters have begun to be discussed, which is probably a warm-up for the major military reform.
Before every policy is officially implemented, all the preliminary work is very complicated.
After preheating.
Next comes the formal notification, which is also the last procedure before the order is issued.
After completing his training, Chen Jun returned to the 7th Steel Company. Nothing happened in the following month. Basically, he just trained and slept.
Until mid-October.
The soldiers had just finished the festive National Day holiday and were still immersed in the feeling of being on holiday. However, the military reform that had been hanging over their heads for almost two years fell just when everyone was most relaxed.
All the commanders of the regimental units of the T Division received meeting notices from the division headquarters.
"Here he is after all!"
Captain Wang realized what was happening. He stood by the window, looking into the distance and smoking. He did not move for a long time, but he could not suppress the sadness in his heart.
