Chapter 195 was revised again, transforming into the Special Investigation Company!
When Chen Jun saw that Gao Cheng and Captain Wang were not optimistic about the proposed independent battalion model, he realized that there was a big misunderstanding in the thinking of both sides.
He immediately explained: "It is indeed unrealistic to add a new battalion to the existing 702nd Regiment, but that is not my idea.
What I mean by independence is to separate the combined battalion and reduce the size of the other three battalions from five companies to three companies. "
“Downsizing?”
When Captain Wang heard this new idea, he immediately became interested and hurriedly urged, "Come on, tell me in detail, how do you do it?"
Gao Cheng also found it very novel and listened with the same curiosity.
"My idea is this..."
Chen Jun organized his thoughts and said logically: "Our regiment has three battalions and sixteen companies, of which the Police Communications Company is a unit directly under the regiment, so let's ignore it for now.
First, let’s talk about the first battalion. My idea is to extract two tank companies, one light tank company and one heavy tank company, and put them into the organization of the combined battalion…”
"Two tank companies?"
Gao Cheng interrupted Chen Jun and asked in confusion: "Doesn't the combined battalion only have one tank company? How come there is another one?"
"My arrangement has its purpose. You will understand after you listen to me."
Chen Jun did not explain immediately, and continued: "There are still two heavy tank companies and one light tank company left in the first battalion, so it is still a tank battalion.
The overall combat effectiveness is definitely weaker, but its core function can be preserved.
Now let's talk about the Second Battalion. The combined battalion has become independent as a whole, and only the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Companies are left in the Second Battalion. All three are armored infantry companies, and the battalion's combat attributes can still be maintained.
Because of the lack of two armored infantry companies, the lost combat effectiveness can actually be made up from the newly built combined battalion, just like the tank battalion.
From the perspective of each individual battalion, the combat effectiveness is weakened, but from the perspective of the entire regiment, the strength is definitely improved..."
When Gao Cheng and Captain Wang heard this, they already had some idea of Chen Jun's thoughts and listened with even more interest.
Chen Jun continued to speak...
"The remaining three battalions are a little more complicated. The combined battalion needs an air defense company and an artillery company, but the combined battalion only has five companies, and we can't transfer two companies at the same time, so we can only make slight adjustments.
An air defense company will be transferred from the third battalion, and the logistics support company will be directly under the regiment. The support company will be directly commanded by the regiment. With the addition of a combined battalion, the support mission can be better completed.
The remaining two artillery companies and one anti-aircraft company naturally formed the new Firepower Battalion 3.
This way.
The 702nd Regiment was reorganized as a whole, becoming a three-three basic battalion company, plus two regiment-affiliated companies, and a completely independent synthetic battalion equivalent to an independent battalion.
The three-three system is the traditional model of our army. In this era when the combined battalion was just emerging, only a few troops such as the field troops adopted the fifth company of the first battalion.
Reducing the size of the regiment to a three-three system and adding a structure of independent battalions and direct companies is indeed very novel and in line with the current needs of the 702nd Regiment.
"Wonderful! So wonderful!"
After hearing this, Captain Wang's eyes lit up and he praised with satisfaction: "Chen Jun, it's you again. You have lived up to your reputation as a military genius. Haha."
"This idea is really unique. After such a reorganization, it can not only highlight the value of the combined battalion, but also not affect the strategic role of the other three battalions. They can even charge together with the combined battalion." Gao Cheng also commented.
"This is roughly how the 702nd Regiment will be adjusted. The rest is up to the combined battalion."
The previous suggestions were highly agreed upon, and Chen Jun became more confident. He continued, "After the regiment's adjustment, the combined battalion now has two light and heavy tank companies, an air defense company, a steel company 7, and an electronic warfare company.
It is obvious what these five companies are missing, that is, they are missing an engineer support company, lack an artillery output unit, and have an extra tank company.
In order to achieve the configuration required by the combined battalion, adjustments must be made from these five companies.
My idea is to change the light tank company, transfer all its soldiers to the air defense company, and convert them to artillery to form an artillery and air defense company.
Our regiment is a fully mechanized combat unit. The operating mode of the self-propelled artillery is actually similar to that of a light tank, but it requires more logistics personnel to assist. The main operating and control personnel are basically the same.
The gunners, drivers and commanders of the light tank company were transferred to the artillery company and given a certain amount of training time to familiarize themselves with the self-propelled artillery equipment, which was no problem at all.
The military district has agreed to pilot the combined battalion, which means it has agreed to the concept of an all-noncommissioned officer battalion.
Therefore, if we combine the two companies, the number of people will not exceed the standard, it may just be insufficient, and we will have to draw non-commissioned officers from other places to supplement it. "
Chen Jun had just proposed the reorganization model of the 33rd Battalion, and now all the tank soldiers are transferred to artillery.
What a big imagination, such active thinking.
Captain Wang and Gao Cheng had no choice but to admit defeat.
The most important thing is that Chen Jun’s conversion method is really feasible in practice, the conversion efficiency is very high and there is almost no difficulty.
The merger of two companies into one also effectively established an artillery and air defense company.
There is only one last question left...
"All the people in the light tank company have been transferred to the air defense company, so this company is completely empty. Is it necessary to keep it? Wouldn't that be a waste? It would be better to keep the light tank company and add another company." Gao Cheng wondered.
"Could it be that……"
Captain Wang thought of Chen Jun's idea: "You want to transform this vacated light tank company into an engineer support company?"
"Correct!"
Chen Jun nodded and said, "Every military reform foreshadows disarmament, and I'm afraid this time is the same. Under such a background, it may be difficult to increase the establishment.
Therefore, we can only make adjustments to the existing companies within the existing organization.
If the Sixth Company of Dagong could be turned into an electronic warfare company, why couldn't the Light Tank Company be turned into an engineer support company? Right, the higher-ups would not refuse.
I'm 100% sure.
As long as it can improve the combat effectiveness of the troops and is in line with the general background of informationization reform, any change will be supported by the higher authorities.”
The tank company was originally a company formed later and has no special honor or historical value.
In the context of military reform, changing it is like drinking water.
Nothing difficult.
"Reorganizing the light tank company into an engineering support company is indeed a very good idea. But it's just an empty shell. It's not easy to fill it with people, all of whom are non-commissioned officers." Gao Cheng frowned and looked worried.
"Didn't our superiors ask us to write a plan? We just need to write it. As for whether we can get enough people, that is something the superiors should consider, not us. Commander, do you think I'm right?" Chen Jun said with a sly smile.
"Hahaha, you clever little fellow."
Captain Wang was amused by Chen Jun's words and made a decision on the spot: "Okay, let's do this first. We don't care whether it will work or not, let's just finalize the plan first.
If there are any problems later and the above discussion results are not passed, it will not be too late for us to find a solution.
The plan for the combined battalion has been decided. Now, the only thing left is the construction of the combined battalion's camp. It's not just about the location of the camp, but also the design of the camp's barracks. The higher-ups have asked us to come up with a plan. Do you two have any ideas?"
As soon as Captain Wang finished speaking, Gao Cheng shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "I can't do that. I can't handle this kind of thing."
"What about you? Do you have a plan?"
Captain Wang seemed to know that Gao Cheng would not do that, and his eyes were always fixed on Chen Jun.
"I did make some preparations. I accepted a training mission from the division before. I took this opportunity to visit almost every company in the division. I did some research on the differences between artillery companies, tank companies, infantry companies, etc. I am quite confident."
Chen Jun first explained the source of his idea, and then said: "I have already written a design plan for how to build the camp of the synthetic battalion.
All it takes is professional civil engineers to make a detailed design based on my proposal, and it should be ready for use.”
"Good, you are far-sighted and prepared for the future. With you in charge of the combined battalion, I have saved a lot of trouble, haha." Captain Wang praised Chen Jun again.
It's impossible not to praise it.
No matter which boss encounters such a younger brother, he will not only do what you ask him to do, but also do it very well and prepare it in advance.
You will feel extra comfortable.
"Of course. Who is Lao Chen? He is one of the most talented people in our entire army. If he can't do it, then no one can do it."
Gao Cheng seldom praises others, let alone flatters them, but Chen Jun is one of them.
Gao Cheng was convinced that Chen Jun had stolen the limelight.
"Then there is only one last thing left, the location of the combined battalion's camp. Where do you think would be a good location near our regiment?"
Captain Wang first asked a question, and then said, "Why not set it up next to the regiment headquarters? It's closer and we can communicate better."
The regiment base is located in a wilderness far away from the city, and the surrounding area is indeed quite spacious.
The endless kind!!
Not to mention setting up a battalion, even a regiment would be fine.
"It's not impossible to be near the regiment headquarters. It will be more convenient to transport building materials in the future. It will also be more convenient for the leaders of the regiment and division to come and inspect our work."
Chen Jun agreed with Captain Wang’s proposal, but Gao Cheng expressed a different opinion.
"The combined battalion has five companies' barracks, plus daily training, so the area occupied is not small. I think we can have the whole regiment check out the area first to see if there is a more suitable one. It won't be too late to make a decision later."
"Yes, that's true. We still have enough time. We can conduct a comprehensive investigation of the entire group. If we find a more suitable one, that would be even better."
Chen Jun thought about it for a moment and felt that there was no need to rush.
"Okay, combined battalion, you are the actual person in charge, you have the final say."
Captain Wang is not the kind of person who brags about his abilities. He is a hands-off person when it comes to things he is not good at. He said neatly, "Then I'll leave this matter to you and Gao Cheng. You two should go around more during this time.
I'll give you two half a month. Give me your address after half a month. I'll organize the plan into a document and send it to the division for discussion."
"Roger that!"
"Make sure to complete the mission."
Chen Jun and Gao Cheng stood up at the same time and accepted the order.
……
The preparation for the combined battalion is a major event at present and cannot be left to any ambiguity.
So in the half month after returning from the group, Chen Jun and Gao Cheng really became map collectors, driving around all day long.
The time you put in is directly proportional to what you gain.
After half a month of collecting a lot of information and finally sorting it out for various planning, I found that the location next to the regiment headquarters was not the best.
In order to facilitate water collection for camp construction, water resources are relatively scarce in the Loess Plateau.
In addition, after the 7th Steel Company became part of the combined battalion, its combat mission also needed to be changed, and it had to be transformed from a combined company to a special reconnaissance company.
The special reconnaissance company "serves" the combined battalion. Its combat missions are not limited to reconnaissance, but also include assault infantry, combat behind enemy lines and other more complex and diverse tasks, which are infinitely close to the existence of special operations forces.
Therefore, the training ground requirements are also higher, requiring cliffs, water areas, etc.
Finally, the address was chosen about ten kilometers east of the regiment headquarters, where there was a natural small lake, which was more suitable than the area around the regiment headquarters.
The organization plan, barracks plan, camp site selection, etc. of the combined battalion have all been designed.
Captain Wang took the designed plans and ran to the division early the next morning and handed them over personally to the division commander who had been waiting.
The division commander gave high praise to Captain Wang for completing the task one month ahead of schedule.
A meeting was held in the afternoon of the same day, led by the division commander and the political commissar, to discuss the information and plans submitted by the 702nd Regiment.
The 702nd Regiment's three-three system plus the reorganization of the independent battalion, as well as the unique independent battalion organization design.
The leaders of the division were amazed!
This idea, which they had never thought of before, gave them an unprecedented sense of novelty and made the discussion at the meeting particularly heated.
Also, because the design is so perfect, there is basically nothing wrong with it.
The final discussion in the division went very smoothly. Apart from some minor issues, such as the concern that the standards for the all-noncommissioned officer camp were too high and might be difficult to implement, there were no other problems.
In the end, the division's seminar was passed unanimously and then sent to the military region on an urgent basis.
The teacher just discussed the plan and it was limited to discussion, which was equivalent to going through it once. As long as there were no major problems, it was fine.
To put it bluntly, it's just talk about it, there's no need to take any actual action, and there's not much pressure.
It’s different when you get to the military area.
The military region must not only confirm whether the plan is feasible, but also whether it has the ability to implement it and whether the personnel and materials are available.
Because once the military district approves the plan, it will have to invest real money to implement it.
In order to ensure that military funds are spent where they are needed and that the combined battalion project does not end in failure, the military district has a lot to consider.
In addition, corresponding docking work must be carried out with logistics, military supplies, equipment and other units.
The procedure is complicated.
It's not something that can be accomplished in three to five days.
Therefore, Chen Jun and Gao Cheng submitted the plan, and then entered an indefinite wait. No matter how anxious they were, they had no choice but to wait.
