Chapter 239: Being too clever by oneself, you stirred up a hornet's nest!
The five companies of the combined battalion moved into the base, and over the next three days, coordinating non-commissioned officers from other regiments of the T Division took up their positions one after another.
All of them are excellent non-commissioned officers with outstanding physical fitness and professional ability.
Chen Jun worked with several logistics staff officers of the combined battalion to assign the transferred non-commissioned officers according to their specialties and fill them into various companies of the combined battalion.
At exactly five o'clock in the afternoon on June 30th, all coordinators were in place and assigned to their respective companies.
The second phase of the establishment of the combined battalion has now been officially and successfully completed. Every part is flawless and it is definitely a model for the establishment of troops.
The best performer in the second stage was undoubtedly Chen Jun.
If Chen Jun had not accurately grasped human nature, penetrated the most urgent needs of the army cadres, and captured the regiment cadres with a big promise, the second stage would have been a mess.
Through the second phase of work, Chen Jun also demonstrated his efficient and reliable work efficiency and ability to the military division leaders who paid attention to him.
Presumably, in the eyes of his superiors, Chen Jun's value must have soared again.
The time came to July 1st.
On this sacred day of the Party's Founding Day, the opening ceremony of the third phase of the most important training for the pilot combined battalion was grandly opened.
This stay was even more grand than the last one, and the leadership level was taken to a higher level.
With high-ranking officers in charge, the opening ceremony went smoothly without any surprises, and it kicked off with a grand ceremony with the expected speech from the leader.
There is a common phenomenon in China, which can be simply described as the first three things a new official does upon taking office.
The translation means literally.
When a new head of a unit comes to power, in order to intimidate those below him, quickly gain control of the overall situation, and demonstrate his authority, he will first deliberately create three troublesome things and then deal with them with absolute authority.
Take this opportunity of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys and burn away all dissatisfaction and resistance towards him.
Let everyone know who is the real boss in this place. Now that I have come to this place, who should you listen to?
Sun Dongping seems to be well aware of this!
He knew that the combined battalion was established by the 702nd Regiment, and if he airdropped in to reap the benefits, he would inevitably be resisted by the entire 702nd Regiment.
The main framework of the 702nd Regiment is composed entirely of senior members of the 702nd Regiment.
If he cannot calm everyone down and make them obey, then it will be extremely difficult for him to carry out his future work in the combined battalion.
There are two ways to solve the problem: using strength and communication, and using high-pressure tactics to intimidate.
Due to his personality, Sun Dongping chose the latter.
Moreover, Sun Dongping knew which people in the 702nd Regiment, especially in the newly formed combined battalion, could be used to start the fire and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys in the best way.
If you want to kill, pick the biggest one.
If you want to roast something, pick the best one.
As long as he can get rid of the most difficult one, he will be the most powerful one here and will definitely scare the little Luo Luo below.
This is what Sun Dongping thought.
There are two people who meet his target conditions. They are Gao Cheng, who has just been promoted to deputy battalion commander, and Chen Jun, who has successfully built a combined company.
The former Gao Cheng has a very deep background, so we dare not touch him.
Can only give up.
The latter has no background in the military and only has a pair of parents who are businessmen in society. The influence of businessmen on the military is very small, so there is no need to worry at all.
In addition, Chen Jun's military rank and position were relatively low, and his reputation in the 702nd Regiment was very high.
Sun Dongping naturally thought that as long as Chen Jun could be convinced, the others would not dare to make any moves even if they had some ideas.
Sun Dongping thought there was nothing wrong with this idea, and he started making trouble on the second day of training.
First of all, in order to undermine Chen Jun’s power position and make everyone realize that Chen Jun’s words are useless here, he is the person with the most say in the combined battalion.
The first fire that Sun Dongping started was to stop the construction of the special operations platoon camp and training ground.
There are three reasons given:
The first is what he had said a long time ago, denying the value of special operations in battalion-level combat, believing that it was completely superfluous and meaningless redundant configuration.
The special investigation company already has a reconnaissance squad, which is sufficient to meet combat needs.
Sun Dongping did study abroad, but he didn't learn much.
At present, the combined forces battalions in foreign countries are not complete yet and are also in the exploratory stage. Even in the 21st century, they are still not perfect.
It just means that we are ahead of the country during this period, but it is far from being the correct answer.
It is common sense that the local landscape supports the local people. Sun Dongping simply copied the combined forces of foreign countries without considering the attributes and needs of the troops.
This starting point itself is problematic.
Not to mention that what he learned from abroad is actually limited by the times.
At this time, the development concept of foreign combined forces is only the concept of the 1990s, and the tactics are only applicable to the present era.
There is simply no comparison between Chen Jun's ideas from the 21st century.
They have completely failed to understand that on future battlefields, the combined forces battalion will become an independent combat unit and will be able to complete various configurations based on mission requirements.
Not all combined arms battalions are the same!
It is not possible to create a fully applicable combined battalion that is suitable for all combat environments by using only one combined battalion template.
The combined battalion also needs to carry out detailed division of labor to make its combat attributes more diversified.
For example, a heavy combined battalion equipped with all tanks and heavy artillery, a mountain combined battalion with coordinated infantry and tanks, an assault combined battalion with integrated air-to-ground capabilities, and so on.
As for the type of troops like the 702nd Regiment, they have no shortage of armored tanks and artillery units.
As a combined battalion that is part of the 702nd Regiment, the combat missions he needs to undertake have to be flexible.
When building the combined battalion, Chen Jun had given full consideration to the fact that the advantage of the armored infantry regiment lies in frontal combat, which means that it is the most powerful in frontal assault warfare.
But the battlefield of the future will not be a traditional war at all, where tanks fight against each other on the battlefield.
Even for troops that focus on frontal attacks, if they want to adapt to the diverse and changing war dynamics in the future, they need to develop diverse tactical styles.
There are more tactics in play, it can adapt to more battlefields, and the arms are more adjustable.
That equals greater adaptability.
It can make combat more powerful.
The armored infantry division is already the strongest on the ground. The only possibility to enhance its diversity is to start from the air.
Based on this rigid requirement, the assault combined battalion is the most appropriate answer.
As a combined assault battalion that focuses on speed, air-ground integration is an inevitable core skill. Airborne is not an ordinary combat skill, it is an extremely dangerous skill that requires long-term training, and not all soldiers can practice it.
Coupled with the uniqueness and danger of skydiving, ordinary troops simply cannot afford it.
Only troops that are specially trained can perfectly undertake air-to-ground combat missions and maximize the combat effectiveness of the combined battalion.
In addition, they also need to complete reconnaissance and other tasks, so even the paratroopers cannot fully cope with them.
That's why Chen Jun thought of building a high-tech special operations force in the combined battalion to maximize the combat effectiveness of the combined battalion.
of course.
The pilot synthetic battalion structure created by Chen Jun may become unique and cannot be replicated. After all, no one can be like Chen Jun, with such exaggerated ability as Chen Jun, to set up a special operations force in a battalion.
But as long as the assault combined battalion created by Chen Jun can be successfully completed in the pilot acceptance, it can be supplemented into a complete organization in the future.
Then the assault combined battalion created by Chen Jun can become a template in this field in China.
Even if we cannot build a special operations platoon in the future, we can transfer people from the airborne troops and have them take on the same tasks after corresponding training.
The combat effectiveness may be slightly reduced, but it is definitely sufficient in horizontal comparison.
Sun Dongping's so-called redundancy and waste can only be attributed to his narrow-minded thinking. He does not understand Chen Jun's layout at all and makes decisions based on his personal imagination.
Sun Dongping’s second reason for attacking the special operations platoon was that the military expenditure of the combined battalion was very tight.
With the current limited military spending, there is absolutely no need to waste so many resources on it. It would be better to save them and use them on other cutting-edge areas.
That sounds reasonable.
In fact, it's full of loopholes.
The third reason focuses on the division of contradictions and questions whether Chen Jun is making special arrangements for a minority of people.
They claim that they are all soldiers from the same battalion and are all working hard to build a combined battalion, so why should the special operations platoon have its own independent camp?
In Sun Dongping's opinion, they should be treated equally and given the same treatment as the soldiers of the Seventh Company.
The reason is to deliberately create conflicts so that other members of the combined battalion will exclude the privileges of the special operations platoon, and thus extend to having a different opinion of Chen Jun.
In this way, we can hit Chen Jun's influence!
Sun Dongping repeatedly said that it was because of the combination of the above three subjective and objective reasons that he decided to stop the construction of the special operations platoon camp. This was an adjustment based on the overall situation and was not due to any personal reasons.
As soon as Sun Dongping issued this order, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire camp.
Even the group was alarmed!
Everyone knows that Sun Dongping wants to establish his authority, so he will definitely do something at the beginning, and will also make certain arrangements against his opponent Chen Jun.
But no one expected that Sun Dongping would actually perform an aorta operation.
At the very beginning, the all-officer special operations platoon that Chen Jun had spent a lot of effort to build, which was already the signature feature of the combined battalion, was basically destroyed in one blow.
The camp dormitory we live in is not of high standards, but this is just enough.
Chen Jun had envisioned four people living in one room, but because the camp of the 7th Steel Company itself did not have enough dormitories, it was likely that more than ten people would share one dormitory.
It's almost becoming a big bunk bed.
It’s not that the soldiers in the special operations platoon are unable to endure hardships. As long as they can learn real special operations techniques, they can become stronger here.
Although sleeping on a large bunk bed may be a bit uncomfortable, it can definitely be overcome.
But without a dedicated special operations training ground, the special operations platoon trains with ordinary soldiers in ordinary training, which is like using a Rolls-Royce to run Didi.
It would be impossible to master special warfare techniques.
If it were really so easy to train a special forces soldier, without any special treatment or additional resources, wouldn't there be special forces soldiers everywhere?
This blow was too heavy!
The soldiers from other companies in the combined battalion were already unhappy and felt that Sun Dongping was really messing around. If he wanted to establish his authority, he could not cause trouble with the core of the combined battalion.
Everyone believes in the combined battalion organization written by Chen Jun, and adding the special operations platoon must have a great effect.
Now that it has been cut by a knife, its combat effectiveness will definitely be affected.
Everyone chooses to join a combined battalion and is proud of the honor of joining it because the combat effectiveness of combined forces is far higher than that of conventional forces.
Everyone can become stronger here, so I actively want to join here.
Now, Sun Dongping directly touched the foundation of the combined battalion for such a small matter, which would result in a decrease in combat effectiveness. The soldiers would definitely not be happy.
In addition, Sun Dongping was an outsider and had snatched the position of the second battalion commander of the 702nd Regiment. The officers and soldiers at all levels had a lot of emotions towards him.
Most of the officers and soldiers of the combined battalion began to be dissatisfied with Sun Dongping.
Sun Dongping didn't realize that his clever move of trying to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys had actually stirred up a hornet's nest, and the barrel of explosives was on the verge of ignition.
Even after Gao Cheng learned the news, he immediately went to find Sun Dongping to argue with him.
Why was the construction of the special operations platoon camp stopped? The funds for the construction came from the 702nd Regiment itself and would not affect the normal operation of the combined battalion.
As a result, Sun Dongping responded with something.
The funds were only temporarily advanced by the 702nd Regiment and would eventually have to be allocated by the army group. Wasting the army's money was a challenge to organizational discipline.
And in his capacity as battalion commander, he put pressure on Gao Cheng not to question his orders.
Gao Cheng is indeed a very proud person, but he is definitely not a person who disregards military law, nor is he a person who would use his background to oppress others.
Sun Dongping was determined not to give any face, and although Gao Cheng was very angry, there was nothing he could do.
Instructor Ma Tianxiang maintained his position as a political cadre in this matter, standing neutrally without favoring either side.
Only the chief of staff Man Guangzhi stood up and kindly suggested to Sun Dongping whether he could hold a meeting to discuss the issue.
Sun Dongping didn't even give face to Gao Cheng, and was determined to use this incident to completely suppress Chen Jun. Naturally, he would not give face to Man Guangzhi.
As for the commander and political commissar of the 702nd Regiment, it is really difficult to intervene at this time.
The formation of the combined battalion involved the involvement of the military region and had already been out of the actual control of the 702nd Regiment, so Commander Wang could not give direct orders.
In addition, as the legitimate battalion commander, Sun Dongping did have the authority to issue such an order.
When all persuasion from all sides proved futile, Sun Dongping's first move after taking office was successfully ignited, and it was directly directed at the core figure Chen Jun.
Sun Dongping was full of confidence before giving the order.
I think that killing the leader first, who has the most prestige, will be enough to intimidate the people below and let them know who is the king here.
And Chen Jun will definitely get angry and jump out to confront him.
This way you will fall into his trap.
