Chapter 309 The biggest regret of the security company

Chapter 309 The biggest regret of the security company

The maintenance platoon's problem was finally solved, and combined with the big problem of the cooking platoon that was solved earlier, the company commander Xu Zhiqiang's pressure was reduced by half.

He looked so depressed when he first met Chen Jun, but now he looked a little more relaxed.

I have enough confidence in the next two rows.

Chen Jun spent a lot of energy to solve the big problem in the maintenance team. In addition, it was already late that day, so he did not continue working.

After a night of rest and recovery, I came to the health row the next morning.

The army is a small collective society, and it is relatively detached from society and has few connections with social institutions.

Can be in life training.

Various injuries are inevitable.

Serious illnesses are sent to field hospitals and military hospitals, while minor injuries and pains have to be dealt with by oneself.

As the exclusive "hospital" of the 7th Steel Battalion, the medical platoon is responsible for the normal training of all the soldiers in the battalion in peacetime and for the life guarantee of all the soldiers in the battalion in wartime.

If ordinary troops were like the 7th Steel Battalion, they would maintain high-intensity training for ten hours a day.

Then the injuries caused by high-intensity training will definitely become the most troublesome thing for the 7th Steel Battalion. The work intensity of the medical platoon is definitely higher than that of the maintenance platoon.

Fortunately, the training plan that Chen Jun came up with, although it was the first time it appeared in this era, was all Chen Jun’s personal creation.

But in fact, it is not a new thing that has just come out. It still needs time and improvement in the training field.

New things are bound to have little problems.

The ones Chen Jun brought out were from later generations. After more than ten or twenty years of use, all the shortcomings had been identified and corrected. The training plans were very mature in all aspects and had almost no shortcomings.

A sufficiently mature and scientific training program can avoid the occurrence of training accidents to the greatest extent, ensure the training results of the soldiers, and protect their bodies to the greatest extent.

In other words, Chen Jun's training program is too awesome. There are very few accidents during the soldiers' training, and the intensity is high while they are under control at their physical limits.

Soldiers will not be injured due to excessive intensity due to lack of understanding of specific values.

Under this high-intensity training rhythm, the medical platoon, which should have been as tired as the original cooking squad, actually had the easiest work in the entire company.

Not to mention serious injuries that require emergency treatment, even minor injuries that bleed and require stitches are rare.

Basically, they are all common minor ailments such as sprains and bruises, as well as toothaches, colds, heat strokes, etc. caused by personal physical conditions.

This has left several military doctors who graduated from medical universities and are professional doctors without a place to use their skills.

Even if you have great talent, you can’t use it!
The work intensity of the medical platoon is very low, the mental state of the medical staff and military doctors is very good, and the operating order of all aspects of the entire platoon is very stable.

Chen Jun himself is not professional in the medical field and cannot provide any professional advice.

The only thing I could do was to call the head of the sanitation team over and give him some instructions before leaving.

He should not relax or slack off just because there is less work to do. Training and war are completely different concepts. In wartime, the medical platoon has to support a battalion, and it is a super-reinforced battalion. The responsibility is very arduous.

The medical platoon must use actual combat as its standard and, while ensuring the training of the entire battalion, must also actively carry out training to improve its support capabilities as much as possible.

And he also left a sentence -

After the one-year intensive training program is completed, all units in the battalion will undergo a round of assessment, and the medical platoon will be assessed based on temporary standards.

If the sanitation platoon fails to pass the assessment, the platoon leader in charge will pack up and leave.

The platoon leader of the sanitation team, who had been feeling a bit lazy because his work was relatively easy, was startled when he heard these words.

He was afraid that Chen Jun would know that he had been negligent in the training of the medical platoon recently.

He quickly made various assurances to Chen Jun and signed a military order himself, stating that if he failed the assessment, he would simply take off his clothes and retire and go home.

Chen Jun's punishment was simply to be transferred from the 7th Steel Battalion, and the platoon leader was directly transferred to civilian work after signing a military order.

have to say.

I was really scared and really angry.

And it was very smart of him to do so. After all, with the current status of the 7th Steel Battalion in the entire army, as long as he can stay in the 7th Steel Battalion, his future will be limitless.

But if you are "driven away" due to lack of ability, it is basically a death sentence.

No matter which unit you join, you will have no chance.

Maybe after serving as a platoon leader, he will also have to change his career.

Since the future outcome will be the same if I don't do my job well, I might as well just issue a military order as a condition. At least I can win Chen Jun's favor.

If he could make Chen Jun remember him as the platoon leader, it would give him an opportunity for the future.

With Chen Jun's extremely high popularity and his current unparalleled momentum in the entire army, if Chen Jun noticed and promoted him, not to mention a meteoric rise in the future, there would be basically no pressure for him to get promoted to the regimental level.

"Okay, you're quite courageous. Keep working hard and don't let me down."

Chen Jun really admired the platoon leader's courage and patted his shoulder with satisfaction. Just this one action stimulated the platoon leader so much that he felt like he had been injected with chicken blood. His face turned red and he was extremely excited.

Snapped a salute.

He opened his voice and shouted in a resounding voice: "Yes, I promise to complete the task."

……

The finishing work in the sanitation row was very easy. It could be said to be the easiest place since the finishing inspection. I only said a few words of encouragement and the work was completed perfectly.

But when it came to the last engineering platoon of the logistics company, things became a little tricky again.

It’s not that it’s not enough.

Instead, it has become a bit useless.

The engineering platoon originally had fifty people, and later expanded with twenty more, bringing the total number to seventy, which was already a considerable size.

It’s equivalent to half an engineering company!
In a motorized infantry battalion, an infantry battalion, or even a semi-mechanized infantry battalion, an engineering platoon of seventy people is more than enough.

However, the size of the 7th Steel Battalion is as large as eight companies, with a larger number of people than the two regular battalions.

Based on this scale, we need at least an engineering company.

One engineering platoon is not enough.

Not to mention that the 7th Steel Battalion is an assault combined battalion. Its combat style focuses on speed, so it is destined to fight fast.

Although the engineering platoon is equipped with a large number of engineering equipment, there are also many large engineering machines.

Paving roads, removing obstacles, building bridges...

Waiting for it to be completed.

However, because they only used conventional engineering equipment, which was similar to that used by outside engineering teams, there were no professional mechanized engineering equipment.

For example, the military later developed a kind of specialized military engineering vehicle with a mechanized armored chassis that can run at a speed of dozens of kilometers. When arriving at a place, you only need to press a few buttons and the mechanical arm will unfold to pave the road and build a bridge. There is no such special military pontoon bridge vehicle, only conventional excavators, bulldozers and other vehicles.

It was simply unable to meet the combat requirements of the 7th Steel Battalion during rapid assault operations, and it was even difficult to keep up with the marching pace of the 7th Steel Battalion.

Logistical forces that have no way to keep up with the main force will gain no benefit in terms of combat effectiveness.

To make an analogy:

The attack force of the 7th Steel Battalion was advancing rapidly in the direction of the enemy at a uniform speed of 40 kilometers per hour. However, three hours after setting out, they were blocked by a river.

The engineering equipment of the engineering platoon was too heavy to keep up, and even at its fastest it could only run 20 kilometers.

Three hours means being sixty kilometers behind. The attacking force needs to wait by the river for three hours before the engineering platoon can catch up.

Not to mention that it would take time for the engineering platoon to build the bridge, and it would take several hours to complete.

After all this trouble.

No matter how strong the attacking force of the 7th Steel Battalion was, or how fast they arrived, all the time would be wasted if they waited by the river for several hours.

The so-called fully mechanized assault combined battalion is not much different in speed from motorized troops.

The 7th Steel Battalion, which took a lot of effort and resources to build, has a combat speed similar to that of ordinary troops. Doesn't that mean everything was in vain?

If the attacking force of the 7th Steel Battalion changes its route, it may take a detour via a route with bridges or without rivers.

Wouldn’t the engineering platoon then become a mere decoration?
The engineering platoon had lost its role in paving roads and building bridges, and the only things it could do were basic tasks such as minesweeping and laying mines, and maintaining camp facilities.

But these basic tasks can also be done by infantrymen. If the engineering platoon can only do these, it would be better to withdraw it directly, which can also save staffing.

Or you can turn the engineering platoon into an infantry company. Seventy armored infantrymen are a considerable combat force.

"If the troops now have the kind of professional pontoon bridge vehicles that will be available in a dozen years, then the engineering platoon at that time will be a real engineering platoon, but now... hey~"

Even though Chen Jun had a thousand thoughts in his mind, he could only end it with a sigh.

The engineering platoon is too restricted by specialized equipment, and specialized equipment puts too much pressure on the country's heavy industry, so it is really difficult to resolve the issue in a short period of time.

"Forget it, let's just use the engineering platoon to make up the numbers for now. When we get to the combined forces regiment in the future, we must set up a pontoon bridge battalion. That way we can be the strongest combined forces battalion."

Chen Jun finally made a decision in his mind and did not make any drastic changes to the engineering platoon.

It is similar to the previous medical platoon, except that they are urged to conduct training, and the focus is on strengthening mine clearance, mine laying, obstacle clearing and other related training.

There is only one purpose for this arrangement.

That is to say, treat the engineering platoon as pure minelayers. As long as they are trained well enough in mine laying and mine clearance, the engineering platoon can also play a certain value on the battlefield, and will not become a pure decoration.

Chen Jun has participated in a large number of confrontation exercises. He knows better than anyone how disgusting minefields are. If used correctly, they can even have miraculous effects.

If all seventy people in the engineering platoon could master minelaying, they could really become a trump card for the 7th Steel Battalion.

……

The inspection of the engineering platoon has been completed, and the detailed repair work of the logistics company has also come to an end.

Chen Jun originally thought that while there was still some time, he would go to one of the remaining companies to get to know them first, so that he could officially start the refinement work tomorrow.

As a result, just when Chen Jun was about to leave, the company commander Xu Zhiqiang started complaining to Chen Jun again.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, there is one more thing I need to tell you. It is quite important. I hope you can help our company think of a solution."

Xu Zhiqiang hesitated as he spoke, with a hint of nervousness on his face, although he mustered up the courage to speak.

Chen Jun saw that his expression was not right and realized that it must be no small matter, so he said simply: "Captain Fang, I came to the company this time to solve problems, no matter how big or small the problem is, I will solve it.

Don't worry about anything, just tell me what's going on."

With Chen Jun's affirmative answer, Xu Zhiqiang felt more courageous, sorted out his thoughts, and then said carefully: "Deputy Battalion Commander, let me make it clear first, it's not that I, Xu Zhiqiang, can't endure hardships, nor that other cadres in our company are incapable of keeping up.

The main reason is that the logistics company has too much work to do, no, it should be said that it is too diverse, and there are too many people, more than 300 people.

But there are only three company cadres in our company, and the instructor is mainly responsible for political work.

There are more than thirty squads in the five platoons in total, and all aspects of the work have to be presided over by the deputy company commander and me, which is really a bit too much to take care of.

Even though the instructors are here to help, the main work has become military, and they can only barely cope with it. "

Speaking of which.

Xu Zhiqiang played the victim again, pointing at his two big dark circles under his eyes and said: "Look at my eyes, the dark circles have lasted for several months.

I am not afraid of hardship. For the sake of the combined battalion, I would be willing to die at my post.

But in this tiring working state, if something goes wrong and affects our Seventh Steel Battalion, that would be a big deal.”

Xu Zhiqiang is worthy of being a person working in logistics. His emotional intelligence is much higher than that of ordinary company commanders.

This statement not only showed his attitude, but also explained the seriousness of the matter, and also added various hints and made emotional excuses.

Not only did he explain the matter clearly, but he also shirked the blame for his own incompetence.

Chen Jun frowned.

Because Chen Jun had never thought about it before, his mind was only on the training work of the grassroots company, and he ignored the command of the leadership for a while.

Other conventional companies are fine, as the mature company mechanism will not cause any problems.

But the logistics company is completely different. More than 300 people are under the charge of two military officers, which is really a bit too much.

Under the current intensive training format of the 7th Steel Battalion, all the companies under it are working around the clock.

The support company responsible for logistics must also be working around the clock.

Unless both of them have supernatural powers, they really won't be able to handle it.

After all, every work transfer in the company, every storage and unloading of materials, and the implementation of every training session require the approval of the company commander or deputy company commander.

"Well, this problem of your company is indeed a big problem. It must be solved as soon as possible."

Chen Jun also realized the problem. Although he could have the final say on the transformation of the troops below, changes in the company headquarters could not be decided by one person.

The battalion headquarters must hold a battalion party committee meeting to discuss and make the final decision.

So after confirming the problem, Chen Jun did not make a decision immediately.

Instead, he replied, "How about this, Captain Xu, I'll go back to the battalion commander and organize a meeting at the battalion headquarters to discuss a feasible plan as soon as possible. What do you think?"

"Okay, thank you, Deputy Battalion Commander, for your support of our work."

Seeing that the biggest problem finally had a solution, Captain Xu was finally relieved. He believed that Chen Jun would give an answer soon.
