Chapter 331: Goal, defeat "Zhu Rihe"!
Chen Deming naturally knew very well what was going on in the combined battalion.
Either a combined forces brigade or a combined forces regiment.
The current military reform is focusing on the transformation of divisions into brigades. The template of the Zhurihe base is the two-level system of battalions and brigades. Chen Deming believes that the probability of the 7th Steel Battalion following the military policy and moving up to the route of a combined brigade is very high.
However, the transformation of divisions into brigades is still in the pilot stage and has not yet been fully popularized at the grassroots level.
The unit where the 7th Steel Battalion is located still has a three-level system of division, regiment and battalion. If the 7th Steel Battalion is expanded and upgraded at this stage, it will most likely follow the overall structure of the unit.
Even if combined brigades are the trend of the future, they may first take the route of combined regiments.
However, no matter whether it is a combined brigade or a combined regiment, since Chen Jun can lead the army's number one Steel Seventh Battalion, he may be able to lead an excellent combined regiment or brigade.
Chen Deming personally prefers the combined brigade!
If Chen Jun could lead a combined brigade to counter the First Blue Army Brigade in Zhurihe, Chen Deming would be looking forward to that scene.
For a leader of Chen Deming's level, it would not be of much value for him to take the lead in setting up a combined brigade, and there is no way for him to be promoted to the next level.
However, if the combined brigade he took the lead in establishing can be stronger than the Blue Army Brigade in Zhurihe, the added value such as fame and reputation generated will be very meaningful to Chen Deming.
The closer one is to the top of the pyramid, the more one cares about these face-oriented things.
Chen Jun has studied psychology and has been in the army for several lifetimes, so he has a thorough understanding of the army leaders.
It is very clear what kind of synthetic regiment plan will make Chief Chen Deming appreciate it more.
Therefore, when introducing the composite group plan, several modifications were made specifically for Chen Deming based on the original plan.
First, we talked about the current development advantages of the 7th Steel Battalion and the bottlenecks and limitations it has encountered.
It then introduces the areas where further upgrades and renovations are needed to resolve these limitations, pointing out that the battalion-level organization is simply not enough.
Finally, he gave Chen Deming a detailed introduction to Chen Jun’s various ideas and designs for the synthetic regiment.
This model takes the most basic needs as the starting point, progresses step by step, and finally launches the synthetic group model.
Not only does it sound very comfortable, but there is also nothing wrong with its logic.
Because there is a need.
That's why we need a synthesis group.
The reason why Chen Jun recommended the combined regiment was not because Zhurihe already had a combined brigade, but because he wanted to use the 702nd Regiment as the basis.
The method of reforming a regiment is not that complicated. The ready-made regiment-level organization is there and there is no need to reapply for it, so combat effectiveness can be formed in a faster time.
Secondly, the 702nd Regiment is their own old unit, so Chen Jun would naturally help if he could.
If the plan for a combined regiment can really be implemented, the current staff of the Seventh Steel Battalion will naturally be upgraded to regimental-level cadres.
As the long-time commander of the T Division, Comrade Wang Qingrui will definitely be able to reach the division headquarters smoothly.
He has to leave, he needs to give up his position.
With such great achievements in leading the combined regiment, Wang Qingrui's position in the division would probably be very high. He would at least start as a powerful deputy division commander.
In the original plot, Wang Qingrui is an old cadre whom Chen Jun admires very much.
I feel even more sorry for his situation.
When the military plot just started in the original story, Wang Qingrui was already the commander of the 702nd Regiment.
Later, Xu Sanduo was promoted to a non-commissioned officer, and Gao Cheng was transferred to the reconnaissance battalion directly under the division as deputy battalion commander, until the end of the TV series.
The time span in between is more than five years, and almost everyone is making progress towards this level.
Only Wang Qingrui is still the old leader.
It is a pity that a person who worked diligently as the team leader and tried hard to develop Team 702 has to be the team leader for a long time just because of his straightforward personality and his tendency to offend people.
If Chen Jun could change the life of this old man from the 702nd Regiment through his own way in this life, then Chen Jun would basically have no regrets.
There is only one thing to do in the remaining time - to lead the 7th Steel Company forward.
……
After Chen Jun was reborn into this world, he wrote countless plans and theories along the way, and his writing skills have become very strong.
In addition, some special elements were added specifically based on Chen Deming's personal character.
When Chen Deming finished listening to Chen Jun's plan, his originally ordinary eyes suddenly lit up and his face turned red with excitement.
Chen Jun’s synthetic regiment structure is so perfect, at least in Chen Deming’s opinion.
He couldn't even imagine how strong the combat effectiveness of the synthetic regiment created by Chen Jun's plan would be. Zhuri and the Blue Army Brigade might not be enough.
He thought that if he took the lead in the preparation, he would eventually build a team that responded to the call of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with combat effectiveness far surpassing the First Blue Army Brigade of Zhurihe, and its hard power became the strongest information-based and digitalized force in the entire army.
Chen Deming has been immersed in the military for decades, and his heart, which had long been as calm as a rock, could not help but ripple. There was a rare burning sensation in his eyes.
For a leader at Chen Deming's level, the only way to climb up is by standing in line and gaining reputation in the army.
Leading the creation of the strongest information-based force in the entire army, and following the hottest track in the new era, Chen Deming's reputation in the military will surely increase significantly.
On the premise that this would be of great help to me, I also liked Chen Jun more and more.
Chen Deming made a decision quickly.
I didn't deliberately practice Tai Chi with Chen Jun because of any concerns or worries, or because I felt that the implementation would be difficult, and I said I would think about it for a while.
Instead, he chose the most direct face-to-face approach, looked Chen Jun in the eye seriously and asked, "I only have one question for you. If I ask you to be responsible for the preparation and establishment of a synthetic regiment, do you have enough confidence to do it?"
"Commander, I can guarantee it with my future. If I don't do it, even if I don't do it well, I will take off my uniform and leave."
Chen Jun's every word is as valuable as gold and his attitude is firm and decisive.
If an ordinary person offered his future as a guarantee, Chen Deming would not be interested.
But Chen Jun is different.
He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel at the age of 25 and became the deputy battalion commander at the battalion level. He was awarded many first, second and third class merits and his future was bright.
As long as he doesn't make any major mistakes in principle, he will definitely become a military district-level leader in the future.
For someone with such monstrous talent and potential, the military order he issued at the cost of his own future was of great significance, enough to make Chen Deming look at him differently.
"Okay, I like your confidence."
Chen Deming's tense face melted away like snow. He raised his eyebrows and smiled and asked again, "How long will it take to form combat effectiveness after all the personnel and equipment are in place? Is two years enough?"
Chen Jun smiled and shook his head.
"Why? Two years is not enough. That's right. It takes time for a regiment to become combat-ready."
The smile on Chen Deming's face disappeared, and a hint of regret and helplessness flashed across his face.
But then his eyes turned 180 degrees, emitting a competitive light that was not common in a 60-year-old man, and he said in a resolute tone: "But the situation is special now. Since we want to form a synthetic regiment, we must rush ahead of Zhurihe and form initial combat effectiveness before its synthetic brigade.
Either don't do it, or do it to the best of your ability. This is my idea, my expectation of you, and my strict requirement for you. "Said.
Chen Deming held up three fingers and said, "Three years. I will give you three years at most. This is the bottom line. If you exceed that, I will hold you accountable."
"As expected of the commander of the war zone, your access to information is incomparable to us."
Chen Jun was secretly amazed.
Because in Chen Jun’s memory of his previous life, the Zhurihe base was officially opened to the public in August 2003.
That means that from this time on, it can be pushed back to about half a year at most.
That is, from the beginning of 2003 to August, Zhurihe's First Blue Army Brigade completed comprehensive acceptance and possessed preliminary brigade-level combat capabilities.
Zhurihe cannot be fully opened to the outside world until the Blue Army Brigade has formed combat effectiveness.
Now that it is open, it means we can play.
The three-year deadline given by Chen Deming is pushed back from the second half of 1999, which is exactly the end of 2002.
This means that it is just one or two months ahead of the combined forces brigade to complete the formation of combat effectiveness of combined forces above the battalion level.
Wen has no first, Wu has no second.
The value of the first one in forming combat effectiveness is far from comparable to the second one. The first one will always have an absolute position in the army.
The fact that Chen Deming could accurately block Zhurihe proves that he had obtained Zhurihe's information.
This is the channel information capability.
It's awesome enough.
With someone with such powerful channels taking the lead, Chen Jun no longer had any worries and suddenly became more confident in forming a synthetic group.
He looked directly into Chen Deming's eyes, raised the corners of his mouth and said with absolute confidence: "Commander, when I shook my head, I didn't mean that two years is not enough. I meant that I don't need two years at all."
“Ah? Ah??”
Chen Deming was stunned for a moment.
It’s not that Chen Deming is in his sixties and old and his thinking is not so good, it’s really that what Chen Jun said was too outrageous.
It takes at least two or three years to form a regular heavy armored regiment and train it to become combat-ready.
The larger the size of a unit, the more troops it controls. In addition to basic training for each unit, companies also need to coordinate and work together.
Not only do companies need to be coordinated, but battalions also need to be coordinated.
Various running-in and coordination work is different from basic training.
This requires a lot of training and time to hone in. Although skills can increase the speed of running-in, they cannot change its essence.
There is no quick shortcut except to continuously integrate combat power over time.
This is true for conventional heavy armored regiments, not to mention combined regiments that integrate multiple arms, have more complex coordinated training, and have more varied tactics.
According to conventional logic.
The training of the composite regiment will only become more complicated and require more time to run in.
But things changed completely when it came to Chen Jun. The more difficult tasks only took a shorter time. How could Chen Deming not have a brain crash?
Chen Deming was stunned for several seconds. After coming to his senses, he did not dare to check confidently and said, "Are you serious? I don't like to joke at this time."
"Commander, how dare I joke with you."
Chen Jun looked very serious and solemnly assured again: "I don't need two years, just give me one and a half years will be enough."
Taking the initiative to shorten the time is not for showing off.
But there are reasons enough.
A year and a half later, in early 2001, Chen Jun had become very experienced in leading troops, and the time was more than enough for him.
And according to the plan Chen Jun had in his mind, the first generation of small drones would be developed by then.
When small drones are equipped to the synthetic regiment, and Chen Jun has a lot of small drone tactics in his mind, there is also an integrated tactical system of "reconnaissance, control, strike and evaluation".
It is easy to form initial combat effectiveness.
"Well, well, well, it's true that heroes emerge young."
Chen Deming had been staring at Chen Jun's eyes. All he saw in Chen Jun's eyes was confidence, without any arrogance at all.
I don’t know whether it was out of Chen Jun’s confidence or he was following his inner intuition.
Chen Deming made his decision and said, "Okay, let's do as you said. I'll give you a year and a half. I hope you won't disappoint me, and I hope you won't disappoint the trust that the theater has placed in you.
You just leave this plan here. I will hold a meeting in the military district to discuss it as soon as possible and finalize the synthetic regiment project as soon as possible.
When you go back, just wait for news and be ready to cooperate with me at any time."
Chen Deming has made the final promise, and Chen Jun also believes that with his level as deputy commander of the theater, it is no problem for him to set up a synthetic regiment.
So he stood up happily, raised his hand and saluted, and replied in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Thank you for your trust, Chief. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
"I believe you can do it."
Chen Deming patted Chen Jun on the shoulder as an encouragement to him, then said with a smile: "It's getting late, go back and rest."
"Yes, Chief."
Chen Jun saluted again, feeling extremely excited.
It is a big step from a combined battalion to a combined regiment. As long as we can take this step, the final combined division will almost be a natural outcome.
So Chen Jun has been under a lot of pressure, worried that this step will be very difficult.
Unexpectedly, things were much simpler than imagined.
There happened to be a full-army confrontation exercise, and luckily I met Chen Deming in the war zone, and I easily persuaded Chen Deming to take the lead.
The whole process was so smooth and fluid that it made Chen Jun feel like he was dreaming.
The matter was finally done, how could Chen Jun not be excited.
On the way out of Chen Deming's office, Chen Jun's heart was still beating rapidly, and he felt like it was a dream that everything was going smoothly.
"The most critical application for the combined regiment is being led by Chen Deming from the theater. It will probably take some time for the official preparation order to come down. I can really use it to do some big things."
Chen Jun returned to the dormitory and lay on the bed, his excitement calming down a little.
One by one, things related to the formation of the synthetic group that had to be completed as soon as possible gradually came to mind, and I couldn't help but start planning.
