Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1280 Command
Why did the Eighth Route Army reject the military rank system at this time? When the military rank system was implemented, the soldiers would naturally ask questions:
"Military rank? What is it, why do you want this?"

"It's just like the stubborn army, calling you captain, major or something!"

"What? Isn't this the same as the stubborn army? Isn't this a class and special treatment?"

……

When Wang Shuheng came to find Wang Xuexin, he said this: "Commander, I didn't understand the use of this rank for a long time. You should talk about command. Isn't it good for our division, brigade, regiment and battalion company to come down like this? Our Eighth Route Army I haven’t been awarded a military rank for many years, isn’t it possible to win battles? The stubborn army has held a military rank for so many years, it sounds majestic, and it’s always the general of this school, isn’t it just let the devils beat it to a mess?”

Wang Shuheng thought that he would definitely win this "protest" because "facts speak louder than words" and what he put forward are all facts.

But I didn't expect Wang Xuexin to let him break through with just a few words.

"Comrade Wang Shuheng!" Wang Xuexin handed Wang Shuheng a glass of water... It is very common for superiors to pass water to subordinates in the Eighth Route Army. This is also a manifestation of the Eighth Route Army's emphasis on equality between officers and soldiers. The two are basically equal.

"In the past, we didn't have any military rank!" Wang Xuexin continued: "It's true that the commander of the division, brigade and battalion has no problem in commanding like this, but have you ever thought that this has a lot to do with the familiarity between the commanders of the army and the soldiers? Soldiers When fighting, they know who their company commander, platoon leader, and even squad leader are, and they know who to listen to, and even after the commander dies, they can immediately find a suitable replacement!"

"Then..." Wang Shuheng asked puzzledly: "Why can't the airborne troops do it? Do you have to use the rank?"

Wang Xuexin smiled and replied: "The airborne troops use planes to scatter troops into the enemy's airspace. Do you stand on the ground as you jump from the sky? When the wind blows, the troops all disperse in disarray. It is normal to not find generals and soldiers!"

When Wang Xuexin said this about Wang Shuheng, he understood a little bit, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong: "Leader, our regiment only has more than 2000 members. Don't worry, we will be familiar with each other in a few days!"

Wang Xuexin chuckled, and replied: "Let's talk about familiar faces first. It's no problem for more than 2000 people to get familiar with each other for a few days. They train, eat, and sleep together every day when they look down. Is it counted in order from battalion commander, company commander, platoon leader, to squad leader?"

When Wang Xuexin asked Wang Shuheng, he was dumbfounded.

It is definitely no problem to remember the head of the group, there is only one head in the whole group.

The battalion commander is also very relaxed, there are only three or five battalion commanders in a regiment.

The company commander is not a big problem, there are at most twenty company commanders in the whole regiment.

But at the level of platoon leader, the problem becomes serious, and there are dozens of platoon leaders.

The squad leader just...

Moreover, if you want to determine who is in command on the battlefield, you should memorize these military positions from major to minor, and every soldier must memorize them.

If there is a personnel transfer, such as a certain commander being promoted, a certain commander is transferred, demoted, or withdrawn, it must be recorded in due course.

Do we need to train or fight?
It is enough to memorize these every day!
But Wang Shuheng was still not reconciled, he said: "Regimental Commander, then we only need to report our respective military ranks, isn't it all right? My platoon leader, his squad leader, there is a company commander, listen to the company commander..."

Wang Xuexin explained with a smile: "If a battle breaks out, there will be guns and cannons, and you will all get together to play tricks, and ask each of you about your military position first?"

Wang Shuheng felt the same when he thought about it. The battle of the airborne troops started almost as soon as they touched the ground or even before they touched the ground.

In this tense state, the soldiers are all busy fighting, and they probably don't have time to get together and communicate with each other... And this is not a question of whether there is communication with each other, but a question of needing timely and continuous communication.

For example, when a group of soldiers are fighting the enemy nervously, a platoon leader shouts: "I am the platoon leader, comrades follow my command!"

Another shout came from the corner on the other side: "I am the company commander, comrades follow my command!"

Then every time they meet a team of comrades, even if there is only one or two, the soldiers have to ask about their military positions first... No one can guarantee that there will be a battalion commander who can command them.

Therefore, everyone has to report to each other for their military ranks, and then decide who will command.

And there is a thing called "words without proof", who knows if there will be a devil's mainland advance team among them, if he calls out that I am the battalion commander... Do all the soldiers have to obey his command?
But the implementation of the military rank system is much simpler, and the size of the military rank is clear at a glance.

The problem of the Guizi Continental Advancement Team still exists, but it is no longer enough to just call the last sentence. The Guizi must first obtain the military uniform of the corresponding military rank, and in addition to have military officer certificates and other things to prove their identity. The difficulty of this disguise is obviously higher than Much bigger.

Wang Xuexin saw that Wang Shuheng understood the importance of military rank, so he took advantage of the heat and said, "So, Comrade Wang Shuheng, you should understand how we will train next, right?"

"Understood!" Wang Shuheng stood up and replied: "Implement the military rank system and let the soldiers learn and be familiar with the ranks!"

Wang Xuexin raised his head, and then asked: "What else?"

"And..." Wang Shuheng was dumbfounded by Wang Xuexin's question, what else could there be?
But after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood, and immediately stood up and said: "Understood, disrupt the organization and start various tactical training!"

Wang Xuexin nodded in satisfaction. Wang Shuheng is not slow to respond, and he is a suitable candidate for the team leader.

What the airborne troops want is speed of reaction, what they want is fast, otherwise they will be surrounded by devils and unable to move and fall into a hard fight.

As for why the organization training was disrupted...

Needless to say, one of the differences between the airborne troops and other troops is that other troops can maintain their formation and go into battle, and even after several battles, they can maintain their formation without chaos, because these troops are led by the battalion commander. Leading the company commander, the company commander leading the platoon leader... one by one brought their own soldiers into battle.

The airborne troops are different. When they land on both feet, they are a chaotic organization. It is almost impossible for the soldiers to find their original squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander and fight under their command.

Therefore, soldiers should get used to this point during normal training: there is no fixed company and platoon leader to command them to fight, they depend on their rank, and as long as their rank is higher than theirs, they will unswervingly follow his orders to fight.

Of course, this requires grassroots commanders to have a fairly high level of command and military quality.
