Chapter 595 Organization Reform
The vice-chancellor broke the silence.

After adjusting his sitting position slightly, the vice president coughed twice, and then said with a smile, "Today we are at a discussion meeting. Everyone can say whatever they think. Don't be restrained, speak freely, and have a fierce ideological collision. There is a debate. What a good thing!”

The leader of Mobu immediately picked up the conversation and said, "That's right, let's brainstorm and let everyone speak freely without any burden."

The words of the two big guys set the tone for this discussion. You can talk about whatever you want. Everyone knows that in this kind of low-level discussion, even if you say something wrong, there will be no problem.On the contrary, it is easier to hear the truth in such low-level discussions because there are fewer worries.

"I think this comrade's speech is very good. Well, I suggest that you ask this comrade to continue speaking and guide everyone." The chairman of the motorcycle brigade said with a smile and looked at the vice president. And leadership, there is the meaning of consultation.

The vice president immediately nodded slightly and pointed at Li Mu: "Li Mu, please continue."

The vice-dean has his own thoughts in mind. Before there is a clear decision from above, some words are inappropriate for him. But if the students say it, even bad things will become good things.Regarding the reform of the army's establishment, as a senior teacher of the army's intermediate commander training college, the deputy dean actually has a lot of experience after studying it for so many years.

Among so many students, Li Mu's views were closest to his, so he singled out Li Mu and asked him to speak first. He wanted to make the discussion smell of gunpowder and have a real discussion with practical content instead of a formal discussion. s things.

That day was November 11, and this discussion was also called the 18 Discussion by the participants. Most of the grassroots cadres who participated in the meeting later became pragmatic young officers who firmly promoted organizational reform.

Undoubtedly, Li Mu, the focus of the field at this time, began to be recognized and remembered by more people.

Li Mu sorted out his thoughts for a while and continued, "Thank you, sir. What I want to talk about can be roughly divided into two points. The first is the issue of weapons and equipment. The second is the issue of troop establishment. Let's talk about the first point."

"The unit I served in before was an airborne battalion of a certain brigade. Seeking truth from facts, I will talk based on the reform and construction of the airborne battalion. As you all know, we are building an air assault force. This concept has existed for a long time. The actual troop construction But it is proceeding very slowly. The main problem, or the biggest hardware deficiency, is the weaponry. To be precise, the development of helicopters cannot keep up."

"Since the import of the civilian version of the Black Hawk helicopter from the Northern Federation in the 80s, our military has been exposed to the world's advanced helicopters. Later, it successively introduced the Dolphin helicopter and the Hornet helicopter from France. For some reasons, our country is introducing foreign trap helicopter technology. It has been greatly hindered, so that until now, the main helicopters of the three armed forces are domestic models developed based on the Lanxi Dolphin and Hornet. They are the K9 and K8 that we are familiar with. After the normalization of Sino-Russian relations, large-scale introductions began The Mi-17 series helicopters are mainly equipped with the Army Aviation Force. They are general-purpose helicopters we use now. I will not talk about the issue of installing helicopters in detail here. In summary, neither K9 nor K8 are suitable for equipping air assault troops. More importantly, the design ideas of these two models are from the 70s, which are far behind today's combat ideas and cannot meet the needs of reality, let alone future combat needs."

"Therefore, until the new attack helicopters and utility helicopters come out, the construction of our army's air assault force will continue to develop slowly. Of course, new helicopters are intensifying research and development, and new attack helicopters are already undergoing intensive test flights. But there are One issue must be taken seriously. Even if it is just to equip one air assault battalion, it will require at least thirty helicopters. In other words, according to the current establishment scale of the Army Aviation, in fact, one Army Aviation brigade can barely satisfy one air assault battalion. combat needs.”

After a pause, Li Mu picked up the water on the table and took a sip. Then he took the microphone and continued to speak calmly, "I will not talk about other related issues here. I will only express my personal views on the troop establishment. Air Assault I believe everyone is familiar with the combat method of the army. Simply put, the air assault force uses the characteristics of helicopters to launch continuous leapfrog attack tactics. Please note that the leapfrog attack tactics we practiced before are not air assaults in the true sense. Now all the airborne battalions of our army do not have real air assault capabilities. Real air assault is continuous and runs through the entire campaign, which means that the air assault troops must have independent combat support capabilities and intelligence acquisition capabilities. capabilities, complete command and control capabilities. From this point of view, all helicopter models in service with the Army Aviation Force, IMHO, are not suitable models. First of all, the reconnaissance models, attack models, etc. developed based on the K9, Because of the model design, they are not professional functional helicopters. The Mi-17 series is a product of Lao Maozi in the 60s. Although our military industry has made substantial improvements, still in the same sentence, it has lagged behind by several degrees in design. Ten years, no matter how you change it, it will not be able to adapt to the requirements of combat missions in the new era."

Everyone listened attentively, and the more they listened, the calmer they became. Knowing in their hearts and directly putting these issues on the table for discussion are two completely different things.

Li Mu's words did not show any mercy, and every word hit the weakness of the army, especially the equipment of the army aviation unit.

After a slight pause to give everyone time to digest, Li Mu continued, "The second aspect is the troop organization. In my opinion, if the weapons and equipment are guns in the hand, then the troop organization is A flesh-and-blood torso. Our infantry unit organization is still the same as before, with independent training and management of the arms. Infantry is one thing, artillery is another, and even those equipped with heavy machine guns are independently formed into a machine gun company. This organization method is already very We are lagging behind. What this aspect of the problem requires is a strong determination to carry out a major operation on the organization, and the resistance is the traditional combat thinking. I personally believe that the research and development of weapons and equipment must respect the characteristics of scientific research, so the reform of the organization method mainly relies on The will of man. Breaking the current organization method. In the case of infantry battalions, machine gun companies and artillery companies do not need to exist independently. They are all organized into infantry companies according to warrior groups, and chemical defense engineers and ground artillery are added to form a true combat company. .”

"The advantage of the current establishment is that it facilitates daily management, especially logistics support. If they are all broken up to form a highly integrated combat company with multiple arms, and management and training are all together, it will inevitably increase the pressure on logistics support. However, now our logistics The support capability has been greatly improved, and this road must be taken sooner or later. Therefore, I believe that no matter how difficult it is, it must be implemented. Before new weapons and equipment are put into service, the troop establishment must first be completed, especially the ground part. Establishment reform.”

Wei Wei glanced at the leaders on the podium and found that they had no intention of letting him stop. Li Mu thought for a moment and continued...
