They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 219 Appropriateness is the truth, unkind Wuying
The atmosphere in the conference room gradually became tense. Although several company commanders who had just arrived were skeptical about the staff's arrangements.

But I have to admit it.

It is far easier for a company to be responsible for a single combat mission than to coordinate with multiple arms, and they will be more comfortable leading them.

What's more, the combined battalion has never had a strict unified organization of troops. Although it is now a heavy-armed combined brigade, a light-armed combined brigade, and a mixed compound brigade, the distribution is very clear.

But in the beginning, a long time ago, the combined battalion of an armored brigade usually consisted of three to four tank companies, plus two to three armored infantry companies, as well as artillery, engineers, and support logistics.

It is still the same arrangement now, but the interweaving and integration is more natural.

Including the combined battalion formed by the mechanized infantry brigade that year, the organization was changed to three or four armored infantry companies and two to three tank companies. The arrangements for artillery, engineers and support personnel were also different.

It doesn't matter how the synthesis camp is synthesized.

What matters is whether the battalion commander can enable the troops to achieve the expected combat effectiveness.

If a combined battalion of the same size as an organic battalion is brought to the battlefield, can it easily destroy a regiment before the military reform?

Even in the early days, it was common for a combined battalion to destroy a red side mechanized infantry brigade on the exercise battlefield.

Regarding the establishment of the fifth battalion, several company commanders here are still very confident, because in addition to the common establishment, a helicopter squadron has been added, which not only has the ability to conduct air raids, but can also be used in combat at a certain scale. There is no need to call for fire support from other units.

Coupled with the special reconnaissance team, this is equivalent to a mobile fully intelligent drone or a mobile electronic countermeasures team.

It can easily break the limit of the combined battalion's combat range of only forty kilometers.

In response to their inner doubts, several company commanders chose to remain silent. They had a new unit and a new place, and they did not want to cause trouble.

People have a very common thinking, that is, if they raise a problem, they must find a way to solve it. Let alone them, this combined battalion of more than 1000 people can't solve it even if they bring over the former regiment commander before the military reform.

Keeping silent is the best option.

Da. Da. Da. Da.
After Chen Ming assigned the tasks, he leaned back on his chair and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the conference table, waiting for others to ask questions.

He is in no hurry.

If the new unit wants to cooperate sincerely and win over dozens of commanders, it is not that easy.

When there is a problem, raising it is the beginning of a unit's true unity. How could Chen Ming not be aware of the tasks assigned by himself? Such a configuration is too single.

It imitates the previous model of armored regiments, tank regiments, and anti-aircraft artillery regiments, each fighting their own way.

Battalion Commander Du Longfei was sitting there, also waiting. When someone raised a question, the meeting was delayed for five or six minutes. Seeing that all the company commanders, instructors, and deputy companies were studying the distribution of weapons, no one seemed to want to mention it.

Du Longfei shook his head and said: "Since everyone has no objections to Staff Chen's proposal, let's adjourn the meeting. After returning, each company will distribute the equipment as soon as possible."

"Then write a summary report and give it to me."

"Dismiss."

Since you don't want to talk about it, let them write it in the report. In short, if you don't mention your concerns, the follow-up cooperation will not be very good.

Just when everyone stood up and prepared to leave, Ma Hongjie, commander of the armored infantry company, gritted his teeth, stood up and shouted loudly: "Report, battalion commander, Staff Officer Chen, I have some doubts."

"Speak." Du Longfei looked at Ma Hongjie.

"Yes, I don't mean to question Staff Chen's arrangement. I just feel that when our fifth battalion has to apply for a designation for this kind of single combat mission, the commander must come to check and accept it. If the commander raises this issue, we will be very passive."

"Synthesis, the emphasis is on synthesis. If you invest in training according to the current organization, it will not be easy to change it later."

"That's all my questions."

"Sit down." Du Longfei waved and looked at Chen Ming. At this time, it was time to propose the policy of simulated combat and the arrangements for the Jingwu Lecture Hall.

Chen Ming nodded slightly and glanced at all the officers in the conference room. He saw that they all stopped what they were doing and seemed to listen attentively from time to time. It was obvious that the question raised by Ma Hongjie was what all of them were worried about.

After thinking briefly for a moment, Chen Ming said with a smile: "You should have raised this question a long time ago, which made me wait for so long."

"Haha." Several officers responded with a smile.

"Let me start with what I reported yesterday about the arrangements of the 169th Battalion made by the head of the [-]th Brigade."

"The King's Brigade requested that the fifth battalion should begin to take shape within three months and be completed within one year."

"In view of the current situation of our fifth battalion, to what extent do you think this initial scale should reach to meet the above requirements?"

"This"

A group of officers in the conference room were asked.

It is beginning to take shape, so it must at least have combat capabilities, a complete organization, and be able to fight, right?

But in the current fifth battalion, more than 80.00% of the people have no idea at all how the combined battalion fights or how to arrange the combined tactics. Thousands of people went from knowing nothing to having little success in three months. almost impossible.

This is not a problem that can be solved by going all the way. This is the organization and integration of the troops. Three months is too short. It is only enough time for a local youth to transform into a private soldier. How can the fifth battalion have more than 1000 people? What about the scale of the people's march?

Seeing the uncertain expressions of some people, Chen Ming smiled and said, "Do you think this task is difficult?"

"Don't worry, it's alright."

"With the development of science and technology, new combat forces such as army aviation, electronic countermeasures, and drones are becoming more and more popular. You should not focus on the establishment of other combined battalions."

"If the above needs a one-to-one copy, then why go to all the trouble to strengthen the amphibious synthetic battalion?"

"Let's think about this problem differently. From the beginning, we will follow the model of other combined battalions, start from scratch, and train step by step. Today's allocation will be to arrange professional units and interweaving of arms."

"I can arrange it, no problem, but can you lead it? Can you lead this kind of interleaved company when almost everyone in the company doesn't understand synthesis?"

"Do you have time to explore and adjust?"

"Let me give you a simple example." Chen Ming glanced across the conference room and finally stopped at a company commander in the corner.

"Tank company."

"Here." He Pin, the commander of the tank company sitting in the corner, stood up and responded.

"If I now arrange for your tank company to form a howitzer squad, a recoilless gun platoon, an anti-aircraft machine gun platoon, an engineer platoon, a communications platoon, a chemical defense squad, a flamethrower squad and a logistics team, can you lead such a tank company? "

"These formations are easy to arrange. It just requires existing units, engineering detachments, and artillery batteries to intersperse with each other, and allocate a dozen more arms to your company. In less than 10 minutes, I can make your tanks The company is organized exactly the same as other tank companies in the combined battalion."

"But the question is, can you take it?"

"I..." He Pin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a guilty conscience. He didn't dare to guarantee this thing.

In addition to the original configuration, the tank company also has an infantry detachment. Now if so many arms are added and integrated together, he will not eat or drink, and his hair will be dry. It is unclear whether the whole company can be straightened out.

Fighting is not as simple as placing building blocks, and leading a team is not as simple as building a castle. He has no confidence.

"Report, I may have some difficulties for the time being." He Pin considered it again and again, and carefully put forward his point of view.

This is equivalent to him admitting his own shortcomings.

After hearing this, Chen Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, sit down. I won't list examples one by one."

"Everyone should be very clear about the current situation, right?"

"We have enough people, enough cadres, enough weapons, equipment, and sophisticated technology. The only thing we lack is experience."

"If I strictly follow the establishment of other synthetic battalions today and rigidly copy our fifth battalion, do you know how big of a problem we will face next?"

"To put it simply, once we adopt the same model as other combined camps, we will be in a mess when we get to the training ground. We will not be able to use the combined power, nor can we use single firepower. Isn't it worth the gain?"

"Our cadres here have experience in synthetic tactics, but they don't yet have the experience to accurately lead a fire company. Regarding the configuration, you don't have to worry. The commander above has not given clear instructions." "Then we will do it according to the instructions." Based on the actual situation, the simpler the better, and everything that needs to be organized is included. It is indispensable for large combat units, and that’s enough.”

"If you are too idealistic and compare it with the synthetic battalion that has already formed an organic scale, all the units that should be incorporated and those that should not be incorporated will only affect the effective development of the operation and will only It can bring us a burden."

"As for how to proceed in the later stage, this is my problem and the staff's problem. All you have to do is to straighten out the company you lead within a month and form a certain combat effectiveness."

"Three months have passed by in a blink of an eye. We must first secure the fifth battalion and then start a bold move. The most important thing is to have combat effectiveness first. If we cannot guarantee even these, then three months later, when the chief comes to inspect, I'm afraid We will disband without hesitation.”

“We don’t need to report our difficulties and the hardships of our formation process to anyone, because the superiors only look at the results.”

"If you are satisfied, then everyone deserves the hard work and credit."

"If you are not satisfied, no matter what you say, it will be nonsense. No one will look through the failure ending and the layers of stereotypes to see our efforts and difficulties. That is just idealization."

"The chief will not pay attention to these things, nor will he ask these questions, just like you will not understand a soldier who works hard every day, but always lags behind, a soldier who drags down your entire company's performance all day long, you will have the leisure to discover his pragmatic qualities. What’s the essence?”

"For the same reason, in the fifth battalion, our only way is to succeed first and then consider the establishment."

"So, you all understand, right?"

"clear!!!"

All company commanders and instructors in the conference room responded in unison.

There is really no doubt now. Just now they only looked at the problem from the standpoint of experience, but did not pay attention to the problem of their own abilities.

Appropriateness is the most beneficial development path.

Success first, then seek establishment. Chen Ming's theory has completely convinced them.

In the following meeting, Chen Ming explained the simulation system of the command terminal in detail, and also established a synthetic warfare discussion group and the implementation requirements of Jingwu Lecture Hall.

It can be said that a group of officers in the conference room are very motivated, have ideas, and have goals. They are not afraid even if the progress is slow, but they are afraid of blind instructions from the people above.

It is obvious that as the chief staff officer, Chen Ming has been very comprehensively prepared for the current situation and future development of the Fifth Battalion. No one knows better than him what to do now.

Plans represent confidence.

The meeting probably lasted for nearly three hours before it was finally adjourned.

Battalion Commander Du Longfei stretched and looked at the commanders and soldiers of each company leaving with excitement as they took their missions. He looked at Chen Ming with a smile: "Having you here really saves my worries."

"If not, with today's arrangement, if Lao Zhang and I go to study it, it will take at least ten days and a half to have this effect."

"By the way, Lao Chen, if you have any other plans, just tell me and I'll apply."

"Hey, don't tell me, it's true." Chen Ming smiled, took a sip of the tea that the clerk had just brought to moisten his throat, and said: "Batalion Commander, you go to the brigade finance department this afternoon and see if we can How much ammunition has been approved?"

"It would be best if some of the training ammunition and live ammunition used in the exercise are approved and the staff is arranged. Then you can't just rely on words. You still need to practice what should be practiced."

"Talking on paper is ultimately inferior. Iron-blooded troops are trained on the battlefield."

"Also, the command terminal can be completed in three days at most. With the structure and the connection between all tanks, five days is enough. During this time, we will start training."

"It's better to prepare ammunition in advance."

"Haha, what did I think it was? It's simple." Du Longfei laughed and said: "You don't even need to go to the finance department. We don't even have a serial number, and we won't get our share if we go. We can just go to the chief to apply."

"Anyway, we have no designation or organization. All the ammunition approved during the training period will be shared with the other four combined battalions. They will use the resources that should belong to them to train our soldiers. There is no more cost-effective deal than this. .”

"That's okay, just apply for more." Chen Ming also smiled unkindly.

There is no way to be kind.

The Army Group will not open up the amount of ammunition just because the 169th Brigade formed a new unit. The fifth battalion is so large that a few days of training is enough for a month of training for light synthetic battalions such as the third and fourth battalions.

The first and second battalions are heavy-duty combined battalions, and their ammunition losses are relatively large. However, in order to give priority to the fifth battalion, they have to tighten their belts to live.

Of course, during the establishment of the Fifth Battalion, not only the four synthetic battalions were struggling to survive, but the artillery battalion and air defense battalion directly under the 169th Brigade all had to save resources and expenses to supply the Fifth Battalion.

They will not complain, let alone come to their door, because the current Fifth Battalion is a huge sponge that needs a lot of water. Who comes to cry and complain, Chen Ming and the others are short of officers and lack of backbones, what should they do?
To give or not to give?
Therefore, as long as they don't come to "catch young men", those units can enjoy themselves secretly.

There is no need to worry about resource issues.

Not only ammunition, but also to ensure that the formation of the fifth battalion can be smoothly established, the team retention quota and the promotion quota will also be transferred from other units.

At least it is guaranteed that during this year's retirement season, no one from the fifth battalion will retire. There are as many targets as cabbage for first-class soldiers and for second-class soldiers and for third-class soldiers. Everything is for the smooth formation.

Avoid leaving too many people and damaging the foundation of the fifth camp.

The so-called green light all the way is these benefits. It's not really like what I said above. You get what you ask for. It's not that good.

after the meeting.

When Chen Ming arrived at the camp, it was already afternoon. He saw that people from the Joint Logistics Department were beautifying the camp headquarters, arranging flower beds and painting slogans.

Even the red flag began to wave high in the sky.

Chen Ming took a deep breath. He has always disliked the small-scale combat model. Commanding hundreds of thousands of people to fight is his goal.

It's almost there now.

But this was far from enough. Chen Ming only felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, because the fifth battalion did not have its own designation, code name, or camp flag.

In the entire camp, except for the waving red flags, there was not even a single flag that could prove the existence of the fifth battalion or represent the fifth battalion.

Without these, his military rank, position, and everything he possesses are all empty.

Even if a former comrade comes over or contacts him, Chen Ming doesn't know how to introduce his unit to others.

Of course, these are not all pressures, they are also endless motivation.

The preliminary preparation work has basically come to an end, and time passes little by little.

Soon came a week later.

In this week, Broiler and the others lived up to expectations and completed the construction of the entire fifth battalion command system, and all members of the simulated combat command system were in place.

In the past few days, I had nothing to do, so I recruited dozens of people from the special reconnaissance team to start training. The training method of Long Ya's people was very simple, and there was no difficulty in teaching.

All based on their own strength, they taught the people of the special reconnaissance team and led them to conduct electronic countermeasures. Initially, two people fought against more than 60 people. They won repeated battles and successfully destroyed the defense command system established by the special reconnaissance personnel.

Later, the special reconnaissance team gradually gained experience in confrontation. Occasionally, they could block a wave, but when the four of Broiler Chicken, Gray Pigeon, Hanging Horse, and Hua Order came on the field together, they could still easily destroy the defense.

Chen Ming was not in a hurry. He had no intention of allowing the Special Investigation Team to truly draw a tie with the Fire Knife Team. That would be too embarrassing.

As long as the special reconnaissance team's comprehensive strength exceeds that of other combined battalions and is not easily interfered by opponents on the battlefield, then there will be no problem.

During this period, whenever he had free time, Chen Ming would visit various companies.

Look at the familiar situation of the company below them and prepare for a field exercise based on the current assignment.

Practicing without fighting is of no use.

Just fighting without practicing means there is no room for improvement.

What's more, hundreds of combat examples have been stored in the simulated combat system, and it's time to use them.
