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

Chapter 240: Great pilot opportunity, the original intention of establishing the fifth battalion

The ceremony was dismissed.

The team in front of the military parade quickly dispersed from the company-based unit to the squad-based unit.

Practice military posture with the veteran squad leader.

This is the first step for local youths to transform into soldiers. Chen Ming stared at the recruits who were training seriously in the audience, smiled, stretched out his hand to put away the military medal on his chest, and stuffed it into his pocket.

It feels okay to wear it during a ceremony, but after the ceremony, it seems too high-profile to carry it around with you.

After looking around, I think I have nothing to do here. It is not his turn to lead new recruits. The formation of the fifth battalion is equally important. The confrontation has just ended. This is a good time to train together.

Just as he was about to leave quietly, Chief of Staff Xu Wenqian called him from behind.

"Chen Ming."

"arrive."

"Don't leave in a hurry, I have something to tell you." Xu Wenqian took off the white gloves on his hands and threw them into the car next to him.

He took out two bottles of mineral water from the co-pilot and threw one to Chen Ming. He unscrewed the "ton ton ton ton ton" bottle and drank half of the bottle. It could be seen that the chief of staff who had just directed the training ceremony should be Been busy all morning.

The brigade commander didn't come, the political commissar didn't come, so the entire training center was left to the chief of staff to manage.

Recruit training is far more troublesome than that of the 169th Brigade. With thousands of new comrades, who knows what might happen.

After drinking more than half of the bottle of water, Xu Wenqian raised his hand and wiped his mouth regardless of the image, and pointed to the shooting range in the distance.

"Let's go for a walk over there."

"Yes."

Chen Ming set out to follow. Judging from the situation, the chief of staff must have something to tell him, and it was not like he was left to help lead the new recruits.

Even if he does stay, his stay for one or two days will have no real effect.

The two walked one behind the other for about 50 meters. Xu Wenqian said: "We fought against the First Battalion two days ago, and the Fifth Battalion performed quite well."

"Especially the first two games under your command, beyond my expectation, the joint military training of the three armed forces may be about to begin. After the new comrades' entry into the camp is properly arranged, it is very likely that they will directly enter the first level of combat readiness within the entire army."

"what's your plan?"

"Plan?!" Chen Ming was stunned. What does a large-scale military training have to do with his plan?
He can't decide whether to participate in the war, let alone the time when the major military training will start. Let alone him. At this scale, the group army doesn't have to say anything. It has to follow the instructions from above.

Xu Wenqian saw Chen Ming's doubts, but did not answer. Instead, he changed his mind and said: "Let's put it this way, do you know why the Fifth Battalion had to be reorganized after a failed formation, and carried out on a larger scale? strengthen."

"As a mixed brigade, the 169th Brigade's status in military operations is not clear. It is similar to a support force organization and is not as accurate as the light and heavy brigades."

"Under this general premise, five battalions need to be formed. Do you know why?"

"There is a gap in the establishment?" Chen Ming asked doubtfully.

"Although synthesis does not mandate whether there should be five or six combined battalions under the brigade-level establishment, judging from the scale of the thirteen group armies from the 71st Army in the Eastern Theater Command to the 83rd Army in the Central Theater Command, they are all There are six combined brigades under one corps.”

"Each combined brigade is a reduced group army. It is said that five combined battalions, or six, are most appropriate. Are four of us too few?"

"There are reasons for this." Xu Wenqian was noncommittal, "But it is not entirely true. Our country's military has undergone extensive transformation and adjustment during the past military reforms."

"The transformation of divisions into brigades is just one of them. This reform involves the army, navy, air force and armed police forces, allowing brigades to replace divisions and become one of the main establishments of the army. However, this does not mean that all division-level units have been abolished. .”

"Different arms have retained division-level establishments. This is also to reflect the flexibility of the reform and can be adjusted at any time according to battlefield needs."

"Well, I know that."

Chen Ming nodded. It is no secret that division-level units are retained. The four major combined divisions of the Xinjiang Military Region are affiliated to the Western Theater Command and are famous. The Tianshan Army, the Plateau Powerful Force, the Tianshan Iron Cavalry, etc. are all mentioned as the four major combined divisions.

As for the other division-level units of the army, they were all divided into the Kyoto garrison and served as the Imperial Guard. Those guard divisions that have been retained and are famous are not only powerful in field battles, but also in urban warfare.

Different from other group army arrangements, of course, the blue army of the 81st Army is not also a division-level unit.

However, there was no complete reorganization at that time, and it was not just for flexibility. All divisions were converted into brigades and combined, and there was not so much military expenditure to do it. If it was changed and combined was not changed, then the change would have no meaning.

But, what does this have to do with Wuying? ! ! !
Chen Ming became even more confused after hearing this.

Xu Wenqian chuckled, turned around and looked around, and whispered: "Now let's talk about the issue of the fifth battalion. In fact, there was a meeting above to discuss the proposal to strengthen the brigade to the division. Of course, it is not a comprehensive strengthening."

"It is about strengthening individual units of each group army. This is also a conclusion drawn from pilot exercises and actual combat experience of foreign military forces. Our target opponents are strengthening their synthetic forces on a large scale."

"Coupled with a lot of heavy equipment, brigade-level units have no way to maintain and support it. In order to cope with the situation, our 71st Army is likely to be regarded as the first pilot unit by the military headquarters."

"In other words, if we are used as a pilot, the 169th Brigade will bear the brunt because we are mixed and easy to move. We have few battalions under us, so it is easier to expand."

"The formation of the fifth battalion is an example. Also, if you didn't realize that the fifth battalion has just started this year, the brigades are actively arranging people. Even treasures like the helicopter squadron can come over if they want it. Don't you think it's strange? "

"It's quite strange." Chen Ming had to admit.

At first, he was wondering why the various units that usually asked for personal information to check Sosou suddenly became so generous this time.

Even if there is an order from the military, those units will still have to cry for poverty according to the procedures, search for a few days, and reluctantly arrange a few old oilmen to fill in the numbers.

This is consistent with convention and logic.

As a result, not only were the people sent very positive, but there were not many veterans, and most of them were good veterans, the kind who wanted to go back after a big military training.

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that everyone had guessed the intention above and specially contributed to the formation of the fifth battalion.

If you say this, then everything will be explained.

"Chief of Staff, is it safe to let us serve as a pilot unit and strengthen it to the division level?"

"It can't be that easy." Xu Wenqian said with a dumb smile: "This kind of plan can take as little as one or two years, or as long as three or five years of preparation. How can we say that it will be finalized?"

"This is just news that the war zone and the army group got inadvertently when they went to Kyoto to attend the annual meeting during the Chinese New Year last year. How do the people above think about it? If there is no clear policy, it will not be announced."

"However, it is normal to let the units below know some gossip and prepare in advance."

When it comes to the possibility that the 169th Brigade will be used as a pilot unit and fully strengthened to reach the division, Xu Wenqian is obviously much better than before.

No wonder.

Can the brigade level be compared with the division level?

Although the brigade commander and the brigade political commissar are basically the same as the chief officers of division-level units, they are both senior colonels, but one is the main division and the other is the deputy division.

Once it becomes a pilot unit, grassroots officers like Chen Ming may really soar in this change.

A large number of young officers have the opportunity to climb up the ranks.

Otherwise, according to the current establishment, even if Chen Ming performs well, he is already the chief staff officer of the fifth battalion. After applying for the designation, the military rank can be promoted to colonel, and there will basically be no change in ten years.

Even if he did, he would still have to work hard at a deputy battalion level position, and at most he could get to battalion commander or brigade deputy chief of staff.

When you reach the deputy regimental level of the main battalion, you basically have nothing to do. Maybe there will be no changes for more than ten years, and the final time will come to change jobs and go home.

Their young officers have opportunities, as do Xu Wenqian and Wang Junwei. In the original brigade-level establishment, it was a big hurdle for deputy division to become a full division.

There is still a huge chasm that cannot be crossed. It is more difficult than before to be promoted from the main division to the deputy army. After all, the number of personnel has been restricted and there is no way out.

But if it becomes a pilot unit, it will be different. Wang Junwei and the others will automatically be promoted to the full division level. The first pilot leader will always have some privileges.

As a talented person with the ability and experience to lead the synthesis division, it is impossible to remain in the original unit. It is only a matter of time before he is promoted.

If a group of people go up, there will be a group of people below who can lift them up.

It will not be like the army, brigade, and battalion establishment. All the division-level officers have gone to the army, and the deputy division-level officers serve as brigade commanders. The way forward for promotion is basically blocked.

This is indeed a major event, one that affects the 169th Brigade and the entire army.

After chatting for a long time, Chen Ming finally realized why the chief of staff had just asked him what his plans were.

It is nothing more than allowing myself to lead the fifth battalion to seize the opportunity of this joint military training and perform well.

After thinking about it, Chen Ming smiled and said: "Chief of Staff, you have gone in such a big circle, and you are just saying that if the fifth battalion is arranged to go to the training battlefield, you will perform well?"

"Needless to say, if I can go there, I will definitely fight hard and not hold back the 169th Brigade."

"At least the performance of the Fifth Battalion cannot change the thoughts above." "Haha, you misunderstood. I asked you to perform, but it does not mean that poor performance will affect the decision above."

"If it's so easy to influence, can this be called a plan?" Xu Wenqian clapped his hands and laughed.

He poured all the remaining mineral water into his mouth and continued: "Wang Brigade means that if the joint exercise of the three armed forces starts, your fifth battalion will also go to the battlefield."

"But one thing you have to be mentally prepared for is that you don't have a number, the director's department has not registered it, and they will not arrange a place for you."

"There will be no planned areas for attack."

"But this is also a good thing. If we fight a few beautiful battles, it is best to alert the joint command of the three services and let them find out which army is fighting."

"In this way, the fifth battalion will appear in front of the leader. You must understand that this time the joint command headquarters, which is the director's department, is guarded by people from the military headquarters."

"If you can show the ferocity of fighting in front of them, it will definitely cause a big stir, and it can also play a catalytic role in our 169th Brigade becoming a pilot unit."

"So, do you understand?"

"clear."

Chen Ming chuckled and said, "I understand very well."

It's just an information gap. If there is a staff, no matter how exciting the fight is, the director will get the news immediately, so there is nothing to be curious about.

On the other hand, the fifth battalion has no designation. Many troops will subconsciously ignore them even if they know they are on the battlefield. Who will always care about a newly formed combined battalion?

If the noise is too big and the director's department is alerted, and many established units are attacked inexplicably, then the director's department will definitely investigate.

There will even be a truce.

By then, the Fifth Battalion will be placed in front of many leaders. This kind of thing is easy to say but too difficult to do.

It sounds good, but Chen Ming is not arrogant enough to think that he can stir up troubles by leading a fifth battalion. More than 1000 people will not be conspicuous at all on the battlefield of large-scale military training.

How can it be so easy to alarm the director.

Facing Chen Ming's silence, Xu Wenqian reached out and patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, don't think about it, prepare carefully these days, I will tell you everything I should and shouldn't tell you."

"In short, you have to think about it yourself. No matter how good the performance of the Fifth Battalion is, it cannot directly affect the decisions above. It will only play a catalytic role."

"Of course, if you perform very well, you can apply for a number in advance. There is no doubt about it."

"There's nothing else, just go and do your business."

"According to the wishes of the Wang Brigade and in consultation with the military region, if the military training starts, you will follow the troops there."

"It's just that when you get to the battlefield, you don't have a station. You can choose to find combat targets on the periphery."

"The King's Brigade will make these arrangements for you when the time comes. You should go back first. There is nothing going on here at the Recruit Training Center."

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

Chen Ming raised his hand in salute, turned and walked towards the parking lot.

This conversation did let him know some of the above plans, but as Xu Wenqian said, this kind of plan cannot be announced immediately.

The above will inevitably be considered based on various aspects of the situation. As for taking into account the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse, that is unknown.

It's really too early to be excited now.

Returning to the parking lot, I saw Kong Wu chatting with several comrades from the Cultural Propaganda Department from a distance. Chai Shuyao was almost synchronized with him, walking over from a distance with a camera in his hand.

It looks like the shooting mission has been completed.

"Are you going back too?" Chen Ming raised his hand and greeted.

"Well, yes, we just invited some new comrade representatives to speak, and also invited some old squad leaders to record some videos of the opening of the training."

"Some people will stay here to film with the class for two days and collect the feelings or suggestions of some new comrades."

Chai Shuyao fiddled with the camera and wanted to show it to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming doesn't agree with this shooting method because it is useless.

There were people from the Cultural Propaganda Department, holding cameras and following along. Each squad leader had a better temper than the other. He always smiled in everything he said. He was mainly amiable.

It was filmed for people who have never served in the military to watch.

These officers of the Cultural Propaganda Department have never experienced the process of training recruits in the field army, so they record it through photography. This thing is really not very reliable.

Chen Ming just glanced at it and saw several second-term squad leaders of the 169th Brigade inside, with warm smiles on their faces, softly reminding the new recruits who had substandard military posture.

He talked about the rules of the military camp in a friendly manner and couldn't help but laugh. This was really difficult for him.

It's hard to imagine that when I first came to the military camp, if the recruit squad leader Zhao Lifei was in front of the camera, I don't know if he would be able to smile with that black face.

It should be quite difficult for him.

"Why are you laughing?" Chai Shuyao rolled his eyes.

"Are my photos funny?"

"No, that's not the case." Chen Ming shook his head, "I just saw an acquaintance and thought of something funny."

"By the way, I suggest that if you are filming with a class, don't follow one class all the time, but follow another one every now and then. Otherwise, I'm afraid these class leaders will get upset."

"No, I know what you mean, it's just that the pictures taken are different from the ones I usually train with."

"This phenomenon is unavoidable. Soldiers cannot become talented without training, people cannot grow without training, and the filming only lasts for two days before we leave."

Chai Shuyao smiled and smoothed her short hair. Obviously, she also knew the routine of recruit training. Thinking about it, how is the recruit company now? A casual search on the Internet will reveal the truth everywhere.

Even though beating, scolding and corporal punishment are rare, the veterans have plenty of ways to train them.

Soldiers must prepare for war. It is impossible to meet the requirements by just shouting slogans and running.

Quenching into steel is not just talk.

After all, you have to go through transformation, a particularly painful transformation, before you can truly integrate into the military camp and become a qualified soldier.

"Are you going back too? I heard that you are now leading the new camp. How is it? Is it difficult?" Chai Shuyao put the camera in the car and asked softly.

"It's not bad. The veterans arranged by the group army this time are all very good. It's not difficult to coordinate all aspects. Just cooperate well."

"Well, as long as it's not difficult, you should also pay attention to rest and don't work too hard."

"Ok, I know."

Chen Ming stood in the parking lot and chatted with Chai Shuyao for a while. It may be that the two of them have similar positions and military ranks now, and they are not as reserved as when they were private soldiers when they faced officers.

When chatting, the relationship was better than before and we got closer.

We chatted for about half an hour, from work to military training, and from military training to Ludao Wugai Mountain. Chai Shuyao went there twice later to watch the reconstruction work there and heard about the villagers there. Every time I can think of myself.

Chen Ming was also filled with emotion.

Although he tried his best in the original rescue, it was still a task and there was no need to think about it like this all the time.

The small talk is over.

Chen Ming took Kong Wu back to the fifth battalion. In the next week, the commander of the fifth battalion, Du Longfei, and the two of them got together every day to study the weaknesses of the fifth battalion's operations during the confrontation.

Where are the inconsistencies in the synergy of analysis methods?
After the research was completed, we held a meeting to revise the training outline and went to the training ground to supervise.

Time passes day by day.

Just nine days after the incident at the recruit training center, one night.

The battalions of the 169th Brigade suddenly sounded the air defense alarm.

The sound of whining through the air resounded high in the sky, covering the entire military region.
