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

Chapter 287: Retirement season is coming, further education notice is in place
"Old Chen called for a meeting?"

At the third battalion training ground, Du Longfei was studying and training with the new chief staff officer Chu Hongfan.

Chen Ming is busy, and they are also busy. The problems exposed every day in a combat unit can make the members of the battalion party committee feel numb.

But what they have to do is to grasp the general direction. The instructors and company instructors can communicate with the grassroots soldiers at any time and solve potential problems in a timely manner.

In order to function normally, ideological work and military training work are equally important.

Now that he heard that Chen Ming was going to discuss the problem, Du Longfei dropped what he was doing. Like Zhang Jintao, he knew that it was definitely not a trivial matter as long as he heard Chen Ming calling for a meeting.

That kid doesn't usually hold meetings, especially recently, when he often doesn't see anyone for three to five days.

"What about that, Lao Zhang, Lao Chu, let's go over and have a look. Lao Chen should leave for further study after this week."

"I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter for this kid to say hello now."

The three of them quickly drove back to the battalion conference room. As soon as they opened the door, they looked up and saw Chen Ming sitting there, hunched over the desk, taking out one record after another and comparing them.

There is a water glass next to it.

"Old Chen, what's the matter? You're not going to study at the First Battalion today?"

Du Longfei greeted with a smile and sat down on the chair.

"I remember that today was a confrontation between the third and fourth battalions of the 169th Brigade. It was at the martial arts field."

"Well, that's right." Chen Ming quickly put away the record book in his hand, took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It is indeed a confrontation between the third battalion and the fourth battalion. I just came back from the martial arts field."

"I went to the Second Battalion again and looked at the performance of their soldiers on the training ground. I discovered a potential problem that we currently have."

"I went to the brigade headquarters to report it, and it confirmed the purpose of the study explained by Brigade Wang before."

"Oh?"

When Du Longfei heard what Chen Ming said, he immediately sat up straight. Instructor Zhang Jintao and chief staff officer Chu Hongfan also came around.

Chen Ming carefully recalled the scene just now and continued: "I was at the Second Battalion training ground and found that their soldiers had a very special temperament when they were training."

"There is a kind of domineering attitude that gives people a very shocking feeling, and it touches me a lot. On the other hand, in our Tiger Wolf Camp, the training brings people a very shocking feeling, but most of this shock comes from live ammunition During drills.”

"Normal infant-tank coordination, infantry-artillery coordination, and firepower company charge. Although it gives me the feeling of going forward and high morale, it doesn't have the domineering spirit of the Second Battalion that dares to fight and will win."

"I'm thinking that according to the current establishment of the Tiger Wolf Battalion, if we fight against the second battalion in a confrontational manner, we will definitely have an absolute advantage."

"But if we use real artillery shells and fight on the battlefield, I always have a feeling that the Tiger and Wolf Battalion is no match for the Second Battalion."

"This is the kind of momentum that cannot be trained through collaborative training."

"So this is what Wang Lu said." Battalion Commander Du Longfei nodded slightly, then smiled again.

"Old Chen, I know what you mean. It's probably that our Tiger Wolf Camp currently lacks the blood of soldiers."

"Bloodiness is the concentrated expression of the spiritual strength of soldiers and is also an important factor in winning wars. You are absolutely right to feel this way."

"Actually, there is no problem with our training in this regard. Combat effectiveness is the only criterion during training, and we have not abandoned it."

"Work out the ideas for promoting combat effectiveness building, and eliminate those practices that have nothing to do with combat effectiveness or affect combat effectiveness construction. These are done step by step. As for subsequent training, we must consider it later."

"Oh, yes."

The battalion commander said that improvements that have nothing to do with combat effectiveness or that affect the improvement of combat effectiveness should be eliminated to create a good atmosphere where all officers and soldiers plan for war.

Starting from actual combat, we should closely follow the characteristics of local wars under information-based conditions, cultivate the bloody spirit required for information-based warfare, and integrate the martial spirit in the traditional sense with the scientific spirit needed for current wars.

Solve it step by step. Of course Chen Ming knows these things. Every time he goes to the brigade headquarters meeting, the chief of staff of the brigade headquarters will mention it.

But this is not a solution either.

It can only be said to be the direction that a unit needs to pay attention to during the training process.

Seeing that Chen Ming was silent, Du Longfei couldn't sit still. After being reminded, he understood, but he didn't know how to improve it.

"Old Chen, what are your plans to tell us all at once? Is there any way to do this?"

"That's right, if there is no other way, I won't come to discuss it with you." Chen Ming smiled and pushed the information he had just put away on the conference table.

"I also know that it is a little early to emphasize the bloody nature of Tiger Wolf Camp, but time waits for no one."

"Currently, the combat troops directly under the theater are arranging for people to gather here one after another. The combat troops directly under the theater just don't know how to combine operations, but they don't know how to fight."

"As a professional blue army, a force specially used for fighting, our lack of bloodiness is a big disadvantage."

Du Longfei nodded, he understood the reason, and he had never discovered the bloody problem in Tiger Wolf Camp before.

Now that Chen Ming has brought it up and the brigade headquarters has discovered this, rectification must be made.

"Old Chen, just tell me what to do, and we will fully cooperate with you." Du Longfei took the information pushed over by Chen Ming and looked at it carefully before making a solemn request.

Chen Ming was also unambiguous. This might be his last contribution to the Tiger Wolf Camp. He would not be able to do anything here for a long time.

Even if I return to the army, I will never come back here.

He stood up, moved the conference table and all the chairs in the front row, took out a marker, and wrote down several directions on the whiteboard.

He opened his mouth and introduced: "Battal Commander, Instructor, Staff Officer Chu, the next direction we need to focus on is to cultivate the bloody spirit of the troops."

"This is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, but because we have too many things in the camp now, some things cannot be rushed."

"Whether it's improving training or cultivating a unit's combat style, this requires changes over many years. Being too hasty may have counter-effects."

“So we have to start from the grassroots level and start from the ideological level.”

"Not only must we have the indomitable momentum of other troops while forming combat effectiveness, but we must also instantly sublimate at critical moments. We must also rely on perseverance and an unremitting attitude to achieve this step."

"First of all, start from the rules and regulations, start from the ideological point of view."

"To cultivate the spirit of blood, we must first prevent us from entering a state of emergency preparedness when the security situation is severe, and start to relax when the situation eases."

"Whenever this phenomenon occurs in the army, there must be something wrong with the unit where we are sitting. We must ensure that we remain the same in peacetime as in wartime."

"Inspections and non-inspections are the same, and collective activities are the same as individual actions. We must start with strict and formal daily management and implement all rules and regulations for troop construction to the letter."

"Pay attention to every detail to develop, cultivate daily habits, follow orders and prohibitions, and obey the command's sense of discipline."

"Cultivation of a work style that is vigorous, rigorous, punctual, and not afraid of hard work."

"Cultivation of a fighting spirit that will win if you dare to fight, be brave and tenacious, and become more energetic the more you are frustrated."

"Does this sound familiar to us?"

After Chen Ming recorded all these key points on the whiteboard, he sat back in his seat with a smile.

"It must be very familiar, because since I came to our Tiger Wolf Camp, every time there is a meeting above, we have heard the same words not ten times, but definitely eight times."

"Because this is a state that an old army must have, it may be a little difficult for a newly established army, but it is the fastest way to cultivate blood and discipline."

Chen Ming said so.

The three people in the conference room nodded at the same time.

The questions were not profound and the suggestions were not novel, but Chen Ming's thoughts and consciousness were always ahead of them.

Yes, after a month of training, the Tiger Wolf Battalion has its original foundation. Now I can’t say how strong its combat capabilities are, but it’s at least somewhat decent.

Developing a bloody spirit does not happen overnight, but this time is just the right time to focus on internal details.

It is necessary for combat coordination capabilities and troop morale to improve together.

Du Longfei thought for a moment, and he also understood Chen Ming's painstaking efforts. The camp had been rectified once before through a conflict with the pickets, but the rectification was not thorough.

In the new camp, people are often not so united and everything must be done step by step. The ideas and rules and regulations are not as strict as in other old camps.

It doesn't work now. The planning for the strategic assault division is progressing too fast. The combat brigades directly under the theater have begun to arrange people here before the designations of other battalions have been changed.The brigade headquarters said before that this was a three-year plan and a five-year plan, but now it has become a three-month plan and a half-year plan.

They will also change accordingly.

After all, Chen Ming had put so much effort into Tiger Wolf Camp, so it was normal for him to want to make it better before leaving.

The component of a combat unit's combat effectiveness is not just as simple as coordination. It is a very complex issue.

Some people may think that it is the warriors' firm will and the use of advanced technology, but this is only one factor.

For example, discipline, cognition, understanding why you are fighting, why you are called the people's army, and understanding these are the invincible combat capabilities.

This is also faith. In other words, it is the blood of soldiers and the blood of the nation.

The meeting room was silent for a while.

Instructor Zhang Jintao leaned on the table with his elbows and said with a smile: "Then it's my turn to formulate plans to cultivate the enthusiasm of grassroots cadres and soldiers. This must start with thinking."

"I will communicate with the instructors of each company in the follow-up work, and find each squad leader to be strict and pragmatic. This is really something that should be grasped."

"Yes, this is indeed our negligence before. Lao Chen's suggestion is very timely. When new problems are discovered, our focus will change. After all, the cultivation of combat effectiveness and the coordination between various arms will not matter no matter how much training is done. Back to the breaking point.”

"If you want to improve, unless there is a new training plan, I have been thinking about it recently. Lao Chen's suggestion was very timely."

Du Longfei also echoed beside him.

It was obvious that they were serious about it.

Chen Ming picked up the marker and capped it. He didn't have much time to stay here, and there was only so much he could do.

"Battalion Commander, you stayed in the first battalion for such a long time. From what aspects did they start training in this area?"

"First battalion?"

Du Longfei raised his head and thought for a moment, then said: "At that time, I was directly mentioned by the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company as the deputy battalion of the synthetic battalion. At that time, it was much more difficult to form a synthetic battalion than it is now."

"Lack of technology, lack of direction, and no successful cases. It all depends on the brigade's own coordination at the time. Sometimes due to lack of technical personnel, the whole battalion can't do anything for two months."

"I was a coordinating technician at the time. As for how to do ideological work, I'm not very familiar with it, but after understanding it, it's actually pretty much the same as what we just said."

"Bloodyness comes from firm belief. Without faith, the army cannot be bloody."

"The most fundamental functional education in our army often carries out ideological work, which explains this issue all the time."

"If we want to be specific, it is to make soldiers understand who they carry guns for, who they fight for, what they do as soldiers, and what the purpose of training is. These are the most basic questions that a civilian can answer."

"This is a national belief. Soldiers can answer the same questions and respond seriously. This is the belief of soldiers."

"Of course, after entering the army, patriotism and heroism will be the main propaganda content, and the professional character of soldiers who put country first and mission first will be strengthened."

"Strengthen the sense of responsibility to safeguard justice and contribute to national defense, and create a camp environment full of combat atmosphere by organizing viewings of historical films, telling heroic stories, visiting military history museums and honor rooms."

"Let cadres and soldiers build soul inspiration while inheriting the red gene and inheriting the red blood. These are all ways to strengthen the blood of soldiers through ideological education."

"All combat troops in our country use this method to strengthen their beliefs through thoughts, national beliefs, and national beliefs. Only when there is a country, there is a family. After a long period of ideological guidance, this is a bloody spirit on the battlefield. .”

"Oh, yes."

Chen Ming nodded thoughtfully. After all, he had never been exposed to these issues mentioned by the battalion commander before, nor had he served as a high-level military officer.

This time he just discovered a problem, but he didn't have a clear way to improve it, so he could only start from a large scale.

Now it seems that both the battalion commander and the instructor are very good at it, at least better than him.

"I also discovered some problems before our camp. I don't know whether it was because we put too much pressure on us or because the soldiers were under too much pressure."

"The mentality of many soldiers is that they are afraid of getting into trouble and want to stay safe. As long as they do the right thing during training and are praised, then there will be no problem."

"Training is all for the sake of training. Even when I went to the brigade headquarters today, brigade Wang also pointed out inconsistencies in the establishment of the new unit."

"It's just that Wang Lu said it more euphemistically. Put down your dignity, improve, overcome this kind of thinking, scientifically increase the difficulty of training, and make full use of super-intensity and super-difficulty comprehensive training."

"Integrate the training of will with the training of tactics, skills, and even coordination."

"Forge a brave and indomitable spirit and a strong body, and resolutely improve the previous face-saving projects, as well as the practice of showing off and training just for viewing."

"As long as this kind of thinking exists, a unit cannot be bloody. We didn't find this before. That's because our entire battalion is lacking in morale and momentum."

"But as our combat effectiveness slowly develops, many problems that were not exposed in a short period of time have now been exposed."

"Yes, we used to only require training results and methods. Deviations in the training direction are inevitable and must be corrected in time."

Du Longfei made the final decision: "Well, Lao Zhang, you should make adjustments according to Lao Chen's suggestions as soon as possible, and the ideological work should be in place."

"Lao Chu, your staff department must also follow up the work. Political cadres start from the ideological point of view. You must start from the areas where the combat coordination of each company is insufficient."

"Now the combat capability of the third battalion has begun to take shape. We work together to strive to bring the whole battalion to a higher level in the shortest possible time."

"As for Lao Chen"

Du Longfei stood up and patted Chen Ming on the shoulder.

"You should be responsible for supervision, and at the same time, be prepared to go to further studies. It will be the retirement season soon, and we are fine here."

"When selecting people at that time, we all arranged them here according to veterans who would not retire in one or two years. In addition, our battalion currently occupies the quota of the entire division."

"Promoted to non-commissioned officer, promoted to the third level, or even promoted to a senior officer, all kinds of study benefits are very generous, and we will not be affected by the retirement season."

"Just in time for a major overhaul."

"Row."

Chen Ming nodded and smiled.

After the meeting was disbanded, instructor Zhang Jintao also began to be busy. Tiger Wolf Camp was developing better and better. From the moment they paid attention to the details, it meant that they were becoming more and more standardized.

Soon, more than a week passed.

Chen Ming has been quite comfortable recently. The camp has arranged for a new chief staff officer to come over. He basically doesn't have to be too busy and spends most of his time watching.

Talk to the soldiers and officers in each battalion to see what good points they have and learn from them.

Most of the time he stayed in the Tiger Wolf Camp, doing ideological work with the political cadres. Firstly, he studied, and secondly, he really had nothing to do.

The retirement season is getting closer and closer. Since Chen Ming entered the military camp, he has grown up too fast. He has never experienced such an occasion, so he went to other camps to see it.

The list of retired soldiers from the brigade headquarters has been distributed to all battalions and companies. The training grounds of each battalion have been quiet these two days. You can see many soldiers walking in the camp area with lonely expressions at any time, talking in twos and threes.

When they are about to leave the army, the chief officers of some units will turn a blind eye to the veterans who are about to retire, not participating in daily training, and will not force them to participate.

Give them time to slowly and finally get familiar with the military camp. Once they retreat, this place will only appear in their dreams and they will never come back.

Some battalions are more humane and hold tea parties for veterans. This is not the kind of meeting that is too formal. The cadres invite the veterans to talk about daily life and listen to them leave some valuable suggestions to the old troops.

On the evening of August 31st, this day was no different from usual, with the same sunrise and sunset, but the military camp was enveloped in a faint sadness of farewell.

Because at dawn, the first batch of retired soldiers will leave the military camp.

Chen Ming was out for a walk. He also had to go to Shimen to report. He saw that the Military Service Club was usually deserted at night, but today it was full of soldiers buying peanuts and adding Duobao.

Knowing that they might chat all night long, he couldn't guess what they would talk about. Maybe the person involved didn't know what they wanted to talk about either.

Tomorrow, he will also go to the artillery brigade to see off his old comrades from the new recruit company, and then set off for Shimen.

Because the notice to start further studies has been issued.

He also has to set off again.
