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

Chapter 358: Rectification meeting, competition among hundreds of rivals
Chapter 357: Rectification meeting, competition among hundreds of rivals

The atmosphere in the conference room dropped to its lowest point. In the past two days, the division summary meeting has been going on, and people from the 73rd Army headquarters came over.

The chief of the war zone also came.

In addition to Chen Ming, their group of commanders and fighters could also roughly guess that the people above were definitely not compliments.

Most of the time, the problem is laid out throughout the process and the shortcomings and shortcomings of the operation are analyzed.

If you want to compliment me, just make a phone call and there is no need to make another trip.

Analyzing operational issues, the director team participated in discussions for two days, listened to them for two days, and got angry for two days.

The red and blue battle has lasted until the third day, and the director's department has not issued a final result notice. Even the 86th Brigade, known as the Invincible Lion, has not returned to the camp.

They have been staying in the war zone, obviously waiting for the final notice from the summary meeting.

In the conference room, the division commander Wang Junwei was angry, and the officers in the lower row sat upright in their seats and remained silent.

Faced with the anger from above, who dares to speak up at this time?

"Tell me? Why don't you tell me?"

"I saw the statistical report from the Firepower Department. Isn't it quite telling?"

Wang Junwei glanced at everyone in the conference room, and the anger in his eyes was obvious.

"When I gave the reports one by one, the words were better spoken than the songs. Why didn't you say this again?"

"Third Regiment and Second Battalion, how did you plan day and night attack tactics for this battle? How did you execute them?"

"How was the fighting and commanding of this battle? You don't need me to review it again, right?"

"Look at your own reports. Is this what you wrote?"

As he spoke, Wang Junwei picked up a piece of paper in his hand and threw it in front of the commanders and soldiers of the third regiment with a "swipe" sound.

The paper was carried by the wind and was thrown onto the conference table with a "whoosh".

Chen Ming was sitting next to him, grinning secretly.

No one knows better than him why the teacher is angry.

In the past two days, the division headquarters summary meeting did not focus on combat matters. There were always people in the theater and military areas.

He arranged for someone to collect the summary of the battle from each combat unit.

Submit their post-war reports to the division headquarters.

When he submitted it, Chen Ming knew that the division headquarters would be furious this time, not that he was proficient in this area and could tell who wrote well and who wrote poorly.

No matter how you write it, the director will be furious.

There is no plan, just to test the combat capabilities of the strategic assault division.

It has only been established for a short period of time, has not undergone systematic training, and the director department only plans, so it cannot defeat the 86th Brigade in terms of combat power.

This is Wang Junwei's exact words. Even though there are more than 1 people, there are sufficient personnel, and the weapons are updated, it is useless.

The Heavy Equipment Brigade is the grindstone this time. The Typhoon plan is to send out the Blue Army and exhaust all means to test their combat effectiveness.

The purpose of training troops was achieved through combat. As a result, the Blue Army's initial policy was indeed correct and they indeed dispatched troops to fight.

But in the subsequent attacks, due to the loss of firepower, it was difficult to continue, and various problems emerged.

In the end, the combat part of the 86th Brigade was consumed in various ways.

If the expected results are not achieved, it will not be easy no matter how you write the data report or hold a meeting at the division headquarters.

Wang Junwei and a group of leaders discussed the various shortcomings of this battle for two days and made improvements and reviews.

The meeting lasted for two days, which was enough to show that the higher-ups attached great importance to the issues in this battle.

"Tell me?"

"Every one of the things written in the summary sounds better than the last. It says that this battle achieved a major breakthrough victory. How about you tell me where the breakthrough was?"

"Tell me more about it, come on."

"There is no need to submit a report. The battle was fought by you. How was the process and how the command was conducted? I don't need to repeat these to you, right?"

"Let's talk about it and use your usual abilities. I'm here to listen and listen to your opinions."

"Let's talk about the combat orders issued by the brigade headquarters, how each department implemented them, how they planned them, how the battles were fought, and what the battle damage was."

Wang Junwei asked coldly, his tone was not high, but the officers present collectively wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, even though it was already the coldest month of winter outside.

But the atmosphere in the conference room was still quite tense.

I don’t have much to say, and I don’t dare to say it. Many details of the red-blue confrontation this time were of little importance when they were played, if they were put on the table.

The division headquarters was bound to be furious. The exercise turned into a performance, and the performance was so exciting that there was no need to watch the post-war review.

Definitely not in compliance with the director's rules.

Wang Junwei sat at the head of the table and glanced at everyone in the conference room. Seeing that no one said anything, he did not continue to ask.

In other words, he had already predicted the outcome of this battle, and the director did not have too much involvement.

He glanced around and looked at Chen Ming.

"Fire department."

"Arrived." Chen Ming stood up hurriedly.

"Before tonight, arrange to collect summary reports from all combat units. Since you don't want to talk about it at the meeting, then write it down."

"Your fire department must also do a good job in supervision. The summary must be comprehensive and have real ideas. It is the most basic to make progress every battle."

"Yes."

Chen Ming nodded and sat down.

The summary was over like this, and all the officers present breathed a sigh of relief. They were also afraid that the superiors would not let go of the matter.

After all, no one knows better than them how the war is going.

Wang Junwei glanced around and his tone temporarily softened.

"We are soldiers, and the mission of soldiers is to fight."

"The superiors are going to establish a Niutoushan garrison base. You have all seen the determination. You will also participate in the operation no matter how it goes."

"What is the Blue Army? To put it simply, the Blue Army is a force that acts as an imaginary enemy in simulated confrontations and serves as the grindstone."

"Instead of shouting slogans, just scare the Red Army. That will be seen on the battlefield."

"Being a soldier is not a profession, but a mission and a belief. If you think of the military as a job with an iron rice bowl, you are wrong. Everyone can be lazy, but not the military."

"If you are outside, as long as you are not lazy, you will not starve yourself. But if you are lazy here, who can guarantee that a war will not break out one day?"

"If we are lazy, our sacrifices on the battlefield may be greater than those of the enemy, and the price we pay is several times that of the enemy."

"A defeat in combat is nothing, but there must be progress and growth. How many exercises can we conduct in a year? We must accumulate experience in combat, recognize our own shortcomings, and correct them."

"These words should not be mentioned again in this kind of meeting. All of you are veterans, so you don't understand."

"I don't want to go into details about other details of this battle. Let's let Chief of Staff Xu announce the follow-up work."

"This is an order from the war zone. I only care about the results."

Division Commander Wang Junwei finished his speech and handed over the rest to Chief of Staff Xu Wenqian.

He didn't have a good face. This time he made up his mind to reorganize the strategic assault division and strive to produce a confrontation result that satisfies his superiors in the next battle.

Instead of having such a big advantage like this time, simply honing the blue army's combat capabilities can make some mistakes.

"According to the instructions from the theater, our 704th Division needs to be rectified ideologically and organizationally, specifically from these aspects."

Chief of Staff Xu explained, while Chen Ming sat at the bottom and took notes carefully.

In fact, the current situation of the Strategic Assault Division is similar to that when the Tiger Wolf Battalion was first established.

Many soldiers, commanders and fighters were transferred from other places, and the command system was complex. Without systematic training, it was indeed difficult to achieve a coordinated battle from top to bottom.

However, the problem of the 704th Division is more difficult to solve because it involves too many commanders and fighters. Unlike the Tiger Wolf Battalion of the past, which only involved soldiers, companies, platoons and other units, it was easy to rectify.

However, the size of the Strategic Assault Division is not comparable to that of the Tiger Wolf Battalion. The number of personnel is much larger, almost ten times the difference.

The number of people is dozens of times, and the difficulty will be at least dozens of times higher. After all, it is a collaboration between units, not one unit.

It can be seen from this summary that many officers who can be transferred had good abilities in the old army. There is no doubt about this.

But no matter how capable you are, if you suddenly switch to a new unit and come to a new group, you don't understand many things, and it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

After being assigned to a new unit, no matter how motivated I am, I have no idea where to start. These problems are hard to see in the old unit.

After all, the old army has formed a complete working system, and there is always someone to solve some things.

But the new unit is different. Everything has to be started from scratch and divided into one unit. The problems will add up and the difficulty will inevitably increase. Why did Chen Ming propose to open a gap and let the Red Army attack the Niutoushan garrison before the war started?
Is his thinking so advanced? Can you see problems that other commanders cannot detect in time?

Obviously not.

As the firepower department, he is responsible for a very complex department and needs to frequently deal with various units, whether it is surveying and mapping or the firepower collection of new weapons.

He noticed something was wrong. The commanders and fighters of many units led the new units, and they had the drive and plans they should have.

But it is not an old unit after all.

Many newly established problems can be easily solved by unifying them through one operation.

Chen Ming realized this, so he proposed the idea of ​​​​comfort, allowing the Red Army to fight, find problems in the battle, and rectify them.

As a result, since the director did not interfere too much, let alone the fight, the trenches he and his men dug and the minefields they laid are still there.

There was no time for the Red Army to maneuver to the predetermined position.

The division headquarters was naturally aware of this problem, but it was useless to rectify it after the war started.

How to change it? As a newly formed unit, the 704th Division will face various construction problems.

Why are some units ace units with strong combat effectiveness, while others are just ordinary units?

In addition to some of the establishments required above, there are also many ordinary units, which have various problems that are not easy to solve.

If we want to change things one by one, there is still a long way to go.

Why did the 704th Division arrange more than 1 people? In addition to the important military base location of Niutoushan.

We also want to enter the ranks of a strong army as soon as possible in terms of organization, so that it can really be effective on the battlefield.

Rather than acting as the host, using familiarity with the terrain as the main force, fighting positional warfare, shouting to temper the Red Army, in fact it is not necessarily who is tempering who.

Putting aside everything else, the 86th Brigade of the Red Army was a heavily armed brigade with no backup and no air support. It was blocked by the Blue Army in such a disadvantageous situation.

They were able to withstand six days of attacks from the Blues, day and night tactical harassment, and they had to make some small moves during the period to finally win.

What kind of whetstone is this?
Who is the stone and who is the knife?

A meeting lasted from morning to noon. During the process, it was not just Wang Junwei who just briefly talked about the issues.

The chief of staff and political commissar of the division took turns putting forward various requirements, thinking, and analyzing the problems of each unit in detail.

The meeting of just a few hours was almost equivalent to putting all the issues on the table.

Analyze one item after another without mercy.

End of the meeting.

A group of officers took a deep breath and walked out of the division headquarters building. A few of them who were close friends exchanged a few words in private, but there was no sound.

Rectification is not an easy process.

A unit has gone from having no combat effectiveness to having strong coordination and combat capabilities. This cannot be solved with just a few words.

The turbulent crowd left in a mighty manner, but they lost the energy they had when they arrived.

Everyone lowered their heads in thought, thinking about the instructions issued by the division headquarters, and pondering them carefully.

Only Chen Ming was calm because the fire department did not need to be reorganized and was instead a supervisory department.

The above requirement for them is that the security picket training has lasted long enough and it is time to put it into use.

They are required to conduct audits at various intersections at the Niutoushan Garrison Base and in all camps.

Help each unit get on the right track as soon as possible.

Including the period of major reorganization, the Firepower Division is also responsible for carrying out most activities and assisting various departments.

Fortunately, he didn't receive any training, and other than supervision, he didn't have any specific tasks.

These must be done step by step, there is no need to rush.

"Hey, Lao Chen, don't leave in a hurry, let's have a chat."

Just walked out of the division door.

Chen Ming heard a cry from behind him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Xie Canxiong, the commander of the [-]st Air Defense Battalion of the Air Defense Regiment.

This guy was named and criticized in today's meeting. As for the reason, it's not difficult to understand.

The division headquarters did not talk too much about the detailed analysis of combat operations at this meeting, because it would be useless if they did.

The battle has been fought, no matter who has any problems, the director department is always observing.

Regarding Xie Canxiong's issue, the summary is that the content of the report was not carefully analyzed, there was a lack of rational thinking, and the analysis of the issues was not specific.

A battalion commander was scolded so badly in a meeting that he looked a little embarrassed.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Ming looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile. This guy really didn't deserve the punishment.

When the summary report was handed over, Chen Ming helped read it and found that most of the content in it was inappropriate. It was enough to report it according to the actual combat situation.

Because the higher-ups are looking for reasons and fixing problems, and if they don’t do it well, they will easily be set up as examples.

As a result, people didn’t believe it.

In Lao Xie's words, it's because the leaders above have so much time to read what he writes.

No matter how he summarized it or what countermeasures he had written, there was nothing wrong with it.

No need to change it again.

As a result, there is no result.

Today at the division meeting, the chief of staff pointed at my head and scolded me. How can I not be angry?

He was still a student who had returned from the Joint Warfare Academy. The war zone had arranged for some officers to go for further training, and the academy had arranged three stages of courses.

The purpose is to allow some officers to put aside the habits of the old army, fully understand the grassroots, understand modern military science, and be able to devote themselves to new work with full energy.

It turned out that this guy was really full of energy, but he was using it in the wrong place.

Strategic Assault is a new unit. If you want to know an officer, it is impossible to know your abilities through your actions or achievements in a short period of time, right?
We can only get a preliminary understanding through some summaries, paper reports and the like.

The original purpose of arranging training in the war zone combined with the current situation of the strategic assault division is so obvious.

Chen Ming also reminded him, but he didn't listen.

"Hey, don't look at me like this, Old Chen. I really regret not listening to you yesterday."

"But how did I know that the higher-ups were so serious? They will read all my battalion commander's reports. By the way, are you kidding me?"

"Did you hand in my report on purpose?" Xie Canxiong looked at Chen Ming suspiciously.

Facing this guy who repaid kindness with revenge, Chen Ming curled his lips, glared at him angrily, and said: "Don't bullshit me here, I reminded you before."

"If you are really suspicious, why don't we go back and confront Chief of Staff Xu now?"

"Let's see if I handed in your report on purpose, or have you read all the reports?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Canxiong, who had an angry expression on his face just now, immediately burst into laughter, and his face changed so quickly that it was comparable to Peking Opera.

"Hey, who among us brothers is following whom? Of course I believe you."

"No, I have something to ask you for help."

"Can't help at all." Chen Ming shook his head and decisively refused.

We were all neighbors in the college before. How could Chen Ming not know this guy's nature?

Coming here now, most likely because they want the police to picket during the recent audit, not to go, or to go as little as possible to the air defense camp area.

Now is the juncture of a major rectification. He was set up as a model and reprimanded just now. If he is inspected several more times by the security guards.

Then he will really become famous as the battalion commander, and he will just stay in the air defense battalion from now on.

This is really not what Chen Ming thought about. For a unit as large as the 704th Division, how can the commander above want to know you?
Do you expect people to peel off the mediocre skin and discover the rare and valuable seriousness?
Stop it.

The only most direct way to understand is to pass a written report in the early stage.

An officer at the Joint Warfare College was criticized as a negative teaching material at the first meeting. If there were follow-up audits, the troops he led would be repeatedly caught with problems.

That will send a message to the above.

This battalion commander has poor management skills. Not only does he not recognize people in his work, but he also has loose discipline in leading his troops.

As long as this impression is fixed, what will happen next, unless he can explode the ancestral grave in the subsequent battle and kill the Red Army's air command headquarters with one shot.

Rely on your astonishing achievements to attract the attention of the superiors, otherwise, there will be no chance.

It may be difficult to understand, but the army is like a hundred battles. You must have enough ability, enough ability, and a higher ability than others to gain a better foothold.
