I asked you to repeat your senior year of high school, but did you miss out on joining the military

Chapter 362: Talking fluently, this guy really doesn't rely on luck

When Chen Jun met Yang Chuanzhou at the Jinling Command Headquarters, he felt both surprised and reasonable.

After all, this bastard is lucky.

Following the head of the Kyoto Joint Staff, Lao Yang has always only played high-end games. It is not easy to meet him in other places.

Yang Chuanzhou led the way. The headquarters building was filled with corridors. The two of them walked one after the other, quickening their pace.

While leading the way, this guy turned his head from time to time to glance at Chen Jun who was following behind.

Finally, he couldn't help but speak first: "Aren't you curious about what the chief wants to see you about?"

"Who said I'm not curious?"

Chen Jun smiled and said, "The point is that curiosity is useless. Do you know what I'm asking you?"

"Fuck, you really can't talk, damn it!!"

Yang Chuanzhou cursed angrily, then kept silent for a while, and then turned around to inform him: "How do I know you, you beast? Last time I saw you, you were a captain, and this time you are a lieutenant colonel."

"Damn it, I doubt if you'll be the brigade commander next time I see you. Well, the commander may have asked you to come over this time because of some initial problems in the formation of the pilot brigade."

"Prepare yourself mentally."

"Also, I heard from the Chief a few days ago that you are now the son-in-law of Chief Li's grandson?"

"How come all the good things happen to you?"

Listening to Old Yang's endless chatter, Chen Jun grinned. All the good things happened to him.

That's what I said.

Chen Jun believes that he has worked quite hard, at least at this stage of military reform.

He started preparing four years ago.

As for the issue of the initial formation of the combined brigade, Chen Jun had never thought about it.

As the saying goes, the beginning is always the hardest. He had an idea about battalion-level synthesis, but he didn't understand brigade-level synthesis.

Even though he is better than Tao Lu in theory, he is only better in knowledge.

The other differences are not significant.

Chen Jun knew exactly how much he was worth.

Even if a combined force brigade of six to seven thousand people were handed over to him now, there is a high probability that he would not be able to manage it.

When I was in military school, the ideal scene of waving my hands and millions of soldiers charging forward was just an ideal.

The comprehensive requirements for commanding and operating a large army group are too high. There are very few confrontations between army groups. During every large-scale exercise, people have not yet taken action.

Pre-war simulations, planned routes, supply stations, field hospitals, etc. were prepared one month in advance.

Not to mention the scale of millions of people.

Even if you have to prepare half a year in advance.

Chen Jun was thinking randomly in his mind and did not respond to Lao Yang's nagging just now, knowing that this idiot was just a chatterbox.

When the two of them crossed the corridor and took the elevator to the sixth floor of the office building, where there was a small meeting room.

Yang Chuanzhou stopped first, raised his hand and pointed at the door of the conference room, and whispered: "The chief is here, please wait a moment."

"You said you were going to a meeting, at least you should wear some regular clothes. Why are you running here in camouflage?"

After saying this, he didn't wait for Chen Jun to respond.

Yang Chuanzhou knocked on the door gently, then pushed it open and walked in.

Chen Jun stood at the door of the office and quickly adjusted his clothes. It couldn't be blamed on him for not changing his clothes when he came out.

When they set out in the morning, he was standing on the training ground, discussing the training issues of each company in the first battalion with several battalion commanders who had nothing to do.

No one knew what was going on, but the clerk hurried to the training ground and said that Brigade Tao asked him to go to the brigade headquarters, and his tone was quite urgent.

Who would have time to go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting and then go back to change clothes?

As Chen Jun got dressed, Lao Yang came out of the meeting room with a calm face and nodded at him: "Go in."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun straightened his body and strode into the meeting room.

The conference room does not cover a large area, estimated to be about 50 square meters.

The interior decoration is also in line with the atmosphere of the army, except for some filing cabinets, a set of sofas that can only accommodate three people in a row, and a coffee table.

The most eye-catching is the long mahogany table in the middle.

He glanced quietly and saw Chen Huanran sitting at the conference table. Next to him were two people of higher rank than Chen Huanran. Chen Jun recognized them as the commander-in-chief and political commissar of the war zone.

I didn't dare look at it too closely.

Chen Jun just raised his head and took a quick look, then quickly strode to a place three meters away from the conference table and stood still.

He raised his hand and turned his body slightly to salute: "Hello, Chief!!"

"Ah."

Chen Huanran nodded with a smile, then he looked at the people beside him. The other leaders didn't seem to want to speak.

After all, the real power to preside over the military reform lies in the hands of the Joint Staff Department of the Military, although Chen Huanran's rank here is not the highest.

But the right to speak is definitely not low.

Seeing that no one else was going to speak, he raised his hand and pointed at the chairs at the conference table.

"Please sit down, Chen Jun."

"Don't worry. I asked you to come here just to learn about the recent situation in the battalion. Your brigade is facing a reorganization now. Let's get to know your pilot battalion first."

"Yes, Chief!!"

Chen Jun was not shy when he heard this.

He lifted his legs and walked to a chair nearby and sat down, his body straight and his eyes straight ahead.

It's not that he doesn't know how to be polite, but all the leaders in the conference room are sitting while he is standing, and it's not right for people to always look up at him.

"Chen Jun, based on the summary of the combined battalion's recent situation, it seems that everything is going well."

"I have seen the details of your National Day training and battle. Tell me what you think of the current First Battalion from your perspective."

My angle?!

When Chen Jun heard the question, his brain started working quickly. It turned out that Lao Yang's information was not very accurate.

Yang Chuanzhou just told him that he was talking about the problems in the early stages of the combined brigade, and he was still wondering about it.

With the military department making such a big move, it was not the turn for a battalion commander like him to speak here and talk about the problem.

But if you ask him, the battalion commander, what he thinks about the combined battalion, it would be much more reasonable.

The chief just mentioned the National Day military training, and during the training, he most often fought against regimental units.

Then we can only start from this aspect.

Thinking of this, Chen Jun took a deep breath. After organizing his words, he raised his head and said, "Report, I think that most of the units are currently using the regiment-level organization as their tactical organization."

"If we are only talking about the problems of the First Battalion, it would be better to compare it with other regimental-level units."

"Oh?"

Chen Huanran thought about it briefly, nodded with interest, and then adjusted his sitting position slightly and said, "Tell me about it."

"Yes!!"

"Based on the National Day military training battlefield, the regimental-level tactical organization can also be understood as a composite regiment." "Because our regiment has infantry, tank troops, artillery, engineers and logistics troops under its jurisdiction."

"But if we divide them seriously, the regiment-level units are too cumbersome, and the modern battlefield is highly transparent. It is difficult for regiment-level units to mobilise firepower in large numbers to avoid enemy detection."

"But regimental-level operations have to be combined and mobilized. For example, the infantry regiment does not have a tank organization. Tanks are a special type of troops. Only by grouping tanks together can overall maintenance be facilitated."

"If we add a tank company to the infantry regiment, we will have to add more companies and platoons to repair the tanks. Normally, if the infantry regiment wants to go to the battlefield to fight, it must borrow tanks from the tank regiment."

"Otherwise, our defense will be greatly reduced when we fight."

"But if it's a temporary secondment, not to mention the time it would take to make the battlefield transparent, just considering the firepower of two regiments, the coordination problem of temporary secondment cannot be solved."

"Temporary secondment will slow down the marching speed of the entire infantry, making it difficult to organize light infantry tactics."

"If there is no coordination, the firepower will be too dispersed and it will be impossible to achieve effective fire suppression."

"Ammunition is depleting too quickly, and the seconded units don't have strong logistical support at all."

"At present, if we want to deploy a regiment of troops to attack the enemy's high ground, the most common troop deployment is for the infantry regiment to first dispatch an infantry battalion."

"Then the regiment will assign an artillery company, an engineering company, and a logistics company to the infantry battalion, and then borrow one or two tank companies from the tank regiment to form a reinforced battalion for military operations."

"And this combined reinforced battalion is now the combined battalion."

What Chen Jun said was very clear. He believed that the significance of forming a combined battalion was thousands of infantrymen and hundreds of tanks. If they entered the battlefield together, they would be too big a target.

If you want to reduce the size of the troops entering the battlefield, speed up their mobility, and enhance their combat capabilities, a combined battalion becomes an indispensable choice.

This is his understanding of the current First Battalion.

He was not talking nonsense. During the National Day training exercise, the Blue Army attacked the 215 area. The other side was even more exaggerated, borrowing five battalions from three units.

The mechanized infantry regiment is well-equipped with various combat forces including air defense, artillery, and ground assault, and its number is more than twice that of a battalion.

But the unit that was seconded was equivalent to a regiment, but had five commanders.

This is a big taboo on the battlefield.

So many troops could not stop a battalion from clenching its fist for two hours. This shows how poor the combat effectiveness would be if all regimental units were seconded.

Chen Jun's words surprised the leaders present. It was not because he spoke too well, but because he spoke too plainly.

There is no big talk about modularization, coordinated firepower, various information terminals, informationized battlefield, etc.

From the most fundamental point of view, the necessity of the combined battalion was explained.

Chen Huanran didn't say anything at this time. He sat there thoughtfully, looking down at the table.

Another leader at the side said: "Chen Jun."

"arrive!!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun hurriedly stood up from his seat. He had never seen this person before, but he was not unfamiliar to him.

It was the Eastern Commander-in-Chief Shen Hongwei, and the man next to him was the Eastern Political Commissar and the Commander-in-Chief's old partner Chai Yansong.

If Chen Huanran came from the Kyoto military, then these two are from the war zone.

In the entire conference room, the commander-in-chief and Political Commissar Chai are the two with the highest ranks.

Shen Hongwei stared at Chen Jun for a while, but no emotion could be seen in his tiger eyes.

Until Chen Jun felt uncomfortable, he waved his hand and said, "Sit down."

"Yes!!"

Chen Jun had never met this commander-in-chief in real life, but they had a deep connection.

In his previous life, he was in the Dragon Tooth Commando, and the captain was the person in front of him.

However, the chief instructor gives orders on what tasks the commandos should carry out.

Except for a few team leaders like Chen Jun, no one who joined later had ever seen the headquarters.

Longya was established relatively early, and can be traced back to the era of large military regions.

The position that Shen Hongwei held in the Jinling Military Region at that time was not as high as it is now. He took the lead in establishing Longya, and he never resigned from his position in the headquarters.

Chen Jun himself did not expect that he had never seen the headquarters in Longya before, but he saw it now.

Shen Hongwei had no idea what was going on in Chen Jun's mind. He stared at him for a while and then leaned back in the chair.

He said seriously, "After discussing the views of the First Battalion, I would like to hear your views on the 179th Motorized Infantry Brigade and its transformation into a combined force brigade."

"Tell me about it."

"Yes."

Chen Jun forced himself to suppress the thumping sound of his heart. It must be said that it was a real challenge for him to discuss his own opinions in such an occasion.

He still doesn't understand why the leader asked him to come early, but there is no doubt about one thing.

These people will definitely be the ones presiding over the upcoming office meeting.

"Reporting to the chief, I have a positive opinion on the formation of a combined forces brigade."

Chen Jun suppressed his slightly nervous emotions, said a few words, and then looked at the people in the conference room, none of whom reacted.

He then continued: "According to the current world situation, it is difficult for a large-scale war to break out."

"Especially between the major powers, although large-scale conflicts are unlikely, small-scale local wars may occur at any time."

"In response to different situations, different adjustments were made. In 04, the Eagle Sauce carried out modular force reforms in the Army, abolishing heavy divisions and light divisions, and delegating all direct support forces to brigade-level combat teams."

"We need to make reforms to deal with the current situation."

"But reform is not something that can be done all at once. The Eagles proposed the policy of converting divisions into brigades more than a decade ago and implemented it, but their conversion of divisions into brigades did not mean downsizing."

"Their main purpose is to expand the division and strengthen the brigade,"

"The division is a command unit, and the brigade is a joint combat unit. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the division and brigade levels, reduce the regiment level and strengthen the brigade level."

"I think that according to the current situation, the purpose of forming a combined force brigade is to move towards rapidity, miniaturization and informatization."

"Because the wars we will fight in the future will definitely be defensive wars, and it is unlikely that we will go on expeditions, so we need to quickly build one or more advanced troops with enhanced firepower and comprehensive information technology based on the current situation."

"It will certainly be able to meet current needs, and the only unit that has all these conditions is the combined forces brigade."

"The battalion-level firepower is not good enough to cope with large-scale operations."

"And the Eagle Sauce is strengthening in the reform, and we are also strengthening as well."

"The biggest feeling I had while leading the first battalion during this National Day training exercise was that the informationized equipment and the digital battlefield had completely gotten rid of the low hit rate of heavy firepower in the past, and we needed to make up for the shortcomings in quality with quantity."

"Precision-guided artillery shells are in vogue, and the combat effect of one artillery piece in a battalion is enough to be comparable to that of a dozen artillery pieces in an armored regiment."

"The battalion-level units are already like this. If the firepower of the brigade-level units is brought to the battlefield, it will be even more terrifying."

"The synthesis does not require secondment or patchwork, and is a self-contained combat system. With the support of digital communications, its firepower support efficiency is higher than before."

"Much higher."

"Report, this is my understanding of the combined forces brigade."

After Chen Jun finished speaking, his back was still straight.

Chen Huanran and Shen Hongwei looked at each other, both a little surprised.

Because this guy actually mentioned the military department, and organized and established part of the core of the 179th Brigade so quickly.

Although it was not perfect, it was enough to surprise them.

It seems that this guy was able to lead a battalion not just by luck.
