Chapter 369 Goodbye Zhao Ziheng, a Pure Soldier
The organization of the infantry company was easy to arrange. Chen Jun sat in the office for a short while.

He calculated all the personnel and positions of the three infantry companies.

Throw it aside.

I plan to plan the number of people for the entire battalion according to the above requirements and then submit it to the brigade headquarters.

Let Captain Tao go and negotiate with the military to get the person back.

Anyway, at present in the brigade, except for the first battalion, there is not a single soldier in other units.

In the past, Chen Jun didn’t quite understand why the higher-ups wanted to withdraw the 179th Brigade so cleanly.

After all, even if it has to be adapted, some of the fighters can be retained.

Keeping the old team as the follow-up can make it easier for the cadres in the camp to work.

Now he understood a little bit. This might be a show of determination from above.

After seeing how He Yingtao and Ma Hongjie came over and cried poor, Chen Jun felt that the higher-ups might be deliberately withdrawing troops from various major military units.

Make all units closely related to synthesis, influence them subtly, and make those units pay attention to the synthesis promotion plan.

It could be this reason, or it could be another reason.

Thinking of this, Chen Jun shook his head. The thinking and layout of the people above may not be correct sometimes, but there will be no problems in the general direction.

Just retreat.

Now we are building a second battalion. Even though the battalion has no foundation, having no foundation also has its advantages.

In short, it's a hassle to go back and forth.

After the infantry company's personnel are organized, it's time for the tank company. Just copy the organization of the first battalion.

The tank company is a heavy fire support unit in a combined battalion. The most common organization is three tank platoons plus one maintenance platoon.

Each platoon has four tanks, and the company commander and deputy company commander are also equipped with a tank, which makes fourteen tanks.

The tank company's mission is mainly to provide close-range fire support and armored assault, while providing defense and mobile support for other infantry companies.

This is neat.

As for the artillery company, according to the conventional organization, the artillery company is the rear-line long-range fire support unit within the combined battalion structure.

It usually has two artillery platoons and a maintenance platoon. Each artillery platoon has three artillery pieces. The artillery configuration of the combined battalion is 120 mortar-howitzers. Chen Jun arranges the number of personnel according to the mortar-howitzers.

In fact, if you calculate it this way, after the Second Battalion was actually established, its overall combat effectiveness was more than twice that of the First Battalion.

Whether in close combat or long-range combat, the firepower of the Second Battalion is far from comparable to that of the First Battalion.

But this is the most reasonable arrangement. The organization of the combined brigade has been announced, so the larger artillery must be divided into the brigade-level direct artillery battalion.

Reduce the burden on combined battalion-level units as much as possible.

Anyway, the mission of the artillery company is to carry out long-range fire strikes and fire suppression, while providing fire reinforcements for the front-line companies.

In the past, the First Battalion had no brigade-level unit to support it, and could only cope with the difficulties brought about by the large organization on its own.

Of course, if we have to mention the artillery battalion of the 179th Brigade that was disbanded some time ago, there is nothing wrong with that.

The key point is that the previous artillery battalion was almost the same as not having it, and the mainstream was mortars and howitzers. Could it be the support of a battalion?

With just those twenty or thirty mortars, Chen Jun could just arrange three infantry platoons to bombard them.

It's really not good enough.

Speaking of support, the nine Type 11 122 box-type rocket launchers in the battalion are the most powerful. One launcher can fire 40 rounds in one salvo and can reach a maximum range of 40 kilometers.

This thing is the biggest confidence that allows Chen Jun to put his hands on his hips and challenge the mechanized infantry division.

A mortar-howitzer can't bring such arrogance.

The first battalion also has several mortars and howitzers that mainly attack short-range targets, while rocket launchers are responsible for hitting medium and long-range targets.

It's very powerful to use.

After Chen Jun had finished organizing the infantry company, tank company, and artillery company, the only things left were the combat support company and the logistics support company.

Both companies are combat support auxiliary units.

The combat support company in the 1st Battalion is called the reconnaissance company, but it is different from the regular reconnaissance company.

This organization will include multiple support teams with different professions, including intelligence, communications, engineering, sappers, etc.

Provide technical support and guarantee for the combat troops in the battalion, and also be responsible for battlefield reconnaissance and command and control.

Needless to say, logistics support includes providing medical care, food supply, ammunition transportation, and material replenishment for the entire battalion.

Chen Jun was not troubled by other units, except for this combat support company, where he had trouble calculating the personnel establishment and professional requirements.

Chen Jun put down his pen, grabbed the cigarette box from the desk, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, half-closed his eyes and thought about how to deal with this organization.

Obviously, the Second Battalion's approach is equivalent to placing heavy firepower and the main source of reconnaissance intelligence at the brigade-level unit.

The combat support company is equivalent to a battalion's reconnaissance company, engineering company, and technical reconnaissance team rolled into one company.

There was no obvious reference here, so Chen Jun could only sit there and think about it by himself.

The organization will be calculated based on the actual situation of the Second Battalion.

Just as Chen Jun was lost in thought, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

His office is in the corner of the third floor of the battalion headquarters. The third floor is the top floor, and usually no one would pass by here.

Realizing that someone was coming, Chen Jun stopped squinting his eyes and looked enjoyable while smoking, and put out the cigarette butt.

Sit up straight.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

Just as Chen Jun adjusted his sitting position, someone had already walked out of the office and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

The person outside pushed the door open when he heard the noise. What surprised Chen Jun was that the person who came in this time was none other than the company commander Qi Shaoxiang, whom he had just arranged for Lao He to talk to in the logistics support company.

Ever since Chen Jun presided over the meeting to disband the Third Company a few months ago, Qi Shaoxiang would not come alone to communicate with Chen Jun about work unless there was a general meeting of the entire battalion.

The two parties involved also know the reason. There is no hatred, just some grudges.

"Old Qi, sit down."

Chen Jun smiled and pointed to the chair next to him, greeting everyone warmly.

"Batalion Commander, I."

Qi Shaoxiang took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Captain, I don't want to go to the Second Battalion."

"Well, sit down first and tell me."

Chen Jun nodded slightly and invited again.

In fact, Qi Shaoxiang's refusal did not really surprise Chen Jun. The conflict between the two was because of the three consecutive incidents.

Later, Zhao Ziheng also said that Lao Qi's character was that of a very pure soldier, who simply did things for the good of the unit, and was commonly known as a sentimental person.

There are many such people in the army, who are willing to give up the opportunity for promotion for some reasons that sound insignificant.

His temperament is a bit like Xu Sanduo's.

That guy would give up a lot of honors for squad leader Shi Jin, but Qi Shaoxiang is not that stubborn, let alone a stupid guy.

He is different from Liang Kexiang. The reason why Chen Jun did not tell Liang about his transfer to the Second Battalion as deputy battalion commander was because of this.

That's because you know that if that jerk dares to get such a letter, he will probably report in so quickly that you won't even be able to see the taillights of the car hanging on his butt if you stand behind him.

Will be very positive.

If it weren't for this reason, Chen Jun would have no need to arrange Lao He to go to the logistics support company to do ideological work.

Now it seems that it has failed.

"Commander, thank you for giving me this opportunity, but I can't leave the logistics support company right now."

"What's the reason?"

Chen Jun looked at Lao Qi with great interest. This company commander, who was said to be only 28 years old, had a dark face and looked a bit dull.

At this moment, I am arguing with myself.

"Captain, it's December 2016. Today is the 12th. According to previous years' practice, the annual military exercise plan will be launched on New Year's Day." "We have worked so hard to establish the First Battalion for so long. It is taboo to temporarily replace the logistics commander before the annual military exercise."

"There are so many supply units in the first battalion at present, and our logistics configuration does not have many redundant vehicles. Once the huge battlefield is involved, it will be difficult to find someone to replace me to command."

"I know the logistics support company. I led it for five months before I finally got used to it."

"Battalion Commander, I know that in order to reduce the burden on the logistics support company, you assigned the cooking platoon to the battalion and separated the engineering company."

"It is to make the logistics more pure and to be able to supply the entire battalion's combat. I am unwilling to remove me at this time."

Facing Qi Shaoxiang's every word of defense.

Chen Jun suddenly fell silent.

He had always heard Zhao Ziheng say that Qi Shaoxiang was a pure soldier.

He had seen many pure soldiers like this before, but one so pure was rare.

How could Chen Jun not know about the annual military exercises?

It is because of this that the higher-ups seem to be in a hurry to form the second battalion. This is so unexpected.

But don’t say it yet.

Chen Jun really couldn't refute the reasons given by Qi Shaoxiang. If any cadre in the camp came over and said that it would be difficult to find a replacement if he was removed,

Chen Jun might just grab the documents on the desk and throw them at you, giving you some face.

But what this person said is correct. It is indeed difficult to train a qualified logistics commander in just half a month.

You know, Chen Jun has been concerned about every company in the first battalion, except the logistics support company.

They are disciplined and efficient and never let down their guard. When attacking the 215 area, in fact, if the logistics were a little stronger, there would be a simpler way to play.

But that's not realistic, we were doing pretty well at the time.

"battalion commander."

When Qi Shaoxiang saw that Chen Jun did not respond, he stood up from his chair again.

Faced with this request.

Chen Jun raised his hand and scratched his head, then waved his hand helplessly: "Old Qi, don't get excited yet."

"I have no other intention in transferring you to the Second Battalion. The Second Battalion is a new battalion, and many of its organizations are different from the First Battalion. Captain Zhao will be under a lot of pressure."

"You can go over and help more, and help relieve Lao Zhao of his stress, otherwise all the work will fall on him alone."

“The formation work will definitely not be smooth.”

"How about this, I will report the transfer as it should be. You don't have to report to the Second Battalion for the time being. The position of deputy battalion commander is reserved for you."

"At least until after the annual exercise, is that okay?"

"Yes, Captain!!"

Qi Shaoxiang stood at attention excitedly and saluted.

There is no one who doesn't want to make progress and no one who doesn't want to be promoted. It's just that some people will suppress the temptation of these things when faced with responsibilities.

Choose to do what you think you should do.

The ceremony is over.

Qi Shaoxiang stared at Chen Jun for a while, his eyes red as he said, "Battalion Commander, I don't blame you for what happened to the third company any more."

"I know that it was for the better development of the unit at that time, but I just couldn't get over it. A company was demolished just like that, and I did the same thing."

"Okay, okay. I understand."

Before Qi Shaoxiang could finish his speech, Chen Jun stood up with a smile and patted Lao Qi on the shoulder.

"Okay, let's not talk about the past anymore. We can participate in this annual military exercise if the military district allows it."

"Then you must be 200% motivated and show the other units what the First Battalion was like two months ago and what it will be like one month later."

"There is definitely a substantial improvement in combat effectiveness."

"Yes, Captain!!"

Qi Shaoxiang saluted again and left.

But Chen Jun regretted sitting in the office and regretted not wanting to let Qi Shaoxiang leave.

It’s mainly about this kind of cadres, who the hell wouldn’t be interested in them?

I have to say that there were quite a few talented people in the 1st Motorized Infantry Battalion in the past.

At that time, the company commanders under Zhao Ziheng were Ma Hongjie, He Yingtao, and Qi Shaoxiang.

Veteran Ma Hongjie was promoted to a senior officer. He is very law-abiding in his work and people are confident in assigning any task to him. Even if he cannot complete a task, they will create conditions to do it.

The fat guy He Yingtao is as talkative as an old lady's crotch. He says whatever he wants, but he is usually decisive in what he does and is very responsible.

Not to mention Qi Shaoxiang, he is a complete taciturn person, but his only virtue of being dedicated and responsible is enough.

"Oh shit."

Chen Jun watched Lao Qi leave and cursed angrily.

He was not scolding Qi Shaoxiang, but Liang Kexiang. Since Old Qi didn't want to go to the Second Battalion, then Old Liang should just hold him back for a few days.

So that he wouldn't know that he was going to be the deputy battalion commander and would be jumping around in front of him every day.

Not long after Qi Shaoxiang left, instructor He Yingtao also came over.

Lao He didn't say much, just briefly explained the communication process.

As for the final result, there is nothing much to say, communication failed.

The reason is exactly the same as what Qi Shaoxiang told Chen Jun just now, before the logistics support company is fully led, and a suitable replacement company commander is selected.

Lao Qi doesn't plan to leave.

Chen Jun spent an entire afternoon on the temporary shelving of the transfer of two deputy battalion commanders of the Second Battalion.

It was not until the evening that the total number of 721 people in the Second Battalion, as well as the detailed organization and number of tanks of all subordinate companies, were summarized.

All done.

The reason why it was done so quickly was that after the entire army was synthesized in later generations, organizations similar to the Second Battalion were everywhere.

The modular combined battalion can be drawn from any brigade in the future to supplement the manpower missing from the front-line battalions.

It's not uncommon, so it's naturally sorted out faster.

Chen Jun took the prepared materials and drove all the way to the brigade commander's office.

As soon as he came in, he saw two familiar figures standing shoulder to shoulder, with black backpacks on their backs.

Humbly accepting Tao Lu’s “gentle” lecture.

Chen Jun glanced sideways and was immediately happy.

These two people are Zhao Ziheng and Lin Jinhua who came back to take over the Second Battalion.

I don’t know why I just came back from further studies and was called to Tao Lu’s office and scolded.

"Report!!"

The sudden voice covered up the sound of the lecture in the office.

Tao Junming stretched his head and took a look: "Come in."

Then he didn't even look at Chen Jun, but continued to scold: "Both of you, cheer up."

"I'll arrange for you to go out for further training. It's not for nothing. You two should carry the burden of the Second Battalion with your heads."

"If you dare to make a mistake, don't blame me for having a talk with you later."

"By the way, Chen Jun is now the deputy chief of staff of the brigade. This time he will assist you in forming the second battalion."

Tao Lu introduced it lightly.

Zhao Ziheng's jaw almost dropped. Lin Jinhua on the side was also stunned. He turned his neck with difficulty and looked at Chen Jun.

A look of disbelief.

Is this the deputy chief of staff?
