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

Chapter 524: Full preparation, this is my bottom line
Time passed little by little.

The momentum of the 179th Brigade's preparations for war almost alarmed the entire military region. In the previous six months, all battalions had been under the supervision of Chen Jun in a similar way to day-long combat readiness.

All the officers and soldiers of the brigade were filled with anger, and now the Russians hit them directly in the face.

The anger that had been trained for so long finally had a place to vent.

In recent days, the number of times the veterans of each battalion have cursed the staff group has visibly decreased, and there is even a hint of gratitude in their hearts.

After all, without a staff group and just a few simulated battle alerts all day long, the soldiers of the entire brigade would not have such high fighting passion.

Chen Jun has not been idle recently.

How the General Staff arranges training and how to supervise the coordination of the parade formations are all things that Fatty He and his men can handle.

Anyway, it was said above that if you want people, give them people; if you want equipment, give them equipment. Chen Jun is not a person who knows how to be polite.

The day after the meeting.

He went to the Air Defense Brigade, Special Operations Brigade, Engineering and Chemical Brigade, Artillery Brigade, and Aviation Brigade, and invited the chiefs of staff of these brigades to the staff headquarters of the 179th Brigade.

A separate operations room is set up to create a large sand table and conduct heavy-duty combat simulations.

After all, Chen Jun only knew about heavy armor in his impression, but the little he knew in his previous life was far from enough to support such a large-scale operation.

Based solely on his previous training and what he learned in military academy, Chen Jun felt that it was too simplistic and not conducive to this operation.

So, he simply brought these chiefs of staff over to analyze the situation from all angles through a sand table.

It can help him to have a more comprehensive understanding of heavy armor combat.

As for the terrain of the sand table, it was not deliberately designed to imitate the Chebarku training base.

Sand table simulation strives to be comprehensive. It is produced according to terrain and combat conditions to simulate the course of war.

It includes highlands, plains, mountains, stalls, islands, swamps, jungles, etc. Each terrain includes various weather conditions, such as storms, heavy rains, thick fog, ice and snow, etc.

Sand table simulation is a type of exercise that tests a senior military officer's battle planning ability. To put it bluntly, Chen Jun can only be considered a junior in this regard.

In recent days, with the assistance of many senior colleagues, Chen Jun also did it himself and successfully made a sand table. He also carried out manpower, firepower, joint logistics mechanism, communication, rescue, medical treatment, air-to-ground artillery and so on.

A series of complex battle plan simulations and secondary combat plan designs were carried out, and while applying command, one or two sets of combat backup strike plans were prepared.

This job is not easy.

Campaign confrontation tests senior military officers’ actual ability to design campaign plans and their ability to organize and implement them.

In fact, Chen Jun had wanted to learn this thing for a long time, because as a battalion commander or a deputy regimental-level cadre, he had no use for it most of the time.

Someone will take care of this.

But as his position got higher and higher, the person responsible for these things became Chen Jun himself. How could he survive without any work in his hands and any knowledge in his mind?

To know.

In addition to some necessary conditions, for future promotions, these senior officers will also be required to master skills that will be specifically assessed.

Chen Jun knew very well that although his promotion from captain to colonel went smoothly and in a short time, it was still within the range allowed by his superiors.

The difference from colonel to major general is just one step, which is more difficult than going from a private to colonel.

If we go one step further, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

In addition to making sand tables and trying out various combat scenarios.

During the preparation period, Chen Jun also collected hundreds of textbooks, including "Army Campaign Science First Edition", "Army Advanced Command Textbook", "Field Army Communications Organization and Implementation", "Characteristics of Field Army Command Plans", "Armored Forces Theory", and "On the Implementation of Joint Logistics Support in Multiple Campaign Backgrounds".

Does it feel difficult and exaggerated?
No, it's not an exaggeration at all. The hardships the commander has to bear are far more than what can be described by hundreds of textbooks.

This thing only sounds like a large number. As a qualified commander, in an actual military career, reading and thoroughly understanding a book of more than 200,000 words on "Communication Organization and Implementation" is just a process of familiarizing yourself with your responsibilities.

After reading hundreds of books, I have barely reached the level of being able to talk about it on paper and to be able to explain it clearly, but I am still far from being able to make a convincing argument.

You know the military, but why is it stipulated that officers must have grassroots experience after graduation?

In addition to coming from the grassroots and being able to understand the grassroots.

There are some other important reasons. That is, if you have worked at the grassroots level, you will understand the communication process, authority, channel division, backup channels, communication equipment frequency conversion, etc.

By linking all these details together and adding what you have learned in the academy, you can form a small-scale, efficient, tight-knit mechanized army combat system with smooth command and strong offensive and defensive capabilities.

These are just like leveling up in a game.

The higher the level, the more experience is required. However, for commanders, the experience must be converted into physical calculations, battle dynamic calculations, attack and defense conversions, etc.

A combined brigade has more than 6000 people and 10 battalions. If you use a sand table to stack them up, there can be more than 480 tactical unit flags alone.

This is not just a quantity, it's also a visual impact.

With so many tactical units being used, coupled with the changing time and weather, the army's general forces, and the complex terrain, an entire battle was deduced.

Without sufficient knowledge reserves, it is simply impossible.

In terms of combat proficiency, the Joint Chiefs of Staff sets the basic red line for officers at the rank of colonel and above.

On the afternoon of June 3th.

Chen Jun was still holding the "Theory of Battle" in his hand, aiming at the flags on the sand table while conducting offensive and defensive simulations.

Fatty He pushed the door open in a hurry and ran to the operations room.

He first glanced at the crudely made large sand table in the room, and then looked at the mountain of books and manuscripts piled on the red-veined wooden table nearby.

Old He grinned. He really admired Chen Jun's stubbornness.

If it were him, locking himself in the room for half a month, facing these clods of earth and dense data every day, Fatty He believed that he would not be able to bear it.

"Old Chen, are you still researching?"

"You are lucky to be born in modern times. If you were born in ancient times, you would probably be at least the third place in the imperial examination even if you couldn't get the first place."

When Chen Jun heard Lao He's teasing, he put down the book in his hand and rubbed his temples.

As the saying goes, one knows his own business. With his college entrance examination scores, he couldn't even get into the first-tier line, let alone the top scorer.

It is a blessing to be able to pass the imperial examination.

"What happened?" After Chen Jun felt a little more sober, he took the thermos cup from the table next to him, took a big sip of warm water, and then asked.

"What could possibly happen?"

Fatty He shook his head, took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw one to Chen Jun: "These past few days, the camp has been asking when we will leave, but the military district hasn't given any specific notice."

"Apart from anything else, we are very confident about this joint military exercise, so don't get too tired."

"Ok, I know."

Chen Jun didn't say much else. In fact, he was not that worried about Russia in this joint military exercise.

As someone who has experienced the future, his understanding of many military units is something that people today cannot understand.

But it is imperative to highlight the enemy's strength and prevent our own fighters from taking it lightly.

This is what it means to despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically.

The two smoked for a long time and chatted for a long time. He Pangle seemed to suddenly remember and said, "By the way, Lao Chen, um, Ji Tong is here, and he wants to see you by name."

"Old Ji? What is he here for?" For a moment, Chen Jun almost couldn't get used to Fatty He's jumping thoughts.

"I don't know. I've been here for quite some time."

Fatty He spread his hands and said, "I just didn't know he was coming. The sentry at the door let him in."

"If I had known in advance, I would have locked him out and let him experience the feeling of being rejected."

Seeing Lao He's indignant expression, Chen Jun couldn't help laughing.

Obviously, this is a grudge.

The 179th Brigade just finished a series of military exercises last year and was classified as a heavy equipment pilot. In the entire military region, only the 236th Brigade met the requirements for equipment filling in the pilot.

He took Fatty He to the 236th Brigade many times, and of course, he was rejected many times.

It's normal to feel resentful.

In fact, it’s not that Fatty He is stingy.

In the past two years, starting from the pilot program of the first battalion and then to the reconstruction of the 179th Brigade, they have encountered too many times of being rejected.

But on the contrary, during the joint teaching and training, they all worked hard and never made things difficult for anyone, especially since Old Ji had studied here for two months before.

I get along well with Fatty He.

After being rejected too many times and being treated like this by people you know, any normal person would feel resentful.

Chen Jun realized that Lao He was in a bad mood. He laughed twice, then raised his hand and patted Fatty He on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's not argue with them."

"But if you want to vent your anger, I'll give you a solution. Go and quickly transfer the training plan, experience, and all the written records of the formation of the detachment of the main battalion, that is, the synthetic company, to the first battalion."

"Then tell Captain Wang that from now on, the first battalion should be on high alert and any visitor, even if it is the commander of the army, must be notified first."

"No one is allowed to enter the camp without permission. This revenge will be taken naturally."

"Is this reliable?"

Fatty He was stunned and didn't understand what Chen Jun meant.

"Just go ahead. I'm the one who does it. Do you think I can trust you?"

Chen Jun walked out of the war room with a smile. He had walked more than ten meters before he turned around and asked, "By the way, didn't Old Ji come to see me? Where is he?"

"Oh, in the lounge."

Hearing this, Chen Jun nodded and went straight to the lounge.

It is not difficult to guess why he knew the purpose of Ji Laoguidan's visit. Half a month ago, the old man revealed that the first batch of heavy-installation pilot projects would be opened.

The 236st Army is the th Brigade.

The first batch of heavy equipment was opened, and there were only a few units in total, probably about six or seven.

These were what later generations called the local tyrants’ brigades. They were all equipped with new tanks and had very strong combat capabilities.

The ones that were opened later were slightly inferior, and the heavy armor was not mainly 99A, but mostly 86A plus Type 99.

Today, the first batch of openings has probably been officially included in the regulations, and the 179th Brigade, as a pilot unit, is half a year ahead of other units.

The old turtle egg must want to come here to learn from others. He who is close to the water gets the moon first. How can this make his wish come true?

Chen Jun went to the 236th Brigade before for official business, and he was able to get the political commissar's support, but now it is a private matter to seek experience.

There are plenty of opportunities to control that old guy.

Come to the hotel reception room.

No matter what, Ji Tong is the chief of staff of the 236th Brigade after all. He has come here with great difficulty, and it is impossible for the brigade to really turn a blind eye.

Political Department Director Yang Chuanzhou and Deputy Brigade Commander Lin Zhidong were both here to chat with him.

Seeing Chen Jun coming over, Deputy Brigade Commander Lin stood up and said with a smile: "Old Chen, hurry up, Chief of Staff Ji has been looking for you for a long time."

"I still have work to do, so you stay here with Old Ji."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Chen Jun nodded and smiled.

Lin Zhidong also knew the story of the two people, and he quit immediately.

But Old Yang just sat there and continued drinking tea as if nothing had happened. He had a good relationship with Chen Jun, and the work of the Political Department had nothing to do with the General Staff.

I just sat there and watched the show.

"Haha, when did Lao Ji come? Why did you think of looking for me?"

Chen Jun walked up to Ji Tong enthusiastically, and without caring about the other party's reaction, he directly shook the other party's hands to express his welcome.

The main focus is hospitality.

Ji Tong knew too well what kind of a guy Chen Jun was. He curled his lips and snorted coldly: "Chen Gouzi, don't try this on me."

"I've been waiting for you here for an hour and a half. Are you avoiding me on purpose?"

shit
Chen Jun grinned when he heard this. He really didn't know.

If Fatty He hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known about it until now. It seems that Fatty He is not the only one who is dissatisfied.

I’m afraid no one in the entire brigade likes this guy, otherwise why no one says a word.

"cough!"

"Why am I hiding from you? Tell me what's going on."

Chen Jun sat on the sofa beside him, intending to have a good talk with Lao Guidan.

As a result, Ji Tong was not stupid, and he got straight to the point and said, "Old Chen, our brigade has also been assigned to the heavy equipment group recently, just as you guessed last year."

"But we don't have much experience in heavy-duty training. I heard that you have developed a main force squad combat model. I would like to see the outline of your squad training."

"It's not a squad. Squad is just a name we use during training."

Chen Jun shook his head: "Specifically, we should disrupt the battalion-level organization and reorganize it into a synthetic company, because the heavy armored battalion relies entirely on the battalion command, which is too weak."

"A company carries the battalion-level command and is assigned five commanders, who are responsible for armor, firepower, communications, logistics, external command reception, and internal combat coordination."

"It's no problem if you want the outline. It's all in the First Battalion. You can go and take a look."

Ji Tong was originally listening attentively to Chen Jun's introduction, but halfway through the introduction he was suddenly asked to go to the first battalion.

Old Ji is a veteran in the army after all. How could he not know how he would be treated after joining the first battalion?
If we really go to the first camp, it will probably take less than an hour before we have to run back.

Once he arrives at someone else's territory, his title as chief of staff will no longer be useful.

After thinking for a long time, Old Ji whispered in pain: "Chen Gouzi, you bastard, stop beating around the bush."

"Tell me, just give me the outline of the team training and the progress of the record. What do you want in exchange?"

"How about giving you two more fifth-term veteran sergeants?"

"This is my bottom line."
