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

Chapter 559: Treatment of examiners, focusing resources on Zuoquan Independent Camp

Chen Jun sat on the sofa in the reception room. He flipped through the address book on his phone and called Feng Lu first.

Recently, due to a sudden job transfer, Chen Jun has been busy with office affairs.

The 179th Brigade returned from the Chebarku base. Except for the fact that he called to inquire about the situation when they just returned to the base and mentioned the transfer of Li Wujie, they had no contact afterwards.

I was still planning on waiting for the call to connect, exchanging a few pleasantries, and then getting down to business.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the call didn’t even go through.

Chen Jun looked at the time and felt a little strange.

It was almost seven o'clock in the morning. According to Feng Lu's work habits, he should have been at work even if he was not as active as Liu Xiang.

After dialing again and still not getting through, Chen Jun muttered a few words and called the political commissar again.

This time, the call was answered quite smoothly.

As soon as Xu Wensheng, the political commissar of the 179th Brigade, answered the phone, a hearty laugh came over the receiver: "Haha, Chen Jun, I knew it was time for you to call."

"Hello, political commissar!!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Jun stood up from the sofa with a bang.

"Alright, alright, kid Chen, stop being so polite. You should be in the 92nd Brigade now, right?"

Xu Wensheng sat in the office, took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Have you called Lao Feng?"

"If you didn't fight, then you don't have to fight. Yesterday afternoon, Lao Feng followed the commander-in-chief of the military region to the South China Sea Fleet to participate in the aircraft carrier launching ceremony. I guess the place he's staying at right now involves confidentiality, so cell phones can't be used."

"But Lao Feng specifically told me before we left that it would be difficult to achieve any results with the help of the people in the training department alone when you go to the 92nd Brigade, so he has prepared more than people for you."

"They are all veterans drawn from the logistics battalion, combat support battalion, and four main battalions."

"Just work hard over there. Even if you go to another unit, the 179th Brigade will still be your strong backing."

"Thank you, Brigade Commander, thank you, Political Commissar!!"

Chen Jun grinned. He was just thinking about how to start talking about this, but now, he didn't have to say anything.

"Thank you for what."

Xu Wensheng shook his head slightly, then said seriously: "Of course, I can dispatch troops to assist you, but the process still needs to be approved by Lao Liu and the military region."

"Let the two military regions negotiate, and we will cooperate in submitting the list so that we can arrange for someone to go there."

"Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for us to send so many comrades out on official business at once."

"Yes, Commissar, I understand that."

"Well, nothing else. Can you adapt to life there?"

Listening to the political commissar's questions, Chen Jun leaned back on the sofa with a relaxed mind and gave Political Commissar Xu a general account of the situation in Niutouba.

After all, Xu Wensheng was a veteran in the army. After hearing about what happened to the 92nd Brigade, he didn't say much except for a few sighs.

Because if we really talk about the difficulties experienced during the reorganization, the 179th Brigade is undoubtedly the one that suffered the most. The entire unit was dismantled and reorganized, and then reorganized and reorganized again.

If it weren't for the pilot projects and resource allocation in the past two years, and the fact that they had almost no detours in synthetic training, they would have been able to keep forging ahead with the military reform policy until today.

The disbanding and reorganization of the 179th Brigade alone was enough to make the entire unit unable to react, not to mention its current position as the First Heavy Armored Brigade.

Even Old Feng was lucky enough to go on a business trip with the commander-in-chief and attend the South China Sea Fleet's sea trial ceremony.

The hardships involved cannot be compared to the 92nd Brigade's one-time cost-cutting and expense-saving measures to invite technical backbones to join the unit to assist.

Grassroots soldiers have their own difficulties, and these practical officers naturally have their own difficulties as well. It just depends on how they get through it in the end.

The two talked until the end.

In his words, Xu Wensheng reminded Chen Jun, intentionally or unintentionally, that he should do his best in this work, not only for the 92nd Brigade, but also for other subsequent units.

Because in Lao Xu's opinion, Chen Jun's current development has entered the foundation stage, and a single reputation may not be a good thing for future development.

For example, when many people mention Chen Jun in the East, their first impression is his achievements in synthetic informatization.

The momentum of military reform has gradually slowed down, and we must make full use of the accumulation of the past few years to gain as much exposure as possible.

Only when you know more things will you have more opportunities in the future.

After hanging up the phone.

Chen Jun sat in the reception room pondering the political commissar's words, but he still hadn't figured out what they meant.

Outside, Li Wujie hurried to the door of the reception room.

Seeing that Chen Jun was really sitting here, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, raised his hand to salute and said: "Battalion Commander, the commander of the 92nd Brigade, and several other cadres are arranging people to look for you."

"Everyone from our department has been invited to have breakfast at the brigade cafeteria. They said they wanted to welcome us."

"Jie Feng?"

Chen Jun heard this word that rarely appeared in the army, and couldn't help but laugh and shook his head: "There are so many tricks. The unit's food problem hasn't been solved yet, and now they're playing the old trick of welcoming guests again."

"More than that, Captain." Li Wujie raised his hand and pointed outside: "I saw the dormitory allocation just now. The 92nd Brigade did not arrange our people to the brigade headquarters, but to an apartment building a few kilometers away."

"According to Lao Bian, that should be the place where their unit in Quancheng entertains distinguished guests. The dormitory environment is very luxurious and there is even a TV inside."

"Okay, I understand. Let's go downstairs and take a look."

Chen Jun ignored Li Wujie's shocked introduction. In fact, he just didn't react.

Every time the training department goes to a unit, it is just to assist in training. Even if they can't do anything, as long as they send an email in advance, the brigade will arrange for someone to greet them at the door with great fanfare.

If the Supervisory Department comes down, the specifications will be better.

This is not a waste or anything like that. After all, when inspectors go to a unit, their duty is to inspect the training situation of each unit.

Their identity is the examiners.

When there is no war, it is not necessarily possible to tell from exercises how well a unit is trained and whether its work style is tough, to put it bluntly.

Because there are too many unexpected situations during the exercise, and all the actions are predetermined in the script, it is difficult to express a single aspect, coupled with various command factors.

Whether a unit is strong or not may not be shown during exercises, but it can definitely be seen during assessments.

After passing the assessment by examiners from units directly under the theater, the results will be reported truthfully, seen and taken seriously by superiors, and more resources will be allocated as appropriate in the future.

This is much easier than training hard every day with their heads covered and waiting to perform in the annual military exercises.

Due to this situation, examiners will receive high salaries no matter which unit they work for.

Chen Jun’s guess was correct.

The specifications were indeed quite high. He and Li Wujie had just come out of the brigade headquarters building. The 92nd Brigade's commander Liu Xiang, political commissar Wei Jinan, chief of staff Li Haojiang and a group of cadres from the brigade's party committee were all present.

Waiting at the entrance of the office building.

Chen Jun saw this situation, he walked a few steps to the front of the crowd, stood at attention and saluted, "Brigade Commander Liu, Political Commissar Wei, you are too polite."

"Haha, this is not a polite gesture. This is to welcome Director Chen to bring people to our company for guidance."

After Liu Xiang returned the gift, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Jun with a big laugh. The political commissar and other cadres came forward to greet him and shook hands with him with a smile.

That guy is more enthusiastic than Captain Chang of the logistics battalion.

If Chen Jun is still the chief of staff of the 179th Brigade and just came to the 92nd Brigade to assist, then the cadres here are being polite if they don't want to use him.

But I definitely won’t be so polite.

Because we are all from the field unit, there is no need to do that. We didn't know each other before. But now it's not possible. Chen Jun came here as the leader of the training department, so he had to follow some rules.

This may sound very realistic, but there is no way around it. Different identities will bring different courtesies.

Accompanied by a group of cadres, Chen Jun came to the cafeteria of the brigade headquarters. At this time, more than 30 people from the training unit were basically present.

The breakfast is even more rich. The soy milk that the private in Niutouba had been craving for is available on every table here, along with fruits, grilled eel slices, braised prawns, chopped pepper fish head, and spiced quail eggs.

It's obvious that the comrades in the kitchen team have put in a lot of effort, and the sumptuousness of their breakfast is comparable to that of the pilots in the Army Aviation Battalion.

Looking at the dazzling array of breakfasts, Chen Jun truly felt the power of the Supervisory Department. To be honest, after all his years as a soldier, this was the first time he had ever received such treatment.

"Brigade Commander Liu, you are so polite."

Chen Jun shook his head. Before he could say anything else, Political Commissar Wei Jinan pulled him to sit at the table inside.

"Come on, Director Chen, coming to our place is like coming home."

"You are welcome."

"Yes, you're welcome."

After Liu Xiang said this, he asked Chen Jun to start eating.

Because of their arrival, the breakfast standards of the entire brigade were improved, and all cadres ate the same thing, which made it easier for Chen Jun to accept.

If he were given a special meal alone, Chen Jun would probably not feel comfortable eating.

During the meal, Liu Xiang asked many questions about the 179th Brigade's training, including the change from the original battalion-based main force to the combined company-based main force.

That is to say, when Chen Jun was in the 179th Brigade, he divided the main battalion into small teams.

There is no other way to do this.

The combined battalion was changed from a medium-sized battalion to a heavy-duty one. Each battalion had nearly a hundred tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and various artillery vehicles.

This does not even include light-duty and auxiliary models.

To put it bluntly, the equipment of a heavy combined battalion is even more than the tanks and artillery vehicles owned by 80% of the countries in the world.

For such a large system, it is okay to rely on a battalion commander and a battalion-level staff group to coordinate and command. They can fight intense wars and use heavy firepower to strike hard.

Whenever the enemy uses the advantages of terrain and mobility to engage in a tug-of-war, battalion-level command will be extremely weak.

All kinds of intelligence from the Beidou system were pouring down like fucking snowflakes, and a few people simply couldn't command such a large-scale battalion-level combat group.

This has nothing to do with the commander's ability. Even if Chen Jun or Liu Xiang go, it won't work. This is the limitation of the system.

In view of this situation, the command of the main force can only be delegated to the company level again, so that smaller modular units can participate in the war, which will make it easier to mobilize firepower at the battalion level or the brigade level.

It can fill the firepower gap of the entire battlefield in the shortest time.

After listening to Chen Jun's plan, Liu Xiang was shocked by Chen Jun's bold attempt, even though he had heard about the training methods of the 179th Brigade a long time ago.

You must know that the delegation of battalion-level command to the company means that the command personnel configuration at the company level will not be worse than the current battalion level. The company commander plus the company branch command personnel cannot be less than five people.

Otherwise, they will still face the embarrassment of battalion-level command.

With this adjustment, the number of cadres in the camp alone will have to increase by dozens from the original basis, and this does not include other changes.

After figuring out the organization plan of the 179th Brigade, Liu Xiang said helplessly: "No wonder you guys are so powerful when you went abroad to participate in the joint military exercise this time."

"It's only been an hour. The two sides haven't officially started the battle yet. They were just testing the attack, but the two main battalions have already broken up the Russian Young Guards Division. With information technology and modularization, plus so many people working together to command, it's a sure win against a mechanized force."

"This reorganization plan is fine, but it's not suitable for me. Your 179th Brigade was originally a pilot unit, and the theater and headquarters fully supported it. You have recruited a lot of people from the academy and the NCO Academy, which is enough to fill the gap in your cadres."

"Now that the 92nd Brigade has been re-opened, there is no policy support. Where can I get so many cadres?"

Liu Xiang was a little worried.

Seeing that Brigade Commander Liu was planning to learn from the methods of the 179th Brigade, Chen Jun smiled. To be honest, the reorganization of the heavy equipment was not really his credit.

There are many ready-made experiences in later generations. Even though the heavy armored vehicles of later generations have reached the reputation of being able to suppress the world, the training methods are still not fixed and are still being constantly refined.

The headquarters has not clearly stipulated the specific combat plan for heavy-armored synthesis, and has always allowed each unit to try and make breakthroughs.

Find more synthetic combat methods.

But Chen Jun certainly couldn't say all this. He just knew that there was actually not much difference between the pilot project and the non-pilot project.

The simple thing is that the former is to redeem on the spot, whatever you want will be given, while the latter requires you to wait and apply slowly, and the quota will be opened up according to the actual situation.

Recruit a large number of soldiers with academic qualifications, gradually promote or train them, and fill the establishment.

Liu Xiang was already tempted, and Chen Jun also wanted to see the results as soon as possible, so he simply suggested: "Brigade Commander Liu, if you think the plan of combining the 179th Brigade into a company is okay."

"Then why not start with a main battalion, transfer all the veterans and grassroots cadres of the brigade to one unit, and straighten out the work of one battalion first."

"It doesn't matter if other battalions are short of people, backbones, technology or officers. Let's train our combat effectiveness first."

"After one main battalion is developed, we will have the internal ability to develop backbone personnel, and we can draw people to develop the other three main battalions."

"You can't eat a big fat man in one bite. At present, each battalion of the 92nd Brigade has invited a number of technicians to come, but after a month of hard work, there has been no progress."

"In fact, your brigade is not short of technology, cadres and backbones. Focus on getting one battalion ready first, and then things will be easier later."

Chen Jun's words made Liu Xiang stunned. The brigade has no shortage of technology or cadres. These words seemed to have some kind of magic.

Liu Xiang was so excited that he felt a little dazed.

Sometimes things are just like this, no one reminds them, they always think that in order to develop comprehensively, at least all battalions should be synchronized.

But the problem is that after a month of synchronization, nothing has been accomplished and the adaptation work is still a mess.

There’s not enough food to eat, and there’s no effect.

It would be better to gather the backbone members of the brigade and lead a main battalion first.

After all, combat effectiveness is the foundation of the survival of field units. Your superiors will not look at how hard you work or how responsible you are.

If there are no results in front of you, it is a manifestation of incompetence.

"Old Chen, which camp do you think we should start with?"

Obviously, Liu Xiang was moved.

Even the address changed from "Director Chen" to "Old Chen".

"Let's start with your brigade's fourth combined battalion, the Zuoquan Independent Battalion."

Chen Jun lowered his voice and said, "After dinner, you can notify the Fourth Battalion in advance and tell them that the Supervision Department wants to check the training situation of the Fourth Battalion first."

"Let each company prepare for the assessment."

"I'll go take a look first."

"OK, no problem."

Liu Xiang rubbed his hands with a little excitement, waiting anxiously for breakfast to end.

He immediately sent the notice of supervision and assessment of the Fourth Battalion to the famous Zuoquan Independent Battalion of the 92nd Brigade.

A morning conversation.

It really helped Lao Liu find a way to solve the current difficult situation of the entire brigade.
