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

Chapter 560: Damn, can practical assessment be conducted like this?
After the reception work was finished, Chen Jun handed the accounting check to Bian Tao and asked them to take the account books back to the apartment for processing.

He himself was preparing to set off for the 92th Battalion of the nd Brigade with Yu Chunlong from the Training Department.

That is to say, go and take a look at the Zuoquan Independent Battalion.

At present, the heavy equipment is open, and the 92nd Brigade's training in this regard has not yet been carried out on a large scale. The responsibility of the training department is to go to the grassroots to provide assistance.

The reason why Chen Jun chose the Zuoquan Independent Battalion without hesitation in front of Liu Xiang was that

This was not just a random comment on his part. Minister Li Dongge had told him this before he left the training department.

You can assist the brigade-level units below in training and do your best, but you cannot stay for too long.

As for the reason, firstly, many units in the theater need to be adjusted due to military reform and reorganization, not just the combined brigades.

The training department does not have that much time or energy to focus on one unit.

Secondly, the military reform has just been completed, and the higher-ups are eager to see all units stand on the same starting line and develop together.

But at the same time, the behavior of pulling up cliques is what we hate the most.

Li Dongge was well aware of Chen Jun's abilities, and precisely because of this, he could not be allowed to stay in one unit for too long.

Otherwise, if he is allowed to work in someone else's unit and do whatever he wants for half a year, and if he really makes some achievements, all the officers and soldiers in the brigade will mention Director Chen all the time. What will happen then?
What do the officers in the brigade think? What do the military district think?
Therefore, Li Dongge’s order was to fight quickly and decisively, and to do whatever was necessary to help and gain merit.

After sorting out the training, some people were left behind to take notes, and Chen Jun was asked to return immediately.

Feng Qiuhu from the 179th Brigade, who followed the commander-in-chief of the military region to attend the aircraft carrier's sea trial ceremony, specially selected people to assist Chen Jun, with the same intention.

The first is to help Chen Jun, and the second is to achieve results as soon as possible so that he can leave, and not to turn the work at the grassroots level from a small amount of work to a heavy one.

If we want to withdraw as quickly as possible, we must select a main battalion that is good in style, training, and other aspects as a pilot.

Obviously, the Zuoquan Independent Battalion is quite suitable.

When it comes to this camp, many people may be unfamiliar with it. The Independence Camp has a history of 76 years.

He participated in the Hundred Regiments Offensive, the Huangyadong Battle, and hundreds of battles in total.

In the following years.

The independent battalion has experienced many transfers and relocations, and even its organization has been adjusted many times. However, even so, in this large-scale military reform, the title has not changed and it remains in place.

The reputation of the Zuoquan Independent Battalion cannot be compared with that of the "Second Class Meritorious Battalion" like the 179st Battalion of the th Brigade.

Focusing on this battalion is Chen Jun’s first step in starting his work in the 92nd Brigade.

"Director Chen, are we going to the Fourth Battalion this time to conduct a practical assessment?"

On the way to Zuoquan Independent Camp, Yu Chunlong, Director of the Training Department, looked at Chen Jun expectantly.

In theory, the director of his department, judging from his military rank alone, should be the same as Chen Jun, both are colonels, but the problem is that Chen Jun is the director of a large department in the training department, and Lao Yu is one level lower in position level.

In addition, Director Chen is the one leading the team this time, so he, a colonel, can only be the second in command, or even not the second in command, because the people in the Supervisory Department don't listen to him at all.

"Yes, there is a practical assessment process, but it is not the main point. Just lead the others to take good notes."

"It's mainly to see the overall situation of the Fourth Battalion."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jun put down the roster and information about the Fourth Battalion that he had taken from the brigade and continued, "I know something about the situation of the 92nd Brigade."

"All battalions, companies, and units are full of enthusiasm. It is meaningless to waste time on excessive assessments. Our focus should be on sorting out the training work in the brigade as quickly as possible."

"If there is no problem with the audit, some of the technicians here should be withdrawn and the problem should be solved as a whole first."

"Yes, Director Chen."

After talking about his plan, Chen Jun didn't say anything more.

He originally proposed to come to the Fourth Battalion, not for the purpose of assessment, but the point was to replace a group of people in the Fourth Battalion, such as soldiers below the rank of corporal, and transfer them to other battalions as soon as possible.

During the re-equipment reform period, privates simply cannot keep up with the pace of high-intensity coordinated training, so it is necessary to ensure that all soldiers in each company have more than two years of experience.

Work can be carried out better.

Chen Jun is not exaggerating. In the past, the 179th Brigade was also reorganized from four main battalions.

In the early days, only the armored troops in the battalion and the light infantry who often practiced coordination performed to a passable level.

Able to adapt quickly.

However, when other branches of the military face heavy armor training, they would be so frightened that their whole body would go numb, their limbs would become uncoordinated, and they would not obey their commands at all, even if a tank just passed by.

The heavy armored battalion will be changed into a squad model, and the coordination between companies will become closer.

In other words, there used to be firepower companies and support and guarantee companies, the kind of troops that only needed to coordinate on the periphery.

With the reorganization, they will all be interspersed into the heavy mobile combat group. If soldiers with insufficient military service are selected for training, not only will the progress be very slow, but the level of danger will also be very high.

If a soldier's psychological quality is not up to standard, accidents are likely to happen.

Therefore, if the Fourth Battalion wants to serve as a vanguard battalion and conduct training as a pilot first, the personnel in the battalion must be replaced first, and the elites of the entire brigade must be gathered into one brigade.

Of course, before making these big moves, Chen Jun also wanted to see what the famous Fourth Battalion was like.

By the way, we will also fulfill the responsibilities of the supervisory department and go to the units to check the actual combat assessment.

"Director Chen, we're here."

When Chen Jun was looking out the window and thinking about his next move, Yu Chunlong's slightly excited yet respectful voice brought his thoughts back to reality.

It has indeed arrived.

As the brigade had notified them in advance, the Fourth Battalion Commander Wang Guangyi and the instructor Ren Xiangyu had already prepared themselves in front of the camp gate.

That guy, both of them had rosy faces, and stood there meticulously, waiting for the people from the training department to arrive.

I saw a minibus followed by several military vehicles, which stopped not far from the gate.

Wang Guangyi and Ren Xiangyu looked at each other, and then walked to the minibus together.

Standing at attention, they saw Chen Jun getting out of the car and saluted in unison: "Hello, Director Chen!!"

heard movement.

Chen Jun turned around and glanced at the two of them, then casually handed the roster and information about the Fourth Battalion to Yu Chunlong, saying in return: "You're welcome. On behalf of the Training and Supervision Department, I am officially notifying your department that this actual combat assessment has officially begun."

"You will be given five minutes to assemble the troops according to the combat requirements."

"Reporting to Director Chen, all units have assembled in accordance with wartime requirements. Please give instructions."

As Wang Guang spoke, he raised his hand and waved, and several military vehicles inside the gate started at the same time, and the gate lifting barrier was also opened.

It was obvious that the camp had been prepared for this.

They are not afraid of investigation at all and can let the people from the Supervision Department choose any unit to go to.

Seeing the other party's confidence, Chen Jun did not hesitate. He took the lead and walked in front: "Go to the firepower company."

Supervisory units under their command usually have requirements for actual combat assessments. The fact that the Fourth Battalion was targeted was both a blessing and a misfortune for them.

If there are no problems during the assessment, everyone will be happy. This will be reported to the war zone and will give face to the entire brigade commander.

On the contrary, if problems are found during the assessment, then they will be the ones who bring discredit to the entire brigade.

So, no matter how well prepared you are.

When Wang Guang learned that Director Chen was going to the firepower company, he quickly winked at the cadre accompanying him, and the cadre immediately understood.

He quietly ran to the gate duty room, picked up the phone and started delivering messages to the firepower company.

This little action could not be hidden from Chen Jun at all.

But he didn't care. He got on the vehicle prepared by the Fourth Battalion and headed straight for the firepower company's base.

The cadres of the Fourth Battalion accompanied them.

While walking through the camp, Chen Jun saw that the soldiers at the armored infantry companies and tank companies he passed by were meticulous in their work, whether at the gates or in other duty areas.

With field slogans posted everywhere, entering the Fourth Battalion really gives people an atmosphere of being ready for battle at any time.

Even the members of the training department who came along couldn't help but glance sideways from time to time while sitting in the car, and Chen Jun also nodded.

We have to admit that the Zuo Quan Independent Battalion really lives up to its reputation.

Before coming here, although the brigade had notified them in advance, it could not be considered a surprise inspection, but it took less than an hour from the time of the notification to when Chen Jun came over.

With such a short period of time, the camp sanitation can be temporarily taken care of, and even the route to the unit can be urgently planned.

But this kind of solemn and capable atmosphere inside cannot be created in a short period of time.

From the overall perspective, it is not difficult to see that the training of the four battalions is usually very hard and rigorous. In comparison, the battalion that was reorganized after the disbandment of the 179th Brigade does not have such standards.

Perhaps any one of the four main battalions of the 179th Brigade can easily defeat the Zuoquan Independent Battalion in terms of combat effectiveness, but that is only because they were exposed to heavy equipment early and have been training for more than half a year.

In terms of profound cultural heritage, new units really cannot compare with old units like these. It can be said that they are far behind.

Keep going.

By the time we arrived at the firepower company's base, all the soldiers in the company had already assembled with their equipment.

After getting off the car, the firepower company commander ran straight to Chen Jun, raised his hand and saluted, "Report to the commander, all members of the firepower company of the 92th Battalion of the nd Brigade have assembled."

"Please give me your instructions!!"

Chen Jun returned the greeting: "At ease." "Yes."

The company commander saluted again, then ran back to the front of the line and shouted, "At ease!"

After the order was given, the company commander's task was also completed. He quickly ran to the right side of the queue and stood, giving the next speaking right to Chen Jun.

Although this Director Chen came to the main battalion of the 92nd Brigade for the first time, the soldiers in the company were familiar with his deeds.

Just last year, in the series of military exercises on the battlefield, the 92nd Brigade suffered the only defeat, and it was at the hands of this man in front of them.

At that time, the entire brigade responded hastily, and faced with the enemy's armored assault torrent in its main battlefield, it was simply defeated.

That battle not only dealt a blow to their arrogance.

It not only shattered the brigade's belief in invincibility, but also almost destroyed the honor of the 92nd Division that the officers and soldiers of the brigade often talked about. After the exercise, they were reorganized for more than a month.

All this is thanks to the person in front of me.

It would be impossible for the veterans of the firepower company to say that they were not angry.

When the "enemies" met, all the soldiers in the company stared at the figure in front of them with burning eyes.

He didn’t even notice that his own battalion commander’s face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot.

Can it be not black?

You know, Chen Jun’s current identity is not the chief of staff of the 179th Brigade, he is an examiner of the training and inspection department directly under the theater.

If you glare at him and make him angry, he will directly demand a full-equipment and full-subject practical assessment, no matter how confident Captain Wang is in his soldiers.

But the Supervisory Department really wants to find fault.

Fortunately, Chen Jun was not a petty person and noticed that all the soldiers in the firepower company were on guard against him.

He smiled slightly, followed the standard marching movements, ran to the front of the queue, and raised his hand to salute!

"Comrades, please stand at ease."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Chen Jun. Judging from the looks in your eyes just now, I should be familiar to you all."

"I even saw a burning desire to fight in the eyes of some of my comrades, which is very good."

"I believe everyone is familiar with the so-called practical assessment, or some comrades can even list many requirements for practical assessment."

"For example, assessments are conducted in an environment close to actual combat to comprehensively test the trainees' combat skills and their ability to deal with complex situations."

"Another example is the actual environment simulation, which emphasizes practical skills. There are many ways and categories of assessment."

"We never stick to a certain subject. In that case, let's try something else today."

"But don't worry, if you don't perform well, I will give you a passing grade at the very least based on the actual situation."

Chen Jun spoke in a gentle tone, and was always cheerful when communicating with the veterans in the company.

But the problem is that the veteran is not willing to buy into his gentleness.

Especially looking at this former "enemy", now standing in front of him with a smile, and shamelessly saying that their performance was not good enough.

There are quite a few veterans in the firepower company, and their noses are almost crooked from being so angry.

Soldiers, especially those in heroic units like the Zuoquan Independent Battalion, will be assigned to the Honor Room from the first day they are assigned there, where they will learn about the unit's past and become familiar with the honors of their predecessors.

You can say they are short, they have dark skin, or even that they are ugly, and it's no problem.

But the assessment hasn't even started yet and they've already told them they're not qualified. How can the soldiers tolerate this?
"Report!!"

"speak."

"Reporting to the chief, we don't need to take the exam at our discretion. We will fight to the end for any subject that needs to be assessed. If we fail, we will be willing to accept the punishment."

"Report!!"

"speak."

"Isn't it just a practical assessment? What exactly is it about? Please give me your instructions, Commander."

"Report!!"

"speak."

"Commander, we haven't taken the assessment yet. How do you know we didn't perform well?"

"Report!!"

"."

My goodness, Chen Jun's words that the performance was not good and he gave the lowest passing grade at his discretion almost caused public outrage in the firepower company.

Even if he said that his performance was not good and reported the results directly, these veterans would not be so upset.

The commander of the firepower company listened to his soldiers' constant protests, but he did not say anything to stop them because he was also unhappy.

Including the Fourth Battalion Commander Wang Guangyi and the instructor Ren Xiangyu, they all looked unhappy.

But they never thought that Director Chen had not really been in the department all the time, did not understand the rules of the grassroots field operations, and had led soldiers before.

Could he really have said the wrong thing?
The reason why Chen Jun did this was just for efficiency. Yes, just for efficiency.

The main battalion will be transformed into a squad training unit, and some soldiers from Zuoquan Battalion will definitely be transferred, but they cannot be transferred without reason.

In order for a battalion to reach the combat effectiveness of the main battalion of the 179th Brigade in the shortest possible time, in addition to the personnel organization, the cooperation of all the people in the battalion is also required.

In a unit like this with a very high sense of collective honor, if a large number of people are rashly withdrawn, it is difficult to guarantee that those who stay will not have any complaints, and it is a waste of time on practical assessments.

It would be better to let them feel the pressure of team collaborative training in advance.

Simulating a real-combat environment is also a practical assessment.

Of course, more importantly, the firepower company occupies a large proportion in the subsequent team organization. They cannot adapt to the high-pressure training method, so they must replace people as soon as possible.

Even if the entire company is replaced.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. There is nothing we can do about it.

Seeing the firepower company was in a state of excitement, the company commander and battalion commander did not stop it, and even the good-natured instructor and political instructor did not say a word.

The soldiers of the firepower company became more and more excited as they spoke, and the sound of reports came one after another.

Chen Jun simply waved his hand: "Okay, okay, comrades, I know you are confident that you can get good results in the assessment."

"Then let's do this. Our actual combat assessment will still be conducted in a bundled and continuous manner, including light weapons shooting, battlefield rescue, and marching according to the map."

"But I will set the venue and plan the actual combat atmosphere. Comrades, do you have any objections?"

"No!!"

All the soldiers in the company roared in unison. After all, this kind of subject bundling and continuous assessment was commonplace for grassroots soldiers in the field.

It’s nothing at all, it happens at the end of every month.

"Okay, in that case, I will select a few comrades to step out and try the actual combat assessment."

Chen Jun smiled, then turned around and whispered something to the battalion commander Wang Guangyi, who glared at him and almost cursed.

Chen Jun seemed to have not seen it at all. He even raised his hand and patted the battalion commander on the shoulder and said, "Okay, prepare as I say. I'll bring people over later."

"I will call the roll next. Comrades whose names are called should prepare for the assessment in advance."

After saying that, Chen Jun didn't even look at the roster. He just looked up and shouted, "Lu Zhenxin, Lin Yahao, Yang Liwei, Li Long, Li Jiaxu, Wang Wenzhao."

Names were mentioned one after another.

The soldiers whose names were called were also confused. They had no idea how this new examiner knew their names.
Wang Guangyi, who had already walked far away, heard the roll call from behind and found that Director Chen did not even take the list of names, and none of the names he casually called were veterans with good performance in the firepower company.

Lao Wang almost stumbled. Damn, he came prepared.

I really came prepared.

On the way to the Fourth Battalion, Chen Jun spent a long time looking at the roster and information of the entire battalion. Was it all in vain?
The people he selected were all privates or corporals in the firepower company.

A bunch of names were listed, but there was not even a single non-commissioned officer of the first term or above.

To put it bluntly, the people he pointed out were all soldiers who were about to withdraw from the Fourth Battalion.

But the problem is that the people in the firepower company don’t know what’s going on.

This time.

The soldiers in the company who had just been filled with indignation were also dumbfounded.

The old saying goes, we are not afraid of the enemy finding fault, but we are afraid of the enemy being too mysterious. They don’t even understand the specific circumstances of the assessment.

He was picked out one after another as the most senior soldier in the company, without even looking at the list.

How to deal with this?
What made the firepower company members feel even more daunted was that when they arrived at the actual combat assessment site, they saw the tanks of the armored infantry company, tank company, and support and guarantee company on the battalion training ground.

They were like wild bulls, galloping at full speed on the training ground, and the required assessment assembly point was right in the core area where the tanks were interspersed.

Not to mention the selected privates.

Even the veterans in the company were confused. Damn, is this how practical assessment can be conducted?
