Chapter 185: Railway Installation, This is Definitely a Living Devil
Dean Lu is very efficient.
The paper archives of the exercise were not delivered to the base until before lunch.
Pei Shuajun brought together more than 20 student soldiers and took advantage of the lunch break to organize all the information on railway mobile equipment.
As an initial course.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the entire base was notified to start classes.
As the person who proposed the course, Chen Mo couldn't run away. He had to study with the reconnaissance company and the people from the army.
In fact, in the initial stage, according to the plan, it is not appropriate to say that we are having classes.
Because paper archives are only for soldiers to become familiar with how armored units fight and why they lose, so that they can analyze and then be divided into specialties.
In this case, the teacher will not be involved in the teaching at this stage.
A lot of work is handled by Chen Mo and Pei Shuajun.
However, these details make no difference to warriors who need to look at archive files.
Whether it's the teacher giving the lecture or watching it by yourself, it's all quite fresh.
They spend the whole day in the company, training every day, accompanied by the loess and the sun, and suddenly they are notified that they need to sit in the classroom and do clerical work like cadres in the air-conditioned room.
This made some people in the reconnaissance company quite excited.
After receiving the notice.
Some soldiers changed into their most presentable uniforms, washed their hands and faces, and tidied themselves up before heading towards the classroom.
The classroom, which was originally occupied by cardboard boxes for most of the area, was cleaned up in the afternoon. Some of the boxes were stored in other rooms according to categories, and some were moved away altogether.
A group of people rushed into the classroom and looked at the desks covered with red velvet and placed with documents in brown paper bags. Many veterans stood in the aisle and did not sit at the desks at all.
Chen Mo arrived a little late.
When he finally squeezed through the crowd and entered the classroom, he saw many veterans staring at their seats, not moving.
He asked curiously, "What are you all standing there for?"
"Just find a place to sit."
"There's no need to divide us into classes or platoons here." An old soldier pointed to the classroom.
"No need, just sit anywhere." Chen Mo waved his hand.
With his words, many soldiers began to smile, and soon the crowd was seated.
First time attending class.
Chen Mo naturally couldn't expect them to write down much of their experience. After all, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Training is not something that can be achieved by being impatient.
He walked quickly to the podium at the front of the classroom and looked at the veterans below who looked like elementary school students, sitting there with their backs straight and meticulous.
Some veterans, because they arrived a little late, would stand at the door and report.
Overall, the atmosphere at the beginning of the class was quite harmonious.
Cheng Dong and Huo Linshan also came to the classroom, including the platoon leader of the company, everyone was there.
Chen Mo glanced around the audience, seeing that almost everyone was there. He then spoke, "Comrades, I know many of you still have doubts about coming to the base this time."
"I don't know what we are supposed to do or what we are going to learn in class."
"Here, let me explain in a unified way: we will form a brand new information synthesis force in the future."
As Chen Mo spoke, he picked up the chalk and wrote down these words verbatim on the blackboard.
As a former confidential secretary, Chen Mo has good penmanship. Pen and chalk are both considered hard pen calligraphy.
Writing "Informationized Combined Forces" really gives me a pleasant feeling.
After finishing writing, Chen Mo threw the chalk on the table, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I am talking about informatization here. You may not understand what I mean by synthesis."
"However, it should be clear if I give you an example. Let's take a standard armored brigade as an example."
"The role of an armored brigade on the battlefield is usually to quickly respond and penetrate the enemy's front line, disrupting the enemy's breakthrough and buying time for its own side."
"So when this brigade deploys its troops, it will arrange mixed units for coordinated operations. For example, an armored brigade may have four main battalions. Based on battlefield requirements and enemy firepower analysis, we need to deploy two tank battalions, as a single main battalion is easily targeted."
"When the main battalion is deployed, it requires coordination between the armored infantry company, artillery, logistics, and reconnaissance teams, as well as flanking maneuvers and leading from the front. All of this can be summed up as a synthesis."
"The informationized forces we will build in the future will definitely be battalion-level units that integrate multiple arms."
"As for informatization, it will overturn the current thinking behind armored unit combat, making command more flat, enabling discovery and destruction. A single branch of the military will be able to call in firepower at the rear in the shortest possible time. In short, informatization means that the commander's thinking can be applied to every soldier during wartime."
"Comrades, do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Mo stood on the stage and talked for a long time, while a group of people below looked up, blinked, and looked confused.
But fortunately, not everyone doesn’t understand.
One of the veterans raised his left hand and said loudly: "Scholar, after all you've said, what you mean is that our company will not only have scouts in the future, but also artillery and armored troops?"
"Well, that's probably what it means."
"Oh, I see. After the specialization, we won't be scouts anymore. We'll be assigned to artillery or another branch of the military."
"That's true, but if you want to be an artilleryman, why not just go to the artillery battalion? I know someone there, and it's better to learn there than to study here."
"You don't know shit. Didn't you hear what the scholar said just now? Informatization is flat, and there's also the idea of subverting thinking. Go to the artillery camp, and you'll see that the gun barrels are all round, not flat."
"Fuck you, you idiot! That's flattening. It's about command, not the barrel. Damn it!"
A group of veterans were discussing in the classroom.
Chen Mo stood on the stage, looking at the students from Lu Academy, Pei Shuajun, Liang Hongjie, and the few people who had some understanding of informatization, who were sitting there with frowns on their faces.
He grinned.
To be honest, he knew from the beginning that teaching was not easy.
If everyone understands information technology, is it possible that Lu Yuan's experiment will fail?
The road to any success is bound to be full of thorns. It is impossible to correct the inherent thinking of a group of veterans without hard work.
Faced with the discussions in the classroom, Chen Mo had no intention of intervening.
Cheng Dong couldn't hold back his temper any longer. He slammed his hand on the desk, glared at it, and cursed: "Damn it, what are you yelling about?"
"Showing off your ability, huh?"
"Listen carefully to the scholar's lecture, what do you know? Do you really think you are a hunter?"
I have to say that what Chen Mo said to Captain Cheng in the dormitory at noon really worked.
Regardless of whether Cheng Dong understands it or not, at least in terms of thinking, he is completely on Chen Mo's side and supports him unconditionally.
The company commander has spoken.
The veterans who had expressed their opinions in the classroom all shut their mouths in disappointment and dared not say another word.
I guess I've explained it almost completely.
Chen Mo no longer mentioned the concepts of informatization and synthesis. He picked up the chalk and wrote the words "Railway Mobile Equipment" on the blackboard again.
Then he continued, "Comrades, you don't need to write your reflections today. The documents stored in the bags on the table in front of you all record the details of the armored unit's railway mobile deployment."
"We don't need to worry about the specifics of armored warfare for now, but before the battle, transporting troops to the front line is the most basic."
"Similarly, railway maneuvering is a subject that every student in the Armored Command Department's advanced preparatory class, or graduate class, must master."
"Do you think I'm exaggerating a bit?"
"Not really. According to our current railway equipment, a train can transport half a battalion's worth of equipment at a time. It would take 15 to 20 trains to carry the equipment of a heavy armored regiment."
"We need to learn these most basic things from paper archives, because we don't have that much time to go to the workplace and review them bit by bit."
"Also, when the railway is being assembled and formed into teams, command flags are needed to mobilize tanks, armored vehicles, anti-aircraft guns, engineering lifting machinery, and personnel."
"Railway maneuver preparation is one of the most vulnerable training exercises to major safety incidents. Flag signals are a fundamental skill for armored commanders and are also one of the subjects that most tests a commander's psychological qualities."
"If the pace is too slow, we will miss the departure time set by our superiors. If the pace is too fast, accidents are more likely to happen. If the pace is too chaotic, accidents are bound to happen."
"Since informatization is based on armor synthesis, we must master the specific methods of vehicle formation, flatbed loading, adjustment and reinforcement, camouflage design, air defense establishment, etc."
"Okay, now let's start unpacking it."
At Chen Mo's signal, the veteran sitting in the classroom began to flip through the documents and check them carefully.
At the beginning, everyone was really excited to watch, probably because it was new to them.
Occasionally, when I see a familiar military unit number, I will discuss it with people around me.
But as I watched, my state of mind became worse.
After all, most of these archives appear in the form of data, without specific text descriptions, and are statistics on mobilization speed, mobile organization rate, etc.
For soldiers who train all day, it would be more refreshing to let go of their hands and feet and run a few laps on the training ground.
It takes about half an hour.
The whole classroom was filled with yawns and people were sitting all over the place.
Never mind the warriors.
Even Captain Cheng had his head propped up by his hands, his eyes half-closed, unable to focus at all.
In half an hour, he went out to smoke eight times. Basically, he would go out yawning before his butt touched the chair for long.
Chen Mo sat in the front and said nothing.
He just watched everyone silently.
Of course, not everyone is like a person with corns on their buttocks who can’t sit still at all.
Some veterans also read the materials very seriously and would even exchange the materials with the people around them.
After all, the reconnaissance company also has tanks, and trains are occasionally used for transportation during long-distance maneuvers. Basically, the people who can see inside are veterans such as the tank commanders.
Compared with other armored unit exercises, the efficiency of organization and deployment is improved.
This sudden change, from sweating to sitting and reading documents, is really hard to adapt to.
These veterans must be given a transition and a period of adaptation. Chen Mo understands all of this.
This is also why he never planned to let this group of veterans replace the regular troops when the experiment came.
After three months of study, I don’t have this ability at all.
At most, they can take over the command node, understand the flexibility of informatization, and link the temporarily assembled battalion-level firepower together through them.
Just supervise and fight against it.
If you want to see results from your information technology experiment, three months is enough.
But it would take at least a year or two to set up the company, don’t even think about it.
Chen Mo was planning his subsequent arrangements in his mind. He looked up and saw the company commander standing up for the ninth time, yawning, clutching the cigarette box, and about to go out to replenish his spiritual food.
He also stood up, followed behind, and walked to the open space behind the classroom.
Cheng Dong, holding up his trouser legs, sat down in the shade and struck a match. He looked up and saw Chen Mo following him out. He extinguished the match and took two deep puffs on his cigarette.
He then said, "Xiucai, you son of a bitch, this introduction is so fucking exhausting. I haven't even seen the exercise data in the company much, and I didn't expect to come all the way to see it with you."
"It's just a train assembly line, why do you need to look at it specifically? Who doesn't know how to do that?"
"You can't say that, Captain." Chen Mo chuckled.
He knew that Cheng Dong would be short of living expenses by the end of the month, so he simply took out a cigarette from his pocket and put the rest in front of the company commander.
After a small bribe, he said, "Mechanized assault operations can decide the outcome of a battlefield in just five minutes."
“Rail transport is crucial.”
"For example, if the exercise directorate doesn't pre-set positions and relies entirely on the two units to proactively move troops, what will happen to the unit that arrives at the battlefield first?"
Hearing Chen Mo's question, Cheng Dong was stunned.
Because all the current exercises are planned, it doesn't matter who arrives at the battlefield first or later. You need to listen to the news on the public radio before you can start the exercise.
If the directorate does not interfere, then those who arrive at the battlefield first will definitely be able to suppress the troops that arrive later and beat them hard.
There is no comparison at all.
One was well-rested and well-prepared, while the other had traveled a long distance and was exhausted. He would probably be wiped out before he could get organized on the battlefield.
Seeing that the company commander had somewhat understood the logic behind this, Chen Mo continued, "Company commander, you know about the Arab-Israeli tank battle, right?"
"Oh, I know."
"Well, the Arab-Israeli Tank Battle was the largest tank battle since World War II, with 1,800 tanks involved on both sides."
"In that battle, the Israeli armored forces mobilized quickly, and their mobility organization efficiency outperformed the Arab coalition forces by an average of 12%."
"The artillery fire hit rate is 6% higher than that of the Afghan army."
"There were three tactical penetrations. The armored group adopted a deep and roundabout assault pattern, first north and then west. The battlefield shifted to a high-speed blitzkrieg in all directions, with heavy troops surrounding and quickly dispersing, ultimately achieving victory."
"In this battle, both sides mobilized nearly ten divisions, and the fighting was over within a day."
"A full 1,000 tanks were destroyed. The Israeli army was able to achieve such a significant result because its mobility and organizational efficiency was faster than that of the enemy."
"Did they prepare in advance and arrive at the battlefield first?"
Chen Mo's statement, which was based on classics, left Cheng Dong stunned.
It took quite a while.
Captain Cheng nodded slightly and said, "So, according to you, the train's deployment is quite important."
"Of course not." Chen Mo nodded sincerely. If he wanted the reconnaissance company to study hard, the prerequisite was that they had to serve the company commander well.
After all, only this evil wolf can suppress the group of wolves.
It seems that they have realized the importance of railway equipment.
Cheng Dong flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, patted his butt and stood up and said: "Xiucai, I know you have grown a lot in the past month at Luyuan, but when it comes to leading troops, you are still not as good as me."
"With the group of people in the room right now, it's useless to let them sit there with the air conditioner on."
"Listen to me. Starting tomorrow, we'll move the classroom to the training grounds. Read the materials in a squatting position. Anyone who's finished their study can write a report in the air-conditioned classroom."
"If you do this, I promise it will be more efficient than it is now."
After Cheng Dong finished speaking, he didn't care about Chen Mo's reaction and walked towards the classroom with a detached pace.
Chen Mo, who stayed where he was, was completely stunned.
Good boy!!
I have to say that Cheng Dong's method might really work. At least in terms of efficiency, it is much better than sitting in the classroom.
Chen Mo thought that he was a bit bad, but he was nothing compared to the company commander.
He is the real living devil.
This method works!!
