Chapter 205: Reporting Dispute, Taking Down the Entire Logistics Department
Whenever there is a large-scale exercise, even if a major military region is designated to participate, not all units will be deployed.
Firstly, the scale of the war would be too large, and the loss of military expenditure would be astronomical, which is not usually done.
Secondly, no one can command a military exercise of such a large scale. The total number of troops under the jurisdiction of a large military region can easily reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.
There is no way to send all of them to the battlefield.
However, the 61st Division of the 21st Army of the Jincheng Military Region, as a well-known Red Army division, shoulders the heavy responsibility of being a Type A motorized infantry division in the north.
Outside, this unit can represent the banner of the military region.
This kind of unit must go to the battlefield.
But don’t think that just because the 61st Division is a motorized infantry division, it means that its equipment is not good enough.
This division is even more powerful than the 6th Armored Division of the 38th Army. In September 1998, after the organizational structure adjustments of various units, very few divisions were able to maintain the five-regiment system.
The 61st Division continued the previous six-regiment system, with considerable manpower and combat effectiveness.
It has three infantry regiments, 181, 182, and 183, one artillery regiment, one anti-aircraft artillery regiment, and one tank regiment, which was changed to an armored regiment last year.
The tank regiment was transformed into an armored regiment, the arms became more diversified, and the coordinated combat capability was taken to a higher level.
Once this type of A division arrives on the battlefield, it will be the main force among the main forces, the ace among the aces. If the division commander suddenly comes to the base, he should say that he is just passing by.
I guess no one will believe it.
This is also the reason why the people in the conference room were so surprised when they heard that people from the 61st Division of the Jincheng Military Region were coming.
That is definitely the ace Red Army division.
To show respect.
Luo Yaowu, Zhang Jinnan, Chief of Staff Qin Quanan, Minister of Training and Operations Li Guanduo, Commander of the 188th Division Tang Haodong, Commander of the Xiaocheng Anti-aircraft Artillery Brigade Feng Hongbing, and a group of leaders stood up from the front row of the conference room.
He led a group of cadres on the scene downstairs to prepare for the reception.
Chen Mo followed behind.
Although he is now temporarily assigned to the Logistics and Statistics Department, he is still the person who promotes information technology experiments, so he has to be more diligent.
Led by Chief of Staff Qin, a group of people quickly came to the entrance of the base.
From a distance, Chen Mo saw a black Peugeot parked outside the base. Next to the car stood a fat colonel about 1.7 meters tall, wearing camouflage.
The other person looked quite amiable on the outside, but upon closer inspection, it was not difficult to find that he had gray hair on his temples, but that kind of fierceness and arrogance was surging in his blood and bones.
To be the commander of the 61st Division, one must be capable.
More than a decade ago, the 61st Division cooperated with the 47th Army on the battlefield. During the two mountain rounds, one division killed nearly 4,000 enemies, which was quite impressive.
After all, they were just coordinating in the battle at that time and were not the main force on the front battlefield.
"Wang Songhe?!"
When they were about ten meters from the base entrance, Chief of Staff Qin laughed heartily and said, "Haha, Lao Wang, you haven't been seen in a long time."
A sudden sound.
Wang Songhe, who was waiting outside, was stunned.
He had been observing the surroundings of the base and didn't notice anyone coming. He turned around and saw an ordinary-looking station.
So many people came out, including the chief of staff of the 63rd Army.
Commander Wang immediately reached out and tugged at his military uniform, trying to make himself look more decent. As a commander, he was really not worthy of being called "boy".
The generation is very obvious.
"Chief Qin, long time no see."
Wang Songhe raised his hand to salute, then laughed and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Qin Quanan.
"We're still so friendly, haha, we're all old acquaintances."
Wang Songhe looked at Luo Yaowu and others, his mouth almost grinning from ear to ear.
"Well, it's time to come back more often. Let's go inside and talk."
Qin Quanan put his arm around Wang Songhe's shoulder, and the two of them walked into the base, talking and laughing like brothers, heading towards the meeting room.
Hear them say hello.
Chen Mocai suddenly remembered that from the 1950s to the late 1960s, the 61st Division was twice affiliated with the Kyoto Military Region.
Although the period of affiliation was not long each time, the first time was less than half a year, and the second time was five or six years when the 21st Army was affiliated with the Kyoto Military Region.
However, this relationship undoubtedly brought the 61st Division and the Kyoto Military Region closer together, although when this history occurred, most of the leaders present had probably not yet joined the army, or had just joined the army.
But origin is origin, and finding a common topic is always more practical than a group of people meeting up and only being able to brag about business with each other.
Chen Mo couldn't get a word in. It wasn't his turn to speak in this situation.
Then returned to the meeting room.
Without waiting for everyone to sit down.
On the big screen, the sound of mobile reporting came from the mobile communication radio.
"Tank Company 1 is operating normally, fuel level alert!"
"Anti-aircraft battery normal, fuel level alert!"
"Howitzer battery is operating normally, fuel count is good!"
“.”
A series of communication reports were transmitted to the command room. As a member of the Statistics Department, Chen Mo immediately cooperated with other staff members to copy the situation of each company.
This is also the purpose of joint training. It is necessary to master the joint battalion's mobile units and detailed mobile losses, which are not supported by these data.
Once we really get to the northwest battlefield, it will be no different from fighting with blindfolded eyes.
The same principle applies to modern warfare: food and supplies must be sent before troops move forward.
After copying is completed.
Luo Yaowu took it in his hand and took a look.
Since the joint battalion dispersed and maneuvered, its marching speed has obviously begun to increase, and it ran 80 kilometers in the past three hours.
Now two hours have passed, and even though the reconnaissance company had transmitted the route of advance, they had actually already circled the mobile route and advanced 60 kilometers.
The operation covered 140 kilometers in five hours. Statistics showed that tanks and armored vehicles refueled once every one hour and thirty minutes on average.
Ordinary vehicles need to refuel every three hours, and special engineering vehicles need to refuel every two hours.
Project all the results onto the other wall using a slide projector.
Wang Songhe had just arrived, so he didn't rush to explain his purpose. He chatted with the leader sitting in the front row for a while.
Suddenly he turned his head and looked at Chen Mo who was doing statistics and said, "Young comrade, are you from the Statistics Department?"
"Yes, Chief!"
Chen Mo straightened his chest and responded with full energy.
"Um."
Wang Songhe nodded. He had traveled thousands of miles from his base to the base, so the intelligence work must have been done very well.
Just by looking at Chen Mo, who held the rank of lieutenant and didn't even have an armband or a collar flower, one could roughly guess that the young man in front of him was the student who had been making a lot of noise about establishing the Shicheng Army Academy some time ago.
Chen Mo's reputation is not well-known at the moment.
But that doesn't mean he hasn't entered the sight of the top management.
A private who had just entered the school was able to tell the future direction of tank combat on the first day of class.
It can also meet the information technology experimental standards, and they are clamoring to build a school and a non-commissioned officer academy in the Army Academy.
Even if such a person is not a genius, he can at least be well-known in the circle.
However, the suggestions put forward involve too broad a scope and are too big a step, so they cannot be implemented in a short time. However, the person who put forward this suggestion will still be remembered.
The so-called confidentiality of informatization is only within a certain range, but for people at a higher level, how the policies and measures are planned and implemented are never secrets.
Maybe he is just free, or maybe he has other purposes.
Wang Songhe guessed who Chen Mo was. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Go, get your military district's transportation dispatch schedule for the past month so I can see it."
"yes!"
Guests are welcome, and since Commander Wang wants these things, Chen Mo has no choice but to give them to him. It’s not a secret.
After asking the Director of the Statistics Department, Dong Zhanwei, Director Dong quickly arranged for a staff officer who was originally in the logistics department to open the military microcomputer Excel spreadsheet.
Nearly one month's scheduling data was captured.
The entire military region’s monthly schedule is so huge that it is no exaggeration to describe it as a vast ocean.
"Commander, this is the distribution of supplies for the past month, mainly for refresher training and unit dispatch."
Chen Mo glanced at the data and began to explain it to Wang Songhe.
This was also due to the fact that he had worked as a confidential secretary before and was very familiar with this kind of data.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would be dumbfounded.
A lot of military data is simply not something that can be understood by people who are encountering it for the first time.
Wang Songhe nodded, sat in front of him, and stared at the densely packed records with eyes like a hawk.
He had just arrived and was not familiar with the organization of the joint battalion. He had just heard the report data and suddenly wanted to see which troops had been mobilized here.
Although everyone present guessed that the people from the 61st Division came here with the purpose of understanding the information battalion, no one really cared.
It's just the organization. Before a large-scale military exercise like this begins, both the Red Army and the Blue Army will conduct war game simulations. During the simulation process, the organization of both sides will be reported to the directorate.
This thing is transparent.
Wang Songhe watched, and Chen Mo stood by and watched with him.
About twenty minutes later, Commander Wang frowned and looked up at Chen Mo: "You..."
"Report to the commander, my name is Chen Mo, Erdong Chen, Mo as in tacit understanding."
"Well, Staff Officer Chen, can you spot any problems with this data?"
question?
Hearing the question, Chen Mo glanced at Colonel Dong from the Statistics Department and some logistics cadres.
Since everyone else was paying attention to the details of the joint training and no one was paying attention to this side, Commander Wang's inquiry did not attract much attention.
"I can see some." Chen Mo finally nodded.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Wang Songhe sat up straight with great interest, as if he was looking forward to what unexpected suggestions this young man who had made a name for himself in the Lu Academy would give him.
"yes!"
It seemed that no one came to the rescue.
Chen Mo had no choice but to clear his throat: "Commander, I don't understand what problem you are talking about. There is nothing wrong with the records in this monthly table."
"Um."
When Wang Songhe heard this, he did not refute and continued to wait.
But this sudden inquiry made Dong Zhanwei, director of the Statistics Department of the Logistics Department, break out in cold sweat.
The air conditioning in the conference room was turned up so high that it felt like there was no way to save him.
If the monthly report of the Statistics Department can be pulled out, it must be the data that has been reported. We are not afraid of problems. What we are afraid of is that this problem will be discovered by the heads of other military regions.
And with his own chief of staff present at the scene, it can be said that his job as director has come to an end.
"Commander, there's nothing wrong with the report. If there's a problem, it's that these data aren't static, but dynamic. They represent the actions of every unit in the military region."
"The data shows that there is a serious waste of resources in the logistics support of the military region."
Chen Mo really didn't know what Commander Wang was up to, but he knew about some of the transportation problems in the logistics department.
See Wang Songhe doesn't respond.
Chen Mo stretched out his finger and pointed at a data column.
"For example, here, on July 5th, the transportation dispatch of the Anti-aircraft Artillery Brigade overlapped with that of the 188th Division."
"For two hundred kilometers, the vehicle is running empty. Next up, we'll see the transport mission for July 14th."
"A transport battalion of anti-aircraft artillery traveled almost 400 kilometers in vain."
Look at what Chen Mo said with confidence.
Wang Songhe, who asked at the beginning, was confused. He blinked and subconsciously looked at the place where Chen Mo pointed.
But unfortunately, I really didn’t see it.
Chen Mo became more and more excited as he spoke: "According to this table, on July 5th, the Anti-aircraft Artillery Transport Battalion transported a batch of sealed supplies to the Group Army Strategic Reserve."
"On the same day, the 188th Division's transportation battalion received a notice from the logistics department to go to the group army to collect the allocated joint training supplies. The supplies they received were the ones that the anti-aircraft artillery brigade had transported that day."
"Then, two days later, on July 7th, the Armored Brigade and the Mechanized Infantry Brigade will take turns going to the Logistics Department to collect supplies."
"After these two units finished collecting their supplies, it was the 188th Division's turn to collect them. They were also receiving the supplies that the Anti-aircraft Artillery Brigade had transported two days earlier."
“That creates waste.”
"The anti-aircraft artillery brigade's base is only 70 kilometers away from the 188th Division's base, but the 188th Division has to make two trips every two days to collect the sealed supplies."
"I think it's entirely possible to have the two units conduct a handover, have the anti-aircraft artillery bring the supplies to the 188th base, and let them take inventory themselves."
"Even if the two units can't directly hand over supplies according to regulations, the 188th Division should have taken back everything they needed all at once when they first received supplies, rather than doing it bit by bit according to regulations based on the amount of supplies lost."
"For such a large batch of supplies, there were two transport battalions and 18 Type 142 military vehicles running back and forth. Just in the past two days, just one supply handover has wasted tens of thousands of liters of diesel."
"And here, July 14th"
"Here, July 20th."
Seeing that Commander Wang didn't say anything, Chen Mo thought that the other party agreed with his views and kept talking.
In summary, the Statistics Department's monthly statistics report showed that more than 100,000 liters of fuel were wasted.
Dong Zhanwei, who was quite nervous at first, let out a long sigh and his expression gradually relaxed.
Because if the report is wrong, it will definitely be the responsibility of the Statistics Department and they cannot escape it.
But if there are loopholes in the scheduling and it leads to waste, then it has nothing to do with him.
Of course, it cannot be said that it is completely unrelated.
At least when the time comes to be punished, he will definitely not be the first to be hit. He will have to wait in line, behind the Minister of Logistics, right?
Gradually.
More and more people gathered behind Chen Mo, including Chief of Staff Qin, Vice President Zhang, and Director Luo who all came over to watch.
Wang Songhe, who initially proposed this suggestion, swallowed quietly.
Damn it.
At first, he just saw that the joint camp had only more than a thousand people in total, but they had transferred nearly five hundred logistics personnel. The organization was a bit too complicated, so he wanted to discuss it with this young man.
How could he know how far the anti-aircraft artillery brigade was from the 188th Division's base? Even if he knew, he wouldn't pick on the 63rd Army's faults in front of so many people.
Who would have thought that Chen Mo would blurt out everything at once.
Look, Chen Mo is still talking.
Luo Yaowu's eyes twitched slightly. He already knew that the logistics department was about to be reorganized.
Pointing out this kind of problem in front of the Chief of Staff and the Commander of the 61st Division will inevitably lead to rectification.
And that bastard Chen Mo hasn't even been in charge of logistics for a day.
It can cause such a big mess.
How can I study at the Statistics Department after this? What the hell? I guess a lot of people will be implicated.
What's even more fucked up is.
Wang Songhe couldn't explain his original intention now. He had to admit it even if he had to grit his teeth. The problem Chen Mo mentioned was exactly the loophole he had seen.
Damn, I originally came here just to learn about the joint camp.
This time, the blame is really being taken.
The people in the logistics department were even more disappointed. They also knew that the people from the Jincheng Military Region had bad intentions.
But I didn't expect that this unkindness was directed at logistics.
