Chapter 216: The First Blue Army Battalion is Established
Faced with the lion-like training plan, the conference room fell into an eerie silence.
The tanks are easy, the General Staff can mobilize them now.
Drones can barely make do, but they certainly can’t muster this many.
If the military district does not have it, it can be temporarily borrowed from major colleges. Currently, the place where these things are most concentrated is not the military district, but the military academy.
As the chief of staff, Qin Quanan can be worth a few planes as long as he is willing to risk his reputation, so it is not a big problem.
But many of the people on the scene had never heard of this cross-linked satellite positioning system and ground surveillance radar equipment.
Where to get it?
Qin Quanan was sitting on a chair. When he raised his hand to light a cigarette, he glanced at Chen Mo. He even suspected that this guy was setting up a stage blindly and performing with his eyes blindfolded.
Can a battalion-level unit operate so many devices?
If everyone just keeps tinkering with these things, who will go to fight?
"Chen Mo."
"arrive!!"
"Your training plan is quite good and insightful," Qin Quanan said leisurely. "It's just that we need these equipment. Isn't it a bit too much?"
"Report!"
Chen Mo puffed out his chest and said, "Commander, the number of equipment has been carefully considered and is definitely not sufficient."
Speaking of this.
Chen Mo softened his tone a bit and continued, "The number of drones can be reduced appropriately, but the number of walkie-talkies really cannot be reduced."
"There's also GPS cross-linked satellite positioning, which is essential. Informatized combat relies entirely on this system to locate our tanks."
"UAV reconnaissance can help us plan the best route for our mobile team in the shortest possible time. Using technical reconnaissance and electronic countermeasures technology, we can effectively avoid all enemy positions."
"Unless the enemy is fully mechanized, doesn't communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, and doesn't use any electronic equipment, they will not be able to escape the system's detection."
"It can greatly improve the unit's survivability."
The reason why Chen Mo said this was that he had deliberately written an extra part of the compilation when he was making the plan.
Leave some room for the leaders above to lower the price.
After all, no matter how high-ranking the leader is, he has many subordinate units and many things to deal with every day. When he sees any application, he will want to reduce costs appropriately.
If he had said at the beginning that seventy or eighty hand-cranked drones were needed, the leaders above would still think it was too many.
It would be better to write more.
Bargaining down to seventy or eighty planes would be easier to accept.
As expected.
When Qin Quanan heard that the drone was negotiable, his expression suddenly softened: "Then what about this cross-link..."
"Commander, link the satellite positioning system and the drone, and the flare arrows will be ready."
Chen Mo reminded in a low voice.
"Flare?" Qin Quan'an was stunned for a moment before realizing, "Are you talking about the Eastern Excalibur Special Forces?"
"Yes, they do." Chen Mo nodded affirmatively.
Damn, I understand everything.
Qin Quanan gritted his teeth. This training plan was originally written by Chen Mo for the head of the Kyoto Military Region to read.
Otherwise, who in other military regions can mobilize the people who make the whistles?
But there is finally a solution.
The equipment is not difficult to obtain, but I am afraid that I don’t know where to get it. Since the special brigade under the Kyoto Military Region has it, it is easy.
Qin Quanan took a deep breath. The people above had given this task to the military district, and the responsibility on his shoulders was very heavy.
After finishing his cigarette, Qin Quanan waved his hand and said, "Chen Mo, you were a recruit for three months, a private for over two months, a trainee for two months, and a cadre for less than a month. You have already walked a path that other comrades would take more than ten years or even decades to walk."
"I hope you will not let down the country's trust in you this time."
Chief of Staff Qin said this, which clearly showed that he was prepared to risk his reputation and go to Xiangjian to ask for people and equipment.
He also had to go to various military academies to negotiate and borrow drones, and this decision was not easy for him either.
Chen Mo couldn't respond much.
He could only salute solemnly: "Please rest assured, Commander, I will complete the mission of this Northwest Military Exercise. If I don't do well, I will immediately apply for a transfer and go home to farm!"
Chen Mo used the old trick again and issued a military order.
But if he says this too many times, no one will believe him anymore.
Go home to farm?
You little bastard, the army cooperated, the Army Institute made efforts, and you made such a big fuss to conduct experiments. Now you are considered a backbone figure, and you keep shouting that you want to quit your job?
What beautiful things are you thinking about?
Not to mention that the experiment has achieved a little success this time, even if there is no success at all, if it fails two or three more times, it will not be possible for him to change his career.
You're on the field army's ship, and you want to run away when you encounter some setbacks. Are you dreaming?
The army has to spend a lot of resources to train a talent, so Chen Mo may not think it is a big deal.
But all the exercise data collected by so many armored units, and so many projects and graduation theses of the Army Academy, were read in vain?
"It's not your turn to farm. If you don't make any progress, you won't even be able to raise pigs."
"roll!"
Qin Quanan's furious curses released the anger in his heart.
"yes!"
Chen Mo was kicked out of the meeting room by the leader in disgrace.
In the corridor.
Chen Mo, who had a serious expression just now, immediately regained his composure, and even his walking posture was a little shaky.
As the saying goes, if the wind is right, even a pig can fly.
What's more, he is not a pig. Through this information camp experiment, he finally got to experience the thrill of being a battalion commander.
Even if it is only temporary, the joint camp will be disbanded after the exercise ends and return to normal track.
But this experience will definitely be of great help to his military career.
I finally became the battalion commander.
This majesty must be established.
Chen Mo did not rush to call all the companies together. He first ran to the office of the training department stationed in the base, retrieved the comprehensive performance scores of each company in the previous month, and printed out a copy.
Then all the lists compiled by each company at that time were integrated together.
After breakfast.
Chen Mocai arranged for people to call the company commanders and instructors of each company to gather in the base auditorium for a meeting.
This was the first time that the joint battalion had no leaders participating, but the meeting was initiated by the acting battalion commander.
Less than five minutes.
The armored battalion commander Liu Hongyun and the cadres of the three companies under his command, including the howitzer company commander Chen Haitao, the anti-aircraft artillery company commander Zhang Mingjian, the radar anti-aircraft artillery company commander Fu Xiangfei, the rocket artillery company commander Hu Xueyan, the logistics company commander Liang Hongjie, the reconnaissance company commander Cheng Dong, and the helicopter squadron commander Dong Kehao, were all present.
These people were the cadres who had fought against the 188th Division on the battlefield yesterday.
He couldn't say he was convinced by Chen Mo, the acting battalion commander, but he definitely didn't resist him either.
After everyone arrived.
The other cadres were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. After all, everyone would be part of the Second Class Meritorious Company in the future, and there was nothing more joyful than this.
Only Cheng Dong.
He usually acts like a gangster, but today he acts like a newly married young wife, sitting in a corner and smoking.
His face was full of unhappiness and a bit jealous.
After the meeting ended today, many scouts saw their company commander squatting behind a big tree in the training ground. He did not stand up and scold people as usual, nor did he join the group of veterans to brag like before.
Many veterans secretly speculated that their company commander was being petty again.
I didn't expect that the company commander, who is usually so carefree, is so fond of Xiucai, and the relationship between the two is so fragile.
It cannot withstand the test of revolution.
When a group of people were chatting happily, Chen Mo, Gao Jin and Liu Heli, three cadres who were temporarily appointed as battalion commander, deputy battalion commander and political instructor, pushed the door and walked into the auditorium.
All the cadres present at the meeting fell silent and looked at Chen Mo with burning eyes.
Fighting is fighting, and commanding is commanding.
Not to mention that Chen Mo wanted to establish his authority, even the people present wanted to see what this extremely young battalion commander relied on to lead such a large battalion-level unit.
As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to keep it.
For some cadres with command talent, it is not too difficult to command a small-scale battle, but this does not mean that such people can lead an army well.
In particular, those present were specially selected by the military district and were not ordinary companies gathered together casually.
And Chen Mo did not disappoint them.
As the person in charge of this training camp and the only cadre who reports to his superiors, Chen Mo bears a lot of pressure.
After arriving at the meeting room.
He changed his previous easy-going attitude, showing an almost cold expression, and strode to the speaking position at the front of the auditorium.
The auditorium of the training base is equipped with a blackboard.
Chen Mo didn't say a word of nonsense.
After coming in, he picked up the chalk and made a rough schedule on the blackboard, including the number of days for training, the date of departure for the northwest battlefield, and the time required for large-scale exercises.
Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes.
Chen Mo put down his pen, turned around, and supported himself on the podium with both hands: "Comrades, before the meeting begins, I would like to say a few words off topic."
"My name is Chen Mo, Erdong Chen, Mo by default, you can call me Xiucai."
"Just like the numbers behind me, if we gather together, we can only work together for a little over twenty days, probably no more than a month."
"After the Northwest completes its military exercise mission, all units will return to their previous normalcy. I just hope that during this period,
"All units put aside all thoughts and focus on training to prepare for the battle in the northwest."
"Comrades, do you understand?"
"clear!!"
The cadres on the scene were quite cooperative, standing up in unison and responding in unison.
"Okay, let's start the meeting now."
"I will just briefly mention three points. After the meeting is disbanded, each unit will have three hours to prepare before continuing on to Huanglongwanggou."
"First."
Chen Mo turned around and saw two big words: Construction.
"Let's continue with the usual topic. Informationization requires a lot of aspects. During the training period, the entire battalion must give full play to their subjective initiative and create a positive and good training atmosphere in the shortest possible time."
"Improve the efficiency of coordinated integration. As for information-based training methods, tactics, and operational training models, and how auxiliary combat units will cooperate, I will make detailed arrangements for these later."
"Comrades, we will have to change many aspects of our training. We must prioritize electromagnetic superiority, electronic reconnaissance, and air control. We don't have much time, so we must quickly change our outdated mechanized mindset. Modern warfare requires focusing on logistics, command, communications, and conducting beyond-visual-range strikes."
"Each company commander must, in the shortest possible time, get to know and become familiar with all the comrades under his command. Similarly, he must also maintain good relations with friendly neighboring units."
"Don't think I'm exaggerating. Once the training begins, since our system is incomplete, many company commanders present will probably have to carry at least three walkie-talkies in addition to their car radios to communicate with different units during combat."
"If you're not familiar with each other, you won't be able to communicate."
Listen to Chen Mo’s first request.
Many officers present couldn't help swallowing their saliva. A car radio was enough to command an entire company, especially with at least three walkie-talkies added.
That is to say, a company commander not only has to keep an eye on his own coordination, but also has to call on other units for cooperation at any time.
I'm afraid that cadres with slightly insufficient command capabilities will not be able to handle the situation.
Even if some people present still didn't quite understand what an information system was, at least at this moment, they had realized the information density required for the training, which was absolutely terrifying.
There were even many cadres whose brows were tightly furrowed. This kind of coordination sounded easy, but anyone who knew how to command would understand it.
That's basically impossible to accomplish by one person.
Why did the regimental unit have a staff committee? Even the later combined-arms battalions had chief of staff, firepower staff, etc., because this type of combined-arms training required too much from the commander.
It's a skill that few people can handle, as they can do four or more things at once.
Seeing that everyone's emotions were obviously fluctuating.
Chen Mo smiled, raised his hand and knocked on the podium, and said, "I know what you are worried about."
"Don't worry. The base has trained dozens of personnel from the academy in armored communications, staff, command science, military medicine, and other specialties."
"I will organize these people into groups one by one according to their specialties and assign them to your respective companies as company branch commanders to assist you in commanding them."
"second."
Chen Mo did not give the others a chance to discuss, and turned around to write: War Preparation
"Comrades, let's move on to the second point."
"During the camp construction period, in addition to training, all comrades must devote themselves to combat readiness work. I don't want to see anyone idle or lazy."
"Liu Min!"
"arrive!"
The female cadre arranged by the Shicheng Military Medical College stood up and responded in a clear voice.
"After the meeting, give all cadres a physical examination to check all aspects of their health to ensure that everyone is healthy. Remember to record everyone's weight."
"If I find anyone gaining weight during training, it's just because you're lazy. There's nothing to say."
Depend on! ! !
Hearing this weird request.
Many of the cadres present rolled their eyes. Recently, they often heard people calling the acting battalion commander a "dog scholar" in private, and some people didn't understand why.
Now, I finally have some experience.
But you have to admit it.
Although Chen Mo's method was strange, it really made many people suck in their stomachs subconsciously, and some were worried that they would suddenly gain weight.
But soon, the worry disappeared.
"During the combat readiness period, all officers and soldiers, including me, were required to run five kilometers every day carrying a 20-kilogram load and finish within 23 minutes."
"After this time, whether soldiers or cadres, all will leave our battalion and return to their original units. There will be no room for negotiation."
"You're running so slowly. When we get to the battlefield, I don't even expect you to kill the enemy. Even if you're a deserter, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape."
Hold! !
As soon as these words came out.
The faces of some of the cadres present turned dark. Who the hell is deserting?
Running five kilometers with a 20-kilogram load in 23 minutes has reached the excellent standard of the Army Training Syllabus.
Many of the soldiers can achieve this, but the cadres present may not.
But Chen Mo doesn't care about that.
The reason why he pulled out the assessment results of these companies from the training department's on-site office was to measure the average level of each company.
Since they dare to make such a rule, it is not nonsense.
He still said the same thing, during the training period, he didn't need subordinates who could think, he just needed soldiers who could execute orders.
The high-intensity training is not only for training obedience, but also because the informationized battalion is highly mobile on the battlefield and requires extremely high physical fitness of the soldiers.
If they haven't run away yet, the tanks can still withstand it, but the people are vomiting and having diarrhea, then there's no point in fighting.
He didn't even look at the cadres in the audience whose faces had turned black.
Chen Mo said to himself, "In addition to the training just now, starting tomorrow, at 5:00 sharp, all cadres must be in place for a routine meeting to review the shortcomings of yesterday's training and plan today's training arrangements."
After saying that, he found that the captain of the military medical team, Liu Min, was still standing.
Chen Mo looked over and said, "Captain Liu, your military medical team also participates in the request I mentioned above."
"Also, after the meeting, I'll give you three hours to submit a medical team charter plan to me and coordinate battlefield medical support training."
"Let me make a few points. Take note. The Informationized Battalion must change the current situation of mechanized combat where medical personnel are not accompanying the troops. When we conduct assaults, you must accompany us."
"We must be ready to provide combat casualties at all times. Our subjects focus on gunshot wounds, burns, organ damage, and fractures. I want every female member of the medical team to become a strong warrior."
"We are comrades fighting side by side on the battlefield, not mascots included in the logistics. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Liu Min moved her lips.
She wanted to refute, but facing Chen Mo now, she didn't have the courage for a moment.
As a top student who graduated from the Military Medical College, this was the first time she heard that the medical team would follow the troops on an assault mission.
In fact, this is also the biggest drawback of exercises in previous years. Although exercises are not actual combat, we cannot exclude all battlefield medical services during the combat process.
Once there is a war.
Can we make temporary adjustments?
Chen Mo didn't care about these things, let alone the fact that the medical team was composed of only female comrades.
A kind person cannot command an army, and a field army, when it comes to combat, is just so ruthless.
This is a battlefield, training for war, not playing house.
After the announcement of combat readiness.
Throughout the auditorium, the enthusiasm of all the officers was no longer as high as it was at the beginning.
There are training camps, running, and meetings every day. It sounds unbearable.
Chen Mo pondered for a moment. He didn't want to tie it so tightly, but could it be loose?
The leaders above have already set the departure time.
There was a pause.
Chen Mo looked up at Liang Hongjie: "Liang Pai."
"arrive!!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Hongjie immediately stood up and stood straighter.
"Count all the work in your logistics company and lay off two-thirds of the personnel. The other companies will go to Huanglongwanggou today, and your logistics company can lag behind."
"As for why the layoffs were made, I don't think I need to explain further, right?"
"During a maneuver training exercise, a 142 transport vehicle from the logistics department flipped over into a ditch, and the front of the vehicle was flattened. Don't think I didn't know."
"What caused that?"
"A logistics company of more than 400 people can't supply a battalion of more than 500 people?"
"If that's the case, the 188th Division has nearly 8,000 combat personnel. Does that mean they need 9,000 logistics personnel to handle it?"
"I want unified logistics and a unified supply chain. Lieutenant Liang, come up with a layoff plan and give me the list of names to be retained."
"I'll just reiterate, during this training period, if you disobey orders or commands, I can transfer you to civilian jobs right away."
"But I don't want to make things so awkward. Anyone who refuses to cooperate can just return to their original unit. I hope everyone will cooperate."
"The work for the day must be completed that day. I don't want to hear any loose ends during the training camp. What's the point of losing five cities today and ten cities tomorrow?"
"We only have six days left for intensive training. After six days, we will head to the northwest, where countless Type A divisions from the Jincheng Military Region are waiting for us."
"This time, there will be no restrictions and no mercy, so we must go all out!"
"Comrades, are you ready for battle?"
“Always be prepared!! Always be prepared!!”
In the auditorium, all the officers stood up and shouted loudly.
Chen Mo was not sure whether the first meeting would be successful.
But at least, he has established his position as a commander.
Wait until the roar gradually subsides.
Chen Mo waved his hand: "In the next few days, a new batch of tanks and drones will be shipped over."
"Captain Liu, please arrange for more veterans who can drive tanks to prepare. If the number is insufficient, transfer them from the Seventh Brigade. As long as they have experienced veterans."
"clear!!"
Liu Hongyun nodded.
"Company Commander!" Chen Mo looked up at Cheng Dong.
"Company Commander?"
"Hey! Are you calling me?" After calling twice in a row, Cheng Dong looked up at Chen Mo.
"Of course I'm calling you. You're the backbone of our battalion, responsible for both the reconnaissance and engineering detachments."
"Recently, we've arranged for the veterans in the company to learn from the squad leader in charge of drones. A reconnaissance company cannot do without drones."
"no problem!!"
Cheng Dong was easy to coax. When he heard that his mission was very important and that he would have access to drones, his dark face immediately brightened up.
"By the way, a group of people from the Arrow Special Forces Brigade under the Kyoto Military Region will soon be joining our battalion."
"By then, we can say that we are strong in both men and horses, and the northwest battlefield will be the battlefield where our brave men will gallop."
“That’s the third thing I want to say.”
As he said that, Chen Mo turned around and wrote on the blackboard: Code name.
"Since our battalion is about to start training, and since it is a temporary battalion and the comrades come from various units, it is impossible to have a unified number."
"But combat must have a code name."
"Everyone, think about it, what code name should we come up with?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who had just been under too much pressure from training and preparations immediately became active.
A bunch of naming idiots, each one more confident than the other, started talking nonsense with their mouths wide open.
"Our battalion has so many people, and we defeated the 188th Division. In my opinion, we should be called the Tiger Battalion."
"Fierce Tiger, that code name is too vulgar. Tigers and lions are so common. I think we should call it the Mountain Leopard Battalion."
"Damn it, tigers and lions are vulgar, but you, a leopard, are not vulgar? We should be called the Falcon Camp."
"I think the name Assassin Battalion sounds fierce."
"How fierce! If we want to talk about fierceness, we should call ourselves the Battle Battalion. They have the Battle Battalion, and we have the Battle Battalion."
"You sound inferior to the Battle Assault Division, and you're not even as powerful as the World's Number One Battalion."
“.”
The discussion was getting more and more outrageous.
Chen Mo raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, then turned around and wrote three big words on the blackboard: Blue Army Camp.
It would be better if he didn't write this.
As soon as it was written, many officers on the scene refuted it.
"Chen Ying, your name is too unlucky. The Blue Army will always lose in battle. It's unlucky to have such a name."
"Yes, it's not as good as my Battle Camp."
"The mountain artillery battalion is better."
Judging from the sound of the argument, it seems to be getting more and more intense.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Okay, our code name is Blue Army."
"I don't care what the Blue Army was like before. From now on, our Blue Army Battalion must become the most victorious battalion in the entire army."
"In the future, even if our battalion is disbanded, the name of the Blue Army will surely resound throughout the entire field army."
Chen Mo responded domineeringly.
After thinking about it for a while, the other cadres stopped objecting.
It may not be smooth to read at first, but it will become smoother as you read on, right?
The meeting was disbanded.
Chen Mo gave three hours of preparation time.
The Armored Battalion was busy holding meetings with its backbones and veterans, issuing training requirements for the Blue Army Battalion.
The reconnaissance company quickly arranged for people to learn about drones.
The logistics company began to be disbanded, and even the more than 20 female soldiers in the medical team began to stand on the training ground and give emergency speeches.
Everyone is busy.
Only Chen Mo climbed to the third floor alone. He leaned on the railing and looked at the busy crowd around him.
A sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously.
At least at this moment, the Blue Army Camp was established! !
Northwest battlefield.
It will definitely become the first stop to make a name for yourself.
