Chapter 265: 8034 data, there is still a lot of room for growth
Since arriving at the demonstration camp, Man Xuexi has always been a punch-in type. All day long, he either runs around with Cheng Dong or learns how to lead troops with Chen Mo.
For him, it would be best if the entire battalion's organization work went smoothly and the power of the informationized battalion could be seen in a short period of time.
At the Academy of Military Science, he can also do basic reporting work with his tutors, which is a good opportunity to gain experience.
But who would have thought.
The battalion commander's words led to his being sent to the logistics support company.
You should know that the entire logistics company is composed of four platoons: a cooking platoon, a medical platoon, a supply platoon, and a maintenance platoon.
The most difficult one is the supply platoon. Now, not only has their rank been demoted, but their tasks have also become heavier.
Lao Man turned his head with a resentful look in his eyes and looked at Chen Mo. At this time, the battalion commander had already strode thirty meters away.
There was a hint of panic in the figure as if he had left.
"Comrade Man Xuexue, welcome to the logistics company. On behalf of the entire company, I extend a warm welcome to you."
Liang Hongjie raised his hand and applauded.
Behind him, Zhu Gaituan and Feng Junling hurriedly followed suit and clapped.
Compact and thin applause rang out at the artillery field.
Man Xuexi could only stand at attention and salute, saying with a bitter face: "Hello, Company Commander!"
"Hey! You're so polite."
Liang Hongjie returned the greeting with a smile, then pointed to the two people behind him and said, "From now on, you will be the supply platoon leader. Our company is not very well manned at the moment. How about picking one of these two people?"
To be honest, Liang Hongjie is a very generous person.
He recruited two people in a week and was willing to give one to Man Xueli. Lao Liang was really generous and sincere.
But the problem is, even if these two soldiers were given to Lao Man, he wouldn't be able to use them.
What is a supply platoon?
The usual task is to manage the procurement, storage and distribution of the entire camp.
Once war breaks out, all members of the platoon will be responsible for providing ammunition and supplies to the entire battalion. For such a large battalion, the firepower output depends entirely on logistics.
The demonstration battalion is no different from other units. It has to be redeployed and is facing the watchful eyes of the other six military regions. How can it be free from fighting?
Considering these aspects, the supply platoon cannot have just ordinary soldiers, and all members must be veterans who have experienced many battles.
When it comes to serious matters, I will never let you down.
Think of this.
Man Xuexue responded righteously: "Thank you for your kindness, Captain. However, since I have come to the logistics company and serve as the platoon leader of the supply platoon, I cannot rely solely on the captain for help."
"Don't worry, Captain. I will complete the task of forming the supply platoon in the shortest possible time."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Liang Hongjie reached out and patted Man Xuexi's shoulder.
Lao Man is a man of action.
He would not stay in the artillery field during training and do boring things like getting familiar with the tanks.
The entire supply platoon is equipped with nothing more than conventional equipment such as tankers, ordinary trucks, heavy trucks, power supply trucks, jeeps, etc.
What's there to know?
Seeing Lao Man finish his report and leave, Zhu Gaituan smacked his lips and suddenly became full of confidence in their support company.
"Company commander, Platoon Leader Man should be quite capable, right?" Zhu Gaituan asked casually.
"That's right. He has the highest academic qualifications in the entire battalion, and it's my turn next. Since the scholar sent him here, it must have been after careful consideration."
Liang Hongjie is a man of good temper. Even if a private praises a platoon leader in front of him, Liang thinks that the other person is right.
But because Liang Hongjie was too weak, it also caused trouble for Man's study and work.
A few days ago, Lao Liang spent more than a month's salary to treat people in the camp to smoking and drinking beer every day, hoping to recruit people to the logistics company.
Putting this kind of thing on the table for resolution will only block the way to recruit people later.
During the period of joint construction of the entire battalion, since I had clearly expressed from the beginning that I did not want to go to logistics, it would be difficult to force me to study.
Just when I was thinking about how to get people from those two companies.
Before he knew it, he had reached the gate of the West Campus. At this time, Cheng Dong and Chen Mo had already gone to the training ground outside.
Lao Man met Wang Songhe strolling out of the East Campus.
The entire demonstration camp has always kept a respectful distance from this old fellow, a division-level cadre whose rank is the same as that of the non-commissioned officers' academy.
At least that's the case for cadres.
"Hello, Chief!"
Man Xueji stood at attention on the side of the road and salute!
"Um."
At first, Wang Songhe just nodded and didn't intend to say anything. He came here to study and wouldn't stay for long.
I'm thinking of checking out the training methods at the demonstration camp here.
After walking a few steps, Lao Wang remembered the young man in front of him, who was a top student working at the grassroots level of the Academy of Sciences. He once wanted to bring this person back to the Jincheng Military Region.
Recently, everyone in the camp has been very busy and no one cares about me. Even that bastard Xiucai avoids me.
It's rare to have time to chat.
Wang Songhe raised his hand and waved to Man Xuexue, saying with a smile, "Are you going to the field training ground?"
"Yes, Chief!"
"Well, let's go for that one."
"yes!"
Man Xuexi responded properly and walked half a meter behind Lao Wang.
After walking over a hundred meters, Wang Songhe smiled and said, "The Kyoto Demonstration Camp has now reached the most difficult part."
"Xiao Man, do you think that a battalion-level unit with so many different types of troops can be effectively built? With the capabilities of your staff, can you command such a large mixed battalion?"
"Let's not even mention the unformed engineering company, howitzer company, air defense company, and long-range rocket artillery company."
"Just the armored troops, mechanized infantry, infantry, scouts, medics, maintenance personnel, logistics, and so many other arms gathered in a battalion-level unit is almost comparable to a motorized infantry division. Can your battalion-level headquarters command such a large-scale mix of arms?"
It is not unreasonable for Wang Songhe to have such doubts.
In conventional combat, even if their 61st Division arranges troops to fight, they will mobilize infantry, armored troops, artillery, and various firepower to mix together.
Because of the single type of troops, going to the battlefield is seeking death.
However, when mobilizing the main force at the division level, there is a large staff group to make plans, experienced regimental commanders to cooperate in command, and a basis for repeated simulations.
However, a battalion-level unit has to accommodate so many types of troops, and its level limits it from having a very strong staff, let alone a very experienced commander.
The group level is too small to be used as the main force, but it cannot be the main force, and it has to give up the advantage of leading a single type of soldier.
Instead, he chose the most difficult path. This is what has always been strange about Wang Songhe.
The Blue Army Battalion was indeed powerful at the time, but Wang Songhe attributed all of that to himself, including the fact that all the Blue Army troops did not understand the combat methods of the informationized battalion at the time.
He always believed that as long as he understood, he might be able to control himself, right?
Hearing about the discussion of professional issues, Man Xuexue thought for a moment and said, "Commander, I don't understand the issues related to informatization either."
"In fact, many units in the Academy of Sciences, Shimen Army Academy, and Kyoto Military Region have not yet finalized their plans for the construction of an informationized force."
"For the Academy of Sciences, the Xiangjian Special Forces Brigade is already a fully-fledged information-based brigade, possessing both information technology and combat capabilities."
"As for the Shimen Army Academy, the Military Region, and the headquarters, as far as I know, they don't agree with the scale of the Xiangjian. Some want to form a separate information-based unit with information-based capabilities but with the ability to replicate infinitely. Xiangjian obviously doesn't meet the requirements for unlimited replication."
"However, some believe that the informationized forces are a fourth branch of the military, which can be non-combat-capable and exist solely as auxiliary forces, complementing other main forces."
After listening to the analysis, Wang Songhe nodded slightly.
He knew something about these things.
"Then which type is your Kyoto Demonstration Camp?" Wang Songhe was a little curious.
“Neither of those.”
Man Xuexue shrugged and smiled, "That's why the Academy of Sciences is paying attention to this."
"The Kyoto Demonstration Camp and the previously disbanded Information Camp have overturned the ideal status quo of each of the aforementioned academic disciplines, while also combining the advantages of several of these concepts."
"It is both combat-capable and replicable, and crucially, it can also operate in conjunction with friendly forces."
"I guess this is why the military district strongly advocates it."
When Man Xuexue was expressing his views, he already saw the figure of the battalion commander in the distance.
Even though Chen Mo had just tricked him.
But Lao Man always felt that this was the battalion commander training him again.
"Commander, you just asked me if the demonstration battalion can mobilize so many troops. I think you overlooked one point."
"The demonstration battalion is originally a mechanized combination. The multi-service arms are also due to the factor of informationization. It is precisely because of the intervention of informationized equipment that we can achieve multi-service combined operations within smaller units."
That makes sense!
Wang Songhe's eyes lit up when he heard this.
His thinking has always been obsessed with battalion-level units, which cannot accommodate so many types of troops, but he has overlooked the most obvious and intuitive reason - the scale of informatization.
"Xiao Man, what about you?"
Lao Wang realized that Man Xuexue was a rare talent. After the main force of the Jincheng Military Region's military exercise withdrew from the northwest to its base, it would inevitably respond to the requirements of the General Staff.
At the same time, an information camp was established.
This guy with the surname Man is no weaker than that dirty and scoundrel scholar.
He wanted to ask Manxuexi if he wanted to follow him back to the 61st Division, but before he could finish his words, Manxuexi ran straight towards Chen Mo.
Chen Mo's side.
A small meeting was held outside the tank company's training ground, and the company was urged to ensure that safety work was carried out seriously.
The meeting had just ended when I turned around and saw Lao Wang and Lao Man coming together from the direction of the college.
"battalion commander!"
Man Xuexi grinned and greeted him.
Chen Mo glanced sideways at the back and found that Lao Wang didn't come over. He didn't move, just nodded and said in surprise: "Didn't I give you the task of supply platoon?"
"What are you doing here if you have nothing to do?"
"I want to work, too." Man Xuexue raised his hand and scratched his head. "But there's no one on campus right now. They're all working in the field training ground."
"Battalion Commander, Captain Liang has already asked everyone in the company. I'm going to set up the supply platoon now. What should I do?"
This is the advantage of studying. When he has no idea, he will not be like Liang Hongjie, who does not speak or ask for help.
However, Chen Mo never gives direct advice to such inquiries.
Cadres also need training. You can't just eat a lot when you are told to, and not eat when you are not told to, right?
He held his belt with both hands and paced around the edge of the training ground, watching the soldiers of the tank company smash obstacles into the ground.
Most people at the scene were busy.
Man Xuexi followed Chen Mo for a full half hour, during which time he offered him five or six cigarettes, until Chen Mo could hardly smoke any more.
He finally spoke, "Why have you been following me? Go and figure out how to form your supply platoon."
"The whole camp is busy, but you are the only one sitting idle?"
"Hey, Captain, I just have a question." Man Xuexue raised his hand and scratched his dark head in a simple and honest manner: "If you were asked to form this supply platoon, what would you choose to do?"
Ha! You're putting the blame on me!
Chen Mo smiled. He had no intention of exposing Lao Man's little thoughts. He pointed to some soldiers in the distance who were tired from work and were sitting on the ground to rest.
"If I were the supply platoon leader, I would take this opportunity to find these comrades who are resting and conduct background checks on them, in the name of the General Staff."
"It would be best to fill out a form and slowly collect the expertise of each comrade, then make a unified list of those who are originally in logistics or are suitable for transfer to logistics."
Wonderful!
Man Xuexi's eyes lit up. How come he didn't think of such a simple operation?
"And then, Captain?"
"Then?"
Chen Mo stretched out two fingers and shook them. Lao Man immediately understood. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out one and put it in the battalion commander's hand, and even helped to light it.
"Then we took advantage of the other side's training and recruited more people on the list to drive logistics vehicles and take on the supply platoon's tasks."
"When you're supplying the platoon during non-wartime, your job is nothing more than purchasing, transporting, and distributing supplies. It's easier than training. Can't you handle such a small task?"
Man Xuexue suddenly realized something and quietly stuffed the remaining half box of cigarettes in his hand into Chen Mo's pocket.
He really learned a lesson!
"Then, Captain, I've never led troops before, and these are all veterans. The supply platoon must be composed of at least fifty men. How am I supposed to lead them?"
This is true.
Chen Mo thought about it carefully before he said slowly, "Lao Man, remember, when you lead soldiers in the army, especially at the grassroots level, you must fear power rather than virtue."
"Lieutenant Liang's method doesn't work. That's the problem. Try to understand it with your heart and do your best to be a good platoon leader."
Said.
Chen Mo pointed at the busy veterans nearby and said, "Back in our battalion, no one knew each other. It was quiet all day long, and the people in each class didn't communicate much."
"How do we finally break this quiet status quo?"
"I know. That's not a fight with the armed police."
Man Xuexi nodded. At that time, he asked his classmates from the Academy of Sciences to call the military district patrol team, and only then did he successfully trick the patrol team over.
Of course he knew the whole story.
"That's right." Chen Mo remained noncommittal. "Leading soldiers requires skill. Captain Liang's method is only suitable for new recruits. For a veteran like this, it's better to lead him to steal beer once than to treat him to a hundred beers."
"With shared experiences, the cohesion of your supply platoon will be formed unconsciously."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he raised his hand and patted Lao Man on the shoulder.
Steal beer. Steal beer.
Man is quite good at grasping the key points in his studies and keeps repeating them over and over again.
"Damn it, I was just using an analogy. We didn't buy any beer in logistics."
Chen Mo rolled his eyes and scolded helplessly. This Lao Man is usually not very smart, why does he become dull when talking about leading troops?
The problem is that Chen Mo didn't even think about the fact that his unorthodox ways were totally out of tune with this era.
No matter how good a person is at studying, it is impossible for him to have a crooked head since childhood.
"Captain, I know there's no beer." Man Xuexue laughed dryly, "But I can't bring my men to pick a fight with the Armed Police Corps, can I?"
"The reconnaissance company can win, but the people I picked for logistics may not be so sure. Don't go all the way there and get beaten up."
"How stupid."
Chen Mo shook his head. "The supply platoon needs to be established, so you need dormitories, right? Let's do some landscaping on the west campus and set up your platoon's space."
"If there are no trees left, go and coordinate some. If there are no flowers left, go and dig some somewhere else. If you have the ability, carry the gate of the Armed Police Corps headquarters back to me, and I will make you the company commander of logistics tomorrow."
"Is there such a bizarre way to get promoted?"
Man Xuexi rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief, but if someone else said this, he would definitely not believe it.
If the battalion commander said it, it's probably true.
Watching Chen Mo walk away, Man Xuexue hurried back to the academy to prepare the memorization form.
I have to admit it.
Many times, the battalion commander is the battalion commander, and the movement of his eyes indicates his ideas.
Just now, it was a huge problem for the logistics support company. Even Lao Man himself had no idea how to solve it, but it was solved with just a few words from the battalion commander.
There is still a lot of room for improvement for me.
Chen Mo just gave some pointers on logistics matters without paying too much attention to them.
After all, logistics companies in non-wartime are indeed not given much attention.
Chen Mo spent the entire afternoon inspecting the outer areas of the armored infantry and tanks, supervising the work of the cadres of each company and urging them to perform their duties.
It was not until the evening that all the companies returned to the West Campus and Chen Mo walked to the gate.
Wang Jianbin, who was in charge of forming the electronic countermeasures team, ran over hurriedly with several documents in his hands.
"Scholar, where have you been for most of the day?"
"Hurry up, this is the data sent from the 8034 Arsenal, take a look."
The 8034 Arsenal is the factory that produces the Type 98 main battle tank, and the tanks arrived a few days ago.
But the new weapons have clear requirements, and they must be used before the engineers send back clear data or before the engineers arrive at the camp.
All units are not allowed to use these new equipment privately to avoid uncontrollable accidents.
Many models of the Type 98 main battle tank were not put into service in the past, but were only in production and testing. Chen Mo was not familiar with them.
So, he ordered to wait.
Now that the paper data has been transmitted, it means that the field testing of the new generation of main battle tanks has been handed over to the demonstration camp.
The Type 95 rifle caused a sensation at the time.
What’s more, it is a big guy weighing dozens of tons.
Liu Hongyun and many cadres who were nearby gathered around. The new tanks were parked in the vehicle and artillery field every day, and people could only look at them but not touch them. For most people, this was torture.
Seeing that a group of people were very excited, Chen Mo simply handed the A4 paper document in his hand to everyone.
"Old Wang, you should have seen it. Please describe it orally."
"Yeah, okay!"
Wang Jianbin's face was also full of excitement, because their firecrackers didn't have such a big one.
"Scholar, this time I really made it."
"According to the data, the new tank is an information-based tank that can launch surface-to-air missiles and can rely on ground formations to fight against attack helicopters."
"The onboard computers can also manage fleet formations and network integration, enabling simultaneous sharing and exchange of battlefield information and automatic real-time firepower allocation. This is even more advanced than a cross-linked satellite positioning system."
Chen Mo nodded slightly after hearing this.
Although he was not very familiar with this batch of Type 98, he was still unsure which generation of Type 99 main battle tank it was.
But listen to this performance.
It is definitely not worse than Russia's T90. In terms of weapons manufacturing, it has gradually caught up.
Entering the ranks of major military powers!!
