Chapter 264 Chapter 264 I was given a temporary order, but I seem to have been tricked by the battalion commander?
Let’s start with the basics. The orders will be given by Cheng Dong.
As an old cadre in charge of the general staff, Lao Cheng has rich experience. Even though the demonstration battalion has no deputy battalion commander, he is equivalent to the deputy battalion commander.
Finally freed from the requirement that the entire battalion should move out of the camp for every training session, the mechanized infantry company commander Xu Zhanqi and the tank company commander Qin Xiaojun immediately approached Chief of Operations Liu Hong to ask questions about training.
When they were in the Blue Army Camp, they studied under Liu Hongyun. Now that they are together again, they don’t feel any psychological pressure.
Lao Liu is not the kind of person who keeps things to himself.
The armored infantry company is just the name of the demonstration battalion.
To put it bluntly, the organization is still the same as the mechanized infantry company of other units, but the demonstration battalion has many types of troops and needs to coordinate, so it was specially changed to mechanized infantry to facilitate the identification of positions.
Under the arrangement of Liu Hongyun and the approval of Cheng Dong.
The armored infantry company took the map that the reconnaissance company had surveyed some time ago and selected an open space outside the academy.
The soldiers of the entire company went out with shovels and pickaxes to dig holes and bury targets, setting up the field for the submachine gunners to shoot on the move, the light machine gunners to shoot at enemy fire, and the high machine gunners to shoot at enemy fire.
The tank company's mission was similar. Led by new cadres, a group of soldiers went out with training ammunition to plan the site, practice loading ammunition, driving and other skills.
There is a reason why Chen Mo made such an arrangement.
Multiple arms require higher levels of coordination between units, and everyone is gathered together for training from the beginning. The performance of the entire battalion being fully equipped and dispatched is the best example.
It's just a simple gathering outside the camp.
Several companies worked together for a whole week, and the time was improved from the initial 57 minutes to the current 43 minutes.
It is difficult to go further.
You know.
Chen Mo's personal estimate was that it would only take 25 minutes for the entire battalion to be deployed, and that was for the entire battalion, not just half of the current size.
The reason for the unsatisfactory result.
Chen Mo had thought seriously about it privately. First, there was a lack of cadres with sufficient experience.
The soldiers are veterans, but they are not selected from the same unit. They have been in their own unit for a long time and have some skills in various aspects. They can quickly get started and adapt to any position they are assigned to.
But this does not mean that the positions assigned to them are fully in line with the professional capabilities of these veterans.
If the veteran does not take the initiative to apply.
The cadres themselves have little experience, so it will be difficult for them to discover the abilities of these soldiers, especially since they have little experience of their own.
The basic joint training, that is, the full battalion's equipment deployment, has led to the current eye-catching level.
43 minutes
To put it bluntly, with this level of performance, if we were to be pulled together for the annual military exercise, other units would probably have to run two miles out of the camp.
I haven't even counted all the heads on my side yet.
Therefore, Chen Mo arranged to start from the basics first, which was to give the cadres an opportunity and also to give the veterans in the company an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.
The joint training will only truly begin after appropriate job adjustments are made and the entire battalion has been mobilized and moved out of the camp and is able to achieve the expected goals.
From the perspective of strategic arrangement, Chen Mo’s idea is correct.
Building a camp.
When numerous difficulties come together, it is most important to sort out the clues. You can't become a big fat man in one bite, so there is nothing wrong with taking it slow.
But Chen Mo overlooked one point, which is also the most important point.
That is, the two companies of armored infantry and tanks are led by people with many veterans, not to mention reconnaissance and medical care. Even the electronic warfare group has experienced leaders.
The only problem is logistics.
now.
Look at the armored infantry company, driving one Type 89 armored vehicle after another, everyone holding a shovel and a pickaxe, marching out of the camp in a mighty manner against the afternoon breeze.
The tank company was equally vigorous and high-spirited, driving dozens of Type 85 main battle tanks out, along with the reconnaissance company and the medical team, all under the leadership of Hou Zhanye, pulling drones and hand-cranked drones out to try to control them.
Logistics Company Commander Liang Hongjie, with his hands hanging at his waist, looked at the scene with a confused look on his face.
A week ago.
The battalion commander assigned him a task, asking Lao Liang to select people from the mechanized infantry and tank companies to form a logistics support company.
Our Lao Liang is an honest man. He will carry out the task on the same day.
Every day I bought a lot of drinks, beer, melon seeds and cigarettes from my fellow villager’s strong army tank, and went to the two main companies every day to chat with the veterans.
Trying to recruit some backbone members from his own company.
The logistics support company will definitely incorporate the medical team into it later, but for now, before the formal framework begins, the cooking platoon, supply platoon, and maintenance platoon under the logistics support company should be set up first, right?
It's no exaggeration to say.
There are three artillery ranges in the entire West Campus. Although the two main companies have a lot of people, they are really the only ones with the most tanks.
The two companies combined did not have as many tanks allocated as the logistics company.
As a result, Lao Liang worked hard for a week, and the old soldier smoked a lot of cigarettes. The empty beer bottles were almost enough to cover a solitary confinement room, and the drinks were also sold out in boxes.
But no veteran was willing to join the logistics company.
The reason is nothing complicated.
Veterans are just experienced, not fools. The mechanized infantry and tank companies are certainly very tiring, not to mention the cultural classes every day, the training is also very exhausting.
But logistics will only make it more tiring.
In order to highlight the advantages of the informationized battalion, the cadres in the battalion often promote the fact that the battalion has many types of troops, a very high degree of mechanization, and greater mobility than conventional troops.
Promote it vigorously and highlight it vigorously.
The consequences of doing so will also trigger a series of reactions.
The battalion has many types of troops, which means that the required level of specialization is higher than that of regular troops. The logistics alone will have higher requirements for drivers, mechanics, medical personnel, etc.
If I go to logistics, I'm afraid I will have to study all kinds of subjects and take various cultural courses in turn.
A high degree of mechanization means a strong dependence on equipment. Usually a large number of vehicles and heavy equipment are required. If the work is not done properly, the entire logistics chain will be interrupted.
The entire demonstration camp has a large number of people, so the supply pressure will increase, the mobility efficiency will be high, the front line will be stretched, and the logistics must also complete rapid movement in daily work and respond to emergencies at any time.
After adding up all the expenses, those old soldiers ate, drank and smoked, and in the end it wasn't a good deal.
That's why they all declined Liang Hongjie's olive branch.
Of course, this does not mean that Liang Hongjie's work has not made any progress.
At least in the past week, he still pulled two people over.
One is Zhu Gaituan and the other is Feng Junling.
The two brothers were soldiers of the same year as Xiucai. They were recruits from Tao Village and their roommates were sent to the demonstration camp with the mentality of not causing trouble for Xiucai.
In fact, no matter who calls them, they will follow.
Now I see other companies driving tanks and carrying tools to carry out missions.
Zhu Gaituan turned his head to look at his own company. There was only a company commander and two soldiers. Nothing happened, and he felt a little unhappy.
"Company commander, do we need to go out for training together?" Zhu Gaituan asked cautiously.
"Training for what?"
"We don't need that." Lao Liang usually meets Xiucai, Lao Man, Cheng Dong, Fang Peijun and other capable people in the camp headquarters, and they are all very low-key in their behavior.
But when facing his only two soldiers, he became arrogant.
He waved his hand arrogantly: "Logistics has its own training methods. Go, each of you prepare a record book, and I will take you to learn about our company's configuration."
"Everyone, be serious. You will be the backbone of my company from now on."
"Yes, Captain!"
Zhu Gaituan and Feng Junling both stood at attention, responded loudly, and then turned and ran towards the dormitory area.
Wait until the two people run away.
Liang Hongjie took out a cigarette from his pocket, squatted on the ground, and smoked silently.
He was a top student who graduated from the Kyoto Armored Forces Academy. It could be said that in the entire battalion, except for Man Xuexue, whose academic qualifications surpassed Lao Liang, the rest had to stand aside.
When he led the Blue Army Camp, Xiucai had privately approached him and asked Liang Hongjie about his own wishes.
In the future development in the army, do you want to lead an armored company according to your profession, or choose another unit?
At that time, Lao Liang had graduated for nearly a year and had lost all the sharpness that young people should have in the reconnaissance company.
After all, the army is not a military academy. No matter what, the Kyoto Armored Forces Academy still retains some of the style of a university and has a strong cultural atmosphere.
In addition, with the continuous advancement of mechanization reform and the choice of a good major, Lao Liang, who is about to graduate, has infinite longing for grassroots troops.
I envision myself as a troop leader in the future, directing armored convoys in combat, gaining a foothold in this mechanized age, and serving my country.
What can I do?
I was assigned to the 7th Tank Division right after graduation, but within three months, the 7th Tank Division was disbanded and its designation was changed to the 7th Armored Brigade.
In view of Lao Liang's situation, the brigade originally planned to put him in the reconnaissance company to gain some experience, and after he picked up some habits of veterans, he would be promoted to deputy company commander.
Who would have thought that the atmosphere in the reconnaissance company was so fierce that everything depended on ability.
When a new cadre arrives in the company, unless he is a platoon leader who is promoted, no one will pay any attention to him.
I can't run faster than others, I can't even keep up with the shooting, let alone pass the training, I can't even persist with normal attempts.
Cheng Dong gave up and let him be a clerk. He never made any achievements, so he naturally had no chance of becoming a deputy company commander.
It was only after he met Chen Mo and saw that the training base was recruiting that Cheng Dong arranged him there, as a way to give Lao Liang an opportunity for promotion.
Chen Mo also took good care of him and gave him the position of a team leader to give him some training.
But plans can never keep up with changes.
The training base had not been fully operational yet when the Northwest Military Exercise began. At that time, Chen Mo asked Lao Liang which company he wanted to lead, but Liang Hongjie didn't have any intention of leading any.
My spirit has been worn out.
In the end, Chen Mo made the decision to transfer him to the logistics company with the most cadres and company commanders.
Because each unit that came from the Blue Army Camp had its own logistics, the system can be said to be very complete.
In the past, Liang Hongjie was nominally the company commander, but there was more than one company commander, and he was just an honorary title given to others for learning.
Now, he is the only one left in the logistics department, and he went to another unit to study some time ago.
The scholar handed over the logistics to him again.
Liang Hongjie has reached a point where he has no way out and must shoulder this burden.
It is easier said than done.
Only two soldiers were recruited in a week, and they were general soldiers who knew nothing about football. Liang Hongjie was in trouble himself and couldn't go to the battalion headquarters to complain.
I can only grit my teeth and hold on.
He had already made a plan. Even though there were only three people in the logistics support company, he had to take the two soldiers to the vehicle and artillery range to explain the organization of all the vehicles to them.
Be familiar with the procedures of the support camp.
When there is an opportunity, continue to recruit people from other companies.
At least, before Xiucai removes him, Liang Hongjie cannot let down this trust.
. . . . . . . . . .
The other side.
After Chen Mo returned to the office, he kept thinking about the organization charter of the entire camp.
The training of existing companies is the top priority, as for information equipment, air defense companies, grenade companies, long-range rocket artillery companies, etc.
If these are not started or are not needed, it is redundant to consider them.
There are a lot of people in the armored infantry and tank companies, so Chen Mo plans to split out the excess personnel from these two companies in the near future and add them to the engineering company and the logistics company.
Since expansion is necessary, it will inevitably involve the establishment of new units, the functions of each individual soldier, and the coordination of firepower equipment.
Even with two companies as a foundation, expanding the company is still challenging.
There's nothing I can do.
Although the demonstration camp has a large number of cadres, there are too few people who are available, or those who have been trained to take on important responsibilities.
Many of them are student soldiers who have just graduated from college and hold the rank of officers.
Not to mention the distant past, Chen Mo has always known something about Liang Hongjie's embarrassing situation.
After all, as a battalion commander, it would be a dereliction of duty if he couldn't even notice this problem.
Let’s not talk about Lao Liang’s problem.
The military district only assigned one political cadre to the battalion, and other companies, except the reconnaissance company, had no instructors.
There are so many cadres, but they just can't fill this vacancy. Currently, several companies share one instructor.
The comfort work was done by instructor Fang Peijun and reconnaissance company instructor Huo Linshan.
After sitting in the office in vain, Chen Mo looked up and saw Cheng Dong and Man Xuexi sitting on the sofa in his office, each holding a large porcelain jar and drinking water.
Chen Mo asked, "Company Commander, have all the companies arranged their afternoon training?"
"It's arranged."
When Cheng Dong heard the question, he quickly put down the porcelain jar and said, "Old Liu is watching. I just came over to ask if there is anything else I need to pay attention to."
"Um."
Chen Mo put the cap on his pen, then stood up, picked up the teacup, and filled a glass of water for himself, gulping down a few mouthfuls. "I don't have any idea about the expansion plan yet."
"But starting from the basics, regular training work cannot be neglected. Battalion Commander Liu has experience in this area, and the General Staff must also coordinate and keep good records."
"It would be best if the General Staff developed a detailed outline based on the arrangements for the two companies. We've just started, and the amount of comprehensive training in the later stages will be quite large. Since we're building a training ground, we should also include the tank special obstacle course, the armored coordinated tactical field, and the infantry unit training field."
"OK!"
Cheng Dong nodded and wrote it down carefully.
"Of course, work is work."
Chen Mo stretched his uniform and continued, "Although summer is over, the officers of each company and squadron must remind them at all times."
"Summer and autumn training are the busiest periods for field troops, and are also when safety accidents are most likely to occur. According to statistics from the 63rd Army over the past three years, 78% of training accidents occurred during this period."
“So, safety awareness is a must.”
"Officers at all levels, from me down to the soldiers below, must take this seriously and keep this in mind at all times. If carelessness leads to a safety accident, I'm sorry, and those responsible will not be spared."
"yes!"
Seeing Xiucai getting into work mode, Cheng Dong couldn't sit still any longer. He quickly put down his water cup and stood up: "Anything else to add?"
"No, I'll go check out the training grounds too."
Chen Mo straightened his military uniform and turned to look at Man Xuexue, who was curled up on the sofa. "Old Man, come with me."
"Okay!"
The three of them came downstairs.
Cheng Dong is an impatient person. As long as there is something to do, he will be as busy as ever and cannot stay still for even a second.
I hurried back to the West Campus to drive.
At this time, most of the soldiers in the academy had already gone out, and it was a rare quiet time.
Chen Mo was not too anxious.
He walked with Lao Man, and the two of them talked and laughed as they walked towards the gate of the west campus.
When passing the edge of the training ground.
Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Mo noticed someone strolling around next to the heavy trucks and tractors in the artillery field, holding something in his hand.
Look closely.
Then I found out that it was Liang Hongjie, who was busy climbing up and down several cars with Zhu Gaituan and Feng Junling.
"How many people are there in Captain Liang's logistics department now?"
Chen Mo suddenly turned around and looked at Man Xuexi.
"Three, right? There are three of us in total, including Captain Liang." Man Xuexue responded with some surprise. The main reason was that Chen Mo asked too suddenly and the topic jumped too much.
"Only three in total?"
Chen Mo frowned. He knew that the logistics situation was not optimistic, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.
In the past few days in the camp, many veterans drank soda, beer, and ate snacks such as melon seeds from time to time. Chen Mo always knew that it was Liang Hongjie who provided them.
But he rarely asked.
After all, everyone needs to grow and cannot be interfered with too much. Even if this method is inappropriate or even wrong, as long as it does not cause bad reactions, Chen Mo can let it go.
But with three people, isn't that too inefficient? Or is it not efficient at all?
Chen Mo pondered for a moment and walked towards the artillery field.
Liang Hongjie was originally leading his two young men to identify and check the logistics vehicles.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching in the quiet environment. Lao Liang looked up and saw that it was the scholar.
He hurriedly called Zhu Gaituan and the other man, put on their military uniforms, got off the car, lined up, and saluted!
“Hello, Battalion Commander!!”
"Um."
Chen Mo returned the greeting with a smile, walked up and patted the shoulders of two soldiers of the same year as a greeting, then looked at Liang Hongjie.
"How is the formation of the logistics company going?"
"Captain Xiu, my progress is a bit slow." Liang Hongjie sighed inwardly, what he feared would come true.
Even if he now had a platoon of people, temporarily forming a transport platoon, it wouldn't be so embarrassing.
However, since the battalion commander had asked, he could only bite the bullet and say, "At the moment, there are only Xiao Zhu and Jun Ling."
“Two people?!!”
Chen Mo deliberately put on a look of surprise and turned to look at Man Xuexi: "Old Man, how is your staff department arranging its work? The logistics department has been set up for a week, and they recruit one soldier every three days on average. Why is there no one reporting?"
"Captain, I'm not too sure about this either."
Man Xuexue was a little confused by the question: "Liang has been buying snacks and food and drinks and circulating them among the companies recently."
"There were only two of them in total. I only found out about this after the other companies had just left."
Man Xuexi spread his hands, his face full of innocence.
"That's the dereliction of duty of your General Staff."
Chen Mo's face turned grim: "Logistics is such an important organization, we must always pay attention to it."
"You've pretty much gotten enough experience in the General Staff. I'll leave the task of forming the logistics supply platoon to you."
"Supply Platoon, Transport Platoon, these two units, I want to see results in the shortest possible time."
"that's all."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he turned around and left, and his steps were quite brisk.
Only Lao Man was left standing there, blinking and looking at the pair of hesitant generals and the company commander with a somewhat soft personality in front of him.
Man Xuexi felt a pang of grief in his heart. Damn, the most difficult part of the entire logistics system to set up is the supply platoon.
He always felt that this temporary order was a bit like being tricked by the battalion commander?
And this feeling is getting stronger and stronger!
