Chen Ming came out of the staff department, clutching documents in his hands, and strode towards the conference room. He kept adjusting his mind on the way there, forcing himself to suppress the entire day's experience and not think about it. He wanted to arrange the follow-up changes to the Tiger Wolf Camp as soon as possible.
The plan couldn't keep up with the change. Chai Yansong said that he shouldn't worry about getting married. How could he not worry about it?
It's hard for him to just sit idly by even when his parents are in trouble.
Besides, Chai Shuyao’s parents haven’t met yet, and the family members don’t recognize them fully. If I don’t worry, I might not be able to justify it due to etiquette.
Therefore, when the brigade commander asked him to take annual leave just now, Chen Ming did not shirk. Once the matter came, just do it. There was no point in delaying it.
"Crack!"
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and all the backbones and cadres of the third battalion, more than forty people, turned to look at him.
Obviously, before Chen Ming came, his little secrets had been thoroughly studied by these people.
"Commander Chen, I just heard from the battalion commander that you want to take leave?"
"You must send out invitations when you get married. You can't do it without saying a word."
"Congratulations, Staff Officer Chen."
"Old Chen, don't be so stingy. Please introduce your wife. I heard from the battalion commander that the person you are marrying is tall, very beautiful and is an officer of the Propaganda Department. I have never heard of it before."
"Yes, the battalion commander also said that you went to Jinling today to meet my father-in-law."
"That's right, the battalion commander just said it."
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room. Many cadres from the company didn't know that Chen Ming was not at the battalion headquarters today. After calling the meeting and asking each other, they found out that he had gone on a blind date.
Everyone's heart was burning with gossip and they were asking joking questions. The atmosphere was quite lively.
Only Battalion Commander Du Longfei's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Damn, he didn't say a word when he arrived in the conference room. Who knows where they heard the news from, and they all put the shit basin on their heads.
Instructor Zhang Jintao sat aside and grinned happily. In addition to being serious about business, the Tiger Wolf Camp often trained and supervised together in private, and the relationship was quite good.
It's normal to make a few jokes now and then.
Du Longfei's head was banged by the excrement pot. In the end, he couldn't listen any more, so he reached out and knocked on the conference table.
"Damn it, I said everything, why don't I remember what I said so much?"
"Shut up, everyone. Since Lao Chen is here, let him introduce you first."
"Everyone applaud, let's celebrate our Staff Chen."
Snap, snap, snap.
As soon as Du Longfei finished speaking, a burst of warm applause erupted in the conference room.
See this situation.
Chen Ming could only put down the document in his hand first, smiled and raised his hand to press it down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Okay, okay, I haven't seen you so active when talking about serious business. Whenever something off-topic comes up, each of you is more excited than the other."
"Well, the battalion commander is right. I did take a day off today and went to Jinling to finalize the marriage."
"It will be within the past three months, or the marriage should be completed within a month."
"Wow, is it true? Whose girl is so lucky? I also plan to introduce my cousin to you."
"Damn it, uncle, your cousin told me to introduce her to me a few months ago, but ended up cheating me out of several packets of Chinese money. In the end, nothing happened."
"Damn it, Lao Fang is a beast. His cousin also said that he would introduce him to me. Who knows if this grandson has a cousin."
"Counsel Chen, why have I never heard you mention your partner before, nor have I seen your partner come to you? How come you got married so soon?"
"Have you prepared the wedding candies?"
"Okay, okay, everyone, listen to me first." Chen Ming pressed his hands helplessly, seeing that if this situation is not explained clearly today, it may be difficult for the meeting to return to normal.
Anyway, facing the brothers in his camp, there is nothing to hide.
Chen Ming simply sorted out his words and said with a smile: "What, um, the person you are getting married to is probably none of you have ever seen him. He is an officer of the Information Department of the Cultural Propaganda Department of the Eastern Theater Command."
"Good job, sir. The people in the Propaganda Department work relatively freely. They can come and visit our troops at any time." One of the company commanders nodded seriously.
"Old Chen is telling me the important point. I am so envious of these guys. Is Mr. Chai a member of the family of a certain leader?" Du Longfei sat next to him and started to make trouble with a smile.
The chief’s family? ! ! !
This sentence was no less than a bombshell dropped in the conference room, and everyone looked at Chen Ming.
Good guy, he is really silent at ordinary times, but whenever he makes some noise, he is the one who makes a big splash.
To be called a commander by a battalion commander, at least he must be someone from the brigade headquarters, right?
Facing the probing gazes of a group of guys, Chen Ming nodded slightly, "That's right, well, I did go to the chief's house today to finalize the matter."
"Which chief's daughter is rich?"
"The granddaughter of Chai Yansong, political commissar of our Eastern Theater Command Headquarters, Chai Shuyao."
Wow! ! !
Even Du Longfei and Zhang Jintao, who were the first to have inside information, were shocked and opened their mouths wide when they heard who Chen Ming was going to marry.
Chai Shuyao, no one here really knew this name. After all, he was just a propaganda officer in the war zone, and the distance was too far.
Let alone a war zone, even if it is a military region or even a brigade propaganda officer, many of them cannot fully recognize it.
But Chai Yansong, the political worker in the Eastern Theater Command, was recognized by almost everyone present.
In other words, there won’t be anyone who hasn’t seen it.
The camp organizes watching news broadcasts every day, and occasionally watches military programs afterward. As one of the five theaters, the Eastern Theater Command is the most powerful theater and is equally powerful, so it receives quite a few interviews.
This kind of person who is usually out of reach for them actually has a descendant who is going to be married to Staff Officer Chen in their camp? ? ?
If you say that, wouldn't it mean that Staff Chen will also call this big boss grandpa in the future?
After everyone in the conference room got the news, they felt a sigh of relief. Some were envious, some were shocked, some found it unbelievable, and some took it for granted. Of course, more people were a little bit jealous.
I can't help but be jealous, this is such a great supporter.
Of course, jealousy is jealousy, and they also know that this kind of family is not accessible to ordinary people. Even if the opportunity is given to them, most of them will not be able to grasp it.
After waiting for the sound of the discussion in the conference room to slowly decrease, Chen Ming continued: "Okay, let's not mention this matter for now."
"Let me talk about the follow-up arrangements first. Since I have personal matters to deal with, I will take 20 days of annual leave in a week."
"At present, our third battalion has just been assigned a designation. It is time to make achievements. I will first arrange our subsequent establishment."
Let’s get down to business.
Everyone in the conference room quickly put away the posture of the discussion just now, opened the meeting minutes book, and prepared to record.
Chen Ming looked at the battalion commander and found that Du Longfei had no intention of speaking. He nodded and said, "Some time ago, I mentioned that the armored infantry company would be reorganized into a firepower company."
"This is just the first step, and I have already reported to the brigade headquarters about the firepower company, and it will start in the next two days."
"If we want to disrupt our existing company organization, we must divide the positions and disperse the entire battalion into dozens or even hundreds of small combat units, and then organize them together to form a composite company."
"Each combat company of this kind of formed company is equivalent to a micro-synthetic battalion. After the division of posts, our entire battalion will no longer have an armored infantry company."
"In addition, the infantry units under the tank company and artillery company are all divided into firepower companies to form our strongest firepower company on the ground."
"Or strictly speaking, there is no problem in calling it an armored composite company. Armored defense is still the main task of the firepower company, but it also has the capabilities of close-air strike, air defense, and air interception of firepower."
"This can, to a certain extent, make up for the weakness of the armored force having no ability to fight back when it encounters the aviation regiment."
"In terms of air defense, the Tiger Wolf Battalion will replace a batch of equipment in the near future and add two more platoons of firepower, namely the long-range fire platoon and the decapitation missile platoon I mentioned before."
"As the saying goes, synthesis is important but difficult to synthesize."
"Our Tiger Wolf Battalion is no longer the five battalions it once was. It only needs to be anchored under the mixed brigade and mixed with a reinforced medium-sized amphibious synthetic battalion, and everything will be fine."
"We are now the new Strategic Assault Division, the only fully-staffed battalion at present. It is no exaggeration to say that the combat capabilities of the subsequent Strategic Assault Division will depend on the combat effectiveness of our Tiger Wolf Battalion in the early stage."
"Pioneers naturally have the mission of being a pioneer."
"Do you understand?"
"clear!!!"
Waves of sonorous and powerful responses came from the conference room. Only the commander of the armored infantry company, Ma Hongjie, frowned. What he shouted just now was not so confident.
The Tiger Wolf Battalion took the lead in rectification, starting with their company, which meant that from now until all the firepower companies were successfully reorganized, his pressure was no less than that of the chief officers at the battalion headquarters when the fifth battalion was first formed.
If Chen Ming were here, it would be okay. If there were any problems, he could report them to the staff at any time, but looking at the current situation, he would have to rely on him most of the time.
Chen Ming's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and finally settled on Ma Hongjie.
"Captain Ma."
"arrive."
"Your armored infantry company will soon be converted into a firepower company. Your company has always been the main force of our battalion. Your capabilities are also very strong. This is recognized by the battalion headquarters."
"Next, do you have any ideas about the layout of the fire company?"
"Or do you have the confidence to start from your company?"
"Reporting to Staff Officer Chen, I am confident, but to form a firepower company, we need to split up all the more than 100 people in the existing company."
"After breaking up the original single combat force, there are still many armored squads that need to be assigned to other companies to accept the firepower companies that have more arms."
"If it is difficult for the firepower company to exert its combat capabilities before combat effectiveness is established, I am afraid that other companies can defeat the firepower company by randomly arranging a reinforced platoon."
"this."
"That's right." Chen Ming nodded.
Whether it is a synthetic battalion or a synthetic company, the energy expended in the establishment process is almost the same, but there is one thing that Ma Hongjie did not consider.
That is, within the same combat unit, whether it is the success of the previous five battalions or the success of this firepower company, they all have replicable characteristics.
The reason why he had no confidence and only focused on firepower and combat effectiveness was because the previous combat command authority of the entire battalion was in the staff department.
Everything was in Chen Ming's hands, and the company commander below had almost no command of the battle.
Other company commanders also felt the pressure, and the atmosphere in the conference room gradually turned silent from harmonious at the beginning.
Because adapting the fire company seems to be the key point, but other companies can't always stand by and watch the fun, right?
The armored squads in the armored infantry company will definitely be dismantled and divided into their companies. How to coordinate, fight, and command next has become the biggest problem.
I noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene.
Chen Ming waved his hand.
"Okay, any big move is bound to go through a period of pain, but this is no reason for us to back down."
"The reason why you don't have confidence is because you have never commanded how to fight. Without command, you don't understand how closely the units are connected."
"Company Commander Ma's concern just now is reasonable, but it can also be said to be groundless. In a combined battalion, detachments below the battalion level participate in confrontations above the battalion level. Is this combat method still rare?"
"In almost every confrontation and every exercise, when are the combat units in our battalion not facing more powerful combat units?"
"If you want to set up a firepower company and make the new company combat effective again, we must first start with you commanders."
"Starting from tomorrow, the armored infantry company will be officially split. Aren't you very lacking in command? That's very simple. The current ability is not enough to command a company. Is it possible that you can't command a squad?"
"If you are able to command, then you will continue to conduct testing confrontations among squad, platoon, and company combat units. From tomorrow on, the staff will no longer participate in any command."
"Don't you even know how to command members of the party branch? It's simple. I will allocate the firepower of a platoon to you to fight with the tank company, the support company, and the support company."
"Take a platoon as a unit and fight with a company that has not been assigned combat tasks before. Both sides will make progress together. When can the command be smooth and learn to master the core of the command of the synthetic force, when will it be over?"
"When you're under pressure, you'll be motivated. Once you're familiar with everything, then fight in platoons. If it doesn't work, then fight in squads. There will definitely be some problems when setting up a command."
"Don't forget that our Strategic Assault Division will be the exclusive combat force of the Blue Army from now on. Our mission is nothing else but to fight. We must not only learn how to fight, but also how to command and maximize our firepower."
"If the exclusive Blue Army doesn't even know how to command, wouldn't it make others laugh?"
"You can arrange these by yourself. If there are still problems with command, then choose a larger combat unit to fight against."
"Squads and platoons, platoons and companies, companies and battalions are synthesized and refined step by step, and then the whole battalion is organized to conduct actual combat drills. Don't consider those that are available or not."
"And the staff."
"arrive."
"Training staff, intelligence staff, and combat service staff will train and fight during this period. You will only provide the initial battlefield situation and the rules of confrontation. You no longer need to take away the command authority like before."
"A combined battalion must learn to delegate authority in combat operations. Even after the combat effectiveness is formed, command authority must be delegated to any soldier."
"Doing this will also allow other companies to free their hands and fight, instead of rigidly commanding according to my previous model. Use your own methods and the most convenient way to use the firepower assigned to you by the entire company. I worked hard."
"Then once our eight combat companies of the Tiger Wolf Battalion arrive on the battlefield, their combat capabilities will definitely increase several times."
"do you understand?"
"clear!!!!"
"good."
Chen Ming picked up the pile of documents on the table again and pushed it to the middle of the conference table.
"This is the positioning plan I took the time to draw up some time ago. I will start making adjustments to the company according to this plan tomorrow."
"You must give me details, down to every squad, every soldier, every gun, and every tank."
"Remember, the combat capability of the combined battalion is based on the linkage of each weak unit, or tiny unit, and only when they are grouped together can they form powerful firepower."
"When the artillery shells hit, the armored troops withstood me, the anti-aircraft troops intercepted them. The tank was damaged, and the repair team was able to restore the tank to its condition in the shortest time. These things cannot be achieved by just relying on the current engineering unit. "
"Every company, or even every platoon, must have the firepower and technology of all arms. As the same saying goes, major majors should be concentrated while small majors should be integrated."
"This is the future direction of our Tiger Wolf Battalion. Do you understand?"
"clear!!"
"Okay, if you understand, then take these documents and dismiss the meeting."
"In the evening, arrange the distribution of personnel for each class and each platoon. Tomorrow morning all your company commanders will gather together for a meeting. Each company will disperse the professional technical personnel who should be sent to other companies, and send them to other companies when they should be received. Members accept new members.”
"Now is not the time to start a war. There is no need to consider your combat effectiveness. Just do this for me first."
"Meeting dismissed."
"yes."
Chen Ming made some arrangements and once again raised the training atmosphere of Tiger Wolf Camp to the highest level.
In order to see the results as soon as possible this time, he really put a lot of thought into cultivating the command ability and adaptability of each company.
In the next few days, Chen Ming supervised the arrangement of engineering units to set up obstacles. They not only set up multiple obstacles on the training ground, but also laid out multiple positions in the defensive area to fight against them.
Not only to maintain the flexibility of defense, for greater recovery, but also for better training.
Soldiers are all good soldiers, and commanders all have a certain basis of experience.
The key is that I was too short on time before, so I didn’t have much directing experience, so I was still a little unfamiliar when I first started.
But it doesn't matter. Chen Ming stayed here for a week and did nothing else. He just forced the company commanders, party branch members, and the backbone of the battalion to take command all day long.
Forcing them to take advantage of the combined force and maximize the rational arrangement of combat forces.
The effect is also obvious. During this period of time, the training ground was full of climaxes, and the confrontation between companies became the most dynamic link.
This also just proves the truth that there is no success without grinding, and there is no edge without sharpening. Only by forcing these commanders and soldiers to learn and practice can they make progress.
But a week passed so quickly that the brigade headquarters called Chen Ming over again without even a few confrontations.
Ask him to take leave and go home to prepare for his own personal affairs.
The commander of the 169th Synthetic Brigade was also panicking. If he didn't hurry up, he would be deemed as being held hostage by the superiors.
How to fix it?
He cannot bear this responsibility.
