Xie Dong was a little uneasy.
In the small conference room of the company headquarters, he had smoked his third cigarette after not having smoked for a long time.
He put out the third cigarette butt, took out the fourth cigarette from the cigarette case, and just picked up the lighter. After thinking about it, he held it back and stuffed the cigarette back into the cigarette case.
After all, as the leader of a company, he must lead by example.
Seeing him like this, Xu Huan, the instructor opposite, couldn't help but persuade him: "Look, ideological work is my business. Before I get annoyed, you should get annoyed first."
Xie Dong scratched his head irritably and said resentfully: "Let's wait until next year to change it. After the new recruits join the company, we will wait for the personnel to stabilize before making changes. Now that we have announced that we will reorganize, the news has spread throughout the battalions and companies. What can the veterans think?" Not in the mood? The recruits know that they will be reorganized, but they don’t know which unit they will be assigned to in the future, so they are still willing to work hard and train hard? "
Xu Huan understood that Xie Dong was telling the truth.
There is no airtight wall in the world. There was a meeting last night and today there are discussions everywhere.
In fact, regarding the adaptation, there have been rumors among the E division staff for a long time, and it is no longer a secret.
It’s just that no one wants to believe that the reorganization started at the beginning of this year. Other military regions have already started to make changes. Many divisions have been transformed into brigade formations during the reorganization. Because the two formations have different specifications and compositions, the reorganization will involve a lot of work. Major personnel changes, some divisions were even reorganized and the entire division was dismantled. This regiment went to that brigade, that regiment went to this brigade, or even transferred to other regions to merge with other unfamiliar troops, and some were directly changed to Marine brigade...
In Xu Huan's view, military reform is a matter of time and a general trend.
The world is changing, science and technology are developing, geopolitics is changing, the new era has new situations, and new requirements for the national armed forces have also been put forward.
In the past, the slogan was "win the local war under high-tech conditions." To put it bluntly, it meant defending the one-third of an acre of land in front of the house and adopting a defensive approach.
However, with the development of China's economy, the increase in overseas investment, the increasing proportion of overseas interests, various economic and political needs, and the pace of scientific and technological development of the People's Liberation Army, the old-fashioned military structure and organization can no longer adapt to the new situation. High-tech, highly synthetic and complex warfare.
The latest centenary goal of building the military proposed by the head of the headquarters is to "develop military forces capable of defending national sovereignty, defending against security threats posed by hegemonism in the Western Pacific region, and protecting overseas development interests."
The new requirements involved here include rapid assembly capabilities, long-range delivery capabilities, logistics support capabilities, technological armed capabilities, etc.
Change, must change!
If you don’t change, it will be a dead end!
This reform is to enhance the Army's ability to resist strikes and improve its survivability under fire strikes. Cooperative combat capabilities. Ability to execute independently.
The previous combat division organization is no longer suitable for modern warfare. Although the division level can operate independently, internal coordination, multiple establishments, and departments make it inflexible. Moreover, divisions have large targets and are easy to be discovered. And because they are not flat, the chain of command can easily be interrupted and lead to paralysis. Among them, divisional artillery, engineers, logistics and other units are too concentrated and are easily attacked first.
Once disabled, the fire support of the entire division was severely damaged, unable to be used, and reluctant to part with it. Reorganizing it... was difficult and took a long time.
Each brigade operates in coordination, and each internal battalion completes its tasks independently. Equipment and firepower are distributed, and the ability to withstand strikes is strong. If the headquarters or a single battalion unit is hit, the entire brigade will not easily lose combat effectiveness.
This is the difference between a lion and a hyena. Lions can fight independently, but hyenas need to work as a team. When a lion is injured, it loses its combat effectiveness and does not dare to attack large prey. The consequence of being attacked is to withdraw from the battlefield, while hyenas can withstand losses and are more proactive.
It is also similar to the difference between battleships and cruisers in naval history. Battleships were expensive, stupid, and slow, and they were timid and reluctant to use them for fear of losses. Cruisers are light and cheap, can respond quickly, and are flexible in combat, making them more suitable for mixed formations.
There is also logistical supplies. The division's logistics pressure is high, the brigade is much smaller, and it pays more attention to motorization and lightness. There is much less pressure on fuel, ammunition, and food supplies. When logistics are short due to sabotage, the brigade can pool supplies to supply the combined battalion.
Finally, compared with the large formation of division-level troops, brigade-level combat troops can quickly maneuver and deploy, and are easier to quickly combine with other arms units to achieve joint operations, and have strong modularization capabilities.
There have been rumors in the past six months that Division E is about to be adapted.
Although everyone had heard the news, they were emotionally reluctant to part with the old team and were unwilling to split up, so Quan pretended not to hear it.
An order has been issued. Today, the division held a meeting of regimental commanders and above and announced the order, requiring each regiment to go back and count personnel and equipment, report the data, and make corresponding preparations to meet the brigade reorganization work in the future.
When everything was put on the table, every officer and soldier of E Division had to face the facts.
Disaster.
What's the difficulty?
Xie Dong slapped the table: "Since we want to change it, we should change it early! This year's quota for non-commissioned officers to stay in the team has been registered. You, like squad leader Wu Yi, have gone to the teaching team to participate in non-commissioned officer training. I even talked to him, After explaining the situation, they were just waiting for the renewal of the contract next year. Now it’s fine. What does it mean when they say that all non-commissioned officer renewal matters are suspended? I went to tell Wu Yi again that the previous training camp and what I said to you don’t count. Waiting for notification? Isn’t this a joke?! I’m not a company commander anymore!”
Xu Huan said: "Why are you excited? We are soldiers, and it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders. Isn't Wu Yi a soldier? Revolutionary soldiers are like bricks. They can be moved wherever they are needed. If you don't have this kind of ideological awareness, how can you be a soldier? ?”
Xie Dong felt the gang rolling in his chest and wanted to complain, but he thought what the instructor Xu Huan said was right.
Just because there is no problem in principle, it does not mean that there are no difficulties in practical operation.
People have emotions, and so do soldiers, especially between comrades.
Xie Dong stopped talking. After a long time, Xu Huan sighed and said: "If the adaptation involves the veteran's personal future, I will do the ideological work. Don't make it difficult for you."
After hearing this, Xie Dong thought for a while, looked up at Xu Huan across from him and said, "Old Xu, what do you mean by this? We are partners in the company, and you are responsible for all the difficult things? It doesn't make sense! What's more, you I haven’t been transferred here for a long time, I’m not familiar with the situation, and I’m not familiar with the veterans, so it’s up to me to handle matters that offend others.”
Xu Huan smiled.
He admired Xie Dong.
I have been transferred here for two years, and my cooperation with Xie Dong has been pleasant, and I have never blushed.
It is said that the company chief officer partner is like a husband and wife, one is in charge of internal affairs and the other is in charge of external affairs, one is in charge of military affairs, and the other is in charge of ideological work.
But when he encounters difficulties, Xie Dong always takes the initiative to shoulder them.
In this regard, I am grateful to Xie Dong.
"Company Commander, reorganization is not necessarily a bad thing." Xu Huan said: "We used to be a motorized infantry division, but this time we reorganized, I heard that many former motorized infantry divisions were converted into combined brigades, and some were converted into mechanized brigades. A comrade of mine is in the X Military Region. He was originally a motorized infantryman, but they adapted it and turned it into an air assault brigade. He flies in and out in helicopters every day, which is very majestic!"
Xie Dong sighed. How could he not like adaptation?
To be honest, the name Tigers sounds loud.
But everyone in the G Military Region knows that the E Division is just a B Division. Although its equipment has been strengthened in recent years, the B Division is still a B Division. It is also the A Group Army. Other brother units are all mechanized divisions. The title of Bu has not been taken off yet.
Adapted, maybe it can even leap over the dragon's gate.
This aspect is worth looking forward to.
He stood up and walked slowly to the window. What he looked out of the window in the distance was the comprehensive training ground. It happened to be time for afternoon exercises. Each squad led its team to the training ground, and loud queue songs floated in the air. ——
"I am a soldier, from the common people. The Revolutionary War tested my stance and became firmer. Hey hey hey, hold the gun tightly and see clearly. If the enemy dares to invade, we will resolutely eliminate it!"
