What Peng Liqin said was exactly what Xie Dong was worried about.
News about military exercises is flying all over the place now.
The most critical piece of information is that this military exercise is not going to the red and blue army bases in the prairie. Instead, the adapted Army Group A will serve as the blue side, and Army Group D will serve as the red side. They will conduct an actual combat simulation within the military region. exercise.
The time has not yet been determined.
Location to be determined.
The form is undecided.
Everything is unknown.
Just waiting for an order to be issued, it can be pulled at any time to simulate actual combat in all directions.
It is said to be a simulated actual combat, but in fact many cadres are spreading the news that because the brigade will be reorganized in the future, many redundant establishments will be abolished. The brigade has a flat command. Compared with the division, the number of levels at which orders are issued from top to bottom is reduced, which means that the number of intermediate forwardings is reduced and fewer officers are required.
The previous division command system was more bloated than that of the brigade. After the reorganization, many officers from the previous agencies will face a problem, that is, they must either serve as command officers in grassroots combat companies or be asked to change careers.
For example, Peng Liqin, who is currently in the fourth company, has long expected this situation and made preparations in advance.
Also, because the number of personnel in divisions and brigades is different, the ranks of officers will also be compressed, and they will strive for excellence rather than more. Therefore, grassroots commanding officers are also faced with the problem of whether to be abolished.
A division has many officers.
There are many who have the same or similar age, qualifications, education, etc.
Who leaves?
Who stays?
This issue cannot be decided just by looking at the file.
It's a mule or a horse, pulling it out for a ride.
What could be more direct and test the command capabilities of each level than a practical exercise?
Because of this, this upcoming exercise has a different meaning.
Xie Dong said: "I am also worried about this, so I asked the platoon leaders in our company not only to do a good job in training new recruits and veterans, but also to practice military training and study business. Otherwise, this adaptation may be a disaster. I need to take off my military uniform!"
Peng Liqin sighed and said: "Well, that has nothing to do with me. My situation has come to an end long ago. I may change my job. From now on, I can go home, have a wife and children, and live on the hot bed. There is no need for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to be separated from each other."
Xie Dong smiled and said: "Lao Peng, I think you are not happy."
Peng Liqin was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, said nothing, and turned back to his room.
In fact, not only the Fourth Company, but all the companies in the Menghu Regiment had the same idea as the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Company.
Veterans want to stay, and cadres want to stay. They all have their own ideas.
On the contrary, for new recruits, they will not be discharged immediately after arriving in their first year.
The leaders of the military region asked Zhuang Yan, who was stationed in Division E, for any suggestions on the adaptation.
Zhuang Yan wrote a report, combining everything he saw and observed while stationed in Division E, and wrote more than 5,000 words eloquently.
In fact, the center has only one suggestion - it is better to make changes early than to make changes late.
The reason is simple. This year's E Division recruits have just joined the company. They have not started professional training for a long time. They are like blank slates. It is relatively easy to change their majors.
If the change is made in another two or three months, not only the service time will be lost, but also the majors will be learned. If the nature of the army changes after the reorganization, the majors will have to be readjusted, and some will even have to be learned all over again. This will be a waste of the previous time. time.
After reading this report seriously, it was sent directly to the head of the military region.
Soon, Zhuang Yan received the order - the exercise will be held in 15 days. The specific time will be arranged by the Military Region Directorate. As the coordinator of the E Division's military reform, Zhuang Yan will review the existing problems and adaptation direction of this E Division military exercise. Suggestions will be made into a report and finally sent to the military region for review.
The stakes are high.
Zhuang Yan felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
Not only that, but what he was most worried about was that anything involving adaptation and disarmament was a very painful thing, and it was also a very offending thing.
reason?
it goes without saying.
Zhuang Yan complained to him on the phone with Zhen Zhen, which pushed him into a pit of fire. Back then, the officers and soldiers of E Division on the prairie were already hating themselves, the Blue Army commander who had embarrassed them. Now E When the master was faced with the adaptation, he transferred him all the way and put him on the crater to roast.
Serious said on the other end of the phone: "Are you not understanding or are you just pretending? The leaders just want you to adapt to and understand the situation of Division E. After the reorganization in the future, you will be the commander of this new unit. Aren’t you happy that these few months have allowed you to familiarize yourself with the situation in advance?”
When it comes to truth, solemnity often fails to describe seriousness. It has been like this since we were recruits, and we are used to it.
While Chief of Staff Zhuang was complaining to his old comrades for sitting in the crater, Li was sweating freely on the training ground of the Fourth Company of the Menghu Regiment.
Regarding the military reform, he, a private, had no feelings at all, and it was not his turn to feel anything.
Obeying orders and obeying orders is the highest consciousness of a soldier.
December in the south is still scorching hot.
Moving to the north, it has started to snow in some places at this time, but the daytime temperature at the E Division's station is still above 30 degrees.
I once saw snipers in the army wearing ghillie suits on TV, with their whole bodies wrapped in various disguises. They were very murderous and cool.
But now Li Zheng thinks this is not cool at all.
Because at this time, Li Zheng was wearing a thick ghillie suit and had been lying next to a pile of grass for two full hours.
According to Hou Jun, this is called "disguise" training.
After being named by Hou Jun to join the company's "sniper squad", Li Zheng's hard days have just begun.
The "sniper squad" is a very unique existence of the Fourth Company.
It is not a formal establishment, but a squad formed by the Fourth Company itself.
The soldiers in this class are selected from the entire company, including people from each platoon and each squad. The threshold for entry is very high. The shooting skills are required to be among the best in the entire company, and they must have the potential to be an excellent sniper before they can enter.
There are only two recruits in this class this year, one is Li Zheng, and the other is, of course, Zhang Jian, an old enemy.
In addition to participating in platoon training, the soldiers in the sniper squad must also be led by Hou Jun to conduct more difficult sniper training alone.
When Hou Jun explained sniper equipment for the first time, Li Zheng was very interested in the auspicious suit. As a result, within a week, he wanted to burn it.
The camouflage of a sniper requires not only a ghillie suit, but also camouflage paint on the face, neck, and hands.
This stuff has a weird smell, and you need to use a special detergent to wash it off when you apply it on your skin, otherwise it will be difficult to clean it off with soap.
After applying this stuff and putting on the ghillie suit, it looked cool, but when Li Zheng lay motionless for two hours aiming at a target under the sun, the sour feeling was overwhelming.
"Out of the target!"
Two hours.
Li Zheng finally heard Hou Jun give the order to move out of the target.
Waited for a full two hours.
Oh My God!
Just for this shot!
The most grueling part of this kind of training is that Hou Jun will ask the snipers in the sniper squad to make all disguises, bring all the equipment, and then lie down in a corner of the shooting range. The time and weather are uncertain, whether it is a scorching sun or a violent storm, They all lay there motionless.
Whoever moves will be punished.
Hou Jun enjoyed it very much. He moved a small bench and sat down in the shade of a tree. He sat behind the snipers and basked in the sun leisurely while staring at everyone.
When he was satisfied, he ordered the shooting.
And you must hit different targets that suddenly appear at a distance of 200-400 meters within 30 seconds.
After typing, let’s comment again.
The target appears at a distance of 300 meters.
Li Zheng did not rely on the white light sight on the 88 sniper to find the target, because the place where the target appeared was not fixed and he did not know where it was. It was stupid to use a sight to find it.
time is limited.
In the absence of an observer, first raise your head slightly to see clearly the approximate position of the target you are responsible for, then aim the gun, and finally use the scope to correct the shooting baseline, aim at the bullseye and pull the trigger. This is the best choice. .
"One Sword Dominates"
Soon, he saw target No. 9 appearing about 300 meters to the right front.
What's the distance?
No spotting hand, no rangefinder.
You can only measure the distance by yourself.
