They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 213 Chen Ming makes plans, this is the real talent
"Commander Chen, we are here."

Kong Wu parked his car in front of the battalion headquarters gate.

Pointing to the camp area ahead, he introduced: "This is the headquarters of the Fifth Battalion. I have never been here before. We may have to register before we can go in."

"Ah."

Chen Ming rubbed his temples, opened the door and got out of the car. His eyes fell on the camp in front of him. Compared with the camps he saw along the way, the building facilities here were obviously newer.

The Fifth Battalion was the unit he could truly dream of setting sail.

Chen Ming took a deep breath. A new unit represented new challenges and new opportunities. He had no way out.

There is only one word, do it!

Just when Chen Ming was sighing, a familiar voice came from the camp.

"Haha, Chen Ming?!!"

"It seems that I came out in time. I received a message from the brigade headquarters 10 minutes ago saying that you have set off. I thought it was time for you to arrive. Welcome."

Before Chen Ming could enter the camp.

Zhang Jintao, the instructor of the Fifth Battalion, came out with a big smile. Since they had met at Camp Luozi years ago, although they were not very familiar with each other, they were definitely not strangers.

"Hello, Comrade Instructor." Chen Ming stood at attention and raised his hand in salute. It felt good to see familiar people in an unfamiliar unit.

"Hello, welcome back to the fifth camp. We have been waiting for you for a long time." Zhang Jintao returned the greeting, stretched out his hand and held Chen Ming's hands tightly.

After greeting each other.

Zhang Jintao enthusiastically pointed to the cadre dormitory of the battalion headquarters.

"Let's go, let's arrange the dormitories first, and then we'll go around the company and get used to the environment of the fifth battalion."

"Three companies have been arranged to report today. Battalion Commander Du is currently carrying out mobilization work with the company. He doesn't know that you have arrived yet. Let's go there together later."

"Okay, thank you instructor."

Faced with Zhang Jintao's enthusiasm, Chen Ming smiled brilliantly, while clerk Kong Wu helped carry the backpack from behind.

The three of them walked into the battalion headquarters. The area here was much larger than that of Yuanhuo [-]nd Battalion and [-]st Company, with a courtyard-like architectural style.

After all, the artillery brigade has a small number of people and a small area.

Unlike the synthetic camp, there are rows of buildings around it and it covers a very large area.

The only drawback is that it is a bit desolate. There are not many people walking around the entire battalion headquarters, and the greening and honor columns are not organized. Except after entering the gate, I saw someone writing the location and zip code of the camp on the sign.

There were no flags in the entire camp, including "loyalty to duty, strict discipline, respect for unity, and courage to move forward" and other similar camp slogans.

Obviously, the current personnel of the fifth battalion should have just been transferred.

This is really starting from scratch.
On the way to the cadre dormitory, Chen Ming looked around, and finally couldn't help but turned around and asked: "Instructor, how many companies in our fifth battalion are in place now?"

"How I look at this place seems like it was only this year, or even the last few days, that the cleanup started."

Chen Ming didn't know whether the brigade commander had notified the battalion commander and instructor of the fifth battalion in the same way about the March agreement.

But he was notified, and three months passed in the blink of an eye, so he couldn't afford to delay.

Therefore, what he is most worried about now is the current situation of the fifth battalion.

Hear the inquiry.

Zhang Jintao smiled and talked about the current fifth battalion.

There was a hint of helplessness in his expression. After all, he had previously worked well as an instructor in other battalions, but was suddenly transferred to a newly built unit like the Fifth Battalion. It was normal for him to be reluctant.

If he does well in this kind of place, that's what he should do. If he doesn't do well, it will add a bad record to his resume.

He is over 30 years old this year, and he has reached the peak of his career as a lieutenant colonel in the army. He is not as energetic as Chen Ming, and he needs achievements to prove himself.

Mentioning the situation here, Zhang Jintao was obviously a little depressed and said: "Currently, only the three companies that came here today are in place, the armored infantry company, the tank company and the artillery company."

"Other companies and military region chiefs are allocating manpower. However, although the people from each company have not arrived, they are not complete yet. Weapons, tanks and the like have been transported in place."

"oh, I see."

Chen Ming nodded, it was roughly the same as he guessed.

From Zhang Jintao's introduction, I could tell that he was not in a high mood. This was understandable. The establishment of a new unit was already under great pressure. The leaders above were keeping an eye on it and promised to provide green light and assistance all the way.

With so many prerequisites.

If they fail to achieve results, their commanders and fighters will all be labeled "incompetent".

The journey of reform is very difficult, and there will inevitably be pain when destroying the old and establishing the new. For the integrated battalion, especially the strengthened establishment like the fifth battalion, it will be even more difficult in the early stage.

Not to mention anything else, a battalion, not to mention the battalion commander and instructors, is just a battalion commander meeting. The eight company commanders plus the company instructor, including members of the battalion party committee, each meeting requires 30 people to participate.

One person talks about a problem, and half a day passes without doing anything, just a whole day of meetings.

Without a clear system, the battalion commander would not be able to have a "one-note speech" in the early stage. There will definitely be many problems in the early stage of establishment. If they are not properly handled, there will be meetings and discussions for a month or 20 days.

There are more and more opinions. If they cannot be better solved at the meeting, the problems of each company will accumulate more and more, and eventually it will be a mess.

This is the most common mistake made in the early stage of a combined battalion when multiple arms are integrated.

Chen Ming must find a way as soon as possible to avoid this situation from happening. He is the chief staff officer of the fifth battalion, and it is his duty to lead the entire staff department.

During the conversation, the three of them entered the second floor of the cadre dormitory. Different positions meant different treatment.

Zhang Jintao pointed to a dormitory at the corner of the second floor and smiled: "Counsel Chen, this is your dormitory."

"I have arranged for people to clean it this morning. Take a look at what is missing. I will arrange for people to add it. If you need anything, feel free to ask. You have just come to our 169th Brigade and are new to the synthetic camp. You need to get used to it first."

"This is already very good." Chen Ming walked into the arranged dormitory and looked around.

Single room, big iron bed, iron cabinet, desk, chair, water dispenser and so on.

Although the level of luxury is not as luxurious as Longya, it is much better than the collective dormitories like the recruit company and Yuanhuo Camp.

Seeing that Chen Ming was satisfied, Kong Wu hurriedly placed all the bedding and toiletries.

After dormitory arrangements are made.

Zhang Jintao originally planned to invite Chen Ming to visit the company, but he declined politely. As for the current situation of the fifth battalion, the company members have just arrived, and it is enough to have the battalion commander there to take charge of the overall situation.

The focus of his work was not on the combat company first.

Through this meeting, he already knew the current situation of the fifth battalion. The armored infantry company, tank company, and artillery company were all put together by the brigade headquarters from other units, including the military region from other brigades.

Temporarily allocating manpower from various units to form combat companies, this formation method has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that they can be selected and have at least some grassroots experience. They do not need to be retrained. There should be no problems with all aspects of military quality.

Relatively easy to manage.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. Some soldiers who are drawn from the entire military region are likely to have never been exposed to a combined battalion, let alone the method of combined operations.

If you want to develop combat effectiveness, you must constantly adapt.

Zhang Jintao is mainly responsible for political and ideological work, and is the so-called "moderator" at the meeting. Chen Ming, the chief staff officer, can be understood as the battalion-level chief of staff.

under his leadership.

Chen Ming went to the staff headquarters, the party committee member conference room, and the integrated combat command room.

After visiting all the places in the battalion headquarters.

Zhang Jintao suggested again: "How about? Let's go see the company?"

"It just so happens that Battalion Commander Du is also arranging the company's work there. Let's go over and take a look and discuss the first step on where to carry out our work."

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Chen Ming readily accepted the proposal. After understanding it, he already had a general direction.

Know how to carry out the next work.

Kong Wu was left in the battalion staff department to organize information to facilitate follow-up work.

Chen Ming and Zhang Jintao rushed to the fifth battalion's company station by car.

The Fifth Battalion's headquarters is an independent location, and the company's headquarters is not far away, about seven or eight kilometers, just a few minutes' drive away.

The distribution of company stations is not so strict. There is no need to distinguish between armored infantry companies or tank companies. After all, combined units require coordination. If a company has a station separated by several miles, combined training will be troublesome. .

The general architectural design of the company's accommodation and training is like a paddock, with the car park in the middle and the surrounding campsites as accommodation places for each company.

Chen Ming and his two men had just arrived at the outskirts of the parking lot and parked their vehicles. From a distance, they saw Battalion Commander Du Longfei with his hands on his hips, spitting and directing the company soldiers to organize the company headquarters.The situation here is basically the same as at the battalion headquarters. The honor column and many greening equipment are not in place.

Apparently it was because the new company had arrived and they had just received some things from the Joint Logistics Department, and the battalion commander was directing the placement.

"This is Lao Du." Seeing Du Longfei commanding the soldiers to clean up the company's environment, Zhang Jintao smiled helplessly. This kind of matter can be delegated to the company commander.

What's he doing here?

Chen Ming followed and watched without saying anything, and Zhang Jintao led him directly towards the battalion commander.

Didn't take a few steps.

Du Longfei, who was conducting the command, noticed the situation here and saw Chen Ming coming to report.

Du Longfei was stunned at first, then trotted over and looked Chen Ming up and down, then laughed and punched Chen Ming in the chest. It looked like the force was strong, but in fact he didn't use any force at all. This was the way he always liked to say hello.

"Hello, battalion commander." Chen Ming saluted.

"Hello, Comrade Chen Ming, you are finally here." Du Longfei returned the greeting and said with a smile: "I was just thinking that today is the day for you to report, and I wonder if you can find our station."

"But then I think about it, you are from Dragon Fang, so naturally this matter won't be a problem for you, haha."

"Why are you here so late?"

"It's not too late. The instructor just took me to familiarize myself with the environment of the lower battalion. No, he came over immediately after getting familiar with it."

Chen Ming responded with a smile.

After a brief greeting, Du Longfei pointed to the company in the distance, "More than 500 people came here today, and the dormitories have just been arranged. By the way, what are your current plans?"

"If you ask me, our fifth battalion has three companies. We should first conduct training according to coordinated tactical exercises and train the armored infantry company, tank company and artillery company first."

"What do you think?"

After Du Longfei finished speaking, he looked at Chen Ming.

It's not that he, as a battalion commander, has no independent opinions. Before he was transferred here, Wang Junwei, commander of the 169th Brigade, had already warned him.

Chen Ming studied synthetic tactics at the National University of Defense Technology and received training at Longya. It is best to listen to his opinions when setting up a new battalion.

The reason is also very simple.

Whether it is Du Longfei or Zhang Jintao, they are both members of the 169th Brigade. Their understanding of synthetic units is deeply ingrained and they will only use the experience of the old units for management.

This is not to say that this kind of experience is not good, but it can only be said that even if a fixed mindset can bring out new units, it will only be a replica of the original unit. The principle is fine, but the momentum is insufficient.

Hearing Du Longfei ask for his opinion, Chen Ming thought for a moment and smiled: "Batalion Commander, you also know that I came from Longya, so do you know why Longya's team cooperates so well?"

"Why can their combat methods be so closely coordinated that even on the battlefield, when they act separately without any deployment, their cooperation can cause a fatal blow to ordinary troops?"

"Because we often train together and hone the same subjects, we have developed a tacit understanding. In addition, their individual combat capabilities are inherently high, but we are different. We have different types of arms, and the main directions must be different."

After Du Longfei thought briefly, he responded to this question readily.

Zhang Jintao listened with interest. He felt that Chen Ming might have different suggestions.

really.

After Du Longfei finished his point of view, Chen Ming smiled and shook his head: "Batalion Commander, what you said is only one aspect, yes, but it is not comprehensive."

"Ryuga, including many special forces operations, the reason why they can cooperate so closely is because they are so familiar with each other."

"Be familiar with your comrades, be familiar with everything about them, even the shortcomings and strengths of your comrades. With these, your cooperation on the battlefield will not be bad."

"Well, that makes sense, keep talking." Du Longfei was obviously interested in Chen Ming's views.

"Actually, the current situation of our fifth battalion is that there is no need to rush to arrange training for them. They are all veterans. The training will not improve themselves much."

"Many times, we go into a misunderstanding when arranging fighter training. We want to create a tacit understanding among the fighters during training, little by little, day by day."

"I can't be wrong about that approach, but it doesn't apply to our situation. The combined battalion pays attention to coordination and an integrated offensive and defensive combat method. We are all veterans here. Why not let them get familiar with each other first before participating in daily training? Woolen cloth?"

"Get acquainted first?" Du Longfei was stunned.

I seemed to have caught a key piece of information in my mind, but I couldn't figure out what it was for the moment.

"Yes, just get familiar with them first." Chen Ming suggested in a loud voice: "It's not the kind of familiarity in the class. Our soldiers here come from various units."

"Now, they don't necessarily know the names of the comrades in the bunk beds. They don't necessarily know the name of the squad leader. They don't know the name of the company commander, the battalion commander, or the instructor."

"Under such circumstances, direct participation in training will only lead to more and more problems, and it will be difficult to meet the requirements for joint battalion coordination in a short period of time."

"Why don't we think differently and give them three days, or two days, and do nothing else, just get to know each other about the comrades around them and everything about them, even if it's just telling stories or experiences. .”

"At least we must do it. The company commander is familiar with the soldiers under his command, the squad leader is familiar with the soldiers in his squad, the company commander and the company commander are familiar with each other's temperament, and they can sharpen their swords and chop wood. After getting to know each other, and then carry out daily training, they will be able to Get twice the result with half the effort.”

Looking at Chen Ming who was talking eloquently.

Du Longfei really felt a sense of enlightenment.

Chen Ming's proposal may seem simple and not difficult, but it is exactly what the Fifth Battalion needs to do most at present, and it is also the most suitable for their current situation.

They could afford to delay for two or three days. This special order could not only make the new soldiers feel fresh, but also establish a basis for collaborative training in the shortest possible time.

Really good.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Du Longfei clapped his hands and laughed. This kind of mission is really novel.

Zhang Jintao, who had been silent next to him, also breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid that Chen Ming's idea was out of tune, but that he had nothing to do.

As the chief staff officer, you must have your own ideas no matter what.

Now it seems that his worries are unnecessary.

With a good start, you will be able to adapt to other aspects slowly.

When Du Longfei was about to go over and convey the order, Chen Ming stopped him again.

"Battal Commander, don't worry about this yet."

"Getting to know each other is just the first step. We only have three companies now. I see that the brigade headquarters' plan for forming a fifth battalion calls for the formation of eight companies."

"Rather than in reality, training over and over again, running in over and over again, not to mention spending a lot of time, we were unable to discover many problems in the running in process in time."

"I suggest that instead of training on the ground, start online first."

"Start online? How do you say this?" Du Longfei felt that his brain was almost running out.

Troop training and coordinated operations can only be improved through running in again and again. Apart from these, he really can't think of any other way to replace it.

If it was really that simple, why didn't anyone in the previous army try it?

It seemed that he saw the battalion commander's doubts.

Chen Ming explained with a smile: "Online training means that we first build an internal combat network, rely on the principles of three-dimensional digitization and geographical coordinates, and use three-dimensional digitization, high-resolution terrain, landforms and surface facilities to simulate atmospheric weather and meteorological environment. Time system, visual command center for heavy truck troop and equipment deployment, etc.”

"It is almost impossible for an enhanced combat unit with more than 1000 people to get in place in a short period of time."

"But if we put all our original units on the visualization system through simulation, we can first use the system to simulate encounters, offensive and defensive battles, and various combat methods."

"Then come up with the best combat plan and command the entire battalion to fight an encounter in strict accordance with the same method."

"In this way, we can save a lot of time and get twice the result with half the effort. After all, even if we can endure the boring training day after day, the soldiers may not be able to learn much."

"Furthermore, synthetic training will also cause very high wear and tear on combat vehicles. We first simulate it online, and then combine the best plans and let the troops fight according to the plan. We can see the results first, and then run in, and the speed will be fast. too much."

If the idea that I was familiar with just now just made Du Longfei feel novel.

Now Chen Ming's second proposal.

It really calmed him down completely.

Can collaborative training also see operational results first and then slowly run them in?

Although Du Longfei subconsciously wanted to refute this point of view, after thinking about it again and again, he didn't even know how to refute it.

He had a hunch that a great talent really came from the Fifth Battalion this time.

A great talent who dares to think and act.

The instructor who had been listening but said nothing had been completely attracted by Chen Ming's point of view.

He lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
