The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 305 Headquarters Organization and Staff System
He Wei's large-scale military training was in full swing, and the army construction of the Army Commando Corps was also on the right track. All work, training, weapons, supplements, and training of friendly troops were all progressing in an orderly manner.

But although all the work was progressing steadily and there was no problem in the general direction, small things and chores came to He Wei one after another.

For example, a certain unit's recruits were injured during training and needed to go to a hospital in the city for medical treatment; a certain unit's recruits developed malaria and needed to purchase medicine; a certain unit's training equipment was damaged and required repairs, etc.

Although they are all innocuous chores, they are all trivial matters, and they are nothing compared to the current booming situation of the Army Commando Corps.

But one after another, these sesame things kept coming, and although He Wei couldn't be said to be upset, he still felt a little tired.

After all, no one can bear being bothered by these sesame seeds and mung beans every day. What He Wei is more concerned about is the core reason for this phenomenon, which is the lack of a complete and rigorous headquarters organization and a complete staff system under his command.

The various chores and general affairs involved in the operation and actions of a force of several thousand people are actually far more than the combat itself. It can even be said that actual combat and training occupy a relatively small proportion of the daily operations of a force. Yes, most of the business generated in the daily operations of the army has nothing to do with combat and training.

This is true even in wartime. In this case, if the chief officer of a unit who holds command responsibilities is like He Wei recently, who is personally involved in every little thing, even before going to the battlefield, the chief officer will The officer was exhausted by all kinds of trivial matters first!

Therefore, a well-organized and smooth-running headquarters organization and a complete staff system are very important. Such a complete headquarters and staff system are enough to free the chief officer of an army from all kinds of complicated and trivial matters. , focusing mainly on the education and training of the troops.

For example, mid- to senior-level military officers in the armies of advanced Western countries in the world today can leave everything to the staff to handle, except for training and self-enrichment. The reason is that the quality of cadres at all levels is commensurate. The logistics supply system is sound and the material conditions are adequate. Therefore, the organization of the headquarters and staff systems is very complete and complete.

Although Fu Chen, Fang Jing, Chen Xinsheng and others are all officers who graduated from the Huangpu Military Academy, they have only received junior officer training and have not received specialized staff education or chief of staff education. Obviously, they are not qualified for the job. Responsibilities of Chief Staff Officer.

As for the staff system at the regiment and brigade levels, it is almost non-existent. The main officers of the regiment are only the regiment commander, the lieutenant colonel and the major. Therefore, the regiment commander in the national army has to They spend a lot of time and energy busy with trivial matters, ignore education and training, and even regard communication and entertainment as "core affairs," and have to "cover everything" and "do it personally."

In this way, the commander-in-chief of the army must not only be responsible for training and combat command, but also plan for the supply of daily necessities, ammunition, and even wounded soldiers and deserters. Under such circumstances, how can he lead the army well?

The solution is also very simple, that is to create a complete headquarters organization and a complete staff system for the Army Commando Corps. This is not difficult for He Wei. After all, he has the experience bonus of a time traveler. It is natural to have a complete headquarters organization and staff system at your fingertips.

"Sir, please see He Wei!"

The senior officials of the national army are also well aware of the obstacles, and have begun to focus on developing the staff system and staff system. They have made great efforts in the construction of the Army University to cultivate staff talents, hoping to use the graduates of the Army University to cultivate qualified personnel for various units. As a staff officer, he helps the commander to concentrate on leading troops and training, away from various complicated matters.

This is only the initial stage of the Army Commando Corps. The recruits are still being trained, and many operations have not yet been fully launched. When the recruits are trained and the Corps begins to be formally organized into an army according to the organization table, things will probably be much more complicated than they are now. Several times or even ten times, it may not be enough even if He Wei is split into eighteen pieces.

This was the situation He Wei was facing at this time. He had indeed done everything himself when he was the company commander, but a company had a small structure and was naturally easy to deal with. This was also the case after he became the battalion commander, but at that time he already felt Although he was somewhat lacking in energy, he could barely cope with it, but now that he was in charge of thousands of officers and soldiers, he could not do this by himself, taking care of every detail and every aspect.

Looking back at the national army, the organization and staff system of the headquarters at the division level and above are relatively complete, but there are considerable problems in the organization of the headquarters at the regiment and brigade levels.

Not only is there a shortage of chief staff officers, but there are also problems with the level of many ordinary staff officers. Some officers who have just graduated from military academies but have not received special training in staff expertise can serve as staff officers. Even in some local troops, they have "literacy" His overall quality can be seen from the limerick "the one who can't read should be the adjutant".

He Wei knocked on the door gently, and then roared loudly.

All units at the division level and above of the National Army have established various offices to handle various businesses based on different business needs. However, at the regiment and brigade levels, there are no different business departments similar to those at the division level. Below the regiment and brigade headquarters are Of course, there are factors in the Chinese army's regiment-level units' backward equipment and low structure, but it is more due to the current backward military system of the Chinese army.

Therefore, He Wei once again took up He Shaozhou's idea and prepared to seek some staff talents through He Shaozhou's channels.

He Wei had been to this place not once or twice since he arrived in Wuhan. He was already familiar with the place. He went up to the office building and found himself at the door of He Shaozhou's office without the help of an adjutant.

But the problem is that he has no staff personnel available, let alone suitable cadre candidates to serve as chief of staff or chief of staff.

In order to free himself from countless trivial matters and to establish a complete headquarters organization and staff system for his Army Commando Corps, He Wei made a special trip to the office of the 103rd Division.

The door of the office was quickly pushed open, and what appeared in front of He Wei was not He Shaozhou, but a tall officer wearing the rank of lieutenant colonel. This officer had a dignified appearance, bright eyes, and a tall figure. He Wei first looked at him. This person felt that he had a very military temperament.

Although the idea is good, it is not easy to put it into practice. So far, the Army University has trained only more than 2,000 specialized staff officers. These people can only meet the needs of chief staff officers and staff officers at the division level and above. The needs of those in charge.

However, this military temperament is not the killing temperament of a soldier, but the temperament of a professional soldier and an elite soldier.

This temperament is completely different from that of He Wei's officers who were killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​​​blood. It has a sense of superiority, but at the same time it lacks the chilling spirit and bloody courage of soldiers.

"Come on, He Wei, come in quickly. We mentioned you just now. I really mean that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here. Come in quickly!" At this time, He Shaozhou's hearty laughter came, and He Wei quickly walked into the office. Then, He Shaozhou He asked He Wei to sit down, and at the same time introduced the lieutenant colonel officer to He Wei.

"He Wei, let me introduce to you. This is Director Wang Yuanling. He is a graduate of the sixth batch of Huangpu and a graduate of the 13th regular class of Army University. He is also an old acquaintance of mine. He just graduated in December last year. Later, he was assigned to work at the Wuhan branch of the Central Military Academy.

Now that the Wuhan branch has been abolished, Director Wang has been ordered to be transferred to the Education Director of the Wugang Second Branch of the Central Military Academy. It's a coincidence that you are here. I came to Director Wang this time to study the shortage of officers in the Ministry of Defense. Can your troops be distributed to the military academy? The graduates all landed on Director Wang. "

He Shaozhou said, and then He Shaozhou asked He Wei and Wang Yuanling to introduce each other to each other. He Wei also further learned the details of this good-looking Wang Yuanling.

It turned out that Director Wang Yuanling was from Huangpi, Hubei Province. He graduated from the sixth phase of the Signal Corps Department of Huangpu Military Academy. After graduating in 1929, he was assigned to the Signal Corps Company of Wuhan Fortress as a second lieutenant trainee and platoon leader.

In 1931, he was promoted to captain and commander of the Wuhan Fortress Signal Company. Later, he was transferred to the field force and served as the auxiliary of the Signal Battalion. In 1935, he was admitted to the 13th regular class of the Army University.

After graduating from the Army University in December last year, he was first assigned to Section 2, Division 3, Department 7, Department of Military Command as a lieutenant colonel staff officer, and later transferred to the Wuhan branch of the Central Military Academy as the education director.

The Wuhan branch was abolished at the beginning of this year. At the same time, the Ministry of Military Affairs ordered the opening of multiple branches of Huangpu Military Academy across the country, and Wang Yuanling is about to be transferred to the second branch of Huangpu Military Academy in Wugang, Hunan Province.

He Wei learned about Wang Yuanling's background and found out that he was a graduate of the Army University. He thought that it was no wonder that this person had such good looks.

The Army University of the National Army has a very strange rule in terms of admission standards, that is, it has extremely high requirements in terms of appearance and physique. It must not only have a dignified appearance, but also have a flawless and healthy body. As long as the physical characteristics are If you have some obvious shortcomings or minor illnesses, you won't even be able to pass the physical examination at Army University.

Therefore, all graduates of Army University are basically good-looking and good-looking.

Obviously, this Wang Yuanling is the best evidence.

He Shaozhou brought him here today because he was planning to use Wang Yuanling's position to help him recruit some military academy graduates for He Wei. When Wang Yuanling learned about He Wei's identity, his eyes suddenly lit up. , expressed a strong interest in He Wei.

"Captain He, I have admired my name for a long time, I have admired my name for a long time!"

Wang Yuanling couldn't stop talking, and he didn't hesitate to praise him at all. He came up and gave it to He Wei.

"When I was at Army University, I saw the report in the newspaper that you captured Japanese tanks and regiment flags in the Battle of Xinkou. Today, Commander He told me about your combat command and deployment in the Battle of Jinling. When It was a good fight, a good fight. Jinling’s battle example can be included in the textbooks of my Army University.”

Looking at Wang Yuanling who was bragging at him, He Wei showed a smile and said: "Senior, that's ridiculous. It's just a temporary solution. When people are in a hurry, they will find ways to do it. On the battlefield, you can't do anything without fighting hard."

This Wang Yuanling is much older than He Wei, and he is a graduate of the sixth phase of Huangpu. Therefore, although the two have the same military rank, He Wei does not call him by his surname and position, but calls him his senior to express his gratitude. Showed enough respect.

He Wei also saw from Wang Yuanling's constant praise and radiant expression that this top student at Army University was obviously very interested in his combat experience from the Battle of Xinkou to the Battle of Jinling.

He Wei estimated that this old man had not fought in many battles since graduating from Huangpu and spent most of his time in school, so he was extremely interested in He Wei's rich combat experience.

But He Wei didn't have time to reminisce about the past prosperous years now, so he directly started talking about business.

Although He Wei came here to ask He Shaozhou to help recruit some staff talents, since he was looking for military school graduates for him, He Wei put aside the matter of staff talents and talked about military school graduates first.

"Sir He, Senior Wang, I have been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Army Commando Corps this time. There are many vacancies of officers. I really don't have much access to this matter of military academy graduates, so I would like to ask you two for your help."

He Shaozhou said: "Haha, I think you don't have to worry about this matter. I have told Director Wang. Speaking of which, you are really lucky. Director Wang, please tell He Wei in detail."

He Shaozhou turned his attention to Wang Yuanling and pointed at He Wei.

"Captain He, it's like this. Before the fall of Jinling, all the twelfth batch of students from the Central Military Academy moved to Wuhan. These students all graduated in Wuhan, which was two months ago. At that time, I I am the education director of the Wuhan branch of the Central Military Academy, which coincides with the distribution of the 12th batch of students from Huangpu. In order to retain a group of educational talents and military academy cadres for the Wuhan branch, I specially applied for a batch of graduates from the 12th batch of Huangpu. Because of this, more than 30 students from the 12th phase of Huangpu were assigned to the Wuhan branch after graduation.”

At this point, Wang Yuanling showed a wry smile, shook his head and said: "But I asked them to come, and the order came from the back. The Wuhan branch was abolished, and all the instructors and cadres were merged into the Huangpu No. 2 branch in Wugang, Hunan Province. But the military academy's Relocation is not easy. It is still being prepared. It is estimated that there will be one month before the departure to Hunan Province. This group of newly graduated students and I just stayed in Wuhan with nothing to do and waited for departure. It happened that Mr. He found me today and wanted to find some Military academy graduates, I think it would be better to transfer these Huangpu 12th batch graduates to the Army Commando Corps."
