From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 117 Reorganization and transformation of the th Steel Company!

Captain Wang is not a traditional conservative and is willing to accept new things. This makes Chen Jun no longer have any worries and he starts to talk about his synthesis from the beginning.

"Our 702nd Regiment is a heavy armored infantry regiment with its own tank company, artillery company and armored infantry company, and can undertake various ground assault missions.

As the armored reconnaissance company of the 702nd Regiment, the main value of the th Steel Company lies in reconnaissance.

They are equivalent to the eyes of the 702nd Regiment and must undertake front-line and rear-line reconnaissance missions on the battlefield, so that the 702nd Regiment can remove the fog of war as much as possible and know everything about the enemy to win.

But I think the current training model and company structure of the 7th Steel Company are seriously off track. It doesn’t look like a reconnaissance company, but more like an assault company.”

Chen Jun deliberately stopped here in order to emphasize that the company's development path was wrong.

"Chen Jun, what you said is quite interesting. This angle is very unique, which makes me more interested. Come on, don't have any concerns and continue."

Captain Wang thought Chen Jun didn't dare to speak, so he patted his chest and guaranteed Chen Jun.

"Ok."

Chen Jun nodded and continued, "The reason why the army has various organizations is to differentiate tasks and let each unit perform its duties.

This principle is simple and easy to understand, and everyone understands it.

Our 702nd Regiment has no shortage of assault companies. Whether it is a tank company or an armored infantry company, they are all better at fighting ground assault battles.

However, these companies, which are good at fighting tough battles, have no way to conduct reconnaissance in front of and behind enemy lines.

No matter the skills and tactics they learned, or the equipment and weapons they were issued, they were unable to complete the reconnaissance mission in front of and behind enemy lines.

The 7th Steel Company was the only reconnaissance company, but it was also following the path of the assault company and forgetting its own job.

I think this is very dangerous and could lead to big mistakes.

Once a real battle breaks out, our 702nd Regiment will be pulled to the front line. As a main regiment with heavy equipment, it is very bulky.

If there is no reconnaissance force to explore the way ahead and intercept the enemy's scouts.

The consequences would most likely be fatal. The enemy would be able to get a thorough understanding of our army and even easily find the headquarters, and long-range artillery would be able to easily decapitate it.

Especially as future wars become more information-based, battlefield reactions will be faster, long-range strikes will become more common, and long-range missiles can be dropped from the sky at any time and anywhere.

Whether it is to scout the enemy's core or to defend our own core, reconnaissance troops are extremely important.

Therefore, in order to meet the needs of future modern warfare, I think the 7th Steel Company needs to undergo major changes.

Not only do we need to get it back on the path it should be on, but we also need to upgrade it a second time based on its original basis to make its tactics more diversified.

When I was in school, I read a lot of modern war documents from home and abroad through the school network.

Based on my personal understanding and the elements needed for future wars, and drawing on the reforms of the US military, I think the 7th Steel Company can be transformed into a synthetic company. "

In the original plot, the 702nd Regiment was unilaterally beaten, and even after its headquarters was destroyed, they didn't know where the enemy was.

The 7th Steel Company must bear the primary responsibility!
"Synthetic Company??"

Captain Wang was both familiar and unfamiliar with the name, and he frowned and said in confusion: "A few years ago, I remember reading in the military newspaper that some troops were trying to test the combined battalion combat mode.

Afterwards, there was no major movement, and it was never mentioned in the military newspaper again.

I think that this combined battalion is perhaps just a concept and is far from mature. No one knows whether it will work or not.

This is the first time I've heard of your synthetic team. How exactly do you do it? ? "

Although Captain Wang is a soldier of the older generation, we can tell from his words that he often reads books and newspapers and has a relatively good understanding of domestic military developments.

But even someone as experienced as him had never heard of a combined company.

This made him very curious.

"Captain, whether it is a combined battalion or a combined company, they are essentially the same, and they all exist under the framework of contract tactics. I have already written a set of theories for contract tactics, and the main part has been basically completed.

I want to use the combined tactics theory I wrote, use the 7th Steel Company as a pilot unit, change it into a synthetic company, and further improve the combat effectiveness of the 7th Steel Company.

If the transformation of the combined company is successful, it will bring infinite benefits to our army.

In the future, we can also set up a combined battalion, or even a combined regiment with a more complete tactical system, so that the 702nd Regiment can become a benchmark for the modernization reform of our army. "

“A benchmark for modern reform?”

Captain Wang is not a person who likes to eat cakes. He has never eaten cakes drawn by others in his life, but today he was attracted by the cake drawn by Chen Jun.

Modernization and information-based reform of the entire military is a general trend, and all senior military leaders know that they cannot escape it.

Captain Wang also knew that the 702 Regiment, which he led, would definitely be a part of the reform in the future, and he had no control over what the reform would eventually become.

Since he had no idea how to proactively reform, he could only passively accept his superiors' "drastic changes".

This made him very passive and very difficult to deal with.

But if you can take the initiative to reform and change your troops into what you want, and most importantly, you can reform successfully and get recognition from your superiors.

Thinking of this...

Captain Wang couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast!

It’s not that Captain Wang has never seen the world and is easily tempted. It’s just that the pie in the sky painted by Chen Jun is really to his liking.

Captain Wang really wants to change, but he doesn’t know how, and it’s becoming a headache for him.

Chen Jun took the initiative to bring it up at this time, and the theories he said were very tempting, which just suited Captain Wang's appetite.

How could he not be moved? How could he not hold back?

But while he was excited, Captain Wang was, after all, the head of a regiment. He needed to consider things more comprehensively and absolutely could not take risks with the entire regiment.

What if Chen Jun’s theory is nonsense and leads the 702nd Regiment into complete chaos?

Then the higher-ups will hold us accountable.

Captain Wang himself will certainly not be able to escape, and it would be a pity if Chen Jun, an outstanding new cadre, also got into trouble.

So no matter how excited Captain Wang was, he did not agree immediately.

Instead, after a few breaths of silence, he said in a very serious tone: "More than a decade ago, our army had experiments with combined battalions, and you just mentioned that many foreign countries now also have combined forces.

One thing is provable: combined forces definitely have their advantages.

But we have no experience in this area and we have to start from scratch. We also don’t know whether the combined forces can adapt to the local environment.

Therefore, the transformation of the 7th Steel Company into a synthetic company cannot be decided rashly.

How about this……"

Speaking of the important matter concerning the future of the 702nd Regiment, Captain Wang was not interested in attending the celebration banquet. All his attention was focused on the combined company.

Xiang Chenjun arranged: "Go to the cafeteria and call your company commander. Let's go to the small meeting room and discuss how to implement it."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Seeing that Captain Wang was so interested in the synthetic year, Chen Jun naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and try to get this done today.

So he ran back to the cafeteria in two steps.

Gao Cheng, who was now half drunk from drinking happily inside, followed Captain Wang all the way to the meeting room.
