From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 197: Put down the straight hook and catch old A!

The logistics support company has heavy tasks and a lot of work, so it must be a reinforced company with five platoons.

The company headquarters remains unchanged, also with 10 people.

The five subordinates are all reinforced platoons.

They are the cooking platoon, supply platoon, maintenance platoon, medical platoon and engineering platoon.

The cooking platoon is equipped with seven field cooking vehicles, five for regular deployment and two for emergency use.

Plus six transport trucks, an off-road jeep, a mobile storage container truck, a freezer truck, and a water storage truck.

Transport trucks and cooking vehicles are assigned to each squad, and other vehicles are centrally deployed by the cooking platoon leader.

To ensure that each cooking squad can support a company, they can prepare meals for no less than one hundred people within an hour in a field environment, and deliver them to each combat squad at the same time.

Each cooking squad is equipped with ten cooks, and the total number of cooks in the cooking platoon is fifty.

A cooking platoon takes up half of a regular company's establishment, which may seem like a lot, but cooking support is a big deal and must be perfected.

Only when you are well fed and well-drinked can you have the strength to fight.

The second supply platoon is the blood vessel of the entire battalion, and is required to deliver all kinds of combat supplies and equipment needed by the entire company to each company in a timely manner.

The tasks they undertake are equally important, but they are different from those of the kitchen staff.

The supply platoon consists more of vehicles than personnel; it only requires someone to drive the supplies and the company can unload them itself.

Basically, a driver and an operator can do it.

Therefore, the supply platoon only needs three shifts, each responsible for the three major sections.

They are the fuel squad, ammunition squad and supplies squad.

The fuel class is divided into five groups, each with two people, for a total of ten people.

Mechanized troops are all armored vehicles and tanks, each of which is a gas guzzler. They consume huge amounts of fuel and have a huge demand for fuel.

Moreover, after the tanker truck arrives at the company, it cannot be emptied in a short period of time and needs to stop at the company for use.

Therefore, more fuel tankers and refueling trucks are needed, as well as off-road vehicles for personnel turnover. A total of 12 fuel tankers, 8 refueling trucks and one military jeep are required.

The operating mode of the ammunition squad is the same as that of the fuel squad, with a squad of ten people divided into five groups.

It is equipped with 8 ordinary tarpaulin trucks and one off-road military vehicle.

The final supplies team is comprehensive, and all the remaining miscellaneous supply work is under the unified responsibility of this team.

It is enough to configure 7 trucks, 2 power supply trucks and 1 jeep.

The third maintenance platoon is the greatest guarantee for the entire combined battalion to maintain the normal combat and endurance of vehicles. It requires five squads with a total of fifty people.

The maintenance platoon equipment requires 6 mechanical maintenance vehicles, 3 electronic maintenance vehicles, 5 cranes, 2 jeeps, and 5 ordinary trucks.

Ensure that even if every company’s vehicle breaks down, the maintenance platoon has enough personnel and equipment to repair it.

The fourth sanitation platoon is divided into three classes, with ten people in each class, totaling thirty people.

One of the classes is the driver class, and the remaining two classes are all first aid classes. Every two to three people and a driver form a treatment team, which is used for rapid first aid on the battlefield, subsequent transfer of the wounded, etc.

Five armored emergency vehicles, five comprehensive treatment vehicles, one jeep and one truck are required.

Finally, the fifth engineering platoon is a reinforced platoon, responsible for emergency road repairs, bridge building, mine clearance, camp construction, etc., all kinds of work that engineers are good at.

There are five classes in total, with a total of fifty people.

We need three bulldozers, three excavators, two cranes, 10 heavy trucks, five light trucks, three construction vehicles, and two jeeps.

The final summary of the combined battalion is:
The battalion headquarters has 22 people, the tank company has 46 people, the artillery and air defense company has 88 people, the electronic warfare company has 100 people, the special reconnaissance company has 108 people, and the engineer support company has 230 people.

About 595 people in total!
The main equipment of the combined battalion includes: 12 main battle tanks, 21 armored vehicles, 8 self-propelled mortars, 8 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and the remaining 97 various auxiliary vehicles.

A combined forces battalion of less than 600 men would require nearly 150 vehicles.

This is the mechanized force!

Almost every link in the entire battle is inseparable from the vehicles, so logistics personnel account for more than one-third of the total.

A large group of people fighting around a small group of people...

This is the structure of the future army!

The reason why the bald eagle is so obsessed with oil and will appear wherever there is oil is because of the importance of oil to war.

Troops all over the world are mechanizing. Mechanized troops without fuel will become a pile of scrap metal.

This is very scary.

Only by controlling oil can we seize the initiative in the war.

And this is just a pilot combined battalion. If it is a fully equipped perfect combined battalion, logistics will account for a larger proportion, there will be more vehicles configured, and the dependence on fuel will be greater.

This fully proves the saying -

Wars are fought with logistics and money.

It took Chen Jun two full days to write out the organization of the field assault combined battalion, and then he personally drove it to the regiment headquarters.

After reading the organizational data of the combined battalion, Captain Wang was also surprised by this unprecedented organization.

He commented with great admiration: "Chen Jun, no wonder you are so confident and dare to guarantee that starting from the combined battalion, the combined forces are fully capable of fighting independently.

With your meticulous logistics system, you have already formed an army of your own. I'm afraid you won't feel too much pressure even when facing a conventional infantry regiment.

Moreover, with the logistics you have configured, there will be no problem even if you add another tank company or an armored infantry company."

Captain Wang has a good vision and understands the advantages and disadvantages of mechanized troops.

Although the 702nd Regiment has about 1,500 to 1,600 people, there are only about 1,000 actual combat personnel, and there are several hundred logistics personnel.

Although it is less than one-third of the combined battalion, it is definitely more than one-quarter, not less.

It’s just that the logistics forces of the combined battalion have been integrated and all of them are assigned to one company, which is responsible for unified allocation.

It will be more efficient in operation and can utilize resources more effectively.

Unlike the current 702nd Regiment, although the cooking is supplied by the battalion, maintenance and the like are the responsibility of each company.

The most important thing is that there is no engineering company, which has a great impact on the heavy infantry company.

"Logistics is the heart of the combined arms battalion. As long as this heart can function well, it will be easy to add more personnel to it as long as the pilot is passed. As for which specific arms to add, we can adapt to local conditions."

Chen Jun explained the comments made by the regiment commander: "The combined battalion is just a combat mode, and how to deploy troops depends on combat needs.

The heavy combined battalion relies mainly on tank firepower, the assault combined battalion relies mainly on speed, and the mountain combined battalion can add more infantry companies.

I plan to transform the combined battalion we are piloting this time into a field assault combined battalion.

So if the pilot is successful, adding a tank company and an armored infantry company would be a very good choice to maximize combat effectiveness.”

"Okay, I believe in your arrangement." Captain Wang did not question any of Chen Jun's decisions. The organization of this pilot combined battalion was approved and someone was immediately sent to the division.

The sooner the military region approves it, the sooner the combined battalion can be put into operation.

Everyone is looking forward to it!!
The additional materials required by the military district were sent up, and all that remained was to wait for the results. Chen Jun took advantage of this time to lay the groundwork for trapping Old A.

Squadron A brings together almost the entire army's elite, including all kinds of talents from the navy, army and air force.

For the combined forces created by Chen Jun, special warfare personnel are essential troops.

The demand for a combined battalion at this level is not very strong. After all, the wars they face are usually not at the strategic level, and they can even only be a supporting role in a battle.

No special forces assistance is needed.

Once it reaches the combined forces regiment, brigade or combined forces division, every battle is enough to affect the entire campaign.

Special operations battalion or special operations battalion has become an indispensable branch of the military organization.

However, if we really have to wait until we reach the level of a combined regiment or above and then try to prepare an elite special forces unit, it will be an extremely difficult task.

It is difficult to train a special forces unit. It is not just about technology but more about money and time.

Therefore, when Chen Jun was in the combined battalion, he had to start laying the groundwork for the future special operations battalion, or even the special operations regiment.

Battalion A is a unit directly under the General Staff, bringing together elite members of the navy, army and air force.

Just digging out a few people would be enough for Chen Jun to have the skeleton of a special operations force. If he could dig out a few more Old A's, the problem would be solved completely, allowing Chen Jun to have a special operations team.

Therefore, Chen Jun has been thinking about how to dig people out from Team A.

The veteran team members have been in Team A for a long time and have developed a strong sense of belonging. In addition, the special forces soldiers have firm beliefs that are difficult to shake easily.

In addition to orders from superiors, there is a need to recruit new members from the old members of Team A.

Other things are almost impossible.

Therefore, Chen Jun needs to prepare the hook in advance, attract the captain of the Railway A Brigade, and perform a classic strategy for him.

The railway knew that this was a trap and had no choice but to jump in.

If you want the railway to fall into your trap willingly, no tricks can be played on it. There is only one way to make it helpless.

This method is the most practical, and it is something that most people cannot do.

Something that makes his heart beat!
As long as the value of the thing that makes his heart beat is high enough, it will be enough to pry open his heart and force him to exchange his soldiers for it.

In today's world, the only thing that can make the railway excited, besides top military geniuses like Chen Jun, is the technology that can make Team A stronger.

Coincidentally.

In his previous life, Chen Jun was the chief special operations instructor, and he was best at modern special operations tactics.

Take out some tactics that will be developed in the future, or the top tactics that are currently blocked by foreign countries, and apply them to this era.

That's not just a small lead, it's a big win that can drive people crazy.

The bait that Chen Jun prepared to use to fish on the railway was the top tactics and special combat skills that only he knew in this era, or the top tactics and special combat skills that only he knew in the country.

Ever since.

From the second half of December to the beginning of January, this is nearly a month.

Chen Jun submitted three special papers to the military newspaper, which did not describe the specific content in detail, but only gave a superficial description.

The three papers are:
"What are modern special forces", "The value of the anti-terrorism CQB tactical system", "Special warfare technology vision 1 or 2".

The three articles are almost full of hooks and have extremely obvious tendencies. Ordinary people cannot understand their value, but the more knowledgeable people are, the more they can discover the mysteries and are deeply fascinated by them.

Chen Jun believed that as long as someone from Tielu or Yuan Lang saw these three papers published in the military newspaper, they would definitely be hooked by his hook.

As for whether the military newspaper will pass approval, Chen Jun has no pressure at all.

With Chen Jun's current fame in the group army and his reputation having appeared in the military newspaper several times, his name was signed with the two words "Chen Jun" at the end.

This was enough to allow the military district’s propaganda department’s military newspaper to publish these three articles.

The reason why it was not sent directly to the railway or Yuan Lang, but was transitioned through the military newspaper, was also intentional on the part of Chen Jun.

Chen Jun wanted to recruit people from Team A, and the railway wanted to recruit Chen Jun to Team A.

Both of them are greedy for each other, which is a typical game.

In this situation of mutual game, Chen Jun took the initiative to submit a paper to Team A. Even though it was a good thing, he ultimately lost in momentum.

The opponent's momentum is even stronger, so it will be more difficult for Chen Jun to do his next task.

Through such a clever transition in the military newspaper, the relationship between the two sides was completely reversed, and it became that the railway needed help from Chen Jun, and the initiative was in Chen Jun's hands.

Then Chen Jun will have a better way to get the talents he wants from Team A.

Chen Jun's preparations were extremely meticulous and the military district's propaganda department really gave Chen Jun face and promoted him as a model.

Not only were all three papers published in the military newspaper, but they all occupied prominent positions on the front page.

It’s a pity that at that time, domestic special operations, especially the building of modern special forces, were still in their infancy, and Battalion A was the earliest pilot unit.

Others like Wolf Fang, Black Tiger, Dragon, etc., cannot compare with Team A at this moment.

Some of them are just special forces upgraded from scouts, and they still have a long way to go before they can become truly modern special forces.

Some are even still in the planning stage, and it is unknown how long it will take for them to be implemented.

Traditional field troops or border defense forces have no demand for special operations forces, and reconnaissance troops can already meet their needs.

The most important thing is that the paper published by Chen Jun only has an introductory title and does not have any substantive content.

And
The length of the military newspaper is very limited, and it is impossible to write a long essay in full. Chen Jun can only make the content as attractive as possible within the limited time.

Use these three straight hooks to fish up the railway.

Therefore, the three papers published by Chen Jun did not cause any stir in the military region, and there were not even many people who stood up to discuss them.

However, Yuan Lang, who was far away at the A Battalion base, was holding a cigarette after lunch. He picked up the newspaper on the table and was about to take a look at it to relax.

As a result, the huge words on the homepage immediately attracted his attention.

He was uncontrollably immersed in it, and not feeling satisfied after reading just one copy, he turned out all previous military newspapers to see if there were any more papers.

Only people who know the value of something can understand it, and Yuan Lang is obviously someone who knows the value of something.

Yuan Lang was so engrossed in watching that he even forgot to smoke. It was not until the cigarette burned down to the butt and finally burned his fingers that he suddenly woke up.

Then his face was replaced by ecstasy, and the excitement almost burst out of his eyes.

Unable to contain his excitement any longer, he picked up the three military newspapers he had read, rushed out of the office, and ran straight to the captain's office as fast as he could.
