From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 244: The killer! Thunderstorm tactics

No matter how resentful and angry Sun Dongping was, this place no longer belonged to him, and the pilot combined battalion had nothing to do with him anymore.

Acting Battalion Commander Gao Cheng will take over and open a new chapter for the pilot combined battalion.

Nine o'clock in the morning the next day.

The battalion party committee headed by acting battalion commander Gao Cheng, instructor Ma Tianxiang, chief of staff Man Guangzhi, a group of staff from the battalion headquarters, and the company commanders of the five companies gathered in the conference room.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get started."

Instructor Ma Tianxiang gave a brief opening speech, and then said in summary: "A lot of things have happened in our camp recently, and the impact has been quite large.

Now the morale of the entire battalion is greatly affected and the morale of the soldiers is very low. This is not conducive to the development of the combined battalion and must be corrected as soon as possible.

We have called everyone here today to brainstorm and discuss, which is like a discussion meeting. Everyone can express their ideas freely. "

The instructor finished his opening remarks at the meeting, then turned to Gao Cheng and said, "Captain Gao, the combined battalion is now in your hands. This is a sign of trust from your superiors, and I also believe that you are capable of leading the combined battalion.

Otherwise, you can tell us what aspects you think need to be improved? Or what method is more suitable for the development of the combined battalion. "

As an outstanding political cadre, Ma Tianxiang's remarks were very insightful.

It not only summarized the current situation of the camp and the crisis it was facing, pointed out the reasons for holding the meeting, but also specifically highlighted the status of the acting battalion commander.

It perfectly acts as a stabilizer for the team, playing a subtle role in connecting the top and the bottom, inside and outside.

Following the words of instructor Ma Tianxiang, everyone focused their attention on Gao Cheng.

This was the first time in Gao Cheng's life that he presided over a battalion-level meeting with more than ten participants. This was completely different from the meetings in the 7th Steel Company where only two or three people would sit there drinking tea and chatting and the meetings would be completed.

Suddenly being watched by so many cadres, what he said was related to the development of an entire battalion.

I insisted that I didn't feel any pressure at all.

Definitely fake.

However, Gao Cheng is a brave man, and this little pressure will at most make him nervous, but it is not enough to make him tremble. It is completely within his tolerance.

He glanced at everyone in the conference room, and his expression gradually became serious and determined.

He cleared his throat and said, "I am a rough man and I can't explain the big principles clearly, so I will just briefly talk about my thoughts.

In my personal opinion, combined battalions will inevitably be the focus of our military reform in the future.

The pilot combined battalion we are in not only needs to improve its own combat effectiveness, but also shoulders the important task of exploring new combat methods, new tactics, new training methods and new models for the entire 702nd Regiment.

The greater the responsibility, the heavier the burden. We must never relax even a little.

Although some things have happened recently that have affected everyone's morale, I believe that as long as we unite as one, find the right direction, and take Staff Officer Chen's ideas as the core, we will definitely be able to complete the tasks assigned by our superiors."

Croak, croak, croak…

There was enthusiastic applause.

Gao Cheng seldom speaks these official terms on weekdays, but that doesn't mean he can't speak them. As a top student from a military academy, he knows a lot.

Now that he is the battalion commander, he can speak fluently when it comes to serious matters.

Even though he had just taken the position of battalion commander, he already spoke like a division commander, with the flavor of speech that only belongs to a leader at that level.

He has his own aura and a strong sense of the overall situation.

"As expected of a second-generation military man with a background. He grew up in the military and has a different aura. When he becomes a battalion commander, he immediately behaves like one."

Chen Jun clapped his hands and praised himself secretly.

After listening to Gao Cheng's speech, Ma Tianxiang and Man Guangzhi also gave very good comments on Gao Cheng.

Compared to when Sun Dongping was the battalion commander, he was the only one who spoke during the meeting and no one else had the right to speak.

Gao Cheng's simple words made everyone feel Gao Cheng's sincerity.

Working under such a battalion commander, I can't say how relaxing and comfortable it would be, but at least you wouldn't feel frustrated, and even if you were tired, you would gain something from it.

Compared to the dark clouds when Sun Dongping was there, the atmosphere brought by Gaocheng was like the sunshine at noon.

Hot to scalding!
Gao Cheng listened to the applause from the crowd, and the last bit of nervousness in his heart gradually dissipated, and he completely immersed himself in the role of battalion commander.

"The training time for the next five months is very tight, and our task is arduous. We can no longer relax at all. In order to successfully complete the final acceptance, I think we need to improve in the following aspects."

Gao Cheng paused, then continued: “First, we must strengthen ideological construction and boost morale.

Through ideological and political education, we must make everyone understand the significance and mission of the combined forces battalion and enhance their sense of responsibility and honor.

We can no longer treat training as a joke just because we have an opinion about something or someone.

I can let bygones be bygones for what happened before, but if a similar situation occurs again, I will definitely deal with it resolutely one by one.”

Gao Cheng looked stern when he said this, and he looked specifically at the four company commanders sitting in the back.

Several company commanders also understood Gao Cheng’s meaning.

It is obvious that they are asked to get back on track. They have been messing around for several months and have wasted their time. Now they must get back on track.

Otherwise, don't blame Gao Cheng for turning against you. He will deal with it when the time comes.

Everyone was dissatisfied with Sun Dongping in the first place, not with the combined battalion. Now that Sun Dongping has been driven away, everyone's anger has subsided.

Naturally, they will not play any tricks again and will definitely cooperate fully in building a combined battalion.

So when faced with Gao Cheng's gaze, no one tried to avoid it. Instead, they used their eyes and expressions to express their firm attitude at the moment.

Gao Cheng was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and then continued: "The soldiers' low morale is largely due to their lack of confidence in certain officers and their dissatisfaction with certain institutional plans.

Now everything is back on track, not only will the cancelled subsidies continue to be paid to everyone, but the missed months will also be made up later.”

Croak, croak, croak…

There was another round of warm applause.

The restoration of salary subsidies for soldiers has a very special meaning for them, and it is not as common as a few dozen dollars on the surface.

"The second point is to optimize the training mode."

Gao Cheng held up two fingers and said, "The combat mode of the combined battalion is very different from that of traditional troops. We need to explore more scientific and efficient training methods to improve the coordinated combat capabilities of officers and soldiers.

I suggest introducing more practical training subjects to simulate real battlefield environments and allow soldiers to improve their skills through actual operations.

I think the specific implementation methods and training plans can be handed over to Staff Officer Chen. Does anyone have any objections to what I said?
If you have any objections, you can raise your hands now. If you don’t have any objections, just proceed with the implementation.”

Chen Jun was the absolute core, and everyone in the 702nd Regiment had no doubts about Chen Jun's ability. When Chen Jun was in charge of the training of the combined battalion, everyone was convinced.

Naturally, no one would raise their hand to object!
"Okay, no one has any objections, let's continue."

Gao Cheng was not surprised by the result and continued straightforwardly: "Third, the training volume is huge and the consumption is huge, so the logistics support must be in place.

The combined forces battalion has a different way of fighting, and its equipment and material requirements are also different from those of traditional forces. We need to establish a more flexible and efficient logistics support system to ensure the smooth progress of training and operations.

I was the deputy battalion commander in charge of logistics. Staff Officer Chen was in charge of training matters, and I was personally in charge of logistics.

Fourth and finally, we must strengthen internal communications.

A combined battalion is composed of various arms, and its combat methods and personnel complexity far exceed those of traditional troops, requiring closer collaboration between various units.

Teeth and tongue will fight, and different units need frequent integration training, which inevitably leads to disharmony.

I suggest that we hold regular coordination meetings to promptly resolve problems that arise during training and in daily life, and to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts."

Gao Cheng really has a lot of knowledge.

In summary, each of the four points raised is very appropriate.

Gao Cheng accurately pointed out every key issue within the current combined battalion and also provided solutions.

These four seemingly simple points prove that Gao Cheng is capable enough to be the battalion commander.

Even if the commander came, he wouldn't be able to find any fault with it.

Compared with the previous battalion commander Sun Dongping, Gao Cheng not only has not received any education at the National Defense University, has not been sent to foreign combined forces for further study, but is also not as good as Sun Dongping in understanding contract tactics.

In every other aspect apart from this, Sun Dongping is beaten from all angles.

Even if he didn't say it out loud, he would have doubts in his heart whether Gao Cheng, who had only been a company commander and jumped three levels in just a few months, was qualified to be a deputy regimental-level battalion commander.

For example, instructor Ma Tianxiang and third company commander Huang Yang.

After listening to the four points summarized by Gao Cheng, there were no more doubts. Everyone believed that with Gao Cheng, the combined battalion would definitely pass the final acceptance.

After all, no one has forgotten that Gaocheng still has the most powerful and capable general in history.

The training is handled by this monster Chen Jun, and Chen Jun is also the backbone of the subsequent command of operations. Gao Cheng is in charge of logistics and overall planning.

As long as Gao Cheng and Chen Jun are on the same page, the two of them can achieve great success together.

Gao Cheng, who gained everyone's recognition with simple words, also felt more confident along with the words of the condom, and the aura of the battalion commander was already beginning to show.

His eyes softened as he scanned the crowd again, his tone becoming a little gentler.

With a smile, he said: "These are some of my preliminary ideas. How to implement them specifically and whether there are areas for improvement still need your brainstorming.

But I believe that as long as we work together, the combined battalion will be able to overcome the current difficulties and usher in a new era for it.”

Croak, croak, croak…

The applause broke out again.

This time the noise was louder and longer-lasting, and a dozen people made it sound like dozens of people.

Moreover, as Gao Cheng finished his speech, the gloom brought about by the dismal failure of the first acceptance inspection completely dissipated, and the atmosphere in the conference room became noticeably more lively.

The company commanders and a group of staff officers also relaxed and began to express their opinions.

The meeting entered a heated discussion phase!

Everyone spoke freely about all the big and small problems they had discovered during the previous four months of training.

The training ground and camp were newly built, and new things always have various small problems.

For example, there were insufficient training equipment, the logistics and fuel replenishment procedures of each company were not refined enough, and there were problems with the speed at which the cooking platoon served meals, resulting in frequent delays in meals, etc.

These seemingly trivial matters are actually related to the foundation of the combined battalion.

If it cannot be effectively resolved, it will inevitably affect combat effectiveness.

Everyone raises various small issues, which are then coordinated and registered by the meeting clerk, and then gradually improved and rectified.

Trying anything new won’t work overnight, and the purpose of a pilot is to identify small problems.

Seeing that everyone was in the right mood and the discussion in the meeting room was extremely heated, Chen Jun couldn't help but smile.

This is the combined battalion he wants to see!
But when Sun Dongping was in power, every meeting was lifeless, like an old man, completely without any energy.

With the appointment of the new battalion commander Gao Cheng, the combined battalion has regained its youthful vitality.

The new power brings new things.

When Chen Jun returned to his post as training staff officer and distributed the training plan he had developed to each company, the soldiers were particularly enthusiastic about training.

Due to the high quality brought by the NCO camp, the soldiers' learning ability is also exceptionally strong.

The speed of learning things.

Faster than Chen Jun expected.

In addition, during the first four months of training, the company commanders below simply went against Sun Dongping and did not train according to his training plan.

It’s not that there is no training, but I just slack off on the training ground every day.

Instead, he still followed Chen Jun's training plan and carried out normal training on the training ground. In fact, he had already learned Chen Jun's training plan to a certain extent.

Last but not least.

Now the entire combined battalion is united and morale has reached an unprecedented level.

Influenced by these three factors, Chen Jun developed a training plan that would have taken a month to complete, but the soldiers were able to complete it in just three weeks.

If you can save one week a month, you can save five weeks in five months.

This means I have more than a month of spare time.

With so much spare time, Chen Jun can be more bold and add some more challenging subjects to the originally planned basic training competition.

They even spent a full half month to create a set of powerful "tactics" specifically for the combined battalion.

Chen Jun named it the "Thunder Storm" tactic!
It is imperative to use this set of exclusive customized tactics to put on a magnificent show that will shock the entire army in the acceptance confrontation that is related to the life and death of the combined battalion.

Open a new chapter for the 7th Steel Company in the most perfect and dazzling way.
