From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 57: The Crucial Breakthrough Plan (asking for monthly tickets)
There are already nine people in the team, including the squad leader of the sixth squad and the squad leader. Originally, there was no need to assign new recruits. The reason why he was given a new recruit was considered a "reward" for Jin Dashan's leadership.

In the original plot, Chengcai was assigned to Class 7, so now he stays in Class 3.

It was influenced by Chen Jun!
After Gao Cheng had finalized the list of names in the recruit company, he was still a little confused about how to assign the six new recruits returning to the company.

Anyone who knows about the military knows that the troop's authorized strength and actual strength are rarely the same.

For example, a squad is said to have ten soldiers, but most regular squads are basically short of members most of the time.

Business trips, temporary secondments, various types of competitions, military training, family visits, further studies, retirement, hospitalization, flood relief...

There are so many factors, too numerous to count.

Dozens of situations will not occur at the same time, but some of them will definitely happen. Many people will not be in the company, and he may be missing a dozen people at will.

Except for special circumstances such as level one combat readiness, the company will not have any special restrictions.

The 100th Steel Company is part of the field force. The company does not have a cooking squad and a production squad yet. There are nine combat readiness squads in peacetime. Together with the company cadres and service personnel, there are only about people in total.

In addition, personnel changes in the field troops were more frequent, so the Seventh Company was basically never fully staffed.

Now many squads in the 7th Steel Company are short of people. Among the nine squads, only two have a full complement of ten people. There are not enough new recruits to go around.

As the chief officer of the seventh company, Gao Cheng needs to think about problems from the company's perspective.

How to distribute the six soldiers in a balanced manner so that the combat effectiveness of each class can be relatively equal is indeed a headache.

Since the recruit company had no instructor, deputy company commander or deputy instructor, the only cadre Gao Cheng could speak to was Chen Jun.

So they called Chen Jun over and discussed the issue for more than an hour.

Considering the armored reconnaissance organization of the 7th Steel Company and the newly replaced infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, the allocation of the six new recruits is not complicated.

But Chen Jun has more ambitious goals, so he has to consider more things when dividing his troops.

Chen Jun has already started to work on transforming the 7th Steel Company into a synthetic company under the existing conditions, and in the absence of support from higher-level units, he has first established a framework for synthetic operations.

Let the 7th Steel Company start from the lowest company-level unit and move towards the path of contract tactics.

However, according to the combat requirements of the contract tactics, the current structure of the 7th Company with nine regular combat squads is obviously completely incompatible with it.

It will definitely need major changes.

It must be divided into at least five combat units.

The artillery squad, air defense squad, reconnaissance squad, assault squad, and logistics support squad, these five combat units are the most basic structure of the combined company.

Only when each class has various tasks to be responsible for and carries out in-depth research in this area, and then supplemented by a large amount of coordinated integration training, and the unique role of each class can be brought into play, can the value of contract tactics be fully reflected.

Therefore, when Chen Jun discussed with Gao Cheng, the focus was basically on combined operations.

of course.

Chen Jun just thought all this in his mind and did not reveal a single thing to Gao Cheng.

Without any preparation, he suddenly proposed the concept of contract operations to Gao Cheng, and also said that under the existing armored reconnaissance company, the structure of the Steel 7th Company should be changed to a synthetic company.

For Gao Cheng, who, because of his straightforward personality, has been trying his best to build the 7th Steel Company into a spearhead company for attacking tough targets, and is used to charging head-on and engaging in offensive operations.

Chen Jun knew very well that it was necessary to change to a synthetic company that mainly relied on tactical coordination and each squad should be separated and work together.

The concept is indeed a bit too advanced, and Gao Cheng probably won't be able to accept it.

As he was just a student and not even a platoon leader, Chen Jun had very limited say and had to mobilize the 7th Steel Company.

It's really a bit too early, and it might even backfire.

So Chen Jun decided to take it step by step, first concentrating the elites in Shi Jin's third class, and then using his own abilities to build him up and upgrade him to an enhanced reconnaissance class.

Let’s use the third shift as a pilot first!

Towards the breakthrough point of the synthetic company!
As a time traveler, Chen Jun knew that there would be a mountain exercise in two years, a confrontation between regiments, and the entire 702nd Regiment would be dispatched.

At that time, the old A team headed by Yuan Lang will also join the Blues camp.

In the original plot, the 702nd Regiment was defeated miserably and was crushed in all aspects by the Blue Army. Its own command center was wiped out, but it didn't even know where the Blue Army's camp was.

Not to mention finding the Blue Army headquarters.

As the armored reconnaissance company of the 702nd Regiment, the th Steel Company was supposed to find the Blue Army camp during the exercise, infiltrate and investigate the Blue Army's information, fight against the Blue Army's reconnaissance forces, and provide key intelligence to the regiment headquarters.

Only in this way can the 702nd Regiment, as a heavy infantry regiment, play the role that its armored group and artillery units should play.

Artillery fire and tanks attack.

Completely defeat the Blues!
The 702th Steel Company was the only reconnaissance company of the nd Regiment. It should have shouldered the heavy responsibility and completed the above-mentioned tasks, but it performed very poorly in the exercise.

There wasn't even any reconnaissance activity at all, which didn't seem like a top company filled with elites at all.

They merely captured a high ground, then dug fortifications on the high ground and stationed their troops on the mountain. They did not send out any reconnaissance teams to scout the front line, nor did they conduct any reconnaissance deep into the enemy's interior.

It has completely become an ordinary infantry company and has failed to play the role that an armored reconnaissance company should play.

The 702th Steel Company failed to play its due role, and the entire nd Regiment became blind and deaf, allowing the enemy to manipulate them at will.

The only bright spot was Xu Sanduo, who relied on his advantage of running fast, his stupidity, and Yuan Lang's carelessness in underestimating the enemy, and captured Lieutenant Colonel Yuan Lang alive in the jungle.

Unfortunately, in this exercise, Yuan Lang was just the captain of the blue special operations team.

He didn't participate in commanding the battle at all!
Even if Yuan Lang was captured alive, it would not change the exercise at all. The disastrous defeat of the 702nd Regiment was not even worth talking about.

The armored reconnaissance company was completely useless in the exercise and did not play the role it should have.

This means that this unit has lost its value!
You have gathered a large number of outstanding soldiers in the regiment, but they cannot play any role in the war. Is there any point in keeping them?
Obviously not!

So it was welcomed.

As a direct result, shortly after the mountain live-fire exercise, the reorganization of the 7th Steel Company was officially put on the agenda, and the official document was issued within less than half a year.

The 702th Steel Company thus became part of the history of the nd Regiment, and the entire company was split into pieces.

The reason why Chen Jun wanted to devote all his efforts to building the third squad was that he wanted to use this reinforced squad to break the impasse in this crucial mountain exercise.
