From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 64 Internal Reorganization of the th Steel Company

The mid-year military competition is a feature of the Chinese military, and it also serves as a review of how much each branch of the military has gained after a year of hard training.

The field army does not have the border defense mission of the border defense force, so the mid-year competition has almost become its only big stage.

Every unit wants to show its style and capabilities on this big stage to make its military career more exciting.

All the soldiers, except the latecomers, want to shine on this big stage.

The T Division is a heavy mechanized infantry division. The military branches it covers are very complex, and each branch excels in different specialties.

For example, the artillery unit is good at ground artillery technology, but the helicopter brigade definitely knows nothing about it. The scouts can capture the enemy, but the tank soldiers definitely can't.

Each branch of the military has different professional expertise, so their professional skills cannot be put together for a competition.

Therefore, the T Division’s mid-year competition does not compete in professional fields, but is more like a “civilian version”, competing only in the three common subjects of shooting, military physical education, and comprehensive subjects.

Don’t think it will be easy just because it is not a professional one, in fact it will be more difficult.

Common subjects are subjects that all troops must practice. External equipment and facilities are of no help and it mainly depends on the quality of the individual soldier.

It is purely based on the personal ability of a single soldier, which means that higher quality requirements are placed on the soldiers.

The purer something is, the harder it is to reach its extreme.

There are no fixed training tasks to complete. In order to get good results in the competition, troops with sufficiently relaxed conditions will even specially select a group of professional elites to form a competition team for full-time training.

This situation is very common in the 702nd Regiment, and most companies do this.

After all, the troops garrisoning the capital need to protect the capital and cannot easily leave their bases without special circumstances. Even exercises are rarely carried out.

Life is destined to be boring and monotonous, and there will be fewer opportunities to gain honor.

As the only annual event and the only place to win honors, the mid-year competition will naturally be given special attention by each company.

It is only natural to select the best and most outstanding students in the company to form a special training team for competition.

Because of Gao Cheng's presence, the 7th Steel Company has a relatively strong attitude towards the outside world. There is never a lack of pioneers in the company, and every soldier is capable and capable, so the company is indeed quite strong.

In addition, Gao Cheng himself is quite proud and disdains to set up a special training team for competitions.

Therefore, in all the major competitions in previous years, the 7th Steel Company had never formed a special training team for the competitions.

It has been almost time for the mid-year competition, and Gao Cheng has organized the entire company to take assessments for the events of the competition. The top scorers in each event are selected to form a competition team, which is then taken to the competition venue in one car.

The whole process was very simple and clear, and there was no special preparation at all in the early stages.

It was precisely Gao Cheng's overconfidence that led to the failure of last year's mid-year competition, and in the end the championship of the competition was won by the Red Third Company.

Chen Jun is very ambitious about the mid-year competition and must not leave any hidden dangers.

Other companies can significantly improve their competition results by forming special training teams for competitions, so there is no need for the Seventh Company to just try to show off.

The Seventh Company is already very strong, and now we have set up a special training team for competitions.

We pick out the specialized talents in each project and form a special training team for competitions, allowing them to continue to delve deeper into the projects they are good at and continue to improve their performance. After a few months, their results will surely reach a higher level.

As for the company’s own training tasks, there is more than enough time in the second half of the year.

It will not affect the normal training of the company!
In order to persuade Gao Cheng to change his mind, Chen Jun formed the first special training team for competition in the 7th Steel Company and spent several days doing detailed research.

Finally, he wrote a complete plan and was just waiting for the division to issue this year's competition items. Then he went to find Gao Cheng and asked him to persuade him to cooperate with him.

Before the division headquarters issued the order for the competition, everything in the 7th Steel Company began to proceed normally. Gao Cheng specially called a group of cadres and backbones to a small conference room to discuss how to use the new equipment.

Previously, the 63th Steel Company only had Type armored personnel carriers, and all nine squads were equipped with the same vehicle, so naturally the entire company conducted the same training.

Whether it is vehicle-mounted shooting, anti-infrared operations, camouflage reconnaissance, covert capture of the enemy, etc.

The whole company undergoes unified training.

But now the equipment has changed, and everything has to change.

The core equipment of the armored reconnaissance company, which is mainly mechanized, is the armored personnel carrier, and most of the training is conducted around armored vehicles.

Now the 702nd Regiment has been re-equipped as a whole, and the 7th Steel Company has added a new infantry fighting vehicle from a single armored personnel carrier.

From one type of armored vehicle, it became two types of armored vehicles.

Infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles are different vehicles. The firepower of infantry fighting vehicles is several times that of the latter, and they are also capable of medium-range fire strikes.

In order to maximize the power of the infantry fighting vehicles, the Seventh Company's combat methods must be greatly changed, and the company's overall structure also needs to be adjusted.

Based on the personnel configuration of the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle, the current class configuration of the 7th Company would have to be changed.

The 63th Steel Company now has nine combat squads, which are still equipped with the previous Type armored personnel carrier, but the combat unit composition of each squad has been differentiated.

Each squad is assigned an armored personnel carrier, equipped with a driver, a vehicle-mounted machine gunner, two general-purpose machine gunners, a two-person professional team, and the rest are equipped with assault rifles.

The professional groups of two of them are quite special. They all use weapons that are the ceiling for individual soldiers, and there are three types of professional groups in total.

They are the sniper group equipped with 85 sniper rifle, the individual anti-tank group equipped with 40 rifle, and the individual air defense missile group equipped with Vanguard 1.

Because the Seventh Company previously used unified tanks and was organized as a conventional reconnaissance unit, the configurations of the three platoons were the same.

Squads 1, 4 and 7 are sniper teams, squads 2, 5 and 8 are soldier anti-tank teams, and squads 3, 6 and 9 are individual air defense missile teams.

This way there is exactly one in each of the three platoons, and the combat structure of each platoon is the same.

The advantages and disadvantages are obvious.

The advantage is that each platoon can do everything, the disadvantage is that each platoon can only do a little.

This model is very traditional. With the development of modern science and technology, the technical requirements are constantly improving, and the capabilities of the troops must also be more refined.

If Chen Jun wants to change into a combined company, this "metropolitan" model must be disrupted.

By integrating the three main air defense units into an air defense squad, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted on the battlefield will definitely far exceed that of three air defense groups.

The original plot is about a mountain live-fire exercise.

The Blue Army dispatched a helicopter formation, which attacked the Red Army headquarters at low altitude, avoiding radar, and successfully destroyed the Red Army headquarters.

During this period, the Seventh Company stationed on the position discovered the helicopter formation in advance, but unfortunately failed to intercept it effectively.

The biggest drawback at that time was that the three platoons were divided into three different positions and commanded by three platoon leaders. The orders had to be passed through several channels, making it impossible to form a quick and effective integrated attack.

The helicopter flew past at such a high speed, there was no way it could be intercepted.

It's the air defense platoon...

Three orders become one, three commands become one, efficiency is greatly improved, and the probability of intercepting a helicopter formation is increased by at least nine times.
