From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 66 Gao Cheng's Decision

The roles of scouts and special forces on the battlefield are almost the same. Except for the fact that they cannot fight terrorism or riots, they do the same work on the battlefield.

Chen Jun once served as the chief special warfare instructor and had built strategic-level special forces.

As long as he puts his heart and soul into training them, the combat capability of the scouts under his command on the battlefield will definitely not be any better than that of the special forces.

At that time, even if they face Team A head-on, the scouts under Chen Jun will not be at all nervous.

Their combat effectiveness is even stronger than that of regular special operations squadrons.

You can just knock it over!
Because the scouts under Chen Jun's command are not fighting alone like the special forces, he also has the support of the firepower platoon and the tactical platoon in the rear.

As long as the reconnaissance squad finds the exact location, artillery shells will rain down on them from several kilometers away.

No matter what kind of special forces soldier he is, he will be turned into meat paste
The 7th Steel Company can conduct its own reconnaissance and attack, thus forming a "self-sufficient" cycle, and its combat effectiveness will be increased several times.

If there are too many reconnaissance missions to handle, they will be assigned to the reserve second shift.

With regard to the combat requirements of a heavy infantry regiment, two sufficiently powerful reconnaissance units are definitely sufficient, and there is no shortage of reconnaissance forces.

If there is a need for a larger reconnaissance mission, it will exceed the regiment's capacity.

That is the business of the division's reconnaissance battalion.

As for the 7th Steel Company, its entire organization was completely disrupted. There were only a few squads of soldiers holding rifles left in the company, and it had almost lost the ability to engage in frontal assault operations.

That's no big deal!
Because the 7th Steel Company is a reconnaissance company, and it is not a frontal assault company at all.

The reason why the situation has turned out like this is that Gao Cheng was running in the wrong direction and turned the 7th Steel Company into an assault company.

They abandoned the work that the reconnaissance company was supposed to do and ran off to take over the work of the armored infantry regiment.

Typical of putting your efforts in the wrong place!
The company structure changed by Chen Jun is what the 7th Steel Company should show, instead of confronting the enemy head-on.

Very shocking!
Whether it was the company commander, the instructor, the other two platoon leaders, or the squad leaders and backbone members of the nine squads, they were all shocked by Chen Jun’s suggestion.

That was a path they had never imagined and a direction they had never thought of.

but.

Although Chen Jun's proposal for the internal reorganization of the 7th Steel Company did sound very reasonable and feasible, no one dared to agree to it rashly.

The changes are really too big.

The configuration of each class was changed, the combat method was changed, which was equivalent to changing the entire 7th Steel Company.

There are no actual examples to compare with, no factual cases to examine, and our army does not have such a reconnaissance company.

Making such a big change to the company rashly has completely transformed it into another combat mode.

It is indeed a bit too aggressive.

No one would be able to handle this overly avant-garde tactical thinking and tactical theory that had never been heard of if something went wrong, so the squad and platoon leaders naturally did not have the confidence.

Even Gao Cheng, the bravest man in the regiment, who considered himself the boss of all fifteen companies in the regiment.

He was trembling in his heart at Chen Jun's subversive improvement method. He had no confidence at all and frowned deeply.

If someone else had come up with such a bold idea, Gao Cheng would have stopped him long ago and told him to stop talking nonsense.

Unfortunately, the person who made the suggestion was Chen Jun, a rising and outstanding cadre in the 702nd Regiment and the most sought-after person in the th Steel Company.

Gao Cheng believed that Chen Jun was not doing this recklessly, and there must be some meaning behind his doing this.

However, there was no instruction from the superiors, and our army had no previous cases. Chen Jun's plan was the first of its kind, and it was too risky to do so. No one knew what to do, or even how to make suggestions.

The conference room was silent for a moment.

Chen Jun knew that whenever a subversive theory appeared, it would be difficult for ordinary people to accept it in a short period of time, and it would take enough time to verify and digest it.

So he didn't say anything else, leaving everyone enough time to think.

Before we knew it, five or six minutes had passed and quiet discussions began to break out in the conference room, with people discussing the feasibility with their counterparts nearby.

Although more and more people were participating in the discussion, still no one dared to stand up and express their opinions.

A few more minutes passed like this.

In Gaocheng, who had absolute decision-making power in the Seventh Company, he carefully weighed the pros and cons for more than ten minutes, taking into account the plan and Chen Jun's emotions.

He decided not to take such a risk and compromised on Chen Jun's proposal.

That is to say, selectively execute a part first, and then decide whether to add the remaining part based on the subsequent training performance.

This is indeed the safest option!
"Be quiet, I'll say a few words."

Gao Cheng's voice broke the silence. Everyone who was whispering stopped and all their eyes were focused on Gao Cheng, waiting for him to make the final decision.

"After careful consideration and discussion with my instructor, I have a preliminary opinion."

Gao Cheng glanced at everyone present, and finally stopped at Chen Jun and said, "The improvement plan proposed by the platoon leader is indeed very imaginative and creative, and it definitely has advantages in some aspects.

However, looking at all the troops in the army, even those that are at the forefront of information reform, have never had a similar company organization.

So, I think it would be too risky to do all of them.

My instructor and I agree that we should first use a portion of it to improve the company, and then make adjustments based on the situation.

The specific arrangement is as follows..."

As the company commander, Gao Cheng could make the decision on his own without the need for a vote from the squad leaders and platoon leaders. He picked up the paper that was covered with words and began to announce it to everyone.

The first step was to adopt Chen Jun’s firepower platoon suggestion and place all three infantry fighting vehicles in three rows.

Three infantry fighting vehicles placed in a platoon structure can form an effective fire coverage strike, which is in line with Gao Cheng's idea of ​​attacking the 7th Steel Company.

The suggestion to add a mortar in each infantry fighting vehicle was not adopted by Gao Cheng.

Instead, it was transformed into a standard infantry fighting vehicle squad!

That is, one vehicle is equipped with two machine gunners, plus a three-person crew consisting of the commander, driver, and gunner, and the rest of the people all hold assault rifles.

This configuration is still that of an assault company, and you can rush to the top of the hill to attack a position right after getting off the vehicle.

The original configuration of one sniper group, one air defense group, and one anti-tank group in each platoon is retained, with one of the three groups in each class.

The configuration of the second row has basically not changed and remains the same.

There is one sniper, anti-aircraft and anti-tank group in each squad, and each vehicle is equipped with two machine gunners, plus a vehicle commander and a vehicle-mounted machine gunner.

The other soldiers all had assault rifles and could fire as soon as they got off the vehicle.

The last remaining row has slightly bigger changes.
