Chapter 288: Implementation of manpower establishment, is one battalion comparable to an infantry regiment?
Looking at the speed at which the new policy for the pilot battalion was issued, Chen Jun could estimate how much the group army attached importance to the first battalion.
If he handed over the personnel and firepower organization list now, I am afraid that within three days, the nine subordinate companies would be able to gather more than half of the people.
The so-called training of soldiers first trains the mind.
The current conditions of the first battalion cannot accommodate even 500 people, let alone 700, 800 or even thousands of people.
Therefore, the first step in the initial construction is to expand the new dormitories and vehicle and gun range.
At least the veterans who come here can see a prosperous and magnificent development momentum.
Otherwise, when people come over, they have to sleep on the floor. The vehicle and artillery field is shabby and not as big as the brigade logistics pig farm.
Then how can we do ideological work for new comrades?
The original intention of training the mind is that at least one battalion can bear the name of the pilot camp on the surface, so that it can be done.
So Chen Jun is not in a hurry, not even in the early stage of work.
He planned to go out and take a look first.
Although Staff Liang is somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of self-consciousness, efficiency can still be ensured by assigning him tasks and pointing out the key points.
After Chen Jun came out of the conference room, he turned into his office next door and put the meeting minutes on his desk. He then took out the notebooks recording other battalion key players from the drawer and put them in his pocket.
Then he strode out of the camp headquarters.
The heavy rain lasted until midnight, but fortunately it has cleared up today, and the air is filled with the smell of green grass.
Smelling this comforting smell and welcoming the hot and humid air waves hitting my face, to be honest, it is not exciting.
After only a moment of going downstairs, Chen Jun felt that the military uniform on his body was as if he had just put it on after washing it and not drying it. It was quite awkward.
But Chen Jun obviously doesn't have much free time to deal with the discomfort caused by this kind of weather.
He passed by Yilianshi.
I noticed that company commander Ma Hongjie was gathering for a meeting. The old man stood in front of the company with his hands on his hips and his right hand raised, lecturing loudly.
Chen Jun just stopped and looked at it for a moment, and then ignored him. Lao Ma himself has a resolute and resolute temper, as long as there is a task.
The type who can finish the task in ten minutes will definitely not want to delay it until fifteen minutes. At the moment, it is just right to leave it to him to deal with the tasks that he does not want to stay in the team.
Because Chen Jun himself needs to know as soon as possible how many people from the first battalion will leave during this year's retirement season, and how many of the old soldiers can be left behind, so that he can arrange people for the new company later.
Walking to the second company.
This place is completely different from the seriousness of the first company. There are many soldiers holding mops, rags, and shovels in their hands, doing general cleaning, clearing weeds in remote corners of the company headquarters.
By the way, I also wiped the surrounding walls and glass.
The cultural wall is tidied up, slogans are repainted and so on.
Second Company Commander He Yingtao, the fat company commander, was a very lively person. He knew that a pilot project was about to be conducted, and even arranged for people to clean up his own hygiene first.
Chen Jun walked to the company gate. He looked up at the busy figures of the second company and couldn't help but laugh and curse.
This guy is really good at doing face-saving things. If you entrust the orientation work to this person, he will definitely be a master.
"Hello, battalion deputy!!"
"Hello, battalion deputy!!"
Seeing Chen Jun coming, the sentry at the second company gate quickly saluted and shouted loudly .
When Chen Jun saw this, he just raised his hand in return, then waved his hand and strode into the second company.
As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Although Chen Jun's previous position was also battalion deputy, he held the rank of captain, just like the rank of company commander.
There is definitely some quality, but definitely not high.
Now he carries two bars and one star on his shoulders, with the rank of major, which makes the camouflage uniform he usually wears a lot better.
No need to hold hands behind his back, Chen Jun just walked into the second company. Within two minutes, the plump figure of the second company commander ran over from a distance.
He took out the signature Tashan from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Chen Jun, holding it against the wind.
"Deputy Chen, do you have any other arrangements? I am leading people to clean up the company. It is not time to welcome new comrades, but I also want to improve the image of the company."
"Yes. "
Chen Jun nodded. He didn't do any ink. He took out a small book from his pocket and handed it to the second company commander.
"Old He, I have a task for you. I have recorded twenty-seven people in this book. Seven of them are from the tank battalion. We plan to have two tank companies, so these seven backbones will no matter what. Find a way to get it for me."
"When you get it, if you can lead one of the tank companies, it will be much easier for you with their help."
Chen Jun "very accidentally" revealed Lao He's future affiliation, which made He Yingtao look startled.
At the meeting just now, the eight companies under the pilot camp have been notified, even if it is just a framework now.
As one of the only company commanders in the current battalion, He Yingtao also wants to know what troops he will lead.
One of Chen Jun's deputy battalions came over to explain the matter to him in person, and Lao He immediately felt confident.
What is the most rare thing about a motorized infantry company commander?
What they used to train best was anti-aircraft machine guns and 82 mortars. They dreamed of getting some land warfare kings to open, so Chen Jun assigned him to a tank company.
Isn’t that just a lively little crucian carp that clicked in front of the hungry civet cat? It’s just right for the appetite?
Hearing that Chen Jun said that he might be asked to lead the tank company, Lao He immediately straightened his face, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Deputy Chen."
"These people run away No.”
“Even if the old man from the tank battalion is just a stick-up guy, I still want to get these seven people over.”
"Isn't seven too few?" He Yingtao scratched his head. He was still a little dissatisfied and said: "Our motorized infantry battalion does not have the backbone of tank professionals, not even those who can drive tanks."
"Yes." Don’t add a few more?”
“Don’t add too many.”
Chen Jun lowered his head and thought about it, and gave a very pertinent suggestion: “Just around twenty. , a tank company is divided into ten veterans, and each squad is divided into one. "
"At most half a month, ordinary driving skills and firing skills will be no problem."
"It's still a bit small, but it's not bad if we can get twenty."
He Yingtao muttered.
But Chen Jun was speechless after hearing these words.
Don’t look at the fact that the two of them are discussing it happily. When the time comes, it will be good to get ten of them if they really get down to it.
How many people are there in the tank battalion?
With that kind of technical backbone, if one of them is taken away at ordinary times, it would be more painful than chopping out flesh in the eyes of the battalion commander.
Twenty, Xiao Jianfeng, the commander of the tank battalion who sat in front of Chen Jun at the brigade headquarters meeting last time, could probably fight to the death with their battalion.
But Chen Jun has no time to think about these.
Talking these things to Lao He is just to give him something to eat when he invites people.
After all, the backbone brought over will be used by He Yingtao himself in the future, which saves worry and effort, how good it is.
As for whether He Yingtao will be assigned to the tank company in the end, Chen Jun has not yet thought clearly.
He just said it casually. Anyway, he said it might be possible. The purpose was to mobilize He Yingtao's enthusiasm.
The matter has been explained.
Chen Jun stopped lingering. He patted He Yingtao and gave him the small book recording the key points.
Turn around and leave.
As for whether the tank battalion will come over to replace people, the answer is definitely yes.
They have a lot of technical soldiers who need to stay in the team. If there are no places to stay in the team, the only way is to come over to the battalion and negotiate for a place.
As for the specific operation, it has nothing to do with Chen Jun.
He Yingtao can just play by himself.
Leave the second company.
Chen Jun wandered over to the vehicle and artillery field again, where the engineering team had already begun construction.
Similar to the expansion of the vehicle and artillery field, repainting the land and building dormitories next to the 1st Battalion barracks, this kind of project will only take more than a week at most for the people in the army to see the results.
Chen Jun doesn't plan to put a lot of effort into this aspect. Anyway, Liang Kexiang was involved in the whole process when measuring and drawing, so it was just right to leave it to him.
Take a walk around to see if there is anything you need to do.
Chen Jun returned to the battalion office again.
Next, he will focus on firepower organization and company organization.
If these things are not handed in, no matter how hard the pilot camp works, there will be no substantial progress.
Besides, the higher ups were waiting, so it would be best for him to delay.
In the early stages of the pilot, the tasks of the first battalion were not many.
Chen Jun is the busiest.
Various statistics of the three companies, those who were to be retired, those who were transferred to other jobs, and those who were staying in the team, were submitted to him one after another.
Chen Jun is responsible for the formation of personnel, the allocation of firepower tanks, and the allocation of deputy company-level cadres in the three companies.
Of course, this process should be discussed with Battalion Commander Zhao, and we should still meet and discuss from time to time. Time passed day by day, and it soon came to the beginning of August.
During this period of time, the First Battalion has not changed much, but there is a lot of movement in the outside world.
During the previous war preparations, Chen Jun won first-class merit. The matter of sending the merit was suppressed by the superiors, and he needed to prepare for the war with all his strength.
Now that war preparations are over, the work that has been accumulated in the early stage has begun to be carried out one after another.
The matter of Chen Jun’s first-class meritorious service naturally began to be implemented concretely at this time.
What a coincidence.
This first-class meritorious service coincides with the critical moment of conscription.
July 25, 2016, two days after Chen Jun attended the group army meeting.
The Military Ministry held a national video and telephone conference on recruitment work and began to fully mobilize and deploy the annual recruitment work.
The regulations are that the troop movement will start on August 1st and will be carried out on September 10th. The recruitment group will focus on people with academic qualifications in vocational high schools, technical secondary schools, technical schools, etc.
It may be that the military reform has been greatly expanded, pilot units have emerged, and the conference has made the recruitment policy requirements more stringent.
At this juncture, for the lower towns, towns and counties, as the requirements increase, the difficulty of work will naturally increase with the tide.
But these are nothing to Chen Jun's hometown, Rongan.
The red banner with first-class merit, the plaque with "First-Class Meritorious Officer" with large gilt characters on a red background, and the 100-meter-long merit convoy traveled throughout the county, including the townships and towns below.
The people from the Armed Forces were so happy that their mouths almost reached the back of their heads, and they picked up the drum hammers in their hands and beat them hard.
The jubilant atmosphere spread throughout the county.
Xiaozhou Village is also very lively. Chen Jun’s father, Chen Baishui, and mother, Li Xiuqin, are already familiar with this kind of scene.
Throughout the whole day, with the help of the villagers, we greeted the teams that came to deliver the merit.
It would be no exaggeration to say that the scene was filled with loud gongs and drums, firecrackers blasting, and the whole village was celebrating.
The Chen family gave birth to a great child, which has become something almost everyone in Xiaozhou Village talks about.
The only pity is.
Chen Jun was too busy with work and could not make it back from the army at the beginning of the pilot, so he called him at home when he was delivering the ceremony.
Listen to the buzz.
Of course, the first-class merit this time was a merit notice issued by the Joint Staff of the Kyoto Military Department. The Ryucheng Military Division, the city, and the county were all alarmed.
The first-class military merit is not the first in the city, but it is the first in the whole of Rong'an. Multiple departments jointly funded and sent a reward of 100,000 for this first-class military merit.
This can make the people in the village envious.
What they envy is not the specific amount of the reward, but that the reward belongs to the state.
That's different from what you earn.
Quantity does not matter, what matters is meaning.
In addition to giving away merit, there was another thing that was quietly going on during Chen Jun’s busy period.
That is when the initial meeting was held, the delegation composed of graduates from the National University of Defense Technology began to be recruited from the five theaters.
For the work of the pilot unit, even the superiors will not just arrange for some graduates to be transferred there.
Those who can join the delegation must have two brushes in their hands.
The real strength of the combined battalion is that the battalion-level unit has logistics and an independent combat system.
What is more powerful or outstanding from other conventional troops is their integrated offensive and defensive system and identification of friend or foe.
With these things, on the battlefield where information technology has not yet spread widely, it can almost be said to be a weapon that can kill gods when God blocks it, and kill Buddha when Buddha blocks it.
Chen Jun did not consider constructing these systems in the early stage, just waiting for these professionals to come and assist.
If we rely solely on one battalion and the 179th brigade to construct an integrated offensive and defensive combat system, it is as if we have not said this.
Basically impossible to achieve.
The motorcycle brigade does not have this kind of strength at all.
Until August 2nd.
Chen Jun finally sorted out the firepower and personnel establishment. There were eight main companies in one battalion, as well as the platoons and squads directly under the battalion.
The organization is equivalent to a battalion, with nine companies under its jurisdiction.
The total troop strength is 1,176. Combat tanks plus logistics vehicles, plus transportation and towing vehicles, the total reaches nearly 400 tanks.
In the first battalion conference room.
The battalion commander Zhao Ziheng looked at Chen Jun's detailed division of the organization, his eyes were as wide as a cow's egg.
He looked at Chen Jun with numb scalp, then swallowed his saliva, and said with some difficulty: "Old. Old Chen, there are more than 1,100 people in this pilot camp and 360 tanks. Many vehicles.”
"Can we clearly command such a large unit?"
"The infantry regiment only has more than 1,300 people, and our battalion has more than 1,100 people. Can the higher-ups agree with this?"
Others in the conference room also looked at each other.
In the past few days, they have all helped during the formation of combat companies and manpower.
But that was a series of discussions.
Most of the energy is focused on the allocation of key personnel, the transfer of deputy companies, and the transfer of platoon leaders.
After all, this is a pilot camp. If something good happens, you must come first. Battalion commander, instructor, and battalion deputy are too high-ranking.
The pilot unit is at the battalion level, so there is definitely no way to move it.
But this does not mean that other people’s positions cannot be adjusted by taking this opportunity.
For example, the former platoon leader of the first battalion took the opportunity to mention the deputy company.
Deputy company-level cadres are assigned to serve as company commanders in a new company, and their suitability is judged based on their own abilities.
In the past few days, the cadres in the camp have been discussing these issues.
Negotiable is negotiable, they never thought of it.
The final results combined turned the first battalion into a combat unit with more than a thousand people.
Of course I thought about it a few days ago. Chen Jun also mentioned it more than once. Even the construction of new dormitories in the camp these days is based on this standard.
But the key point is that before the result is finalized, no matter how much is proposed, it is still a matter of discussion, and there is no final decision, so naturally I don’t feel that much pressure.
Available now.
When Chen Junzhen put these detailed preparations in front of them, each of them still couldn't accept it.
In the army, it does not mean that having more soldiers is an advantage.
The key depends on whether you have the ability. If you ask a platoon leader to lead a regiment, do you think he can lead it?
Looking at the embarrassed expressions of everyone in the conference room.
Chen Jun smiled: "Don't worry, I will agree."
"You have to understand, what is a pilot? We are the first to come into contact with adaptation and the construction of new units. . ”
“If we don’t build a larger establishment and increase our combat effectiveness, how can other units imitate it?”
“We can’t have four or five hundred in one battalion. When the next unit follows suit, they will create a combat unit of eight or nine hundred people, right?”
"Then all the hard work we put in during the pilot period will be in vain."
"I understand the truth, that is." Zhao Ziheng was still hesitant.
After all, he was just the battalion commander of the motorized infantry battalion. At his peak, he only led 300 people and did not have any tanks.
Now it is necessary to send nearly four times more troops to him, and the number of tanks has increased tenfold. The commanders and fighters are not just playing tricks.
He was not afraid of a large establishment, but he was afraid that he would not be able to command such a large unit at all.
"It's okay, the running-in of the pilot unit is also done step by step."
"Since we are going to do it, we must do our best."
Chen Jun smiled and encouraged, and then compiled Collect all the good documents and prepare to go to the brigade headquarters later.
At the previous army meeting, the leader specifically asked him to make a summary once a week and hand over the firepower and personnel establishment as soon as possible.
The first week was basically expansion, there was nothing important, so Chen Jun took the time to report to the brigade headquarters without submitting any summary.
But now, all the work that needs to be done has been done, the dormitories have been built during this period, and the vehicle and artillery field has also been expanded.
After handing over the documents in hand, the rest is to welcome a large number of tanks and new companies of soldiers to settle in.
At that time, it’s time to get serious.
Zhao Ziheng was thinking of this just now, so he was particularly confused.
But seeing that Chen Jun had made up his mind, the instructor did not offer any advice, and the other company commanders were ready to face the challenge.
As the commander of a battalion, what else could he say?
