Chapter 313: War begins, the charm of news network
Transfer command power to the general staff? ! !
After the meeting announcement, the battalion commander and instructors all looked okay. They must have received the news in advance, and they sat there very calmly.
But all the cadres of the company branch were a little confused. Before the meeting, they were only notified of the joint training exercise, and regarded the tank battalion and artillery battalion under the 179th Brigade as the opponents of the exercise.
But I didn’t say that they are not allowed to command.
Nuo Da's synthetic battalion is usually a bit difficult to handle with dozens of people commanding it.
Now that one person is in charge, how can this be done successfully?
It’s not that everyone has no confidence in Chen Jun, the main reason is that this confidence should not be placed here.
The cadres present at the meeting have more or less commanded operations or training, and they know very well that things on the battlefield can change rapidly.
The other two battalions participating in the exercise are not idiots.
Can you still stay in place and use it as a target, allowing your side to attack at will?
A group of company commanders looked around with confused expressions. Their biggest problem at the moment was that they didn't know how to command.
During usual training, the armored company always wants to run to the front, the tank company also wants to rush forward, and even the engineer company has enough reasons to run to the front.
The collaborative training was first proposed by the battalion deputy. They thought that through this exercise, they would be able to figure out who was at the front.
How can you imagine that even the right to command has been taken away?
Chen Jun noticed everyone's hesitation, but he didn't care so much. Even if the military order was issued, even if he didn't understand it, he only needed to carry it out. If the discussion was useful, what should the higher command do?
Chen Jun just told the staff department to convey the news of the drill to the brigade headquarters as soon as possible, and arranged for staff personnel to assist logistics in calculating and distributing the ammunition required for the drill as soon as possible.
Some people in the camp are still hesitant, worried that one person cannot command a combined battalion of thousands of people.
The news of the joint training exercise spread throughout the entire army in less than ten minutes, as if it had wings.
After all, it is the first military reform camp.
During this period of time, the army was in the limelight. People were transferred from various brigades, and only good soldiers were transferred regardless of arms type. New tanks were transferred directly from the equipment department.
No unit has ever made such a big move before. Other units have to fight for days if they want to recruit a good soldier, but they may not succeed.
The military reform pilot camp is so awesome. If people want it, you have to give it.
If you don’t give it, a transfer order will be photographed on your desk soon. This is considered low-key.
The quotas and financial expenditures of many units in the entire group army have been repeatedly reduced, just to fully support the military reform pilot camp.
Now there is finally some movement in this new camp. If we are about to start drills, can the movement be less?
Chen Jun reported the news of the drill to the brigade headquarters in advance. After the brigade headquarters conveyed it to the group army, it didn't take long for the officers of each unit to start to move towards the first battalion station.
This matter itself cannot be concealed. Three battalions participated in the drill, with a total number of nearly 2,000 people. Once a fight started, artillery shells would fly everywhere.
That guy, if you dare not report in advance, I'm afraid the call for accountability will be in place as soon as the artillery is loaded at the beginning of the drill.
But the outside world has nothing to do with Chen Jun.
He went to the brigade headquarters a week in advance to find important personnel from Tao Brigade, and he did not just watch the artillery battalion and tank battalion transferred.
The purpose is to find and solve problems after the joint training, so that the new battalion can have a certain combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
All command authority has been placed in the staff department.
The commanders of each company had nothing to do, so they naturally went to the staff headquarters to stand. This is the general command room for the entire battalion during training.
If the troops go out to fight, the general command room will be transferred to the battalion command vehicle.
After Chen Jun left the conference room and walked into the command room, he first glanced at the cadres standing around.
Noting that everyone was here, he didn't say anything. He just watched silently on the big screen. Staff members were dropping drones into the training ground one by one.
The drones currently available to the whole battalion are not enough to equip the reconnaissance company. They are not enough anyway, so we might as well use some more for projection.
Through the footage transmitted back by the drone, everyone could clearly see that tanks from each company of the first battalion had entered the training ground.
Maybe it was because there were no cadres present. Many soldiers got off the chariot and were looking around for someone.
Veterans from the maintenance class of the logistics support company are also inspecting infantry fighting vehicles and tanks in preparation for the next drill.
As for the tank battalion, battalion commander Xiao Jianfeng, the battalion commander who often ignored Chen Junyan, was holding a mobilization meeting for all the soldiers in the battalion with his left hand on his hips and his right hand raised high.
Without leaving home, you can clearly observe the scene on the training ground two kilometers away by just standing at the battalion headquarters.
This was quite novel to many cadres at the scene.
Chen Jun looked at the scene of the tank battalion meeting on the screen. He grinned and turned to look at the technical reconnaissance personnel sitting at the staff office: "Reduce the height of the drone."
"Listen to what Battalion Commander Xiao and the others are saying."
"Yes."
The technical reconnaissance personnel were ordered to immediately contact the staff working at the scene and enter the drone number , lower the flight altitude.
The picture projected on the big screen slowly zoomed in.
Xiao Jianfeng's original scene of only movement and no sound began to change.
"So, we can't lose this time no matter what."
"A new battalion is fighting against our two old battalions. If we lose in today's drill, will you be willing to do so?"
"Not willing! !”
The soldiers of the tank battalion roared collectively, which was clearly transmitted to the command room.
Maybe the drone was flying too low.
When Lao Xiao heard the noise, he raised his head and glanced provocatively, then turned his head and let out an angry "poof".
Chen Jun saw this scene with a smile on his face. He knew that Lao Xiao had guessed that he was peeping here, so he specially showed it to him.
But bah can’t be in vain, right?
Chen Jun turned to look at the technical reconnaissance personnel at work and said: "When the drill starts, cut off all communication signals of the tank battalion as soon as possible."
"Today the tank battalion If the communication can be issued to one, then you will go to the training ground and run one lap. If the communication can be issued with two, you will run two laps.”
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, deputy battalion commander!!"
The technical investigators who were working felt their scalps numb after receiving the order, and they were secretly cursing in their hearts.
This battalion deputy is really evil.
People just sighed and cut off other people's communication signals at every turn.
If you say this, you probably won't have to focus on attacking directly after practice starts, right?
However, there is not much pressure on the soldiers in charge of technical reconnaissance. They are originally transferred professionals. In 2016, when information digitization is not so common, whichever electronic warfare unit has this technology will be the one. The master of communications on the battlefield.
If you are asked to speak, you can speak. If you are not allowed to speak, just listen to the Xinwen Network.
Anti-interference, anti-interference tracking, many units do not yet have this capability.
The technical reconnaissance personnel of the first battalion are already professional. In addition, they have been following the National Defense University delegation to build command terminals. The combat effectiveness of this group of people can play an important role in the dark.
Under certain conditions, it can be as powerful as an artillery battalion.
It's not that the tank battalion doesn't have technical reconnaissance, it's mainly that their technical reconnaissance technology doesn't have the ability to compete.
In fact, until later generations, in addition to synthetic units having certain anti-electronic warfare capabilities, on large battlefields, these tasks were performed by professional electronic warfare brigades.
Chen Jun just heard the tank battalion's slogans of unwillingness to lose, and he came up with this on a whim.
Seeing that everyone on our side has begun loading ammunition, refueling, and maintenance and pre-war maintenance on the tanks.
Moreover, more and more military vehicles are gathering outside the training ground, and the personnel from various units who came to watch have already arrived.
The main combatants are in place, the challengers are almost ready, and even the audience is here.
Chen Jun also gave up the idea of continuing to observe.
At the same time, he arranged technical reconnaissance personnel to connect the communications between the headquarters and the tanks of each company as soon as possible, and adjust the frequency hopping frequency band.
While looking at the cadres from the staff department who were planning to watch, he said in a deep voice: "Before the drill begins, you guys should pay attention to a few points."
Hearing the deputy battalion's tone, several company commanders on the scene immediately looked away from the big screen and stood up straight.
"Combined warfare focuses on synthesis. Put aside your previous self-centered command concept and understand this synthesis as cooperation."
"Our combined warfare is fighting with large corps in the past. The most obvious difference is that we have fast maneuverability and fast fire support. Any soldier has the power to mobilize the firepower of the entire battalion."
"If all combat companies are self-centered, they will feel that everyone else is. Assist you, then tell me how to fight this battle? "
"How can a single company defeat a tank battalion and an artillery battalion? "
"Combined warfare does not mean that you armored vehicles rush forward at once, nor does it mean that no one accepts the other's tank at the front. Both of you are wearing hard shells and can run faster than anyone else. Behind you are artillery vehicles, command vehicles, and logistics units. , Don’t want them all?”
“Pack it up and give it to the enemy for free?”
“The enemy can’t be empty-handed every time, and they can’t have a head-on conflict with us every time. Which commander is stupid enough to hold hundreds of men and compete head-on with a combined battalion in terms of firepower? "
"Tactics are diversified, depending on the battle situation. You must learn to make adjustments quickly and not stick to the same rules. "Coordination."
"Also, I mentioned in the first section of the synthesis lecture that one of the greatest advantages of the synthesis battalion is that the command goes directly to the end. The orders from the battalion headquarters do not need to be conveyed through your company commander, but can be conveyed through the radio. Convey final instructions to the warriors.”
"Being a microphone, besides wasting time, can you have any other effect?"
"The commander does not have the right to intercept the information and then let you deliver it. Your eyes must be on the overall situation. , listen to the intelligence that is constantly coming, and accurately judge the next battlefield situation. "Make timely adjustments, this is what you should do."
"Just like just now." When I asked you what problems you encountered during the training, you would only blame them for not reporting the road conditions in time when the tanks were advancing. "
"Then what I want to know is, did you ask if they didn't report it? "< br>
Chen Jun looked at the cadres at the rear with a gloomy look. Since he planned to command the entire battalion by himself, there were certain things he had to say clearly in advance.
It saves these guys from standing back and just watching the fun, not knowing how to command compared to usual.
“I don’t understand why you want the soldiers to report to the company headquarters first, and then the company commander will convey the news to other commanders, and then the headquarters will issue corresponding instructions.”
"It sounds difficult for me to speak, but you actually enjoy it."
"These few extra procedures and the time lost are enough to determine the outcome of a war. The command goes straight to the end. Is it difficult to understand? ”
"You still think that the thinking and judgment ability of ordinary soldiers is not as good as yours. If anyone has such an idea, let me know as soon as possible. Commanders and combatants are not just for you to learn to lead troops in war and to control command. At least that is not the case in the combined camp."< br>
"Here here, what the commander has to do is to grasp the general direction, learn how to analyze the enemy's intentions, and have the ability to adapt to changes, instead of having to do every little thing personally."
"There are hundreds of positions in the whole battalion. , dozens of arms, who has Ability to do things yourself? Even if you have this ability, there are dozens of company branch members in the eight companies. Who do you listen to when commanding? "
" Give command to a soldier, and he may give it during the investigation. When giving instructions, far better than you Be more cautious in your imagination.”
“No one can analyze the situation more quickly than the soldier who discovered the enemy’s situation. When he gives the order, what you have to do is to arrange the following series of emergencies as soon as possible. situation.”
"Instead of intercepting this information, you have to repeat it to the corresponding company, turn around and tell others the same thing."
"It is your way of speaking that is more beautiful than the soldiers, or yours The way of expression is more attractive? Do you have to do this more? "
"Military reform, synthesis, and coordination must first change your thinking. Now it is not just a commander waving his hand, but hundreds of them. It’s an era of thousands of men charging.”
“If you can’t change your mind, let alone the training problems, the biggest problem lies with you commanders.”
< br>“Do you understand?”
"Understood!!!"
In the command room, all the cadres responded in unison.
Chen Jun had predicted before that the role of the company commander of the synthetic battalion would gradually shrink in the middle and later stages, and the real overall planning would begin to be placed in the battalion.
After all, there is a staff to assist.
With the battalion as a whole and the company-level unit becoming a unit in combat, its role will inevitably be diluted.
But this is only at the command level, and the role of company commanders in other places cannot be ignored.
Before Chen Jun commanded the drill, he wanted to make these cadres understand that coordinated operations had almost ended the era of leading separate attacks.
If we are all self-centered, then this battle cannot be fought at all.
. . . . . .
During the preparations for the meeting, the situation on the training ground also changed.
The tank battalion and artillery battalion that had originally gathered for the meeting had disappeared. They each concentrated their firepower and personnel and began to build defenses nearby.
The first battalion seemed to be affected by the atmosphere. The soldiers did not hang out outside, but all returned to their tanks to stand by.
This time.
The atmosphere in the command room was no less relaxed than on the training ground. The cadres who had just been scolded by Chen Jun were standing together in a group.
The network engineers from the National University of Defense Technology also took their respective positions, and six or seven staff officers also sat in front of the computer to prepare.
Battle with other units for the first time.
It was hard to tell whether Chen Jun was nervous or not. He just stood in front of the screen with a calm expression, waiting for all parties to make preparations.
But other cadres were obviously disturbed by the atmosphere before the war. Chief Staff Officer Liang swallowed from time to time and felt a little restless.
The battalion commander Zhao Ziheng was standing next to Chen Jun, his brows were furrowed and his face was serious.
The face of instructor Lin Jinhua no longer had the friendly smile of the past, and he opened and clenched his palms.
It indicates that his heart is extremely unstable.
Li Haiyao was still holding the blue folder in his hand and stood quietly in a slightly remote position of the staff headquarters. His bright eyes looked at the big screen for a while, and then looked at the calm and composed Chen. Jun.
I don’t know what I am thinking about.
Ma Hongjie, He Yingtao, and Qi Shaoxiang, the three oldest company commanders of the First Battalion, were so nervous that their hearts almost jumped into their throats.
It’s not that these three brothers are timid and can’t handle the situation, but the significance of this exercise is extraordinary.
For the first training exercise of the 1st Battalion, the opponent was the tank battalion and artillery battalion under the 179th Brigade. It didn't matter if they were other units. It didn't matter whether they won or lost. The purpose was to train troops.
But this is the first time the army has been reorganized into a battle. How can it be lost?
Yes, several company commanders looked at each other, and no one knew how to describe it. At least even if they lost, they couldn't lose too ugly.
"Report, the comprehensive guidance of the command platform has been tested, and combat instructions can be issued in real time."
"Report, the combat attack and defense system has been tested."
"Report, the frequency hopping signal has been set up."
"Report."
In the command room, there were sounds of "complete", indicating that they were ready.
Reports came clearly to Chen Jun's ears one after another. His brain was also spinning rapidly, and he turned to look at the members of the staff.
"Send the order and tell the artillery battalion and tank battalion that our attack will start in five minutes."
"Ask them to be ready for battle."
After Chen Jun finished his explanation, he quickly walked to the command podium and sat down, putting on a radio headset.
This action of his is quite brave.
Seeing the several company commanders present, their teeth almost reached the back of their heads.
Because there is no company commander and no other headquarters, the current battalion-level command authority has been delegated to each tank.
In other words, all the radios driving the tanks can hear the deputy battalion's orders. Similarly, the replies are also confusing.
For ordinary people, let alone analysis, dozens of reports are pouring in, and it is not easy to hear clearly what is being said.
If you are not confused, you are different from ordinary people.
Chen Jun glanced at the cadres in the distance, ignored them, and turned on the radio directly.
In an instant, bursts of "sizzling" sounds of electricity came from all the tanks on the training ground.
What followed was Chen Jun's voice.
“Comrades, I am Chen Jun. Today’s drill will be directed by me. All companies in the battalion are ready for battle.”
“The engineering company’s obstacle-breaking vehicles are at the forefront. To clear the way, the tank company pulled out a protective formation from both wings, protecting both wings 200 meters vertically."
"The armored company's tanks lined up behind the wrecker to open the way. , launch the handheld drones in your hands."
"."
Chen Jun kept opening his mouth to adjust the formation, and the chariots originally lying on the ground were also moving slowly, staggered and parked according to the instructions.
Originally, each company formed its own formation, but soon formed a battle formation consisting of two wings and a front row focused on protection.
The battle formation is assembled, and the five minutes of preparation time are up.
“Let’s go!!!”
Chen Jun roared.
With a rumble, the ground on the training ground shook in an instant, and hundreds of tanks started to move.
Since it is a cooperative exercise, the scope of activities must not be limited to the hundreds of thousands square meters of training ground.
Swish, swish.
A dozen pitiful drones passed over the front row of tanks and began to spread around, trying to find the enemy's position.
At the same time, the investigation company's Warrior reconnaissance vehicle also began to dispatch.
There is such a big movement here at the training ground.
As an opponent's tank battalion, how could it not be known?
The battalion commander Xiao Jianfeng grinned, and he was about to grab the radio to give instructions.
When delaying the movement of a battalion and creating an opportunity for the artillery battalion to attack.
But he turned on the radio and was dumbfounded.
Just listen to a familiar and standard broadcast tone coming from the radio communicator.
