Chapter 336: Patrolling the camp at night, a sign of rectification
When Chen Jun came over to attend the review meeting.
At first, what Tao Brigade told me was to learn something useful for leading troops in war.
The core of the results meeting has been around the issues of mistakes made by each unit, and constant criticism.
The usually amiable division commander talks about the details of military training with a sword in his mouth, criticizing other units 360° without mercy.
Chen Jun and Zhao Ziheng were stunned and secretly smacking their lips.
What surprised Chen Jun even more was that he had always thought that many details or small problems that occurred on the training ground would not be paid attention to by the higher-ups.
But when I came to attend the meeting, I realized how naive my previous ideas were.
The staff department has special referees who divide the pictures taken by the battlefield pickets in the past few days into countless small squares and project them on the big screen.
Be good! !
Chen Jun raised his head and looked at the squares projected on the screen. He had one head and two heads.
Because one-tenth of these problematic pictures were taken when their first battalion was cleaning the battlefield after the victory of Attack 215.
After these pictures were projected, the two of them were immediately on pins and needles and felt uncomfortable.
There must be other units as well. For example, a certain armored battalion held a meeting to discuss how to fight, how to attack, and how to deploy firepower. But during the discussion, the meeting minutes were played on the projection screen in front of them, instead of the minutes of the meeting. Combat situation map.
This approach is as stupid as having a group of people running to the farthest place from the sand table to discuss combat arrangements without putting the sand table in front of them.
Including when attacking, the formation of the Red Army or Blue Army is chaotic when attacking the enemy, and when evacuating and hiding, logistics vehicles and combat vehicles are mixed together.
The main attack direction and center of gravity are not correct.
Even during the battle, some soldiers got lost while charging with the army and retreated too hastily. The soldiers of the Red Army followed the large forces of the Blue Army and retreated to the enemy's lair.
They were all put on the review conference.
Originally, Chen Jun thought that he had nothing to remember, so he could just listen with his ears raised and his head straight.
But after these problems are listed one by one, I have to remember them even if I don’t remember them.
After all, the longer the meeting lasts, the more problems will be exposed in the review.
If it can provide learning opportunities, it will naturally increase.
The entire review meeting lasted for about six hours.
To sum up, there are four steps.
The first step is for each unit to speak and review its own failures or shortcomings in this battle.
Then the director will make corrections or point out new problems.
Secondly, there were errors in the details of each unit in the broadcast just now. The commanders of the red and blue sides were aggressively confronting each other, or they were criticizing each other for being behind in the combat plan and having too many loopholes.
Or he was grinning and making a loud noise, saying that the other party did not make strategic adjustments according to the established battle plan.
Finally, the commander-in-chief Liu Jinwei came forward. That guy really deserves to be the commander-in-chief.
His mouth is like a machine gun, continuously pointing out dozens of problems when the Blue Army is fighting. The same is true for the Red Army. No one can escape if they are treated equally.
The commanders in the entire conference room bowed their heads and remained silent.
Later, Liu Jinwei used video playback, example evidence, data analysis, etc. to expose and correct the shortcomings of the commanders present, instruction by instruction, subject by subject, action by action, and equipment by piece.
In the final stage, there was really not a single word of praise, and all the commanders present were scolded until they were sweating on their foreheads and sitting upright.
Chen Jun also bared his teeth secretly, feeling that these brigade commanders and division commanders were actually treated similarly to battalion commanders and company commanders on certain occasions.
One thing is better than another, and when it comes to higher-level meetings, it is still inevitable to be scolded.
Chen Jun is a young official, but no one scolds him.
Tao Brigade took care of all the problems of the first battalion.
But this feeling of a light on my back is not pleasant at all.
Finally, the review meeting was announced to be over at around eleven o'clock in the evening.
Following Zhao Ziheng, the two came out of the General Staff Building, and Chen Jun let out a long breath.
Old Zhao was not much better. After listening to the conference for several hours, his ears were buzzing.
Other leaders who attended the meeting all left in small groups.
The two of them went directly to the parking lot. Lao Zhao took out a cigarette from his pocket, took one in his mouth, and threw another one to Chen Jun.
Zhao Ziheng took a puff of cigarette and slowly sprayed out two streams of fine mist from his nostrils. He looked up at the dark night sky, leaned against the car and said with a smile: "Old Chen, I originally thought that after the meeting, The commander-in-chief wants to talk to you.”
"It seems that the purpose of bringing us here this time is not to talk, but to show us the mistakes we made during this battle."
"Yes."
Seeing that the battalion commander is not in a hurry Let's go. Anyway, we have been sitting in the meeting for a long time. Chen Jun also leaned on the car and sighed: "It's time to focus on disciplinary issues in the follow-up camp."
"The leader didn't say anything this time, I guess. It’s because of the formation of the new camp. If such a problem occurs in the old unit, it may not be solved so easily.”
Listen to Chen Jun talking about the plans for the subsequent camp.
Zhao Ziheng nodded silently, quietly finished smoking the cigarette held between his fingers, and then flicked the cigarette butt away with his fingers.
Zhao Ziheng sighed: "As for the follow-up training in the camp, you make the decision."
"Tao Brigade said that he and Lao Lin may be treated in other aspects in the next few days. Arrangement."
"What do you mean?"
Chen Jun turned to look at the battalion commander. The two of them had not been together for a short time. They had never seen Zhao Ziheng before. I have never felt so lonely.
"It's nothing."
Zhao Ziheng slowly shook his head: "Didn't Tao Brigade chat with me for a while in the afternoon? They said that the follow-up military region would dispatch a group of cadres to go for further training."
"Lao Lin and I may be on the list."
Study further? ! !
This is a good thing.
Chen Jun was startled when he heard this. It was indeed a good thing for the military region to arrange further training. This was a place that no matter how many cadres struggled to win.
If you climb to the battalion level in the army, without extremely special circumstances, it is basically impossible to climb any higher.
After all, there are so many battalion commanders watching a brigade. There may be one or two who have the opportunity to be promoted, or it may be time for all of them to change jobs.
But it is different if you have the opportunity to further your studies. If you come back and you will be transferred directly without mentioning your position, you will be the one who will be given priority if there is a transfer in the future.
You can go to study at this time
Chen Jun always felt that it had something to do with his performance in this military training.
If this was really the case, he himself didn’t know how to speak for a while.
Seeing that Chen Jun didn't say anything, Lao Zhao thought he didn't react. He raised his hand and patted Chen Jun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Chen, let's not talk about this anymore."
"After the military training is over, there is still a lot of work to be arranged, so we will take advantage of these two days to hand over the work."
"I feel relieved to leave the first battalion to you, and the Tao Brigade also Having said that, the pilot camp has achieved results, and it is likely that the pilot camp will be carried out at the brigade level in the future.”
"You have to work harder. You will definitely be the main force in the brigade's pilots in the future."
Maybe.
The two briefly chatted for a few words and started to return to the camp.
In the car, Chen Jun secretly calculated the time. It is now October 2016, and the major reform of divisions and brigades will not be until next year, with the emergence of the Thirteen Group Armies.
The troops and brigade will be moved later.
But before that, there was more than one pilot for the synthesis brigade. In addition to the eastern theater, other theaters were also beginning to appear one after another. The real problem of difficulty in synthesis was about to break out.
There is no way to avoid this.
Think about a battalion, which is just a battalion-level unit. When there is a shortage of backbones, we have to recruit strong men from different units.
The 179th Brigade is almost wiped out.
When a large number of brigade-level synthetic units appear, their size can wipe out the entire army.
But these are questions that should be considered later.
If Lao Zhao really wants to be transferred now, Chen Jun is not stupid, he is the commander of that battalion.
He must be in charge.
This news came too suddenly.
Because Lvli didn’t reveal any news before the National Day.
On the way back.
Zhao Ziheng spared no effort and told Chen Jun a lot of things to note when serving as a battalion commander. He should have expected that the arrangements for further training would be arranged relatively quickly. After all, the current combat effectiveness of the first battalion has been formed. If there are no unexpected incidents in the army in the second half of the year.
It won’t be a big deal.
As for Chen Jun, he has been listening silently.
The names of the main camp and the deputy camp are just one word different, which seems to be nothing.
But when I actually took over the job, I knew that the pressure was completely different.
Although Chen Jun served as the deputy battalion before, he seems to be very relaxed. He only needs to pay attention to the training situation.
When everything is fine, you can sit in the office and consider the follow-up training.
Chen Jun doesn't have to worry about other things.
That's because Old Zhao has been on top of many things. Let's not talk about the distance. Let's just talk about the number of times Zhao Ziheng blocked a gun due to things in the camp in the past few months.
Then just count it on your fingers, it’s a lot of times, right?
Go to other camps to recruit key people, and other battalion commanders come to settle accounts, and it is Lao Zhao who mediates in the middle.
Whenever something happens in the camp, Zhao Ziheng is the first to be at the forefront.
Chen Jun only needs to consider training every day.
But Zhao Ziheng must ensure that in addition to training, other preparations are also included.
For example, communicate closely with subordinate officers and soldiers at any time, and find ways to improve the soldiers' combat effectiveness and tactical skills.
Pay attention to the welfare of the camp, morale and team spirit. The battalion commander should also communicate with the instructors regularly.
In short, everything is done from an all-round perspective, considering multiple aspects, and balancing all the work in a camp.
If Lao Zhao leaves, it is no exaggeration to say that the heavy responsibility of a battalion of jacks will have to be shouldered by Chen Jun.
In the future, I will face other battalion commanders and go to the brigade to benefit my unit.
Chen Jun has to step forward.
It is a consensus that it is not easy to be a military chief.
The two chatted a lot along the way.
But when we returned to the camp, it was already midnight.
He didn't continue the topic just now.
After the camp was separated, Lao Zhao hurriedly returned to the dormitory. It was not clear what he was doing there, but he might have gone to talk to the instructor.
Chen Jun took a shower, changed into a clean military uniform, took the flashlight from the dormitory, and ran to the camp's vehicle and artillery field to inspect.
No way, who made us born to work hard.
I had to attend the review meeting in the afternoon. I was too anxious to inform them. Chen Jun didn't have time to give too many instructions, so he could only ask the company commanders to lead the teams back.
He might be uneasy because each company commander arranged these matters individually, or it might be that what the battalion commander said tonight was too impactful for Chen Jun personally.
I had something on my mind, so I simply couldn’t sleep, thinking about taking a look around.
Chen Jun himself didn’t expect that he came to patrol because he had nothing to do.
But this tour really did something for him.
At first, Chen Jun just walked around the vehicle and artillery field, shining a flashlight on the tanks to check each one to make sure there were no problems.
He casually checked the patrol record of the gun range and found that after the first patrol registered at eight o'clock, the second patrol had already arrived at the registration point.
The registration form is blank.
Chen Jun raised his hand and pointed the flashlight at the registration book, his brows furrowed tightly.
In the army, duty registration is almost the same as working outside. It ranges from company inspections and outpost registration every day to camp tank maintenance and maintenance registration.
There is a set of strict rules. system.
The patrol registration was not written down. Although this matter is not very serious, it depends on how to deal with it.
After all, this is an army, or a front-line combat unit.
If we really want to get to the bottom of it, it would be much more serious. If the boss from above comes to find out in the middle of the night.
It is no more serious than a sentry sleeping on duty. When he wakes up, he finds that he has a 24 cent coat draped over his shoulders.
If Tao Brigade comes down to inspect and discover this situation.
It was estimated that the entire battalion would be mobilized in an emergency assembly on the spot. None of the battalion commander, deputy battalion commander, and instructors could escape, so they all lay aside to write inspections.
The company commander, instructor, and platoon leader practice handstands together, and the squad leader involved can just write a letter of retirement.
This is really no exaggeration.
You know, this is just the end of today's military training.
How dare you be so lax.
If Tao Brigade really finds out, who can be the leader of the Welcome Brigade? Who has a good temper?
Normally it might not be this serious, but today absolutely no one can escape.
Finish checking the patrol sign-in form.
Chen Jun turned off the flashlight and walked towards the nearest tank company with a gloomy face. The sentry on duty at the gate suddenly saw the deputy battalion commander coming in the middle of the night.
The two looked at each other. , hurriedly stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, deputy battalion commander!!"
"Yes."
Chen Jun returned the greeting and looked at the two men: "Which company is responsible for patrolling the vehicle and artillery field tonight?"
"Report to the deputy battalion commander, it is the anti-aircraft machine gun company."
“Okay, I understand.”
Chen Jun nodded and strode away.
When the camp was expanded and new companies were allocated, company headquarters were allocated based on the time of formation.
The anti-aircraft machine gun company was established the latest, so the camp was naturally the farthest away, nearly two kilometers away from the camp headquarters.
Seeing the deputy battalion commander walking toward the anti-aircraft machine gun company with an unkind look on his face, the two soldiers on duty in the tank company looked at each other and swallowed at the same time.
Some don’t know what to do.
Because something happened with the high-altitude shooting company during roll call tonight, and I'm afraid it hasn't been resolved yet.
It was just a little bit of a fight.
I didn’t even plan to expose him to the camp, but now that the deputy battalion commander has come over, I’m afraid he can’t hide it anymore.
Originally, due to troop training, the company commander said that the camp needed to be reorganized, but now the reorganization is probably going to be brought forward.
One of the sentries stretched his head to watch Chen Jun walk away. He shook his head silently and motioned to his companions to continue standing guard.
Don't worry about so many things.
The other sentry sighed, stood still holding his gun, and said nothing.
As the deputy battalion commander, Chen Jun has high prestige in the battalion, and the soldiers tend to listen to him.
The reason is not entirely because he showed great military skills when he first came to the First Battalion.
Moreover, because of what he did, the other soldiers really couldn’t fault him at all, let’s take the return gift as an example.
When I met the company commander on the road to the camp, I saluted him while marching, but few of them returned the salute in a serious manner.
But the deputy battalion commander is different.
The gesture of returning a salute while walking is also very standard. When the left foot is raised, the arm is raised to return the salute. When the salute is completed, the arm falls down and falls in front of the chest.
There are many similar details.
What soldier wouldn’t like such a capable and kind cadre?
It is because they like him that they know the deputy battalion’s temper best.
Normally anything is fine, but you can't make mistakes in terms of principles.
Just now the deputy battalion specifically asked about the status of patrol duties, plus what happened at roll call tonight.
They knew that the high-altitude shooting team was probably going to have a hard time.
