Chapter 402: The first battalion comes to an end, and the reorganization storm rises
After temporarily suppressing the news that the entire battalion will be disbanded.
Chen Jun gave up his position and handed over the next meeting to the instructor to preside over.
He partners with Fatty He, and they are both martial and literary.
I just said what needed to be said, what needed to be said was explained, and even the emotions that needed to be upset were overturned.
As for the sincere and thoughtful words of reassurance later on, arrange heart-to-heart talk tasks for the instructor.
Chen Jun is not good at that stuff.
I feel depressed.
He simply pulled away his stool, stood up and strode out of the command room.
Come outside.
Looking up at the gloomy sky above, the cold wind blew past my face, making my face hurt.
There was suddenly no battle left to fight, and Chen Jun felt that he was completely unmotivated.
Previously, the director's department notified the truce of eight hours, but now that it has been delayed for so long, the time is almost up.
"It should be about to start again, right?"
Chen Jun was silent for a long time, and he muttered in a low voice.
Then he turned around and looked at the blue army in the distance. They were all busy setting up tents and building a new camp.
There are busy figures everywhere.
The same is true for the First Battalion. After the ceremony of conferring military honors is over, the next step is to consider the issue of garrisoning the camp.
Too many people have been eliminated here.
Before the director left just now, some people from the director's department were left to maintain order and take care of the eliminated personnel.
If you are eliminated on the exercise battlefield, you won't get any good treatment.
Everyone has to be supervised during the whole process, and they have to get up on time and take roll call on time, and they have to report when they go to the toilet.
The level of freedom is far less than staying in the camp.
However, as 1221 is an experimental area, the first battalion will also be disbanded, and the 124th Division is not an eastern unit.
The directing department didn’t put much effort into management.
Chen Jun left Li Peifang on his side to be responsible for supervision.
This guy is also a lazy guy. While setting up the tent in the camp, everyone disappeared and no one was seen for a long time.
In the past few days of exercises, the camp has been busy and busy, jumping up and down. Suddenly it became quiet and there was nothing to do. Even the battalion had to be disbanded.
Chen Jun felt empty in his heart.
But there is nothing we can do.
As he said at the meeting just now, military reform is inevitable and no one can stop it.
The Huairou policy has been used above. The 179th brigade was designated as a pilot brigade, and the formation of the second battalion was to be started.
But the problem is that it cannot be established.
There were too many twists and turns. If we proceed step by step, it will take at least half a year to bring out the new recruits from the second battalion.
At this time, the day lilies are extremely cold.
It doesn't matter if you cut the mess with a quick knife, at least you won't give anyone any face, and you will be tough to the end.
Chen Jun was thinking in his mind, and he immediately found a place to take shelter from the wind, and stood there looking at the busy figures of a battalion of soldiers, in a daze.
In fact, the disbandment of the first battalion has more advantages than disadvantages no matter from which aspect.
Officers who understand synthesis and have experienced synthesis training are all circulated in the 179th Brigade. How much room for promotion do they have?
Only by placing people in the entire army group, or even spreading them to the entire war zone.
That's the best choice.
In this case, all the cadres in the battalion will have the opportunity to be promoted, and the non-commissioned officers will also have the opportunity to stay in the team or even be promoted.
In a few years, Chen Jun feels that his connections can be extended to various troops and units.
After all, as the commander of the first combined battalion, he brought out all the company-level cadres in the battalion, and they will be assigned to other units in the future, even if there is no superior-subordinate relationship.
After all, we stayed together and shared the joys and sorrows for more than half a year.
When we meet again in the future, who can not give some face to the old battalion commander?
"Just think of it as finding a good way out for our comrades."
Chen Jun smiled narcissistically, and immediately put his hands behind his back, feeling much relieved.
Boom, boom, boom
He had just comforted himself when the eight-hour truce period stipulated by the director was over.
More than ten kilometers away from where they were stationed, the sound of artillery fire instantly filled the sky.
The whistling cold wind seemed to be mixed with a faint smell of gunpowder smoke.
"What's going on?"
"Why is there a fight nearby?"
Fatty He was taking a political class in the command room. When he heard the commotion, he brought People rushed out in a hurry and looked into the distance.
Maybe it's a stress reaction.
When the soldiers in the company camp who were setting up tents heard the sound of cannons, they began to tighten their grip on their steel guns and look nervously into the distance.
Chen Jun looked at the direction of the fierce battle and frowned.
When we came from the director's office, he was in the lead car and led the team. This time there was no camouflage cloth blocking the windows.
He could clearly see the stations he passed by on the way.
If the guess is correct, the units involved in the fierce battle should be the Red Army armored division sent to support the joint regiment in area 1221, which was targeted by the Blue Army.
Chen Jun was puzzled before.
He arranged the battalion for the armored division one night in advance and contacted him to request for reinforcements.
But as a result, the opponent's firepower was not in place for a long time.
This battle.
Whenever an armored division's firepower resists the frontal firepower, a battalion provides firepower support from the flanks.
The 124th Division of the Blue Army, let alone an amphibious armored infantry regiment, can suppress all their firepower in one place.
It is not certain who will lose or win.
The enemy did not come, so the battle losses of the first battalion continued to rise.
Also later.
Only then did Chen Jun figure out that it was not that the armored division did not come, but that area 1221 was divided into an experimental area.
All red and blue support firepower has been withheld.
Now it depends.
It was the armored division that came to support, and the troops who were halfway there were noticed by the commander of the blue army just now.
The war has just begun.
The Blue Army just wanted to devour part of the main force of the Red Army's armored division.
“This appetite is big enough.”
Chen Jun sighed with emotion.
Although it is just a joint regiment, part of the firepower of the armored division, its combined combat power can definitely match half of the division.
Dare to start the war so hastily, it is obvious that the Blue Army has been preparing for a long time.
There is no war to fight on my side.
Chen Jun simply took the cadres in the camp and listened to the sound of artillery fire in the distance. He took out the topographic map and spent the whole day wondering where the battle would take place.
Guess who can beat whom.
Time passes like this day by day.
The beginning of the war.
The 1st Synthetic Battalion, which was so popular on the battlefield, never appeared on the battlefield again.
Soon, half a month passed.
During this period, the blue army of medical service began to really exert its efforts. The red army had heavy supply stores and transportation lines were cut off and destroyed one after another.
The defense line retreated again and again.
At first, the place where the first battalion was stationed was still the territory of the Red Army, but as time went by, it became the rear area of the Blue Army.
Every day we can see Blue Army transport vehicles passing by the camp one after another.
That guy made the soldiers in the camp hungry.
Screaming to rob the Blue Army.
However, I can only talk about it.
Even if the battle losses of the first battalion did not exceed 70%, they did not meet the prescribed criteria for elimination.
But the remaining firepower of the entire battalion was basically not enough to support a large-scale battle.
What's more, he was banned from participating in the war by the director.
How about robbing a hammer?
When the battle situation ended like this, Chen Jun knew that the Red Army had lost this exercise.
And you will lose miserably.
With tens of thousands of troops, it only took half a month, and the main force was almost exhausted.
It can be seen how intense the battle was and how fierce the Blues' attack was.
Almost every day, thousands of people are eliminated in the war.
Listening to the sound of artillery fire getting farther and farther away, almost pushing the war into the heart of the Red Army.
He Yingtao, Ma Hongjie and others stood beside Chen Jun, looking into the distance.
These guys, recently.
I had nothing to do after eating all day, no training or exercise, and I gained weight in just ten days.
"Batalion Commander, it seems that the Red Army is going to lose."
As Ma Hongjie said, a trance flashed across his expression. If the Red Army loses, it means the exercise is over.
The end of the exercise also means that the disbandment of the first battalion must be officially put on the table.
In the past few days, the soldiers in the camp all knew that they were going to be disbanded, but because of Chen Jun and the others, they were prepared in advance.
The political cadres’ talks were relatively timely, and the superiors also gave them sufficient time to prepare.
Although the comrades in the camp were not in high spirits, at least there was no big trouble.
We are disbanding, there is nothing to say.
Rights should be taken from the people and used for the people.
Anyway, when the first battalion was formed, they were veterans drawn from various units.
Now, it is just giving people back again.
"It is normal for the Red Army to lose."
When Chen Jun heard Lao Ma's assertion, he stared into the distance, then nodded slightly and said: "This time the military reform will start from the east. , and the Eastern Region was completely reorganized from the First Army. "
"In this annual military exercise, the Red Army is basically from the First Army. If they don't lose, what reason will the superiors use to attack them? "
"It just so happens that we are taking advantage of the failure of this annual military exercise to conduct a large-scale reorganization. Years and years ago, some will be transferred to other jobs, some will be retired, and some will be laid off."
"Okay."
Chen After Jun finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at a battalion of soldiers in the distance.
He added: "If you continue to notify us, let each company commander be prepared in the next few days. Other units will come over at any time to select people." "If the ideological work is done in advance, even if our first battalion is to be disbanded, then It is also the first combined battalion in the army.”
"Everyone, please stand up for me."
"When the time comes, no one will embarrass me by crying and peeing. No matter which unit I go to in the future, I will make them stand up when I mention that we are forming a battalion." Thumbs up."
"It's not that you are so fragile that you can't bear it, you know?"
"Yes, battalion commander!" >Everyone responded in unison.
Chen Jun's guess was correct. This exercise did not matter how loud the thunder was in the early stages or how loud the code names were shouted.
The final result was just as expected.
All members of the Red Army were destroyed.
The armored divisions, mechanized infantry divisions, mechanized infantry brigades, and other motorized infantry brigades were all beaten to the point where they were almost unable to fight back.
The front line collapsed all the way, and the main force was exhausted.
That afternoon, the public channel of the Director's Department informed that the exercise was over and the Blue Army had won.
Tao Junming, the commander of the 179th Brigade, and Xu Wensheng, the political commissar, hurried to the station where the first battalion was located.
Chen Jun himself did not expect that the first person they would welcome here would not be the leaders who wanted to carve up a battalion, but his own brigade commander.
“Hello, brigade commander!!”
“Hello, political commissar!!”
Chen Jun raised his hand in salute and looked at the two chiefs who came in a hurry with an unexpected expression.
Xu Wensheng did not hold a Red Army position during this exercise, but stayed on duty in the brigade.
After more than half a month, I saw Chen Jun again.
Commissar Xu walked forward with a smile. He looked at Chen Jun carefully.
Then he reached out and patted his shoulder, and said with a hearty smile: "Deputy Chief of Staff Chen, haha!!"
"In the brigade, I heard the news about you struggling here. If you fight well, you and your father-in-law will never know each other this time."
"Don't worry, Comrade Li Haiyao. "Bian, I have arranged for comrades from the Political Department to communicate this matter with her tactfully."
“She also knows that the military reform above is going to establish an experimental area, and she understands this matter very well. There will be no problem.”
“Thank you, political commissar!!”
Chen Jun learned that Xu Wensheng had spoken to him and responded gratefully.
You know, the 179th Brigade is not completely absent from the war. Li Haiyao works in the logistics department. Except that she does not go to the front line, all military supplies must be recorded and calculated by her hand.
This guy.
It was as if Chen Jun was beating his father-in-law in the front, and Li Haiyao was counting how much it cost to beat his father in the back.
The war between the 179th Brigade and the 124th Division must be hidden.
Bomb the division headquarters and capture the division commander.
It was passed down by word of mouth among the soldiers, and maybe it reached Li Haiyao's ears, and it was passed down to several generations.
However, since he didn’t bring his mobile phone, it would not take up the communication resources of the brigade. He was still thinking about how to talk about this matter when he returned to the brigade.
Now it seems that with the strong mouth of the political commissar, there should be no big problem.
Finish your own business.
Chen Jun looked up at Tao Lu and Political Commissar Xu, and he was about to ask.
The two of them came here at this time to inform them of their return to camp.
Tao Junming waved his hand simply.
"Stop guessing. The exercise is over and this review meeting has been postponed. Now within the army organization, a meeting is being held to discuss the elimination of the army's mechanized infantry division and armored division establishment."
"The higher-ups are serious this time. They will remove all the division-level units of the First Army within one month of the year before the end of the year and divide them into five combined brigades."
"Our 179 is just one of them. ”
"After the conference, the remaining four brigades will arrange for people to come over to select people. If I don't control them."
"Who else can I keep besides you, the deputy chief of staff?"
“Can you stop them?”
Tao Lu’s words were very straightforward. Of course, he did his job very efficiently.
The day Tao Junming arrived.
Ma Hongjie, He Yingtao, and Qi Shaoxiang, together with dozens of core members of the battalion, were sent back to the 179th Brigade from Fuzhou in batches by jeep overnight.
Lao Ma and the three of them have nothing to say.
Originally, he was a member of the 1st Motorized Rifle Battalion of the 179th Brigade, and he is also the main force of the current integrated 1st Battalion.
As for the remaining company commanders, some were promoted from the platoon commander, and some were simply transferred from the mechanized division of the mechanized infantry brigade.
Old Tao did not move.
The group of backbones transported away are also the core that supports the normal operation of each company in the first battalion.
Just getting started.
Chen Jun really felt that the brigade commander was making a fuss and there was no need to be so nervous.
After all, even if a battalion is disbanded, the distribution must be organized, right?
They can’t commit the crime of robbing people, right?
But soon, he discovered that his guess was wrong, a big mistake.
Chen Jun ignored the determination above, and even ignored how panicked the other four brigades designated as the combined brigade were.
Even more underestimated the bottom line of this group of people.
It was nine o'clock in the evening on January 24, 2017, which was the day Tao Lu arrived.
Usually at this time, there are no training tasks in the camp, and it is time to rest after roll call.
Good guy, dozens of military jeeps and hundreds of personnel carriers rumbled to the first battalion station.
The bright car lights illuminated the nearby campsite.
The cadres who led the team had transfer orders in their hands. They didn't care who the person was. As long as they were soldiers from the first battalion, they would coax and coax them to the personnel carrier.
That scene couldn't be said to be selecting someone, it was more like robbing someone.
Not to mention Chen Jun was stunned, even the Blue Army who gathered nearby to watch the excitement were dumbfounded.
Chen Jun just stood aside and watched, surrounded by a group of cadres.
This group of idiots greeted him in all directions when they came up, including those who let him smoke and those who stuffed their cigarettes. It only took half a minute.
Chen Jun’s mouth, hands, and pockets were all stuffed with cigarettes.
You can even hold several of them on your ears.
“Batalion Commander!!”
"Battal Commander!!"
Veterans one after another stubbornly stood at attention in the distance and saluted.
Everyone shouted loudly.
They knew that the disbandment of the first battalion was irreversible, and no one was crying and unwilling to leave.
But everyone straightened their backs and said goodbye loudly.
Seeing the familiar faces being taken away, Chen Jun's eyes were red.
He threw away the cigarette in his hand, brushed all the cigarettes off his ears, and strode towards the soldier.
Tao Lu on the side originally wanted to follow him, but he was afraid that Chen Jun would not be able to restrain his emotions at this time and cause trouble again.
But political commissar Xu Wensheng reached out and grabbed him. He shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, Old Tao. Chen Jun has a good idea and won't do anything inappropriate."
"Don't worry. He’s fine.”
Chen Jun did not do anything extraordinary.
He just walked up to the groups of soldiers, stood at attention, and returned the greeting in a standard manner.
“Comrades, I know you are reluctant to leave the battalion, and I am reluctant to leave you all.”
“But our army needs to develop, and our brother units also need you.”
< br>"Work hard in other units and train more good soldiers. When the first battalion is reorganized, I hope everyone can work together."
"Comrades, there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. When you arrive at the new unit, you will still be members of the first battalion."
"The door of our 179th Brigade will always be open to you."
"Yes. , Battalion Commander! ”
No passionate speeches, no cries of death.
Some are just stubborn looking backs, and some are just the roar of cars.
One battalion is gone.
The new battalion was formed only after the incident in the southern waters ended in late July 2016.
Disbanded in late January 2017.
The units moved very quickly. A battalion of soldiers was stationed here for just over an hour.
Except for a few two platoons who were specially left to guard, all the soldiers were taken away.
Take away their carrying gear, guns, backpacks, and bedding together.
A cold wind blew through the empty camp.
It is full of desolation.
Tao Junming shook his head and walked to the side to smoke sullenly.
This is the price of military reform.
Not just one battalion, but many units will have to endure a reorganization that is ten times more painful than this.
After all, the First Battalion is a new battalion and still has its designation. Many units of the First Army lost their designation overnight.
Under the great wheel of reform, there are all painful reorganizations.
Political commissar Xu Wensheng did not go far. He came to Chen Jun and raised his hand to pat his shoulder to comfort him.
In the end, I gave up and did not take action.
At this time, any words will seem pale.
Just stayed silent for a long time.
Political Commissar Xu said: "Chen Jun, since the above has given you a holiday, you should go back to Pengcheng tomorrow." The statistics of the soldiers and equipment will be handed over to them."
"Don't blame them, there is nothing you can do to steal people at this time. An adaptation is an opportunity for some people who are determined to climb up. ”
“We all want to do our best, and there are many processes that can’t be too stuck.”
“Go and clean up your mood.”
“Take your partner home to celebrate the New Year. , I will go to Kyoto National Defense University for further training in the next year."
"When you come back, our 179th Brigade may be completely different, and we will still need you then."
"Yes, Commissar, I understand."
Chen Jun took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
When he comes back, the 179th Brigade will be completely different.
This time's disturbance is not against the First Army. Now it is just withdrawing a few divisions.
In the future, even the military-level designations will be cancelled, and we will start from scratch, and the great storm of military reform will be completely blown away.
And he has a new journey.
But the first camp finally came to an end.
(End of this chapter)
