Chapter 561: Half-month appointment, maybe this is the charm of Director Chen
I really don’t blame the Firepower Company Soldier, I’m cursing my mother in my heart.
The practical assessment mentioned before involves the bundling of subjects and the coherence of projects.
This kind of similar subject is very good in the camp, even if it is a one-year soldier.
But what the hell is the situation in front of me?
On the battalion training ground, the area with a radius of several kilometers was filled with smoke. Tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, mortar trucks, demining vehicles, transport vehicles, and armored repair vehicles were scattered throughout the training ground.
The chariots crisscrossed each other vertically and horizontally. Although each chariot was relatively far away, its speed was not slow. Even communication had returned to the stage of basically relying on shouting.
Several old non-commissioned officers were holding command flags, and they could faintly be seen directing the maneuvers of the tanks. This was the formation of the main battalion's daily training subject of tank moving chain strangulation.
It's just that there is only mobile strangulation, and it only tests the armor's driving skills and combat literacy.
There is no shooting involved.
But even so, there are only four words that can describe the entire training ground, that is, intense and crazy.
The gathering point for the actual combat assessment was in the center of the mobile strangulation formation for heavy-duty training, where the company flag of their fire company was erected, fluttering in the wind, and full of power.
The commander of the fourth battalion, Wang Guangyi, stood at the entrance of the training ground with a face as if he was constipated.
Director Chen just explained that a practical assessment was to be conducted. Lao Wang followed the request and immediately pulled out the two infantry companies and two tank companies under their battalion.
He was cooperative, but in his heart he didn't agree that an assessment required such a big battle.
Chen Jun rode in a military vehicle, with soldiers from the fire company behind him running forward in full gear.
When everyone came to the training ground and saw this situation, the faces of the group of soldiers who were selected for assessment changed.
The Fourth Battalion is indeed the main battalion of the 92nd Brigade. There is nothing wrong with this. They often practice coordination, but that is not how coordination is done. It is full-scale firepower interleaving.
Without the cooperation of radio communication, rashly breaking into an armored strangulation formation, is it any different from an unarmed pedestrian entering a highway?
In other words, it's more dangerous than on the highway.
Because a battalion of heavily equipped tanks weighing several thousand tons were scattered within a small radius of several kilometers, even the ground was shaking.
This is not an ordinary psychological test.
"Did you see the company flag of your fire company?"
Chen Jun got off the car, raised his finger and pointed to the high-flying company flag one kilometer away: "That is the gathering point for this actual combat assessment. Only when we get there can we start the subsequent assessment subjects."
"Who comes first?"
After Chen Jun finished speaking, the soldier whose name he had just called frowned and looked at his company commander.
At this moment, the firepower company commander was standing in front of Battalion Commander Wang, with an angry expression on his face: "Battalion Commander, the people in the Supervision Department are just messing around. How can they let their own people cross the battle line in the heavy firepower strangulation formation?"< br>
“I don’t agree with this one-kilometer assessment.”
"Shut up."
Wang Guang glared at the firepower company commander, and then he walked up to Chen Jun with a smile: "Director Chen, is this actual combat assessment too difficult?"
"The field of vision for driving the chariot is too small, and the dust in the entire field is so high that both the driver and the soldiers undergoing assessment have serious obstructions in their vision. It is easy to cause accidents when crossing the battle line like this."
"Really?"
Chen Jun nodded with a smile but not a smile: "It is indeed difficult, but it is not necessarily necessary to tell the accident, right?"
"These chariots are all more than 180 meters apart. Let us inform you and let the assessment begin."
Chen Jun didn't give Battalion Commander Wang a chance to bargain at all. He took out the timer from his pocket and pressed it in front of Wang Guangyi.
"I will give you three minutes to prepare. If there are still soldiers who have not taken action by then, it will be considered a passive pass."
"Don't worry, even if you don't dare to go, I won't let your assessment scores be too bad."
Chen Jun had a selfless and non-negotiable tone.
Could he not know the danger?
When the 179th Brigade training unit was engaged in modular operations, many technical soldiers turned pale with fright. They stood in the group of tanks as if they had been cast upon a body, and did not dare to move.
How many medical soldiers were transferred from field hospitals. They had never even seen a tank before. Suddenly they were chased by a tank weighing dozens of tons during training. The female medical soldiers were so frightened that they cried.
In the end, they were dragged around the training ground by their comrades, and they were dragged onto the medical vehicle, gradually overcoming the fear in their hearts.
Don't they know what fear is and what danger is?
But what can be done? If outsiders don’t know the composition of the heavy brigade, how can they themselves not know it?
This is an important weapon of the country, this is the backbone of the nation, this is the pride of the Chinese people when they straighten their backs and raise their own army, and it is also the anchor of national defense.
Some people may want to say that the heavy equipment brigade is not the most important weapon of the country, but the intercontinental ballistic missiles controlled by the Rocket Force.
There is nothing wrong with this, but it is not comprehensive.
After all, you can’t just drop a nuclear bomb on everything, right?
A country's most important weapon, as long as it is an item or technology of extremely high value, importance, and strategic significance, it can represent a country's scientific and technological strength, national defense capabilities, and comprehensive national strength.
can be given this title.
The establishment and daily maintenance of a heavy-armored combined brigade consumes no less military expenditures than the daily maintenance of an aircraft carrier. Such a large amount of energy and financial resources are spent on its construction.
Naturally, what I want is to see that the heavy armored brigade can really have the effect of deciding the outcome in one battle on the battlefield.
We may not have the opportunity to play in actual combat, but we must not lack the ability to go to the battlefield.
Seeing that Chen Jun was too determined to communicate, Wang Guangyi gritted his teeth and waved, "Get ready for the assessment."
"Comrades whose names were called just now, start getting ready!!"
"Note that all comrades who need to be assessed must go through the traffic and gather at the place where your company flags are raised before the real assessment can be conducted."
"What, pay attention to safety, don't force it."
Battalion Commander Wang said the last words with some hesitation, because the firepower company had never experienced this kind of training.
But the Zuoquan Independent Battalion is a heroic unit after all. Even if the soldiers whose names were called were a little hesitant, the arrogance in their bones told them.
In the fourth battalion, there were only defeated soldiers, not cowards who had not been scared away.
"Up."
"Go!"
The dozen or so soldiers whose names were called rubbed their hands to cheer themselves up, and then almost all of them rushed towards the armored strangulation front without any hesitation.
The people watching, whether they were officers from the fourth battalion or people from the training department, looked at this assessment method with unnatural expressions on their faces.
There were only two people at the scene who were the calmest, one was Chen Jun and the other was Li Wujie.
That can't be helped.
During the previous training of the 179th Brigade, Li Wujie stayed in the camp with Chen Jun for nearly half a year. He was not uncommon in similar training subjects.
He may not be very good himself, but his knowledge is definitely not low.
As the soldiers for the assessment were dispatched, Lu Zhenxin, a recruit from the firepower company's anti-tank missile platoon, stood on the spot. He took a few deep breaths, then gritted his teeth and rushed into the training ground with the steel gun in his arms.
He stared closely at Lian Qi in the distance, and a voice kept telling him that if he rushed over, he would pass, and if he rushed over, he would not embarrass the squad leader.
Not to mention embarrassing the Fourth Battalion.
His idea was good and he was very confident, but it was a pity that the 99A tanks were very close to each other in the heavily equipped and mobile strangulation lineup. Just now, Chen Jun said that the distance between the chariots was more than 180 meters. It sounded very far, but the chariots were running at a speed of 60 miles, let alone 180 meters away.
Even at a distance of 500 meters, a chariot would rumble past in an average of eight seconds.
What's more, the distance between the chariots is not even 500 meters.
Almost every few seconds, a steel monster that is seven to eight meters long and weighs dozens of tons rushes past ten or even a few meters away.
Lu Zhenxin could grit his teeth and persevere at first, but slowly, as the chariot rolled up more and more smoke and dust, it almost buried his whole body. His eyes could not see clearly in front of him, and he only felt that the ground around him was shaking.
He looked at the direction where the company flag was flying high and didn't want to back down, but the instinctive fear in his body prevented him from taking a step forward.
10 seconds, 20 seconds, half a minute, there were several soldiers rushing towards the flag position, their legs seemed to be filled with lead, and they couldn't move their legs at all.
But fortunately, at least these people didn't run around. Compared with the crying scene of the female medical soldiers, the male soldiers' psychological quality was much stronger.
Chen Jun stood outside the training ground. He watched the situation on the field and sighed secretly.
It's useless even if it's much stronger.
The 179th Brigade used to have enough time for the soldiers to adapt. If it doesn't work today, then tomorrow. If it doesn't work in two days, then it will take a week. The environment can always change them.
But not the Fourth Battalion. He didn't have so much time to waste here.
What's more, the 92nd Brigade is not its own unit. Even if work factors are not considered, efficiency must be considered.
Only by allowing one battalion to see the effect as soon as possible can the entire brigade take action as soon as possible.
"Captain Wang, please tell people to withdraw."
"The assessment is over. Also, please stop the chariots of the fourth battalion."
"Yes."
Wang Guangyi was standing next to him. The guy's fingernails were so nervous that they were digging into his flesh. He was afraid that the people in the fire company would get mad and rush forward regardless.
Not everyone can do it in this kind of armored vehicle group. There are also many veterans in the Fourth Battalion who can do it, but it depends on the type of soldier and the length of time they have stayed in the unit.
Not everyone can easily overcome the fear of such a heavily equipped tank driving by them as soon as they get up.
Soldiers are human beings too, and they also need a little bit of adaptation.
Following Chen Jun's order, Battalion Commander Wang shouted through the intercom, and the racing chariot began to slowly stop.
It was only then that the soldier who was standing there unable to move his legs slowly recovered. He turned his head and looked behind him and found that the battalion commander and company commander were looking at them.
The warriors who were selected for assessment lowered their heads in frustration, moved around, and withdrew from the training ground.
The fourth battalion was selected for the assessment, but was stopped midway. Even the soldiers of the infantry company and tank company jumped off the tanks and slowly gathered at the entrance of the training ground.
Staring at the people in the training department, no one said a word.
If you didn't pass, you didn't pass. Even if some veterans were unconvinced, they didn't say anything at this time.
I want to see what the people in the training department have to say.
He noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and more and more soldiers gathered at the entrance and exit of the training ground.
Chen Jun smiled, then took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Comrades, let's put aside the issue of the actual combat assessment just now."
"I would like to ask everyone, since you changed to heavy equipment, has your training been going well?"
Hearing this, the soldiers of the fourth battalion looked at each other with some curses in their hearts.
What a success! If everything goes well, more than a month will pass and there will be no progress in the camp?
The training before the organization was adapted can focus on mobility and flexibility. Three infantry companies cooperate with tanks and artillery companies, and logistics. A battalion is a small combined brigade. In terms of combat, it is easy to respond quickly and deploy firepower.
But heavy equipment is not enough. The main equipment of the entire brigade has all been tracked heavy equipment. The original three infantry companies have been reduced to two infantry companies, and infantry-tank coordination cannot be carried out.
Infantry fighting vehicles, anti-aircraft missiles and artillery were stuffed into battalion-level units as if they were free.
The previous mobility training outlines and rapid response are no longer applicable. Not only that, but the addition of many new tanks has made soldiers unfamiliar with tanks.
With so many problems entangled together, there will only be problems if everything goes smoothly.
Chen Jun did not expect any response from these soldiers. He glanced around and continued in a loud voice: "Comrades, if you don't tell me, I also know the difficulties of the Fourth Battalion."
"You don't have to doubt it. I believe many people here are familiar with me. You should have heard that the 179th Brigade's heavy equipment pilot has achieved initial success."
"I came to the 92nd Brigade to copy the training methods of the 179th Brigade exactly, and you, Brigadier Liu, also agreed."
"And you just told me that if you want to copy the training model of the 179th Brigade, only the fourth battalion of your 92nd Brigade can achieve the fastest results, and it can only be the fourth battalion."
"Because you are an independent battalion of left power."
"However, comrades, even though Brigade Liu trusts us when we are selected as the reorganized vanguard battalion, trust cannot solve all problems."
"The pain of adaptation, the sacrifices and choices that need to be experienced need to be endured by some comrades."
"I just watched the actual combat assessment. To be honest, you performed very well. Being able to charge forward was beyond my expectation, but it is not enough."
"So I want to ask, comrades, are you ready to sacrifice and go all out in the face of the upcoming challenges?"
quiet!
There was silence.
Although Chen Jun didn't say it explicitly, many soldiers present heard the underlying message, which was that he wanted the adaptation to go smoothly.
Some of them want to leave the Fourth Battalion and the leftist independent camp that they are proud of.
Leave this familiar unit.
"Always ready!!"
In the crowd, only one or two people responded at first.
"Always ready!!"
After a while, half of the soldiers in the fourth battalion began to express their stance.
"Always ready!!"
In less than ten seconds, all the soldiers on the scene shouted in unison, their voices sonorous and deafening.
When Chen Jun saw this, he nodded, then turned to look at Wang Guangyi, the commander of the fourth battalion: "Captain Wang, please arrange for someone to count the lists of all privates and superior soldiers in the fourth battalion as soon as possible."
"These comrades will be transferred to other battalions first."
"Then transfer the same number of non-commissioned officers from other battalions. I have told Brigade Liu that even if the person you transfer is a squad leader, other battalions will give it to you."
"I promise comrades here that in one month, no, half a month, as long as everyone works together, I will give you a brand new fourth battalion in half a month."
"Comrades, do you have confidence?"
"Yes!!"
This time, the whole battalion of soldiers shouted loudly.
It was clear that they had disliked Director Chen just now, but they didn't know why.
They were willing to believe from the bottom of their hearts that for half a month, the young colonel in front of them could really bring them change. The 92nd Brigade was currently stuck in a predicament with no progress for more than a month.
Maybe, this is the charm of personality.
