In an office of the Southeast Military Region Headquarters, Zhang Zheng, Chief of Staff of the Military Region, looked at an article in his hand and pondered for a moment before laughing.
After laughing, he took the office phone and dialed: "Hello, this is Zhang Zheng, please check the information of a major named Jiangbei of the T Division of the B Group Army. Yes, including the articles he has published, all are sent to my office.
"
After hanging up the phone, Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng continued to sit on the chair and flipped through the documents he had just read.
Not long after, a school official came to the door and shouted a report.
"Come in." Chief of Staff Zhang glanced at the door and said.
After the colonel came in, he saluted Chief of Staff Zhang and then put a stack of documents on the table: "Chief, this is the information you asked for about Major Jiangbei."
"Okay, Xiao Wang, leave it here. I'll call you if I have anything to do." Chief of Staff Zhang nodded, and then continued to immerse himself in the information.
"Yes!" The school officer immediately saluted and left the office.
Not long after the school officer left, Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng put down the document in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and said to himself: "What a great article. The more I read, the more reasonable it becomes."
Then he took the information sent by the school officer and opened it, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
At this moment, the door rang. Just when Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng was about to curse, he saw his deputy, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Military Region Liu Yang, who was knocking on the door. He immediately stopped talking and said with a smile: "Old Liu, you are not the right person."
Did you go to the headquarters for a meeting to discuss the establishment of a multi-branch synthetic digital force? Why, you are back so soon."
"Forget it, just because of this digital force with multiple arms, the quarrel was extremely fierce at the meeting, and no one was convinced."
Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang took off his general hat and put it on the table, then sat down on the sofa and sighed.
"It's normal. We have never had this kind of army before, and we don't have much reference experience abroad. We can only think about it from all directions. Of course everyone is arguing fiercely."
Chief of Staff Zhang laughed loudly and said, if Deputy Chief of Staff Liu said what he said, he would naturally know the reason.
"It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise it would have been a headache to see them arguing like that." Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang rolled his eyes at Chief of Staff Zhang and said helplessly.
"I can't help it. It's the end of the year and I have to go to each army to check. By the way, you guys have a meeting to discuss the results."
Deputy Chief of Staff Liu said: "It's settled. The headquarters has decided to organize this force from the Eastern Military Region. It will be organized into divisions and will be codenamed DA Division. Our Southeast Military Region has no chance, but Lao Zhong is still more powerful. His theory is more complete and convincing.
leadership."
"There is no way. At the division level, our theory is not as powerful as Lao Zhong. We can only let him lead the East Bubu Military Region to explore."
Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng nodded and said that he had already had a premonition about this meeting. Deputy Commander Zhong Yuannian of the Eastern Military Region had explored digital troops earlier than their Southeast Military Region. He had also read the book written by him and knew that the old
There is a set of clocks.
But now, he suddenly had a desire to compete, because the documents in his hand gave him direction.
"Okay, Lao Liu, let's forget it if we don't get the chance. Come on, let me read you an article. It's very interesting. You won't worry after reading it."
Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng smiled and handed the document he just read to Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang.
"What is it, "About the modular formation of combined forces...", combined forces, isn't this what was discussed at the meeting?"
Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang took it and looked at the cover and said doubtfully.
"You should read it first and then talk about it. After reading it, you will know why I told you not to worry." Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng shook his head and said very mysteriously.
Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang nodded, stopped talking, and opened the document with doubts. As he turned more pages, the doubts on his face gradually dissipated, turned into seriousness, and then turned into a smile.
Until he saw the last page, he looked at the cover again, then raised his head and asked Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng: "Chief of Staff, who is the author of this? Why haven't I heard of his name?"
Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "It's normal for you not to know. This author used to be from the Capital Military Region. He was transferred to our military region not long ago. Now you know what I mean!"
Upon hearing this, Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang said in surprise: "Okay, I didn't expect that the person who wrote this kind of article was actually from our military region. Chief of Staff, I know what you mean. What you mean is that we can follow what Comrade Jiangbei wrote.
Same, build an experimental modular synthesis camp?"
Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's what I think. Comrade Jiangbei wrote it well in his article. The combined force should be organized with the company as the modular basic unit, and the military battalion as the basic unit.
The three-level command system, and a lot of the content in it is very informative. It pointed out the direction of our combined force. Compared with the direction he mentioned, I feel that there is a big problem with the DA division to be established at the headquarters. According to
Their command system is too bloated."
Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang nodded and said in agreement: "Indeed, he has a lot of useful information, and this modularity is the most attractive. Secondly, he talked about the command system, the three levels of the military battalion, and the setting up of staff at the battalion level, and the digital command platform
, much more powerful than the DA division which is still in the exploratory stage. Now I want to meet Comrade Jiangbei and hear his specific views."
Then Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang said worriedly: "Chief of Staff, after all, these are just some ideas and have not been tested. No one can say for sure whether Comrade Jiangbei's ideas meet the needs of our army."
"Hey, what do we lack now? What we lack is officers who have good ideas for combined force exploration. As long as he has an idea and his theory is completely logical and self-explanatory, of course we can do some exploration based on his theory." Zhang
The political chief of staff said.
Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang heard this and said: "Chief of Staff, I know what you mean, but the headquarters has just decided to hand over the DA division to the Eastern Military Region for exploration. Even if we want to do it, the headquarters will not agree to it now. After all, the funds are limited.
Large-scale trials are possible."
Hearing Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang's words, Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng laughed loudly and said: "Old Liu, why can't you change your mind? Didn't you read Comrade Jiangbei's article mentioned that the military, brigade and battalion three-level combined forces, headquarters
We won’t agree that our military region should establish a division-level or brigade-level camp. We can always organize a combined battalion. This does not require the approval of the headquarters. Our military region can still squeeze out the personnel and equipment funds for a battalion."
"Batalion level? Hey, Chief of Staff, look at my brain. I'm confused. I think that the DA division is at the division level. We have to build a similar level. But, according to Comrade Jiangbei's theory, the combined battalion is
As for the most basic synthesis unit, it is indeed necessary to explore the synthesis camp first before developing other units."
Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang heard the reminder from Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng and immediately understood that this was the military region's own exploration of the combined camp.
As the deputy chief of staff of the military region, he didn't have a good vision. Although he only took a glance at Jiangbei's theory, he understood that the most basic combined battalion was not good, and the combined force was like a sky loft.
Seeing that Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang understood, Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, we will set up a combined battalion, and the leaders of the combined battalion are all ready-made. You don't have to select a qualified person like a DA division."
Conditional teacher."
"Chief of Staff, do you mean Comrade Jiangbei? Comrade Jiangbei can write this kind of theory, and his military theoretical level is certainly great, but if he wants to serve as the military commander of an experimental unit, does he have any ability? After all, theory is theory, experiment
The qualities required of military commanders of large-scale troops are not simple."
Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang said worriedly that although he did not know the situation in Jiangbei, he understood that this kind of experimental force was not something ordinary people could serve, even those who proposed the theory.
"Don't worry about this. Although Comrade Jiangbei is still young and his position is only a deputy battalion-level cadre, I don't think there are many people in the entire army who are more qualified than him in terms of his abilities and achievements. He cannot reach the highest military rank."
Don't be afraid to ask for it. Anyway, it won't take a short time to establish this army. We can completely inspect the little guy. As long as he performs well before preparing to build a combined camp, we can give him some opportunities to improve his qualifications.
"
Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng knew Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang's concerns, but for Jiangbei, after reading the files, he had a candidate for the future military commander of the combined battalion.
After speaking, he handed Jiangbei's information to Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang.
"Is it that powerful? It's so powerful. Even in the Capital Military District, I should have heard of it."
Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang took the information and said doubtfully, then opened the information, looked at the thick form, took a breath, and said in disbelief: "I read that right, at such a young age, there are
Two first-class merits, several second-class merits and third-class merits."
He was a man who crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood during the war years. He worked step by step to reach his current position without having so many personal merits.
"Keep reading! There are also his papers in the Capital Military Region, his deeds in the army at the headquarters, and what he is doing now."
Zhang Zheng said.
"I have no objection to Comrade Jiangbei serving as the commander of the combined battalion, and there is no one more suitable than him."
After reading the information, Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Yang said in a solemn tone, because he saw from the information a rising and outstanding military cadre.
"Okay, then let's take some time to go to Army Group B to see this little guy and listen to his opinion." Chief of Staff Zhang Zheng said.
"No problem, I also want to see the firepower configuration of the team and the actual combat training that the little guy is currently doing." Deputy Chief of Staff Liu nodded.
………
At the gate of the first battalion, a military truck drove into the camp and stopped at the gate of the first battalion's weapons depot. Battalion Commander Wang, who was checking the equipment in the weapons depot, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly said to the soldiers beside him: "Quick, go tell the deputy battalion commander
, just say that new equipment has arrived.”
"Yes, battalion commander."
The soldier immediately trotted towards the training ground.
After a while, Jiangbei came back with the soldiers, bringing with him several cadres and soldiers who had trained with him.
"Jiangbei, come on, the new equipment you applied for from the regiment has arrived. Good guy, there are so many 89-type 80mm rocket launchers, as well as 120mm rifle grenade launchers. I thought the leader would not agree to equip so many.
"Firepower, I didn't expect that I actually agreed. If you set up the firepower configuration of this team, one squad may be worth two squads."
Battalion Commander Wang looked at the equipment that the soldiers were carrying, smacked his lips, and sighed.
He knew that Jiangbei wanted to increase the firepower of the team, and he had read the content. He also signed the application. After all, he was still the battalion commander, so he had to agree to all of this. He originally thought that the division and regiment would agree to increase the firepower, which meant exchanging 40 firepower for
For 120, I didn’t expect that it also came with a disposable 89-type rocket launcher.
"battalion commander!"
Jiang Bei came over to say hello to Battalion Commander Wang, and then looked at the lieutenant who was escorting the equipment.
The lieutenant often traveled to the First Battalion, so of course he knew Jiang Bei, so he saluted: "Deputy Battalion Commander Jiang, all the equipment requested by the First Battalion has been delivered. Please sign to receive it. Battalion Commander Wang has already signed."
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, Comrade Song."
Jiang Bei nodded and began to sign. He was the deputy battalion commander and was in charge of logistics, so it was natural for him to sign.
After signing, Lieutenant Song took his leave and left with the soldiers escorting the weapons and equipment.
Seeing the people leaving, Jiang Bei said to Battalion Commander Wang: "Batalion Commander, we can distribute the weapons in the afternoon so that everyone can begin to adapt to the new team firepower configuration and team organization."
"Okay, then follow your plan. If you need any support, tell me and I will solve it right away."
Battalion Commander Wang nodded and said that during this period, he also went to observe the actual combat training conducted by Jiangbei, and the results were very good.
"good!"
Seeing that Battalion Commander Wang agreed, Jiangbei gave instructions to the veterans in charge of distributing weapons, told them to collect the equipment, send it to the training ground in the afternoon, and left.
The firepower configuration of his team was actually the later configuration plan of the People's Liberation Army. He just improved it on the basis of existing equipment. After all, some equipment has not been developed by the country, or it has been developed, but it is still in the experimental stage and cannot be used.
Equip troops.
However, the equipment he knew was enough to complete the firepower configuration of the team. As long as the rack was set up and the equipment came out later, he could quickly follow up.
The team organization is mainly divided into two forms, one is the configuration of weapons, that is, firepower, and the other is the personnel organization based on firepower and warfare forms.
In terms of firepower configuration, due to different war environments, firepower configuration is also different.
Since the infantry squads in the north are located in plain areas, they mainly deal with heavy-armed troops. In the 1980s and 1990s, they were equipped with two or more rocket launchers, which were actually standard anti-tank equipment, such as Gang 7th Company, the old troops in Jiangbei.
There are two rocket launchers.
In the southern region, the environment is complex, mainly hills, plateaus and mountainous areas, and the firepower configuration is different.
However, these weapons and equipment were already outdated. What he wanted to do was to use the new equipment he came into contact with in Brigade A to change the firepower configuration of the team, including 95 rifles, 95 machine guns, 88 snipers, and new rocket launchers.
In response to this firepower, he had to make changes in team personnel according to different circumstances.
Therefore, he wants to change the traditional three-three team into a five-two team.
The "five-two system" is a squad of ten people, two people in a group, divided into five task groups according to combat needs.
Responsible for a series of combat needs such as command, reconnaissance, sniper, assault, cover, anti-armor or air defense.
Of course, this is just some of his theoretical research. To make everyone believe that this kind of team is better than the 3-3 system, he has to come up with substantial data and evidence.
To come up with these things, a pilot team must be established as soon as possible and conduct a series of practical confrontations with traditional teams.
If you want to engage in actual combat, you must also conduct actual combat training. The two are complementary and indispensable.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei's eyes became firmer as he walked on the road.
