Deep in the wilderness far away from the city, in an open area near the station of the 588th Regiment, the national flag was fluttering in the wind.
On the cement ground not far from the national flag, rows of new equipment are parked neatly, with bright red flowers hanging on each tank!
Armored infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled howitzers, self-propelled rocket launchers, new tanks, artillery radar vehicles, Red Flag air defense missiles, engineering vehicles, electronic interference vehicles, armored command vehicles, etc., are like steel behemoths, dazzling and fascinating.
In front of the new equipment, the soldiers of the combined battalion held their heads high and sang military songs vigorously!
"Our team to the sun!"
"Step on the soil of the motherland!"
"Carrying the hope of the nation!"
Under the national flag, two banners were hung on the newly built high platform, which read: "First, don't be afraid of death, second, don't be afraid of hardship!" Several big characters.
Under the banner, Jiang Bei was standing on the high platform with the leaders of the division, waiting for the time to start the conference!
Today is the founding meeting and equipment distribution ceremony of the Hengying Battalion. As soon as today is over, the Hengying Battalion prepared by Jiangbei and the comrades of the Hengying Battalion will be officially established.
Ever since he joined the army, Jiangbei has never been as excited as he is today.
After he came to the army, the biggest change for him and the army was that he promoted the establishment of the combined battalion several years in advance!
………
"I announce that according to the order of the Southeast Military Region, the pilot digital synthesis battalion of Army Group B was established today..."
Amid the applause of the soldiers, Commander Jiang officially announced the establishment of the combined battalion!
"I hope that the comrades of the synthetic battalion can unite under the leadership of Comrade Jiangbei and Comrade Wang Pengfei, master the equipment of the synthetic battalion as soon as possible, form a strong combat effectiveness, and make important contributions to protecting national security and the interests of the people! Comrades!
, do you have confidence?"
Jiang Bei immediately took the lead and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes!"
"Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me!"
"Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me!"
"Good! Very impressive! I hope you will keep this spirit and explore new ways for the construction of the army!"
Commander Jiang looked at the energetic soldiers in the audience and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Then let's take the oath of ceremony! Led by Comrade Jiangbei! Jiangbei!"
"arrive!"
Jiang Bei shouted loudly and trotted to the front!
"Start!" Master Jiang shouted seriously.
"Yes!" Jiang Bei saluted several leaders, walked to the microphone with a serious face, and took out the oath he had prepared!
Jiang Bei took a deep breath, glanced at the soldiers in the audience, and shouted loudly: "Members of the crew, get on board!"
After giving the order, the drivers, commanders, machine gunners and other crew members of the armored vehicles, tanks and other vehicles that had been waiting for them immediately boarded the tanks as quickly as possible!
After getting all the crew members on board, Jiang Bei led the soldiers to raise their fists and began to take the oath of honor!
"I swear!"
"Care for weapons and equipment as much as you care for your own life!"
"Strictly abide by weapons and equipment management regulations!"
"Use weapons and equipment correctly!"
"Keep weapons and equipment secret!"
"Make sure weapons and equipment are safe!"
After taking the oath, Jiangbei began his speech: "Dear leaders and comrades, today is the day when the digital synthesis battalion is established, and brand-new equipment has arrived!"
"As a member of the Combined Battalion, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Combined Battalion, I would like to assure the leaders that we will definitely use a positive attitude and indomitable determination to be prepared to form combat effectiveness for the Combined Battalion as soon as possible, actively train, conscientiously explore, and develop new capabilities.
The powerful performance of the equipment..."
………
"boom……"
"Bang……"
In the desolate mountainous area, tanks and combat vehicles were firing live ammunition at the target range in the distance while traveling.
"Report to the battalion commander! The tank company has completed the first round of test firing and all hit the target range!"
On a hillside, Jiang Bei and instructor Wang Pengfei were standing in front of the command vehicle, holding binoculars to look at the tank company and armored infantry company training at the bottom of the hillside. Not long after a salvo had passed, Chen Guotao from the command vehicle ran over.
, reported to the two of them.
"Okay, I understand. Tell the first company commander to switch venues as planned and conduct another round of test firing!"
Jiang Bei nodded to express his understanding. He took the training plan, took a look at it, and turned to Chen Guotao to explain.
"Yes!" Chen Guotao received the order, saluted Jiangbei, and returned to the command vehicle to contact the first tank company.
As soon as Chen Guotao left, Jiang Bei felt sleepy and yawned. He patted his face and the sleepiness subsided a little.
"Jiangbei, you'd better go and lie down in the car. I'll be watching. I'll call you if anything happens!"
Jiang Bei shook his head and said, "No, I just felt sleepy for a while. It's nothing. It's not like I haven't slept for a few days!"
After receiving the new equipment, in order to allow the soldiers and cadres of the combined battalion to master various new equipment as soon as possible.
During the day, Jiangbei took the chief officers of each company to the squad level, learning new equipment and exploring new training methods with the soldiers.
In the evening, Jiangbei had to bring several battalion staff officers and comrades from the expert group to summarize the soldiers' experience in learning and exploring the use of new equipment, and form a new equipment use system.
In the past two weeks, he has barely slept well!
"It's not necessary for you to do this. Your body won't be able to bear it, and sooner or later it will collapse. Besides, we have to proceed steadily. This kind of pilot work cannot be done quickly. If it is done too quickly, it is easy to overlook the details." Wang Pengfei said worriedly.
"No, time waits for no one. Most of our new equipment are the latest models. If we don't work overtime and explore, it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. You know, our combined pilot camp has so many people staring at it.
Generally speaking, the time given in it is enough, but time must be squeezed like a sponge. Only in this way can we have more time for trial and error! Only in this way can combat effectiveness be formed faster!"
After Jiang Bei finished speaking, he took the mineral water placed next to him, twisted it away, and touched it on his face. The cold stimulation made the sleepiness completely disappear.
As the promoter of the synthetic camp pilot, he was under a lot of pressure. Although the leaders told him not to put too much pressure on himself, he knew that if the synthetic camp failed to achieve outstanding results in subsequent exercises
, he will definitely face a lot of criticism.
After all, reform will naturally affect the interests of others. Now no one is finding fault. One is that the leaders are relying on their prestige to suppress the other. The other is that the combined battalion does not yet have combat effectiveness.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei said with a serious face: "In a word, we must promote the Hetong Camp pilot with all our strength. We can only succeed, not fail. Even if we fail, it must be a meaningful failure!"
After saying that, Jiang Bei got into the jeep parked next to the command vehicle and drove in the direction of the tank company.
Watching the jeep going away, Wang Pengfei called the battalion secretary.
"Instructor, look for me!" the clerk said.
"I have some medicinal materials for foot soaking at home. You can drive to your sister-in-law later to get some and give them to the battalion commander to help relieve his fatigue!" Wang Pengfei explained.
Wang Pengfei admired Jiangbei very much. During the time since the establishment of the combined battalion, he got along very well with the soldiers. He drove armored vehicles, played with tanks, and had new training. Jiangbei personally went through it all. During this time,
It makes me look disgraced every day.
As an instructor, he can't help much with these tasks. What he can do is try his best to do the ideological work of the comrades and lead the instructors of each company to do the logistics work.
"Yes!" The clerk saluted and left.
………
"battalion commander!"
Jiang Bei drove his jeep to the training ground of the tank company, and the commander of the first tank company immediately came to greet him.
"How are the soldiers training? If you have any problems, please tell me immediately if you have any problems! I will let the expert team solve them!"
Jiang Bei glanced at the company commander who was covered in dust and dirty by the wind, and said.
"Reporting to the battalion commander, several problems in the past few days have been solved. The soldiers have a good grasp of it. No new problems have arisen now!" the first company commander said with a smile.
"Okay, as long as there is no problem, but today is the first test firing. When we get back, we will organize an inspection of the equipment to find out the problems. If there are no problems, just treat it as if we are familiar with the equipment. If there are any, that would be better. Find out the problems.
Find the cause of the problem and eliminate it!"
Jiang Bei came to a tank, walked around it and said.
"Yes! I will immediately organize an investigation after I return!" the first company commander responded.
This tank is the latest Type 99 tank and is the first to be deployed in the army. Jiangbei has never touched it before in Lao A. He used to touch the first generation Type 99 tank.
Jiangbei is actually a little regretful. This generation of Jiujiu Kai is not yet Jiujiu A. Although some information-based components have been installed, it is still a little worse than the future Jiujiu A.
The digital synthetic battalion emphasizes informatization, heavy firepower, and high mobility.
For Jiangbei, the most suitable main battle tank for the combined battalion should be the 99A, the first truly information-based tank.
After all, when he appeared, it was already 89 years later.
"What's the next subject?"
Jiang Bei asked.
"Report to the battalion commander, the next subject is a marching salvo!"
"Then let's get started, pay attention to safety!" Jiang Bei nodded and said.
"Yes!" the first company commander responded, then picked up the walkie-talkie and started calling each tank team.
"Attention, all units, attention, all units, next subject, salvo on the move, target southeast, 2,500 meters away, hillside target area, start!"
After the first company commander finished speaking, black smoke emitted from the tanks that had just stopped, and they started to move forward towards the target hillside with thick billowing dust.
Jiang Bei also took the binoculars handed to him by the tank company soldiers and began to observe.
Not long after, the voice of a tank shooter rang through the intercom: "Armor-piercing projectiles, straight ahead, infantry fighting vehicles, annihilate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guns of the tanks that had just driven away rang out one after another, and live ammunition passed through the wilderness and landed on the circular target range that had been circled for a long time.
"Bang bang bang!"
Thick smoke billowed out instantly, and the top of the hillside was almost flattened.
………
Entrance to Synthetic Camp Canteen
"What's the difference between us soldiers!"
The soldiers of the armored infantry company were singing a song. Private Chen Xiwa, who was standing in the back row of the team, suddenly saw Jiang Beizheng and Chen Guotao Shi Jin walking over not far away while talking.
His expression changed and he said in surprise: "No, the battalion commander and Staff Officer Chen are here!"
"Just come here. Isn't it a normal meal time?" a soldier next to Xiwa said angrily.
"No, I heard from the technical support company that when they were eating this morning, the battalion commander and Staff Officer Chen randomly picked up people and recited the equipment knowledge. Those who couldn't recite the information were fined five kilometers!" Xiwa said with a sad face.
"No, what are you afraid of? Just memorize it if you get it!" the soldier said nonchalantly.
"But I haven't memorized them all yet. If I happen to be asked a question that I can't memorize, wouldn't I be in trouble?" Xiwa sighed.
"Chen Xiwa! Are you feeling itchy? You told the team not to talk!"
Gan Xiaoning, who was standing in front, caught sight of the two of them from the corner of his eye. He glared at Chen Xiwa fiercely and cursed in a low voice.
At this time, the song ended and Xiwa and his company began to enter the cafeteria.
Jiangbei didn't know about Xiwa's depression, but if he knew about it, he would definitely give Chen Xiwa extra training and take away the red flags from Xiwa's class.
"Battal Commander, the new recruits have already started training. They are not far from their next company. By then our battalion will be completely organized. Otherwise, each squad will be short of two or three people like now, and it will be very difficult to coordinate infantry and tank training.
It’s inconvenient, let alone the actual combat training you conducted." Chen Guotao said with a smile.
During this period of time, he did nothing else but focused on assisting Jiangbei in training, so he knew the situation of each class very well.
"What Staff Officer Chen said is true. Not only when it comes to coordinating infantry and tanks, each position requires a complete complement of personnel to complete the coordination between tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and soldiers. This is especially true for actual combat training, including assaulters, precision shooters, and machine gunners.
Wait, we need people. Our armored infantry is okay. After all, the car rental members are fully equipped. Although the car crew affects tactical training, it is not a big problem. It is not so good for other technical companies, especially technical support.
It doesn't work even for soldiers with ordinary culture, and only college students can use those computer equipment."
Squad Leader Shi also echoed.
"Don't worry, these are just a matter of time. Once the recruit company is over, these problems will be solved. What I'm worried about is the veterans' mastery of the new equipment, especially guys like Xiwa. Our current fire guidance equipment is becoming more and more advanced.
I'm worried that even if they can memorize the knowledge points, they won't be familiar with using it."
The armored infantry company has an armored reconnaissance platoon below. Xiwa is in the reconnaissance platoon. His squad leader is still Gan Xiaoning. His concern is that the scouts of the combined battalion will not only engage in infiltration operations like the Yehu Reconnaissance Company did before.
.
They also have to be able to guide all kinds of firepower and attack the enemy like they did when they were in Group A, and the guidance equipment equipped by the combined battalion is mostly high-tech.
It is a bit difficult for Xiwa, who is only at junior high school level.
