Chapter 82 Disaster of Steel Seventh Company, or rebirth from the ashes?
Because of this incident, instructor Hong Xingguo specially found Gao Cheng's room.
"Why--"
Instructor Hong Xingguo frowned deeply, sighed and said: "Lao Gao, in my opinion, changing people on the spot can only mean one thing, that is, the order has arrived, and it is likely that it has already arrived at the regiment headquarters."
"I see."
Gao Cheng had an expressionless face and was very worried.
"In this case, we must be prepared." Hong Xingguo said in a low voice.
"Preparation? How to prepare?"
Gao Cheng took out his cigarette case to smoke, but found it was empty. He crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into the trash can, then opened the cabinet to look for cigarettes.
"Think about it, Gang Seventh Company has been here for so many years, and we have been here for so many years. Even if it is gone, we still have to let everyone leave with a smile."
Gao Cheng didn't like hearing what Hong Xingguo said, and his face became even more ugly.
He yelled at the top of his voice: "Smile and leave? What you said is easy. How to laugh? Show me how to laugh. Hurry up and laugh."
Gao Cheng spoke loudly, and Hong Xingguo quickly went over and closed the door.
"This is the general trend. We have no choice. All we can do is be prepared, leave a last good impression on everyone, and leave happily."
As a political cadre, Hong Xingguo's way of thinking is different from that of a military chief.
He is more emotional!
But Gao Cheng was completely different from him. He couldn't accept this result. The company with so many years of history was gone.
"Leave happily? You are farting. Who can leave happily in this situation?" Gao Cheng yelled.
"Okay, you are not in the right mood right now. I know you need time to buffer, so just be quiet here. I believe you can figure it out."
Hong Xingguo built Gaocheng and spoke louder and louder. The soldiers below heard the bad news and chose to calm down temporarily.
After saying that, he walked towards the door!
"I can't figure it out, and I won't be able to figure it out even to death. Why does it have to be the Seventh Company of Steel? The Seventh Company of Steel is better than them, so why can't it be replaced by another company?" Gao Cheng said angrily.
"Hey~~"
Hong Xingguo stood by the door and sighed.
He didn't know how to persuade Gao Cheng. He knew how deep Gao Cheng's feelings were for Gang 7th Company. It was precisely because the feelings were so deep that it was painful to let them go.
So he opened the door and walked out, leaving Gao Cheng alone to calm down.
"I promised not to abandon them and not give up, but now I have to give them up with my own hands. How can I figure it out? How can this make me feel better?"
Gao Cheng yelled at the closed door.
I feel very uncomfortable, so depressed that I want to smoke.
He untied the cigarettes he had found and put one in his mouth.
After taking several long puffs, my hands, which were shaking due to excessive emotion, felt a little better and did not shake off the cigarette.
After the Silent Man smoked half a cigarette, Gao Cheng remembered that when Jackie Chan left, he asked the correspondent to send a letter.
At that time, he realized that something big was going to happen to the 7th Steel Company, and he was very disturbed and emotionally unstable. He did not open the letter and directly threw it on the table.
Thinking that Jackie Chan had been sneaking around during this period, Gao Cheng took the envelope and opened it and read it.
…
Division meeting room.
After receiving the meeting order from the division headquarters, all the commanders of regiment-level units under the infantry division gathered in this huge conference room.
"stand up!"
Following a command, all regiment-level cadres stood up.
The door was pushed open by two guards from the outside, and two senior colonel officers with a shoulder resistance of 2 cents and 4 cents pushed the door in and walked straight to the front seat.
With such a rank and such a position.
The identities of the two people are about to come out——
Division commander and division political commissar!
After the teacher on the left arrived at his position, he stood and saluted everyone, and said with a smile: "I am very grateful to everyone for your support of my work, which makes me more confident. Thank you, please take a seat."
All regiment-level cadres sat down in response, and the political commissar also took off his hat and sat down.
Only the division commander was still standing. He took off his hat and placed it on the left front of the table. He looked at the whole audience and said, "I think everyone knows the main topic of today's meeting.
The just-concluded confrontation exercise made it clear to all of us that times have changed, fighting methods have changed, and reform is imperative.
We have been changing and touching the bones, from motorization to semi-mechanization, and from semi-mechanization to mechanization.
Now, new reforms are coming again. We need to move from mechanization to the information age. This is a major trend that cannot be skipped.
Most of you here have gone through the first two stages, and frankly speaking, it was not easy.
But the most difficult task is undoubtedly that of leaving and keeping people. Many honorable old troops had to be sent away.
Emotionally speaking, we are really reluctant to part with it, but from the perspective of the future development needs of the army and the macro perspective, we must do this.
Commander Wang!"
"arrive!"
The division commander specifically named the commander of the 702nd Regiment. Commander Wang stood up with a sullen face, and his voice was not so loud, reflecting his depressed mood.
The division commander felt the pain of Commander Wang and left his position and walked behind him.
Patting Captain Wang on the shoulder, he said: "The general trend is that the division party committee has designated the 702nd Regiment as a pilot unit. An old unit may be withdrawn. You must make preparations."
Although Captain Wang had already heard the news, the moment he actually heard it still made him feel uncomfortable, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
But he still replied firmly: "It is our responsibility."
It is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders, from soldiers to leaders.
"If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
The division commander did not want to dismantle the 7th Steel Company, because it was a glorious company, an iron-blooded company that had come from the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and persisted to this day.
However, in this great trend of reform, veteran comrades still have to take the lead and inevitably make sacrifices.
The most important thing is...
The Seventh Steel Company is losing its intended role!
The role of a reconnaissance company lies in two words - reconnaissance. As an armored infantry reconnaissance company, Gang 7th Company's main role is to obtain enemy intelligence for the regiment. It is not the best at frontal combat.
Other armored units fight with tanks. How can a pure infantry company of an armored unit fight with others?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The other companies of the 702nd Regiment are all mixed companies of tanks and infantry, not pure infantry companies, and can engage in head-on combat.
This makes the 7th Steel Company, a pure infantry company, the only alternative in the entire regiment.
The biggest advantage of the Seventh Steel Company in the past has now become its biggest flaw.
Now the military region has established a special operations group A, which has multiple squadrons and several squads, which is enough to meet the combat mission needs of the entire army.
The section responsible for modern special forces has completely covered the role of the reconnaissance company.
Coupled with the integration of the information age, modern special forces can crush the reconnaissance company in all aspects.
A few old A's can play the role of a company and provide enough intelligence for the armored unit of the 702nd Regiment. So what is the significance of the 7th Steel Company?
Since you can't show value, being eliminated is inevitable.
One era creates one god.
In the information age, it no longer belongs to Steel Seventh Company.
Since the 7th Gang Company has lost its "investigation" value, under the trend of information reform, the useless companies will definitely be targeted first.
Moreover, the Seventh Steel Company, which has gathered the elites of the whole regiment and can be called a nest of talents, has been removed, and the scattered elites can be replenished to other companies.
Act as an overall reinforcement.
By removing the armored reconnaissance company number, the Seventh Company can successfully become a pilot for information reform and reorganize it into a new unit that meets the needs of the times.
Removing a useless establishment can disperse personnel to reinforce other companies, and free up space for reform pilots.
Kill three birds with one stone.
With the huge benefits, no one can change it.
Commander Wang is very clear about all this. He knows that the nature of the Seventh Steel Company has already determined the outcome, and no matter how much more is added, it will not help.
So you simply stopped struggling and said in a muffled voice: "The biggest difficulty has already been mentioned."
"Can you overcome it?" the teacher asked.
Captain Wang took a deep breath and said, "Even if I can't overcome it, is there anything I can do?"
There are so many regiments in the infantry division, and each regiment has an armored infantry reconnaissance company. Why choose the 702nd regiment specifically, or the 7th Steel Company with such historical significance?
Although Captain Wang could not disobey orders, he still felt very uncomfortable.
The division commander could understand Commander Wang's discomfort, but the decision had already been issued and he could not make any changes. He could only say: "The reorganization plan is left to your regiment to decide on its own. I hope the 702nd Regiment will come up with a reorganization plan as soon as possible."
The reorganization plan was delegated to the regiment, and the 702nd regiment decided how to reform the 7th Steel Company.
It can also be regarded as compensation from the division headquarters to the 702nd Regiment!
"This plan is not for me alone, nor is it for a group of people. It is for a unit. I need time to process it," said Commander Wang.
"I remind everyone, I remind our cadres, please have a sense of time. What we... lack most now is time." The division commander said insinuatingly.
"One month, give me one month." Captain Wang has no choice but to delay for one day.
"Okay, but it must be specific to the individual." The teacher requested.
"Yes! Be specific to... individuals."
Captain Wang was choked up when he spoke, which showed how intense the emotions were inside him.
"Okay, I'll wait for your plan."
The teacher raised his hand and saluted.
Captain Wang felt uncomfortable and did not return the greeting, and even turned his face to the side.
Hold on to the stubbornness in your heart!
Express your dissatisfaction with the division's decision!
The division commander's face darkened, he clenched his teeth a few times and put down his hand. He turned around and walked back without saying a word, which was regarded as letting Commander Wang's willfulness go.
after all.
The sacrifices the 702nd Regiment has to make are too great, and both sides need to understand.
Captain Wang sat down numbly, his eye sockets turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and something glittering and translucent was forced into his eye sockets.
…
The commander's room of the 7th Steel Company.
Gao Cheng opened the letter from Jackie Chan and became more and more emotional the more he read it.
Not angry, but surprised.
The content of Jackie Chan's letter to him has only one main body, and its core is about the inevitable reform and reorganization of the military under the impact of the wave of information-based military affairs.
Jackie Chan did not directly say that he was 100% sure that the Seventh Company of Steel would become a victim of this reform.
Because it is unreasonable to say so.
At most, I can only say that I heard rumors.
Jackie Chan can't even say that he is a time traveler and knows how the plot works.
In order to solve the problem without appearing alien.
Jackie Chan chose to do logical reasoning and add a little bit of gossip.
The beginning was the Kuwait War that shocked the world, coupled with the so-called large amount of news and information obtained from the Internet while studying at Capital University.
Using this information as a guide, we can infer that country Z's information-based military reform is inevitable.
Then, based on the Red and Blue Mountain Confrontation Exercise, it was speculated that this was the preliminary work carried out by the above for military reform.
The Blue Army troops using information warfare can easily kill the Red Army troops with fewer people and equipment. If they lose, they can only accept the reform with conviction.
Finally, I used my personal analysis and logic to deduce that the one being targeted might be the 7th Steel Company.
And why are you being targeted!
The first reason is that the 7th Steel Company still has a role that highly overlaps with the newly formed Special A Group of the Group Army, but its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the latter.
The functions of the two units overlap, so one of them must be eliminated during the military reform.
Brigade A is an information-based special operations unit. It is a new product that conforms to the trend. It is a key unit and cannot be disbanded.
Then the Steel Seventh Company, which has no existing value, has a high probability of being withdrawn.
The second reason is that Chinese traditional thought has deeply influenced the culture of the army.
When something goes wrong at home, it is the boss who takes care of it, and party members who fight floods and provide disaster relief go first. The same goes for military reform, which naturally requires sacrifice.
Although the 7th Steel Company is not the best company in the division, it is the oldest.
At this critical moment.
We need the big brother to stand up and clear the way for the younger generations.
Coupled with some other evidence as support, Jackie Chan finally concluded in the letter that the 7th Steel Company has a high chance of becoming a reform pilot unit.
Military reform is an unshakable trend, and Jackie Chan believes that the Seventh Company of Steel cannot escape this disaster.
But since the big ones can’t be saved, we can think of ways to keep them as small as possible.
Never abandon or give up is the slogan and honor of Steel Seventh Company. Since the establishment of Steel Seventh Company is destined to be cancelled, we must find a way to keep everyone.
In this way, at least everyone can still be together, and at least the slogan of the Seventh Steel Company has not been completely abandoned——
Do not abandon, do not give up!
As long as he can think of an appropriate reorganization and reform plan, Jackie Chan feels that by keeping everyone in Steel Seventh Company, the chance of success is still very high.
The entire second half of the letter is the outline of the restructuring and reform plan envisaged by Jackie Chan.
As long as this reorganization and reform plan is passed, the 7th Steel Company will not have to be dismantled to pieces. Not only will it lose its number, but it will also lose its people.
Rather, it allows the original people of Steel Seventh Company to make a perfect transition to the "new organization" company.
It is equivalent to changing the company name, and then the company's functional scope is no longer reconnaissance, and becomes a new combat unit.
The remaining camp, personnel and everything else remained unchanged.
"This guy is so smart. This idea..., this idea is simply brilliant. He is worthy of being a literate and advanced intellectual. His brain is easy to use. This method will definitely work."
Gao Cheng was extremely excited after reading the letter, sweeping away his previous decadence and powerlessness.
He put the letter in his pocket, got up and ran out.
