When everyone heard this, they had no opinions, especially Director Zhao.
In fact, Director Zhao also understood what the Chief of Staff meant. As the Chief of the Training Division, he was nominated for training quotas and other matters. If the Chief of Staff directly asked Lin Yi to study in the battalion commander class, he would definitely bargain for it.
Fan.
After all, Lin Yi had just become the deputy battalion commander, so he would be a little too anxious to want to be the battalion commander so soon. Besides, the battalion commander class is held every year, so it would not be too late for him to take the battalion commander class in two years.
But the chief of staff directly asked Lin Yi to attend the training class for middle-level cadres. This time he jumped two levels. If he bargained again, he could only join the battalion commander's class. I have to say that the chief of staff is worthy of being the chief of staff, and he is experienced in doing things.
.
However, with the Chief of Staff's optimism, Lin Yi's future is really boundless, and Lin Yi was originally the assistant to Brigadier Meng. Does this mean that the Chief of Staff wants to have a good relationship with Brigadier Meng?
It doesn't seem impossible now. After all, Brigadier Meng is the youngest brigade commander in the entire army and has a bright future. It is absolutely necessary to show goodwill to Brigadier Meng.
Director Zhao did not continue to think too much about the background relationship. This is not something he should consider. The exercise is the focus now. "Chief of Staff, there are basically no special operations brigade troops outside the third battalion. Should we mobilize some?"
The troops are coming?"
The chief of staff looked at Deputy Brigadier Chen, "You are the leader of the special operations brigade, and it is up to you to decide on this matter."
Deputy Brigadier Chen waved his hand quickly, "I am now a member of the director team, so naturally I cannot interfere with the decision-making of the commander of the 1st Special Operations Battalion, but according to my understanding of him, he should not be sending troops to the vicinity of the 3rd Battalion at the moment.
Having lost two established companies, he did not dare to take risks. At most, he would only arrange a platoon of personnel to design traps along the way to hinder their movement speed as much as possible.
In addition, I have observed that except for the third battalion, the other three battalions only brought a week's worth of food. This means that the other three battalions need to purchase food. The number of troops in these three battalions is not large.
If they were to separate purchasing teams to purchase, they would definitely have trouble keeping track of the beginning and the end.
Especially for the 5th and 6th battalions, the headquarters may have been stolen while purchasing supplies. It would take up to three days to deal with these two battalions. At that time, the first battalion commander would free up his manpower to attack the third battalion.
.”
The chief of staff nodded, "The real show will start in three days. Let's wait and see."
Although the third battalion currently has the most complete strength, life is not easy. Long-distance raids, fierce battles, and huge physical exertion have forced them to slow down their progress.
As the three main companies returned to the third battalion, the logistics chief ran to find Lin Yi, "Deputy battalion commander, our battalion has won several battles in succession, and the soldiers are exhausted. I want to make some delicious treats in the evening."
Let the warriors rest for a good night. In addition, after this meal, our meat is relatively tight. Although the current food is enough to last for ten days, I am thinking about buying some meat.
kind."
Food is the basis of stability. Even though he knew that he could not persist in the assessment for ten days, the logistics chief was still worried that the soldiers' nutrition would not keep up.
Lin Yi picked up the map at this time and marked the specific locations of several battalions. "The assessment time has reached the fourth day. The other three battalions only have three days of food reserves at most. They will definitely purchase supplies in these two days.
We will definitely be blocked by the enemy by then, and the 5th and 6th battalions have already declined, so we cannot sit idly by and do nothing."
When the logistics chief heard this, he was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Deputy battalion commander, we have to have a certain attitude when we help people. Normally when we are in the army, it doesn't matter if we help them a little bit. After all, we are all
He is a comrade-in-arms, and there is nothing wrong with being generous.
But this assessment is to determine which battalion is stronger and more qualified for the quota of the heavy-duty combined battalion. We must not lose the big for the small. It is their own problem that they cannot hold on. We can help once, but what happens next?
You can’t just help every time.”
Then he quickly looked at the Chief of Staff and said, "Chief of Staff, you think so."
When the chief of staff saw that the chief of the logistics unit had brought the war to him, he was a little hesitant. Going to help meant fighting. If there was a war, as the chief of staff, he would be the first person responsible.
It's not that he doesn't want to help, but the strength of the fifth and sixth battalions is really too weak. If we make a long-distance attack, we will help them repel the enemy once at most. At worst, we will provide them with supplies for one day. This is the limit. But we also have
You have a mission, you can't always think about helping them and ignore your own mission.
It's true that you, Lin Yi, are the deputy battalion commander, and you are currently the highest commander of the entire battalion. However, the exercise will eventually end, and the battalion commander is the core of the entire battalion. No matter how capable you are, you can't overshadow the battalion commander. After all,
The battalion commander is the leader of a battalion. As his deputy, you must listen to him.
Once he incurs battle damage while supporting the 5th and 6th Battalions, thus affecting the mission, causing the heavy equipment battalion to be taken away by the 4th Battalion, then he, the chief of staff, will really not be able to continue doing his job, and the battalion commander will scold him.
Kill yourself.
Then he said: "Deputy Battalion Commander, I think the logistics chief is right. This is an assessment, not a war. We are now in a competitive relationship, and we also have our own tasks.
Our advantage is obvious enough. We have eliminated two enemy organic companies. This record is enough for you to be proud of the rest. Now you only need to continue the assessment steadily to achieve the final victory. The honor will always be with you.
At this time, please don’t make unnecessary mistakes. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. In the past, when we were barefoot, we were not afraid of anything, but now that we are wearing shoes, we have more things to worry about.”
Lin Jing noticed that both of them were against him, and waved his hand, "Chief of the Logistics Section, didn't you say that we need extra food in the evening? Go ahead and prepare more meat. It's cold now, and it's not okay for the soldiers not to eat well."
When the logistics chief saw that he was about to be sent away, he looked at the chief of staff and said, "You must advise the deputy battalion commander."
As the logistics chief walked out of the tent, Lin Yi looked at the chief of staff, "You're right, as long as we work steadily, we will live a comfortable life, but you have never heard of an idiom, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Once the fifth and sixth battalions are captured
If we destroy them, the main force of the first special operations battalion will attack us. Will we be able to resist it then?
As commanders, we must have a sufficient view of the overall situation and cannot just think about our own territory. And since I joined the army, I want to firmly believe that the best defense is to attack, and the only way is to keep attacking.
Only then will we be safer. I hope you are of the same mind as me and you should think about it carefully."
