The chief of staff was not in a hurry: "There is no conflict, it is the same as our military rank advancement. No matter how great your achievements are, you cannot become a more powerful officer without the corresponding age.
Lin Yi's current military rank is captain, and he has only been a captain for one year. Even if he has achieved first-class merit, which is enough to save one year of promotion to major, he still needs a full year to be promoted to major.
As a major officer.
As for the position of deputy battalion commander of the synthetic battalion, major is his mainstream military rank, let alone the third battalion of the heavily armored synthetic battalion.
If you don't have enough military rank, you will inevitably have insufficient coercion. No matter how capable you are, it is very difficult to get others to admire you.
Lin Yi is not lacking in merit or ability now. The only thing he lacks is his military experience. If you ask me in two years if Lin Yi can lead the Third Battalion well, I will say without hesitation that it is no problem, but not now.
At least I don’t think so.”
When it comes to analyzing officers, the Chief of Staff of the Director's Department is indeed authoritative. After all, he has analyzed enough and seen more cases, so the frequency of mistakes will naturally be lower. In fact, Brigadier Duan and the director
The analysis of the chief of staff was similar. If the commander of the third battalion was abandoned and Lin Yi was allowed to lead the third battalion alone, Lin Yi would not be capable enough.
Moreover, Lin Yi had just returned from the battalion commander's class training and had no effect on the reform of the third battalion. This would naturally greatly reduce his authority.
It seems that it may take some time for the Third Battalion to fully demonstrate its combat effectiveness.
At this time, the brigade commander changed the topic and pointed to the big screen: "Do you think the frontline troops of the third battalion will fall into the trap?"
The chief of staff of the director's department laughed: "When the commander of the third battalion issued a tough order, it was already a trap. Do you want to ask, under the leadership of Lin Yi, will the frontline troops of the third battalion be stuck in the quagmire and helpless?"
Extricate yourself?
To be honest with you, I don’t know about this either. Lin Yi, the deputy battalion commander, can always come up with some tricks for you when you are in dire straits. If the third battalion commander is leading the team, I am confident that I will eat them.
But Lin Yi leads the team, but I don’t have the confidence, so let’s be patient and see what tricks Lin Yi will play for us.”
At this time, the frontline troops of the third battalion were almost catching up with the enemy troops. Although the frontline troops were moving slowly, the two companies that could not hold up the enemy were even slower. Especially since our own reconnaissance personnel were still harassing them from time to time, causing their speed to slow down.
Slower.
At this time, Lin Yi was scratching his head, because through drone reconnaissance, he did not find any trap set by the enemy, but he was certain that the enemy must have set a trap.
This is so frustrating. If the root problem cannot be found, it is impossible to solve the problem, so Lin Yi looked at the first company commander: "Have you learned the skills of your scouts well? Why can't you detect anything?
"
If someone else had said this, the company commander would have exploded. But when Lin Yi said this, he was also scratching his head: "It should be no problem. Our reconnaissance company has won a lot of awards. In terms of strength,
It should be no problem."
At this time, the second company commander asked in a low voice: "Deputy battalion commander, is there a possibility that the enemy has not set a trap at all? According to my idea, if there is a date or not, we should shoot three shots first. Anyway, there are so many of us.
Suffer a loss."
The third company commander heard the words of the second company commander and nodded in agreement: "Deputy battalion commander, I also think what the second company commander said is reasonable. We have studied it all the way. Whether it is artillery bombardment or water attack, we have studied various situations.
I’ve tried it all, but it’s impossible to complete it.”
That's why Lin Yi is so confused. He is under a lot of pressure now, with the battalion commander behind him urging him all the time, and there is a large fog ahead that makes it difficult to see clearly. He really needs time to analyze the current situation, but what he lacks most now is
Instead, it is time.
At this time, the battalion commander's urging order came again. Lin Yi had no choice but to look at the second company commander: "The combat effectiveness of the second company is second only to the first company. Since you proposed the idea of probing the attack first, then I order,
The second company is the main attack company, attacking the enemy's right wing, and the first company cooperates with the reinforcements; the third and fourth companies, you keep an eye on the enemy on the left, and if they support the right wing, you attack and encircle them; if they do not support, you stand still."
The second company commander was quite envious of the performance of the first company. The first company had actually eliminated an organic company. This achievement was undoubtedly great. Of course, he was not to be left behind. If he had the opportunity to take the initiative, he would naturally cherish it very much, so he immediately accepted the order:
"Yes, I will lead the second company to attack."
The commander of the first company was naturally a little unhappy when he heard that the second company was the main attack company. After all, the combat effectiveness of the first company was obvious, so it was best for him to be the main attack company.
Of course, he did not dare to say this, because Lin Yi helped him so much. Without his guidance, he would not have been able to eliminate an enemy's organic company.
Lin Yi saw the first company commander in a daze and patted him on the shoulder: "Captain He, why are you dazed? Aren't you happy that I asked you to call for reinforcements?"
Only then did the first company commander react and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, you are the commander, and we must obey whatever you say unconditionally."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "If you are not happy, you are not happy. There is nothing to hide. The reason why I asked your company to provide reinforcements is because your troops are more mobile and can provide support faster, and the second company itself is heavily equipped.
Troops, they are suitable for the main attack. This arrangement has nothing to do with the combat effectiveness of the troops, but only with the attributes of the troops.
By the way, I have one more thing to tell you, you must listen carefully."
When the first company commander saw Lin Yi suddenly becoming serious, he realized that this was a big deal. He had seen Lin Yi's calmness in fighting, and if he could make him become serious, this would not be a small matter.
So he immediately listened carefully: "Deputy battalion commander, please tell me if you have anything. Our reconnaissance company will go all out."
Lin Yi possessed himself and whispered in the ear of the second company commander: "If the second company suffers an irreversible combat disadvantage, your first company must retreat quickly."
As soon as these words came out, the first company commander was stunned. What did the deputy battalion commander mean? To survive with a broken arm?
But don’t we have a huge advantage? Why would the deputy battalion commander say such a thing?
Besides, the second company is a proper heavy-armed company, and the commander of the second company is still your confidant, so you treat him like this? If word of this got out, it would be very chilling!
Lin Yi didn't care about the surprised look in the first company commander's eyes, and just said seriously: "This is an order, you must carry it out. I don't want you to bear the consequences of disobeying orders on the battlefield, so I will tell you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared."
The first company commander could not see through Lin Yi more and more now. He was obviously so kind to others, why would he say such a thing, but he was absolutely impossible to touch the disobedience on the battlefield, so he could only respond feebly: "Yes.
