Chapter 67: Reclaiming First Place In The Regiment
Perhaps considering taking care of Chen Jun’s feelings, plus the First Platoon is the platoon personally responsible for and led by Chen Jun, which from the side means it is the most suitable platoon to serve as the pilot.
In other words.
Whether the set of theory and combat thinking proposed by Chen Jun is feasible in the Steel Seventh Company depends entirely on the performance of the First Platoon a few months later.
If the First Platoon’s performance is outstanding, then advance it to the entire company.
If the First Platoon’s performance is lackluster, then consider the feasibility of Chen Jun’s theory.
It can advance or retreat, very insured.
So Gao Cheng’s arrangement for the First Platoon almost copied Chen Jun’s arrangement exactly, except changing the name of the Second Squad from reserve squad to maneuver squad.
It needs to support the combat of the First Squad and Third Squad at any time, and may even need to support the Second Platoon and Third Platoon.
It indeed fits the term maneuver better.
After hearing Gao Cheng’s final decision, seeing that the combined arms company concept couldn’t be fully achieved, Chen Jun felt a little bit disappointed inside.
If Gao Cheng had fully adopted his ideas, it would save a lot of trouble later.
Before the martial arts competition, let each squad adapt to the new configuration, and after the martial arts competition is completed, they can make sweeping changes and fully advance the Steel Seventh Company’s transformation into a combined arms company.
Now it’s only half-changed, neither fish nor fowl, and unable to carry out combined arms company training.
From the training perspective, changing half is equal to not changing.
But thinking that there are still nearly half a year until the grand competition, with enough space in between as a buffer, after the grand competition they can still have a private talk with Gao Cheng.
Plus now they need to go all out to prepare for the grand competition, no time to do combined arms company training.
Most importantly, the core reconnaissance squad, the multifunctional logistics support squad, and the retention of the maneuver squad, all in the First Platoon he is responsible for.
The three most important squads can be drilled in advance, which barely satisfied Chen Jun.
Under the premise of suddenly proposing this brand-new concept, Gao Cheng still supported him so strongly, which made Chen Jun feel very warm inside.
It also further strengthened his determination to stay with the Steel Seventh Company and lead the Steel Seventh Company to a new world.
No one stood up to strongly oppose, Gao Cheng’s plan became the final plan, and after the meeting ended, the entire company began transforming according to the plan.
After three days, the brand-new Steel Seventh Company was born.
Each squad had new missions and new equipment, needing a lot of training to adapt and master, with various training subjects imminent.
Just as Gao Cheng formulated the training plan and was about to start intensive drills.
Chen Jun privately found Gao Cheng and, for the mid-year grand competition four months later, to achieve better results, proposed forming a martial arts special training team like other companies.
He originally thought Gao Cheng wouldn’t agree to the proposal, because he had never done it before.
But to Chen Jun’s surprise, when he told Gao Cheng his idea, Gao Cheng didn’t think much and immediately agreed.
And let Chen Jun take full responsibility.
Even appointed Chen Jun as the captain of the martial arts special training team.
Making all the words Chen Jun had prepared afterward have no chance to be said.
“If I had known it was this easy, I wouldn’t have wasted those brain cells that nearly killed me those few days.”
Chen Jun secretly smiled wryly, but from the information revealed in Gao Cheng’s subsequent words, he understood why Gao Cheng had changed so much.
Actually, there was only one reason.
That was last year’s mid-year grand competition mishap, where the Red Third Company, which he considered much worse than the Seventh Company, rubbed them hard on the ground.
This became almost the greatest shame in the arrogant Gao Cheng’s life.
To wash away the shame and regain dignity, Gao Cheng had long secretly sworn through gritted teeth that this year’s mid-year grand competition must bring back first place.
No matter what method used.
Chen Jun proposing the martial arts special training team at this time was just right in Gao Cheng’s arms, he was too happy to refuse.
“By the calculation, within this month, the martial arts competition projects should come out, then the entire company holds a martial arts selection, also fully under your responsibility, whoever you need then you decide, I just want the final result.”
Gao Cheng had absolute confidence in Chen Jun, placing the heavy responsibility of the martial arts competition in Chen Jun’s hands.
“Received, company commander, guarantee to complete the mission.”
Being valued so much by the company commander, Chen Jun happily patted his chest in guarantee.
“Just completing the mission isn’t enough, first place, I want you to take back the whole regiment’s first place, nothing else, just say if you can do it.” Gao Cheng said seriously.
“That must be first place, if I can’t get first, I’ll directly submit my retirement report.” Chen Jun also went all in.
“Haha.”
Gao Cheng grinned and laughed, patting Chen Jun’s arm and said: “No need for the retirement report, what I want is this spirit, energy, and mind, since you have this confidence, then I believe you can do it.”
Chen Jun didn’t speak anymore and also laughed.
Because he indeed had enough confidence!
…
During the waiting period for the grand competition notification, the Seventh Company began normal drill training.
The squad and platoon establishments had all changed, and there were no specific lesson plans from above, how to use the new equipment all relied on the company to figure out themselves.
The squad leaders and platoon leaders of each squad and platoon led the training, basically exploring while training.
Places that felt wrong were corrected, training that felt very effective was kept, finding the most suitable path in constant training.
The First Platoon Chen Jun was responsible for was more special, with the squad structure completely changed.
The squad leaders of each squad were quite troubled, not knowing at all what to train next or what the meaning of their own squad’s existence was.
In order for the First Platoon to adapt to combined arms tactics and play the role the three squads should have.
Chen Jun specially spent a full week, specially writing two highly professional training syllabi based on the qualities demanded by combined arms tactics.
One was the logistics support squad’s training syllabus, with all the needed training subjects arranged.
Subjects previously taught in the Steel Seventh Company or easy to learn, such as battlefield first aid, combat vehicle maintenance, hygiene protection, etc., were placed at the front of the training syllabus.
Although the warriors were already familiar with these subjects, they had never learned them before as a squad unit with the goal of serving the entire company.
With different service objects and mission goals, the same skills also needed corresponding adjustments, even improvements to adapt better.
Subjects not previously taught in the Steel Seventh Company or hard to learn were all scheduled after the grand competition.
By then Chen Jun could free up his hands, personally teaching the First Squad’s warriors hand-to-hand, making them qualified logistics support personnel.
The other was the special reconnaissance company’s training syllabus, covering all skills needed for reconnaissance.
It was actually Chen Jun compiling all the professional skills for cultivating special forces soldiers, except counter-terrorism and riot control, such as CQB and the like, all into the syllabus.
