Chapter 20: The Perfect “combined Arms Battalion” Embryo
“Alright, alright, stop looking, everyone get off the vehicle, line up on the right side of the carriage.”
Taking advantage of Gao Cheng being busy scolding the tank soldier, Third Company Political Instructor He Hongtao, as the troop reception cadre, quickly stepped in to command the troops to disembark.
He also gave Xu Sanduo a push, urging him to hurry off and line up, which helped him out of the awkward situation.
He Hongtao was also a warm-hearted person!
“As expected of the son of the plane, there’s always someone to help wherever he goes.”
He Hongtao’s little action was seen by Chen Jun, who secretly teased in his heart, then thought: “Fortunately, his growth is pretty good, worthy of the title Soldier King, and it doesn’t disgrace his good popularity.”
After Gao Cheng finished scolding the tank soldier and turned back, he found Xu Sanduo was already gone, with new recruits continuously disembarking to line up, so he couldn’t call Xu Sanduo back over.
But the fire in his heart hadn’t died down yet, so he could only grab Shi Jin and reprimand: “Third Squad Leader, what did I say before departure? Is this the good soldier seedling you found for me?”
“Heh heh, Company Commander, he was just scared, he’s usually pretty good, really.” Shi Jin said with an accompanying smile.
“Scared? I think he’s just a soft egg.”
Gao Cheng cursed unhappily, but temporarily believed Shi Jin, and continued with the work arrangement: “You don’t need to report back to Seventh Company later, come with me to the new recruit camp, you have to lead a new recruit squad for me.”
Then he turned to Chen Jun and said: “This is Chen Jun from your squad, this time in new training he’ll be Platoon Leader, I’ll arrange for you to be together then.”
“Got it, following Company Commander’s arrangement.”
Shi Jin happily accepted the mission, then smiled at Chen Jun and said: “Before you called me Squad Leader, now it seems I have to call you Platoon Leader Chen, haha.”
“People all make progress.”
Chen Jun smiled and extended his right hand: “I hope during the new recruit training period, we can cooperate tacitly and successfully complete the tasks assigned by superiors.”
“That’s a must.”
Shi Jin shook Chen Jun’s hand, his expression very sincere, without any displeasure.
Generally, when facing such a change in status, it’s like a former little brother becoming one’s own boss, there would inevitably be some discomfort in the heart.
But Shi Jin transitioned very smoothly, without any discomfort in between.
With such a mentality, only the good-natured Shi Jin.
“You haven’t been in the company for a while, you don’t know many things, Chen Jun’s changes now are huge, so big it exceeds your imagination.”
Gao Cheng started boasting for Chen Jun, deliberately elevating Chen Jun’s status.
“Oh? Really?”
There was obvious doubt and curiosity in Shi Jin’s eyes, no emotional change didn’t mean no judgment.
In his impression, Chen Jun was poor in all aspects, even though he thought of many methods to help, the final effects were all very limited.
It had only been a little over a month since he left, and Chen Jun’s changes actually earned praise from Gao Cheng.
How could this not make Shi Jin puzzled!
“True or fake, you’ll know when the time comes, now first organize the new recruits, the vehicle is outside, take them to the new recruit camp later.”
Gao Cheng stopped there, then shouted loudly to the new recruits who were disembarking: “I’m Gao Cheng, serving as Company Commander of the new recruit company, welcome everyone to the 702 Armored Infantry Regiment.”
Gao Cheng had originally prepared a speech, but now he really wasn’t in the mood to say it.
He simply said a couple of sentences to go through the motions, then instructed Chen Jun: “You stay here and wait to count the numbers, no problem then take them to board the vehicle.”
“Yes, Company Commander.”
Chen Jun responded promptly.
“Third Squad Leader, come with me.”
After Gao Cheng finished speaking, he turned and walked toward the outside of the platform, Shi Jin had made a mistake by bringing an unqualified soldier, feeling very guilty now, he trotted after and asked: “Company Commander, whatever work there is, just assign it to me.”
“There’s jack shit arrangement.”
Gao Cheng grumbled irritably, then glanced at the armored vehicles on the flatbed train carriage on the right and said: “These are all for our 702 Regiment, once these are unloaded, your 207 will be sent away then.
Wu Liu Yi has already gone over early, do you want to go send it off together?”
“Yes! Of course!” Shi Jin nodded hurriedly.
“Then go, over there.” Gao Cheng clasped his hands behind his back, chin jutting forward.
Shi Jin was a man with very rich emotions, his partner that had accompanied him for over ten years was leaving, the reluctance in his heart was even greater than Wu Liu Yi’s.
Following the direction Gao Cheng pointed, he saw 207, and immediately ran over with big strides.
“You’re here, Squad Leader, just waiting for you.”
Wu Liu Yi tossed a towel over, Shi Jin caught it, climbed onto the vehicle and started wiping, the tacit understanding between the two didn’t need even one more word.
Then the two wiped the vehicle while chatting idly.
“Squad Leader, now our Seventh Company is awesome, before we only had armored transport vehicles, now the new equipment includes infantry fighting vehicles, seems like called Type
This vehicle is awesome, with it, it’s like we’ve added an artillery company, anti-tank missile company, plus heavy firepower company, enemy rear reconnaissance plus firepower strikes all in one, combat effectiveness absolutely the strongest in the regiment.”
Wu Liu Yi got more and more excited as he spoke, not forgetting to look toward the distant Gao Cheng: “Company Commander’s spirit now is super charged, walks like he’s bouncing high.”
Steel Seventh Company, as an armored reconnaissance company, its main mission was originally frontline and enemy rear reconnaissance.
Now with the Type 86 tracked infantry fighting vehicle, the situation underwent earth-shaking changes.
Equipped with 30mm automatic cannon, Hongjian-73 anti-tank missile, smoke grenade launcher, Type 86 62mm machine gun infantry fighting vehicle.
It’s a mobile heavy firepower depot!
Paired with individual soldier equipped Vanguard portable missiles, forming precision strikes against air units.
Air-to-air missiles to hit airplanes, anti-tank missiles for assault, automatic cannons for heavy firepower, and scouts for frontline reconnaissance…
If all these are upgraded to company establishment, it’s solidly the flavor of a combined arms battalion.
But now the army is still in reform, various tactics are being explored, including combined arms operations, all still in the budding stage.
Formal systematic combined arms battalion tactics wouldn’t be included in the troops’ new outline until
So people of this era fundamentally have no concept of combined arms battalion.
For example, Wu Liu Yi just simply thought it was awesome.
Fortunately, Chen Jun wasn’t a person of this era, on the first day he transmigrated he dared to boast about turning Steel Seventh Company into a combined arms division, having some basis and confidence.
Not just talking big and setting empty flags.
Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle and new equipment like Vanguard-1, plus Steel Seventh Company’s own strong foundation and strength, made it possible for Steel Seventh Company to form composite strikes, that’s the root of Chen Jun’s confidence.
