Chapter 331: Target: Crush “zhu Rihe”!
What matters above the Combined Arms Battalion are, Chen Deming naturally knows better than anyone.
Either Combined Arms Brigade or Combined Arms Regiment.
Military Reform is currently centered on Division to Brigade Reform, Zhu Rihe Base’s model is the battalion-brigade two-level system, Steel Seventh Battalion follows the army policy, heading upward along the Combined Arms Brigade route, Chen Deming thinks the probability is very high.
However, Division to Brigade Reform is currently in the pilot stage and has not been fully popularized to the grassroots.
The troops where Steel Seventh Battalion is located are still under the division-regiment-battalion three-level system, so at this stage, expanding and upgrading Steel Seventh Battalion would likely follow the overall troop structure.
Even if Combined Arms Brigade is the future trend, it might first go the Combined Arms Regiment route.
However, whether Combined Arms Brigade or Combined Arms Regiment, since Chen Jun can lead the army’s number one Steel Seventh Battalion, he might be able to lead an excellent Combined Arms Regiment or Brigade.
Chen Deming personally leans toward Combined Arms Brigade!
If Chen Jun can lead a Combined Arms Brigade that counters Zhu Rihe’s First Blue Army Brigade, that scene makes Chen Deming infinitely anticipatory just thinking about it.
At the level of leaders like Chen Deming, leading a Combined Arms Brigade himself wouldn’t add much value to him, it couldn’t help him rise another level.
But a Combined Arms Brigade led by him, if stronger than Zhu Rihe’s Blue Army Brigade, the resulting fame, prestige, and other added values would mean a lot to Chen Deming.
The closer to the top of the pyramid, the more they care about these things related to face.
Chen Jun has studied psychology and spent several lifetimes in the troops, so he understands troop leaders very thoroughly.
He knows exactly what kind of Combined Arms Regiment plan to propose to make leader Chen Deming appreciate it even more.
Therefore, when introducing the Combined Arms Regiment plan, he made several targeted modifications based on the original plan specifically for Chen Deming.
First, he talked about Steel Seventh Battalion’s current development advantages and what bottlenecks and limitations it has encountered.
Then he introduced that to solve these limitations, further upgrades and transformations are needed in which aspects, pointing out that battalion-level establishment fundamentally cannot satisfy them.
Finally, he detailed to Chen Deming Chen Jun’s various ideas and designs for the Combined Arms Regiment.
This mode starts from the most basic demands as the starting point, progresses step by step forward, and finally naturally leads to the Combined Arms Regiment.
Not only does it sound very comfortable, but there is also no flaw in logic.
Because there is demand.
So Combined Arms Regiment is needed.
And the reason Chen Jun proposes Combined Arms Regiment, not the Combined Arms Brigade that Zhu Rihe already has, is to use Seventh Hundred and Second Regiment as the foundation.
Regiment reform in the regiment way is not that complicated, the ready-made regiment-level establishment is there, no need to reapply, able to form combat effectiveness in a faster time.
Secondly, Seventh Hundred and Second Regiment is his old unit, Chen Jun naturally wants to help if he can.
If the Combined Arms Regiment plan can really be implemented, now the Steel Seventh Battalion headquarters people would naturally upgrade to regiment-level cadres.
As T Division’s perennial old regiment commander Comrade Wang Qing Rui, he would definitely smoothly move to the division headquarters.
He wouldn’t even be able to stay, needs to vacate the position.
And with the great achievement of leading a Combined Arms Regiment, Wang Qing Rui’s position in the division would be remarkable, at least starting as a real-power deputy division commander.
Wang Qing Rui is an old cadre whom Chen Jun greatly admired in the original drama.
He felt regret for his situation.
In the original drama, as soon as the army plot began, Wang Qing Rui was already the regiment commander of Seventh Hundred and Second Regiment.
Later, Xu Sanduo had already transferred to non-commissioned officer, Gao Cheng transferred to division direct reconnaissance battalion as deputy battalion commander, until the TV series completely ended.
The time span in between exceeded five years, almost everyone was progressing upward.
Only Wang Qing Rui remained the old regiment commander.
Someone who diligently worked hard at the regiment commander position, striving to develop Seventh Hundred and Second well, but because of his straightforward personality that easily offends people, became a perennial old regiment commander, which is truly regrettable.
If in this life Chen Jun can change the life of this Seventh Hundred and Second Regiment veteran through his own way, then Chen Jun basically has no more regrets.
The remaining time has only one thing—leading Steel Seventh Company all the way forward.
……
After Chen Jun was reborn into this world, along the way he wrote countless plans and theories, his writing skills already honed very strongly.
Plus, targeting Chen Deming’s personal character, he specially added some special elements.
After Chen Deming listened to Chen Jun’s plan, his originally ordinary eyes suddenly lit up, his face flushed red with excitement.
Chen Jun’s Combined Arms Regiment structure is simply too perfect, at least in Chen Deming’s view it is perfect.
He didn’t even dare imagine how strong the combat effectiveness of the Combined Arms Regiment built with Chen Jun’s plan would be, Zhu Rihe Blue Army Brigade probably wouldn’t be enough.
Thinking that if he leads the preparation and ultimately builds a unit that responds to the Central Military Commission’s call, with combat effectiveness crushing Zhu Rihe First Blue Army Brigade, hard power leaping to the army’s strongest informatized digitalized troops.
Chen Deming, immersed in the military for decades, his calm as stone state of mind couldn’t help but ripple, his eyes showing rare fervor.
At the level of leaders like Chen Deming, climbing further up can only rely on team alignment and prestige in the military.
Leading the creation of the army’s strongest informatized troops fits perfectly on the hottest track of the new era, Chen Deming’s prestige in the military would definitely surge greatly.
Under this premise of huge help to himself, plus liking Chen Jun more and more.
Chen Deming quickly made the decision.
Without any concerns or worries, or thinking execution has certain difficulty, deliberately playing Tai Chi with Chen Jun, saying he needs time to consider or something.
Instead, he chose the most direct face-to-face, looking seriously into Chen Jun’s eyes and asked: “I only ask you one question, if I let you take charge of preparing and forming the Combined Arms Regiment, do you have enough confidence to do it?”
“Leader, I dare to guarantee with my future, if I don’t achieve it, even if I don’t do the job well, I’ll take off my military uniform and get out myself.”
Chen Jun’s words were weighty as gold, his attitude resolute and decisive.
If an ordinary person guaranteed with their future, Chen Deming really wouldn’t care.
But Chen Jun is different.
Promoted to lieutenant colonel rank at 25, became a regiment-level deputy battalion commander, bearing multiple first, second, and third-class merits, future path smooth.
As long as no major principled errors, future definitely can become a military region-level leader.
For such a monstrous talent potential person, issuing a military order with his own future, the weight is very heavy, enough to make Chen Deming view him differently.
“Good, I like your confidence.”
Chen Deming’s tense face melted like snow, raising his eyebrows with a smile and asked again: “Personnel and equipment all in place, how long to form combat effectiveness? Is two years enough?”
Chen Jun smiled and shook his head.
“What? Two years not enough, also right, forming combat effectiveness for a regiment isn’t an overnight thing.”
Chen Deming’s smile faded, flashing some regret and helplessness.
But then his eyes turned one hundred and eighty degrees sharply, shooting out a competitive light uncommon in a sixty-year-old, said in a resolute tone: “But now the situation is special, since we’re doing Combined Arms Regiment, we must beat Zhu Rihe to it, form preliminary combat effectiveness earlier than its Combined Arms Brigade.
If not doing it, do it then do it to the best, that’s my idea, also my expectation of you, even more my strict requirement of you.”
Saying that.
Chen Deming held up three fingers: “Three years, I’ll give you at most three years, that’s the final bottom line, exceed it and I’ll hold you accountable.”
“Worthily the war zone leader, message acquisition far beyond us.”
Chen Jun secretly marveled.
Because in Chen Jun’s memory from two lifetimes ago, Zhu Rihe Base was officially fully opened to the outside in August
That means from this time, at most push forward half a year or so.
That is, from early 2003 to August, Zhu Rihe’s First Blue Army Brigade completed full assessment, possessing preliminary brigade-level combat capability.
Before Blue Army Brigade formed combat effectiveness, Zhu Rihe couldn’t fully open to the outside.
Since opened, it means it can fight.
The three-year deadline given by Chen Deming, pushing from now late 1999, exactly to the end of
Equals just ahead of Combined Arms Brigade by one or two months, completing formation of combat effectiveness for battalion and above combined arms units.
No first in literature, no second in martial.
The value attached to being the first to form combat effectiveness far surpasses the second, first always has absolute status in the troops.
Chen Deming can precisely pinpoint Zhu Rihe, proves he already has Zhu Rihe information.
Just this channel and message ability.
Enough to call it awesome.
With such a badass person leading, Chen Jun has no more concerns, suddenly more confident in forming the Combined Arms Regiment.
Gazing straight into Chen Deming’s eyes, corners of mouth slightly raised with absolute confidence said: “Leader, my shaking head doesn’t mean two years isn’t enough, my meaning is, I don’t need two years at all.”
“Ah? Ah??”
Chen Deming was stunned for a moment.
Not that Chen Deming at over sixty has slowed thinking, it’s really Chen Jun’s words too heaven-defying.
Forming a conventional heavy armored regiment, training to combat effectiveness at least takes two or three years.
The larger the scale of a unit, the more troops under command, besides basic training of each unit, companies need mutual coordination and integration.
Not only companies with companies need integration, battalions with battalions also need integration.
Various integration coordination work differs from basic training.
This requires piling up with massive training, hard grinding with time to achieve, skills can increase integration speed but can’t change its essence.
Besides continuously integrating combat effectiveness through time, no quick shortcuts.
Conventional heavy armored regiments are like this, let alone multi-branch integrated, more complex coordination training, more variable tactics Combined Arms Regiment.
According to conventional logic.
Combined Arms Regiment’s overall training would only be more complex, needing more time for integration.
But things completely changed with Chen Jun, harder things yet need even shorter time, how could it not make Chen Deming’s brain short-circuit.
Chen Deming, stunned for a full few seconds, came back and cautiously confirmed: “You’re serious? I don’t like joking at this time.”
“Leader, how dare I joke with you.”
Chen Jun’s expression very serious, solemnly guaranteed again: “I don’t need two years, give me one and a half years is enough.”
Proactively shortening time not to show off.
But with sufficient reasons.
One and a half years later is early 2001, Chen Jun already very experienced in leading troops, time completely sufficient for him.
And according to the plan Chen Jun envisions in his mind, by then roughly develop first-generation small drone.
Once small drones equipped to Combined Arms Regiment, plus Chen Jun’s head full of various small drone tactics, and “recon-control-strike-assess” integrated tactical system.
Forming preliminary combat effectiveness simply easy.
“Good good good, as expected heroes come from youth.”
Chen Deming kept staring at Chen Jun’s eyes, what he saw in Chen Jun’s eyes was all confidence, not a bit of arrogance.
Not knowing if due to Chen Jun’s confidence or following inner intuition.
Chen Deming made his decision, decisively approved and said: “Good, just as you say, I’ll give you one and a half years, hope you don’t disappoint my expectation, even more don’t disappoint war zone’s trust in you.
Leave this plan here, I’ll hold a meeting discussion in the military region in shortest time, quickly confirm the Combined Arms Regiment project.
You go back and wait for news with peace of mind, always prepare to cooperate with my work.”
Chen Deming already made the final promise, Chen Jun also believes with his war zone deputy commander level, doing a Combined Arms Regiment is no issue.
So happily stood up, saluted crisply, replied forcefully: “Thank leader for trust, I’ve waited for this day a long time.”
“I believe you can do it.”
Chen Deming patted Chen Jun’s shoulder, as encouragement to Chen Jun, then smiling said: “Not early, go back and rest.”
“Yes, leader.”
Chen Jun saluted again, mood infinitely excited.
From Combined Arms Battalion to Combined Arms Regiment is a big step, as long as this step crossed, final Combined Arms Division almost water to channel.
So Chen Jun always had a lot of pressure, worried this step would be very hard.
Didn’t expect things much simpler than imagined.
Just in time for an entire army confrontation exercise, luckily met Chen Deming in war zone, and smoothly persuaded Chen Deming to lead.
The whole process smooth as flowing clouds, so smooth Chen Jun feels like dreaming.
Matters finally done, how could Chen Jun not be excited.
On the way out from Chen Deming’s office, Chen Jun’s heart still beating fast thump thump thump, feeling everything smooth like a dream.
“Most critical Combined Arms Regiment application, with war zone’s Chen Deming responsible for leading, formal preparation order coming down probably needs some time, I really can utilize it to do a few big things.”
Chen Jun returned to dormitory, lay on bed, excited mood slightly calmed.
One by one things related to Combined Arms Regiment formation that must be completed ASAP gradually surfaced in mind, couldn’t help starting to plan.
