Xie Dong was a little distracted.
In the tiny conference room of the company headquarters, he had already smoked his third cigarette after not smoking for a long time.
After putting out the third cigarette, he pulled out the fourth one from the cigarette case, and just picked up the lighter, but after thinking about it, he still held back and stuffed the cigarette back into the case.
After all, as the leader of a company, he has to set an example.
The opposite instructor, Xu Huan, saw him like that and couldn't help but open his mouth to advise, "Look at this, ideological work is something I'm in charge of, I'm not annoyed yet, you're annoyed first."
Xie Dong irritably scratched his head, quite resentful, said: "Change also wait for next year, after the new recruits under the company, such as personnel stabilization and then change, now announced the need to reorganize, the news has spread throughout the battalion, veterans can not have emotions in their hearts? The new recruits know that they will be reorganized, and in the future they will not know which unit they will be assigned to, so will they still be willing to put in the effort to train hard?"
Xu Huan understood that Xie Dong was telling the truth.
There is no impermeable wall under the sky, last night's meeting, today everywhere is talking about it.
In fact, regarding this matter of reorganization, there had long been winds of revelations up and down the E Division, and it had long since been no secret.
Just everyone is not willing to believe that the reorganization is from the beginning of this year, other military regions have begun to change, many divisions in the reorganization of the brigade establishment, because of the two kinds of establishment specifications are different, the composition of the different, so the reorganization will involve a great deal of personnel changes, some divisions and even change the whole division are split up, this regiment to that brigade, the regiment to this brigade, or even transferred to other large areas and other unfamiliar troops Merger, some also directly changed into a marine brigade ...
In Xu Huan's opinion, military reform is a matter of time and a general trend.
The world is changing, science and technology is developing, geopolitics is changing, the new era has a new situation, the requirements for the national armed forces also put forward new requirements.
Once upon a time, the slogan was "winning local wars under high-tech conditions", which in plain words was to guard a three-quarter of an acre of land in front of the door, and to take a defensive position.
However, with China's economic development, increased overseas investment, the proportion of overseas interests is getting larger and larger, economic and political needs, with the pace of development of the PLA's science and technology, the old-fashioned military structure and establishment can no longer adapt to the new situation of high-tech, high synthetic composite war.
The goal of the latest century of military building is to "develop military forces with the capacity to defend national sovereignty against the security threat posed by hegemony in the Western Pacific and to protect overseas development interests."
The new requirements involved here include rapid assembly capability, long-range projection capability, logistical support capability, scientific and technological armament capability, and so on.
Change, must change!
If you don't change, it's a dead end!
This reform is to enhance the army's ability to resist strikes and improve its survivability under fire. Collaborative combat capability. The ability to execute independently.
The former combat division establishment is no longer adapted to modern warfare. Although the division level can fight independently, the internal synergies, multiple formations, and departments lead to inflexibility, and the division formations have large targets that can be easily detected, and because they are not flattened, the chain of command can be easily interrupted leading to paralysis. Among other things, divisional artillery, engineering, and logistics units are too centralized and easily prioritized for strikes.
Once disabled, the entire division's fire support suffered serious injuries, with can not be used, thrown and can not afford to reintegrate well ... difficult and long time.
The brigades are working together, and the internal battalions are accomplishing their tasks independently. The equipment and firepower are sent down and have a strong resistance to strikes. Command or a single battalion unit suffered a blow, the whole brigade is not easy to lose combat effectiveness.
This is the difference between a lion and a hyena. Lions can fight independently, hyenas have to work as a team. A lion is incapacitated by injury and is afraid to attack large prey, and the consequence of being attacked is to withdraw from the battlefield, whereas a hyena can afford to take losses and is more proactive.
Again, similar to the difference between battleships and cruisers in naval history. Battleships are expensive, bulky, slow, and can't be used for fear of loss. Cruisers are light, fast and cheap, can react quickly, flexible and versatile, more suitable for mixing.
There is also the logistical supply. The division's logistical pressure is great, the brigade is much smaller and more focused on mobility and lightweight. Fuel, ammo, and food resupply is much less stressful. In the event of a logistical shortage due to sabotage, the brigade can centralize supplies to the composite battalion.
Finally, compared to the huge formation of divisional units, brigade combat units can be quickly mobilized, quickly deployed, easier to quickly combine with other types of troops to achieve the purpose of joint operations, modularity ability is strong.
Half a year before that, there were already rumors that the E Division was about to be reorganized.
Although everyone heard the rumors, they were emotionally reluctant to give up their old units and split them up, so they treated them as if they hadn't heard them.
Now there has been an order down, today the division held a meeting above the head of the regiment, announced the order, asked each regiment to go back to count the personnel and equipment, will report the data, and make appropriate preparations for the future to meet the change of brigade work.
When it all came down to eucalyptus, every officer and soldier in E Division had to face the facts.
Difficult.
Difficult where?
Xie Dong tapped the table: "Since we have to change, early change ah! This year's non-commissioned officer to stay in the team quota are reported up, you like a squad leader Wu Yi, have gone to the instructional team to participate in the non-commissioned officer training, I also talked to him, explained the situation, people are waiting for next year's renewal, and now well, said that all non-commissioned officer to renew the matter is suspended, that is what it means? I went to tell Wu Yi that the previous training and what I said to you do not count, wait for the notice? Isn't this a joke? I'm not even a company commander anymore!"
Xu Huan said, "Why are you so excited? We are soldiers, and it is our duty to obey orders. Is Wu Yi not a soldier? Revolutionary soldiers are bricks, wherever needed where to move, this kind of ideological awareness are not, but also as a soldier?"
Xie Dong felt by a ball of fire rolling in his chest, wanting to spit, but thinking about what instructor Xu Huan said was also right.
Only in principle there is no problem, does not mean that the reality of the operation is not difficult.
People have emotions, soldiers also have, especially between comrades.
Xie Dong did not speak, after a long time, Xu Huan sighed and said, "If the reorganization involves the issue of the personal future of the veterans, I will do the ideological work, you do not make it difficult."
Xie Dong listened, thought for a moment, looked up at Xu Huan across the table and said, "Old Xu, what do you mean by that? We're both company partners, and you're the one who has to deal with all the hard stuff? That doesn't make sense! Besides, you haven't been transferred here for a long time, you're not familiar with the situation, and you're not as familiar with the veterans as I am, so it's better for me to take care of the things that offend people."
Xu Huan smiled.
He appreciated Xie Dong.
In the two years since he transferred here, he and Xie Dong had worked well with each other without any red faces.
It was said that the company chief officer partner was like a husband and wife, one in charge of the inside and one outside, one in charge of the military and one in charge of the ideological work.
However, Xie Dong has always taken the initiative to take on difficult tasks.
In this regard, one was grateful to Xie Dong.
"Company Commander, reorganization is not necessarily a bad thing." Xu Huan said, "We used to be a motorized division, but this reorganization, I heard that a lot of former motorized infantry divisions jumped into a synthetic brigade, and some into mechanized brigades, one of my comrades in the X military region, was also a motorized division, they reorganized in the first year, and changed into an air assault brigade, and rode the helicopters in and out every day, and it was so powerful!"
Xie Dong sighed, why did he ever not like the reorganization?
To be honest, the name Mong Tiger Regiment sounded loud.
However, everyone in the G Military Region knows that the E Division is only a B Division, although the equipment has been strengthened over the years, but a B Division is a B Division, the same A Group Army, other brother units are mechanized divisions, their own title of the MoBu has not yet been removed.
Reorganization, perhaps also can fish leap dragon door.
This aspect is worth looking forward to.
He stood up and walked slowly to the window, which looked out into the distance to the integrated training ground, now just in time for the afternoon drill, each squad and platoon led their own team toward the training ground, loud formation songs floating in the air-
"I am a soldier, from the common people, the revolutionary war has tested my position more firmly, hey hey, the gun barrel grip tight, eyes see clearly, the enemy dares to violate, resolutely eliminate it net!"
