They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 342: Department Expansion, This Is Really What You Want
The atmosphere at the promotion ceremony was very solemn, and the three senior colonels were awarded new military ranks on the high platform.

The people in the audience were excited.

Those who were promoted to colonel, such as Zhang Jintao, were at the front under the high platform.

As for Chen Ming's promotion to lieutenant colonel and other officers' promotion to major, all the captains were in the open space of the hall to award their new military ranks together.

The scene is spectacular, but also depressing.

The depression does not come from the environment of the ceremonial meeting, but from the new mission brought by the new military rank.

The 704th Division, codenamed Strategic Assault Division, used to just shout slogans and sneer at everyone, "We are a professional blue army. In the future, we will beat you up if we are professional and responsible," and other similar boasting words.

There is no pressure to talk about it, because no one knows whether there will be any changes during the establishment of a division.

Perhaps for some reason, when the 704th Division was expanding, it suddenly disappeared and never mentioned it again.

After all, similar situations are not uncommon in the military. The only constant in Nuo Da's military camp is that it is constantly changing.

A lot of things came about by fumbling.

But things are different now. The new station has taken shape and all work is in full swing.

Even their officers have been promoted, which is no joke.

What I boasted about two years ago is about to come true.

At this moment, they have truly become the exclusive blue army in the Eastern Theater Command, and they have been labeled with blue labels.

Changjiang Zhenjun, Army Chief of Staff of the Eastern Theater Command, stood in front of the high platform, scanning the neatly lined up officers below the platform, and nodded slightly.

Zhen Sheng said: "Comrades, I am very happy, because I just saw the high fighting spirit in your eyes and actions."

"This is what our strategic assault division should be in. Do you know why the code name of the 704th Division is strategic assault division?"

"Why not call him Blue Sergeant?"

"Does anyone know about this?"

When Jiang Zhenjun asked, all the officers in the audience fell silent, including Chen Ming, who did not respond.

The camera is shining. This is the chief's highlight moment, and it's not their turn yet.

Sure enough, seeing no one in the audience respond, Jiang Zhenjun spoke loudly: "Strategic Assault Division, to describe it in a simpler way, is a unit of unconventional warfare, mainly responsible for carrying out raids, infiltration, breaches and other tasks. .”

"The characteristic is that the organization is relatively flexible in peacetime, but it can quickly assemble and launch operations in wartime. It has extremely high combat efficiency and adaptability, and has been adopted by the armies of many countries."

"Since the [-]th century, with the widespread use of aircraft, tanks, self-propelled artillery, and armored vehicles on the battlefield, the military's maneuvering speed and assault capabilities have greatly improved, laying the foundation for large-scale strategic raids."

"During the Second World War, the ideas of preemptive strike, quick victory, and annihilation war, as well as the overall strategic theory, formed the military thought of strategic surprise with blitz warfare as the core."

"Today, with the continuous emergence of various new weapons, the effectiveness of strategic raids has been greatly improved, and it has become a common method used by countries launching wars."

"Our 704th Division, codenamed Strategic Assault Division, is because we are positioned as the enemy."

"We are a ferocious enemy who will not abide by any treaty of equality and will not abide by any military restrictions."

"Maybe there are still many comrades among you who don't understand this, but it doesn't matter, you will become a good doctor."

"A good doctor who trained Red Army troops in surgery."

"I believe you should have heard of some battles in modern history, in which advanced electronic warfare aircraft and precision-guided weapons such as anti-radiation missiles and laser-guided bombs were used to severely damage a command organization and important targets such as airports and ports."

"It has set a precedent for using high-tech weapons to conduct long-distance, large-formation "surgical" air strikes."

"A strategic raid under modern conditions may be a strategic raid under conventional conditions or a strategic raid under nuclear conditions."

"Usually choose holidays, Sundays, nights, dawn and other times when the other party is less alert."

"The targets usually choose strategic targets such as the country's political and economic center, nuclear weapons bases, industrial bases, transportation hubs, military command institutions, military bases, strategic first echelons, and strategic reserves."

"The method is to first carry out a lightning-like, large-scale air attack, accompanied by large-scale electronic interference, to seize control of the air and electromagnetic power in the theater."

"To implement a strategic raid, we must formulate careful plans, make full preparations, and determine its intentions and goals; conduct extensive deception operations and actively carry out diplomatic activities; conduct reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, electronic jamming and counter-jamming; use rapid assault forces and long-range weapons to attack The other side carried out a sudden and violent deep assault."

"With the widespread use of information technology, precision-guided weapons, aerospace weapons, smart weapons, network weapons, etc. continue to emerge. Strategic raids not only come from the air, ground, and sea, but may also come from the deep sea, outer space, and network electromagnetic space."

"The style, scale, space, and means of strategic raids will undergo new evolutions, and we are in line with this evolution and will use all possible means to become the enemy of the Red Army on the battlefield."

"Remember, once the exercise begins, the Red Army troops who come to the Niutoushan garrison base will no longer be our comrades-in-arms, but the real enemies."

"What we have to do is leave the hardest, most difficult challenges to them without feeling embarrassed."

"Because our real enemy must be more ferocious than we pretend to be, and they want us to defeat more. The more we sweat during training, the less we will sacrifice in war."

"For you, this sentence is not just a slogan, but a standard for implementation."

"Understood?"

"clear!!!"

The crowd roared in response, and the words spoken on stage were loud and powerful, and the people in the audience were excited to listen.

Chen Ming stood in the audience and listened blankly. From time to time, he would sigh with emotion. It seems that it is not the idea of ​​soldiers to play tricks on the Blue Army. This is the same strain.

Chief of Staff Jiang was not so straightforward, but he laid out all the means that can be used in combat.

Fuzhou's terrain is already in a relatively sensitive area. If it really develops to the level of a strategic assault, then I am afraid that it will not only be the enemy who will be prevented by war preparations during the holidays.

We must also be on guard against any orders from them to launch a surprise attack.

The ceremony was still going on. Chief of Staff Jiang finished his speech, and Division Commander Wang Junwei came on stage to make a summary, which was nothing more than talking about the future development prospects of the 704th Division.

Encourage the officers present to work together and plan how to defeat the Red Army.

In the final summary, the new brigade commander came on stage. Most of what he talked about were training policies and requirements.

It has been repeatedly emphasized that there is not much time left for the Strategic Assault Division. It is very likely that the Red Army will be arranged to land at any time, and a big war will inevitably occur.

The first exercise operation, whether it is a war zone, a strategic assault division, or the military headquarters, will pay special attention to it.

It doesn’t matter if I’m not nervous.

The predecessor of the 704th Division was only an expansion of the 71th Combined Brigade of the 169st Army. As a mixed combined brigade, it is more inclined to support and supplement the strategic position during combat.

The entire 169th Brigade's previous combat effectiveness was at the bottom of the main combat forces of the entire group army.

How powerful the Eastern Theater is, the army and navy can almost be said to be firmly at the top of the five theaters.

In this case, can the 704th Division be under a lot of pressure?If the strategic assault division ends in defeat in the first combat exercise, the shame will not just be as simple as being thrown into grandma's house.

The end of the ceremony.

In order to welcome the New Year's Day military parade, all units have been arranged to enter the large-scale drill period in advance.

The entire division, including battalion and company combat units, was mobilized in a unified manner to conduct rounds of live-fire tests at the Niutoushan garrison base.

Temper your troops and prepare for battle.

The ceremony is over.

Since military training matters had little to do with Chen Ming, and he was not responsible for it now, he basically didn't listen to the last part.

I have been thinking about the arrangements for the fire department.

When the promoted leader left and all the officers around him had almost finished leaving, Chen Ming moved and prepared to go back.

For a large-scale live-fire exercise, the Firepower Department will probably be busy again. No wonder the division commander said earlier that he would expand manpower. Good guy, if things go like this, there will definitely not be enough people in the Firepower Department.

For large-scale live-fire drills, the local firepower department is responsible for dividing them, and they are responsible for recording and collecting the drill data.

The instructions and reserves of ammunition all need to be handled by the Firepower Department, followed by the construction of a gatehouse, surveying the terrain, making a sand table, and testing the magnetic field.

Just the people from the company in the fire department are simply not enough to support an egg.

He had to go to the division headquarters to recruit people, Chen Ming thought about it. The firepower department was not like a company or battalion combat unit. There were strict regulations on how many people would be fully staffed.

As soon as they didn't make up their mind, the tasks piled up more and more, and he couldn't afford it if progress was delayed.

"What are you thinking about? So entranced?" Zhang Jintao, Director Zhang, who had just been promoted to colonel, raised the corners of his mouth with a satisfied smile, and reached out to poke Chen Ming.

"What do you have to worry about? The director of the 704th Division's Firepower Division, the number one core department of the entire division, is even worse than me, the director. Are you unhappy?"

As he spoke, Zhang Jintao reached out and patted Chen Ming's shoulder, whispering: "Old Chen, to be honest, I have never inquired about your personal affairs before."

"Your year is Geng?"

Hearing this, Chen Ming, who was originally considering going to find the important person in the division, gave him a sidelong glance. "What? Checking the household registration?"

"I'm checking my Huizi household registration because you were promoted to lieutenant colonel at such a young age. I want to compare the difference between us two brothers."

"I joined the army when I was 19, and this is my seventh year." Chen Ming said casually.

"Oh, 26 years old." Director Zhang was promoted to colonel just now, so his legs were a little shaky when he walked, but he suddenly slipped away.

Damn, I can’t afford to offend you
He was promoted to lieutenant colonel at the age of 34, with a gap of eight years. Even so, he was still an outstanding officer among the same batch of officers.

At least it worked out. For many of the comrades and classmates who graduated at the same time, it was a big hurdle to become a captain.

Even so, he had no hope of taking another step forward before the age of 40.

My military career is basically over.

Bibi Chen Ming, his excellence is simply not worth mentioning.

I originally thought that the promotion would be over, so I took Chen Ming to the Tiger and Wolf Camp to find Du Longfei for sex. The three of them were old partners and didn't care about being here, not to mention that Lao Du was among the next batch of promotions.

Now that I know Chen Ming's experience, and then listen to his clattering posture as he walks, I instantly lose my mind.

There was no way, even in the past, his face didn't have much light.

Chen Ming glanced at his old partner and smiled. They had worked together for so long, so no one knew who was who.

Even though this instructor usually didn't take care of things, Chen Ming remembered clearly that when he first went to the 169th Battalion of the [-]th Brigade, this instructor was quite negative.

In other words, at that time, not many people in the entire brigade, or even in the 71st Army, were optimistic about the establishment of the fifth battalion.

This big director is in high spirits.

"Okay, let's get together when we have time. I have a lot of things to do here. I have to go to Master Wang later to talk about expanding my staff." Chen Ming spread his hands helplessly and walked to the door of the auditorium. Ready to say goodbye.

Without waiting for Zhang Jintao to answer.

A captain at the door of the auditorium saw Chen Ming coming out and quickly came up to greet him.

It was Yang Linhui, the clerk of Xu Guoyang, the political commissar of the division. None of the division chiefs came before, and only the political commissar was in charge of the entire Niutoushan garrison base.

Therefore, an experienced officer was arranged to assist in the process, and now the staff is fully staffed.

Yang Linhui has also become the clerk of the entire division, and he is almost always responsible for running errands for all matters. However, he is a civil servant in the agency and does not need to lead troops, so he cannot be called overqualified or overqualified.

If he does a good job, maybe in two years the senior commander above him will see his hard work and be directly transferred to the brigade or battalion to serve as a deputy instructor or something, and he can do quite well.

"Chen Chen, the chief asked me to wait for you here, and said he would take you to the office later."

"wait for me?"

Chen Ming was slightly startled. Isn't this a coincidence? He had planned to go to the chief to ask for someone, but he didn't need to find time.

Zhang Jintao from behind saw that Chen Ming was really busy, so he didn't feel like saying anything else. After saying hello, he turned and left.

After watching the person walk away, Chen Ming turned around and asked, "The chief asked you to wait for me here. Did he tell you anything specific?"

"Don't give me any more tasks. I'm still waiting to find the chief to ask for someone."

"Except for me, all the comrades on duty in the Firepower Department have been dispatched. If we add more tasks, I'm afraid there won't even be any comrades on duty in the future."

Chen Ming told the story with a smile and a casual tone, but what he said was really the truth.

Many things in the Niutoushan Garrison Base are just getting started, and the people in the logistics department and the propaganda department are busy, and their firepower department is even more busy.

The Operations Department took a company borrowed from the reconnaissance battalion directly under the division to survey and map the terrain, and the Information Department was arranged to collect data on new weapons from each combat unit.

The people from the security department followed the engineering troops to build the gatehouse and select the site. It can be said that they made the best use of everything, and the entire fire department was empty.

At the promotion conference just now, Chief of Staff Jiang notified all combat units to start unified live-fire tests in preparation for the New Year's Day military parade.

To be precise, it was to welcome the landing of the Red Army after the New Year's Day military parade.

There is really no one left in his fire department.

"Haha, then I don't know." Yang Linhui responded with a smile. After getting along with him for a few months, he also found that the newly appointed director of the firepower department had no airs.

He is very easy-going in both work and speech. He is a clerk at the division headquarters and often goes to the fire department. The people above him are easy-going and easy to talk to, so his work can be carried out more smoothly.

Therefore, he could say that he knew everything about Chen Ming.

When he arrived at the stairs of the division headquarters, Yang Linhui saw no one around and said with a smile: "Chen Chu, it should be a good thing that the division commander asked you to come over."

"I saw it before the promotion ceremony. Several leaders were studying the room assignment roster and keys."

"Director Chai has gone, I guess I want to allocate a house to you."

Forehead.
Chen Ming was speechless after hearing this sudden gossip.

The housing rights of the troops belong to the Military Headquarters JW, just like the land use rights of the Strategic Assault Division, as well as the ownership of buildings and other attachments, all belong to the above department.

As for the allocation of officers who meet the conditions, it will be done by representatives of the General Logistics Department. Even if it is not possible, they will be assigned to the joint logistics departments at all levels to be responsible for allocating housing.

When it comes to their strategic assault division, it's better, but the head of the division must be responsible for this mess.

It can be seen how urgently their work is carried out at present, and the logistics are directly left to no one.

However, it is not difficult to understand. The real role of the division is after the war begins. At this stage, it only needs to grasp the general direction.

The main planning for leading troops and training troops is still at the brigade headquarters.

The division headquarters only coordinates the overall situation and generally does not take the initiative to take care of this matter. It is positioned as the guidance and coordination department and the battle situation guidance and coordination department.

Yang Linhui took Chen Ming to the door of division commander Wang Junwei's office, and he left.

The office door is open. Standing at the door, you can see your wife Chai Shuyao sitting in the living room holding a stack of rosters, as if she is choosing a house type.

As for division commander Wang Junwei, political commissar Xu Guoyang, and chief of staff Xu Wenqian, the three of them were sitting in the office area chatting.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ming was a little dumbfounded. This person who walked through the back door really didn't shy away from it at all.

Even if the 704th Division is vast and sparsely populated, and the places where they live are all newly built, there is enough space, and there will be no shortage of houses, then you can't just let him and his wife come over so blatantly to pick first, right?

If other assigned officers see it, they will feel a little protest in their hearts.

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

"Report."

"Enter."

Chen Ming strode into the office, nodded slightly to his wife who looked up at him, walked quickly to the office area, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Stop being stuck there and go pick out a house with Director Chai. The two of you will have a two-bedroom apartment of [-] square meters, and a one-bedroom apartment of [-] square meters."

"After you pick it, I'll give you the keys. When it's time to move in, move in. The roster will be sent to the logistics department in the afternoon."

Wang Junwei waved his hand, and his expression was completely different from the seriousness in the promotion ceremony just now.

Chen Ming wasn't old-fashioned at all. He wouldn't refuse the idea of ​​going through the back door, but he was a little uncomfortable with being so upright. He pointed at the roster in Chai Shuyao's hand and said, "Chief, is this really good?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just pick if I ask you to. Send it to the logistics department in the afternoon. Other comrades can also choose."

"Do you think I opened the back door for you alone?"

Wang Junwei threw the document in his hand on the desk angrily, "Let's take a look. You have a task in the afternoon and I don't have time for you to go to the logistics."

"The New Year's Day military parade is coming soon, and live-fire exercises also need to be planned, so we negotiate to add a planning department and a staff department to your fire department."

"The Firepower Department is divided into five departments, an operations department, an information department, a security department, a planning department, and a staff department."

"I don't care how the specific tasks are divided, you give me the job to do it right."

"In order to prepare for the next work, go down and recruit people from each combat unit. The Political Department, Staff Department, and Logistics Department will give you an establishment of 80 people."

"I have only one request. Let the fire department be officially activated as soon as possible. You will face many challenges in the future."

"Yes, the task is guaranteed to be completed."

Chen Ming looked at the document in his hand and was overjoyed. He was thinking about asking for someone just now and would add it when he came.

However, the more detailed departments the Firepower Department has, the heavier the responsibilities on his shoulders will be.
