Chapter 241: Divisions Transformed into Brigades
readx;
Thinking about the fastest update of the roader,!
Guan Fei didn't want their impatience to affect the commanders and fighters on standby, so he deliberately changed the topic and talked about the recent rumors about the troop establishment in the headquarters. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Regarding the establishment of troops after the expansion, I tend to skip the regimental level below the theater headquarters and directly set up brigade-level combat units...... He stared at Sun Yaohua, organizing his vocabulary, holding a picked up branch in his hand, and drawing the expected troop establishment system on the ground.
It has been more than half a year since the victory in the anti-encirclement and suppression operation at the end of last year.
The more than 24,000 soldiers who were captured at the beginning were shot in public after the public trial meeting, and other prisoners began to honestly accept reform, and in addition to manual labor such as road construction, farmland reclamation, and water conservancy construction under supervision, they conscientiously studied Chinese and reshaped their world outlook and values.
The first batch of more than 4,000 prisoners, who were born in the lower classes of poor people, lived in poverty, and had no family ties at all, had no good impression of the government and military officers, and soon accepted the new ideas instilled in the base areas. After they were broken up and put on active duty in batches, they were naturally integrated into the current armed forces system in the base areas.
According to observations, the vast majority of these people, with the exception of a very small number of people who were deeply hidden, tried to escape from the base areas and were re-thrown into the prisoner camps after being caught, the vast majority of the liberation soldiers were active in the troops, and their daily political study and training were very hard, and they already belonged to a combat force that could be trusted.
Every two or three months in the future, a group of transformed liberation soldiers will be incorporated into the army, and it is expected that in about one and a half to two years, all 24,000 captives will be converted.
A small number of prisoners who resolutely do not recognize the base areas and have no blood debts in their hands will not be released after they have served five years of labor reform.
After five years of labor reform, all military skills will be wasted, and they are also old, and it is basically impossible for them to return to the army. If they are put back, they are not afraid that they will be recruited again by the Weiding Army, which will pose a danger to the base area. Moreover, five years later, if the army does not take action, the base areas will also launch a war to liberate the whole of the country, and they will not have time to re-recruit, train, and organize, and the harm will be close to zero.
At the same time, the number of veterans who defected from China is also growing day by day, and the total number has reached more than 30,000.
Among them, 24,000 or 5,000 are veterans of self-defense and counterattacks, and the other 12,000 or 3,000 come from a very complicated source: there are strong soldiers who have retired from the first class of domestic troops, and there are also veterans who have retired from the second class of the army. In addition to combat units, there are also communications, logistics, sanitary troops, radars, tanks, and many other branches of the armed forces. And not only the army, but also the air defense forces, air force ground crew, and navy veterans, can be described as varied.
Their unifying characteristic is that they come from the countryside, and they basically have no chance to stay in the city after being discharged from the army.
You must know that there are now 5 million troops in the country, and according to the three-year compulsory military service law, the number of veterans will reach as much as 15.6 million every year!
In China, we can't even solve the work of returning to the city, so how can we arrange the work of so many veterans.
The basic principle in the country is that no matter how well you perform in training, you will win prizes in martial arts competitions every year, and as long as you are not promoted to a cadre or go to a military academy, it is impossible to continue to stay in the army.
It is a cadre at the company level and deputy battalion level, and it is also said that if he is discharged from the army, he will be discharged from the army, which is not a pity.
Where did the veterans come from and where did they go back, the urban soldiers returned to the city, and the rural soldiers returned to their hometowns, and if they were lucky, they could get a half-official position such as a militia captain in the village committee, and most of them could only continue to work in their hometowns, and there was basically no possibility of changing their fate.
Veterans are also human beings, and they also yearn to be able to break away from the life of facing the loess with their backs to the sky.
In the past, there was no other way out, whether you wanted to yi or not, as soon as the discharge order arrived, it was impossible to continue to stay if you were looking for death and life, so you could only say goodbye to the barracks with tears and return to your hometown to be a farmer.
Now that the base area has given them another way out, they are naturally eager to do so.
In the past four years, through word of mouth, the existence of the base areas has long been no secret, especially in the army, and there are many rumors about the base areas.
Everyone was talking about the Type 79 automatic rifle used by the comrades and comparing it with the Type 81 automatic rifle that had just been issued in small quantities;
talk about how awesome their body armor is, and they can't wear it when their rifles shoot at close range;
Talking about how rich the base area is, the equipment distributed to each soldier is worth more than 2,000 yuan;
Talking about the fact that there are only soldiers in the base area, and there are no breeders;
talked about living in beautiful barracks in the army, with big fish and meat every day, and all-you-can-eat at will;
Talking about the monthly allowance of 20 yuan for each soldier, the monthly salary after becoming a professional soldier is nearly 100, which is more than that of ordinary city people, and after being promoted to a cadre at the rank of lieutenant or above, it is not a problem for a person's salary to support the whole family, and there can still be a surplus;
Talking about the government providing free labor skills training after being discharged from the army, but Hou helped arrange the job, and there was no longer any worries......
Therefore, there is no longer any need for propaganda in the base areas, but the news of the imminent expansion of the army has been released, and countless veterans, with the desire to be a city dweller and yearn for a better life, have come to the base areas from the snowfields in the northeast, the loess in the west, the central plains, the mountains and forests in the southwest, and the seashores in the southeast, or on foot, hitchhiking, or taking trains, across the boundary river, and wave after wave to the base area.
38,000 people did not mean that only so many came, in fact, the veterans who came from all over the country burst into 100,000 people in a short period of time!
With so many veterans, the base areas do not have the ability to digest them all.
We had no choice but to select the best of the best, and 38,000 people were selected to re-train the recruits in order to adapt to the troop establishment, military regulations, and various military equipment in the base areas. The rest of the veterans who were not selected were all registered by the Labor Service Department and sent to technical schools for cultural and skill training, preparing to treat them as laborers, absorb them from the production field, and turn them into a solid foundation for the base area.
In addition, more than 10,000 people have been incorporated into the militia system, receiving militia training while working, and have become a potential reserve of soldiers in the base areas.
Today, the total number of active military personnel in the base area has reached 69,000!
Among them, there are 7,000 veteran troops, 24,000 liberation soldiers, and 38,000 domestic veterans, which is the most important value that can be supported by the financial resources of the base area, and it is also the upper limit of the old troops as the core, which can be digested and absorbed into a loyal and reliable armed force that obeys commands, can be mobilized, and can fight.
Such a large army is also at the level of a first-class group army in China!
The staff officers of the General Headquarters also racked their brains and drew up one establishment plan after another by drawing on the establishment of the Weiding Army, the domestic army, and the Western army, and submitted them to Guan Fei.
What he is talking to Sun Yaohua now is some of his thoughts after reading these preparation plans.
"According to the plan handed in, in terms of establishment, there are several types: one is to set up a corps-level establishment, with about 20,000 men in each army, and a total of three corps in the whole army, plus a mobile unit directly under the general headquarters, which will be reorganized according to the standard of corps, divisions, regiments, and battalions;
The second is also set on this basis, between divisions and regiments, one more brigade-level unit is added;
The third is not an army, the most important units in the base area are divisions, each division is about 8,000 to 10,000 people, and the whole army is divided into six to seven divisions, plus non-combat units such as troops directly under the headquarters, staff officers, logistics, and medical personnel;
The fourth division is also up to the division, but the number is not so large, only four to five divisions, each division has been strengthened to about 13,000 people, and it has become a unit that does not need support and can fight independently, and the extra troops will improve the establishment of the armed forces, increase the armored troops, air defense units, radar units, army aviation units, and other arms, improve the combat methods, and gradually realize the regularization of the ......."
"I think you're more inclined to the fourth plan!" Sun Yaohua listened intently, he had seen all kinds of preparation plans, and many of them were handed to Guan Fei through his hands, of course he knew very well. Hearing this, he interjected and said with a smile.
"That's right! I am more inclined to the fourth option, but my idea is more radical: not even divisions, not regiments, and directly based on battalions, brigade-level combat units are formed! ”
Guan Fei did not deny it, and admitted it.
If a regime is compared to a plant, then the army is the backbone, the capital is the root system, the functional departments are the branches extending from the tree, and the masses are the leaves on the tree.
If the trunk is loose, the tree may collapse; The short root system cannot absorb enough nutrients to nourish the tree and make it thrive; The branches are so weak that they cannot hold up a broad canopy and connect as many leaves as possible; If the leaves are sparse, the amount of photosynthesis will be reduced, and enough chlorophyll will not be able to be transported to all parts of the tree, causing the whole tree to gradually wither and die.
Each link complements each other, and there is no superiority or inferiority.
But if you want to choose one, Guan Fei will choose the trunk: even if it is a light pole, it is possible to grow roots, branches and leaves when inserted into the soil!
Politics comes out of the barrel of a gun, and he is firm on this.
Therefore, he has never been ashamed to admit that he has seized power, and he can properly let go of other departments, give full play to the subjective initiative of his comrades to play freely, even if something goes wrong and pokes a basket, he can bear it, find another way to turn the tide, and maybe he can turn bad things into good things.
Only the army, he is resolute not to let go, his eyes are fixed on the upper miàn.
He had to personally look at every cadre's promotion report, and give positive or negative opinions based on his usual observations.
Occasionally, the chief officer of some links will be jealous of a capable subordinate, and will delay the submission of the promotion report, trying to suppress the growth of the other party. At this time, he will take the initiative to intervene and promote these grassroots cadres who are loyal to him and capable to display their talents on a larger stage, select and appoint the best and the best, and use the method of healthy competition to promote the rapid improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Of course, with the gradual expansion of the size of the troops, it will become more and more difficult to know the situation of even a certain grassroots soldier as it was at the beginning. But if he raised his focus to the company-platoon-level cadres, even if the army was eventually expanded to 69,000 people, he would have the energy to get a general idea of it.
And while the other party is promoted, the higher the position, the closer he is to him, and the clearer he can see.
At the squad level, maybe he can't see it; At the platoon level, due to the lack of contact time, there may also be some foggy flowers, and it is possible to misjudge because of looking away; But when the other party is promoted to the battalion level, it is almost impossible to escape his gaze, and all disguises will be revealed by his persistent and silent observation, and finally restore it to the most authentic image.
The control of the wheel-to-turn troops is so high that he thinks he is second in the world, and no one dares to call himself the first!
With such a powerful tool for judging human nature, Guan Fei certainly didn't want to make a bloated mechanism with heavy beds and stacked frames. The more complex the institution, the farther it is from his line of sight, the more obscured it is that what can be seen, and the higher the probability of errors in the judgments formed on this basis.
What he hoped for was a lean command system with as few intermediate links as possible, so he just looked at the establishment of divisions, brigades, and regiments submitted by the staff officers, and he had no intention of accepting it from the beginning.
Not only do you not want an army, you don't even want a division, but you also have to skip the regiment and go straight to the brigade!
The number of brigades is a little larger, and the advantages of a small department have the advantages of a small department, it is clear at a glance, as long as you go down and walk around, the situation that exists in it will not escape his gaze. It's a big deal to work hard, go deep into one unit every day, and you can take turns again in a month or two.
"I plan to increase the battalion to about 800 people, but Hou is equipped with a certain amount of heavy military qi, and has the ability to fight independently on a small scale. However, with three or four battalions, they were combined into a brigade -- the number of our middle and high-ranking military cadres is still too small, and all of them have come out of ordinary soldiers, and although they are constantly being trained, there are very few cadres in charge of troops at and above the regimental level, and it is still too risky to mention the division level at once.
The reorganization of three or four battalions into a brigade is actually a strengthened version of the regiment, which is not very difficult for most battalion-level cadres at present.
In this way, the whole army could be organized into eighteen brigades with 57,000 combatants.
In addition, there are more than 10,000 people, in addition to civilian cadres, who are technical units such as antiaircraft artillery, radar, military hospitals, communications, armor, and aviation. Among them, the anti-aircraft artillery can have one brigade, two armored battalions, an airmobile battalion equipped with gyroplanes, and two infantry battalions equipped with vehicles to form a rapid reaction brigade......"
Guan Fei held a tree branch and drew a structure diagram on the ground, describing to Sun Yaohua his vision for the future establishment of the theater troops.
"How many people are to be equipped with an airmobile battalion? How many gyroplanes? What heavy equipment is there? Sun Yaohua also took a branch and pointed to the mobile battalion and asked.
"The number of mobile battalions is the same as that of ordinary infantry battalions, and it is also around 800 people. A battalion of four companies, each with two hundred men. The company is equipped with 20 two-seater armored gyroplanes, equipped with simple navigation equipment and communication equipment, and the Wuqi is a six-barreled rotary cannon, and can also carry two rocket nests. To see the increase in weight, the power should be increased to two hundred horsepower, and the rotor length should reach two meters and three.
In addition to armed rotorcraft, the mobile battalion is equipped with twenty-four five-seater transport gyroplanes, which can be appropriately weakened or even not installed to save capacity. One hundred and twenty armed soldiers can be transported in a single sortie, and each person can also carry about 20 kilograms of personal equipment and ammunition.
In addition, six transport rotorcraft aircraft were allocated to them to transport mortars and artillery shells of a caliber of less than 120 millimeters as heavy firepower transport aircraft.
The battalion was to be equipped with a hundred armored rotorcraft - twenty of them were to be used as an air strike force at the command of the battalion headquarters; 110 troop-carrying five-seater rotorcraft, of which 16 were also directly under the battalion headquarters; As well as forty heavy gyroplanes.
That's two hundred and fifty! ”
"The space needed for such a battalion is large enough...... Sun Yaohua mused.
"It's not too big. Due to the increased load, the blades of the gyroplane have to be extended to two meters three, but usually the blades can be retracted and do not take up space. The width of the fuselage of the armed type is less than one meter, the width of the transport type is only one and a half meters, and the length of the aircraft is three meters, and a piece of open space 20 meters wide and more than 10 meters long is enough to park all the rotorcraft of an air mobile company, which is more than enough.
However, when flying, a cement runway of about 200 meters is needed, and the width should reach 10 meters, and the method of flying in pairs and pairs can be used to take off in about 10 minutes.
This required the mobile battalions to be placed in a spacious area, with a spacing of about 70 metres between the companies, and a 300-metre cement runway ahead of each company. This area is a little wider, but it's okay, after all, we only have this one airmobile battalion, and the bigger the place, the bigger the place. ”
Sun Yaohua nodded.
In the past few months, the base area has used a large number of gyroplanes in the battle to clear the Tusi cottage, and the effect is amazing.
Although it was windy in parts of the mountainous area, the gyroplane could not rise into the air, but in most cases it was able to go into battle. Whether it is an armored type of ground strike, or a transport type of enemy rear assault and outflanking, it has shown its flexible and mobile characteristics, and when it cooperates with infantry operations, it has burst out with quite strong combat effectiveness.
While the base areas are actually implementing the rotorcraft unit, they are also constantly improving it according to the actual situation.
For example, the armor area has been expanded, and the rear engine has also been protected, which has increased the air survivability of armed rotorcraft.
For example, the structure of the airframe has been strengthened, so that it can use six-barreled rotating cannons and mount rocket nests, making the firepower more ferocious.
For example, the installation of digital communication equipment with a range of tens of kilometers has made the ground-air connection closer, the cooperation between aircraft groups more close, and the tactics more diverse. Quantitative changes bring qualitative changes, a large number of armed rotorcraft collective action, the formation of the wolf pack effect is very significant, one by one difficult to conquer cottages, under the large group of gyroplanes layered blows collapsed, for the base area to quickly sweep away a Tusi cottage has made a great contribution.
And the transport gyroplane, which has been replaced with more horsepower, is just as good.
On many mountains and dangerous places that are difficult for infantry to climb, rotorcraft can easily take their soldiers to climb them, and the scope and speed of troop movement are greatly beyond the enemy's expectations, causing them to take care of one thing and lose sight of the other, exposing flaws everywhere, and constantly attacking their weak underbelly by the base areas, quickly resolving the battle, and satisfactorily achieving the operational objectives. During the several months of clearing and suppressing operations, the rotorcraft transported the commanders and fighters to make a sudden landing in the air, projected their troops to the Guanjiàn position in time, stuck the main communication arteries, and cooperated with the main force to successfully annihilate the enemy, without allowing a single remnant of the enemy to slip away.
After several months of practice, a small but capable army aviation unit was initially trained, and a set of effective air-ground integrated combat methods was summed up in the base areas, and only then was it formally decided to set up a separate airmobile battalion. Guan Fei is even more prepared to directly combine this battalion with the armored battalion and the vehicle infantry battalion to form a rapid reaction brigade that can completely rely on other fraternal units and fight independently!
"Your plan sounds very good, and I don't have an opinion, but ......" Sun Yaohua thought for a long time, raised his head, looked at Guan Fei, and said seriously, "This must be based on our air supremacy!" Otherwise, with the clumsy air maneuverability of the gyroplane, it will be knocked down by the enemy like a sparrow, one by one, bringing us huge losses that we cannot bear! Have you ever taken the test? "Lifted into the air, but for the most part it can be put into battle. Whether it is an armored type of ground strike, or a transport type of enemy rear assault and outflanking, it has shown its flexible and mobile characteristics, and when it cooperates with infantry operations, it has burst out with quite strong combat effectiveness.
While the base areas are actually implementing the rotorcraft unit, they are also constantly improving it according to the actual situation.
