This handover can be said to be relatively smooth, and with the guarantee of the chief, Gao Cheng can also do it with confidence. He was followed by the officer of the Political Department who had arranged for him to take up his post and took a car to the unit where he would take up his new post.

This time he set off in a different direction than the 702nd Regiment, in the past, his company was responsible for the defense around Yanjing, and now the station of the synthetic battalion he is going to is located in Yanshan, looking at the more and more hills outside the car window, and the denser and denser jungles, Gao Cheng thought of his previous days with Dasha and them.

His knowledge of this force was only on paper, and he did not know anything about the formation, equipment, and composition of the troops. I don't know if it's to surprise him or a test, but in the face of the unknown, Gao Cheng has plucked up confidence, and plans to use what he has learned to train an iron army.

It was almost evening when we arrived at this unit, and although it was only 200 kilometers away from the military headquarters, the road here was really not easy to walk, and it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon when we set off at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was estimated that the personnel who came to see them off would only be able to stay here for one day.

It is estimated that they have been notified, and after they showed their documents, they were quickly let go by the guards here. Not to mention that there are no sentinels in the middle of nowhere, on the contrary, according to Gao Cheng's observation, the sentry posts here are no worse than other places, and he even observed several hidden sentry posts.

This made Gao Cheng more interested in this unit, both from the first impression of the soldiers here and from the arrangement of the sentry posts here, he felt a sense of familiarity, and this familiarity reminded him of the Seventh Company. The same elite will make people feel the same way no matter where they are placed.

As soon as Gao Cheng got out of the car, several major captains and officers greeted him. It could be seen that several of them were waiting for their arrival in Gao Cheng.

"You are the battalion commander Gao, it can be regarded as looking forward to you, and all the commanders and soldiers of the first battalion have expressed a warm welcome to your arrival." A major officer who walked over was of the same rank as Gao Cheng.

"My name is Wang Wei, the instructor of the first battalion, and I will be our two partners in the future, and I hope to learn more from the high battalion commander." After a brief welcome, the major introduced himself.

"Hello, Takashiro." Gao Cheng also said hello to others, it was not that he was cold, but he was a little unfamiliar with this instructor named Wang Wei. And in his military career, the two instructors who partnered with him, although each of them was good at communication, but he was the first one who could give Gao Cheng a slippery impression.

Seeing that Gao Cheng was so cold, the instructor who came to welcome him didn't care, and then greeted the military officials who sent Gao Cheng over, and then beckoned everyone to go to the conference room.

After all, an inauguration ceremony is needed, and this is a matter of procedure. They took Gao Cheng to the conference room of the first battalion, and along the way, this instructor also introduced the situation of the first battalion to Gao Cheng. Although this instructor's impression of Gao Cheng was not as good as that of Hong Xingguo, but when they met for the first time, he couldn't just turn a blind eye to this enthusiasm for others, so he also asked a few questions from time to time that he wanted to know.

Soon, a few of them arrived in the conference room. Looking like a newly renovated conference room, Gao Cheng had his first impression of this unit. Perhaps, just like this army, everything here is starting from scratch.

The officer of the Political Department of the Military Department read out the appointment of Gao Cheng, who will be the battalion commander of the new army from today onwards.

As the battalion commander, Gao Cheng definitely needs to speak. One is to introduce himself, and the other is to express his philosophy of governing the army.

"Hello everyone, my name is Gao Cheng. You may already know me well, but I'd like to give you a brief introduction. Looking around, Takashiro continued.

"As a college student, I may have been in the military for a longer period of time, and I will still need your help in various matters in the first battalion in the future. However, there is one thing I need to stress is that if you don't understand, you have to ask, the establishment of our army may be different from other units in the past, and I hope that all of you here can be mentally prepared. ”

Seeing that in the conference room, except for the officer who sent him, all the officers were waiting for him, Gao Cheng nodded in his heart. This may be a good start, every commander and fighter here is a strong soldier in his opinion, this does not need him to look at the resume, you can know from their state at this meeting.

Of course, the military region will not bring some people over to make up the numbers, and the leaders of their army have spent a lot of effort on the establishment of this synthetic battalion. Even if a unit like Team A recruits, there is nothing that can make them worry about it like this time.

Gao Cheng continued: "Next, I may need to know about our battalion first, which comrade will introduce himself first?" ”

"Let's come first, you may not be familiar with Battalion Commander Gao, after all, he has just been transferred from various units." It was Wang Wei who spoke, and it was also very suitable for him to start this as an instructor.

"Battalion Commander Gao, at present, our first battalion has been fully integrated. At present, there are six companies and one platoon of the battalion subordinate troops, and in addition to the battalion commander Gao, the battalion commander also has Deputy Battalion Commander Sun as your assistant. There is also Deputy Instructor Zhao and Chief of Staff Li. "Every time he says someone, he will look at it, and Gao Cheng will still understand which one he is talking about.

Gao Cheng can be regarded as having a preliminary understanding of the troops he will lead, according to Instructor Wang's introduction, the establishment of their composite battalion is almost half of the number of their 702nd regiment, if each company is not a regular number, he estimates that the establishment of this synthetic battalion is almost the configuration of a regiment.

Here he learned that in their battalion there was the post of chief of staff. It is said that there will be no chief of staff in a battalion-level unit, and at most it would be good to have an operational staff officer, and that is still the concurrent position of other officers in the battalion.

Although there is an additional role of chief of staff, Gao Cheng is quite happy in his heart. One is that this role is indispensable in the synthesis camp, and the other is that he feels that the establishment of this synthesis camp may have taken many factors into consideration by the leaders.

In the future, we still need to talk more about the staff officer with this Chief of Staff Li, after all, Gao Cheng pointed out this point when Gao Cheng was chatting with his father, and the key to the command of the composite battalion is the staff officer issue. The composite battalion is different from the battalion or company of a single branch of the armed forces, and it contains the command of multiple arms, and using past experience to command it may cause operational defeat; after all, it is not too easy to let the experienced commanders and fighters of the artillery leaders command the armored troops.

The next is the introduction of each company, today in order to welcome Gao Cheng, the commanders of the six companies of the whole battalion are here, this time I did not let the instructor introduce them again, after all, as the military commander, they need to communicate with Gao Cheng too many times in the future, and everyone needs to let Gao Cheng understand them.

"Report, I am Cui Yingjie, the commander of the 1st Infantry Company, who served in the M Division of Army C and arrived at the 1st Battalion at the beginning of this month. Our company has 14 infantry chariots under its command, with a number of people, and the whole company is now fully staffed, and the report has been completed. "This is a pragmatic person, this is Gao Cheng's first impression of Company Commander Cui, he didn't have a word of nonsense about what he wanted to know, he must be a more practical person in the original company, which made Gao Cheng have expectations for other companies.

The reports of other companies have a company as a template, and what they report is basically these, which is nothing more than a report on the establishment and equipment of the company, and any more needs to be understood by the battalion commander of Gao Cheng.

There are two companies that Gao Cheng is concerned about, one is the newly formed composite battalion support and support company, which includes reconnaissance, communications, engineering, transportation and other specialties.

As the basic support unit of the whole battalion, this company also has the largest number of establishments, including a repair platoon, an engineering defense platoon, a cooking platoon, a transport platoon, a medical platoon, and a reconnaissance platoon with a separate formation.

Support support, this new company Gao Cheng has an opinion in his heart. He may have different training methods from other commanders and fighters. In the past, the focus of this kind of company mission was on support, but Gao Cheng's requirements for this company were not only as simple as support, but also had to keep up with the support function.

Figuring out the functional orientation is only the first step in building the combat effectiveness of the support support company. How to embed in the combat system of the composite battalion to exert cohesion and make the various elements of combat effectiveness clenched into a fist is the "next article" that Gao Cheng needs to do urgently.

As for the remaining company he needs to pay attention to, it is the assault company, as a heavy unit in the synthetic battalion, it is also the firepower output of their battalion, and its infantry and tank coordination also need his attention. Although Gao Cheng came out of the tank regiment, he also knew little about the training methods of the tank company, which was also the difficulty of his future work.
