Chapter 203 Plotting Charts, the Basis of Staff Operations

After reading the thick "Exercise Planning" and "Exercise Implementation Plan", Yang Wenbin's head was big. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With so many troops, so many detachments, and the actions of each season have to be reflected in the script, it is really a complicated project.

No wonder that the chief of staff of the division, having assigned tasks to the regiments, delegated specific organizational powers.

It should be said that this is also part of military democracy. All levels should manage the affairs of all levels, not overstep their responsibilities and not stick a stick to the end, fully arouse the enthusiasm of work at all levels, give full play to their creativity, and rationally allocate troops and weapons according to the nature and difficulty of the tasks, and carry out military deployments.

The next day, the regiments and divisions reported the deployment and action plan after receiving the task to the training section of the division headquarters.

The chief of staff of the division asked the training section to mark the plans submitted by the regiments on the military map in the form of an operational situation map.

The head of the training section handed over this task to Yang Wenbin.

After receiving the task, Yang Wenbin did not refuse, took the staff officer's work ruler and a red and blue pencil, and plunged into the war room.

He knew that this should be an investigation by the section chief to change to him.

This is because the staff officers of the training section are all drawn from the elite of the training departments of each regiment.

It's impossible to get in without two brushes.

Yang Wenbin, on the other hand, did not go through the selection process, and as soon as he graduated from graduate school, he was separated.

No matter what the reason for the assignment, if he is not competent for staff work, after a while, the section chief will also kick him out.

Because, the training department can't support idlers and mediocre people.

If you fail to accurately comprehend the commander's intentions, or if the orders conveyed are slightly wrong and delay the military planes, then corpses will be strewn all over the field and rivers of blood will flow.

Yang Wenbin understood what the section chief meant.

He's not a vegetarian either.

This is because, in the past two and a half years at the National Defense University, in addition to learning various theories of joint operations, he has also taught various staff skills, and moreover, he has been taught by the top teachers in the whole army.

At that time, I also worked hard.

Now, just in time, it comes in handy.

Operational plotting refers to the work of plotting the combat situation with military markings and characters on topographic maps and other carriers containing topographic information.

There are four types of operational maps: situation maps, command charts, battle situation maps, and work charts.

The diagram can be used as an annex to an order, plan, etc., as well as as a main document. It has the characteristics of conciseness, intuitiveness, image and so on.

Compared with the form of written expression, the map can make the combat situation sit in a certain geographical space, so that the marked combat situation is more intuitive and more vivid.

Therefore, plotting and drawing key maps is a relatively scientific method for recording the operational situation, drawing up operational documents, organizing and directing operations, and summing up operational experience.

When teaching operational plots, the National Defense University adopted a "three-step training."

Yang Wenbin feels that this is more in line with the learner's receptivity.

The first step is to understand the army marking. Identify commonly used labels, be familiar with the marking rules of labels, master the concept of marking and drawing, focus on understanding the combination law of labels, and understand the function of marking the combat situation.

The second step is to mark the combat situation. According to the modeling assumption, practice marking the combat situation, highlighting the use of the marking and the trade-offs of the situation, so that the plotter is familiar with the ways and requirements of marking the combat situation.

The third step is to comprehensively plot the drawing. Through the practice of plotting the drawings according to the charts, the plotters according to the text materials and the plotting according to the oral situation, so that the plotters are familiar with the plotting content, plotting order, plotting methods and finishing formats of the commonly used plots.

Yang Wenbin first went to the custodian of the training section to obtain a military topographic map of the exercise area.

Since each map was only one square kilometer, he received nine maps of the adjacent area.

Then, Yang Wenbin cut off the edges of each picture and carefully pasted the nine pictures together.

Then, after looking at the plan for the exercise and its implementation, we began to draw up the operational map in accordance with the rules for the use of markers.

Yang Wenbin, first used a black pen, and wrote a few large characters in Song style on the upper part of the map: "Jiaolongwei Area Offensive Battle Chief's Determination Map".

Then, according to a brief description of the enemy's situation, mark it on the map with a blue pen.

XXXX, XXXX area, is the enemy's command post, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, is the enemy's forward position, XXXX, XXXX area, is the enemy's artillery position, etc., respectively, the enemy's command post, forward position, artillery position, mixed minefield, snake-shaped barbed wire.

After marking the marking, the text annotation was written, and the black pen was used to mark it.

Then, according to the organization of our army, its geographical location, and the configuration area, he began to mark the situation of our army.

It means that the team logo of our army, except for artillery, electronic countermeasures, engineering troops, and radar, is used in black, and the marking is good to use black.

Yang Wenbin first marked the locations of the division's basic command post, reserve command post, and logistics command post.

The command posts and camp configurations of each regiment were then marked.

Then, according to the plans submitted by the regiments, the positions of the battalions and detachments of each branch were marked in each season of the operation.

Then, it is necessary to mark the positions of the main attack direction, the assist direction, the basic position, the reserve position, the artillery fire strike group, the electronic countermeasure jamming group, and so on reported by each regiment.

The location of the army was marked, and it was also marked on the map according to the offensive positions of the navy and air force aviation.

After marking the basic troops, he drew the formation of the troops in the lower left corner of the map, and marked the numbers and weapons and equipment of the units directly under and attached to our army, which was clear at a glance.

Finally, in the lower right corner of the figure is written, division commander, XXX, political commissar, XXX, XXXX, XX month, XX day, Jiaolongwei.

In this way, after four hours of non-stop work, he finally completed this complex marking work, the "Determination Map of the Offensive Battle Chiefs in the Jiaolongwei Area", and hung it on the map frame in the war room.

After the hand-drawn map was marked, Yang Wenbin did not stop, he turned on the computer again, opened the army command automation system, and made an electronic version of the military operation map, which was the same as the hand-drawn map just now.

In the process of drawing up the hand-drawn map, he had a clear understanding of the combat situation and other conditions, and he completed the plotting of the electronic map in only one hour.

He stretched, and when he looked at his watch, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

He turned off the lights in the war room, quietly, returned to his tent, and slept beautifully.

The next morning, when he came back from the exercise, he was about to go to exercise, when the messenger came to call him and said that the chief of the training section had asked him to come over.

The section chief was in the war room with his hands behind his back, admiring Yang Wenbin's plot.

"Well, this icon is good, the dots are very accurate, the lines are relatively smooth, and it accurately reproduces the various combat situations on the battlefield." The section chief smiled and said to him, "It seems that your basic skills are still good, your reaction ability is fast, and you also know that you are working overtime, I am still very satisfied with you."

By the way, you have passed the manual plotting, so how about your basic skills for computer plotting? You're plotting a computer diagram today! ”

Yang Wenbin smiled and said, "Section Chief, look at me, I've finished labeling." ”

He turned on his special computer and pointed out the operational map he had marked to the section chief. The section chief, seriously, carefully examined the plot, and kept nodding and saying, "Well, not bad!" This icon is also very good and very accurate. ”
