Chapter 211

Brezhnev understood why Andrei attached so much importance to this matter, and he said: "Andrey, don't worry, I will definitely ensure the logistics supply of the whole division!" Then the two men discussed the situation carefully, and from this time on, the division headquarters implemented a new rule, and Anna later recalled: "At that time in November, there was hardly a day when the main leaders of the Central Committee did not meet all night and work in front of the map. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info just after this meeting and that meeting, after the conference had a small meeting, sometimes it was a one-on-one conversation, but I never ate dinner at first. There were a few meetings that lasted for more than ten hours, and still didn't eat a bite of food. It's no wonder that young people drink tea endlessly, "as if they haven't drunk tea".

Anna had only seen the chiefs eat dinner twice in a long time. At a time, a small piece of bread per person, no vegetables, no pickles. The other time was a small bowl of potato soup per person, about one or two halves, clear water soup with no meat and vegetables. ”

Of course, three meals a day still have to be guaranteed, especially when the staff officers work so hard every day, Andrei still has self-knowledge in his heart, not to mention the areas he doesn't know, even in the military, with the expansion of the scale of the campaign, a staff team with powerful functions is needed to assist in decision-making.

Andrei specifically emphasized when he was constantly absorbing staff officers:

In order to win a battle, in addition to political support, it is necessary to rely on staff work to organize the battle well, organize all kinds of forces, and coordinate and coordinate well, so that the leaders can smoothly see off their combat resolve and successfully complete their combat missions. This is the center of staff work, that is, the importance of staff work in modern warfare.

Due to the development of science, the progress of production technology, and the invention of new weapons, the war has undergone great changes. In ancient times, wars were all hand-to-hand wars between people, fought by a few fierce generals, and the so-called soldiers against soldiers were against generals. In the past, the weapons used were melee weapons, broadswords and spears, and the farthest was only bows and arrows, but now with guns, cannons, tanks, and airplanes, not only the weapons have been improved, but the tactics have also changed greatly. Nowadays, most of the battles are fought from a distance, a battle process, and the time spent in the distance is mostly taken up, and the melee combat by fighting bayonets is only a very small time. In terms of military branches, there are navies, armies, and air forces; In terms of army arms, there are infantry, artillery, cavalry, engineers, baggage troops and motorized troops; In terms of weapons, there are automatic firearms, chemical weapons, and optical weapons. In the past, wars were fought in a linear manner. On the second line, it's safe. The current war is deep and three-dimensional, and it does not matter whether there is an absolute front or a rear.

The specific tasks of the staff officer's work

1. Collect materials related to the terrain, time, troops, weapons, and enemy situation of the battle, analyze and study them, and provide the results to the commander as the basis for the military chief's decision.

2. Formulate battle plans and orders according to the determination of the chief. The commander's determination is determined on the basis of the comprehensive judgment of various materials and his own tasks, including the situation of the troops, the terrain, the weather, the enemy's situation, and the conditions of the masses. Individual tasks and implementation methods in accordance with the general mandate. and timely communicate and supervise the implementation of the facts. 3. Assist the chief in uninterrupted battlefield command. That is to say, we must ensure that the command work in the troops, especially on the battlefield, is not interrupted. As soon as the troops were deployed on the battlefield, there were casualties, or some of the wounded soldiers were sent down, so that the number gradually decreased, and if the commander was a little worse, there would be no use for the troops. At this time, the staff organs should pay attention to blocking those who have left the line of fire under the pretext of going out and urge them to come forward, otherwise it will affect the mood of the battle considerably. If there are a lot of casualties, the staff organs should try to replenish some fighters to the front line, even if they replenish a platoon of men and a squad of men, it is also good, and the effect is very great. Because victory in battle is often decided in the last few minutes, the period when the two sides hold each other is like a scale, the two sides are even, if this side adds a little bit,

The opponent will be hanging, and you will be able to defeat the enemy, which is very important.

4. Coordinate the coordination of all arms of the armed forces and supervise their implementation under the intention of the chief. Now we have infantry, artillery, engineers, cavalry, and baggage troops, and we should have good coordination and cooperation with these arms; otherwise, not only will we not be able to play the role of each branch of the army, but we will be in danger of killing and injuring ourselves.

5. Close contact with political organs. In terms of education and training, there should be close coordination with what should be emphasized in military education and what should be emphasized in political education during this period. In normal times, it is also necessary to inform each other of the problems of the troops, the emotions of the commanders and fighters, and the examination of the enemy's situation and residents, and keep in close contact with each other, so as to obtain sufficient and accurate materials and provide them to the commanders so that they can draw up a correct plan. This is very important, for example, if the political organ has a call, then the military organ should organize forces to implement it; If there is an order from the military organ, the political organ should mobilize troops to follow it.

It can be said that Andre still attaches great importance to the work of the staff officers, and his words not only make the staff officers very useful, but also make many people realize their own value, so the expanding staff team is operating efficiently.

Here, Yanayev and Brezhnev can be said to be very satisfied with Andrei's staff team building, the two chatted, Brezhnev said: "This staff officer can be said to have relieved us a lot of pressure." Yanayev, who is also a veteran, said: "You must know that the senior commanders of our army have all the experience of being staff officers, and many of the senior commanders are from staff officers, so it can be said that staff work is very important, and the General Staff Department is one of the most important leading organs of our whole army!"

It can be said that the efficient work of the staff officers has provided important help for the next operation, and the staff officers on duty here quickly got a battle report!
