"The biggest problem in Staff Officer Xu's words ......" Commander Xu continued: "It's that we have to make changes, but it doesn't mean that we are not cautious. In fact, it was because of caution that we decided to let the synthesis battalion train a regiment first. If this kind of training and reform are truly effective, it will indeed raise the combat effectiveness of our airborne troops to a higher level and enable our troops to take a big step forward in modernizing their troops. How can this be said to be imprudent? How can it be said that it is casual?! ”

"I agree with the commander!" A cadre stood up and said, "This is really not about Battalion Commander Yang and the synthetic battalion, because there are only two roads in front of us now: one is not to reform and continue like this." The other way is to change oneself to keep up with the times, to adapt oneself to modern warfare, and to keep up with the pace of modern warfare. We can choose between these two paths, but it is clear that the first path is not going to work! Because not reforming means that we will be eliminated by the battlefield, and the battlefield is a very realistic place, and it will not give us special care because we are heroic troops. And when the day really comes, we will make this heroic army disgraced because of us, and the honor forged by the martyrs with their blood and lives will lose its color because of us, I don't want to be this sinner, I think everyone in our airborne troops...... I don't want to be such a sinner! ”

"What Captain Zhang said is right!" Another cadre stood up and said: "One of the things we often say is to sweat more in peacetime and shed less blood in wartime, but in fact, there should be a sentence, that is, to shed more tears in peacetime and less blood in wartime." Reform is indeed painful. But the pain now is so that we don't suffer when we go to war in the future. Even if we don't talk about the battlefield, let's talk about the current disarmament turmoil...... We ask ourselves. If Battalion Commander Yang did not provide such a list. Without any training plan, can we really never face disarmament?

Indeed, at present, we do not need to face disarmament, but that is also because of the name of the heroic unit laid down for us by the martyrs, with the passage of time, when the ordinary troops are reformed into a modern army to adapt to modern warfare, and if we are still hiding under the protection of the name of the heroic army, how long can we hide? Even if we can keep hiding. Don't you feel like a wretch?! When we heard that other troops were fighting on the battlefield, and how brave and meritorious other troops were, we didn't dare to gasp, because we knew it in our hearts...... You can't fight yourself, your own troops can't go to the battlefield! So whatever you think, I can't stand this wretch, even if the most disarmament is to be cut on my head, I will raise my hands in favor! ”

Hearing this, the cadres couldn't help nodding their heads, and I couldn't help but praise in my heart: This is the true character of a hero and a soldier.

"Comrades!" At this time, Staff Officer Xu, who was criticized as a little embarrassed, spoke again: "Just now, Regiment Commander Zhang said that we only have two choices, one is not to reform. The second is reform. I think there's something wrong with that, and I'm in favor of reform. There is no opinion on this point, everyone knows that if we do not reform, we will be eliminated, and we who are soldiers, especially if we are still heroic troops, cannot be eliminated.

However, I don't think we should be in such a hurry. We can reform, but we can take our time, for example, we have asked the soldiers to communicate with veterans who have participated in battles, learn from them, and so on. I believe that with the quality of our airborne troops, we will be able to gradually adapt to and keep up with the pace of reform without the need for drastic disarmament, and I believe that this is also the voice of tens of thousands of soldiers and cadres of the airborne forces. ”

Staff Officer Xu's immediate response aroused the sympathy of a considerable number of cadres, because in fact, there were many cadres and even a considerable number of soldiers who had the idea of letting the airborne troops slowly transform.

As a result, there was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and the cadres all had their own opinions and did not let each other go.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" At this time, Commander Xu raised his head at me and said, "What do you think about this?" ”

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, Commander Xu threw the hot potato to me, and then I didn't know how to answer.

If you don't agree with Staff Officer Xu's point of view, you will immediately offend a large group of people.

But if you agree with Staff Officer Xu's point of view, that means we have to take our time, and let's stop this training...... In fact, I also want to answer like this, because just now I have already had an idea: I only need to take care of my synthetic battalion, and what does it matter to me how you airborne troops reform, why should I offend people here and be looked down upon!

It's just that Commander Xu spoke for me and the synthetic battalion at the meeting just now, which made me a little embarrassed to drag my feet like this.

So after thinking about it, he said: "This question should be viewed from two aspects, if you start from the feelings of your comrades-in-arms, it is indeed better to take it slowly." But if we consider it from the combat effectiveness of the troops as a whole...... Take the formation of our composite battalion as an example: our sniper company is formed by selecting fighters with good marksmanship and good psychological quality from various units, and the tank battalion is selected from tank units. Of course, I don't rule out universal soldiers, in fact, the fighters of our synthetic battalion are developing in the direction of universal warriors, for example, the fighters of the special agent company are able to snipe, drive tanks, fight artillery, etc., but there is a specialization in the art industry, and the soldiers of the special agent company have much less training time in sniper and tank training than professional troops, and it is difficult to surpass professional soldiers in these aspects......"

"That's what I'm trying to say!" Staff Officer Xu interjected and said: "Since your agent company can do sniper and open tanks at the same time, why can't we develop the troops we need from the airborne forces?" For example, if you need snipers or anti-tank missile shooters, we can get instructors from other units and let these instructors train our fighters! And there is another advantage to this, that is, the soldiers in our airborne troops can parachute, and the introduction of soldiers from other units also needs to learn to parachute! ”

It should be said that Staff Officer Xu's words are not unreasonable.

But......

"If such a regiment is just trained from an army, then such a method may work!" I said, "But if you want to change one army from standing still to another style of warfare, it will be quite difficult. And war waits for no one, what if there is a war tomorrow? (To be continued......)
