Chapter 152 Disarmament

The training and reorganization of the airborne troops is not complicated, after all, the training has the experience of a composite battalion, and the process of reorganization and training regiments can be replicated, so this is actually a question of the rest of the regiments conducting training in a step-by-step manner according to the training subjects after the arrival of equipment and personnel from other units.

In addition, there is nothing to say about the ideological consciousness of the fighters of the Airborne Forces, their enduring hardships and standing hard work, etc., so the reorganization and training soon began throughout the army, and all of a sudden, the training ground of the Airborne Forces was filled with the sound of gunfire, artillery, and the roar of armored vehicles, helicopters, and transport planes.

The difference from the previous training regiment is that this is now a large-scale training for the whole army, and you must know that this airborne unit is fully staffed, and there are more than 30,000 people in the whole army.

One of the most serious is the lack of airports and transport aircraft.

Just as Chen Shengde and others said, in the past, their airborne troops used hot air balloons, parachute towers, and the like to train parachutes, and in order to save money, the transport planes only practiced a few times a year. This situation has not changed until now, that is, there is only a regular airfield and dozens of transport aircraft in the entire base.

We must know that the vast majority of the transport planes equipped by the airborne troops at this time are still Yun-5, and this plane can only carry more than a dozen soldiers, and the more than 30,000 people in the whole army do not know what kind of fatigue they will have to become pilots or mechanics after each parachute jump.

However, fortunately, although the transport capacity of the Yun-5 is insufficient, the requirements for the runway are very low...... It's the kind of old-fashioned biplane propeller plane, and the take-off distance is only 170 meters. So let the sappers level a piece of land at will. Then a few bunkers were put on and soon several new airports were built.

Then Commander Xu made another phone call. That Yun Wu flew over in batches and batches. Of course, there are also a large number of parts and mechanics along with Yun Wuyi.

It is said that this Yun-5 is China's first self-manufactured transport aircraft, and a total of more than 700 aircraft have been produced, and now it is the time when the airborne troops urgently need the Yun-5 for training, so it is not a problem to transfer more than 100 planes.

But I think there is also a factor in this because the Airborne Forces need it, and this is required by other troops...... I'm afraid that when the plane arrives, I don't know what year and month it will be!

Even so, each pilot flew an average of four or five times a day, only to exhaust the pilots. Actually, it's not just pilots who can't stand it. The plane flew more and more needed fuel and parts, and on the other hand, it had to constantly transport soldiers selected from other units to the base, so the car also kept transporting supplies to the base without stopping, which made the logistics troops cry out that they couldn't stand it.

In fact, they are not the only ones who are tired, and the synthesis camp is also busy...... Our synthetic battalion is the founder of this kind of synthetic training, so the cadres in the airborne troops like to come to our synthetic battalion to ask this and that if they have any questions about this synthetic training.

Not to mention the training regiments, because they themselves are from the Airborne Forces, so they are simply arranged to take turns to demonstrate and guide other regiments. Of course, when they are demonstrating and guiding other regiments, they still need the cadres and staff officers of our synthetic battalion to supervise them. The reason is that they are worried that their demonstrations and guidance will sometimes not be in place, and the result will be that the wrong tactical methods will be popularized throughout the army.

However, all of this is actually a small thing...... It's busy, but it's organized. Tired but tired is valuable. What's more, the whole army has been equipped with new equipment such as Type 81 rifles, recoilless guns, and anti-tank missiles, which have been greatly improved in terms of firepower, accuracy, and range compared with previous equipment, so the soldiers have also practiced well.

Even if they have been taught for a long time that they are "not afraid of sacrifice, not afraid of hardship", "mentally defeat an enemy", etc., but in fact, deep down they still know very well that having more competent and advanced equipment means that one day in the future, when they are going to play, the probability of defeating the enemy and coming back alive will increase exponentially.

This makes the soldiers train very energetically, after all, it is a matter of their own lives, especially at this time the pressure of war is still quite large, maybe the slogan "if there is war tomorrow" will soon become a reality, so this kind of good thing other troops can not ask for at that time.

The real big thing is what many people in the Airborne Forces were worried about at the beginning...... As more and more personnel are transferred in from other units, the airborne troops must begin to disarm, otherwise the base will soon face the problem of overcrowding and excessive logistical pressure.

"Commander, can this matter be discussed later!" In the conference room, Political Commissar Liu said to the army commander: "This happened too suddenly, not only are they not mentally prepared, but we are also not mentally prepared!" ”

"yes!" Regiment Commander Wu agreed: "These comrades are all good comrades, although they are a part of the eliminated, but in fact, compared with the soldiers of other troops, they can be regarded as very good, and they can even be said to be very good soldiers, most of them have been in our army for many years, and they have feelings for the troops, and now let them go ...... at once."

Commander Xu shook his head and interrupted Commander Wu's words: "I also understand this, some of them are my friends for more than ten years, as well as old subordinates. But first, they can't do anything here, and they can only clean their guns in the dormitory because of the shortage of training grounds, and second, this part of the soldiers has brought a lot of pressure on our base in terms of logistics and space, and you can see that there is not even enough canteen now, and there is a situation where they have to deliver meals to the dormitory or eat them in batches and time periods. What's more, this stretching out and shrinking the head is a knife, layoffs are a matter of time or time, and late layoffs are better than early cuts! ”

As soon as Commander Xu said this, everyone was silent, because everyone knew that Commander Xu was right, and disarmament was certain, and this was determined by the transformation of the airborne troops from pure infantry to a multi-arm composite force, and the extra infantry would obviously be useless to the airborne troops.

If so, then it is better to cut late than early...... Early layoffs are good for the troops, and good for the servicemen who have been laid off, because they have more time to find their own way in society after demobilization.

So the matter was decided in the oppressive silence of the cadres.

To say that this thing is difficult to do, but it is not difficult to do it at all, the eliminated fighters have actually been decided a long time ago, just like the training regiment, which people already know which people are unqualified in the selection stage, and this part of the people is ridiculed by them as "sentenced to death with a reprieve", that is, the meaning of waiting for "death" in the army is not carried out for the time being.

In fact, the soldiers in the army are very taboo to say such unlucky words, but they feel that it doesn't matter, according to their words, they will be demobilized soon, and they can't even count as soldiers, so what's taboo?!

Of course, there are some small adjustments in the process of training, as mentioned before, we will find some particularly good psychological talents among these eliminated fighters, and then we will eliminate some of them during training. But overall, it's pretty much stable so far.

Therefore, for us, this work is actually just a matter of making a roster by name, and then issuing demobilized military certificates and subsidies and so on.

But if it's simple, it's not that simple.

Not to mention anything else, when these fighters were convened for a meeting to do ideological work, as soon as Commander Xu said the decision on disarmament, the audience burst into tears.

But this kind of crying is silent, because they are still soldiers, they have not left the army, so they still sit upright on the chair in strict accordance with discipline and straighten upright, but the eyes are uncontrollably red, tears can't help but flow down, this time I can only see that Xu Junchang can't go on, he replied to his mood and tried to finish the words, but obviously this effort was unsuccessful, and finally had to sigh and turn his back to secretly wipe his tears.

"Comrades!" Seeing that Commander Xu could no longer preside over the meeting, the political commissar walked up to the microphone and said: "You are all good comrades, and at the same time, you are also very good soldiers, and the reason why you are leaving the army now is entirely because the army wants to carry out reforms and break the previous concept of administering the army with people as the main and spirit as the mainstay. In some ways, we are sorry for you, and we are ashamed ......"

"No, commissar!" At this time, the soldiers in the audience interrupted the words of the political commissar and replied in a non-verbal manner:

"It's as it should be, it's not good enough for us!"

"We support the policy of the state and the decision of the superiors!"

"We obey orders, and the troops have raised us for so many years, and we are ashamed of the troops!"

……

"They are all good comrades!" The political commissar took off his glasses and wiped the tears on them, nodded with emotion and continued: "Don't worry, we will try our best to transfer those who can be transferred to other units according to your situation, and those who can't be transferred will try our best to arrange a good job for you!" ”

But in fact, these words are somewhat unrealistic, transferred to other troops? The other troops were also in danger of disarmament at this time, and each person transferred meant that one more unit of their own troops had to be cut, so no one wanted to do that. As for work, many of these things have happened before, and employers don't like to use demobilized soldiers, and it is difficult for demobilized soldiers to integrate into society.

Yet even knowing this, the warriors replied:

"Thank you to the commissar, thank you to your superiors!"

"Please rest assured, Chief, we can take care of ourselves!"

……

I was also touched by this scene, because I did not expect these fighters to behave like this when faced with disarmament, and then I thought to myself, that they deserve to be called "the loveliest people"! (To be continued......)
