The deputy dean broke the silence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Adjusting his sitting posture slightly, the vice dean coughed twice, and then said with a smile, "Today we are a discussion meeting, everyone can say whatever they want, don't be restrained, speak freely, and have a fierce collision of ideas." It's a good thing to have arguments!"

The motorized brigade commander immediately picked up and said, "Yes, brainstorming, everyone can speak freely, and don't have any burden." ”

The words of the two bigwigs set the tone for this seminar, you can talk about it, you can talk about it casually, and everyone knows that there is nothing wrong with this kind of low-level discussion, even if you say something wrong. On the contrary, such low-level discussions are more likely to hear the truth, because there are fewer scruples.

"I think this comrade's speech is very good, well, I suggest that this comrade continue to speak and show everyone the way. The political commissar of the motorized infantry brigade said with a smile, looked at the deputy dean and the brigade commander, and had the intention of inquiring.

The vice president immediately bowed his head slightly, and pointed at Li Mu: "Li Mu, you continue." ”

The vice president had his own thoughts in his heart, and before there was a clear decision above, there were some things that he said that were not appropriate, and if the students said them, even if it was a bad thing, it would become a good thing. As a senior instructor of the Army's Middle-level Commander Training College, he has studied the reform of the Army's military establishment for so many years, and the vice president actually has a lot of experience.

Among so many students, Li Mu's point of view is closest to his point of view, so he pointed out Li Mu and asked him to speak first, so that the discussion would smell of gunpowder, and there would be a real discussion with dry goods, rather than something formal.

It was November 18, and the discussion was also called the November 18 discussion by the participants, and most of the grassroots cadres who participated in the meeting became pragmatic young and strong officers who were determined to carry out the establishment reform.

Undoubtedly, Li Mu, the focus on the field at this time, began to be recognized and remembered by more people.

Li Mu sorted out his thoughts a little and began to continue, "Thank you, chief. What I would like to talk about can be roughly divided into two points: first, the issue of weaponry and equipment, and second, the issue of troop establishment. Let's start with the first point. ”

"The unit I served in before was a certain brigade airborne battalion, and seeking truth from facts, I will talk about it based on the reform and construction of the airborne battalion. As you all know, we are engaged in an air assault force, and this concept has existed for a long time, but the actual construction of the force is proceeding very slowly, and the main problem, or the biggest hardware shortage, is the development of weapons and equipment, to be precise, helicopters. ”

"Starting from the import of the civilian version of the Black Hawk helicopter from the United States in the eighties, our army came into contact with the world's advanced helicopters. Later, the French Dolphin helicopter and the Bumblebee helicopter were introduced one after another, because for some reason, China's introduction of foreign trap helicopter technology has been greatly hindered, so that up to now, the main helicopters of the three armed forces are based on the French Dolphin and the Hornet developed from the domestic model. It is the Z-9 and Z-8 that we are familiar with. After the normalization of Sino-Russian relations, a large number of Mi-17 series helicopters began to be introduced, mainly to equip army aviation units. The general-purpose helicopters we use now can be said to be only the Mi-17 series. I will not specifically talk about the issue of installing helicopters here, but in general, neither the Z-9 nor the Z-8 are suitable for equipping air assault troops. More importantly, the design ideas of these two aircraft models were from the 70s of the last century, and they are far behind today's operational concepts, and they cannot meet the needs of reality, let alone meet the needs of future operations. ”

"Therefore, until the new attack helicopters and general-purpose helicopters come out, the construction of our army's air assault forces will always maintain a slow development trend. Of course, the new helicopter is being intensified, and the new attack helicopter is already intensively testing flights. There is only one issue that must be taken seriously, and even if it is only to equip an air assault battalion, at least 30 helicopters will be required. In other words, according to the current size of the army aviation, in fact, one army aviation brigade can barely meet the operational needs of an air assault battalion. ”

After a pause, Li Mu picked up the water on the table and took a sip, then took the microphone and continued to say calmly, "I will not talk about other related issues here, but only express my personal views on the establishment of the troops. To put it simply, the air assault force uses the characteristics of helicopters to launch a continuous leapfrog attack tactic. Please note that the frog jumping offensive tactics we practiced before were not air assaults in the true sense, and now all the airborne battalions of our army do not have real air assault capabilities. The real air assault is continuous and runs through the entire course of the campaign, which means that the air assault unit must have independent combat support capabilities, intelligence acquisition capabilities, and complete command and control capabilities. From this point of view, all the helicopter models in service with the Army Aviation Units, IMHO, are not suitable models. First of all, the reconnaissance and attack models developed based on the Z-9 are not professional functional helicopters because of the design of the models. The Mi-17 series is a product of Lao Maozi in the 60s, although our military industry has made substantial improvements, but it is still the same sentence, the design has lagged behind for decades, and no matter how it is changed, it cannot meet the requirements of combat missions in the new period. ”

Everyone listened very carefully, and the more they listened, the calmer they became, and the two things that were clear in their hearts and those who put these issues directly on the table for discussion were completely different.

Li Mu's words did not leave any mercy, and every word hit the soft underbelly of the army troops, especially the equipment of the army aviation troops.

After a slight pause, so that everyone had a time to digest, Li Mu continued to talk, "The second aspect is the establishment of troops. In my opinion, the armament is that if it is a gun in the hand, then the troop formation is a flesh-and-blood torso. At present, the establishment of our infantry units is still the same as the old-fashioned, and the arms are independently trained and managed. Infantry is one thing, artillery is another, and even those armed with heavy machine guns are separate into a single machine gun company. This kind of preparation is very backward. What is needed in this area is to make a great determination to carry out major surgery on the formation, and the resistance is the traditional combat mentality. Personally, I believe that the research and development of weapons and equipment should respect the characteristics of scientific research, and the reform of the compilation method mainly depends on human will. Breaking the current organizational pattern, in the case of infantry battalions, machine gun companies and artillery companies do not need to exist independently, and all of them are organized into infantry companies according to the formation of fighters, and anti-chemical troops and ground artillery are added to form a combat company in the true sense. ”

"The advantage of the current establishment is that it is convenient for day-to-day management, especially logistical support; if all of them are broken up to form a combat company with a high degree of integration of multiple arms, and management and training are all together, it will inevitably increase the pressure on logistical support. However, now that our logistical support capability has been greatly improved, and this road will be taken sooner or later, I believe that no matter how great the difficulties are, we must continue to implement them. Before the new type of weapons and equipment is put into service, the reform of the establishment of troops, especially the ground component, should be completed first. ”

Glancing slightly at the leaders on the rostrum, and finding that they didn't mean to stop, Li Mu thought for a moment and continued...... (To be continued.) )
