Chapter 194 The exercise is coming! The military reform that changed history! [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!]
"Captain Chang, long time no see!"
At the gate of the 347th Regiment’s base, Huang Zheng, who finally “knew” that he had to register, greeted Chang Dingfang who came to greet him with a smile.
Behind Huang Zheng was a winding convoy, carrying many staff officers from the army and division headquarters.
That’s right, this group of people are the “referees” of this exercise.
Huang Zheng, who had just left the 347th Regiment with the "reluctant" farewell of company commanders and Chang Dingfang a month ago, has now transformed himself into the "chief referee" of this exercise!
As his identity changed, Huang Zheng's treatment also changed.
The last time he came, Huang Zheng was pointed at by Zhao Weihong with a loaded Type 81 rifle, and he almost peed his pants in fright.
This time, not only did no one point a gun at him, even the regiment commander Chang Dingfang came out to greet him in person!
All of a sudden, Huang Zheng had a wonderful feeling of "the emancipated serfs singing", how could he describe it in just one word: cool!
"hehe."
"Not long."
Seeing the smile on Huang Zheng's face that couldn't be concealed at all, Chang Dingfang knew what he was thinking, and immediately said to him with a forced smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, Deputy Director Huang. When did you arrive in Linming?"
"You guys did a great job keeping this secret. I didn't know anything about it!"
"You must be exhausted from hiding in the mountains, right?"
"That's okay. I think Director Huang should be used to this kind of life."
Chang Dingfang also deliberately added emphasis on the word "Huang", which obviously had a specific meaning.
It’s no wonder that Chang Dingfang was angry.
Chang Dingfang had just learned about the exercise from Zhou Kehu.
Huang Zheng called right after, and in less than half an hour, he arrived at the base. It was obvious that he had arrived in Linming a long time ago, but had been hiding from them.
After realizing this, Chang Dingfang, who had just been scolded by Zhou Kehu, was so angry that his teeth were itching!
You son of a bitch, "weasel!"
Didn’t Wei Hong give you a little boost in strength when you came to our group?
You did this to me right in front of the old captain. You want to make me look bad, right?
I bother!
What a petty thing!
He looked at Huang Zheng with contempt.
Chang Dingfang's expression was filled with deep disdain for Huang Zheng.
But this time, Chang Dingfang really misunderstood Huang Zheng.
Exercises, as an important means of testing the combat effectiveness of troops in peacetime, have three elements.
Real soldiers, live ammunition, and confrontation.
Of these three elements, at most two may exist at the same time, depending on the needs of the exercise.
The "live-fire confrontation exercise" is the most expensive, largest-scale, and most dangerous exercise type.
In the entire 39th Army Group, only Commander Zhou Kehu is qualified to make the final decision on confrontation exercises between regimental units.
Huang Zheng, a "small" deputy director of training, obviously does not have the power to decide such an important matter.
In fact, this happened long before Huang Zheng led the team to conduct the surprise inspection.
Zhou Kehu decided to conduct a live-fire confrontation exercise.
Except for the 79th Special Operations Regiment, there was another unit participating in the exercise, and even Zhou Kehu didn't know who it was until the inspection was over.
The reason why Zhou Kehu decided to conduct such an exercise was very simple.
That is to select a unit with excellent work style and quality from within the 39th Army Group as the key construction unit after the reform!
Although many units of the 39th Army Group will send off a considerable number of veterans by the end of the year.
However, the elite soldiers transferred from several disbanded group armies are enough to make up for these personnel losses and even enhance their combat effectiveness!
As the current commander of the 39th Army Group.
Zhou Kehu knew much more "inside information" about this reform than anyone else!
On the surface, this institutional restructuring, also known as "reform", is just an ordinary plan to reduce staff and layoffs.
But in fact, the importance of this reform is no less than any military reform in the history of Yan State!
Because after the reform, a considerable portion of the funds saved will be invested in the construction of the navy and air force!
This means that Yan State has realized the new demands of modern warfare and is determined to abandon its long-standing "continentalism" and instead build a navy and air force that meets the needs of modern warfare!
Ten years for the Air Force, a hundred years for the Navy.
Even those who know nothing about military affairs are aware of the difficulty of developing the navy and air force.
It is conceivable how difficult it is for Yan Country to catch up and build a world-class navy and air force from a nearly "zero" foundation!
But no matter how difficult it is.
Yan Country will never give up its determination to build a strong navy and air force!
Because this is the necessity of modern warfare, and it is also the only way for Yan Country to achieve great rejuvenation!
Against this backdrop of determination and limited military spending.
This means that the Yan Country’s army must make sacrifices!
And this military reform may just be the beginning!
Even Zhou Kehu was not sure whether the 39th Group Army, which was now retained, would become another unit to be disbanded in the future!
As the head of the group, Chang Dingfang was very reluctant to lay off his own staff and was slow to make a decision. In the end, he needed Zhao Weihong's help. Zhou Kehu criticized Chang Dingfang's mentality and believed that he was not "conscious."
But if it were Zhou Kehu, his performance would be even more exaggerated than Chang Dingfang!
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation from happening.
Zhou Kehu must plan ahead and make the 39th Army a modern land force!
After all, no matter how important the navy and air force are, the army cannot be absent in modern warfare.
Most of the military expenditure saved from the reform will be invested in the construction of the navy and air force.
But the navy and air force cannot eat too much, and they have to leave some for the army.
This provided convenience for Zhou Kehu to develop his troops.
What determines the combat effectiveness of a unit?
It's nothing more than personnel and equipment.
As for personnel, the 39th Army has veterans transferred from other army groups, so there is no need to worry!
As for the equipment, Zhou Kehu had to fight for the military funds from the navy and air force.
Although it’s not much, it’s enough to build a regiment-level unit!
Zhou Kehu wants to set up a pilot development unit for the Yan State Army, which will become a benchmark for the future development of the entire Yan State Army!
At the same time, it will drive the development of the entire 39th Army Group, and make the 39th Army Group a benchmark for the Yan Country’s Army without having to worry about being disbanded!
However, Zhou Kehu was unable to make a direct decision on which regiment would take on the task of becoming the pilot unit.
Because the 39th Army Group was originally a unit full of glorious history, and was hailed as "the top combat force of the East Field Army."
Any regiment under his command has made outstanding achievements.
If the ownership of this pilot unit is decided based on honors, it may take a year to figure it out.
It is for this reason that the 347th Regiment had to undergo the previous inspection and this sudden exercise!
Before the start of these two operations, they were all kept highly confidential, with the intention of testing the true face of each unit through "surprise attacks"!
In addition to the 347th Regiment, four other units that performed well in the surprise inspection will also participate in this exercise.
The reason why Huang Zheng was sent to the 79th Regiment was actually to “give advice”!
After all, Huang Zheng had just finished an inspection of various units and knew the conditions of each unit very well!
It can be said that it is the perfect choice to ask him to help the 79th Regiment to develop an exercise plan!
During the inspections and exercises, the regiment-level units with the best overall performance will become the pilot units of the entire 39th Army Group in the future!
Good soldiers and equipment will be supplied by this unit.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "son" of the entire 39th Army Group!
To be honest, the 347th Regiment, which was able to compete for the pilot unit spot, and its leader Chang Dingfang should thank Huang Zheng!
But Chang Dingfang doesn't know the inside story now.
He also felt that Huang Zheng was just trying to make their 347th Regiment look bad because of what happened last time!
Looking at Huang Zheng's fake smile, Chang Dingfang suddenly became furious and immediately shouted at the person beside him with gritted teeth!
"Come on, Wei Hong!"
"Say hello to Director Huang Shu Huang!"
"Director Huang, you shouldn't have forgotten Wei Hong, right?"
"Since you left, Wei Hong has missed you so much!"
Following Chang Dingfang's call, Zhao Weihong, who was deliberately called by Chang Dingfang, immediately stepped forward and saluted Huang Zheng meticulously.
"Hello, Deputy Director Huang!"
See this.
Huang Zheng's originally extremely bright smile froze on his face for a moment.
"."
"okay."
Huang Zheng returned the salute to Zhao Weihong in a panic. He no longer had the intention to "show off" to Chang Dingfang and hurriedly said.
"Hey, Captain Chang, shall we go in?"
mock up!
I still can’t cure you?
Glancing at Huang Zheng with great pride, Chang Dingfang nodded, and finally made way for the convoy to lead to the base.
Seeing this, Huang Zheng didn't dare to say a word. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurried towards his special car.
The moment he returned to the car, Huang Zheng immediately instructed his staff!
"Say hello to everyone!"
"During the exercise, don't think of yourself as a high and mighty referee!"
"However you behave in front of the commander, you should behave the same way in the 347th Regiment!"
"Three people in a row, two people in a line, take care of yourselves, and don't embarrass our jury!"
The other staff officer in the car was obviously puzzled by Huang Zheng's earnest advice.
".Director, why?"
"We are the referees of this exercise!"
"Are you so nervous?"
Hearing this, Huang Zheng did not explain in detail, but closed his eyes. After a long while, he said with some sadness that he could not bear to look back!
"What?"
"Because the 347th Regiment has a fucking father!"
The second update is here for today!
