Life is full of travel (44) ·[Military Documentary**].
OriginalFollow Lao Xie to travel (veteran Lao Xie).
In August 1986, I was transferred from the Military Economic Academy to work in the 54th Group Army, and all the transfer procedures and living arrangements were arranged by Director Fan to help me handle the specific work, and I basically didn't worry too much.
The logistics department of the army group also fulfilled its promise to me. After I, a deputy battalion cadre, took office, I moved into the freshly painted regimental housing and installed a dormitory military line that only regimental cadres can enjoy.
I also have a separate ** installed on my desk, and the number is next to Director Fan's **, and before the other ** numbers in the War Service Department.
With this detail, Director Fan showed that I was highly valued here, and I was ranked high in several staff positions in the War Service Department.
After I was transferred from Wuhan, I didn't plan to let my family members come to Xinxiang City to work with the army, but I couldn't stand the enthusiastic Director Fan repeatedly doing ideological work for me. Perhaps he thinks that only by letting my family members join the army can I fundamentally solve my worries.
At that time, I also considered that as my daughter grew up, living in two places for a long time would bring more and more burdens to both husband and wife.
In the end, with the consent of his parents, it was decided to temporarily transfer Li Xiaofeng from his hometown to work near the army station. Later, according to the changing situation, we will reconsider the location of our small family.
Under the repeated operation of Director Fan, Li Xiaofeng was transferred from the supply and marketing system of his hometown city in eastern Henan to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Xinxiang City, and his work was arranged to work as an accountant in a bank office not far from the military department, and he was in the same unit as Director Fan's lover, Sister Tan.
My daughter was sent to the kindergarten of the group army, and Commander Zhu's daughter happened to be my daughter's preschool teacher.
Now, I can only settle down in the group army and carry out my work well.
Soon after I came to work in the 54th Army, I found that the characteristics of this unit were very different from those I had worked in before.
First, the members of this unit are very new and full of vitality.
The 54 th Group Army was integrated into part of the original 43 Army on the basis of the main units of the original 54 Army after the streamlining and reorganization of the troops in 1985. This newly formed composite combat unit is known as the "New Iron Army."
In this group army organ, most of the personnel, from the leaders of various departments to the directors of the departments, from the staff officers to the cadres of the detachments, have only been working in the group army for just one year. Moreover, the officers are generally younger, all of them are full of vigor and vigor, and the personnel are quite capable.
Second, the divisions and brigades under the group army are famous in history and have strong combat effectiveness.
The 54th Group Army is under the jurisdiction of three divisions and three brigades. In the case of the three infantry divisions, all of them have extraordinary backgrounds.
The 127th Division once had the title of "Iron Army Division" in the history of Siye. In the 1979 counterattack against Vietnam, under the leadership of Zhang Wannian, then division commander, he created a brilliant record of five battles and five victories, destroying 2,234 enemies. The 379 regiment under its jurisdiction is the famous "Ye Ting Independent Regiment".
The predecessor of the 160th Division was the 130th Division of the former Volunteer Army, which participated in the famous Jincheng Battle to Resist US Aggression and Aid KoreaIn 1962, he participated in the self-defense counterattack against India and suffered a heavy defeat to the 11th Brigade of the Indian ArmyIn February 1979, he participated in the counterattack against Vietnam and annihilated 854 enemies. This division is the only infantry division of our army that has participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the counterattack against India, and the counterattack against Vietnam.
The 162nd Division was adapted from the 135th Division of the 45th Army of the former Northeast Field Army, and participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. In 1963, it was listed as a combat readiness duty division by the ** Military Commission. In 1979, under the leadership of the then division commander Li Jiulong, he participated in the counterattack against Vietnam and destroyed 2,085 enemies. Historically, it is known as the "Tiger Division".
It can be said that the troops of the 54th Group Army have brought together the bloodline inheritance of the three main forces of the original Siye, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.
Third, the pace of work is fast, and the spirit of "innovation and change" is high.
After I came to this group army, I found that everyone, from the chief to the organ, was full of a kind of strength to compete and move upward.
Under the influence of the great tide of reform throughout the country and the whole army in those years, in the internal environment of the group army, "innovation and change" became a kind of spiritual pursuit and work goal for everyone.
The divisional, political, and rear ministries all seem to be secretly competing with each other. Working overtime to do things and striving to produce results has become a kind of work norm here.
Therefore, the pace of work and the state of work here are quite intense.
After I came to work here, I saw that the comrades in the war service department had to come to the office at night, in addition to going to and from work on time during the day. Under the leadership of Director Fan, they may hold meetings to discuss work, complete unfinished business during the day, or write some written materials. It wasn't until the lights out horn blew that they went back to their dormitories.
At first, I felt very uncomfortable with this way of working overtime, but I saw that the entire office building of the group army was brightly lit at night. Since everyone is like this, I can only slowly follow the local customs.
In October 1986, the 54 th Group Army organized the first large-scale exercise of organ units since the formation of the group army, codenamed the "541" campaign exercise, in an area bordering plains and mountains in northern Henan.
The personnel participating in the exercise were led by the leading organ of the group army to participate in the exercise, and the *** Brigade of the Army Aviation Regiment of the Jinan Military Region cooperated throughout the exercise.
Since I took up the post of staff officer, although I have participated in many large and small exercises of the troops, this is the first time I have participated in such a campaign exercise on the scale of a group army.
The formation of the exercise was an eye-opener for me.
As many as 100 command vehicles, communications vehicles, special operations vehicles, electronic jamming vehicles, and various support vehicles were used by the group army organs to drive into the exercise area.
When the exercise convoy left the urban area of Xinxiang, tens of thousands of people stopped on the roadside to watch the ......
Being in a drill team of this magnitude will give you a sense of glorious pride from the depths of your heart.
The logistical command post of the group army is set up in a plain area more than 10 kilometers away from the basic command post of the group army. The various specialized support groups and various working and living facilities in the command post are all deployed in semi-underground fortification groups temporarily excavated by the engineering units.
In this semi-underground logistics war room, which is more than 100 square meters, there is a huge magnetic map wall, and various red, blue, black and yellow magnetic team symbols are all over it.
Immediately next to the map wall, there is also a 200-inch projection screen, which displays the wartime images sent by the basic command post of the group army in real time.
On the other side of the war room, seven microcomputers are lined up as the data processing center of the logistics command post, which immediately opens a data exchange channel with the computers of the basic command post of the group army, and is responsible for the calculation of campaign logistics support data and the automatic generation of operational support documents.
Three radio stations and two encrypted fax machines are neatly arranged in a corner of the war room, and the operators are on duty 24 hours a day, receiving, reporting, and issuing various operational logistics orders and reporting battlefield information in real time.
Entering this logistics command post, one was greeted by a modern operational command atmosphere ......
The day after we entered the exercise area, the exercise officially began.
Early in the morning, Minister Yang and Director Fan were notified to hold a meeting at the basic command post of the group army.
Staff Officer Pan and Staff Officer Zhou and I were preparing for the upcoming logistics operations meeting at the logistics command post.
According to Director Fan's explanation, I sat in front of the encrypted fax machine, studying the report on the enemy situation that had just been transmitted from the basic command post for the exercise.
The circular shows that after the "Campaign Mobile Cluster" composed of mechanized divisions of the Blue Army quickly broke through the defense of our army's theater, it is inserting into the ...... of our defense
This blue army is skillful in tactics, fierce in attack, and maneuvering in a variety of directions, like a cunning "loach" burrowing in.
The higher authorities ordered our group army to adopt various means to encircle, pursue, and intercept this invading enemy, and completely annihilate it in the outer areas of our defense.
Looking at this briefing on the enemy situation, I deeply felt that this exercise was very different from the traditional exercise. It has broken the traditional pattern of offensive or defensive defense inherent in the past and embodied the latest characteristics of local wars in the contemporary world.
Such a blue army unit, relying on modern equipment and a combination of fast air-ground transport, and under the command and cooperation of satellite navigation and high-altitude reconnaissance planes, carried out fast entry and exit of the red side's defense deep area, and quickly attacked and withdrew.
After the combat objective is achieved, the battlefield is quickly withdrawn. By the time Red reacted, the cunning "loach" had already fled, ......
According to my analysis, the key to winning this battle is to find and hold this "loach" as soon as possible. In dealing with this invading enemy, we should adopt the tactics of countering speed with speed and attacking against attack.
It is necessary to use our army's various electronic information means to block the enemy's communication channels, use our army's various mobile tools to quickly meet the enemy, and concentrate superior forces to annihilate him.
Sure enough, after Minister Yang and Director Fan returned from attending the group army combat meeting, they conveyed the preliminary determination of the group army leaders to the campaign
The group army ordered its subordinate units to form a "bag-shaped campaign arrangement" and adopt the tactics of attacking in depth on the inner line, so as to completely annihilate the "mobile campaign group" that broke into our depth.
This method of operation has broken the traditional concept of offense and defense, and the depth of operations has expanded to the entire area from the rear edge of our campaign to the rear edge of the enemy's campaign layout.
However, the key problem of the campaign is that it is quite difficult to provide logistical support in this style of campaign.
One is that the support line is too long;
Second, the preset battlefield is highly variable;
Third, the direction of the main operations and support is unclear.
Therefore, it is difficult to grasp the focus of the group army's logistical support.
After careful discussions, Director Fan and several of our staff officers quickly formed several specific opinions on logistical support for the campaign, and I immediately compiled a simple manuscript and handed it to Director Fan.
In the logistics operations room of the group army, on the large screen projected, the real-time video of the terrain of the theater taken by the basic command post of the group army from the helicopter is being synchronized.
The computer network was transmitting the battle determination of the commander of the group army and the No. 1 combat order issued by the headquarters.
* Ringtones come and go, the radio station ticks constantly, and the encrypted fax machine indicator flashes ......
The exercise entered the stage of organizing campaign support.
The operational meeting of the logistics command post was held in such a tense atmosphere.
Director Fan spoke first, he briefly introduced the difficulty and characteristics of the logistical support of this campaign, and then analyzed:
The logistical support line for this campaign is 200 kilometers long, and if the logistics of the group army are deployed in echelons, the distance between the rear echelon, the front echelon, and the division logistics will greatly exceed the 30-40 kilometers stipulated in principle. Relying solely on a support channel from the sub-unit station, the group army logistics, and the division and brigade logistics is easily disturbed and blocked by enemy attacks, and is also affected by the changes in battlefield locations, which can easily lead to a time and space gap in logistics support, which will affect the outcome of the entire campaign. ”
As soon as Director Fan's voice fell, the venue suddenly boiled.
The directors of various divisions of the logistics department stood up one after another to speak, some stood in front of the magnetic drawing board and compared with the magnetic team mark, and some stood in front of the big screen in the war room to point, and everyone put forward their own opinions from different angles.
Director Fan then put forward the proposal for the logistics support of the campaign that we had agreed upon:
The logistics of the group army should be deployed in a mobile manner according to the direction and in echelons, and the main forces should be accompanied by the main forces to support the main operational direction. The left echelon of the forward can apply for support from friendly and neighboring military stations on the flank. ”
In order to enhance the independent and mobile support capabilities of logistics at all levels, group armies, divisions, and brigades should establish a rapid support team and give full play to the coordination and cooperation role of all forces on the battlefield and friendly and neighboring military stations. ”
Minister Yang stood up, paced to the board, and stated his determination in a calm and powerful tone
The logistical support for this campaign is very difficult, and the key is to break through the traditional logistical support methods, give full play to the best results of the overall support, and make up for the weak points with the strong points. ”
I agree with the logistical support proposal put forward by Director Fan of the War Service Division. ”
Then, he walked to the map, established the specific deployment location of each support detachment, and then instructed the chiefs of the participating sections:
The rapid support units established by group armies, divisions, and brigades should be mobilized to have the most capable forces, and the role of friendly and neighboring troops and local forces supporting the front should be brought into full play to form an overall joint force in logistics support. ”
He looked around the war room and continued
In this exercise, the logistics automation center should play an effective role and calculate the optimal amount of data for material support through computer analysis, especially the timely replenishment of ordnance and ammunitionMilitary supplies and oil supplies must be in place;The medical aid equipment attached to our department should give full play to the maximum efficiency of the evacuation of the wounded to ensure that every wounded person can receive timely treatment. ”
In the logistics automation center on one side of the war room, seven network computers entered the working state at the same time. The sound of the keyboard and the squeak of the printer merge into a symphony of special things.
At this moment, the operator was inputting into the computer the logistics chief's support determination and relevant data instructions formulated at the combat meeting just now, and the color display displayed "The computer is automatically generating combat documents......". A few minutes later, a multi-page and illustrated copy of the "Rear Order for the Offensive Campaign of the First Army of the Army" was printed out by the computer.
In the past, the preparation of a "rear order" and a "support plan" required a lot of manual labor on the staff officers. Now, after the computer has been set up with a "system for the automatic generation of rear combat documents," a "rear order" or "support plan" will be automatically generated and printed out within a few minutes after the commander's determination to provide logistical support is determined, and after further revision, it will be promptly distributed to the logistics of the subordinate units, thus greatly improving the efficiency of logistical support in wartime.
The reason why I have described to you here such a large scene of the logistics operations meeting is to explain that in the mid-80s of the last century, the 54 th Group Army set a precedent for exercises and began to embody the new characteristics of modern warfare command everywhere.
After the exercise entered the campaign implementation stage, I traveled with Minister Yang and Director Fan to all the logistics departments and detachments participating in the exercise.
We participated in and directed the opening and transfer of the field hospital on the spotThe field test of the first successive wounded war wounded ambulance effect;Experienced first-hand the use of field cooking vehicles in combat units;The cluster refueling efficiency of field refueling vehicles when the troops are rapidly advancing was investigated...... such as the battlefield deployment effect of field ordnance repair vehicles were assessed
During the exercise, the group army's determination to provide logistical support and the formulation of various support plans accurately grasped the determination and intention of the group army commander's campaign, effectively guaranteed the development of the entire exercise unit and the development of the campaign process, and was fully affirmed by the group army leader.
I also gained a lot from participating in this exercise.
After the exercise, I wrote a special report on the logistical support of the exercise: "Making a Deal with New Words," which was published in several military newspapers and magazines.
In connection with the practice of this exercise, the article "Using Microcomputers to Establish a Wartime Ammunition Management System" written by me was published in full in a military logistics academic journal.
In the days of the daily work of the 54 th Group Army, going deep into the frontline of the grassroots level of the army is the normal work of me, a combat staff officer.
According to my rough statistics, less than half of my working time in the group army organs every year is spent in the group army, and most of the remaining half of the time is spent following the chief to inspect the troops, or squatting at the grassroots level of the troops to carry out on-site work.
The three divisions and three brigades under the jurisdiction of the group army have become places where I often come and go.
I have been to all the regiment-level units distributed in northern and western Henan far more than once.
In addition, in addition to attending meetings with the Jinan Military Region and the General Headquarters and accompanying the inspection and investigation of higher-level departments, I spent far more time in other places than in Xinxiang City.
Although Li Xiaofeng and her daughter came to the army with the army, we still rarely see each other.
Fortunately, her work unit is not far from the military department, and it is relatively convenient and safe for the mother and daughter to live in the military compound, which also alleviates my worries to some extent.
Working in the 54th Group Army, although I was busy all day, I felt that every day was quite fulfilling and worthwhile.
In this vibrant community, you will feel that there are many meaningful things worth doing.
In the days when the artillery brigade was stationed, I wrote an article on work experience entitled "How to Lead the Area with Points in Grasping the Grassroots Logistics Construction of the Army", which was ** by the Logistics Department of the Jinan Military Region.
During the days when the 379th Regiment of the 127th Division was squatting, I stayed in the guest house of Ye Ting's Independent Regiment in history, and I lived for a month to write and direct a special documentary entitled "The Road to Reform" for this regiment. Through the form of video, the regiment showed vivid cases of how to do a good job in grassroots logistics training, and popularized it in various units of the group army.
During the days when the 160th Division was stationed, I worked with Section Chief Lang of the Division's War Logistics Section to sum up their experience in conscientiously implementing the logistics and combat readiness work of each regiment, which was later promoted by the Logistics Department of the Jinan Military Region.
In 1987, after serving two years in the deputy battalion, in order to promote me to the main battalion position in advance, my new post order was issued to the 160th Division Artillery Regiment as a political assistant in the logistics department.
However, less than two days after I went to work in this unit and reported for duty, I was urgently called back to work in the combat service department by the logistics department of the group army.
This year, another war on the border of the southwest plateau of our country is about to break out.
The 54 th Group Army is about to face a new battlefield test.
A larger-scale live-action exercise is ...... on the horizon
To be continued, stay tuned).
