Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Chapter 181 Three Giants Night Chapter!

Just when Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were at a loss as to the selection of regimental commanders and fighters, Chen Yan, based on the current management model, surprisingly proposed the concept of flattening the army.

"Flat management? What does that mean?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang suddenly became interested in this new term.

Zhao Gang had long discovered that Chen Yan's ideas were always trendy, and he often came up with original ideas. He had always been curious and asked him several times where he learned from, but Chen Yan just smiled and said nothing. Finally, he got used to it.

Chen Yan looked at their curious eyes and said patiently:

“Flat management means reducing management levels and thus improving troop management efficiency.

Whether it is the army or the country, it adopts the traditional pyramid-top thinking management model, which can gradually reduce the work pressure of each management level.

However, once the organizational structure becomes increasingly large and the number of levels increases, it will increase the complexity of the superiors' management of the subordinates, leading to undesirable results such as inefficiency and poor communication of instructions.

Chen Yan looked at the two people with increasingly confused eyes, and finally said helplessly:

"Let me put it more bluntly. Considering the current situation of the troops, if we can't find a suitable regimental commander, then we can just not have him. The three of us can directly command the battalion-level combat units across levels."

Chen Yan's proposal of the flat management concept is not groundless. In the process of modernization of the Chinese military, brigade-level combat units were replaced, and later the construction of "division-to-brigade" was implemented based on actual needs. These are actually changes in management models.

Taking into account that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang have no experience in managing division and brigade-level combat units, coupled with the current tight schedule, heavy tasks, and the special situation of military factory construction, there is no extra time for the two to fight monsters and level up experience.

Hearing what Chen Yan said, Li Yunlong became a little restless and kept scratching his head anxiously.

"Chen'er, why are you always different from others? You love to cause trouble.

Now you and Lao Zhao are both deputy division-level cadres. Although I, Lao Li, have made slow progress, I am still a brigade commander after all. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to let the three of us directly command battalion-level combat units?

Then what role do I, Old Li, play? The head of the group?

And he has to manage more than 20 camps, how can he be so tired?"

Listening to Li Yunlong's complaints, Chen Yan smiled without getting angry.

"Old Li is right. Flat management has indeed put pressure on the three of us. But we still have a lot of suitable candidates at the battalion level who can help us share the pressure.

Although it is called battalion-level, it actually means training future regimental-level cadres in actual combat. As long as the time is right, we can always form a battalion-to-regiment transformation model. This model is very flexible and changeable.

Moreover, flat management is actually breaking the troops into smaller units, which is very suitable for us to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains in the future. Because the team is very mobile, if the battalion commander is selected properly, it will not be too tiring to manage. "

Ever since Zhao Gang got into a fight with Chen Yan and Li Yunlong, he learned to smoke, drink and swear very quickly. When he was drunk, he didn't look like a refined college student at all.

“I understand what Chen Er said, that is, I used to manage a regiment, but now I manage three battalions.

The troops made three consecutive leaps, from a regiment to a column. Not to mention the lack of excellent commanders and fighters, just among the three of us, who has the experience in managing large-scale troops?

I think this flat management solution does effectively avoid this problem.

However, if a flat management model is implemented, will the report to the superiors be submitted to promote Li San and Da Biao to the position of group leader?"

Chen Yan took a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table, lit it, and extinguished the match.

"Those of us who have served in the military and fought in wars all know that regimental-level troops are the largest combat units, while division-level troops are the smallest combat units, so we must have regimental-level combat units.

This is what I think about the column's structure. First of all, the column is composed of three units: independent brigade, mixed brigade and joint logistics support battalion.

First of all, the independent brigade will be built according to the model of a Type A brigade with three regiments. In addition to Li San and Da Biao, we will also recruit talents from other units in the future. In this way, a standard combat brigade will be formed.

Lao Zhao concurrently serves as the brigade commander, and the main task of the independent brigade is to provide security and defense for the headquarters.

The second is to form a mixed brigade, which is different from the Japanese army's mixed brigade.

It consists of 15 reinforced battalions, each with 500 men, and the mixed brigade has a full strength of 7500 men. Lao Li is in charge of the mixed brigade, and all the key personnel under our command will be transferred to Lao Li.

At this time, Chen Yan looked up at Li Yunlong and said with a cunning smile:

15 reinforced battalions, Lao Li, do you still feel wronged now? These people are all living bandits, what will be their combat effectiveness in the future? I won’t say more.

You can also freely set the types of soldiers in the combat battalion, such as artillery battalion, 60 fire battalion, machine gun battalion, whatever you want, depending on your mood. "

Hearing this, Lao Li's mouth stretched to his ears.

“I don’t feel wronged. Besides, even if I feel wronged, I, Lao Li, am not the kind of person who would complain to the organization.

15 battalions fighting guerrilla warfare are enough for me to wreak havoc in northwestern Shanxi.

MD, it feels so good! "

At this time, Chen Yan reminded: "However you want to play, I won't stop you.

But you have to remember that your mixed brigade is mainly designed to cope with the changing situation in the future, and mainly relies on guerrilla warfare."

Lao Li made an OK gesture and said, "Chen'er, don't worry.

What is guerrilla warfare? My understanding is that I just swim around and fight as I please. Then the commander-in-chief won’t be able to do anything to me, hahahaha..."

Li Yunlong laughed wildly, and Chen Yan could see the leek dumplings he had eaten in the evening through his throat.

“Well, just don’t make it too big, I’m here with the commander-in-chief.

Third, establish a joint logistics support brigade with a strength of 4000 people.

In addition to being responsible for the production of military factories, its work direction also requires it to take on many aspects of the column, such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc. To put it bluntly, it is the logistics department of the column.

Once we move into the mountains in the future, we will face a difficult situation of lack of clothing and food. Especially at this time, we need centralized management and rational allocation of resources. The Joint Logistics Support Brigade will be directly managed by me.

After listening to Chen Yan's introduction, Zhao Gang couldn't stop praising him.

"I didn't expect Chen Er to have thought so thoroughly. I, Old Zhao, am really impressed.

Lao Li is good at fighting. If you give him 15 battalions, he will definitely cause chaos in the northwest of Shanxi. I am a cautious person. It is very appropriate for you to let me protect the headquarters, and Chen'er..."

Although Chen Yan looked calm and composed, he laughed out loud in his heart.

Why do you stop here? Lao Zhao, you don’t have to be polite.

Keep praising!

"Chen Er is a shameless person, so such a person is perfect for logistics."

"Old Zhao, your summary is brilliant. A shameless person is invincible.

This Chen'er is suitable, very suitable, hahaha...".
