"What a saying is war without waiting for anyone!" Commander Xu praised: "Battleman Yang said it is right, and what Staff Xu said has some truth, but now is an extraordinary period. There are Vietnamese Japanese in southern Xinjiang fighting with us, and northern Xinjiang.
Another Soviet devil was looking down on us, and in this case there was no extra time to slowly transform. As Battalion Commander Yang said, if a war broke out tomorrow, if we need to airborne troops tomorrow
What to do on the battlefield? Can we still say no? We can still tell our superiors to the enemy that it still needs time to train? So I support Battalion Commander Yang's point of view. This reform must be carried out drastic. Do you have any different opinions?"
Since Commander Xu has made this statement, other cadres, like Staff Xu and others, have to keep their opinions in mind. So the cadres in the conference room quickly made statements one after another:
"No objection!"
“Agree!”
...
So this matter was settled, and I also knew one thing: our synthetic battalion is likely to become an enemy of the airborne troops.
After the meeting, Commander Xu kept Zhao Jingping and me.
"Captain Yang!" Commander Xu handed me and Zhao Jingping a cup of tea, and said, "At the meeting just now, if there is something unpleasant about words, don't take it to your heart! The soldiers' words
I just like to go straight."
"The commander is so serious!" I said: "I didn't think about this matter clearly. I didn't expect it to be directly related to the issue of airborne troops' disarmament. On this aspect, I'm really guilty!"
"Hey!" Commander Xu waved his hand and said, "I had already made it clear at the meeting just now. It's not your business, it's the problem of our airborne troops themselves. But many comrades didn't understand this,
The resentment is just about you. Don’t worry. In this regard, we will do a good job in ideological work for our comrades and ensure that no one will make things difficult for you!”
"I'm not worried that someone will make things difficult for us!" I said, "There are troops' disciplines, and our synthetic battalion has rolled out of the battlefield several times. The Japanese invaders are not afraid of them, but they are afraid of comrades? I'm a little worried...
If the soldiers of the airborne troops have opinions about us, they will have the previous resistance. Then it will be difficult for our training to develop!”
"Well!" I nodded when Chief Xu heard this: "I didn't expect this, but don't worry, we will solve the problem of ideological work clearly!"
I believe Commander Xu can do it because the reason is very simple. This airborne unit was formed by party members, backbone, and troops fighting in Shangganling. Their characteristics are their positive thinking and high political awareness. In addition to the political commissar and instructor, they are characterized by their positive thinking and positive political awareness.
It is not easy for the instructor to create an ideological atmosphere or trend in the entire army.
But in this era, it is not difficult to form a trend of thought across the country.
"Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" Then Commander Xu said to me meaningfully: "From the beginning, I knew that the road to reform would not be smooth. The problem we encountered in front of us may be just a little storm, and there will be more storms in the future.
What I hope is that you and your synthesis battalion can treat yourself as a member of the airborne force, and not as an outsider. Otherwise, you will easily have the mentality of passive slacking off, and eventually
It leads to stagnation on the road to reform!”
I was a little embarrassed when Commander Xu said this, because I did have this kind of "passive slacking off" idea at the meeting just now, that is, "I just need to take good care of the synthetic battalion, regardless of how your airborne troops are."
.
I think this is also what Commander Xu said, hoping that I can treat myself as a member of the airborne troops. If it weren’t for outsiders, I would look at the problem from the perspective of ownership.
"Of course!" Then Commander Xu patted my shoulder and said, "The nature of things is often mutual. Our airborne troops will not regard your synthesized battalion as outsiders. I will firmly support your training and reform.
Like what I did at the conference today, if anyone can’t get along with your synthesis camp, I, Xu Jiaqin, can’t let him go!”
"Yes!" I stood up and responded.
I thought I couldn't tell that this Commander Xu had a bit of brotherly loyalty in the world.
Commander Xu was indeed a person who did what he said. In his subsequent training and life, he never regarded our Synthetic Battalion as an outsider. This was felt by the soldiers of our Synthetic Battalion the next day.
The next day, Commander Xu held a meeting. Those who attended the meeting were cadres of all sizes, including from the commanders to every platoon leader, and sat neatly on the playground.
Commander Xu stood on the rostrum, holding a loudspeaker and cursing loudly: "Recently, an unhealthy wind has appeared in our army, and everyone regards the Synthetic Battalion as their enemies. I want me to say that the Synthetic Battalion is here to save your lives.
.You are repaying grudges and revenge! Do you think the synthetic camp is coming, so we are threatened with disarmament? But have you ever thought about what we are doing in the army? Have you ever thought about what our airborne troops do?
We are going to fight, and we have to airborne to the rear of the enemy to fight. If the Synthetic Battalion did not come to our army for training today and our airborne troops did not carry out reforms, then we will feel comfortable now, and everyone is sleeping in bed.
You can also be arrogant in front of other troops in the heroic army. But what if we go to the battlefield to fight the Vietnamese Japanese tomorrow? What about going to fight the Soviet Japanese Japanese?
what to do?
We need to have no equipment and quality, so how can we fight against the enemy? What should we fight against the enemy?
You have also communicated with veterans who have fought wars and also know what the situation of the Yue Japanese is like. How confident do you think you can beat the Yue Japanese?!"
This kind of "bara" training has been a lot of times, and it is improvised without any drafts. This makes me a little admire the eloquence of Commander Xu.
Isn't this? All the cadres in the audience were ashamed.
After the training of Chief Xu, he was the political commissar, and the truth was similar, but Chief Xu started from the perspective of reality, while the political commissar entered the perspectives of advanced nature and corrected thoughts of party members.
So when these two people said this, whether from the perspective of reality or from the perspective of thought, what our synthetic battalion is doing is helping the airborne troops, not the so-called culprit of disarmament.
And that's not all. After the conference is held, group discussions will be conducted, that is, ideological education is carried out on the first level of the instructor in the camp. After the education is completed, criticism and self-criticism are carried out among the grassroots soldiers at the first level of the instructor. Finally,
You also need to write down your experience...
Not to mention, this set is really effective in this era, because after the meeting, many airborne soldiers came to our army to apologize:
"Comrade, I'm sorry, it's because we didn't see the essence of things clearly!"
"Sorry, from now on, our comrades in the fifth company will firmly support the training of the synthetic battalion and firmly obey the arrangements of superiors. Even if they are laid off, they will have no regrets!"
...
That's not all, the soldiers also received many guarantee letters, apology letters, etc., which made the soldiers of the Synthetic Battalion feel a little disgusted.
After that, we had another party, and soon the soldiers who were airborne troops were even more enthusiastic about us than before.
Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: People from this era, soldiers from this era, their simple and cute side will never be understood by us modern people.
After the ideological problems were solved, the preliminary preparations for military training were quickly launched.
Because we are going to form a new training regiment with a total of up to thousands of people, and it also includes the selection and mobilization of multiple troops such as infantry, artillery, helicopters and even armored units, so the preparation work is quite complicated.
Fortunately, I have a staff team composed of more than a dozen staff members, and these staff teams are staff members from various related troops, very familiar with their own troops, and with the full cooperation of the airborne troops, so this work
It went very smoothly. All the work has been completed in just a few days.
