Gao Xiaoshan and Zhang Xiaoping did not think that Meng Yuting was not good enough. Since Meng Yuting and the others joined, the progress of the mercenary group has been obvious to all, and they have already admired the military quality and commanding ability of these officers.
All the officers in the first detachment, including Miaohua, humbly learn from these officers when they have time.
And Meng Yuting and the others knew that these people were all Zhou Wen's old brothers, not to mention they were all masters of the military king level that they were convinced by. That would be a big help, so the two sides could be said to have been getting along well in the past two months.
A deep friendship was established.
But long-standing habits have to be changed all of a sudden, and the mind can't turn around for a while.
Zhou Wen said nonchalantly: "When an army is fighting, it only needs to listen to one person's voice. If there are too many people speaking, it will easily cause confusion.
I know my abilities very well. You have the right to make suggestions regarding the strategic development direction of our mercenary group. In the end, of course, I have the final say.
But when it comes to commanding a battlefield with thousands of people, I'm not as good as you two.
The so-called skill has specialization.
What's more, my strength is commanding and participating in special operations. I can't have the energy to take care of the entire battlefield, so I need a brain. When I need support, when I need firepower, when I need to respond, this brain can do it.
Make instant judgment and provide timely assistance.
Moreover, this brain communicates with all parties at the command headquarters and can understand the overall situation of the battle through various intelligence and battle reports. That is, judging and observing the entire battlefield from a higher perspective, the judgment of the battlefield and fighter aircraft will be more clear.
Accurate and reliable
It is impossible for me to get all kinds of intelligence at any time when leading a detachment, and naturally I cannot issue the most correct orders. If you wait until your intelligence and judgment are sent to me, and then I order the entire army, it will be a waste of time and complicated tasks.
Can we still fight a war if we don’t have command procedures? That’s a joke with the lives of thousands of brothers.
Therefore, we need this brain to make the quickest response to different situations at any time, and to adjust the time and place where our assault force goes into battle at any time."
Having said this, Zhou Wen looked at Meng Yuting and Chen Wanli solemnly and said: "Now, the brains I need are you, Brother Yuting and Brother Wanli, you are the brains of our mercenary group on the battlefield.
Regardless of the military qualities you possess or the talents you displayed during this training period, it has fully demonstrated that you can do this job well and can shoulder this important task.
You now have a certain understanding of special operations and the combat characteristics of the first detachment. Moreover, both the first detachment and the second detachment are part of our mercenary group as a whole. How to make this whole unit play its due role, I think.
You will do better than me.
When the time comes, not only will the first team strictly abide by the orders of Brother Yu Ting, the former enemy commander, but I, Zhou Wen, will also definitely obey."
Hearing Zhou Wen's straightforward and sincere words, Meng Yuting felt a surge of blood in his heart. What does it mean to be extraordinary, what does it mean to know people well and what is the most ideal officer? This young man in front of him is younger than himself.
That is, a feeling of dying for a confidant lingers in my heart.
In fact, Meng Yuting had worries about this before. Of course he hoped that Zhou Wen would stay in the headquarters during the battle, so that he and Chen Wanli could do their job as deputies and staff officers, but Zhou Wen had already made it clear
He has to lead a detachment to fight, and it is true that a detachment can only exert its strongest combat effectiveness under his personal command.
This brings about a big problem, which is the cumbersome and complicated command.
Generally speaking, low-level commanders in the army have to fight on the front line, such as platoon commanders, company commanders, and even battalion commanders. Therefore, low-level officers have a high probability of casualties on the battlefield.
However, mid-level officers at the level of regiment commander and brigade commander generally cannot easily go to the front line of battle, let alone senior officers at the level of division commander and corps commander.
Why? Are they afraid of death when they become officials?
Actually no, but their responsibilities determine that they cannot go to the front line in person, because with more troops under command, you need to stand at a higher height to observe and judge the battlefield situation, and make timely tactics that are beneficial to your own side.
To adjust, you need to receive combat intelligence from each battlefield at any time and make analysis and decisions.
The various radio stations and telephones in the headquarters, as well as staff officers at all levels, messengers, etc., are the information output and input channels through which the commander receives battlefield information and makes judgments, and at the same time issues new orders to various battlefields in a timely manner.
The judgments made and the orders issued by the commander are related to the success or failure of a battle or even a battle, and are related to the lives of thousands of soldiers, so commanders generally have to stick to their headquarters.
If the commander does not stay at the headquarters, but rushes to the front line with a gun to fight, there can only be two situations:
One is that all the troops have been defeated or dispersed, and there is no need for any command. It is time to go forward and fight the enemy desperately.
There is also a situation where at a critical moment of life and death, when there is a narrow encounter and the brave one wins, no command is needed. The commander only needs to stand on the front line, share life and death with the soldiers, and inspire and enhance the morale and courage of the soldiers.
In later movies and TV dramas, regiment commanders and brigade commanders often go to the front line to lead the battle. In the end, they are scolded by their superiors, but they also vaguely appreciate their bravery. It is basically impossible to leave the command post.
All military officers have committed irresponsible dereliction of duty and shall be punished by military law.
That's why Meng Yuting felt a little worried about the command of the upcoming battlefield. He had no ambition to serve as a front-line commander himself. He just hoped that Zhou Wen could sit at the headquarters, so as to ensure the speed and convenience of the command system.
Now, Zhou Wen opened up the issue and said that this kind of trust and respect for trusting one's family and life made Meng Yuting moved, and completely admired and admired Zhou Wen. At the same time, he also felt that this person on his shoulders
A heavy burden and responsibility.
He knew that there was no room for any prevarication or politeness at this time, and that this was the only solution at the moment.
After Meng Yuting and Chen Wanli looked at each other, they both stood at attention and said loudly to Zhou Wen: "Thank you for your trust, sir. I dare not obey my orders despite my humble position."
Zhou Wen was also very pleased in his heart. You must know that being the battlefield commander of the mercenary group is not an easy task. He carries the trust and respect of Zhou Wen, the founder and soul of the mercenary group, as well as the thousands of people in the mercenary group.
The lives and fortunes of many officers and soldiers were entrusted to them, and they also shouldered a heavy battlefield responsibility.
As a commander, Meng Yuting must not only have the necessary talents for this position, but also have the courage and determination to shoulder this important task.
As the saying goes: If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
