Chapter 896 Transformation
Chapter 896 Transformation
The headquarters of the 702nd Regiment of the Beiping Military Region.
"Battalion Commander, the regiment headquarters has ordered you to attend a meeting!" said the messenger as he knocked on the office door.
"I understand!" Wei Guang stopped writing, stood up and said.
Half an hour later, Wei Guang arrived at the conference room and saw that all the officers above the company level had arrived. After a simple greeting, he sat down at his seat.
"Second Battalion Commander, do you know what the meeting is about?" asked the first battalion commander next to him curiously.
"No, what you said is wrong. You are with the regiment commander every day and you don't know, so how should I know?" Wei Guang looked at the battalion commander and said with a smile.
"How can it be the same? Although our first battalion is close to the regimental headquarters, you, the second battalion commander, are a well-known know-it-all in our regiment. Aren't you the first to know the news?" The first battalion commander also said with a smile.
"That's right, don't hide it!" the third battalion commander also said.
"I'm telling you two, I really don't know! I came here just after receiving the notice! I didn't receive any notice at all!" Wei Guang said helplessly.
"Captain!" the guard at the door shouted. Everyone in the conference room stopped discussing and sat up straight, all serious.
"Are you all here? That's great! There are only two things I need to talk about today! The first is that our regiment was selected as a pilot heavy mechanized regiment. We used to be a mechanized force, but now we have switched to heavy mechanization, just like our reconnaissance company, which has also changed from light mechanization to heavy mechanization! Everyone can understand this, right?" Captain Wang said with a smile.
"Captain, isn't it a bit outdated to convert us to heavy mechanization at this time?" Wei Guang asked curiously.
He knew that many troops were already moving towards lightweight and information-based systems, but the 702nd Regiment was actually going the other way? This was somewhat unusual.
"What Captain Zhao said is not wrong. Heavy mechanization is indeed a bit outdated, but it also depends on the mission. Our army's mission is to be a breakthrough point, which requires a strong offensive force! And to be honest, as a force defending the capital, we also need a more powerful shield!" Captain Wang said with a smile.
The day before yesterday, when he went to the division for a meeting, he also knew that the current war pays more attention to informationization, but there must always be troops to undertake the heavy mechanization transformation and play an important exploratory role in the war.
So when the task was assigned to him, Captain Wang took it without hesitation. He had the most seniority and was also the most senior captain in the entire army. If he didn't take the task, who would?
The officers immediately understood that their regiment was being used as a test subject! Only the regimental commander had this ability; others might not have it.
"Okay, special documents will be distributed to each battalion and company later. Next, I want to say the second thing, which is that our regiment must complete the transformation as soon as possible, and then we will head north to Zhurihe!" Captain Wang said with a little excitement.
"Really?" The battalion and company commanders were also shocked. They were going north to Zhurihe again? They finally got their chance?
"Commander, which regiment are you cooperating with this time?" asked the battalion commander with curiosity.
Because the battles at Zhurihe Base were mostly brigade-level, a single regiment couldn't accomplish the mission. Therefore, two regiments had to work together to complete it.
"Our comrades this time are from a regiment in the Northeast, the 608th Regiment of the 38th Army! This will be a good opportunity for us to take revenge! So I order!" Captain Wang stood up solemnly and looked at the battalion and company commanders below.
"Swish!" All the officers stood up.
"The 702nd Regiment must complete the transformation within two months, and all personnel must be familiar with their weapons and equipment! This is a battle that will turn our regiment around! We must never go through what happened three years ago again! Is everyone clear about this?" said Captain Wang in a serious tone.
"Be prepared at all times!" the officers below also shouted loudly.
"Okay! Go back and prepare! We will start receiving equipment tomorrow! Meeting adjourned! Second Battalion Commander, please come to my office!" After Captain Wang finished speaking, he saluted and walked out of the meeting room towards the office.
Although Wei Guang didn't understand, he followed him anyway. He was also curious, why did they look for him at this time?
Soon, Wei Guang arrived at the head of the group's office. After entering, Wei Guang saw a familiar face.
"Commander!" Wei Guang saluted quickly.
"Haha, you kid are being so polite to me here?" The commander turned his head, looked at Wei Guang, walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Captain Wang, Wei Guang can be considered our junior, right? He is now the battalion commander. It seems that we are all old now!" said the division commander.
"You may be old, but I am not!" Wang Qingrui said with a smile.
"What do you two want me to do? If not, I'll go back. I still have to prepare to receive the equipment!" When Wei Guang heard the two people's teasing, he immediately refused to do it and turned around to leave.
"Okay, come back and sit down! I'm not teasing you, I called you here today for something serious!" When the commander saw Wei Guang's expression, he immediately smiled and said.
"Please give me instructions!" Wei Guang said.
"I'm here to prepare for the exercise in two months! I asked you to come here so that you can select an elite team to fight against the special forces team in Zhurihe!" said the division commander.
"That's right, we can think of other ways, but the best way to deal with special forces is to use special forces. So I hope you can select a temporary reinforced platoon from the entire regiment within two months as our trump card to deal with that special forces!" Wang Qingrui also said.
"Are you two trying to kill me? This special forces unit cannot be trained in two months." Wei Guang felt as if thunder was rolling on his head when he heard the words of the two commanders.
"Don't underestimate yourself. The training methods of the special forces have basically become your family's unique skills! What's the matter? Are you afraid that you won't be able to explain yourself when you face your fourth brother this time?" The division commander asked with a smile.
"That's not the case. I just think it's a little too late for us to train now! In two months, we can only barely improve the soldiers' physical fitness and basic tactics. If we want to fight with those real special forces, we have to go through at least one year of training!" Wei Guang said with embarrassment.
"Improve as much as you can! We sent your regiment there this time to let you learn experience and fight against Zhurihe! While taking revenge, you must also learn their strengths. After you come back, we will learn from your regiment in the division and even the entire army! So this simple special forces team must be trained, otherwise it is estimated that soon after the exercise begins, your regiment will suffer heavy losses under the attack of the Zhurihe special forces!" The division commander said earnestly.
