Volume 9 Undercurrents Chapter 35 Sergeant Major
It is advisable to arrive. 【】… The group disappeared into the night sky, and Jia Yu tightened his chest, and the lamb in front of him looked at the warrior behind him.
A battalion of airborne troops, known as a tough soldier.
Sheng Jiayu smiled slightly and walked towards the nearest warrior.
"Head
Sheng Jiayu stopped in front of the warriors and took a concubine. Sorted out the offensive grenade that the fighter pinned to his chest.
As a sergeant major, Sheng Jiayu's mission is to manage every soldier well, let them go into battle in the best condition, let them muster courage on the battlefield, and let them kill the enemy in battle. Sergeant major is also a warrior, not an ordinary warrior. Rather, the best fighters!
After checking the equipment of each fighter in the front row one by one, Sheng Jiayu stopped.
The iron-clad battalions, the flowing soldiers, the soldiers have changed one stubble after another, the unique spirit of the airborne troops is still there, and the pride of the airborne troops is still there!
Thinking of this, Sheng Jiayu couldn't help but sigh secretly.
After three years, everything has changed.
During the Japanese War, although Sheng Jiayu's airborne fighter brigade participated in the battle, as a campaign reserve, it did not get much opportunity.
Missing this opportunity completely changed the fate of the airborne fighter brigade, as well as the fate of thousands of officers and soldiers.
After the end of the war, the 6th Army carried out a large-scale adjustment of its establishment, first changing the nature of the old airborne brigade. As the second airborne brigade of the airborne occupation army, it should be the first airborne brigade to be precise, but the airborne thug blade brigade was pressed down, and when the 6th Army only retained the airborne brigade, it naturally became the target of reduction.
To be precise, not to cut, but to adapt.
Proof of combat operations in the assault on the Ryukyu Islands. The combat effectiveness of the airborne troops has been greatly enhanced, but the nature of airborne operations has also undergone great changes. With the continued production of all kinds of new carriers,6 and in particular, the non-summoning of such tilt-rotary-wing aircraft to equip the troops in large quantities, there is more and more room for airborne operations, and the small basket brigade is no longer an airborne brigade, but the first airborne brigade of the republic.
To put it strictly, "Airborne Brigade." This catty. The concept is vague, because in the eyes of many, an air assault brigade is a veritable airborne force.
When the Airborne Fighter Brigade was reorganized, the 6th Army also took this issue into account.
In the end, the number of the Airborne Return Brigade was retained, and it became the first airborne brigade to undergo organizational adjustments.
In addition to retaining the ability to airborne operations, the biggest feature of the old airborne 2 is the addition of 3 "tactical airlift brigades" 6 in the air, which is equivalent to a battalion-level establishment, and can simultaneously send 3 airborne battalions or 2 artillery battalions to the front line with its own strength without relying on the air force, so as to have the ability to deliver independently.
To this end, the 6 military has increased the combat effectiveness of the airborne fighter brigade by several levels with 4 billion yuan.
For Jia Yu, this is not a good thing.
Before the reorganization, Sheng Jiayu applied to the brigade headquarters for "officer training". With his exploits during the Peninsular War, the problem is not very big. As long as he undergoes a two-year training, he will be able to become a second lieutenant officer and have a brighter future. For this matter. Minus Jiayu ran a lot of relationships. also found a "distant relative" who couldn't hit eighteen strokes. Although I didn't spend money on gifts, I always put a lot of thought into it. After the reorganization, the headquarters of the 6th Army canceled the "officer training" plan of the airborne thug phantom brigade.
With no hope of promotion, Sheng Jiayu came up with the idea of retiring.
Although the military is well paid, even if it is only a sergeant, the income is higher than the average social salary. In addition, food, drink, clothing, housing and transportation are all provided by the army, and the income is considered "net" and does not need to pay personal income tax, which is very good. But you can't be a soldier for the rest of your life, and in the end, you have to retire in the end. Instead of being dismissed from the army after being in your thirties, it is better to retire early while you are young and strong, learn any skills, and find a safe life for the rest of your life.
It can be said that this is also the idea of the vast majority of soldiers.
After two rounds of military reform, the Republic basically realized the volunteer military service system, and all officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers were volunteers. There were only a handful of conscripts. Generally speaking, the growth rate of military remuneration has always been higher than the growth rate of the average social income, and the social status of military personnel is also very high. However, the vast majority of soldiers who do not get the opportunity to be promoted will choose to retire after completing their first military service contract, that is, before the long live, and use the accumulated allowance to go to university or master some kind of work skills to lay the foundation for their future life. If you sign a second military service contract for the old year, you will not be able to retire until you are about the age of Wu. When the time comes, when you are older, you will not only have difficulty studying, but also find it difficult to find a good job in society.
In response to this problem, the republic did not think of a solution, but thought of a lot of ways.
In order to retain more veterans, during the second military reform, the national defense "stunned to improve the waiting list of soldiers." All those who renew their contracts with the army will not only be able to pay a dozen lambs for settling-in expenses, but will also be able to enjoy benefits beyond the ranks, such as raising the level of allowances by one level, obtaining housing according to military ranks, solving employment problems for immediate family members, providing education expenses for children, and so on. Relatively. The most effective way is to expand the ranks of non-commissioned officers and let more veterans become non-commissioned officers. In order to test the effectiveness of this method, a pilot reform was carried out in the airborne blade brigade.
Affected by this, Jia Yu stayed, and became the first batch of "service sergeant major" of the airborne thug brigade.
Unlike technical sergeant majors, "service sergeant majors" are not proficient in professional skills, but combat skills, and their main task is not to control technical equipment, but to lead troops to fight. To put it simply. The "Sergeant Major" of each battalion is the highest-ranking soldier in the battalion and is the leader of all soldiers. The most important thing is that the "service sergeant major" enjoys the treatment of the battalion chief of staff, that is, the equivalent of a major officer. It's not just about perks and benefits, it's about status. Only when he sees an officer above the battalion commander level, Sheng Jiayu needs to take the initiative to salute, and when a junior officer sees him, he has to salute him.
Sheng Jiayu is definitely not the only one affected.
Under the battalion level "Sergeant Major of Service". There are also company-level "sergeant major" and platoon-level "sergeant" airborne thugs, and more than four veteran soldiers remained.
The establishment of more reasonable sergeant ranks has fundamentally solved the problem of soldier promotion.
According to the new regulations, if Sheng Jiayu can go on smoothly, it will eventually become
The "Chief Sergeant Major" is the highest-ranking soldier who is higher than the brigade commander and lower than the army commander, and his status is equivalent to that of the Major General of the 6th Army! Of course, the "chief sergeant major" is absolutely rare, even if it is actually implemented. The whole army will not be over-killed. There is only a name among the soldiers of Jinliwan, and the one who can become the "chief sergeant major" is definitely the most powerful soldier.
With a goal, there is also the motivation to move forward.
After adjusting his mentality, Sheng Jiayu no longer takes promotion to officer as his life goal.
As long as you can become the "chief sergeant major" of the airborne old army. "I don't have anything to regret in this life.
Hearing the warrior's shout, Sheng Jiayu came back to his senses.
A staff officer from the base walked over. After stopping, salute Sheng Jiayu first.
After returning the salute, Sheng Jiayu said: "New combat order? ”
"The General Staff ordered, board the plane and leave in ten minutes." The staff officer handed over a military electronic storage to Sheng Jiayu.
Sheng Jiayu glanced at his watch, waited for the staff officer to walk away, and nodded to several company and platoon sergeants.
"Check the weapons and equipment, board the plane in order!"
Under the command of the old sergeants, the young soldiers quickly checked their weapons and equipment, and then walked towards the non-porridge inclined rotary-wing transport planes that were parked neatly.
Sheng Jiayu stopped next to the first 2 tears and looked at the fighters who were boarding.
"Head, your rifle."
Taking the rifle from the soldier sitting by the hatch, Sheng Jiayu let out a long breath and nodded to the captain who was looking at him. He gestured for take-off, and then stepped on the footrest next to the hatch.
Two huge propellers start slowly. Driven by the electric booster system, Buwu slid out of the underground cavern.
The night was dark, and the rotors were fanning and the snowflakes were fluttering around.
Because of the limited area of the take-off and landing platform, only four 2 planes can take off at a time, and the thugs carrying many heavily armed officers and soldiers need to take off in three times.
The moment the wheels left the ground, Sheng Jiayu sat in the cabin.
Protected by the new individual combat uniform, no matter how low the temperature outside was, Sheng Jiayu only felt a little cold in front of him.
The cold is not the main problem, how to bring the warriors back is the first thing Sheng Jiayu has to consider.
As a sergeant major, Sheng Jiayu's duty is to protect every soldier and let as many soldiers as possible leave the war alive, preferably "alive" and "alive".
"Head, the communications equipment is ready."
Sheng Jiayu glanced at the night sky outside, closed the hatch, and sat down on the most remote seat.
The signal corps has been connected to the tactical communication system, through which Zang Jiayu can discuss battle plans and deploy combat missions with other sergeants in the battalion, and can also issue combat orders to the soldiers of the whole battalion.
After connecting the electronic memory to the data port of the external equipment of the individual soldier's computer, Sheng Jiayu began to assign combat missions.
The combat operations have long been handed down to all combat units, and Sheng Jiayu can almost memorize them. All he has to do is to arrange specific combat operations for each company, platoon, and even squad before the troops arrive on the battlefield, so as to ensure that every combat force can accurately and timely complete its combat mission.
In the past, these tasks were carried out by battalion staff officers.
After the establishment of a sergeant major, the battalion headquarters staff officer is no longer responsible for operational affairs, but assists the battalion commander in completing tactical command work.
Sheng Jiayu didn't know if the battalion staff officer would be "unemployed" because of this, he only knew that the combat mission must be completed!
