One Thousand One Hundred and Thirty-One Who Has Any Questions?
After the announcement, only officers above the battalion level remained in the briefing room, including division commander Ye Han, chief of staff Bian Ge, commander of the first battalion Xiao Yuan, commander of the second battalion Ouyang Ping, and commander of the third battalion Wu Qingbo.
In addition, there was also the commander of the guard company Luo Qi.
Yes, it was the guard company.
After the reduction, the total number of the First Airborne Division was only one regiment. The training battalion under Ouyang Ping was directly disbanded, and Luo Qi's guard battalion was also turned into a guard company.
However, the organization of the troops changed, but everyone's positions did not change. The military ranks of some people were even promoted because of the battle of Jupiter. Luo Qi's high position and low assignment were not an isolated case.
Not only Luo Qi, Xiao Yuan was also promoted, but his position remained unchanged, without any change.
This situation did not only happen in the First Airborne Division. After so many years of fighting, there were countless officers who were promoted for meritorious service. The military simply did not have so many positions to arrange these people, so the phenomenon of high positions and low assignments was very common in the military.
People familiar with the military know that positions are much more important than ranks. In order to prevent too many senior officers, the military has to suppress the promotion of senior officers. Otherwise, Ye Han would have been promoted to major general this time, and there would be no explanation after more than a month.
The soldiers don't know that Ye Han took the initiative to give up the opportunity to be promoted in exchange for the opportunity to move to Beiyuezhou for his wife and children.
But it is only an opportunity in exchange. It must be arranged when there is an opportunity without affecting the military's arrangements, so Bai Xiaoting and the children are still in Qiongzhou.
All of this was done secretly by Ye Han through connections. It can't be regarded as abusing power for personal gain, but most of the officers and soldiers' families are on Earth. Of course, this matter is not easy to make public, so many people have been complaining for Ye Han in private.
Ye Han didn't know how to explain it at all, and could only respond with a wry smile.
Everyone who should leave has left. Ye Han immediately pulled up the map of Marida Port: "This is Marida Port. Here--" He drew a circle on the map, "It's the storage area of the port. The extracted uranium ore is stored here. So far, no aliens have been found to be interested in the storage area, Wu Qingbo!"
"Here!"
"This is target number one. The first task of the third battalion is to be responsible for this place."
"Yes!"
Ye Han drew two more locations: "Here and here are targets number two and three.
They are all industrial areas for smelting uranium ore, Ouyang Ping?"
"Here!"
"Do you know how uranium ore is smelted?"
"Report, I don't know!"
"I don't know either. I just found some information and took a quick look. This thing doesn't use a blast furnace, but uses chemical methods to melt and extract. So don't think it looks like a blast furnace. Equipment is important. No matter how inconspicuous it is, you can't let it go. Do you understand? "
"I understand!"
"You can find information about this after the meeting. Sit down."
"Yes!"
Finally, Ye Han drew a circle on the beach: "This is target No. 4, Marida Wharf. The distance from the wharf to the storage area is 1.2 kilometers. It's not far, but there is a residential area in the middle. I believe there are still many local residents and miners hiding here... The reason is that this is one of the places where the insect swarm is most concentrated. In addition to predation, I can't think of any reason for the insect swarm to concentrate here."
Speaking of this, Ye Han drew on the road between the wharf and the storage area: "This is the only way to transport ore to the wharf. We must ensure that this road is unobstructed... Xiao Yuan!"
"Here!" The two stood up together.
"You follow the first battalion. Your mission is to airdrop to the dock and hold it, advance from the dock to the storage area, and open up this passage. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Wu Qingbo?"
"Here!"
"The second mission of the third battalion is to occupy the storage area, advance from the storage area to the dock, and attack from both sides with the first battalion to open up this passage."
"Yes!"
"Who else has questions?"
"Report!" Xiao Yuan was the first to stand up.
"Speak!"
"Division Commander, the dock is also one of the areas where the insect swarm gathers. If you airdrop to other areas, it won't be a problem to attack the dock after gathering. It's more difficult to airdrop directly to the dock, and the casualties will be greater."
Ye Han nodded: "You can choose a landing point near the dock. Also, there will be assistance from the navy during the airdrop, so pay attention to coordination and communication."
"Yes!"
"Sit down, who else?"
"Report!" Wu Qingbo also stood up.
"Tell me!"
"Commander, the aliens haven't noticed the storage area yet. If we airdrop directly to the storage area, will it attract the attention of the aliens?"
"What do you mean?"
"Our mission is to create conditions for the brother troops, so I have an immature idea. Can we gather near the storage area and deliberately make some noise to lure out all the bugs in the storage area?"
Ye Han smiled: "Luring the snake out of the hole? Yes, but the safety of the storage area must be guaranteed first. If you lure the bugs out here, the storage area over there is not defended, and luring the snake out of the hole is meaningless."
"Yes!" Wu Qingbo was a little excited, "Commander, my idea is to put the main force in the residential area, on the one hand, it can speed up the opening of the channel, and on the other hand, it can also attract the bugs in the storage area."
"Okay." Ye Han nodded, "The storage area is full of warehouses, which is not suitable for airdrops. Do you have any ideas?"
Wu Qingbo did not answer but asked: "Commander, how do we airdrop this time?"
"Landing craft, there is nothing else besides this." Ye Han said.
The assault ship did return with the assault fleet, but the problem was that Gao Kai also took the assault ship to Jupiter, so the airdrop capsule couldn't be used.
And Ye Han really, really, really hated the airdrop capsule. He always felt that it was like leaving your life to God, and it was far less safe than a landing craft.
Ye Han was not the only one who felt this way. Most airborne soldiers had similar ideas.
Of course, this was not the case at all. A landing craft was fully loaded with a platoon. If it was hit, the whole army might be wiped out. The airdrop capsule had one person in each capsule. It was small and fast, and the probability of being hit by anti-aircraft firepower was much lower than that of a landing craft.
But why do people think the airdrop capsule is unsafe?
The reason for this illusion is that the airdrop capsule is a free fall, and people can't do anything inside. This uncontrolled waiting gives people a feeling of resignation and helplessness. In other words, it is out of control, so the soldiers all think the airdrop capsule is unsafe.
If the paratroopers in the airdrop capsule can control the landing direction, the situation will take a 180-degree turn. At that time, most paratroopers will refuse to use landing craft and become loyal fans of the airdrop capsule.
But for some reason, the military is unwilling to modify the airdrop capsule.
Wu Qingbo said: "Then my suggestion is to use the flight bag to land after flying over the target, which is conducive to assembling troops."
