Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Gao Cheng nodded. "Your idea is good. Our Seventh Company has a large number of weapons and equipment of various types, and manual record-keeping is indeed very cumbersome. I was originally thinking of waiting for the higher-ups to introduce electronic records to us."

I almost forgot about you; this is your old profession, haha.

Then you should hurry up and get started. Manual ledgers are indeed very troublesome. Finding gun serial numbers, maintenance records, and so on can easily take dozens of pages, and sometimes mistakes can happen.

Each time the entire company undergoes a weapons and equipment inspection, the armorers spend a considerable amount of time just checking the records, and this inspection is conducted weekly.

As an armored reconnaissance company, the Seventh Steel Company is highly mechanized, but it is not only equipped with armor and transport equipment. In addition to infantry fighting vehicles and armored reconnaissance vehicles, light and heavy weapons and various types of equipment are included in the ordnance officer's statistics.

All items in the military are categorized and accounted for, with responsibilities assigned to specific individuals.

Daily necessities such as tables, chairs, benches, water bottles, lunch boxes, and bedding fall under the purview of the clerk or quartermaster and are recorded in the company's supplies ledger, with regular inventory checks.

Training equipment, such as obstacle courses, target paper, training grenade models, and simulated ammunition, is generally classified under the training personnel or recorded in the training equipment ledger.

Supplies, medicines, and clothing were kept in the inventory of the quartermaster or medic, categorized in the logistics ledger, and stored in a separate warehouse.

Common tools, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and shovels, are classified as belonging to the cookhouse or repair crew and are recorded in the crew's tool log.

These items are relatively few in number, the inspection time is not so frequent, and there are more personnel responsible for statistics, so the work is not as difficult.

The work of an ordnance officer is different. The core scope of their registration includes weapons, ammunition and explosives, ordnance equipment and spare parts, and key controlled equipment.

武器类方面包括连队所有枪械，包括81-1式自动步枪、81式班机、67-2 通用机枪，手枪，此外还有火箭筒（PF89/PF98）、迫击炮、反坦克飞弹发射具等。

Each weapon must have a unique serial number, and the serial number, the person who received it, the person who returned it, the time of receipt, the time of return, and the maintenance status must be recorded in the weapon register.

Ammunition and explosives include bullets of various calibers, grenades, demolition charges, explosive charges, missile warheads, propellants, etc.

These items are strictly stored in fixed quantities and issued with approval at each level. The ammunition register records the batch number, quantity, issuing unit, and purpose in detail. When weapons and equipment are retired and phased out, the corresponding ammunition is also destroyed.

Such cases must be recorded in detail, and it is strictly forbidden to keep or conceal them privately.

Ordnance, equipment and spare parts include weapon-related scopes, bipods, magazines, drum magazines, stocks, barrels, cleaning rods, maintenance tools, etc.

In addition, military optical instruments (telescopes, low-light night vision devices), signal guns and signal flares, etc., need to be registered in the ordnance and equipment register. If there is any damage or loss, it must be reported and approved, and corresponding personnel may be initiated to investigate and hold accountable.

Finally, key equipment is subject to strict control, such as company-level main combat radios and explosives-related tools in engineering equipment. These are registered in accordance with ordnance management requirements and stored in the same warehouse as weapons and ammunition.

These are all strictly controlled items. In addition to these, there are some cross-category items that also need to be registered by the armorer.

For example, items like entrenching tools, which are both tools and personal carrying equipment, are issued to riflemen and the armorer needs to register them as part of the weapon. Other items issued as tools are registered by the quartermaster.

Zhang Anbang nodded. "Given the current computer configuration in our company, we can't create very advanced systems, but creating a simple program to use shouldn't be a problem."

Wu Liuyi asked curiously, "Deputy Company Commander, what is this little ledger software? Is it really that useful?"

"The ledger software is a new tool installed on the computer that is used for only one thing: to count various inventories and record equipment maintenance information, etc."

"This tool is very convenient to use. Liu Yi, let me ask you something. For example, if our armory needs to destroy a batch of ammunition, what do the armorers need to do?" Zhang Anbang explained briefly before asking the question directly.

As a key member of the company, Wu Liuyi had also assisted in the ammunition disposal work, so he knew the general process. "Deputy Company Commander, I know this. Apart from the approval procedures, the armorers are extremely busy."

I saw him last time; he always carried a red pen and a blue pen with him. He said he used the red pen to mark things to be done and the blue pen to make final notes.

It also requires going through various ledgers to verify the type, production batch number, date of entry into storage, and quantity of the ammunition to be destroyed—it's incredibly troublesome.

Zhang Anbang nodded. "That's right. Once I've set up this electronic ledger, the armorer only needs to input the ammunition to be destroyed, and it will automatically display all the information, including the model and batch number of all the ammunition to be destroyed. The armorer only needs to go to the corresponding shelf and verify that everything is correct."

Gao Cheng wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, yes, I've heard about it. Xiao Qi, hurry up and get it done, haha. That way, our Seventh Company can try it out first. If there are no problems, we'll report it to the regimental headquarters. The regimental commander will definitely promote it throughout the entire 702nd Company."

Although Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi didn't know the principle behind it, they understood its use after listening to Zhang Anbang's explanation. "Deputy Company Commander, it's still good to study. The chief designer was right. Technology is indeed the primary productive force."

"Don't forget to study hard in your correspondence vocational school, or you'll embarrass yourselves if you fail the exam. Especially Shi Jin, if you want to stay in the army, you'll definitely need to improve your education level," Zhang Anbang reminded him worriedly.

Shi Jin is alright, but Wu Liuyi's attitude towards studying is not as enthusiastic as his attitude towards training.

"Xiao Qi is right. Shi Jin, you must seize this opportunity. You also need to pay attention to Liu Yi. You will be entering the fourth term in just a few years. Judging from the current development of the military, the requirements for education will become higher and higher in the future. You can't be careless."

Gao Cheng also cautioned that the military is increasingly emphasizing modernization, and Wu Liuyi's physical fitness and military skills will inevitably decline as he gets older.

To stay in the military long-term, one must either be an officer, possess specific skills, or have sufficient seniority and meet the required educational standards.

Shi Jin's incident has already served as a wake-up call for Wu Liuyi. He still has time and must make preparations in advance.

As soon as Gao Cheng finished speaking, Shi Jin gave him another reminder, still worried.

Wu Liu nodded repeatedly in agreement, thinking to himself, "Goodness, am I really that unreliable when it comes to studying? There are only four people in the car, and three of them are giving me instructions. Luckily, the instructor isn't here, otherwise there would be one more."

The jeep sped along amidst the four people's conversation. "Xiao Qi, I only became the driver today because you were a second-class meritorious person. Next time we go out together, you'll have to drive, okay?"

Before the company headquarters, Gao Cheng got out of the car and spoke.

"Yes, platoon leader, you're right. I'll definitely be the driver next time."

……

As soon as the group arrived at the company headquarters, the political instructor came over with a transfer order. "Shi Jin, when I went to the regimental headquarters this morning, the military affairs section gave me the transfer order directly. Take a look, I won't read it aloud."

Shi Jin took the transfer order, opened it, and saw that it clearly stated on the paper,

Orders and deployments of the 702nd Regiment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army

702 Group Document No. 113 of 2001

Transfer order

Shi Jin, squad leader of the 7th Infantry Company, is hereby transferred to the regimental training team upon receiving the transfer order to serve as a pilot instructor for new recruit training and to perform corresponding duties.

During this period, Comrade Shi Jin's administrative and organizational relationships were transferred accordingly, and his supply relationship was handled and transferred by the regiment's logistics department.

The 7th Infantry Company must urge this comrade to complete the handover of his work and ensure that he arrives at his post on time. The regimental training team is responsible for arranging this comrade's reporting for duty and pre-duty preparations.

This order.

Gao Cheng also took the transfer order and looked at it. "Handover? There's nothing to hand over. Shi Jin, Liu Yi, go get a form and fill it out. Liu Yi knows everything about the class. After you finish filling out the form, pack your things and go report for duty."

Although we couldn't keep you in the 7th Company, as long as you're still in the army, still in 702, there will always be another chance.

Gao Cheng was overjoyed. As long as Shi Jin stayed, even if he wasn't under his command now, there would always be opportunities in the future. This transfer to the regimental training team was a big step forward for him to stay.

Zhang Anbang nodded in agreement. "The company commander is right. Only by staying can we have a chance. Shi Jin, hurry up and pack up. If there are any problems, we'll contact you immediately."

Hong Xingguo smiled and said, "Liu Yi, go help Squad Leader Shi pack up. We'll have a get-together at the canteen later to give Squad Leader Shi a farewell dinner."
