Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 8 Head Li's Thoughts
This year's recruit training of Division E adopts the form of unified management. The division establishes a recruit regiment, which is divided into four recruit battalions.

Li Haiou, the head of the Tiger Regiment, was standing on the lawn in front of the dormitory building of the Second Battalion and the Fourth Company of the Recruits. He was asking Liang Hu, the commander of the Second Battalion of the Recruits, whether the preparations for welcoming the new recruits were done properly. Intentionally or unintentionally, he took a few glances in the direction of the gate of the camp.

Li Haiou is 41 years old this year. He is not the youngest in the main group, but he is not the oldest either. In his own words, he is "just right".

His hometown is by the sea, and his father Lao Li served as a militiaman in the coastal defense company when he was Xiao Li. He often patrolled with the local naval garrison.

Back then, Xiao Li's dream was to enlist in the army and put on a navy uniform, a sea soul cap with two streamers, and stand on the side of the ship with a steel gun in his hand and be mighty.

It's a pity that the cross-strait relations gradually eased later, the Haiphong Company was also withdrawn, and Xiao Li became an old Li in the years of time. After all, the original dream did not come true.

Later, Lao Li got married and had a son, and he sent his son to be a soldier with all his heart. He wanted to be in the navy, but he turned into the army by mistake. The seagulls failed to fight the wind and waves at sea, and became tigers on land.

When Li Haiou did not disappoint his father after all, from soldier to cadre, he worked hard step by step. In the year when he was promoted to visit the family, Lao Li, who has always been frugal in managing his family, had a rare rich time and set up [-] tables in the village. , After getting drunk, he grabbed his son and insisted on going to the ancestral hall to swear to his ancestors that his son would be the best soldier.

Li Haiou has lived up to his father, Lao Li. The work of the Tiger Regiment is impressive, and every year the pennants of advanced training units are carried back to the regiment headquarters.

For the work of recruits every year, Li Haiou is very attentive.The reason why they are concerned is because the quality of recruits each year directly affects the combat effectiveness of the Tigers in the next two years.

It is said that the army is a melting pot that can hammer rotten iron into good steel.

In fact, this sentence is quite idealistic.

To forge good steel, it must first be a suitable material.

Rotten iron is a piece of iron after all, not plastic.If you are a piece of plastic, even if you invite Sun Wukong to be the squad leader, you can't turn plastic into steel.

Therefore, picking troops is an extremely important thing, and it is also a science.

Captain Li personally went to the new barracks today, not only to inspect the new recruits, but also the first batch of recruits is about to arrive today. The location of the regiment.

Although it is a new barracks, the entire regiment is actually secretly competing secretly.Because each battalion is managed by different regiment backbones and cadres, the head of the new regiment is the deputy chief of staff in the division who is in charge of training. In fact, this arrangement has the careful thinking of the division head.

Aren't you great?Whether it's a mule or a horse, come out for a walk, whoever is awesome will bring his new recruits well, bring out samples, and it is best to bring out flowers.

The most indispensable thing in the army is competition. Whoever is a hero is a hero, and they will compare each other on the training ground.

Li Haiou is a cadre who was promoted from a soldier, and he is not lacking in competitiveness.Ordinarily, the cadres directly promoted by soldiers did not last long, and most of them changed jobs when they reached the battalion level.

It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I can't do it anymore.The reason is simple. The higher the level, the more education and cultural background support is needed. Soldiers are promoted to the brigade to teach the brigade to train the brigade for one year. After graduating from the brigade, they can directly serve as platoon leaders. Those who reach the company level can still make do. After the battalion level, when compared with the college students, the gap came out.

Therefore, Li Haiou is essentially an extremely competitive leader, otherwise he would not be able to reach this level.

Because of this, in terms of theoretical foundation, maybe Li Haiou is not the top team leader in Division E, but when it comes to hard work, no one can match Li Haiou.

These days, Li Haiou has been busy with veterans' discharge and winter training arrangements, but today he still took time out of his busy schedule to go to the Second Battalion of the New Corps to personally check the orientation work here.

"These days the cooking team has to work in two shifts, and they are on standby at any time. The time when recruits arrive in the army is uncertain. Sometimes they arrive at night. Some soldiers are far away. They will have thoughts and emotions when they travel along the way. They must prepare hot noodles at any time and wait for them to come. You can have hot food.”

"By the way, there is also the water in the shower room. The boiler needs to be heated up. When the water cools down, the recruits will fall ill as soon as they come to take a bath. What training is there?"

"...By the way, have all the instructors of your companies trained intensively? Ideological work must keep up, and the National Day of the [-]th National Day is coming soon. The cultural programs in the camps that should be arranged must keep up, so as to prevent recruits from having thoughts and emotions. Remember not to Deserters, deserters are political responsibility, I will remove you from office!"

Liang Hu, the commander of the second battalion of recruits who was instructed by Li Haiou, nodded all the time. The regimental commander was someone he admired.

In terms of military affairs, the 41-year-old Li Haiou can compete with the backbone of the squad leader on the training ground without losing the wind. This military quality alone in middle age shows how much sweat and blood was spent in training.

In a word, Liang Hu felt at ease when he worked with Captain Li.

"Regiment leader, don't worry, I promise you and the regiment party committee that there will be no problems with the work of the recruits, otherwise you will dismiss me."

Seeing that General Ai made the promise, there was a smile in Li Haiou's eyes, but his tone was still very serious: "It's not just about stability, it's useless to just seek stability. Soldiers are prepared to fight, and we must always keep in mind those who can fight and win wars." Thinking, soldiers must be refined, especially..."

Having said that, Li Haiou stopped talking, turned his head and glanced in the direction of the first battalion and the third battalion.

"We can't let the other two brother regiments look down on us, especially the 1st regiment, who brag all day that they are the ace of the E division. After the new training this year, the soldiers we lead must beat them in the big assessment. , don’t let them always be arrogant.”

Liang Hu said: "When the new recruits come, the division will divide the files in advance. After leaving the reconnaissance battalion, they can give priority to picking people. We don't have this right. A good soldier depends not only on training, but also on fundamentals, regiment commander. , I heard that the head of the 1st regiment has been running to the division headquarters recently, is it..."

Speaking of this, Liang Hu frowned worriedly.

Li Haiou chuckled generously, and then said, "He has Zhang Liangji, and I have a wall ladder! Let me tell you..."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his tone to the lowest level, and whispered almost close to Liang Hu's ear.

As Liang Hu listened, his tense face gradually relaxed like a flower.

"Leader! High!"

He couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

After the two deliberated in a low voice, Li Haiou suddenly remembered something.

"Just now I saw Hou Jun in the list of key personnel. Didn't Hou Jun go to participate in the sniper selection? And arrange for him to lead recruits?"

Hearing this, Liang Hu hurriedly explained: "Head, Hou Jun is going to participate in the selection of the international sniper competition, but his training has come to an end, and the training place is on the side of the teaching team, which is very close to our place. , This kid is the best squad leader in our battalion. He has rich experience in leading troops. This time I asked him not to be the squad leader, but to be the deputy platoon leader in the fourth company and the first row of recruits. There are a lot of soldiers, and a lot of generals. Be steady, leader."

Li Haiou said: "Liang Hu, this horse is easy to use and you can't use it to death. I remember that Hou Jun hasn't visited the house for many years, right? Why don't you take advantage of the National Day this year to let people go home and have a look?"

Liang Hu explained: "Leader, you have wronged me by saying that. It's not that I don't let him go back to visit relatives, it's that he doesn't want to go back."

"Don't want to go back?" Li Haiou wondered: "Is there anyone who doesn't want to visit relatives?"

Liang Hu said: "I also asked him if there was something wrong at home, and he said no, what can I do?"

Li Haiou said thoughtfully: "It seems that I have to find some time to talk to him..."

Liang Hu changed the subject and asked another matter: "Regimental Commander, I recently heard from fellow villagers in the military headquarters that our army may be reformed. Does this matter have anything to do with our regiment?"

Li Haiou glanced at Liang Hu: "Your news is well-informed, this matter is not finalized, just keep it in your heart, don't go around talking about it."

Liang Hu sneered and said, "You still don't know me, leader? My mouth is locked. However, I'm just a little worried..."

Li Haiou interrupted Liang Hu without hesitation: "What are you worried about? Why do we soldiers think so much? We can't jump leaves from the sky, and we can't smash our heads! Even if the military is reformed, can we change the designation of our Tiger Regiment?"

Liang Hu smiled a little forcedly, his lips moved, but he still didn't say anything in the end.

Suddenly, Li Haiou's eyes became brighter, and the radar shone into the distance.

On the boulevard towards the gate of the division headquarters, two dark green buses were driving towards this side. Big red flowers were hung on the front of the bus, which was particularly conspicuous in the verdant green.

"The recruits are here, hurry up to pick them up, and do as I say!"
