Chapter 181
On the hillside not far from the training ground,

Jiang Bei was watching the training of the soldiers with a telescope.

Now the actual combat training has become normalized. The training backbones and platoon-level cadres brought out by Jiangbei himself have initially possessed the ability to lead training, so there is no need for Jiangbei's hands-on teaching.

He only needs to pay attention to the problems that everyone has explored in the training and help solve them. Chen Guotao and other platoon-level cadres and non-commissioned squad leaders can take care of other things.

At this moment, a military jeep stopped at the door in the Jiangbei telescope, but the people in the car were blocked by trees, so he couldn't see clearly.

Jiang Bei immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called Chen Guotao who was near the gate of the camp.

"One row long! One row long, please call back!"

Not a moment after the words fell, Chen Guotao's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Chen Guotao received it, please give instructions to the battalion commander!"

Jiang Bei said into the walkie-talkie: "Pay someone to see who is coming at the gate of the camp!"

"Roger that!"

After the words fell, Jiang Bei saw Chen Guotao calling a soldier to trot towards the gate of the camp. As soon as the soldier reached the gate of the camp, he glanced at it and ran back to the training ground.

"Battalion Commander! It's Xiwa from the reconnaissance company who is back! He should have been eliminated." Chen Guotao's regretful voice soon rang through the intercom

"Xiwa? Okay, I get it!"

Hearing this, Jiang Bei responded, then put away the binoculars and walkie-talkie, and walked down the slope to the training ground with his armed belt.

As soon as he walked to the side of the road where a row of soldiers led by Chen Guotao was training, he saw Xiwa walking on the road with a backpack on his face in a daze.

"Chen Xiwa!"

Jiang Bei shouted loudly.

"To!"

Chen Xiwa woke up in an instant, and quickly looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing that it was Jiang Bei, she trotted to Jiang Bei and saluted, "Battle Commander!"

Jiang Bei nodded, took a look at Xiwa, saw his tired face, and said, "You're back, are you tired?"

"Tired, not tired!"

Xiwa nodded and shook her head again.

"Tired is tired. If you are not tired, you are not tired. I don't know what kind of life you are living?" Jiang Bei said angrily.

As soon as Jiangbei said this, Xiwa nodded, fell silent for a moment, and said a little dejectedly: "Battalion Commander, I have shamed our first battalion. I was eliminated and failed the selection!"

Jiang Bei smiled, walked up to Xiwa, helped him up the slightly crooked brim of his hat, and said, "Hold your head up, if you fail, you fail. What are you afraid of? Just go again next time! As long as you Remember to stand up wherever you fall! Do you understand, Xiwa!"

Xiwa quickly raised her head, stood up straight and said loudly, "Yes, Battalion Commander! I will stand up wherever I fall!"

Jiang Bei nodded with satisfaction this time: "That's right, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that you dare not face failure! Without revealing the secret, why did you get eliminated?"

Upon hearing this, Xiwa said depressedly: "I was tested for high school chemistry, but I just graduated from junior high school."

It was only then that Jiang Bei remembered that Xiwa in the original drama was indeed limited by his education background, otherwise he would have been a special soldier based on his individual qualities.

"Don't be afraid, I'll give you a set of high school textbooks later, you study hard on your own, and then go back after you learn it!" Jiang Bei waved his hand and said proudly.

He still likes Xiwa as a soldier. His military quality can be said to be one of the best in the Yehu reconnaissance company. Just by looking at the soldiers who participated in the training camp, you can tell that there are so many people participating in the assessment in the entire reconnaissance company. , Xiwa, a new recruit, made it into the top ten and had the opportunity to participate in the training camp.

Chen Guotao said it well, this guy Xiwa has strong physical fitness and endurance.

"Yes! Battalion Commander." Xiwa replied.

"Go! I'll give you a day off today, and you won't have to train in the afternoon. Take a good rest!"

Jiang Bei nodded and let Xiwa go back to the dormitory.

.........

At the regiment headquarters, Jiang Bei came to the head's office and reported loudly.

"report!"

"Come in!"

In the office, the smoke was lingering, and the ashtray on the desk was already covered with cigarette butts. Captain Li was holding a red-headed document in one hand and smoking a cigarette in the other. Hearing Jiang Bei's voice, he coughed and shouted to the door.

Jiang Bei pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing the smell of smoke in the room, he was puzzled, but he didn't show any expression.

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the First Battalion Changjiang North has been ordered to report."

Captain Li took a puff of cigarette, stubbed out the cigarette butt, threw it into the ashtray, got up and opened the window behind him, then loosened his collar, and said to Jiangbei: "You are here, the teacher issued three A document, you look at it first!"

After speaking, Captain Li handed the document to Jiangbei.

"Yes!"

Jiang Bei quickly took the documents, and saw two red-headed documents, one was "About the List of Cadres of the May [-]th Regiment Changing Jobs", on which was suddenly written the name of the leader of the Yiying Night Tiger Scout Company, and the other was "About the May [-]th Regiment". List of Veterans of the Eighth Regiment and First Battalion".

Another one is "About the Digital Synthesis Battalion Reserve Non-commissioned Officer Examination Plan"

Jiang Bei suddenly fell silent. Some time ago, he talked to Zhou Jun about his discharge from the army. He didn't expect that the list of veterans from the first battalion would come down now.

"The retirement season has to be experienced every year, so I won't say much about it. As for the third document, I got it from a meeting in the army. The army has basically determined the direction of the formation of the synthetic battalion. The first battalion, except for the normal expiration Veterans who have been discharged from the army, and other soldiers must participate in the assessment, and the division will send someone to evaluate at that time, you let the soldiers train hard, and strive to become a reserve non-commissioned officer of the synthetic battalion!"

After saying this, Captain Li sighed, and continued: "The specific content, you are the reserve battalion commander of the synthetic battalion, and the division will definitely notify you when the time comes, so I won't say much, Jiangbei, I regret supporting You have started a pilot camp, and once this document comes out, many of the key non-commissioned officers of our first battalion will probably have to be taken to the camp by you, otherwise, the combat effectiveness of our battalion and even our regiment will drop a bit.”

Jiang Bei understood the meaning of the head of the regiment. It was clearly stated in the document that the synthetic battalion was equipped with brand-new equipment and a new organization, but the backbone force could not be recruits, so excellent non-commissioned officers had to be selected from other brother troops.

Most of these non-commissioned officers will come from the division. As for the division, the focus is on the battalion with the most outstanding non-commissioned officers.

Once these non-commissioned officers were transferred to the synthetic battalion, it would definitely be traumatic for the first battalion.

But the more Jiang Bei understood, the less he knew how to say it. After all, he was the one who started the crime, and he was the one who led people away.

Seeing that Jiangbei didn't say anything, Captain Li waved his hand and said, "But I know that without the Synthetic Battalion, there will be other military reforms. Our regiment and even our division cannot escape. As long as we want to improve our combat effectiveness, we must reform. Temporary pain is inevitable."

Speaking of this, Captain Li became serious: "So, Jiangbei, I hope you can stabilize the morale of the first battalion with Zhou Jun before going to the Synthetic Battalion, so that you don't get weak, do you understand!"

Jiang Bei said in a solemn tone: "Regimental Commander, please rest assured that as long as I am still alive, the morale of the First Battalion will never be weak."

"Okay! It's good that you know, go back, remember to go to the division tomorrow, the division commander and political commissar want to see you." Captain Li waved his hand.

"Yes." Jiang Bei saluted and left the office.

Captain Li watched the door being closed by Jiang Bei, relaxed, and muttered a little disappointed: "How many people will take off this green uniform during this reform."

Leaving the regimental headquarters building, Jiang Bei looked back at the regimental commander's office on the second floor, then boarded the military off-road vehicle and returned to the camp.

.........

"Chen Pai, what do you mean by so many people staring at us? Does everyone have to be assessed?"

At the foot of the hillside, a platoon of soldiers rested against the wall after running five kilometers. Xiwa looked at the cadres in the distance who were recording the achievements of the soldiers. Xiwa asked the platoon leader Chen Guotao standing in front of them.

Chen Guotao shook his head and said: "I know where to go, just train hard."

Xiwa nodded, and then saw Miao Lian who was still scolding Class Seven in the distance, sighed and said, "I don't know how Xiao Zhuang and the squad leader Old Pao are doing, whether they have passed the training camp, if Xiao Zhuang knows that Miao Lian will pass He will be leaving the army in two weeks, I don't know what he will do?"

When Chen Guotao heard the words, he thought of Zhuang Yan's character and his respect for Miao Lian. To be honest, he didn't know what Zhuang Yan would do.

But thinking that Zhuang Yan has not been eliminated now, Chen Guotao said: "Miao Lian doesn't want Zhuang Yan to know that he is leaving the army, so when Xiao Zhuang finds out, as his recruit company comrades, you have to persuade him hard Camps, running soldiers, Miao Lian, although I am reluctant to change jobs, but it is better for him to change jobs to government units at his current age. He has been in the army for so many years, and he spends less time with his family and leaves more. good."

Xiwa nodded: "Chen Pai, I'll persuade him, but I'm afraid he won't listen to me."

Chen Guotao shook his head: "I'll listen. He'll be angry at most. Can he still go after Miao Lian? That's against discipline."

.........

"It's time to come!"

In the conference room of the battalion headquarters, Zhou Jun glanced at the documents in his hand, then at the chief officers of the companies sitting in their seats, and said with a sigh.

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked up at Company Commander Miao, who was sitting on the chair next to Jiangbei, and remained silent.

They knew that Lao Miao was about to change jobs.

Jiang Bei picked up the document and said, "The soldiers will leave the barracks in a week. Each company must hold a farewell party for the soldiers before the specified time, so that the soldiers will leave the army without regret. The second thing is to do well. The work of veterans cannot be interrupted by the retirement of comrades-in-arms.”

"Understood!" Everyone said.

Jiang Bei nodded, and then looked at Lao Miao: "Lao Miao, since you changed jobs and got together with the soldiers who retired, and the new company commander has not yet arrived, I hope you can stand on the last post and send the soldiers After sending them off, leave."

After finishing speaking, Jiangbei handed the reconnaissance company's discharge list to Lao Miao.

"Yes, Battalion Commander, I must stand on the last post."

An old Miao heard Jiangbei's words, took the document with a blank face, and responded, as if he was about to leave the army, and taking off his uniform would have no effect on him.

Jiang Bei stood up and walked to Lao Miao, Lao Miao and others also stood up.

Jiang Bei looked at Lao Miao, whose eyes were still firm, Jiang Bei raised his arms, and gave Lao Miao a military salute very solemnly.

Seeing Jiang Bei salute the old Miao, the instructor Zhou Jun hurriedly led the chief officers of each company to salute the old Miao.

Lao Miao's complexion changed, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. In Jiang Bei's eyes, he seemed to have aged several years all of a sudden.

.........

There is no singing in the past, and today's camp cafeteria is unusually quiet, but it is indeed the most crowded time of the year.

The soldiers of the Yehu reconnaissance company stepped into the cafeteria first, followed by the soldiers of the battalion headquarters.

Jiang Bei and Zhou Jun followed Lao Miao and the deputy company commander, the instructor of the reconnaissance company, and finally walked in.

In the cafeteria, there are one or two veterans whose epaulettes have been removed on each table. This morning, in the auditorium of the regiment headquarters, the regimental head and political commissar represented all the cadres and soldiers of the [-]th regiment. The veterans' retirement ceremony was held, and the military ranks and epaulettes were all taken off by the chief officers of each company during the retirement ceremony.

Picking up the epaulets of military rank means that they have changed from serving soldiers to ordinary people, an ordinary person, and are no longer steel warriors holding steel guns and guarding the people.

Lao Miao hadn't taken off his epaulettes and military rank yet, so he had to wait for the soldiers to leave in the morning before he could leave the army.

Today's cooking class is very busy, I got up from the early hours of the morning to prepare for the farewell banquet this afternoon.

The dishes on the table are very rich, but they are also very special, because there is a bowl of dumplings in front of every veteran.

Enlisted noodles, rolled egg dumplings, when the Jiangbei recruits went to the company, they ate noodles, but now the soldiers leave the army, they eat dumplings.

The dumplings were served by Jiang Bei and Zhou Jun personally, not many, just a few for each person, this is a ceremony that everyone must have when they leave the army.

Jiang Bei and Zhou Jun walked in and came to their positions. Jiang Bei looked at the veteran soldiers who were very reluctant, waved his hands and said, "Sit! Let's start."

Neat and unified, one or two hundred people from the battalion headquarters and the reconnaissance company sat down in unison. At this time, the soldiers and cadres are all connected in their hearts.

He sat down, but no one moved. Jiang Bei immediately knew that he had to say something. He glanced at Zhou Jun, picked up the beer bottle, and opened it.

"Today is your last night in the army. The head of Dali and the political commissar have said it. I will just say a few words. I hope that the people of our first battalion, no matter where they are or what they do, will strive for the top and not be afraid of failure. , Dare to compete, don’t fade after leaving the army, the soldiers of the first battalion will always be the soldiers of the first battalion, the first battalion will always remember you, drink and eat today, okay! "

"Okay!" Everyone shouted loudly.

Jiang Bei nodded, opened the beer cap and said, "Then let's all go and drink!"

After Jiang Bei finished speaking, he finished a bottle of beer in one gulp.

"drink!"

Immediately, the only sounds in the cafeteria were the clinking of beer bottles and the voices of soldiers persuading them to drink.
