They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 227: Brigade Headquarters summoned, did Staff Chen appear in the newspaper again?

End of the meeting.

Chen Ming left the battalion headquarters combat command room and returned to the staff headquarters. He had just stretched his waist and couldn't sit still when the clerk Kong Wu hurried over to report.

"Staff Chen, during the meeting just now, the clerk from the brigade headquarters called and asked you to go to the brigade headquarters after the meeting."

"I said I was in a meeting at the time, but the people at the brigade headquarters didn't seem to be in a hurry and said it would be fine after the meeting."

"Going to the brigade headquarters?" Chen Ming asked doubtfully: "What about Battalion Commander Du and Instructor Zhang? Did they say they wanted to go there together?"

"No, I just told you to go there."

"okay, I get it."

Chen Ming responded, raising his hand helplessly and patting his forehead. He was thinking about taking a break just now. Training is not something that can be rushed. It can be arranged reasonably but step by step. I thought that a period of work was finally over, but who would have thought otherwise? .

Ever since he came to the 169th Battalion of the [-]th Brigade, he has been as busy as a top, as if there are a lot of things waiting for him all the time.

I finally got a chance to rest, but I still had something to deal with.

After coming out of the staff headquarters, Chen Ming went to the parking lot of the battalion headquarters and started the vehicle.

He estimated in his heart that this time the brigade headquarters asked him to go there. It was probably not the order of the chief of staff, but the brigade commander's intention. At this time, besides the confrontation with the first battalion, what else could be the reason?
Hearing what Kong Wu meant, the brigade headquarters' instructions were not urgent.

There was no need for Chen Ming to panic. He drove from the battalion headquarters and first went to the training ground to see if the work of each company could be carried out smoothly after the meeting just now.

There is no problem if the progress is slow, but I am afraid that the company commander below will have no idea. The current establishment of each company in the Fifth Battalion is relatively simple, and the pressure for cooperation between companies and platoons is not that great.

As long as they can follow the instructions at the meeting, improve efficiency in logistics support, and work hard on heavy tanks in the front row, the confrontation with the first battalion will not be too difficult.

After all, the fifth battalion is a reinforced battalion and has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.

Arriving at the training ground, Chen Ming inspected the area. The armored infantry company was gathering its backbones for a meeting, and the engineering detachment also led each squad and platoon to issue the latest policies. After the meeting, Battalion Commander Du Longfei came over early to supervise the progress.

Seeing Chen Ming coming over, he laughed and said: "Old Chen, I thought you would prepare for the next work after arranging the tasks and not worry about the situation in training. It seems that you can't sit still?"

"It doesn't matter. Since the brigade headquarters has issued an order for this confrontation with the First Battalion, it means that the above means support. You can also relax and treat it as an exercise. Don't care too much about the final result."

"Even if we lose the battle, it doesn't mean that we have no strength. After all, what the army needs is running-in, and haste makes waste."

"It doesn't mean that only victory can prove our ability. Losing means making mistakes. Training is also to lay the foundation."

After Du Longfei figured it out, he was worried that Chen Ming was too stressed, so he ran over to comfort him.

"Well, I know." Chen Ming glanced around, "Winning or losing is really not important, but our task is to try not to lose."

"By the way, the brigade headquarters arranged for me to go there just now. It should be the order of the Wang Brigade. It is probably also because of this confrontation."

"Eighty percent." Du Longfei nodded, "I thought just now that the brigade headquarters would let you pass."

"The new battalion is fighting against the old strong battalion. When the brigade headquarters hears this news, it will not remain indifferent. Chief of Staff Xu's personality is similar to yours. He is the type who dares to think and do things."

"But Wang Lu is much more stable. He considers things more comprehensively, but the problem is not big. When you see him later, you can explain the arrangements at the meeting again. Our application for confrontation is not blind confidence."

"I have just thought about the strengthening camp. Your ideas and arrangements are correct. Our current synthesis is not complete. The coordination is not difficult. The combat effectiveness is relatively fast. It is because the old comrades can improve at a fast pace."

"In one month's time, we may not lose this battle."

"You go ahead. I'll be watching over the training. If you have any questions, I'll communicate with you at any time."

"Okay, then, battalion commander, I'll go over first."

Chen Ming nodded. It was best to stare at Du Longfei from the training ground. He was the battalion commander and was most familiar with the first battalion's organization and combat habits.

Targeted training is always better than slow learning.

After a brief chat, Chen Ming bid farewell to the battalion commander and drove to the brigade headquarters.

The Fifth Battalion station is relatively remote and not close to the brigade headquarters. Chen Ming drove for nearly 10 minutes before arriving, without waiting for the vehicle to enter the gate.

From a distance, I saw Wang Junwei, commander of the 169th Brigade, standing not far from the office building chatting with a senior colonel.

The two were talking and laughing.

When he first came here to report, Chen Ming had never met the political commissar of the 169th Brigade, but he heard Du Longfei and Zhang Jintao tell a lot about the political commissar of the brigade.

If I guessed correctly.

It should be the leader next to Wang Lu.

Chen Ming quickly parked the vehicle in the brigade parking lot and strode towards the government building.

Before he could say hello, Wang Junwei smiled and waved: "Come on, come on, Chen Ming, come here."

"Old Xu, this is the chief staff officer of the [-]th Battalion arranged by above. This guy is really capable of doing things. Today I applied to Xu Shen to fight against the [-]st Battalion. He is more courageous than you and me. He dares to think and do what he does. He is a talent, haha .”

After Wang Junwei finished speaking, he pointed to the strong and majestic senior colonel next to him and introduced: "Chen Ming, this is Xu Guoyang, the political commissar of our 169th Brigade. He was the one who called you here just now."

Xu Guoyang? ! !
Chen Ming thought for a moment, then stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, comrade political commissar, comrade brigade commander, Chen Ming, staff officer of the fifth synthetic battalion of the 169th Brigade, reports, please give instructions from the commander."

"Well, not bad, I'm very motivated." Xu Guoyang stared at Chen Ming for a few times and replied with a smile.

"Chen Ming."

"arrive."

"Do you know why I asked you to come to the brigade headquarters this time?"

"The report to the chief is about the confrontation with the First Battalion."

Chen Ming responded truthfully. Unexpectedly, after Xu Guoyang heard this, he simply shook his head and smiled: "No, we are going to confront the First Battalion. You just need to communicate with the staff about this."

"This is a stage that the development of the Fifth Battalion must go through. It is natural for you to be ahead of schedule. Since the management of the establishment of the Fifth Battalion has been handed over to you, all the brigade headquarters can do is give full support."

"I came to see you for other matters."

Other things?

Chen Ming looked at Xu Guoyang in confusion. The biggest thing for the Fifth Battalion right now was confrontation. What else could be more important than this?
Seemingly sensing Chen Ming's doubts, political commissar Xu Guoyang took out a folded newspaper from his pocket with a smile, handed it over and said: "Take a look, this is the news about the rescue of Ludao Wugai Mountain before you. "

"It has been published in the military newspaper of the war zone, including this year's recruitment work. The war zone also deliberately publicized some of the rescue events at that time."

"You're a celebrity now."

Chen Ming reached out and took the newspaper. If Xu Guoyang hadn't mentioned this matter, he would have almost forgotten it.

The Fifth Battalion is busy with endless things every day. Who can remember about rescue every day if they have nothing to do?

I opened the newspaper and looked at it. It was different from the special topic on recruits at that time. That time it only occupied half of the page, but this time it occupied almost an entire page of the newspaper.

The title is "Although disasters are ruthless, there is great love in the world, the lonely brave man in the darkness." 》

At present, the reconstruction work on the Wugui Mountain side has basically returned to normal, everything is on track, and the impact has been minimized.

Only one issue of information about rescue can be published successfully.

The photographer and editor were both Chai Shuyao. Chen Ming looked over and over. There was nothing special about the news in the newspaper. It was just that he participated in the rescue at that time. The information about Long Ya was blurred, and most of the credit and performance during the rescue were forgotten. He alone occupied it.

In the pictures, there are figures carrying people on their backs, or busying themselves in the ruins with crowbars. These pictures were taken relatively late, and there is no such miserable scene as at the beginning.

Chen Ming looked over it and didn't think anything was wrong. Except for Longya's people, no one came out. He assigned the rescue unit at that time to the fifth battalion. Everything was as usual.

"Chief, this is the military report."

Chen Ming originally wanted to say that the things recorded on it were nothing worthy of attention, but he had already finished reading them.

Xu Guoyang seemed to have misunderstood Chen Ming's meaning and said with a smile: "I know that part of the content written above is a bit biased, but there is nothing I can do about it."

"The purpose is to promote the spirit of selflessness. I went to the military region for a meeting in the morning, and the head of the military region specifically mentioned this matter."

"This year the recruit training center will be led by our 169th Brigade. When the new comrades are assigned to the battalion, Brigadier Wang will go there, and each battalion will send some officers to serve as new trainees."

"Considering that the current establishment of the fifth battalion is not complete, you don't need to arrange for officers to go there, but you have to take time to go there, especially the opening ceremony of the first day of the recruit training center." "Shall I go?"

Chen Ming looked at Xu Guoyang in surprise, wondering which song he was singing.

The recruit training center is organized in the first half and second half of every year and is taken over by people transferred from different brigades, but this has nothing to do with him.

Let's not talk about the fact that the Fifth Battalion is currently unable to leave. Even if everything goes well for the Fifth Battalion, he is a chief staff officer and has no experience in leading troops. He has not been able to play any role in the past. It would be more practical to arrange more veterans.

There is no hard requirement for a company commander of a group army's new recruits. He must be a captain. For example, senior non-commissioned officers in the army can also be qualified, and any third or fourth term is acceptable.

After all, there are thousands of recruits in the training center, which will form more than a dozen recruit battalions, and there will be dozens of company commanders. There are not that many captains from any brigade.

The battalion commander usually just arranges for the captain or major to oversee the coordinated management.

It's not an established team, it just undergoes half-year training. The veterans have more experience and are easier to lead.

Seeing Chen Ming's delay in responding, brigade commander Wang Junwei quickly realized that he had misunderstood.

He smiled and explained: "Okay, the issue of leading troops has nothing to do with you. The leadership of the new comrade will not arrange you there."

"What the political commissar means is that your deeds have been used in many places in this year's recruitment propaganda. You are also included in the recruitment advertisements placed in various regions by the Eastern Theater Command."

"At the military district meeting in the morning, someone proposed that you come forward at the training center and talk about all your experiences from joining the army to the present to boost the morale of the new comrades."

"Just participate in the opening ceremony."

"That's right." Xu Guoyang nodded, "This was raised by someone at the military region meeting, and it is also my intention."

"Your deeds are most suitable as positive publicity, so that new comrades can use you as a benchmark and work hard to develop a new style in the military camp, instead of asking you to lead the troops."

"Well, don't worry too much about getting ready. There's still about a month left, so it's not a rush."

"Yes, Chief, this is no problem."

Chen Ming grinned. If he was just allowed to show his nakedness for a day and tell the new recruits about his experiences after joining the army, that would be no problem.

Then he is very good.

If you just talk about your past deeds, you can successfully complete the task.

As for leading soldiers, you can't say that you can't do it. He could do whatever Zhao Lifei, the recruit squad leader, did before, and it wasn't difficult at all.

It's just that half a year is too long. It's not easy to stay in the training center for half a year.

Arrangements for the training center are over.

Wang Junwei took over the conversation and said: "Okay, as for the opening ceremony, you should prepare more yourself. The head of the military region will be there when the time comes. Try to perform better."

"I'm not worried about this aspect. Now let's talk about the confrontation with the First Battalion. How did you arrange it?"

"You saw the establishment of the five battalions when we first came here. You should be clear. Once the battle strength is truly achieved, it should not be difficult to defeat the first battalion if it is commanded properly."

"But now you are all comrades from various units. You have been temporarily transferred there. Many comrades even do not understand synthetic warfare. If you rashly engage in confrontation at this time, you must consider the morale aspect."

"Yes, Brigadier, I know this."

Facing Wang Lu's inquiry, Chen Ming had nothing to hide. He immediately explained the architecture of the visual terminal system, the people from Longya who came to help, and the advantages and disadvantages of simulated combat.

Wang Junwei knew about the situation at the Fifth Battalion even if Chen Ming didn't tell him, but what he wanted was Chen Ming's future plans for the Fifth Battalion.

As well as the idea of ​​​​confronting the First Battalion and subsequent arrangements.

If the fight is purely for confrontation, then Wang Junwei will consider canceling it. After all, resource consumption is one aspect, and more importantly, it cannot damage the confidence of the Fifth Battalion.

Based on the current gap between the two sides, no one can guarantee that once a war breaks out, the Fifth Battalion will be defeated without the ability to fight back.

It was resolved within minutes.

If there is such a possibility, it is better not to fight.

But Wang Junwei heard about the speed of progress and the impact on morale brought by simulated combat, and then heard about Chen Ming's logistics arrangements and tactical adjustments to tanks and armor.

Combined with the organization arrangements of a single company of the fifth battalion, he finally nodded and said: "Okay, you can arrange these."

"Let's go. As the saying goes, you can fight a hundred battles if you know yourself and the enemy. You do know the organization of the first battalion, but after all, you have never been exposed to a synthetic battalion before, let alone a heavily equipped synthetic battalion."

"I'll take you to the first camp to see their training and their coordination, and then consider whether to continue your persistence."

"Let's go, Lao Xu, let's go over to the first camp and have a look."

"There is no problem with Chen Ming's arrangement. All aspects have been taken into consideration. If you can still maintain your current confidence after watching the first battalion's training, then you can start applying to the superiors for this confrontation arrangement."

"Okay." Political Commissar Xu Guoyang nodded.

The three people left the brigade headquarters in a military vehicle and headed straight for the first battalion's station.

The formation of the fifth battalion is not just a matter of the 169th Brigade. The 71st Army Headquarters has always been paying attention to it. What's more, the confrontation between battalions involves more than 2000 units involved in the battle.

This kind of military operation must also be reported to the brigade headquarters.

Traveling with the two heads of the brigade, the brigade had special guards driving the car. Chen Ming sat in the passenger seat, listening to the chat behind him, and turned his eyes to the window, paying attention to the route forward.

The time he came to the 169th Brigade was still too short, and he didn't even know where many of the camp's garrison locations were.

While Chen Ming was memorizing the route, he was thinking about what Xu Guoyang had just arranged for him to go to the recruit training center and attend the opening ceremony.

There was a trance in my heart.

I didn't expect that I would be able to attend such a training ceremony.

In my impression, Chen Ming has never thought too much about leading troops.

In fact, the time to put on the military uniform was not too long for Chen Ming. It was only more than two years. In a flash, many things have changed.

He is no longer the private soldier who knew nothing.

I remember when he first entered the artillery brigade recruit company, he didn’t even have a military rank. Every day, like a group of young people who also had military dreams, he became curious about everything in the military camp. The stern black-faced squad leader used a small yellow basin in the canteen for the first time. Eating the noodles is still fresh in my memory.

At that time, the squad leaders and the veterans didn't eat. Each one was more enthusiastic than the other, with evil smiles on their faces, coaxing the recruits to eat more.

That moved a group of new recruits to a complete mess. At home, except for their parents, who would worry so much about whether they can have enough to eat.

One by one, they ate with all their strength.

At that time, he didn't understand what a "universal little yellow basin" was. Before he came to the army, he could occasionally see ridicule on the Internet, and he entered an unfamiliar environment.

Unless they are mentally prepared from the beginning, most things will be forgotten. Like a good baby, they will do whatever the monitor says.

Later, shots were fired, and the people in the same dormitory were so excited that they didn't sleep much all night, if it weren't for the squad leader of the recruit company who stayed in the same dormitory with them that night.

It is estimated that the night before the gun ceremony, more than half of the company could not sleep. Every time they thought about it, they were so excited.

Later, when the recruit training was over, the comrades in the same dormitory who were about to leave were in the recruit company camp, braving the cold wind and getting familiar with the plants and trees there.

Chen Ming remembered that someone asked at the time if someone would remember every bit of the recruit company after they were dismissed from the company. After all, that was the place they wanted to escape from in the first place.

No one responded to this question at the time, and only he responded: Yes, although he had feelings at the time, not much.

Now is the recruitment season again, and the new comrades who enlisted in the first half of the year are about to enter the camp. When thinking about this issue again, Chen Ming is deeply touched. Indeed, he will remember every bit of the past.

I dreamed of going back to the recruit training ground at midnight. There were too many memories in it. Unfortunately, nothing could go back.

Some of my comrades back then have been out of the army for half a year and have taken off their military uniforms.

And he is still moving forward.

Just when Chen Ming's mind was lost in memories, the car came to a steady stop.

The first battalion has arrived! !
