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

Chapter 232: The martial arts field is rekindled, and comrades gather together
early morning.

In early spring, the fog has not completely dissipated, and the crisp cold wind blows across the neck, still bringing a slight chill.

The noise of the fifth battalion had begun to fill the air.

Early in the morning, each company blew the assembly whistle in a tacit understanding, and soldiers from one team after another gathered in front of the company headquarters.

"Comrades, today is the day when our fifth battalion and the first battalion will fight. The battalion commander and Staff Officer Chen said that if we win, everything will be as usual when we come back, and we will prepare for the war and train the troops."

"Losing, take your backpack and your little yellow basin. Where did you come from? Where are you going back? When we came here, many of our comrades didn't understand combined warfare, and we didn't even know how to fight combined."

"But it doesn't matter. When we come here, there are backbone teachers, squad leaders give lectures, and comrades from the staff teach little by little. Everyone has made progress, learned how to fight, and integrated into the fifth battalion."

"Now, some people want us to go back to our homes and want us to disband. What should we do?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The roaring sound, together with the cool breeze, spread hundreds of meters away. The company commanders and instructors of each company were mobilizing before the war.

At the company gate, battalion commander Du Longfei led Chen Ming and Zhang Jintao around to inspect each company.

The new battalion has a new atmosphere. There are many places in the fifth battalion, many indicators, many opportunities, and a large gap for deputy companies and deputy instructors. Once completed, a large number of personnel will be promoted to rank.

More than a month of running-in is enough to give the soldiers here a sense of belonging. No matter what the outcome of the confrontation with the first battalion, at least the morale is high.

"Haha, this slogan makes me want to drive a car and fight with the First Battalion." Du Longfei laughed out loud, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

Not wrong either.

Almost all the details of the establishment of the fifth battalion are carried out by the staff department. Such great progress and changes are due to Chen Ming's continuous hard work.

"Battal Commander, it's time to set off after the mobilization. We are more than ten kilometers away from the Group Army's No. [-] Exercise Field. The chariots are slow to maneuver. There is no need to arrange tractors at close range. We are a new battalion, so go ahead and prepare."

Chen Ming suggested while looking at the preparations of each company outside.

This confrontation was not planned by the group army, but applied by the fifth battalion themselves and approved by the brigade headquarters. There was no specific arrangement whether to fight in the morning or in the afternoon.

However, compared to the First Battalion, theirs is a new unit after all. For the first large-scale confrontation, it is better to prepare in advance to avoid being in a hurry after getting to the place.

You can think about it as you normally would, but you can’t let it slip today.

When Du Longfei heard Chen Ming's proposal, he nodded in agreement and said: "Okay, let's do this, Lao Zhang, arrange for the cooking staff of each company to leave early and go to the martial arts field to clean up the canteen there."

"Yesterday, the brigade notified the comrades of the Joint Logistics Department to prepare enough dishes. They will be shipped over today. They said that many units will go to watch the battle this time. We have also made preparations in advance."

"As for the departure time of each company, I will go to the brigade headquarters now to discuss with the commander. If it is possible to set off, I will send you a message. Lao Chen will lead the team there first."

"If my guess is correct, I'm afraid the First Battalion is starting to prepare now. Battalion Commander Shan is cautious. If there is any movement here, they will follow and set off."

"Old Chen, organize a meeting before departure. We must not lose this confrontation."

"I know." Chen Ming said with a smile. He had been preparing for so long not just to lose.

The division of labor among the three acts.

Battalion Commander Du Longfei went to the brigade headquarters to make a report. Instructor Zhang Jintao arranged to keep an eye on the logistics and transportation situation, while Chen Ming was in charge of the departure of the brigade.

About half an hour later, news came from the brigade headquarters that it was time to move.

The moment I received the news.

Each company commander began to report.

"Report to Staff Officer Chen, all members of the armored infantry company are ready!!"

"Report, all members of the artillery company are ready."

"Report, all members of the tank company are ready."

~~~~~~~
"Report, the battalion headquarters' participating units are ready."

Looking at the more than 1000 soldiers gathered on the vehicle and artillery field, standing straight like javelins, Chen Ming strode around the reporting company commander.

Taking the loudspeaker from Kong Wu, he came to a tank, held the front cover with his right hand, and jumped up to stand on the main battle tank.

This sudden movement shocked the soldiers lined up in the distance.

All eyes looked over.

They all know that the staff officer Chen Ming is different from the staff officers of other units. This is a staff officer with a force value.

Chen Ming ignored their differences, swept his sharp eyes across the crowd, raised the loudspeaker and loudly said: "Comrades, today is the first real battle for our 169th Brigade Fifth Combined Battalion."

"Are you ready?"

"Ready at all the time!!"

"Okay, very good. Fighting is the source of progress for the troops. Today, I want to see your higher fighting spirit, broader vision, and more pragmatic style."

"As early as the first day of our fifth battalion meeting, I told everyone that if the fifth battalion wants to be successfully established, we must first have the sense of urgency to do nothing for a day and be restless for three days, to open roads over mountains and build bridges when encountering water. Spirit, a can-do attitude of rolling up your sleeves and throwing yourself down.”

"Now, we have survived the most difficult stage, and today is the time to verify it."

"I would like to send a few more words to the comrades. It may be that the battle after today will be very difficult and even helpless. But comrades, please do not be discouraged, do not give up, and have the strong determination to stick to the green hills and never give up until the goal is achieved. A strong will and the courage to repack and start again.”

"If you have the courage to break Loulan, you will never give it back. You must work hard and start a new journey. Today is the most important day for our Fifth Battalion."

"Let the leaders above see that even though our fifth battalion has only been established for a short time, we still have a fighting spirit, a rock-solid confidence, and an indomitable courage to move forward."

"Combat effectiveness is not everything of an army. Hard work, ruthlessness, and the courage to fight and kill are the inheritance of an army."

"Comrades, are you ready to start a new journey?" "Always ready! Always ready!! Always ready!!!"

A louder roar echoed over the chariot and artillery field, reaching straight into the sky. The chariot was in front, and the soldiers were behind. The roar was so angry that the surrounding company commanders were slightly moved.

For a newly formed unit, the first commander is very important because his temper and character will most likely be passed on to the new unit.

Chen Ming rushed out to shout for mobilization at this time, which was to cultivate this indomitable momentum.

The determination to fight to the end.

So what about new units? As long as they dare to fight and fight hard, they will be the prototype of the future ace.

Although many soldiers in the rear did not hear what Chen Ming said clearly, they saw the figure standing on the top of the tank.

Under the illumination of the rising sun, it is particularly bright.

Unknowingly, the expressions of many soldiers also became more determined. This is the most intuitive effect of the atmosphere.

"Get in the car and let's go!!"

Chen Ming roared angrily.

Thousands of soldiers began to rush towards the tanks of their respective companies. In just 5 minutes, each company was ready to go.

At the entrance and exit of the vehicle and artillery field, main battle tanks, missile vehicles, and armored vehicles lined up in long lines with great momentum.

A squadron of helicopters took off, hovering on top of more than 200 combat vehicles, and set off with them.

The cold light is sharp and domineering!
The rumbling sound overwhelmed the entire audience.

Chen Ming sat in the front row of the military vehicle and clenched his fists tightly. He was not as calm as he appeared.

He was the one who facilitated the confrontation with the First Battalion.

Whether it is in the recruit company, Yuanhuo Camp, National Defense University, or Longya.

In the past, commanding hundreds or even thousands of troops in combat was just a matter of imagination and paper talk, and ultimately nothing could be accomplished.

But today is different.

He wants to lead the fifth battalion and have a head-on confrontation with the first battalion.

The long procession set off with a rumble. Chen Ming did not issue any instructions. The armored infantry company still arranged for the ground guidance vehicle to lead the line, driving towards the No. [-] martial arts arena with billowing dust along the way.

On the way, I met some officers who were driving out. They were surprised to see such a large group traveling. They parked their cars on one side, got out of the car and looked at the convoy thoughtfully.

And this time.

In the No. 71 martial arts training ground of the [-]st Army.

Wang Junwei, commander of the 169th Brigade, has arrived, including the 5th Brigade, the 35th Brigade, the 235th Brigade, the 178th Brigade, the Special Operations Brigade, the Artillery Brigade, the Air Defense Brigade, the Air Assault Brigade, and the Industrial and Chemical Brigade. .

The fifth battalion was formed by recruiting people from units like theirs. Now that they heard that they were going to compete with the established strong battalions, they couldn't sit still.

Especially the artillery brigade, Chen Ming's old unit, was crowded with people.

Chu Xiongqiao, commander of the first company of Yuanhuo Second Battalion, instructor Jiang Peng, and Wang Shuaibing, Wei Chongchong, and Dong Ke, who were Chen Ming's former recruit company's comrades, came over.

Artillery Brigade Commander Tang Zhen was the first person to value Chen Ming, and could be said to be the earliest "Bo Le". Now that he learned about Chen Ming's movements in the 169th Brigade, he notified the people below to come together to help.

He arrived earlier than Wang Junwei.

Wang Shuaibing stood on tiptoe and looked outside the martial arts arena from time to time, with an anxious look on his face. He scratched his head and put his hands on his hips, as anxious as an ant on a soldering iron.

Almost jumped up on the spot.

When the instructor Jiang Peng saw him like this, he smiled and patted his shoulder: "Shuai Bing, you and Chen Ming have a good relationship. It is even more positive to know that you are coming to watch the game this time."

"Then why didn't you sign up when we sent people to the 169th Brigade to form a new battalion? Chen Ming was the chief staff officer there, equivalent to the battalion-level chief of staff. His position was higher than mine. It was easy to arrange for you."

"Haha, instructor, please don't seduce me. I'm a fool like me. I know how much I weigh. If Brother Chen is a platoon leader, then if I go over and work hard, I can still help him a little, but he is not. I Such a past will only serve as a hindrance.”

"If the company knew that I was Brother Chen's comrade, wouldn't that embarrass him?"

Wang Shuaibing explained nonchalantly, while Jiang Peng smiled bitterly and stopped persuading.

While we were waiting anxiously at the martial arts arena, the ground began to tremble slightly.

"coming?"

No. [-] from each unit looked towards the entrance.

There were still 500 meters away from the martial arts field. The fifth battalion led by Chen Ming had indeed arrived, but coincidentally, the first battalion also arrived.

The two battalions totaled nearly [-] tanks. It was simply unrealistic to move forward in parallel, so they had to enter the battlefield separately.

The instructor was sitting in the car and saw the first battalion coming from the other way. He looked at Chen Ming worriedly: "Old Chen, how about we slow down and let the first battalion pass first?"

"After all, they are an old company, so we shouldn't fight too hard."

"No, the fight is about to begin, why should we stick to the rules?" Chen Ming smiled, picked up the car radio and began to give instructions.

"The whole battalion moved out quickly. The tank company arranged five tanks to block the passage of the first battalion and asked them to wait while we entered."

"Tank company received!"
