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

Chapter 268 Awarding the Flag, Tiger and Wolf Camp
"That's right. Wang Brigade said that this is just a preliminary draft of the war zone, but the final result will not be too different from this."

Chen Ming explained.

As soon as this kind of designation is announced, it is almost finalized and there will be no changes.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be spread.

When he first came over to the fifth battalion, Chen Ming wondered why the 169th Synthetic Brigade suddenly wanted to form such a large-scale reinforced medium-sized synthetic battalion.

You know, the number of the fifth battalion is several hundred more than the sum of the third and fourth battalions. It makes sense to say that it is to fill the overall combat strength of the 169th Brigade, but there is no need to go to such a big expense.

The role of the mixed brigade itself is towards logistics, and it serves as a replacement task on the battlefield.

For example, if the heavy equipment brigade is disabled, the first and second battalions of the 169th Brigade can quickly make up for it. When the light brigade is not mobile enough to support the battlefield situation, the third and fourth battalions will make up for it.

If the air defense battalions, artillery battalions, and strategic support battalions of other brigades are destroyed, the mixed brigades in the rear can be quickly replenished.

It is mainly a strategic position to fill vacancies, but now there is no such thing as a mixed brigade, so it is mixed according to the synthetic method.

Normal training, weapons and equipment are in accordance with the highest standards of the military region, and the strategic status is different. Suddenly, such a large five battalions were established.

A bit nondescript.

At that time, Chen Ming was quite puzzled. Looking back now, I am afraid that the higher-ups had already thought of strengthening the 169th Brigade.

The brigade chief of staff said at the time that the strategic position of the mixed brigade was unclear and easy to change without affecting the overall situation. This statement was correct.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, no wonder the political commissar is eager to introduce you to someone. It seems that there is really going to be a big move from above."

Du Longfei took the military region documents and looked through them over and over, only to find a fax with a few words printed on it that he almost tore through. Then he reluctantly handed it to the instructor.

"I don't want it. I've read it all. It's just twenty or thirty fucking words. You can read it for a long time." Zhang Jintao pushed Du Longfei aside in disgust.

He turned to look at Chen Ming.

"Old Chen, the number depends on the situation. It will take a long time to complete the war zone."

"Because once the designation here is granted, it will be equivalent to being directly under the war zone. There will still be some confusion about how to strengthen the 709th Division, how to arrange new stations, and how to train."

"No matter how we coordinate, it's all a bunch of things."

"This is not urgent. The key is what are you going to do about the sorority when the political commissar says about it? Go and meet?"

"Of course I want to meet you. Do you want a wife from the state?" Du Longfei raised his eyebrows. After accepting the conversation, he ran to the car and fumbled around for a long time before taking out the sorority documents that the political commissar signed up for Chen Ming.

It's a document, more like a photo album, with some lesbians who also signed up.

Of course, anyone can see that the vast majority of registrations are made by political cadres like Xu Guoyang, who will be killed first and then reported, and only talk to the parties after registering.

That's what they like to do.

"Pooh"

After sipping a little saliva on his finger, Du Longfei began to look through it with interest.

Just watch it, this guy also acts as a mentor and starts commenting.

"Huh? This is good. This is not bad. He's good-looking. He's a scientific research technician in the air defense brigade. He's 32 years old. Major. Well, he's a bit old."

"Hey, this is wonderful. The little girl from the telephone company is 28 years old. She just wears black-rimmed glasses and looks like she doesn't have the aura of a big girl. She's a bit dull and doesn't match Lao Chen."

"Hey, engineer of the UAV brigade of the Special Forces Brigade, this one looks good. He is 31 years old, a lieutenant colonel, and he is from Sichuan. When talking about this Sichuan girl, you will know that Sazi is called Luanmian, and his words are interesting. .”

"Oh, this is also okay"

When Du Longfei was fascinated by his research, Zhang Jintao snatched the folder away and said with a speechless face: "Old Du, you are also the battalion commander after all, so be more serious."

"This is a sorority party prepared by the political commissar for Lao Chen. What nonsense are you doing there?"

"I'm afraid, Lao Chen is not an outsider. What's wrong with me helping him advise?" Du Longfei laughed twice and looked at Chen Ming, who was silent.

"Old Chen, what exactly do you think?"

"You can't refuse the political commissar's kindness. This is related to your promotion and you can't be careless."

"do not know."

Chen Ming spread his hands. This kind of sorority has no meaning. If he is also in his 30s and is in a hurry, it's okay. He can go and have a look. The success rate of this kind is quite high.

But the current situation is that he needs to start a family, or the people above him feel that he wants to start a family. On this premise, the purpose of joining the sorority is too clear.

If you are irresponsible to yourself, you are also irresponsible to others. There is really no need.

Du Longfei and Zhang Jintao had nothing to say when they saw Chen Ming being so resistant.

Let's do it step by step. There's no need to worry too much anyway. The most important thing right now is not going to a sorority party.

The three ended up joking.

Returning to the battalion headquarters, we began to discuss the next plan for the fifth battalion, including changes in the organization of each company. The armored infantry company was used as a pilot company and changed towards a fire company.

The whole camp is committed to discipline and setting an example, and everything is going on in full swing.

The camp party committee and the staff department each performed their duties and started busy in their respective positions.

Time flies.

Soon a month passed.

It was already June and the hot summer was approaching. The morning was a little better and quite cool.

The entire battalion of soldiers gathered at the Fifth Battalion Vehicle and Artillery Field early in the morning, including the battalion headquarters, engineers, and cooking squad.

Everyone is busy with shovels, brooms, and shovels. This is a new camp, and no large-scale activities have been held before.

But today is different.

Today is the day when their fifth battalion is officially awarded the designation and battalion flag.

Battalion Commander Du Longfei stood at the door of the vehicle and artillery field, shouting loudly: "Be careful about everything and clean everything here."

"Each company commander arranged for someone to mark out the personnel list of your entire company, including the original units, and submit it to the battalion headquarters today."

"As long as our fifth battalion is established today, given a designation, and becomes the official combat order of the people's army, I will have to transfer all the food relations of all our comrades even if I am busy for a month."

"From today on, we are also children of father and mother, not stepmother. Please cheer up and don't let me see who is wilting today. It's like losing his soul. Then don't blame me. Get rid of you."

"Today is the birthday of our fifth battalion. Birthday is a day worth remembering."

"A ceremony will be held in this field later, and the camp flag will be awarded here. We all have to welcome a new beginning here. We must clean up."

"Do you understand everything?"

"clear!!!"

In the car and artillery field, high-pitched responses continued to be heard from the crowd.

Today is indeed a day to be happy about.

Chen Ming led all the staff of the staff and came with shovels and shovels to help.

The area of ​​​​the vehicle and artillery field is large enough, but it doesn't matter. There are so many people in the fifth battalion that they can't hold it, and they are very motivated.

Their task was to clean up the flat area of ​​the vehicle and artillery field, even if there was a raised lump of earth, they had to flatten it.

Even if there are a few weeds, they will be discovered by sharp-eyed warriors and uprooted.

It can be seen from their actions how happy the soldiers of the fifth battalion were at this time.

Can you be unhappy?
The flag presentation ceremony and the awarding of a designation are of self-evident significance to a unit and must be treated with dignity.

After battalion commander Du Longfei and instructor Zhang Jintao arranged their work, they also enthusiastically joined the organizing team.

The whole battalion was in peace, and with all their strength, the open space of the vehicle and artillery field was quickly cleared.

Ma Hongjie, commander of the armored infantry company, went to the joint logistics department early in the morning to borrow banners, flowers, and red carpets, and led the soldiers to decorate the venue.

A group of people are very busy.

After this month of rectification, there has not been much progress in this aspect, which is quite difficult in itself.

It takes time to get used to it, little by little, and you can't rush these things.

But when it comes to the overall quality and cohesion of the soldiers of the fifth battalion, it far exceeds that of a month ago.

The time soon came to eight o'clock in the morning.

Amid everyone's eager anticipation, six military vehicles drove toward the fifth battalion.

Battalion Commander Du Longfei, instructor Zhang Jintao, and chief staff officer Chen Ming stood at the entrance of the vehicle and artillery field to greet them.

The other soldiers had already formed a formation, standing there waiting for the arrival of the leader above.

The roar of the car engine came, and many of the soldiers in the formation clenched their fists in excitement.No matter how well they performed in the past, or how brilliant their results were during the military training, this was the first time that their fifth battalion had a leader from above in a real sense.

The vehicle stopped, and brigade commander Wang Junwei, political commissar Xu Guoyang, chief of staff Xu Wenqian, and the last to get off the vehicle, the commander-in-chief of the 71st Army Feng Chunyang, appeared at the entrance of the vehicle and artillery field.

Comrades from the rear military region held a folded red flag in their hands, although the flag had not yet been unfolded.

Several people present began to get excited.

That was the glory earned by all the soldiers of the fifth battalion after months of hard work. Not only the flag, but also a stack of certificates of honor. It was the collective second-class merit they earned on the battlefield of the military training.

These honors that originally belonged to the fifth battalion were all here today.

Du Longfei, Zhang Jintao, and Chen Ming had all put on their regular uniforms, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, comrade brigade commander, comrade political commissar, comrade chief of staff. All personnel of the fifth combined battalion have been assembled. The executor is Du Longfei, commander of the fifth battalion. Please give instructions from the commander."

"Okay, very good."

Commander-in-Chief Feng Chunyang praised them, strode past the three of them, and came to the open space in front of the vehicle and artillery field. He looked up at the rows of soldiers lined up in the distance, his eyes shining with hope.

The armored infantry company parked all its armored vehicles at the rear, and the soldiers lined up at the front.

That resolute face and heroic figure gave Feng Chunyang a different style.

Next to each other are tank companies, artillery companies, engineering detachments, helicopter squadrons, etc.

The tanks and fighter planes were parked at the rear, and the soldiers lined up in front, with more than 1000 people and more than 200 tanks.

They were forced to occupy the posture of a million-strong army.

Feng Chunyang nodded and strode up to the high platform prepared by the Fifth Battalion for this ceremony. He also climbed up step by step from the grassroots level without so many twists and turns.

There is no need for anyone to be the host and give a lot of opening remarks.

Standing on the high platform, looking at the majestic figures below the stage and the expectant eyes of the entire fifth battalion, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zhensheng said: "Comrades, I know that you are very excited at this moment. This is the ultimate result of your efforts."

"I am as happy as you are, because I see in you the spirit of a soldier, your indomitable will, and your courage to fight."

"You have been waiting for this day for a long time, right?"

"Yes, chief!!!"

Under the stage, all the soldiers of the fifth battalion roared loudly, as if they wanted to convey all their energy and spirit through their voices.

"Okay, now I can inform the comrades that you have been waiting."

"Although I came a little late, no one can take away the glory that belongs to you. Today is a moment worth remembering for all of us. It is also the birthday of your fifth battalion."

"Of course, starting from today, you may have to change your title. Instead of the fifth battalion, you will have the third battalion."

Third camp? ! !

Feng Chunyang's words confused the soldiers in the audience. When Chen Ming got the serial number from the brigade headquarters, he did not make a battalion-wide announcement.

This is an uncertain matter in itself, but who knows, there has been no movement for a month, and last night it was suddenly announced that the fifth battalion would be awarded the battalion flag today.

Looking at the confused soldiers in the audience, Feng Chunyang did not intend to explain more, and waved to the side. Xu Guoyang, political commissar of the 169th Brigade, quickly came to the stage and handed over the document in his hand.

Feng Chunyang glanced at it and raised his hand to suppress the restless crowd.

Changxiao said: "Comrades, let's not discuss it now. The specific arrangements will be explained later. Now I will announce the designation of your third battalion."

clap clap clap! ! !
At the entrance of the vehicle and artillery field, Chen Ming and others took the lead in applauding. In an instant, more than 1000 soldiers in the entire field applauded in unison.

Thunderous applause resounded throughout the sky.

No matter whether it is the fifth battalion or the third battalion, they have their own establishment, and their past efforts have finally paid off.

After waiting for about 20 seconds, the applause slowly subsided. Feng Chunyang picked up the manuscript and read loudly: "According to the joint order of the Army Headquarters and the Eastern Theater Command, the former Eastern Theater Command 71st Army Synthetic 169th Brigade was officially appointed. The fifth battalion designation is: 71th Division of the 709st Group Army of the Eastern Theater Command, 169th Mechanized Synthetic Brigade, 063rd Mechanical Synthetic Regiment Third Synthetic Battalion."

"The 709th Division, codenamed Strategic Assault Division, codenamed the third synthetic battalion: Tiger Wolf Battalion."

"Comrades, this is an unparalleled honor. It also comes from the recognition of you by the head of the military department and the chief of the theater. It is also the achievement you have worked hard with your sweat and the dignity you have defended."

"Next, Brigadier Wang Junwei will personally confer the flag to the Tiger and Wolf Battalion."

Feng Chunyang's resolute and resolute character was fully revealed here. After announcing his serial number and code name, he walked off the stage without hesitation.

At this time, all the soldiers of the fifth battalion were excited but also a little confused.

The fifth battalion was replaced by the third battalion. Apart from being uncomfortable with it, everything else was fine. Anyway, it wasn't like they were scattering people.

But the question is, where did the 709th Division come from?

What happened to the strategic assault division?

Since the division was transformed into a brigade, the Army has no division-level units except for the Kyoto Garrison and the Southern Xinjiang and Xinjiang Provincial Military Regions?
But at this time, no one explained to them, and the flag-giving ceremony at the Tiger and Wolf Camp began.

A group of soldiers, confused and excited, all looked up at the brigade commander.

Tiger and Wolf Battalion, a codename full of blood and attack power, satisfies all the fantasies of a soldier, be it the third battalion or the fifth battalion.

From then on, Tiger and Wolf Camp was their code name, and they could proudly introduce themselves to any unit they went to after leaving the military camp.

They are from the Tiger and Wolf Battalion of the 709th Division. Although there is currently only one battalion in the entire division and the other units have not changed their designations, it is still an honor.

The future Eastern Theater Strategic Assault Division is the earliest and only code name awarded by the military ministry.

The flag presentation began.

The eyes of all the soldiers turned to the front again. The code name was the glory of the entire army.

The flag is the soul of a combat unit.

At this time, no one was more excited than the soldiers of the fifth battalion.

Du Longfei, Zhang Jintao, and Chen Ming stood neatly at the front of the queue, ready to receive the flag.

Brigadier Wang Junwei personally served as the flag bearer, and two guards behind him served as flag guards with submachine guns.

The ceremony was not very solemn, but it shocked everyone present.

Wang Junwei stretched out his hands to hold the camp flag and shouted: "Let's go together."

The words fell and the footsteps moved.

The flag bearer and flag guard walked with standard steps and delivered the camp flag to Du Longfei's hand. The moment they received the flag, all the commanders and soldiers of the fifth battalion stared at the flag in the battalion commander's hand.

No one knows what they are thinking, maybe even they themselves cannot describe their mood at this moment.

But there is no doubt that at this moment, in their hearts, all the efforts they have made in the past are worth it.

After Du Longfei raised the camp flag, he unrolled it without hesitation, turned around and waved the flag to the more than 1000 soldiers behind him.

Hunting into the wind.

All the soldiers in the vehicle and artillery field looked at the bright flags with solemn expressions and saluted in unison.

No matter how solemn the flag-presenting ceremony is, it is usually impossible for a brigade commander or a dignified colonel to serve as the flag-bearer. But today, their Tiger Wolf Battalion did it. This is also a rare honor.

When Wang Junwei saw all the soldiers saluting, a smile appeared on his lips, he turned around and strode to the stage.

"Comrades, from this moment on, you have your own number and your own camp flag."

"The military flag is a symbol of your unity and unified command, and a symbol of military honor. It carries the soul of an army and represents life and death."

"Can you understand the meaning?"

"Defend to the death. Defend to the death. Defend to the death."

As Wang Junwei finished speaking, all the soldiers on the vehicle and artillery field roared loudly. The sound became louder and louder, shaking the sky and rushing out of the sky.

This momentum even made many senior officers from the military districts present slightly moved.

The time it took for the Tiger Wolf Battalion to grow up was not long, it could even be said to be very short, but the morale and determination shown by the whole battalion was no weaker than that of other combat troops.

A new unit can form cohesion in such a short period of time, and all the personnel are veterans transferred from other units, allowing them to support a new unit in such a short period of time.

Feng Chunyang knew very well, and Wang Junwei also knew very well that the core lies in the commander of this unit.

The two of them focused their attention on Chen Ming, who was at the front of the queue. At this time, Chen Ming was also raising his arms and shouting.

The two of them seemed to see their younger selves in him.

Satisfied with a slight nod.
