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

Chapter 269 Congratulations, Major Chen

The process of conferring the flag and designation is over.

Following Wang Junwei's signal.

The comrades who stood at the entrance of the vehicle and artillery field and had been watching the ceremony began to line up to the stage. They held red trays in their hands, with red cloth on the inside and neat certificates placed on them.

There is also a tray with two epaulettes, two bars and one star.

The designation assigned to the Tiger Wolf Battalion is a formal combat unit. According to regulations, the chief staff officer must also receive the same treatment as a deputy battalion level, and the corresponding one is a major.

To be promoted from a lieutenant-level officer to a school-level officer is a span that many grassroots cadres who have been promoted may not have the opportunity to do in their entire lives.

But Chen Ming, who was transferred back to the 71st Army from Longya, had only been in the 169th Brigade for a short period of time, and was able to advance smoothly all the way, which was also due to his efforts.

During this period, he received first-class merit in Wugaishan rescue and second-class merit in Peace Envoy training. Today, his efforts finally paid off.

On the stage.

Commander-in-chief Feng Chunyang and brigade commander Wang Junwei turned their attention to Chen Ming and motioned for him to come on stage.

In the audience, Du Longfei and Zhang Jintao also looked at him.

"Go ahead, congratulations, Major Chen." The instructor urged with a smile on his face.

"Hurry up, Old Chen, what are you thinking about? Be proactive at this time." Du Longfei nudged Chen Ming with his elbow and reminded with a smile.

Soon, the entire audience focused their attention here. There were surprises, shocks, joy, and surprises.

Anyone who knows Chen Ming's history in joining the army is saddened by the fact that it is not easy to reach this point in just a few years.

But more is happy.

Chen Ming was also slightly dazed, but he quickly packed up his clothes, collected his thoughts, and strode towards the high platform with firm eyes.

Come and stand in front of the commander-in-chief, raise your hands and salute!

"Good, good, good."

Feng Chunyang looked Chen Ming up and down and said with a smile: "Comrade Major, congratulations."

"Thank you, Chief!!"

Feng Chunyang reached out to help Chen Ming take off the captain's epaulettes, and helped him put the major's epaulettes on the tray.

The young officer in front of him had caused quite a stir in the 71st Army. He dominated the recruit competition and won the first place, overwhelming the audience.

He was featured in the military newspaper of the war zone twice and was promoted to the forefront of combat preparations in the New Year. In the past two years, his momentum has weakened, and his reputation is not as great as when he first joined the army.

But step by step, always moving forward firmly, I was able to get to where I am today.

Feng Chunyang was moved by this.

He has seen many outstanding young juniors and many grassroots officers who have performed well, but there are not many people in the army who have made rapid progress like Chen Ming.

He is a rare general, or in other words, a handsome man, a handsome man who can command the overall situation.

The moment he finished wearing the rank of major, Chen Ming's whole demeanor seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Brighter and more determined than before.

Feng Xiaoyang nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the major award certificate from the tray and handed it to Chen Ming.

"Chen Ming."

"arrive."

"Soldiers are a group full of life and vitality. I hope you can continue to work hard in the military camp and draw a rich and colorful stroke on the scroll of your life."

"Lay a solid foundation for the future and contribute to the motherland and the people. For thousands of years, the thousands of miles of territory of the motherland have been places where passionate soldiers served the country and made contributions."

"Come on, strive to create greater glory, and become a new generation of sword wielders of the Republic."

"Guarding for the new era."

"Yes, Chief, I promise to complete the task."

Chen Ming responded loudly and saluted solemnly.

He stood sideways, because after his promotion ended, it was when the Tiger Wolf Camp was collectively awarded the second-class merit.

This is also a belated reward.

More than a month ago, the Tiger Wolf Battalion of the Peace Envoys performed well in the training. They sneaked into the rear of the Blue Army twice to cause sabotage, and even blew up a third of the Blue Army's baggage storage warehouse in one fell swoop.

Today, on the day of flag presentation, the rewards above will also be fulfilled.

The eight company commanders standing in front of the queue, baring their teeth and grinning, went on stage to receive the collective second-class merit certificate.

This is the busiest day since the establishment of Tiger Wolf Camp.

Feng Chunyang personally handed these certificates to each company commander.

The company commanders quickly took it and held it tightly in their hands. This was a rare honor and belonged to their entire battalion.

Their movements were fully visible to Feng Chunyang.

Smiling and encouraging: "Comrades, your Tiger Wolf Battalion was awarded a designation today, and was also awarded the second-class collective merit today."

"I can't say that this kind of thing has never happened in the military before, but I can tell you with certainty that the comrades in the Tiger and Wolf Battalion are all good people."

"Comrades, do you know why the designation of your fifth battalion was changed to the third battalion?"

"do not know!!"

Several company commanders responded in unison.

Chen Ming stood on the stage and felt that it was time for the leader to make an introduction. He raised his right hand and waved to the soldiers of the eight companies behind him.

In an instant.

More than 1000 people from the Tiger Wolf Battalion arrived behind several company commanders in neat steps.

Feng Chunyang looked up at the soldiers approaching, his eyes scanning the soldiers in the front row one by one.

He said with a smile: "Aren't you just wondering about the order of the Tiger and Wolf Battalion, why it became the third battalion instead of the fifth battalion?"

"I've always wondered what happened to the 709th Division, the 063rd Regiment, and how the Strategic Assault Division came about."

"I will tell you now that just yesterday afternoon, the Kyoto Military District Army Command and the Eastern Theater Command jointly passed the parliament."

"We are ordered to expand the 71th Combined Brigade of the 169st Army and expand the combined division. The division's designation is the 709th Division. Maybe you are wondering, why, why should our military region add an additional division-level combat unit?"

"In this joint military exercise, your Tiger Wolf Battalion did not appear on the frontal battlefield. I am standing here to explain to you that on the night when the Peace Envoy military training began, the Eighth Tianshan Division launched a fierce attack."

"At one time, our 71st Army was almost forced back from the first line of defense, and almost opened a gap in our entire army."

"I'm not being alarmist here. One division, just one division, with more than 1 people, almost defeated more than 5 of us."

"Do comrades know what this concept is?"

At this point, all the officers on the scene remained silent. In fact, there were many reasons. The Blue Army had too great an advantage, and the director also favored the Blue Army.

The Red Army's heavy firepower stations were arranged with a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, with dozens of kilometers in between.

In addition, the Red Army traveled long distances and the stations were too far apart to be able to gather much combat power in a short period of time.

But these reasons are sufficient and cannot be stated. The battlefield of the great military training is the battlefield. If you lose, you will lose. It is also a fact that you are beaten so hard that you have almost no power to fight back.

When the real war comes, the conditions will definitely be ten times more difficult than the military training. Who can you blame at that time?
Therefore, as a soldier, you never make excuses for failure, and you should not make excuses. All you can do is find ways to win.

Feng Chunyang took a breath and said in a deep voice: "This means that our army is still too poorly trained, and its combat effectiveness is still relatively weak."

"The precise control of the battle situation is not as good as the Tianshan Eighth Division, so the strategic assault division will be established."

"Comrades, do you know the status of the Strategic Assault Division in our eastern theater?"

"do not know"

The Tiger Wolf Battalion soldiers gathered in front of them shook their heads, but they already had a premonition that this new word they just heard, strategic assault division, must have extraordinary meaning.

as predicted.

Feng Chunyang's next introduction directly detonated the morale of the whole battalion.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. Let me tell you that the Strategic Assault Division is a division-level combat unit directly affiliated with the Eastern Theater Command."

"You may leave here in the future, go to new stations, build new military camps, and meet new challenges."

"Because the Strategic Assault Division is responsible for the mission of the professional blue army. It is different from Zhu and Rihe, but it has the same mission. Your mission is to temper all combat troops in the eastern theater." "Don't care that they are heroic troops, and don't care about them. What kind of ace unit is it? How powerful and glorious those previous units were are all the work of our predecessors."

"Compared to now, use your fists, use the guns in your hands, use the cannons in your hands, and choke these heroic troops and ace troops to death in front of the strategic assault division. ."

"This is the next mission of your Tiger Wolf Battalion, do you understand?"

"clear!!!"

Soldiers love peace, but they don't necessarily like to be content. Especially the Tiger Wolf Battalion has received too much attention during this period. The old fritters who were assigned from various units learned that they were also a member of the Blue Army.

He can also give those so-called ace troops and heroic units a good beating, and the restless blood in his body will boil instantly.

The roaring voice and the responding voice intertwined and broke through the sky.

One soldier after another, a bright light bloomed in his eyes. For a veteran, the name "Blue Army" was a name that he would gnash his teeth with hatred, because they were so shameless.

When it comes to beating them, no matter whether you are temporarily dubbed the Blues or you are a professional Blues, you will fight without mercy.

But if you want to join and train other brother troops, there is no hesitation.

The main thing is flexibility.

Thinking about it, maybe in the future, he could chase his former company commander or battalion commander on the battlefield and beat him up. This just makes me feel comfortable.

"Well, now, do you understand the future missions of the Strategic Assault Division and Tiger Wolf Battalion?" Feng Chunyang asked with a smile.

"clear!!!!"

"Okay, just understand. Keep working hard, comrades. Currently, you only have one Tiger and Wolf Battalion in the Assault Division, but it doesn't matter. All units of the Synthetic 169th Brigade will be reorganized soon."

"Including the long-range fire brigade, reconnaissance brigade, boat brigade, electronic countermeasures brigade, and information support brigade directly under our theater, we will arrange units to be assigned to the 709th Division."

"This time the theater and the Army Headquarters have made up their minds, and the Strategic Assault Division will complete its transformation in the shortest possible time."

"Comrades, new challenges are coming and new tasks are coming. Are you ready?"

"Always ready! Always ready!! Always ready!!!"

The roar shook the sky.

Feng Chunyang's explanation was simple and clear, making it easier for these soldiers to understand.

The flag presentation ceremony ended successfully.

Chen Ming, Wang Junwei, Xu Guoyang, Xu Wenqian, Du Longfei, and Zhang Jintao saw off the commander-in-chief of the general area and other comrades who came over.

Battalion Commander Du Longfei began to arrange statistical personnel lists for each company, and actively wanted to divide everyone into categories.

Chen Ming did not leave, but was pulled aside by the brigade commander and chief of staff.

Xu Wenqian looked at the epaulette with two stripes and one star on his shoulder with a smile, and reached out to pat Chen Ming.

"Good boy, that's good. You've encountered a good time and you're capable enough. Work hard."

"Yes, Chief of Staff."

"Well, the Strategic Assault Division has just been established. What the Wang Brigade and I want to do is to take advantage of the current high level of enthusiasm to make a round of changes to the equipment of your Tiger Wolf Battalion."

"When the time comes to move to the new station, we can all change our uniforms. I want to hear your opinion."

"My opinion." Chen Ming lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "Chief of Staff, the Tiger Wolf Battalion has been strengthened to the current level according to the battalion-level establishment, and it has reached its limit."

"In terms of equipment, there are no other problems. If we add more, it will be a burden for the battalion, and the logistics cannot keep up."

"But I said before that we would be equipped with a long-range fire platoon and a long-range decapitation rocket platoon. This is very necessary because I plan to change the organization of the armored infantry company into a fire company."

"Other aspects are the insufficient construction of the field air defense system. The biggest advantage of the heavy synthetic battalion is that it has a large enough chassis and a large enough load to be able to carry those powerful air defense weapons."

"The Tiger Wolf Battalion is currently lacking in air defense. The mainstream use is towed anti-aircraft guns. Dual 25 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns can play a significant role in mountain troops or border defense regiments."

"If it is placed in a blue army unit that specializes in combat such as the Tiger Wolf Battalion, I am afraid that it will be stretched in the future. The new 35mm caliber anti-aircraft gun can do it, and the 57mm caliber anti-aircraft gun can make up for the shortcomings in terms of performance, but it is still barely enough."

“Others don’t work so well.”

"Ah."

After Xu Wenqian listened carefully to Chen Ming's analysis, he nodded.

"I know what you are talking about. Battalion-level units have always been weak in air defense. I will find a way to give your battalion a chance to change its equipment."

"But you don't have to have high hopes. At most, it's only a small scale. A batch of equipment from the Far Fire Brigade has been transferred from the units directly under the Eastern Theater Command."

"Or the artillery of the air defense brigade. After all, it is the first battalion of the Strategic Assault Division to have a code name. Your tasks may be heavier in the future."

"Come on, straighten out all the structures in the Tiger Wolf Battalion as soon as possible, and then hand over the tasks here. Brigade Wang means to transfer you to the brigade staff headquarters for training before the departure of the Strategic Assault Division."

"Under your leadership, the Tiger Wolf Battalion was able to achieve this kind of effect in a short period of time, which shows that continuing to stay here will only limit your capabilities."

"Understand?"

"clear!!"

Chen Ming responded quickly.

He was to be transferred to the brigade headquarters. Wang Junwei had mentioned these words before.

However, it's not that fast.

At present, the strategic assault division has only been determined to be established from above, but the specific deployment of manpower and where to locate their new station require repeated meetings and discussions.

Tiger Wolf Camp still has a long way to go.

Of course, Xu Wenqian didn't make it too clear. The strategic assault division was strengthened on the basis of the combined 169th Brigade.

That is to say, in the future, the commanders and fighters will almost still be their group. The troops transferred directly from the theater, no matter how awesome you are, will not be able to come here and serve as important functions of the brigade or division level headquarters.

Transferring Chen Ming to the brigade headquarters in advance to familiarize him with everything there is to train him to become the brigade chief of staff. The original personnel of the brigade headquarters must be transferred to the division headquarters and regiment headquarters in large numbers.

He didn't say it, and Chen Ming could also hear what he meant, but everything was just a plan at the moment, and no one knew how the higher-ups would arrange the framework of the strategic assault division.

According to the original plan, the division headquarters was the command headquarters and a specialized director department. It was only responsible for preparing combat plans and did not care about the operations and training of the units below.

With this arrangement, the command of the Strategic Assault Division is still at the brigade level, and the current five combined battalions may be strengthened to nine or ten.

Including the reconnaissance battalion, air defense battalion, strategic support battalion, artillery battalion, etc. directly under the brigade, all have been strengthened to the regiment level.

This movement is not small.

It is difficult to make such a big move in a short period of time.

Chen Ming stood at the vehicle and artillery field and talked with the brigade commander and chief of staff for a while. Most of them were listening to Chen Ming talk about the direction of changes in the organization of the fifth battalion in the future.

How to coordinate the eight companies, how to distribute firepower, and how to deploy them during combat.

In the past, they didn't care much because the formation time was too short. Wang Junwei and the others did not think that the fifth battalion had formed enough combat effectiveness, but now it is different.

After the designation came down, the code name of Tiger Wolf Battalion has been named, and now the entire brigade's attention is focused here.

They can't help but worry.

While talking here, Battalion Commander Du Longfei on the other side was beaming with joy all day long, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

While instructing each company commander to quickly tally the list of all personnel, he ran to the joint logistics department to find the person in charge there, saying that he would buy a big stone and place it at the Tiger Wolf Battalion headquarters.

This was something he had already planned on the military training battlefield. At that time, he thought that if they could obtain second-class collective merit, they would get a stone and place it in the most conspicuous place at the entrance of the battalion headquarters.

Engraved with the second-class hero camp.

Now that the plan has come true, you must implement your own plan.

Instructor Zhang Jintao couldn't stop him. The Tiger Wolf Battalion was affiliated with the Strategic Assault Division. He could stay at their station for another year at most, or he might be transferred in half a year.

It would be troublesome to move such a big stone, but Du Longfei was on top and refused to listen to anyone. He rushed to the Joint Logistics Department to discuss it with others.

The company commanders of each company were also delighted. On this special birthday today, the whole battalion had no daily training tasks arranged. Everyone was busy with what they thought they should be busy with.

Car artillery field.

After Chen Ming, the chief of staff, and the brigade commander reported on the plans for the next Tiger Wolf Camp, they sent the brigade chief away and stretched themselves as they prepared to leave here and return to the battalion headquarters.

A military vehicle parked not far outside suddenly opened the door, and a captain got out of the vehicle with a smile.

He greeted Chen Ming: "Congratulations, Major Chen."
