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

Chapter 348 The military parade ends and the invincible lion appears

Tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in the central square, with flags flying and roars shaking the sky.

The soldiers were roaring and the people were singing the majestic national anthem, sweeping through the entire Niutoushan garrison base like a strong wind.

The loud songs sang the melody of the times when soldiers and people struggled and forged ahead. The sound carried the love for the motherland and the ambition to serve the national defense.

The mountains and rivers are safe, the country is peaceful and the people are safe! !

When the singing stopped, on the parade stage, Chen Ming waved his hand, and the chariots on the main section of the central square restarted.

"Get on board!!"

The order was given, and the long green dragon moved. One after another, the soldiers who were originally standing, carrying steel guns, divided into torrents and entered the chariot.

There was no sound at the scene, only the fighting spirit.

Boom.
Long dragons danced, and vehicle-mounted drones soared into the air.

The chariots roared and the troops moved out.

The flow of people in the central square decreased, and the outer cordon was removed, but most people did not rush forward, nor did they obstruct the direction of the chariot.

It was just the enthusiasm of the crowd, thousands of them gathered into a sea of ​​people, waving their arms constantly, running from the other side, following the chariot.

With an excited expression, it could even be said to be fanatical, they shouted in unison "Long live the motherland."

Every time we encounter such a spectacular scene, the Chinese people can feel more and more that they live in a great country, and feel proud and proud of their powerful motherland.

The chariots went away, which also heralded the end of the military parade.

On the stage, division commander Wang Junwei, political commissar Xu Guoyang, chief of staff Xu Wenqian and others also began to leave one after another.

It is estimated that these leaders should go to the war zone for a meeting. After the New Year's Day military parade, the Niutoushan Garrison Base will enter battle preparations.

Chen Ming stood on the stage and looked at the retreating troops. They had to cross the three gun gates and go to a place a little further away for live-fire drills. The war was about to start, and all units were conducting emergency drills.

Instead, the Firepower Department suddenly became idle. The Operations Department, the Information Department, the Political Department, and the Staff Department did not have specific combat orders issued, so they had nothing to do.

The gatehouse was built, the entire base's measurements and drawings were also completed, and all records of the replacement of new equipment were handed over to the division headquarters.

Chen Ming suddenly felt like he had nothing to do. From being so busy to having no tasks, it was a bit difficult to adapt.

Currently, of the entire fire department, only the security picket department is still in the training period and has not been put into use.

After all, it represents the image of the entire base. On duty outside and for internal inspections, image is very important. It takes at least a month of training before you can start working properly.

Chen Ming looked around and saw that the military parade was over. Comrades from the Joint Logistics Department began to put away the red carpet and loudspeakers, and comrades from the Propaganda Department were also putting away their instruments.

He couldn't just stand on the high platform stupidly. He came down from the parade platform along one side, preparing to return to the firepower station and wait for instructions from the division headquarters.

We must fight. It depends on who is from the 31st Army. Oh, it is the 73rd Army now.

Chen Ming thought and strode towards the firepower.

"Da Mingzi!! Da Mingzi?!!"

"Hey, don't you recognize the old brothers?"

Suddenly, a lieutenant colonel ran over from the other side of the parade platform, grinning and shouting from behind.

But Chen Ming still walked forward as if he didn't realize it. Helplessly, the lieutenant colonel behind him quickly followed up and reached out to slap Chen Ming on the shoulder.

There was dissatisfaction in his tone, mixed with excitement: "Da Mingzi, I just called you, why didn't you respond?"

"I used to be a neighbor in the college, but now I'm a brother who eats in a big pot. Why are you still seeing me outside?"

Chen Ming was suddenly tapped on the shoulder and heard a familiar voice again. Chen Ming turned around and was speechless.

This guy is really not an outsider. He was Xie Canxiong, his old neighbor in the dormitory next door when he was studying at the National Defense University.

In the past, when the 704th Division only had one Tiger Wolf Battalion, this guy was the "son" of the war zone and knew a lot of gossip.

Only later, more and more troops were incorporated, and the three military units of the 169th Brigade were combined. The military and political officers were not airborne, and were successfully transferred to the division headquarters.

It is not easy to use the "son" who is directly under the war zone. After all, the 704th Division is also directly under the war zone, so who can be worse than the other.

What's more, the three at the top are all veterans of the 169th Brigade, so they must be the closest to their own people.

No, the ones arranged by the combat brigades directly under the theater are not good.

It's just that the name "Da Mingzi" made Chen Ming stand out. Damn, no one has ever called him that when he's grown up.

Therefore, I didn’t come over just now anyway.

"Why are you back?" Chen Ming stared at Xie Canxiong in surprise. Calculating the time, it would take more than half a month for this batch of students from the National Defense University to graduate.

Doesn’t it mean that the subsequent simulated battles must be done step by step?

"What do you mean? Why did I come back? I was originally from the Strategic Assault Division." Xie Canxiong curled his lips and hugged Chen Ming shoulder to shoulder.

"From now on, I will be the battalion commander of the 704st Air Defense Missile Battalion of our [-]th Division Air Defense Regiment."

"When we meet in private, you can call me Canxiong or Lao Xiong. Just don't call me Lao Xie. This title is very awkward."

"When there are a lot of people, I call you Chen Chu. Your name is really comparable to my old Xie. When there are few people, we are brothers."

Facing this familiar guy, Chen Ming smiled. Lao Xie, Chen Chu, it was a normal title, but when it comes out of this guy's mouth, it always feels a bit ambiguous.

"Hey, brother, I'm in a bad situation. Look at you, major and deputy battalion officer went to further training. When they came back, they were promoted to deputy regiment commander and served as the No. [-] firepower department directly under the division. They have unlimited glory."

"Look at me again? I'm also going for further training. I was the battalion commander when I went there, and I'm still the battalion commander when I came back. When I arrived here last night, I originally wanted to report to the division headquarters, but I was busy with the military parade."

"Today, I can only follow the team to watch, and I didn't follow the big team."

Chen Ming was silent for a while while listening to the other party's chatter. Although there were many vacancies in the Strategic Assault Division, not everyone could be promoted.

Now that we are all regiment commanders and brigade commanders, who will be responsible for the battalion commander and company commander?
The formation of the 704th Division has put a lot of effort into "grabbing strong men" from all over the war zone and absorbing capable veterans to serve as squad leaders of combat units.

Naturally, officers also have to learn at the same time.

Why does the strategic assault division have a division headquarters, a brigade headquarters, and a regiment headquarters?
As the director's department, the division headquarters can understand that the regiment headquarters can be completely abolished and the brigade can directly lead the battalion. Why don't the higher-ups do this?
The reason is simple, there is a lack of people.

There is a lack of commanders who can truly lead division-level operations. If the brigade headquarters directly manages each battalion, the establishment will be too large. Those who are capable of leading an entire division in operations will not be relegated to a deputy division-level command unit in the 169th Brigade.

It's useless to push it up if you don't have the ability. You can't command such a huge combat organization at all. The so-called pilot units are just trying all the time.

If one person can't do it, then he will be divided into one brigade and three regiments to manage it. There is a big vacancy and there is an urgent need for command and generals. Studying is only one of the ways. It does not mean that you will definitely be promoted after studying.

There is no such promise.

In the future, we will slowly develop and reduce the establishment. When we have enough experience, we may cancel the regiment-level command. After all, that is really embarrassing.

However, it is not embarrassing now, and such a transition period is needed.

"Are they all back, or are you the only one?" Obviously, Chen Ming didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer.

They are all old comrades-in-arms, and saying this hurts our feelings.

"A small group came back, and I'm just one of them." Xie Canxiong shrugged.

"Basically, all comrades below the rank of colonel have graduated. The simulated combat is not as good as the Joint Warfare College thought. In many aspects, it can only confirm the theories we have learned. If we want to rely on it to learn how to lead troops in war, there is still a lot to be done. Far away."

"Other higher-level cadres have not come back, but many of them are not members of our strategic assault division, and you won't be able to see them when they come back."

"Well, tell me, Lao Xie, what do you want from me?" Chen Ming asked with a smile.

Although the two had a good relationship, he knew in his heart that if the other party was fine, he would definitely not be so enthusiastic.

To use Lao Xie's words just now, from now on we will all be brothers who eat in a big pot. There is no need to be so enthusiastic when saying hello. This guy is definitely up to something.

"Hey, look at you, I can't talk to you? Also, don't call me Lao Xie, it sounds like a toothache."

Xie Canxiong waved his hand and refused to admit that something was wrong, but followed Chen Ming towards the firepower station.

Even if this guy didn't say anything, Chen Ming knew what he was going to do. Now that the troops had gone to live-fire drills, most of the people who stayed at the station didn't know him.

The division headquarters and brigade headquarters were probably going to the war zone for a meeting. He really had nowhere to go at this time. He didn't have an appointment letter from the division headquarters. He was suddenly transferred here from a unit directly under the war zone, and he didn't have many acquaintances.

Either he wanted to stay with me for a while, or he wanted to take him to see the air defense regiment and the first air defense missile battalion.

Now that the entire division's combat troops are dispatched, unless people from the fire department lead the way, if there are so many battalions, who can know the location of the anti-aircraft missile battalion?
Anyone who knows clearly has gone to supervise.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming said with a smile straight to the point: "Okay, Lao Xie, are we still so polite?"

"If you have any needs, just tell me. Do you want to go to the anti-aircraft missile camp, or go to the division headquarters and wait for the commander to finish his work?"

As for Xie Canxiong's position, Chen Ming leaked it to him when the Firepower Operations Department drew a drawing and marked the positions of all combat troops.

The chief military officer and the chief military and political officer here must make a note with the slogan Wartime Contact, so Chen Ming knew it early in the morning. "There is probably no one at the division headquarters at this time. The military parade has just ended, and we are probably going to fight here. Today is New Year's Day again, so all military regions are organizing war preparations."

"I'm afraid a video conference will be held in the war zone. It's useless to go now. It's too late for you to come back."

"Then let's go to the [-]st Air Defense Battalion and take a look." Xie Canxiong nodded, feeling that Chen Ming's analysis was quite right.

The college originally learned that there would be a battle after the military parade, so it arranged for some officers to come back to report.

He came back too late yesterday and lived nearby. He came here early this morning to have another military parade.

Several of the people who came back with him to report were from the 169th Brigade. They were picked up and given a place to stay.

It was a bit miserable for them to come here directly. You don’t know anyone here, and it’s a special time. Who above will arrange to pick you up.

If Chen Ming didn't have connections in the 169th Brigade, he would have had to rely on his own legs to report on the first day, let alone the battalion commander.

In special times, let alone you alone, even if you are a regiment or a company during an exercise, if you say no logistical assistance will be given, you will not be given and you will have to find a way on your own.

Soldiers are not so delicate.

"Consultant Deng."

Knowing that this guy wanted to visit his own camp, he waited until he reached the gate of the fire department.

Chen Ming raised his hand to greet Deng Haiyang, the head of the operations department.

"arrive."

"What about that? Find a comrade to take Battalion Commander Xie to the base of the [-]st Air Defense Missile Battalion. This is the battalion commander who has just returned from the National Defense University."

"Please take a look at your luggage and leave it at the War Department first, arrange for your comrades to accompany you there, and then take it to the Division Headquarters to report later."

"Yes."

Deng Haiyang responded and quickly walked over to take the luggage from Xie Canxiong's hand.

"Xie Battalion Commander, here, I'm going to call someone."

"Okay, thank you, Staff Officer Deng."

Xie Canxiong followed him into the fire department.

Chen Ming was not idle when he came back. He didn't plan to send Lao Xie there, but he also wanted to patrol all over Niutoushan. That's what the fire department did.

What's more, he is also the leader of the security picket at the garrison base, so he needs to patrol more often, familiarize himself with the terrain, and prepare for subsequent operations.

The Niutoushan Garrison Base has just experienced the New Year's Day military parade and is in a period of calm.

No combat orders have been issued yet, but many officers know that behind this calmness, they are preparing for the upcoming turmoil.

The war is coming soon.

The Lianshan area of ​​Fuzhou is hundreds of kilometers away from the Niutoushan garrison base.

In the wild, heavy tanks stopped roaring and parked neatly on the roadside.

The carriage opened, and groups of soldiers emerged from the chariots, before the soldiers could find a place to rest.

A second lieutenant company commander from the front shouted loudly: "Gather!!"

"What are you doing? Ah? During the New Year's Day war preparations, even if you are taking a break, you cannot get together in small groups, keep your guns in your hands, and never leave your helmets on your heads. Don't you understand this?"

"Come on, dinner will be served in two to ten minutes. Seeing that you have nothing to do, let's all gather together to sing our brigade's war song."

"I'll be watching from the front to see who doesn't sing. I'll knock out your front teeth. Everyone, stand at attention!!"

After hearing the company commander's instructions, a group of soldiers had to stand up straight even if they were unwilling to do so.

There was nothing we could do. During the war preparation period, their entire brigade was in full combat readiness and stayed in the small main battle tank space for three to four hours.

Fortunately, it was winter and not so hot. Otherwise, if they had been out of the house for so long, they would have turned into dehydrated hot dogs.

"Cheer up, everyone. Don't look so sad. Do you look like a soldier?"

The captain and company commander kept shouting next to him, and at the same time he began to sing their brigade's war song.

"The jute horn sounds, the blood of the Red Army is passed on, rise!!!"

"Let's see, let's see which bastard doesn't open his mouth. If I catch him, he won't even eat anymore. During the war preparations, all of them are so lax. If I rely on you to fight, you will make the enemy laugh to death." .”

Hearing the roar of the company commander, the assembled soldiers of the company had no choice but to endure physical exhaustion, pulled their necks and began to roar.

"The jute horn sounds, the blood of the Red Army is passed on;"

"Shame on the national snow, decisive victory in the south of the Yangtze River;"

"The neon light is never stained, and the wind and waves test it for a long time. Construction adds strength, loving the people serves as an example, emergency battles are won, and the military spirit never changes;"

"Invincible on the battlefield, a hero with courage, carrying the gun for the common people, with the father in mind, leaning against the enemy and listening to the sound of the waves, guarding the country."

The soldiers shouted to the sky, using all their strength to avoid being scolded by the company commander later.

I'm afraid I won't have anything to eat later.

While the war song was being sung with great enthusiasm, the captain and company commander were staring at each other, observing which of them was lazy.

Suddenly a whistle sounded in the distance. The company commander turned his head and glanced into the distance, threateningly saying: "You bastards, sing for me. I'll go to the meeting first."

"This meeting shouldn't be too long. I don't want to hear the singing stop before I come back."

The company commander turned around and left after roaring. The soldiers in the queue glanced at each other, and their voices became weaker and weaker, and finally became weak.

The veteran squad leaders in the team didn't blame them. Even the platoon leader didn't say a word. There was nothing they could do. Various arrangements had been made to them in the past few months.

Their unit is none other than the eastern theater stationed in Lianshan, Fuzhou. The 73rd Army was re-armed into the 86th Brigade.

The war song they sang just now was "The Invincible Lion" by their brigade.

The heavily armored 86th Brigade was a veritable ace unit. It was formerly the 31th Division of the 86st Group Army. It can truly be called the Invincible Lion.

Originally, for such an ace unit, it was really not difficult for them to prepare for several hours of high-intensity training for a battle.

But their training does not start from today, or training similar to this kind of combat preparation scale does not start from today.

As early as early August this year, the heavily equipped 86th Brigade received instructions from above.

In order to speed up the transformation and upgrading of military training and comprehensively improve the level of actual combat training and the ability to win, their brigade began to combine their own missions and tasks and constantly explore new training methods and new tactics.

From equipment operation, training methods, to collaborative models and combat concepts, all-round changes will be carried out to accelerate the pace of military training transformation across the entire brigade.

This task is to touch the upper lip to the lower lip, but the soldiers below will have a much harder time. How can we improve it in an all-round way?Use people to practice.

All-round change, how to change?Let's try it with someone.
Therefore, there was not enough space at the station. From the beginning of August to New Year's Day, their entire heavy-armed brigade had to move from Fuzhou to the open land of southern Xinjiang four times.

Practice, come back and summarize, then practice again, and finally summarize.

A one-way trip is more than 4000 kilometers, which means that in five months, they traveled [-] to [-] kilometers, running in both directions, constantly experimenting and practicing.

The iron-clad body can hardly bear it anymore.

No, before New Year's Day, they suddenly received an order from the war zone to come back and prepare for the important holiday.

All the soldiers in the brigade had not rested yet. Today they were pulled into the tank again to continue training on the previous experiment.

"Hey, let me go. I'm so exhausted. What time of the day is this? My waist is almost broken. Monitor, step on me."

A veteran saw the company commander walking away, fell naked on the ground, and called the squad leader.

"I'll crush you idiot to death. You talk a lot every day. How can a young man get his waist? Get up, don't wait until the company commander comes back and get angry again."

"No, not that soon. The company commander has gone to a meeting."

More and more veterans stopped singing and collapsed on the ground. They were really exhausted.

But they just stopped singing, not even 5 minutes ago.

The captain and company commander who had left not long ago came back.

The mood seems to be quite happy, because he has been training for so long and feels tired.

Just after the meeting, we received news that they had re-armed the 86th Brigade and were about to go to war. The target had been set.

After months of practice, I finally want to find someone to fuck me. Does it feel good?
