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

Chapter 415 The grand party opens, where are they?

The scenes of the sports games were carefully arranged, grand yet grand, colorful yet chaotic.

When people stand in it, they have a passionate ambition to conquer the great barrier, rising from the bottom of their hearts.

Chen Ming straightened his clothes, turned to look at Lao Xiong and Xiao Jingwen, and said, "Captain Xiao, Squad Leader Xiong, please go around. The opening ceremony will probably start soon."

"I'll go to the stage to say hello first."

"Yes."

Captain Xiao and Lao Xiong saluted together.

Unlike Chen Ming, they were fine just looking around, but they were not qualified to go to the military parade to participate in the opening ceremony.

Along the way from the martial arts field to the military parade platform, there were banners everywhere, and every word revealed the military atmosphere.

Especially the banner in the distance is large and eye-catching, with shining gold letters on a red background that reads:

Do not believe that there is an impossible task;

Do not believe that there are insurmountable difficulties;

I don't believe that there are enemies that cannot be defeated.

Seeing this makes people's hearts surge with excitement and raging fire. They want to hold a gun and fight bravely to kill the enemy and make new achievements bravely.

On the high platform of the military parade, a banner titled "The Second Military Games of the 71st Army" was hung.

It seems that a sports meeting of this scale has only been held once after so many years. This year is the second time.

Chen Ming walked straight to the high platform along the big path. At this time, the troops participating in the opening ceremony had not yet entered the venue. In addition to the drum troupe, lion dance, etc., there were soldiers waiting around.

Other places seemed empty, and some officers from the army who were participating in the opening ceremony had already arrived.

Standing aside and chatting.

Judging from the number of people, there should be a few very familiar people, and most of the rest have not arrived yet.

As luck would have it, Chen Ming knew one of these chatting officers, and that was Zhao Shengkui, the chief of staff of the 5th Hessian Brigade.

In the past, he often went to people to ask questions, but he defeated them in the red and blue battle a few days ago. Today's situation is really embarrassing.

Chen Ming shook his head slightly, he didn't think it was anything before.

Now that I think about it carefully, leading the Blue Army Brigade is really an offending job. There have been very few exercises so far, and I can meet my former opponents.

If he fights in Niutoushan for a few years, then when he goes out, won't the entire war zone be full of people who don't like him?

The other Blue Army units have a wide range of business, but it's good for him to just pick opponents in his nest.

No matter how many troops there are, there will always be times when they fight again.

The problem is that Chen Ming is quite thick-skinned and feels that it is not the right time to come here at this time and it is too embarrassing.

Fortunately, as the 704th Division came to participate in the opening ceremony of the sports meeting, the two of them were not chatting around, nor were they blowing off their beards and staring.

When Zhao Shengkui saw Chen Ming coming, he smiled and waved to him: "Old Chen, you came here very early."

Lao Chen? ! !

Several officers around him turned their heads when they heard this address.

Chen Ming didn't know them. That was because he had only been in office for a short time and had never participated in conferences held in the war zone. He was usually busy with work in Niutoushan and had not had the opportunity to come into contact with them.

But just because he doesn't know them doesn't mean they don't know him.

There was only one Blue Army brigade in the entire theater, and the Combined Brigade, one of the main forces in the army, was unable to fight back. In addition, it came first in the chief of staff competition. These names are not low.

"Is this Chief of Staff Chen Mingchen of the 169th Brigade?" one of the colonels asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Shengkui nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's not him."

"The former chief staff officer of Tiger Wolf Battalion."

"Oh, I remember the last time I met Chief of Staff Chen was a few years ago when the Fifth Battalion was first formed and they were fighting against the First Battalion at the No. 3 martial arts training ground."

"Yes, a few years have passed in the blink of an eye. At that time, Chief of Staff Chen commanded the 5th Battalion to conduct an electronic warfare surprise attack on the 1st Battalion. I still remember it fresh."

Several officers said with laughter.

When Chen Ming came up, several people started asking about the situation at Niutoushan, and the conversation became quite familiar.

When you reach a position like theirs, you will inevitably interact with each other in the future. It is still necessary to get familiar with each other when you meet them.

Chen Ming didn't sit still and answered all questions. Everyone deliberately avoided the red and blue battles of the past few days and only talked about training, leading troops, and quarterly replacement of final assembly.

Although it has been emphasized above that combat exercises do not focus on winning or losing, but on gains and losses. The results of the exercise will not affect the commander's promotion and evaluation.

But as a soldier, who likes to see himself lose?

Those who lead the troops are not cowardly. If they were defeated on the training ground, it would be inappropriate to bring it up again in person.

After chatting for a while, the martial arts arena became lively. Military vehicles queued up and drove in. The members of the Joint Logistics Department responsible for setting up the scene in the distance began to retreat.

At first glance, this posture is the posture where the opening ceremony is about to begin.

Chen Ming followed several officers and took a few steps back. When a row of military vehicles came in, he saw that they were coming from the headquarters.

Such a large-scale sports meeting cannot be held down by the head of a certain unit.

Feng Chunyang, the commander-in-chief of the 71st Army, got off the car, and Qin Longfeng, the political commissar of the command headquarters, got off the car next to him.

Chen Ming was no stranger to these two chiefs, especially the commander-in-chief Feng Chunyang.

He was also promoted before the joint military training between the Eastern Theater Command and the Western Theater Command a few years ago. The commander-in-chief who participated in the recruitment competition when Chen Ming first joined the army has been transferred to the theater general staff department.

I especially remember that the last time we met was in southern Xinjiang. After the battle, during the review meeting of the military division, the chief at that time also gave him a set of meeting minutes and a pen.

At that time, he was high-spirited and young, but now in the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

"Hello, Chief!!"

Accompanied by Feng Chunyang and Qin Longfeng, Chen Ming and the others stood up straight and saluted! !

The group of people who came in advance were mostly the chiefs of staff of each brigade, the directors of the political department, and the brigade commanders basically came with the heads of the headquarters.

The crowd of dozens of people filled the atmosphere with the crowd.

The lion dance warriors and drummers waiting not far away were a little nervous and stood there staring blankly.

"Hello, comrades, you're welcome." Feng Chunyang smiled in return, acting very kindly.

At the same time, he stopped and glanced at the crowd, and at a glance he saw Chen Ming standing at the front of the crowd.

It wasn't that he attracted attention. There were only so many people in the entire military region who were meeting all day long. They were all familiar faces. If a slightly unfamiliar person suddenly popped up, it would be difficult not to be noticed.

Feng Chunyang was slightly surprised when he saw Chen Mingju there, but he soon understood that this little guy was arranged to attend the opening ceremony.

He naturally knew about the situation of the 704th Division, and also knew about Chen Ming's appointment as brigade chief of staff.

This little guy gave him a big shock. In front of all the officers, Feng Chunyang strode to Chen Ming, stretched out his hand to squeeze his strong arm, and then raised his hand to pat him.

He smiled and said, "Good boy, Lao Wang and the others didn't come, so they arranged for you to come over?"

"Hello, Chief!!" Chen Ming saluted again.

Chen Ming has experienced this kind of moment of attracting people's attention, and he can naturally handle it with ease.

"Well, you're welcome. It's a rare trip to come and stay for a few days. Is your work going well in Niutoushan?"

"Report, everything is going well so far."

"Well, brainstorming should be carried out from the root, overall, and overall aspects to promote the new quality combat force."

"I'm not worried about your ability. Work hard. At the meeting in the war zone a few days ago, many old comrades spoke highly of you."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Chief."

Chen Ming responded in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. A group of brigade commanders looked at him with smiles on their faces, not knowing what they were thinking about in their hearts.

After Feng Chunyang finished explaining, Qin Longfeng, the political commissar of the headquarters, also nodded to Chen Ming.

He spent very little time dealing with the chief, not to mention that this was his first meeting.

After the short conversation, Chen Ming followed the crowd and began to climb onto the military parade platform.

When everyone was seated, Tang Zhen, as the person mainly responsible for the sports meeting this time, was naturally responsible for the conductor's work. Everyone in the stands had already arrived and came to the loudspeaker in front of the stage. Without saying a word, he just raised his right hand high.

Suddenly, majestic and melodious music resounded over the entire martial arts arena.

"It is a clear morning, with the whistle of doves and the sound of wake-up calls, but the world is not peaceful, and there are also turbulent storms in peaceful times."

"Get ready, fellow soldiers, when that day really comes."

The rich sound of the General Political Choir came out, and the drummers and lion dancers on the scene moved at the same time.

The sound of "dong dong dong" was like a signal, waking up the silent tiger.

kill! kill! kill! The roars of hundreds and thousands of people gathered. Outside the gate of the martial arts arena, large troops with no energy could be seen, and the holding company flags began to enter.

Sheng flags are hunting, and the roar is loud.

Thickly packed, countless soldiers carrying Type 95-1 automatic rifles and wearing Type 21 camouflage uniforms broke into the martial arts field.

People gathered from all directions, and the running team was not scattered at all, giving it the aura of an invincible army.

The first flag, the second flag, the third flag, more and more company flags arrived at the designated position, and the soldiers at the rear also followed.

With the flags flying, this was not the first time for Chen Ming to watch this kind of opening ceremony from the perspective of a high platform. There had also been a military parade in Niutoushan before.

But similar scenes can still make him slightly moved.

The great company, the hard-core company, the white-knife company, the heroic company and countless company flags are flying.

Chen Ming's right hand was holding the armrest of the chair, and he felt excited. In front of him was a red sea of ​​company flags. They were ace companies with glorious histories.

His mood at this time really confirmed the lyrics of a song. Before a man sets out, his heart has arrived, his thoughts are fighting, and the soul of a soldier stands tall and straight on the commanding heights.

There is no doubt that Tang Zhen's entry into the opening ceremony was very successful.

Chen Ming himself didn't expect that a leader who usually seemed so straightforward would actually engage in performance creation in private.

It's really not easy.

The opening companies, battalions, and brigades are already in place.

Tang Zhen coughed slightly, adjusted the loudspeaker, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said in a loud voice: "Comrades, today is the day when our 71st Army gathers at the martial arts field to hold a sports meeting."

"Just now I saw your ambition and your high fighting spirit."

"I don't want to say more about the rest. Men in the army should conquer this arena with their strong and vigorous bodies."

"Do you have confidence?"

"Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!"

"Okay, not for the interpretation of applause, not for deliberate conquest. I hope that comrades can only turn their hard sweat into the footsteps of pursuit, the firm belief in their hearts, and the steady steps under their feet."

“Tell an unchanging truth through action.”

"Comrades, we must firmly believe that there is no road longer than feet, and no mountain higher than people. Hope and honor, flowers and applause all wave to you at the end."

"Work hard and use your perseverance to welcome the flowers and applause at the end. I believe that the final victory and honor belong to you."

The ordinary words were not mixed with too exciting encouragement, but they made all the soldiers present have high morale.

Tang Zhen looked back at the commander-in-chief and the political commissar at the headquarters. They both shook their heads and had no intention of stepping forward to speak at this time.

In similar sports meeting programs, they usually award military honors and only come on stage in the final stage. At this time, they just come to show their faces.

Tang Zhen turned to look at Chen Ming again. Chen Ming also shook his head slightly and had no intention of going over to say any opening remarks.

He was not here by invitation, he just came from the 71st Army before and came here today to support him. Under such circumstances, it was not like that to come up and say some inspiring words.

There are not so many cumbersome procedures in the army, and the soldiers below don't want to hear you talk so much.

Starting as soon as possible is the way to go.

Sure enough, seeing no one taking action, Tang Zhen spoke again.

"Comrades, I won't say more words of encouragement. Youth is like fire. Go beyond yourself. The end point and honor will be there."

"I hope you can speed up your pace and look at the red finish line in the distance. It is a road paved with sweat and a mountain of tears. Aren't all your usual efforts and struggles just for this moment?"

"Use all your strength to rush towards the red line that determines your destiny."

"I now announce that the second spring sports meeting of the 71st Army will begin now."

Tap tap tap.

As Tang Zhen finished speaking, the flag-bearing team in the distance began to take the field.

When the fluttering red flag rose high in the sky, the national anthem stopped and the sports meeting officially began.

The subjects on the first day are all more exciting, or more physically demanding. This is a competition between veterans.

Soldiers from the artillery brigade, army aviation brigade, special operations brigade, combined brigade, industrial and chemical brigade, air defense brigade, and strategic support brigade were scattered across various sites.

Chen Ming bid farewell to the leaders on the parade stage. He was relatively young and did not like to gather among them to discuss controversial topics.

Originally, the units were different, so he didn't have much to argue with.

Lao Xiong ran over to watch the relay race, and Chen Ming ran nearby to watch the shooting competition. The 71st Army was worthy of being a veteran and powerful force.

A veteran who shoots pistols quickly shoots at a 20-meter target with two pistols, as if for fun, which makes Chen Ming's eyes warm.

You know, for ordinary people holding a pistol, it is difficult to hit a target ten meters away.

Even a veteran would have trouble shooting a 20-meter ring target with a pistol, but this was a two-handed gun shooting at a chest ring target at high speed.

Chen Ming himself was not sure whether he had this reaction. These special shooting sergeants looked like members of the special operations brigade. Ordinary companies had different priorities, so it was not easy to practice such accurate pistol rapid-fire skills.

It's a pity that he is not suitable to compete with the soldiers now, so he can only wander around and take a look to enjoy the scene.

There are a lot of subjects on the first day of the military sports meeting.

The artillery brigade carried heavy cross-country relays and carried artillery shells on their shoulders. They were more than ten steps away from the soldiers of other brigades and were far ahead.

Each brigade has different operational requirements and different training levels.

Anyway, overall, apart from the comparative weaknesses of the strategic support brigade, the remaining ones are the air defense brigade and the combined brigade.

The artillery brigades and special operations brigades that are relatively strong individually are usually hard to train, but the benefits are fully reflected at this time.

Chen Ming walked around with his hands behind his back and came to the 400-meter obstacle course. When he was looking excited, he suddenly became aware of several people standing behind him.

Originally, on such occasions, there were many soldiers watching the excitement, so it was normal for people to show up behind them.

But Chen Ming still noticed it, because the feeling of standing behind unintentionally while watching the excitement was completely different from that of deliberately coming to find him and standing behind.

He didn't react much. This was a military area, not a battlefield. Even the enemy wouldn't be so stupid as to look for him at this time.

Chen Ming suddenly turned his head to look at the three people coming behind him. After seeing who was coming clearly, Chen Ming was not the only one who was a little startled.

Even the people behind were a little surprised.

One of the young men wearing black-rimmed glasses smiled and pushed up the frames, saying with emotion: "Team Chen is really vigilant. He even noticed us coming when he was watching the game."

"Hello, Captain Chen!!"

The three of them saluted.

The person who came was really no one else, it was Gray Pigeon, Tank, and the rookie of the Thunder Team from the Dragon Tooth Fire Knife Team.

The movement here attracted the attention of the people around, and many soldiers raised their heads to look at the three of them.

Because the military uniforms the three of them wore, including their waistbands and weapons, were obviously different from those of regular troops, they looked dangerous.

Chen Ming noticed the gazes around him, knocked his head helplessly, walked to the side and whispered a few words to the officer in charge of recording the results here.

He took the three of them and walked towards the distance.

The officer understood, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, okay, don't look at it."

"That's the special unit guy, keep playing."

It’s no wonder that the soldiers were curious and even wary. The whole place was busy playing. Suddenly three people wearing different clothes came out. As a soldier, if you don’t know how to be wary, you will be in trouble.

As the fifth type of special forces, Longya wears live ammunition equipment and specific combat uniforms when they go out. It is impossible to tell which country they are from the clothing.

Chen Ming knew that with their abilities, it was too easy to sneak in, and it was also easy to find him.

Otherwise, why can I enter Dragon Teeth?

When he met the Fire Knife team on the battlefield, he would have been in trouble if he hadn't been systematic, and the Fire Knife's main ability was not combat, but electronic warfare.

After taking the three of them to the martial arts arena, Chen Ming looked at the three of them with complicated eyes. Tank and the others, who were originally smiling playfully, looked at Captain Chen's expression.

The smile instantly froze on his face.

Longya's superiors and subordinates are more strict, and what they say is what they say. No hesitation is allowed, and absolute obedience is required.

Although Chen Ming is not their superior, he is more or less the captain of the new team.

"Captain Chen? What's wrong? We didn't enter on purpose. We just arrived at the artillery brigade and saw you weren't there, so we came to take a look."

Tank responded with a silly smile.

But Chen Ming waved his hand and sighed: "That's not what I'm talking about. I remember that the people in your Longya's external contacts are all chickens and flowers."

"Where are they?"
