I asked you to repeat your senior year of high school, but did you miss out on joining the military

Chapter 397: Convening a meeting, collective second-class merit in the game
Chen Jun was riding in an infantry fighting vehicle, halfway back to the first battalion.

He also received a message from the battalion staff that the 124th Division had been defeated and its subordinate units had stopped resisting.

Notice to withdraw all troops from the battlefield.

Chen Jun was not surprised by the news.

After all, the division headquarters was destroyed, and all the division-level command personnel were captured.

Even if this happened on a real battlefield and the battle reached this point, there would be no surprises.

Leaderless.

The meaning of the exercise has been lost.

Continuing to fight would at best be a waste of ammunition.

There is no doubt that the First Battalion made great contributions this time.

Even though their own organization was almost destroyed, their armored forces were completely destroyed, and more than half of their combat personnel were eliminated.

They have no ability to sustain combat, and even if they can continue to participate in the war, they can only retreat to the second line and provide partial assistance to the front-line troops.

There is no firepower to stand alone.

But so what?

Meritorious service is meritorious service, it's just that the first battalion can't participate in the subsequent exercises at most.

In some ways, this loss is worth it no matter how you calculate it.

Chen Jun sat in the turret of one of the Type 05A 122mm mortar-howitzers. He stuck his head out of the tank and felt the chill of the Fuzhou winter.

But I still couldn't feel happy, even though I could guess that the First Battalion must have accomplished something meritorious this time.

He didn't know that area 1221 had been designated as an experimental zone, nor did he know that the higher-ups had already paved the way for Li Hongyang's defeat this time.

Chen Jun could only vaguely guess it.

The disastrous defeat of the 124th Division should not be enough to make his future father-in-law take off his uniform and leave the army.

But necessary punishment is inevitable.

Why! !

Whenever he thought about what happened this time, Chen Jun felt inexplicably irritated.

What the hell is this?

I haven’t even visited my father-in-law’s house yet, and haven’t even entered Guangzhou yet.

He had already offended all of his daughter-in-law's family members in advance.

If I had known this earlier.

He would rather take a battalion and retreat, unite with other Red Army units, and fight the main force of the 124th Division from the side.

They didn't even rack their brains and rushed to blow up the division headquarters.

This time when I go back, how should I tell Li Haiyao about this?

Just say I blew up your dad?
It doesn't seem right. It's not okay to arrest the man's father.

As Chen Jun was thinking about it, he subconsciously reached out to pat his pocket, only to realize that he didn't bring his cell phone with him.

Cell phones are not allowed during exercises. If civilian signals are detected in the camp during combat, the directorate can directly determine that the entire unit is out.

That's not a joke.

Chen Jun sighed and was just wondering how to tell Li Haiyao about this.

The veteran in the mortar-howitzer driver's seat suddenly stretched his neck and shouted: "Battalion Commander?"

"battalion commander!!"

"what happened?"

Hearing the noise, Chen Jun looked around and found nothing wrong, so he got into the chariot.

"Battalion Commander, the Directorate notifies the commanders of all combat units to immediately attend a meeting at the Fuzhou General Staff."

“It was stated that no one should be absent from the meeting for any reason and the exercise notice was suspended for eight hours.”

"Stopped for so long?"

When Chen Jun heard the news, he felt his heartbeat slow down.

We had just taken down the headquarters of the 124th Division, and then the directorate called for a meeting, which was exactly the same as the operation when we took out the 16th Brigade.

If they said there was no connection, Chen Jun would never believe it.

"Yes, Battalion Commander. Just now, Staff Officer Liang asked for our position and said that the 124th Division's attack has stopped."

"He is arranging for cars to come here, and he specifically told me to arrange two."

"Row."

Chen Jun heard this and waved his hand: "Since the war has ceased, there is no need to rush. Stop the car nearby."

"Wait for the battalion's vehicles to arrive."

"Yes."

Following Chen Jun's order, two fast-moving infantry fighting vehicles and two mortar-howitzer vehicles stopped at the same time.

The director's department held a meeting in a place where there was no village or shop nearby.

If no vehicle was sent over, it would be such a long distance and we would have to rely on a tank to travel more than 100 kilometers to Fuzhou.

Let’s not talk about whether the chariot will break down along the way.

Even if it wasn't bad, by the time I got there, the meeting would have almost ended.

Get off the chariot.

Li Hongyang and Wu Yangping also apparently got the news, and they were notified to hold a meeting.

He showed no surprise.

Standing there very calmly, waiting for the car to pick me up.

Chen Jun felt so guilty that he was too ashamed to face his father-in-law. He ran over to salute him, then smoked two cigarettes and ran away to stand.

Like a wooden stick, sticking in the distance.

Wu Yangping lit up a cigarette with a smile, pointed in the direction where Chen Jun was standing, and then whispered: "Old Li, I'm afraid your family affairs are in trouble."

"Chen Jun is a very strong-willed kid. If we catch you, he probably won't be able to change his mind."

"You still have to persuade him to stay here. Don't let this bastard ruin our daughter's marriage."

"I can see that he is also a stubborn person."

Li Hongyang blew out a smoke ring, then squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Chen Jun.

He understood what his old partner meant.

The political commissar was afraid that Chen Jun would arrest him, and he couldn't get over it, so he took the initiative to stay away from Yaoyao after returning to the army.

Dissociate yourself from the matter to avoid embarrassment for both parties.

There are quite a few people like this in the military camp. It’s not that they are afraid of taking responsibility, but they mainly don’t want to be caught in the middle and be caught in a dilemma.

Take the initiative to make concessions.

But no matter what, this behavior is considered cowardly in Li Hongyang's eyes.

So what if he gets caught?
He knew from the beginning that Chen Jun was his future son-in-law, but didn't he still send people to beat him?

only.

He didn't expect that his son-in-law was so wild. His style of leading troops was a bit like the special forces that were once very powerful on the battlefield more than a decade ago.

You dare to raid the division headquarters with four tanks?

At first Li Hongyang thought that the main force of the first battalion had arrived, but after a long time he was fooled by this guy.

In fact, after the third round of bombing, he had the opportunity to retreat.

But due to a misjudgment, he did not expect Chen Jun to be so bold and dare to come with just a few people.

So if we really want to talk about it, his loss was not unfair and his loss was clear.

Li Hongyang didn't think anything of it.

As for the punishment he will receive and future arrangements, he will just have to obey the final decision of the organization.

The people of the Li family can withstand this little storm.

As for Chen Jun
Li Hongyang felt that he had little contact with him and his identity was now too sensitive.

It would be more appropriate to let the old man come forward and talk to him.

Families like theirs take marriage very seriously and will not allow two young people to act recklessly.

The continuation of a family requires the continuous support of outstanding talents. Among the children of Li Haiyao's generation, Chen Jun is definitely not the highest in terms of position.

It's not even in the middle.

But in terms of potential and ability, he is definitely the most advanced junior.

Although their family doesn't rely on a son-in-law, the two children have this intention and it won't be called off because of this incident.

Li Hongyang is very thoughtful.

Unfortunately, he didn't know Chen Jun. Our Battalion Commander Chen was not thinking about how to stay away from Li Haiyao, he was thinking about how to handle this matter in a tactful way.

Tell it to Li Haiyao.

"Captain, I think this matter is not difficult to handle. You can just tell Captain Li directly."

"Captain Li should understand. After all, before we fought, we really didn't know that the 124th Division was our own unit."

Song Chao, the company commander of the reconnaissance company, probably also noticed that Chen Jun was in a bad mood.

Look, he even came over specially and racked his brains to give advice.

What a pity.

How can a bunch of rough guys who only know how to train and lead soldiers all day long comfort others? They just keep repeating the same few words over and over again.

In the end, Chen Jun was speechless.

Just as he was about to wave his hand to drive away the guys who were watching the fun, two jeeps arranged by the first battalion arrived.

Chen Jun quickly looked around.

Then he reached out and grabbed Song Chao's collar, and warned him in a low voice: "I'm going to the General Staff Office for a meeting first."

"Go back to the camp and don't talk about the 124th Division for now."

"No matter who asks, just say that our sneak attack was successful. Don't mention anything else."

"If I come back from the meeting and find out that you are spreading rumors in the camp and leaking information."

"Hehe, you know."

After Chen Jun finished speaking, he deliberately patted Lao Song on the shoulder and threatened with a smile.

When Song Chao heard this, he grinned and quickly patted his chest to assure: "Don't worry, Battalion Commander, I won't say a word about Division Commander Li."

"I'm tight-lipped, and I'm famous throughout the camp."

"Really? That'd better be the case."

Chen Jun glared at him and said nothing more.

The scout company commander kept his mouth shut.

Damn it, all the cadres who followed Fatty He are gossipy.

If there is anything happening in the camp and these two are informed, every rat hole in the camp will receive the exact news within half an hour.

Two symbolic threats.

Chen Jun didn't have time to say anything more and quickly got into the jeep. He did not choose to ride in the same jeep with Commander Li and Political Commissar Wu.

everything's ready.

The vehicle quickly headed towards Fuzhou.

. . . . . . . . . . .

at the same time.

At the Fuzhou Army General Staff Headquarters, people who received the meeting notice arrived one after another.

The 124th Division of the Blue Army was wiped out by a battalion of the Red Army. This kind of thing made the No. s of many units have a premonition of this meeting.

I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.

The parliamentary meetings on military reform have been held more and more frequently in the past six months, and the authorities have also used the meetings to communicate with multiple units.

A series of big moves happened frequently.

Anyone could foresee that the scythe of the brigade planners above was being swung faster and faster.

This time, a combined battalion won such a beautiful battle again. Even the cadres who were notified to attend the meeting would not realize it until later.

I can also figure out something fishy.

Since the 1221 area is on the edge of the operation, it is too far away from Fuzhou.

Most of the people who received the notice have arrived, but Chen Jun, the real person, has not arrived yet.

Tao Junming stood at the entrance of the General Staff Headquarters, looking at the road in the distance from time to time.

It's not hard to see from the way he walks and the way he occasionally clenches his fists.

Tao Junming was not calm at this moment.

It would be strange if I could be so calm.

As the deputy chief of staff of the Red Army General Command, Lao Tao had good access to information.

He already knew that the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff had classified this operation as an "experimental operation."

The so-called experiment is to divide the 1221 area into a special area for this military exercise, and the final result of the troops fighting in this area.

It will not affect post-war promotions or quota allocations.

This news is like timely help for Tao Lu.

As for whether this was an excuse from the higher-ups who wanted to protect Commander Li.

It's not a problem he should consider at all, and he doesn't need to consider it, that's for sure.

And Tao Junming also knew it.

Several leaders of the directorate were quite satisfied with the operation and even specially discussed awarding the 179th Brigade's Combined Battalion a second-class collective merit.

Part of the operation process will also be broadcast at this conference, and it will be used as a classic case for study and promotion.

As the commander, Chen Jun must go on stage to speak.

But therein lies the problem.

The reason why Tao Junming came to the General Staff Headquarters early was that, as a colonel, he did not go into the lounge to wait for the meeting to start, but stood outside in the cold.

I am worried that Chen Jun will speak too recklessly and without consideration at the conference, and may easily offend people.

As for what aspects to consider.

That's not complicated.

First, Tao Junming didn't know that Chen Jun had already known Li Hongyang's identity and was worried that he would not be able to control his words at the conference.

Being young and immature,
Now that we have won the battle, it would be fine if we captured our father-in-law, but it would be a shame if we also humiliated him.

That really doesn't make sense.

Second, at this meeting, the higher-ups did intend to severely wield the scythe against division-level units.

It is hard to say whether it will be implemented specifically, but some preventive measures must be taken.

The transformation of a division into a brigade involves too many things, and the units involved have complicated personnel relationships.

It was impossible for Lao Tao to just watch Chen Jun go on stage and say whatever he wanted according to his own ideas.

Some gaming.

Just because you have made contributions doesn't mean you can barge in and talk as you please.

Yes, Tao Junming also knew that Chen Jun had been in the army for half a year and had his own backers, such as the Joint Staff Department and the Li family.

These backgrounds are very strong and no one can shake them at the moment.

But there is one thing that cannot be ignored.

Chen Jun is still young and has a long military career ahead of him.

This time, the military reform, the Joint Staff, the Army Commander-in-Chief and other work were all handled and presided over by the older generation with great determination.

I'm going to retire soon anyway, so I'm not afraid of offending anyone.

In order to complete tasks that have not been implemented for decades, a group of older generations will have to step down.

A new era is about to begin.

What will Chen Jun do then?
Even if we have to say that the old man has retired, his influence is still there and no one will make things difficult for him.

In other words, even if someone wants to make things difficult for the people chosen by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, they still have to think carefully.

There's nothing wrong with saying that.

But in the east, the Li family's influence is far less than in the west and south.

When it reaches a certain level, the influence from above begins to slowly diminish, and you can only rely on yourself.

All Chen Jun can do is to stand out as much as possible in this military reform, but not to offend too many people.

otherwise.

After the old man's generation passed away, the next generation is the main force of the current division-to-brigade transformation.

If you offend everyone, then what's the point of having fun?

If it weren't for these considerations, Lao Tao wouldn't have suffered so much, standing at the entrance of the staff department, facing the cold wind.

Waiting for that brat from the first battalion to come over.

There were some things he felt he had to instill in this kid, so that he wouldn't be stubborn when the meeting came.

Then run to the stage and talk a lot more.

That's trouble.
