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

Chapter 428: Old brothers reunite, the rumored Thousand Hands Joint Finger?

3pm on May 4nd.

The 179th Brigade headquarters was brightly lit and crowded with people, and everywhere were cadres who had received notices to come and welcome the China Training Practice Group.

This would happen under normal circumstances.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the government agencies have already returned to the dormitories to rest, and only the hard-working grassroots field units are busy.

But not today.

Brigade Commander Tao Junming, Political Commissar Xu Wensheng, and Chief of Staff Feng Qiuhu all remained.

The leaders all stayed in the office building, arranging people and paying attention to the situation outside at all times.

Do others dare to retreat?

Including the battalion commander of the brigade, he also arrived.

A large group of people stood in front of the brigade headquarters building, chatting and looking outside.

Among them, the commander of the combined battalion is He Yingtao, the commander of the second battalion is Zhao Ziheng, the political instructor is Lin Jinhua, the commander of the third battalion is Ma Hongjie, and the commander of the fourth battalion is Qi Shaoxiang.

There are also the battalion commander of the logistics support battalion Liang Kexiang, the battalion commander of the combat support battalion Lu Zhengming, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion Wu Gaochuan, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion Xiao Jianfeng, and the battalion commander of the air defense battalion Dou Wei.

All nine battalion commanders of the 179th Brigade were present.

No one except Captain Lu of the Combat Support Battalion had ever seen Chen Jun, as he was transferred from a unit directly under the war zone.

The remaining few are all former battalion commanders of the brigade.

The commander of the air defense battalion, Dou Wei, was the former commander of the 2nd Motorized Infantry Battalion. As for the commander of the 3rd Motorized Infantry Battalion, he was promoted because of his age and the fact that he trained too hard when he was young.

There are some problems left over, and now that they are old, they cannot withstand the changes in the military reform unit.

I applied for transfer years ago.

Originally, Dou Wei had no plan to take over the air defense battalion, because the entire 179th Brigade, except for the combined battalion, needed the most technical personnel.

The most difficult unit to lead is the air defense battalion.

My dad used to lead a motorized infantry battalion. After several years, he never even used any cannons. The only infantry fighting vehicles in the battalion were their treasures.

It is not allowed to be used at all.

During Dou Wei's tenure as battalion commander, he dealt with troop transport trucks every day. The largest caliber firepower output of the entire battalion was the 82 mortar.

As a result, he now leads the air defense battalion and shows how important the strategic position of the air defense unit of the combined brigade is.

That naturally needs no further explanation.

A month ago, he saw the Hongqi-12 and Hongqi-9 air defense missile vehicles drive into the battalion for the first time.

Seeing that the big guy would be under his control from now on, Dou Wei didn't feel any joy at all, and he almost got confused.

Because I don’t know.

In addition to building an air defense missile system, the battalion also has to build an anti-aircraft artillery system to escort the brigade's field units, provide air defense firepower, and ensure safety on the battlefield.

But Douwei doesn’t understand any of this.

But what if he doesn’t understand?
The brigade couldn't apply for cadre transfers at all.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Liang Kexiang to take over the logistics support battalion.

Military reform is indeed an opportunity, and a rare opportunity, but it will fail if one's capabilities are not up to par.

That would be a disaster.

In the entire 179th Brigade, who really wants Chen Jun to come back the most?

Dou Wei is definitely one of the ones ranked highest, because he called Lao Chen a few days ago to complain about this.

Chen Jun had personally promised him that he would send a regimental-level cadre to his air defense battalion to assist him.

That guy really excited my dad, if it weren’t for the regulations in the army.

He would definitely set up a table and thank Chen Jun properly.

Dou Wei was really scared. There were a lot of things piling up in the camp every day, and he couldn't solve any of them, even with the help of technicians from the National Defense University.

But he was a layman and didn't know anything about football, so he was really stumped.

In recent days, I have a lot more white hair.

This is not.

Dou Wei was standing in front of the brigade's headquarters building at this time. He looked down at the time on his watch anxiously, his neck stretched like a giraffe, and looked outside the brigade's office post.

"Hey guys, why hasn't Lao Chen come back yet? Can one of you call and urge him to come back?"

"Come on, old man."

Fatty He squinted his eyes, smiled, took out cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them around.

"You've only called since we first came here. It's only been a short while, and you've urged us eight times already."

"If you're not annoying us, we're annoying."

A group of battalion commanders around nodded in agreement, and it seemed that they agreed with what Fatty He said.

In fact, who doesn’t want Chen Jun to come back soon?

The brigade is in chaos right now. Having a capable person to take the lead would help put things in order quickly.

Dad probably felt that he was too impatient. He smiled awkwardly, then subconsciously turned his head and glanced towards the brigade department post.

As a result, this time I really saw a ray of light shining over.

"coming!!"

Dou Wei exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, the other battalion commanders turned their heads in unison.

Yes, they really came this time, and several buses were lined up and speeding on the road.

During the time they were delayed, the vehicle had already stopped outside the gate.

Even though I was only away for over a month, plus I went home for the New Year, it wasn't long.

But Chen Jun, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat of the first car and was responsible for leading the way, saw the 179th Brigade with bright lights on, soldiers on duty at the gate, and a crowd of people gathered in front of the headquarters building.

For a moment, he was filled with mixed emotions.

It is difficult for people who have never served in the military to understand the disbanding of a brigade, to the point where even the only battalion is to be disbanded.

What's the mood?

Some people say that this feeling is like losing home, some say it is like losing the soul, and some say it is like the guarded faith collapses at this moment.

Especially when a soldier has been in the army for a lifetime and faces the cancellation of his military service, that feeling is much more painful than killing him.

When Chen Jun arrived at the 179th Brigade after the exercise ended a year ago, the whole brigade was in a state of depression. Many office buildings in the barracks were sealed and a cold wind blew.

There is no more vitality, and no more loud military songs.

Looking around, there was nothing but fallen leaves on the ground, and not even a single patrolling soldier could be found.

No one can understand that feeling.

Soldiers are not just about wearing uniforms, but more importantly, they are about recognition of the dedication of soldiers.

What is being cut off is the hometown and support in the hearts of the soldiers.

And now.

Looking at the rejuvenated 179th Brigade and the two soldiers standing straight at the gate, Chen Jun felt excited and happy.

It's simply impossible to describe it in words.

"Comrades, get off the bus, the 179th Brigade has arrived."

Chen Jun turned his head and shouted, then asked the driver to open the door, and got out of the car in two steps.

Other Zhongpei cadres followed closely and got off the car one after another.

Just at this time, Dou Wei, Zhao Ziheng, He Yingtao, Ma Hongjie and Liang Kexiang also walked to the gate.

"Haha, Lao Chen, it's really you who are back?"

Zhao Ziheng stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged Chen Jun.

Several other people came over with big grins on their faces. They were all old brothers from the original battalion.

After sharing the joys and sorrows, they finally managed to bring out the first battalion.

It was withdrawn years ago. The last time Chen Jun came back, he didn’t see many people. Now they meet again.

Sigh and feel emotional at the same time.

My heart is filled with joy. As long as these old brothers are here, it doesn't matter what difficulties they face in forming a combined brigade, what difficulties they face in forming four combined battalions, what the lack of backbones and technology.

Go to hell with all of them.

Some of the officers in the rear training camp knew the situation of the 179th Brigade, and some had also received notice of the unit's disbandment a few days ago.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he let out a long sigh, turned away with a gloomy expression, and said nothing.

"Haha, welcome comrades to come and give us guidance. Come in quickly."

At this moment, Tao Junming, who had received the notice, also came to the gate. He glanced at Chen Jun who was surrounded by the crowd and nodded slightly: "It's good that you're back."

"Hurry up, arrange for the comrades to come over. The brigade cafeteria has been keeping food for everyone."

Seeing so many people gathered at the gate, even the brigade commander and the political commissar came over.

How could the two sentries on duty not understand what was going on?
The poles blocking the road were immediately lifted aside to welcome the people from the National Defense University's Central Training Group in.

This time when I came to the brigade for practice, Old Man Dai didn’t come, and he couldn’t come either.

If Dai Zhengan came to the 179th Brigade, I'm afraid the entire st Army would be nervous.

The settlement of all training cadres was fully entrusted to Lin Guoyong and Chen Jun.

After driving several buses into the brigade parking lot, Lin Guoyong arranged several instructors to divide all the personnel into several teams for roll call.

How can I explain this kind of thing?

Although these people are of high rank, no one would do such a disgraceful thing as running away.

But no matter how great you are, during the training period, the rules of the National Defense University are the rules.

When the teacher calls the roll, everyone must line up obediently. All they have to do is be obedient.

As an assistant instructor, Chen Jun naturally did not need to line up and could take advantage of the time when other people were called.

He strode up to Brigadier General Tao, Political Commissar Xu and Chief of Staff Feng.

Stand at attention and raise your hand to salute.

He said in a loud voice: "Hello, Brigade Commander, Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, I am back."

"Haha, it's good to be back, kid."

Chief of Staff Feng Qiuhu looked at the young man in front of him, raised his hand and patted Chen Jun's shoulder hard.

His expression was full of emotion.

You know, the last time he met Chen Jun, this guy was still the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion.

At that time, the military region was abuzz with rumors that the 179th Brigade would be used as a pilot brigade to carry out synthesis.

Therefore, Feng Qiuhu, Zhao Ziheng and a group of others were transferred away for study. In the middle of the study, because of the establishment of the Second Battalion, Zhao Ziheng was transferred back.

But Feng Qiuhu did not come back.

He didn't report back to the unit until after the New Year, and after not seeing each other for a few months, Chen Jun had jumped directly from deputy battalion commander to deputy chief of staff.

With such a fast promotion speed, it would be strange if Lao Feng could remain calm.

"Chen Jun, why do I see that most of the comrades from the Zhongpei Corps who came here this time have the rank of fourth-level sergeant major?"

"Did they change titles?"

Political Commissar Xu Wensheng nodded towards the crowd in the distance who were calling out their names, with a puzzled look on his face.

In fact, changing titles is just a face-saving thing at best.

It just makes the soldiers and cadres in the company less nervous.

But this thing could not be hidden from the political commissar and others at all. After all, the military rank was changed, but the service badge was not removed.

Almost all of those people had three rows of service badges on their chests, but some had one star badge (deputy regimental-level lieutenant colonel) and some had two star badges (full regimental-level colonel).

Chen Jun also had three rows of service badges on his chest, with a star badge on it. Any officer in the army could not hide this.

Of course, there is no need to hide it.

"Yes, Political Commissar, we are considering that they will come here to study and may affect the work of the company."

"Just change them."

Chen Jun explained with a smile.

"Haha, I can tell from the sound of it that this idea was proposed by you. No one else would be so malicious."

Xu Wensheng had a smile on his face. Chen Jun had not mentioned this matter to the brigade before.

A few days ago, the brigade commander and the political commissar discussed how to eliminate the impact of such a large group of people coming to the company to stay.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jun had already thought of things ahead of them.

I chatted with several leaders of the brigade and waited for the roll call to end.

Led by Chen Jun, he took everyone to the brigade cafeteria for lunch, and then he was busy guiding these guys to move into the dormitory.

By the time all these tasks were completed, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

I didn't see Li Haiyao when I came back this time. She is now in charge of logistics finance in the 179th Brigade. A few days ago, she was arranged to study in the theater headquarters.

Not back yet.

It was too late, and Brigade Leader Tao and the political commissar had already gone back to rest.

Only the most familiar old brothers, Zhao Ziheng, He Pangzi, Ma Hongjie, Lin Jinhua, Qi Shaoxiang and Liang Kexiang, were still waiting in the brigade headquarters building.

Only after Chen Jun had settled all the teachers did he breathe a sigh of relief.

I trotted all the way to the office building.

Seeing that they hadn't left yet, Chen Jun couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's wrong? Why don't you go back to rest?"

"It's already past ten o'clock. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to get up tomorrow?"

But despite what he said, the smile on Chen Jun's face did not diminish at all. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave one to each of them.

Fatty He reached out to take the cigarette. He took off his military cap, smoothed his hair, and said with a wry smile: "I can't get up. Right now, the work in the camp is also at a standstill."

"We can't assign tank engineers, we can't train backbone personnel, and we can't borrow people. We are now affiliated with the 71st Army."

"It is said that at the military district meeting a few days ago, Brigade Tao originally wanted to borrow some people from other units, but in the end, not only did they not borrow them, they also wanted to ask us for people."

"How could this be?"

Hearing this, Chen Jun frowned: "Didn't they say that the National Defense University had already arranged a group of technicians to come here?"

"It's impossible to train backbone personnel, so we should first install an information-based framework and use a visual terminal to simulate the combat process of the previous battalion, and let the cadres in the battalion watch."

"Since synthesis is impossible, we can just start with information first, and do whatever is convenient."

“It’s impossible.”

Zhao Ziheng pointed to the information department behind the brigade's headquarters building and said, "The National Defense University has indeed arranged a lot of technicians to come here."

"But it seems that the other party is not trying to teach us. Brigade Tao said that they want to build a command receiving terminal in the brigade."

"Build a chain of command, or something like that."

"Anyway, the level of confidentiality is quite high, and ordinary cadres are not allowed to go there."

"The technical cadres of the National Defense University have been coming and going recently, and several waves of people have been added."

“I don’t know what they are doing next.”

Zhao Ziheng spoke lightly, but Chen Jun felt nervous when he heard it.

People from the National Defense University were responsible for setting up the command receiving terminal and the command system for the 179th Brigade.

And the level of confidentiality is extremely high.

Are these guys planning to create some kind of joint combat command system?

Joint Command is a general term used by the troops, and its level is even higher than the second information-based command system.

Moreover, this system has a very cool code name in the outside world, called Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

Think of this.

Chen Jun shook his head quickly, denying his own idea.

This shouldn't be the case. The 179th Brigade hasn't exaggerated to this extent.

What's more, this system is currently only installed in professional informationized troops and will never appear in a new unit.

Because it's of no use at all.

It's not the Joint Command. There is no terminal there that can keep the technicians of the National Defense University busy for a month.

Not finished yet?
