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

Chapter 538 Transfer Order, This is what a soldier is like

In the temporary command room.

Due to the hasty construction, the large army did not camp here, and the conditions were somewhat shabby.

In the entire tent, apart from the assembled table in the middle, there were only two rows of folding chairs. It could be said that it was as simple as it could be.

Since we are all soldiers, we can’t ask for so much on the battlefield.

Chen Huanran, Li Hongtao and the accompanying staff just glanced around the conference room casually and then took their seats one by one.

Then, Li Hongtao cleared his throat and turned to glance at several cadres of the 179th Brigade who were sitting upright.

Look at them, each one is more serious than the other.

Li Hongtao waved his hand with a smile and said, "Alright, alright, don't hold it in. Your 179th Brigade did a great job in this multinational joint exercise."

"It can be said that this has demonstrated the power of our field army."

"When I came over, that old guy Anton was so angry that he was about to curse."

"But in the joint military exercise, not only our troops will participate in the exercise, but troops from other countries will also take part in the exercise, which has nothing to do with us."

"What we have to do is to strictly implement the requirements of various regulations, station troops where they are, and wait for orders to return home."

"Understand?"

"clear!!!"

Chen Jun and others responded in unison.

In fact, if we really compare, no one wants to station troops in Chebarku, because of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating for one thing.

The most important thing is that when you are stationed in a foreign country, especially in someone else's contract training ground, you must pay attention to your words and actions every day, no matter whether you are a cadre or a soldier.

To put it simply, it means maintaining the demeanor of a great power.

But this is not as comfortable as going back to the camp and being free.

But everyone also knew that this joint military exercise ended too quickly, and the higher-ups might not have expected this. The joint military exercise sent out many signals.

It may not be easy for them to retreat when the top leaders have not reached a clear conclusion.

Li Hongtao is the general person in charge of the joint directing department. After he explained the follow-up arrangements.

Chen Huanran, who was sitting nearby, then said, "This battle was indeed beyond our expectations."

"The Joint Chiefs of Staff have not yet issued clear instructions, and national defense mobilization must also be appropriate and targeted, and some explanations must be given for the heavy equipment."

"Of course, this has nothing to do with you. I came here to talk about two things."

Having said that, Chen Huanran glanced at Chen Jun.

Just this slight movement made everyone in the 179th Brigade present feel a sudden shock in their hearts, and they had a vague premonition that something was not right.

It's not that they are worrying too much or overthinking.

Previously, when Mr. Li came to the military region to notify the joint military exercise, he had mentioned that he would consider Chen Jun’s transfer after the exercise.

At that time, Brigade Commander Feng and Political Commissar Xu didn't feel much.

After all, it's only a matter of time.

Since graduating and coming to the 179th Brigade, Chen Jun has been in charge of the combined military reform. He himself is an airborne person, and his performance has been very good from the battalion to the brigade and then to the heavy armored unit.

Now the power of the heavy armor has been demonstrated, even Ji Laoguidan knows that the 179th Brigade is ahead of other troops in terms of training results.

Can’t you see it from above?
As long as it can be seen, it means that after the 179th Brigade is re-equipped, a brigade-level unit will not be able to retain this person.

The balanced development that needs to be considered above does not allow the 179th Brigade to always be at the forefront. This balance needs to be rolled out in all major war zones.

can.

It was not surprising, but Lao Feng and the others did not expect it to come so soon and so suddenly.

Noticing the leader's gaze, Feng Qiuhu sighed secretly, while Political Commissar Xu remained silent.

Fatty He opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.

The people present were not stupid. At this critical juncture when the troops needed rapid development, the 179th Brigade fought such a gratifying battle.

The first batch of heavy armored units have been opened in major war zones.

It is certain that people cannot be retained.

Noticing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit depressing, Chen Huanran felt a little helpless. Originally, the transfer of Chen Jun was a discussion between Mr. Li and the Eastern Commander, Old Shen.

In the end, when the villain came to notify him, he became the one who did the worst, and there was nothing he could do.

After a brief pause, Chen Huanran raised his hand and knocked on the conference table to draw everyone's attention.

Then he continued: "First of all, a group of comrades from the Eastern Theater Propaganda Department will come here in the next few days to shoot a group of heavy armored brigade propaganda films for your 179th Brigade in Chebarku."

"The propaganda film will be used for the Ministry of National Defense's external presentation. Regarding the filming requirements and the coordination of the arms, the propaganda department will discuss it with you when the time comes."

"All the battalions just need to cooperate well."

"The second thing I think you have guessed is that the Theater Operations and Training Department has been busy recently. The latest policy of the Joint Staff Headquarters requires that our heavy equipment not only be integrated and informationized, but also intelligent in the future."

"These tasks will be piloted in various units in the near future. In view of Chen Jun's familiarity with synthetic work, Comrade Chen Jun will be transferred to the theater joint training department to report."

"Time is of the essence. You must return to the war zone with me tomorrow."

"any questions?"

“Report, no!!!”

Without waiting for Chen Jun to stand up and respond.

Feng Qiuhu was the first to stand up, leading all the cadres attending the meeting from the brigade to stand up and roar loudly.

After working in the same company for such a long time, and now I am being transferred, it is impossible to say that I am not at all shaken.

If Chen Jun were asked to stand up and answer alone, it would be too cruel for him personally.

"Ah."

Chen Huanran nodded upon seeing this. He didn't say anything else. He just stood up and patted Chen Jun's shoulder to comfort him.

Then, together with Li Hongtao, he strode out of the simple command room.

Before boarding the helicopter, the accompanying staff quietly took several boxes of liquid grenades from the cabin and handed them to the soldiers nearby.

This was obviously also instructed in advance by the leader.

After waving goodbye to the members of the 179th Brigade who came to see them off, the helicopter rumbled into the sky and gradually disappeared into the distance.

Chen Jun stood near the helipad, and he felt mixed emotions as he watched the helicopter slowly leave.

The notice of transfer came too suddenly.

The previous second, he was still thinking about the exercise, the performance of the 179th Brigade in combat, and how his negligence almost led to the destruction of the entire th Battalion.

The main forces that did not participate in the battle suffered more casualties than the main forces that did participate.

Chen Jun was also planning how to review this battle. Although the battle was very short, it only lasted for more than an hour at most, and most of the time was spent on the road.

But post-war review is an indispensable part of the field army. As the saying goes, training and preparing for war is a long-distance race, and any slackness may lead to being surpassed by latecomers.

To achieve victory, we should do a good job of reviewing and summarizing, conduct practical tests on the corrective measures we have formulated, and then improve and perfect them based on the results to ensure that the rectification is solid and effective.

It can also eliminate the troops' pampering in the process of timely review.

The plan is good and comprehensive.

I didn't expect that once the chief came over, all the plans would change. "Tomorrow."

Chen Jun sighed and suddenly felt empty inside.

It has been almost two years since I came to the 179th Brigade.

He was familiar with all his comrades here, and he was reluctant to leave so suddenly.

By this time, it was completely dark, and the battalions in the brigade were setting up tents next to distant buildings, preparing for short-term stationing.

Fatty He and Yang Chuanzhou and the others all went to notify about the shooting of the promotional video, as they were all busy with their own work.

On the contrary, Chen Jun, who is usually the busiest person, didn't know what to do at this moment.

As he was standing there in a daze, Xu Wensheng walked over with a smile on his face and put his arm around Chen Jun's shoulders.

"What's wrong, Lao Chen? Are you reluctant to leave our brigade?"

"It's not that easy to let go." Chen Jun turned his head to look at the political commissar, then smiled bitterly: "I think even if I have to transfer this time, the earliest I can do it is after we return."

“I just didn’t expect it to be so soon.”

"The chief came directly for this matter this time."

"Nothing strange about that."

Xu Wensheng had a generous smile on his face. After all, he was the political commissar and was very good at comforting people.

He pulled Chen Jun to a big tree that provided some shelter from the wind, and without caring whether the ground was dirty or not, he sat down on the ground and pulled Chen Jun to sit down with him.

"You should understand this military reform better than I do. Overall, it seems that all units are making great progress, and the military reform policies have been implemented in a big way."

"But in reality, the actual conditions of each unit are mixed. In addition, this is the second round of military reform, and the light and heavy equipment are constantly adjusted. The pressure in the war zone is also very high."

"The headquarters wants results, the theater wants results too, so what should the various military regions do?"

"Lao Tao has called more than once to complain that he wants to get you over there to help, but the military district won't let you go."

"During special times, a commander of a combined force brigade like you, who is very important, should be transferred to any suitable position with sufficient potential anytime and anywhere."

"Why do you think Deputy Chief of Staff Chen is here this time? That military strengthening plan we worked on before is finally going to be put to good use now."

"Also, you should know that in our field army, if you want to get a step closer, or even compete for the position of wheat ear cadre, there is a hard and unspoken rule, and that is to experience actual combat."

"Don't even think about it. With the news of this joint military exercise exposed, I'm afraid your personal situation can't be concealed. It's also impossible for the higher-ups to arrange for you to have a second opportunity to go abroad to participate in peacekeeping or lead an exercise in a short period of time."

"The important thing is to send you back home as soon as possible."

Having said this, Xu Wensheng's expression became extremely serious.

He is not exaggerating.

The joint military exercise obviously did not realize, or failed to recognize, the strength of heavy armored combat, and misjudged the gap between the two sides this time.

Young commanders like Chen Jun have probably been noticed not only by the Russians, but also by many people who have been secretly paying attention to this joint military exercise.

Regardless of whether he is transferred or not, it is inevitable that Chen Jun will return to China as soon as possible.

After all, Xu Wensheng is a veteran who has been in the army for a long time, and he looks at things more comprehensively than Chen Jun.

The shooting of a heavy-duty promotional video is just an external statement, and is nothing more than an excuse for further deterrence.

Taking advantage of the excuse of shooting a promotional video, the power of heavy armor was once again demonstrated in Chebarku.

If my guess is correct, tonight many units in the eastern and western parts of the country, including several other major war zones, will enter combat readiness and mobilize troops to rush to the coastal areas.

Be prepared to fight with all your strength.

After all, some people probably don't want to see the field army become strong.

Transfer is also an excuse given by the higher-ups.

Of course, after returning, Chen Jun must report to the training department.

But it’s not that the higher-ups are in a hurry to transfer people, but that the situation is changing too quickly.

Have to be on guard.

Listening to Political Commissar Xu's analysis, Chen Jun breathed a sigh of relief. He also knew the interests involved.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to Lao Xu. The two of them said nothing more. They sat side by side beside the big tree and watched the busy soldiers in the distance.

He was staring in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.

. . . . . .

9 p.m.

The strong winds in Chebarku started to blow again, but the 179th Brigade seemed to be particularly quiet tonight. After arranging their duties, many cadres hurried to the buildings of the former A17 combat zone.

They have temporarily tidied this place up and used it as the brigade's nearest office location.

Chief of Staff Chen will be transferred tomorrow. Given his prestige in the brigade, this news cannot be concealed at all.

Liang Kexiang, the commander of the logistics battalion, arranged for the kitchen team to prepare a table full of delicious food, which together with several boxes of beer unloaded by the leaders, formed a simple farewell banquet.

"Chen Jun, come on, come on, sit down."

Brigade Commander Feng Qiuhu, along with several cadres, warmly invited him to sit at the built dining table. The cold wind outside could not blow in, and the sadness of parting in the room could not spread out.

This was just a small gathering, so small that only a few battalion-level officers came, and so small that there was only enough beer for each person to have a few sips.

But at this party, it seemed like many people drank too much.

Feng Qiuhu, who was usually serious in front of the camp cadres, also had tears in his eyes. Everyone then realized that the cold middle-aged man who could only lecture at the meeting had not lost all his expression.

Yes, he shed tears quietly when he said goodbye to Chief of Staff Chen.

Helpless.

Soldiers are a group of people who are very strong, but at the same time very fragile, so fragile that they like to cry.

When watching the military parade, the motherland becomes stronger step by step. Many veterans can't control their emotions and cry in their dormitories. For example, a few days ago, the internal military newspaper said that in May this year, that is, next month, the first domestically-made aircraft carrier is expected to go to sea for sea trials.

Many people couldn't control themselves and cried till they lost their voices.

Many veterans murmured that it was not easy for the navy. It was not easy to develop from the artillery fire on ships to where it is today.

They were happy for their brothers in the navy.

In fact, neither is easy.

The same goes for the Air Force. Many pilots have never even flown the J-8 until they retired. This is a second-generation aircraft.

If someone asked the pilots, if a war breaks out and they were asked to charge forward in the second-generation J-7 or J-8 fighter jets, would they go?

At this time, many people would curl their lips and shake their heads, angrily cursing that even dogs would not go, because the reason is that the second-generation aircraft is simply not qualified to fight the fourth-generation aircraft.

Rushing forward to fight, being locked down from a hundred kilometers away, and then sacrificed, the whole process was just like that.

This is true, but the question is just an assumption.

If that day really comes, the pilot who just pouted and said that even dogs wouldn't go will drive his fighter plane to the battlefield at the first opportunity.

At this time, he didn't care what generation of aircraft the enemy was, because he knew that no matter how backward the equipment was, it could always hold off the motherland for a few seconds, right?

In this life, if you can block it for a few seconds, it's worth it.
The same is true for the army, but today they fought a great victory with heavy equipment and gained a crushing advantage.

A group of cadres who had built an invincible army were crying bitterly because their chief of staff was about to leave.

This may be the strongest and most vulnerable soldier.
