Chapter 585: Inspecting the Regiment Headquarters, Chief of Staff Wang was led astray

The vehicle finally stopped on a gravel road in front of the regiment headquarters building. Wang Jianxing got out of the car and immediately started calling the soldiers on duty to come and move the luggage.

Chen Jun put his hands on his hips and looked around. The environment of the regiment headquarters was indeed not as good as that of the military sub-district, but it was clean and tidy, and not as bad as he had imagined.

"Captain Chen, Political Commissar Cui has gone to the company. He will probably be back to the regiment headquarters tonight. How about I arrange for you to rest in the dormitory first?"

Chief of Staff Wang ordered the sentry to support Li Wujie and Bian Tao, and took their luggage to the dormitory. Then he came to Chen Jun to ask questions.

Along the way, Chen Jun had already noticed that Wang Jianxing had a limp and walked like a little old man. He didn't ask because he felt embarrassed because there were people around him.

Now they were the only two standing there. Chen Jun shook his head and stared at Lao Wang's leg: "Chief of Staff Wang, is your leg injured or something?"

"Oh, this." Wang Jianxing heard the question and shook his left leg nonchalantly, saying, "When I was a battalion commander a few years ago, I was patrolling the border and was bitten by a low-quality landmine planted by the returnees."

Chen Jun, the person who returned home as mentioned by Wang Jianxing, knew what was going on. People in the mainland were not clear about border issues and thought that the border guards were only guarding against some troublesome Komodo lizards.

In fact, it is not that simple. There are many guys outside the border who are armed to the teeth, equipped with American equipment, and often wait for opportunities to sneak into the country to cause trouble.

Those guys kept running back and forth, so the border guards called them returnees.

The real peace has only come in the past two or three years, and these Hui people have not been so rampant.

The reason is simply that the motherland has become strong and can intimidate some people, so that the border can be safe, but it is only safe a little.

The motherland is still not strong enough. After all, it has only been a few years since we had enough food. Chen Jun remembered that when he first went to military school, every household in his hometown did not dare to eat meat for every meal.

It has only improved completely in recent years.

"You've been running all day, aren't you tired? If not, come walk around with me."

Chen Jun is a workaholic. He has no intention of lying in bed and resting when he first arrives at the new unit.

"Okay, let's go around."

Wang Jianxing agreed happily and strolled around the regiment headquarters with Chen Jun.

The regiment headquarters and the subordinate units of the 353rd Regiment did not occupy much space. Chen Jun basically toured them in more than minutes.

Generally speaking, food and drink are not a big problem here. There are vegetable greenhouses and some sheep pens built for logistics and raising sheep, which is better than the border defense regiment in Zhadong.

The 353rd Regiment is already very comfortable.

As they walked, they came to the camp of the communications brigade at the edge of the valley.

According to Wang Jianxing, not only communications soldiers live in the communications brigade, but also many people who have withdrawn from the front-line posts to rest, or who come temporarily to purchase supplies.

Soldiers who are recovering from injuries will be arranged to rest at the communications battalion.

When the two men came over, there were more than a dozen soldiers kneeling side by side practicing shooting.

But what is surprising is that these soldiers did not use the Type 191 assault rifle, which was only widely equipped this year, but each of them was equipped with a black crossbow.

This actually aroused Chen Jun's interest. He had practiced this a lot in Longya before, mainly when he was performing missions and wanted to ensure safety without making any noise.

For close range attacks, bows and crossbows will be used instead of sniper rifles.

Don't underestimate this thing. Besides being less likely to be exposed when fighting behind enemy lines, it will not cause avalanches in snowy areas and its lethality is much more powerful than small-caliber bullets.

In addition to bows and crossbows, Longya generally does not use paratrooper knives in close combat. Those are outdated equipment from the 1980s and 1990s. Now they use folding axes.

Chen Jun also saw a lot of similar folding multifunctional axes on the table in the training ground of the Communications Brigade.

I guess they were trained to chop down Komodo lizards.

The principle of not firing the first shot will make the battles on the border tend to be dominated by cold weapons.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Not long after the two men arrived, the dozen or so soldiers who were practicing shooting fired crossbows. A row of targets sixty meters away began to sway visibly, and dozens of arrows were shot at them in the blink of an eye.

Modern crossbows, with the power of high technology, have a range of about 50 meters, and with the precise positioning of optical sights, shooting is much easier than with rifles.

Because new recruits use rifles to shoot at targets at a hundred meters, but no one will provide you with a scope, you just have to aim based on your feeling.

"Good!! Not bad!"

Chen Jun stood behind and watched for a while, then took the initiative to applaud and praise.

The applause broke the silence of the scene. Wang Jianxing hurriedly took two steps forward and shouted: "Everyone, stand at attention and turn around."

"Comrades, let me introduce to you this person. This is our new 353rd Regiment commander, Commander Chen Jun."

"Everyone applauds."

Bang bang bang bang
The soldiers who were originally training, holding their crossbows, began to applaud enthusiastically, while also looking at their new leader curiously.

Chen Jun originally did not intend to show up on such an occasion. After he had just reported in and familiarized himself with the situation, it would not be too late to notify all personnel of the regiment headquarters and the regiment's directly affiliated brigade to gather for a meeting tomorrow morning.

Now that the Chief of Staff has introduced it.

Chen Jun simply took two steps forward and got closer to the group of soldiers. Only then did he realize that the soldiers who had been practicing shooting with their backs to him just now all had dark and rough skin.

The skin on my face and hands peeled off layer by layer.

His face was red and purple with a hint of blue, his eyes were bloodshot and his lips were chapped.

Two of the soldiers were not wearing hats, and their hair was messy like a chicken coop.

Obviously, these people were soldiers who had come down from the front-line outposts and were temporarily resting here.

Suddenly seeing this scene, Chen Jun didn't say what he had been holding back. These soldiers didn't look very old, maybe nineteen or twenty years old at most.

However, due to long-term lack of oxygen in the mountains, he looks much older than his actual age.

Chen Jun felt extremely uncomfortable. He walked up to a soldier on the far left, took the crossbow from him and stared at him for a few seconds.

"Comrade, how old are you? What's your name?"

"Report to the captain, my name is Marta, and I am nineteen years old."

"Good, your crossbow practice is good."

Chen Jun raised his hand and patted the young soldier on the shoulder, sighing inwardly. At this moment, he felt that he was too late to come to the border.

It was also at this moment that he had the idea of ​​settling down in the border area for the rest of his life. In fact, Chen Jun's idea was the same as that of millions of other Chinese people.

It is because of these people that in the life forbidden zone that is blocked by ice and snow all year round, there are always firm figures standing on the top of the mountain.

Defending the borders of the motherland.

Chen Jun returned the crossbow to Marta, pointed to a collapsed section of the wall behind the target in the distance, and couldn't help laughing: "It's still too dangerous to practice shooting here."

"There's a valley directly behind the target. How can we do that without a wall?"

"What if a fellow villager happens to pass by here? Wouldn't that be troublesome?"

"Chief of Staff Wang, find a few soldiers who can build walls and build them up. Even though our place is remote, it is still a military camp. How can there be such a big gap?"

When Wang Jianxing heard the commander mention the wall collapse, he scratched his head awkwardly and whispered, "Commander, we have comrades here who can build the wall."

"But there are no bricks. It was blown down by a strong wind last year. When we wanted to rebuild it, all the bricks were picked up by someone."

Chen Jun originally wanted to say it was nonsense, how could a regiment headquarters be without bricks, but think about it, this is Linzhi, a place with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters.

Finally he opened his mouth, but still no words came out.

After a long while, Chen Jun pulled Wang Jianxing aside and frowned, saying, "We can't let the soldiers practice like this without bricks. It's too dangerous."

"Well, on the way back from the military sub-district just now, I saw a very spectacular building in Linzhi County?"

"What is that place?"

"The county administration compound."

Wang Jianxing didn’t understand Chen Jun’s style, and responded in a daze.

"That's it. I think that place is pretty good. Arrange for the soldiers to go over and borrow some bricks. Have the wall built for me tonight."

"No, Captain." Wang Jianxing was a little anxious. The people in the management compound didn't sell bricks. What was the point of going to them to borrow some?
"Where does the management department have bricks? Even if they did, they wouldn't lend them to us."

Looking at this straightforward chief of staff, Chen Jun raised his hand and patted his forehead, saying helplessly: "If they don't lend it, can't you arrange someone to go there at night?"

"If they don't lend us the money, will we tear down the wall? We'll just tear down as much as we need. We'll repair our wall first and we can think about the rest later."

Oh my god, is this how you borrow money? ! !

To be honest, Wang Jianxing was indeed a little tempted. Although the collapse of the wall was not a serious matter, everyone in the military sub-district knew about it.

But it's a military camp after all, so it's not nice to say it.

"Well, Captain, the management will definitely not be happy about this. If we tear down someone's perfectly good wall, isn't that a bad idea?"

Wang Jianxing obviously overestimated Chen Jun's bottom line. As I said before, how many good people are there among those who play tactics?
Chen Jun glanced at Wang Jianxing and asked, "What do you mean by someone else's wall?"

"They are all the country's bricks, so they can be used anywhere."

"As long as you don't touch your fellow villagers, it won't be considered a violation of discipline if you touch the management department. If you can't get the bricks, others will surely be able to. Just leave this issue to them to coordinate."

"Go get ready."

"Okay!!"

Wang Jianxing rubbed his hands excitedly. He was also a veteran who dared to fight for his life on the battlefield. Apart from violating discipline, there was nothing he dared not do.

"Who is that? Lao Li!!!"

"Go, tell the comrades in the platoon to prepare two trucks, crowbars, and hammers, and go out on the mission tonight."

"Yes, Chief of Staff!!"

Chen Jun looked at the problem that had been left over for a year and was solved by him. He nodded with satisfaction and left.

Don't ask why they are not afraid of the management department coming to cause trouble or something like that. The regiment is not afraid of such trouble at all.

Besides, Chen Jun just arrived and doesn’t know anything. Even if he steps in to handle these trivial matters, the political commissar will be responsible for them.

At worst, we can say that the political commissar has gone to the unit to do some work, and those who are asked to come and question us won’t even be able to get in the door.

If they have the ability, they can also tear down the wall. Let’s see if they have the courage to do so.

. . . . . .

The political commissar of the 353rd Regiment has indeed been transferred to another unit. The previous commander retired due to injury, and the higher-ups have been slow to transfer a replacement. The entire regiment cannot do without a commander.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of work, Political Commissar Cui Zhongquan took charge of both political work and military affairs, and has been inspecting the border defense battalion and border defense company of the 353rd Regiment with the deputy regiment commander in the past few days.

It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that the group of people rushed back exhausted.

And at this time.

Chen Jun, the new team leader, was sitting in his office.

Besides him, Chief of Staff Wang Jianxing, Bian Tao and Li Wujie were all there. After a short rest, the complexion of these two guys had improved a lot, but they were still very weak.

Chen Jun looked at the two of them and said after a moment's hesitation: "Well, Xiao Wu and Lao Bian, you two should rest more these two days, do less activities and less physical work."

"After resting and reviving, I will go to the brigade directly under my command and slowly follow the drills to gradually adapt to border defense life."

"You two are both cadres now. I can't arrange your work directly. Before the official transfer order comes, just adapt with the comrades here."

"Yes!!"

The two of them nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

They were originally arranged to come here to help, but unexpectedly, they failed to help and their legs were almost pulled back two miles.

"Well, Chief of Staff Wang, please briefly introduce the situation of the 353rd Regiment."

After Chen Jun finished explaining the arrangements for the two generals Heng and Ha, he was preparing to start work in the regiment.

Before Wang Jianxing could open his mouth, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

"It should be the political commissar who has returned."

Wang Jianxing stood up and opened the door with a smile, because normally no one came to the commander's office. The old commander had great authority in the 353rd Regiment, and no one would come to make trouble for trivial matters.

The office door is opened.

Standing outside the door was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a smile on his face.

Perhaps he had just come down from the sentry post. He was wearing a herringbone military uniform that had faded to a pale color, a brown leather hat on his head, and a full beard.

His eyes were bright under his thick eyebrows and his expression looked a little rigid. Although he was skinny, he was still full of energy and there was a hint of murderousness on his face.

It fits the image of a veteran of the border defense force.

"Political Commissar Cui, haha, you're back?"

"Come on, this is our new team leader, Chen Jun."

"Chen Jun, this is the political commissar of our 353rd Regiment, Cui Zhongquan."

Chen Jianxing acted as an introducer and introduced enthusiastically.

Chen Jun stood up from his office, strode to the door, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Political Commissar Cui, my name is Chen Jun, I'm new here, and I hope you can give me more guidance on my work in the future."

"Haha, kid, you don't know me, but I know you."

Cui Zhongquan stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Jun. With a warm smile on his face, he took off his tweed coat and put it on the sofa beside him.

Maybe he saw the confusion on Chen Jun's face.

Political Commissar Cui laughed and pulled Chen Jun to sit on a chair beside him. He patted his chest and explained: "I am a student of the 2000 class of the Seventh College of Xijing Anti-Japanese University."

"You are a student of the class of 2012. If you really count, I am your senior."

"Ha ha!!"

After hearing what Cui Zhongquan said, Chen Jun suddenly understood.

The name of Xijing Army Border Defense College was changed in 2011. It was precisely because of the change that the enrollment of grade 12 was expanded and the admission score was lowered.

Before this, the Border Defense College had always been the Seventh Branch of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, so the two of them were really in the status of senior and junior.

Chen Jun is still worried about how to achieve some results after coming to the 353rd Regiment.

Little did he know, he didn't need to do much.

As a top student who graduated from the Army Border Defense Academy, many officers among the 50,000 border guards are his seniors.

Including the 353rd Regiment, its border defense battalion and border defense company, there are several cadres that Chen Jun is familiar with.

When Feng Hongyi changed the name to School Anniversary, let Chen Jun serve as the deputy commander, and asked him to participate in the military parade, it was not a random review.

Don't think that the old man transferred Chen Jun to the border purely for training. In fact, this transfer was doomed from the moment he participated in the school anniversary celebration.

Because his roots here are deeper.

Even if you use it as a springboard, you will jump higher.

The above layout and disputes are never achieved overnight and are often considered very far ahead. At this time, the previous layout begins to slowly reveal itself.

Wang Jianxing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two not only knew each other but also graduated from the same college. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered one to each of them.

To be honest, before the political commissar came back, he was really worried that the new commander, who was young and energetic, would not get along well with the political commissar.

After all, the political commissars of the border defense regiment are not comparable to those of the inland troops. Each one is more powerful than the other.

Now, he felt relieved.
