Chapter 367: A Visit to the Barracks (Part II)

At this time, the music stopped, and I saw a group of officers and two soldiers holding flags walking up on the rostrum. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The Info officers closed their seats in the chair, and the phalanxes in the audience adjusted their queues at a faster pace to make the queues look more uniform.

Of course, the officers seated on the rostrum were all principal generals of the People's Army, and Xiao Jianjun rushed from Tianjin last night to personally present the flags to the two newly built regiments. This is because the regimental and battalion levels are different and are already units that can fight independently, and some independent regiments and special regiments can even be placed alongside divisions and brigades, so they naturally attach great importance to the Central Military Commission; second, it is also to boost the morale of the army and prepare for the Beijing Campaign, which may be conducted in the future.

I saw Army Commander Chu Yaping get up from his seat, first saluted the audience, and then said loudly: "The first and second regiments of the People's Army have established a flag-awarding ceremony and officially begun." All of them are there, and they stand upright. ”

There was a long sound of heels clattering against each other, but the speed stopped dumbly, quite cleanly. Lin Mugang, who was filming on the roof of the car, gave Chu Yaping a close-up. In the old time and space, he did military columns, so he has seen some such scenes, although the army queue in front of him is not as neat as in the old time and space, but the momentum is not inferior to the army in the old time and space, and the forest even feels that it seems to be stronger.

In fact, this is not surprising, because after all, the armies of the old time and space have grown up in a peaceful environment, and have not experienced war, although the training is strict, but they are still inferior in momentum, and the vast majority of the KPA soldiers on the scene are veterans, and in the past few months, they have all experienced the baptism of war, so they naturally bring out a murderous aura, although it is not too strong, but it is by no means comparable to the army that has not experienced war.

At this time, Zhu Yaping said again: "Zhang Zhengjie, the commander of the first regiment, and Qiu Yahui, the commander of the second regiment, came to the stage to accept the military flag. ”

Zhang Zhengjie and Qiu Yahui were both company commanders when they first crossed, and Zhang Zhengjie was also Luo Yue's company commander, and his company was the first to arrive in the Middle East to protect the overseas Chinese. After the crossing, these two people have made a lot of achievements, when the battalion level was first established, the two of them were the first batch of battalion commanders, so the regimental level was established, and the two were promoted to the regiment commanders in the first batch.

If it was in the old time and space, it was estimated that it would take about ten years for the two of them to be promoted to the regimental level, but in this era, it took less than half a year, on the one hand, because the People's Army was in its infancy, and on the other hand, because it was a war period, the promotion speed of soldiers was naturally faster. In the era of the Red Army in the old time and space, 20-year-old division commanders, 30-year-old corps commanders, and 40-year-old commanders-in-chief were commonplace.

The two new regiment commanders stood at the front of the queue, and when they heard the order, they immediately stepped on the rostrum.

Xiao Jianjun also got up from his seat and first addressed the soldiers of the two regiments, saying: "Comrades, today is the time when the first and second regiments of our People's Army were formally established. The victory in the Battle of Qingdao dealt a powerful blow to the arrogance of the imperialist aggressors, smashed their ambitions, and safeguarded the country's sovereignty and territory, and protected the people. However, the aggressors are not resigned to defeat, and they still occupy Beijing, and although they have been forced to negotiate with us, they still want to bargain with us, and want to get back what they have lost from the battlefield from the negotiating table. However, we will absolutely not allow them to succeed, and we will certainly not give up an inch of land when everything is related to the country's sovereignty and interests, and the task of our people's army is to be ready to fight at all times, and as long as the Tianjin Executive Committee and the Central Military Commission give an order, we will drive all the aggressors out of China's territory. ”

After finishing speaking, there was a burst of thunderous applause from the audience, and Xiao Jianjun also left his seat, took the flag from the soldier holding the flag, and handed it over to Zhang Zhengjie and Qiu Yahui in turn. After receiving the military flag, the two walked down the rostrum, handed the flag to the flag bearer, and then opened the flag, held it high, and floated in the wind.

At this time, the flag awarding ceremony was also over, although the ceremony was not long, but it was very symbolic, once again let the soldiers of the People's Army feel that the sense of honor and social status of the soldiers, compared with the Qing court, is indeed very different.

The teams left the playground in turn and returned to their stations, and He Wenjing also returned to the roof of the car, with an excited look on her face, and said to Lin Mu: "Great, I have seen such a scene on TV before, but I didn't expect that I could experience it in person on the spot, it is really majestic." ”

Seeing He Wenjing's appearance, Lin Mu not only remembered his first visit to the military camp, but also was very excited, similar to He Wenjing, and said with a smile: "Okay, calm down, we will often participate in such activities in the future." ”

He Wenjing listened, and only then calmed down his emotions a little, and said, "Da Mu, it's not even eight o'clock yet, what are we going to do next?"

Lin Mu said with a smile: "It's rare to come to the barracks, just go around the barracks, and go to the grassroots troops to visit, anyway, we are all veterans, and we have a visit card." ”

He Wenjing was already a little unsatisfied, but after listening to Lin Mu's words, he also nodded, and hurriedly helped Lin Mu pack up the camera, and then the two climbed off the roof of the car, and He Wenjing asked again: "Da Mu, let's go to that unit first." ”

Lin Mu said: "Let's go to the first battalion, I heard that the first battalion is the most capable battalion in the People's Army, and it has made the greatest contribution in the Qingdao Campaign, of course, we must visit them first." ”

He Wenjing nodded and said, "Okay then, let's go to the first camp." ”

The two soldiers who led them had no objection to their aim, and immediately led them to the station of the first battalion.

―――――――― Divider ――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

After returning to the barracks, Luo Yue led the soldiers of the first battalion back to the station, and also held a small ceremony, which was not only to say goodbye to the comrades who left the camp, but also to welcome the new comrades, as well as the soldiers who officially announced their promotion. In the afternoon, they will participate in the field training of the whole group.

After arriving in Tianjin from Qingdao, the first battalion began to be reorganized, and Luo Yue first selected 6 crossing soldiers and 96 Benshi soldiers from the battalion to supplement the other troops. Originally, according to the expansion plan, about one-third of the soldiers from the first battalion should be transferred to other new battalions, but in consideration of the possibility of the Beijing Campaign not long ago, it was reduced to only about 20 percent of the soldiers from the first battalion to ensure the combat effectiveness of the first battalion as much as possible. And the same is true of several other main battalions.

Although the number of soldiers drawn has decreased by more than one percent, and the soldiers have not been together for a long time, Bi Jing has fought side by side together, which can be regarded as a friend of life and death, and this kind of friendship is naturally different, so of course a farewell ceremony must be held. Of course, it is not necessarily a good thing to supplement the soldiers of other units, the crossing soldiers are basically company-level officers, and the soldiers of this soldier can at least be a squad leader, and if they have served as a squad leader, they may be promoted to platoon commanders.

There are 3 fighters in the other battalion who joined the special forces, namely the original squad leader Mu Huai'an, the sniper Yang Rui, and the machine gunner Wang Wenhao. The military district commanders, and even the military commissars, for them these positions are too far from them, and the special forces are right in front of them.

The original squad leader Mu Huai'an is also a soldier with excellent comprehensive quality, while sniper Yang Rui and machine gunner Wang Wenhao also have their own strengths, and they were finally selected by the special forces. Although Luo Yue didn't want them to leave the camp, everyone had their own ambitions, and Luo Yue couldn't force them, so he used this farewell ceremony to see them off together.

Since some old soldiers have been transferred, there are naturally new soldiers to add in, and the first battalion has also added a firepower reinforcement company, including two machine gun platoons and one machine gun platoon, equipped with a total of 6 Makqin machine guns and 3 47 mm Haqikai machine guns, so that the combat effectiveness of the whole battalion has also been greatly improved, and the number of the whole battalion has also increased to nearly 600 people.

In addition, a group of veteran soldiers, a total of 9 crossing soldiers have been transferred, and many junior officer positions have also been vacated, some of the local soldiers with longer qualifications, or who have outstanding performance in recent battles have also been promoted, and now there are only 20 people in the first battalion plus Luo Yue, including Luo Yue, of which 17 soldiers belong to the original Luo Yue platoon, all of whom hold positions above the company level, and the officers at the squad and platoon level are all held by local soldiers, and there are also 3 local soldiers who have entered the company headquarters and held clerical positions。

According to the establishment of the People's Army, there is a headquarters at the company level, and the company headquarters is composed of a company commander, a deputy company commander, a company instructor, and a company clerk, plus a company guard squad of 10 people, and sometimes a company health department and a cooking class.

At present, the first battalion is also the only battalion in the People's Army that does not have crossing soldiers to serve as squad and platoon-level officers, and there are local soldiers who have entered the company headquarters to serve in the battalion.

This is mainly because there are more veteran soldiers in the first battalion, and because of the accumulation of military merits, the officers at the squad and platoon level are also showing a blowout trend, of course, this is also the general trend of the development of the people's army, and in the future, there will be more and more local soldiers among the middle and lower-level officers.
