Chapter 216: Coming to Li Chengming's hometown
Li Chengming just left, and everyone didn't expect that in just one day, the comrades-in-arms around him would stay away from them.
Now for the command company, this is a very sad thing. More than 100,000 troops participated in this exercise, but something happened to the command company of the rocket artillery battalion. This made Hu Qiang and Zhao Dongjiang very depressed.
After all, this kind of thing has not happened to them in the more than ten years they have been soldiers. It is something they have never encountered since they became the head of this company. For a while, the two of them didn't know how to deal with this matter.
"Battalion commander! This Li became famous and sacrificed. What are we going to do with him? Hu Qiang now came to the camp headquarters, and he asked a little unmistakenly.
"This! Old Hu! You don't have to worry about it. This Li became famous because he died in the line of duty. This has already been reported. I am afraid that this meeting is already known to Vice Chairman Liu of the Central Military Commission. What to do, your company doesn't have to worry about it. ”
The battalion commander learned in the morning that Li Chengming had died. This has already asked the head of the regiment how to deal with the aftermath of Li Chengming. The regiment commander told him that this was the only casualty accident in our exercise.
This should be handled well, and the masses must not see that we have not treated our fighters with enough respect and love. I have heard that this time it is to show the importance that our troops attach to this casualty accident. In particular, let the commander personally deal with this matter.
This is because the warrior died, which naturally had to inform his family. In the final analysis, this is also a matter related to civil-military relations.
Last time, because Commander Zhu successfully dealt with the incident of bombing a civilian house by mistake. This time, Vice Chairman Liu of the Central Military Commission decided to hand it over to the military commander.
After receiving the notice, the army commander drew up a plan to deal with Li Chengming's matter. First of all, this should go to the scene of this exercise. Let them look at their own sons at the least.
Then, a large memorial service will be held in the large auditorium of this unit, and Vice Chairman Liu of the Central Military Commission will also attend. To show respect for an ordinary warrior.
Then the troops transported Li Chengming's body back to his hometown for burial. The army also arranged for senior leaders to attend Li Chengming's funeral.
After the commander thought of this plan to deal with Li Chengming's sacrifice. He directly called the Yu Division of the Air Force and asked the division commander to send a helicopter to the exercise site of the military headquarters.
When the division commander heard this, of course, he immediately carried out the order. Let a pilot fly to the military headquarters in a small helicopter.
This military commander means that this is going to pick up Li Chengming's parents, so if it takes several days to take the train, how can it work! Even if you take a civil aviation from the airport to Li Chengming's hometown, there is a distance of hundreds of kilometers, and it is still a matter of taking a car to reach this life-threatening matter, how can it be delayed for so long.
In this way, the army commander decided to fly directly from Fujian to Hebei by helicopter. Pick up Li Chengming's parents directly on the plane and fly back to the exercise site.
To show respect for a family member of the fighter. This time, the commander decided to take a plane to pick up Li Chengming's parents in person. But he couldn't go alone. This bare-bones commander can't help but lead troops!
The commander of the most rear, with Hu Qiang, the commander of the commanding company, Zhou Jun and Zhu Xiangjun, flew by helicopter to Li Chengming's hometown in Hebei Province.
Why should Hu Qiang, Zhou Jun and Zhu Xiangjun go, this army commander mainly considered that the three of them represented some different levels of personnel in the company.
This company commander, of course, represents the head of the company. Zhou Jun represents the platoon commander of the company. This Zhu Xiangjunxun is naturally the representative of the squad leader and soldiers in the company. After all, this Zhu Xiangjun has not yet been titled, and he can still be used as a representative of the soldiers.
Now after Hu Qiang heard the notice from his superiors, he came to the military headquarters with Zhu Xiangjun and Zhou Jun in a special car sent by the regiment. Then he took the helicopter that had already been parked with the army commander and flew to Li Chengming's hometown in Hebei Province. …,
This Zhu Xiangjun is now sitting in the plane with a lot of imagination. This life experience is really unimaginable. This exercise, I have experienced too many life changes. In just half a month, he was promoted from a soldier to a forced company commander.
But this comrade-in-arms, who was still alive with him the day before yesterday, is now sleeping in a foreign land. The world is really impermanent, and everything is difficult!
Now the man sitting in the helicopter doesn't speak. After all, this is to greet the relatives of the fallen comrades. Against the backdrop of such an event, he dared to show a relaxed expression. Even the commander was now sitting next to the pilot, with a solemn expression on his face.
After five or six hours of flight, the helicopter flew to Li Chengming's hometown. Zhu Xiangjun saw that this was a place that was almost as poor as his hometown. After all, it's only a few hundred miles away from my hometown.
Now the helicopter landed directly in an open area next to a small village.
This small mountain village suddenly saw a military helicopter landing next to its village, which immediately attracted many onlookers from the villagers, and they didn't know what was going on.
Among these onlookers happened to be Li Chengming's parents. Because Li Chengming's home is at the entrance of this small village. The old couple was having lunch at the door of their home. They were also very curious when they saw an army helicopter flying in front of their home. They came to the helicopter with the rest of the villagers.
At this time, after the helicopter stopped, the commander took Zhu Xiangjun and they got out of the helicopter. The villagers were even more puzzled when they saw a general with several cadres and soldiers of several units coming to their small village. They all looked at Zhu Xiangjun and them with surprised faces.
"Excuse me! That fellow can tell us that Comrade Li Chengming's home is there! And the commander came over.
With a solemn expression, he asked the villagers who were watching.
"This chief! I'm the mother of fame, why didn't our family come back! He's going to be discharged from the army this year. Why didn't I come back with you? ”
As soon as the army commander finished asking, a very old and slightly fat rural woman came to the army commander and asked with a blank face.
"Ahh You are Li Chengming's mother! ”
The commander looked at the peasant woman with a solemn expression.
The peasant woman just nodded vigorously and said nothing.
At this time, the commander looked at the old woman with a face of vicissitudes and gray temples, sighed, and said softly: "I'm sorry! Eldest sister! Fame him...... He died in the line of duty during this joint exercise of the three services. On behalf of the superior commanders and the officers and men of the army, I would like to express my comfort to you. ”
After the commander finished speaking, he was a little uncontrollable, blinked vigorously, and turned his face away.
"What! Is it true that our family has died in fame! Heads! What the hell is going on! At this moment, a thin old man next to the old woman suddenly rushed over from the burial next to him, took the military commander's hand violently, and asked anxiously...... )
