"One-two-one, one-two-one......"

In an army camp in Luoshan Province of the Han and Tang Empires, a group of soldiers who were about to retire came to the front of the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment in a neat queue, ready to carry out the title ceremony.

Luoshan Province is a province formed by the merger of the original six towns in the northwest of the Han and Tang Empires, namely Luoshan Town, Kangyang Town, Botai Town, Fuping Town, Xiangxi Town, and Ding'an Town.

This army camp was the home of one armored regiment under the 76th Army of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, and the 76th Army was subordinate to the First Military Region of the Han and Tang Empires.

The four military regions of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires in the Eastern Continent are the First Military Region, the Second Military Region, the Third Military Region and the Fourth Military Region, and the two military regions in the Western Continent are the Fifth Military Region and the Sixth Military Region.

At present, the six military regions of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires have a total of 120 group armies and 1,000 garrison brigades.

Each group army has two armored divisions, three infantry divisions, one artillery division, and one group army headquarters, with a total strength of about 200,000 troops.

The armored division is directly composed of 8 regiments, including 3 armored regiments, 2 attack helicopter regiments, 1 air defense regiment, and 2 armored infantry regiments.

THE ENTIRE ARMORED DIVISION HAS 566 TANKS, 4 COMMAND VEHICLES, 640 ARMORED VEHICLES, 88 GUNSHIPS, 88 TRANSPORT HELICOPTERS, 100 ANTI-AIRCRAFT VEHICLES, 90 155MM SELF-PROPELLED HOWITZERS, 160 MORTARS, 720 VEHICLES, 100 FUEL TRUCKS, AND ABOUT 22,000 TROOPS.

THE ARMORED REGIMENT CONSISTS OF 3 ARMORED BATTALIONS, 1 ARMORED INFANTRY BATTALION, 1 ARTILLERY BATTALION AND 1 REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS, WITH 180 TANKS, 40 ARMORED VEHICLES, 30 155MM SELF-PROPELLED HOWITZERS, 20 MORTARS AND 105 VEHICLES, AND THE FULL STRENGTH OF THE REGIMENT IS 2,900 MEN.

Hu Shaofeng, the commander of the armored regiment, looked at the more than 300 soldiers who were about to be discharged from the army and shouted: "Brothers, from today onwards, you will take off your military uniforms and leave the barracks where you have lived for five years.

But you have to remember that even if you take off your uniform, you are still a soldier, and the barracks will always be your home! ”

The Han and Tang Empires currently implemented compulsory military service, and the length of service of each compulsory soldier in the army was 5 years.

The head of the regiment, Hu Shaofeng, then continued: "If there are more, I will no longer be verbose here, and I will start to pick up the title below......"

The regiment commander Hu Shaofeng's words were not finished, and at this time, Liu Dongqiang, the chief of staff of the regiment, hurriedly ran over with a piece of paper, "Old Hu, wait a minute!" ”

After speaking, Liu Dongqiang, chief of staff of the regiment, handed the paper in his hand to the regiment commander Hu Shaofeng.

Regiment Commander Hu Shaofeng took a look at it, his face couldn't help showing a surprised expression, and then announced to the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment: "Due to special circumstances, the title removal ceremony is temporarily canceled, and everyone will return to the barracks immediately." ”

After regiment commander Hu Shaofeng and regimental chief of staff Liu Dongqiang returned to the barracks at the regiment headquarters, deputy regiment commander Sun Guanghui immediately asked: "Old Hu, old Liu, what's wrong?" ”

Regiment Commander Hu Shaofeng handed the paper in his hand to Deputy Regiment Commander Sun Guanghui, "The group army headquarters sent a telegram ordering all conscripts who have been discharged this year to delay their discharge. ”

Deputy regiment commander Sun Guanghui looked at the order sent by the group army headquarters, and then said in a deep voice: "Lao Hu, Lao Liu, it seems that there is going to be a war." ”

The regiment commander Hu Shaofeng rubbed his hands and said: "Finally waiting for this day, the three of us immediately went separately to announce the order of the group army command, and do a good job in the ideological work of the veterans." ”

Regiment commander Hu Shaofeng is 38 years old this year and graduated from the Tianshengcheng Armored Forces Academy.

Hu Shaofeng's father, Hu Wei, was once the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Second Mixed Brigade of the Zhenwei Army, when the Zhou family soldiers occupied Jingsheng City without blood, Hu Wei received 800,000 silver coins from the Zhou family, then took off his military uniform and became a businessman.

Hu Shaofeng often fantasized that if his father didn't want the 800,000 silver coins, but chose to stay in the Zhou family's army, then with his father's military position at that time, he would at least be able to get the rank of general in the future, and then he would have a big backer.

It's a pity that those are just fantasies, and I can only work hard to climb up, hoping to be a backer for my son in the future.

And if a soldier wants to climb up, the fastest way is to make military achievements on the battlefield.

At a thermal power plant in a city in Luoshan Province in the Han and Tang Empires, Cao Zhenjie, a co-driver in the steam turbine workshop, yawned while hauling the floor tiles around the steam turbine.

Cao Zhenjie was discharged from the Imperial Army of the Han and Tang Empires two years ago, and after being discharged from the army, he was assigned to work in a thermal power plant in his hometown and was assigned to the steam engine workshop.

Cao Zhenjie is still satisfied with the equipment that can be assigned to the steam engine workshop, although the steam engine workshop has to contact high temperature and high pressure equipment every day, but it is better than being assigned to the boiler workshop and fuel workshop.

There are veterans who were assigned to the thermal power plant with Cao Zhenjie, and they were assigned to the boiler workshop and the fuel workshop, and they had to deal with coal ash all day long, and even if they were well protected, their nostrils were full of coal ash every day.

However, the work of the thermal power plant needs to be shifted, and Cao Zhenjie's current shift is a zero hour shift, from 12 o'clock in the middle of the night to 8 o'clock in the morning, according to Cao Zhenjie's words, every time he goes to the zero hour shift, he has to live several days less.

At this time, it was already more than 7 o'clock in the morning, and Cao Zhenjie, who was cleaning before the handover, was sleepy and yawning.

The operation squad leader of the unit in the steam engine workshop came over at this time and shouted in Cao Zhenjie's ear: "Xiaojie, go to the director's office immediately!" ”

"Squad leader, this sanitation is not done yet!"

"You go to the director's office, and I'll take care of the rest."

After Cao Zhenjie came to the director's office of the steam engine workshop, he found that Lin Hai, the co-driver of another unit in the same workshop, had also come over.

Zhang Hui, the director of the steam engine workshop, who was nearly sixty years old, saw that Cao Zhenjie had also arrived, so he said to them: "Cao Zhenjie, Lin Hai, this is a conscription order sent to you by the Reserve Armed Forces Department. ”

When Cao Zhenjie and Lin Hai heard this, they both showed shocked expressions on their faces.

Like Cao Zhenjie, Lin Hai is also a veteran, but Lin Hai was discharged from the army last year, less than a year after being assigned to the thermal power plant.

According to the regulations of the Han and Tang Empires, before the age of 40, all veterans belong to the reserves, and are managed by the reserve armed forces departments in various places, and they also need to undergo at least 20 days of intensive military training every year.

Cao Zhenjie couldn't help but exclaim: "I'm just an ordinary infantryman, even I have to be conscripted, do I have to go to war with those beast countries and elf countries?" ”

Zhang Hui, director of the steam engine workshop, nodded slightly, "I'm afraid it's going to be a war, a total of 9 veterans in our workshop have received a call order from the Reserve Armed Forces Department this time, and they are all discharged within three years."

Total, 57 veterans of the entire thermal power plant received call-up orders. ”

Zhang Hui immediately handed over the two conscription orders to Cao Zhenjie and Lin Hai respectively.

Cao Zhenjie looked at the conscription order and said with some excitement: "I didn't expect to catch up with a war, I thought that my five years of soldiers were in vain!" ”

Lin Hai took his conscription order and asked with some hesitation: "Director, we re-enlist, then our work ......?"

Lin Hai is a rural person, and Lin Hai is quite satisfied with the fact that he can be assigned to a factory in the city after being discharged from the army, and the salary of the thermal power plant is much higher than that of ordinary work.

Zhang Hui immediately said: "You can rest assured, you can't lose your job, and the factory department held an emergency meeting in the middle of the night last night, and decided that all the employees in the factory who received the call order will be upgraded by one level."

When you come back, you will be the driver directly, and during your enlistment, you will be paid a monthly salary according to the driver's position. ”

The wages of thermal power plants are composed of post wages plus benefit wages, of which post wages account for about 70 percent.

When Cao Zhenjie and Lin Hai heard this, they couldn't help but be happy.

You must know that after re-enlistment, but there is a military salary, if the factory still pays the post salary, they can receive 2 wages every month.

Zhang Hui, director of the steam engine workshop, stood up at this time and saluted Cao Zhenjie and Lin Hai, "As a veteran, I hope you can fight bravely on the battlefield and don't embarrass the people in your hometown."

And most importantly, come back alive! ”

Cao Zhenjie and Lin Hai stood upright at the same time and saluted Zhang Hui with a military salute.

After the shift was handed over, Cao Zhenjie packed up his personal belongings and did not leave the thermal power plant immediately, but went to the chemical workshop.

Cao Zhenjie came to a laboratory in the chemical workshop of the thermal power plant, knocked on the door, and then a young and beautiful woman opened the door.

When the woman saw Cao Zhenjie, her brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "Cao Zhenjie, how many times have I told you, don't come to me when you go to work, let our director see it, and it's time to talk about me again." ”

This young and beautiful woman's name is Pang Wenyan, and Cao Zhenjie has launched a crazy pursuit of Pang Wenyan since he saw Pang Wenyan.

It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, and Pang Wenyan has always been uninterested in Cao Zhenjie.

"Wen Yan, I received a call order from the Ministry of Reserve Armed Forces, after getting off work today, I won't be here tomorrow, I have to say goodbye to you, hehe."

When Pang Wenyan heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, "Conscription order? Is there going to be a war? ”

Cao Zhenjie said indifferently: "It should be!" All the veterans who have been discharged from the army in the last three years of our thermal power plant have received a call-up order.

Wen Yan, I went to the army, I ...... Can I write to you? ”

Pang Wenyan had an indescribable feeling in her heart at this time, Cao Zhenjie was dangling in front of her every day, which made her very annoying.

But when she heard that Cao Zhenjie was going to leave the thermal power plant and return to the army, Pang Wenyan didn't know why her heart was suddenly a little empty.

"Yes...... You can write to me.

Cao Zhenjie, remember, you must come back alive to see me! ”

Cao Zhenjie couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Pang Wenyan agree to write to her, "Wenyan, don't worry!"

I'll definitely come back to see you, and bring you at least a third-class Battle Meritorious Service Medal as a gift!" ”

The medals of the Han and Tang imperial armies are still four levels, the highest being the special combat merit medal and the lowest being the third-class combat merit medal.

As long as a soldier can receive a third-class military merit medal, after being discharged from the army, he can receive a military merit allowance every month.

The combat merit allowance of the third-class Medal of Merit is almost equivalent to Cao Zhenjie's previous monthly salary.

After Lin Hai got off work, he took some of his belongings and returned to the factory dormitory first.

After putting the things in the dormitory, Lin Hai came to the communication room of the factory dormitory, "Uncle Chen, I want to call home." ”

Chen Baoshun, the doorman in the communication room, asked, "Is it a long distance?" ”

"No, my home is in Linjia Village, Donggang Town, outside the city."

"The call fee is 2 copper coins a minute, and the long-distance fee is 5 copper coins a minute."

After Lin Hai dialed the phone number of the village store, "Uncle Gensheng, I'm Lin Hai, you can help me call my dad and answer the phone." ”

After about 3 minutes, Lin Hai's father's slightly wheezing voice came from the phone, "Sanwa, have you received a call order?" ”

"Dad, how do you know?"

"Early this morning, several students in the village who have been discharged from the army in recent years have received a call-up order.

Sanwa, your father didn't coax him on the battlefield back then, and now our family can go to the battlefield again, don't embarrass our Lao Lin family! ”

"Dad, don't worry!

I'm going to try to bring you back a medal of merit this time! ”

"It doesn't matter what the medal of merit is, Sanwa...... Gotta come back alive. ”

When Lin Hai heard his father's words, his eyes couldn't help but be a little sour, "Dad, I will definitely come back alive." ”

"Can I go home before I go to the army?"

"Dad, I won't go back, my old troops are stationed on the Western Continent, I have to hurry up and rush back to the troops."

Lin Hai put down the phone, looked at the time, and after about 5 minutes, he took out a banknote with a face value of 10 copper coins from his pocket and handed it to the doorman Chen Baoshun.

The doorman Chen Baoshun did not accept the money, but asked Lin Hai: "Have you received a call order from the Reserve Armed Forces Department?" ”

Lin Hai nodded, "I just received it in the morning." ”

The doorman Chen Baoshun looked at half of his left arm, and said with some sighs: "I have no hope of receiving a conscription order in my life."

Boy, take the money back, and when you come back, Uncle Chen will invite you to drink! ”

After Lin Hai called home, he got on his bicycle and went to a middle school.

After Lin Hai made a phone call in the communication room at the entrance of the middle school, a young female teacher soon arrived at the school gate.

"The sea, why did you come here?"

This female teacher is Lin Hai's girlfriend Shen Qing, the two met under the introduction of a friend and have been together for more than half a year.

"Xiaoqing, I received a call order from the Reserve Armed Forces Department, and I am about to return to the army."

"What? Conscription Order! This...... Is this going to war? Shen Qing suddenly became flustered.

Lin Hai nodded with a solemn expression, "Xiaoqing, although I have taken off my military uniform, the military imprint on my body will never change.

If there is a war, it will be recalled! ”

Shen Qing said with tears in his eyes: "My father is also a soldier, I understand you.

However, the sea, you must come back alive, I am waiting for you, I will always wait for you! ”

"Xiaoqing, I'll come back alive! Certain! ”

"Dahai, you wait for me for a while, I'll go and ask for leave now, accompany you to buy some things, and take them to the troops.

In the evening, I ...... I'm not going home. ”
