"Step on the gas!"

Xue Xiangdong urged the driver again.

The army camouflage Cheetah 2030A off-road vehicle is speeding on the unpaved road, passing through uneven roads, the two-ton 2030A is like walking on the ground, the suspension specially built for the broken road surface stabilizes the body well, and the V-shaped six-cylinder engine continues to have a stable and powerful power output, driving the vehicle to move forward bravely, and the dust raised behind it has already covered the sky.

Looking down from the air, in the endless desert, the sparse woods have long been blocked by autumn clothes and golden, a slight gust of wind passes, the leaves dance, and the top of the high mountains and mountains far away are already covered with snow. A serpentine layout of an unpaved war-ready highway crosses the desert, connecting the east and west ends, connecting Kubeichang Station with the high-grade highway on the outskirts of the city.

Overhead, the sun is just right, and the early autumn and September in the western region are still a little warm.

"Regiment commander, I heard that the political commissar of the second division personally sent it over, who is the new person, the pomp is so big?" The driver pressed the accelerator a little deeper and asked.

Xue Xiangdong, who has a Chinese character face, wears an 87-style four-color camouflage uniform, has a scruffy beard, and his skin is very rough, and he can think of the cold wind in the west when he looks at his face. He is not tall, stocky, and has no military temperament, more like a middle-aged migrant worker.

The officers and men all knew that Regiment Commander Xue liked to wear old-fashioned camouflage uniforms, and there was only one kind of camouflage uniforms for the three armed forces back then, all of which were 87-style jungle camouflage training uniforms, and the jacket style with leather bands on the hem. The Army, Navy, and Air Force, including the Second Artillery Corps, are all in the same style.

Xue Xiangdong's status in the empty 73rd Division is very detached, you say that he is a maverick or that he is conservative, everything is passing in his eyes.

Because of this, he has no fight, gets along with the soldiers like brothers, and even a soldier dares to make a few jokes and complain to him. However, he is very strict with cadres, and it can even be said that he is harsh.

For example, the young captain staff officer sitting in the back row at this time could only listen to the driver of the second non-commissioned officer and the regiment commander joking, he was always careful, let alone involved.

liking to sit in the co-pilot is another characteristic of Xue Xiangdong, and his staff officers can often enjoy the treatment of the back row.

"Cowman, I'm better than your leader." Xue Xiangdong rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.

The young captain's staff officer tried to stop him, but in the end he didn't dare to speak.

Xue Xiangdong comfortably swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and said, "Less than a year after the army, three first-class merits, have you seen it?" ”

"What? How can it be! The driver exclaimed.

"There is also a second-class merit and two third-class merits, damn it, Lao Tzu has not had this achievement in flying for half his life." Xue Xiangdong spat out.

"Then, then, why are you here for our group?" The driver said subconsciously.

Xue Xiangdong narrowed his eyes, "Xiao Chenzi, what do you mean, is my cave group very poor?" ”

"No, no, although our regiment's equipment is a little backward, its fighting style is extremely tenacious, and the training is quite solid." The driver hurriedly remedied.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the 101st Regiment is the undisputed first-line third-rate unit of the Air Force Aviation - stationed in the first line and equipped with third-rate troops.

"Send such a top man to explain what, show that the superiors attach importance to us! Any idea what that means? The superiors began to pay attention, and the replacement of shotguns is just around the corner! What J-10 Su 27 Lao Tzu is not uncommon, if you want to go directly to the latest J-11 J-16. Xue Xiangdong waved his hand vigorously and said, the cigarette ash fell on the center console, he directly blew it away, and then wiped it with his sleeve.

Xue Xiangdong said longingly, "I've thought about it, and the appointment will be announced as soon as the person is taken back, first as a deputy captain, and then let him go to Chang'an to study, and then come back to straighten up, and he will be the deputy regiment in less than three years." The superiors attach so much importance to our regiment and send such a talent, our regiment can't help but express it. ”

In a few words, the personnel arrangements in the regiment were decided, and it was in front of the soldiers in the car, which was unbelievable. However, the captain's staff officer and driver in the back row have long been accustomed to it.

Along the way, Xue Xiangdong was looking forward to the future of the 101st Regiment on the left and right, which was obviously bright and hopeful.

How would he feel if he knew that the adults in his eyes were being degraded?

"Give the throttle!" Xue Xiangdong looked at the seagull waterproof mechanical watch that had been spent on the mirror, it was already thirteen:30 in the afternoon, "The flight was not delayed, it should have landed at fourteen and fifteen, and it should have arrived at the airport within half an hour." ”

"Don't worry, the head of the regiment, you can definitely arrive." The driver is full of confidence, how many times he has run this road, how to walk the shortest time, like a mirror in his heart.

On the asphalt road on the outskirts of the city, the speed of the car suddenly increased. The driver turned on the police lights of the grid, and it was also very eye-catching in the daytime, and from time to time the special sonic horn for the police was sounded, and the local vehicles were constantly overtaken.

The phone rings.

Xue Xiangdong took it out and put it close to his ear, it was a Nokia 1030 brick, "Division commander, I'm Xue Xiangdong, yes, I'm on the way, I'm sure I won't lose face before the flight lands hahaha, what?" Oh good, okay, I got it. ”

"Go to the military station guest house." Xue Xiangdong said thoughtfully.

The driver thought he had misheard, "Where are you going?" Isn't it an airport? ”

"Soldier Station Guest House." Xue Xiangdong pondered and said, "The official plane that people took landed an hour ago, and now they are waiting in the guest house of the military station, and the division commander and their division political commissar are there. ”

The captain's staff officer in the back seat took a sharp breath, and the driver was even more surprised that he didn't stabilize the steering wheel, and the car swayed slightly.

"Business jets, ......"

"It's so fierce!"

The captain's staff officer finally couldn't help but interject, "Regiment commander, it seems that the superiors don't pay much attention to our regiment." ”

"You know what!" Xue Xiangdong glared at the captain's staff officer in the rearview mirror of the car, and the latter shrunk his neck in fright, "It's a good thing to pay attention to it, but it's abnormal to pay attention to it, it's impossible to say whether it's good or bad." A small pilot is worth such a high standard? Our division commander has never taken a few business jets. ”

The captain's staff officer was very aggrieved in his heart, the driver could say anything, didn't I just slap the horse's ass along the pole, as for slapping the horse's feet all at once?

Xue Xiangdong said to himself, "I'm afraid this matter is not simple, but what is the ins and outs of it?" The new ace of the second division was transferred to us, a third-line fighter pilot...... Did you make a mistake? If you make a mistake, you can't give it away at such a high level. ”

After all, he had no clue, he had always looked very open, so he simply leaned back comfortably, and said with a smile, "No matter so much, all in all, it is a veritable talent, and it is only good for our group." ”

The pilot smiled, "That's right, as long as the plane can be smoothed, it doesn't matter if he is the king of heaven." ”

"Your comrade's speech is just not good, you remember, be polite to Lao Tzu, you must let people feel the enthusiasm of our western tattered king." Xue Xiangdong said with a straight face, not without self-deprecation.

The driver said, "I know, Commander, you can rest assured." ”

The captain's staff officer was even more aggrieved in his heart, wasn't the driver's words even more excessive, why didn't he bite him, why did he bite the cadres, is it because the cadres have higher salaries than non-commissioned officers? Is it because cadres are cadres?

Who doesn't know that the soldiers of the 101st regiment are happy, because there is a regiment commander who prefers big-headed soldiers.

When Xue Xiangdong hurried to the guest house of the military station, Air Force Senior Colonel Chen Hualin, commander of the 73rd Air Division, was talking with Fang Chenghe in the small reception room. Half public and half private, besides, the two have had several encounters in southern Xinjiang, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

"Lao Fang, your second division is a trump card, dislike this and dislike that, my seventy-third division doesn't dislike it, do you still have soldiers who are willing to come over, I will accept all the orders." Chen Hualin took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile.

Fang Chenghe smiled helplessly and said, "Senior Chen, you allow me to finish speaking, I haven't opened my mouth yet, you blocked the road, how can you talk about it." ”

"There's nothing to talk about. Isn't Comrade Li Zhan's way of giving love not quite right, I don't care if your second division cares, and Xue Xiangdong doesn't care even more. Therefore, if you put a hundred hearts into it, my 73rd Division will definitely treat Comrade Li Zhan as a brother who is closer than his own. Chen Hualin said with a smile.

Fang Chenghe smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid of this." Master Chen, to tell you the truth, before I came, our division commander asked me to ask you to help me with this. The person was first placed in the 73rd Division, experienced and trained, and sharpened the edges and corners, as short as one year or as long as two years, and he still had to go back to the Second Division. ”

"Are you kidding me?" Chen Hualin narrowed his eyes, lit another cigarette, threw out the match and threw it into the ashtray, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "Personnel files, organizational relations, you have to transfer them all to me, otherwise you will bring people back." ”

Fang Chenghe was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Chen Hualin to be so faceless.

After thinking about it, Fang Chenghe said, "Senior Chen, please help, we also have a hard time." ”

"This matter is not discussed, if people want to be transferred, the formalities have to be passed. If you Second Division want anything, even if you engage in confrontation training, my 73rd Division is not qualified to be your opponent. Political Commissar Fang, I'll say the ugly things here, if you agree, people stay, if you don't agree, I'll send you to the airport. Chen Hualin said.

Fang Chenghe also came to his senses, and secretly scolded himself and the second teacher, the self-confidence of Lao Tzu in the world is troublesome, and he has been in the special care and care environment of his superiors for a long time, and over time he thinks that everyone in the world has to let himself, so he has an arrogant mentality.

Many people privately made fun of the 73rd Division, saying that she was the rag king of the west. Why? Throughout the history of the 73rd Division, the unit has never been equipped with new equipment. The fighters used by the division were all second-hand goods that had been eliminated by brother units.

Why did Qi Hong choose to transfer Li Zhan to the 73rd Division instead of other units?

Because the J-7II fighters eliminated by the Second Division many years ago were taken over by the 73rd Division. According to this regulation, if the 73rd Division wants to modify the new model, it can only follow the butt of the 2nd Division to "pick up old clothes to wear".

Hence the name of the King of Tatters.

Therefore, Qi Hong thought that Chen Hualin would not fail to help, because if the 73rd Division wanted to "wear new clothes", it was necessary to accompany the 2nd Division with a smile.
