The basketball hall was renovated from an old warehouse, and the troops' funds were tight, so their training and living were based on the existing equipment and facilities as much as possible, and the combat effectiveness of the old gadgets was dug deep to continue to exert their residual heat.

The old warehouse, built according to the standards of war readiness, is old and strong, the mottled walls have been renovated, and the inside has been renovated according to the modern indoor basketball hall, and two basketball courts have been set up vertically according to local conditions, with spectator seats on all sides, and the lighting system is also first-class.

It took a third of the money to do what was to be done.

At 4:30 p.m., the basketball hall was already full of people. The troops are so restrained, and a password goes down silently. But your password is useless to your family! During the Spring Festival, the Second Division is also a front-line combat-ready duty unit, and the only way to reunite a family is to come to the unit. Therefore, on the basis of the family members accompanying the team, there are more family members visiting relatives, and this is a large group. The little fart children are chasing me on the field, and the parents are intercepting everywhere, and the downtown is not coming out.

Life in the barracks was already boring, and all kinds of cultural and sports competitions were almost a grand event.

So in the end, I found that there were not enough seats!

The soldiers immediately gave up their positions and sat on the floor to watch the battle, and the interest was equally high. Some young officers, petty non-commissioned officers, and conscripts do not have enough eyes. There are many young girls in the family, regardless of whether they are married or not, they will first feast their eyes before talking. If you can't afford pork, you can always enjoy it, but it's a big deal to eat seafood.

All units attach great importance to the Spring Festival Basketball League, tonight is not only the opening ceremony but also the first game, and almost all the leaders at home have arrived, except for those on duty.

It was at this time that Li Zhan met the legendary commander of the Second Division Zhang Sihai for the first time.

Where is it like a leading cadre with the rank of deputy military officer, if he does not wear a military uniform, he is an old man who goes out for a walk after eating a full meal. Some hunchbacked, with a little graying in their short hair, smiling kindly, and their faces resembling old bark. Stepping on camouflage rubber shoes with his hands behind his back, Li Xuejian walked over like an old man. There is no way to connect with the old ace pilot who strikes the sky and terrifies the enemy.

He was followed closely by the other leaders of the division, but he didn't seem to have any intention of taking care of them, or he showed a sense of resistance to hugging before and after, walking by himself, greeting his family members, shaking hands with this one, touching the child's head, and if he gave out red envelopes, it was a generous old man in the countryside for the New Year. He did not forget to look at the new pilots, recruits, and grass-roots officers and men who had joined the army this year, and he was obviously not so enthusiastic about the cadres of the organs.

When he arrived in the middle of the stands, Zhang Sihai stopped and turned to face the leaders of the division headquarters, raised his hand and said a few words, the leaders who were also members of the Standing Committee of the division party committee nodded like recruits and hurriedly went to their own places, and then pointed to Qi Hong, and said a few words to him, Qi Hong nodded again and again, and turned around to convey instructions to the propaganda section chief of the specific organization.

I don't know how big Zhang Sihai is, how awesome the leader is, but in fact, many cadres in the Air Force who are more senior than him are the cadets he has led, and he is really awesome.

It is often said that in front of the doctors, they are all patients, and in front of the teachers, they are all parents of students. In the same way, in front of the instructors of the aviation school, they are all students.

Zhang Sihai's group of people, he is the only one who is still flying.

It's not simpler.

The name Zhang Sihai was thunderous before, but now that he sees a real person, he is a little disappointed, but he is not surprised. Li Zhan suddenly thought that perhaps serving under such a division commander would become a relatively rare experience.

"Nie Jianfeng, people are summoned!"

Yu Chenglin walked over, wearing a Li Ning sportswear, with a sketchpad under his side, and his spirit was much better than a few days ago. He is now in charge of leading the new pilots in the regiment, mainly to teach 7 annihilation. Even if his landline is repaired, I am afraid that he will have to complete the training of a new pilot before he can return to the combat sequence.

It turned out that Yu Chenglin was a coach.

It turns out that the basketball team in the regiment is very professional!

I'm afraid that the basketball teams of each unit are very professional!

Yu Chenglin's state has obviously fully recovered, he has entered the ranks of senior pilots, and has encountered many air dangers in his career for more than ten years, and his self-regulation ability is undoubtedly strong, otherwise he will not still fly.

He sat down on a bench in the lounge area and had his team gather around, their heads huddled together, making sure everyone could see the sketchboard. After looking around, he said, "The starting lineup remains the same, we play the center, and the center forward is our advantage." ”

Everyone subconsciously looked at Niu Yaoyang, who was 1.9 meters tall, and cast a caring gaze. Niu Yaoyang, the ammunition non-commissioned officer of the aircraft maintenance brigade, weighs 200 pounds, a heavyweight, and he runs away when he carries 250 pounds of aerial bombs, and is the number one scorer of the regimental basketball team.

"Dasha, it's up to you." Nie Jianfeng said to Niu Yaoyang with his head held high.

Niu Yaoyang laughed.

He was a veritable heavy bomber of the 4th Regiment, an absolute striking force.

Yu Chenglin said, "The big and small forwards should pay attention to creating gaps, break through, guide the ball more, play steadily in the early stage, Nie Jianfeng, pay attention to the rhythm on the court, and cover the point guard." ”

"Understood!" Nie Jianfeng shook like a fighting about to go on an expedition.

It turns out that the regiment has formulated a two-guard strategy, and if you focus on the center, the driving of the big and small forwards is very crucial. In fact, if there is a scoring guard, such a tactical arrangement is better, but Yu Chenglin's words did not mention the scoring guard, indicating that there should be no one in the group who can play this position. Looking at it this way, Nie Jianfeng is actually a scoring guard, but there must be some gaps in technology, so Yu Chenglin deliberately mentioned it.

Obviously, the basketball team's tactics and related training have been carried out I don't know how many times, don't think about the starters, Li Zhan couldn't help but feel sad, watched the starters on the court, and sat on the bench dejectedly.

Tang Leilei bent over and trotted over and sat down next to Li Zhan, smiled and showed two dimples, which were baby faces, and said, "Are you Li Zhan?" Hello, I'm Tang Leilei, we are a brigade. ”

"Hello." Li Zhan nodded in acknowledgment.

"Do you know, you are the first brother in our current batch of students, Brother Zhan." Tang Leilei said enviously.

Li Zhan was surprised, "What brother?" ”

Tang Leilei counted with his fingers, "The first to fly solo, the first to make meritorious contributions, the first day to participate in the handling of the air situation, the first to prepare for war." Brother Zhan, our group of troops have already regarded you as an object of study, and it is no exaggeration to say that you are our role model. Now that I think about it, it's really amazing, it's like hanging up. ”

Those who know the situation know that as a newcomer, to reach the level of Li Zhan, not to mention that there is no one before, there is almost no one to come.

Tang Leilei's worship is 100% sincere.

"Actually, Brother Zhan, you definitely don't know us well, we are still suffering from haha new training, and we are scolded every day." Tang Leilei sighed and frowned.

This kid is really self-cooked, and his baby face is very relatable.

Li Zhan said with a smile, "How can it be, the old birds of the second division all have actual combat experience, and you can learn a lot from them." ”

It's really helpless to answer the wrong question, and it's always not good to evaluate the instructor in front of strangers.

"Alas, that's what I said, but I was looking forward to getting out of the army at an end, and I had to undergo modification training for a year, and I had to stay up for a year." Tang Leilei said with emotion.

Li Zhan asked curiously, "Are you flying Jianjiao 6 at the training base?" ”

"Yes." Tang Leilei said, "Many of our people have never flown a higher education plane, which is equivalent to starting from scratch." ”

"It does take a lot of hard work." Li Zhan nodded in agreement.

Tang Leilei's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he said, "Brother Zhan, can I ask you for advice at ordinary times?" You have flown a higher education plane, and now you are flying directly to Xiaoqi, you must have a profound experience. ”

"Of course, comrades-in-arms should learn from each other. yes, where do you live, I don't seem to have seen you. ”

Tang Leilei didn't feel inferior, and said with a smile, "We live in a collective dormitory, the same as when we were in college, a four-person room." Brother Zhan, you don't necessarily, you will be a deputy company after graduation, and you will enjoy the treatment of a deputy battalion as soon as you arrive in the army. So you're living in a bachelor apartment. Besides, you were dug from the north by our teacher, so of course the treatment should be better. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhan felt a lot better. I have always thought that the second division does not pay attention to himself, but it is actually reflected in the details. Speaking of this housing treatment alone, many grassroots cadres at the battalion and company level can only enjoy it when their families come to the team. Why should you be given a new comrade to live in, isn't this still important?

As he spoke, the leader over there began to speak. The character of the division commander is the character of the entire division, and the combat style of the military commander is the combat style of the entire unit. The division commander and his old man spoke very simply, wishing everyone a happy Chinese New Year's Eve, announcing the start of the competition, and did not give other leaders a chance to speak. This has won the welcome of the vast number of officers and men. It's a fast-paced sport, and if you talk about it at length, everyone is impatient.

The talent of the troops is mostly reflected in all aspects.

For example, the two referees have a nationally recognized basketball referee certificate, and all of them are national second-level referees or above, and even have national first-class referees. The monotonous and simple living environment of the barracks has enabled the officers and men to have a strong ability to learn and seek knowledge under the organization. And doing things with all your strength is the attitude of a soldier. Naturally, there are many generalists.

In a word, there is nothing that the PLA cannot do.

The female soldiers of the health team and the communications battalion excitedly wore performance uniforms and a handful of basketball babies, and they came to a hot dance very closely following the local trend, which made the officers and soldiers cry wolf, and the atmosphere was instantly ignited. Some of the young soldiers are squandered with hormones, and some are spent with endless energy to chant and cheer.

Li Zhan's mood is a little better - after all, he is a new comrade, and the leader has no opportunity to understand his basketball skills, isn't it normal that he can't start?

He simply adjusted his mentality, hugged his arms and talked sideways with Tang Leilei, and the topic shifted from the new training to the basketball team of the sixth regiment. The consequence of being physically separated from the new pilots of the same period was that it was difficult for Li Zhan to get gossip from the collective, at least until he integrated into the circle of veteran pilots. Therefore, Tang Leilei's various gossip aroused Li Zhan's interest.

For example, the SU-27 of the Sixth Regiment could only fight unguided rockets for a long time, and for example, in the first few years when the Air Force was first equipped, the flankers, who were considered advanced in the world at that time, had no way to integrate into the combat system of the Chinese Air Force - of course, there was no combat system at all.

The most gossip is that there is a deputy head of the sixth regiment who begs a wife who is twelve years younger than him, who is a college student!

Sure enough, gossip is not limited to women's circles.
