"It was so dangerous last night, if it weren't for the two soldiers of the Red Ninth Company, I would have been killed by the people of the 'Snow Wolf', and our A regiment would have been reported here, so it would be a big shame." Political Commissar Chai Xiaoming said with some trepidation, and his tone was extremely stern.

"Yes! They were still two recruits, and they were extremely brave last night, and I heard that Jin Jia had just been kicked twice by the special combat team, and later smashed more than ten punches, and his body was bruised and swollen in many places. Niu Zhiyuan, not to mention, has made great contributions to killing the bandits and saving the hostages before, the Shanggong Department of Xixia Province specially sent a letter of thanks to the military region, and the military region specially issued a notice to praise Niu Zhiyuan, and he himself suffered a gunshot wound and was still on the infusion, so he directly pulled out the infusion tube and pounced on the special combat team member of the 'snow wolf', such a good soldier is really rare. The head of the regiment, Wang Huaqiang, said with a look of appreciation and sighing.

"Regiment commander, political commissar, I propose to make meritorious contributions to the Red Nine Company Niu Zhiyuan and Jin Jiagang to commend individuals, encourage the advanced, and also inspire the self-motivation of other comrades." Chief of Staff Xu Chun said in due course.

Under such circumstances, if our regiment A wants to win this battle and stand out among the group army units, in addition to the correct command of our commanders at all levels, there must also be more good soldiers like Niu Zhiyuan and Jin Jiagang who are desperate on the battlefield. I believe that it is necessary to make meritorious contributions in the line of fire in order to achieve the goal of motivating the officers and men of the regiment to go all out to fight this 'battle' well. The head of the regiment, Wang Huaqiang, nodded and said solemnly.

"Niu Zhiyuan has accumulated two merits, and I suggest that Niu Zhiyuan be recorded as a personal second-class merit once, and report to the head of the division for approval. Jin Jiagang recorded his personal third-class merit once, and after the approval of the regimental party committee, he reported to the division organ for the record. Do you have any comments? After the political commissar Chai Xiaoming finished speaking, he looked at the Standing Committee of the Youth League at the scene, but no one raised any objections and passed it unanimously.

In addition to making meritorious contributions to Niu Zhiyuan and Jin Jiagang, the political commissar made a serious criticism of the Tiger reconnaissance company, and the enemy all touched his side and pointed a gun at his head, and the reconnaissance company in charge of the perimeter guard defense did not notice it in the slightest, and a group of secret sentinels were killed silently, without even making a sound.

As soon as the exercise began, the two recruits had already made meritorious contributions, and after the news spread, the officers and men of Regiment A were all enthusiastic and ready to 'kill the enemy' and make meritorious contributions. In addition, because the reconnaissance company was criticized one after another, commanders at all levels were extremely vigilant, and while doing a good job in the normal matters on the way to maneuver, they also made repeated deductions and careful inspections in vigilance, defense, killing the enemy, and trapping, and several times the 'snow wolf' infiltrated was discovered in advance. Although the 'Snow Wolf' successively 'killed' two company-level cadres and three soldiers, it also successfully ambushed and 'killed' one 'Snow Wolf', and the 'Snow Wolf' was never able to break through the outer defense line again, thus threatening the regiment commander and command center.

Niu Zhiyuan and Jin Jiagang did not have the opportunity to participate in all this, because they were put in the ambulance behind, and were guarded by Bai Yixiang, a trainee military doctor who was not in the establishment of Regiment A, and a hygienist and driver.

In fact, according to the intention of the regiment leader, he originally wanted Niu Zhiyuan to go directly back to the regiment to recuperate, but Niu Zhiyuan strongly asked to participate in the exercise, and in the end, the regiment leader respected Niu Zhiyuan's opinion and let him follow, but he could not participate in the long-distance maneuver link.

……

The marching convoy of Regiment A finally arrived safely at the mobile destination, Huangtie Town, the only town near the Huangtietan training base.

All kinds of military trucks, infantry chariots, and towed artillery drove through the town, and the local county traffic police were all dispatched to cooperate with the soldiers of the Red Ninth Company to guide, adjust, and guard at various intersections to ensure that vehicles and personnel anywhere would not be interspersed from the marching convoy.

Some children stood on the side of the road to salute the military vehicles, whether it was in the carriage or in the cab, as long as they saw children saluting them, they smiled and saluted in return, which made the children in the town exclaim excitedly.

But in general, the people of the town are not very curious, because at this time of year, there are not a few troops of all kinds who go to Huangtietan for training and exercises through Huangtie Town, plus many troops have entered Huangtietan this year before Regiment A. In short, the people of Huangtie Town are used to seeing it, in fact, they are looking forward to the arrival of the troops, because tens of thousands of troops eat and drink every day is not a small number, a lot of grain, oil, rice, flour and water, as well as a large number of daily necessities will be directly purchased in the town, which is a great boost to the local economy.

For example, the year before last, the peasants in Lingzhong City, where the town is located, had more than one million catties of watermelons unsalable, and the city leaders directly approached the leaders of the M Group Army to ask for help, and the leaders of the M Group Army gave an order, and the service centers responsible for the procurement of each unit planned more watermelons when they made the procurement plan, and in just one week, one million catties of watermelons were purchased by the M Group Army troops who were conducting field training at Huangtietan.

……

……

The 300-mile-long Huangtietan training base is actually a no-man's land in the Gobi Desert that has been enclosed and specially used for field training and exercises by combat troops.

Army Group M this exercise. It is divided into four phases: long-range maneuver, concealment and camouflage, real attack and defense, and online command confrontation. Now that the long-range maneuver has ended, the moment all the troops enter the Yellow Iron Beach means that they have entered the second stage of the exercise assessment -- concealment and camouflage, and the group army director assessment team has also begun to time.

In accordance with the requirements set by army commander Liu Yuejun himself, all units are given a week to enter concealed camouflage within the demarcated range, and the aviation brigade under the group army is the blue army at this stage, and when the time comes, reconnaissance helicopters will be dispatched to conduct reconnaissance at medium and low altitudes, and as long as one of the important targets such as the command posts, communication hubs, high-power radio stations, and firing positions of various weapons of various units is discovered, it means that the unit has failed to pass the exercise assessment in the concealed camouflage stage.

The ambulance stopped and went all the way, and when resting at night, Bai Yixiang slept alone in the car, Niu Zhiyuan, Jin Jiagang and the driver Huang Ziming set up a small tent and camped, and went to the Huangtietan training base by themselves according to the marching route during the day.

After four or five days on the road, Niu Zhiyuan gradually became familiar with Bai Yixiang, and they also knew more about each other, such as some basic personal information such as age and hometown.
