Looking at the performance of the military commanders at all levels, the chief of staff of the military region nodded with satisfaction.

Then he said: "I came to the 149th Army this time, and there is a more important matter.

At the invitation of the chief of the general staff of our armed forces, Peter Perth, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of country M, and his entourage will visit China in a month's time.

In order to demonstrate the friendly relations between the two armies, further increase understanding between the two armies, and increase the transparency of the two armies, our army specially invited the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to visit the "1 August" building in Beijing and observe the exercise of a company.

After studying the exercises, the head of the PLA General Headquarters decided to assign the task of observing the company's exercises to our military region. After careful study, the Military Region decided that the 9th Company of Sharpshooters would carry out the demonstration of "Strengthening the Mechanized Infantry Company to Attack the Enemy's Fortified Positions."

The venue for the subject demonstrations will be set at the Bincheng Comprehensive Training Base of the Military Region.

The Military Region demanded that the 149th Group Army be formed from now on, and that the company's tactical training and exercise guidance and dispatch group, consisting of the 152 howitzer artillery battalion of the artillery regiment, the 8 anti-tank missile battalion of the artillery regiment Red Arrow, the 99 main battle tank battalion of the 23rd armored division, and the 20 th Army Aviation Regiment belong to you to participate in the company's offensive and tactical exercises.

In this exercise, the armored infantry part was mainly composed of the 9th Company of Sharpshooters, and the subordinate detachments made every effort to provide support according to the needs of tactical subjects.

After the commander of the military region's chief of staff, Hu completed his main mission after deploying the Ninth Company of sharpshooters to participate in the offensive battle of the armored infantry company against the enemy's fortified positions.

However, after all, he is a cadre who came out of the Ninth Company of Sharpshooters, and he has a deep affection for the company.

He said, "Let's go, let's go to the Ninth Company of Sharpshooters and take a look." ”

So, headed by the chief of staff of the military region, accompanied by the army commander, division commander, regiment commander, and battalion commander, a group of men and horses came to the gate of the Ninth Company next to the battalion headquarters.

The Ninth Company was on duty, and when he saw the general and his entourage coming in high spirits, he dressed up, ran to Chief of Staff Hu, raised his hand to salute, and reported in a loud voice: "Comrade Major General, the staff on duty of the 9th Company of the 3rd Infantry Company of the 447th Regiment of the 226th Division of the 149th Group Army are performing their duties, please instruct!" Even the duty officer Sun Hao. ”

"Keep up your duties!" The order was given by the chief of staff of the military region, Hu.

"It's ----", after the company on duty saluted, he returned to the position of the company on duty and stood up.

Chief of Staff Hu walked into the company with great interest, visited the honor of the company, visited the company's formation class, visited the company's canteen, and visited the company's high-tech room.

In the honor room of the company, the company commander and instructor of the ninth sharpshooter company accompanied Chief of Staff Hu and introduced him to the honor of the company and the combat process of each period.

Chief of Staff Hu, listening to the explanation of the company commander's instructor, nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing the demeanor of the company commander and instructor, the chief of staff had more confidence in the fact that the Ninth Sharpshooter Company had done an excellent job in "strengthening the offensive battle of the mechanized armored infantry company against the enemy's fortified positions" given by the military region.

Since it is a separate training stage, the soldiers of each specialty of the company conduct their own training in different venues, and the instructors of each specialty are responsible for carrying out the training in an orderly manner.

Chief of Staff Hu walked to the first floor and pushed open the door of a squad house, where the theory of shooting was being explained.

The instructor, after seeing the chief of staff of the military region coming in, was preparing to organize a report on the whole team.

The chief of staff waved his hand and said, "No need, you continue to train, I'll listen to it." ”

This instructor is a second-class non-commissioned officer. Although the heads of the military districts were watching him from the side, he did not feel nervous at all and continued to explain the principles of shooting and the methods of shooting in an orderly manner, and theoretically expounded the basic principles and basic methods of offensive operations.

Chief of Staff Hu listened for a while and felt that the instructor was teaching in an orderly manner and very seriously. The soldiers also listened very carefully, and they were able to answer any questions in an orderly manner. He was very happy and felt that this kind of training was still very realistic, unlike some units, which made so many shows.

After visiting the Ninth Company of Sharpshooters, Chief of Staff Hu was very satisfied, and he happily left the team with his entourage and returned to the military region.

After seeing off Chief of Staff Hu and his entourage of the Military Region, Army Commander Li Dongsheng organized the training chief, as well as the division commander, regiment commander, and battalion commander to make special arrangements for welcoming the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of State M and his entourage.

At the meeting, Commander Li made overall arrangements for welcoming the visit of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Country M.

The meeting was held in the regimental war room, and the participants were: army commander, chief of the training department, division commander, chief of the training section, regiment commander, chief of the training unit, commander of the third battalion, instructor, commander of the ninth company, and instructor.

Commander Li Dongsheng first spoke: "Comrades, today we are holding a special meeting, mainly on the issue of the Ninth Company of Sharpshooters welcoming Peter Perth, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Country M, and his party to make arrangements for a subject demonstration.

According to the notice of the Military Region, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Country M will visit China in late March.

According to the schedule of visits, visit the offensive combat unit of a company. After the study of the head of the military district, the subject was given to the ninth company of sharpshooters of our army.

The content of the course is to strengthen the offensive combat of mechanized infantry companies against the enemy in fortified positions.

The location is set up at the training ground of the Bincheng Comprehensive Training Base of the Military Region.

The composition of the offensive battle: It was mainly composed of an armored infantry company---- the 9th company of sharpshooters of the 447th Regiment of the 226th Division, and the subordinate detachments included the 152nd Battalion of the Artillery Regiment of the 226th Division, the 8th Red Arrow Anti-tank Missile Battalion, the 99th Tank Battalion of the 23rd Armored Division, and the 9th Helicopter Squadron of the 20th Army Aviation Regiment.

I demanded that the main attack detachment and the subordinate detachment of the 226th Division, mainly the 226th Division, assemble at the Bincheng training base of the military region within two days. The training department quickly formulated a tactical exercise plan and used 20 days to conduct drills and do a solid job in the subjects. Through the drills of subjects, it is necessary to show the demeanor of our army, the training level of our army, the military appearance and style of our army, and the military prestige of our army.

The specific plan will be coordinated and formulated by the Military Training Department, and then submitted to the military region for examination and approval.

Since the subject represents the image of our army, I think that the next military region and headquarters will carry out acceptance.

The 447th Regiment should prepare day and night in the spirit of waiting for no time, and make the subjects perfect. ”

After the army commander finished speaking, the division commander continued: "Comrades, after listening to the army commander's deployment just now, I feel that this task is very arduous and of great significance. The fact that the chief was able to entrust such an arduous task to our division is a sign of the importance attached to our division and the trust placed in our division.

On behalf of the officers and men of the whole division, I would like to express the following position: We must set high standards and strict demands, properly organize this company training offensive subject training, display the demeanor of our 149th Group Army and our 226th Division, and report to the head of the group army, the head of the military region, and the head of the general headquarters with excellent results.

Comrades, is there any determination? ”

The comrades of the 226th Division in the conference room replied loudly: "Yes! ”

"For the 447th regiment, I have confidence!" Commander Li listened to the division commander's statement and said.

Because, he served as the chief of staff of the 447th Regiment and the 226th Division, and then he was promoted to the chief of staff of the army, and later to the commander of the army.

Therefore, for the old unit of the 447th Regiment, he has both confidence and feelings. Every time, on major issues, special attention and unconditional support were always given to the 447th Regiment.

Now, seeing that the 447th Regiment has the opportunity to carry out the task of performing externally, it is also time to test the style and strength of the troops.

So, he looked at the large and small officers wearing rows of gold stars under the stands, and said in a loud voice: "I want to see not only your statement, but also your performance!" ”
