After receiving the report from the regiment, the division headquarters did not say anything and directly reported the report to the division commander and political commissar.

After reading the regimental report, the division commander and political commissar felt that it was a question of determining which company to participate in the competition of the formed company, and that it was not a big problem.

Which company to send is left to the regiment to decide

As a result, the division approved the regimental report and decided that the delegation of the 7th Iron and Steel Company would participate in the military training competition of the formed companies of the group army.

Seeing that the regiment had made a decision, the Seventh Iron and Steel Company, in accordance with the requirements of the military training program, trained more vigorously, and they fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the officers and men, and they wanted to fight for the honor of the Red Army Company, the honor of the Red Army battalion, and the honor of the Red Army

Although the officers and men of the Ninth Company of the Sharpshooters were not assigned to participate in the military training competition of the group army's formed companies, they still carried out military training in strict accordance with high standards and strict requirements and in accordance with the requirements of the military training program.

In accordance with the requirements of the military training syllabus, the military training of the whole regiment began to be training in common subjects.

In accordance with the principle of "big specialty, small concentration; The principle of "small specialization, large concentration" is the principle of concentration of professional training for the theoretical study of common subjects.

The instructors of various subjects conducted military training in a step-by-step manner in accordance with the military training plan drawn up at the beginning of the year.

After about half a month, one day, the battalion received a notice that the head of the military region would come to the 226th Division and specially asked to see the 447th Regiment.

This time, the chief of staff came from the military region, and he had been a company commander in the Ninth Company of Sharpshooters.

On the day when the chief of staff of the military region came to inspect the regiment, Yang Wenbin organized the commanding officers of the whole battalion to conduct training on operational plots in accordance with the training plan.

Operational plots, military topography, communications command, pistol shooting, car driving, and so on are the contents to be assessed by every commanding officer after the end of the annual military training, so this is also one of the key contents of each officer's training.

Although the chief of staff of the military region came to inspect the regiment, the regiment did not disrupt the normal work order, but deployed all battalions and companies to organize and conduct military training in accordance with the regular military training plan, and the training was carried out and organized in strict accordance with the contents.

At half past seven o'clock in the morning, Yang Wenbin issued a notice that except for the cadres on duty who need to lead the soldiers to conduct separate training, the other cadres will gather at eight o'clock in the conference room of the battalion headquarters to conduct combat drawing training.

The operational nuclear map is a kind of training content that marks the deployment situation of troops on a military map.

Yang Wenbin first copied a military map for each cadre participating in the training.

Then, the operating conditions were issued to each officer.

Commanding officers at all levels should mark the combat situation of the enemy and us on the map in accordance with the content of the operating conditions, and form a map of the commander's determination.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, when everyone was concentrating on plotting the map, suddenly the door of the conference room of the battalion headquarters opened, and Regiment Commander Lu, accompanied by a group of generals and officers, led by a major general.

Yang Wenbin was organizing training on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was paying close attention to the situation in the regiment. Because he heard a special explanation from the regiment that the chief of staff of the military region came from the Ninth Company, and it was possible that he would have to go to the Ninth Company to have a look.

He glanced at the name tag of the major general, which clearly read "Hu Jianwei".

So, he immediately shouted, "Stand up!" Then, turning around, he saluted the major general, and after the major general returned the salute, he reported: "Comrade Chief of Staff, the 3rd Battalion of the 447th Regiment of the 226th Division of the 149th Infantry Army is organizing the operation training of officers on the map, please instruct!" Yang Wenbin, commander of the third battalion. ”

"Keep training!" The chief of staff said majestically.

"Yes----" Yang Wenbin replied, and then, turning his head, gave an order: "Continue training." ”

So, the officers sat down neatly and continued their training on the map work.

The chief of staff did not leave, he looked at it with interest, the ongoing operation training on the map, and even, picked up Yang Wenbin, the map in front of him, looked at the operating conditions, compared it with the military situation map marked by Yang Wenbin, and nodded again and again while looking at it.

And turned back to the army commander, division commander and regiment commander and said: "The training of the team is good!" Looking at the officer grouping operation, the annotation map is very standard, and the standard of annotation for ordinary staff officers cannot reach this level. Good, good! ”

"By the way, I heard that you are going to organize a military training competition for the formed companies of the group army, and the representative team of the 447th Regiment is the 9th Company of Sharpshooters, right?" The chief of staff asked the heads of corps, divisions, regiments, and battalions

The army commander, division commander, and regiment commander did not speak, and their inquiring eyes looked at Yang Wenbin.

The eyes of the chief of staff of the military region also shifted from the army commander, division commander, and regiment commander to Yang Wenbin.

Yang Wenbin knew that the leaders at all levels were going to put themselves on the fire to roast them. However, this matter was recommended by the battalion and should be studied and decided by the battalion party committee, and there is nothing that cannot be said.

So, he took a step forward and replied: "Chief, the company participating in the military training of the group army, after comprehensive evaluation by the party committee of our battalion, recommended the seventh steel company. ”

After hearing this, Chief of Staff Hu said "oh", don't you all recommend the Ninth Company of Sharpshooters every year? Why didn't I recommend Nine Links this year, but Seven? “

The army commander, division commander, and regiment commander all smiled, however, no one answered his question, they were all waiting, Yang Wenbin's statement

Therefore, Yang Wenbin continued: "Regarding the matter of recommending military training and competition for the formed companies of the group army, the party committee of our battalion considers it in this way: The Ninth Company of Sharpshooters, as a company named by the Ministry of National Defense, now has a lot of honors, and there are many honors above the military region, and the current situation in the construction of the company is very good, and all work is comprehensively excellent, which is the benchmark of our 447th Regiment and the 226th Division.

However, the 7th Iron Company, as the root of our Red Army, has always been famous for its military training. "Seventy years of fierce battles forged steel, three thousand warriors cast the soul." Therefore, the party committee of our battalion, considering the balance and balance, felt that the seventh company should be given the opportunity to participate in the military training competition, so we studied and decided to recommend the seventh steel company, which was ranked first, and the ninth company of sharpshooters, and we were ranked second. “

After hearing Yang Wenbin's explanation, Chief of Staff Hu of the Military Region pondered for a while and said: "The 447th Regiment is a Red Army regiment, and the 7th Iron and Steel Company is a Red Army company. Moreover, the Seventh Company of Steel is the root of the Red Army, and these things are seen and clear by the chief.

From the perspective of the battalion, the regiment, the division, and the army, you are not wrong to consider the recommended targets for military training competitions and the Seventh Iron and Steel Company.

However, from the point of view of the head of the military district and the headquarters, they saw the list of participants in the competition, and first of all, they had to ask the Ninth Company of sharpshooters, why did they not participate? Such a large-scale military training competition and such a good training opportunity were not seized. Could it be that this model is outdated? Is there something wrong with this company? Can't take a shot if the construction is not good? Or is there a problem with the political sensitivity of the heads of military districts, who are confused on such a major issue of the establishment of a model for the whole army?

Therefore, I personally believe that it is best to participate in the military training competition of the group army, and it is better for a company like the Ninth Company of Sharpshooters to participate. In this way, it will not only be conducive to the development of the company's military training, but also conducive to the continuous propaganda and training of the military region's headquarters to the Ninth Company of sharpshooters, which is a typical example.

What do you guys think? “

Seeing that the chief of staff of the military region clearly supported the Ninth Company of Sharpshooters, and the army commander, as the main leader of military training, he must speak at this time and cannot be silent anymore.

Therefore, the army commander said: "We will resolutely carry out the intention of the head of the military region, build, maintain, and operate this banner of the whole army well, and, under the new historical conditions, establish even more immortal meritorious deeds." “

The division commander and the regiment commander all nodded their heads one after another, indicating the statement of the chief of staff and the army commander of the same military region.
