Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Storm
"Chief, a soldier has not returned from his outing, I am afraid there will be an accident. "After receiving the report from the regimental military affairs unit, I immediately reported the situation to the head www.biquge.info of the squatting division.
"Please do your best to find out." As he spoke, the chief picked up the phone and asked the switchboard to dial the head of the regiment.
"Hello chief, I'm Head Zhang." The call went through.
"Please ask your regiment to immediately investigate the cause of the matter, sort out and report the situation, and ask the divisional military affairs department to assist." The chief gave the order.
As for matters involving the vital interests of the soldiers, the chief did not dare to delay for a minute, nor could he delay them.
The chief had studied abroad and had just taken up a post in the division from a higher-level organ, and he had not had time to understand the situation of the whole division when he encountered such a thorny incident. The preliminary preparations for the division's political work network were preliminarily completed, and after it was put into trial operation, I was also arranged by the division to accompany the chief to the grassroots level, which happened to be the regiment where I was a recruit.
Teams vary a lot. The original fish ponds on both sides of the regimental gate are gone, and they are the places where we dug the pond mud and engaged in sideline battles, and now they have been transformed into armored garages, and the two rows of armored vehicles one or two hundred meters long look very spectacular. The regimental armament department building also stood majestically in the depot, and the huge slogan "No technology, no armored troops" was impressively visible. At the end of the road is a tall and upright propaganda wall, and the heroic words of "vibrating the iron armor and forging the strong army of the army" show the unique style of the army. Turn right on the road, go straight to the regimental office building, and on the right side of the road is the old battalion, but the sideline site of the year no longer exists, and now it is the basic training ground of the company. With the development of the economy and society, the food level of officers and men is constantly improving, the demand for self-sufficiency is no longer mentioned, and the area of the original sideline land is constantly shrinking, and these limited sites have been renovated.
"Officer Guo, welcome to my camp." According to the division of labor, I squatted in the second battalion, and I was greeted by my old company commander, who has now been promoted to battalion instructor.
"Hello old company commander, I will continue to be a soldier with you." Seeing the old company commander, I hurriedly stood upright, saluted a standard military salute, and ran forward to shake his hand.
"You live in the fifth company, the company commander Wang Aiguo usually likes to write, you can communicate more." The old company commander was very attentive and thoughtful about the problem.
"It's okay, if there is anything wrong in my work in the next step, you can take care of it more, old company commander."
"Ah, you're polite, now it's you who guide me." After the old company commander said this, he smiled at me.
After the greetings, a soldier helped me carry my luggage to the fifth company.
"Officer Guo, I am Staff Officer Zhang of the Military Affairs Unit of the regiment, is the chief here, there is an emergency report. "I could see that he was very nervous, he ran over, hurriedly communicated with me before he could stand firm, and immediately handed me the folder he was holding.
"The chief is here, I just came here with the chief, I'll report to you." As soon as I read the content, my head buzzed, the situation was urgent, and I didn't dare to slack off.
After reporting to the Chief, the Chiefs requested the Working Group to convene an emergency meeting to clarify the relevant matters.
"Today's incident happened suddenly, and the working group wants to assist the regiment in seriously handling this matter. Section Chief Liu was responsible for summarizing the situation and communicating with the top and bottom, and Officer Guo was responsible for going to the company to inquire about and investigate the soldier's family situation and daily performance. "The chief's work is well organized. According to the chief's instructions, everyone was busy with the division of labor.
"After investigation, there have been major changes in the soldier's family, his father has just died, and before going out, he asked the squad leader for leave, saying that he would go to the third battalion to find his fellow villagers, but he has not returned to the company so far. The company also just learned what was happening at the soldier's home. Section Chief Liu reported the basic situation of the investigation at the meeting.
"The railway station, bus station, and wharf have all arranged forces to search for him, and no trace of the fighter has been found so far." Staff Officer Wang reported.
"It's been five hours since he left the company, where can he go? Did his fellow villagers know about it? The chief asked.
"I understand, he has no fellow villagers in the third battalion at all." Counselor Wang replied.
"Go back to the company and continue to understand the situation." The chief's eyes looked at me as he said this, and I immediately replied, "Yes." ”
When I got to know each other again, the company commander told me a detail. Three days earlier, the fighter had asked him for a vacation, but it was not granted because the new fighter did not have a holiday. The company commander didn't think much about it, but felt that the new soldier should not make such an unreasonable request after just enlisting for half a year.
A family change? Can't take time off? Can't think of it? Where can I go? The straightening of this series of question marks can only indicate the crux of the problem, but it is not known where the person is.
Everyone is still searching, and the problems existing in the company are constantly exposed: the cadres of the company do not know the soldiers deeply, they are stiff and arbitrary in handling problems, individual soldiers do not trust the organization enough, and the work of the double "four ones" is not solid (four reports, one to rely on, four to know, and one to follow)......
Taking this incident as a breakthrough point, the chief asked the regimental organs to draw up a plan and assist the working group in conducting a study and study in the camp, so as to fully understand what the grassroots fighters are thinking, hoping for, and thinking, and also to understand what the organs have hopes and ideas for the construction of the grassroots units.
"Chief, the warrior is back. Already back to the company. Head Zhang immediately told the chief the news.
"How did you get back?" The chief asked.
"He stayed in a small ditch next to the training ground, stayed for eight hours, was really hungry, and came back." The regimental commander replied.
"We want to thank this fighter for making the right choice at the right time. We must pay attention to flexibility in the implementation of some regulations, especially in handling some issues involving the vital interests of soldiers, and we must not patronize the implementation of rules and regulations and let soldiers carry heavy ideological baggage. The chief told the regiment commander what he was thinking. The regiment commander also hung up the phone thoughtfully, turned around and returned to the battalion, where he wanted to deal with the follow-up matters properly.
After the incident, company commander Wang Aiguo, combined with his own experience in leading troops, wrote a news reflection on the incident and published it in the newspaper of the military region, and the officers and men of the team also learned lessons from it and gathered positive forces.
