Chapter 139 Minesweeper (7) Newly established troops
It stands to reason that the families of the military have to follow the soldiers, and wherever the husbands of the soldiers go, their homes will be moved, and Guo Kaiqing was in a hurry to go on this trip, so he left his wife and children and left first.
Back to the military compound of a certain army, a huge 'general lock' blocked Guo Kaiqing, who was in a hurry, from front to back, he didn't go long, but this is obviously no one to live, and the cobwebs in front of his house are already one by one.
'Yo, isn't this Brother Kaiqing, I haven't been promoted for a few days! The middle-aged woman living in the same courtyard saw Guo Kaiqing walking around from her window, and she inevitably came out to squeak.
'It's me, sister-in-law, what about the two of them, I see that everything in this house has been emptied, where have they gone?' Guo Kaiqing was very anxious, and after arriving at the 'Southwest Provincial Military Region', due to his busy work, he never called Chen Shuqin's unit, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the hospital, his 'home' was gone.
'The day after you left, the two of them moved away, and our Xiaofang said, your Xiaoqing has also transferred to a new school, I see if you go to your daughter-in-law's unit first and ask! ’
'Okay, look at me in such a hurry, sister-in-law, thank you, this thing belongs to you! I wanted to buy some souvenirs from the southwest and go home, as if my wife and children were happy, but it seemed that there was no need now, in order to travel lightly, Guo Kaiqing gave things to the neighbors in the same hospital.
When the colleagues of the city's 'National Security Bureau' heard that they were looking for Chen Shuqin, their heads shook like a rattle, and they all said that they didn't know, and finally found a supervisor and leader, and this person was also squeaky. I can't say why.
It's not that I don't tell you, I really don't know much about this, it seems that it was a temporary order issued by the headquarters in Beijing, and Comrade Chen will no longer work with us. ’
The national security department has always been a department that is obsessed, and Guo Kaiqing has also seen his wife's 'confidentiality code', as long as he receives an order from his superiors to carry out a task, even if he is the closest person, he cannot sue him. But Guo Kaiqing is not worried about his wife. He was mainly worried about his son, Guo Xiaoqing was in school, and his academic performance was average, so he changed schools. Whether he can adapt or not is another matter.
The national security leaders saw that Guo Kaiqing was leaving. And he called him down. Are you worried about your children? ’
"Yes, this old lady didn't squeak beforehand," Guo Kaiqing wanted to scold a little.
Then you might as well call her dad's house. Usually she opens her mouth and closes her mouth, it is her father. ’
Guo Kaiqing thought about it, so he called the outside line of the Guò National Security Bureau and called Elder Chen's home.
"It's Kaiqing, the child is here with me, he goes to school in the township, I pick him up every day and send him to him, you can rest assured," Guo's mother lives alone, Chen Shuqin naturally will not hand over her son to City A, and now Chen's father is with his son, everyone can rest assured.
"Yes, Dad, then let you bother, I don't have anything to do, I just called and asked," In order not to make the old man suspicious, Guo Kaiqing hung up the phone hastily.
I thought it was a 'return to my hometown', but things were really not as beautiful as I imagined, and after getting into the jeep, Guo Kaiqing took off the rank of 'lieutenant colonel' on his shoulder.
'Captain, what are you doing with that thing?' The old volunteer who drove the car was puzzled.
After changing to the 'major', Guo Kaiqing smiled bitterly, "It's not yours, so why force it, the gloss is not for others to see, it's just a matter of seeing it yourself, let's drive and go to a certain military headquarters." ’
With a prior phone call from the political commissar of the 'Southwest Provincial Military Region,' the head of the military department of a certain army was very polite to Guo Kaiqing, and not only did the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders receive him, but the No. 5 leader personally took Guo Kaiqing to the 'engineer regiment' under the army.
"Kaiqing, you are back to our mother's house, rest assured, the people in our army, you can choose, I know, a while ago, in order to find a job, you had a very unpleasant quarrel with the people in the cadre department, let me tell you the truth, as soon as you left, the army held a criticism meeting, and made a big discussion about the behavior of the cadre director, and gave him a punishment! 'In the same car with Guo Kaiqing, the No. 5 leader of a certain army seemed to be very sympathetic to Guo Kaiqing's experience.
'I'm gone, no matter how difficult it is for the cadres, it's not suitable for it, it's the same everywhere, as long as it's revolutionary work, I will do it well, I was a soldier in our army, it was our army's little rice that taught me to grow up, no matter where I go, this is my maiden home, I don't hate anyone,' Guo Kaiqing is a native of a certain army, he left most of his youth under this military flag, although during this period, he also suffered a lot of unfair treatment, but still thinks that this is the fertile soil for him to grow up.
"Just have what you say, I'll go back and tell No. 1 and No. 2, by the way, Kaiqing, do you have a godfather-in-law, who used to be in front of you?" The No. 5 commander of a certain army seems to know Guo Kaiqing's history very well.
Guo Kaiqing's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly said, "There is such a thing, that is my daughter-in-law's godfather, what's the matter, do you have something to say to me?" ’
The fifth commander of a certain army sighed, "Alas, let me tell you, you can't tell others, your father-in-law made a mistake, although he retained his military position and treatment, but he retired early, if you have time, it is best to go and see him." ’
'Okay, I'll definitely go when I'm free,' Guo Kaiqing listened to half of the sentence, but he knew that a 'former commander' No. 7 chief, at the level of a deputy military region, had made a mistake, and it must not be a trivial matter, and an officer of his level could not discuss it.
The regimental commanders of a certain military engineering regiment were also very supportive of following Guo Kaiqing to demine clearance, and first held a mobilization meeting of the cadres of the whole regiment, and Guo Kaiqing was also among the participants; he listened to the educational speech of the political commissar of the regiment, and within a few days, he visited many young officers who had submitted 'letters of recommendation' to him, selected them from among them, and finally singled out a group of experts, and took them back to the 'Southwest Provincial Military Region'. ’
Looking at a large number of people, they came over, and Major Wang ran up to meet him, he hugged Guo Kaiqing and said, "It seems that our business is done!" ’
"It's done, it's done, comrade political commissar of my brigade, it's up to you now, tell everyone about it," Guo Kaiqing knew that his teaching level was not as good as Major Wang's. This is to stabilize people's hearts, but it is within his duty to be a political commissar.
'Okay, I'll tell you another good news, the head of our mine-clearing brigade has also approved the barracks. ’
'Where?' ’
"It's not far from here, a border county, maybe you've been there before, come, lead the big guy to the canteen, the head of the agency is waiting for us to eat." Major Wang sold it. After that, he led these backbones into the canteen of the provincial military district.
In a border county, a place that Guo Kaiqing is very familiar with, he never expected it. Years later. Will come here again. A newly vacated compound was originally used as a strategic reserve for the logistics department of the provincial military district, which is equivalent to more than half the compound of a regular urban defense regiment. The spacious playground track was full of war materials issued by superiors.
Soldiers, this is the main body of the troops, just the day after all the cadres were in place, the recruits selected by Major Wang according to Guo Kaiqing's intentions also came, these soldiers are recruits who have been in the army for about half a year, and they didn't get the news of where to go in advance, but they came in an open-top truck in a daze without knowing it.
Under the brigade, there are three squadrons, below each squadron, there are three district teams, the district team is equivalent to the platoon level structure, and the squadron corresponds to the company level, in addition, the brigade also has an 'engineering unit', a 'quartermaster data unit', a 'health team' and a 'financial office', and the 'engineering unit' is composed of engineers seconded from the engineering academy, who are the core members of the brigade and are responsible for teaching and training cadres and soldiers how to operate the corresponding professional equipment. The 'Quartermaster Information Unit' is a 'miniature version' of the Logistics Department, and it plays the role of the original Logistics Department, because the 'Mine Clearance Brigade' is only a unit at the deputy regimental level, and can only set up "units," not "offices," and the 'health team' is composed of several military doctors plus more than a dozen health workers brought by them, and mine clearance is an extremely dangerous job; they are 'temporary field hospitals,' and 'finance offices,' which are assigned by the provincial military district organs to be in charge of finance, and they are under the command of both sides, so as long as they talk about money, they naturally have to be more nervous.
Although most of the officers from the Engineer Corps are college students who have graduated from the Engineer Academy, they can really be used in actual combat, and these people have to learn again like the soldiers, as the two chief officers of the 'Minesweeping Brigade', Guo Kaiqing and Major Wang are the same, they sit at the front of the class.
The members of the 'Engineering Unit', ranging from colonels to captains, sat down on the front line of the main podium, and the theory of knowledge class began.
'Who can sue me, what is this?' A lieutenant colonel engineer first took out a 'leprosy melon' from the iron toolbox and said.
'I know, it's a landmine!' A new warrior didn't wait for him to answer, he stood up.
'Very good, our comrades privates, they all know that this is called a landmine, I think the others, I don't need to say it! ’
'Hahaha~~~,' there was laughter in the small auditorium.
After that, the lieutenant colonel engineer took out the objects in the toolbox one by one, from the size of a small grinding disc to the size of a pin, and placed them on the podium that was spliced into a line.
'Can anyone point out the types and types of these mines?' The lieutenant colonel turned his gaze to the officers sitting below.
'I'm coming,' a second lieutenant stepped up to the stage.
'Okay, then you can talk about it. ’
I saw the second lieutenant pick up the small grinding disc-sized one, "This is an anti-tank mine." ’
'These are anti-infantry mines. ’
There are jumping mines, trip mines, and hanging mines, and these two are connected together as trick mines, this is a water mine, this is a timing mine, this is a secondary firing mine, and these seem to be anti-infantry mines. The second lieutenant seemed to know a lot, and he knew most of the mines.
'Very well, Comrade Ensign, you can sit back in your place, then let's see, what is this?' The lieutenant colonel had a lot of items in his toolbox, and he took out a few more things besides a large pile of 'mines'.
'Report, I know, it's a trigger,' another officer stood up.
'Very good, then I will talk about how to use the storm guide rope to open up a safe area~~~. ’
For demining, Guo Kaiqing is very familiar with it, from when he was a soldier, he has already learned, when he was a squad leader, he was even more interested in the 'trench step mine', in the minds of the defenders at that time, this 'mine' is the 'fairy', anti-infantry mines, but also a good helper for defense, but at that time, everyone would never have thought that the mines buried back then, now have to be cleaned out of the soil, the forest, and the water one by one, Guo Kaiqing's desk, a large stack of books, all from' He is the highest commander here, if he doesn't do it, the people below him will not be convinced, so he wants to use twice the time of others to study this knowledge more, so that the theory can be applied to practice, and he can be a good "soil expert." ’
In this large-scale mine-sweeping operation at the end of the 80s of the last century, they were not the only ones in the 'mine-sweeping brigade' like Guo Kaiqing, and most of the commanding officers of these units were veterans who had just stepped down from the battlefield, laid down their deadly weapons, picked up a 'metal bathing device,' and drove a 'mine-sweeping vehicle,' Minesweeper tank', all day long doing more dangerous work than before, he never regretted it, in the hearts of modern soldiers, they are dangerous, but through their own danger, in exchange for the safety of the people, this is worth it, this work, has continued until the mid-to-late nineties of the last century.
