The osmanthus is fragrant, the cedar yellow and maple are red, and the footsteps of early autumn are quietly coming.

The Phoenix Mountain Training Base, which is located in the middle of the reckless mountains, needs to be covered with quilts at night, and the radius of hundreds of miles is the primeval forest and hillside green space that has grown naturally for hundreds of years, as well as the murmuring spring water that can be seen everywhere, which generously provides the whole base with fresh air containing the fragrance of grass and wild flowers all year round, and also makes the temperature of the entire base two to three degrees lower than outside.

Wu Ming, who had trained two regiments for the Quzhou Military Station, was finally able to stop and take a good breath, and the four recruit battalions recruited by the Second Brigade in a low-key manner successfully completed the half-year training, and quietly drove from the Changshan Military Camp and the barracks of the Fifth Regiment stationed in Kaihua to Fenghuang Mountain to carry out intensive training for all branches of the troops

After three months of hard work, the rotation training of officers at and above the company level of the Second Brigade, presided over by Wu Ming, was successfully completed, and the tactical quality was greatly improved. Li Kun, the president of the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce, led a group of more and more shrewd brothers to establish contact with the Quzhou Military Station through Wu Ming's relationship, and the grenades and mortar shells produced by the Maoliangwu Arsenal under the banner of the Security Force Repair Institute, the military tents produced by Fang Zhichun's clothing factory, and the steel helmets, pickaxes, and sapper shovels produced by the Quzhou Metal Products Factory have all become military materials purchased by the Quzhou Military Station for a long time. He also made a lot of money in the large-scale expansion project of Quzhou Military Station, and he was full of eyebrows and smiles.

Entering the picturesque Maoliangwu and Phoenix Mountain, Wu Ming's mood is particularly comfortable, there is his spiritual sustenance, there are his relatives and brothers, and now there is a beautiful Taoist Ziyun Temple presided over by the Taoist of Chengzong, and what makes Wu Ming worry day and night is that he has a beloved wife and his own flesh and blood.

Located behind the affiliated hospital on the east side of the village, there is a quiet courtyard surrounded by peaches, plums and green bamboos, a small courtyard built on the mountain, hidden behind the towering trees on the bank of the small river, quiet and hidden.

Under the big camphor tree in the west of the courtyard, there is an exquisite grass pavilion, Wang Yuehan is extremely happy with her three-month-old son in her arms, and on her pretty face with a ruddy luster in her white skin, the shyness of a young girl quietly recedes, and the unique gentleness and maturity of her mother's surname gradually appears.

"Don't pinch his face, he'll drool." Wang Yuehan glared at her husband resentfully, which made Sister-in-law Lu on the side very happy.

Wu Ming withdrew his hand and smiled: "This guy is quite strong, can eat and sleep, like a little pig." ”

"You're only a little pig, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and you're still the leader of a brigade, so I really don't know anything." Wang Yuehan complained angrily.

Sister-in-law Lu said with a smile: "The child was born on the sixth day of the sixth month of the new calendar, and the lunar calendar happens to be a mango seed, and it will be a hundred days in ten days, so you have to give the child a big name."

Wu Ming scratched his head, feeling that it was very difficult, originally after the child was born, he wanted to confess to his legal wife Fang Zhichun and the two elders in the family, but it happened that Fang Zhichun found out that he was pregnant, and the family was so happy that he couldn't find the north, Fang Zhichun, who was already twenty-five years old and wanted to have a child, wanted to go crazy quickly, and was immersed in endless joy all day long, where did Wu Ming dare to stimulate her at this time? So I could only continue to hide it.

"What do you think? Hurry up and choose a name for the child, if you haven't thought about it, Yu Crisp asked Principal Li to help choose a name, she has a high culture, and the children born in the village in the past two years are all names given by her and the two old gentlemen. The straightforward sister-in-law Lu saw Wu Ming stunned and didn't move, thinking that he hadn't read many books and was embarrassed, so she immediately said a lot.

"Ah...... Principal Lee? She also knows the truth? "Wu Ming is a bit of a thief.

Sister-in-law Lu smiled and said, "Principal Li is also from here, how can he not know the way?" Before the child was born, Mingquan had a big belly and taught with her, she took care of it very much, taught Mingquan a lot of things as a woman, after the child was born, she came to visit two times in three days, and told me what to cook for Mingquan to eat enough milk, and after the child opened her eyes, she said that she looked like you, and she couldn't hide it if she wanted to. ”

Wu Ming hurriedly asked, "Haven't there been any rumors about this?" ”

Sister-in-law Lu smiled: "Look at the scared you, don't worry, no one knows that everyone believes the nonsense you made up, and they all think that the child's father is a lieutenant colonel officer in the army, and a hero sent by the country to Japan to carry out secret missions...... When the whole village talked about this, they were all full of praise, and none of them doubted it, so that my eldest brother often sighed, saying that Wu Ming, this kid is free to talk nonsense, and people believe it, and he says so much every day, it is not as effective as a lie from you. ”

Wu Ming couldn't help but laugh, Wang Yuehan couldn't stop laughing, and under the urging of Sister-in-law Lu, Wu Ming resolutely made a decision:

"In this way, let the child's surname be Wang, I have always felt very sorry for his mother and son, plus Mingquan is an only daughter, although there are many brothers and sisters in the clan, but her parents are such a precious daughter as her, it is more appropriate for the child to follow the mother's surname...... I also have my mother's surname Wu, it's not a big deal, there will be children in the future, and the next son or daughter will be surnamed Wu. ”

Wang Yuehan was excited, looking at Wu Ming blankly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Sister-in-law Lu was very surprised and moved, in this era of deep-rooted traditional concepts, it is not impossible for a man like Wu Ming to be generous and open-minded, but it is extremely rare, for women, being able to marry such a man is tantamount to a blessing from eight lifetimes.

Wu Ming didn't want the two women to be too obsessed with concepts, so he pondered for a moment and said loudly: "I think it's called Zemin, I hope that when the child grows up, he will have the country and the nation in his heart and can do something beneficial to the people." As for the nickname, it is called Xiaoyu, because from the day of mangplanting, Jiangnan has entered the rainy season, and the crops in the fields and seedlings need to be moistened by rain. ”

Zemin ...... Wang Zemin, the meaning is profound, the nickname is also good, very poetic" Wang Yuehan was very happy, and repeatedly recited his son's new name, and the more he read it, the more he liked it.

Sister-in-law Lu also liked this simple and easy-to-remember name, and said goodbye happily, probably going back to tell her husband Lu Zhengde and brother Lu Zhengxian.

Wu Ming stayed in the hidden courtyard for a day and a night, and rode to Phoenix Mountain early the next morning to check the training progress of Tian Zhenggang's machine gun battalion and Lu Kuiyuan's guard battalion.

Two months ago, 500 elite veterans drawn from the whole brigade were merged with the machine gun company directly under the brigade to form the machine gun battalion.

The battalion has two mortar companies, a heavy machine gun company, and an infantry company, and 30 outstanding cadets from the military academy have also graduated ahead of schedule, and they have entered the machine gun battalion with the rank of sergeant as squad leader and deputy squad leader; Tian Zhenggang has been promoted to major battalion commander; Luo Changling, the former commander of the machine gun company, has been promoted to captain and deputy battalion commander, and concurrently has the commander of a company of the machine gun company.

The former direct spy company was upgraded to a guard battalion, of which the first spy company beared the two numbers of the spy company and the guard company, and the second spy company was renamed the second guard company, and the nature, training, and tasks of the two companies remained unchanged.

The provisional guard company stationed in the north camp of Quzhou City was officially reorganized into the third guard company.

Lu Kuiyuan, the former commander of the special service company, was promoted to the commander of the major battalion directly under the guard, and Qian Shengzhi, the former combat staff officer of the brigade headquarters, was promoted to captain and deputy battalion commander. Lei Biao was promoted to the commander of the special service company, and the number of officers and men in the company was 165; Lei Peng, the former leader of the sniper detachment of the special service company, was promoted to captain and company commander of the second guard company, and the three platoons of the company were all snipers, in addition to normal tasks, he was also responsible for the rotation training of outstanding shooters selected by each regiment Fang Shaozheng, the commander of the assault platoon of the Buyuan special service company, was promoted to captain and company commander of the third guard company, and Chen Zuliang, the machine gun platoon commander who rejoined Wu Ming, was promoted to lieutenant and deputy company commander.

Wu Ming had a meeting with the commanders of the two spy companies in the camp at the northern foot of Phoenix Mountain, and when he returned to the training base in Shannan, it was already past 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Wu Ming came to the edge of the court quietly and watched for two minutes, and the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

Wu Ming felt itchy hands, walked to the middle of the edge of the court, sat down next to Zhao Rongsheng, the director of the base behind the referee's table, turned his head to look at the disparity score of 36 to 20, shook his head and deflated his mouth, and was immediately seen by the sharp-eyed Zhao Rongsheng.

"Alas, our first battalion of recruits has lost, or will you go up to the top? If you can win in the second half, how about moving your muscles? Zhao Rongsheng smiled and asked for Wu Ming's opinion.

"No"

Wu Ming waved his hand: "Let the brothers play by themselves, I never bully the weak...... It's all my soldiers, it's not good to help anyone, otherwise someone will have to find something to say when the time comes, saying that I'm not fair"

A few base instructors on the side were so happy to hear it, and Zhao Rongsheng couldn't help but laugh: "You just blow it hard, today's opponent is very powerful, it can be seen that most of them have played basketball before, the basic skills are good, and the physical fitness is also very good, but they don't know how to use skills reasonably, and they don't know how to cooperate, otherwise it would be good for the first battalion of recruits to throw five." ”

"Played basketball before? Which part? ”

Seriously, Wu Ming really didn't take a closer look at the players on both sides who were gathered in a bunch on the sidelines, and there was no printing on the players' vests except for the numbers, so he didn't stay too much

Zhao Rongsheng pouted and pointed to the pile of players on the left: "Well, the special service company of the Second Security Division who came and went, their company commander said that they would rush back to Hangzhou the day after tomorrow to participate in the autumn games held by the Zhejiang Provincial Government, and basketball is one of the important competitions." ”

Wu Ming suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and after seeing the group of players in the Second Security Division clearly, Le Ha waved and shouted loudly: "Chen Zhanhong, come over for a while...... Hey, what's the matter with your face? ”

Chen Zhanhong, the commander of the special service company of the Second Security Division, who ran in front of Wu Ming to salute, put down his hand embarrassedly, glanced at Zhao Bingyi, the base combat instructor with an indifferent expression behind Zhao Rongsheng, and smiled and stopped talking.

Wu Ming turned his head and asked, "Old Zhao, what's going on?" ”

Zhao Bingyi replied lightly: "This guy's toughness is okay, but he doesn't have a long memory, and he didn't understand the same trick to knock him down three times, in order to make him have a longer memory, I gave him this little white face for a while, and he really understood." ”

All the brothers laughed, and Wu Ming couldn't help laughing, and everyone was extremely happy for a while.
