Chapter 109: A salvo of more than 100 million, a real local tyrant army!
Long-range rocket artillery battalion, this kind of unit is very unfamiliar to Chen Ming.
In his previous life, even if he knew about some troops, he wouldn't know much about this type of unit.
The two sat in the back compartment, and the body swayed and drove slowly.
In the huge carriage, there were only two people, Chen Ming and Wang Shuaibing.
Since they didn't know what the new company was about to arrive and what nature it was, the two had nothing to communicate with, and a little free time was spent watching the scenery passing by outside the car.
The journey to the new unit was easy.
About 20 minutes later, the troop carrier slowly came to the gate of the second battalion barracks.
Compared with the cars and people of other units, it is much more deserted.
Due to the establishment of the long-range rocket artillery battalion, the number of personnel is already small, and a battalion has a total of about 170 people.
The first battalion and the second battalion were of the same establishment, and both were equipped with three long-range fire companies, and one company had about 60 men.
Some time ago, the second battalion went to the battlefield for the first time to conduct a battlefield exercise, but the battle failed.
It's normal to see no one here, all of them have been rushed to the training ground to "think", and Zhao Lifei doesn't think it's unusual.
Parking the car at the gate of the camp, he patted the carriage: "Get off the car, get off the bus, and get to the place."
Chen Ming heard the voice, sat up from the carriage, jumped out of the troop carrier, and looked around.
Except for the soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the barracks, there was not even a single person around.
Quietly, a cold wind blew.
Wang Shuaibing shrunk his neck and asked suspiciously: "Squad leader, it's a serious matter for the two of us, right?"
"Even if you don't line up to welcome you, you should have someone to greet you, why isn't there even one of you?"
"Cough" Zhao Lifei coughed embarrassedly, he didn't expect Chen Ming to be assigned here.
As a recruit evaluation, in recent years, the only person in the artillery brigade who has won military merits and performed the best in the assessment field is said to be assigned to the self-propelled rocket artillery battalion or the 155 rocket artillery battalion, which is a veteran unit.
The second battalion of long-range rocket artillery was formed the latest, basically no recruits, and there was no way to ask for it.
Just like the rocket artillery system of the latest PHL series, the members of each squad have to learn, and if they are divided into groups, they will have to play with the big guys weighing fifty or sixty tons in a group of three.
Chen Ming: After all, they are new recruits, and it must be difficult to adapt to this kind of combat unit.
As for Wang Shuaibing. It was a piggyback that arranged him here.
But the words can't be said so clearly, at least not to discourage the enthusiasm of the recruits.
Zhao Lifei waved his hand and said: "What so much nonsense, if you want people to greet you, you must at least make achievements."
"It's a company, it's no better than a recruit company here, you will talk less in the future, learn more, watch more, do more, understand?"
"Let's go, carry the backpack and come with me, go to the battalion headquarters first, the orders assigned by the two of you will change later, and I don't know the specifics."
Zhao Lifei said, took the two of them to the gate, and after showing the relevant documents, the three of them entered the camp together.
Chen Ming followed behind the squad leader, and couldn't help but sigh, fortunately, the squad leader brought them over, if they were replaced by a car company and sent to the place to throw people here, it was estimated that they would have to wait at the gate post today.
When people remember that there are new recruits coming, and then come out to pick up people, wouldn't it be a big mess?
After Chen Ming entered the camp, he looked around, the long-range rocket artillery battalion occupied a much larger area than the recruit company, if the place where he stayed before was only the size of a small high school.
Then this is the scale of the university level, and it is still the kind of first-class university with a very wide area.
The three of them did not go far on the road to the camp when a jeep military vehicle drove from a distance and stopped in front with a "creak".
The door opened, and a lieutenant colonel wearing a training uniform got out of the car, looked at the three of them a little, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhao, is this still troublesome for you to run in person?"
"I'm going to go to the Second Brigade station."
When Zhao Lifei saw the people getting out of the car, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Report to the battalion commander, the two recruits assigned to the second battalion by the second recruit brigade have been brought, please instruct!"
The person who drove over, Chen Ming also knew, and saw it at the assessment site at the time, but he only knew that this was a battalion commander, and he didn't know which unit it was, and he didn't know what it was called.
Seeing the squad leader saluting, Chen Ming and Wang Shuaibing also hurriedly saluted: "Good battalion commander."
"Well, hello guys." The lieutenant colonel smiled and nodded.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Xu Kai, I am the battalion commander of our Yuanhuo Battalion, and from today onwards, I am also the battalion commander of the two of you."
"Let's go, get in the car, since you have come to the second battalion, let's go to the battalion headquarters first."
"Lao Zhao, go back, I'll take the people away."
"Okay."
Zhao Lifei nodded, stood by and watched Chen Ming and Wang Shuaibing get into the second battalion commander's car and leave.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
To say that yesterday, the people in the class were separated, he was still a little uncomfortable and reluctant, but today will not be.
There were a total of ten people in a squad, two of whom were assigned to a battalion with him, and the remaining three were at the brigade headquarters, which was not far away.
Chen Ming's second battalion and the first battalion are next to each other, and they can come over at any time.
He didn't think about the distribution now, but thought about whether Chen Ming and the two of them could survive here.
After all, the current situation of the second battalion of long-range rocket artillery is indeed not optimistic.
On the other side, Chen Ming sat in the car and came all the way to the parking lot of the battalion headquarters, and when the vehicle stopped, Xu Kai greeted: "You have to wait for the meeting before you can go to the first company to report, and now the whole battalion is in the training ground."
"Let's go, since you have joined the Yuanhuo Battalion, you must first understand here, I will take you to the honor room of the battalion headquarters to have a look, and then your company commander will come to pick you up."
Honor Room?
Chen Ming was a little surprised, and wanted to say that the next company would first visit the glorious history of a company, so as to prove that he was a soldier of this company.
That's normal.
But shouldn't a place like the honor room be the kind of hero company, veteran company, or particularly powerful sharp knife company?
It is said that the 2nd Battalion of Long-Range Rocket Artillery has been formed for less than a year, where did this new unit come from the honor room?
Even if you put all the mobile red flags won by internal affairs into it, you can't make up a few honors.
Chen Ming thought suspiciously, but his footsteps did not stop, and he followed the battalion commander into the battalion headquarters building quickly, went up to the third floor, and walked into a room of about fifty square meters around the corner.
Entering the honor room, the inscription of the Second Battalion of Yuanhuo was engraved on the leftmost hand wall, and the content was very simple, only a few words.
"A velvet suit, raising the rising sun of the motherland;"
"With enthusiasm, defend the place where the motherland needs it most."
Don't look at just two sentences, but the feeling is different, the honor room is a place to witness the development of a company and a combat unit.
It is also the place that can best hold up faith and gather combat effectiveness.
On the wall next to the inscription, the historical evolution of the second battalion of Yuanhuo is written, and the things that have been experienced from its formation to the present are recorded on it.
Chen Ming tensed his mind and looked at the past little by little, this will also be his army in the future, if he is a member of the second battalion of Yuanhuo, he doesn't even know the history of his own troops, he can't make people laugh out of his big teeth.
After reading the historical evolution, I continued to look back, but this time what I saw was not an exciting history of honor, but a suicide note, and more than 100 suicide notes were all placed on the wall.
Chen Ming knew that once the troops had exercises, rescues, peacekeeping and other tasks, the soldiers would write suicide notes, so he didn't feel too strange.
But when he got closer and saw the contents of the suicide note, his heart was still shocked.
"If I die, the pension is given to you, if I am disabled, the divorce certificate is given to you, if I come back, give me to you"
"Please tell my father that his son has not disgraced him"
"Mom and Dad, today the troops are going to participate in a large-scale exercise, the exercise is to sharpen combat effectiveness, sharpening combat effectiveness is to better protect the country, protect the people, I have no regrets, although I am confident, but I am not absolutely sure, if I sacrifice, please pay the party dues for me"
Walking over step by step, one after another suicide notes, Chen Ming's chest was as uncomfortable as if a stone had been blocked.
Keep going.
On the back wall hung a group photo of some soldiers, as well as letters from home, a photo of a soldier with his girlfriend, a photo of a soldier and a company commander, and a certificate of honor.
There is also a part of a photo with the new weapon, Chen Ming can't name it, but the shock in his heart is not weak at all.
Xu Kai has been silent since he brought them in, watching them understand a little bit, a little bit of understanding here.
It wasn't until Chen Ming and the others finished reading all the contents of the honor room that Xu Kai spoke, but he didn't mention anything about it.
Rather, it starts with the preparation and equipping of weapons.
Xu Kai first pointed to a photo on the wall and said, "Do you see the chariot behind the background of the photo?"
"That's the launch vehicle of the PHL-03 rocket artillery system, and our battalion has a total of three long-range fire companies, each with four launch vehicles."
"Each launch vehicle has 12 300mm rocket launch tubes, which means that we can shoot 144 rockets in one salvo from the Yuanhuo battalion."
"At present, the price of a 300-millimeter long-range rocket is 700,000, a salvo of a long-range fire company costs 36 million, and a salvo of a long-range fire battalion costs 108 million."
"More than 100 million?"
Chen Ming and Wang Shuaibing were all stunned.
Although they knew that it was a new recruit, the battalion commander deliberately showed confidence to make them shocked and proud of their unit.
But I have to say that the battalion commander's method was indeed successful.
Originally, Chen Ming basically didn't understand the long-range rocket artillery battalion, and he didn't know much, let alone have any feelings.
Whether to go to a long-range rocket artillery battalion or to a box rocket artillery battalion, it makes no difference to him.
But now it was different, and he really began to take a keen interest in this unit to which he was assigned.
However, interest is interest, Chen Ming also sighed in his heart, no wonder when he was evaluated before, Lieutenant Chai said that the artillery brigade was a unit that really burned money.
Even the heavy synthetic brigade, known as the local tyrant brigade, has to stand aside, and I have never seen it before, and I have not thought deeply about this problem.
Now that I think about it, the Second Battalion is only one of the eight main forces of the artillery brigade, and one salvo is more than 100 million.
This is not a local tyrant brigade, who is a local tyrant brigade?
