"Hello Chief of Staff."

When Chen Ming saw the people getting out of the car, he hurriedly straightened his chest and raised his hand to salute.

He thought that standing at the entrance and exit of the brigade headquarters would attract attention, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

The first to be alarmed was Peng Qinglin, chief of staff of the artillery brigade, Chen Ming had seen him in the recruit assessment and had also inquired with Zhao Lifei, so he remembered it very clearly.

Peng Qinglin returned the salute, his eyes swept over the faces of several people, and frowned: "What's the matter with you?"

"The troops have already set off, what are you doing standing here?"

Seeing such a big leader, Wang Shuaibing didn't dare to speak, shrunk behind him and was silent, lowering his head like a small angry bag.

In this case, Chen Ming can only stand up and explain the reason simply and quickly.

After learning about the situation.

Peng Qinglin nodded, this time the combat readiness was not a notice from the military region, but a unified arrangement from the war zone, and even he was a little caught off guard.

A situation like Chen Ming's is understandable.

Peng Qinglin waved his hand: "Go, don't stand here, go to the brigade headquarters office building and wait, I'll arrange someone to send you back to the army."

"Stop running around." When he got into the car, he still looked back and reminded him uneasily.

Watch the vehicle drive away.

The three of them smiled happily and followed Chen Ming's footsteps and ran towards the organ building.

Chen Ming also put away his worries for the time being, as long as the chief of staff said to send them back, the Yuanhuo battalion would soon get the news, not to mention anything else, at least let the battalion company commander and squad leader extinguish the fire first.

It's better to have news than no news.

When the four of them came to the front of the organ building, they were like four javelins on the edge of the intersection, staring at the busy crowd coming and going at the door of the organ building, and they were also surprised by the other party's gaze, curious about what they were doing here.

Every soldier who passed by was like visiting a zoo to see a monkey, and they were quite helpless.

Finally, after waiting for more than ten minutes, a crutche-bound veteran came out of the administrative building, wearing a camouflage uniform and a baby face, and greeted the four of them: "Follow me and go to the parking lot."

"I'll take you to catch up with the departing troops."

"You are all from the Second Battalion of Yuanhuo?" The baby face is full of smiles and has a pair of small tiger teeth

"No, squad leader, he and I are in the second battalion, and the remaining two of them are in the first battalion." Chen Ming pointed to Wang Shuaibing and introduced them.

"Okay, let's get in the car, the departure route of the first battalion and the second battalion are the same, the speed of the artillery truck is not fast, we can be in time."

"My name is Wen Longsheng, you can just call me Awen, I am a communications soldier in the General Staff, I don't need to be called a squad leader."

"Hello squad leader."

Chen Ming and the others shouted in unison, people also drove over to help, how could they really call Awen.

Even a man like Wei Chongchong, who is as straight as steel bar, has learned to have a sweet mouth.

Wen Longsheng listened very helpfully, beckoned everyone to get into the car, and began to show his driving skills, and the military jeep was trampled by him like an angry lion, roaring and rushing out of the brigade headquarters.

All the way to gallop.

Chen Ming looked out the window quietly, at this time the sound of the air defense siren was still pulling, and the situation on the road was simply one in the sky and one in the ground.

It was supposed to be the reason for the lunch break, and there were hardly any people on the road, and there were no vehicles in sight.

Now there is an endless stream of military vehicles, all kinds of artillery trucks roaring and shuttling on the road, the dust on the ground is rolled up by speeding vehicles, and the tension of war is filled in an instant.

Even if you have nothing to do, just standing and watching from a distance can be nerve-wracking.

Not to mention the few people who have been left behind.

During the more than 40-minute drive, Wen Longsheng was also busy, constantly using the on-board communication station to keep in close contact with the correspondents of the Yuanhuo Battalion to ensure that they were always in the right position.

Finally, Chen Ming, who was running all the way, saw the convoy of the Second Battalion of Yuanhuo, a large artillery truck like this is not moving fast, and it can run 60 yards on a flat road.

It would be nice to be able to run 40 yards on a dirt road outside the military area.

Through the car window, Chen Ming saw Xi Minghui, the squad leader of the second class, and Feng Xiaodong, the deputy of the class, standing on the side of the road anxiously tiptoeing and looking back.

Chen Ming stretched out his hand and patted the driver's seat: "Squad Leader Wen, put me down here, I saw the people in the class, just wait in front."

"Oh, okay, then Chen Ming, go down, next time you have time to go to the brigade headquarters to find your comrades, if you can't go back, go to the staff headquarters to find me."

"I'll send you."

Wen Longsheng grinned, slammed the steering wheel with his left hand, broke away from the main road convoy, and stopped the car with a foot of brake accompanied by dust.

"You know me?" Chen Ming was about to open the door, and when he heard the other party call out his name, he was a little surprised, he didn't introduce himself just now.

"Hehe, the chief of staff often mentions you, if it weren't for the second battalion of Yuanhuo, I'm afraid that now the two of us are one unit, and it was originally decided to transfer you to the staff headquarters for training, but later, considering the situation of the second battalion of Yuanhuo, I transferred you away again."

"Besides, the whole artillery brigade, you are the only one who has been in the military newspaper of the war zone this year, and it also occupies half of the page, I don't think I can do it if I don't know it."

Wen Longsheng showed his tiger teeth and smiled.

"Okay, when the war preparations are over, I will definitely go to the brigade headquarters when I have time." Chen Ming said, opened the door and got out of the car with Wang Shuaibing.

As for Wei Chongchong and Dong Ke, they can only wait a little longer.

The first battalion and the second battalion are on different sections of the same road, and we have just learned through the vehicle-mounted communicator that when the two battalions arrived at the combat readiness garrison area, they were defending the rear in the rear.

In the early stage, the same road, and even the route was different in the later stage.

So send people to the place in advance.

Chen Ming got out of the car and waved goodbye to the driver's seat, Wen Longsheng nodded, and stepped on the accelerator again, and the vehicle roared away.

"This trip, it's really, ah~ phew" Wang Shuaibing originally wanted to sigh two sentences, but was poured into his mouth by dust, and hurriedly closed his mouth.

In the distance, Xi Minghui and Feng Xiaodong ran over quickly, looked the two of them up and down, and said with a smile: "Let you rest for half a day, you can still run, and go directly to the brigade headquarters."

"Fortunately, you are clever enough to find the chief of staff, if it is a few hours late, I am afraid that you will have to follow the brigade headquarters to set off one day late."

"It's hard to say whether you can return to the second battalion in time."

"Let's go, get in the car." Xi Minghui didn't blame them, and quickly boarded the troop truck parked not far away with the two of them.

Chen Ming lifted the curtain of the rear cabin and climbed up, entering the car from the dusty outside, and felt that his breathing was smooth in an instant.

There are not many people in the second battalion of Yuanhuo, and there are only four or five people in this troop transport carriage, and even the covers have been laid.

Xi Minghui patted the iron sheet of the cockpit in front of him, signaling that he could hurry, and then pointed to the two backpacks in the corner and said, "Chen Ming, you and Shuai Bing can sit in this car, come with me."

"Starting from the barracks, it is about 1,100 kilometers to reach the combat readiness point, and it may take two days to pull combat readiness from Pengcheng to the coastal area of Fuzhou.

"So far?" Chen Ming rubbed the bridge of his nose and wiped all the dust off his cheeks by the way.

"The 71st Army is like this every year for combat readiness, don't forget who our Eastern Theater was established to fight, and the combat readiness area is deliberately separated from the close point, and the sea is more than 100 kilometers away from there, even if you don't fight, the artillery here will scare him."

Xi Minghui smiled and continued: "You were not in the battalion when you set off just now, the second battalion held a unified meeting, and our opponent for combat readiness this time is the 73rd Army."

"It belongs to the same Eastern Theater sequence as our 71st Army, and its strength is very strong, you may be very unfamiliar with the 73rd Group Army, but you should know about the 31st Army of Sanye, right?"

"I have been guarding the southeast coast, and I am an iron-blooded hero led by the boss surnamed Chen in the past, it is not easy to fight, and it is very likely that I will be attacked when I have a strong foothold, so be prepared."

"Yes, squad leader."

Chen Ming forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, he always thought that combat readiness was the improvement of defensive nature, and all units entered a state of war and were ready to meet the battle at any time.

Boy.

Now I look at the situation because I thought wrong, which was directly blocked at the door and fired.

It is said to be a drill, it is a New Year's war preparation, what is the difference between this and holding a cannon directly against the opponent's bedside?

More than a hundred kilometers.

The artillery brigade can pull out a cannon at any time, and it can directly hit the shell into their nest.

As the saying goes, the couch will not allow others to sleep soundly, let alone sleep, depending on the situation, it is planned to collapse the couch.

With excitement and complicated feelings, Chen Ming spread his bed in the carriage and waited slowly.

On the way for these two days.

Xi Minghui was not idle, he pulled Chen Ming and Wang Shuaibing when he had nothing to do, and talked about the combat readiness in previous years and how fierce the battle was.

He also taught them how to keep guard and observe on the battlefield, which can be said to compress the ten years of military experience into two days, and teach them all without hiding their selfishness.

When I first arrived in the second battalion, the squad didn't have time to arrange for them to stand guard, and in addition, they practiced every day, so the combat squad did not arrange a sentry.

Now Xi Minghui is taking advantage of his free time to summarize all the precautions and tell them about them.

In the past two days, Chen Ming didn't listen to much else, so he only remembered one sentence.

The Second Battalion had not yet been formed for the New Year's War last year, nor did it have such an establishment, but it was only newly formed this year, and in addition, the performance of the large-scale winter training was too poor, so this news could not be concealed, and there was no need to hide it.

Once the war starts, the 2nd Battalion of Yuanhuo will be treated as a soft persimmon by the 73rd Army and will be uprooted first, and no one will let a Distant Fire Battalion be placed in the rear for deterrence.

Accurate bombing of hundreds of kilometers at every turn, this kind of firepower unit, even a group army can not ignore it.

Therefore, getting off the bus is almost the beginning of the spread of the war, and there is no choice.

Chen Ming took a deep breath and listened to the cries outside that had arrived at his destination.

Get up quickly and pack your bags.

He could already smell the fishy smell of seawater, which seemed to be mixed with a faint smell of gunpowder.
