"Thank you."

Chen Ming also felt a little sudden about the news he received this time, and watched Chai Shuyao pull the car door and get into the car, and the military vehicle roared away.

Stunned, he stood still.

Wang Shuaibing stood in the distance, and when he saw that the two were chatting, he trotted all the way over, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you are really awesome this time."

"I'm obedient, second-class meritorious, and I can be promoted to become an officer, this is simply my lifelong goal."

"Going to the military academy, or the rumored National Defense University of Science and Technology, if I have this shit luck, my dad can hold a feast in his hometown for three days, and the dogs passing by from the door of the house are estimated to be rewarded with two bones."

The more Wang Shuaibing spoke, the more excited he became, but finally shook his head and sighed.

"Hey, it's just that I'm too lazy, if even I can grit my teeth as a recruit, run with you in the morning, and train together, I guess I can be a top player now, at least I won't be angry with Qin Datou."

"Brother Chen, if you become a company commander in the future, help me punish him, it's best to punish him for washing the toilet for half a year, and then transfer me to the cooking class, I will steam steamed buns, a family handicraft to ensure that it can be steamed."

"Okay." Chen Ming nodded and smiled.

The other side.

The command did not deliberately conceal the award given to Chen Ming for military merits, and the news soon swept through many combat units like a hurricane.

It was during the armistice.

Any wind and grass will become a topic of conversation on the boring battlefield.

In the first battalion of Yuanhuo, Zhao Lifei and others, who were all eliminated, learned that Chen Ming was awarded a second-class merit and went to the military academy.

The company commander Guo Yuanzheng of the recruit company, the instructor Lin Fengcheng, and the squad leader Zhao Lifei, a group of people gathered at the elimination point in a trance, second-class merit, the honor represented behind it is much stronger than the third-class merit.

If you say that you have been in the army for a few years, you are decent, and your performance is slightly better, it is possible to get mixed with one, or even in the border garrison, you can be awarded one after five years.

Although it is considered powerful in the army, it is not rare.

But there are many second-class merits, and many ordinary companies may not be able to come out with one in five or six years or even longer.

led the second brigade of recruits to train, that scene seemed to be yesterday, Chen Ming's image, although they had a good impression, but they subconsciously regarded him as a recruit.

I didn't expect it to be dry so soon.

Guo Yuanzheng sat in the thick tent to protect himself from the cold, smoked a cigarette and was silent for a while, looked at Zhao Lifei next to him, and said after a while: "Lao Hei, really let you bring out a good soldier."

"Chen Ming, this kid, did a good job, and he didn't lose the face of our second team."

"yes, a good soldier." Zhao Lifei also sighed, and did not forget to reach out and quietly touch a cigarette from the company commander, and stuffed the remaining half of the box into his pocket.

This action is called a skill.

Artillery Brigade Guard Company.

When Ma Dazhu heard the news that Chen Ming had made a second-class meritorious service and was about to be promoted, he temporarily asked the captain to take leave for half an hour, ran to the hill outside the brigade headquarters, smoked and lay on the dry grass, staring at the dark night sky with confused eyes, and was silent for a long time.

Brother Tigan, he was naturally happy, but when he was in the recruit company, this Shandong man has been secretly competing with Chen Ming, competing for the deputy class, he lost, competing for the ranking, he lost, competing for the assessment results, and lost again.

This time, the good brother is going to be promoted, and he hasn't even understood the picket, and the first month of training has not passed.

This time, I lost again.

Logistics farms.

Zhu Guangzhi stirred the swill bucket with both hands, looked at the high sky in the distance with deep eyes, and sighed in his heart.

is worthy of being a squad deputy, now he is going to be an officer, Chen Ming is a brother who entered the camp with them and grew up together, and has helped the entire recruit class.

This news made Zhu Guangzhi feel and excited again, and the second-class merit is different from the third-class merit, and he will be able to become an "official" in the future.

As Chen Ming's former comrade-in-arms and lifelong brother, Zhu Guangzhi felt that the pace of carrying a swill bucket to feed the pigs was a lot lighter.

This is his squad deputy!

I am proud to have such a comrade-in-arms.

Recruit Training Center.

Ye Qingwen, Yang Shengli, and Li Kaizhao, the athletes and recruits who once competed on the same stage with Chen Ming, were speechless after the three got the news.

In the past, the three of them and Chen Ming could still fight in the big review competition and compete for who was the first.

Now, the six-month training of the recruits on their side has not ended, and the rank of limp has not yet been hung up, but Chen Ming has achieved another great achievement and won the second-class personal merit.

Even the notice of promotion of cadres has been issued, breaking the rule that soldiers cannot be promoted, and the decision will be made directly by the theater, and they will set off for the military academy soon after the Spring Festival war preparations.

When the news came, the three of them collectively fell silent.

Soldiers don't admit defeat and can't lose, but that doesn't mean they won't be lost, people who used to compete on the same stage are now almost unable to see the taillights of other people's cars.

Ye Qingwen shook his head with a wry smile and rushed to the horizontal bar training ground in the distance, followed by Yang Shengli, the two of them were second and third in the evaluation field, and also won the third class.

It's the same as Chen Ming at that time.

But now, the gap has been completely widened.

Second-class merit, lifting dry.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, this news became a topic of conversation in various units, and some people who did not know Chen Ming at all had heard more or less about it.

The guy who won the first place in the recruit evaluation and occupied half of the military newspaper in the recruit column in the theater can be regarded as a celebrity if he is not too big or small.

The truce time stipulated by the director's department was from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m., a total of five hours.

During this period of time, in addition to the news that Chen Ming had made meritorious contributions to the army, the Dragon Tooth Commando changed the selection requirements of previous years, and after the war preparations were over, the news that it would recruit members for the entire theater and even the whole army was also reported.

It was not until this time that many veterans connected the two pieces of news together, and after inquiring in detail, they were even more shocked.

Chen Ming actually thwarted the attack of the Dragon's Tooth Commando twice in a row on the battlefield, and with his own strength, he completely extinguished the fire knife squad.

Even if the fire knife squad is only in the commando team, it is mainly responsible for information jamming and cyber attack, but so what? If someone can put on the name of a dragon's tooth, not everyone can compete with this kind of team.

It is no wonder that the direct announcement of the promotion during the war readiness period has made the veterans of many combat units feel a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Wait for the early hours of the morning to enter the new year.

Combat readiness has once again begun.

The 2nd Battalion of Yuanhuo was not only concerned by the 71st Army, but also targeted by many units of the 73rd Army.

A new round of battles is coming.

Chen Ming also reined in his mind and threw himself into battle again, but this time there was no Dragon Tooth Commando to suddenly make trouble and engage in sneak attacks, and the second battalion of Yuanhuo was escorted by three synthetic battalions.

On the battlefield, the eight-minute rule was followed, and the place was changed after one round, and even the entire crew was evacuated from the artillery position within four minutes.

After a few days, he was stunned that he was not caught by the enemy.

The 71st Army on the front line comprehensively suppressed the second line of defense of the 73rd Army.

The first day of the first month.

The 73rd Army's long-range fire battalion was discovered by the enemy's reconnaissance battalion, and the news was transmitted back to the second battalion.

On the afternoon of the second day of the first lunar month.

The 73rd Army Air Force Command Center was locked, and the 71st Army Artillery Brigade arranged a special operations team to carry out the destruction, but the mission failed, and the coordinates were transmitted back to the 2nd Battalion.

The third day of the first month.

The frontal offensive of the 71st Army was blocked, and the fighting between the two sides entered a white-hot situation, and the other half of the combat strength originally retained by the two armies was all put into the battlefield, and the two sides combined brigade units, totaling as many as 12, were completely red-eyed.

Chen Ming's second battalion of long-range fire was also locked by the enemy's light synthetic battalion, and he was forced to fight a close-range encounter from the original long-range fire attack.

On the battlefield, the battle loss ratio increased again, and nine of the twelve artillery trucks of the 2nd Battalion of Yuanhuo were destroyed.

The fourth day of the first lunar month.

The fighting escalated again, and there were only two days left before the Spring Festival preparations, and as soon as the time came, the theater of operations would issue an order for a complete withdrawal of troops.

The last two days were the moment when the two armies decided to lose.

And just when Chen Ming had been following the second battalion, fighting, transferring, transferring, fighting.

The entrance of the armed forces department in Pengchengwei County was lively again.

Dong Guofeng, head of the Armed Forces Department, received news from the military region as early as the second day of the first lunar month that Chen Ming of the Qiangzi Battalion had been awarded a second-class meritorious service in the army and had been promoted to the National Defense University of Science and Technology.

Dong Guofeng carried the gift on the same day and took the two of them to Chen Ming's house to pay New Year's greetings, and by the way, they communicated about sending good news.

This has to be positive.

As a native of Weixian County, Chen Ming has successively won personal third-class merit and personal second-class merit in just half a year, which directly leads to the fact that their armed forces department does not have to think about how to promote this year's conscription propaganda.

The president of the Weixian County Management Department and the vice president of the Pengcheng Management Department got the news and contacted the Armed Forces Department directly, and on the fourth day of the first lunar month, they would send the good news to the Yanzi Camp together.

This is a rare opportunity to get the word out.

With these two leaders present, as long as the arrangements of the armed forces department are perfect, the media department will follow up and report more, and take advantage of the fact that the atmosphere of the New Year has not yet disappeared, and publicize it in a big way.

It can directly stimulate the county's military upsurge.

Early in the morning on the fourth day of the first lunar month.

Many people in Wei County have not gotten up, young people have not woken up from their hangovers, and the enthusiasm of visiting relatives has not started, and the major supermarkets have just piled up gifts at the door.

Waiting for customers to come over and shop and visit relatives.

Here at the gate of the Armed Forces Department, a banner was raised, and eight military vehicles were lined up, followed by a salute car.

Dong Guofeng is also a soldier, and he knows that the good news is connected to the morale of the troops on the one hand, and the expectations of tens of millions of military families on the other, so it must be lively enough.

He was indeed well prepared this time, with more than one banner.

In addition to the banner of "Warm Congratulations to Comrade Chen Ming for his second-class meritorious service" and the plaque of "Home of Second-class Meritorious Service" with a red and gold border.

Banners such as "Good News Spreads Sangzi, Honor is Worth a Thousand Gold", "Meritorious Service in Military Camp Construction, Good Name in Hometown" and so on were specially prepared, which can be said to be quite well prepared.

Combine the good news and conscription propaganda, and prepare to take a good turn around the county, taking advantage of the New Year, young people are at home.

Do a wave of propaganda ruthlessly.
