Captain, it is not uncommon in the Dragon's Tooth Commando, the deputy leader of each squad is of this rank, especially among the non-combatants and those pilots in the Condor squad, there are more captains, and they catch a lot of them.

However, this does not deny Chen Ming's excellence!

His personality is not flamboyant, and he has never publicized his brilliant achievements during the selection period, but they are all people from the Eastern Theater of Operations, and they have been together for a long time, who doesn't know what happened in the past?

Who doesn't know Chen Ming's qualifications?

From entering the barracks to today's promotion, it has only been two years and three months since he entered the army, which is not a legend, a legend in the barracks.

Even if there is a dragon's tooth in it, it is because people can alarm the dragon's tooth, first there is strength, and then there is a legend.

Zhao Yunfeng's palms were red, and he looked excitedly at the tall figure that stepped out of the queue in front of him, and secretly made up his mind that in the future, Team Chen would be the goal he had pursued all his life.

Bang Bang Bang !!

Thunderous applause!

This is the affirmation of all the members of Dragon Tooth for Chen Ming.

Watching Chen Ming step by step on the high platform and stand in front of him, Tao Sheng's always cold and hard personality was around, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

took out the two captain's ranks from the red tray next to him, personally wore them for Chen Ming, and handed the award book to Chen Ming.

"Chen Ming, on behalf of the leaders and organs at all levels, I would like to extend my warm congratulations to you, and your promotion to captain is also a milestone in your life's struggle."

"At the same time, it is also a new starting point, I hope you can always cherish this honor, study hard, train hard, we, as a glorious part of the people's army, we must always keep in mind the nature and purpose of the people's army, remember the oath of soldiers."

"Resolutely obey the leadership of the military department, always put the interests of the country and the people first, and always be ready to dedicate their youth and blood to the people and the motherland."

"Are you ready for these?"

"Always be ready, thank you for the teachings of the Tao Corps." Chen Ming held the captain's award book in his left hand and saluted with his right hand.

He turned around and continued to salute the audience.

Suddenly, applause like a flash flood and tsunami sounded again, at this moment.

Chen Ming felt that all the efforts were worth it.

Walked down the high platform from the applause, and was about to enter the ranks, when Zhou Chen, the captain of the Canglong team next to him, grabbed him and simply handed a red tray to Chen Ming.

smiled: "Team Chen, even if you don't stay in the dragon's tooth, at least you haven't left yet, have you?"

"I'll give you the task of awarding the Dragon's Tooth Badge to the new team, don't even think about running."

"No problem, willing to do it for you." Chen Ming smiled and put the certificate aside, and took the tray with both hands.

The fifteen members of the new team were all brought out by him, and it can be regarded as a beginning and an end to be able to award them badges today.

Tao Sheng saw that all the captains in the audience were ready, raised his hand to suppress the applause, and said loudly: "Comrades, in addition to promoting Comrade Chen Ming to the rank and awarding badges to the new team members today, I have one more thing to tell you."

"With the authorization of the General Headquarters of the Theater of Operations, we are ordered to re-establish a new squad from the six squads within the next year."

"Codename: Thunder Squad."

"The formation will be announced one after another, and the existing teams must work together to contribute to the formation of the new team."

"Strive to be able to really stand here today next year and become the seventh squad of our Dragon Tooth Brigade."

"Now I announce that the dragon's tooth badge will be awarded to the new comrades."

Bang Bang Bang !!

Warm applause rang out again.

Outside the auditorium, the heavy rain was still falling, and the cold air was surging, but it could not affect the warmth in the auditorium at all.

The new team members lasted more than eight months, endured unimaginable cruel tests for ordinary people, and finally became a member of the dragon's tooth at this moment.

Responsible for awarding the badge are the seven captains, including Chen Ming.

The ceremony is simple.

The end is also fast.

But the meaning of wearing the badge is very different, and from today onwards, their status is no longer to come to participate in the selection, but to be a real member of the dragon's teeth.

Chen Ming stood aside, watching the six teams continue to pick up new team members and merge them into other teams, and he was also very relieved in his heart.

Anyway, these are the people he brought out, and it is not in vain that he has been training here for so long to witness this moment.

As for the newly formed Thunder Squad, Chen Ming guessed that it might take some time before it could really be carried out, after all, the establishment of a new squad is not child's play.

It is necessary to select the right captain, the right deputy team, discuss and formulate a supporting training outline, and adapt a little bit, with experienced personnel to lead.

Even during the selection period, you have to participate in actual combat to qualify, not to mention adding a new squad.

There will be even more severe trials to be undertaken.

If he's here, he's going to be the captain of the Thunder Squad.

It's just that the Dragon Tooth Commando is really not a place where Chen Ming can display his ambitions.

End of the ceremony.

After the six teams selected the people, they did not take the newcomers away, but let them continue to stay in the original dormitory, and deliberately explained that they would continue to follow the fire knife team to carry out tasks for the next three months.

This can make a group of people confused.

After the other teams left in a hurry, and Tao Sheng also left the auditorium, Zhao Yunfeng ran over strangely.

"Team Chen, is something happening?"

"I've all been drafted into the Tiger Shark Squad, and they all ran away and left me here."

"I don't know." Chen Ming shook his head and smiled: "Just obey the arrangement, you will be a real member of the Dragon Tooth Commando in the future, do things, don't be reckless in carrying out tasks."

"Remember, you can't let your own temperament come, understand?"

"Team Chen, you?"

It was only at this time that everyone reacted, and although Chen Ming was promoted, he also personally participated in the awarding of badges.

But he didn't wear the dragon's tooth badge.

Just now, he was only happy about his promotion and excited about becoming a member of the Dragon Tooth, but he ignored the fact that Team Chen was about to leave.

Zhao Yunfeng and the remaining fourteen people surrounded him again, their eyes were red, and they were quite reluctant.

They have calmed down since they learned the news just now, but they still can't accept this fact.

Facing this kind of scene of imminent parting, Chen Ming was slightly silent, he, like the people present, insisted on it step by step until now, and was about to leave, how could he feel comfortable, Chen Ming was also most afraid of this kind of occasion.

looked at the reluctant looks of everyone.

Chen Ming stretched out his hand and stopped in mid-air, and it took a long time to open his arms and hug his comrades-in-arms who had been born and died together for more than half a year.

Pretended to smile lightly: "Okay brothers, let's not say anything superfluous, I congratulate you on joining the Dragon's Tooth."

"You also want to bless me to complete the training of the dragon's teeth, besides, even if I am transferred, we are not far away."

"Tomorrow I will leave here for a holiday and go home for the New Year, and after the year, I will go to the 169th Brigade of the 71st Army to report, the 71st Army and the 73rd Army have to fight almost every year for the Spring Festival."

"Maybe next year's war readiness, we will be able to meet?"

"When the time comes, we will be rivals, but we will also be brothers."

"Synthetic 169 Brigade?" When the atmosphere was silent, one of the new team members named Yang Wenjie shouted in surprise.

"Team Chen, are you going to the 169th Brigade? That's where I came from, and I went to great lengths to join the Dragon's Tooth, but I didn't expect you to go there? ”

Yang Wenjie continued with a bitter face: "Then Team Chen, which unit are you going to, I was originally a member of the 169th Brigade Air Defense Battalion, if you go to the Air Defense Battalion, I still have many comrades-in-arms there."

"They'd be happy to know that I'm the captain of Dragon's Tooth."

"You're also the 169th Brigade?" Chen Ming was a little surprised, but this is normal, there are so many people coming and going during the selection period, it is impossible for him to know the original troops of all the members.

Even if he knew, he didn't have any concept of the synthetic 169 Brigade before, but he just started to pay a little attention to the appointment letter after seeing the letter of appointment.

"I am not an air defense battalion, I was transferred to the 5th Composite Battalion as a chief staff officer, as well as a fire staff officer."

"Synthetic Five Battalions?" Yang Wenjie was a little stunned, and when the other members saw this, they temporarily suppressed the sadness of parting, and hurriedly spoke: "What's the matter, Lao Yang?" You're talking. ”

"What's wrong with the Synthetic Five Battalion?"

Everyone asked anxiously.

They were now eager to hear some news about the bad situation of the Fifth Battalion, and then they would have a reason to persuade the captain to stay here.

After all, in their eyes, the chief staff officer of the synthetic battalion is not awesome, how can there be a captain of the dragon's tooth.

"Not really." Yang Wenjie shook his head embarrassedly, "The Fifth Synthetic Battalion has no establishment, and it was said that it would be formed as early as three years ago, but then it should have failed to be formed, and it was over." ”

"Before I came to participate in the selection, I didn't hear that the fifth battalion was going to be rebuilt, and during the vigorous development of synthesis in the past few years, the formation of synthetic battalions was very fast, but there were many unsuccessful and finally canceled."

"The fifth battalion is one of them, Team Chen, are you going there?"

"Well, that's it." Chen Ming nodded calmly, and there was nothing wrong with his expression.

But I couldn't help but slander in my heart.

Forget about the new construction, there are still failures before?

The theater army command really arranged a good unit for him, the chief staff officer is also a fire staff officer, although the real power is not high, but in the system of the composite battalion, the command is second only to the battalion commander.

Even the deputy battalion has to stand aside, otherwise you can give a chief staff officer?

That is to say, there is no chief of staff at the battalion level, and the way of addressing them is different, but in fact, the meaning is almost the same, not to the extent that the staff officers do not have a commander and do not make a sound of farts as the rumors in the army say.

However, no matter how much command is given, it will be difficult to move an inch in the past to give a unit that has nothing.

Chen Ming frowned slightly, according to what Yang Wenjie said, there was no news that it had been formed eight months ago, even if they had just participated in the selection and the fifth battalion had begun to be formed, there would not be much progress in those eight months.

After all, they don't even have a fire staff yet.

"Team Chen?"

A group of new team members around him cautiously spoke.

Looking at their hopeful eyes, Chen Ming waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, don't be around there, just obey the order and follow the arrangement."

"Let's go, I'm going home tomorrow, no one is allowed to mention leaving today, and no one is allowed to send me early tomorrow morning."

"Let's go back to the dorm first."

"I haven't had a good rest after being selected for so long, but I can finally rest today."

Seeing that the captain said so, leaving was already a foregone conclusion, and everyone didn't want to say more, just silently followed out of the auditorium.

Back to the dorm.

The area of the dragon's tooth base is relatively large, there are many buildings, but the number of people is not much, which also leads to a rather luxurious accommodation environment.

Even the dormitory of the selection personnel is a double room.

I can go home for the New Year this year, this news is strange to Chen Ming, and he has some expectations, since he returned to his youth, he has not returned to his home here.

In order to let himself slowly adapt to it first, Chen Ming did not call home in advance, but packed up his things in advance and pulled some people from the new team to chat in the dormitory.

In the evening.

In Chen Ming's time when they were all having dinner, all the members of the Dragon Fury Squad, the Canglong Squad, the Condor Squad, the Tiger Shark Squad, the Lightning Squad, and all the members of the five squads took a helicopter and left the base.

No one knows where they went.

After dinner, Chen Ming said goodbye to his comrades and returned to the dormitory, perhaps because the selection had just ended, and none of the squads had arranged training that day.

If it is according to normal times, not to mention that it is raining heavily outside, even if it is hail, it will not be able to stop the training arrangement.

I'm going home tomorrow.

Chen Ming got up and walked to the window with a lot of concern, not training, but unable to sleep.

Looking at the dark clouds outside, the dark night sky, and a burst of muffled thunder rolling from time to time, Chen Ming's mood was inexplicably a little depressed.

He couldn't say why.

In short, there is a feeling of palpitations.

"Am I also afraid to return home?" Chen Ming muttered self-deprecatingly, his eyes deep through the windowsill, looking into the distance.

After a long time, he silently returned to the bed, lying flat, looking at the ceiling with his head rested and his arms resting.

I don't know what's wrong, Chen Ming, who has never had insomnia, lost sleep tonight, tossing and turning for more than two hours before finally falling asleep.

Outside.

Eighty-seven kilometers away from the Dragon's Tooth base, a low-lying mountainous area, due to heavy rain, the hillside rolled down, and the mudslide rolled towards the village at the bottom of the mountain.

It happened suddenly, in the middle of the night, and the strangeness on the top of the mountain was not noticed, and it was too late when the movement was heard

The executive boss of the management department even dialed the phone number at the home of the head of the 73rd Army Headquarters overnight.

There is no other reason.

The incident happened suddenly, and the management department was unable to organize a rescue in the shortest possible time, not to mention that it was too dangerous.

They simply simply don't have the ability to get close to the place where the incident happened.

Not to mention the rescue, even the local situation cannot be known, whenever this time, only the people's soldiers are the most reliable and the last reliance.

Only the soldiers can reach the rescue site as soon as possible, regardless of the danger and against all odds.
