Early morning.

Chen Ming had breakfast at home, said goodbye to his parents, and was going to report to the army.

Chen Qianghe, Hu Caixia, as well as the third uncle Chen Qiangshui, and the uncle Chen Qiangjiang, packed up their things early and sent him all the way to the intersection of Yuandian Road, chatting at home after half a month.

Parents and uncles already knew that Chen Ming had to adapt to the new unit this time, completely transform from a soldier to an officer, and take on the heavy responsibility of forming a new unit.

As a father, Chen Qianghe has nothing to help his son, but reminds him over and over again to pay attention to his body and take care of himself in the army.

Hu Caixia stood beside her, quietly wiping her tears, choking up and not saying a word.

Looking at his father's reluctance and his mother's worried look, Chen Ming pretended to smile calmly: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I have also had family leave since this year, not to mention that in the army, I can use my mobile phone to contact my family every day."

"Don't worry."

"Mom, Dad, Uncle, Third Uncle, I'm leaving, you all take care of yourself."

Seeing the vehicle coming, Chen Ming waved goodbye, and walked to the position step by step to sit down.

Looking at the figure of his parents through the car window becoming more and more blurred, Chen Ming rubbed his temples, leaned back on the back of the chair with a sigh of relief, like everyone, staying at home to rest for too long during the New Year, and the whole person was lazy.

In the face of the report of the new unit, Chen Ming was really a little confused, he had heard of the synthetic unit in his previous life, and he had also been exposed to a lot of command and combat case analysis in this area at the National Defense Science and Technology University.

Even in Dragon's Tooth, there is often training in the knowledge of synthetic warfare, after all, synthesis has become the mainstream of the army, and if you want to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, you must first understand the enemy.

No matter how much training you have, after all, it is just talk on paper, and there is no real sword or gun, and you have carried out actual combat in a bold way.

If you only understand theory, there is still a long way to go before you can turn this knowledge into experience.

Chen Ming looked at the regressing buildings outside the window, but his brain was calculating rapidly, the Theater Army Command transferred him to the 169th Synthetic Brigade, obviously hoping that he could make achievements, after all, his promotion speed was too fast.

If he maintains this momentum, makes some achievements, and makes the formation of the Synthetic Fifth Battalion successfully complete and meet the above expectations, then his subsequent development and promotion will also be smooth.

If this formation fails, then he, the chief staff officer, is likely to be casually stuffed into a unit, and in the end no one cares, and it will not be so easy to come out again.

Chen Ming smiled bitterly, hugged his backpack in his arms, to be honest, he did have the confidence to form a new synthetic battalion, but not as much as he originally imagined.

Not having been exposed to it is one thing.

And the most important point is that if the synthetic troops want to form real combat effectiveness, it is not in the literal sense, and it is not as simple as putting more than a dozen arms together to listen to the command and fight a war.

Coordination, linkage, and integration of offense and defense, the more you understand this combat mode, the more you understand the difficulties.

Far from it.

As far as Chen Ming knows, a support company under the synthetic battalion is composed of more than a dozen arms, not to mention the strength of a battalion, even if it is just a company for these arms to be reasonably deployed and give full play to their combat effectiveness.

I'm afraid I have to take off half a pound of hair and meditate hard before I can finish it.

Besides, the 71st Group Army is also an old and strong army, and even if the synthetic route is not at the forefront of the whole army, it is only slightly weaker than the 81st Army.

In this case, the formation of the fifth battalion three years ago was finally declared a failure, and now he is asked to serve as the chief staff officer, and from an innovative point of view, the composite battalion is reorganized.

It's too early to say that there is a lot of confidence.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Ming shook his head and simply leaned on the car and didn't think about anything.

At present, I have not reported to the troops, and I don't know what the instructions above are, let alone the current situation of the five battalions, and it is useless to think about it more.

Pengcheng is not far from the garrison of the 71st Army, that is to say, Chen Ming reported in the past this time that there is no need to take the high-speed rail again, and it takes three hours to take a car from the Yanziying camp to the city.

He took a taxi directly in the urban area, spent 200 yuan, and took a taxi to a remote base of the 71 st Army, which was a garrison training ground, relatively close to the urban area, and in order to deal with emergencies, the base was stationed all year round with troops.

He didn't know where the synthetic 169 Brigade was, if he went to the artillery brigade and then changed the route, he might not be there before dark, so he simply drove to the base and asked them to help contact.

The living can't let urine suffocate to death, no.

Getting out of the taxi, Chen Ming was dressed in civilian clothes, like a young man who had just studied in college, carrying a backpack and walking towards the base.

The two guards on duty at the gate frowned when they saw someone coming, raised their hands and said politely: "Hello comrade, the front is a military station, which is not open to the public, and unrelated personnel are prohibited from entering, please detour."

"Hello."

Chen Ming said hello, took out his military ID card from his pocket, and handed it over.

"Help me contact the 5th Synthetic Battalion of the 169th Synthetic Brigade, I'm going there to report."

The guards glanced at Chen Ming suspiciously, and there were many reports that they couldn't find units every year, after all, the locations of many troops were not always the same.

But it's the first time I've encountered such a distance, the synthetic 169 Brigade, which is hundreds of kilometers away from their base, this guy is too serious.

After taking the military ID card, carefully checking it, and confirming that it was correct, the guard stood up with a serious face and saluted: "Hello chief, this is your certificate, please wait a moment."

The guards returned their documents with both hands, turned around and ran to the gate to make a phone call, and waited for about five minutes.

A military vehicle drove out of the base.

Chen Mingzheng wondered what they were going to do when they had been delayed for so long, when the guards who had just called ran over again to salute.

"Comrade Chief, hello, I have checked with the 169th Brigade, and your information has been confirmed over there, and now I will send you over."

"Okay, I'm in trouble." Chen Ming replied.

The person who drove out was the post that replaced the guards, and it seemed that Chen Ming was a better person to speak, and the guards introduced themselves: "Chief, my name is Liu Fei, you can just call me by my name."

"Hehe, thanks to you coming to ask for directions today, I can also follow the trip tolerance, and I don't have to stand guard there boringly."

"I was really shocked just now, I wondered if you were lying to me, how did the people of the 169th Brigade run to our training base."

"You don't have to call me chief, my name is Chen Ming, you can call me by my name, you don't have to be so polite if you don't wear a military uniform." Chen Ming smiled kindly.

It's really lucky to be able to meet such a warm-hearted person when asking for directions, although he is a captain and Liu Fei is a first-class soldier, it is not too much to call a chief.

But after all, the two are not the same unit.

Out of politeness, he came to ask for directions, and when he met that kind of person, he really just called and told him to wait here, and there was no way to do it.

In comparison, Liu Fei is already very enthusiastic.

The vehicle starts.

Liu Fei is indeed a standard talker, and after only walking for a few minutes, he turned his head to look at Chen Ming in the back seat and said, "Chief, did you say that you went to report to the Fifth Battalion of Synthesis?"

"I checked the records just now, and the 169th Brigade is a mixed and composite brigade, but there are only four composite battalions, and there is no number of the fifth battalion?"

"I called the communications company of the brigade headquarters to confirm your information, it was reported in the past, but their own brigade headquarters communications company said that there were no five battalions."

"Well, the Synthetic Fifth Battalion is a newly built combat unit, and there is no application for a number yet, so it's normal if you can't find it."

Chen Ming's tone of response was very relaxed, but he chuckled in his heart.

The battalion commanders and instructors of the five battalions had already been to his home a few years ago, and he thought that at least the five battalions had begun to take shape, but now listening to the meaning of the brigade headquarters communication company, it is very likely that the five battalions have not yet been established.

Although Chen Ming has not been in the synthesis camp, his understanding is quite profound, and if it is formed from scratch, it will be more difficult.

Synthetic troops, the emphasis is on synthesis, and the difficulty is in synthesis.

There's no one here, so he's a hammer?

As for the first step plan he prepared earlier, it is necessary to accurately grasp the internal elements of the composite battalion, grasp the coordination between various arms, consider the sharing and overall coordination between friends and neighbors, and give full play to the dominance of firepower.

From intelligence reconnaissance, fire assault, ground attack, multi-maintenance, full equipment and full personnel participation, multi-element and multi-arms are carried out simultaneously.

Aren't all these preparations in vain?

It seemed that seeing that Chen Ming's face was not quite right, Liu Fei smashed his mouth and said no more.

En route.

It took nearly three hours to finally arrive at the headquarters of the 169th Brigade of the Synthetic Brigade.

Chen Ming got out of the car, stood at the gate of the brigade headquarters, and looked inside, the general building was no different from the artillery brigade.

It's just that it covers a larger area, the office building is more bold, and the artillery brigade is a local tyrant brigade, and these synthetic brigades are also veritable local tyrant brigades.

Liu Fei saw that the person had been sent to the place, and stretched out his head to look out the window: "Chief, this is the brigade headquarters of the 169 Brigade, my task is complete, now go back, you can go in and report."

"Okay, thank you." Chen Ming responded with a smile.

watched Liu Fei step on the accelerator and leave quickly, and then he came to the position of the brigade post with his backpack.

He was about to show his documents and ask for the location of the brigade commander's office.

As a result, this time, without waiting for Chen Ming to speak, a senior soldier in the distance quickly ran out of the gate.

He looked up and down with surprised eyes before asking, "You are Comrade Chen Ming, right?"

"Is it the report of the fifth battalion in the past?"

"Yes, you are?"

"Hello Counselor Chen, my name is Kong Wu, from today onwards, I will be your clerk, and the chief has arranged for me to greet you here."

"Finally waiting for you, please come with me, the chief has been waiting for you for a long time."

Kong Wu greeted excitedly.

Helped Chen Ming carry the backpack in his hand and walked to the brigade headquarters building.

All along, Chen Ming was alone, came over to report, and assigned a paperwork, which somewhat surprised him.

Looking at Kong Wu's positive appearance.

Chen Ming, who was walking in the rear, smiled dumbly, it seemed that the treatment of the new unit was not bad.

At least from today onwards, he will be able to fulfill his duties as a captain in the true sense of the word.
