End of meeting.

Chen Ming left the battalion headquarters operations command room and returned to the staff headquarters, just stretched his waist and didn't sit down, the clerk Kong Wu hurriedly ran over to report.

"Staff Officer Chen, when we had a meeting just now, the clerk from the brigade headquarters came over and asked you to go to the brigade headquarters after the meeting."

"At that time, I said that I was in a meeting, and the brigade headquarters didn't seem to be in a hurry, and said that it was okay to finish the meeting."

"To the brigade?" Chen Ming was puzzled: "What about Battalion Commander Du and Instructor Zhang, did they say that they want to go over together?"

"No, just a notice to let you go."

"Okay, I got it."

Chen Ming responded, helplessly raised his hand and patted his forehead, just now he was thinking about being able to take a break, training is not something that can be rushed, it can be reasonably arranged but it must be done step by step, I thought that I would finally end a period of work, who would have thought that there would be something again.

Since he came to the 5th Battalion of the 169th Brigade, he has been as busy as a spinning top, as if there are a bunch of things waiting all the time.

finally caught the opportunity to rest, but it turned out that there was still something to deal with,

Coming out of the staff headquarters, Chen Ming came to the battalion headquarters parking lot to start the vehicle.

I estimated in my heart that this time the brigade headquarters let me pass, eighty percent was not the order of the chief of staff, it should be the meaning of the brigade commander, at this time, what else could I do besides the confrontation with the first battalion?

Listening to Kong Wuna's meaning, the brigade headquarters' instructions were not in a hurry.

Chen Ming didn't need to be too panicked, he drove from the battalion headquarters and first went to the training ground to see if the work of each company could be carried out smoothly after the meeting just now.

There is no problem with slow progress, but I am afraid that the company commanders below have no ideas, and the current establishment of each company in the fifth battalion is relatively simple, and the pressure on cooperation between companies and platoons is not so great.

As long as they can follow the instructions at the meeting, improve the efficiency of logistics support, and work hard from the front row to reload the tanks, the confrontation with the first battalion will not be too difficult.

After all, the fifth battalion is a reinforced battalion, and it has an absolute advantage in numbers.

When he came to the training ground, Chen Ming made a round, the armored infantry company was gathering the backbone for a meeting, the engineer detachment also pulled each squad and platoon to issue the latest policy, and the battalion commander Du Longfei ran over early to supervise the progress after the meeting.

Seeing Chen Ming coming, he laughed and said, "Old Chen, I thought that you would prepare for the next work after arranging the task, and you didn't worry about the situation on this side of the training, it seems that you can't sit still?"

"It doesn't matter, since the brigade headquarters has issued an order for this confrontation with the first battalion, it means that the above means support, you can also relax, just treat it as a workout, don't care too much about the final result."

"Even if we lose, it doesn't mean that we don't have the strength, after all, what the troops need is to run in, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it."

"It's not that only victory can prove our ability, losing is a mistake, and tempering is also to lay a foundation."

After Du Longfei figured it out, he was worried that Chen Ming was under too much pressure, so he deliberately ran over to relieve him.

"yes, I know." Chen Ming glanced around, "Winning or losing is really not very important, but our task is to ensure that we don't lose as much as possible." ”

"By the way, the brigade headquarters arranged for me to go over just now, it should be an order from the Wang brigade, and it is estimated that it is also because of this confrontation."

"Eighty percent." Du Longfei nodded, "Just now I thought that the brigade headquarters would let you pass." ”

"The new battalion and the old strong battalion are fighting against each other, the brigade headquarters will not be indifferent when they hear the news, Chief of Staff Xu's personality is similar to yours, and he belongs to the type that dares to think and dare to do."

"But Wang Lu is much more stable, he thinks about things more comprehensively, but it's not a big problem, you wait to see him, and explain the arrangements at the meeting again, let's apply for confrontation and not blind confidence."

"I also pondered about the reinforcement battalion just now, your thinking and arrangement are correct, our current synthesis is not complete, the difficulty of coordination is not high, the combat effectiveness is relatively fast, and the progress speed of the old comrades is okay."

"In a month's time, we won't necessarily lose this battle."

"You go, I'm watching over the training side, and I'll communicate with you at any time if you have any questions."

"Okay, battalion commander, I'll go first."

Chen Ming nodded, Du Longfei was the most suitable to stare at the training ground, he was the battalion commander, and he was most familiar with the formation and combat habits of the first battalion.

It's better to train with a target than to try slowly.

After a brief chat, Chen Ming said goodbye to the battalion commander and drove off to the brigade headquarters.

The Fifth Battalion was stationed in a relatively remote area, not close to the brigade headquarters, and Chen Ming drove for nearly 20 minutes to arrive, without waiting for the vehicle to enter the gate.

From a distance, I saw Wang Junwei, the commander of the 169th Brigade, standing not far from the office building to accompany a colonel to chat.

The two talked and laughed.

When he first came to report, Chen Ming had never met the political commissar of the 169 Brigade, but he had heard Du Longfei and Zhang Jintao tell a lot of things about the political commissar of the brigade headquarters.

If I'm not mistaken.

The leader beside Wang Lu should be it.

Chen Ming quickly parked the vehicle in the parking lot of the brigade headquarters and strode towards the organ building.

Before he could say hello, Wang Junwei smiled and beckoned: "Come on, come on, Chen Ming, come here."

"Old Xu, this is the chief staff officer of the fifth battalion arranged above, this kid can really toss, today I applied with Xu Shen to fight against the first battalion, I have more courage than you and me, dare to think and dare to do, he is a talent, haha."

After Wang Junwei finished speaking, he pointed to the colonel next to him who was strong and majestic: "Chen Ming, this is our 169 Brigade political commissar comrade Xu Guoyang, he called you over just now."

Xu Guoyang?!!

Chen Ming thought for a moment, and immediately saluted: "Comrade political commissar, comrade brigade commander, Chen Ming, staff officer of the 5th Synthetic Battalion of the 169th Synthetic Brigade, reports, please give instructions to the chief."

"Well, yes, there's a lot of energy." Xu Guoyang stared at Chen Ming for a few moments, and returned the salute with a smile.

"Chen Ming."

"Here."

"Do you know what you're doing at the brigade this time?"

"Report to the chief, it's about fighting against the first battalion."

Chen Ming responded truthfully, but after Xu Guoyang heard it, he shook his head very simply and smiled: "No, if you are fighting against the first battalion, you can just communicate with the staff department."

"This is a stage that the development of the five battalions will inevitably go through, and you naturally have a reason in advance, since the management of the creation of the five battalions has been handed over to you from above, what the brigade headquarters can do is to fully support it."

"I came to you for something else."

Something else?

Chen Ming looked at Xu Guoyang suspiciously, the biggest thing in the fifth battalion at present is confrontation, what could be more important than this?

As if seeing Chen Ming's doubts, political commissar Xu Guoyang smiled and took out a folded newspaper from his pocket, handed it over and said, "Look at it, this is the news about your rescue of Ludao Wugai Mountain a year ago."

"At present, it has been published in the military newspaper of the theater of war, including this year's conscription, and the theater has also deliberately publicized some things about the rescue at that time."

"You're a celebrity now."

Chen Ming stretched out his hand to take the newspaper, if Xu Guoyang hadn't mentioned this stubble, he would have almost forgotten it.

There are endless things to do every day on the side of the fifth battalion, and who can remember about the rescue every day if they have nothing to do.

I opened the newspaper and looked at it, it was different from the recruit section at that time, that time it only occupied half of the page, and this time it occupied almost the entire page.

The title "Although the disaster is ruthless, there is great love in the world, and the lonely brave in the darkness." 》

At present, the reconstruction work on the side of Ugai Mountain has basically entered normal, everything is on track, and the impact has been minimized.

Only one issue of information about the rescue can be published.

The photographer and compiler are all Chai Shuyao, Chen Ming looked over and over again, the news in the newspaper was nothing special, it was nothing more than participating in the rescue at that time, the information of the dragon's tooth was blurred, and most of the credit and performance during the rescue were occupied by him alone.

In the picture, they are all carrying people at that time, or busy in the ruins with a crowbar, these pictures were taken relatively late, and there is no such miserable scene as at the beginning.

Chen Ming looked at it and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, except for the people from the dragon's tooth who didn't come out, and the rescue unit at that time was assigned to the fifth battalion, and everything was as usual.

"Chief, this military newspaper."

Chen Ming originally wanted to say that there was nothing worth paying attention to the things recorded on it, but he had already finished reading it.

Xu Guoyang seemed to have misunderstood Chen Ming's meaning, and said with a smile: "I know that part of the content written above is a bit biased, but that is also something that cannot be helped."

"The purpose is to preach, to promote the spirit of selflessness, in the morning I went to the military region for a meeting, and the head of the military region specially mentioned this matter."

"This year, the recruit training center is led by our 169th Brigade, and when the new comrades are assigned to the battalion, Brigade Commander Wang will go over, and some officers from each battalion will be transferred to serve as new trainees."

"Considering that the current establishment of the fifth battalion is not perfect, you don't need to arrange for officers to go over, but you have to take the time to go, especially the opening ceremony of the recruit training center on the first day."

"I'm going?"

Chen Ming looked at Xu Guoyang in surprise, not understanding which one he was singing.

The recruit training center is organized in the first half of the year and the second half of the year, and it is taken over by different brigades, but this has nothing to do with him.

Let's not say that the Fifth Battalion can't leave at present, even if everything goes well with the Fifth Battalion, he is a chief staff officer and has no experience in leading troops, so he can't play a role in the past, so it is better to arrange more veterans to be more realistic.

There are no hard requirements for the commander of the recruit company of the group army, and only a captain officer can serve as a captain, such as a non-commissioned officer with old qualifications in the army, and the third or fourth term can also be qualified.

After all, there are thousands of recruits in the training center, and there are more than a dozen recruit battalions, and there are dozens of company commanders, and there are not so many captains in any brigade.

The battalion commander usually arranges for the captain, or the major to go over and keep an eye on the coordinated management.

It's not a formed team, it's just a half-year training, and the veterans have more experience, so it's easier to bring them up.

Seeing that Chen Ming did not respond for a long time, the brigade commander Wang Junwei quickly realized that he had misunderstood.

He explained with a smile: "Okay, the problem of leading troops has nothing to do with you, and the leadership of the new comrades will not arrange you over." ”

"What the political commissar means is that your deeds have been used in many places in this year's conscription propaganda, and you have also been placed in the conscription advertisements in various regions in the Eastern Theater."

"At the morning military region meeting, someone suggested that you come forward in the training center and talk about all your experiences from enlisting in the army to the present, so as to boost the morale of the new comrades."

"Just participate in the opening ceremony."

"That's right." Xu Guoyang nodded, "This was proposed by someone at the meeting of the military region, and it is also what I meant." ”

"Your deeds are the most suitable for positive publicity, so that the new comrades can take you as a benchmark and work hard to develop a new style in the barracks, not for you to lead the troops."

"How about it, prepare and prepare, don't be too anxious, there is probably a month to go, and it is not in a hurry."

"Yes, chief, that's fine."

Chen Ming grinned, if he just let him show his face in the past day and tell those recruits about his experience after entering the army, it would be no problem.

That's too good for him.

If you take out the previous deeds and talk about them casually, you can successfully complete the task.

As for leading the troops, it can't be said that it won't, what did Zhao Lifei, the squad leader of the recruit before, he could complete it by painting a scoop according to the gourd, it was not difficult.

It's just that half a year is too long, and staying in the training center is half a year, which is not easy to endure.

The matter about the training center is arranged.

Wang Junwei took over and said: "Okay, about the opening ceremony, you should prepare more yourself, and the head of the military region will also be there at that time, and strive to perform better."

"I don't have to worry about this issue, now let's talk about the confrontation with the first battalion, how did you arrange it?"

"You have seen the establishment of the five battalions when you first came, and you should know that when you really achieve combat effectiveness, it should not be difficult to fight a battalion if it is properly commanded."

"But now you are all comrades from various units, and you have been temporarily transferred to the past, and even many comrades don't know much about synthetic operations, so you can't help but consider it in terms of morale if you rashly fight a confrontation at this time."

"Yes, Brigadier Commander, I know that."

In the face of Wang Lu's inquiry, Chen Ming had nothing to hide, and immediately explained the architecture of the visual terminal system, as well as the people from the dragon's tooth who came to help, as well as the advantages and weaknesses of simulated operations.

The situation on the side of the fifth battalion, even if Chen Ming doesn't say it, Wang Junwei knows it, but what he wants is Chen Ming's future plan for the fifth battalion.

As well as the idea of confrontation with the first battalion, follow-up arrangements.

If it is just for the sake of confrontation, then Wang Junwei will consider canceling it, after all, resource consumption is one thing, and more importantly, it cannot hit the confidence of the five battalions.

According to the current gap between the two sides, no one dares to guarantee that once the war starts, the five battalions will not be beaten and have no power to fight back.

It's solved in minutes.

If there is such a possibility, it is better not to fight.

However, Wang Junwei listened to the speed of progress brought about by the simulated operation and the impact on morale, and then heard Chen Ming's arrangement of logistics, as well as the adjustment of tanks and armor tactics.

Combined with the arrangement of the single company of the five battalions, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, you can arrange these things."

"Let's go, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, you do know the establishment of the first battalion, but after all, you have never been in contact with a synthetic battalion before, let alone a reloaded synthetic battalion."

"I'll take you to the first battalion to see, see their training, see how they work together, and then consider whether to continue your persistence."

"Let's go, Lao Xu, let's go to a camp and have a look."

"There is no problem with Chen Ming's arrangement, all aspects are considered in place, if you can maintain your current confidence after watching the training of the first battalion, then you can start to apply to the above for this confrontation arrangement."

"Okay." Political Commissar Xu Guoyang nodded.

The three of them left the brigade headquarters in military vehicles and headed straight for the garrison of the first battalion.

The formation of the five battalions is not only a matter of the 169th Brigade, the command of the 71st Army has always been concerned about it, not to mention the confrontation between battalions, which involves more than 2,000 units into the operation.

This kind of military operation, the brigade headquarters must also report to the above.

Following the two leaders of the brigade headquarters, there were special guards in the brigade to drive, and Chen Ming sat in the co-pilot, listening to the chat behind, turning his eyes to the window, paying attention to the route ahead.

His time in the 169th Brigade was still too short, and many of the camps were not clear where they were.

While memorizing the route, Chen Ming was thinking about the matter that Xu Guoyang had arranged for him to go to the recruit training center just now to participate in the opening ceremony.

I was in a trance.

I didn't expect to be able to participate in this kind of training ceremony.

In my impression, Chen Ming has not given too much thought to the issue of leading troops.

In fact, the time to put on the military uniform is not too long for Chen Ming, just over two years, and many things have changed in a flash.

He is no longer the private who didn't understand anything.

I think that when he first entered the recruit company of the artillery brigade, he didn't even have a military rank, and every day like a group of young people who also had a dream of military service, he was curious about everything in the barracks.

At that time, the squad leaders and those veterans didn't eat, one was more enthusiastic than the other, and coaxed the recruits to eat with a wicked smile on their faces, and they had to eat more.

That can move a group of recruits into a mess, usually at home, except for their parents, who can worry so much about whether they can eat enough.

One by one, they ate hard with their appetites.

At that time, he didn't know what the "almighty little yellow basin" was, and before he came to the army, he could occasionally see ridicule on the Internet, and he could enter an unfamiliar environment.

Unless you are mentally prepared at the beginning, most things are forgotten, just like a good baby, they do whatever the squad leader says.

Later, the guns were fired, and the people in the dormitory were excited all night and didn't sleep much, if it weren't for the squad leader of the recruit company who shared a dormitory with them at night.

It is estimated that the night before the gun was awarded, more than half of the people in the company could not sleep, and every time they thought about it, they were so excited that they couldn't do it.

Later, after the recruit training ended, the comrades-in-arms in the same dormitory who were about to be separated were in the recruit company camp, and they were familiar with every grass and tree there in the cold wind.

Chen Ming remembered that someone asked at that time if they left the company, some people would think of the bits and pieces of the recruit company, after all, it was the place they wanted to escape most at the beginning.

No one responded to this question at the time, only he responded: Yes, although I felt it at the time, there were not many.

Now that it is another year of conscription season, the new comrades who enlisted in the first half of the year are about to enter the camp, and when he thinks of this problem again, Chen Ming is deeply touched, indeed, he will remember the bits and pieces of the year.

Midnight dreaming back to the recruit training ground, there are too many memories in it, but unfortunately, everything can't go back.

Some of the comrades-in-arms of that year have been discharged from the army for half a year and have taken off their military uniforms.

And he's still moving forward.

Just when Chen Ming's thoughts fell into memories, the body braked steadily.

The first battalion has arrived!!
