The shrill siren sound pierced the sky, enveloping the entire five battalions.

Woo ~ woo ~ woo

The voice went from low to harsh, from long to short, alarming the entire Fifth Battalion.

"it, gather ?!! urgently"

"Hurry up, don't sleep, it's all numb."

"Assemble, pack the backpack and don't bring it, wear a hat and tie a belt, and gather outside the building."

The soldier who had just fallen asleep, hearing the squad leader's command, quickly got up and packed his backpack, pupa out of the dormitory, and lined up at the company assembly point.

Battalion.

Battalion commander Du Longfei and instructor Zhang Jintao hurriedly ran out of the cadre dormitory, and when they saw that Chen Ming had come downstairs, Du Longfei quickly waved his hand and arranged: "Old Chen, you go to each company to watch them roll call, you shouldn't have to go to the depot to assemble."

"This is not a signal to leave, the tractor and the military rail route have not been arranged during the day, and there are no conditions for the departure of the large army, I will go to the brigade headquarters first to see what the situation is."

"Okay, there you go." Chen Ming waved his hand in response, opened the car door and prepared to go to the companies to inspect, in the middle of the night, it was not a joke to suddenly sound the air defense siren.

If it is not for advance notice, no matter how big the chief, he must be dressed and assembled within ten minutes.

Chen Ming also wondered if the large-scale military training had begun, it would not have been so sudden, and it would take time for the large troops to be transferred, which should have been what the chief of staff said a few days ago, and the whole army had entered the internal first-level combat readiness.

Buzz.

Several transport planes passed by at high altitude, and the tense atmosphere in the barracks was suddenly filled.

Armored infantry company headquarters, Ma Hongjie looked at the sky in confusion, he couldn't see anything in the dark, he was so anxious that he rubbed his hands, stood in front of the queue and paced back and forth, and turned his head from time to time to stare at the squad leaders.

"Is it time for it? All classes are crowded, right? ”

"Report to the company commander, all squads are in place."

"Then order it again."

Yes, looking at the company commander like this, the soldiers of each squad understood that he did not know what was going on, so he could only honestly stand in the queue and wait for news.

He Pin, the commander of the tank company, and Gao Fei, the leader of the helicopter squadron, also hurriedly gathered the team and ran to the armored company to inquire about the situation.

The results were obvious, and they were all confused, not at all knowing what was going on.

The facilities of the five battalions were incomplete in all aspects, and the horn barracks for the air defense sirens were not installed, and the sound was still rubbing against the adjacent barracks.

In addition, the fifth battalion has a single source of information, and they are generally not notified of any news from the brigade headquarters in normal times, and suddenly such a thing is done in the middle of the night, and several company commanders are anxious.

Except for the sound, there was no notice from above.

Just when a few people were anxiously scratching their heads, the sound of a buzzing vehicle engine came, and Chen Ming drove to the armored company.

Without waiting for the car to stop, Ma Hongjie, Gao Fei, and He Pin hurriedly ran over, waited for the car to stop, opened the car door and asked urgently: "Staff Officer Chen, is this the beginning of the large-scale military training?"

"Why didn't you get any notice in advance?"

"There is no hurry, first in accordance with the combat readiness process, the materials will be loaded, and the vehicles will be overhauled, maintained, and debugged."

"Arrange the instructors of each company, do a good job of combat readiness and mobilization, let the comrades of the cooking squad work hard, start preparing rations and fresh water in advance, and ensure that they can set off at any time."

"Turn off all devices that communicate with the outside world."

"The rescue platoon of the engineer detachment is stockpiling medicines, and the soldiers of each company are not leaving their guns, their clothes are undressed, and they are waiting for orders from above."

"Until the alarm is lifted, or before the order is issued, each company must be ready to fight at any time."

Chen Ming got out of the car and commanded in an orderly manner.

The people at the battalion headquarters took the lead in giving orders, and each company could be regarded as finding the backbone and issuing orders one after another.

With a roar in response, some of the backbone led the chariot driver to overhaul the vehicle, while the other part gathered and prepared to load supplies.

Seeing that the situation here had stabilized, Chen Ming summoned all the company commanders: "After you arrange your work, go to the conference room of the battalion headquarters to gather."

"The battalion commander has gone to the brigade headquarters to inquire about the situation and will be back soon."

"Be ready for anything."

"Yes, Counselor Chen."

Several company commanders responded quickly, seeing that the vehicles in the distance had been out of the warehouse, and the soldiers were carrying boxes of materials to load the trucks, and their hearts began to be worried.

Many company commanders who have been directly transferred have never served as a regular company in their original units, and the large-scale training is not a confrontation some time ago.

If they were to be in charge, they would not be in a hurry, but they would inevitably be a little nervous and a little heavy.

Through a simple conversation, Chen Ming saw that these company commanders were a little unconfident, and he didn't say anything to comfort them, and the commanders and fighters had to go through battlefield baptism again and again in order to grow.

Without these, no one can be a good conductor.

Otherwise, I really thought it would be so easy to serve as a company commander at the grassroots level.

Soon, the battalion commander Du Longfei returned from the brigade headquarters, and the company commanders of the fifth battalion gathered in the conference room of the battalion headquarters.

Du Longfei, who rushed back and forth, saw that everyone had arrived, and immediately entered the state of the meeting, and spoke in a serious tone.

"Comrades, just now, the Wang Brigade has given an urgent notice that the joint training of the three armies has begun, and there is no luck in other aspects, and our fifth battalion will participate in this operation."

"But you don't need to worry, the notice from above is very sudden, we are not the vanguard, the air assault brigade and the service support brigade must set off first and go to the training area to clean up irrelevant personnel."

"In the days before our departure, the military region has entered the internal first-level combat readiness, and from now on, all companies, platoons, and squads will cancel their vacations and cancel their outings."

"Loading the supplies, repairing and cleaning the vehicles, every hour, each squad is called once to ensure that they can leave the battlefield at any time."

"Strengthen night patrols, increase the number of personnel at the sentry posts, and order our department to make an operational plan as soon as possible to deal with the next big war."

"It is very likely that there will be no process of war games in this large-scale military training, and when they get to the battlefield, they will fight freely and fight a fierce war."

"The air defense siren will be lifted at 12 o'clock tonight, but the alarm will be lifted, and our vigilance must not be relaxed, let alone slack, and we must make good arrangements at any time."

"Understand?"

"Understood!!"

The conference room roared angrily, sounding determined to fight.

Chen Ming propped his hands on the conference table, with some excitement in his eyes, the big military training is finally here.

Since joining the army, except for the New Year's war preparations, I have basically not been to the front line, even if the New Year's war preparations are not impressive, most of the time they are either attacked, or follow the Yuanhuo Battalion East and West with a hammer and a stick in the west.

Fire a shot and quickly change places.

The scale of the joint large-scale military training of the three armed forces is not small.

Du Longfei took a breath and spoke again: "Comrades, I won't be verbose if you say anything superfluous, in short, you all know the situation of our five battalions."

"The brigade headquarters has not received any news at present, and it is not clear who the opponent is this time, but as I said before, fighting across theaters, the opponent is likely to be group armies in other theaters, and we have only one purpose."

"That is to beat the spirit of our new battalion, no matter who his grandmother's opponent is, when he arrives on the battlefield, as long as he encounters a hostile unit, he will rush up to me fiercely, and tear off a piece of meat first."

"Armored infantry company."

"Here."

"Tank Company."

"Here."

"Artillery battery."

"Here."

"Helicopter squadron."

"Here."

"Support Company."

"Here."

"Support Company."

"Here."

"Engineer detachment."

"Here."

"Special Reconnaissance Team."

"Here."

The eight company commanders stood up in unison and responded loudly.

Du Longfei swept his gaze over the faces of each company commander, and his tone was serious: "You must show 200 percent of your spirit in this battle."

"Give me the demeanor of the fifth battalion and the future of the fifth battalion, do you have confidence?"

"Yes!!"

"Okay, the meeting is dismissed, and the political work cadres of all companies should do a good job in the ideological work of the fighters and appease the mood of preparing for war."

"Yes."

As soon as a group of cadres who came to the meeting left, Du Longfei's excitement from the beginning immediately became wilted.

It's like a proud plum blossom shrinking in an instant, bowing its head and losing its luster.

This instantaneous change stunned Chen Ming, and he was amazed in his heart, the battalion commander's speed of changing his face is really not as good as ordinary people.

"What's the matter, battalion commander, what did you say when you went to the brigade headquarters?"

Hearing Chen Ming's inquiry, Du Long Fei got up and strode to the door of the conference room, seeing that the company commanders outside had already walked away, and closed the door with a "clang".

He sat down with a sad face and spoke: "Lao Chen, this time our five battalions participated in the war, but we didn't have our establishment?"

"Wang Luming said that without our battle sequence, the brigade headquarters can arrange railway transportation to transport the five operations to the locality."

"I won't care about the rest."

"This means that in this large-scale military training, how many people are out of our five battalions, how many people are left, how much equipment are sent, where to assemble, and how to supply logistics supplies, we have not yet been found."

"So harsh?" Chen Ming was a little surprised when he heard this, he knew that this operation was not in the preparation sequence.

I didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

In the final analysis, Chen Ming is also the first time to go to the battlefield as a commander, and he is not clear about many details.

"Hey, isn't it just harsh." Instructor Zhang Jintao smiled bitterly and said: "All the troops in the military region have entered a combat state, how can the higher authorities control you so much."

"Battalion logistics, even logistics fuel and ammunition supply, it's not about how much you have to give, sometimes a light order comes down, let us handle it ourselves."

"When the place doesn't have to dry anything, the oil will be empty."

"There is no establishment, there is no serial number, which means that our five battalions have no logistics support in the rear on the battlefield, in addition to being able to give a background to the big training, and mark it with a blank head."

"What maneuver route, what meeting place, what battle plan and arrangement, all of them are just two words, no."

I rubbed Chen Ming's rare scratch of his head, now he can be regarded as a long insight.

The chief of staff didn't say anything about it when he explained the matter before, but he thought that the chief of staff was close to him, and told himself all the plans he wanted to strengthen.

I always thought that the military region had a large-scale military training, and there were people to solve the problem of combat and military quarters for all units, but there was nothing for half a day?

There are so many war routines in the military region?

"Be content, anyway, this time the brigade promised to find a railway to transport us to the combat site."

"Otherwise, when the order comes, we will not have the organization, and we will have to figure out our own way to go to the battlefield."

Du Longfei reluctantly comforted, he knew that Chen Ming didn't understand a lot when he mentioned it, and he didn't dare to take a few years in advance, and when he was the company commander, there was a time when the means of transportation and military quarters were handled by himself.

When the whole company ran to the battlefield, half of the weapons and chariots were thrown halfway, and the weapons were reduced by half before the battle was fought, so angry that the leaders above directly ordered them to dig dry toilets.

Du Longfei didn't mention this matter.
