Although Wang Junwei's words were sharp when he asked, his tone was extremely kind, who gave him the courage, Chen Ming couldn't answer this kind of words.

If you have to explain, it's simple, with such a large-scale training, they either choose to retreat in the rear for more than ten days, and then pack up their things and go back to the barracks, but this is not the result Chen Ming wants.

The unorganized troops, when they arrived on the battlefield, were almost forgotten from above, everyone was busy fighting and deploying, who could think of the small scale of your 1,000 people?

The fifth battalion has no fuel to do, so it's a big deal to lie in place and do nothing, even without ammunition, just don't participate in the battle.

So what's the end of without dry food?

The whole battalion of soldiers is hungry for a day, is it possible that he can still take the soldiers of the fifth battalion to starve for half a month? People are training here, and he is surviving in the wild with people here?

If this is really the case, it is estimated that the fifth battalion will be disbanded before the large-scale training is over.

The reason why he secretly attacked the rear station of the Blue Army and blew up the baggage warehouse was forced by the situation, first, because of the embarrassing situation of no logistics, and secondly, because Chen Ming didn't want to come and did nothing.

Before the start of the large-scale military training, the military region almost decided to temporarily disband the five battalions and return the strength to the various units.

As a commander, Chen Ming didn't want to live this precarious life, the number, he needed the number, and the fifth battalion also needed the number.

With the number, there is an establishment, and if there is an establishment, there is a combat sequence, and some of these are not said to be dismantled by the five battalions when they fight again.

Chen Ming has never said these words to the outside world, but he has been doing it all the time and working hard.

Nor did he give up, he was always full of confidence, and the battalion commander, instructor, company commander, instructor, including all the fighters of the fifth battalion knew.

Their staff officer Chen was working hard, trying to make the 5th Battalion better.

Seeing that Chen Ming was silent, political commissar Xu Guoyang had insight into his thoughts, smiled and reached out to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Chen Ming."

"Here."

"Any army has to go through all kinds of difficult stages from its creation to glory, don't complain, you have been working hard."

"I and Wang Lu have seen all this, the surprise attack of the fifth battalion last night was very beautiful, and the party committee of the military region decided to award you a personal second-class meritorious service."

"I have already informed Battalion Commander Du just now, the line of fire confers merit, our army has always had this tradition, which shows the recognition of the above."

"You have to keep doing it too."

"Yes, thank you, Comrade Political Commissar, Comrade Brigade Commander." Chen Ming saluted.

Then he said with some doubts: "Political commissar, it doesn't matter if I personally award military merits or not, didn't the military region award the fifth battalion this time?"

"After all, I'm just the one who commands, and it's the fighters who really execute."

"Haha, you kid." Wang Junwei, who had been standing next to him and had not spoken, smiled and pointed ahead.

"Let's go, I can't say everything to you, don't worry, the military region has another reward for the fifth battalion."

"You made such a big noise, how could you not say it."

After Wang Junwei finished speaking, he strode towards the distance, and at this time, the battalion commander Du Longfei had already gathered the soldiers of the whole battalion and was ready to hold a meeting.

The people of the 2nd Special Operations Battalion and the Dragon's Tooth ran to the side to watch, and the military region will implement the commendation for this operation, after all, the destruction of the Blue Army's baggage warehouse will have a great impact on the entire battle situation.

The military district will not be stingy.

It's just that the fifth battalion, as a new battalion, is still the main force of this operation, and the reward will be greater.

Wang Junwei walked to the queue of the five battalions, Chen Ming and Xu Guoyang followed, just now he said that it doesn't matter whether the military merit is awarded or not, this sentence Chen Ming is really not modest.

In the past, military merit was needed, that is, to be promoted, but now that he is a captain, once he applies for the number, as long as his position remains the same, he will be immediately promoted to major.

The personal second-class merit is better for him, and if he doesn't, it won't have an impact.

If he had a choice, he would prefer to give this honor to the Fifth Battalion.

After all, this was the battalion he had single-handedly brought out, and the fifth battalion had been rewarded more than he had been rewarded himself.

The three of them walked through a small poplar forest and came to an open place, where more than 1,000 soldiers from the fifth battalion were neatly lined up in a company.

Although they did not rest all night, even though it was on the battlefield, there were many eliminated Blue Army soldiers around them, and the atmosphere was very strange.

But the soldiers of the fifth battalion, their bodies as tall as javelins, stood in place, staring ahead.

Battalion commander Du Longfei didn't know where to find a megaphone and handed it to Wang Junwei.

The eyes of all the soldiers were focused on him.

Many soldiers of the Fifth Battalion did not know him at all, and from its establishment to the battlefield, Wang Junwei had not been to the Fifth Battalion, except for the soldiers who were originally part of the 169th Brigade.

The vast majority of the rest do not know each other.

But it doesn't matter, although Wang Junwei didn't wear epaulettes, and the word "brigade commander" was not engraved on his head, the soldiers present knew it.

This is the person sent by the military district to praise them.

The posture must be in place.

Boom boom.

The artillery of the distant battlefield was still roaring, and the battle between the Red Army and the Blue Army continued.

But it doesn't affect them.

Wang Junwei swept the queue with tiger eyes, nodded slightly, and said loudly.

"Comrades, do you know why there is a saying that the battle flag is so picturesque?"

"I will tell you here that it is because the blood of the heroes of our ancestors stained the battle flag red, and as a soldier, we must inherit the will and belief of our revolutionary ancestors and move forward with high spirits."

"From you, I see the picturesque will of the battle flag, and I can tell you very responsibly that you are qualified."

Qualified?!!!!

A group of soldiers from the fifth battalion looked at each other, and they came up violently, making a word without a beginning or an end, so that they didn't react for a while.

Or was Gao Fei, the captain of the helicopter squadron, the first to show surprise and shouted: "Chief, we are qualified, does it mean that we can apply for a number for our fifth battalion?" ”

Rumble!!!

The crowd exploded.

Those who are not in the fifth battalion will not understand the meaning of a number, which is the life and symbol of a unit.

The number is here, and the troops are there.

This is the most important logo of every soldier, carrying glorious dreams, entrusting fierce ambition, containing struggle and sacrifice, and it is something that is deeply melted in the blood of soldiers.

For a soldier, the number is as important as a nationality is to a civilian.

On the battlefield of large-scale military training, the horns are excited, the military flag is flying, the waves are rushing, and the tide is agitating.

Whether they are defeated or won, everyone has their own name, but the fifth battalion does not, and others can proudly say which unit they come from.

The number is never a cold number or character, which represents the glorious history of an army.

And now, except for the slightly louder name of the bandit brigade, only the title of the fifth battalion of the Red Army remains.

But the key is that in the synthetic 169 combat sequence, there is no record of the synthesis of the five battalions at all, and there is no way to check it.

Wang Junwei said, you are qualified.

Let all the soldiers of the fifth battalion clench their fists, staring ahead, eagerly waiting for the next step.

Seeing this scene, Wang Junwei smiled slightly and raised his hand to stop the excited crowd.

"That's right, what the comrade just said was right, the military region has decided to formally apply to the above."

"Apply for a formal combat sequence for the five battalions and become a member of the people's army."

"Moreover, the military region decided to award the five battalions of collective second-class merit, in view of this operation, Chen Ming commanded properly, and when fighting with the blue army, he repeatedly brought immeasurable losses to the enemy."

"It was decided to award Comrade Chen Ming a personal second-class meritorious service as an encouragement."

"Individual second-class merit can be awarded now, and collective second-class merit needs to wait for your number application to come down, and the military region will make up for it immediately."

"Now let us invite Comrade Chen Ming to the stage with warm applause to receive his military merit medal."

Bang bang bang.

In an instant, the humble meeting scene was thunderously applauded, and all the soldiers of the fifth battalion clapped their hands vigorously.

It seems that he wants to express the excitement in his heart through applause.

is not only happy that Chen Ming can get the second-class merit, but also happy that their five battalions have finally come out.

Including the second special operations battalion next to it, the soldiers of the dragon's tooth all applauded, and even the blue soldiers who came to watch the excitement in the distance also applauded.

The awarding of military merits is sacred and solemn.

The conditions on the battlefield are relatively simple, but there should be no less rituals.

There are many witnesses.

"Chen Ming."

"Here."

Before the brigade commander could call himself, Chen Ming had already packed his clothes and strode to stand still.

Wang Junwei took out a small red box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a military merit medal lying inside.

A medal that symbolizes the honor of a soldier.

Under the witness of the soldiers of the fifth battalion, Wang Junwei solemnly took out the military medal and pinned it to Chen Ming's left chest with his own hand.

"Comrade Chen Ming, now on behalf of the 71st Army, I award you military merits, and I hope that you will make persistent efforts in the next military career and continue to open up a new chapter that belongs to you."

"Understood?"

"Yes."

Chen Ming stood upright and saluted.

Although he didn't attach much importance to this personal second-class merit just now, he really waited for this military merit medal to hang on his body.

The glory and pride that honor brings still affects him all the time, and it also spurs him on.

The applause of the fighters in the distance became even more intense.

Although the fifth battalion has been eliminated and has lost the qualification to continue on the battlefield, it has not lost its honor.

The command above saw their efforts, saw their results, and recognized their abilities.

That's what it's worth.

End of the ceremony.

The battalion commander Du Longfei arranged for the soldiers of each company to rest, and Wang Junwei smiled and patted Chen Ming's shoulder.

"In the next few days, the 71st Army is likely to move to other battlefields, so you can wait here for the director's arrangement."

"After the battle, the radio stations of the Red Army and the Blue Army will issue instructions, including the director's office, and you will be notified to assemble at the assembly point, and you can lead the team there when the time comes."

"We'll take care of the rest."

"Oh, by the way, because the movement you made this time is so big that it has already alarmed the director's department."

"The chief director this time is someone from the Kyoto Military Headquarters and Army Headquarters, you should know this, right?"

"Well, I talked about this before the war."

Chen Ming nodded.

"yes." Wang Junwei sighed with emotion, he didn't expect Chen Ming to be so tossed.

A large-scale military training, with a battalion-level firepower, took less than two days, and the director had to order a truce, and at the same time paid attention to him.

"I heard from the commander-in-chief that the head of the director's department will go to the Fifth Battalion after the training, but I estimate that he will not go to the 71st Army, and there is a high probability that he will come to you directly after the end."

"Or give an order to go to the location of the director's office."

"Get ready."

"Yes."

Chen Ming looked back and looked around, what was there to prepare for on the battlefield?

It's still the territory of the Blue Army, even if he is a big leader, he will not let the Joint Logistics Department arrange the venue again.

Seeing that Chen Ming coped with it easily, Wang Junwei didn't explain too much, whether the chief above came to see the fifth battalion or Chen Ming, he couldn't say this.

After a few brief words, Wang Junwei and Xu Guoyang left in a hurry.

The battle with the Eighth Division of the Tianshan Mountains here is coming to an end, and where will the main force of the 71st Army go to fight next, it will also have to be deployed.

He couldn't afford to stay here for too long.

Time flies.

Twenty days passed quickly.

During this period, it was almost the same as Chen Ming guessed, there were too many people eliminated on this battlefield, and they were still eliminated in a short period of time.

The director didn't have that much energy to divide the concentration camps one after another, and simply stuffed everyone into the Blue Army's baggage warehouse.

The school field, which covers an area of 220,000 square meters, is crammed with more than 20,000 people, most of whom are people from the Eighth Division of the Blue Army, and the director department is watching here.

According to the rules of the previous eradication of concentration camps, you must get up on time every day, go to bed on time, and even report to the toilet.

After all, who made you eliminated?

Just like the broiler said, when he entered the elimination concentration camp, he was a good baby, and he had to do whatever the people in the director department arranged.

But not this time, there are too many people, and the director department can't manage it at all.

Chen Ming: They live quite comfortably every day, no one cares and no one asks, they sleep on the floor, and there is a special canteen for eating, except for the beginning when someone from the Blue Army will come to look for trouble.

Later, after being cleaned up by the dragon's tooth people, they were all honest.

The name of the man, the shadow of the tree, and the deterrent power of the dragon's tooth commando on the battlefield are in no way weaker than any special forces.

What's more, Chen Ming is not the only one in the Fifth Battalion, there are more than 1,000 people in the battalion, and 3 or 400 people in the 2nd Special Operations Battalion.

At first, there were occasional skirmishes, and the scolding ended, and then as time went on, even the skirmishes stopped.

The two sides got together all day to brag and chat, sharing what interesting things they have experienced since joining the army.

The soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region said that the conditions here are difficult, but there are many allowances, and how much money they have saved in two years as a soldier has become a topic of their daily conversation.

Occasionally, they will get together to compare their physical fitness.

There is no way, the people in the director's department are watching from the outside, and everyone is not allowed to leave the school grounds, and they can only have fun here.

It will not be bitter to write.

Chen Ming mingled with the Dragon's Tooth people all day long, listening to them talk about what tasks they had carried out in the past few months.

Listening to the Canglong team, they poured bitter water, because it wasn't so sudden that this big training came, and several of their teams were still honing themselves in the primeval forest.

There is no chance of coming back at all.

It was precisely because of the large-scale military training that the general corps called them back.

Listening to their encounters in the rainforest all day long, Chen Ming was also overwhelmed with emotion.

The experience of the Dragon Tooth Squad in the past few months is far more than ten times more cruel than those filmed in the TV series.

Always be on guard against poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, and the place that does not see sunlight all year round, breeding all kinds of strange insects, and swamps everywhere.

Every day must be blistered, the slightest negligence may be injured, some soldiers of the fifth battalion followed over to listen, from beginning to end as if listening to a story.

Many people don't believe it's true at all, and the Dragon's Tooth people don't explain it too much.

Because the units are different and the missions are different, there is no need to force them to accept their own training methods.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon it was the twentieth day.

This period of time is the most leisurely period of time that Chen Ming has lived since joining the army.

There is no need to think about training, there is no need to think about the coordination of various companies, and there is no need to take the personnel of the staff headquarters all day long to go to each company to find problems and solve problems.

Analyze and improve the combat effectiveness of the whole battalion.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Ming, as usual, was sitting in the Blue Army's baggage warehouse, ready to listen to Yinlong talk about his field training experience.

The loudspeaker at the top of the baggage warehouse came out with the sound of "Zizizi", the horn was connected to the public radio station, and it was basically silent on weekdays, but today suddenly there was a sound.

Many of the warriors present looked up at the horn in unison.

An intermittent sound came from within.

"Call, call, this is Dong Mi, repeat, this is Dong Mi Public Radio."

"The peace messenger training has officially ended, and all units have gone to the same place to assemble and wait for the instructions from above."

"Attention of all units, this is the command platform of the cave, the training of the peace messengers has ended, after the comrades of all units receive the news, please quickly return to the original gathering place and wait for the arrangements from above."

"Click!"

The sound disappeared, the door of the baggage warehouse outside was also opened, and the personnel of the director's department also came to inform the end of the training.

Let all their personnel return to the place where they first came to the battlefield of the big training and assemble.

Time to go.

The broiler chickens of the dragon's teeth, the silver dragon, and the phantom dragon reluctantly bid farewell to Chen Ming and left from the gate on the other side of the baggage warehouse.

The fighters of the 2nd Special Operations Battalion also ran over to say goodbye and left one after another.

Chen Ming sighed, comfortable days always pass quickly, this time the training ended, and the public radio station did not inform the red and blue sides who won the final victory.

But there is no doubt that no matter who wins the final victory, all units will definitely review this battle after the end.

Finding out all kinds of problems and then carrying out long-term training is a link that can never be avoided by field troops.

Just when Chen Ming was about to gather the soldiers of the fifth battalion, roll call, and withdraw from this area.

Thundered.

A helicopter flew over in the distance, and no one cared about it at first, until all the people from the fifth battalion were gathered.

A member of the director's department ran over in a panic and shouted, "Chen Ming, who is Chen Ming?"

"Me."

"Comrade, what's the matter with you?" Chen Ming looked at him suspiciously, he knew someone who came.

It was one of the members of the director's department who had been in charge of watching them during this time.

But this big training is over, why is he still looking for himself?

"Hello, Comrade Chen Ming."

The staff of the director department first saluted, and then invited: "You can explain and come with me, the director department is reviewing this operation, and the chief above will let you go over by name."

"Let me pass."

Chen Ming frowned, the review after the end of the big training, that kind of meeting is not something he can participate in at his level.

Even Wang Junwei, the commander of the 169th Brigade, couldn't go, he was the commander-in-chief of the military region.

What could he have done in the past?

Explain the whole process of this operation?

Chen Ming himself was also a little caught off guard by this sudden news.
