The short conversation ended.

The comrades of the military sub-district arranged a dormitory for Chen Ming.

Although the conditions in southern Xinjiang are relatively harsh, the conditions here are very good, the people are good, and the scenery is good.

In the few days that Chen Ming was here, he learned a lot of knowledge that he had not been exposed to before, and theories that he had not imagined.

Compared with the tension during the large-scale military training, the review meeting was also full of rhetoric, and the commanders-in-chief of various military regions made a detailed and extremely profound review of the operation.

There was no praise in this meeting, and the whole process was full of problems, shortcomings, and plans.

Looking back at the large-scale military training, Chen Ming firmly believes that this people's army, which has experienced the test of blood and fire, has come all the way from victory and reorganized itself at a new historical starting point.

We will surely win new and more brilliant victories on the new journey of building a world-class army.

Faith is not blind, everything comes from what he sees, what he comes into contact with, and the experience of a few days seems to open a new door to the world for him.

It turns out that a soldier is never a person, but a group of people, and a soldier is the name for this group of people.

Comrades are a group of like-minded soldiers who work together for the new journey, and the soldiers of the new era, just like the same new stars, are rising.

The review meeting is over.

Before leaving, Feng Hongyi found Chen Ming again and had a brief conversation for ten minutes, mostly asking about the notes recorded by Chen Ming in the past few days and what he learned in the meeting.

Anyone who is beautiful will say that there are tens of thousands of talented people in the army, but they are talented, energetic, good at learning, brave in innovation, dare to accept new things and new ideas, and crush and absorb their own knowledge, this is the person most needed in the army.

Obviously, Chen Ming passed Feng Hongyi's test, and when he was leaving, he ordered his guards to give him a fountain pen and a thick meeting notebook.

Things are not expensive, but they carry the expectations of a veteran, maybe just like he thought, in Chen Ming, he saw the shadows of many old comrades-in-arms in the past.

I hope he can be down-to-earth, grow step by step, and finally use his backbone to support a piece of the sky in the army.

Thundered.

On the tarmac of the Southern Xinjiang Military Division, Chen Ming held a pen and a notebook left and right, stood upright, raised his right hand and saluted the national flag fluttering in the air.

Then he turned and strode towards the helicopter.

Waiting to return to the military district.

The commander-in-chief of the 71st Army, who rushed over later, smiled meaningfully when he saw Chen Ming holding a record book engraved with the insignia of the Army Headquarters of the Military Headquarters in his hand.

Stretched out his hand and patted Chen Ming's shoulder, without saying anything more.

Depart, return to the military region.

In the afternoon of the same day, Kong Wu, a clerk of the staff of the Fifth Battalion, received Chen Ming on the tarmac of the military region.

"Staff Officer Chen."

Kong Wu saluted excitedly, he hadn't seen it for a few days, and he felt that Chen Ming didn't seem to be the same as before, not that there was any change in his appearance.

But the introverted temperament seems to be different, as if it has become more calm, and the gaze has become more determined.

There is a hint of majesty.

"Let's go, let's go back to the brigade headquarters first." Chen Ming smiled back.

"By the way, has the brigade department had a problem with the application for a notification number these days?"

"Or is there another arrangement?"

"Report to Staff Officer Chen, no." After recovering from his senses, Kong Wu shook his head and continued: "After the large-scale military training is over, the military region will notify the call for the start of quarterly maintenance."

"The whole army is now busy with a complete cleaning of the tanks, derusting, painting, lubricating and so on."

"Our fifth battalion has also arranged for several engineers in the past to be busy all day long."

"Battalion Commander Du and Instructor Zhang organized to coordinate and distribute the backbone of each company in a way that led the old and the new, and while maintaining the combat vehicles, they also accelerated the training of those comrades who did not understand, and became more familiar with the combat vehicles of our synthetic battalion."

"The camp has been quite lively in the past two days, and the engineers and those backbones have explained the maintenance priorities of different vehicles and equipment on the spot to ensure that everyone has a division of labor and every combat vehicle is guaranteed."

"Hmm."

Chen Ming nodded, originally the spring and winter in the barracks were the big seasons for dressing, and the change-of-clothes was not to remove the previous old-fashioned weapons.

Instead, a comprehensive inspection of the parts of the vehicle, which parts of the vehicle are badly worn and must be replaced, you can take advantage of this time to make a list and report to the top.

The equipment department is uniformly deployed.

If it weren't for the suddenness of the start of the large-scale military training, I am afraid that this quarter's change of outfits would have started long ago.

But now, after a large-scale military training, those parts that are already worn out can be regarded as completely exhausted.

When the other battalions were fighting, they didn't know, anyway, the tanks of the fifth battalion often lay on their stomachs, and almost every twenty kilometers there were always some tanks that had a little temper.

But these are normal, special vehicles are not produced for the sake of rushing, and it is simply unrealistic to want these things to be like family cars, running thousands of kilometers at every turn.

Perhaps because of the change of clothes, during the journey from the military region to 169, I passed by other camps and did not see the scene of additional training after the large-scale military training.

The whole camp looks quite peaceful.

Back at the brigade headquarters, there was also no tension after the big training, Chen Ming observed the surroundings, and quickly figured out what was going on, touched his chin and laughed twice.

There was no nervousness, but the military region meeting had not yet begun, and although the commander-in-chief was brave at the review meeting, there was a spectacular scene.

But it's not always a role to spray.,There's a lot of time when I've been counted.。

Including the problem of filming by the supervision team of the director's department, there are also some units of the 71st Army, which have been recorded in a small book by the commander-in-chief.

Now that I have just returned to the military region, the conference has not had time to give notice, and the storm has not yet blown the units below.

Thinking about the experience of reviewing the three days of the meeting, Chen Ming sighed in his mouth, and expected that the next step would not be much better.

It is estimated that it will also be practiced miserably.

"You wait here for a while, and I'll go to the Wang Lu office to make a report."

Chen Ming gave a simple explanation, hurriedly got out of the car, and rushed to the brigade headquarters building.

Wang Junwei, commander of the 169th Synthetic Brigade, and Xu Wenqian, chief of staff of the brigade, were checking the application forms submitted by each battalion for changing their outfits and replacing parts, when they heard a "bang" knock on the door.

"Enter." Wang Junwei didn't raise his head and said hello.

Click!

The office door was pushed open, and Chen Ming strode in, standing upright and saluting.

"Report to Comrade Brigade Commander, Comrade Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff Chen Ming reports, please instruct."

"Chen Ming?!!"

"Haha, you kid is finally willing to come back?"

Chief of Staff Xu Wenqian laughed twice, got up from his chair and walked over, and pinched Chen Ming's shoulder.

He smiled and said: "You kid, good, good, this battle was unexpected, and it can be regarded as a face for our 169th brigade commander."

"Now who in the Seventy-first Army does not know the feat of our five battalions? Ha ha. ”

During the large-scale military training, Xu Wenqian has been following the troops and is responsible for command, and he did not go to the command room of the military region like the brigade commander, so he has never seen Chen Ming during this period.

I haven't seen him for almost a month since I set off, and I have only heard about the results of the Fifth Battalion and heard about Chen Ming's command.

When I saw it today, I couldn't help but praise it.

"Thank you, Chief of Staff, for the compliment." Chen Ming responded with a smile.

When Wang Junwei saw him coming back, he also put down the application form in his hand, sat at the desk with his fingers crossed, and said with a smile: "Okay, come back, come back, this review meeting has gained a lot, right?" ”

"You kid is lucky, with such a large-scale military training, being invited by the director department to participate in the review meeting can be regarded as a long insight."

"Well, to tell you good news, the military region has officially submitted an application to the theater for the number and establishment of the five battalions."

"It will take a little time, but during this time, you five battalions can't wait, do nothing."

"Do you know what it means to have a number, a number, and a sequence?"

"Report, I know." Chen Ming couldn't hide his joy and responded: "Applying for a number, it means that we are officially listed as a member of the people's army." ”

"It also represents formality, and many aspects must be rectified in strict accordance with discipline."

"To welcome the coming glory, we must also show the new style of the five battalions."

"Well, that's good."

Wang Junwei nodded, he hadn't taken much care of the Fifth Battalion in the past few months, and he also asked the pickets in the brigade not to go to the station over there.

Let go of Chen Ming and let them toss by themselves, the new troops, special affairs, and many aspects have not been planned.

It also does not follow the unified rules and regulations, training plans, and outlines of the brigade headquarters, nor does it need to be approved by the unified here.

It can be said that it is completely free-range mode.

In the past, there was no problem with doing this, everything was based on the final result, and there was nothing to say above.

But not anymore, all aspects must be regulated.

"Since you know, then I won't say more, Du Longfei, Zhang Jintao and the two of them are already planning, and you have to worry more after you go back."

"It is necessary not only to clearly divide the recreational facilities and training areas of the barracks, but also to mobilize the officers of the whole battalion, at least from the visual aspect, to ensure that the new construction and expansion of the combat effectiveness of the troops are the standard."

"We can't let the leaders above look over and be lazy and lazy everywhere, because officers are the core of the unit and the main part of the unit's combat effectiveness."

"Originally, I never gave this kind of request to your five battalions, and that was because your structure is not perfect, and you may be disbanded at any time if you don't have a number."

"But now it's different, the application has been submitted to the war zone, and the battalion flags of your five battalions are already being designed, and now there are no more concerns like before."

"Officers start with company commanders and instructors, these people are basically promoted company commanders, and they have never held a company position before, and then you must not only vigorously train, but also constantly evaluate them."

"All the final achievements should be reported to the brigade headquarters, including the awareness of carrying out combat and the quality of officers, and this aspect should also be strengthened and publicized."

"In the use and allocation of officers, it is necessary to focus on ensuring the deployment between military and political chiefs at all levels and professional and technical departments."

"Striving to train a group of officers with strong professional ability and capable of doing their own work in the shortest possible time is the next task you must grasp."

"Instead of only considering combat effectiveness and combat execution standards as before, it is too single and will not last long."

"Understood?"

"Understand !!"

Chen Ming responded loudly.

At the same time, my heart was also agitated, indeed, in the previous five battalions, everything was said by their battalion commander, staff headquarters, and members of the battalion party committee.

When to start training, when to start resting, no one ever asked, what was needed to say hello to the above, and it was in place very quickly.

This free-range method may sound very cool, but it is not, they are soldiers, the most obvious thing for soldiers is collective self-discipline, a short period of free-range may be nothing, but a long time.

Definitely not a good thing for the development of the five battalions.

What's more, a unit that has already been formed will be different from before, and the combat forces that have been cobbled together by various units will not be better mobilized.

At most, the combat power exerted is the ability of one plus one equals two.

But this is not the ability of the synthetic battalion at all, nor is it in line with Chen Ming's original intention of construction, which is to add one to one is far greater than two.

There is no need to worry too much about the formation of the troops, and the basic framework has already been built.

At present, the most important thing is to mobilize the ability to coordinate between technical troops and ordinary soldiers, and to mobilize grassroots officers to twist into a rope and work vigorously in one direction.

What was the former Five Battalions like?

Technicians are highly specialized, but they are poorly represented, they are all people who have been improvised and cobbled together, and technicians and ordinary fighters belong to two departments.

The name is still hanging in the original unit of the family, and there is no sense of belonging.

There is a problem with the maintenance of the chariot, and in terms of technicians, ordinary soldiers are waiting next to them, and no one is sure how long they can stay here, so they only need to take care of their own one-third of an acre of land.

Chen Ming had already discovered this problem, but he couldn't say it, because the precariousness was a major event that lingered in everyone's hearts.

But now this problem is solved.

The Fifth Battalion will carry out a thorough blood change and put forward higher requirements in terms of quality.

Seeing Chen Ming standing there, he didn't speak.

Wang Junwei said with a smile: "Okay, when will the war zone come over to give you the flag and the number, I will notify you separately at that time." ”

"Prepare yourselves."

"How important it is to present the flag, you should know very well that our country is recognized as one of the earliest countries in the world to have a military flag."

"Since the late primitive society, our ancestors have used the flag as a symbol of the gathering of people."

"In ancient times, whenever a general went out to fight, he would definitely be handsome beside him, and it was called Daxu at that time, and it was an important honor guard for the commander to command the battle."

"From ancient times to the present, when marching and fighting, morale and military spirit are very important, when the war is chaotic, if the soldiers can't see their own handsome flag, they will naturally think that their own general trend has gone, and they have no confidence to fight hard."

"On the other hand, if a soldier can see his own handsome flag, but cannot see the enemy's flag, he will think that the other party has lost, and thus his confidence will be doubled, resulting in a multiplication of lethality."

"The battalion flag also plays a very important role in modern times, and the military flag is a symbol of your unity and unified command and the honor of the soldiers."

"It carries the soul of an army, and it is also a representative of life and death."

"Do you understand what this means?"

"Understood!" Chen Ming saluted again.

A sense of responsibility arose in his chest, not to mention that he was an ordinary soldier of the fifth battalion, even he, the commander, would be empty in his heart when there was no battalion flag.

On the battlefield, many times the verbal motivation is very pale, because they are not going to race, but to fight with the enemy, the flag, is the faith, but also the pillar of the heart.

The flag of a unit also represents the determination of all officers and men.

The large-scale training fought so hard, and there were not a few units that were wiped out by the whole army, but who had captured the opponent's flag?

Training is training, defeat is defeat, but if you want to take away other people's flags, you can't do it yourself, that is the backbone of a force, the final bottom line.

Not to mention the large-scale military training, how many flags of enemy troops were captured in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in those years? The number can be said to be a handful, or even almost none.

On the battlefield, only this unit has people who have lost the battle, so they can continue to pull up a team in the future, and if the flag is surrendered, even if there are still people, the establishment will be disbanded on the spot.

It can never be reactivated, and that's how important the flag is to soldiers.

"If you get it, do it." Chief of Staff Xu Wenqian said with a smile.

"It is not easy for your five battalions to come to this point, you must cherish it and work hard to improve, there is still a long way to go."

"Go, if you have any difficulties, you can come to the brigade headquarters at any time, the fifth battalion is not only your fifth battalion, but also our 169th brigade, the fifth battalion of our 71st Army."

"Yes."

Chen Ming responded, and was about to leave, when everyone walked to the door of the office, turned around and said with a dry smile: "Brigade commander, chief of staff, let's get ready for our 169 brigade."

"Maybe the next military region meeting will not be good, when our 71st Army rushed to the aid of the 72nd Army against the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region, the director department arranged for the supervision team to come to the combat unit of our brigade."

"I also caught some small problems, well, it's not a big problem, but the commander-in-chief was held by other commanders at that time with this problem, and the quarrel was quite intense."

"I saw that the commander-in-chief's face changed."

"Roll"

Wang Junwei waved his hand angrily to drive people away, "You kid, which pot you don't open and which pot you don't mention." ”

"Hey, hey."

Chen Ming laughed twice and strode out of the brigade commander's office.

Reminding these is just to make the people above mentally prepared, but looking at the situation just now, the battalion that was caught by the supervision team should have confessed to the brigade headquarters.

Also, now confess, the crime has been reduced by half, if you hide it and don't say it, after the brigade commander is scolded by the head and face, it will not be as simple as training.

Coming to the parking lot of the brigade headquarters, Chen Ming took the vehicle and began to return to the fifth battalion.

On the way, I began to plan the follow-up arrangements.

The brigade commander is right, the fifth battalion applies for a number, which is not something that can be determined in a day or two, during which there will be a spring change of clothes, and there will be follow-up arrangements for large-scale military training.

Not only the 71st Army, but also the theater side will be busy, and even if this matter is finalized, I am afraid that it will be a month before it is executed.

During this time, Chen Ming planned to put the fifth battalion on the right track, even on the surface, to get on the right track.

This is not difficult, go around other camps, just like copying homework, just arrange for the comrades of the joint logistics department to copy it.

The difficulty is to start from the inside and rectify step by step.

The initial establishment of the five battalions was not integrated into battalions, but into companies, that is, company-level combat units were not a single task.

There's still a long way to go.
