"Sort of, Wang Lu said that this is just a preliminary plan for the war zone, but the final result will not be too different from this."

Chen Ming explained.

As long as this kind of number is drafted, it is almost a clapper, and there will be no changes.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have come out.

When he first came to the Fifth Battalion, Chen Ming wondered how the 169th Brigade suddenly had to form such a large-scale reinforced medium-sized composite battalion.

You must know that the number of the five battalions is several hundred more than the sum of the three battalions and the four battalions, and it can be said that it is to fill the overall combat effectiveness of the 169 brigade, but there is no need to spend so much time.

The role of the mixed brigade itself is inclined towards logistics, taking on the task of complementing on the battlefield.

For example, if the heavy brigade is disabled, the first and second battalions of the 169th brigade can be quickly replaced, and when the light brigade is not mobile enough to support the battlefield situation, the third and fourth battalions will be replaced.

The air defense battalions, artillery battalions, and strategic support battalions of other brigades were scrapped, and the mixed composite brigades in the rear could be quickly replenished.

The main thing is that it is a strategic position to fill the gaps, but now there is no such thing as a mixed brigade, and it is mixed according to the way of synthesis.

In peacetime, the training and weaponry are all in accordance with the highest standards of the military region, and the strategic position is different, and the establishment of such a large five battalions is suddenly made.

It's a bit nondescript.

At that time, Chen Ming was quite puzzled, but now looking back, I am afraid that there was already an idea of strengthening the 169th Brigade above.

The chief of staff of the brigade said at that time that it was because the strategic position of the mixed brigade was unclear and prone to change, and it would not affect the overall situation.

"Tut-tut, no wonder the political commissar is in a hurry to introduce you to the object, it seems that there is really going to be a big move above."

Du Longfei took the documents of the military region, flipped through them, and looked at them over and over again, just a fax, and the few sentences printed on it were almost torn by him, so he reluctantly handed them to the instructor.

"I don't want it, I've read it all, just twenty or thirty words, you can read it for a long time." Zhang Jintao pushed Du Longfei aside in disgust.

Turned his head to look at Chen Ming.

"Lao Chen, depending on the situation, it is estimated that the war zone will take a long time."

"Because once our number here is granted, it is equivalent to directly belonging to the theater of operations, and there will be some confusion at present, how to strengthen the 709th Division, how to arrange a new station, and how to train."

"How to co-ordinate, it's all a bunch of things."

"This is not in a hurry, the key is that the political commissar said that what are you going to do about the sorority? To meet? ”

"Of course I want to see it, can the state send a daughter-in-law?" Du Longfei raised his eyebrows, and after taking over the conversation, he ran into the car and groped for a long time, and took out the party documents that the political commissar signed up for Chen Ming.

Said it was a document, more like a photo album with some lesbians who also signed up.

Of course, anyone can see that the vast majority of registrations are made by political cadres like Xu Guoyang, who cut first and then played, and only talked to the parties after registering.

That's what they like to do.

"Phew"

Smacking a little saliva on his fingers, Du Longfei began to look through it with interest.

Just look at it, this product also acts as a mentor and starts to comment.

"Huh? This is good, this is not bad, and he looks energetic, a scientific research technician of the air defense brigade, 32 years old this year, major, well, a little older. ”

"Hey, this is wonderful, the little girl in the phone company, 28 years old, just wears black-framed glasses and looks at the aura of a big girl, a little dull, not worthy of Lao Chen."

"Yo he, engineer of the UAV Brigade of the Special Operations Brigade, this looks okay, 31 years old, lieutenant colonel, or from Sichuan and Shu, this middle, Sichuan and Shu female dolls talk about it, you know that Sazi is called soft, and it is interesting to speak."

"Heh, this one can too"

When Du Longfei was fascinated by the study, Zhang Jintao snatched the folder and said with a speechless face: "Old Du, you are also the battalion commander, be serious."

"This is the sorority prepared by the political commissar for Lao Chen, you are studying a fart there."

"I'm afraid of an egg, Lao Chen is not an outsider, what's wrong with me helping him to serve as a staff officer?" Du Longfei laughed twice, and looked at Chen Ming, who was silent.

"Lao Chen, what do you think?"

"You can't refuse the political commissar's kindness, it's about your promotion, you can't be careless."

"I don't know."

Chen Ming spread his hands, this kind of sorority has no meaning, if he is also in his thirties, it is okay if he is in a hurry, you can go and see, this kind of success rate is quite high.

But the current situation is that he needs to start a family, or the people above feel that he wants to start a family, and the purpose of participating in the sorority under this premise is too clear.

It's not necessary to be irresponsible for yourself, and it's not responsible for others.

Du Longfei and Zhang Jintao saw that Chen Ming was so resistant, and they couldn't say anything.

Let's take it step by step, anyway, don't be in a hurry, the most important thing at the moment is not to do any sorority.

The trio ended the joke.

Returning to the battalion headquarters, he began to discuss the next plan of the fifth battalion, including the change of the establishment of each company, the armored infantry company as a pilot company, and the change to the fire company.

The whole battalion is responsible for discipline and exemplary work, and everything is in full swing.

The battalion party committee and the general staff department performed their duties and began to get busy.

Time flies.

Soon a month passed.

At this time, it has entered June, the hot summer is coming, and the morning is a little better, quite cool.

The fifth battalion vehicle artillery field gathered the soldiers of the whole battalion early in the morning, and even the battalion headquarters, engineers, and cooking squads were all present.

Everyone was busy with small shovels, brooms, and shovels, and they were new to the camp, and there had been no major events before.

But today is different.

Today is the day when their five battalions are officially awarded the number and the battalion flag.

Battalion commander Du Longfei stood at the gate of the artillery yard and shouted loudly: "Then give me everything, be serious, and clean up all the sanitation here."

"The company commanders arranged for someone to mark out the personnel list of your entire company, including the original unit, today and hand it over to the battalion headquarters."

"As long as our fifth battalion is established today, the number is awarded, and it becomes the official combat sequence of the people's army, even if I am busy for a month, I will transfer all the food relations of all our comrades into it."

"From today on, we are also children raised by our father's mother, not raised by our stepmother, cheer me up, don't let me see who wilts today, it's like losing your soul, then don't blame me for cleaning you up."

"Today is the birthday of our fifth battalion, and it is a day worth remembering."

"Wait a minute, there will be a ceremony in this field, and the camp flag will be awarded here, and we will all welcome a new beginning here, and we must clean up."

"Do you understand?"

"Understand !!"

In the car artillery field, in the crowd, a high-pitched response kept coming out.

Today is indeed a day to be happy about.

Chen Ming led all the staff of the General Staff, and also came over with shovels and shovels to help.

The area of the car artillery field is large enough, but it doesn't matter, there are many people in the five battalions, and they are full of energy.

Their task is to clean up the flat area of the car artillery field, even if there is a raised dirt bag, to pat him flat.

Even a few weeds will be discovered by sharp-eyed warriors and uprooted.

From the action, it can be seen how happy the fighters of the fifth battalion are at this time.

Can you not be happy?

The flag awarding ceremony and the awarding of the number are of self-evident significance to a unit and must be treated solemnly.

After the battalion commander Du Longfei and instructor Zhang Jintao arranged their work, they also joined the sorting brigade in full swing.

The whole battalion was peaceful and energetic, and soon the open space of the car artillery field was cleaned up.

Ma Hongjie, the commander of the armored infantry company, ran to the joint logistics department early in the morning to borrow banners, flowers, and red carpets, and took the soldiers to arrange the venue together.

A group of people were busy.

After a month's rectification, there hasn't been much progress in synthesizing even in this area, and it's relatively difficult in itself.

It takes little by little time to slowly grind in, and these things can't be rushed.

But if you want to talk about the overall quality and cohesion of the soldiers of the fifth battalion, it is far beyond a month ago.

It was eight o'clock in the morning.

In the anticipation of everyone's eyes, six military vehicles drove towards the fifth battalion.

Battalion commander Du Longfei, instructor Zhang Jintao, and chief staff officer Chen Ming stood at the entrance of the artillery yard to greet them.

The other warriors had already formed a line, standing there waiting for the arrival of the leader above.

The roar of the car engine was heard, and many of the soldiers in the line clenched their fists excitedly.

No matter how good their performance was in the past and how brilliant their achievements were in the large-scale military training, in the real sense, it was the first time that a leader from above had come over on the land of their fifth battalion.

The vehicle stopped steadily, and brigade commander Wang Junwei, political commissar Xu Guoyang, chief of staff Xu Wenqian, and Feng Chunyang, commander-in-chief of the 71st Army, who finally got off the car, appeared at the entrance of the car artillery field.

The comrades of the rear military district held a folded red flag in both hands, although the flag had not yet been unfurled.

Several people present began to get excited.

That is the glory that all the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion have earned with several months of hard work, not only the flags, but also a stack of honorary certificates, which is the collective second-class merit they fought for on the battlefield of large-scale military training.

These honors, which originally belonged to the five battalions, are all here today.

Du Longfei, Zhang Jintao, and Chen Ming have changed into regular clothes, stood upright and saluted.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, report to Comrade Brigade Commander, Comrade Political Commissar, Comrade Chief of Staff, all the personnel of the Fifth Composite Battalion have been assembled, and the executor, Du Longfei, commander of the Fifth Battalion, please ask the chief for instructions."

"Yes, very good."

Commander-in-chief Feng Chunyang praised it, strode past the three of them, came to the open space in front of the car artillery field, and looked up at the rows of soldiers lined up neatly in the distance, their eyes flashing with hope.

The armored infantry company parked all the armored vehicles in the rear, and the fighters stood in line at the front.

The resolute face and heroic posture brought Feng Chunyang a different style.

Tank companies, artillery batteries, engineering detachments, helicopter squadrons, and so on.

All of them parked their tanks and fighters in the rear, and the fighters stood in front in formation, more than a thousand people, more than two hundred tanks.

They were forced to occupy the posture of a million heroes.

Feng Chunyang nodded, and strode up to the high platform prepared by the fifth battalion for this ceremony, he also climbed up step by step from the grassroots level, without so many twists and turns.

You don't need anyone to come over and be a host and talk about a lot of opening remarks or something.

Standing on the high platform, looking at the majestic figures under the stage, as well as the expectant eyes of all the five battalions, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Comrades, I know that you are very excited at this moment, and this is the final result of your efforts. ”

"My mood is as happy as yours, because I see the spirit of soldiers, the indomitable will, and the momentum of daring to fight from you."

"You've been waiting for this day for a long time, haven't you?"

"Yes, Chief!!"

Under the stage, all the soldiers of the fifth battalion roared loudly, as if they wanted to convey all their spirit through their voices.

"Okay, now I can inform the comrades that you have waited."

"Although I came a little late, no one can take away the glory that belongs to you, and today's moment is worth remembering for all of us, and it is also the birthday of your five battalions."

"Of course, from today onwards, you may have to change your title, not the fifth battalion, but the third battalion."

Three Battalions?!!

Feng Chunyang's words made the soldiers in the audience look confused, and when Chen Ming took the number from the brigade headquarters at that time, he did not make a battalion-wide announcement.

This in itself is an uncertain thing, but who knows, there has been no movement for a month, and last night it was suddenly announced that the battalion flag would be awarded to the fifth battalion today.

Looking at the puzzled soldiers in the audience, Feng Chunyang didn't plan to explain more, and beckoned to the side, Xu Guoyang, the political commissar of the 169th Brigade, walked quickly to the stage and handed over the draft document in his hand.

Feng Chunyang glanced at it and raised his hand to suppress the somewhat restless crowd.

He smiled and said: "Comrades, don't discuss it first, the specific arrangements will be explained later, and I will announce the number of your three battalions." ”

Bang Bang Bang !!

At the entrance of the car artillery field, Chen Ming and several of them took the lead in applauding, and in an instant, more than 1,000 soldiers in the entire field applauded in unison.

The applause was thunderous and resounded through the heavens.

Whether it is the fifth battalion or the third battalion, they have finally let them have their own establishment, and their past efforts have finally paid off.

After waiting for about twenty seconds before the applause slowly subsided, Feng Chunyang picked up the manuscript and read it in a loud voice: "According to the joint order of the Army Command of the Military Department and the Eastern Theater Command, the five battalions under the 169th Brigade of the 71st Army of the former Eastern Theater are officially appointed as: 709th Division of the 71st Group Army of the Eastern Theater, 3rd Battalion of the 063rd Mechanized Synthetic Regiment of the 169th Mechanized Synthetic Brigade."

"The 709th Division, codenamed the Strategic Assault Division, is codenamed the Third Synthetic Battalion: Tiger Wolf Battalion."

"Comrades, this is an unparalleled glory, and it also comes from the affirmation of the head of the military department and the head of the theater of operations, and it is also the achievements and dignity that you have fought hard with your sweat."

"Next, there is Brigade Commander Wang Junwei, who personally awarded the flag to the Tiger Wolf Battalion."

Feng Chunyang's resolute and resolute personality was fully revealed here, and after announcing the number and codename, he walked off the high platform without hesitation.

At this time, all the soldiers of the fifth battalion were excited but at the same time a little confused.

The fifth battalion was replaced by the third battalion, except that they were not used to it, the others were fine, anyway, they didn't disperse people.

But the question is, where did the 709 Division come from?

And what about the strategic assault divisions?

Since the division was transformed into a brigade, the army has no division-level units except for the Kyoto garrison, southern Xinjiang, and the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region?

But at this time, no one explained to them, and the flag awarding ceremony of the Tiger Wolf Camp began.

A group of soldiers with confusion and excitement looked up at the brigade commander in unison.

Tiger Wolf Battalion, this kind of bloody, attack-rich code name, satisfies all the fantasies of being a soldier, whether it is the third battalion or the fifth battalion.

From then on, the Tiger Wolf Battalion is their code name, and they can proudly introduce themselves wherever they leave the barracks and go to any unit.

They are from the 709th Division, the Tiger Wolf Battalion, although there is only this one battalion in the entire division at present, and the other units have not changed their numbers, but that is also an honor.

The future Eastern Theater Strategic Assault Division was the earliest and only code name awarded by the Military Department.

The presentation of the flag began.

The eyes of all the fighters are once again on the front, code name, that is the glory of the entire unit.

The flag is the soul of a combat unit.

At this time, no one was more agitated than the fighters of the fifth battalion.

Du Longfei, Zhang Jintao, and Chen Ming stood neatly at the front of the queue, ready to receive the flag.

Brigade commander Wang Junwei personally served as the flag bearer, and the two guards behind him hung submachine guns as flag guards.

The ceremony was not very solemn, but it shocked everyone present.

Wang Junwei stretched out his hands to hold the camp flag and shouted, "Let's go -—— together." ”

The voice fell, and the footsteps moved.

The flag bearer, the flag guard, stepped on the standard pace, and sent the battalion flag to Du Longfei's hands, and the moment he received the flag, all the commanders of the fifth battalion and all the soldiers stared at the flag in the hands of the battalion commander.

No one knows what is going on in their hearts, and perhaps even they themselves can't describe how they feel at the moment.

But there is no doubt that at this moment, in their hearts, all the previous efforts are worth it.

After Du Long flew the camp flag, he unfolded it without hesitation, turned around and waved the flag at the more than a thousand soldiers behind him.

Hunt in the wind.

All the soldiers of the car artillery field looked at the bright flags, looked solemn, and saluted in unison.

No matter how solemn the flag ceremony is, it is impossible to let a brigade commander or a dignified colonel serve as the flag bearer according to the past, but today, they have done it in the Tiger Wolf Battalion, which is also a rare honor.

Wang Junwei saw all the soldiers saluting, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and strode to the stage.

"Comrades, from this moment on, you have your own number and your own battalion flag."

"The military flag is a symbol of your unity and unified command, as well as the honor of soldiers, it is the soul that carries the soul of a unit, and it is also a representative of life and death."

"Do you understand the meaning?"

"Sworn to the death. Sworn Guards, Sworn Guards"

As Wang Junwei's voice fell, all the soldiers on the vehicle artillery field roared, and the sound was higher than one wave, shaking the sky and rushing out of the sky.

This momentum even moved many of the senior officers from the military region who came over to the military region present.

The gradual progress of the Tiger Wolf Battalion was not long, and it could even be said to be very short, but the morale and determination shown by the whole battalion were not weaker than those of other combat units at all.

A new unit can form a cohesive force in such a short period of time, and all the personnel are veterans drawn from other units, so that they can be so supportive of a new unit in a short period of time.

Feng Chunyang knows very well, and Wang Junwei also knows very well that the core lies in the commander of this army.

The eyes of the two focused on Chen Ming in front of the line at the same time, and Chen Ming was also raising his arms and shouting at this time.

From him, the two seemed to see their younger selves.

Satisfied nodded slightly.
