Boom Boom!!

On the training ground of the third battalion, the reorganized firepower company was being disrupted and confronted with the tank company, and the tiger and wolf battalion was considered to have caught up with a good time.

After the number was awarded, as the only battalion of the strategic assault division at present, the force was also quite high, and there was nothing else, and the artillery barrel was enough.

Just like what Chen Ming said at the meeting, as a follow-up professional blue army unit, their main responsibility is to fight, and the ace troops in the Eastern Theater will grasp a lot of them, and it will not be possible to train their combat effectiveness.

In the unlikely event that the strategic assault division was hammered by the Red Army and blocked at the gate of the garrison and shelled with artillery at the time of the exercise, the commander above would have to jump to his feet.

Therefore, the scale of training in the Tiger Wolf Battalion is still not small, and the ammunition reserves are sufficient, and the only requirement above is to train as soon as possible to achieve results.

At present, the focus of the entire theater is focused on the strategic assault division, and the entire strategic assault division is staring at the tiger and wolf battalions.

In the past week, Chen Ming has also realized the importance of combat effectiveness, completely delegated power, and no longer exercised any command, and every day he either stood in the command center of the battalion headquarters to watch them fight, or ran to the training ground to watch them at close range.

The whole process of finding problems and finding deficiencies forced the members of the party committee and the cadres of the battalion party committee to practice synthetic command, and the speed of progress was not fast, but the situation of the whole battalion was developing towards regularization and template.

Seven days have passed since I returned from Chai Shuyao's house in Jinling, a full week later.

Morning of the eighth day.

Chen Ming, as usual, stood at the training ground and watched the firepower company command the operation, holding a record book in his hand to record in detail the details of the mistakes made in the daily combat command.

When I observe the details.

"Crunch."

A sound of the handbrake sounding from behind, and the instructor Zhang Jintao and the staff clerk Kong Wu hurriedly got out of the car.

"Lao Chen, hurry, don't be busy, the brigade department is calling, let you go quickly."

Zhang Jintao trotted over in a hurry, looking at the situation quite urgently.

"Hurry up, don't delay your efforts, Xiao Wu has packed your luggage, just put it in the car, just send me a letter when you get home."

Zhang Jintao said, glanced at the contents of the record book, and grinned secretly, Chen Ming is serious about his work, but in the entire tiger and wolf camp, there is no one busier than him.

It's no wonder that the companies are very dependent on the General Staff, there is no way, with an officer like Chen Ming standing here, most of the problems can be solved, and it will indeed save a lot of time.

Let the exploration of synthetic combat avoid detours.

Chen Ming, who was watching the battle, heard the instructor's voice and looked back at the vehicle.

Kong Wu was standing next to the car, and the backpack could be faintly seen in the back seat of the car.

smiled helplessly: "Isn't it just that the brigade department asked me to come over, so I can pack all my things?"

"It's not like I'm going to advocate for you, you have a complaint and go to the brigade commander to say, that's what the brigade headquarters said."

Zhang Jintao spread his hands and said that he was very innocent, and yesterday he called Chen Ming to report to work and mention the matter of annual leave.

As a result, this kid ran back without saying a word, and returned to the training ground, and today a phone call came to the battalion headquarters, and it was a scolding to split his head and cover his face, and the instructor couldn't stand such a rectification.

No, just pack up your things and let Chen Ming go to the brigade headquarters to make a report.

"Okay, hurry up, I asked you to take leave to go back yesterday, how can you get married and not be active."

"You don't have to worry about the arrangement in the battalion, the firepower will not change much in even twenty days, with Lao Cheng and several of their experienced staff officers following Lao Du to study, it's not too bad."

Zhang Jintao couldn't help but pull Chen Ming and asked him to stop recording.

"Hurry up and report to the brigade headquarters, if you lack a best man to call the battalion when you get married, I will choose from more than 1,000 young men in the battalion to ensure that all of them are faced."

"If you need a bridesmaid, don't look for me, I'm not familiar with this business."

"If you need to serve dishes, I can arrange a few for you, and you can figure out the rest."

While the two were talking, Zhang Jintao almost pushed him into the car, Kong Wu saw this, and hurriedly sat in the driver's seat, his task today was to send Staff Officer Chen home.

The location of the 169th Brigade is about 100 kilometers away from Pengcheng, and it is about 50 kilometers from the city to home, and the total distance is not far from Jinling.

Looking at this posture, it is not possible to leave this day without invitation.

It's not that Chen Ming doesn't worry about his marriage, three months is indeed too sudden for himself a week ago, shocking the old man's resolute temper.

Now calm down and think about it again, no matter how big the wedding is, it can be done for him clearly in three months, not less than one or two days.

Two days ago, when Chen Ming and Chai Shuyao were talking on the phone, they mentioned that Chai Yansong had taken Chai Shuyao's father Chai Jiancheng and his mother Yan Xiaoyun, that is, his father-in-law and mother-in-law to the house.

I also brought some expensive wine and tea, and my parents were quite happy when they received them at home, and even yesterday, when my mother Hu Caixia called, she kept nagging about her family affairs and asked him to go back quickly.

The woman's family took the initiative to come to the man's house, and their family didn't know how to count etiquette, and if Chen Ming didn't go back, it would be even more ignorant.

What's more, now in the town, there are still some bad rumors circulating in the village, and the specific bad ones are not said on the phone.

just urged Chen Ming to hurry back, it was important to prepare for the wedding.

The family urged it, and the camp also began to urge it.

It seems that it is not possible to go back today.

Chen Ming nodded, handed the record book in his hand to Zhang Jintao and said with a smile: "Instructor, there are some inconsistencies in today's command recorded here. ”

"Please wait and send it to the General Staff, let Lao Cheng and the others review it, and have a meeting in the evening to lay out all these problems."

"I'm not afraid of many problems in the early stage, I'm afraid that I can't find the problem and can't solve the problem."

"Okay, okay, go back quickly, on the day of the wedding, I will discuss with Lao Du who will go, and when the time comes, I will bring it to you, and I won't send you today."

Zhang Jintao took the record book, stood in place and waved his hand, and watched the vehicle drive out of the training ground.

That's when he breathed a sigh of relief.

Brigade headquarters.

"Hello Brigadier!" Chen Ming came to the chief's office, stood upright, and saluted.

"I'm such a fart."

Brigade Commander Wang Junwei looked at Chen Ming, who was calm in front of him, and he was angry.

With a "snap", he slapped the proof of going out on the table.

"You kid got married, did you marry Lao Tzu? Let me follow you behind your ass all day long? ”

"Yesterday I asked you to come over to write an annual leave application, didn't I tell you that you could go home directly in the afternoon, hurry up and do your business, don't rub it on me here."

"You're good, turn around and go back to work, do you have to call Lao Tzu's office from the war zone and ask you about your current situation?"

"Knock on the side and ask you if you have annual leave, so that you feel comfortable, don't you?"

"Get out, get out of here with your exit certificate, and remember to call the brigade on a good day."

Wang Junwei waved his hand impatiently, it seemed to be scolding, but it was also a love for Chen Ming, who doesn't like a dedicated person?

But don't be too dedicated.

At the very least, it is necessary to divide the time, and the private affairs of the chief's family on the other side of the theater will not be taken care of, but if the news reaches the military region, the headquarters will call at every turn to inquire about the situation.

Who can withstand it?

The sophistication of human feelings is especially obvious in the army, and in many cases even more than in the outside world.

When asked, people are still in the army and haven't returned, what will the above think?

The granddaughter of the political commissar of the war zone is going to get married, this matter is not big, it is not small, Chai Yansong has been in the army all his life, and the officers brought out are all over the war zone.

The old man's granddaughter is going to get married, can these people not be enthusiastic about asking?

As a result, I called and asked, the prospective grandson-in-law has not gone back yet, he is still busy in the army, even the old man himself has been to the house, and Chen Mingren is still in the army.

In the past two days, Wang Junwei has not done anything else, but he has answered the phone here, and every time he mentions this matter, he is embarrassed to say it.

It's unreasonable to be reasonable, it's like he won't let people go.

Can you not be angry?

Seeing that the brigade commander was so angry, Chen Ming could also guess a rough idea, raised his hand and scratched his chin and smiled: "Hehe, brigade commander, I didn't think about asking for leave, it doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or a day later."

"At present, the third battalion firepower company has just been established, and there are many things, and some of them can't leave."

"You don't have to worry about this, Chief of Staff Xu will go over to help take care of the point, why should you go."

"Yes, Brigadier."

Chen Ming grinned and grabbed the certificate on the table, turned around and strode away.

Watching the people leave, Wang Junwei also breathed a sigh of relief.

Directly arranged for the clerk to come here to answer the phone, he planned to go to the third camp to go around, and for several days in a row, there were departments coming to call, and he was tired of being crooked.

Originally, the Strategic Assault Division was established, and there were all kinds of calls coming in from his side, and now Chen Ming's file has been added, can it not make him irritable.

Brigade parking lot.

Kong Wu saw Chen Ming coming down, and hurriedly opened the door of the back seat, "Staff Officer Chen, shall we go back now?" ”

"Go home."

"Okay."

Kong Wu agreed, quickly got into the car and started, and stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the outside of the military region.

This time I went home, which was different from the previous training from the dragon's tooth, when I still needed to change trains and take the shuttle bus all the way back by myself, but now it is different.

Not because of his position, nor because of his ability, the battalion arranged for Kong Wu to send him home, and there was no need to think that it must have been specially explained by the brigade headquarters.

There is no other reason, I just want to see him sent back.

Because he set off relatively early and did not wait for the shuttle, the detour delayed time, and Chen Ming had already arrived in Wei County before noon.

Looking at the familiar roads and familiar shops in the county, he felt very kind when he looked at the bustling crowd on the street after being in the barracks for a long time.

Chen Ming pointed outside and said, "Don't go back first, go to Xingmei Square in the old city to buy a few clothes."

"Okay."

Kong Wu agreed, took out his mobile phone and began to navigate.

Chen Ming looked out the window, lost his mind for a while, his parents were honest farmers, and he had the impression that his grandfather was also an old man in the textile factory in the eighties and nineties, and later gave up the quota in the factory to his father when he was not in good health.

In the past, their Chen family was also considered a salaryman, but unfortunately, with the arrival of the first wave of layoffs in the 90s, his father Chen Qianghe was not good at giving gifts and would not be able to stammer.

The name of his father was included in the first batch of laid-off lists, and later he relied on some odd jobs to farm to support his family's livelihood, and the family's conditions were not very good.

These are all things he heard from his third uncle when he was a child.

For so many years, he didn't pay attention to the situation at home when he was studying, and he didn't read well.

Now that I think about it, my parents don't seem to have worn much decent clothes for so many years, so I took advantage of this marriage to buy myself a few clothes and buy a few clothes for my parents.

It is the first time that he has done his filial piety as a son.

When he came to the mall, Chen Ming picked out two summer casual clothes for himself, and did not buy wedding clothes.

I also bought a few summer and autumn clothes for my parents, and I also bought a few clothes, Chen Ming's current position is a major, and he can get more than 11,000 yuan per month with a basic salary, plus various allowances and subsidies, about 14,000.

In peacetime, the troops have almost no expenses, and there is no problem in bearing these costs.

Because he was wearing a military uniform and a training uniform, Chen Ming's wandering around the mall really attracted a lot of attention, but fortunately, at this time, the army had canceled the rule that the army was not allowed to wear military uniforms unless going out on business, which was not a violation.

I even met some familiar people, flashing some fragmented and vague looks in the memory of the original owner, looking at the other party's appearance that they wanted to recognize but didn't dare to confirm.

Obviously, they have had some contact with Chen Ming, but it shouldn't be much, maybe they can't even call his name, they just look familiar.

Whenever he encountered this situation, Chen Ming stopped and smiled and nodded, and turned to leave.

Always with a kind smile on his face, ignoring the surprised eyes around him, some people who were sure that they had seen Chen Ming before couldn't help frowning, thinking back to where they had seen it.

In the end, I didn't think about it.

In fact, it is normal for Chen Ming to make meritorious contributions many times, and when the Weixian Armed Forces Department recruits soldiers every year, they are eager to put the photos and profiles on the propaganda vehicle and broadcast them day and night, and a few days ago they also sent a second-class meritorious service.

It looks familiar, it's too normal.

is now him, and the image in the video propaganda is completely different, at that time, he was full of spirit when he first entered the barracks, and he had a lot of momentum in everything, but now he has converged a lot.

After buying clothes, Chen Ming bought a cigarette on the first floor of the mall and went back to the village, these things are necessary, and after everything was ready, he took Kong Wu and strode out of the mall, got in the car, and drove all the way towards Yanziying Village.

"Staff Officer Chen, why don't you wait for me to take the shuttle bus when I go back, and leave the car at home for you."

"It can be busy before and after marriage, and it's much more convenient to have a car."

"No, you can just drive back, if I use the car to rent one, or go to the Ministry of Armed Forces to negotiate, this is easy to handle."

"Okay, what's the road?"

"You navigate the Yuandian intersection, turn directly to the intersection and go straight to the village of Yanziying, and you are not in a hurry in the afternoon, you will go back after eating at home."

"Okay."

The vehicle was driving fast on the road, all the way from the county seat of Weixian County to Yuandian Town, when Kong Wu just hit the steering wheel and was about to walk straight over, an old man in his seventies at the intersection should have just finished shopping in the town.

Get ready to walk back to the camp.

Chen Ming looked up at the old man, "Wait a minute, this is a village, our family is high, if you count it, I will call him brother." ”

"I'll go down and see, and if I go back, I'll give him a ride."

"Okay." Kong Wu looked at the old man outside curiously, this kind of argument generally appears in the countryside, and it is not uncommon to call him brother.

Some people who are rare in their seventies still have to call a few years old a baby uncle.

Chen Ming pushed the car door and got out of the car, he was not at home all the year round, if there was anything at home, he had to be a villager, and the neighbors would help him, so every time he came back, he would do his best to help the people in the village.

I hope that the people in the village can also help their parents more.

But when he came to the old man, Chen Ming opened his mouth and was stunned because he didn't know what to call him, he should be called brother according to his generation, but it is not too much to call him grandpa according to his age.

"Comrade soldiers? Which village are you from? Is it asking for directions? ”

Fortunately, the old man hadn't waited for Chen Ming to speak, he had already discovered him, and asked very politely.

Chen Ming glanced at the old man, smiled and said, "I'm from the Gang Camp, my name is Chen Ming, my father's name is Chen Qianghe, you don't know me anymore?" ”

"The kid of the Qianghe family?" The old man was obviously stunned, stared at Chen Ming's face for a long time, and then said with a stunned face: "Is it really a kid from the Chen family?" ”

Immediately afterwards, the old man frowned and seemed to be a little confused, and at the same time asked in surprise: "Didn't you die in the army?" ”

"Uh-huh?!!!" Hearing this, the bright smile on Chen Ming's face just now instantly froze.

After being stunned for a long time, he raised his eyebrows and held back a word: "Ah?!!"

Sacrifice?

What is this?

He only stayed at home during the Chinese New Year, and it has only been half a year at most since he left home, so why did the news of his sacrifice come out??

Even Kong Wu behind him was shocked, what the hell is going on??

Why did Staff Officer Chen die?

Chen Ming's head was even more buzzing, no wonder his mother was still a little angry and a little strange when she talked about some gossip in the village on the phone.

Although this is not a homecoming, but it is also a happy event, and now someone actually told him that he had died in the army?

The old man also seemed to see that something was wrong, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Chen family baby, don't care, this is all rumors in the town and in the village." ”

"A few days ago, your family had another good news, but it was not as lively as the previous times, there was no video to watch, and I didn't see you come back."

"What do you say is related to secrecy, but within two days, more than a dozen cars from the army came to your door, and they were all carrying guns and being imposing."

"So some people in the town speculated that you should have died in the army, and some people said that you lost the battle when you were fighting, and you were caught abroad by the old devils, and you worked hard every day to pick cotton, cut sugar cane, and harvest bananas for foreigners."

"Some people also say that you didn't sacrifice, and you didn't get caught by the old devil when you lost the war, but fled with a gun, and went to Xiangdao to plan a gold shop, and was directly caught and shot by the law enforcement team over there."

"Isn't there such a thing?"

"Me"

After listening to the old man's explanation, Chen Ming was stupid.

What the is this?
