Under a mountain ridge in the Niutoushan garrison base, Chen Ming carried a tripod on his shoulders and fixed the equipment on the ground, ready to survey this new terrain.

Some people say that if satellites can do their jobs in the new era, they don't need manpower to map and map, but this statement is very incomplete.

At least for now, Chen Ming has always measured the entire garrison base with his legs with a team of one or two hundred people from the firepower department and the reconnaissance company.

Even the abacus beads were used.

In the past half a month, Chen Ming has personally led the team, never doing anything special, eating and living with soldiers and technicians, and his daily work is to carry a tripod in his hand, his eyes are staring at the total station, holding the drawings in his hands, holding a pencil in his mouth, and gradually reducing the terrain to the drawings according to the proportion.

At work, he has never been afraid of difficulties, and he specializes in traveling and inspecting and working in complex weather.

For the recorded data, Chen Ming leads by example, strives to be accurate, and is dedicated to combat, when the cruise calibration can be without error, or the error is within a few centimeters.

In Chen Ming's words, that is the planned firepower of the firepower department, if you want to cover the entire base, you must understand the entire base.

In just over half a month, whether it was the leaders of the division headquarters, several battalion commanders of the directly subordinate units, and the cadres of the firepower department, they all gave a thumbs up when they mentioned this Chen office.

This guy was born in artillery, and served as the chief staff officer and fire staff officer of the synthetic battalion, and he is more familiar with many methods of surveying and mapping than many full-time personnel in the department.

The reconnaissance company directly under the division is a carefully selected elite soldier and a king of soldiers, but these soldiers are running thin legs, and they have never run past the newcomer.

In terms of level, Chen Ming is the highest here, and he can command nothing at all, and the Chen family has two members, one is in charge of topographic surveying and mapping, arranging the war department, distributing battlefield firepower, and battlefield referees, and has the right to mobilize combat troops at any time to station anywhere in the new station and perform tasks.

Wherever there is a drive in the firepower department, the strategic assault division, from the brigade to the company, must be carried out, and the power is terrifying.

A propaganda ambassador in charge of the new garrison leads a group of propaganda officers everywhere to engage in business all day long, and it can be said that there are many people in the new garrison base who do not know the division commander.

But if you don't know the two heads of the Fire Department and the Propaganda Department, you are somewhat blind.

Thanks to the conscientious work of these two departments, the appearance of the Niutoushan garrison base began to appear in front of the eyes of other units one after another.

The staggering steps of the survey and mapping walked through the entire garrison base, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance company directly under the command who followed them were also happy to work with such a chief.

Even when someone from the Propaganda Department interviewed them, their company commander was full of pride.

It is also a gesture of youth to say that youth is brilliant by tempering, and life is sublimated by struggle, and it is also a gesture of youth to be able to map and map the entire Niutoushan garrison base.

Don't talk about the mission, don't talk about the task, just talk about the meaning of youth.

There are even rumors that in the Eastern Theater, several heroic combat units have been unable to bear it and want to go to a new base to challenge the so-called Blue Army.

The blue army responded even more with a roar, and there was a posture of starting if they didn't agree, and today's red and blue operations have been quite mature.

There are a lot of rules that need not be talked about, and they are all waiting for the day of engagement.

"Left, go to the left for fifty centimeters, hey, yes, measure with your thumb first, then multiply by ten times, and exercise your ability more, old bear squad leader."

"Here."

"Help me take down the drawings and stand still."

"Yes."

Xiong Jiu smiled for a long time, patted the dust on his hands, took the drawings and said: "Chen, don't call me Lao Xiong squad leader, just call me Lao Xiong."

"You are the chief, and you always call me the squad leader, so that other comrades can't be called."

"It's okay, you are my squad leader, you used to be in the second border company, and you will be in the future, don't worry about those, you should call the veteran squad leader."

Chen Ming smiled and posed a prism, ready to continue working at the foot of the mountain.

He is a grateful person, and he still remembers that when he went to the war on the eve of his birthday, the old bear squad leader mentioned several times that he wanted to protect himself, asking him not to rush so hard, and to follow behind the squad leader.

Although he didn't need this kind of care, there was no doubt that Xiong Jiuchang was a very respectable old squad leader, regardless of youth and seniority.

"Bald, what are you doing there, jumping up and down, sitting next to you to rest when you're tired, practicing more when you're not tired, what are you running around?"

Chen Ming turned his head to observe the team, and saw Shen Zufei running around with a tripod, worried that his body would not be able to bear it.

Xiong Jiuchang and the two of them both injured their lungs, but the Xiong squad leader recovered well, and the bald man was more seriously injured, and if a lot of physical work was too heavy, it was no longer suitable for drying.

But this kid can't be idle, and he has to find some work for himself when he doesn't have a job, so many people remind him from time to time, for fear that the bald man will go to the infirmary in private to prescribe painkillers to eat.

This situation has not happened once or twice, and Chen Ming scolded him every time.

In fact, everyone understands and understands the loneliness and wandering of a border soldier leaving the place he wants to protect the most, hoping to do more work to make himself feel better.

But this guy's nerve reflex arc is too long, and more than a year has passed, and it's only a little better than when he first came.

"Come on, come on, here, tools."

With the arrival of the team, the fighters of the rear reconnaissance company also began to work, and everyone got busy.

Just when Chen Ming was holding the prism and was about to devote himself to a new day's work, Yang Linhui, the secretary of the political commissar of the division headquarters, hurriedly came over from behind.

"Chen! Major Chen, hey! It's not easy to find you. ”

"Hurry up, come with me to the division headquarters, Wang Shi and Political Commissar Xu are here, I have something to do with you, I'll go to the firepower to see if you're there."

"Ask the comrades at the sentry post that you led the team out again."

Yang Linhui is the officer who picked him up from the upper floor when Chen Ming first went to the division headquarters to report.

Since the fire department and the unit building of the division headquarters are next to each other, not far away, and the work needs will often come and go, so the two gradually got acquainted.

"What's the matter, Lao Yang, so anxious?" Chen Ming straightened the prism and handed it to the bald man next to him to stare at, while he took off his gloves and asked.

"Hey, it must be a good thing, Master Wang is here, and a lot of work needs to be implemented."

"It is estimated that there are new instructions above, it must be a good thing for you, I heard that you are going to be promoted."

"Promotion?"

Chen Ming muttered, not taking it too seriously.

It's not that he floated, but that many people in the 704th Division have changed too much and have not been promoted.

Not to mention far away, Zhang Jintao, the former instructor of the Tiger Wolf Battalion. Now he is the director of the political department of the 169th Brigade of the 704th Division, a cadre at the regimental level, and he still has two cents and two cents.

Many former battalion commanders served as chiefs of staff and regiment commanders of the main combat regiment, and they also hung two cents and two cents, and he was in a hurry to have two cents and one hair.

Can there be a promotion ceremony dedicated to him?

His face isn't so white.

"Oh, by the way, when I went to your firepower just now, I saw that Battalion Commander Du was also there, and he said that he was giving you a gift."

"I sent a comrade from the second phase, who looks like a tiger, and he was standing at the sentry post and chatting with the sentry when I first went."

Yang Linhui seemed to remember something, and added.

"Giving it away?" Chen Ming frowned, he didn't look for someone from the Tiger Wolf Camp.

But soon, Chen Ming remembered who it was, and just came to chat with the sentry, this style was undoubtedly confirmed, and others were not so interested.

Thinking of this comrade-in-arms who had been staying together in the recruit company, the corner of Chen Ming's mouth subconsciously showed a smile.

In the past, he couldn't take care of himself, he was unstable, and he couldn't help his comrades too much, but now he has made some small achievements, and the people who can take care of him naturally have to take care of it.

He came, and the fire was more lively later.

Chen Ming had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to the staff next to him: "You guys are busy here first, remember, the surveying and mapping work is related to the landing point of our Blue Army's shells in the future."

"Don't be sloppy with me, if there is a war in the future, the shells can be crooked, it will not be enough for the Red Army bunnies to laugh at."

"I'll go to the division headquarters and come back when I'm done."

"Staff Officer Deng."

"Here."

"Supervise the work here, slowly, you can, but you can't make mistakes."

"The measurement of coordinates must be accurate and there must be no negligence."

"First walk through the machine, measure it manually several times, not only draw it on the drawing, but also remember every place we walk in our minds."

"Once the war starts, you will be a living map of the entire Niutoushan garrison base, without any tools, as long as you mention the coordinates and directions, you will form a complete topographic map in your mind."

"Only in this way can our troops be invincible here, and the localities can't figure it out, and they still have a hammer fight? What kind of Blues? ”

"Understood?"

"Yes, don't worry, Chen, I promise to complete the task."

"Hmm."

Chen Ming nodded, and then he was relieved to follow the documents from the division headquarters to report.

It's not that his work is demanding, but the current task of the firepower department is very important, and if it is not done well, then it is impossible to say.

Divisional headquarters.

Wang Junwei, commander of the Strategic Assault Division, Xu Guoyang, political commissar, and Xu Wenqian, chief of staff, gathered together to pass through the entire Niutoushan garrison base through the pictures dropped by high-altitude drones in the conference room of the division headquarters.

Seeing that the various stations have been engaged in intense recovery work, although the units have just arrived, all aspects are arranged in an orderly manner.

In the past two days, the logistics can be regarded as very busy, especially the personnel of the Joint Logistics Department, who are busy arranging the conference rooms and offices of various stations, painting slogans, and drawing lines.

The effect is naturally obvious.

In just a few days, the Niutoushan garrison base has become very lively from being uninhabited.

Judging from the high altitude, all the stations on all sides are on duty, and the replacement of old weapons with new weapons is also in full swing.

It's quite a thriving scene.

When Wang Junwei saw this scene, his eyes were even more relieved, Strategic Assault Division.

From the 169 Brigade of the Composite Mixed Formation, to the present.

How much energy has been invested in the two major theaters of war in the east and west, including the military departments, which have long-term chiefs stationed in the pilot units, keeping an eye on the development of the pilot units.

Fortunately, we have finally achieved some results.

However, this is far from enough, the Niutoushan garrison base is not to make it look good, but to make it a tempering ground for the entire war zone.

Become the heart of the entire theater of operations.

This is just the beginning.

Wang Junwei looked at the vast land and the thriving troops, sat in the conference room and said with a smile: "After a year or two of busy work, I finally saw some results."

"Hey, didn't you say that kid Chen Ming should come over to report for duty?"

"Why haven't you been here for so long?"

"Him?" Political Commissar Xu Guoyang shook his head helplessly, "That kid, you still don't know, it's like you're going to die if you do anything." ”

"No, I've been following the soldiers of the reconnaissance company to survey and map recently, and I've already arranged for someone to call me."

"The whole unit needs to be recorded by the fire department for the change of equipment, but he feels that this kind of thing is too boring, so he arranged for some comrades to be in charge in the past, and he ran to measure it again."

"The time should be almost up."

"Well, it's better to be busy, surveying and mapping is indeed more important for the current firepower department."

Wang Junwei had a smile on his face, Chen Ming was still quite relieved.

After asking and seeing that the guy didn't come, Wang Junwei took out a document from the table, put it on the desk and said, "Before I set off, the instructions have been given from the war zone. ”

"In recent days, there are three things to implement."

"First, on the current issue of low ranks and high allocation of our strategic assault divisions, some time ago, the personnel were directly deployed, and the issue of military rank was not considered."

"But this must be implemented as soon as possible, just these two days, Chief of Staff Xu, you can count it as soon as possible, and hold a promotion conference, which will be held at the division headquarters."

"Okay, this is easy, as long as there is an order from the war zone, at most the personnel list can be prepared this afternoon."

"Well, the second thing is the military parade on New Year's Day, and I believe many people have guessed that there is no need to issue orders in this war zone."

Wang Junwei said and pushed the document onto the desk, and continued: "Our time is very urgent, and the instructions from the theater are also very direct. ”

"So no matter what, we have to make this military parade a good job, which is an encouragement for our own people, and a deterrent to those ground rats hiding in the shadows."

"The request of the head of the theater is very direct, why is there a military parade at the Niutoushan base?"

"It's to tell everyone that we have a people's army, to tell our people that we have enough capacity to defend every inch of the country under our feet."

"Tell the people that we have enough confidence to protect our hundreds of millions of sons and daughters, so that the people can rest assured."

"At the same time, we must also strengthen a belief that the mountains and rivers are unharmed, and the heroic soul shines on the motherland."

Listening to Wang Junwei's words.

The political commissar and the chief of staff were all silent, and it was not easy for the people's soldiers to come to this day with the smoke of gunpowder, all the way through the rain of bullets, and all the way through the thorns and thorns.

The new garrison base in Niutoushan may not have any epoch-making significance, nor does it have the glory of hard work.

However, the people's army has come to this day step by step, in exchange for countless sweaty builders and guardians.

The military parade should be read out of national prestige.

There is nothing wrong with this demand from the theater side, but the problem is that the scope of such an order is too broad.

The current team of the new garrison base in Niutoushan is indeed strong, and the three synthetic regiments form an invincible steel torrent of the army, and they are confident that they have the confidence to complete this task.

But there are some fears that it will not be able to achieve what the people expect.

It's a tangled idea.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Wang Junwei waved his hand: "Well, about the New Year's Day military parade, when the time comes, I will rearrange it." ”

"There is one last thing that is also required by the war zone, and I plan to return this matter to the fire department."

"Compared with the Blue Army operational base in the central theater, the head of the theater said that we have one less gatehouse here, a more domineering gatehouse."

"Let all the Red Army who came to fight be able to see the signboard "Welcome to the Niutoushan Base". ”

"The chief above said that the façade must be in place, this is the signboard of our new base, doesn't Chen Ming know how to surveying and mapping? Don't you know how to do arithmetic? ”

"Let him measure and measure well, and see where our gatehouse should be set, my requirements are not high, this façade must be made more atmospheric for me."

"After at least a few battles, all the Red Army units shudder at the sight of the word "welcome". ”

"That's enough."

Hearing Wang Junwei's words, political commissar Xu Guoyang and chief of staff Xu Wenqian glanced at each other, and both smiled.

The requirements are not high, but it is just right to hand it over to Chen Ming's kid, anyway, he can't be idle, so give him the more difficult work.

After announcing the instructions of the war zone, Wang Junwei was about to get up, when there was a knock on the door with a "knock knock".

Hearing the voice, he knew who was coming, and sat down in the chair again, he hadn't seen Chen Ming for more than a year, and he planned to take a good look at the kid, the National Defense University had been studying for so long, did he make any progress.

"Enter."

There was a creak, and the conference room door was pushed open from the outside.

Chen Ming walked in, his eyes swept around, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted!

"Report to Comrade Division Commander, Comrade Political Commissar, Comrade Chief of Staff, Chen Ming of the 704th Division's Firepower Department, please instruct."

"It's hard for you kid to please." Wang Junwei stared at Chen Ming several times before he recognized it.

It has changed a lot for more than a year, bullying and tanning a lot, and I haven't been idle much when I come back from the plateau area, running at the base every day and working in the field.

However, the whole person gave him a different feeling than when he first went to report to the 169 Brigade.

At that time, Chen Ming was full of spirit and energy, and anyone who saw it thought that this young man was diligent, should have good ability, and was an acute man.

But now, that frizziness is gone, replaced by calm, restrained, and more stable.

"Tell me, what are you busy with all day?"

"Report to the division commander, comrade, busy leading the cadres of the reconnaissance company and the fire department, drawing, making a sand table, depicting the terrain of the entire base."

"It's convenient to fight later."

Chen Ming responded loudly, he really didn't invite credit, but if the three leaders were really waiting for him, it would indeed be a little inappropriate.

How much do you have to show your merits, and talk about your hard work.

"Alright, don't play your trick here, there's a new quest here, you see."

Wang Junwei pushed the documents on the table over.

Picking up the paper, Chen Ming glanced at it roughly, military parade, promotion, building a gate?

What's that?!!
