The central square, where tens of thousands of soldiers gathered, hunted with flags, and roared to the sky.

The majestic national anthem, the soldiers are roaring, and the people are singing, like a hurricane wind, sweeping the entire Niutoushan garrison base.

The loud singing sang the melody of the times in which the soldiers and the people struggled to forge ahead, and the voice carried the love for the motherland and the will to serve the national defense.

The mountains and rivers are safe, the country and the people are safe!!

The singing stopped, and on the parade platform, Chen Ming waved his hand, and the chariots on the main section of the central square restarted.

"Get on board!!"

When the order was given, the green dragon moved, and one after another soldiers who were originally standing, carrying steel guns, divided into torrents and entered the chariot.

There was no sound at the scene, only a strong fighting spirit.

Thundered.

The long dragon dances, swishing and swishing vehicle-mounted drones take off.

The chariot roared, and the team sorted.

The flow of people in the central square was reduced, and the outer cordon was removed, but most of the people did not rush forward, let alone hinder the direction of the chariots.

It's just that the crowd is enthusiastic, and thousands of people gather into a sea of people, constantly waving their arms, running from the other side, and following the chariot.

Excited, one could even say fanatical, shouting in unison Long live the motherland.

Every time they encounter such an extremely spectacular scene, the Chinese people can feel more and more that they live in a great country and feel proud and proud of their powerful motherland.

The departure of the chariot also heralded the end of this parade.

On the stage, division commander Wang Junwei, political commissar Xu Guoyang, chief of staff Xu Wenqian and others also began to leave one after another.

These chiefs estimated that it was time to go to the war zone for a meeting, and after the military parade on New Year's Day, the Niutoushan garrison base was about to enter combat preparations.

Chen Ming stood on the stage and looked at the troops in the distance, they were going to cross the three-gun gate and go to a slightly farther place to conduct a live-fire exercise.

On the contrary, the firepower department was suddenly idle, and the War Department, the Information Department, the Political and Administrative Department, and the General Staff Department did not issue precise combat orders, and they had nothing to do at all.

The gatehouse was built, the surveying and drawing of the entire base were completed, and the records of the new equipment were all handed over to the division headquarters.

Chen Ming felt that he had nothing to do, and it was a little difficult to adapt from being busy flying to having no tasks.

At present, in the entire fire department, only the garrison picket department is still in the training period and has not been put into use.

After all, it represents the image of the entire base, going out on duty, internal checks, the image is very important, and it takes at least a month of training to take up a serious post.

Chen Ming looked left and right, the parade was over, the comrades of the Joint Logistics Department began to put away the red carpet, the megaphone, and the comrades of the Propaganda Department were also putting away the instruments.

He couldn't be stupid and stand on the high platform all the time, get down from the parade platform along one side, and prepare to return fire to wait for the order of the division headquarters.

If you fight, you will definitely fight, it seems that it has to be someone from the 31st Army, oh, now it is the 73rd Group Army.

Chen Ming pondered and strode towards the fire.

"Daiakiko!! Da Mingzi ?!! ”

"Hey, don't you know the old brother anymore?"

Suddenly, on the other side of the parade platform, a lieutenant colonel ran over, baring his teeth and shouting in the back.

But Chen Ming still walked forward as if he didn't notice it, and helplessly, the lieutenant colonel behind him quickly followed, stretched out his hand and patted Chen Ming's shoulder.

There was dissatisfaction in his tone, mixed with excitement and roaring: "Da Mingzi, I called you just now, why didn't you respond?"

"I used to be a neighbor in the academy, and when I came back, I was also a brother who ate in a big pot, why did you still see outside?"

The shoulder was slapped suddenly, and a familiar voice was heard again, Chen Ming turned around and was speechless.

This product is really not an outsider, it is the old neighbor of the dormitory next door - Xie Canxiong during the study period at the National Defense University.

In the past, when the 704th Division had only one tiger and wolf battalion, this was a "pro-son" queue in the war zone, and I knew a lot of gossip.

It was only later that more and more troops were recruited, and the three military officers of the 169 Brigade were combined, and the military and political chief officers were not parachuted in, and they were smoothly transferred to the division headquarters.

It's not easy to use the "own son" directly under the theater, after all, the 704th Division is also directly under it, who can be worse than whom.

What's more, the top three are all veterans of the 169 Brigade, and they must be the closest to their own people.

No, the combat brigades directly under the theater are not fragrant.

It's just that the title of "Da Mingzi" directly can't fix Chen Ming, Nima, who has grown so big, no one has called it that.

That's why I didn't come over anyway just now.

"Why did you come back?" Chen Ming stared at Xie Canxiong in surprise, calculating the time, it will be more than half a month before the graduation of this batch of students from the National Defense University.

Doesn't it mean that the simulated combat in the future will be done step by step?

"What is this called? What do you call how did I come back, I was originally a person of the strategic assault division. Xie Canxiong pursed his mouth and put his arms around Chen Ming.

"In the future, I will be the commander of the first anti-aircraft missile battalion of our 704th Division Air Defense Regiment."

"If you meet in private, you can call me Chanxiong, or Lao Xiong, don't call Lao Xie, this title is very awkward."

"When there are many people, I call you Chen, your title is really a fight with my old Xie, and when there are few people, we are brothers."

Facing this familiar guy, Chen Ming smiled, what Lao Xie, Chen's place, it was originally a normal title, but when it came out of this guy's mouth, he always felt a little ambiguous.

"Hey, brother, I'm not in a good situation, look at you, the deputy battalion of the major went to further study, and when he came back, he was promoted to the deputy regiment and served as the No. 1 fire department directly under the division, and the scenery is infinite."

"Look at me again? I also went to further study, I was the battalion commander when I went, and I was still the battalion commander when I came back, and I arrived here last night, and I originally wanted to go to the division headquarters to report, but I was busy with the military parade. ”

"Today, I can only follow the team to watch, and I didn't keep up with the team."

Listening to the other party's nagging, Chen Ming was silent for a while, although there are many vacancies in the strategic assault division, not everyone can be promoted.

They are all regiment commanders, brigade commanders, who is responsible for the battalion commander and company commander?

The composition of the 704th Division has made great efforts to "catch strong men" from all over the theater and recruit capable veterans to serve as squad leaders of combat units.

Naturally, the officers should also study at the same time.

Why should a strategic assault division have a division headquarters, a brigade headquarters, and a regimental headquarters?

It is understandable that the division headquarters is the director's department, and the regimental headquarters can be completely canceled, and the brigade can directly lead the battalion, why not do it like this?

The reason is very simple, there is a shortage of people.

In the absence of a commander who can really lead division-level operations, if the brigade headquarters is directly in charge of the battalions, the establishment is too large, and the people who are capable of leading the entire division in battle will not be condescended to the command unit of the 169th Brigade at the deputy division level.

It is useless to force it up if it is not capable, it is simply impossible to command such a huge combat organization, and the so-called pilot units are always trying.

If one person can't do it, then it will be divided into one brigade and three regiments to manage, there is a big vacancy, and there is an urgent need for commanding generals, and further training is only one of the ways, not that it will definitely be able to be promoted.

But there is no such commitment.

In the future, it will develop slowly, slowly reduce the establishment, and when the experience is sufficient, the regimental command may be revoked, after all, it is really embarrassing.

But, not embarrassed now, such a transition period is needed.

"Are they all back, or are you back?" Obviously, Chen Ming didn't want to stay on this topic for long.

They are all old comrades-in-arms, and saying these hurts feelings.

"A small batch came back, and I was just one of them." Xie Canxiong shrugged his shoulders.

"Basically, all the comrades below the colonel level have graduated, and the simulated combat is not as good as the Joint Operations College thinks, and in many ways it can only confirm the theories we have learned.

"The other higher-level cadres haven't come back, but many of them are not from our strategic assault division, and you won't see them when they come back."

"Well, let's talk about Lao Xie, what are you looking for me?" Chen Ming asked with a smile.

Although the relationship between the two is good, he knows in his heart that if the other party is fine, he will definitely not be so enthusiastic.

In the words of Lao Xie just now, in the future, they will be brothers who eat in a big pot, where can you use such enthusiasm to say hello, this thing must have something.

"Hey, look at you, I can't talk to you? Also, don't call me Lao Xie, this title sounds like a toothache. ”

Xie Canxiong waved his hand, not admitting that something was wrong, but his footsteps followed Chen Ming towards the fire.

Even if this guy doesn't say it, Chen Ming knows what he is going to do, and now that the troops have gone to live-fire drills, the vast majority of people who stay in the station don't know him.

The division headquarters and brigade headquarters are estimated to go to the war zone for a meeting, but he really has nowhere to go at this time, he does not have a letter of appointment from the division headquarters, and he is suddenly transferred from a unit directly under the war zone to this side, and he has no acquaintances.

I don't want to stay for a while, or I want him to take him to the air defense regiment and the first anti-aircraft missile battalion.

Now the combat units of the entire division have been dispatched, unless it is the people in the fire department who lead the way, if there are so many battalions, who can know the location of the anti-aircraft missile battalion?

Those who are clear have gone over to supervise.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming smiled straight to the point and said, "Okay, old Xie, let's still be so polite?"

"If you have any needs, you can say, do you want to go to the anti-aircraft missile battalion to have a look, or do you want to go to the division headquarters and wait for the chief to finish his work?"

Regarding the position held by Xie Canxiong, it was leaked to him by Chen Ming, when the Operations Department of the Fire Department drew and marked the locations of all combat units.

The military chief here, the military and political chief, all have to be remarked, and the slogan is contact in wartime, so Chen Ming has been clear for a long time.

"It is estimated that there is no one at the division headquarters at this time, just after the military parade has ended, I am afraid that there will be a war on our side, and today is New Year's Day, and all military regions are organizing combat readiness."

"I'm afraid that the war zone will hold a video conference, and it's useless to go now, it's too bad time for you to come back."

"Then go to the 1st Air Defense Battalion and go over and have a look." Xie Canxiong nodded, feeling that Chen Ming's analysis was quite correct.

Originally, the academy learned the news that it was going to fight after the parade, so it arranged for some officers to come back to report.

He came back too late yesterday and lived nearby, and came early this morning to parade again.

Several of the people who came back with him to report were from the original 169 Brigade, and they were picked up and had places to stay.

It's a bit miserable for them to come over directly before, I don't know anyone here, and it's a special time, who will arrange to pick you up.

If Chen Ming hadn't had connections in the 169th Brigade, the first day of the report, let alone the battalion commander, would have to rely on his own legs to come over.

At special times, you say that you are alone, even if you are exercising, a regiment or a company, if you say that you don't give logistical assistance, you don't give it, and you can figure it out by yourself.

Soldiers, not so delicate.

"Staff Officer Deng."

Knowing that this thing wants to go to his own battalion, wait until he reaches the gate of the fire.

Chen Ming raised his hand to greet the person in charge of the combat department, Deng Haiyang.

"Here."

"What, find a comrade and take Battalion Commander Xie to the station of the 1st Air Defense Missile Battalion, this is the battalion commander who has just returned from advanced training at the National Defense University."

"Luggage, you take a look at the war department first, arrange for comrades to accompany you, and then take it to the division headquarters to report later."

"Yes."

Deng Haiyang responded, walked over quickly and took the luggage in Xie Canxiong's hand.

"Battalion Commander Xie, here, I'll call someone."

"Okay, thank you, Counselor Deng."

Xie Canxiong followed him into the fire.

Chen Ming was not idle when he came back, he didn't plan to send Lao Xie over, but he also had to inspect and inspect all parts of Niutou Mountain, and the firepower department was doing this job.

What's more, he is also the head of the garrison base guard picket, and he must patrol more, be familiar with the terrain, and prepare for the follow-up operation.

The Niutoushan garrison base has just experienced a military parade on New Year's Day and is in a calm period.

There has not yet been any combat orders issued, but many officers know that behind this calm is to prepare for the turmoil in the near future.

The big war is coming soon.

Hundreds of kilometers away from the Niutoushan garrison base in the Lianshan area of Fuzhou.

In the field, heavy tanks stopped roaring and were neatly parked on the side of the road.

The carriage opened, and groups of warriors emerged from the chariot without waiting for the warriors to find a place to rest.

A second lieutenant company commander in front shouted, "Assemble!!"

"What for? Yes? During the New Year's Day war preparations, even if you are resting, you can't gather together in groups of three or five, the gun does not leave your hand, and the helmet does not leave your head, you don't understand this? ”

"Come, there are still twenty minutes to eat, see that you are idle, it's okay, all of them sing the battle song of our brigade."

"I'm just staring at the front, see who doesn't sing, knock out your front teeth, all of them, stand up!!"

Hearing the order of the company commander, a group of fighters had to stand up straight, even if they were reluctant.

There is no way, during the war preparations, their whole brigade is ready for combat, and they have been nesting in a small space for the main battle tank, and one nest is three or four hours.

Fortunately, it was winter at this time, and it was not so hot, otherwise the nest would have been out for so long, and one by one it would have to become a dehydrated hot dog.

"Cheer me up, don't cry with a sad face, look at you like a soldier?"

The captain's company commander kept yelling and began to sing the battle song of their brigade.

"The jute horn sounds, the blood of the Red Army is transmitted, and the !! rises"

"I'll take a look, I'll see which rabbit cub doesn't open his mouth, if he is caught by me, don't eat it for a while, one by one during the war preparations, relying on you to fight, that can make the enemy laugh to death."

Hearing the roar of the company commander, the soldiers of the whole company had no choice but to endure the physical exhaustion, pulling their necks and starting to yell.

"The jute horn sounds, and the blood of the Red Army is transmitted;"

"Shame for the national snow, decisive victory in the south of the Yangtze River;"

"Neon has never been stained, the wind and waves have been tested for a long time, the construction adds strength, the love of the people is a model, the emergency fight is won, and the military spirit will never change;"

"The battlefield is invincible, a heroic courage, the gun is carried for the people, the father is in the heart, the pillow listens to the sound of the waves, and guards the country"

The soldiers looked up to the sky and shouted, in order not to be scolded by the company commander, they all used their strength to eat.

I'm afraid that I won't have anything to eat when I wait.

When the war song was being sung, the captain and company commander were also staring at the bull's eye, observing which of them was lazy.

There was a sudden whistle of assembly in the distance, and the company commander turned his head to look into the distance, and said intimidatingly: "Rabbit cubs, sing to me, I'll go to the meeting first."

"This meeting shouldn't be too long, and I don't want to hear the singing stop before I get back."

The company commander turned around and left after yelling, and the soldiers in the queue glanced at each other, their voices getting quieter and quieter, and finally they simply became weak.

The veteran squad leaders in the team didn't blame them, even the platoon commander didn't say a word, there was no way, because of various arrangements in the past few months, they have been tormented.

Their unit is none other than the Eastern Theater stationed in Lianshan, Fuzhou, and the 73rd Army is heavily armed and combined into the 86th Brigade.

The war song just now is the "Invincible Lion" of their brigade.

The 86th Brigade was reloaded, which was a veritable trump card unit, formerly known as the 31st Division of the 86th Group Army, which can really be called the title of the invincible lion.

Originally, for this kind of ace troops, a high-intensity training of several hours of combat preparation was really difficult for them.

But their training didn't start today, or rather, training on a combat readiness scale like this didn't start today.

As early as the beginning of August this year, the reloaded composite 86 brigade received an order from above.

In order to speed up the transformation and upgrading of military training and comprehensively improve the level of actual combat training and the ability to win wars, the brigade began to constantly explore new training methods and new tactics in light of its own missions and tasks.

From equipment operation and training methods to coordination modes and operational concepts, we will carry out all-round changes to accelerate the pace of transformation of military training for the whole brigade.

This task is to touch the lower lip as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, but the fighters below are much more bitter, improve in an all-round way, how to improve? Employ people to practice.

All-round change, how to change? Try it with people.

As a result, there was not enough on the garrison side, and from the beginning of August to New Year's Day, their entire rearmament brigade was tossed from Fuzhou to the open land of southern Xinjiang, and tossed four times.

Practice, come back to summarize and summarize, then practice, and finally summarize.

One trip is more than 4,000 kilometers, which means that in five months, they ran 30,000 or 40,000 kilometers, running at both ends, constantly experimenting, and constantly practicing.

The iron body is almost unbearable.

No, before New Year's Day, they suddenly received an order from the war zone to let them come back and prepare for an important holiday.

The whole brigade of fighters came back and did not rest, and today they were pulled into the tank again and continued to train about the previous experiments.

"Oh, I'm going, I'm tired of a ball, when is it a head every day, my waist is about to break, squad leader, step on me."

A veteran saw the company commander walking away, and directly pouted on the ground and called the squad leader.

"I'll trample you to death, you talk a lot every day, where did the young man come from, get up, don't wait for the company commander to come back and get mad again."

"No, not so soon, the company commander went to a meeting."

More and more veterans stopped singing and collapsed on the ground, really exhausted.

But they had just stopped singing, and it hadn't been five minutes since they stopped.

The captain, the company commander who had been away for a short time, returned.

It looked like he was feeling quite happy, because he had been training for so long and he was feeling tired.

Just after the meeting, I received news that they had reloaded and combined the 86th Brigade and were about to go to war, and the goal had been set.

After practicing for a few months, I finally want to find someone to K, can I feel comfortable?
