The next few days.

The division headquarters held a meeting again and decided to stop the major rectification, and at the meeting, the fire department was really praised.

After all, in the three-ice breaking operation, Chen Ming did make great efforts to apply all the things he had learned from the joint operations academy to rectification.

After the rectification was completed, the entire Niutoushan garrison base entered an intense period of military training.

Compared with the calm some time ago, the training stage is much more bitter, the winter in Fuzhou is not cold, but the summer is absolutely hot, and mosquitoes are rampant, making the soldiers of all units miserable.

In the vast mountains, the heat wave continued to sweep, the temperature continued to rise, and the Niutoushan garrison base spanned hundreds of kilometers, leaving the garrison area and coming to a place far away from the residential area for summer training.

The first regiment, the second regiment, and the third regiment were divided into two parts to confront each other, and a day-and-night confrontation drill was launched against the background of seizing control of key points.

After the combined tiger and wolf battalion arrived at the control area, the battalion commander Du Longfei quickly arranged troops, launched camouflage and vigilance, deployed sensors on the surrounding main roads, and drones took off multiple sorties to patrol and control.

Not only the Tiger Wolf Battalion, but also the local armed police detachment was involved in this large-scale training, which swept widely.

Everything is to assist in the training of the Niutoushan garrison base.

When the heat wave hit, the sky was like a pot of coals pouring down, and in an abandoned factory, the roof of the house had already been sunburned, and the officers and men of the armed police detachment, with thick equipment, had their faces reddened from the sun.

This is an armed police special operations squad, taking on the role of the Red Army, and one of the squad leaders gave a gesture to signal that there was an ambush in the woods on the left side of the factory.

With the gesture, the heavily armed special operators immediately split into two groups, one group remained in front to confuse the Blues, and the other group went around the flank and rear of the Blues to carry out a flank attack.

The pictures of the military training in various places were clearly transmitted to the director's department, and the training was not a formal red-blue confrontation, but a summer military training action jointly organized by the division headquarters and the local armed police detachment through consultation.

Designed to sharpen part of the units of the 704 Division.

Of course, in the strategic assault division, there are also combat units divided into two parts, one part is the Red Army together with the armed police detachment, and the other part is the Blue Army.

Since the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Wolf Battalion had already been formed, it was naturally assigned to the Red Army.

At this time, it was cooperating with the armed police detachment to attack the station of the Blue Army, and the battle was very grounded, and there was no collision of large-scale weapons.

In training, we should first start with combat coordination and combat awareness.

In the vast mountains, the combat units are constantly confronting, fighting, and fighting.

There is no dead in the resurrection of the BUG here, one attack and one defense, the army and the armed police jointly use multiple tactics, give full play to the firepower, and launch attacks on the Blue Army garrison day and night.

In the director's department, Chen Ming stood there watching, and it had been two months since the last time the division headquarters ordered the construction of a service center for soldiers.

During this period, there was nothing to say about the Niutoushan garrison base, and after the rectification, it was crazy training, fighting, and fighting dividends internally.

Pull the armed police detachment over, split it up to form the Red Army, and continue to fight.

In short, all the methods that can be used have been used to the extreme, and Chen Ming is still the same as before, according to the instructions of the division headquarters, first divided into the area of the military service center.

Then find the engineering unit to enclose the land to build, and then find a local decoration company to carry out the overall decoration according to the military service club in the barracks.

It's almost finished.

The battle on the training ground was still going on, and Wang Junwei saw Chen Ming staring at the screen, watching non-stop.

smiled: "Chen Ming."

"Here."

"You kid have nothing to do? What do you do when you come here every day to see the progress of military training? ”

"How's the construction of the service center for soldiers? When will it be officially launched? ”

"The report can be completed in the next few days, and at present, the Political Department of the Fire Department is responsible for attracting investment, and some time ago, many comrades recommended their relatives to come over to contract the dining area, barber area, and leisure area."

"It's all pretty much finalized."

"Well, we need to put it in place as soon as possible." Wang Junwei admonished.

"There is not much time for us to train the troops above, and it is impossible to keep watching us toss around here, and we have to see the results above."

"Before the new directive arrives, the service center for soldiers must be built, and excess energy cannot be put on this."

"In terms of contracting, I still say that I must carefully review it, and the family members recommended by my comrades should also ask the comrades from the fire department to investigate the local area to avoid accidents."

"The house assigned to you has been renovated, right?"

"Okay, Master Xie cares."

Chen Ming nodded in response, it was indeed cleaned up, and it was assigned last year, but at that time, many engineering troops had not been completed, and the house could be seen, but it could not be moved in or decorated.

You can pay a fee to confirm your stay.

It wasn't completely implemented until this year, but he was too busy, everything was Chai Shuyao looking for someone to clean up and arrange, and he had few chances to go back.

Most of them still live in the fire department dormitory.

Wang Junwei looked at Chen Ming and couldn't take his eyes off the big screen, and he also knew that he preferred to lead troops to fight rather than stay in the logistics department like the firepower.

Then he reminded again: "What, how are you preparing for the brigade chief of staff competition?"

"This must also be implemented as soon as possible, and the actions of the military department will be carried out when they are said, so don't fall behind when the time comes."

"The meaning of the above is also obvious, that is, it is necessary to set up a practical combat training orientation and constantly improve the ability to plan for wars.

"The position of staff officer can even be cultivated in large quantities in the shortest possible time, because just looking at the screen, making and planning, any officer with some background can do it."

"However, the staff officers trained in this way do not have much real talent and real learning, and in our troops, especially in grassroots units, the position of staff officer is not so important."

"But if it is in a high-level unit, the importance of the staff officer will be vividly reflected, especially in the modern army, the importance of the chief of staff has become higher and higher."

"You have served as the chief staff officer of the Tiger Wolf Battalion, and you should know what a staff department means to a combat unit."

"No matter how good the ace unit is, it is the chief of staff who first commands the combat training department of the headquarters and draws up various operational plans and plans."

"Submit three plans and choose one, but basically you can't escape the chief of staff's plan, and very few military commanders can overturn all the plans given by the chief of staff, and then formulate a new set."

"The combat plan drawn up by the military commander is not necessarily higher than that of the chief of staff, and most of the time, only one of the three plans can be selected."

"You don't need me to tell you this, you know it very well."

Chen Ming nodded, of course he knew this, the higher the level of the staff, the more important it was.

But he is a person from the firepower department to participate in the brigade chief of staff competition, it doesn't seem to be qualified, right?

Although Chen Ming has some guesses, at present, the Niutoushan garrison base is fully staffed, there are no vacancies, and he is now at the level of deputy regiment.

No matter how strong the ability is, if there is no vacant position in the 704th Division, it will be in vain, and nothing can be done.

Chen Ming thought for a moment, but still couldn't help but speak: "Chief, is it appropriate for me to participate in the Chief of Staff Competition?"

"Age, qualifications, I don't meet the qualifications, and I don't meet the conditions for the competition."

Hearing Chen Ming's inquiry, Wang Junwei smiled, and he knew that this kid couldn't help it.

glanced at him and said, "Okay, put away your little thoughts."

"I know what you're trying to ask."

"Do you want to say that the current chief of staff of the 169th Brigade Liu Zhiyang is doing a good job and is also very capable, and the deputy chief of staff is the battalion commander of our 169th Brigade Composite Battalion Shan Chao, and he is also doing a good job, there is no place for you, why do you want to participate in the Chief of Staff Competition, right?"

Forehead. Chen Ming turned his eyes away a little embarrassed, he did think so, but the problem was that he couldn't say it so bluntly.

With his qualifications, in fact, it is no problem to go to the 1st Composite Regiment to serve as the chief of staff, but if he says that he will serve in the 169th Brigade, it will be a bit too much.

Not to mention that there is no place yet.

Wang Junwei heard Chen Ming muttering alone, and was silent for a while, without saying a word.

The above arrangement is definitely not to say random roll call.

The command of the 169th Brigade of the Strategic Assault Division does not have vacancies at present, but that is only a problem left over from the early days of its establishment.

Seeing that there is no vacancy in front of you does not mean that there is no one after the training is over.

To set up such a new unit, it is easy to say that a battalion commander or a company commander is required, and based on various considerations, it is easier to transfer.

But can a regiment-level cadre come over?

No military region is willing to give it, including the former 71st Army, and no one will give it.

At present, Liu Zhiyang, chief of staff of the 169 Brigade, has been transferred from the 73 rd Group Army, and he will go back after the troops are officially brought in.

If you want a cadre at the regimental level, the strategic assault division has to come up with a few places for further training before replacing it.

What do you care about these questions?

It can't be said that it doesn't matter, the establishment is given to you, the soldiers are given to you, the territory is given to you, and the weapons have been changed.

If you can't bring out the results, then it's not a problem above, and the above is not a wet nurse, so you can care about everything?

It is the person who solves the problem, not the person who asks the problem.

The reason why Wang Junwei didn't tell Chen Ming was that there were some things that couldn't be put on the table.

There are many problems left over from the early days of the establishment of the operation, why the director department did not care about it, why the operation was chaotic, and why the brigade headquarters did not exert its authority and did not play a role.

Wang Junwei also deliberately did this, attracting the attention of the above, and then won the opportunity for a major rectification and the opportunity for military training.

Cao Zhigang, commander of the 169th Brigade, and Pan Jiachen, political commissar, these two were promoted to colonel together with Chen Ming when he was promoted to lieutenant colonel.

Even they were "borrowed" from other army groups.

Why do you say borrow?

In fact, the reason is very simple, in the army, lieutenant colonels, colonels, basically work until the age of forty, and if there is no progress, they will change jobs.

This is the rule, and there are very few exceptions.

If there are regulations, they must be enforced, and in order to allow some colonels to remain in the army, some units will find ways to promote them to colonels.

It is possible to extend the age of change of employment to 50 years.

Even if you are promoted to colonel, there is no possibility of further promotion, except for extending the retirement age.

But it's also a way to do it, and there are people who are good and supportive, and I hope they stay until then.

If you want to be promoted, you must also have a way, and there is a chance, and it just so happens that the strategic assault division was established, and a large number of vacancies have been created.

Here's your chance.

The above only cares about transferring troops for you, dividing places for you, and changing weapons for you, but it doesn't care specifically how you bring them or how you train officers.

With such a big vacancy, if the senior officers don't come again, what should the division headquarters do?

Can only be exchanged.

Two places for promotion to colonel, in exchange for a brigade chief of staff to stay here for a year, or two years, when the time comes, people have to go back.

Including those who were originally promoted to colonel, they also have to go back to report, and the current transfer is not a long-term instruction, but only to assist the 704th Division to straighten out the early stage.

These are all issues that the division headquarters should consider for themselves.

Thereupon.

When Chen Ming reported at the beginning, only political commissar Xu Guoyang was in charge of the overall situation.

Wang Junwei is borrowing people everywhere.

Take some places for further training, places for promotion, and exchange them for some excellent battalion commanders and company commanders, and transfer them over.

These battalions, companies, that is a thorough transfer, regiments, brigade commands are not fixed.

They all have to go back to their original units to report, and it is not easy for people to cultivate, and they will not be forced to send them over.

This is the same as grabbing the top soldiers, the high-level will not care, and they can't manage it, and they will not be happy about this, let alone senior commanders and fighters.

Wang Junwei has already made plans, this is a position transfer within the 704th Division, he can call the shots, after the chief of staff competition, let Chen Ming go to the 169th Brigade as the brigade chief of staff.

Xu Wenqian, chief of staff of the division headquarters, was transferred to the 169th Brigade as the brigade commander, and the position was transferred in a short period of time, and it was impossible to promote the rank.

The promotion of lieutenant colonel to colonel requires the signature of the military department, and at the moment the strategic assault division cannot submit an application.

It just so happened that Chen Ming had a good reputation in this major rectification, and the officers of various units had also come into contact with him, and the soldiers were even more familiar with him, and his own ability was good.

Serving as brigade chief of staff is not a big problem.

What's more, with Xu Wenqian in charge of the overall situation, there is no problem.

Fortunately, the 704th Division was given enough convenience, and there was a second batch of officers who could go to further study.

It's just that a lot of places have been exchanged.

This is also why there were many people who were not strategic assault divisions when Chen Ming was studying.

Wang Junwei knew what was going on, but there was no need to tell Chen Ming about something, this was a high-level decision, and the less you knew, the better you do.

The level is not enough, knowing this, he can't solve it, just act according to the instructions.

The strategic assault division seems to have unlimited scenery, but in fact, there is still a lot of road to go.

It takes a lot of effort to set up a new company and a new battalion, let alone a strategic assault division.

With such a huge combat unit, how can it be said clearly in just a few words?

Seeing Chen Ming's face full of doubts.

Wang Junwei waved his hand and said, "Don't talk so much nonsense, let you prepare."

"I said you can go."

"In the past year, you've been busy working in the fire, I know, but don't leave anything behind."

"The unit that can really train people is not necessarily a front-line combat unit, but there is no doubt that you kid is quite suitable there."

"Don't stare at this, what should you do, there will be times when you want to vomit."

"Yes."

Chen Ming agreed and strode out of the division headquarters.

Although the division commander didn't say anything just now, it seems that he has said everything.

He didn't know what was going on with the specific situation, but the division commander said so, and he was sure that eight or nine would not be far from ten.

In the army, each level has different worries.

If you are a soldier, then you can think about eating after practice, eating and practicing, and strive to become a pacesetter, and you don't need to think about anything else.

If you are a non-commissioned officer, then you want to learn a skill, excellent technology, at least three periods, and you can get an iron job when you change jobs.

If it is an officer, then it is more to consider, especially an officer of the field army, where the ass sits, then consider the matter of which position.

The next period of time.

Chen Ming can be regarded as entering a period of leisure, and went to his hometown to pick up his parents, the old couple have worked hard in their hometown all their lives, and they have never left their hometown.

Now with the army, I have to manage supermarkets, which is obviously not suitable, but fortunately, Chen Ming explained to Lao Xiong.

Just taking advantage of the summer vacation, Lao Xiong's daughter-in-law took the children and two old people to rent a house in a nearby town.

The old bear's daughter-in-law is very capable, she is in her twenties, and she is very beautiful and has a good image if she cleans up and dresses up a little.

In the past, I was just bent over by the tiredness of life, and the life of a military wife was not easy, and Chen Ming could only help with this.

She and Chen Ming's parents jointly contracted a supermarket, a military service center, with three or four supermarkets, and they only contracted the smallest area.

Chen Ming's father, Chen Qianghe, was in charge of purchasing goods all day long, riding a large tricycle to a nearby town to bring them back, and his mother Hu Caixia and Lao Xiong's daughter-in-law tally and sell goods.

Chen Qianghe was fine, and went to work as a mobile vendor outside the station, running more than 100 kilometers with the opposing troops, selling frozen drinks, cigarettes, and instant noodles.

The business is surprisingly good, coupled with the old bear's daughter-in-law's sweet mouth and warm hospitality, although the supermarket they contracted is small, but the soldiers nearby like to take advantage of the rest to buy large bags and small bags.

Whenever Lao Xiong mentions this, he is very grateful, if it weren't for Chen Ming, their family's life would really not be so good.

Now that he has his wife's income here, his salary is a small head, and his two children have also entered school with the help of Fei Ming, without much effort.

My parents also rented a low-rent house nearby, which was cheap and affordable, and it was a complete home.

This made the old bear squad leader's face happy all day long, and he worked harder.

And Chen Ming was okay to accompany Chai Shuyao, the two went to a nearby shopping mall to choose furniture, and after their small home was renovated, they also had to add furniture.

The one-bedroom and living room of more than 60 square meters allocated by Chai Shuyao was given to Chen Ming's parents to live in, and a complete set of furniture had to be bought and filled in.

During this idle time, Chen Ming did a lot of things, and used his position to help his comrades-in-arms and help his family.

The training of troops at the Niutoushan garrison base continued.

Summer goes to the east, and the east goes to spring.

More than half a year has passed, and it is now the ninth year of Chen Ming's joining the army.

Wang Shuaibing is already a third-term non-commissioned officer.

At the Niutoushan garrison base, the training of various units was very smooth, and they were ready to wait for a new Red Army operation.

This time the Blues can definitely be regarded as a whetstone, not a ragtag army of more than a year ago.

At the same time, the order for the brigade-level chief of staff contest notified by the military department also arrived.
