Chen Ming is here?

As the brigade headquarters deliberately publicized the news, many officers of the battalions of the artillery brigade received the news as soon as possible, and they immediately felt a lot of emotion.

Who is Chen Ming, almost no one in the current artillery brigade does not know, which veteran does not take out a few words of praise as a positive example when he teaches new soldiers?

After enlisting in the army for ten years, the Blue Army Brigade, which is now leading the theater of operations, defeated the Synthetic 5th Brigade, one of the main brigades of the 71st Army, in less than a week.

Army Chief of Staff Competition, first place in overall score.

In other words, does it mean that he is at least the first person in the army staff business in several major theaters?

No one will say anything like that, but I can't stop some people from thinking about it all the time.

The second battalion of the Far Fire.

Jiang Peng, who is now the deputy instructor of the second battalion, was even more speechless for a long time after receiving the notice from the brigade headquarters.

He was the platoon commander of the second recruit brigade at the beginning, and he had a deep impression of Chen Ming, and at that time it could be said that Chen Ming was the benchmark of the entire recruit company.

However, the most indispensable thing in the barracks is benchmarking, soldiers with good foundations.

At that time, although Jiang Peng helped Chen Ming a lot, answered many questions for him, and explained to him the precautions after the next company.

For fear that Chen Ming would take a detour after leaving the company, after all, the compulsory soldier is only two years, and he can't mix if he wants to mix in the first year.

In the second year, you can mix with the senior soldiers, but if you are not serious, you will not be able to stay in the team.

At that time, he was afraid that Chen Ming would not have enough stamina, so he delayed the time after the next connection, and made a lot of plans for him, although many of them were useless.

But Jiang Peng didn't expect that Chen Ming could be so fierce, ten years, it sounds long, but in terms of promotion and regulation, it is not long.

He was only a platoon commander who had just graduated from a military academy, but now he has been promoted from platoon commander to company instructor and then battalion deputy instructor in the past ten years.

The cadres in the same brigade, he can be regarded as rising quite quickly.

Compared with Chen Ming, it is nothing.

When Jiang Peng was the platoon commander, Chen Ming had just entered the barracks, and when Chen Ming left the company, he had already gone to the military region for training and wanted to serve as an instructor.

Who would have thought that Chen Ming was like riding a rocket, and he would enter the dragon's tooth after the military academy's promotion course, and the dragon's tooth would be the chief staff officer at the company level.

Now it is the chief of staff of the army who has the most focus of discussion in the entire theater, and if you want to say who mentions Chen Ming with the most emotion, one is Jiang Peng.

The other is Guo Yuanzheng, the commander of the recruit company.

Now he is still a company commander, if there is no special situation, Company Commander Guo will be transferred in the past few years, and his situation is the norm in the army.

As for Chen Ming, it was a very small minority of the few.

It's a pity that Lin Fengcheng, the instructor of the recruit company, had been specially approved for transfer a few years earlier because of his health.

The former brigade headquarters is still the same, and the training camp is still the same as it was back then, and there is no change.

people, but they have changed too much.

Many people in the artillery brigade who were familiar to Chen Ming have left, and new faces have changed one after another.

Even the three athlete recruits who were able to compete with Chen Ming in the recruit evaluation competition at that time, only one Li Kaizhao was still in the box artillery battalion and stepped down from the post of squad leader.

He was the weakest among the three of them that year, and the closest to Chen Ming's ability was Ye Qingwen, and after the end of the first period, he left after five years as a soldier.

That is a hot-blooded young man who was inspired to make a career in the barracks when he entered the camp, and now it has been five years since he retired from the army and returned home.

Another of the three, Yang Shengli, has good ability, he was young at that time, and he did everything with a lot of energy, and he wanted to be promoted and become an officer like Chen Ming.

However, Chen Mingdu has already served as the chief staff officer of the synthetic battalion, he still has only a third-class merit, and his age is almost over, and he is disheartened, and he is also the end of the five-year army, and he is disgraced.

Only Li Kaizhao didn't shout that he wanted to stay in the team at the beginning, and when a recruit asked him, he only said that there were too many ruthless people among the athletes, and he couldn't get along, so he came to the army for two years to calm down.

The conscription left at the end of the conscription, and as a result, ten years passed.

Those who shouted to stay in the team at the beginning are gone, and those who planned to serve for two years have become ten-year veterans.

The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

Now in the entire artillery brigade, Chen Ming can know, except for the head of the brigade headquarters, there are only three or five people left.

When youth is gone, many people and things are gone.

"It's almost there, squad leader, do you know that the artillery brigade of the 71st Army is my old unit."

"The real old unit, the new recruits are assigned here."

In the car, Chen Ming watched the vehicle enter the boundary of Pengcheng, the familiar scenery, as if the air was so kind, he couldn't help but speak.

"Haha, of course I do." Squad leader Xiong drove and laughed happily: "I haven't forgotten when I was in the border defense company, you told us the story of Wang Shuaibing on the eve of the National Birthday."

"The artillery brigade mentioned in the story is the 71st Army."

"At that time, the comrades in our class heard that it was called envy, and they really wanted to get to know this Wang Shuaibing chief and learn from him."

"As a result, hey, we all learned later that Wang Shuaibing was you, and the real Lao Wang was a big gas guzzler, looking stupid and stupid, but he was very shrewd."

"That can't be helped." Chen Ming remembered that past incident, spread his hands and said with a smile: "At that time, I was carrying out the study plan of the Joint Operations College of the National Defense University."

"Let's go down to the grassroots level, and we can't expose it until we have to."

"At that time, we even improved our life in the canteen, and I took advantage of the atmosphere to say that, who would have thought that so many things would happen later."

The old bear nodded, but didn't say anything.

He knew that what Chen Ming wanted at that time was to tell his own affairs, go to the border defense company, and leave some deeds of his own, which was not in vain.

It's just that because of the sudden conflict later, on the birthday of the country, the Second Frontier Company lost many comrades-in-arms, and even he and the bald man were seriously injured.

If it is not treated in time, I am afraid that it will be troublesome.

But even if there is time for treatment, the border post at an altitude of 5,000 meters will be insulated from them in the future.

With Chen Ming's help, he came to the Eastern Blue Army Brigade, and along the way, he was embarrassed to think about it.

As soldiers, their experience is quite extraordinary.

Chai Shuyao had already gotten out of the car when she passed by Pengcheng, and she was going to Jinling's house to have a look, so she stayed for two days by the way.

The old man's home, how to say it, is also the home of Chen Ming's father-in-law, he should have gone there together, but the military games of the military region were held in front of him.

He couldn't leave.

They are all military families, and these things can be understood, not to mention, he may not be able to see his father-in-law when he goes.

Spring refitting and maintenance has begun, and all units are busy reporting and applying, and this kind of quarterly refitting is not a trivial matter for all units.

After months of training, running-in, and exercises, many parts of the combat vehicles of the troops were worn out and unusable.

If you don't take this opportunity to apply, conduct a large-scale investigation, and if there are any omissions, the next few months will not be easy.

Therefore, they attach great importance to it, no less than the preparatory work in the early stage of a large-scale exercise.

The two walked all the way, chatting all the way, and according to Chen Ming's familiarity with the road conditions, they soon came to the artillery brigade department post.

The day after tomorrow is the opening of the Military Games, and Chen Ming came over in advance to participate in the opening ceremony, but also to see how it is arranged.

So that in the future, Niutou Mountain can also be held if there is a chance, and the words of the old bear reminded him before departure.

Niutoushan has a heavy task and tight time, but it can't always focus on training, combat, and these high-intensity arrangements.

Appropriately holding some activities can also make the soldiers of each battalion relax and relieve the boring daily life of the barracks.

The higher the position, the more things Chen Ming has to consider, according to statistics from the Fuzhou Civil Affairs Department to assist the tourism department, every Sunday in recent years.

Hourly hotel room business in all towns and cities began to increase significantly.

There is no doubt that this is the exhaustion of many soldiers, taking advantage of the rest day to take leave to go out, open the hour room to rest, sleep comfortably, and recover their spirits.

These statistics have been forwarded to the brigade headquarters through the local departments.

Naturally, the troops have their own rules and regulations, and unless they take a lunch break or sleep at night, they cannot rest in normal times and cannot lie in bed.

This is a rule for maintaining discipline, and Chen Ming can't change it, but it can be soothed in other ways.

The Military Games may be a good choice.

The vehicle is stationed.

The sentry at the brigade post saw an unfamiliar military vehicle with a license plate appear, and one of the veterans ran to him suspiciously.

Seeing Chen Ming get out of the car from the back seat, he glanced at the epaulettes, his expression was solemn, and he hurriedly saluted!

"Hello Chief!!"

"Hello comrade." Chen Ming returned the salute and looked up at the familiar brigade headquarters, feeling cordial.

He did not inform the artillery brigade in advance, thinking that he did not have such a big shelf.

Just came to the old army for a night, and notified in advance.

It's all his former chiefs, and he's taking care of himself.

It is not clear that the division headquarters has already conveyed the news for him.

"Comrade, I came from the 704th Division to see the Tang Brigade, this is my ID."

As he spoke, Chen Ming took out his military ID card from his pocket and prepared to hand it over.

The veteran who was in charge of duty originally stretched out half of his hand, but when he heard Chen Ming say that he came from the 704th Division, his expression suddenly stiffened, and his hand stopped in mid-air.

At present, in addition to the Blue Army Brigade, which has a division-level establishment, there is no second one in the entire theater.

The person in front of him is Chief of Staff Chen who was notified above?!!

But why is it so young? The veteran's brain is a little bent, and who can serve as the chief of staff of the brigade is not thirty or forty years old, carrying two bars and three stars on his shoulders.

This person not only looks young, but his military rank is only a battalion-level cadre.

"Chief, are you Chief of Staff Chen of the 704th Division?" The veteran asked uncertainly.

"Well, sort of, the 704th Division is the command and dispatch department, and I am currently the chief of staff, but it is in the 169th Brigade, which is different."

Chen Ming explained with a smile that it was already roughly clear that the division headquarters probably knew that he was coming over here, so he notified him in advance.

Otherwise, the non-commissioned officer of the first phase of the artillery brigade, I'm afraid no one knows him anymore.

Really.

The veteran heard Chen Ming admit that he didn't care what 169 or 704 was, as long as the person from above arrived.

Hurriedly beckoned to the back and said, "Quick, push the barricade away, this is Chief of Staff Chen who went out from our brigade."

"Hello chief, Tang Lu will explain at noon today, you will come over today, just go directly to the living room."

"I'm going to call inside."

Without waiting for Chen Ming to speak, the veteran ran back and helped push away all the barricades on both sides of the gate.

That enthusiasm stunned the old bear sitting in the car.

The sentry verifies that there is no problem and then releases, which is normal, right? There's no need to be so aggressive.

It makes people from the headquarters even more enthusiastic.

Chen Ming was also quite surprised, reached out and knocked on the glass of the car, raised his hand to the parking lot of the artillery brigade, and motioned to Lao Xiong to stop the car first.

When he came here, he didn't need anyone to lead him, and he came to the artillery brigade headquarters only a handful of times, but his memory was still fresh.

Especially in the brigade headquarters office building, in the open space in front of the military emblem, he won the third-class merit that year, and he could not go back as a recruit.

Chai Shuyao was still a propaganda officer in the war zone at that time, so he deliberately pulled him and took several sets of photos in front of the office building so that he could show them to his family.

At that time, the two were not married, and even Chen Ming never thought that the two would come together.

Now that time has passed, I recall the past, but it is as vivid as yesterday.

The place is still the same, the people are still the same, but time has passed.

Chen Ming strode towards the organ building, his inner excitement was uncontrollable, the artillery brigade carried too many memories for him.

Tang Brigade and Chief of Staff Peng are also familiar with him, they haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are looking forward to meeting.

The comradeship of a soldier is the purest.

Without waiting for Chen Ming to enter the brigade building, Jiang Peng took the lead and ran out of the building.

"Chen Ming!!" Jiang Peng shouted, and his face was a little flushed with joy.

"Instructor ?!!"

"It's such a coincidence, you're also at the brigade headquarters today." Chen Ming looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

Slightly excited, looking at Jiang Peng, I haven't seen him for many years, at that time, in the recruit company, Jiang Peng had just graduated from the command department of the National Defense University of Science and Technology.

At that time, I looked at the stubbornness of some scholars who had a strong military temperament.

Looking at it now, people are much thinner, and their faces are much more mature than before, fading away from the immaturity of just graduating, and hiding the edge of youth.

Everyone is in a war zone, and Chen Ming knows that he has now served as the deputy instructor of the second battalion of Yuanhuo, assisting the instructor in political work.

But that doesn't matter, in Chen Ming's heart, Jiang Peng will always be his instructor, not only because of his position, but also because of the help of others at the beginning.

"Haha, such a coincidence of bullshit, Tang Brigade specially arranged to notify the battalions to come and see you."

Jiang Peng's rough mine responded: "Your kid is really big now, the season is tight for dressing, and you also know that our brigade is the top priority."

"As a result, because of Ling's arrival, Tang Brigade informed us to come to the brigade headquarters to gather and see you, haha."

With Jiang Peng coming out, more than a dozen majors and lieutenant colonels walked out of the brigade headquarters building with a smile on their faces.

Looking at Chen Ming, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

It's just that they are not as casual as Jiang Peng, although Chen Ming's current military rank is lieutenant colonel, his position is there.

The chief of staff of the brigade is one level higher than the battalion commanders present, not to mention that the brigade-level competition won the first place and defeated the main composite brigade of the 71st Army, and the strength, position, and prestige are placed here.

They don't have such a good relationship, and they don't dare to be so casual.

Of course, there are exceptions.

In the crowd, a lieutenant colonel walked out, looked at Chen Ming, pursed his lips and nodded, his eyes full of relief and pride.

It was the battalion commander of the second battalion of Yuanhuo, Xu Kai.

Chen Ming was the battalion commander after he was left in the company.

"Good Chen Ming, you are really better than me, work hard, our old brothers are all looking at you."

"Brigade Tang said, you are from our artillery brigade, how can you welcome you when you come back this time, let you know that this will always be your home in the barracks."

"In the future, if the artillery brigade goes to Niutou Mountain, you have to be merciful."

"Haha."

Xu Kai raised his hand and patted Chen Ming's shoulder, followed by a captain, who was Guo Yuanzheng, the company commander of the former recruit company.

So many years have passed.

There has been no change in his position, Chen Ming has grown from a soldier under him to the point where he is a towering tree, and he will be able to shelter him from the wind and rain.

Guo Yuanzheng, like the battalion commander, stepped forward to pat Chen Ming on the shoulder, and was relatively speechless for a while.

"Battalion commander, company commander, instructor, hello!!"

They didn't have anything to say, Chen Ming wouldn't be stunned, and took the initiative to stand up and salute!!

The superiors and subordinates in the barracks are very strict, but his situation is no longer within the regulations, no matter how high his position is, when he meets the squad leader and company commander who promoted him back then, he should still be respected.

This is the most basic virtue of being a human being.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ming took the initiative to salute the others, almost all of them were familiar faces back then, and more than half of them could be called by name.

I thought that this time I came here to spend the night, and the next day I saw how the military games were arranged, how to arrange, the rules of the competition, and the management.

Didn't want to alarm anyone.

How do you know that the above helped him inform him first.

"Hello comrades, thank you."

"Haha, thank you for what, it's too out-of-the-box."

"That's right, Chief of Staff Chen, you are also a member of our artillery brigade, don't say that the Tang brigade has been notified, even if there is no notice, we know that the news will definitely come."

"Chief of Staff Chen is really young and promising."

“.”

Chen Ming took the initiative to speak, and the battalion commanders who came from behind were not restrained.

Their relationship with Chen Ming can only be said to be average, or just to know each other, but what they say is true.

Even if Tang Zhen didn't inform them, they would have to come over to take a look if they knew the news, and the reason was not complicated, Chen Ming's movement in their artillery back then was not small.

In the past few years, I have to jump from time to time, and my reputation is outside.

Now he is serving as the chief of staff of the Blue Army Brigade, this kind of person, as an officer, everyone wants to get acquainted, at least come and see if they still have this mind.

What's more, Chen Ming was originally a soldier from their artillery brigade, and the relationship can be closer.

Xiong Jiu parked the car for a long time, and when he came to the door of the brigade headquarters building, he happened to see Chen Ming talking with a group of people.

Good guy, even if he is naïve, there are more than a dozen lieutenant colonels and majors in a brigade headquarters, and he knows what is going on.

Such a grand welcome is better than any bells and whistles.

Xiong couldn't sigh for a long time, Chen Ming was indeed a soldier who walked out from here, but he was also a person who brought some honor here.

There is no shortage of onlookers everywhere with strong ability, like him, if he can return to the border regiment, how many people will still recognize him for a long time.

People can't be compared, the old bear stood in the distance and scratched his head innocently.
