A martial arts arena.
The four brigades of the artillery brigade were having a discussion together, and officers at all levels were excitedly recounting the results of the evaluation.
Eyes were still cast on Chen Ming from time to time. Before today, no one thought that the second team would be able to dominate the competition and win the championship in one fell swoop.
This is the first fall recruitment of the whole group army. At least in terms of physical fitness and queue subjects, the Second Artillery Brigade has the best recruits from all units.
The training center stood at the gathering position without saying a word. The first place was taken away. No matter how brilliant the subsequent rankings were, and nine of the top ten were taken, it was useless.
"Gather, gather, every regiment, every brigade, gather together, hurry up."
Following the shouts of the police officers, nearly 5,000 recruits moved quickly and lined up on the martial arts field.
It shows that the military looks neat and disciplined.
On the parade stage, Commander Luo Wentong stood at the edge with a loudspeaker in hand, scanning the neat formation with his tiger eyes.
He laughed loudly and said: "Thousands of miles long, the singing roc spreads its wings, thousands of armies stand ready with arrows and bows, dragons soar and tigers roar, the east wind blows fiercely, the demonic clouds are wiped out and the sky of Han Dynasty is cleared. Comrades, you have presented me with a wonderful game, a game that amazes me. An unforgettable competition scene, worthy of being a good man in our army."
“This year’s competition is an eye-opener for me, haha.”
"Soldiers are born to be warriors, soldiers of the motherland and soldiers of the people, and that is how it should be."
"Next, I will announce this year's 71st Army Autumn Recruit Competition, the top ten names in the competition. Comrades whose names are read, please come to the stage."
Wow! !
Thousands of people in the audience were excited.
In previous years, the list was usually read out by the brigade commander of the training center or the chief of staff of the group army.
Unexpectedly, this year, the commander personally announced that Commander Luo was the greatest leader in the eyes of many recruits.
Luo Wentong ignored the commotion in the audience, picked up the list in his hand and said in a loud voice: "The one with the highest overall score in the competition is Chen Ming of the Second Artillery Brigade."
Swish, brush, brush! ! !
Countless eyes were focused on the position of the second team, and Chen Ming became the focus of the audience.
His eyes were filled with shock, envy, jealousy, and dissatisfaction, even if he knew the result early in the morning.
However, when it was announced, many recruits still felt complicated.
When Zhao Lifei heard the voice on the stage, he ran to Chen Ming with a big grin and helped him straighten his collar, which he had tidied eight hundred times just now.
"Go ahead, don't be afraid, hold your head high and stride forward, come on."
"Yes, monitor."
Chen Ming couldn't hide the joy on his face, he agreed and walked out of the queue towards the parade platform.
When passing by other recruits in the second brigade, regardless of whether they were in the same class or not, all the recruits cast encouraging glances.
"Brother Chen, your walking posture is better. We are number one. Let's stand up."
"Deputy deputy, don't listen to Lao Wang's nonsense, your current posture is quite good."
"Chen Ming, good job."
"Deputy Chen, congratulations."
"Go, Chen Ming."
Walking out of the queue of the second team, the surroundings were full of encouragement, and Chen Ming was also filled with pride at this time. This more than a month of hard work was not in vain.
"Second place, Ye Qingwen."
"Third place, Yang Shengli."
"Fourth place, Li Kaizhao."
"Fifth place, Pei Yuanqing."
....
Name after name was shouted.
From time to time, someone would step out of the entire queue in the martial arts arena and gather towards the military parade platform.
On stage.
Artillery brigade commander Tang Zhen, smiling broadly, stood behind the commander and stared at Chen Ming.
Song Baoguo, the brigade commander of the new training center, stood beside the commander with three big red boxes and a stack of certificates in his hands.
Wait until ten people gather.
Luo Wentong smiled and came to the far left side of the parade platform.
"Chen Ming, Ye Qingwen, Yang Shengli."
"arrive."
"According to the reward rules of our military competition, the top three each year will receive the third-class individual merit award from the military."
"Now, on behalf of the 71st Army, I confer military honors on you. I hope you will continue to work hard and open up a new chapter of your own in your military career."
"Understand?"
"yes."
Chen Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart and watched as a glittering military medal was hung around his neck by the commander.
Click, click, click! !
Not far from the stage, Chai Shuyao picked up the camera hanging around his neck and kept taking pictures.
The process of awarding military honors was very short and did not last long. In addition to the top three being awarded military honors, the fourth to tenth place also received certificates of commendation.
"Congratulations, my young comrade with a military spirit." When Chen Ming walked down the parade platform, Chai Shuyao playfully raised her little hand to say hello.
"Lieutenant Chai, thank you!" Chen Ming saluted solemnly. He was not an officer, and he was not as casual as this officer from the Propaganda Department.
"Well, you're welcome." Commander Luo and other units on the parade stage were already preparing to withdraw on the 1st.
Chai Shuyao ran a few steps to catch up with Chen Ming, pulled his sleeve and said, "Chen Ming, I have the last question for you."
"Say it!" Chen Ming stood at attention and saluted.
"Well, there's no need to be so serious. I've seen your information. Are you from Pengcheng?"
"Yes."
"Well, that's it. As for me, the publicity topic I'm responsible for this year is to interview the new comrades' meritorious service performance, as well as some daily training aspects. I may also go to your second brigade to ask you some questions in the future."
"Since your home is relatively close to here, if the military region subsequently notifies local units of your meritorious service, when the Pengcheng Veterans Affairs Bureau and the Ministry of Armed Forces go to your home to deliver the good news, I will also go to your home to follow up and take photos. Let me tell you in advance. .”
oh!
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment. This matter of filming was decided by the military region. Is it possible that he, a new recruit who is not even a top soldier, can still refuse?
However, Chai Shuyao's words reminded Chen Ming that his family had always been unfavorable about his becoming a soldier and had to persuade him every time he called.
If military merit can be sent home, with gongs and drums beating, and people celebrating along the way, this is obviously a good thing for him.
During this period of time, I was only thinking about getting rankings and getting military merit, and I almost forgot about the good news from the military merit gathering.
Thinking of this, Chen Ming asked: "Lieutenant Chai, when will the good news of military achievements be delivered home? Can it be tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Chai Shuyao glanced at Chen Ming in surprise and shook his head, "Didn't Captain Guo tell you in advance?"
"The good news for the third-class meritorious service every year in the recruit competition will be notified to the local units until you are awarded the title. It is still early."
"Besides, even if I send good news tomorrow, I don't have time. After this competition, the army's winter training will enter the intense preparation stage, and I want to follow suit."
Yes, that's right. Chen Ming thought for a moment and nodded.
He is not even considered a soldier now. He will be considered a private after being awarded the title. As for the company commander not mentioning this matter, it is easy to understand.
Before starting, no one thought that someone would take first place, and the top ten were not considered much.
Only Zhao Lifei is bolder.
I still thought that Chen Ming could get into the top five or something.
Seeing Chen Ming deep in thought, Chai Shuyao thought he was a little disappointed because he couldn't send the good news back in time.
He reached out and patted Chen Ming on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just wait for more than a month."
"The military training has ended by then, and it's time for you to join the company. Come on."
After Chai Shuyao finished speaking, she hugged the camera and left with the people from the Propaganda Department.
By this time, the leaders on the parade stage had already left, and the training center was slowly evacuating.
The four recruit brigades of the artillery brigade were all waiting for Chen Ming. The intimate conversation between the two was seen by more than 400 people.
Wang Shuaibing blinked, the corners of Zhao Lifei's mouth twitched slightly, and even the always serious Jiang Peng looked confused.
When did these two people have such a good relationship?
