Almost from the moment they entered the camp, the pressure of the recruit selection competition has been weighing on everyone's heads. Now that the selection is finally over, everyone in the first class suddenly felt a long sigh of relief, completely forgetting the warnings of the squad leader before returning.
As soon as a group of people got off the bus, they stretched themselves in small groups and blocked the entrance to the training ground to chat.
Chen Ming noticed that the squad leaders sent away the car soldiers who were responsible for sending them back, and then looked at the lazy look of the new recruits. He suddenly frowned and felt something bad.
Didn't even have time to remind.
Eleven squad leaders, including Zhao Lifei from the first squad, Wu Gaochuan from the second squad, Cheng Tiehu from the third squad, etc., walked towards this side with dark faces.
"What are you doing?"
"You don't even know how to line up? Who taught you to stand like this? Everyone is here. Let's assemble on the track at the training ground."
The voice came from the second squad leader.
The recruits in Class 11 all realized something was wrong, and their hearts thumped loudly.
"Hua La" dispersed and gathered towards the runway.
They had been discussing the gun training in the car just now. After getting off the car, they were still not finished and had forgotten about the formation. Now, when they saw the squad leaders staring at each other, they were suddenly startled.
Chen Ming grinned. He relaxed after the war. It was a big taboo among military strategists. He was rushing to let the squad leader deal with it.
More than a hundred people gathered at the designated location within thirty seconds.
Zhao Lifei came to the first class and said with a cold face: "What are you doing? Go outside to compete, and when you come back you can't even stand in line?"
"Carry a load of five kilometers to help you remember. Ma Dazhu, you lead the team. Chen Ming, come out of the queue. You come first."
"yes."
Everyone in the group watched with envy as Chen Ming walked out of the team, looking back three times with reluctance.
Zhao Lifei ignored them and took Chen Ming back to the entrance of the training ground and said, "The company forgot to tell you before that you won the third-class personal merit this time. The military region will not notify local units until the military merit is awarded."
"Let me tell you in advance, if you call home, don't make any mistakes."
"Yes, monitor."
Chen Ming nodded. He had heard this news from Chai Shuyao before.
"Um."
Zhao Lifei stared at Chen Ming with complicated eyes.
He really didn't expect that the second team would come out on top this time. Normally, he only thought that Chen Ming performed well and was very positive, but he never thought that Chen Ming would take the first place in the competition.
Until now, this sudden surprise still made him feel dizzy and unable to recover.
"Well...Chen Ming, you performed well this time. Do you have any plans for the future? For example, when the recruit period is over, you will be assigned to a company. Which unit do you want to go to?"
Zhao Lifei hesitated for a moment and continued to ask. If it were other recruits, he wouldn't want to worry about it. Everything will be determined by the assessment results.
But Chen Ming is different.
Zhao Lifei still planned to ask, to see if he had a plan, he might be able to help.
There are results for the first place in the competition. It is not difficult to talk to the company commander and move around to form a good company.
It will also be beneficial to Chen Ming’s future development.
"Xialian?"
Chen Ming was slightly surprised. Just now he had planned to ask the instructor to find out, but unexpectedly, the squad leader asked first.
"Squad leader, I remember when we first arrived, Company Commander Guo and Instructor Lin introduced us. Are you all from the Second Company of the Long-range Rocket Launcher Battalion?"
"I'm not very familiar with the artillery brigade units. I wonder if I can follow you to the long-range rocket artillery battalion."
"We, Jiang Platoon and Guo Company are indeed from the second company of the long-range rocket launcher. To be precise, we are from the second company of the first long-range rocket launcher battalion."
Zhao Lifei was a little proud after admitting that he was a long-range rocket launcher, but his expression soon turned a little embarrassed.
He shook his head and said: "But I'm afraid you won't be able to go. The two long-range rocket launcher battalions were only established last year. The instructions from the brigade headquarters are that only veterans can go in."
"After all, the formation time is short, and we are a combat-ready force. The two battalions must form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. The selected soldiers can only participate in deployment when other battalions are promoted to upper class soldiers."
"In other words, only veterans are eligible to enter these two long-range rocket launcher battalions."
"Even though these two battalions have just been formed, their combat effectiveness is not weak at all. The two battalions are equipped with 48 long-range rocket launchers, and combined with the 36 howitzers of the 155th Rocket Launcher Battalion, the combat effectiveness is enough to double."
"But we can't say for sure. The winter training is about to begin. This time, the eight main battalions of our artillery brigade will take part. Didn't you see that the company commander, instructor, and Jiang Platoon have all returned to the company to organize."
"If the two battalions can achieve results this time, the theater will soon strengthen our side to four long-range rocket launcher battalions. By then, the ten main battalions of the long-range rocket artillery brigade will really be able to withstand the massive force of the 71st Army. Flag, suppress the rear area."
"With the changes in the establishment, maybe the conditions for joining the camp this year will also change. After all, there are 1,780 people in a battalion. If we draw people from the veteran group, I'm afraid it will be a bit stretched."
When he mentioned his old troops, Zhao Lifei suddenly became a chatterbox and introduced a lot of them.
Chen Ming stood on the sidelines and listened in confusion. He knew a lot about the physical training of the troops, but he knew very little about the combat system and organization of each unit.
However, this does not prevent him from yearning for this kind of battle scene.
"Squad leader, what is the military training? An exercise?"
Chen Ming didn't dwell on the topic of whether he could join the long-range rocket launcher camp.
After all, the squad leader knows everything clearly, and his understanding may not be as detailed as that of Jiang Platoon or the instructor.
Anyway, the recruitment period only ends in more than a month, so he is not in a hurry.
"It's a big training exercise."
Zhao Lifei smiled and said, "Big military training is what is often called an exercise. For example, the annual military exercises mentioned in the army are also military training, but the scale is not as large as this year."
"This year our 71st Army is fighting another army in the war zone. There is a battlefield with more than 100,000 people. You don't need to ask about this. New recruits cannot participate in military training."
"What's more, the military training has already ended before you go down to the company. Let's see how the brigade headquarters arranges it then."
"Yes, monitor."
After chatting with the squad leader for a while, Chen Ming did not escape the five kilometers this time. With a wave of his hand, Zhao Lifei replaced Ma Dazhu and became the vanguard of the squad.
When I first came back from the competition, a group of people here really couldn't contain their thoughts. They discussed this and that excitedly, and wanted to share the details they saw during the competition over and over again with others.
As a result, it only took five kilometers at a time.
Later, Zhao Lifei didn't make things difficult for them anymore. After dinner in the recruit company cafeteria, he told Chen Ming and others to clean up the house, and then drove Chen Ming and the others back to their dormitory.
....
Early the next morning.
The recruit company has not yet blown the bed-in whistle, but Chen Ming is still the same as before, getting up at around four o'clock to run, run obstacles, and pull the horizontal bar.
It wasn't even daylight yet, and the sound of "rumbling" kept coming from the sky above the recruit company, and then the ground began to shake.
Chen Ming was running vigorously when he heard the movement and looked up to the sky with surprise on his face.
The dormitory building was even more chaotic.
Many recruits who were sleeping were woken up. They first looked outside in confusion, and then their expressions suddenly changed.
"Damn it, there's not going to be a war, right?"
