It happened so suddenly. It was obvious that the veterans who came to steal the guns didn't even react before they were thrown to the ground by dozens of new recruits.
Although Chen Ming and the others had just entered the camp, they were "influenced" by the squad leader every day, and they also knew that once something like a gun was lost in the army, it would be much more serious than the death of an individual.
After being trained all day during the day, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted and exhausted. These veterans came to steal guns again at night. This was not a clear intention to punish them to death. Who would be happy?
A group of people rushed forward with anger. No one was talking nonsense. They covered half of the opponent's body with a quilt, and rushed forward and punched him randomly.
Facing so many people, without reacting, let alone an ordinary veteran, even if you are a top special forces soldier, you will get a beating first.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Perhaps there was too much movement, and soon the monitor on duty not far away was alerted, and a flashlight shone brightly over him.
Accompanied by roaring sounds.
Everyone in the resting camp was awakened.
Many recruits from other brigades who were sleeping soundly sat up and looked over in confusion, confused and not understanding what was going on.
Zhao Lifei, the leader of the first class, Wu Gaochuan, the second class leader, and Cheng Tiehu, the third class leader, also hurried over.
The first group of people responsible for patrolling the perimeter were all squad leaders of the second brigade.
This is also the reason why they just finished the roll call and left in a hurry.
In this unfamiliar place, they didn't dare to let the new recruits patrol and do duty. If the people who were resting were okay but the people on duty were missing, it would be even more troublesome.
"What are you doing? Stop it!" The words of the three squad leaders had a much better effect than the scolding of the squad leader on duty just now.
When they came up, they started to pull people away from the outer circle where the veterans were being beaten. They said that four classes of new recruits were coming together, but how could there be so much space occupied by dozens of people.
Only those dozen or so people actually used their fists. Among them, Wei Chongchong, Wang Shuaibing, and Ma Dazhu were the most powerful, and they were more effective than the people in the second class.
"What are you doing, let go." Zhao Lifei pulled the people away fiercely. These squad leaders were all like human beings. They probably knew what was going on after looking at the situation.
In front of so many new recruits, they couldn't ask in detail, so they protected a few beaten veterans and let them leave in a hurry.
"Squad leader, those bastards stole guns." Wang Shuaibing pointed in the direction in which they left in dissatisfaction.
"That's enough, line up." Zhao Lifei roared, watching the group of ten people in front of him line up, and looked directly at Chen Ming.
Every year during military training, there are similar "stealing gun" tests, as well as combat drills, passing drug-infected roads, etc.
Due to the special circumstances this year, many subjects required for the course cannot be carried out.
But this "stealing a gun" test was retained. Zhao Lifei knew very well the virtues of this group of guys.
If no one warns them in advance, let alone beating the veteran, it would be great if the gun can be kept from being taken away.
"Whose idea is it?" Zhao Lifei glanced around the others.
Everyone bowed their heads. It was the time for the eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man to show his loyalty. He was so happy just now. He would definitely not betray his comrades in this meeting.
"It's me who's reporting." Chen Ming stepped forward and stood up. Wang Shuaibing tried to pull him away, but failed.
Just when a group of new recruits were about to say something and wanted to help Chen Ming take the blame for themselves, Zhao Lifei suddenly smiled and waved his hand: "Come in, I knew it was you."
"To unite four classes and make such a big fuss, who else but you can do it?"
"Okay, everyone has been beaten. It's useless no matter how much you say. I'll ask Jiang Pai later and see what he says."
"Go to bed and don't cause any trouble for me."
Zhao Lifei scolded him lightly, turned around and left.
Chen Ming heard that what the monitor just said about going to Jiang Pai was just to give him an excuse. If he really wanted to deal with him, why bother asking?
Besides, the squad leaders would definitely be unhappy with similar "stealing guns" tests. Their guns were taken away by veterans. According to the regulations in previous years, they were handed over directly to the company commander.
They, the squad leaders, were inevitably scolded by the company commander.
It's just that this can't be said clearly.
Chen Ming probably understood it, but he didn't necessarily understand it as did the rest of the group.
Wang Shuaibing watched the squad leader walk away, his brows knitted into knots, and he said worriedly: "Brother Chen, you shouldn't have admitted just now that there were too many people taking action. At worst, each person will be punished with one or two hundred push-ups. This is better. This is better." You bear the blame alone."
Chen Ming smiled and didn't intend to explain.
Just as he was about to tell everyone to continue resting, the "buzzing" sound in the sky came again, and this time the sound was particularly clear.
Hearing the noise, a group of people looked up to the sky in shock. Fifty or sixty meters away, a helicopter was slowly landing at a low altitude.
Such a big iron bird suddenly came over and shocked everyone present.
"Holy shit, this is a helicopter?? Didn't you just shoot a few gun-stealing bastards, and you even sent out a helicopter?" Wang Shuaibing was shocked and his whole body felt bad.
Who has seen this kind of scene before?
Not only did they cause a commotion, all the recruits in the entire camp were so shocked by the scene that they were not sleepy anymore. They stood up and looked at the location where the helicopter landed.
The platoon leaders of several brigades were also puzzled.
There is no need for a helicopter to come over during training for new recruits.
Jiang Peng stood in the distance and looked at the white shark printed on the fuselage with its mouth wide open. He recognized that the person coming this time was not from the Army Aviation Brigade, but from the Sea Shark Special Forces Brigade.
He was a little confused, why were the people from the special operations brigade coming here in the middle of the night, with no village in front of them and no store behind them?
Unable to figure out the other party's intentions, several platoon commanders just watched on the spot. They wouldn't be able to get through unless the plane stopped steadily.
As for the new recruits, they began to gather together and looked into the distance with the same curiosity. They waited until the helicopter stopped, the cabin door opened, and a lieutenant colonel jumped out of the cabin.
Jiang Pengcai walked over quickly and saluted: "Hello, comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I am Jiang Peng, platoon leader of the second company of the first battalion of long-range rocket artillery in the artillery brigade. I am currently leading the artillery brigade to conduct field training for new recruits."
"Hello, I am Qin Dong, the commander of the second battalion of the Tiger Shark Special Operations Brigade of the 71st Army." Qin Dong returned the greeting.
He looked up at the recruits not far away, frowned and said, "I'm sorry, Platoon Commander Jiang, your field training subjects must be suspended first. Please lead the team back to the camp tonight."
"The joint military training headquarters has issued a notice that the military training will officially start at noon tomorrow. At that time, all peripheral areas will be sealed and no one will be allowed to enter."
"Your place is close to the closed area, please return immediately."
"The military training is about to begin? So suddenly?" Jiang Peng was slightly startled.
Every year before the start of major military training, a minimum of one week of war games will be conducted. After all, it is impossible for two armies to rush into a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people and fight randomly.
War game deduction is to directly inform the enemy troops of the tactics and strategic purposes of both sides, and let the enemy troops come up with strategies and then proceed to the next step of the deduction.
It is equivalent to a regional war. It evolves from the war game first. The major military training focuses on tactics, strategy and command capabilities at all levels.
What is being honed is the combat capability of the troops and the coordination ability between all levels, not just to eliminate all opponents.
A whole group army, tens of thousands of people at every turn, if they really want to start a fight and completely destroy the opponent's entire deployment, they will not be able to do so within a few months.
What's more, there is not much difference in strength between the group armies, so such a confrontation is meaningless.
From here, it is enough to see how important the war game deduction is. Jiang Peng really did not expect that it would advance to war so quickly.
If the joint command really issues an order to start the war at noon tomorrow, artillery shells will be fired in advance in some insignificant wastelands on the periphery of the war zone.
The purpose of this is to allow both parties involved in the war to experience the atmosphere of war to the greatest extent.
The only way for them to train is to circle outside the large training area.
Jiang Peng frowned. Before he received the order from the brigade headquarters, the special operations brigade arrived.
I'm afraid these guys have already scanned their location through high-altitude infrared thermal imaging.
"Platoon Commander Jiang? Please lead your comrades back to the military camp immediately. The Tang Brigade already knew about it before I set off. The order will be passed on to you on your way back."
"I have to patrol other areas and seal them overnight. Go back quickly."
Qin Dong urged again, turned around and left. He was also from the artillery brigade, so he made a special trip.
Otherwise, according to the past rules, how could they talk so much nonsense and directly arrange for people from the special operations battalion to come and blockade them.
Chen Ming and the others stood in the distance and had no idea what was going on. They only saw someone coming out of the helicopter. After muttering for a long time, Jiang Peng came back with an anxious look.
"Blow the assembly whistle, hurry up, get ready, training is cancelled, return to camp overnight."
"Arrange the squad leaders of each class to gather quickly and take roll call."
After Jiang Peng explained, he quickly ran to the other platoon leaders and explained what had just happened.
The entire camp immediately took action. No one would treat such an emergency evacuation as a joke. If the evacuation was slow, there would be real trouble.
But we can't blame them. Recruit training is definitely not something they, the platoon leaders, can decide. They have already reported it to the brigade headquarters, but I didn't expect the order from the joint command to be issued so quickly.
Beep-beep beep beep beep beep, the death whistle sounded again.
"Every class, every brigade, everyone pack up and gather."
The rapid whistle pierced the night sky, and the recruits who were originally watching the excitement were given the order to pack their bags without any delay.
He quickly rushed to the area where he had just rested and stuffed the bedding and quilt into his backpack.
While Wang Shuaibing was cleaning up, he asked fearfully: "Brother Chen, do you think something will happen? Why did a plane just come and let us gather right away?"
"There won't be a war, right?"
"What to fight with?" Chen Ming quickly packed his backpack, put the gun on his back, and warned: "Brothers, check carefully when packing, don't forget anything here."
"Go through all the guns, helmets, grenade belts, and bullet belts. Shoulder bags, gas masks, and personal toiletries are all taken with you."
The entire camp was full of people packing up, and the squad leader also held a flashlight and kept lighting the surroundings. The tension spread to everyone in an instant.
"Each class, please hurry up and assemble as one, fast."
"Comrades, we received a short notice that this training session has been cancelled. We must return to the camp tonight."
"Everyone should cheer up. When we are on our way, the monitors and deputy of each squad will be watching the personnel on the left and right to make sure they don't fall behind."
"After gathering, take the group as a unit, take roll call, and set off."
Orders were issued one after another, and when they first heard that the field training subjects were cancelled, they were suddenly very happy.
But when they thought that they had to rely on their legs to go back, few people thought this was a good thing.
This road is more than 40 kilometers long, and most of them are rugged and winding mountain roads. They are not too steep, but they are very difficult to walk.
After finishing packing, under Zhao Lifei's urging, the eleven classes of the second brigade quickly gathered.
He took the lead into the night and set off in the direction of the military camp.
With the brigade as a unit, there is no need to load the supply truck on the return trip, and it is easier to manage more than 100 people.
As soon as we set off here, Jiang Peng shouted from behind: "Everyone is here, move forward quickly and get out of this mountain road. The brigade has arranged vehicles to pick up people."
"Chen Ming."
"arrive."
"You are still the leader, carrying the flag and leading the way for the comrades behind. The squad leader of each class is always checking the status of each class."
"yes."
After Chen Ming received the instruction, he held the flag again and walked back the way he came, one step at a time.
The first field training in my military career was aborted.
