The launching ceremony of the escort was held in Tianya City. It set off from the dock of a certain destroyer detachment. A destroyer, a frigate and a comprehensive supply ship participating in the escort had already docked at the dock. The ships were fully loaded with supplies and fuel. All preparations are made before departure.
Li Zheng's special warfare unit arrived at the destroyer detachment base in the morning, where they began to move all weapons and equipment, reconnaissance equipment and other materials onto the ship, store and register them, and put personal living supplies into the living room. After doing all this in the locker of the cabin, everyone was chatting under the shade of the trees on the shore.
After all, judging from the past experience of others going on escort missions, it can take as little as a hundred days or as long as two hundred days.
This is a new and slightly nervous thing for some dragon commandos who have never participated in a long voyage.
They usually move within the waters of their home country. Even if they go out to sea for training with submarines or ships, it usually doesn't last more than a month.
This time it was to the Gulf of Aden, which is in the Indian Ocean. The voyage covered tens of thousands of kilometers. The voyage would only stop at specific ports for supplies, so people had to stay at sea most of the time.
What is the real sea like?
Many people have never seen it.
For Fatty Wei, this is another good time for him to brag.
After all, he is a real man who has survived on a desert island for a month. This experience alone can make him proud for a lifetime.
Li Zheng and Hou Jun were already tired of this experience of Fatty Wei that they had told about hundreds of times, so they stood aside and watched Fatty Wei act coquettishly.
Hou Jun asked Li Zheng: "Does your grandma know that you went to escort?"
Li Zheng said: "I know, I told her."
Hou Jun smiled and said: "Are you willing to give up?"
Li Zheng said: "What's the reluctance? My grandma is very tolerant. I called her and told her that I was going to be escorted, maybe for half a year. What do you think she said?"
Hou Jun asked: "How to say?"
Li Zhengdao: "She said that she has been mentally prepared for a long time. Whether it is raising children or raising grandchildren, she will submit to the country when she is satisfied, and she will accept her when she is not satisfied. She said that I am a member of the army. She has been mentally prepared for a long time. She does not expect I’m at my knees with Cheng Huan.”
As he spoke, Li Zheng suddenly felt his nose was a little sore, so he stretched out his hand to rub it.
He didn't want to continue this topic, so he pointed the fire at Hou Jun and said, "Old squad leader, I heard that you went back to your hometown for a blind date at the beginning of the year?" How is it? Who was introduced to you? Do you have any photos?
Hou Jun's time as a soldier was more or less related to the village beauty. Although she had already married to another woman and her children were all in soy sauce, it has become a thing of the past, but he himself has always been single.
This has nothing to do with whether Hou Jun can let go. After all, he is too busy in the army. In the early years, he was trying hard to achieve first-class meritorious service. After the meritorious service was promoted, he became even busier. After the Spring Festival last year At the end of the war preparation period, Tong Zhi, who had just been promoted to company commander, forced him to visit his family, so he went back.
For the Hou family, Hou Jun can be regarded as a proud ancestor.
The plaques for the first-class meritorious officials were brought to the village by the leaders of the city's military division and a group of cadres from the county and townships. They invited an honor guard to play gongs and drums and sent them to the village. Hou Jun said that only a million firecrackers were burned in the village. plate.
In the words of the village chief, in ancient times this would have been a proper martial arts champion.
After doing this, Hou Jun became famous in all the villages and towns in his hometown, and everyone knew that a certain family in Houjia Village had a first-class hero.
In the past, when Hou Jun had not yet proposed to join the army, there were not many marriage proposals in the village, but there were only three or two kittens, and occasionally a matchmaker came.
But now that Hou Jun has been promoted and has made a meritorious service, this threshold has really been stepped down three inches by the matchmaker. Many of the blind dates are unmarried girls with public offices in the county.
Li Zheng also understood.
After all, they are cadres and first-class meritorious officials. It would be great for these two to get together and be resettled when they change jobs in the future. The unit can pick them at will.
Hou Jun has transformed from a local sweet potato that no one cared about back then to a favorite in his hometown.
Seeing Li Zheng mention this matter, Hou Jun couldn't help but blush, waved his hand and said: "Why are you bringing this up with me? Why don't you tell me how you are with that commander's daughter? She is the one who came to our brigade's women's special operations class... ...What is it called? Yes, Shao Xiaoqian."
Li Zheng said: "She and I have always been like this. She now works in a department directly under the war zone. It's not like you don't know."
Hou Jun said: "By the way, have you ever visited your future father-in-law's house in the past few years to settle down your marriage?"
Li Zheng thought for a while and shook his head: "Not really. You also know that I have been running around everywhere in the past few years. Where do I get the time?"
Hou Jun said: "Li Zheng, Li Zheng, you don't know how to cherish me at all. Do you know how many young cadres are staring at your girlfriend? Speaking of which, you are not particularly handsome, aren't you just good at shooting with a sniper rifle?" As for academic qualifications, graduate students in war zones are getting a lot of attention these days, so why don’t you strike while the iron is hot? Do you really think you are a lion on the grassland, peeing on a tree trunk and declaring that this is your territory and no one can touch it? Already?"
Li Zheng was blushing when he was spoken to by Hou Jun's unique veteran tone, but when he thought about it, he realized that what Hou Jun said was true.
When it comes to love, I am a bit slow. I always feel that whether it is getting married or falling in love, it will all happen naturally and it will be successful the day it comes to fruition.
When Hou Jun said this, he really felt that he had not even visited Shao Xiaoqian's home in the past few years. Except that Shao Xiaoqian took him home to confirm their relationship before joining the army. I went to meet Mr. Shao.
The words of the old squad leader were rough and unreasonable. There were so many young talents in the war zone. After graduating from the military academy, Shao Xiaoqian worked in the Intelligence Bureau of the Joint Staff Headquarters in the war zone. Every day, she came into contact with young cadres with high academic qualifications...
It's really a bit of a sense of crisis...
"Li Zheng, look!"
Just when Li Zheng was in a daze, Hou Jun suddenly elbowed him hard with his elbow.
"Is that our brigade commander's car?"
The brigade commander's car?
Li Zheng was suddenly startled and looked in the direction of Hou Jun's finger.
Sure enough, a jeep with an Army license plate was driving this way.
Li Zheng remembered the license plate of the Tiger Brigade clearly.
The brigade commander's license plate is known to everyone in the brigade.
At first glance, it turned out to be the brigade commander's license plate.
The two men immediately greeted him.
When the car stopped, the door opened solemnly and appeared in their sight.
"Hello, Brigadier!"
The two men stepped forward and saluted.
After putting down his hand, Hou Jun rushed to ask: "Brigade commander, why are you here?"
This is the Navy's destroyer detachment dock, and today is also the day when the Navy escort formation sets sail for the Gulf of Aden to escort.
The Tiger Brigade is from the Army and is not expected to come to see him off.
If you come, it means that you are here specifically for the two of you.
He solemnly looked at Hou Jun and Li Zheng and said: "You are going to sail away, aren't you? I have known the news for a long time. In the past few days, cadres of the theater brigade and above are holding a tactical seminar on joint operations at the fleet headquarters. , I just stopped by to see you and see you off."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and patted Li Zheng, and then patted Hou Jun.
"Very good. Not fat, nor thin. It's a bit darker, which shows that you have worked hard here. I have always understood your situation. The feedback and evaluation of you here are very good. You have not lost our Tiger Brigade. Face."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a "Hello, brigade commander" coming from the side, and a black shadow suddenly arrived in front of several people.
Taking a closer look, it was Fatty Wei.
This guy performed a standard military salute. After finishing the ceremony, his little eyes narrowed: "Brigadier, do you still remember me?!"
Asking for a monthly ticket!
