After running back to the row room, Li Zheng paid a special visit to the company commander Qi Sheng.
Qi Sheng took some medicine last night and stayed up all night with his hands on the quilt. His condition seemed much better.
"You look better."
Li Zheng poured him a glass of hot water and brought it to him.
Qi Sheng stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the ground with his head raised, as if waiting for his soul to return to his body.
Afterwards, he got Li Zheng's hot water, took a sip and said, "It seems that my body is still okay, isn't it? I made it through."
Li Zheng asked him: "Do you still feel like you're going to catch a cold?"
What he was most worried about was that Qi Sheng would catch a cold if he couldn't bear it.
Qi Sheng's answer reassured him.
"there is none left."
As he spoke, he shook his head vigorously.
"My head doesn't hurt much anymore, I just feel like I'm a little out of shape."
After saying that, he stood up and picked up the towel, toothpaste and toothbrush.
"I'm going to wash my face and wake up first. I'll go to the squadron later to see if there's anything wrong with me. It's best if our soldiers don't have any problems."
"Then you go, I'll go to the squadron first to check on the situation."
Speaking of this, Li Zheng suddenly became worried.
Qi Sheng is fine, where are the soldiers?
These backbones are all selected. Although there is a backup plan if something goes wrong, it will also affect the best battle.
The two of them acted separately.
When Li Zheng arrived in the big row room, everyone else got up.
Because of the competition this morning, there is no morning exercise, and each team will make their own arrangements.
After all, there are so many representative teams coming, all belonging to different units, so it would be a waste of time to organize collective exercises.
"How are you feeling?"
Li Zheng asked about the situation when he opened his mouth without beating around the bush.
"If anyone feels uncomfortable, please tell me immediately."
"Report to the deputy company commander, the ninth squad leader and the ninth squad deputy are not feeling well."
A private stood up.
Li Zheng glanced around the bed frame and looked in the direction of the sound. It was Ma Liang from Class Nine.
Class 9 is the company's repair class, responsible for emergency repairs of drones.
It can be said that this is a very critical class.
Once something goes wrong with the drones and launch vehicles, we have to rely on them.
Two monitors fell?
Li Zhengxin shouted that something was wrong and walked over with three steps followed by two steps.
"What's going on?"
Arriving at the bed of Squad Leader Xu Nuo, Li Zheng bent over and looked at the bed, only to see Squad Leader Xu Nuo lying on the bed with a very painful expression.
Li Zheng reached out and touched it, feeling a little warm.
So he quickly asked: "Promise? How do you feel?"
Xu Nuo opened his eyes and saw Li Zheng, the deputy company commander. He hurriedly struggled to sit up and kept saying, "It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy."
"Faint?" Li Zheng said, "I think you are sick, your forehead is very hot."
Xu Nuo said: "Don't listen to their nonsense..."
As he spoke, he sat up and struggled out of bed.
"I just want to squint a little longer to recharge my batteries..."
Before he finished speaking, he stood up and sat back down on the bed with a groan.
"Come on, don't be brave."
He turned to look at Wang Maocai, the deputy of Class 9, and saw that he had the same problem as the leader of Class 9, he couldn't get up either.
But he was more serious than promised, his face was as white as paper.
"Platoon leader, arrange for two people to help them go to the health team! Don't wait any longer!"
"yes!"
A platoon leader quickly found two soldiers in his platoon and asked them to take Xu Nuo and Wang Maocai to the health team.
After the others left, Li Zheng scolded the platoon leader: "Wang Shoucheng, what kind of plane are you doing?! Both soldiers are like this. It must not have been like this this morning. Why didn't you report it?! What did I explain before? ?! Do you know that if something goes wrong on the plateau, it could be fatal?!"
Last night, Li Zheng was responsible for arranging everyone's accommodation and personal belongings. When he left, he warned him that if he felt uncomfortable, he must report it to him immediately.
The first platoon leader looked very aggrieved and said to the deputy company commander, it wasn't that I didn't report it, it was the ninth squad leader and the ninth deputy who said it was okay. When I got up in the morning, I saw them groaning for a long time, so I asked, and they said it was okay. , I said I wanted to report to you, but they were in a hurry with me... I thought it would be good to just let them slow down...
In fact, Li Zheng also saw it.
The platoon leader must also know that the matter is big or small.
Not reporting it must have been the result of the begging from the ninth squad leader and the ninth deputy, because once they knew about it, they would definitely not let the two soldiers go to the field and go to the health team instead.
For these backbones in the company, they can represent the entire brigade in the competition, and it is the first time for the UAV battalion to participate in an army-wide competition. No one is willing to miss this opportunity.
Otherwise, once you miss it, it will be hard to say whether there will be a second time in your military career.
And grassroots officers like the platoon leader know the soldiers best and know what this kind of competition means to an ordinary soldier.
Who hasn’t survived the military?
So he chose to hide it for the time being, probably to see if it was going to work out in the end. If it really wasn't going to work, he would report it.
But I didn't expect that before the end, Li Zheng came first.
"If anything happens to them, I'll punish you!"
Li Zheng usually doesn't say harsh words, and it's even rarer for him to get angry.
But this time it's different.
This kind of head must not be opened.
Although he also understood what the two soldiers were thinking, as an officer, if he started, everyone would hide their injuries and conditions because of competitions in the future. This trend cannot last forever. After all, you only live once, and it is not a necessary time on the battlefield. , it’s not even worth doing.
After saying that, he turned around and went out, intending to go find Qi Sheng and Mo San to discuss what to do.
As soon as he went out, he ran into Qi Sheng who was coming over after washing his face.
"Not to mention, applying this cold water to your face will make you feel more energetic..."
Suddenly, he seemed to feel that something was wrong.
So he asked: "What happened?"
Li Zheng said: "The ninth squad leader and the ninth squad deputy lie down, probably because they are not used to it."
"The two of them are in charge of repairs. Today is a real flight competition. I think there will definitely be something wrong with the referee team today. It may involve temporary repairs." Qi Sheng said in surprise: "Where are the others?"
Li Zheng said: "Everything else is fine. Just these two squad leaders are lying down. You say it's evil or not."
While the two were talking, Mo San came down from upstairs and saw the two standing at the door of the terrace talking. He came up and asked, "What are you two still doing here? Get ready quickly and organize everyone to have breakfast. After eating, we will go." Time to check the equipment."
He looked at his watch: "Let's leave on time at eight o'clock, only half an hour left."
Li Zheng informed him of the situation and said that the two squad leaders of Class 9 were not used to the high altitude and the temperature, so they were sent to the health team.
"Ahem! Shame on you!"
Mo San said: "You're still in the special operations brigade, aren't you? Going to the plateau and reacting to this and that, this kind of physical fitness is not as good as that of a girl in the communications camp!"
After he said this, he seemed to remember something and glanced at Qi Sheng secretly.
Qi Sheng said: "If it really doesn't work, I will do it myself!"
Li Zhengle said, "Don't even think about it. The list was posted in the morning newspaper, and you are not on the list. What's more, you are a company commander, so you can go up in person?" What do people think?
Qi Sheng said: "This is a special situation for me."
Li Zheng said: "Don't think about it. I have participated in many competitions. I have never seen an officer take the place of his own soldiers. If it doesn't work, just quit. It's that simple."
Qi Sheng said: "It is impossible to withdraw from the competition!"
Mo San said: "What are you talking about? Let's adjust it. From the original force of the ninth class, choose two people with good majors to act as squad leader and deputy squad leader. Then, can people who are familiar with this major from other classes be able to fill in the numbers? These nine The soldiers in the squad usually practice with their squad leader, they are familiar with three hundred Tang poems, and they can also recite poems even if they can’t compose them, so they can’t be too bad, right?”
Li Zheng said: "This is the only thing we can do now."
While the others were talking, Han Xiaobei arrived.
He asked with a dark face, "What's going on with you?! I've already arrived at the dining hall, but when I saw none of you came, we're leaving in less than half an hour. What kind of plane are you planning on!"
Qi Sheng said to Li Zheng: "Deputy company commander, you organize them to have breakfast, and I will adjust the personnel."
Li Zheng knew that he couldn't afford to waste time.
At present, two key members of Class Nine are lying down. This cannot change the fact, but the time for the competition cannot be delayed.
So he said: "Then I will organize everyone to have breakfast, company commander, what Lao Mo said just now is correct, this is the only way."
Han Xiaobei looked at the people with confusion and asked, "What happened?"
Li Zheng didn't say anything and turned to organize the company officers and soldiers to have breakfast, leaving Qi Sheng to explain to the deputy brigade commander.
By the time Li Zheng came back from breakfast, it was already fifteen minutes later.
In ten minutes, all the officers and soldiers participating in the competition have to gather at the large playground. After briefly clarifying the subjects of today's competition, they set off for the competition venue on time at 8:30.
Time is very tight.
Before setting off, Xu Nuo and Wang Maocai both came back and ran to Qi Sheng to request to return to the team to fight.
"Company Commander, we have no problem, let us go!"
"Yes, it's no problem. I just took antipyretic medicine and took oxygen. I feel lively again."
Qi Sheng looked at the two soldiers in front of him, struggling in his heart.
These two backbones were trained by him, and they are also experts in the company's maintenance profession. They have strong on-the-spot processing capabilities and can quickly diagnose faults.
But this time we were flying a mid-range drone, which weighed more than a ton and required a crane to lift it onto the vehicle. If something went wrong, it was also a physical job to hoist it up for repairs and inspections. .
Can Xu Nuo and Wang Maocai hold on?
This is a problem.
If I can't hold on and something happens, it'll be really over.
Not to mention the ranking, the main thing is that if something happens to Bing's body, he will not be able to feel at ease for the rest of his life.
"I think this is it. Follow us first. Once they get there, let them go if they feel they can go." Li Zheng said, "Don't waste time here. Prepare two sets of plans. The best they can go, but if they can't go, It’s just the others who take the lead.”
Seeing the deputy company commander begging for mercy, Xu Nuo and Wang Maocai nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, the deputy company commander is right... Company commander, we brought out Class 9, you brought us out, just go there and see the scene. Even if we don’t go into battle, the soldiers will feel relieved when they see the two of us, not to mention that we can give guidance even though we can’t do anything ourselves.”
"boarding!"
Qi Sheng said no more and gave the order with a wave of his hand.
Everything has risks.
He took this risk.
"Ask the health worker to follow them and bring some emergency medicine." Li Zheng didn't hesitate and got into the car.
The convoy left the camp and slowly drove towards the distant mountains.
Today is a real flight, but it is not a battlefield simulation, so we will follow the daily real flight process after arriving at the designated location, from occupying the launch position, to hoisting the body, assembling the wings, installing the tail boom, and then launching the drone. Conduct reconnaissance on different targets in the designated area, collect intelligence and then merge it into a picture. Finally, a comprehensive score is given based on the quality of operations and time taken in all aspects to determine the first place.
The two most important points are - time, intelligence accuracy and quality.
After driving dozens of kilometers, the convoy finally stopped.
I got out of the car and looked around. This is a relatively flat hinterland surrounded by mountains. There are short and yellowish grass on the ground, and in the distance are high mountains covered with white snow.
Qi Sheng couldn't help but show a solemn expression on his face.
It was the harshest environment he had ever flown.
The altitude here is more than 5,000 meters, and there are many mountains and complex terrain structures. In the plateau area, the weather varies ten miles away, the oxygen content is low, and the terrain conditions are dangerous. The risk of flight increases exponentially with distance and altitude. However, the cardiopulmonary function of people here is only that of the plains. Less than 60% of the area is on the ground. The competition here is not only a test of people, but also a test of equipment and technical level.
There is no better way than to test a new aircraft model and the backbone of the force.
"The participating teams from each unit will send the finalized list of participants to the registration point for registration and receive the competition number plate, right away!"
As the on-site conductor blew the whistle and made a loud sound, all participating teams suddenly became nervous.
The chief officers of each unit gathered together and began to decide on the final candidate.
Li Zheng saw that a team from a brother unit next to him was also arguing about who should play. It seemed that it was not just the members of the Tiger Brigade who were experiencing high symptoms. (End of chapter)
