Chapter 157 Codename: Operation Sword 1997
"Beep beep..."
"Everyone in the company will gather at the big playground."
The third platoon leader blew the whistle and gave orders, and all the soldiers in the company rushed out from their dormitories and ran to the large playground behind to gather in front of the red flag.
They discovered that the persons in charge of the three major items of the company had arrived before them.
Military chief Gao Cheng had a bright smile on his face, with two brown paper document bags tucked under his arm. Political chief Hong Xingguo and "chief instructor" Chen Jun stood on both sides.
"Reporting to the company commander, the entire company has assembled. There should be ninety-nine people, and ninety-five are actually present. Two people are on guard and the clerk is on duty. Please give instructions." The third platoon leader saluted and reported.
"Take a break."
Gao Cheng returned the greeting and gave the order.
"Yes."
The third platoon leader saluted, turned around, gave the command to stand at ease, and walked to the front of the team in unison.
"Everyone has worked hard recently and has made great contributions. You have all performed well. I have gathered everyone here today to announce two things, two great things..."
Gao Cheng was in a very good mood at this time, and his voice was particularly loud when he spoke.
First, he took out Chen Jun's appointment order and announced to everyone in front of the entire company that Chen Jun was promoted to deputy company commander and became a member of the company's Party branch.
Chen Jun's prestige in the company had already reached its peak, and his promotion to deputy company commander was a natural outcome.
When all the soldiers in the company heard the good news, they were so excited that they applauded and congratulated Chen Jun wildly. The applause was so loud that it pierced the sky.
From this moment on...
Platoon leader Chen has become a thing of the past, and Deputy Company Commander Chen has officially taken over.
Will continue to lead everyone forward.
Chen Jun was promoted to deputy company commander, and the position of platoon leader became vacant. The regiment did not arrange a platoon leader, so the company headquarters could handle it temporarily on its own.
On the way back from the regiment, Gao Cheng discussed this issue with Chen Jun.
The suggestions given by Chen Jun were adopted by Gao Cheng.
Chen Jun said that after the integration of the platoon, the logistics support squad and the mobile squad follow the company headquarters in the process of performing combat missions.
The remaining spearhead reconnaissance squads basically communicated directly with the company, skipping the platoon level.
It is equivalent to a class directly under the company.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether a platoon has a platoon leader or not. The company headquarters can manage it directly, and the deputy company commander Chen Jun can be in charge of the command, or he can still be in charge of it on behalf of the company.
but.
Although the role of a platoon leader is not significant, this position is of great value.
It's such a waste to just leave it there empty.
Chen Jun suggested that Shi Jin be promoted to acting platoon leader, and let him be the acting platoon leader of the first platoon. With his qualifications and experience, he is qualified for the job.
The most important thing is that the squad leader acts as the platoon leader, which is a very common situation in our army.
Shi Jinlai served as the acting platoon leader. There was not much he needed to do. In actual work training, he still followed the spearhead reconnaissance squad.
With the work experience of acting platoon leader, Shi Jin's personal resume will be taken to a higher level.
In order for Shi Jin to be successfully promoted to level four and avoid being laid off and sent home after the military reform reduced the number of positions, Chen Jun has been trying every means to improve Shi Jin's resume.
The acting platoon leader is a very important position. How can we miss such a good opportunity?
Gao Cheng's desire to keep Shi Jin was no less than Chen Jun's, and he had said in public that he would use all means to keep Shi Jin.
Chen Jun's proposal was obviously to help Shi Jin, so how could Gao Cheng refuse?
It was confirmed that Shi Jin would serve as the acting platoon leader.
When Shi Jin becomes the acting platoon leader of the first platoon, his position as the third squad leader will become vacant, which can be naturally given to Wu Liuyi.
The conditions for promotion are limited to sergeant and below, and the age must be under 26.
Both of these items are exceeded, there is nothing we can do.
Wu Liuyi fits the bill perfectly.
In addition, he has now won two third-class merits and a collective second-class merit, so it will not be a problem for him to get the signatures of the entire company for promotion.
The only thing missing for promotion is basically one final item, which is more than one year of core experience.
It's a good time to let things take their own course and start building up a solid resume.
The word "brush" may seem a bit utilitarian, but excellent non-commissioned officers like Wu Liuyi and Shi Jin were stuck with some minor problems.
Using the word "brush" to describe it seems more appropriate.
After all, before Chen Jun came, Wu Liuyi had always been the strongest soldier in the 7th Steel Company, with top skills and expertise in all aspects.
If Wu Liuzhi hadn't just wanted to follow Shi Jin, he would have been willing to be Shi Jin's deputy squad leader.
If Wu Liuyi was transferred to any class, he would have been the class monitor for many years.
When Wu Liuyi was promoted to squad leader, the position of deputy squad leader became vacant. Gao Cheng took the initiative to mention that Chengcai was qualified for promotion and his performance in all aspects was outstanding among the veterans, so he could be trained in advance.
I think it’s a good idea for Chengcai to take over as deputy monitor.
After serving as a deputy squad leader for half a year or a year, and after the basic assessment organized by the group army is completed, Chengcai will be transferred to other squads to serve as squad leader during the training break.
This operation will meet the conditions for promotion and reserve another outstanding cadre for the 7th Steel Company.
Gao Cheng's idea is indeed very logical. Chengcai has risen from the strongest recruit to the rank of private first class. There are indeed few veterans who can compare with him.
But Chen Jun knew Chengcai better than anyone else and felt that this was not very appropriate.
Yi Chengcai's current qualifications are still a bit too shallow. Class 3 is the ace class that gathers the top masters in the entire company. He cannot control them as the deputy squad leader.
Moreover, Chengcai's temperament is still very unstable. Giving him too much sunshine will make him overly brilliant.
Recommended to Xie Chong from Class 3.
Xie Chong has been a first-class non-commissioned officer for three years. He also passed the test of the Hell Furnace and became one of the top ten generals participating in the mid-year competition.
Although he did not get any individual first place, his contribution to the team is obvious to all.
The third-class group merit and the second-class group merit mean that his qualifications are not bad. In all aspects, he is more talented than the private first class and is more suitable for the current third squad.
There are too many experts in the sharp knife reconnaissance squad, and Chengcai needs to improve himself if he wants to become the squad leader.
Gao Cheng has complete confidence in Chen Jun's abilities and takes Chen Jun's suggestions very seriously. He is not as stubborn as he is with other people.
In the end, Gao Cheng followed Chen Jun's advice and made the final adjustment list.
So after announcing Chen Jun as the deputy company commander, the new adjustments were announced to the entire company.
Shi Jin was officially appointed as the acting platoon leader of the first platoon, and continued to train with the third squad. Wu Liuyi was promoted to squad leader of the third squad, and Xie Chong to deputy squad leader of the third squad.
When Shi Jin, Wu Liuyi and Xie Chong heard the order, they did not react for a while.
I never thought that pie would fall from the sky.
The three of them are veterans of the 7th Steel Company. Xie Chong, who has served the shortest, has been there for more than five years and has very good relationships within the company.
The three benefited from Chen Jun's promotion and received warm applause from all the soldiers in the company.
Shi Jin and the other two were awakened by the applause of congratulations. They were so excited that they couldn't express it in words when they thought that the company trusted them so much.
As the prolonged applause slowly came to an end, Gao Cheng then dropped the final bombshell.
He announced publicly that he had received an order from the division. From today on, the 7th Steel Company would no longer be the 7th Armored Reconnaissance Company, but would become the first composite company in the entire division, the army group, or even the entire army.
The organization of the 7th Combined Reconnaissance Company will become the new name of this honorable division.
The soldiers of the Seventh Company have been looking forward to the day when the combined company is officially recognized, because it represents the efforts of everyone. Now the fruits have finally been harvested, and the Seventh Steel Company has officially obtained a new organization.
And it is the first in the entire division, or even the entire army, which means that everyone here has become a participant in history and can enjoy this glory.
The surging emotions completely erupted.
The clapping that turned both palms red, the shouting that was so excited that it became hoarse and out of tune, and the face that turned red due to the accelerated heartbeat were not enough to release the emotions at the moment.
The soldiers finally took off their hats and excitedly threw them into the sky with all their strength.
Fall down, pick it up, and continue throwing it into the sky.
The shouts and screams continued, and the entire company was immersed in a sea of excitement.
Gao Cheng, who was standing on the stage, did not interrupt the crazy actions of the soldiers below. He just watched it all with a satisfied smile, just like Chen Jun and Hong Xingguo.
From the initial preparations for the mid-year competition, to the subsequent preparations for the combined company, and the final confrontation exercise.
This lasted for more than a year. The soldiers were holding back their energy and were determined to do it. It was really exhausting after holding back their energy for so long.
Now that the flowers have finally bloomed and fallen, it's time for everyone to vent.
Nearly a hundred soldiers howled like mad wolves for several minutes, their voices almost hoarse.
Gaocheng celebrated this double happy moment and also wanted to motivate the soldiers to work hard.
It was announced that the entire company would hold a celebratory dinner tonight.
No requirements, just one sentence -
Drink as much as you want and work hard. If you don't have much meat, eat more meat. If you don't have much wine, eat more wine. Don't worry that the company is short of money. The deputy company commander will pay for all the expenses tonight.
As soon as the company commander Gao Cheng said this, the soldiers became even more excited.
"..."
Only Chen Jun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
If a platoon leader actually reports for the food and wine for the company-wide banquet with the salary he saved for a year by living frugally, there is a 80% chance that it will be completely eaten up by these guys.
But Chen Jun didn't feel bad about it, as he thought money should be spent wisely.
Tonight's dinner is the blade.
……
The carnival dinner of the Seventh Company was very decent. The soldiers all vented their emotions very happily, and the green sticks they drank piled up into a small mountain.
Beer isn't very strong, and everyone can easily drink two or three bottles.
There are more than a hundred people in the entire company, which is a huge number.
The kitchen staff simply didn't have that much stock, and in the end it was the Second Battalion Commander Li Fuguo who came to coordinate personally and borrowed enough food from several other companies of the Second Battalion.
Because it was indeed a good day for the Seventh Company.
The combined organization of the Seventh Company was officially implemented, and the cadres in the battalion also benefited from it.
Second Battalion Commander Li Fuguo also participated in the dinner and congratulated Gao Cheng, Chen Jun and others, and even waved his hand heroically at the end.
All the wine tonight will be provided by the camp.
This action of the second battalion commander Li Fuguo immediately won the favor of all the soldiers in the company.
Originally, because the company commander and the regiment commander had a good relationship, Gao Cheng would directly go to the regiment commander to resolve many issues, and the second battalion commander's presence was extremely low.
Although this kind of skipping levels does not comply with regulations, it is within the rules as he has a background.
Now that the second battalion commander has taken full charge of the battalion headquarters, his status in the entire company has instantly improved, and he has also gained the favor of Chen Jun and Gao Cheng.
What's more, the second battalion commander himself did not expect this.
This unintentional and unintended move gave him a very good start in the subsequent competition for the position of commander of the combined battalion.
Cause and effect.
It's just so amazing.
……
The organization of the 7th Combined Reconnaissance Company was officially established, and Chen Jun successfully became the deputy company commander of the 7th Company. The 7th Steel Company entered an unprecedented period of strength.
Normally, the confrontation exercise has come to an end, and what was supposed to happen has already happened.
After more than a year of continuous hard work, it is time for the 7th Steel Company to take a break and adjust the training rhythm so that the soldiers can relax.
However, driven by the wave of modern military reform, the 7th Steel Company is already at the forefront.
There are so many things to do!
Not to mention that the divisional headquarters had already notified that the army group's preliminary assessment of each unit of the T Division could fall on each regiment at any time.
As the core force of the 702nd Regiment, the th Steel Company must play a key role.
Otherwise it's all in vain.
Under such circumstances, the 7th Steel Company dared not relax at all.
The day after the celebratory dinner, the 7th Steel Company plunged into intensive training, and various basic or professional trainings were launched one after another.
Especially for the new recruits this year, all basic subjects need to be improved.
Military boxing, crawling skills, grappling techniques and other close combat skills are all required subjects for scouts, and they all have to be studied intensively.
Don't tell me yet.
Xu Sanduo had poor physical coordination. At the beginning, he couldn't practice the three major steps properly. He would fall down when turning around, and looked like a useless person.
However, when practicing these fighting events, he showed amazing talent.
Not only the reaction speed, but also the key points of the movements, he learns and understands faster than others, just like the martial arts genius in the movies.
Even Gao Cheng, who looked down on Xu Sanduo, had to look at him differently in this regard.
Only Chen Jun smiled and said nothing.
Xu Sanduo has indeed not awakened yet, but there is a soul in his body called "Wang Baoqiang", who is a master from Shaolin Temple.
Isn't it fast to learn fighting skills?
In addition to close combat skills, there are also various infiltration and reconnaissance skills, the most basic shooting, various tactical uses of armored vehicles, data theory learning of various weapons and equipment, etc.
There are dozens of training subjects, and every day's training is fully scheduled.
We even have to do night training at night.
The most work done at night is night shooting, and all physical training and equipment training are transferred to overtime work at night.
There simply aren’t enough hours in the day.
Under this high-pressure and high-intensity training, time flies like water.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
On the afternoon of June 1997, 6, an order and a directive finally came down from the regiment, making this ordinary day no longer ordinary.
The first order was the army group assessment that everyone had been looking forward to for a long time.
The order from the division headquarters has clearly stated that the entire 702nd Regiment needs to complete preparations for the mountain confrontation exercise code-named "Operation Sword 7" before July 25.
Be sure to take the special train from the military railway station on time at 7 am on July 26.
