Chapter 257 Landing! 7th Combined Assault Battalion!
Chapter 257 Landing! The th Combined Assault Battalion!
All the senior leaders present at the division level and above were well-informed people who had seen big scenes, but they were still shocked by the words of the theater commander.
This is enough to show how great the temptation is.
As the person who was "seduced", Chen Jun's faith in Taoism was broken under such circumstances no matter how calm and experienced he was.
Chen Jun had come into contact with high-ranking leaders at the war zone level in his life.
After all, he has lived several lifetimes.
However, Chen Jun had never experienced such a "blessing from heaven" as being noticed by a senior leader and personally recruited to become his subordinate.
With Chen Jun's understanding of the troops, he naturally knew how much help it would be to him.
Put aside other subsequent benefits.
Just talk about the conditions that have already been promised, and it will be obtained as long as Chen Jun nods.
Even though Gao Cheng had the background of a group army chief, it still took him three years to climb from company commander to deputy battalion commander of the division reconnaissance battalion in the original plot.
Even now with the help of Chen Jun, and having won many team and personal honors, Gao Cheng has only just become the deputy battalion commander.
But now, Chen Jun can become the deputy battalion commander immediately by just nodding his head.
And he is most likely the deputy battalion commander.
You should know that Zhurihe is also building a combined force, and the first one is the largest combined brigade, and the combined battalions under it must be reinforced battalions.
The battalion commander of the reinforced battalion is one level higher, which is equivalent to the deputy battalion commander of Chen Jun and Gao Cheng.
This means that Chen Jun took less than half a year to catch up with Gao Cheng, who took him three years, and was promoted two levels to be on par with Gao Cheng.
He started as a soldier after graduating from a military academy, became a platoon leader after six months of internship, a deputy company commander in less than a year, a company commander after more than a year, and jumped to a battalion-level cadre six months later. All in all, it was just over three years.
This speed definitely breaks the army group record.
Riding a rocket is not enough to describe it.
Anyone who faces such a great temptation and can jump directly from a company-level cadre to a battalion-level cadre will save at least five to ten years of hard work in between.
I would definitely agree without hesitation and take up this rare God-given opportunity.
However, Chen Jun is an exception.
No matter how tempted he is, no matter how rare this opportunity is for him, it cannot shake the bottom line in his heart.
Remember the soul of the 7th Steel Company——
Never give up! Never give up!
He led the 7th Steel Company to charge forward and became the most dazzling pearl.
So after a brief moment of surprise, Chen Jun put aside his chaotic emotions and answered seriously and solemnly: "Thank you for your kindness, Commander. I still hope to stay in the 7th Steel Company and continue to develop in the synthetic battalion."
"what???"
Everyone was shocked.
They felt that all the things that could shock them in their lives combined were not as many as what Chen Jun and Gao Cheng brought them in just a few minutes today.
No one can understand why Chen Jun would give up such a good opportunity.
Captain Wang, who was standing by, was getting very anxious.
If there weren't so many leaders in front of him, it would be inconvenient to do anything beyond the limit. He would definitely find Chen Jun again to persuade him.
The commander of the war zone was also very surprised. He didn't expect Chen Jun to refuse such a good opportunity.
He restrained his expression and frowned as he said again: "Do you want to think about it again? Or go back and think about it for a few days and then give me an answer. I think that's fine too."
The war zone chief really liked Chen Jun, so he didn't give up even after he refused.
pity.
Chen Jun is very determined and never changes his decision easily, especially when it comes to matters concerning his bottom line.
So even if the commander of the theater tried to persuade him to stay again, Chen Jun still said firmly: "I am from the 7th Steel Company, and I will be here for the rest of my life.
The spirit of the 7th Steel Company is to never abandon and never give up. Every soldier of the 7th Steel Company will engrave these six words and let them become the bones of the 7th Steel Company.
As the company commander of the 7th Steel Company, I must set an example for the entire company.
In life, I am a member of the 7th Steel Company. In death, I am a ghost of the 7th Steel Company."
Chen Jun spoke these words in a sonorous and powerful voice, and every word was as loud as gold, hitting everyone's soul heavily and shocking everyone's eyes.
"What a great guy who never gives up, what a great guy who is a member of the 7th Steel Company. Great."
The commander of the war zone praised Chen Jun several times. He was really moved by Chen Jun's integrity and courage. At the same time, he liked Chen Jun even more.
He is a young cadre with extremely strong military capabilities, strong ideological qualities, and a firm heart.
It's really rare!
The commander of the theater has been in the army for decades and has seen many different kinds of talents, many of whom are even the best in the entire army.
However, this was the first time he had seen someone as special as Chen Jun.
The heart that cherishes talent is really moved.
But even so, he didn't want to force him. He knew that Chen Jun's attitude was already very firm, so he didn't say anything else.
With a kind smile on his face again, he patted Chen Jun's arm and said, "Okay, everyone has their own goals, and I respect your choice.
My name is Chen Deming. If you have the opportunity to come to the military compound in the western suburbs of the capital, you are always welcome to come and see me for a drink of tea and a chat. "
The war zone chief took the initiative to give his name, indicating that he was willing to communicate with Chen Jun privately.
This shows how much he likes Chen Jun.
The group of division-level cadres who were watching nearby were surprised to see that Chen Jun, a small captain, was actually invited by the chief to have tea.
This is an "opportunity" that is out of reach for others and can play a big role at a critical moment.
Chen Jun naturally understood the ins and outs of this and did not miss this great opportunity.
He immediately replied in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Thank you, Chief. I will definitely work harder to qualify to go to the war zone as soon as possible and live up to your kindness."
"Well, I believe we will meet soon."
Chen Deming smiled meaningfully, and then said to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard today. Now that the exercise is over, I have other official duties to attend to, so I will leave first."
After saying that, Chen Deming walked outside, and others greeted the leader and asked him to take care.
The deputy commander of the military region gave a few instructions, asked the person in charge of the exercise to handle the follow-up matters, and then trotted a few steps to catch up with Chen Deming.
As soon as the military district leaders left, a group of division-level leaders came up.
"Congratulations, Captain Wang. You guys performed really well in this exercise."
"Old Ye, you have picked up a treasure. This young comrade is so young, but he has such outstanding performance. I am afraid he will be extraordinary in the future."
"Captain Chen, you were able to remain calm despite the invitation from the theater commander. I really admire you."
"Congratulations, Lao Ye, the exercise went smoothly. I'm afraid the first combined battalion in the entire army has been established. We are really envious of you." "Lao Ye, I heard that your combined battalion was created by Comrade Chen Jun. How about lending it to me? We also want to have a combined battalion."
"You wishful thinking, this young comrade is so popular right now, how can it be your turn, haha."
……
Being surrounded by a large group of people who were flattering him and showing their goodwill in various ways, Division Commander T, Ye Zhengjun, who usually had a serious face, could no longer hold back his expression.
I have never felt so proud as a teacher in all these years. This feeling is really exhilarating.
I feel light all over.
I can't control my urge to laugh!
Captain Wang took advantage of the fact that the division commander was surrounded and quietly pulled Chen Jun out of the tent. He sternly scolded Chen Jun for being ignorant and missing a good opportunity.
Let Chen Jun catch up with Chen Deming and have another chat with him before he goes far away.
Change your mind and become deputy battalion commander.
Although Chen Jun was so attached to the 702nd Regiment and was willing to give up better opportunities in order to stick to the 702nd Regiment, the regiment leader Wang Qingrui was very happy.
But the more Chen Jun did this, the more Captain Wang felt guilty.
I really don’t want to delay Chen Jun!
As a veteran head of a group who has been in the position of head for nearly ten years, he understands how difficult it is to take each step forward.
The opportunity to skip two levels was right in front of him, and Captain Wang really didn't want Chen Jun to miss it.
What's more, the place we are going to is extraordinary. It is a "national-level project" in which the General Staff of the Central Military Commission is directly involved. There are better development prospects there.
Captain Wang believed that with Chen Jun's ability, he would definitely be able to soar to success once he went to that place.
In ten years at most, I will be able to surpass him.
If you can become a regimental commander before the age of 35, and then a division commander around the age of 40, you will have the opportunity to command an army group before the age of 50.
As long as you can reach the army group before the age of fifty, you will have the opportunity to attack the war zone in the future.
Captain Wang really wanted to see Chen Jun accomplish something that he could never accomplish in his lifetime, so that even when he was old he could point to the TV and proudly say—
"Come here, dear grandson, did you see that? The uncle on TV was a soldier under Grandpa back then."
Captain Wang really cares about Chen Jun from the bottom of his heart. The feelings he has for Chen Jun are even stronger and deeper than those for his son. He completely forgets about his own interests.
However, Chen Jun's dream has been fixed since the moment he came into this world.
So no matter how much Captain Wang scolded him, Chen Jun still did not change his original intention, remained firm in his choice, and continued to stay in the 7th Steel Company.
Seeing that there was no way to change Chen Jun's choice, Captain Wang was really helpless.
"You silly boy..."
In the end, Captain Wang cursed with a smile, then he and Chen Jun looked at each other and laughed.
This smile...
It represents a lot of things!
……
The acceptance confrontation ended with the Red Army's crushing victory. The 702nd Regiment returned to its original base in a mighty procession, singing the song of victory.
To celebrate the victory in this confrontation, the 702nd Regiment was plunged into a sea of jubilation.
Under the personal order of Captain Wang, all the troops under the regiment held celebrations and dinners for two consecutive days. The scene was even more grand and lively than the Chinese New Year.
Chen Jun, the great contributor to this exercise, became the most popular person.
Not only was he invited to speak at meetings within the regiment, but Chen Jun also received commendations and awards from the regiment and division as if they were free.
There were suddenly three more third-class merit medals and honors on his clothes.
Adding the third-class merit, second-class merit and various collective and individual honor medals he had won previously, the total amount exceeded twenty pieces.
The left side of Chen Jun’s regular uniform was not big enough to hang, so he turned on the right side which only big guys were qualified to hang.
At the rate Chen Jun is winning medals and honors, I'm afraid that the front of his clothes won't be big enough to hang them before he can officially become the commander of a combined battalion.
He became the brightest star in the regiment and division headquarters, and after returning he was also a guest of honor in each company.
During the two-day regimental dinner, Chen Jun hardly ever stayed in his own Steel Company No. 7, and spent the entire time in other companies.
After one company finished drinking, the next company drank, and more than a dozen companies took turns.
Fortunately, Chen Jun's physical fitness is different from that of ordinary people, otherwise if he drank like this for two consecutive days, he would definitely be sent to the hospital and stay in bed for a week.
The 702nd Regiment was extremely lively, and everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.
The army group has no free time these two days.
The combined battalion passed the acceptance confrontation exercise, so the next step is to make it officially landed and become a true part of the 702nd Regiment.
Due to the special existence of the combined battalion, the procedures involved are very complicated.
There are even some procedures that even the army group has no control over, and they have to be compiled into documents and submitted to the war zone for approval.
Once all the procedures have been completed, even if it is with the green light, you can go through the special channel.
It's already ten days later!
The official red-headed document from the group army was escorted to the T Division by someone sent by the military region.
And he did not just drop off the documents at the T Division and leave. Instead, according to the order of the top leader of the military region, he went to the 702nd Regiment and personally handed them over to the regiment commander.
Division Commander Ye Zhengjun also knew how important this moment was to the T Division.
In order to witness the official launch of the combined battalion, he put aside all his official duties and personally drove to the 702nd Regiment.
Captain Wang, who had received the news in advance, knew that today would be an important day for the 702nd Regiment.
With great excitement and enthusiasm, all the company and battalion-level cadres and the regimental headquarters gathered in the regiment to welcome them.
They also organized a police communications company and a military drum corps, and lined up outside the gate to welcome the guests with musical instruments and singing.
A welcoming team of nearly 300 people solemnly welcomed T Division Commander Ye Zhengjun and the leaders of the group army to the large conference room of the 702nd Regiment.
After all the cadres were in place, the division commanders and army group leaders took their seats on the rostrum.
The final step in the implementation of the pilot combined battalion has officially begun.
"Today is a very important day. It not only opens a new chapter for the 702nd Regiment, but also a new starting point for our entire T Division..."
Division Commander Ye Zhengjun took the lead in giving opening remarks, and then began the formal landing procedures.
"Practicing modern development and promoting information-based reforms, the times are developing and the military also needs to make progress. At present, facts have proved that synthetic forces are one of the feasible directions, and the pilot work has been very successful..."
The chief of the military region spoke in an eloquent official language and then announced the first order from the military region.
Perhaps it was due to the expansion of the 7th Steel Company, or perhaps the 7th Steel Company played an important role in the synthetic battalion, so the pilot synthetic battalion was given a very special number -
It’s called the “7th Combined Assault Battalion”!
