Chapter 303: The 7th Steel Battalion's Combat Power Takes Off
Chapter 303: The Seventh Steel Battalion's Combat Power Takes Off
No matter what it is, the first time is more important.
The value that can be brought by winning the global military competition for the first time is also greater, at least double the usual value.
Chen Jun was promoted four levels in a row and took off on the spot. In the future, he is expected to break the record of the entire division or even the army group.
Become a group leader before the age of 30!
As the captain of the championship team, Chen Jun reaped a lot of rewards. Chengcai, Xu Sanduo, Wu Liuyi and Bater, who were also members of the championship team, also had good gains.
The four of them are still non-commissioned officers and have all received special approval from the war zone for promotion.
Regardless of whether certain conditions have not been met, they will no longer be used as reference conditions for promotion and will be sent directly to military academies for further study.
After completing one year of further training, the identity transformation will be completely completed.
From soldier to officer!
This step may sound simple, but it is the transformation that all soldiers who want to develop in the army want to achieve throughout their lives.
Moreover, four people including Chengcai and Xu Sanduo have been awarded first, second and third class merits many times.
After further training, the three of them will definitely start at the rank of lieutenant, which means they can work at least three years less than the conventional promotion to second lieutenant.
Chengcai, who has always been ambitious for promotion, couldn't stop smiling when he heard the news.
Wu Liuyi and Bater's faces were also flushed.
Exciting!
Only Xu Sanduo still had that silly smile on his face. In his mind, being a non-commissioned officer was the same as being an officer, both of which were doing meaningful things in the army.
He had no idea how important promotion would be to his future military career.
Wu Zhe, Tuo Yonggang and Qi Huan were all military officers. They were all promoted one level in rank and position, which was equivalent to being promoted twice in a row.
Although it is slightly inferior to Chen Jun, it is also of great benefit to the three of them.
I'm afraid that Wu Zhe's future status in Team A will soon change from a soldier to an officer and fighter, becoming a person like Qi Huan.
However, Wu Zhe’s military rank is a bit high, so it may not be easy to arrange a specific position for him.
If he were arranged according to his military rank, lieutenant colonel would be on par with Yuan Lang, so if he were not to be made a squadron leader, he would at least be a deputy squadron leader.
But jumping from the lowest-level soldier to the deputy squadron leader is not in line with the A Battalion's rule of treating everyone equally.
If Wu Zhe were to start from the lowest position of squad leader, it would seem too unusual for a lieutenant colonel to take on the position of lieutenant.
Perhaps for this reason, the theater commendation only mentioned a promotion by one level without any specific job title.
How to arrange it?
The troops below will be responsible for it.
As for Xu Sanduo, Chengcai and Wu Liuyi, the fact that their files were still in Team A was no longer a big deal at this point.
Chen Jun just mentioned it casually to the senior leader who was having dinner with him at the dinner table.
The development of the Seventh Steel Battalion has entered a critical stage. Chengcai, Wu Liuyi and three others were all released from the Seventh Steel Battalion, and now the Seventh Steel Battalion needs them to come back.
The chief agreed on the spot without any hesitation to help Chen Jun deal with it.
The future direction and development of the combined battalion, and what is the most appropriate path to take, are not only being explored by the 7th Steel Battalion, but even the war zone is very concerned.
Everything concerning the 7th Steel Battalion was given the green light by the theater command.
This is already the default unspoken rule!
……
The commendation meeting of the war zone ended grandly, and the next step is the journey home for the winning team.
The 702nd Regiment had already received the good news of winning the championship. They knew that the team from the 7th Steel Battalion had defeated eleven other countries in the international competition and won the championship with absolute strength, creating a zero breakthrough for the country and the army.
The military is a place that places the most emphasis on belonging, and what matters is that everyone prospers together and suffers together.
The troops that went out from our country were so awesome that they actually won the world championship. Everyone from the regiment commander to the soldiers were extremely excited.
It can be said that the whole group celebrates!
Therefore, when Chen Jun brought the remaining six members of the team, Wu Zhe and Qi Huan back to the old unit, Battalion A, and arrived at the gate of the 702nd Regiment base.
The 702nd Regiment, which had received the route information in advance, had already started a grand welcoming ceremony at the gate.
Led by the regiment commander Wang Qingrui and the political commissar Zhou Yunhai, the entire battalion headquarters of the 7th Steel Battalion was mobilized, and almost all the cadres of the regiment headquarters came out in full force, forming a welcoming team of more than one hundred people.
Officers and soldiers were organized to line up on both sides of the gate to welcome them. The soldiers held red flags and various slogans, forming a long dragon lining the aisle to welcome them.
Under the loud military music rhythm of the regiment's military band, applause and cheers continued one after another for a long time.
Welcome the triumphant return of the first-class heroes!
"Good, good, good, well done."
Captain Wang patted the chests of Chen Jun and others one by one, and said a few short words full of enthusiasm, which already represented his excited mood at the moment.
It was because I was too emotional that I couldn't say long and exaggerated words.
Short and concise is better.
It is at this moment that the highest praise is expressed.
Accompanied by Chen Jun and other first-class heroes, and accompanied by the regiment commander, political commissar and others, they walked through the gate and officially completed their journey back to the base.
What followed was the most grand and spectacular dinner of the 702nd Regiment in the past decade.
In order to let all the soldiers in the regiment share the honor and joy brought back by the first-class heroes, the regiment commander specially arranged a dinner for a thousand people in the regiment.
All the companies of the regiment that received the notice in advance have already assembled at the regiment's training ground.
When the regiment commander and his entourage brought Chen Jun and others over, there were already thousands of soldiers gathered on the training ground. It was a spectacular sight at first glance.
They can organize banquets for thousands of people at any time, and only the military can achieve such execution capabilities.
Each company does not need to bring tables and chairs. Each class only needs to bring a camouflage oilcloth and a few yellow washbasins for washing faces and feet.
The oilcloth was spread on the ground, food was placed on it in yellow basins, and the soldiers sat on the ground beside it.
The dining table is done!
The kitchen team was pulled over according to field standards. The mechanized troops were equipped with kitchen vehicles. Once they arrived at the location, they could start operations and provide food within an hour.
The regiment headquarters needs to be responsible for two things:
Give orders and prepare liquid bombs!
In addition to the personnel on missions and duties, a total of more than 1,300 people gathered together, and nearly 200 tables were neatly set up on the venue.
Compared with the grand scene of this dinner with thousands of people, the dinner in the war zone was simply a family dinner.
Bater and Wu Liuyi have been in the army for almost ten years. This is the first time they have seen such a large-scale dinner party and they were deeply shocked by the scene.
Not to mention Chengcai and Xu Sanduo.
The two of them were like little rookies, completely stunned and unable to speak.
"Fuck!!"
These two seemingly vulgar words best represent their emotions at the moment. Chen Jun is definitely a veteran in the army. He has seen all kinds of scenes, but when he saw a thousand people having a meal together, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
"Such a grand event, the leader is really thoughtful, this is a real big family."
Chen Jun and others were shocked by such a grand scene, and the soldiers who participated in this banquet for thousands of people were also very excited at this moment.
Not only is such a large event rare, but being able to participate is already a great blessing in life.
What's even more exciting is that as a member of the 702nd Regiment, they feel proud and honored to be in the same regiment with world champions and first-class heroes.
With this honor on my shoulders, it wouldn't be a problem even if I were to brag to death.
As Chen Jun and his group entered the venue, they were invited to the podium, where the group leader gave an opening speech. Chen Jun then spoke on stage as the representative of the champion.
The atmosphere on the field quickly reached a climax, and the applause lasted for a long time like a tsunami.
As the protagonists of the whole game, the members of the championship team felt the burning gazes of their comrades and their heartfelt admiration and respect.
I couldn't help but feel proud in my heart.
I am proud to bring honor to the 702nd Regiment and to contribute to this big family.
"Today is a great day for the whole regiment to celebrate, and it is also a day to be proud of... I believe that from now on, our 702nd Regiment will definitely get better and better and become one of the best regiments in the entire army...
I won't say more, I'll just say one last thing, there's plenty of wine tonight, just drink as much as you can, now, cheers to our world champions."
As the regiment commander raised the enamel cup high, more than a thousand soldiers in the audience raised theirs in unison.
"Fuck~~"
A deafening shout resounded through the sky, and more than a thousand people raised their glasses and drank together.
Such passion, such a scene.
Enough to be remembered for a lifetime!
……
The lively and grand banquet for thousands of people ended with everyone's intense emotions difficult to calm down, and the 702nd Regiment soon returned to calm.
Whatever you do, do it quickly and efficiently, and even the biggest celebration will soon be over.
This is also one of the characteristics of the army!
However, the 702nd Regiment only calmed down on the surface. In fact, the nutrition brought by winning the championship was constantly nourishing the development of the entire regiment.
As a group with many first-class heroes, various resources have been significantly improved compared to before.
Whether it is the military expenditure available to the entire regiment, the quota quantity of various training materials, or the number of places for transfer of non-commissioned officers, etc., there have been changes compared to before.
This is an improvement for the entire group.
It is also a vivid example of how individual ability affects the team.
The 702nd Regiment received higher treatment as the direct superior unit of the winning team and the 7th Steel Battalion, which is also the core project of the group army.
Also benefiting from this wave of championships, a large amount of war supplies and military funds were added.
The soldiers of the 7th Steel Battalion now have almost everything they need, including bullets and artillery shells. They have delicious fish and meat for every meal, and the military budget is so high that every soldier can drink a bottle of nutritious milk every day.
Such a rich configuration of battalion-level units made the other three battalions of the 702nd Regiment jealous and completely unable to bear it.
I can’t wait to form a team and rush to the Seventh Steel Battalion to fight the tyrants!
Thanks to such high food standards, the physical fitness and strength of the soldiers of the 7th Steel Battalion began to improve at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In this era of 1998, there is a general lack of meat, milk and eggs in the country, which is why physical fitness is poor.
Now with sufficient meat, eggs and milk, the soldiers of the 7th Steel Battalion can train without restraint and their physical fitness is fully capable of withstanding it.
With improved physical fitness, training intensity can be increased and training results will immediately improve significantly.
During the period when the overall training results of the 7th Steel Battalion soared, Chen Jun and his team of champions also began to carry out their individual work step by step.
Chengcai, Xu Sanduo, Wu Liuyi and Bater, after returning to their old company and staying there for half a month, all received admission notices to the military academy.
The four of them officially began their journey to promotion.
As long as they study diligently and return with successful academic results, they will definitely have a place in the future 7th Steel Battalion, not to mention the current stable 7th Steel Regiment.
The remaining Chen Jun and Tuo Yonggang were also busy, they also had tasks assigned by their superiors to complete.
As the first team to win the World Championship, it itself has great value and is equivalent to a large treasure house.
In this era of rapid development of modern special warfare, the domestic military needs this kind of experience the most.
Therefore, the superiors quickly issued a document requiring an experience sharing session to be held across the entire army, with Chen Jun and Tuo Yonggang in charge.
Chen Jun was the main speaker of the sharing session, and Tuo Yonggang assisted him as his deputy.
The winning team will share the experiences and skills learned during the competition, as well as the difficulties encountered and solutions, with the special operations forces of the entire army to promote the improvement of the overall level of special operations.
The workload of this job is not arduous, but it is very difficult to complete well.
The objects of experience sharing are not ordinary soldiers, but the top special operations forces in major military regions. Their starting point is already very high, and if the experience shared is not hardcore enough, it will be laughed at.
In order to complete this challenging task, he could also take this opportunity to become famous throughout the army.
Chen Jun and Tuo Yonggang worked hard for a whole week to write the copy, and finally they brought together all the essence.
With this written essence, I went to the shore and started this tour of the special operations forces of the entire army.
Regarding the training and work related to the 7th Steel Battalion, Chen Jun only provided the training outline for the second phase, and all the specific work was handled by Gao Cheng.
After spending so many years with Chen Jun, Gao Cheng has a deep understanding of contract operations.
Unless it goes beyond basic training, exercises and confrontations with many uncontrollable factors still require the leadership of Chen Jun, a key figure.
Leading the team in training is no longer difficult for him.
……
Chen Jun's work is fully loaded, and the 7th Steel Battalion has also entered a stage of rapid development, with its combat effectiveness increasing at a visible rate every day.
After Qi Huan and Wu Zhe returned to Team A, they were also given a grand welcome.
Captain Tielu personally led the team to greet them and also organized a celebration dinner at the brigade level to commend and congratulate the two on their victory.
During the meeting, Captain Tie was very enthusiastic and even announced two new orders on the spot.
Qi Huan was originally the squad leader of the third squadron, and now he was directly promoted to deputy squad leader of the third squadron. In a full sense, he became Yuan Lang's "right-hand man".
Wu Zhe's arrangement was indeed rather awkward, but it was not a problem for the experienced Tie Lu.
Wu Zhe was transferred to the brigade headquarters as a staff officer, and at the same time, Wu Zhe was asked to take on a part-time job in the vacant position left by Qi Huan's promotion to deputy squadron leader.
This way.
His main job is a staff officer in the brigade's general staff department, and he also serves as a squad leader under the third squadron part-time, which perfectly solves Wu Zhe's problems.
He is both able to participate in combat and worthy of his military rank.
