Chapter 42 The head of the division comes to the Seventh Steel Company
after an hour!
The first collaborative training of infantry and tanks ended. The whole process went very smoothly. Except for a few individuals who were lagging behind, the overall results were basically up to standard.
And there are several new recruits who performed very well in training.
Among them, Jackie Chan is the best representative of the recruits, and his superb heavy machine gun shooting performance has won high praise and expectations from the regiment leader.
As long as we continue to maintain this level, if nothing unexpected happens, the lift will be a sure thing.
Jackie Chan received high praise from the regiment commander, which was equivalent to giving company commander Gao Cheng a face.
Gao Cheng was in a particularly good mood. After finishing the training and bringing everyone back to the company, he took advantage of more than an hour before lunch to drag everyone to the equipment training ground.
For nothing else.
I just want to chat with everyone when I'm in a good mood, liven up the atmosphere in the company, communicate with superiors and subordinates, and inculcate ideas by the way.
The soldiers of the Seventh Company were all sitting on the ground by the playground. They didn't need to cross their legs and put their hands on their knees. They could sit freely and relax as they pleased.
Just chatting.
No need to be too formal.
"Today, except for a few gangsters, everyone's performance is really good. I am very satisfied and very happy. I will take advantage of the time to chat with everyone."
Gao Cheng stood in front of the team, finished his opening remarks, and waved to the side.
"Third squad leader, come and tell the new comrades that our company has achieved several first-class collective merits, not counting other minor honors, since its establishment."
"Report, three times."
Shi Jin answered loudly, with full pride.
"Did you hear that? Three times, three times of collective first-class merit."
Gao Cheng stretched out three fingers, raised them high, and gestured to the team several times.
The smile on the face is not a smile, it is pride from the heart.
Then he talked eloquently: "The sixth company only had a second-class meritorious service once, and it was called the sixth company of a great meritorious service, while our company had a collective first-class merit three times."
What does three first-class collective merit mean?
It means that in three foreign battles, only one-third were killed, and the enemy was wiped out several times or even 20 times.
It means that in three battles, it completed and surpassed the role of this organic company in this battle.
The important thing, the most important thing, is that we have not fallen down even today, and we will continue like this forever, never abandoning or giving up.
Therefore, we are called Steel Seventh Company, Steel Seventh Company with steel-like will and toughness."
Gao Cheng spoke very passionately, his saliva sprayed like a sprinkler in the sun, and his emotion infected every soldier present.
"Steel Seventh Company!!"
"Seventh Company of Steel! Seventh Company of Steel! Seventh Company of Steel!"
As Wu Liuyi took the lead in shouting, everyone followed suit and shouted in unison.
Three consecutive sonorous and powerful sounds of the Seventh Steel Company roared out the passion in the hearts of the soldiers, and also roared their recognition of the Seventh Steel Company.
When soldiers shout slogans together, they usually shout three sentences by default.
However, the others stopped after shouting three sentences, but one person's reflex arc slowed down, and one person suddenly shouted again: "Steel Seventh Company."
Everyone turned their attention to the unexpected spot and found that it was Xu Sanduo who was taking the slow shot again.
Xu Sanduo, who was embarrassed during training, knew that he was holding back the others, and he still feels low self-esteem after completing training.
Now that so many people were staring at me, I felt ashamed and panicked. I lowered my head and didn't dare to see anyone.
My head is almost stuffed into my crotch!
If Gao Cheng had his temper back then, he would definitely take Xu Sanduo out and give him a lesson.
But after being angry with Xu Sanduo for the past few months, Gao Cheng was not sure whether Xu Sanduo had grown or not, but there was one thing he was sure of.
That means my temper has been cured and my impatience has almost been worn away.
In order not to be angered to death by Xu Sanduo, Gao Cheng has become accustomed to comforting himself.
And gradually "evolved" to ignore Xu Sanduo!
This time Gao Cheng chose to ignore it, pretending not to hear Xu Sanduo's random shouting, and continued the topic just now, to popularize the honor of the Seventh Steel Company.
Under the emotional narration of Company Commander Gao Cheng, the glorious history of the Seventh Steel Company was slowly revealed.
The veterans who already knew the 7th Steel Company very well did not feel bored when they heard about the honor of the 7th Steel Company again. Instead, they were sublimated.
I have a deeper sense of mission for the 7th Steel Company!
The recruits who heard it for the first time had a thorough understanding of the Seventh Steel Company through Gao Cheng's in-depth narration, and their sense of identification began to deepen unconsciously.
I have a deeper sense of belonging to the Seventh Steel Company!
…
On the other side, Commander Wang came to visit the Seventh Steel Company, and it was a fruitful experience.
Jackie Chan's near-perfect excellence in all aspects allowed him to see the future development trend of the army, which is a future for high-quality talents.
In 1991, the beautiful country defeated Iraq, the world's top army power, in just 41 days.
With an army of 1.2 million, nearly a thousand fighter planes, more than 10,000 armored vehicles and tanks, rich oil resources, and sufficient food and grass, Iraq is undoubtedly one of the world's top powers.
China and Iraq at that time were very similar in that they both had huge army forces.
The result is that such a first-class power was defeated in just 41 days under the U.S. three-encirclement and integrated information strategy.
This war stunned the whole world, but it only completely woke up China.
Let China clearly understand...
Military reform is urgent!
As a front-line officer who can smell the wind in advance under the background of major reform and disarmament of the army.
Commander Wang is very aware that the world is changing rapidly. Under the trend of high-precision information warfare, the number of troops is no longer the main factor that determines the outcome of a war. High-tech and high-level operations are the future.
He hopes to train Jackie Chan, not just to give the 702nd Regiment an outstanding commander.
The main purpose is to establish Jackie Chan as a role model, attract more high-quality talents to join the army, and enable the 702nd Regiment to keep pace with the times.
Therefore, after Commander Wang returned to the regiment headquarters, he immediately called the division headquarters.
Use inquiries instead of urging, so that Jackie Chan's third-class merit can be implemented quickly.
Perhaps Commander Wang's urging had an effect, or perhaps the division headquarters was already prepared, or perhaps the division headquarters attached great importance to this matter.
On the third day when Commander Wang visited the training of the 7th Steel Company, Director Xie from the Division Political Office came to the 7th Steel Company.
Accompanied by Officer Liu from the regiment headquarters and his party.
Gao Cheng had been thinking about them these past few days. When he heard that it was the division headquarters, he guessed their origins and immediately ran to the door to greet them in person.
After taking Director Xie and Director Liu to the reception room, Gao Cheng took out his treasured tea to entertain them.
After confirming that he was here to present an award to Jackie Chan, Gao Cheng couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately assembled the entire company, and everyone in the company was gathered in three minutes.
