Deputy Commander Kong immediately contacted the Border Defense Brigade Headquarters, "Have you sent out rescue?"
The Border Defense Brigade responded quickly, "The foot patrol team of Station 5 and the remaining personnel of Station 6 have been dispatched to conduct search and rescue operations along the highway. The vehicle patrol team of Station 5 is currently unable to dispatch, as the snow has buried most of the road, and vehicles cannot travel normally.
In addition, the encryption stations affiliated to Stations 5 and 6 have also dispatched personnel to search, but the encryption stations have fewer personnel and cannot form effective inspections."
Because the border brigade guards the outer areas, the patrol route will be longer. The accident location of the No. 6 patrol team is in the middle area. The closest encrypted station No. 5-2 to this point is three kilometers away.
, looking at it this way, the eight-shift outpost personnel who are only two kilometers away from the accident site are undoubtedly the support force that can reach the scene the fastest.
But just looking at the distance is not the most correct method. The militiamen walked on the road. Even if it was difficult to walk, they could move forward by touching the protective net of the road. However, the eighth team members walked on the mountain road. If they were not careful, they would be killed.
If the wind blows down the mountain, the damage will be even greater.
Deputy Commander Kong looked at the Chief of Staff, "Do you want to send Team 8 for rescue?"
The chief of staff felt nervous. How should he answer this? If he said rescue, it would be a question of whether the Eighth Squad members could get to the place smoothly. If he said no rescue, it would also damage the feelings of the brother troops.
How come I have a problem here and you are still standing by.
Seeing the chief of staff hesitate, Deputy Commander Kong did not ask him. Instead, he turned on the microphone and directly contacted the members of Team 8, "Is it Lin Yi? I am Deputy Commander Kong."
Lin Yi immediately replied: "I am Lin Yi."
Deputy Commander Kong said: "We have a clear understanding of the area to the east of your department. It is the vehicle patrol team of the No. 6 Militia Station that is in danger. Their radio is damaged. I am afraid that there have been casualties among the personnel.
Now the militia stations have dispatched rescue personnel, but you are the unit closest to the incident. I am now seeking your opinion on whether you can go to the rescue."
When Lin Yi heard that there might be casualties, there was nothing to worry about. He immediately replied: "Our department will set out for rescue immediately."
Deputy Commander Kong heard Lin Yi's decisive tone and exhaled, "You have to think carefully. You are walking on a mountain road, and there is still a snowstorm. Once you are in danger on the marching route, you want to count on the militia's strength."
It's impossible to come to rescue you.
They can't finish their affairs, and we will definitely not be able to rescue you in a short time."
Of course Lin Yi understood this truth, but it was impossible for him to remain indifferent while watching the casualties of his brothers' troops.
And Deputy Commander Kong said that he would be in danger on the march. This was after all an assumption. Since he was not in danger now, he had to go to the rescue. There was no doubt about it.
Lin Yi's answer was simple, "Report to the regiment headquarters. The members of the eighth patrol team are ready for rescue. Can they set off?"
Deputy Commander Kong was shocked and said in a deep voice: "Let's go immediately."
Then he added: "The members of the eighth squad will be credited with a third-class collective merit. If the personnel involved in the rescue of the militia station are successful, I will personally report to the division and will be credited with a second-class collective merit."
The chief of staff immediately replied: "Yes, we will give third-class collective merit to the eight squad members of the outpost."
Naturally, these words reached the ears of Lin Yi and the others. When Xue Peng heard this, he was shocked, "So you have gained another third-class collective merit? If you participate in the successful rescue, you will directly give the collective second-class merit? This is
On the second day after arriving in Class 8, you gave me such a big gift?"
Compared to Xue Peng's shock, the members of Class 8 were already used to it. Lin Yi had only been at the Class 8 post for more than a month, and he had already led everyone to win a second-class collective merit and a third-class collective merit.
Now it was a collective third-class performance guarantee. Apart from being happy, they were even a little numb.
The benefits brought to them by the increase in merit are also quite obvious. The wage subsidy is related to the amount of merit. The more merit, the higher the subsidy and the higher the salary will naturally be.
Although it may only be a few dozen yuan per month, it is still a lot.
Moreover, there are regulations in our army that after retirement, you can get more subsidies for your merit. For example, after receiving third-class personal merit, the retirement payment will be increased by 5%. For example, the retirement payment of an eight-year soldier will total 400,000.
If so, that 5% is a lot of money.
It should not be underestimated.
In addition to money, the most direct relationship with everyone is the military rank. With these collective contributions, as long as the upper class soldier does not take the initiative to retire, it is basically no problem to be promoted to corporal.
Although collective credit is not as valuable as individual credit, it cannot stand up to large numbers. Even if the number is large, it is still the same.
As for the promotion of sergeant to staff sergeant, there is also a threshold. After you have these merits, there is basically no problem in getting promoted.
Some people may wonder, is there a threshold for a sergeant to be promoted to a staff sergeant? Shouldn't it be the threshold for a sergeant to be promoted to a fourth-level sergeant major?
Lin Yi can answer you with certainty, they are all barriers.
Under normal circumstances, as long as you become a corporal, there are basically no retired soldiers after five years of service. Although there are, there are not many. Most of them are retired after eight years of service, that is, most sergeants are discharged.
If you go to the local armed forces department, you will find that the most numerous people registering for discharge are the conscripts. Of course, this goes without saying.
The second largest number is the retired sergeant who served in the Army for eight years.
The third most numerous are five-year soldiers.
Ranked fourth is a 12-year sergeant.
As for retired soldiers like the fourth-class sergeants, there are even fewer, not even as many as officers.
Judging from this data, we know that there is a threshold for a sergeant to be promoted to a staff sergeant. Otherwise, it would be impossible for more sergeants to retire than corporals.
And the Eighth Squadron Post is mostly composed of non-commissioned officers. With so much merit, they don’t have to retire as sergeants and go home. As long as they are willing to continue working, they can basically be promoted to sergeants and serve four more years.
The salary of a non-commissioned officer at the outpost is high. The monthly salary of a sergeant can easily exceed 10,000 yuan. If he serves for four more years, he will be much better off financially.
With the encouragement of merit, everyone was more motivated. Lin Yi looked at everyone, "The fact that the regiment headquarters can directly give us third-class merit means that our march is very dangerous. We will use ropes to each other later."
Fixed, so that if a dangerous situation occurs, we can immediately rescue each other and avoid too much danger."
When Xue Peng heard that they were going to be connected with ropes, he quickly said: "Platoon Leader Lin, can I not go to the back? I know that I am not as familiar with the terrain as you, but I also know that the front of the platoon needs more strength. In this way, I will go to the second place."
Name, let an old non-commissioned officer be at the end of the line, this will also reduce your pressure."
