From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 55: Eye-opening for the New Soldiers
"What's going on?"

Chengcai was confused and dumbfounded for a moment.

Even scared.

After all, he is just a high school graduate and his mentality is still far from mature.

Even though he broke the record by scoring fifty rings and got excellent grades in all subjects, he still doubted himself at that moment and wondered if he would be demoted, which was why he was not assigned to a different car.

After a brief period of panic and confusion, feelings of indignation and dissatisfaction surged.

"If three idiots can get on the bus, why can't I?"

With this feeling of indignation, Chengcai's face turned ugly.

but.

It lasted less than a minute.

After taking the roll call, Gao Cheng did not get on the car, but gave instructions to Chen Jun: "Platoon leader Chen, you are responsible for bringing the people back. When you get to the company, divide them into classes according to the list. I still have to go to the regiment headquarters."

"Yes!"

Chen Jun came to the front of the team, raised his right hand, clenched his fist and held it flat in front of his chest, and shouted, "Everyone is here, quickly move closer with me as the benchmark."

"Ah??? Paige Chen brought us back? And we divided us into classes?"

As Chengcai moved closer with his luggage, all kinds of thoughts flooded into his mind.

Chengcai is very smart and has a quick mind.

The information in Gao Cheng's short sentence revealed several key points, which made him smell something different, and his brain started to work frantically.

"Patriot Chen is from the Seventh Company. He took me back to the company and then divided me into classes according to the names on the list. Doesn't that mean... I was assigned to the Seventh Company?"

After some simple deduction, Chengcai finally understood.

He finally realized that the arrangement of the three types of cars was different from what he had imagined.

Or even the complete opposite.

The originally confused and uneasy mood suddenly reversed at this moment.

It's like parting the dark clouds and seeing the bright sun.

Chengcai was so excited that his heart was beating faster!
When the three squad leaders Shi Jin, Jin Dashan and Wu Liuyi also joined their team of six new recruits and formed a queue waiting to be taken back.

Chengcai's guess was finally confirmed, and his heart was finally at ease.

The uncontrollable smile hung on the corners of his mouth.

At the same time, change your mind.

The one who went there on foot was the best company, so wouldn't Xu Sanduo, who left on the luxury bus, be assigned to the worst company?

Chengcai couldn't help but worry about Xu Sanduo.

This idiot Xu Sanduo hasn't realized that he was not assigned to a good company.

Seeing Chengcai, Shi Jin and three other squad leaders, lined up in a neat row under Chen Jun's command and walking towards the camp gate, they didn't expect that something was wrong.

He smiled foolishly with two rows of white teeth showing, and excitedly waved his hands wildly at Chengcai through the car window.

The two sides were too far apart, Chengcai had no way of saying anything to Xu Sanduo. Seeing Xu Sanduo smiling happily, he couldn't bear to say anything.

He could only force a smile and waved goodbye to Xu Sanduo.

I was expecting in my heart, "Idiot, you better try your best."

……

The base where the 702nd Regiment is located is not exclusive to it, but the core base of the T Division. As a mechanized heavy infantry division, it has a rich variety of subordinate troops, and even the shadow of a synthetic division can be seen.

The tank regiment is standard, and there is also an artillery regiment, as well as a helicopter battalion, an armored reconnaissance battalion directly under the division, and so on.

Compared with a fully-organized combined division, it only lacks the most important integrated combat system, which is equivalent to the information force that serves as the eyes, the missile force for long-range precision strikes, and several other key combined combat points.

It can be seen that at this point in 1996, our military's modernization reform was already moving towards integration.

The fully mechanized heavy infantry division is structurally closest to a combined force, and it is relatively easier to reorganize it into a combined division.

The entire division is concentrated in a large integrated base, which even has the flavor of a synthetic division.

The 702nd Regiment, as the armored infantry regiment of the T Division, is like a son like his father. Its overall structure is a "smaller and abridged version" of the T Division.

The T Division had a tank regiment, and the 702nd Regiment had a tank company;
The T Division had an artillery regiment, and the 702nd Regiment had an artillery battery;
The T Division has its own armored reconnaissance battalion, and the 702nd Regiment has the th Armored Reconnaissance Steel Company.

……

The 702nd Regiment has a scaled-down version of the combat unit structure that the T Division possesses. It can be said that the 702nd Regiment has everything that the T Division has except helicopters.

The difference is that the overall organization has been downgraded by one level.

The entire T Division is stationed in this base, so the base covers a large area, more than ten kilometers from the leftmost side to the rightmost side.

Only a small number of squads and platoons with special missions must be stationed outside due to mission requirements.

Class 5 of the Grassland is a typical example!

The new recruits were driven out of the recruit barracks and sent to their respective companies. They were required to walk around the base, which gave the new recruits their first more intuitive feeling for this super-large comprehensive base.

Seeing such a huge military base, the recruits were deeply shocked.

Whether they see tanks weighing dozens of tons, neatly arranged military vehicles, or various artillery pieces, they will be shocked and exclaim.

Especially when a helicopter flew low overhead, the atmosphere reached its climax.

The new recruits who saw the helicopter for the first time flocked to the doors or windows and looked up at the sky, their eyes full of shining longing.

Flying has always been the most desired ability of mankind, and helicopters satisfy the desire of the recruits.

Xu Sanduo, who was sitting by the window and staring at the helicopter, really wanted to fly himself, but he knew he was a donkey and did not have such an illusion.

He never thought that a stupid donkey like him would one day be able to ride on a helicopter.

……

Chen Jun personally led the team back to the 7th Steel Company. The recruits felt more intuitive walking than riding in a car, and what they saw and heard along the way shocked them even more.

When the team arrived at an intersection, the Type 702 armored personnel carrier, which had just been equipped to the 89nd Regiment, appeared in front of Chengcai and other recruits.

The recruits were so frightened that they stopped and were too overwhelmed by the momentum to dare move forward.

The height reaches 2.4 meters, the length reaches 6.6 meters, the width is 3.15 meters, the total weight is more than 14 tons, and it is equipped with a huge gun barrel extending from the top turret.

No matter how you look at it, it is a huge monster with an extremely strong visual impact.

Chen Jun saw that in the eyes of Chengcai and other new recruits, in addition to their own fear of aggregates, they were more envious of the old soldiers on the bus.

He then took the opportunity to promote the vehicle: "You like it, right? This is the latest Type 89 armored personnel carrier, which can carry up to soldiers at a time. Do you want to take a ride on it?

Don't be anxious, don't be envious, our company also has such armored vehicles.

When you get out of the company, there will be plenty of opportunities to sit. The machine gunners up there are handsome, right? If you want to be one, you have to work hard, because it’s not easy to be a machine gunner.”

When the new recruits heard that they would be able to ride in such an awesome armored vehicle after joining the company, they immediately became extremely excited and their eyes sparkled.
