From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 75 The War Begins!!

1996 8 Month 21 Day.

"Today is a good day for a martial arts competition..."

The annual mid-year competition has finally arrived. Hong Xingguo, an instructor who is a political cadre, made some special practice before departure.

The main purpose is to boost morale, stabilize the emotions of the team members, and make everyone feel free of psychological burden.

Gao Cheng, as the team leader of the competition, had to go to the regiment with the competition team. He said a few words on the stage and then announced that they would get on the bus and set off.

Led by Chen Jun, all the contestants boarded the army's characteristic tarpaulin truck.

The soldiers of the 7th Steel Company, who could only see them off from below, had complicated feelings when they saw the contestants happily going to participate in the competition.

On the one hand, it is a sincere blessing, hoping that the members of the competition team can achieve good results and bring honor and glory to the Seventh Steel Company.

It is also an immense honor to be a member of the 7th Steel Company.

On the other hand, I was also extremely envious, and felt a little jealous, thinking that if I were in the car, I would definitely laugh even happier than them.

pity.

There is nothing we can do if we are not strong enough, all we can do is to send our best wishes.

……

The venue for the mid-year competition is not in the regiment. The regiment does not have a large enough venue for it, so several areas are specially designated in the outdoor training ground.

Thanks to the geographical advantages of the plateau, it is difficult to find dense forests and flowing streams in the wild, but it is very easy to find a flat land.

We can provide any size of land you want.

When the 7th Steel Company's convoy arrived at the designated competition venue according to the regiment's notification, logistics personnel immediately came over to register.

Then there are people specifically responsible for the competition who guide them to the assigned Camp No. 7.

There are only two marching tents in the camp of the 7th Steel Company. One of the tents is the dormitory for the contestants, and a folding iron frame camp bed has been installed inside.

There are five camp beds on the left and right, just enough to accommodate ten contestants.

Although there was no furniture or utensils in the tent except the iron bed, ordinary people had no way of living there.

But for soldiers, there is no problem at all.

Because soldiers are self-sufficient when they go out, they have everything from daily necessities to daily necessities.

If the competition venue did not provide meals and water, there would be no need for Chen Jun and his group to bring their own cooks. They could even take care of their own food and drink.

The interior of the other tent is slightly different and is divided into three compartments.

One of the rooms had a camp bed and a desk, and was one level higher than the contestants' rooms. It was obvious at first glance that it was the room of the team leader.

The other two rooms were close to the outer tent door. The compartment on the left only had two camp beds, while the compartment on the right had no beds but an additional gun cabinet and a storage rack.

From the layout, you can tell that these are tents for logistics personnel and supplies.

The team leader lives in a special compartment, the communicator and the quartermaster live in a room together, and the remaining compartments are used to store competition equipment.

The group is not responsible for providing the personal equipment and weapons required for the competition.

You need to bring them by yourself.

One reason is that I have maintained the gun in advance in the company and completed the precise calibration. I am more proficient in using the gun and can perform better.

Secondly, it is to prevent contestants from performing poorly and blaming the problem on the weapons provided by the contestants, thus causing unnecessary conflicts.

This method is a common mode of competition, and players in international competitions usually bring their own equipment.

It is impossible for participants to carry their weapons with them all the time. They need to bring their weapons with them during the competition and store them at other times.

The gun cabinet and storage rack can come in handy. When the convoy arrived at the No. 7 Camp, which was exclusively for the 7th Steel Company, Chen Jun and his party got off the car and immediately started to work.

Company commander Gao Cheng is responsible for finding the person in charge of the competition, completing the sign-in and collecting relevant process documents, etc.

Maybe it's for training, or maybe it's something else.

Gao Cheng specially brought Chen Jun with him.

The quartermaster is the "logistics manager" of this competition. He is responsible for coordinating related logistical work.

Including but not limited to reporting for meals in the canteen, as failure to do so may mean going without food; going to the logistics department to collect daily necessities such as drinking water, milk and other supplies; understanding the various arrangements and precautions during the competition, etc.

More than a dozen companies were squeezed together for the competition, plus various units serving the competition, hundreds of people together was very chaotic.

Can we ensure that the competition team will not encounter any problems and will successfully complete all competition items?

The quartermaster has a heavy responsibility.

Therefore, the quartermasters of most companies are either experienced non-commissioned officers of the third term or above, or officers with sharp minds.

As the "super secretary" of the army, the communicator has a lot of work to do.

I need to help the company commander, the quartermaster and myself to make the beds and daily necessities, and also help manage the guns and equipment in the storage room.

As for the contestants participating in the competition, they are actually the most relaxed at this moment.

You just need to pack your personal belongings in the dormitory, then rest quietly in the dormitory without running around, and wait for the company commander, team leader and quartermaster to come back.

Through meetings, we tell everyone about various matters and rules and regulations regarding the competition and life.

After all, the contestants are the protagonists of the mid-year competition. They need to get enough rest before the competition begins, recharge their batteries and wait to explode on the field.

If it is a mid-year competition between border defense companies, the distance between the companies is quite far, and dozens of kilometers is normal.

It usually takes a few days to register for a competition.

The 702nd Regiment of the field army was all nearby, and it only took a few minutes for the nearby companies to run over, so it was a very easy matter to gather together.

So the registration time for the competition is only one day.

Failure to report to the competition headquarters on the day will be treated as a waiver, and the entire company will receive a zero score in the competition. The company will also be subject to disciplinary action by the regiment headquarters later.

No company would make such a mistake, so all fifteen companies arrived before dark.

After everyone had lunch in the cafeteria at 6 p.m., the competition command organized the leading officers of the fifteen companies to hold a public meeting before the competition.

It took nearly two hours in total to take into account various precautions and guidance from superiors.

Say something.

Meetings in the army are time-consuming and not as straightforward as our work style.

After the meeting, the leading officers returned to the camp and then organized a meeting for all the contestants to pass on what the command center said.

Let the contestants understand the rules of the competition, the scoring mechanism, what points they need to pay attention to, what they should pay attention to when they arrive at the competition venue, etc.

After the internal meeting was over, more than an hour had passed.

There is less than an hour left before turning off the lights and going to bed.

"Don't be stressed, just keep calm. Even if you don't perform exceptionally well, just perform at your normal training level. We are the strongest, and there are very few other 14 companies. It's not difficult. Don't think too much tonight. Just lie down on your bed and get a good rest."

Chen Jun presided over the meeting on behalf of Gao Cheng. Finally, he gave the contestants some instructions, then turned to Gao Cheng and asked, "Captain, do you have anything else to say?"

"No, let's adjourn the meeting."

Gao Cheng is very confident in his soldiers, and he can't wait to show off with a smile on his face.
