War Military: From 1978

Chapter 93: Promotion? Military Academy!

"Chu An!"

Inside the tent, after Chu An and his companions had enjoyed their joy, they were all busy writing letters home.

But at this moment, the team leader suddenly appeared at the door of the tent.

Immediately, several people in the tent hurriedly put down their pens and stood up.

"Captain!"

Chu An saluted and greeted him.

"Haha, you guys write your stuff, I'll talk to your squad leader!"

The team leader spoke to Liu Xi and the other three with a gentle smile. After he finished speaking, he waited for Chu An to walk out of the tent, then he took Chu An away with a smile.

For a moment, Liu Xi and the other three in the tent stared at each other.

But after a moment, Liu Xi spoke: "Keep writing!"

The squad leader is now a second-class meritorious person, so it doesn’t seem difficult to understand why the regiment commander came to see him personally.

However, even though he had said it, no one had the heart to continue writing letters home.

Wang Xiaohu immediately whispered, "Didn't the regiment commander ask the squad leader to talk about a promotion? What do you think? Will the squad leader get a promotion today?"

"It can't be that fast, can it?"

"It's hard to say, after all, our squad leader was awarded a second-class merit during the war!"

"Oh my! It's true that comparison kills! At the beginning of the year, my squad leader and I got on the train together from our hometown, and then we left the recruit company together. But now look, my squad leader is about to be promoted!"

At this moment, Wang Xiaohu said this with a sigh, but in a flash, he felt that the atmosphere in the tent seemed a little wrong.

Because the remaining three people were all looking at him, and their eyes were a little different.
"Deputy squad leader, should we beat him up?" Luo Yun asked.

"Ah!" Wang Xiaohu exclaimed.

But the next second, Liu Xi also spoke directly with a deadpan expression: "Cover your mouth and beat them up, the captain and the others haven't gone far yet!"

"Ah, class vice-chairman, I'm sobbing~"

On the spot, Wang Xiaohu paid the price for his straightforwardness.

He really just kept talking, no matter how hurtful his words were.

Yes!

Chu Anke joined the army at the beginning of this year, and his service time is just over half a year, but he has become the squad leader of those veterans who have been in the army for two or three years, and even Liu Xi, who has been in the army for four years.

The key point is that this is nothing, everyone is convinced of Chu An's ability.

But what's the tone of yours, Wang Xiaohu?
It sounds like if you haven't achieved anything in half a year, you're a waste. What about them?

Chu An could not see the fun in the tent at the moment.

Walking side by side with the regiment commander towards the empty training track in front, the regiment commander smiled and turned his head to ask, "Are you happy about your achievement?"

"Yeah!" Chu An nodded with a smile.

The regiment commander also laughed: "In fact, the regiment only reported you a third-class merit award before!"

"Huh?" Chu An was taken aback, but then the regiment commander spoke again: "After the telescope was delivered, the military district chief personally approved it, saying that it was very important. After the military district chief learned in detail how you got it, he personally awarded you a second-class merit!"

"what!"

Chu An was really dumbfounded this time, and even stopped in his tracks.

When the master was being awarded the honors, the commander said it was decided by his superiors, and he thought it was just a verbal statement from the commander.

He thought this must have been given by his teacher.

Who would have thought that this achievement was actually approved by the head of the military region.

The team leader was walking slowly, and now he turned around and saw Chu An standing still.

The head of the group simply stopped walking and turned back to face Chu An: "This is the recognition of you by the superiors, but you must remember what the Zhengwei said before, the reason for your meritorious service cannot be publicized at present!"

"Yeah! I understand!"

Chu An nodded solemnly.

He knew why this happened, it was to avoid provoking the Vietnamese devils on the opposite side.

At that time, Chu An did not admit that he had stolen their telescope. Even afterwards, Chu An guessed that the Vietnamese devils would definitely keep it a secret from their superiors and would not actually report the loss of the telescope. At most, it would be over at the regimental level.

After all, if this kind of thing is reported, their team leader might be punished.

"Well, I'm glad you understand!" The team leader nodded, turned around and started walking again.

Chu An immediately caught up.

"You missed the college entrance exam by four points last year, right?" The team leader suddenly asked this somewhat irrelevant question again.

But Chu An also nodded immediately: "Yes! Yes!"

Although this was not Chu An's exam, he is Chu An now.

The regiment commander turned his head and looked at me with a gentle smile as if chatting with me at home: "Do you want to go to military school?"

"Hmm?" Chu An paused again, but then he replied, "I want to!" Although he had attended university in his previous life, he had never been to a military academy.

What's more, he really wanted to see what the military academy was like in the 1970s.

Of course, he couldn't say he didn't want to now.

Because when he joined the army, he had already told the recruiting officer about this matter.

"Then you should work hard next time. If you can't make it this year, the military academy will start next year. I'll recommend you to take the exam next year!"

"it is good!"

Chu An agreed.

Then, the regimental commander smiled again and said, "Actually, next year, after you complete your one-year term as squad leader, you can be promoted directly. However, you are an intellectual, so read more. Having a military academy background will be better for your future!"

"Okay!" Chu An responded again.

He didn't know what else to say except nodding.

The regimental commander smiled and turned back to continue walking forward. After only a dozen steps, he turned back and said, "Actually, you should have received a third-class merit! But now that the third-class merit is gone, I'm not going to give it to you. Is that okay with you?"

"what?

"Haha, I don't have that!" Chu An said hurriedly with a smile.

He suddenly realized what the third-class merit the regiment commander was talking about.

When the Mountain Eagle Growth Team started training, the team leader promised that the first place in the final assessment would be awarded a third-class merit on the spot.

When Chu An was in the growth team, his performance in daily assessments was always far ahead.

But now.
Because of the previous incident, the Mountain Eagle Growth Team was disbanded early, and there was no graduation assessment to speak of afterwards.

They graduated just the next day when the captain and instructor came to the position to express their condolences.

"Haha, that's good!" The regimental commander nodded with a smile, then he spoke again: "Do you remember the instructor of your recruit company?"

"Yes, Instructor Cui!" Chu An didn't know why the commander brought up this again, but he could only respond.

The regimental commander turned and walked slowly again: "Now he is in charge of the regiment's reconnaissance platoon!"

Chu An didn't react much.

Because he already knew this.

At the first battalion’s position, in addition to training every day, they would also chat and gossip with the soldiers of the first battalion at other times, and knew a lot about some things in the regiment.

For example, he had heard about the formation of the reconnaissance platoon, and even that Deputy Instructor Cui seemed to be the son of a certain leader.

"I'm planning to transfer you, Mountain Eagle Squad 1, to the reconnaissance platoon. You'll serve as instructors and become soldiers there!"

"what?"

Chu An stopped again.

He found that he had encountered many accidents during the short distance he had followed the leader.

They were artillery reconnaissance officers, so why were they assigned to the reconnaissance platoon and served as both instructors and soldiers?

The regimental commander did not leave. He turned back to look at Chu An and said, "If a war breaks out, scouts will definitely need to go deep into the front lines for reconnaissance. So sometimes I wonder how great it would be if they could also guide artillery fire.

Of course, I know that their educational backgrounds vary, and some of them haven't even completed elementary school.

But what I want now is just to let them do some simple visual estimation, or use binoculars, compasses and other equipment that scouts also carry with the map for rough guidance.

This shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Chu An frowned, the captain's words sounded like there was nothing wrong with it.

But it may be easy to recognize pictures by looking at them, and the compass is also easy to use.

But it would be difficult to estimate the distance visually if you don’t have enough academic qualifications.

The thumb observation method also requires the use of trigonometric functions!

Chu An hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth: "Captain, you can't fire artillery randomly. If you get the coordinates wrong, it might hit you on the head!"

"I know!"

The regiment commander nodded. "But what I'm thinking is, we should try to teach them. Normally, they won't be needed to direct artillery fire. Even in combat, scouts have their own missions. But in an emergency, if they know a little bit, they might be able to achieve unexpected results!"

"I can only try. I can't guarantee that I can teach them all!"

"Haha! That's enough!" The team leader laughed.

This was his idea in itself.

Of course, there was another very important reason for sending Chu An and the others to the reconnaissance platoon, which was that he really wanted Chu An and the others to practice more.

The situation is becoming increasingly dangerous.

Both sides have deployed their troops at the border, and a war is about to break out.

At this time, if the individual qualities of artillery reconnaissance personnel such as Chu An can be further improved, it will obviously be a good thing for Regiment C.

After all, the captain and instructor who trained Chu An and the others before, in terms of ability, level and even training methods, must be a little different from a real veteran scout!
