In the Marine Brigade Tank Battalion, after the official meeting, the fleet leader and Minister Cheng, accompanied by Brigadier Xiao and others, inspected the tank battalion's grassroots soldiers and equipment training, and then came to the edge of the beach. The leader looked at the Jiangbei people and spoke. Asked: "Have you heard that our merchant ships have been frequently attacked by pirates in recent years?"

Several people in Jiangbei nodded quickly: "I know, I heard that it happened quite often and caused a lot of losses to our country."

Seeing that everyone knew it, the leader continued: "Yes, it caused a lot of losses, which seriously affected our country's overseas interests." At this point, the leader's face became serious: "So in order to safeguard our country's overseas interests and protect the people In order to ensure the safety of life and property, the headquarters has made a decision to accept the invitation of the United Nations to join the anti-piracy escort operation. This is also a great opportunity for our navy to move into the deep blue."

Brigadier Xiao and others did not react for a while, and asked a little confused: "Leader, what do you mean?"

But Jiangbei immediately woke up from the leader's words. He said happily: "Leader, do you mean that our brigade can participate in the escort formation?"

No wonder Jiang Bei was happy. After he came to the Marine Corps, in addition to assisting Brigadier Xiao in exploring digital synthesis, he spent the rest of his time dealing with seawater and equipment. He had not experienced many rescue operations that other protagonists would experience in the past few years. , all because the unit he was in was a unit with a high level of combat readiness and could not be easily mobilized, so he could only stay in the unit and learn about the disaster through reports in newspapers and TV.

The actual combat in Fire Blue Blade that he was looking forward to had not happened yet due to time constraints. Now when he heard the leader talking about the escort operation, he immediately reacted.

Yes, what else can improve the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps? Of course it is anti-piracy in escort operations!

Although the military's crackdown on pirates is no different than using cannons to swat mosquitoes, it is finally done with real swords and guns. It is better than letting the soldiers soak in the sea and drink sea water every day. Moreover, this actual combat operation against pirates can only be carried out by the navy. The Marine Corps is here to do it. We can't let sailors on warships who haven't hit a few bullets in a year do it.

Thinking of this, he became more and more excited. Their brigade must strive to participate in the escort operation. Although there are many opportunities later, they can't compare with the first batch.

When the leader saw Jiangbei like this, he laughed loudly and said to Minister Cheng: "Comrade Jiangbei really reacted quickly enough and thought of the key points at once."

Minister Cheng was also a little bit dumbfounded, but he said with some relief: "As expected, he is a comrade from Lao A. He will not let go of the opportunity for actual combat at all."

Brigadier Xiao took a few seconds to react, and said happily but also worriedly: "Really, leader, if our brigade can participate in the escort operation, that would be the best, but we have to start digital synthesis now. Cultural reform, I’m afraid the headquarters won’t choose our brigade in the short term, right?”

When Brigadier Xiao said this, Political Commissar Lin and Deputy Brigadier Zeng next to him also frowned. From their perspective, escort operations and combating pirates naturally knew how much it would improve the combat effectiveness of their Marines, but it happened to be because of the role. It is big and risky. Even if they were in the leadership position, they would not be able to let a team that is undergoing reform, personnel changes, and morale may be low to perform escort operations with no experience.

Rather than doing this, it is better to let the troops with little change carry out the execution. After all, stability is the most important thing in such an important matter.

Seeing the sad faces of the three people, the leader was happy and said: "Why are you in such a hurry? Did I say we would set off in a short time? First of all, this kind of high-sea escort mission that has never been done before cannot be prepared in a short time. , the headquarters has not yet decided which fleet to escort. When it is ready, it is estimated that half a year has passed. After all, it has to coordinate with so many countries. After all, this is a joint operation."

"Besides, who goes out has to be decided based on final performance! Why, can't you improve your combat effectiveness in half a year?" the leader said unhappily.

"It turns out there is still time."

Brigadier Xiao and the others immediately glanced at each other and saluted the leader happily: "Report to the leader, then we are confident!"

"Well, then I'm waiting for your good news. Whether our fleet can seize this escort mission from the headquarters depends on your Marine Brigade in the end!" The leader nodded with satisfaction and told several people about this. The purpose of this matter is to make the cadres of the Marine Brigade understand that their reforms must cut through the mess quickly and achieve rapid results.

Thinking of this, the leader looked at Jiangbei: "Comrade Jiangbei, among the cadres of the Marine Brigade, you are the only regiment-level cadre with special operations experience, and anti-piracy operations are mostly small-scale tactical operations to rescue hostages. You You must come up with your best training plan and train a combat team for the Marine Brigade that can be put into actual combat."

Jiang Bei immediately said seriously: "Report to the leader, I will resolutely execute the order. This is my mission!"

"Okay, that puts me at ease!" the leader said, patting Jiang Bei on the shoulder.

At the gate of the camp, looking at the convoy of off-road vehicles carrying the leaders away, Brigadier Xiao said to Jiangbei: "Chief of Staff, let's go, let's go meet your old comrade Comrade Wu Zhe!"

"Yes, brigade commander!" Jiang Bei nodded. Just now, the brigade commander already knew that Wu Zhe was coming. As the commander of the air assault battalion that was about to be established, the leaders of the Marine Brigade paid great attention to Wu Zhe.

Return to the Brigade Headquarters Building.Wu Zhe had been waiting for a long time. With Jiang Bei's introduction, Wu Zhe got to know the two leaders.

Brigadier Xiao and Political Commissar Lin looked at Wu Zhe's very young face, shook hands with him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Political Commissar, it seems that we are getting old too. Nowadays, more and more capable young people are... That’s a lot.”

Political Commissar Lin smiled and said: "This is a good thing. It shows that our army has successors. If it weren't for young but capable people like the Chief of Staff and Wu Zhe entering the army, we alone would not be able to promote the informatization of the army. Reform." Then the political commissar looked at Wu Zhe and said with a smile: "Comrade Wu Zhe, the brigade commander and I welcome you on behalf of the comrades of the Marine Brigade. We hope that you can make full use of your talents in our brigade and improve the combat effectiveness of our troops. "

Wu Zhe quickly expressed his position seriously: "Please rest assured, brigade commander and political commissar, I will go all out and will never let down everyone's expectations."

Brigadier Xiao nodded, motioned for Wu Zhe to sit on the sofa, and then asked: "Comrade Wu Zhe, you know that we transferred you to build the air assault camp. I wonder what you think of this battalion?" Wu Zhewen Yan glanced at Jiangbei and saw Jiangbei nodded slightly, so he spoke confidently and boldly: "Brigadier Political Commissar, in fact, in my opinion, the air assault battalion is something that our army must develop with the advancement of flight technology." Because of the rapid assault of helicopters and the ability to undertake part of the air-to-ground attack, it can greatly improve the mobility of our army and provide fire support in areas that are inaccessible to heavy-duty troops. This is It will be more obvious in our battle against the island. ""

"The simple concept is that armed helicopters are tanks, assaults are equal to infantry combat, and transport helicopters are equal to armored transport vehicles." Wu Zhe then used a very vivid metaphor to explain the role of air assault.

Brigadier Xiao said with some surprise: "It's an interesting metaphor. What do you think of the helicopter battalion in the light synthetic brigade proposed by Comrade Jiangbei? You know, the helicopter battalion and the air assault battalion look almost the same?"

Wu Zhe said with a smile: "Brigadier Commander, the Chief of Staff and I actually discussed this when we were in Lao A. The equipment seems to be similar, but the difference is still very big. The helicopter battalion has more helicopters. Moreover, it mainly plays the role of fire support and transportation, and provides support to the entire brigade. It can be said that it is a battlefield taxi, but the air assault is different. It is a dedicated force. In terms of equipment, in addition to In addition to helicopters, various equipment is mainly concentrated below the company level, and will be matched with more squad and platoon firepower, such as individual anti-aircraft missiles, anti-tank platoons, howitzer platoons, etc., and the commandos must be stronger than field troops, at least as good as special forces. Than, it can’t be too bad.”

After Wu Zhe finished speaking, the two looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction. Brigadier Xiao said: "That's good. It seems that Comrade Wu Zhe has a very clear understanding of airborne assault. No wonder the Chief of Staff insists on poaching you." come over."

Then he continued to ask: "You just said that you and the Chief of Staff started studying these when you were at Lao A?"

Brigadier Xiao was very curious. He wanted to know more and more about Jiangbei he had dug into his inner thoughts.

"Reporting to the brigade commander's political commissar, in fact, my main research at that time was on informatization. It was because the chief of staff asked me to consider the development of other arms from the aspect of informatization and synthesis, that I got some understanding of air assault. After all, Old A is also trained to carry out raids by helicopter." When Wu Zhe said this, he began to admire Jiangbei a little.

"Hahaha, that's great. The Chief of Staff's research over the years will be used by our Marine Brigade." Brigadier Xiao laughed.

This smile made Jiang Bei feel a little embarrassed, and he quickly explained: "Brigade Commander. These things haven't been put into practice yet, they are just random thoughts."

In the evening, in the beast camp under the setting sun, each company came back from the training ground one after another and played songs at the entrance of the cafeteria because dinner was about to begin.

Next to a coconut tree, Cheng Cai drove a jeep and parked on the roadside. He sat in the cab and waited for a while before he saw Wu Liuyi dismissing the soldiers and walking towards him.

"Where did you get the car?" Wu Liuyi came to the car and asked curiously after reading the license plate.

"I borrowed it from the reconnaissance brigade. Hurry, get in the car. Don't let the chief of staff wait." Chengcai explained while urging Wu Liuyi to get in the car.

Wu Liuyi didn't say anything, just opened the door and got in the car.

"Fortunately, we have a day off tomorrow and don't need to train. Otherwise, you and I wouldn't be able to go to the brigade headquarters because we don't know what the chief of staff asked us to do." Chengcai said with a smile, then started the car and drove towards the outside of the camp.

Wu Liuyi shook his head. He didn't know why the chief of staff suddenly asked them to go.

Under Jiangbei's strict management, Cheng Cai, the deputy lieutenant of the company, had to have a day off to go from the animal camp to the brigade headquarters when he was not working. He had to keep an eye on the recruits every day, and he didn't have much time to go there on his days off.

The two arrived at the brigade headquarters. As soon as they parked the car in the courtyard of the cadres' families, they saw Jiang Bei and Wu Zhe walking from the brigade headquarters building. Chengcai and Wu Liuyi were stunned for a moment.

"You two haven't come over yet?" Jiang Bei soon saw the two of them.

"chief of staff!"

The two people walked over quickly, saluted Jiangbei, then looked at Wu Zhe, and shouted in surprise and joy: "Normal heart! Why are you here?"

Wu Zhe was also very happy to see the two of them and joked: "Why, you don't welcome me."

The two shook their heads: "How is it possible? It's too late for us to be happy. It's just why you came here suddenly."

Jiang Bei explained: "I dug him from Haite, and he will be the commander of the Air Force Breakthrough Battalion from now on."

"Breaking out of the camp?" The two of them suddenly realized.

After some explanations, Jiang Bei brought the three of them to his home for a small gathering. (End of chapter)
