Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

On January 1, just the sixth day after the soldiers of the Combined Battalion returned to the capital, the military held a grand commendation meeting for them in the auditorium of the Beijing Military Region.

In addition to more than 800 soldiers from the Hesheng Battalion, there were also Zhou Yang, Liang Shi and many senior officials from the Military Commission attending this commendation meeting. The standards were very high.

At the meeting, military bosses fully affirmed the brilliant results achieved by the combined battalion on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang based on the detailed data reported by the southern Xinjiang frontline headquarters.

At the same time, he also highly praised the fine style and strong combat effectiveness of this unit.

Subsequently, the military commended and rewarded the soldiers of the combined battalion in accordance with the previously agreed upon plan.

First of all, the combined battalion was recorded with first-class collective merit, won the honorary title of "Xinjiang Attack Battalion" in southern China, and was awarded a general award throughout the army.

Secondly, 186 people including Zhou Yang, Liang Shi, Jiang Chengcai, Fan Debiao, Liu Yunlong, and Zhang Huadong were awarded first-class individual merit, and 155 people including Fan Debiao and Liu Yunlong were awarded the title of "Combat Heroes of the Defense of Southern Xinjiang"...

The living heroes must be commended, and the sacrificed ones must not be left behind.

All soldiers of the combined battalion who died on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang were rated as martyrs and were awarded first-class individual merit...

Finally, the superiors took this opportunity to formally issue an order to form a synthetic brigade.

It was also announced that Zhou Yang concurrently serves as the deputy commander of the Saibei Provincial Military Region, and Jiang Chengcai concurrently serves as the deputy political commissar of the Saibei Provincial Military Region. It was announced that the two of them would draw elite forces from the entire Saibei Provincial Military Region and be fully responsible for the establishment of a synthetic brigade.

As for the promotions and adjustments of other meritorious personnel, they were not announced at the meeting.

However, unlike the high-profile commendation meeting, this time it was unusually low-key in terms of publicity about the synthesis camp and the meritorious soldiers.

Not to mention TV news, even the media and radio did not follow up. On the night of the commendation meeting, CCTV News broadcast a message saying that our army had conquered the outer positions of Faka Mountain, but a certain unit responsible for the main attack mission We suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to the rear to rest...

Some soldiers were very depressed and confused about this situation, but Zhou Yang, who was well aware of his superiors' intentions, did not care.

Obviously, this news is not for the Chinese people, but for our opponents.

The above is telling the Southern Monkey through the mouthpiece of CCTV that although we conquered the city and made great progress some time ago, in fact the price we paid was extremely heavy. You are still very strong, don't be scared!

After the commendation meeting, Zhou Yang and Liang Shi returned to Babaoliang Village with all the soldiers of the Hesheng Battalion, along with Li Youwei and the children.

Before returning to the village, Zhou Yang attended the rehearsal of the 79 Spring Festival Gala at Yang Qi's invitation.

Compared with last year's Spring Festival Gala, CCTV was more fully prepared this year. Even the recording venue was replaced with a new one, and the audio equipment was all imported high-end goods.

All in all, this year’s Spring Festival Gala is a shot in the arm!

In addition, Zhou Yang also watched the recording of the third episode of "Military Observation" live.

The guest of this episode, Zhang Zhongmou, was asked to predict the Iran-Iraq war in order to create his character as a master strategist.

Obviously, Zhang Zhongmou was born to eat this kind of rice. Although Zhou Yang's script had been written in detail, Zhou Yang still heard a lot of different things from Zhang Zhongmou during the actual recording.

These things are all information collected by Zhang Zhongmou himself, involving all aspects of politics, economy, military and religion between Shadamu and Persia. With these detailed information as evidence, it more fully explains the rationality of the war between the two countries.

Although Zhou Yang only saw the recording of the program, he can imagine that once this program is broadcast, it will inevitably cause an uproar, just like Zhang Zhongmou predicted that the Woolly Bear Alliance would invade Afghanistan...

.........

Yunshan County. Babaoliang Village!

When Zhou Yang and others returned from the capital, they happened to catch up with the end of the village's New Year's Eve gathering.

With the experience of last year, the village is more fully prepared this year and has attracted more vendors from other places. Even many vendors from Northern Hebei Province and Shanxi Province have come to sell their specialties.

The grand fair in Babaoliang Village also attracted a large number of local people to participate. It is said that on the day of the fair, 50,000 people poured into Babaoliang Village, and the entire village was almost overcrowded.

In addition, the entire Yunshan County has achieved a bumper harvest this year. Although the income of the members of various production teams is not as amazing as that of Babaoliang United Village, it is not much better than in previous years.

The New Year is approaching, and the members and common people who have become rich are also willing to spend money to buy New Year's goods.

From the first day of the Babao Liang Fair, the vendors discovered that the people here were not willing to spend money, and the goods they prepared might not be enough...

Besides, Li Youwei and others were naturally very happy when they encountered such a lively event just after returning home.

Although they had almost prepared all the New Year's goods at home in the capital, Li Youwei happily called her mother and sister-in-law, and then took the children to go shopping.

But while Li Youwei was going to the market, Zhou Yang and Jiang Chengcai went to Qingcheng.

On the one hand, they have all taken up posts in the provincial military region. They should report to their new units. Not only should they show their faces, but they should also meet with the main leaders of the military region first, so as to avoid the embarrassment of getting to know each other when they meet later.

On the other hand, it is because they shoulder heavy responsibilities and need the support of the provincial military region.

With the convening of this commendation conference, the establishment of a synthetic brigade and an advisory group was officially put on the agenda.

The advisory group was easy to talk about. Zhou Yang had discussed it with his superiors before and also recruited officers and cadres from the combined battalion.

However, considering that the new year is approaching and I am going abroad this time, I don’t know when I will be able to come back.

So Zhou Yang applied to his superiors to let the soldiers go back to spend the New Year with their families before setting off to perform missions in the Middle East after the New Year.

As for forming the advisory group, we just need to come back after the year and go through the process.

But forming a combined brigade is different. A complete combined brigade has more than 8,000 people and requires a large number of advanced weapons, including tanks, armored vehicles, heavy artillery, helicopters and other heavy weapons.

Not to mention the need to mobilize so many weapons and equipment, it would be difficult to handle just these thousands of officers and soldiers.

After all, the combined brigade is a highly information-based and mechanized elite force, and it cannot be done by just pulling in any strong soldier.

First of all, every soldier needs to be literate. Only by being literate can they better operate those advanced weapons and equipment and better understand the tactical requirements of the combined brigade.

The same is true for military officers. Being brave and experienced in fighting does not mean you can become an officer or a cadre.

Secondly, they were ordered to form a combined brigade, and the provincial military region was also asked to fully cooperate. However, after the personnel and equipment were mobilized, where the troops should be trained and how the logistics should be ensured, these had to be discussed by Zhou Yang and Jiang Chengcai with the leaders of the provincial military region.

Therefore, in order to better complete this task, the two of them rushed to Qingcheng the next day after returning from the capital.

The Provincial Military Region also received orders from their superiors and understood the intentions of Zhou Yang and Jiang Chengcai. Commander Cai of the military region immediately convened a meeting of the military region's leadership team.

At the meeting, Commander Cai first announced the appointment of Zhou Yang as deputy commander of the provincial military region and Jiang Chengcai as deputy political commissar, and welcomed their arrival.

When talking about the tasks of the two men, Commander Cai immediately said that the Provincial Military Region would fully cooperate with them to form this combined brigade.

With the support of Commander Cai, Zhou Yang was not polite and immediately came up with the revised plan.

After some discussion, the establishment of a synthetic brigade was officially implemented.

According to the plan formulated by Zhou Yang, all soldiers and officers are selected from all active troops in the military region. All soldiers are required to have a junior high school degree or above, and all officers are military school students. Priority is given to those with practical experience.

All weapons and equipment are configured accordingly and the provincial military region is responsible for procurement and deployment.

While the combined battalion is being formed, in order to meet the daily training of this unit, according to Zhou Yang's request, the Provincial Military Region will build a training ground deep in the uninhabited sandy land in the northern part of Saibei Province.

This training ground is supported by information technology and integrates guidance and monitoring, battlefield simulation, auxiliary assessment, comprehensive support, and base management. It can not only be used for peacetime tactical training, but also for actual combat exercises.

The combined brigade is not only the first unit stationed at this training ground, but will also be the only garrison unit at this training ground in the future.

According to Zhou Yang's plan, when the training ground is completed and the combat effectiveness of the combined brigade is formed, all division and brigade-level combat troops in the army will be invited to come here to discuss swordsmanship at the peak, making the combined brigade the whetstone for the entire army.

I imagine that within a few years, "crushing Zhu Rihe and capturing Jiang Chengcai alive" will become a reality...
