Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Gu Zhenchuan was naturally happy with the suggestion. He both cherished his daughter and felt somewhat helpless about her; you could tell from his expression when he heard the voice earlier.

Looking at the railway's eyes darting around erratically, Gu Zhenchuan wondered what this big iron hoe was up to this time, but his daughter's persistent pestering was still giving him a headache.

He nodded in agreement with Tie Lu's words, "Okay, okay, Xiao Nan, you take Zhang Anbang out for a walk. Your Uncle Tie and I have some work to discuss. We can come back around dinner time."

Gu Xiaonan was a little helpless, but she still saluted crisply and said, "Yes, sir."

Zhang Anbang saluted just as crisply and cleanly, "Yes, sir."

He then turned to Gu Xiaonan and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Major Gu."

As the two left the office, Tie Lu plopped down in his chair again. "Old boss, last time was really an accident. You know my character; I'm an honest man."

To be honest, I'm not asking for too many this time, just three. I promise I'll return at least two to you later, is that alright?

Once it was just the two of them left, Gu Zhenchuan became much more casual. "Get lost. Three? Not a single one. Give me back the two you had before, and I'll believe you and give you two more."

"Hiss," Tie Lu felt a toothache as soon as Gu Zhenchuan said it. So those two weren't in his hands anymore. He wanted to return them, but there was nothing he could do.

One of them is now serving as a company commander and battalion parachute instructor in the Eastern Divine Sword unit, while the other is doing the same job in the Northwest Black Tiger battalion. How could they possibly come back?

If he could get it back, why would he need to come here again demanding it?

Of course, other units also have skilled paratroopers and helicopter pilots, but when it comes to paratrooper and helicopter landing operations, this is the most professional place.

Seeing the old leader's serious expression of refusal, Tie Lu chuckled twice; he really had come prepared.

"Alright, alright, old boss, can we just catch up? I've come all this way, you can't just let me leave like this, you have to treat me to a meal."

"Well, catching up is fine, and meals are okay too, but don't even think about hiring me. Railway, Railway, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're not a decent guy."

I've asked around, and you tell me, you've returned all the talent you've given away. Some people even returned two people after you left for every one they had.

"But here in particular, not a single one has returned. What, do you think we paratroopers are easy to bully?"

After Gu Zhenchuan was promoted to army commander, he learned some things about the railway, which made him even angrier.

Goodness, back when you came to my side, I painstakingly taught you all sorts of parachute and helicopter landing techniques.

You made my precious daughter cry, and I didn't even hit you, but you actually betrayed her family.

He knew, of course, that there were some things the railway couldn't control, but he still felt really frustrated by this situation.

"No, no, old leader, you've wronged me so much. I'm more wronged than Dou E. Our airborne troops are a famous and heroic unit."

The Battle of Shangganling was a bloody battle that lasted 43 days. The enemy withstood more than a million artillery shells and held their ground on the scorched earth, repelling more than 900 attacks by the American army and killing more than 25,000 enemy soldiers.

That battle established the formidable reputation of our Thousand-Year Army.

Not to mention our heroic martyrs, such as Huang Jiguang, a special-class combat hero who blocked a machine gun emplacement with his chest to clear the way for the troops.

Sun Zhanyuan, a first-class combat hero and iron-blooded platoon leader, crawled to command despite having both legs blown off, killing eighty enemies and detonating a grenade to perish with them.

……

There was also Qiu Shaoyun, a first-class combat hero who was assigned to our 15th Army at the time. In order not to expose the troops, he remained motionless even when engulfed in flames. He upheld the discipline of infiltration with his life, and his extreme forbearance and loyalty brought about victory in the battle.

……

And then there's our Special Merit Eighth Company, which held the tunnels for 14 days and nights, organizing over a hundred battles and annihilating more than 1760 enemy soldiers despite being cut off from water and food.

The 135-man company was wiped out three times and rebuilt three times, with 335 men added in total. In the end, only 6 men emerged from the tunnels and used a battle flag with 381 bullet holes to nail the main peak of Shangganling to the ground.

Our 15th Army, with 45,000 soldiers, fought a bloody battle at Shangganling, producing 12,347 meritorious individuals and more than 200 heroic collectives.

61年，军委命令咱们15军整建制改为空降兵15军，咱们7月1日正式挂牌，仅1个月就完成了整编 。

Huang Jiguang's company completed its first parachute jump in 67 days, and the entire army formed a complete parachute landing capability that same year, achieving a seamless transition from the army to the airborne troops.

From iron feet to iron fists in the air, spinning fast, spinning steadily, spinning powerfully, turning the heroic spirit of Shangganling into thunderous combat power descending from the sky.

Who dares to look down on our 15th Army, or our airborne troops?

The railway was filled with passion, and as he spoke, his dark face turned red.

"That's right, our 15th Army is a unit that fought its way to the top, a genuine old unit of the 129th Division."

Gu Zhenchuan was very pleased to hear this and added a comment.

"That's right, old boss, look, aren't you wronging me?"

The railway worker spoke with a look of grievance on his face.

"You rascal, fine, fine, come over for dinner tonight and tell me, what exactly happened?"

Gu Zhenchuan said with a chuckle, his tone noticeably different.

"Hehe, old leader, we'll talk about that later. I remember Xiaonan was born in '79, right? She's already a major. She's a daughter of a military family. You've raised your daughter well, old leader."

The railway official didn't mention the person in question and immediately changed the subject. He had been joking with Lao Wang earlier, and at the time he was thinking to himself that Zhang Anbang was so young, why was he in such a hurry to find a partner?

However, after going back and doing some research, even the railway worker himself was a little anxious. He was familiar with the area, could get on the train, and was of a suitable age. The one from Commander Gu's family was considered very excellent.

He had seen her as a child and knew she was a beauty. He brought Zhang Anbang with him this time hoping to introduce the two of them, and it turned out to be quite a coincidence.

We need to hurry, otherwise if someone else gets there first, Old Wang will definitely yell at him, he'll be jumping up and down cursing him.

Gu Zhenchuan's smile widened. "Yes, according to the lunar calendar, she was born in December 1979. This child is indeed promising, but it has nothing to do with me. It's all due to her own hard work."

As Gu Zhenchuan spoke, his expression was somewhat wistful. "When she was little, I was busy with work, and her mother worked at the hospital, which was also very busy. She started first grade before she was even five years old."

You know what, this kid really has a knack for school. He skipped grades in elementary, middle and high school, and at the age of 15, he was admitted to the PLA Information Engineering Academy.

He studied communications engineering and after graduating with a bachelor's degree at the age of 19, he was recommended to pursue a master's degree in military communications.

I graduated with a master's degree last year, was specially recruited into the army, was awarded the rank of major, and joined the Electronic Research Institute as an electronic countermeasures engineer.

And even then, she's not stopping; she's thinking of pursuing a part-time doctorate. She's incredibly ambitious.
