Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Zhang Anbang's reputation as a smiling tiger was known to everyone in 702, and Zuo Chenyi was naturally well aware of it as well.

I heard that since he took office as the deputy head of the training department, several companies have been doing extra training.

However, when this person was giving instructions, he was gentle and polite throughout, with a constant smile, a slow and leisurely tone, and very polite words.

While speaking, he would pat the company commander or platoon leader on the arm, offer them a cigarette or a bottle of water, but if anyone tried to find a reason to discuss or refuse, he could immediately shut them down with ten or eight excuses, leaving them with no choice but to agree.

The thought that the deputy head of the division's training department, who was in charge of all training and exercises for the entire division, said he would come to visit when he went down to the grassroots level made Zuo Chenyi think of four words: "It's all over."

At that moment, Zuo Chenyi's mind raced. No, he had to go home and tell the company commander as soon as possible. He had heard that when this man was the deputy company commander of the Seventh Company, his own company commander was his platoon leader, and they had a very close relationship.

Out of respect for his own company commander, he probably shouldn't have to do too much extra training. After all, he's a former leader, and he should at least give his old subordinates some face.

Before Zhang Anbang could speak, Gu Xiaonan said with a smile, "Comrade Zhang, why are you scaring Lieutenant Zuo? He's here to help."

You haven't told me what you thought of my suggestion yet. Should we go get our weapons? And as a deputy section chief who came from an armored reconnaissance company, what do you think of the tactics I just mentioned? What's your evaluation?

"Ahem," Zhang Anbang cleared his throat, "Well, honey, stop messing around, I'll just drive on one side, on the other side, honey, we can just stay on the other side."

After saying that, Zhang Anbang directly unscrewed the long top hatch lock handle on the left side, lifted the hatch outward, pulled out the metal support rod to lock the positioning hole, and the left hatch was immediately and steadily fixed open.

Zhang Anbang stepped onto the seats of the folding infantry chairs on both sides of the troop compartment, braced his feet against the seat frame, and used his hips to brace himself against the edge of the hatch, standing steadily in a posture not much different from that of someone setting up a machine gun to fire.

Of course, he didn't have a machine gun in his hand at the moment, only his wife, whom he was holding tightly with his right arm. The two of them leaned out from the left compartment, close together, their chests and abdomens protruding from the top of the armored vehicle.

The brown-green casual clothes, the bright red ribbons, the pure white wedding dress, the dark green armor, the jet-black machine gun, and the cold, shiny metallic color revealed by the wear on the armor create a picture that is strangely colored yet remarkably harmonious.

Zuo Chenyi turned his head and looked at the two people leaning out of the rear cabin and standing close together. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "My sister-in-law is such a good person. It's just that she's with a smiling tiger. Hmm, her eyesight must be a little bad."

I never expected that this smiling tiger, who always speaks so venomously, would behave like this in front of his own wife. Could it be that what the company commander said was true, that women are more troublesome than getting an infantry fighting vehicle working together?

Zuo Chenyi shook his head, focused on his own thoughts, and this time he held back, not laughing at all.

Within two or three minutes, all six grooms had carried their wives into the armored vehicle.

Zuo Chenyi tapped the machine gun shield and loudly issued the order: "All vehicles, take note! Proceed in formation along the predetermined route!"

As soon as the order was given, within ten seconds, the air-cooled diesel engines roared to life, and the sounds of the engines from the six vehicles mingled together, creating a rumbling noise.

As the vehicles started moving, the drivers and temporary drivers went straight back inside, closed the hatches, and left the bride and groom alone in each vehicle to receive everyone's attention.

Five minutes later, the armored vehicle that had been traveling along the camp road stopped in front of the division headquarters auditorium.

As the Type 89 armored vehicle, decorated with red silk and flowers, came to a stop and the engine was turned off, the melodious and soothing wedding march flowed slowly through the external speakers of the auditorium, its gentle melody filling the entire camp area.

Six couples walked side by side, their figures upright, as they stepped off the car, straightened their military uniform skirts, and slowly entered the hall along the red carpet in front of the auditorium.

The division headquarters auditorium had been newly decorated, with bright lights on the ceiling and festive red double happiness characters and ribbons hanging on the walls. The audience was packed with officers and soldiers dressed in their finest attire and their families who had traveled from afar.

After the newlyweds stood on either side of the stage, all the officers, soldiers, and their families took their seats in an orderly fashion, the music slowly stopped, and the solemn group wedding ceremony officially began.

Immediately, the auditorium speakers resounded with the stirring and powerful anthem of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The majestic and resonant singing filled the entire auditorium, and the powerful melody was deafening.

This laid a sincere and solemn foundation for this union, witnessed by armor and united by the military camp.

As the military songs ended, the auditorium fell into a brief silence, with soft, soothing instrumental music gently laying the groundwork to create a warm and festive atmosphere.

Li Yongxing, the head of the publicity department and the master of ceremonies, walked onto the stage in a crisp uniform and began to introduce the guests in a clear and steady voice: "Good morning, esteemed leaders, comrades-in-arms, and family members of the military!"

In the auspicious month of July, I donned my military uniform to attend the celebration.

Today, our division is holding a grand group wedding for young officers and soldiers. Six couples are holding their wedding ceremony together, and all the comrades in the division are witnessing this unique romance in the military camp.

First, please allow me to introduce the leaders present today: Comrade Chen Shi, Commander of the T Division; Comrade Liu Gang, Political Commissar of the T Division; Comrade Li Kangmei, Deputy Commander of the T Division; and Comrade Tian Ming, Director of the Political Department of the T Division.

Commanders of all regiments, leaders of all departments and offices, and comrades-in-arms and relatives of the newly recruits from all units of the division who have come to observe the ceremony—let us welcome you all with warm applause!

A burst of neat applause immediately followed. That's right, Gao Cheng's father, Gao Shijun, wasn't introduced. He wasn't here today as a military commander; that would have made the occasion too grand.

Gao Shijun came in a private capacity today, dressed in casual clothes, and sat in the family section with Gao Cheng's mother.

Wang Qingrui was in the same situation as him. Today, he was also dressed casually and sat with his wife and Gu Xiaonan's mother, Director Chen. They were considered Zhang Anbang's family members.

Six or seven seconds later, as Section Chief Li, the master of ceremonies, raised his arm and the applause subsided, he picked up the microphone and continued, "Distinguished leaders, officers and soldiers, family members and friends, good afternoon!"

Soldiers dedicate themselves to the country and safeguard the lights of every household; military wives maintain their homes with love and protect the warmth of their communities.

Today, we gather here to witness the happy marriages of six dedicated soldiers who have served in the military.

They dedicated their youth to national defense and reserved their tenderness for their loved ones. May this joyous occasion bring harmony to both family and country! After a brief opening, the emcee introduced the military deeds of the six grooms one by one, recounting the dedication of the officers and soldiers in training and preparing for war, and also expressing gratitude to the military wives for their silent contributions and selfless support of their families.

After the introduction, the background music gradually decreased, and solemn ceremony music began to play. Section Chief Li continued, "Establishing a family and career, and working together for the country, the officers and soldiers are rooted in the barracks and stick to their posts. Behind them is the silent support of their families."

Next, let's give a warm round of applause to Comrade Chen Shi, Commander of Division T, who will come to the stage to officiate at this group wedding and offer his best wishes to the six couples. Please welcome him with applause!
