Chapter 98: Heading To Division Combat Competition, Target: “division’s Strongest Company”
The two selected competition teams are both opponents and comrades at the same time.
Because the Division Grand Competition has two first places.
The established company competition teams participating by company unit will undergo separate awards after the competition, in other words, company-level first place.
The company that takes this first place will receive the “T Division Victory Company” title.
The company possessing this title is equivalent to the strongest company in the entire division.
Officially certified strongest in the entire division!!!
None other!!
Having this title carries immense pride for the company’s warriors, and the company commander can strut around even more awesomely.
If Steel Seventh Company could get it, then Gao Cheng’s classic line would need to be changed.
From “prestige in the regiment, dominance in the battalion, I’m the boss among the regiment’s sixteen companies,” to “prestige in the division, dominance in the regiment, I’m the boss among the division’s eighty-five companies.”
Gao Cheng gets the competition orders first-hand, so he naturally knows about the “T Division Victory Company” title.
Now having smoothly taken the regiment competition first place and earned the qualification to go to the division for the competition, the goal has naturally risen accordingly.
Starting to aim for this “strongest in the entire division”!
Thinking about getting this title, truly relying on their own strength to strut across the entire division from then on, Gao Cheng couldn’t control his accelerating heartbeat.
It’s just too exhilarating!
Besides this extremely influential title, the word “strongest” attracts countless people, and first place also brings collective second-class merit.
This is second-class merit~~
Even if it’s collective second-class merit, it’s a matchless honor.
And extremely high status value.
The strongest title that makes people infinitely yearn, plus the “temptation” of this collective second-class merit honor, makes this company-level first place extremely valuable.
It becomes the object that all companies strive for with all their might in the annual division grand competition process.
The second first place in the division grand competition can be called regiment-level first place.
Because this honor falls to the regiment, with main honors concentrated in the regiment, for competitors from the grassroots, the company is their home.
The sense of belonging is slightly less, so comparatively, the influence is a bit smaller.
And the unit that achieves regiment-level first place in the competition will be rated as T Division’s “Four Iron Model Unit,” also a very weighty title.
Each regiment is definitely fighting fiercely for it!
Compared to company-level first place, it’s similar to regiment competition, but regiment-level first place evaluation is slightly more complex.
It is tallied by regiment unit, with each regiment’s overall results as the standard, that is, picking the best results from the two teams sent by each regiment in each event, and the regiment with the most individual event wins is regiment-level first place.
It’s equivalent to looking at the entire regiment’s strength, while the previous first place looks at company strength.
To bring out better strength and have a greater probability of taking both first places in the division grand competition, Regiment Commander Wang specially made an arrangement.
There are three days until the division grand competition, and Regiment Commander Wang didn’t let the competition teams go back to rest.
Even though each company is in the same base, going back takes minutes.
Instead, he specially ordered the Logistics Department to coordinate with each unit, to temporarily set up a special training camp right there in this competition area.
Responsible for all eating, drinking, sleeping, and usage needs for the two competition teams over the next three days.
In short, one sentence.
As long as the regiment has it, it must be provided in abundance.
Competition is actually very resource-intensive, if let loose to train desperately, three days could exhaust one company’s one-month supplies quota.
Now with the team responsible for all this, there’s absolutely no worries on the backend.
As the saying goes: Sharpening a spear just before battle makes it bright even if not fast.
Thinking of gaining honor for themselves and the company, showing their style on the division’s big stage, the two competition teams heading to the division are very positive.
They cherish this three-day training camp time immensely, with each team maxing out training.
The regiment uses trucks to deliver various nutritional products, ensuring the competitors’ body needs, and training bullets are brought in by truck, one after another piled into mountains.
Sharpshooters are made from piles of bullets.
Though this is only half right, becoming a sharpshooter is eighty percent talent, but even with talent, hardworking training is needed.
Under Chen Jun’s lead, Steel Seventh Company’s competition team executes relatively less desperate training.
Unlike the regiment competition team which is like injected with chicken blood, using training in place of competition, making every training session equivalent to a match for the competitors.
Chen Jun advocates relaxed-style training, letting competitors focus mainly on finding their feel.
Competition very much needs feel.
This thing is invisible, intangible, indescribable, but it truly exists in the world, and everyone has experienced it to some degree.
When feel is good, state directly takes off, when feel is bad, it’s very poor.
Chen Jun believes that the people he’s leading already have sufficient strength, no need to keep elevating at this point.
As long as they can maintain good body state, and find better competition feel.
That will suffice!
Gao Cheng is now completely convinced by Chen Jun, and for anything Chen Jun decides, Gao Cheng will support it without hesitation.
The key is: I may not understand competition, but I understand employing talent to lead the competition.
This is the smartest, and a kind of great wisdom.
Training time always passes quickly.
In the blink of an eye, three days gone.
Finally, the day of the division mid-year grand competition arrived, and Regiment Commander Wang placed great importance on this competition, solemnly organizing a swearing-in rally at the regiment headquarters.
Treating this trip to division headquarters for the competition as an expedition into combat.
No pie-in-the-sky benefits.
Focusing purely on honor!
Soldiers take obeying orders as their duty, regard honor as their second life, and whenever it involves honor-related matters, it always gets soldiers pumped with chicken blood.
The swearing-in rally maxed out morale, with Regiment Commander Wang Qing Rui personally leading the expedition.
Coming they rode canvas trucks, but this time representing the regiment to the division for competition, the vehicles were upgraded to luxury buses.
Full display of prestige.
Since the entire T Division is in the same large base, big enough to be like a small county, each regiment’s camps are built around division headquarters, with the farthest only twenty or thirty kilometers.
So each regiment’s distance to division headquarters is similar, and time-wise basically the same.
Set off from the regiment after the morning swearing-in rally, arriving at noon at the competition camp set up for the competition, actually just the division direct reconnaissance battalion’s large training ground modified.
The division reconnaissance battalion’s annual results are so good, undoubtedly because the reconnaissance battalion warriors truly have strength.
Secondly, part of the reason is that the venue for the annual division mid-year competition is always on the division reconnaissance battalion’s training ground.
On their home training ground, they know it inside out, intimately familiar with every inch of land.
It provides great help to competitors’ state performance.
If saying it’s unfair.
No way around it.
The world has no absolute fairness, who let them have “division direct” in front of their designation.
