Morning of March 29, 1938!
The Si Xing Regiment held an award ceremony belonging to the Si Xing Regiment in a valley called Wild Wolf Valley four miles away from the regiment headquarters.
As the supreme commander of the Four Lines Regiment, Tang Dao will personally award medals to the 10 officers and soldiers who have achieved first-class military merit.
As the host, it was Ye Chenghuan, director of the Political Training Department of the New Science and Technology Regiment, who read out the list of meritorious service and awards, which could be regarded as pushing the commander of the main force of the 80th Army in front of all the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Army.
Moreover, Director Ye and Deputy Commander Lei will award medals to 32 recipients of 'Second Class Military Merit', while Deputy Commander Gong and Chief of Staff Zhuang will award medals to the recipients of 'Third Class Military Merit'.
Battalion Commanders Guo Shouzhi and Leng Feng awarded medals to the winners of the "Fourth Class Military Merit".
The ranking of several chief officers in the regiment is basically determined in the minds of the officers and soldiers.
This time it was not all about shouting. The communications company that was being established had already connected the wires two days ago, used the diesel DC generator, and built a loudspeaker. The sound was enough to make people sit cross-legged in the field.
Thousands of soldiers on the plains of Wolf Valley heard it clearly.
Ye Chenghuan was from Henan Province. He read out the names of those who had achieved first-class military merit in a strong Henan Province accent, and included the reasons for their achievement.
"In this battle of Jindong, the winner of the first-class military merit of our Four Elements Regiment!"
"Go out with a clear mind!"
"Senior Soldier Mingxin killed the Japanese invaders Fifteen in the XC area of Licheng, and effectively prevented the Japanese invaders from driving our people in Licheng to the front of the line of fire. It is rated as a first-class military achievement!"
"Rob out of the queue!"
"Sergeant Rob, in the Beicheng District of Licheng, killed 8 Japanese invaders and led a team to seize more than ten pieces of machinery and equipment in Lucheng. He was rated as a first-class military merit!"
In the end, the original special forces squadron became the biggest winner of the entire Four Lines Regiment. Four people were selected for first-class military merit alone, while the other six people were divided among the three infantry battalions and Cheng Tietsou's 2nd Artillery Company.
Leng Feng's 3rd Battalion, which was the first to break through the south gate, had as many as two people selected, followed by Cheng Tietshou's 2nd Artillery Battalion, which also had two people. Lei Xiong's 1st Battalion and Guo Shouzhi's 2nd Battalion only got one spot each.
But even the tyrannical Lei Xiong had nothing to argue with. The special forces of the special squadron sneaked into the county in squads, groups, and even as individual soldiers. Kuroko's eight-man squad actually had to complete the attack on at least one Japanese infantry squad.
The seemingly impossible task of defending a fortress.
However, they did a very good job and successfully cut off the connection between the Japanese defense forces on the four walls and the headquarters. As a result, they were leaderless and could not organize a systematic defense. In the end, they could only be defeated one by one.
To break through a county town defended by thousands of people, as well as city walls and other solid fortifications, the two infantry battalions of the Four Lines Regiment lost no more than 30 people. This can be called a miraculous result, and the role of special forces accounted for 7%
ten.
Moreover, the number of enemies they killed was even more difficult for ordinary infantry to match. If Tang Dao had not considered the mood of other troops, there would even be several more to this level of military exploits.
Cheng Tietsou's 2nd Artillery Battery has nothing to say. They shot down several Japanese planes and avenged the friendly 769th Regiment. Not to mention, they also chilled the Japanese Army Air Force and did not dare to come back easily.
The skies above Jindong created good conditions for the Fourth Army Regiment to dispatch large-scale manpower to transport materials.
For this reason, the young leader of the 769th Regiment specially asked Tang Dao to bring a letter to Cheng Tietshou, saying that he owed Cheng Tietshou a favor and that if he had a chance to meet him in the future, he would treat him to a drink.
The officers and soldiers whose names were called walked up to the wooden rostrum that had been built overnight one by one. The soldiers sitting neatly under the stage were all envious as they looked at the golden medals that Tang Dao wore on them one by one.
Shen Laoliu, who did not receive first-class military merit but only received second-class military merit, was even more envious and drooling.
It’s okay if you don’t envy me!
It seems that the officers have said that the base of the commemorative medal awarded for this level of military merit is made of pure gold. The gold used alone weighs one tael. It does not have much commemorative significance or honor. The value of this gold alone,
Both exceed 200 oceans.
"Chief Steak, tell me, if I do that stupid boy's task, can I also get a medal to wear?" Shen Laoliu whispered to Niu Er's ear.
Originally, Niu Er was the team leader, but the special squadron will soon be reorganized into a reconnaissance company. The three platoon leaders, Heizi and Niu Er, will definitely occupy two of them. The remaining one will depend on the two leaders, Lao Hei and Gu Xishui.
Who has been elected?
However, this has nothing to do with Shen Laoliu, who performed outstandingly on the battlefield. Shen Laoliu, who had already confirmed that he had won second-class military merit, did not choose to be promoted to military rank, but was promoted to military pay level.
After becoming a second lieutenant officer, he had to manage dozens of people under his command. Shen Laoliu's head hurt just thinking about it. It would be more worry-free to be a marksman in the firepower team.
But if he doesn't want to be promoted, it doesn't mean that Shen Laoliu doesn't want to make money. The gold for a medal alone is more than 200 oceans, which is faster than earning money from anything else. He is giving a briefing to his future platoon leader. If there is any good job in the future, remember to send it.
he goes.
The fact that even Brainless Rob can win first-class military exploits has convinced this old man that choice is more important than hard work.
Just like he chose to be a soldier of Tang Dao, if he made a wrong move, he would still be standing on the battlefield without knowing it! Then there is still the thought of trying to make a lot of money.
"Brother Shen, just keep your eyes on the medal made of gold! How about we change places and you make your own arrangements, maybe you will get some first-class military exploits." Faced with the subtext of the veteran, Niu Niu
Er smiled lightly.
"Then don't change it, you can't change it, you absolutely can't change it!" Shen Laoliu shook his head repeatedly.
There is also a principle for this military merit evaluation. If you are an officer and you are qualified to be evaluated for first-class military merit, you will be automatically downgraded to a lower grade unless your outstanding military merit cannot be reduced.
In Tang Dao's original words: "You are an officer. It is your duty as a commander to command battles and achieve victory. You cannot gain military exploits even if you become an officer. All the benefits should be taken by you alone!"
Kuroko and Niu Er, who originally had outstanding military exploits, were completely separated from first-class and second-class military exploits due to this reason, and were downgraded to third-class military exploits.
An infantry company commander like Li Jijin, who led his infantry company to be the first to rush into Licheng, was even worse. His soldiers had won first-class, second-class, and third-class military exploits. He could count them on one hand.
The infantry company commander was awarded a fourth-class consolation prize.
Especially in those few days I heard that the first-class military merit medals are made of gold, the second-class military merit medals are half gold and half silver, the third-class military merit medals are mostly silver, the fourth-class military merit medals are all bronze, and Li Dalian, who has always been stingy, has a black face.
of.
It is inevitable for the officers to be dissatisfied, but the soldiers who occupy the main body of the Four Lines Regiment are rejoicing. As long as the officers do not compete with them for credit, they will dare to risk their lives to fight for it without worrying about their own death.
, but the credit belongs to others.
Of course, Tang Dao and several senior officers had already set an example before this. Officers above the rank of colonel were not allowed to participate in the selection of military merit. The lieutenants still had a chance, but no one could say this.
Moreover, almost all captain-level officers were single-handedly promoted by Tang Dao. Although veteran Youzi Li Jijin felt heartbroken that he would never get this kind of gold medal in the future, he never said a word about Tang Tuanzuo on any occasion.
no.
This is Tang Dao's current prestige in the Four Elements Regiment. If it were anyone else, even if he wanted to stand on the side of the majority of officers and soldiers, he would not be able to overwhelm this group of tough backbones.
"Also, Brother Shen, you think you only lost a gold medal!" Niu Er said, looking back at the stage with envy.
"What else are you posting?" Seeing Niu Er's attitude, Shen Laoliu suddenly felt bad.
It seems that he has missed something important.
Just after Tang Dao personally put the ten medals on the chests of the ten soldiers, he took a step back with a smile and looked at the ten bravest soldiers under his command.
The soldiers headed by Ming Xin stood at attention and were about to perform a military salute, but they saw Tang Dao smiling and waving his hands: "Don't worry, this is the first time our regiment has evaluated the military merit level. The regiment commanders and I attach great importance to it.
, I have prepared a special gift for the ten of you! It doesn’t use the regiment’s money, it uses my personal military pay.”
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and ten soldiers from the signal company walked up, each carrying a tray, and stood at attention in front of the ten soldiers.
The ten soldiers on the stage, led by Ming Xin, were stunned at first, and then their eyes shone with joy.
Soldiers like Shen Laoliu in the audience wished they could turn into giraffes immediately to see what gifts the regimental commander had purchased with his personal military salary.
In Li Jijin's sour words: "Damn it, where did the penniless Tuanzuo get the money? Isn't he afraid of being domestically assaulted by a Tantai reporter?"
As soon as he said this, which was like falling into a pickle vat, the surrounding soldiers collectively moved at least two meters away from this Dalian.
This is because most of the soldiers have been shelled on the battlefield. Regardless of whether their hearing is damaged or not, the habit of loud voices has been retained, even if it is veteran Youzi who talks sourly to himself.
Not far from their seventh company is the medical brigade. Although Captain Tantai is not here, the hearing of those female nurses is very good.
If Lao Li's words had reached the ears of Captain Tantai, the injured might not have been left unattended, but the chance of using a rougher approach was almost more than 99%, and the soldiers were not stupid.
However, it was already too late, but Da Ya, who had already joined the army for half a month, took it seriously. How dare he make fun of his own captain, the head of the domestic violence regiment? He had already put the Seventh Company on the blacklist in his heart.
If Li Jiujin, who is so sour, knew that this was happening, he would really cry!
But in fact, when Tang Dao picked up one of them and introduced it to everyone in the audience, all the soldiers, including Shen Laoliu, cried with envy.
Those were none other than sabers, ten sabers designed by Tang Tuanzuo himself and forged with machine tools!
As a soldier, apart from his comrades, the person he trusts most is undoubtedly the weapon in his hand, but a knife, a primitive murder weapon, undoubtedly belongs to the category of weapons that they trust and like.
The soldiers of the Si Xing Regiment are not short of guns now, but they are short of knives that can kill people and kill with ease.
Since the machine tools and generators were available, the first military factory in the Four Lines Regiment to determine its location had begun processing and production ten days ago.
The first one to be mass-produced is the Triangular Army Spur!
The power of the triangular military thorn has proven its ferocity in the decades of war to come. As long as it is stabbed in the torso, the Japanese army will soon suffer from excessive blood loss and lose its combat capability due to the huge wound.
However, having only the function of assassination is too simple, especially in the increasingly complex battlefield environment in the future.
Tang Dao has long wanted to make a standard saber for use by soldiers performing special missions.
It just so happens that four of the first ten people to win first-class military merit are from the special squadron, and they all need this.
Therefore, Tang Dao approached Teacher Xiao He and asked her to use the best steel to make a suitable saber according to her own design.
Of course, in Tang Dao terms, this was his personal gift, and he paid for the work and materials himself.
The current military factory is not like other units of the Four Elements Regiment. In addition to being affiliated to the Four Elements Regiment, it has its own independent system including personnel, property, etc. Tang Dao gives Teacher Xiao He the greatest autonomy.
right.
Teacher Xiao He was also a fair-minded person. Seeing that Tang Tuanzuo was willing to pay, he immediately arranged for someone to do more processing and help him complete the saber he designed.
Although everyone has different preferences for knives, some knives can attract you instantly.
The knife sent by Tang Tuanzuo was completely black. The long blade was sharpened on both sides like a short sword, but it was slightly tightened at the handle. It made people almost forget that it was a knife, and it could kill people.
The knife actually looks like a piece of handicraft.
Although every soldier knows that the whole body is pitch black to prevent the sharp blade from reflecting light. This kind of knife is used to kill people.
However, the function of this knife is not just for killing people.
If you are a military enthusiast from the future, you may blurt out a name the moment you see this double-edged blade - European military obstacle removal knife.
Yes, Tang Dao did not choose the standard military knife of the future Republic, nor did it choose the most famous American tactical assault knife, but chose this standard obstacle-clearing knife.
Because the requirements for other sabers on machine tools and steel are too high and cannot be achieved at the current level. Instead of making a saber that looks like a tiger and cannot be compared with a dog, it is better to use a saber that is fully achievable with current technology to imitate it.
Like the European military obstacle-clearing knives in my memory, the newly produced saber blade is also made from a 6 mm thick steel bar, and then the blade is polished on a large diameter roller grinding stone to form a slight air-grinding edge shape.
, on this basis, the final opening is completed by manual convex grinding.
It is characterized by being very sharp while maintaining a strong edge.
The steel used is the best steel currently available in the Four Lines Regiment. The barrel steel of the Type 89 tank is refined into steel bars in a furnace and then undergoes special heat treatment to give it amazing blade retention.
Only this kind of knife can cut through the barbed wire fence with one blow, and can also dig up the ground and pry out the mines buried in the ground.
The Tang Dao had already been tested when the sample knife was brought in a few days ago. This knife can penetrate an inch-thick steel plate and cut steel bars as thick as a little finger. Although the hardness of the steel is slightly less than that of the future, after Xiao He
Created with the efforts of talented students like the teacher, it definitely lives up to the reputation of Tang Tuanzuo's copycat little expert, and it can definitely be called the best military obstacle removal knife of this era.
However, due to current conditions, some details still cannot meet the standards Tang Dao most hopes to achieve.
For example, the thread wrapped around the handle is currently made of twine commonly used in the mountains, which only has an anti-slip effect. If placed in the future, this coiled thread alone can make a big difference. It is not only sweat-absorbent and anti-slip, but also a thin thread that is more than ten meters long.
After the line is untied, it can still bear the weight of an adult and has a bearing capacity of at least 800 pounds.
However, this is already amazing.
Just listening to Tang Dao's introduction of the functions and uses of this knife has already made a bunch of 'bumpkin' eyes sparkle after listening to it.
Gold medals seem to be less popular after the emergence of this kind of obstacle-clearing knife that is still in the experimental stage.
Of course they didn't know that Tang Tuanzuo had paid a full 500 oceans for this. The cost of 50 oceans apiece was almost close to that of a twenty-shot shell gun.
Of course, Tang Tuanzuo doesn’t have money now. He just wrote an IOU. If there is no money, he will use the design drawing to pay the bill. Teacher Xiao He is not worried at all that Tang Tuanzuo will default on the debt. She is only worried that Tang Tuanzuo will have money.
money.
For this reason, Teacher Xiao He secretly went to chat with Tantai Mingyue and reminded her in a subtle way that men become bad as soon as they have money.
Tang Dao
Teacher Xiao He who went off track will never get back to his rhythm! Will he be punished for this?
Tang Dao's intuition was very good. From then on, he had to ask Erya to borrow money to buy cigarettes.
Fortunately, Erya is generous, otherwise, Li Jijin and Xia Jiba would be half right.
Tang Tuanzuo, who was already doomed to lose his financial power, also announced at the meeting that due to steel problems, only so much could be produced at present, and would definitely be produced in the future, but the quantity would definitely be limited and would only be provided to those officers and soldiers with special military merits.
This completely ignited the venue, and many people were gearing up, planning to achieve first-class military exploits and get a saber to play with in the next battle.
However, while the soldiers focused on medals and sabers, there was a young nurse who stared at a high-spirited and handsome man on the stage and gritted her thin teeth.
It turns out that the big liar is called Ming Xin! The real owner is finally confirmed.
When Mingxin entered Daya's room, her face was smeared with black ash, and the sky was dark. Daya paid attention for half a month, but she couldn't find anyone similar to the person in her memory.
But the way Mingxin held the saber and smiled showing her white teeth completely matched Da Ya's memory of that night.
What a hot man, he smiled like this after killing the Japanese.
Very happy!
