The weather started to clear up, and the commendation meeting for the great victory in the field was held as scheduled. As soon as it dawned, the brothers responsible for setting up the venue and participating in the review became busy.
The combat heroes who will be commended at the commendation meeting all dressed up early in the morning. They put on brand-new military uniforms and their suede cowhide shoes were polished spotlessly.
Snipers Zhang Hai and Wu Hao of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade were also commended this time. During the battle at Jieshou, the sniper team formed by the two of them killed more than 30 Japanese soldiers, becoming a rising star.
A rookie.
Many snipers are trained with bullets, so Yang Ling specially approves ammunition for these outstanding shooters to practice shooting, and at the same time allows them to withstand the temper of actual combat.
The Lieyan Special Forces Brigade suffered heavy losses in the battle of Gaoyou, and only eighteen members could still maintain combat effectiveness. Therefore, in the battle at Jieshou, in addition to the two sniper groups who were ordered to participate in the battle, the other brothers were secretly
Special training to enhance strength.
"Tie your armed belt tight, don't let it get loose. We can't make any mistakes today."
Wei Qing, the captain of the special operations brigade, looked at the two brothers who were about to receive commendations and felt very happy. After all, he was giving them the honor of being the captain of the special operations brigade.
Although Zhang Hai and Wu Hao were both ruthless kings of hell who killed people on the battlefield without blinking an eye, it was the first time they had to accept commendations in front of everyone, and they were excited but nervous at the same time.
"Captain, otherwise, I'd better not go..."
Rather than receiving commendations in public, sniper Wu Hao still prefers to be an audience hidden in the dark.
"What? Are you scared?" Looking at the two slightly nervous brothers, Wei Qing, the captain of the special operations brigade, clenched his fist and punched their chests twice.
"That's not the case. It's just that my calves are a bit unruly."
Zhang Hai was also twisting his body awkwardly, feeling a little uncomfortable in being fully dressed. They usually liked to lie down in the fields wearing camouflaged sacks.
"You two don't know what is good and what is bad. We have thousands of brothers in the Jiangsu North Corps. Only ten brothers are being commended this time. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we had passed this village, we wouldn't have this store."
Wei Qing, on the other hand, lectured him angrily with a straight face.
"You are not only representing yourselves now, you are also representing our Flame Special Warfare Brigade. When the time comes, go up and straighten your back for me. If you embarrass me, see how I deal with you two boys when I come back!"
After hearing Wei Qing's words, Zhang Hai and Wu Hao both looked at each other with bitterness in their mouths. They knew that no matter what, they had to bite the bullet today.
Although the establishment of the Flame Special Warfare Brigade is at the battalion level, the number of people at its highest is only a few dozen. Only two people received the commendation this time, which can be said to have stolen the limelight.
Other reinforcement battalions with as many as **100 people also received commendation quotas for only two people. It can be said that this is also the importance Yang Ling attaches to them.
Therefore, Wei Qing, the captain of the special operations brigade, was also very happy. Others had not had the opportunity to show their faces like this, so he rushed over early in the morning to help these two brothers tidy up.
While these combat heroes who were about to receive commendations in public were preparing with excitement and nervousness, the brothers responsible for maintaining on-site security and order were also under great pressure.
The person responsible for the security of this commendation meeting was Second Battalion Commander Wu Changqing. Because there were many people nearby who came to watch the commendation meeting, in addition to the two infantry companies participating in the review, the whole battalion also had two other infantry companies, a machine gun company and
A company of secret agents must be deployed around the venue.
Brothers from six companies gathered in the camp early in the morning, all armed with guns and ammunition.
"Everyone stand at attention!"
"brush!"
Following the duty officer's cold shout, the neatly assembled officers and soldiers stood upright and looked straight ahead.
"Brothers, I won't go into details about how important today's commendation meeting is. In addition to representatives of allied armies, journalist friends, country gentry representatives and nearly 10,000 people, General Zhou Fu, Director of the Theater Political Department, will also come to watch the ceremony and maintain order.
The security and security work will be undertaken by our second battalion, so there can’t be any problems!”
Although the brothers already knew that a general would come to watch the ceremony, when the battalion commander Wu Changqing said it, the brothers still felt heavy pressure. If something happened, they could not afford it.
"Among the people watching the ceremony, there are very likely to be traitors and spies. Therefore, when entering the venue for interrogation, you must keep an eye open. Except for the guests attending the ceremony, no weapons, including daggers, are allowed.
Bring it in, do you understand?!"
"clear!"
The brothers answered neatly and loudly, and their attention level increased a bit.
"Brothers from the Secret Service Company, you dress up as common people and mingle among the people watching the ceremony. You are the last line of defense. Once you find someone suspicious, arrest them first. I would rather arrest a thousand by mistake than miss one!"
"yes!"
More than 160 brothers from the special agent company did not wear military uniforms today. Instead, they all dressed up as ordinary people. They were responsible for surveillance in the dark.
"Yesterday you met with the brothers from the Intelligence Division's Anti-Corruption Team. I hope you will work together to nip all dangers in the cradle."
This commendation meeting is also a publicity meeting. It not only promotes the victory of Jieshou, but also showcases the Northern Jiangsu Corps.
Showing strength to the outside world can not only achieve the effect of intimidating the small army, but also enhance the cohesion and sense of honor of the brothers to a certain extent, and improve the morale of the troops.
"Let's go now!"
When Wu Changqing laid out the tasks of each company, with a wave of his hand, officers and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition filed out of the camp, headed towards the venue, and began to set up a cordon.
For this commendation meeting and publicity meeting, Yang Ling also paid special attention to it and made the meeting extra grand.
The rostrum of the entire venue had been set up a few days ago, and the red banners with big words "commending the team" were particularly conspicuous.
There were also colorful flags flying around the venue, and there were many banners. These banners from the military propaganda team were all focused on resisting the war and saving the nation.
"Fight to the end and fight to the death!"
"Drive out the Japanese invaders and restore our mountains and rivers!"
"One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand people and one hundred thousand troops!"
"United as one, protect our family and species, and save our nation from danger!"
...
Various inspiring banners and propaganda filled the entire venue with a strong patriotic atmosphere, allowing everyone in attendance to feel a heartfelt national call to resist war and save the nation.
Although the Chinese Communist Party fought bloody battles with the Japs on countless battlefields, with the sky darkening and the earth flowing like rivers of blood, many ordinary people did not know about it due to the poor propaganda provided by many propaganda agencies and backward communication methods.
Yang Ling directly invited journalist friends this time, just to expand his influence, show the true side of the Chinese Communist Party's resistance war in the occupied areas, tell the Chinese people that the Chinese Communist Party never stopped fighting, and tell the Japanese aggressors that the Chinese Communist Party
