At nine o'clock in the morning, the commendation meeting officially began. Yang Ling, as the captain of North Jiangsu, took the lead in taking a few steps forward and walked to the center of the podium.
At this moment, the number of soldiers and civilians surrounding the entire venue has reached more than 10,000. Looking around, there are flags flying and a sea of people.
"Everyone be quiet——"
Yang Ling raised the tin trumpet and pressed down with his left hand, signaling the humming crowd to quiet down.
Although the people behind could not hear clearly what Yang Ling said due to the noisy chatter, the podium was high enough for them to see Yang Ling's gestures clearly.
Soon, the venue, where tens of thousands of people gathered, became silent, with only the flags fluttering in the cold wind.
"Today is the commendation meeting of our Northern Jiangsu Corps. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, I would like to express my gratitude to Commander Zhou, Director of the Theater Political Department, representatives of all friendly forces, and all the folks who came to watch the ceremony. You are welcome to come.
"
Yang Ling's voice was loud and high-pitched, with full penetrating power. Through the effect of the iron speaker, it spread far away, and even the security officers and soldiers standing on guard at the edge could hear it clearly.
As soon as Yang Ling finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue. The allied military representatives sitting on one side watching the ceremony were shocked. They did not expect that the Jiangsu North Corps would be so popular among the people.
Although these troops also fought against Japanese invaders in occupied areas, the relationship between the army and the people was very bad due to official status and loose military discipline.
Now compared with the Northern Jiangsu Corps, they immediately felt a little ashamed of themselves, and the director of the Political Department, General Zhou Fu, showed a slightly thoughtful expression.
"Today is the day when our Northern Jiangsu Corps celebrates the victory of Jieshou. Director Zhou of the Political Department also spared no effort to come to our venue. Everyone first welcomes Director Zhou to say a few words to everyone." Yang Ling said, taking a step back and giving up his position.
came out.
Many of the people who came here didn't know who the officer was sitting there. When Yang Ling said it at this moment, he was all surprised.
In the eyes of these common people, senior generals like General Zhou Fu, Director of the Political Department, were staying in safe areas. When they appeared on the Jieshou front line, they immediately burst into loud cheers.
Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, also stood up from his chair, took the tin speaker from Yang Ling's hand and walked to the front desk.
"Since Captain Yang asked me to say a few words, I will just say a few words to you as you please." Director Zhou's voice was slightly low, but full of majesty.
"First of all, on behalf of the theater headquarters, I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to all the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and congratulate you on your great victory!"
As soon as Director Zhou finished speaking, the venue erupted into another round of thunderous applause, because this was regarded as recognition of Jieshou's great victory.
"The officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps were not afraid of powerful enemies and fought bravely. They showed the blood and spirit of our ** members! The officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu corps can serve as role models for all the officers and soldiers of our Sulu theater!
"
As soon as Director Zhou said these words, every officer and soldier of the North Jiangsu Corps present was full of excitement and breathed rapidly. This sudden compliment made them straighten their bodies involuntarily, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.
.
The representatives from the various armies and the provincial government on the viewing platform were also slightly stunned. Doesn't this raise the status of the North Jiangsu Corps too high?
"You fought well in the first battle at Jieshou, and you finally gave us a bad breath. However, the Japanese invaders were ferocious, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the people were displaced. I hope you will continue your efforts, carry forward your heroic and tenacious fighting style, polish your weapons, and raise your bayonets.
Fight the enemy bravely, drive the little devil into the sea, and rebuild the broken mountains and rivers!"
After Director Zhou of the Political Department finished speaking, he suddenly knocked his heels together and stood up to salute the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps waiting for review on one side of the square.
"Kill the enemy bravely! Protect your home and country!"
When Yang Ling saw Director Zhou saluting, he suddenly shouted loudly.
"Kill the enemy bravely! Protect your home and country!"
The brothers who were assembled and on standby roared one after another, with a roar that shook the sky.
After waiting for Director Zhou to leave, Yang Ling didn't waste any more words. He held up the tin trumpet and said loudly: "Now we invite Deputy Battalion Commander Luo Feng, our first combat hero in the Jieshou battle, to come on stage."
After hearing Yang Ling's words, Deputy Battalion Commander Luo Feng, who had been standing in the audience, took a deep breath and strode towards the rostrum.
As the deputy battalion commander of the third battalion, Luo Feng not only commanded Ruoding in the initial blockade, but also carried a ghost-headed sword in the hand-to-hand combat that followed, killing the Japanese until their blood flowed into rivers, directly under his sword.
Fifteen of the Japanese were killed, and they were extremely ferocious.
The military uniform Luo Feng was wearing at the moment was sewn and re-dyed from the captured puppet army uniforms. Underneath the neat military uniform was a tall and strong physique, with a firm and vigorous pace, and his scarred face made him look fierce.
Luo Feng walked up to Yang Ling and stood up to salute, then turned around and saluted the crowd of civilians in the venue. The soldier's fierce and iron-blooded style was undoubtedly revealed. Although he did not speak, he gave people a strong sense of oppression.
Looking at Luo Feng, who was standing on the rostrum with piercing eyes, no one dared to look at him, and there were constant sounds of surprise in the crowd.
"Major Deputy Battalion Commander Luo Feng killed fifteen enemy bandits in the first battle at Jieshou, injuring numerous others. In recognition of his bravery, he was specially awarded the title of "Combat Hero" and was rewarded with a reward of 500 yuan and a special military thorn. I hope he will continue his efforts.
, kill the enemy with all your strength to repay the country's favor..."
Yang Ling said as he took the tray from the guard next to him. On it was a special three-edged military thorn engraved with the battle hero Luo Feng, a certificate of merit and Ocean 500, cashing it on the spot.
"Thank you, sir!"
Luo Feng did not grab Dayang and the certificate of merit, but instead grabbed the three-edged military thorn specially made by the repair shop, rubbed it fondly, and then stood up and saluted again.
"China will win!" Luo Feng raised the gleaming triangular spur in his hand and roared loudly, full of wildness.
"We must win! We must win!"
Seeing such a powerful man holding the military thorn high, the people and officers and soldiers in the audience were all excited. They raised their arms and shouted. For a moment, the sound of mountains and tsunamis resounded through the sky, and the conference entered a small climax.
"Now we invite our sniper combat heroes Zhang Hai and Wu Hao!" After Luo Feng retreated, Yang Ling turned his eyes to the audience again.
Two figures carrying 97-modified sniper rifles quickly jumped into people's sight. Zhang Hai and Wu Hao stepped onto the rostrum in excitement. Facing the gazes of tens of thousands of pairs, their bodies seemed
Somewhat stiff.
They stood up and saluted in front of Yang Ling almost mechanically, and then turned around and saluted the common people. Their bodies stood like benchmarks. Although they were not as murderous as Luo Feng, they won the hearts of many girls because of their heroic prowess.
"Sniper combat hero Zhang Hai and Wu Hao's sniper team killed thirty-five Japanese in the Jieshou battle and wounded countless others..."
Hearing Yang Ling's announcement, the people below took a breath. They did not expect that two young people who looked a little shy could be so powerful. Even the director of the Political Department, General Zhou Fu, looked at them with admiration.
