PS: Due to the recent appearance of the Harmony Beast, to avoid sealing the book, the protagonist has not been promoted recently.
The Japanese military boots made a loud noise on the ground. Although Yang Ling and the others were only nine people in ragged clothes, the momentum was like a thousand troops shaking their hearts and souls. The thousands of soldiers and civilians who greeted them were almost breathless under the pressure of this strong killing atmosphere.
When I got angry, the scene was silent.
Lao Yanqiang tried his best to straighten his rickety body and strode forward with his head held high. Facing the admiring and envious gazes of thousands of soldiers and civilians around him, his little vanity was greatly satisfied, and he was overwhelmed with pride. Damn it,
I am also a hero.
Liu Yidao and other brothers who had previously broken out of the encirclement were also crowded among the crowd. Looking at the nine people marching forward with their heads held high, the excitement on their faces was beyond words.
General Liu Xing, commander of the Jiang Defense Group Army, Lieutenant General Xu Kang, commander of Jiangyin Fortress, deputy commander Zeng Yidian, and Lieutenant General Ouyang Ge, principal of Dianlei School, looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction.
"Stand still!" Yang Ling's voice was loud and penetrating, and he stopped two meters away from Liu Xing and others.
Yang Ling's military uniform was torn and stained with blood, but his upright body and resolute expression added some unique charm to the tattered military uniform.
At this moment, Yang Ling was like a sword with sharp edges. Even though it was wrapped in a tattered scabbard, it was still difficult to hide its stunning light.
Yang Ling slapped his feet together, his heels clicking together crisply, and facing the standing generals, he raised his hands and saluted in a standard military salute.
This is the first time Yang Ling has met so many senior generals face to face. Although he has met division commander-level officers before, these generals who have been in high positions all year round are different. Although they stand there so casually, they are invisible.
It exudes a powerful aura that makes people lose their heads.
Although Lao Yanqiang and others were all experienced in the battlefield, they were enveloped by the invisible aura of the generals. Although they stood upright, their movements were a little stiff, and their hearts were beating wildly.
Feeling uneasy.
Yang Ling has been struggling on the line of life and death all year round. He can be considered a person who has seen the world. He has long cultivated a calm temperament that does not change his face even when the mountain is overwhelming. When facing many generals, he is calm and unfazed.
When Yang Ling was sizing up Liu Xing, Liu Xing and others were also sizing up Yang Ling. His standard stance put them to shame. Even the military cadets at Huangpu could not compare with him. But what shocked them even more was Yang Ling's posture.
His age is actually beyond imagination.
Liu Xing and the others knew the inside story of how the supplementary regiment was able to fight bloody battles to break through, and they also knew that most of their achievements were planned by the young man in front of them.
They wouldn't be surprised if Yang Ling was born in a military academy such as Huangpu, but as far as they know, Yang Ling has no background in military academy at all, and he worked his way up from the grassroots with real swords and guns.
Yang Ling was like a mystery at this moment, making Liu Xing and others full of curiosity and eager to solve the mystery.
Yang Ling saluted Liu Xing and others, and Liu Xing and others also returned the salute for the first time. For senior generals like them, this is something that does not happen often.
Liu Xing stepped forward and shook hands with Yang Ling, sizing up this young officer whose eyes revealed sharpness and confidence: "Captain Yang, you fought bloody battles all the way, annihilating many enemies, and demonstrated the bloodiness and military might of our Chinese soldiers.
You have brought shame on my Chinese soldiers. Now that you have returned with honors, I should take credit for you."
Liu Xing was wearing the Nizi military uniform of a senior general, but his body was shriveled and thin. The tremendous pressure he had endured these days made him look haggard.
Yang Ling answered modestly: "Killing the enemy and serving the country is the duty and duty of a Chinese soldier. I don't dare to be arrogant and ask for credit. I just fought bloody battles all the way. There were many casualties among my brothers. I have humbled my position and asked my brothers to fight to the death for the country."
For their own sake, please take good care of their families.”
The commander of the fortress, Lieutenant General Xu Kang, said with a smile: "You don't need to worry about this. The dead and disabled officers and soldiers of our army have their own death and disability pensions. You only need to sign up on a list and someone will be responsible for doing it."
"Thank you sir!" Yang Ling saluted Xu Kang again to express his gratitude.
Xu Kang waved his hand and changed the subject: "I heard that you blew up the enemy's arsenal and killed a general?"
After hearing Xu Kang's words, everyone turned their attention to Yang Ling, waiting for his answer.
"Indeed." Yang Ling nodded and admitted the fact, which made the generals excited. Hearsay and Yang Ling's personal admission were two different things. Now that it was confirmed, they couldn't wait to confirm.
Yang Ling naturally understood what Liu Xing and others were thinking. It was a lie to welcome them, and he wanted to confirm that the news of killing the Japanese Lieutenant General was true.
"Bring the things up." Yang Ling waved to the old smoker behind him.
Lao Yanqiang hurriedly took off the package that had been tied to his body and Lieutenant General Kawadahara's sword hanging on his waist and presented it to Liu Xing and others.
The lieutenant general's uniform pulled off from the Japanese general Kawadahara was inlaid with two stars. The saber was also high-end. There was a small flag showing "Kawadahara" in the pocket of the uniform. Seeing this evidence, Liu Xing and others
His breathing became rapid. This was a Japanese general who was killed.
They repeatedly checked these simple seized objects for fear of missing something. After looking at them excitedly for a long time, they raised their heads with smiles on their faces.
"Captain Yang, it is the highest honor of a soldier to kill a general and capture the flag. Now that you have killed the enemy lieutenant general, you have brought glory to our army and inspired the people of the country. It is indeed a great achievement. I will ask the Military Commission and the leaders to take credit for you."
When Lao Yanqiang and others heard Liu Xing's personal promise, their hearts beat faster and their faces showed excitement.
"But now is an extraordinary period. The enemy's offensive is fierce. Killing the enemy's lieutenant general is a big deal. The Military Commission will definitely verify it again and again. I'm afraid this award may not be awarded for a while." Liu Xing told Yang Ling and the others the truth.
"Sir, the reason why we fight and kill enemies is not to get promoted and get rich, but to take revenge!" Qin Shou gritted his teeth and spoke.
"You can't say that. Not giving rewards for meritorious service will chill the hearts of the brothers. Although the rewards from the Military Commission are temporarily unavailable, our Jiang Defense Group Army Headquarters will reward you with 10,000 yuan for the time being. Battalion Commander Yang will still serve as the acting battalion commander.
, according to the treatment of the lieutenant colonel leader, the treatment of the remaining officers and soldiers will be raised by one level first, and then rewards will be given based on merit separately after receiving the commendation from the Military Commission."
"Thank you, sir!" Yang Ling thanked Liu Xing.
"You don't need to thank me. You paid for all this with your lives. You deserve it." Liu Xing's tone was still gentle: "But now the enemy's offensive is very fierce, and we, Jiangyin, are also in danger. Logically speaking, you should be allowed to retreat to the rear to rest.
, but now my troops are really stretched thin, I wonder if you would be willing to stay and help me?"
Although Liu Xing's tone was to discuss matters, he could not be refused. Thinking that no matter where he was, he was fighting against Japanese invaders, Yang Ling agreed wholeheartedly.
Seeing that Yang Ling agreed to stay, Liu Xing was also happy. Having such an anti-Japanese hero staying in Jiangyin was equivalent to giving the defenders a shot in the arm and boosting their morale.
However, considering that Yang Ling and the others only had a few people left, he was not prepared to send them to the front line.
"There are still a lot of police and skirmishers in the city. Gather as many as you can. I will give you a battalion that belongs directly to my headquarters and will not go to the front. Help me maintain order in the city and prevent traitors and spies from doing anything.
Destruction, do you think this is good?"
The reason why Liu Xing wanted Yang Ling to stay was that he valued Yang Ling's ability and hoped that this talent would be used by him. Second, he hoped that his staying would improve the morale of the army. After all, Yang Ling's killing of the enemy had spread and he became a hero in the hearts of the soldiers.
