Chapter 1286: Give merit (3)
"The ceremony is over!"
Liu Lang put down his arm and faced tens of thousands of soldiers again. The metallic sound spread throughout the audience through the speaker.
"We pay tribute to the heroes and martyrs, not only to their spirit of never surrendering to the enemy, but also to ourselves. Because, perhaps one day, we will also be them, like them, lying in the cold tomb, surrounded by darkness, no longer seeing parents, wives and children, and no longer feeling the warmth of our comrades around us." Liu Lang's face was like steel cast iron, and he suddenly roared: "But brothers, comrades, tell me, even if you know this will happen, when the blade of the Black Hawk Empire Army pointed at the mountains, rivers and land of our kingdom and the innocent people of our kingdom, are you afraid? Are you still afraid of coldness and darkness?"
"Not afraid, we are not afraid!"
Following Liu Lang's question, tens of thousands of soldiers below collectively waved their arms and shouted their answers loudly.
What does the roaring sound of tens of thousands of people look like? The mountains and thunders, making the military flags rush, the rocks roll down, and the sentries hundreds of meters away are tinnitus, the blood is shaking all over their bodies.
But the soldiers who caused huge sound waves were so anxious that they could make people mistakenly think that they could rush the mountain, but turned a deaf ear to each other. Everyone blushed and tried their best to make their biggest sound, telling the officers on the stage that they were not afraid.
Including the newly joined northern officers and soldiers and new recruits, they have long been moved by the deeds of the Fifth Company. At this moment, their blood is definitely boiling, the kind of 100 degrees Celsius.
Commander Tie and Lieutenant General Huang looked at each other quietly, and each of them burst into horror. He appreciated the fat colonel who was straight ahead like a green pine. This person is not only able to fight, but also doing ideological work. Not only can he be a good person, but he can not only be able to speak of his literary and military skills, but his grasp of people's hearts is terrifyingly accurate.
It can be said that from the beginning, tens of thousands of troops were basically following the rhythm of Commander Liu. From narrating the deeds of the Fifth Company and then to saluting, tens of thousands of soldiers were included in his rhythm step by step, especially the last sentence: You are also paying tribute to yourself, because, perhaps one day we will become them. We will completely ignite everyone's blood.
Blood is burning, and there are still tens of thousands of people who rush to tsunami as a combustion aid. Perhaps they will hesitate when they really face life and death in the future, but the two lieutenant generals of the army understand that if the Black Hawk Empire people attack at this moment, more than 90% of them will definitely be determined. Even if they face the sharp blade of the Black Hawk Empire army, they will not be afraid at all, but will raise their chests high, even if they will die in the next moment.
Because death is not so terrible, but glory is the ultimate glory.
Liu Lang was able to raise the morale of tens of thousands of troops, whether veterans or new recruits, to the peak, not because of his great eloquence, but because he successfully set an example.
An army with souls cannot lack role models, nor does it lack role models.
"Very good, I am very satisfied with your answer." Liu Lang's face was filled with a smile: "It is precisely because of the blood and sacrifices of heroes and martyrs, as well as you and our heroic killing enemies present, that I have this opportunity to stand here and award you military medals to you."
"The whole army stood at attention." Liu Lang stood at attention. With a "swish!" sound from the audience, more than 40,000 people stood attentively.
After having a tweeter to transmit the sound, the military posture was much neater than before.
"The 12th Division of the 18th Army of the Kingdom Army, the 17th Division of the 38th Army, and the 22nd Army Independent Regiment of the Three Armies shall be issued here to award first-class military merits, second-class military merits, and third-class military merit medals and rewards for the three armies in the eastern battle of Lingpizhou." Liu Lang said loudly. "After the joint command of the three armies decided that military merits were divided into two types, namely collective and individual.
Those who are collectively first-class meritorious, one flag of the hero unit shall be awarded. If the squad, they shall be collectively called the hero squad according to their combat location. If the squad is collectively called the hero company. If the squad is collectively called the hero company, they shall be called the hero squad, with a bonus of 10,000 silver coins; those who are collectively second-class meritorious, one second-class merit pennant, with a bonus of 5,000 silver coins; those who are collectively third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one third-class meritorious, one second-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious, one silver-class meritorious,
The military medal was provided by the Independent Regiment, but the certificate was provided by the command center. What the bosses didn't understand was that Colonel Liu stubbornly insisted that the two military chief officers, Commander Iron and Lieutenant General Huang, had to sign the certificate with the signature of General Wu, but not add his own.
However, while General Wu was a little surprised, his impression of Commander Liu became more and more good. In his opinion, this was the opportunity for Liu Lang to give him a side by side with two lieutenant generals in the army, and did not weaken his role as a political commander.
Liu Lang even decided long ago that the military medals could be kept by themselves, but the certificates must be submitted uniformly and transported back to Andong City by the Logistics Department to each of their families.
His soldiers could not shed blood, but still shed tears.
The military merit reward method is not known to the lieutenant general, major general, who are qualified to attend the joint command meeting, as well as the only colonel Wu and Liu Lang, who are the only colonel, but the other first-level officials below the regiment are not aware of it.
After hearing Liu Lang's announcement, let alone the soldiers' eyes were a little red, even the eyes of the regiment-level officials became hot.
It’s not that they don’t value individual military merits, but for officials of a certain level, their attraction is far less important than collective military merits. Whether it is a military flag, a banner or a certificate, it is recognized by the troops under their command, and they can be left to show the proof of educating the new recruits.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Especially the title of the hero group, the hero camp, is too attractive to these chief officials. Moreover, they know that each division may be one of these titles, and they can’t call the Hero Group One Hero Group Two!
For grassroots officers and soldiers, their personal military merits are naturally more attractive to them. In addition to the military merits made with gold and silver, there are actually bonuses. If you have a second-class merit, plus the average allowance for 100 per person to participate in the war announced at the celebration banquet last night, that would be a lot. For the 17th Division, it is almost equivalent to two years of military pay, while for the 12th Division, it is solid...it is not calculated.
For most of the priest warriors who came from peasants who also learned to recognize words while training and fighting, arithmetic is an extremely difficult subject.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment were a little calmer. After all, their military pay was more than the Central Army, and they were paid on time and full-term. At the end of the year, there was an additional two months of military pay annuity. Even a first-class private could get about 200 silver coins a year, which was considered a small wealthy family in Qiu Tongzhou. Looking at big cities across the country, including Wubincheng, the capital of Haicheng, the annual income was not too bad. It was not a problem to support the whole family to eat meat every week.
Money is no longer what they need most. What they need is military merit.
After five years of development, the independent regiment is doing better and better in logistics and military support. Those with military meritorious service have basically remained the same as those of lieutenant-level officers in their children's education, family resettlement and housing treatment. As for those who can be the same as those of school-level officers, they can only be the winner of the "hero" military merit medal.
Until now, no living officer or soldier can have the first-class military merits of "hero". I wonder if this battle in Lingpizhou East will make an exception because of the severe annihilation of the Black Hawk Empire army.
The whole audience was extremely quiet for a moment. The only thing that could be heard was the breathing sound of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who were suppressing themselves and becoming a little heavy.
"First of all, I announced that the first-class military merit winners were awarded. The military chief who was pronounced his name came to the stage to receive the award." Liu Lang picked up the rolled military merit record form and opened it, and chanted loudly: "5th Company, 102nd Regiment of the 17th Division..."
The first one is that the entire Xuehuashan position was wiped out but did not take a step back. Finally, he asked the division's artillery battalion to cover the 5th company of the position. No one was surprised by this result. On the contrary, it would be surprising if they did not receive first-class merit.
The officers and soldiers of the 17th Division, who were familiar with the Fifth Company, turned their attention to the back of the lieutenant company commander standing in front of the newly established Fifth Company, which had regained 145 troops. However, most of the eyes were not envy, but more sympathy and unbearable.
The Fifth Company was rebuilt, and the Fifth Company also made first-class collective military achievements. However, those comrades who had eaten, sleep, laughed, cried, fought side by side were gone.
The lieutenant company commander who was just a big soldier half a month ago but has now been promoted to at least level 6 in one breath. How lonely he should be in his heart at this moment!
"Fifth Company, come." The Second Class Private Watermelon with tears on her face, no, it should be the Lieutenant Watermelon strode out of the queue and towards the rostrum.
"The 5th Infantry Company of the 102nd Regiment of the 17th Division of the Kingdom Army fought at the main peak of Xuehua Mountain. Faced with the three infantry squadrons of the Black Hawk Empire Army, they killed more than 200 Black Hawk Army at the cost of 144 people in battle, and held the position of the main peak of Xuehua Mountain for one day and night, and successfully completed the task issued by the division headquarters. Therefore, the Joint Command of the Three Armies ordered that the infantry company won the first-class collective merit and awarded the title of Xuehua Mountain Hero Company..."
With Liu Lang's introduction, the Iron Commander walked to the watermelon with his straight eyes standing red. Both sides saluted each other. The Iron Commander handed the neatly folded military flag and a stack of silver coins held by a captain company commander beside him to the watermelon.
At this point, the tears that the watermelon had been holding back slid down again and dripped onto the military flag in her hand.
Everyone can understand why he cried. What he held in his hand was supreme glory, but also heavy sadness. It was the life of his brother, an infantry company.
Hopefully, the 10,000 silver coins and the previous subsidies for the dead officers and soldiers can allow him to resettle the families of his comrades who died in battle!
"At the same time, Yang Wentian, the former lieutenant commander of the 5th Company, Zhang Dashan, the former lieutenant platoon commander of the 5th Company, Chen Fugui, the former sergeant of the 5th Company, Hou Er, Xiao Gua, the former sergeant of the 5th Company, Xigua, the former sergeant of the 5th Company... 6 people won the first-class individual merit, the former sergeant of the 5th Company... 14 people won the second-class individual merit, and the former sergeant of the 5th Company... 125 people won the third-class individual merit."
In an infantry company, six people won the first-class merit "Hero" military medal, 14 people won the second-class merit "Fearless" military medal, and the rest were awarded the third-class merit "Brave" military medal, and even the watermelon, who won the first-class military medal, was still alive. This may be normal in the eyes of the 17th Division or the 12th Division, but in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment, they were envious.
You should know that there are unwritten rules in the independent regiment that those who are not killed in battle cannot be awarded the "Hero" military medal. The special brigade fought hard in the north for one year, and more than 30 people died in battle, but only a few people won the "Hero" military medal, and they were all killed in battle. For example, Zhuang Er and others who killed more than a dozen Black Hawk Army lieutenants and even had generals, only had a "brave" bronze military medal. The gods who once fought against a cavalry brigade of Black Hawk Army with one shot and 300 people, only got the "Fearless" silver military medal.
