"Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander, our 196th Brigade is going to be renamed the Tiger Brigade, do you hear it?" A tall and long second lieutenant with a heavy white cloth wrapped around his head and a cotton military uniform with several holes revealing the silky cotton wadding wailed,
On the other hand, he supported an old woman in her sixties and carried three sobbing children towards the mourning hall.
A lieutenant company commander who was responsible for guarding the mourning hall subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him, but when Liu Lang, who was lined up at the end of a group of generals and was about to step forward to award a medal, saw him, he became furious.
He stepped forward and kicked the lieutenant staggering. Liu Tuanzuo had to save at least nine points of his strength, otherwise he could have kicked this blind thing five or six meters away.
Liu Lang was cruel to the Japanese, but he was rarely cruel to his own countrymen. But at this moment, he was really angry.
He didn't recognize the second lieutenant Liu Lang who was in tattered clothes and still had a look of gunfire on his face, nor did he recognize the old woman in her sixties and three children who were no more than twelve years old. But that didn't stop him from knowing who they were.
Jiang Yuzhen and the 196th Brigade, who stayed on the plains for ten days and exchanged 5,000 for 70,000, are famous all over the world. Huang Hongyou, the spy platoon leader beside him who finally escaped by chance, was not well-known before, but because of Jiang Yuzhen's bravery at the last moment, he was once
remembered by time and space.
If he hadn't been alive, how would the Chinese people have known how cruel the Japanese invaders were to this brave Chinese general who resisted tenaciously even though his entire army was wiped out? After killing the seriously injured and dying general, they brutally cut off his head and went back to claim credit.
.All this fell into the eyes of Huang Hongyou, who was driven away by the seriously injured Jiang Yuzhen who was hiding in the sorghum field and couldn't bear to leave.
Yes, the recovered body of Major General Jiang Yuzhen in the coffin was incomplete and missing his head. Apart from a few high-ranking officials in the 2nd War Zone, only Liu Lang, a little butterfly from the future, knew this secret.
Since that second lieutenant is Huang Hongyou, then the old woman he is supporting, with tears rolling down her face but still holding her waist straight, is naturally none other than the mother of Major General Jiang Yuzhen.
The young child can only be his orphan.
His wife was not seen here. Liu Lang knew that it was because before the war, the wife of the Shandong man who was ordered to rush to the battlefield had just passed away.
Perhaps none of the people present were as sad as the 60-year-old woman. She lost her husband in middle age, lost her son in old age, and still had to raise three young grandchildren by herself. She had already experienced the second of the three major hardships in life.
Liu Lang's kick was naturally a bit overstepped. This is the territory of the Jinsui Army. Even if Liu Lang is a colonel and a world-famous anti-Japanese hero, he should not be in this mourning hall in front of the senior officials of the Jinsui Army.
, showing the majesty of his grand commander in front of the people of Shanxi.
When the officers of the Jinsui Army changed their expressions, Liu Lang cursed at the lieutenant's halberd: "Asshole, do you know who that is? Those are the mother and youngest son of Major General Jiang Yuzhen. They paid homage to themselves in front of the general's soul.
My son and father, who can stop me? Liu Lang dares to ask, who dares to stop me?"
The second lieutenant glanced at Liu Lang gratefully, and helped the old woman who was already a little numb to move forward. She was still ten meters away from the mourning hall. He threw himself down, touched his head to the ground, and burst into tears: "Brigadier, I, Huang Hongyou, brought the baby."
I count on you."
The three young children also fell to their knees on the ground. The youngest six-year-old could only follow his elder brother and cry: "Daddy!"
The lieutenant and company commander's face turned red and he said nothing. He saluted the second lieutenant whose rank was lower than his and stood at attention.
Seeing this scene, tens of thousands of people and most of the generals who didn't know the old woman finally understood why Liu Lang was so angry. Many people couldn't help but wipe away their tears. Even the medals had not been read out on the stage.
Wang Shihe, who was giving the briefing, was not easy to talk to Liu Lang, so he could only walk forward with a pleasant look and the old Shanxi man, supporting the old woman on the left and right, and said: "It turns out to be Mrs. Jiang, your Majesty. Please forgive me and accept the change."
At this time, no matter how dissatisfied the interruption of the award ceremony is, etiquette must be taken into consideration.
"Sirs, I'm not here to cause you any trouble. I just want to see my son. I just want to take my three grandchildren to see their father." Two lines of muddy tears overflowed from the eyes of the old woman.
Next, his face was very calm.
"Of course." The old Shanxi man was the governor of a province after all. He nodded vigorously and personally helped the old woman, who was more than ten years older than him, to Jiang Yuzhen's coffin.
Several lieutenant generals and officers were also very understanding and stepped forward one after another. One of them took a child who was still kneeling on the ground and took him to the front of the coffin to kneel down again. Even the second lieutenant was no exception.
The old woman who approached the coffin just gently touched her face to the cold coffin, and gently and tenderly rubbed her withered hands on the coffin, "Son! Mom, I'm here to see you."
Looking at this scene, Liu Lang couldn't bear it anymore and tears burst out of his eyes.
"The army at Xinkou is still fighting fiercely, and the rest of the officers and soldiers will be rewarded by the government after the war. The army in the east of Shanxi won a great victory a few days ago, wiping out more than 30,000 people from the enemy's 20th Division, and the people of the whole country were moved by it.

Ding Medal.
.......
Awarded to war correspondent Liu Xueyuan, the Special Yunhui Medal."
Although only a few generals came to Taiyuan to be awarded medals, the national government prepared a lot of medals for the Battle of Eastern Shanxi. Basically, medals were awarded to the officers and lieutenants reported by each army, including the 129th Division and the 17th Infantry Division.
Master, even though there are many suppressions on first-level medals such as the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, there is no scruple in awarding medals to lower-level officers, from Baoding to Yunhui to the Loyal and Brave Badge, as the leader's special envoy
, Wang Shihe recited it for more than 20 minutes before he finished it. Even Liu Xueyuan received the medal for the second time after the Battle of the Great Wall.
However, most of the generals present were fine people.
Especially the generals who participated in the Battle of Jindong, they all knew how much the Independent Regiment contributed in this battle. According to common sense, Liu Lang would get a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal no matter what, but when the Jindong Zhuge Liang
As soon as they read the list of those who were awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, they vaguely guessed the reason why Liu Lang, a young colonel, was excluded.
There were only six people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty War Zone who received it. The youngest was also a lieutenant general. Together with the four generals who died in the battle, there were only ten medals in total. I am afraid that Major General Wang, who arrived in Taiyuan three days ago, did not bring enough Blue Sky and White Sun medals.
If we want to reduce it, we can only do it from the head of a junior colonel like Liu Lang.
They were shrewd enough to guess the reason just from the number of medals. Including the unlucky old Comrade Li, originally, as one of the army lieutenant generals participating in the war, although he was not in charge of the specific command, he followed the frontline troops almost
After going through the whole war, the leader pinched his nose and gave him one, which was almost free of charge.
Who would have known that four generals were killed in the battle at Xinkou, so the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun that was picked up in vain could only be turned into a first-class treasure tripod.
However, the fact that Liu Lang received the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun is not the most important. People with a discerning eye will naturally know his merits. But the fact that Liu Lang, an army colonel, received the first-class Medal of Baoding is very arousing people's imagination.
You must know that the Baoding Medal, as the second highest medal after the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, is divided into nine levels. However, these nine levels do not mean that you will get the first level if you have outstanding military exploits. General officers can get one to four levels based on their military exploits.
Ranks of rank 3 to 6 for school officers, rank 4 to 7 for lieutenants, and ranks 6 to 9 for warrant officers and privates.
In other words, as a colonel, Liu Lang, even if he has great merits, may be awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, but he will never be awarded the first-class Baoding Medal. If it is the Baoding Medal, then according to the medal issuance regulations, the most he can get is
Third class.
This unconventional award of honors has an unusual meaning! Several people who are close to Liu Lang, such as Comrade Li and future generals who have been downgraded from the Order of the Blue Sky to the Order of the Baoding, are thoughtful.
The corner of his mouth curved into a smile.
It seems that it won't be long before that fat guy who is only 26 years old but extremely talented will become their equal.
However, they were not jealous, but more happy. They were all looking forward to how this young man, who had already shown his talent on the war stage, would show off in this battle to protect the country.
The higher his military rank, the more troops he can command, and the more he can make due contributions to the country and nation.
After the list of medals was read out, and the generals stood at attention one by one in front of the mourning hall, Wang Shihe and the Shanxi old man put the medals on the chests of the medals one by one. Because it was still wartime, except for the general with the lowest vote, he was also the recipient of the Baoding Medal.
The other school officers and lieutenants did not arrive at the scene, and the chief officers of the various ministries who were awarded the honors received the honors on their behalf.
It was both reasonable and unexpected that Colonel Liu Langliu, the lowest-ranking officer qualified to stand at the ceremony, was named by Wang Shihe to speak on behalf of all the decorated soldiers.
This is compensation, and more importantly, I want to promote this little fat guy as the leader!
All the old-minded generals looked at the young colonel standing in front of the microphone like a green pine with different thoughts.
Since he is young, he is naturally different from them.
Before Liu Lang could speak, his next move made most of the generals who were squinting their eyes suddenly widen their eyes.
