Withdrawing his gaze, Wang Shihe continued to read: "In this war in the north, although our country failed to do its best to defend the enemy from outside the country, the Japanese invaders also suffered heavy losses due to the efforts of all the kings and signed a peace treaty. This merit should be considered
To all the officers and men in the north. Zhongzheng Benyu came to personally congratulate you on your awarding of honors. However, the battle to suppress the bandits at the front was very urgent, so I specially appointed the bodyguard Chang Shihe to replace me to congratulate the officers and men in the north, and allowed the generals in the front to wear great ceremonial uniforms.
....."
At this point, Wang Shihe paused for a moment, and there was thunderous applause from both the stage and the audience.
There should be applause here, everyone knows it.
Clearing his throat, Wang Shihe continued in a deep voice: "By order of the Chairman..."
The whole place was in solemn silence.
Here comes the real drama.
"Awarded to Huang Jie, commander of the Second Division of the Central Army, the Third Class Medal of Baoding, and awarded to the Second Division of the Central Army..."
Every time Wang Shihe read a name, from Lieutenant General to Lieutenant Colonel, they all stood on the stage in a dignified manner, and then waited amidst the exciting music to be personally hung up with the medals awarded by the big guys headed by General He.
Except for the three divisions of the Central Army, which are based on divisions, the rest are based on corps. Except for the officers of all sizes above the lieutenant colonel, they each received their own medals. The soldiers who fought bravely in this battle also received their own medals.
Award.
As medals continued to be awarded, everyone also saw some clues.
Obviously, the earlier the unit is mentioned, the lower the medal level and number of medals it will receive, that is, the less military merit it will achieve.
During this period, the Nationalist Government had formulated the "Regulations on Honors and Awards for the Navy, Army and Air Force", from which the first level was the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal; the second level was the Baoding Medal, the Yunhui Medal, the first-class ribbon, the fourth- and fifth-class collar ribbons, and the sixty-seventh-class medal.
The ribbons of equal rank are attached to the list of medals, and the eighth and ninth rank lapels are attached; the third rank is the Medal of Loyalty and Courage, and the Medal of Loyalty and Diligence, both with lapel ribbons.
First-class medals such as the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal have only been awarded to sixteen people before, including Zhang Zhizhong, who fought a draw with the Japanese army in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War a year ago, and killed a Japanese soldier at the Seventh Regiment Headquarters with one shot.
Liu Lang, who was a major general and a colonel, also had a medal of the highest level, the Blue Sky and White Sun, at that time, so he didn't care too much about this kind of medal that could not be exchanged for food or drink.
But just because Liu Lang doesn't care, it doesn't mean that others don't care.
For example, the lieutenant generals and division commanders of the three divisions of the Central Army who were first awarded medals had medals on their chests, but their faces were dark.
The bald man was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the battle between the three divisions of the Central Army at Gubeikou. Therefore, starting from the direct lineage of the 2nd Division, only Huang Jie among the three lieutenant general-level division commanders received the third-class Baoding Medal.
The other two division commanders both received the fourth level, which is the lowest level of the Baoding Medal that can be obtained by general officers. If the leader is so miserable, then naturally, not to mention their subordinates, there are very few who can win the Baoding Medal.
Few, most of them are Medal of Loyalty and Valor and Medal of Loyalty and Diligence.
Relatively speaking, the eighth- and ninth-class Baoding medals received by soldiers are somewhat more valuable than the lowest-level medals received by their officers at all levels.
Regarding this result, most of the officers belonging to the Northeast Army in the audience said nothing, but the expressions on their faces still betrayed their inner joy. In the Battle of Gubeikou, the three well-equipped divisions of the Central Army turned out to be the first
It is already unpleasant for a retreating person to not punish their sins. If they are given credit for their actions, how can it be described as unpleasant?
However, it was rare that the bald man did not protect his calf. The sight of several third- and fourth-class Baoding medals hanging on the chests of several black-faced lieutenant generals made people feel slightly disgusted.
Like the 29th Army, which was announced second to last, not only did its commander Song Zheyuan win the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun, but his subordinate Zhao Dengyu, the major general of the 109th Brigade of the 37th Division who suffered two gunshot wounds and still fought bravely, also relied on his victory to annihilate the Japanese in the first battle.
The 1,500-strong army received a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal for their achievements. The remaining major general-level generals, even if they received the Baoding Medal or the Yunhui Medal, were mostly first- and second-class, and they completely killed three divisions of the Central Army in an instant.
The bald man was really good at playing tricks. Watching the excitement on and off the stage, Liu Lang not only had a deep understanding of the KMT leader's tricks once again.
This move he played was not very clever. It seemed fair to suppress his direct lineage and promote the armies in the Northeast. In fact, in terms of actual performance on the battlefield, the three divisions of the Central Army, which were trying to preserve their strength, did not win much.
Medal, a fear of the enemy is enough to make three lieutenant generals pack up and leave. But the bald man still calmed down the anger of the northern army with such a hand, and also stopped everyone from staring at the country under his leadership.
The "Tanggu Agreement" signed by the party in an almost humiliating manner.
I've given you such an awesome medal, so you guys should just do what you're supposed to do and don't make any trouble. The bald guy did some tricks on the medal, so Liu Lang probably got the medal.
The big guys were embarrassed and kept shouting about going back to the north of the Great Wall every day.
The Chairman of the Generalissimo has no intention of fighting against the powerful Japanese. His two old rivals are leading soldiers to resist him in Jiangxi! What makes the bald man angry is that he has hundreds of thousands of
The army is actually unable to do anything to them now.
Except for the three regiment officers sitting in the center of the stage, all the other troops have been awarded medals. Even several people from all walks of life in Peking have received the Medal of Qiancheng. It is a medal that can be awarded to non-military personnel. If you try your best,
Anyone who has made contributions to the military, or donated military equipment and items, or whose inventions or improvements are beneficial to the military, can receive this medal.
Liu Lang's future father-in-law, Ji Lianrong, was awarded this medal together with three other big businessmen in Peking because he was particularly active in donating money and materials. The middle-aged man standing on the rostrum was very happy. Liu Lang was standing more than ten meters away.
You can even see his back molars.
Liu Lang couldn't help but feel a little pain in his balls. He pouted and put his mouth to Ji Yanxue, who had been sitting upright, and whispered in his ear: "Look at your father's excitement. If I hang my Blue Sky and White Sun Medal on my chest, will he accept it?"
Just say goodbye?"
Ji Yanxue, whose face turned red when the warm breath from Liu Lang's mouth sprayed on her earlobes, was almost shocked to death by this guy. If there weren't too many people here, Major Ji would definitely have gone up to him with one move of Nine Yin White Bone Claws.
Open this guy's head and see what's in his head.
You hang up a "broken" medal and you just want my dad to come and pay homage to you? If he really pays homage to me, do you dare to accept it? Do you think I am nothing?
Looking at Ji Yanxue's beautiful eyes that were about to burst into flames, Liu Lang quickly shut his mouth. Only then did he remember that he would be visiting Boss Ji with gifts in a few days.
Money, and a beautiful girl!
However, this Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun cannot be worn on the chest to show off. If Boss Ji really does that, then his most likely reaction can only be to kneel down, both psychologically and physically.
There was probably no one who dared to ask his future father-in-law to pay homage to him, except himself, this weird commander. Chi Dakui, who was sitting equally straight, could not help but feel the muscles in his face twitching.
It wasn't until the beautiful reporter Liu Xueyuan received a medal of Kangcheng and walked off the stage that Wang Shihe took out another piece of paper from his breast pocket and walked to the microphone.
The breathing of the officers of all three regiments could not help but become heavier.
The audience also became much quieter, and the huge team of 470 people was surrounded by envious eyes.
Needless to say, the moment of glory for the three regiments belonging to the Independent Regiment, the 288th Regiment, and the 289th Regiment has come.
