After the medal ceremony, presumably due to time constraints, the promotion order was not read out as usual, but everyone was informed that the awards group would go to each army to announce it.
The Independent Regiment was still ranked last. Qi Guangyuan and Dong Shengtang, who had returned to the 29th Army as promised after the medal ceremony, both called respectively. Song Zheyuan did not make empty promises. Both of them were promoted to major generals.
At the same time, he naturally became the brigade commander of the two main brigades of the 29th Army. Bai Yunyue was promoted to colonel and became the commander of the 288th Regiment. The other colonels and lieutenants who chose to return to the 29th Army also had their ranks raised.
There are appointments for each level. The thirteen lieutenants and second lieutenants who took the initiative to stay in the independent regiment were not left behind. They were all raised by one level. As for the appointment, it is naturally the chief officer Liu Lang who has the final say. Song Zheyuan has already taken it.
A transfer order bearing the seal of the Northern Military Council.
The person who came to the Independent Regiment to read out the promotion order was none other than Wang Shihe, the aide-de-camp of the committee who came to confer the honor on behalf of the bald man. In the eyes of others, it was naturally an honor.
But Liu Lang always felt that there seemed to be a kind of helplessness on this major general's face.
Sure enough, except for Liu Lang, the commander of the independent regiment, all the members of the independent regiment had their military ranks raised by one level.
The second-class mutiny became a first-class private, and the first-class mutiny became a sergeant, and the sergeant was awarded the rank of warrant officer. The two lieutenant colonels, Chi Dakui and Tang Yongming, became colonels on par with Liu Lang in one fell swoop, while Ji Yanxue became only half a year shorter than Liu Lang.
A tall lieutenant colonel.
However, the officers of the Independent Regiment were not as happy as they should be. Shock and anger occupied almost all of their emotions.
The reason is very simple. The entire regiment has been promoted, but only Liu Lang, the chief officer, has not changed his rank. He is still just a colonel.
"What? Do you have any other opinions?" Wang Shihe closed the promotion order and asked coldly while looking at the agitated crowd in front of him.
"Sir, I have an opinion." Ji Yanxue couldn't hide the anger in her heart and strode forward.
"Tell me." Wang Shihe raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
"It's not fair. All our subordinates have been promoted, why are we alone..." Ji Yanxue didn't have time to finish.
"Lieutenant Colonel Ji, shut up. How can you question Shangguan's decision?" Liu Lang stepped forward and blocked Ji Yanxue's unfinished words.
"But..." Ji Yanxue's pretty face turned red.
"Nothing but." Liu Lang's tone was harsher than ever before, and he glanced at the others, led by Chi Dakui, who were about to make a move, "Now, I order to disband."
Everyone hesitated for a while.
"What? I've already been promoted, so it's hard for me, Liu Lang, to use my words?" Liu Lang's eyes widened.
Everyone immediately dispersed, and Chi Dakui even dragged Ji Yanxue away, who had a stubborn temper and wanted to complain on behalf of Liu Lang. Except for him, the eldest brother who had been through life and death together, no one else would have dared
Go and pull Lieutenant Colonel Ji, who is obviously a bit grumpy.
It wasn't until everyone had gone away that Wang Shihe waved to the escorts and guards around him to tell them to stay away. He smiled faintly at Liu Lang and said, "My military order has been completed and I should leave. I wonder if I can bother you."
Brother, give me a ride."
"Yes, sir." Liu Lang gave him a military salute in a manner that was neither humble nor overbearing.
Liu Lang was naturally unhappy because he was given a medal for such great achievements. Not being promoted naturally meant that he could not expand the army. Naturally, Liu Lang felt unhappy. What about the committee aide? Even if the bald boss came, he never planned to stay with the Kuomintang for a long time.
Liu Lang, who was a fool, would not give him the look he wanted. The reason why he could be so conciliatory and polite with military courtesy was because Wang Shihe's reputation in history was not bad.
But on such an occasion, Liu Lang's emotion of rejecting others from thousands of miles away was clearly written on his face.
However, Wang Shihe had obviously expected Liu Lang's behavior. If Liu Lang acted servilely because of his status as captain of the bodyguard, he really was not the person who could block the old man's ten telegraph orders to withdraw the troops.
At that moment, he smiled slightly and took the lead to move forward slowly. When he heard Liu Lang following him, he said softly: "Although you and I are only meeting each other for the second time, I know that Captain Liu is not a day or two. You were in Songhu last year.
You have accomplished amazing feats in the First World War. Shihe has carefully checked your information, Captain Liu. He is a young man from a wealthy country family with abundant wealth. Although he is not very knowledgeable, he has learned a lot about the Four Books and Five Classics and has never been to any school.
The military academy has never experienced any battle, but with extraordinary courage, he led 28 remnant soldiers to Huanglong and captured the headquarters of the Japanese regiment with one shot. This is really a military academy student like Shihe who was personally taught by the principal.
Ashamed, Shihe has thought about it again and again. If he were to change places, Shihe would never be so courageous, and he would be far worse than my brother."
"Sir Wang is serious. Anyone in that situation can only choose to gamble on luck. Liu Lang just had better luck and won the bet." Liu Lang shook his head and said in a very calm tone.
"Haha, Captain Liu doesn't need to be humble. If it can be said that it was a fluke to take down the Japanese army headquarters with one shot, then with twenty-eight men, eighteen rifles and one Taisho ten-year machine gun, he blocked nearly a hundred Japanese troops.
Crazy attack and killing nearly 30 Japanese soldiers in hand-to-hand combat, there was no so-called luck. Shihe believed it at that time, the so-called born to know, so it was like that at that time!" Wang Shihe laughed dumbly.
, turned around and looked at Liu Lang seriously, "I don't know whether Commander Liu believes it or not. After the Great Wall Battle, in Shihe's heart, you Commander Liu is actually the most brilliant general among our tens of thousands of national army generals.
star."
"Can I say that the sir is trying to harm me with such ridiculous praise?" Liu Lang blinked and said suddenly.
Wang Shihe was slightly stunned, obviously not understanding what Liu Lang meant.
"Sir, do you want all the officers in Beiping City to collectively beat me?" Liu Lang had no choice but to explain to the "old" officer who lacked Internet thinking.
"Haha, they all say that Captain Liu is a rare and wonderful man. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation!" Wang Shihe laughed.
This guy was not very good at chatting, and he was chatting to death. Liu Lang, who was already feeling unhappy, simply stopped talking and waited for Captain Wang to tell the real story.
When Wang Shihe saw Liu Lang's appearance, he gradually stopped laughing, and a wry smile broke out on his face, saying: "I am here to host the award ceremony this time. I'm afraid Liu doesn't know why Shihe took the initiative to come here.
Just for Brother Liu."
These words were a bit serious, and there seemed to be an off-screen voice. Liu Lang's expression moved slightly.
"Hey, Chairman Liu of Sichuan Province and Mr. Wang have a certain affection for each other. The most important thing is that Brother Liu has made a shocking achievement this time. I want to see with my own eyes what kind of young hero he is." Wang Shihe
chuckled.
Liu Lang understood instantly.
Nepotism is everywhere. As for young heroes, well, it's okay to fool ordinary people. The 40 million Chinese people never lack heroes.
What Captain Wang clearly means is that if we have something to do with each other, please don’t embarrass us.
