In the evening, the battle merits issued by the theater headquarters had been distributed by the Jiashan frontline headquarters.
Basically, every division and brigade got a share of this feast of military exploits.
The Ministry of Military Affairs rejected the Jiashan Frontline's proposal to promote Tang Dao, the first contributor, to the actual head of the regiment. However, in view of the contribution made by the two armies and one division of the Jiashan Frontline in this battle, or that they need to continue to persevere, other requirements
All satisfied.
Along with the request for credit for the Battle of Songjiang, they were all approved.
All officers and soldiers who died in Songjiang City will be promoted to one level of military rank according to the Songjiang Command's own decision. Officers and soldiers with outstanding military exploits will be promoted to one level of military rank. All officers and soldiers who participated in the Battle of Songjiang, including the Songjiang Security Group, will be rewarded.
The reward is twenty yuan, and the reward will be allocated by the Ministry of Military Affairs and will be distributed immediately after the army returns.
In the past, this was decided by the Songjiang Command itself. It was okay for the school officers and below, but the promotion of the school officers had to be approved by the Ministry of Military Affairs. This time, everything was solved. There is no need to raise the reward by yourself, which is hundreds of thousands.
Ocean!
In addition, the 67th Army, the 43rd Army and the 128th Division of the Hunan Army on the front line of Jiashan, all participating troops will be rewarded with ten yuan, and those who have made meritorious service will be promoted to one rank. All officers and soldiers of the 128th Division who participated in the night attack battle, regardless of life or death, will be rewarded.
From the regimental and battalion level to the officer level, all officers who are promoted to one level in military rank will be rewarded with a reward of ten yuan.
Of course, compared to this large-scale general award, the 'advance group' that has not yet returned to the various ministries and is being intensively repaired is the biggest winner of this feast.
All officers and soldiers of the advance regiment who died in battle, regardless of their rank, will be promoted to military rank by two levels. The pension certificate will be issued after the rank is promoted, and an additional 50 yuan per person will be paid for the resettlement expenses of Dayang.
After this battle, all survivors will be promoted to military rank one level and will be rewarded with 30 oceans. Those who have already raised military ranks in the rewards for the Battle of Songjiang will not be promoted again and will receive an additional 30 oceans as a reward.
In other words, as long as those in the advance group survive, they will be promoted to the military rank one level at least, and they can also earn 60 ocean rewards.
In addition to military ranks and substantive awards from the ocean, the entire 'Advance Regiment' has won various medals, as high as 600, nearly one-fifth of the award ratio, which is a small record. Even in the Songhu Battle
There has never been an army that has enjoyed such an honor.
Although the medal cannot be cashed in, it still has some effect when sent home. Not to mention shining the lintel of the family, with this kind of 'talisman' that records meritorious service, the gentry in the villages and towns have to take a high look no matter how domineering they are.
Don't dare to bully me at will anymore.
Otherwise, once a commotion breaks out, no one can stop the anger coming from the army unless they are the kind of person with hands and eyes that can reach the sky.
Of course, this is only effective for the gentry who respect etiquette. For those bullies and wealthy locals who have long been accustomed to domineering in remote areas, the country is nothing, let alone a small medal.
But something is better than nothing, and at least it is the recognition of a country’s government’s dedication to the lives of frontline soldiers.
Doesn’t everyone, even if they are as small as a grain of dust in such a magnificent era, need to find their own sense of recognition?
However, there is some jealousy, but very little jealousy. Everyone here knows that if it were not for the troops who fell asleep as soon as they entered the garrison, they would not have received such a generous reward this time, even so far.
So far, I haven’t even seen an ocean hair.
Such a heavy reward was not due to the fact that the Jiashan front line blocked the Japanese 18th Division for seven days and nights, but because of the complete annihilation of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade. It was the largest number of Japanese troops annihilated in one battle during the entire Songhu War.
It was a battle in which the Japanese were knocked unconscious by one punch. Even now, the 18th Division has not recovered, and it has not fired a single shot all day long.
In fact, this was because the frontline armies did not have enough information, and they still underestimated the importance that the big bosses attached to annihilating a heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army.
In the afternoon, senior intelligence officers sent by the Fuxing Society arrived near the position of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade and saw the lively "corpse collection" of the 18th Division on the position.
The message sent back to the headquarters with the trembling little hands of the intelligence agent described: "That is really a huge crowd of people with red flags waving."
The red flag is the sun flag, and the sun flag dyed red by blood looks extremely bright in the sun; and the human mountain is of course a mountain of corpses. As for the human sea, the intelligence officer may feel that the idiom is not complete here.
I'm really not used to it, not to mention that there are at least three to four thousand Japanese people in the field of vision, which is worthy of this term.
In order to collect the corpses, the 18th Division mobilized an entire baggage regiment and an infantry battalion.
Trucks and carts that were once filled with food and ammunition were unloaded to load corpses, but even so, it was still not enough. The Japanese army had to numbly pile the corpses onto the truck like piles of wood.
Once it reaches the top, two more need to be hung up.
The stench of blood flowing from the carts spread along the wind for at least several miles, knocking out even the highly trained senior intelligence agents who were hiding in the wilderness.
As soon as I left that hellish place, I vomited.
In addition to the corpses, there were a large number of blown-up artillery steel parts.
The Japanese have always been an extremely frugal nation. Even though the cannon was blown up, the scraps of steel and iron cannot be thrown away. They are transported back to the country and reprocessed. Maybe they can make a few more cannons.
What else can this situation mean? It means that the advance team did not lie, they really completed this impossible miraculous battle. Although before the award was awarded, senior intelligence officers lurking in Beiping and Tianjin had already proved it.
In the evening, the Ministry of Military Affairs, which finally obtained real evidence proving that it had indeed won a great victory, quickly published an article titled "Our Army Won a Great Victory on the Jiashan Frontline."
Major newspapers that had already received inside information from various channels quickly followed up and immediately organized printing. Due to the urgent need for a large number of people to sell, the editor-in-chief of a major newspaper personally went to the streets to become a "reporter uncle" in return.
However, because of this rare sales experience, it is said that it caused misunderstandings among the editor-in-chief.
Who said that the life of a newsboy is difficult? This is just picking up money!
When the city lights are on, the moment the newspaper comes out, it is like a pot of boiling water that has been boiling for a long time and is completely boiling.
Scholars wearing robes would really have no shame in going out if they didn't have a newspaper in their hands that read "Victory on the Front Line".
That's it?
Even laborers at the bottom of society don't know how to greet someone if the first thing they say when they go out and meet someone they know is "Did you hear anything today?"
Young students are the main force in this pot of boiling water. Under the leadership of student unions at all levels, they have taken to the streets with banners and parades.
But this time is not a demonstration, but a celebration! It is solidarity! Support and solidarity for the soldiers who are still fighting the Japanese invaders on the front line.
Except for big cities such as Pingjin, Shanghai, and Hangzhou that have been occupied by the Japanese army, students have taken action in almost all big cities in China from north to south.
And for the first time, the police in charge of public security did not stop this group of young people whose eyes were so excited that they were shining. Many police officers even raised their own flags when they shouted the slogan "Long live China, long live the Chinese nation"
arm.
"Big knife, chop off the heads of the Japanese!"
“The Great Wall will never fall down! The Yellow River is surging for thousands of miles!”
They are the two songs most frequently sung by parades in various places.
The "popular songs" that Tang Dao taught the soldiers to sing during the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, passed through the hands of Tantai Mingyue and spread all over the country through telegraphs.
Many people sang "Here are the whole country in arms", and instead of having tears in their eyes, they were weeping bitterly.
Because many of their relatives and close friends are on that battlefield, and no one can know about them.
This long-awaited victory is the only news for them.
In despair, how can you not cry when you receive such news?
This is a moment when the whole country is at war.
Cheers, laughter, and tears are the reflection of China at this moment.
Parades filled every major city and lasted until late at night.
In the words of a Western reporter who witnessed this scene with his own eyes and wrote it in his own record and published it in a Western newspaper a few days later: "This is a weak nation that, despite all its efforts, is still unable to resist the invaders, but it is also a nation that
A nation with great vitality became excited because of a battlefield victory that seemed insignificant to us.
This is not because they are weak and hard-won, but I can clearly see their hearts that were hit by victory. When they are no longer numb and become eager for victory, what kind of disaster will it be for their opponents?
?
Because they have tens of millions of square kilometers of land and a population of more than 400 million, which is already more than the entire Europe!
God! That's really terrible. When this nation wakes up."
The exclamation of Western reporters and the lament of "The empire has lost all its important weapons to the enemy" finally published by Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" on the third day after the war have become the most striking contrast between China's overseas media.
The big bosses in China, who were almost depressed after losing consecutive wars, finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally saved their pants.
It's not a big deal to issue blank check bonuses for promotion of military rank, or to wholesale medals like cabbage.
After waking up, Tang Dao, who chatted with his subordinates for a long time, finally received an order from the headquarters to go to the headquarters to attend the celebration banquet.
