Chapter 519: Second-Class Meritorious Hero
Qin Hongwei's speech was very brief, but his evaluation of Luo Zhicheng was extremely high. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the end of his speech, Qin Hongwei said: "Squad leader Luo Zhicheng has been sweating on the training ground for decades, and in the complicated and dangerous struggle against the enemy, he has fulfilled the solemn oath of a veteran when he joined the army with his blood and life, and he has not even had time to take a look at the lights of thousands of homes that he has guarded for decades! Comrades, this is a good example of contemporary revolutionary soldiers! All the officers and men of the lone wolf must inherit the legacy of Comrade Luo Zhicheng, turn their grief into strength, practice hard to kill the enemy, and be ready to fight for the motherland at any time!"
The officers and soldiers of the lone wolf had red eyes, and shouted in unison with all their strength: "Use me in the first battle, use me to win!"
After the welcoming ceremony, Lao Luo's wife and daughter walked up.
Squad Leader Luo's daughter looked at her father's black-and-white posthumous photo, and didn't seem to understand the meaning of life and death, while his wife had already cried into tears.
Guo Zhan bit his lip tightly, and only after a while did he say guiltily: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry...... I took Squad Leader Luo out, but I didn't bring him back safely......"
Squad Leader Luo's wife is named Lin Yue'e, because she has been separated from the two places for a long time, she takes care of the elderly and children at home alone, and takes care of housework all day long, so she looks older than her actual age.
Lin Yue'e shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "Captain Guo, I don't blame you for this, it's all fate...... Lao Luo Sheng...... He told me before his death that as a soldier, he was ready to sacrifice at any time! As his wife, I was actually mentally prepared for this......
Guo Zhan said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, if there are any difficulties at home, tell us, and the organization will definitely try its best to solve them, and if the organization can't solve them, I will personally help you solve them." ”
Lin Yue'e shook her head and said: "We don't have any requirements for the organization, but I hope that Lao Luo can return to his hometown and return to ......his roots."
Guo Zhan immediately said: "We respect your opinion, and we will immediately contact the relevant departments of Ganjiang Province to arrange a cemetery for Lao Luo in the martyr's cemetery in his hometown." ”
Lin Yue'e nodded lightly and said, "Thank you......"
Then Lin Yue'e set her eyes on Xia Ruofei again.
Xia Ruofei hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Sister-in-law......"
Lao Luo and Lin Yue'e have been married for many years, although they have been separated for a long time, Lin Yue'e will come to visit the team every year, so the veterans are very familiar with this sister-in-law.
Lin Yue'e squeezed out a smile and said, "Xiao Xia, you have been discharged from the army for almost a year, right? ”
"Sister-in-law, don't say that!" Xia Ruofei said, "Squad Leader Luo is the most respected old squad leader of our entire team, and it is our duty to do his thing!"
Lin Yue'e said: "Xiao Xia, the head of the military region told me about the situation, although I don't know what mission you are carrying out this time, but the chief told me that the enemy who killed Lao Luo has been completely wiped out by you, and you have avenged Lao Luo with your own hands, thank you!"
Xia Ruofei's expression darkened, and he said, "But no matter what, squad leader Luo ......."
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but choke up a little, thinking that most of his military career, those bits and pieces seemed to be the shadow of Lao Luo's squad leader, this loyal elder, who had single-handedly turned him from an ordinary soldier into a special operations elite.
Now, the old squad leader is gone forever.
At the end of this ceremony to welcome the coffin, Xia Ruofei's heart felt more and more empty.
Guo Zhan glanced at Xia Ruofei on the side, and whispered, "Ruofei!"
Xia Ruofei also came back to his senses immediately, at this time, the emotions of the family members were already very sad and painful, and he should not show such emotions anymore.
He hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry......"
Lin Yue'e said with red eyes: "It's okay......"
Guo Zhan came over and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go! The hearse is waiting in front!"
"Okay!" Lin Yue'e wiped her tears and said, "Nan Nan, take Dad's photo ......"
Nan Nan, the daughter of the old Luo squad leader, nodded sensibly, took the last photo of the old Luo squad leader from Guo Zhan, and slowly walked towards the hearse under the leadership of the two female soldiers.
Guo Zhan walked to the front of the coffin, patted Tian Feilong on the shoulder, and motioned for him to return to the team.
Then Guo Zhan held the corner of the coffin and gave a command, and the other seven officers and soldiers, including Xia Ruofei, worked hard with him to lift the coffin steadily.
Everyone walked with heavy steps, followed behind Lin Yue'e and Nan Nan, and walked towards the hearse with the coffin.
Guo Zhan chose to carry the coffin in person, give his most respected old squad leader a spirit, and send this guide at the beginning of his army on his last journey.
"Requiem" sounded on the training ground.
All the officers and men brushed in unison in the direction of the coffin and saluted a solemn military salute.
The officers and men who participated in the battle this time, under the order of a platoon commander, picked up the Type 95 submachine gun and loaded the bullet, with the muzzle pointed at the sky.
Da-da-da!
The most familiar gunshot of Lao Luo's squad leader resounded through the training ground to see off the veteran for the last time.
Xia Ruofei, Guo Zhan and other eight people sent the coffin of Lao Luo's squad leader to the hearse, and Lin Yue'e and Nan Nan also got into the car.
Except for Jin Gang, who was unable to get out of bed, all the officers and soldiers who participated in the war this time took another Coaster car and followed the hearse to the funeral home.
After the cremation of the body of Lao Luo, the ashes were placed in the small hall of the lone wolf special combat team.
It was temporarily set up as a mourning hall to receive condolences from the officers and soldiers.
Lao Luo is a well-deserved hero, a hero who fought against hostile forces with real swords and guns in peacetime, and wrote loyalty with blood and life. However, due to the need for secrecy, his deeds will not be publicized in the media, and people will not know that there was a veteran who gave his precious life for the country and the army.
Therefore, his ashes will not be publicly mourned in the outside world.
In fact, there are many such unsung heroes.
We can stroll with our families in the flowing night, live comfortably in the metropolis with green lights, and spend time with our lovers.
The reason why the sun is shining in our lives is because someone keeps the darkness out of our sight......
Xia Ruofei stood in the honor room of the lone wolf commando, he stopped in front of the martyr's wall, where a new photo of Lao Luo's squad leader was hung, and on his left was his good brother Lin Hu, at this moment Xia Ruofei felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
"Squad Leader Xia, so you're here!" a voice came from behind Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei looked back and saw that the person who came was Tian Feilong.
"Feilong, is there something wrong?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile.
"The Wolf King is invited!" Tian Feilong said, "He's in the big conference room, don't you need me to lead the way?"
"Of course!"
When Xia Ruofei, who was dressed in military uniform, came to the large conference room, he found that all the cadres and backbones of the commando team were here.
Guo Zhan saw Xia Ruofei coming in, and said with a smile: "Ruofei is here! Find a place to sit down!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, someone moved a seat to the side and smiled at Xia Ruofei in a friendly manner.
The people in the conference room are all the backbone cadres of the lone wolf commando, and Xia Ruofei was also the backbone squad leader before retiring, and they are all people he is very familiar with.
Xia Ruofei sat down and whispered to the platoon commander who had just given way to him, "Thank you!"
"Everyone is here, let's have a meeting!" Guo Zhan said, "Comrade Xia Ruofei is familiar to everyone, so I don't need to introduce more." This time, there was a serious problem in our implementation of the 615 mission, and the misjudgment of the situation led to casualties. There is only one agenda item for today's meeting......"
Speaking of this, Guo Zhan set his eyes on Xia Ruofei and continued: "Comrade Xia Ruofei took the initiative to ask the troops to recall him to the 615 mission, and played a decisive role in the follow-up process of the mission! He has fulfilled the solemn oath of "returning if there is a war call" with practical actions! Both I and all the commanders and fighters of the lone wolf are very grateful to Comrade Xia Ruofei! Here I suggest that everyone express their gratitude to Comrade Xia Ruofei with warm applause!
There was warm applause in the conference room, Xia Ruofei tidied up his clothes, stood up and saluted everyone with a standard military salute.
After the applause stopped, Guo Zhan continued: "In order to commend Comrade Xia Ruofei's outstanding performance, the higher authorities have decided to give Comrade Xia Ruofei a meritorious service, and now I will read out the general order of the Southeast Military Region on giving Comrade Xia Ruofei a second-class meritorious service!"
As soon as Guo Zhan's voice fell, everyone in the conference room stood upright.
Guo Zhan picked up a document and read it aloud: "General Order No. 12 of the Southeast Military Region! Lone Wolf Commando: Comrade Xia Ruofei, a retired soldier of your unit, ...... during the period when he was ordered to recall him to perform his mission."
Guo Zhan read word by word the general order for meritorious service personally signed by the head of the military district, and thunderous applause once again rang out in the conference room.
Xia Ruofei walked up to the stage, Guo Zhan personally pinned the medal of the second-class meritorious hero to the chest of Xia Ruofei's military uniform, and awarded the meritorious service certificate and the good news of meritorious service to Xia Ruofei - Xia Ruofei is now alone, and naturally there is no place to send the good news of meritorious service, so he will give it directly to him.
Although Xia Ruofei has retired, he will also be included in his personal file if he receives awards for meritorious service during the recall mission.
There is no material reward for this second-class merit, but for Xia Ruofei, it is a very precious honor.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei's mood was also quite excited, after receiving the medal certificate, he stood on the stage, saluted his comrades-in-arms, and said emotionally: "Thank you for the organization's affirmation, comrades-in-arms! Although I have left the lone wolf, my heart will always be with you, and in the future, as long as the army gives an order, I am willing to put on the clothes again and go to the battlefield again!
"Okay!" The comrades-in-arms gave Xia Ruofei a warm applause.
Guo Zhan said on the side: "Next, I announce that Comrade Xia Ruofei has successfully completed the task, and his temporary recall is over!"
......
At the entrance to the barracks, a camouflage-painted cheetah off-road vehicle was quietly parked.
Xia Ruofei silently packed up his things in the room.
Xia Ruofei had changed back into civilian clothes, and all the things that were distributed during the mission this time included woodland camouflage, standard belts, body armor, and bullet bags...... They were all neatly placed on the bed by Xia Ruofei.
He carefully put the meritorious service certificate and medal into his bag, and after zipping it up, he straightened up and glanced around the familiar dormitory.
At this time, Xia Ruofei saw Guo Zhan standing at the door.
"It's so familiar, you don't need to send it, right?" Xia Ruofei said with a pretended relaxed smile.
Guo Zhan walked in, casually put his military hat on the table, and asked, "Talk?"
Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment.
Seeing this, Guo Zhan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not persuading you to stay." Looking for something else for you. ”
Xia Ruofei grinned and said, "You say!"
Guo Zhan moved out of Xiao Mazha from under the bed, and after the two sat down, he said, "Ruofei, I want to talk about my sister-in-law." ”
"You mean Squad Leader Luo's lover?" Xia Ruofei asked.
Guo Zhan nodded and said, "Yes! After the coordination of various military and local departments, the cemetery of squad leader Luo has been confirmed, in the martyr's cemetery in the county where his hometown is located. Tomorrow, my sister-in-law and Nan Nan will go home with the ashes of squad leader Luo. ”
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and listened quietly.
Guo Zhan said: "Squad Leader Luo's parents are old, and now the matter of his sacrifice is still hidden from the old man, I am afraid that they will not be able to stand the blow." His family is also more difficult, his sister-in-law has no formal job, although the pension and condolence money of the squad leader Luo can alleviate the urgent need, but in the future, without the salary income of the squad leader, there will only be some martyr subsidies, I am afraid that family life will be more difficult. ”
Guo Zhan paused and continued: "Generally speaking, the family of a martyr like Squad Leader Luo who has made great contributions can solve work problems organizationally, and the local government has also promised to make proper arrangements. However, the sister-in-law was unwilling to cause trouble to the organization, saying that if Team Leader Luo was alive, she would not agree to her doing so. ”
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be a little moved, the word "military wife" is really heavy, and the dedication and bitterness behind these two words are also extremely huge, and a military wife with a high consciousness like Lin Yue'e is not an exception.
Guo Zhan continued: "I persuaded her, saying that this is normal treatment, but my sister-in-law is a heart and does not accept it. ”
Xia Ruofei said: "My sister-in-law is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is very assertive, and it is difficult for her to change her mind when she decides. ”
"Isn't it?" Guo Zhan smiled bitterly, "Ruofei, so I want to ask you to persuade her, this time you personally avenged Lao Luo's squad leader, and she may be able to listen to your words." ”
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, "Captain, I don't recommend that my sister-in-law accept the work arranged by the organization......
Guo Zhan was stunned for a moment, and said, "You kid! I still point to you to persuade my sister-in-law! Why are you still singing against me?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Wolf King, listen to me! My sister-in-law only has a high school education, and she doesn't have any special skills, even if she arranges work in the organization, at most she is an idle position in a public institution, and the salary level in Ganjiang Province is generally low, I'm afraid that even if she has an establishment, she won't have much money a month, and her family will definitely be tight at that time." ”
"Is there anything better you can do?" asked Guo Zhan.
"Of course!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Don't forget what I do! My company is in a period of rapid expansion, and I have to recruit people almost every once in a while, I think I just let my sister-in-law go to work in my company, and the salary and treatment must not be wronged by our sister-in-law!"
