Chapter 509: Bestowal (II)
Among them, especially the headquarters of the Independent Regiment of the Second Division of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China, the 288th Regiment and the 289th Regiment of the New First Division of the 29th Army of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China were the most outstanding, first in mid-March to meet the enemy's Fourth Brigade and annihilate more than 7,000 enemy troops under Major General Suzuki Mitsu of the Japanese Army, and then in late March with a total of 7,236 people from the three regiments to defend the Luo Wenyu Pass of the Great Wall against more than 25,000 enemies of the enemy's Eighth Division, nearly 10,000 enemies annihilated, two great victories before and after, all show the majesty of our Chinese power, hereby, by The President of the Republic of China the order of Jiang Gongzhong, issued γγγγγγ As Wang Shihe deliberately lengthened his voice, his gaze stayed at the officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment.
There was silence in the audience, only Wang Shihe's voice echoed in the empty auditorium.
"Colonel Liu Lang of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Colonel Qi Guangyuan of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and Colonel Dong Shengtang of the Chinese Revolutionary Army won the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun; Chi Dakui, Lieutenant Colonel of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Tang Yongming, Lieutenant Colonel of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Bai Yunyue, Lieutenant Colonel of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Ji Yanxue, Major of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and Yu Xiancheng, Major of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, were awarded the Order of Baoding of the Third Class; Major of the Chinese Revolutionary Army Liang Wenzhong, Lieutenant Zhou Shiyu of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Lieutenant Li Guobin of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Lieutenant Xiang Xiang of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Lieutenant Liu Dazhu of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Lieutenant Cheng Yuanshan of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Ling Hong, Lieutenant of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and Xiao Fenghua of the Chinese Revolutionary Armyγγγγγγ Awarded the Order of the Treasure of the Fourth Class; Zhao Ergou, lieutenant of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Wei Hutou, second lieutenant of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and Zhan Datong of the Chinese Revolutionary Armyγγγγγγ Awarded the Order of the Treasure of the Fifth Classγγγγγγ β
By the time the long list of 1,680 people was finished, more than half an hour had passed.
Although there were only 470 officers and soldiers of the three regiments present, the number of officers and soldiers of the three regiments who won all the large and small medals was as high as 1,680, but 40 percent of them could no longer wear their medals in person, and there were more than 600 people behind the title, Wang Shihe would be crowned with the suffix of martyrs, and the names of more than 600 martyrs who won medals in a row made the audience silent and could almost hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground.
Behind all the glory is the blood and life of countless people.
Until Liu Lang took the lead on stage, the audience applauded like thunder and lasted for a long time.
Although there are those who are jealous and those who are dissatisfied because of the generous reward, the vast majority of soldiers do admire them from the bottom of their hearts. The annihilation of nearly 20,000 Japanese invaders in World War I was an unprecedented record in the history of the entire Republic of China, including the Qing Empire, which had not long been destroyed.
In particular, this is still the case that the record of the three regiments combined as a regiment to chase the Japanese out of the Great Wall and defeat the Eighth Division several times in a row has not been officially recognized, if you add the remnants of the Eighth Division that were rumored a few days ago to be almost completely annihilated by an anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and there is also the shadow of Liu Lang, the achievements of these three regiments are really shocking, at least for now, no unit can surpass them.
Even if you are dissatisfied with the dazzling brilliance of Liu Lang and Qi Guangyuan, you have to say that these people on the stage are worthy of the medals on their chests.
Indeed, the bald boss's generosity in the medal this time not only exceeded everyone's expectations, but even Liu Lang was taken aback.
Not to mention the numbers, a total of 1,680 people from the three regiments were awarded medals, accounting for nearly a quarter of the entire number. The quality of this medal has not been discounted in any way, the commanders of the three regiments have won the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, which is something that only sixteen people have won before, including the bald boss, that is, after this award, there are 40,000 people in the country, and only 19 people in total have this honor, no, to be more precise, it is 19 and 18 people, Liu Lang, a little butterfly who traveled from time and space in the future, participated in the two largest wars with the Japanese before 1937, and won two of them.
When the boss always takes advantage, this has been the case in all dynasties, after a battle is over, it has always been the boss who takes merit in exchange for rewards, and the soldiers exchange their lives for money.
However, this time, the bald boss's rewards for the officers and soldiers of the three regiments were also rich enough, the third-class Baoding Medal, the fourth-class Baoding Medal, and the fifth-class Baoding Medal were issued as if they didn't want money, and almost all officers above the school level were able to obtain the Baoding Medal of the highest third class, and the lieutenants who performed well in the war also received the highest fourth-class Baoding Medal that the lieutenant could receive according to the merits reported, and the captains who died bravely and the captains who were wounded also received the fifth-class, and the sixth-class ones were even more like cabbage. Almost as long as they participated in this battle, the officers whose performance was not too shameful were awarded the sixth class.
And this is already stronger than the other two division commanders of the Central Division who won the fourth-class Baoding Medal. Even Liang Wenzhong, who was still stationed at the base of the Longmenshan Independent Regiment in Sichuan, was awarded the fourth-class Baoding Medal because Liu Lang mentioned it in the battle merit recommendation form, and was tied with the two lieutenant generals and division commanders who were not good at fighting but had been on the front line for a while.
As for the soldiers, the bald boss is not stingy with rewards, but all soldiers who have been killed in battle or are seriously injured and disabled, or have a great military merit record, have won the highest level of the Baoding Medal that soldiers can obtain, the 6th class Baoding Medal, even if they have obtained the lowest rank, it will end up to the eighth class.
There were simply no other troops with a large number of lower-ranking Medals of Loyalty and Loyalty.
The honor won by the officers and men of the three regiments is truly unsurpassed. Even in Liu Lang's memory, in the future Great Patriotic War, the bald man had never awarded such a medal to the army that defeated the Japanese invaders. Even the famous Taierzhuang bloody battle killed and injured tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers cannot be compared, although it was only a disastrous victory, but it is also one of the few records that the Kuomintang can achieve.
The officers and men of the three regiments were all beaming, and this medal gave not only glory, but also benefits, and according to the regulations on the promulgation of medals by the national government, the corresponding medals also had corresponding bonuses and living allowances. Those who have already died can also be supported by their relatives at the local government to receive a monthly subsidy to support their parents until their death and to raise their young children to adulthood.
This is only material, like Liu Lang and the other three won the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, which is almost equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death.
Huang Baitao's widow Liu Biyun immediately knocked on the door of the bald man with this medal, and counted Huang Baitao's military exploits with tears in her eyes, and pleaded with the bald boss on the grounds of "leaving a pulse of incense for the Huang family", which made the bald boss cry. The Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun became a "gold medal for avoiding death" for a while. Later, some people followed suit, wanting to use this medal to excuse their families, and the bald boss also recited the old kindness many times, and almost no refused.
Only Liu Lang didn't have too much smile on his face, the more generous the bald guy was, the more he smelled a smell of conspiracy, even blocking people from ten gold medals for withdrawing troops, Liu Lang himself probably had the urge to beat people, not to mention the leader of a party and a country that cannot be provoked by an authority. Will you be slapped in the face and give gifts so diligently?
Sometimes, Liu Lang himself hates his crow brain, and what he thinks about has really become a reality.
PS: I'm really sorry everyone, Fengyue just got off the train and got home, and the update was late, but it didn't break today. I recommend a friend's book, "Anti-Japanese Chinese God of War", which was first published in the book city, with 500,000 words.
