Chapter 564: Pre-War Awards

"Listen to all! Attention! Salute! ”

Seeing the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao striding towards a slightly higher field surrounded by a group of officers, the deputy battalion commander Qin Shou puffed out his cheeks and suddenly roared.

"Brush!"

More than 2,000 brothers who stood solemnly moved when they heard this, raised their hands in salute in unison, and their movements were uniform, and a fierce killing aura soared into the sky.

Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao also stood straight in front of the brothers, raised his hand and returned a standard military salute.

Under the turbulent dark clouds, more than 2,000 brothers stood there steadily, silent, which made the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao very satisfied.

If he didn't know that they were recruits, he would have thought that this was a battle-hardened army of tigers and wolves.

"Rite over!" Qin Shou put down his right hand that had been raised above his ear in the roar.

With another neat brush, the brothers neatly lowered their right hands, their hard faces full of determination, and their thin bodies were as strong as steel.

Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao also put down his hand and ordered in a deep voice: "Take a break." ”

The onlookers saw the more than 2,000 silent officers and soldiers standing in the scene, and were shocked by the majestic and majestic heroic posture, and some of them were full of tears with excitement when they thought of their bombed homes.

Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao's eyes slowly scanned the audience, and the grassroots officers promoted by the veterans in the front row held their chests up, with pride, and the recruits who stood still and solemnly were also in high spirits, with the momentum of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, which made Zhou Zhidao feel satisfied.

"Brethren!" Zhou Zhidao stabilized his mind, took a deep breath, and suddenly spoke.

The penetrating voice suddenly shocked the spirits of the officers and soldiers in the audience, and their eyes turned to Zhou Zhidao who was standing on a high place.

"The country is in trouble, the husband is responsible, now the Japanese are hideous, killing my people, slaughtering my homeland, causing my mountains and rivers to be broken, full of desolation, in ancient times, Yue Wu Mu Jingzhong served the country, now there are thousands of officers and soldiers of our revolutionary army bloody killing the enemy, in Shanghai, my 300,000 soldiers generously went to the difficulty, in Nanjing, my 100,000 officers and soldiers died in martyrdom, the little devil has aircraft and artillery, fierce and hideous, but we are stepping on the land of the motherland, behind us are 40,000 people who support our fathers and villagers, for the eternal survival of the nation! For the eternal survival of the motherland! Our soldiers have been going forward one after another from now on, and they have beaten all the enemies who come to attack! ”

Zhou Zhidao's voice was like thunder, and the words were clear, which made every brother feel enthusiastic, they were soldiers, and the sense of responsibility and honor of soldiers made them unable to stand idly by.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The brethren, full of hatred for their country and family, and their chests were full of blood, and they raised their bayonets murderously, and the roar of a soldier came out of their throats.

The bright bayonets and the roars of the brothers made the surrounding horses neigh, and the air was filled with the murderous aura of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

The recruits had long heard the stories of bloody killings in front of them in the rear at this moment, and now that they were on the battlefield, they also felt a heavy responsibility on their shoulders.

They are now soldiers, behind them are the fathers of their homeland, in front of them are the fierce enemy, they have steel guns in their hands, they must not retreat, they have to defend the only remaining homeland behind them.

"Brethren! The little devils have hit our doorstep, they burn and loot all the way, bombarding our crops and houses unscrupulously, leaving countless people floating in the wilderness, they are a group of jackals and beasts, you say, can we let them continue to do evil?! ”

Zhou Zhidao's voice was sonorous and powerful, and the brothers full of grief and indignation shouted in unison: "Can't! No! ”

"That's good, raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while! Since the jackals and wild dogs have broken into our house to do evil, then we must use the guns and bayonets in our hands to give them a hard blow and drive them out of our China completely! ”

Hearing Zhou Zhidao's words, the brothers all clenched the weapons in their hands, eager to go to the battlefield to fight the devils now.

"The devil is a fierce jackal, I hope that each of you is ready to fight with the devil in blood, and also ready to sacrifice for the country, we may die a lot of people, but I hope you don't be afraid, we are fighting a national war, sacrifice is glorious, as long as we still have one person alive, we will continue to fight until the last drop of blood is shed, we Chinese soldiers are never afraid of death, and never give in!"

The recruits may have had other thoughts before, but at this moment they have been washed in a strong patriotic atmosphere, countless veterans have sacrificed their lives to go to the country, and now it is their turn, they cannot be ashamed.

"Fight the enemy! Rather die than submit! ”

"Fight the enemy! Rather die than submit! ”

......

The shouts of the brothers were higher and higher, making everyone's blood agitate, Zhou Zhidao nodded with satisfaction, pressed down with his hands, and the brothers were quiet again.

"Our 74th Army crippled the Devil Maruyama Brigade in the Battle of Minshan and slaughtered thousands of devils, I am here to thank every brother who fought bloodily, this victory belongs to you! The medal also belongs to you, and I brought it to you this time! ”

Zhou Zhidao said as he took the shining medal from the adjutant's hand and held it high, making the veterans standing in the front row suddenly breathe with excitement.

If Zhou Zhidao's previous speech was to inspire the brothers to fight bravely with patriotic feelings, then now the public award is a real thing, which makes the spirit of the recruits even more invigorating.

"Now the one whose name I read comes forward to give the honor!" Zhou Zhidao slowly glanced around, and then said loudly.

After hearing Zhou Zhidao's words, every veteran was eager, hoping to hear his name.

"Yang Ling, deputy commander of the 301st Regimentβ€”" Zhou Zhidao opened the document and began to read it out loud.

Yang Ling was standing next to Zhou Zhidao, and he was stunned when he suddenly heard his name, he didn't write about himself when he reported his military merits.

However, seeing Zhou Zhidao's smiling gaze, he quickly reacted from surprise.

"Here!" immediately tidied up his appearance and strode forward.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Yang Ling, loyal to his duties, abide by his duties as a soldier, led the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment to fight bravely to kill the enemy, repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, killed countless people, and captured a lot of materials, in recognition of his exemplary work for all officers and soldiers and his achievements in killing the enemy, Yang Ling was specially promoted to the colonel of the 301st Regiment and awarded a third-class Baoding Medal!"

Zhou Zhidao said as he took the shining medal from the adjutant's hand and walked to Yang Ling with a smile, and wore the medal on Yang Ling's chest under the witness of all the officers and soldiers.

Yang Ling looked at the medal on his chest and took his letter of appointment, he was also excited, not because he was promoted, but because he was recognized for killing the enemy, which is an honor for a soldier.

"Congratulations, I hope you will continue to work hard and fight bravely." Zhou Zhidao smiled and congratulated.

Yang Ling calmed down his excitement, raised his hand and saluted Zhou Zhidao with a solemn military salute, and said loudly: "You should fight bravely to kill the enemy and live up to the military uniform of the brigade seat!" ”

Yang Ling turned around, and more than 2,000 brothers applauded excitedly when they saw the award from their own family officials.

"Lu Xing, the commander of the first battalion of the 301st Regiment, Major and the battalion commander, abides by his duties as a soldier, takes the lead, and has meritorious service in killing the enemy, and is specially promoted to lieutenant colonel and battalion commander, and awarded a third-class Baoding Medal!"

......

"Qin Shou, the captain of the 301st Regiment, was brave in battle and fearless in killing the enemy, and was specially promoted to the deputy battalion commander of the major and awarded the Order of Baoding of the fifth class."

"Su Er, the second lieutenant platoon commander of the 301st Regiment, fought bravely, killed an enemy adjutant, was specially promoted to captain company commander, and was awarded a medal of loyalty and bravery."

"Liu Yidao, the captain and company commander of the 301st Regiment, took the lead, was seriously injured and did not retreat, and won a lot, and was specially promoted to major battalion commander and awarded a fourth-class Baoding Medal as a reward."

"The 301st Regiment Captain Company Commander Niu Dagen ......"

Under the eager gaze of the recruits, officers and veterans who had made meritorious contributions to the battle stepped forward to receive the commendation with sonorous and powerful steps, which was not easy to come by, but after sacrificing countless brothers and groping for the medal of the mountain beam, many people had tears in their eyes.

Every recruit was thrilled in their hearts, and the honor of being awarded in public made them yearn for it, and they also longed to get a military medal one day.

Many veterans were lying in the hospital with serious injuries and could not make it to the scene, but the solemn award did not forget them, and the brothers who died were also posthumously awarded medals and will be sent back to their homes.

Captain and company commander Liu Yidao, who was seriously injured in the Battle of Lanfeng, returned from his wounds, and was also promoted to major battalion commander because of his bravery, and won a Baoding Medal.

Every brother who has made meritorious contributions to the battle has been more or less promoted and military merit medals, and even those who have not been rewarded with silver dollars, looking at the veterans standing there proudly, the shining medals on their chests, the emotions of the recruits have also been aroused.
