Chapter 1031 Commendation Conference (I)
As soon as the weather began to shine, the commendation meeting for the world's greatest victory was held as scheduled, and as soon as the day dawned, the brothers who were responsible for setting up the venue and participating in the review were busy.
The combat heroes who will participate in the commendation meeting are all dressed neatly in the morning, specially changed into new military uniforms, and their suede cowhide shoes are also spotless.
The snipers Zhang Hai and Wu Hao of the Flame Special Operations Brigade were also among the commendations this time, and in the battle at the head of the world, the sniper team formed by the two of them killed more than 30 devil soldiers, and became a rising rookie.
The training of many snipers is fed with bullets, so Yang Ling specially approved ammunition for these excellent shooters to practice shooting, and at the same time let them undergo the tempering of actual combat.
The Flame Special Operations Brigade suffered heavy losses in the first battle of Gaoyou, and only eighteen people could still maintain their combat effectiveness, so in the battle of the Boundary Chief, in addition to the two sniper teams who were ordered to participate in the battle, the other brothers were in secret special training to enhance their strength.
"The belt is tightened, don't be loose, you can't make a mistake today."
Wei Qing, the captain of the special operations team, looked at the two brothers who were about to receive the commendation, and he was also very happy in his heart, after all, he was giving them the face of the captain of the special operations team.
Although Zhang Hai and Wu Hao are both ruthless Hades who kill people on the battlefield without blinking, the first time they have to accept the commendation in front of everyone, they are excited and nervous at the same time.
"Captain, either or I won't go......"
Rather than accepting commendations in front of everyone, sniper Wu Hao still prefers to be a spectator hidden in the shadows.
"What? Cowardly? Looking at the two slightly nervous brothers, Wei Qing, the captain of the special operations team, clenched his fists and punched them twice in the chest.
"That's not true, it's just that the legs and stomach are a little disobedient."
Zhang Hai also twisted his body awkwardly, feeling a little uncomfortable to be dressed neatly, and they like to lie in the field in camouflaged sacks on weekdays.
"You two don't know what to do, our Northern Jiangsu Corps has thousands of brothers, and there are only ten brothers who have been commended this time, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you pass this village, there will be no such shop." Wei Qing said with a straight face angrily.
"You don't just represent yourself now, you also represent our Flame Special Operations Brigade, when the time comes, go up and straighten my waist, if you embarrass Lao Tzu, see how I clean up you two boys when I come back!"
After hearing Wei Qing's words, Zhang Hai and Wu Hao both glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths were bitter, they knew that no matter what, they would have to bite the bullet today.
Although the establishment of the Flame Special Operations Brigade belongs to the battalion level, the largest number of people is only a few dozen, and this time there are only two people who receive the commendation, which can be said to be out of the limelight.
The other reinforcement battalions, which numbered as many as eight or nine hundred people, also had a total of two commendation places, which can be said to be the importance that Yang Ling attaches to them.
Therefore, Wei Qing, the captain of the special operations team, was also very happy, and others didn't have a chance to show their faces if they wanted to, so he rushed over early in the morning to help the two brothers clean up.
While the heroes of the battle who were about to be honored in public were preparing with excitement and nervousness, the brothers who were responsible for maintaining order on the scene were also under great pressure.
Wu Changqing, commander of the second battalion, was in charge of the security work of the commendation meeting, and because there were many people who came to watch the commendation meeting nearby, in addition to the two infantry companies that participated in the review, the other two infantry companies, a machine gun company, and a special service company were all arranged around the meeting venue.
Six companies of brothers assembled in the camp early in the morning, all heavily armed with loaded guns.
"All stand upright!"
"Brush!"
With a cold snort from the officer on duty, the officers and men who were neatly assembled stood up in unison, their eyes looking straight ahead.
"Brothers, I won't say much about how important today's commendation meeting is, in addition to the representatives of friendly troops, journalists, squire representatives and nearly 10,000 people, General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department of the theater, will also come to watch the ceremony, and the maintenance of order and security work will be undertaken by our second battalion, so there can be no problems!"
Although the brothers already knew that a general would be there to watch the ceremony, when the battalion commander Wu Changqing said it, the brothers still felt a heavy pressure, and if something happened, they could not afford it.
"Among these people watching the ceremony, it is very likely that there will be traitor spies, so in terms of entering the venue, you must keep your eyes open for me to keep an eye on, except for the guests who are watching the ceremony, any weapons, including daggers, cannot be brought in, do you understand?!"
"Understood!"
The brothers replied in a loud and loud voice, and the importance they had already attained was a little higher.
"Brothers of the spy company, you disguise yourself as ordinary people and mix in the crowd watching the ceremony, you are the last line of defense, once you find suspicious people, etc., you will arrest me first, I would rather catch a thousand by mistake than miss one!"
"Yes!"
More than 160 brothers of the spy company did not wear military uniforms today, but all dressed up as civilians, and they were responsible for surveillance in the shadows.
"Yesterday you have met with the brothers of the Intelligence Service hoe team, and I hope that you will cooperate to nip all dangers in the cradle."
This commendation meeting is also a propaganda conference, not only to publicize the victory of the first victory in the world, but also to show the North Jiangsu Corps.
Showing strength to the outside world can not only achieve the effect of deterring the small, but also enhance the cohesion and sense of honor of the brothers to a certain extent, and enhance the morale of the troops.
"Let's go!"
When Wu Changqing assigned the tasks of each company, with a wave of his hand, the officers and men with loaded guns rushed out of the camp and headed in the direction of the meeting place, and began to set up a cordon.
For this commendation conference and publicity conference, Yang Ling also attached great importance to it and made the conference extraordinarily grand.
The rostrum of the entire venue was set up a few days ago, and the big characters of the commendation brigade written in red banners were particularly conspicuous.
Around the venue, there are also colorful flags fluttering, and there are many banners, and these banners from the military propaganda team are mainly based on the anti-Japanese war and salvation.
"Fight to the end, fight to the death!"
"Expel the Japanese invaders and restore my rivers and mountains!"
"An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, 100,000 people and 100,000 troops!"
"Unite as one, protect the family and the species, and save the nation from peril!"
......
All kinds of inspiring banners and propaganda filled the whole venue with a strong patriotic atmosphere, so that everyone who participated in the meeting could feel a national call from the heart to resist the war and save the country.
Although the Chinese army fought bloody battles with the little devils on countless battlefields, the sky was dark and the blood flowed like rivers, but because the propaganda of many propaganda organizations was not effective, and the means of communication were backward, many ordinary people did not know about it.
And Yang Ling directly invited reporter friends over this time, just to expand his influence, show the true side of the Chinese army's anti-Japanese war in the occupied area, tell the Chinese people that the Chinese army has never stopped fighting, and tell the Japanese that the Chinese soldiers will never give in!
