Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 482

Chapter 482 Unfair

Throughout the day, the battlefield at the Jiashan Defense Line was quiet.

Although the 18th Division, which lost its heavy artillery brigade, did not retreat, it also did not launch any attack. This was the day when the Chinese and Japanese armies entered into a confrontation for the first time.

This is naturally an extremely rare recuperation time for Chinese soldiers, especially for the two divisions of the 67th Army. From the beginning of the Battle of Songjiang to the present, they are either on the battlefield or on the way to the battlefield. They are already exhausted physically and mentally. .

　　The Japanese were rarely beaten softly, so they naturally took the time to sleep.

Whether it is in trenches or in various fortifications, soldiers sleeping in their clothes can be seen everywhere.

But if anyone walks into this camp, they will definitely be shocked by the sleeping position. The cold mud is used as a bed, the pillow is his beloved rifle, and he holds the ammunition box in his arms, and happy snores come one after another.

Being able to sleep peacefully is the greatest happiness for the soldiers of the Third Division at this moment.

But this does not prevent the war from happening. They will immediately wake up from their sleep and quickly join the battle.

The advance regiment was also sleeping. They were ordered to make repairs and almost as soon as they arrived at the station, they left everything behind and fell asleep.

Seven consecutive days and nights of maneuvering have consumed most of their physical strength, and the battle last night completely drained their strength. The ability to hold on to the defense line is no longer dependent on physical strength but purely on the will to survive.

Everyone knows that once the Japanese plane arrives at dawn, it will be over.

This is also the case. The Japanese navy's reconnaissance plane couldn't wait to arrive over the Jiashan defense line in the morning light.

It's a pity that they can only watch helplessly as their target calmly enters the defense line.

To add to their sense of helplessness, Cheng Tieshou symbolically set up the Oerlikon cannon and fired a round of bullets into the sky.

So, the Japanese navy has calmed down and the Japanese army has become honest, at least during the day.

The soldiers were asleep, but a group of generals in the headquarters couldn't sleep. There was a huge quarrel in the headquarters this afternoon.

“What does this mean?” Lieutenant General Gu, who had a straightforward temper, patted the message forwarded by the theater headquarters and asked loudly.

"What else can it mean? It's just because Tang Dao was born in our Sichuan Army and has a low status, so they look down upon him!" Lieutenant General Guo lit up a cigarette, his face seemed calm, but his eyes were full of coldness.

“Brother Guo, please don't take the responsibility on yourself, let's see! This time Tang Dao was implicated by our 67th Army! I can't help him!” Lieutenant General Wu said with a bitter look on his face and a slight sigh.

"That won't work. If the rewards and punishments are unclear, how can we get the frontline soldiers to kill the enemy wholeheartedly without fearing that the frontline soldiers will be disheartened?" Lieutenant General Gu raised his voice. "I want to generate power in the theater as the headquarters. Please tell me the opinions of the whole army in Jiashan!"

"It's useless. Not to mention the theater headquarters, I'm afraid the Ministry of Military Affairs is not the one who makes the final decision!" Lieutenant General Wu waved his hand and said: "I thought that this time our 67th Army went to war for the country and traveled thousands of miles, which would alleviate that person's worries a little bit. , I didn't expect his big heart.”

“However, having said that, don't deceive a young man into being poor. Because our 67th Army oppressed a young hero, maybe he will regret it sooner or later.” Lieutenant General Wu turned his attention to Lieutenant General Guo. "Brother Guo, do you think this is true?"

"Hehe! The heroes see the same thing. Normally, this would be a loss for Tang Dao, but at this time! It's not a bad thing!" Lieutenant General Guo, who was smoking, smiled. "Those people want to push such good generals out, we should laugh at it! Anyway, they are the soldiers of our 43rd Army who went out." "Hey, hey! Brother Guo, you are wrong. What do you mean by the soldiers of the 43rd Army? I want to take it all for myself!" Lieutenant General Wu stared, but a smile emerged on his face.

"Why are you two brothers still laughing? You must be so angry!" Lieutenant General Gu, who was pacing around the headquarters with an angry groan, turned his head, only to find that the two men were smiling at each other, and he couldn't help but Stunned.

“Haha, Lao Gu! I admit that you are a good hand in fighting, but as an official! You are not as good as me and Wu Junzuo!” Lieutenant General Guo laughed loudly.

“How do you say this?” The Hunan Army Lieutenant General, who had formed a deep friendship with these two men after fighting side by side for seven days and nights, was not annoyed by being teased by his colleagues. Instead, he asked curiously.

He wanted to see how these two colleagues who were proficient in officialdom thought of bad things as good things.

You know, the three of them collectively ranked Tang Dao as the first contribution to the entire army in Jiashan, hoping that Tang Dao could soar into the sky. From now on, the Sichuan Army, the Hunan Army, and the Northeast Army would also have a leader in the Central Military Department. Strong support.

The result, that's it!

"The enemy's 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade was wiped out in the first battle on the Jiashan front line. The whole army and the whole country cheered for such a shocking achievement. The Commander of the 67th Army, Lieutenant General Wu Keren, was awarded the First Class Baoding Medal, with the title of Lieutenant General added; 43rd Army Lieutenant General Guo Rudong, commander of the army, received the first-class Medal of Baoding, with the title of lieutenant general and general; Lieutenant General Gu Jiaqi, commander of the 128th Division, received the first-class Medal of Baoding with the title of lieutenant general; the three divisions under his command were the 108th Division, the 107th Division, and the 26th Division. Lieutenant general and division commander, third-class Medal of the Cauldron; major general and brigade commander of the Jiashan frontline brigades, the fourth-class Medal of the Cauldron; and colonel commander of the Jiashan frontline regiments, the fifth-class Medal of the Cauldron;

Lieutenant Colonel Tang Dao, the commander of the 88th Division's Fourth Line Battalion, was specially promoted to the first deputy director of the staff of the Jiashan Frontline Command and the commander of the Fourth Line Battalion. He was promoted to the rank of colonel and awarded the third-class Baoding Medal! Zhao Baoquan, commander of the Guard Battalion of the 108th Division of the 67th Army, was promoted to the rank of colonel, and was awarded the third-class Medal of Baoding; Zhou Dunhou, commander of the Guard Battalion of the 107th Division of the 67th Army, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and was awarded the fifth-class Medal of Baoding; the cavalry directly under the 67th Army Battalion Commander Gong Shaoxun was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel and awarded the fifth-class Medal of Baoding; Deputy Battalion Commander Lei Xiong of the Fourth Battalion was promoted to the rank of lieutenant-colonel and awarded the fifth-class Medal of Baoding."

There is a long list of people who have been promoted to military ranks and awarded medals for their meritorious service. Not only the chief officers of all armies, divisions, brigades and regiments were awarded medals, such as Li Jijin, Niu Er, Gu Xishui, Tudou, Cheng Dahe and Lu Sanjiang. Even the soldiers and low-level officers like Yao Meier who were specially written in the directory were not stingy. The Ministry of Military Affairs was not stingy. Basically, the victims were promoted to two military ranks and awarded the Baoding Medal of the corresponding level. Those who survived were promoted to one military rank and awarded the title of Loyalty and Bravery. medal.

Of course, the three commanders in the headquarters had no objections to themselves and other officers and soldiers. Those who died in battle were promoted to two ranks and received pensions according to their post-promotion ranks. The Ministry of Military Affairs must also be bleeding a lot.

As for medals or not, no one really pays much attention to them.

It's not that this medal is not good. The Baoding Medal is a medal second only to the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. It is specially awarded to soldiers who have made military exploits in defending against foreign aggression or suppressing civil strife. Getting one is enough to prove the honor of a soldier.

The reason why they are divided into grades one to nine is based on the level. The general officer level can get first to fourth level, the colonel level can get from third to sixth level, the lieutenant level can get from fourth to seventh level, and the soldier can get sixth level. Wait till ninth grade.

This thing is good, but for the officers and soldiers on the front line, it is just a moon in the mirror. They have to survive to get it back alive. Now, it just sounds good.

There is no big problem with the whole army, the only problem is the reward of Tang Dao.

What is the first deputy director of the Jiashan Frontline Staff Department? What is that? The Jiashan Frontline Command is just a temporary organization. After this battle, it will have to be cancelled. That also means that Tang Dao, who has made such a great contribution, has gained nothing but a promotion to the rank of colonel and an illusory third-class Baoding Medal. .

Originally, according to the ideas and suggestions of these three people, the level of the Four Elements Battalion was upgraded to the regiment level. Even if Tang Dao did not make a rocket jump into the ranks of generals this time, he would still be able to become the chief officer of the regiment level and enter the ranks in one fell swoop. The ranks of middle and senior military officers.

The theater headquarters has already agreed with this opinion and agreed to recommend it to the Ministry of Military Affairs. After all, they have also benefited a lot from it. From deputy commander to chief of staff to chief of staff, they have won the first and second class Baoding Medal in vain.

No one would refuse this modest favor.

As a result, when this happened, it would be strange if the three army lieutenant generals who were given the title of general did not feel depressed.

But at this moment, the two people who had finished their suffocation laughed. The Lieutenant General of the Hunan Army, who had a straightforward personality and rarely turned around, naturally wanted to know the reason.
