Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 962

Chapter 962: Envy drools down!

Morning of March 29, 1938!

The Si Xing Regiment held a medal ceremony for the Si Xing Regiment in a valley called Wild Wolf Valley, four miles away from the regiment headquarters.

Tang Dao, as the supreme commander of the Four Lines Regiment, will personally award medals to the 10 officers and soldiers who have achieved first-class military merit.

As the host, it was Ye Chenghuan, director of the Political Training Department of the New Science and Technology Regiment, who read out the list of meritorious service and awards. This could be regarded as pushing the commander of the main force of the 80th Army in front of all the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment.

Moreover, Director Ye and Deputy Commander Lei will award medals to the 32 recipients of 'Second Class Military Merit', and Deputy Commander Gong and Chief of Staff Zhuang will award medals to the recipients of 'Third Class Military Merit'. Battalion Commanders Guo Shouzhi and Leng Feng awarded medals to the winners of the "Fourth Class Military Merit".

The ranking of several chief officers in the regiment is basically determined in the minds of the officers and soldiers.

This time it wasn't all about shouting. The communications company that was being organized had already connected the wires two days ago, used the diesel DC generator, and built a loudspeaker. The sound was enough to make people sit cross-legged in the field. Thousands of soldiers on the plains of Wolf Valley heard it clearly.

Ye Chenghuan is from Henan Province. He read out the names of those who have achieved first-class military merit in a strong Henan Province accent, and included the reasons for their achievement.

“In this battle of Jindong, the winner of the first-class military merit of our Four Lines Regiment!”

“Go out with a clear mind!”

“Senior soldier Ming Xin killed the Japanese invaders Fifteen in the XC area of Licheng, and effectively prevented the Japanese invaders from driving our people in Licheng to the front line of fire. He is rated as a first-class military merit!”

“Rob out of the queue!”

“Sergeant Luo Bu killed 8 Japanese invaders in the North District of Licheng, and led a team to seize more than ten pieces of machinery and equipment in Lucheng. He was rated as a first-class military merit!”

In the end, the original special forces squadron became the biggest winner of the entire four-line regiment. Four people were selected for first-class military merit alone, but the other six were divided among the three infantry battalions and Cheng Tietsou's 2nd artillery company.

Leng Feng's 3rd Battalion, which was the first to break through the south gate, had two people selected, followed by Cheng Tietshou's 2nd Artillery Battalion, which also had two people. Lei Xiong's 1st Battalion and Guo Shouzhi's 2nd Battalion only got one spot each.

But even the tyrannical Lei Xiong had nothing to argue with. The special forces of the special squadron sneaked into the county in squads, groups, and even as individual soldiers. Kuroko's eight-man squad actually had to complete the attack on at least one Japanese infantry squad. The seemingly impossible task of defending a fortress.

However, they did a very good job and successfully cut off the connection between the Japanese defense forces on all four walls and the headquarters. As a result, they were leaderless and unable to organize a systematic defense, and in the end they could only be defeated one by one.

To break through a county town defended by a thousand people, as well as city walls and other solid fortifications, no more than 30 people were killed in the two infantry battalions of the Four Lines Regiment. This can be called a miraculous result, and the role of special forces accounted for 7% ten.

Moreover, the number of enemies they killed was even more difficult for ordinary infantry to match. If Tang Dao had not considered the mood of other troops, there would even be several more to this level of military exploits.

Cheng Tietsou's 2nd Artillery Battery has nothing to say. They shot down several Japanese planes and avenged the friendly 769th Regiment. Not to mention, they also chilled the Japanese Army Air Force and did not dare to come back easily. The skies above Jindong created good conditions for the Fourth Army Regiment to dispatch large-scale manpower to transport materials.

To this end, the young leader of the 769th regiment specially asked Tang Dao to bring a letter to Cheng Tieshou, saying that he owed Cheng Tieshou a favor and that if he had a chance to meet him in the future, he would treat him to a big drink.

The officers and soldiers whose names were called walked up to the wooden rostrum that was built overnight one by one. The soldiers sitting neatly under the stage were all envious as they looked at the golden medals that Tang Dao wore on them one by one.

Shen Laoliu, who did not get first-class military merit but only won second-class military merit, was even more envious.

It's okay if you don't envy me!

It seems that the officers have said that the base of the commemorative medal awarded for this level of military merit is made of pure gold. The gold used alone weighs one tael. It does not have much commemorative significance or honor. The value of this gold alone, Both exceed 200 oceans.

"Chief Steak, tell me, if I do that stupid boy's task, can I also get a medal to wear?" Shen Laoliu whispered to Niu Er's ear.

Originally, Niu Er was the team leader, but the special squadron will soon be reorganized into a reconnaissance company. The three platoon leaders, Heizi and Niu Er, will definitely occupy two of them. The remaining one will depend on the two leaders, Lao Hei and Gu Xishui. Who has been elected?

However, this has little to do with Shen Laoliu, who performed outstandingly on the battlefield. Shen Laoliu, who had already confirmed that he had won the second-class military merit, did not choose to be promoted to military rank, but was promoted to military pay level.

Being a second lieutenant officer, he has to manage dozens of people under his command. Shen Laoliu's head hurts just thinking about it. It would be more worry-free to be a marksman in the firepower team.

But just because he doesn't want to be promoted doesn't mean that Shen Laoliu doesn't want to make money. The gold alone for a medal costs more than 200 oceans, which is faster than earning money from anything else. He is giving a briefing to his future platoon leader. Remember to send him if there is any good job in the future.

The fact that even Brainless Rob can win first-class military exploits has convinced this old man that choice is more important than hard work.

Just like he chose to be a Tang Dao soldier, if he made a wrong move, he would not know where to stand on the battlefield at this moment! Then there is the thought of trying to make a lot of money now.

"Brother Shen, just keep your eyes on the medal made of gold! How about we change places and you make your own arrangements, maybe you will get some first-class military exploits." Faced with the subtext of the veteran, Niu Er smiled faintly.

“Then don't change it, you can't change it, you absolutely can't change it!” Shen Laoliu shook his head repeatedly.

There is also a principle for this military merit evaluation. If you are an officer and are qualified to be evaluated for first-class military merit, unless your military merit is so brilliant that it cannot be reduced, you will automatically be downgraded by one grade.

In Tang Dao's original words: "You are an officer. Commanding battles to victory is your duty as a commander. You can't become an officer and still get military exploits. All the benefits should be taken by you alone!"

Heizi and Niu Er, who originally had outstanding military exploits, were completely eliminated from the first-class and second-class military exploits due to this reason, and were reduced to third-class military exploits.

An infantry company commander like Li Jijin, who was the first to rush into Licheng with his infantry company, was even worse. His soldiers could not count on one hand the number of first-class, second-class, and third-class military exploits. The infantry company commander was awarded a fourth-class consolation prize for military merit.

Especially in those few days, I heard that first-class military merit medals are made of gold, second-class military merit medals are half gold and half silver, third-class military merit medals are mostly silver, fourth-class military merit medals are all bronze, and Li Dalian, who has always been stingy, has a black face. of.

It is inevitable for the officers to be dissatisfied, but the soldiers who occupy the main body of the Four Lines Regiment are rejoicing. As long as the officers do not compete with them for credit, they will dare to risk their lives to fight for it without worrying about their own death. , but the credit belongs to others.

Of course, Tang Dao and several senior officers had set an example before this. Officers above the rank of colonel were not allowed to participate in the selection of military merit. The lieutenants still had a chance, but no one could say this.

Moreover, almost all captain-level officers were promoted by Tang Dao. Veteran Youzi Li Jijin felt heartbroken that he would never get this kind of gold medal in the future, but he never said a word about Tang Tuanzuo on any occasion. no.

This is Tang Dao's current prestige in the Four Elements Regiment. If it were anyone else, even if he wanted to stand on the side of the majority of officers and soldiers, he would not be able to overwhelm this group of tough backbones.

“Also, Brother Shen, you thought you only lost a gold medal!” Niu Er said, looking back at the stage with envy.

“What else are you sending?” Seeing Niu Er's attitude, Shen Laoliu suddenly felt bad.

It seems that he has missed something important.

Just after Tang Dao personally put the ten medals on the chests of the ten soldiers, he took a step back with a smile and looked at the ten bravest soldiers under his command.

The soldiers headed by Ming Xin stood at attention and were about to perform a military salute, but they saw Tang Dao smiling and waving his hands: "Don't worry, this is the first time our regiment has evaluated the military merit level. The regiment commanders and I attach great importance to it. , I have prepared a special gift for you ten! It doesn't use the regiment's money, it uses my personal military salary.”

After saying that, he clapped his hands, and ten soldiers from the signal company walked up, each holding a tray, and stood at attention in front of the ten soldiers.

The ten soldiers headed by Ming Xin on the stage were stunned at first, and then their eyes shone with joy.

Soldiers like Shen Laoliu in the audience wished they could turn into giraffes immediately to see what gifts the regimental commander had purchased with his personal military pay. In Li Jiujin's sour words: “Damn it, where did Tuanzuo, who has always been penniless, get the money? Isn't he afraid of being domestically assaulted by a Tantai reporter?”

As soon as he said these words, which were about to fall into the pickle vat, the surrounding soldiers collectively moved at least two meters away from the Dalian.

Because most of the soldiers had been shelled on the battlefield, regardless of whether their hearing was damaged or not, the habit of loud voices was retained, even if it was veteran Youzi talking sourly to himself.

Not far from their seventh company is the medical brigade. Although Captain Tantai is not here, the hearing of those female nurses is very good.

If Lao Li's words had reached the ears of Captain Tantai, the injured might not have been left unattended, but the chance of using a rougher approach was almost more than 99%, and the soldiers were not stupid.

Although it is too late, Da Ya, who has been in the army for half a month, actually heard it seriously. How dare he make fun of his own captain, the captain of the domestic violence regiment? I have already put Qilian on the blacklist in my heart.

Li Jiujin, who is so sour, would really cry if he knew that this was happening!

But in fact, when Tang Dao picked up one of them and introduced it to everyone in the audience, all the soldiers, including Shen Laoliu, cried with envy.

Those are nothing else, they are sabers, ten sabers designed by Tang Tuanzuo himself and forged with machine tools!

As soldiers, apart from their comrades, the person they trust the most is undoubtedly the weapon in their hands. However, the knife, a primitive murder weapon, undoubtedly belongs to the category of weapons that they trust and like.

　　The soldiers of the Si Xing Regiment are not short of guns now, but they are short of knives that can kill people and kill with ease.

Since the machine tools and generators were available, the first military factory in the Four Lines Regiment to determine its location had begun processing and production ten days ago.

The first thing to be mass-produced is the three-sided military spur!

The power of the triangular spur has proven its ferocity in the decades of war to come. As long as it is stabbed in the torso, the Japanese army will soon suffer from excessive blood loss and lose the ability to fight due to the huge wound.

However, having only the function of assassination is too single, especially in the increasingly complex battlefield environment in the future.

Tang Dao has long wanted to make a standard saber for use by soldiers performing special tasks.

It just so happens that four of the first ten people to win first-class combat merit are from the special squadron, and they all need this.

So Tang Dao found Teacher Xiao He and asked her to use the best steel to make a suitable saber according to her own design.

Of course, in Tang Dao's terms, this is his personal gift, and he paid for the work time and materials himself.

The current military factory is not like other units of the Four Elements Regiment. In addition to being affiliated to the Four Elements Regiment, it has its own independent system including personnel, property, etc. Tang Dao gives Teacher Xiao He the greatest autonomy. right.

Teacher Xiao He was also an impartial person. Seeing that Tang Tuanzuo was willing to pay, he immediately arranged for someone to process and add extra money to help him complete the saber he designed.

Although everyone has different preferences for knives, some knives can attract you instantly.

The knife sent by Tang Tuanzuo was completely black. The long blade was sharpened on both sides like a short sword, but it was slightly tightened at the handle. It made people almost forget that it was a knife, and it could kill people. The knife actually seems to be a handicraft.

Although every soldier knows that the whole body is pitch black to prevent the sharp blade from reflecting light, this kind of knife is used to kill people.

It's just that this knife is not just for killing people.

If you are a military enthusiast from the future, you may blurt out a name the moment you see this double-edged blade - European military obstacle removal knife.

Yes, Tang Dao did not choose the standard military knife of the future Republic, nor did it choose the most famous American tactical assault knife, but chose this standard obstacle-clearing knife.

Because the requirements for other sabers on machine tools and steel are too high and cannot be achieved at the current level. Instead of making a saber that is incompetent and incompetent, it is better to use a saber that is fully achievable with current technology to imitate it.

Like the European military obstacle-clearing knives in my memory, the newly produced saber blade is also made of a 6 mm thick steel bar, and then the blade is polished on a large-diameter roller grindstone to form a slight air-grinding edge shape. , on this basis, the final opening is completed by manual convex grinding.

It is characterized by being very sharp while maintaining a strong edge.

The steel used is the best steel currently available in the Four Lines Regiment. The barrel steel of the Type 89 tank is refined into steel bars in a furnace and then undergoes special heat treatment to give it amazing blade retention.

Only this kind of knife can cut through the barbed wire fence with one knife, and can also dig up the ground and pry out the mines buried in the ground.

The Tang Dao had already been tested when the sample knife was brought in a few days ago. This knife can penetrate an inch-thick steel plate and cut steel bars as thick as a little finger. Although the hardness of the steel is slightly less than that of the future, after Xiao He Thanks to the efforts of talented students like the teacher, it definitely lives up to the reputation of Tang Tuanzuo's copycat master and can definitely be called the best military obstacle-clearing knife of this era.

However, due to current conditions, some details still cannot meet the standards Tang Dao most hopes to achieve.

For example, the thread wrapped around the handle is currently made of twine commonly used in the mountains, which only has an anti-slip effect. If placed in the future, this coiled thread alone can make a big difference. It is not only sweat-absorbent and anti-slip, but also has a thin thread that is more than ten meters long. After the line is untied, it can still bear the weight of an adult and has a bearing capacity of at least 800 pounds.

However, this is already remarkable.

Just listening to Tang Dao's introduction of the functions and uses of this knife has already made the eyes of the "bumpkin" on and off the stage sparkle.

Gold medals seem to be less popular after the emergence of this kind of obstacle-clearing knife that is still in the experimental stage.

Of course they didn't know that Tang Tuanzuo paid a full 500 oceans for this. The cost of 50 oceans apiece was almost close to that of a twenty-shot shell gun.

Of course, Tang Tuanzuo doesn't have money now. He just wrote an IOU. If there is no money, then he will use the design drawing to pay the bill. Teacher Xiao He is not worried at all that Tang Tuanzuo will default on the debt. She is only worried that Tang Tuanzuo will have money. money.

For this reason, Teacher Xiao He secretly went to chat with Tantai Mingyue, and vaguely reminded her that men become bad as soon as they have money.

Tang Dao

Teacher Xiao He who went off track will never get back to his rhythm! Will he be punished for this?

Tang Dao's intuition was very good. From then on, he had to ask Erya to borrow money to buy cigarettes.

Luckily, Erya is generous, otherwise, Li Jijin and Xia Jiba would be half right.

Tang Tuanzuo, who is destined to lose his financial power, also announced at the meeting that due to steel problems, only so much can be produced at present. It will definitely be produced in the future, but the quantity will definitely be limited and will only be provided to those officers and soldiers with special military merit.

This completely ignited the venue. Many people were gearing up, planning to achieve first-class military exploits and get a saber to play with in the next battle.

However, while the soldiers focused on their medals and sabers, there was a young nurse who stared at a high-spirited and handsome man on the stage and gritted her thin teeth.

It turns out that the big liar is called Ming Xin! The rightful owner was finally determined.

Mingxin had black ash on her face when she entered Daya's room, and the sky was dark. Daya paid attention for half a month, but she couldn't find anyone similar to the person in her memory.

But the way Mingxin held the saber and smiled showing her white teeth was completely consistent with Da Ya's memory of that night.
