Rise from eight hundred.

The Ministry of Military Affairs is stingy with money and food, but it is generous with medals.

Not to mention the medals such as Baoding and Loyalty, which were issued to colonels, lieutenants and soldiers, twelve medals of the Blue Sky Medal were issued at once, from the commander of the theater to the commanders of each group army to the chief officers of the fifth division and one regiment participating in the war. None of them are bad.

As the main force that defeated the 21st Division and participated in the encirclement and annihilation of the 39th Infantry Brigade, the Fourth Line Regiment was considered the biggest winner in terms of medals in the Shandong Counterattack. The number of various medals issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs alone was as high as 800, with a ratio of almost Ten to one.

However, in front of all the generals, Tang Dao gently hung the Blue Sky Medal that the director of the Lieutenant General's Staff Office had just hung on his chest on a tombstone.

"This soldier's name is Hei Wa. Yes, I only know his nickname, and I don't even know his name. He is a new soldier our regiment recruited in Xuzhou in January.

I have an impression of him when I asked the recruits during the training of the recruit company: Do you know why you must firmly resist Japan and fight against the Japanese devils?

Some people said that they wanted to avenge their relatives, some said they wanted to fight back to their hometown, and some said that we are Chinese and we should not let little devils steal our things. Only Heiwa answered me: I want to eat enough!I want my family to survive.

Really, when I heard this sentence, as the leader of the Four Elements Group, I burst into tears.It's not because what he said is honest and true, but because my country and the nation are in such misery that even having enough to eat has become a luxury for ordinary people, so that an ignorant young man like him was willing to sell his young life.

He is very good. Although he did not understand the principles of protecting the country and the nation before joining the army and just wanted to use military salary to support his family, he has been training hard in the army and joined the 3th Company of our 7rd Battalion with extremely excellent training results. A private.

He was still a new recruit and did not catch up in the Battle of Licheng, but he caught up in the battle of the Second Mixed Brigade that annihilated Yamashita, and killed 4 Japanese soldiers and captured three guns, and was awarded third-class military merit once.

In this battle of Niangziguan, he and his comrades in the infantry squad used one infantry squad to block the successive attacks of two Japanese infantry squadrons until reinforcements arrived.

His mission was accomplished, he died, and there were only two people left in the infantry squad! "

Yes, he was a very ordinary soldier, and he never performed any earth-shattering heroic deeds on the battlefield. The only thing he did was to receive military orders and then execute them until the end of his life!

The infantry squad belonging to the Seventh Company was awarded a collective military merit for this battle. All the officers and soldiers who died in the battle were awarded first- to third-class military merit and were the only ones in the whole regiment. However, the commander of the Seventh Company still believed that with their heroic performance, they were all awarded. The assessment is a first-class military exploit. "

Boss Cao, whose eyes were bandaged, and Tu Yunsheng, who was being carried on a stretcher but sitting upright, listened to Tang Tuanzuo's emotional narration, with tears streaming down his face.

Hei Wa was a soldier of their infantry squad, and the regimental commander had never forgotten their meritorious service.

"But the regimental political office is also very embarrassed when appraising merits. The conditions for appraising merits of our regiment have always been to seek truth from facts and based on military achievements.

Hei Wa was the first to die in the battle. He was hit in the chest by a shrapnel while he was shooting down the mountain under Japanese artillery fire. He had just emptied a magazine.

Therefore, he was only rated as third-class military meritorious service, and was not even on the list of honors awarded by the Military and Political Department this time. As the regiment leader, I could not change this result.

However, I have the right to transfer the medal that already belongs to me to him, so that his family will know that their child is a person who has made meritorious service to this country, and let future people know that they are a meritorious family! "

The whole place was silent!
Then, there was a thunderous applause.

Amid applause, Lei Xiong came out, Ye Chenghuan came out, Zhuang Shisan came out, and more and more soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment came out to hang the precious medals they had just received on the tombstones of those who had not received meritorious service!

They were born ordinary, but died great, they deserve it!

This later became a practice of the Four Lines Regiment. Medals issued by the Military and Political Department will basically be given to the victims. If conditions permit, they will be mailed to their homes. If conditions are not met, they will be kept in the political office of the regiment for the time being. When there is an opportunity, special personnel will be dispatched to deliver them in the future. Return home.

For this purpose, Tang Dao also invested a huge amount of money and asked the boss Qian, who was already closely tied to the Four Lines Regiment, to build a carriage and horse shop. It did not transport anything else, but specifically delivered pensions and rewards to the families of the officers and soldiers who died in the Four Lines Regiment!

Even if it is not an enemy-occupied area, the shipping fee for delivery by hand is more than 20 oceans, but Tang Dao believes that it is all worth it.

"Salute!" Following Commander Liu's roar, the Chinese soldiers watching the ceremony all paid tribute to the sacrificed and still alive officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment.

"Salute!" Tang Dao raised his right arm.

Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment performed a military salute.

This is a return gift to our comrades and a farewell to our fallen comrades!
After this farewell, we will meet again, and we will be here again.

Many years later, Boss Cao, who has become the deputy director of the Martyrs Cemetery Management Office, will always take the trouble to tell the people who come to pay homage and visit this scene. The director is still his old leader, Tu Yunsheng, who has broken both legs.

After the war, these two men who fought with the Japanese army in an invincible state were awarded the extremely rare "Special Merit" medal in the Four Lines Regiment. The pure gold medal was not only in the Seventh Company, but also in the Four Majors. Infantry battalions are extremely rare.

According to the internal regulations of the Four Lines Regiment, even if the two of them retired due to injuries, they could stay in Dakouzidong Town or a military factory for retirement, but these two people depended on the Seventh Company for life and death, which made the veteran oily lose his temper.

In the end, Tang Dao gave the order, ordering them to rebuild the infantry squad that had been named the Qingfeng Mountain Hero Squad.

This magical infantry squad has since had a squad leader with a broken leg and a deputy squad leader with only 0.1 vision in one eye. Both the squad leader and the deputy squad leader have the rank of first-class sergeant major. The infantry squad has a staff of 23 people, both the squad leader and the deputy squad leader. Not to mention his own orderlies, he also has an additional MG42 machine gun unit!
It was also the first infantry squad in the Fourth Line Regiment to be equipped with an MG42 machine gun. The infantry squad was also the first to be equipped with the individual rocket launcher later developed by the company. This became Li Jijin's favorite thing to show off in his life, and was later promoted to battalion commander. The battalion commanders have not been able to refute it.

Except for a light machine gun and a heavy machine gun group, an individual rocket launcher group, and a rifle grenade group, all the other individual soldiers in this infantry squad are equipped with semi-automatic rifles. In the past, only sergeants were eligible to install the Black Star pistol, but this squad has 10 handfuls.

In terms of light firepower alone, this squad is enough to beat two Japanese infantry squads, the absolute NO.1 of the Four Elements Regiment.

But those are the honors and strength that were exchanged for life, and envy alone cannot win them.

It is estimated that the third squad of Lao Abacus can be slightly rivaled by them. The infantry squad of Lao Abacus, Tudou and Yang Bicheng who returned from injury after annihilating the second mixed brigade also has a name, the third squad of Gushan Interdiction Special Forces.

Wei Donglai spared no expense in building this infantry squad. Without increasing the number of troops, he removed the light machine guns and added an MG34. The entire squad was equipped with semi-automatic rifles, and the firepower was also fierce.

However, it is not that easy for other infantry companies to follow this example and create sharp knife squads. According to the regulations of the Four Lines Regiment Headquarters, only hero squads and platoons with their own names have such qualifications. Others must strictly follow the rules set by the regiment. Personnel and equipment!
October 10th was originally the day designated by the Four Elements Regiment to award military merits and celebrate their achievements, but Tang Dao, as the regiment leader, did not appear at the scene.

The explanation from the regiment headquarters was that the regiment leader had a distinguished guest to accompany him, but at this time, Tang Dao was already riding in a transport convoy.

Tang Tuanzuo, who no longer wore a military uniform but wore a green robe and a top hat, looked like a business owner, if there wasn't a blond girl next to him wearing breeches and riding boots who looked like a western cowboy.

The four-element group did indeed have a distinguished guest. Miss Laura of the Rockefeller family somehow managed to pass through the fighting zone of both sides to the second war zone in the name of the Western observation group, which shocked the stingy old man.

These days, stingy old men have been agitated because a certain regiment member stole the name of a certain brigade commander and made a statement about "wanting to kick the head of a Japanese army major general." However, those Western reporters who shouted "human rights" every day were too weak to bother with the cruel Japanese. They just clung to this point and asked questions like stingy old men.I originally thought that this little foreign girl with the title of heir to a consortium was also here to cause trouble, but I didn't expect that she said that she wanted to come to see the living conditions of the people in the Chinese war zone, and could also help apply for international assistance according to the specific situation.

As soon as they heard that there was help, even if it was from the private sector, the Military Commission asked the Second War Zone to receive it well. The stingy old man dared to neglect it. To show his concern, he, the commander of the war zone, accompanied him to several places.

Without thinking, we walked to a few places. The little foreign girl was not afraid of high mountains and dangerous roads, and actually said she was going to the southeast of Shanxi. When the stingy old man mentioned where to go, the first thing he thought of was Tang Dao's Four Elements Group, and he immediately ordered Tang Dao to receive them well.

What the stingy old man was thinking about was that the Four Elements Group was stationed in Dakouzidong Town, a little foreign girl who had never seen much of the world and who was so poor that Tang Dao knew how to cheat. A little international aid.

Those are all colorful and beautiful knives, not to mention hundreds of millions, but hundreds of thousands is also possible.

As for whether the money will be turned into materials, as those Westerners who engage in charity want to do, we will wait until the money is available.

It is said that the geese have been plucked. In this era, it is actually good for ordinary people to see some hair, but the geese have long since disappeared.

The stingy old man's idea was quite good, but the only thing he missed was that Tang Da Tuanzuo was not able to deceive, but he was too good at deceiving.

The little foreign girl just arrived at Dakouzidong Town in the evening and stayed for only one night. She then sent a message saying that she was going to Jiangcheng, where the war was going on. She said that only there could see the real scenes of people's lives during the war. She also requested an armed escort and asked by name. Commander Tang of the Four Elements Regiment personally escorted them.

When God of Wealth opens his mouth, who dares to say no?And now that the Japanese army has just been defeated, it is estimated that they will not dare to make trouble in the short term. After a series of orders, Tang Tuanzuo and a cavalry platoon under his command became the escort team of the Western Observation Group. Tang Dao also took a month to visit relatives. I hope to take this opportunity to go back to Sichuan Province to visit relatives.

With the opportunity to win the Jindong Counterattack, who would make things difficult for a warrior like Tang Dao, whether it is the 22nd Army or the Second Theater Command, especially the stingy old man who still hopes that Tang Dao will accompany the foreign girl? Miss Laura has promised that half of the aid will be used to support the lives of the people in the Second War Zone.

When Tang Dao heard that Laura was coming, how did he feel?It's like falling asleep and meeting a pillow --- wishing for it.

Of course, it has nothing to do with whether the little foreign girl grows up or not. The key is that he has to have an excuse to temporarily leave the Second War Zone for a while.

After the air battle, Tang Dao promised Shen Chonghai that he would rush to Jiangcheng in person after the war to support Chen Ping on behalf of the generals of the Eastern Shanxi Frontline Command.

A few days ago, Shen Chonghai had informed Tang Dao by telegram that the battle in Central China had slowed down a bit, and he was ready to set off to send his comrades home. Tang Dao had to keep his promise and rush to Jiangcheng.

Are you still worried about finding an excuse to take leave from the war zone? Well, the opportunity will come!

As for what he said about investigating the living conditions of the people in the war zone, Tang Dao just thought, in these war-torn times, it is normal to just find a place and eat wild vegetables with chaffy leaves, and you need to go to the mountains specially!

Little foreign girl, this is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking!I'm afraid this trip is specifically for Tang and the Four Elements Group!
Sure enough, Tang Dao's guess was absolutely correct.

Although the little foreign girl who arrived on the night of the 9th was very shrewd, she was the opponent of Tang Tuanzuo who had gone through war like a wolf and fox. It didn't take long for her to tell her true purpose with great embarrassment.

It turns out that Tang Tuanzuo’s penicillin patent, the hen that can only lay golden eggs, has been targeted!
Of course, there is no consortium in the United States that has the courage to touch the Rockefeller Consortium's cake. Those who are eyeing the patent rights come from forces within the consortium, another group of forces headed by the little foreign girl's uncle.

"The profit sharing of nearly 2 million U.S. dollars a year, the huge wealth is enough to confuse most people. But I will use the observation mission to raise aid funds to return to China and fight for your interests, but your interests will definitely be affected. Damn, Don, I’m sorry!” Laura apologized sincerely.

"Well, this is human nature, I can completely understand it!" Tang Dao nodded and grinned slightly. "But I don't accept it!"

Then he said meaningfully: "On the African savannah, jackals never dare to take food from lions' mouths! In the United States, I will go for a walk."

Facing Tang Dao who was calmly facing the situation, Laura felt chills in her back, as if a giant beast had opened its bloody mouth in front of her, and any creature that dared to challenge him would be swallowed by it.

"Don, I promise, I will use all the power left to me by my grandfather to help you safeguard your interests!" Laura tried to suppress her fear and promised in vain.

"That's something to talk about later, Miss Laura, I need you to do me a favor."

With Laura's help, Tang Dao had a legitimate reason to leave.

Originally, Tang Dao hoped to take Tantai Mingyue with him and return to Sichuan Province to visit relatives after going to Jiangcheng, so as to show his parents his future daughter-in-law. After a year of war, the two had very little time to be alone together. By the way, You can also relax your mind.

When she heard that she wanted to meet her future in-laws, Tantai Mingyue was actually very moved. Although Tang Dao also wrote a book and sent it home saying that the two were engaged, and the family also wrote back with a gold bracelet to express their approval, but after all, no in-laws confirmed it face to face. There are some shortcomings, but this is a perfect opportunity.

However, after thinking for a long time, Tantai Mingyue still shook her head and refused.

The Jindong counterattack is over, but the battle for the medical company is still going on!
Hundreds of seriously injured people are still struggling on the line of life and death. Penicillin has allowed many seriously injured people to survive the death of wound infection. However, blood loss, musculoskeletal necrosis and other complicated diseases need to be overcome by medical staff.

There are even cases where injured people who have lost limbs cannot accept that they have become disabled and choose to commit suicide after recovering to a certain extent. These require careful care and psychological comfort from medical staff.

If she, the medical company commander, is not here, all the work will be left to Erya, the deputy company commander.

During the battle at Niangziguan, in order to prevent Tantai Mingyue from rushing to the front line to reduce the danger, Erya repeatedly led medical soldiers into the front line by example. She was hit twice by shrapnel. Fortunately, it was not a critical injury, and she has not yet fully recovered. How could Tantai Mingyue bear to let his thin shoulders shoulder such a heavy responsibility again.

What's more, it wasn't until Erya was injured this time that Tantai Mingyue, who took care of her personally, finally decided to take a look at the steely straight man's fiancé. Tantai Mingyue sighed silently and shook her head in rejection.

Seeing what Tantai Mingyue said, Tang Dao had no choice but to stop forcing it and took a painting of "Taihang Mountains" painted by himself from Lao Tantai. Quan regarded it as a gift from the in-laws to each other, and took Lu Sanjiang and him with him. A platoon of reconnaissance cavalry, Ming Xin, Niu Er, and Long Yan carrying a long sword.

Although Long Yan is not a member of the reconnaissance company, but now he is doing well in the reconnaissance company, who made him have a brother-in-law of the sixth brother for sure!

Who doesn't know now that Peng Laoliu will survive in the end, but the result is that the beautiful female-headed woman has been taking care of her for half a month, otherwise Peng Laoliu would be reduced to bones even if he was not cremated!

Aiwujiwu, Mingxin liked Long Yan very much, and taught him several powerful sword skills. Even if he wanted to follow him to see Jiangcheng, Mingxin would help Tang Dao speak.

For the sake of Peng Laoliu and Long Ying, Tang Dao took him with him.

But this kid is really smart. After only one night of special training, he was barely able to ride a horse and keep up with the skilled cavalry.

The group arrived at the Yellow River Ferry in just two days, crossed the Yellow River and entered Shaanxi Province, completely escaping from the war zone.

On the fifth day, we entered Hubei Province!
On the seventh day, arrive in Jiangcheng!
