I rise from the sword

Chapter 281 Obtaining the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal
“此外，第33军第71师288团团长钱悦、新编第200旅399团团长雷震……”

"The 8 people on the above list took the lead in this battle and fought bloody battles against the Japanese invaders. Unfortunately, they died for the country with their own lives. They are posthumously awarded the rank of major general!"

Hearing the names of these sacrificed officers, everyone in the headquarters stood up, took off their military caps, and bowed their heads in silence for a few seconds.

In this era of troubled times and wars, almost all those who were able to join the combat troops as officers above the regiment level had experienced the hail of bullets and climbed out of the mountain of corpses in the sea of ​​blood.

Although they are used to seeing life and death, it is inevitable that they feel sad at this moment.

"Sit down!"

Fu Yisheng put on his military cap and motioned for the others to sit down.

Everyone was silent for a moment, Fu Yisheng turned his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Yang Lin.

"Yang Lin!"

"To!"

Yang Lin suddenly got up.

Fu Yisheng looked at Yang Lin with a full face of approval, and said, "You and your Zhongrui regiment have made great contributions to this Wenshuiguan victory. The committee will not only award your military exploits to the three armed forces, but also hold a press conference." Yes, a nationwide campaign was carried out.

Now you and you and the Zhongrui regiment are already famous all over the world, and you have become the god of war in the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies. I hope you can continue to set an example in the days to come, bravely kill the enemy, and promote our army's prestige! "

Without arrogance or impetuosity, Yang Lin replied modestly: "It is both pleasant surprise and frightening to be rewarded and praised by all the officers for a humble position.

At present, the Japanese invaders are ferocious, and the mountains and rivers are broken. Because our soldiers are incompetent and unable to resist the enemy invaders outside the country, tens of millions of people are bullied and slaughtered by the enemy invaders, and finally their families are destroyed and displaced.

However, defending the country, defending the nation's dignity is the duty of a humble job, and the enemy has not been driven out at this moment, so the humble job really dare not be greedy for credit..."

Yang Lin's words were not out of modesty. As a time traveler, he could never forget this humiliating history.

The hatred for the Japanese devils is engraved in his bones, and he will never forget it!

Not only him, but almost every son and daughter of China, it is impossible to forget this history of humiliation, let alone forgive the numerous crimes committed by the little devil on the land of China.

Forgive the little devils, that is the business of the martyrs, and as the sons and daughters of China, what we have to do is to send these little devils to meet our martyrs!
Fu Yisheng nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Commander Yang is right. Soldiers should be proud of defending their homes, defending their country, defending their territory, and opening up borders, instead of thinking about getting promoted and getting rich!"

Almost all the officers and generals present were deeply impressed by Yang Lin's impassioned words with the safety of the world in mind.

Although there are very few people who think in their hearts that Yang Lin is just pretending to be a sensationalist, or even cut off their promotion path, they dare not show it at the moment.

"Crack, clap clap..."

Under the leadership of Chief of Staff Xu Bin, all the officers and generals in the headquarters applauded, and the applause was thunderous for a while.

After a while, the headquarters gradually quieted down, and Xu Bin, the chief of staff, solemnly announced: "This time, our army was able to defeat the powerful enemy and greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese invaders. Yang Lin and the Zhongrui regiment contributed a lot!"

"In view of Yang Lin's outstanding military exploits, Yang Lin was specially appointed as an army colonel and awarded a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal with 50 silver dollars.

In addition, in the second war zone, we will fully support Yang Lin in rebuilding the Zhongrui Regiment. The necessary supplies such as food, fodder, ordnance, etc. will be given priority. No one or any unit may refuse to refuse under any excuse! "

It must be explained here that the ranks of the national army are divided into two types.

One is the official military rank and the other is the official military rank. There is a big difference between the two.

The official military rank is issued by the chairman of the national government. Once appointed, it will be valid forever and will not change with the change of position. Unless promoted or degraded, most of these military ranks will be published in the communique of the national government.

However, there are changes in the military rank of the position. As the name suggests, the military rank will vary with the change of the position. Correspondingly, if the position changes, the military rank will also change, that is to say, the military rank is temporary, and this rank is issued by the chairman of the military committee.

What are the benefits of the national government's implementation of military ranks in the army? First, it can allow officers to take on more responsibilities, which is convenient for managing and commanding troops in combat. Second, it can avoid excessive senior military ranks after the war. Third, it can adjust the interests of officers of different factions, which is conducive to mobilizing their enthusiasm. .

We feel that the confusion is also caused by the rank of the job.

For example, Dai Yunong was officially appointed as a major general in March 1945, but he had been wearing the military uniform of a lieutenant general before. This is because the rank corresponding to his position is a lieutenant general, and he officially became a lieutenant general after his death. was posthumously given.

Strictly speaking, the colonel of the army is actually much better than the colonel.

Especially for generals, the gap is even more obvious.

Because the official military rank is much more difficult to promote than the official military rank.

……

The book is back to normal.

Yang Lin was awarded the rank of colonel and a reward of 50 silver dollars, which all the officers could understand.

But getting the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal was something that the Chinese military officers never expected.

Because this medal is so difficult to obtain, it almost represents the highest honor for a soldier!

The most important thing is that Yang Lin is the head of a small colonel.

Although, on top of the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, there is also the Guoguang Medal.

However, before October 1949, only two people had received the Guoguang Medal, one of whom was the chairman of the committee, and the other was Fu Yisheng.

Therefore, the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal is almost the highest level of search a soldier can obtain, and it naturally represents the highest honor for a soldier!

So far, there are not more than a hundred people who have won this medal, and even Fu Yisheng has just won it not long ago.

None of the rest of the people present got it.

Therefore, with Yang Lin's concentration, Rao was a little dazed, and even forgot to go forward to receive the medal.

"Yang Lin, Captain Yang..."

Fu Yisheng understood this excitement very well. He reminded a few words with a smile, and then took the shining medal and put it on Yang Lin's chest himself.

It wasn't until this moment that Yang Lin suddenly realized.

"Thank you, Commander Fu! Thank you and the theater for your cultivation, I will continue to fight the enemy bravely and serve my country!"

Yang Lin stood upright, received the medal, and then quickly sat down.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Lin's excitement just now was not entirely due to the award of the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal.

It's because the reward given by the system prompt is too explosive.

So much so that he was completely surprised!
