Chapter 147 Post-War Summary and Third Class Merit Award
Ding Wei, who was praised, scratched his head in embarrassment.

His embarrassed look was immediately caught by Battalion Commander Zhang Tianqiang, who said uncertainly:

"Don't tell me that this individual rocket was also fired by one of your new recruits?"

"It's only been more than half a month since you joined the company. Don't tell me that you have already taught these new recruits how to operate the individual rocket launcher?"

Listening to what Battalion Commander Zhang Tianqiang said, Ding Wei's expression became even more embarrassed.

I have never taught Xue Daochao how to use a personal rocket launcher. This guy figured it out on his own!
"Battalion Commander, I was the one who fired that individual rocket."

"I felt that the situation on the field was already very dangerous. If I didn't fire the individual rocket launcher, my comrades and my squad leader would be in danger of their lives."

"If there is to be a punishment, please punish me, Captain. It has nothing to do with my squad leader."

Xue Daochao stood up and said to Battalion Commander Zhang Tianqiang with a calm expression.

Zhang Tianqiang looked at Xue Daochao's calm appearance, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little dazed, as if he saw an old friend of his in Xue Daochao.

After a moment's pause, he replied:

"No, I won't punish you, that rocket of yours hit at a perfect time!"

"Your name is Xue Daochao, right? I heard your company commander Chen Tianjian talk about you. You are a talent in a special field. Our battalion is in great need of courageous and decisive soldiers like you. Welcome to the first battalion."

Zhang Tianqiang stood up, walked straight to Xue Daochao and extended his right hand towards him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Captain. I will work harder in the future."

Xue Daochao was somewhat flattered and shook hands with the battalion commander Zhang Tianqiang. He didn't expect that Zhang Tianqiang, the commander of a special reconnaissance battalion, already knew him in advance and took the initiative to shake hands with him.

"Well, I'm very optimistic about you, and so are you, Ji Baichang."

Battalion commander Zhang Tianqiang patted Ji Baichang on the shoulder and sat back in his main seat.

The video on the big screen has finished playing.

The person who performed the most heroically in the entire battle was naturally Lu Qinglong.

"Lu Qinglong, are you okay with your injury?"

Battalion commander Zhang Tianqiang looked at Lu Qinglong, and a worried expression was clearly visible on his face.

"Report to the battalion commander, my injury has fully recovered."

"After the opponent's bullet penetrated one person, most of its potential energy had already disappeared, so it ended up embedding in my muscles. I'm fine now."

"Yeah, I'm glad everything's fine."

Zhang Tianqiang breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in the main seat and said:
"I have seen your performance. When I return, I will report your situation to the brigade. I will apply for rewards for you three."

"Ji Baichang, Xue Daochao, although you two did not follow orders to fire, but considering that you were indeed killing the enemy, if the brigade does not give you the third-class merit, this year's two third-class merit quotas in the battalion will be given to you."

After Battalion Commander Zhang Tianqiang finished speaking, the instructors beside him were stunned and stared at Zhang Tianqiang in surprise:
"Old Zhang, are you serious? There are only four third-class merit vacancies in our battalion this whole year, and you're going to give two to the new recruits?"

"Don't talk about what I have already decided."

Zhang Tianqiang nodded seriously.

Being able to decisively fire a gun in such an environment, and launching rockets into the enemy crowd like Xue Daochao, is something that not ordinary recruits can do.

Even if these veterans were given the opportunity to shoot, I'm afraid most of them wouldn't be able to do it.

"Captain, what about Lu Qinglong?"

When Ji Baichang heard that he was awarded the third-class merit, his first reaction was not happiness, but to ask whether Lu Qinglong would get a reward.

After all, Lu Qinglong can be said to be a true god of war.

If it weren't for him, I'm afraid there would definitely be casualties in today's conflict, and countless border guards would be seriously injured.

It certainly won’t be like today, where the most serious injury suffered by the border guards was just a bruised knee.

"Lu Qinglong? He is a hero today. I will report this matter to the military headquarters in person. You don't have to worry about it."

Battalion Commander Zhang Tianqiang waved his hand and announced that today's meeting was over and they could go back and rest.

When Ji Baichang returned to the dormitory, he felt a little dreamy. He grabbed Xue Daochao beside him and asked excitedly:

"Lao Xue! I must be dreaming! The battalion commander just said he would give us a third-class merit!"

“Ahhh! Please slap me and let me see if I am dreaming!”

Well, since Ji Baichang said so, Xue Daochao would definitely not miss the chance to beat this guy up openly, so he would naturally give him a loud slap on the ass.

"Ow!"

"No! I was joking! Lao Xue, why are you really hitting me?"

Ji Baichang covered his face, and the pain told him that he was not dreaming! All this was real!
"Didn't you ask me to hit you? Are you awake? If not, I'll hit you again to see if you can wake up."

After Xue Daochao finished speaking, he was about to raise his hand again to wake Ji Baichang up.

This time, Ji Baichang directly stopped Xue Daochao:
"Wake up! Wake up! Stop fighting!"

The two people's playfulness actually added a lot of joy to the class. "Gather in the middle and tell us what happened in the valley just now."

Chen Ting moved a small stool and sat in the front row in the middle of the classroom.

Hearing Chen Ting's call for a gathering, the other veterans in the class, as well as the four new recruits, quickly gathered in the middle with their small stools.

In the past, if something happened in the class, Chen Ting would ask everyone to gather together to comment on what happened.

After they complete each task and return to the classroom, the first thing they do is to make a summary.

Summarizing shortcomings and making improvements has been a tradition of our army from the past to the present.

"Again, let me first talk about the two shortcomings of this mission."

"One is you, Lu Qinglong."

Chen Ting looked at Lu Qinglong and said seriously:
"Lv Qinglong, you have to listen to my instructions. I know you want to rush forward and kill more enemies, but you have to listen to me."

"If Xue Daochao hadn't violated discipline and fired rockets this time, disrupting the other side's plan to launch an attack backwards, you would have become a living target if you had rushed forward so far."

Chen Ting's words were not actually a reproach, but more of a teaching from an elder to a younger generation.

Tell him what he should do and what he cannot do.

Of course, it takes many times for people to teach others, but once is enough for things to teach people.

Today's incident really reminded Lu Qinglong that he should not be too reckless. He should not chase after two or three enemy companies alone just because he could only use cold weapons here.

"Squad leader, I know I was wrong. I will listen to your instructions next time."

Lu Qinglong nodded seriously to express his apology.

"Well, seeing that your attitude of reflection is pretty good this time, let it go."

"Engineer Ouyang is already using ceramic steel to try to make armor. When the time comes, you will need to go to the base at the foot of the mountain to help him record some of your body shape."

Chen Ting nodded and continued slowly:

"Okay, now let's talk about the second shortcoming."

"The second one is that Ji Baichang, you and Xue Daochao did not follow orders and opened fire directly."

"But I won't criticize you now. After all, you two have done a great job. If we go down later, this frontier base won't need us anymore."

"It is estimated that there will be many reinforced border defense companies coming here to supplement. Our reinforced platoon will return to the base at the foot of the mountain for unified training and then be assigned to the new battlefield."

"During this period, we will conduct some operations on the use of heavy weapons, including individual rocket launchers."

"Ding Wei."

Deputy Class Leader Ding Wei, whose name was suddenly called, immediately responded:
"I'm here, squad leader!"

"Go ahead and teach Xue Daochao a lesson. Doesn't he like to use a rocket launcher? Teach him everything you know."

"And the three veterans in your class, please take more responsibility for the training of the new recruits. From the looks of it now, we should be able to relax a lot."

"I won't mention the good things. By the way, Li Wa, you performed well too."

Chen Ting suddenly paused, stood up and patted Li Wa on the shoulder.

"You killed four enemies, right? Don't worry, I saw it all."

"I will also submit your application for the awards and honors at the end of this year."

"Thank you, squad leader! I don't need any reward, I just want to kill as many enemies as possible!"

Li Wa showed a simple smile on his face.

In fact, it would be a lie to say that he didn't care. When Li Wa first heard the other three people being praised, he felt a little envious.

But squad leader Chen Ting still remembered his expression on the battlefield, which made him feel a lot warmer in his heart, as if his dedication was worth it.

"Okay, that's all for today's class meeting. There's nothing else to do. You guys should wash up and have a rest early."

Chen Ting dismissed everyone in the class.

When they went to the washroom to rest one after another, they found that many veteran border guards looked at them differently.

"Come on, little brothers, big brothers, come and wash yourself at our faucet!"

"Come over here, we've left some hot water for you!"

These border guards seemed very enthusiastic. You know, at their altitude, washing with hot water is a luxury.

The boiled water they usually drink never reaches the boiling point, at most only about 70 degrees.

They usually use cold water to wash, and save the rare hot water for the weekend. On average, they don't take a bath once a month.

"No, no, thank you all, squad leaders. We'll just wash our faces and leave. You can keep the hot water for your use."
