1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 271 was awarded the first-class merit and the honorary title of battlefield literary and artistic pioneer!
Cheng Kaiyan frowned, his eyes fixed on Hong Jianguo.

He was sitting upright with a firm look in his eyes. He was wearing a neat pine green military uniform with dazzling gold stars on his shoulders and a military cap on his head. He had a dark face and pale complexion, and looked weak as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. There was a knot tied around his right sleeve, and there was nothing underneath.

Why is my right arm gone?

Cheng Kaiyan was in a heavy mood. He and Hong Jianguo were friends for life.

He saved Hong Jianguo's life in the canyon. On the rainy night when they were about to be surrounded, Hong Jianguo forced him to leave. Although he was seriously injured, he survived.

Otherwise, it is still unknown whether you can survive if you stay in the position and are surrounded or survive in the rainforest.

Cheng Kaiyan took a deep breath, sat next to Hong Jianguo, and asked with a complicated look: "Jianguo, what is going on?"

"My arm is gone... The bullet got lodged in the bone, and it was soaked in rain for a long time, so the wound became seriously infected. The doctor said it couldn't be saved, or my life would be in danger."

Hong Jianguo shook his head gently with a normal expression, but his voice was a little hoarse and dry.

I guess he feels bad too.

Seeing Cheng Kaiyan's solemn expression, he laughed, "Hey! It's good enough to be alive. How about you?"

After saying that, he reached out and patted Cheng Kaiyan on the back.

As soon as his hand touched Cheng Kaiyan's back, Hong Jianguo's expression changed. He felt a touch different from that on his back.

It seems to be gauze and blood scab...

"hiss!"

Cheng Kaiyan immediately gasped, and waves of tearing pain came over her, "You old man, you hit me so hard."

"Are you okay? Did the wound burst open?"

Hong Jianguo quickly withdrew his hand and asked with concern, "What are you doing..."

He had just come out of the hospital and had no idea what was happening outside, so naturally he had no idea about Cheng Kaiyan's injuries.

"It's okay. I've been recuperating for more than half a month."

Cheng Kaiyan shook her head with a relaxed look, and then briefly told Hong Jianguo what had happened.

"Haha! Good job, kid. Fortunately, I taught you some skills. You killed six Vietnamese monkeys and didn't bring shame to your master."

After hearing this, Hong Jianguo was shocked and admired him very much.

This is a one-on-one fight against six.

Of course, he didn't show it on the surface. He just laughed and looked like Cheng Kaiyan was a good disciple he had taught.

"Fuck your mother!"

Cheng Kaiyan kept laughing and scolding.

With the two of them deliberately joking around, the atmosphere finally became a little more relaxed.

"I'll count you in our company, and you'll receive first-class collective merit."

Hong Jianguo was laughing, then suddenly stopped and said.

"You...what are you doing?"

The series of news made Cheng Kaiyan a little confused, because she was not a soldier in their company.

"The leader saw your record of achievements in the canyon that day, so I tried to apply for it. After reporting it to higher authorities, it was actually approved."

Hong Jianguo looked at him softly and explained.

The army is extremely strict, especially when it comes to merit.

But they really approve of people like Cheng Kaiyan.

Moreover, any comrade who has made contributions on the front line is considered a soldier, which is the consensus of the entire army.

"..."

Cheng Kaiyan remained silent.

"Okay, don't be angry. We still have a mission later. Among the dozens of people left in our two companies, only eleven can go downstairs to attend the celebration meeting. You will come and gather the numbers to escort the military flag into the venue. In addition..."

Hong Jianguo patted Cheng Kaiyan on the shoulder and said, "Get ready. You will be the flag bearer."

"It's no problem to make up the numbers, but I'll be the flag bearer, what about you?"

Cheng Kaiyan asked with a frown.

In the military, escorting the military flag into the venue is a highly symbolic and highest etiquette.

This is a materialization of the flag as a "d command gun", binding the unit's achievements to the legitimacy of the army through ceremony.

Only units that have won first-class collective merit or received honorary titles are eligible to escort the military flag into the venue.

It just so happened that their company met the requirements.

As for the flag bearer, it represents the highest honor.

"Me? Look at me? Do I have what it takes to be a flag bearer?"

Hong Jianguo leaned sideways and put his empty right arm in front of Cheng Kaiyan, as if asking Cheng Kaiyan to touch it.

"We're both together."

Cheng Kaiyan put her hand on Hong Jianguo's shoulder, her tone firm.

The two stared at each other for a while, and Hong Jianguo grinned and said, "Okay, if you know, I'll go up and embarrass myself."

"This is an honor!"

……

During the conversation, the celebration meeting was about to begin.

An electric sound came from the loudspeaker, followed by a burst of passionate music in the huge parade ground.

It was the "March of the Volunteers".

The entire parade ground was filled with people, a sea of ​​green in black military uniforms.

But no one made any noise.

The atmosphere is quiet, solemn, dignified and sacred.

Side view of the podium.

One by one, the leaders slowly lined up and walked up to the podium in a marching pace, and sat down behind the long table covered with army green woolen cloth.

Until the music ends.

The leader held the microphone and announced solemnly:

"Comrades! Revolutionary fighters!"

"I declare! The celebration of the September 9.12th battle officially begins!"

The sound, with electricity and noise, echoed throughout the school grounds.

The sound shook the blue sky and white clouds, and the red flag on the flagpole fluttered.

Teams of participating units marched in an orderly manner from the side to be reviewed and receive personal commendations from their leaders.

……

As the leaders announced the results of the battles and heroic deeds, the audience erupted in thunderous applause.

in the crowd.

The place where Liu Xiaoli and her group are.

"Is it almost time to open the eyes?"

Liu Xiaoli raised her hand to block the glaring sunlight, leaned forward to look, her round and gentle almond eyes full of anticipation.

At this time, the girl's fair and pretty face was already covered with delicate and fragrant sweat, like the misty water vapor oozing out of cool white jade, clean and sweet.

The forehead and cheeks are dyed with black hair, like ink marks on jade paper, which is particularly elegant.

"Soon. He'll be with the 143th and th companies of the rd Regiment. They'll be the finale."

Ning Qiuyue and Jiang Ting looked ahead and explained.

Soon.

A voice came from the rostrum: "Please welcome the soldiers from the 143th and th companies of the rd Battalion of the rd Regiment!"

quickly!

A team of twelve soldiers in military uniforms appeared before them.

Black combat boots, white gloves, rifle on shoulder with bayonet.

The sharp and bright bayonet flashed coldly like water in the golden sunlight.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a series of neat and loud footsteps, they walked towards the center with steady steps.

“Kai Yan! It’s Kai Yan!”

"Flag!"

"The heroic spearhead company! The two companies of the 143th and th companies of the rd Regiment who held their ground against an enemy ten times their size and delayed time for the reinforcements!"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Two tall figures leading the way, holding high the military flags, instantly appeared in front of all the leaders, all the officers, and all the spectators.

One of them had an empty right arm, which made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.

The two men stood side by side, each stretched out one hand, holding up the military flag in their left and right hands.

The military flag embroidered with gold edges and bearing traces of war burns fluttered in the breeze like a rolling wave of blood, gleaming with a satin-like luster in the sun.

"Clap clap clap!"

In an instant, waves of applause came flooding in.

The trumpet blew "Salute" and everyone stood up and took off their hats to salute.

Where the military flag is, there are the heroic souls!
At this time, go to the center.

"Comrades!"

"In accordance with Military Order No. 1980 (27), I hereby declare that -

The 13th and 143th Companies of the 9.12rd Regiment of the th Combined Infantry Brigade fought bravely and without fear of sacrifice, and showed a courage and bravery that they were invincible in the September th Battle of .

Continuously resisting more than 2,000 enemy soldiers and holding their ground...

After verification, the company of more than 300 people killed 811 enemies, and 51 survived. "

"For this reason, the higher authorities have reviewed and decided that

Awarded the honorary title of 'Heroic Blade Company'! Collective first-class merit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out again.

Cheng Kaiyan, Hong Jianguo and a group of twelve people who were standing at the front of the crowd and undergoing inspection by the entire army could not help but have tears in their eyes.

But his hands continued to move, holding the gun, loading the gun, raising it, and pulling the trigger towards the sky.

Wherever the gunshots go, heroic souls gather.

Then the conference secretaries entered the venue holding red wooden boxes.

Medals of honor engraved with the words "August 1st" were worn on everyone's chest, shining brightly in the sun.

Then the soldiers left the field one by one.

But there was still one person left at the top, with an imposing manner and a straight military posture.

This scene left everyone very puzzled.

"Why hasn't this soldier come down yet? Is he unconscious?"

"Not sure, he's probably not unconscious."

……

The area where the art troupe is located.

"Isn't that Cheng Kaiyan? Why hasn't he come down yet?"

Zhuo Yun asked with some concern.

"Should he be waiting for the leader to commend him? After all, didn't he make a crucial contribution?"

Amy Yip explained on the side.

"Tsk... what key achievement? He just sent back information, which is at most a second-class merit. He doesn't think that the leader will give him a special commendation later, right?"

Xu Xing, who was not far away, heard the two people's worried words and sneered.

This kid is standing there alone like an idiot, waiting for the leader to present him with an award and medal?
Do you really think you have made a great contribution?

He was hoping that Cheng Kaiyan would make a fool of herself on the stage, and now he felt comfortable.

This Cheng Kaiyan is so funny. He is going to make a fool of himself.

"I feel good about myself. There are many people who have won second-class individual awards. Do you see how many soldiers have been awarded individually? This Cheng Kaiyan is really getting cocky."

Several followers around Xu Xing also echoed the sentiment, looking at the domineering figure in the distance as if they were looking at a clown.

In the crowd on the other side.

"What's going on? Why is Kaiyan standing there?"

Liu Xiaoli no longer thought about what contributions her partner had made. She was just worried that Cheng Kaiyan was violating a taboo by standing there.

Jiang Ting frowned, and there was a hint of worry on her calm face.

"Don't worry, it's definitely a first-class merit."

Ning Qiuyue comforted him softly, very calmly.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience at this time, and many people were curious why there was still someone up there.

But no one went up to stop the control, and the leaders on the rostrum were talking about something.

Everyone has different opinions.

At this time, the leader stood up and raised the microphone, "Please, Comrade Cheng Kaiyan, deputy leader of the field research team!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present fell silent.

Liu Xiaoli and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Xing and others on the other side had livid faces.

……

"Comrade Cheng Kaiyan encountered the enemy on August 24, 1980, bravely and fearlessly returned alone to pass on military intelligence, blow up the iron chain bridge, and delay the enemy's progress...

As a writer who writes about military life, he has the pride of a scholar, the courage of a hero, the passion to serve the country, and a determination without regrets.

After full deliberation and approval by the Southern Xinjiang Military Region, it was decided:
Awarded to Comrade Cheng Kaiyan——

First-class individual merit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience and the applause was like thunder.

Such a tragic hero, such a heroic man.

offstage.

"Damn it, how is that possible?!"

When Xu Xing heard this, he gritted his teeth and his heart sank to the bottom. This was truly a first-class individual achievement.

He stared at the handsome figure on the stage. The man turned around and stood still, saluting towards the podium and the audience below.

When his eyes swept over Xu Xing, there was no emotion in his eyes, nor any lingering moment.

With just one glance, Xu Xing felt that he was completely ignored.

He couldn't help but think of what Yang Shao had said just now in the cafeteria.

This may be true.

Cheng Kaiyan has never taken me seriously. It was like this when I was in the art troupe, and it is still like this now.

next second.

The leader continued what he hadn't finished saying: "At the same time, as a literary and artistic worker and the leader of the field research working group, you have adhered to your duties and worked together. The JW resolution specially awarded this title to Comrade Cheng Kaiyan——"

"Honorary title of pioneer in the literary and artistic battlefield!"

The moment he heard this, Xu Xing's face turned pale, his throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

The younger brothers around were panicked.

……

the other side.

"As expected of him!"

Liu Xiaoli stood on tiptoe and waved towards the stage with a red face.

Cheng Kaiyan on the stage had been paying attention to her, her aunt, and Sister Qingshui, so she smiled at them and waved high.

"Ah! Kaiyan waved at me!"

Liu Xiaoli soon noticed that many eyes were directed at her around her, and she felt both sweet and nervous inside.

Why is this person like this!
Jiang Ting and Lin Qingshui also smiled and waved at Cheng Kaiyan. As for Liu Xiaoli saying that she was looking at her, neither of them cared.

This is the art troupe.

"It is indeed a first-class merit. He went through life and death, and this is what he deserves."

"Yes, he has grown to this point..."

Zhuo Yun and Amy Yip looked at each other, filled with emotion.

After the celebration meeting came to an end.

At noon, Cheng Kaiyan went to the dormitory, wiped her body, and changed into cool clothes.

I called a few people from the field research team, and had a small meal in the cafeteria with Liu Xiaoli, my aunt, Lin Qingshui, Ning Qiuyue, Hong Jianguo and others.

Everyone enjoyed themselves while eating and chatting.

Of course no drinking.

After dinner, everyone dispersed.

Hong Jianguo took Cheng Kaiyan outside the door and chatted for a long time.

"I'm about to retire. Please leave me your address so I can send you a letter later."

Hong Jianguo looked into the distance, a cigarette in his mouth, and said with a deep gaze.

"Okay, if you have any questions, just come to me. I'm always here."

Cheng Kaiyan was silent for a moment. With a broken arm, he could no longer stay in the army. His best plan was to find a stable job through the army.

"No problem. Remember to call me when you get married, and I'll call you too."

Hong Jianguo glanced back at the gentle girl under the shade of the tree and joked with a grin.

"it is good."

Hong Jianguo is gone.

Zhu Sujin followed and said proudly: "Congratulations, Cheng Kaiyan, my work "Shooting the Wolf" has been completed and sent to Senior Liu Baiyu of the folk song collection team.

Besides, let’s meet at the essay contest. You said you’ll lose.

After saying that, he turned and left. He was a military writer and would not go back to BJ this time.

"wack."

Cheng Kaiyan shook her head.

Then he found Wang Anyi who had just come out and called out, "Comrade Xiao Wang."

"Hey!"

Wang Anyi trotted over with a look of surprise and let out a crisp "ah".

After being criticized by Liu Xiaoli last time, Wang Anyi was in a bad mood.

At this moment, Cheng Kaiyan took the initiative to find me, and I was in a very good mood.

"Thank you so much for bringing all my things back for me this time. It's really a bother for you."

Cheng Kaiyan thanked him sincerely.

"It's okay, we are all good friends, this little thing is nothing."

Wang Anyi waved her hand with a smile.

"By the way, where's my watch?"

Cheng Kaiyan went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Wang Anyi's face looked a little strange. She turned her eyes and suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure under the shade of a tree in the distance.

She snorted, "I'm really a forgetful person. I've already given your watch to that person. Go find her."

"what?"

"What? Did you forget that you brought me the manuscript and the watch? You've been writing for so many days, and you haven't realized the problem yet?"

"I think you are confused because you have been sleeping for half a month, right?"

"slob!"

Wang Anyi reached out and poked him hard, enunciating each word with a rather dissatisfied tone.

"hiss!"
