War Military: From 1978

92 Individual Second Class Merit and Collective Third Class Merit

The space in the small bungalow may be less than 20 square meters.

But in such a large space, there are several tables inside, which further compresses the available space.

But even so, there are more than ten people standing in the room, and they are standing separately.

At this moment, Chu An and five others were standing side by side.

Opposite the five people was the cadre who had stood in front of the regiment commander and others when he met Chu An and others.

As for the team leader and the others, they are still standing behind him.

"Comrade Chuan!" The cadre in front of Chuan called out his name with a serious face.

"To!"

Chu An responded loudly as a reflex.

At this moment, Chu An's expression was also very serious, but if you look closely, you can also see that Chu An seemed a little nervous.

Because the identity of the person in front of him is indeed extraordinary.

He is the chief commissioner of his own division.

This was introduced directly by the tour leader when we got off the bus.

At this moment, Shi Zhengwei looked at Chu An with a serious face, and the next second he turned around and stretched out his hand.

At that moment, the Youth League Committee member took a small box from the table behind him and handed it to him with both hands.

After Shi Zhengwei took it, he announced it to Chu An face to face again.

"In view of the fact that Comrade Chu An responded to the situation promptly and decisively on the evening of August 25th, and fully demonstrated the bravery, tenacity, and daring spirit of the flower-growing soldiers, the superiors have decided to award Chu An a second-class merit!"

"Ok?"

This time, Chu An’s eyes widened.

Not only him, but also the group of soldiers next to him were the same.

In fact, everyone had joked before that maybe Chu An would be ranked second after his achievements.

But everyone was really joking at the time.

After all, it is very difficult to achieve merit in this era.

In their Class B troops, a company would surely produce one third-class merit every one or two years. As for the second-class merit, let alone one, even in peacetime production, a whole regiment might not produce one for several years.

What's more, Chu An's achievement this time cannot be considered the usual second-class merit.

This time we were in a state of combat readiness, and we made the contribution while performing tasks on the front line.

This kind of merit is a military achievement.

Although the distinction between military merit and ordinary merit is not very clear these days, no matter what, the evaluation standards for military merit are definitely more difficult than those for ordinary merit.

This time, Chu An didn't lose a single hair. At most, he was hit a few times, with some bruises on his body and a bump on his head.

In this case, he himself believed that he would be awarded the third-class merit this time.

Unexpectedly, this result gave Chu An a surprise.

"Why are you still standing there?" At this time, the team leader smiled and reminded softly.

Immediately, Chu An came back to his senses, quickly adjusted his expression, took a step forward, saluted with a serious face, and reached out to take the merit box and the certificate of merit that the division chief later handed over.

"Do a good job, Comrade Chu An, I have confidence in you!"

After Shi Zhengwei gave Chu An the box of honor and the certificate, the seriousness on his face melted away, and he smiled and patted Chu An on the shoulder and said these words.

"Yes! I will defend my country and never regret it even if I die!" Chu An stood straight, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.

At this moment, the other four people behind Chu An were looking at Chu An with envy.

Although they were proud of the squad leader's achievement, they could also brag about it in the future.

But this second-class merit was really beyond everyone's expectations.

But after just a moment, they looked at Shi Zhengwei in front of them with sharp eyes.

The instructor said before that they also have a share today.

Although they know that they cannot get the second-class merit, no matter what kind of merit it is, it’s fine as long as they have it!
However, to their disappointment, it was not their turn yet.

Shi Zhengwei turned around and stretched out his hand again.

At the same time, the regimental committee member behind him also took out something like a magic trick and handed it to the division committee member.

"This is an extra reward given to you by your superiors!"

As he spoke, he handed the thing to Chu An again.

There were too many people in the office. Behind the division commander, the commander and the regiment commander blocked the table behind them, so Chu An and others could not see how much was on the table behind them.

Chu An was also a little surprised at the moment.

However, despite the accident, Chu An still acted quickly.

He hurriedly put the merit box into his pocket and took the certificate under his arm with both hands.

This is a black Type 62 telescope.

Chuan himself has one.

But the difference between this and the one Chu An has now is that this Type 62 telescope has words printed on both sides.

"To Comrade Chu An, a second-class merit as a souvenir!"

Shi Zhengwei smiled and said, "You cannot publicize your meritorious service this time. Even the reason for your meritorious service must be kept secret in the future!" He not only said this to Chu An, but also glanced at the four people behind him.

But having said this, he looked directly at Chu An again: "Especially you, Comrade Chu An!"

He pointed at the certificate Chu An was holding under his arm and said, "The page with the meritorious service information on your certificate is actually blank!"

Chu An couldn't help but look down at the certificate under his armpit, but then Chu An looked up and responded loudly: "Yes!" Does it matter whether there is any information in the certificate?

Anyway, Chu An doesn’t care about it, the medal of honor is enough!
"There's also a wedding announcement, but it looks like you can't even hold it. So, you can take it while we take the photo. Afterwards, your group will mail it directly to you."

"Yes!"

Chu An responded again.

Only then did Shi Zhengwei finally look over again under the eager gazes of the four people behind him.

"Mountain Eagle Class One!" Suddenly, the teacher's gentle and smiling face turned serious again.

"Huh?" Once again, Chu An and the other four were caught off guard and stunned.

Because everyone, including Chu An, actually thought that the teacher's committee would continue to call the roll, but they didn't expect that the teacher's committee did call the roll, but it was directly called the name of a class.

But immediately afterwards, Chu An and the four people behind him responded immediately.

"To!"

Shi Zhengwei's eyes slowly swept over Chu An and the other four, and then he made a solemn announcement.

"In light of the performance of Mountain Eagle Squad One on the evening of August 25th, our superiors have decided to award Mountain Eagle Squad One a collective Third-Class Merit!"

As he spoke, he turned around and took a certificate that had been framed in a wooden frame from the Youth League Committee member behind him, turned it over and showed it to Chu An and others.

It was obvious that Chu An, Liu Xi and the other three were a little surprised.

They had never thought about the third-class collective merit before, because everyone, including Chu An, thought they would receive individual commendations.

But the surprise lasted only for a moment. Soon, the class deputy Liu Xi stepped forward and took the certificate at Chu An's signal.

Then, something unexpected happened again.

They also have souvenirs.

Each person was given a compass with small words written on the back.

A collective third-class merit as a souvenir!
Naturally, Chu An also got it.

"Pa pa~" After the souvenirs were distributed, all the cadres in the small room began to applaud.

At that moment, after the applause died down, Division Chief looked at Chu An and the others and said with a smile, "We'll take a group photo together later, and then take a group photo of the five of you. This is a collective third-class merit for your class. Later, you can hang the photo and certificate together in your company's honor room!"

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but after hearing it, Chu An actually wanted to say, Chief, I don’t even know which way the door of my company opens.

is not that right?

Their Mountain Eagle Growth Team was established after the end of the recruit company. Although they were later assigned to the Police Communications Company, Chu An and Wang Xiaohu had never been to the Police Communications Company. The recruit company was divided and the soldiers just moved to a new dormitory.

By now, the Mountain Eagle Development Team is said to have graduated, but before that they had been on the front line of the first battalion.

Of course, he could only think about these words in his mind.

Afterwards, Chu An and others walked out of the small house and came to the yard, where comrades from the Youth League Propaganda Department took photos of everyone.

"Squad leader, let me see, wow~ This is the first time in my life that I have come into contact with a second-class merit at such close range!

Monitor, I'm so envious! "

There are now many tents set up on the temporary training ground in front of the regiment.

After Chu An and the other four finished taking the photo, they were brought here by the clerk from the regiment headquarters.

According to the regiment leader, they will be given a day off today, and the regiment headquarters will have an extra meal in the evening for everyone to eat together.

Now that the clerk had just left, Wang Xiaohu couldn't hold it in any longer.

He ran directly to Chu An, took Chu An's merit box in a pleading manner, opened it, and took out the second-class merit medal inside.

"No one in our regiment has won a second-class merit for many years, and this happened during the war.

"Squad leader, you're guaranteed a promotion this time!" Luo Yun was also watching from the side of Wang Xiaohu. After watching, he looked up at Chu An and said this.

Chu An immediately laughed and said, "How can it be that easy? Promotion and meritorious service are not guaranteed!"

"Hey, squad leader, you definitely must!" At this time, Wang Qingwa also laughed and said, "Look, the commander just thought so highly of you, and this is a second-class wartime merit. It would be unjust not to give you a promotion!"

"Don't exaggerate! This is unforgivable!"

To be honest, Chu An feels a little dizzy now.

The second-class merit, during wartime, came a little too suddenly.

"Hey, if I had known that snatching a telescope would earn me a second-class merit, I would have fought to the death to snatch it!"

Holding Chu An's medal, Wang Xiaohu said again with regret: "You don't know, I was very close to them at that time. Those guys were chasing me, and suddenly I saw the squad leader appear.

At that time I thought something had happened!

I was wondering why they were all chasing the squad leader. I was still shouting, but these Vietnamese devils ignored me!

"Haha, save your breath!" Luo Yun pushed Wang Xiaohu and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you don't know. If you had tried to rob us and were captured, our collective third-class merit would have been for nothing.

Look, my compass isn't as impressive as the monitor's telescope, but at least it's a keepsake. If I have a son in the future, I can show it to him and brag about it, right?

"Bah, you look down on me!" Wang Xiaohu immediately said, "Even if I can't snatch it, I will definitely not be captured by them!"

He patted his chest and said, "I have the Glorious Bullet with me. If I'm really pushed to the limit, I'll just ask a few of the Vietnamese devils to go with me!"

"What are you talking about!" Chu An raised his hand and hit him on the head when he heard what he said.

After the fight, Chu An pretended to be serious and scolded: "Don't be so stubborn, kid. Think about your family and don't pull the glorious bullet every time, okay?"

Chu An knows history, and now as artillery reconnaissance personnel, if a real fight breaks out, they will basically be on the front line.

This kid started with the glorious bullet. Chu An was really worried that if he didn't persuade him, this guy would really do such a thing to gain merit when he got the chance.

Although the merit is good, it costs only one life, and Chu An also hopes that they can make achievements.

But he hoped that they would be like him, and achieve their achievements while standing, rather than lying in the martyrs' cemetery and having their achievements engraved on their tombstones!
