The special envoy came with money and medals, and did not stay in Chang'an for much time. Under the escort of a cavalry regiment sent from the Second War Zone, it took only two days to arrive at Zhongtiao Mountain.

On the fifth day before the Lunar New Year in 1939, the Second War Zone held a grand medal awarding ceremony in Monan Town, the garrison of the 38th Army of the 4th Army of Zhongtiaoshan.

The Ministry of Military Affairs chose this place from many locations, which naturally has a certain meaning.

The 38th Army was the infantry army with the largest number of enemies on the battlefield of Zhongtiaoshan, and the 38th Army headquarters was also the only army in all the infantry armies that had fought bloody battles with the Japanese army.

To this day, the corpses of nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers are still buried in the mountain stream less than 3 miles away from Monan Town.

That day, for those newspaper and radio reporters who came by a special plane, the 38th Army also dug out the bodies and displayed them again.

Fortunately, the weather was very cold at this time, and the bodies of the Japanese invaders who were almost stripped of nothing were basically a piece of frozen meat, otherwise the smell would have smoked the "uncrowned kings" away.

However, after these big reporters exaggerated it, the white-haired general became the hero who personally carried a shell gun and civilians in the military department to wipe out a Japanese brigade.

Although the white-haired general had no intention of being greedy for meritorious deeds, and when introducing this battle, he also specifically mentioned the names of meritorious ministers such as Longyan and Luo Wanjian, their level was too low. At this time, China needed a famous general to boost morale.

Even Tang Dao also sent a power to the White-haired General, with only one reason: for the sake of the overall situation of anti-Japanese war and for the Northwest Army to survive!

The more famous he is, the more stable the status of the Northwest Army system will be, and the more secure the military expenditure he wins, and will not be excluded and marginalized like before. Even that person cannot move them just by wanting to move. The white-haired general can only helplessly become a hero general who is carrying a crooked shell gun in the propaganda and "barbaric" battle.

Don’t say, once this article written by that passionate reporter was published, the former Northwest Army, whose grandma originally did not love his uncle and did not love his presence, received cordial greetings from all walks of life.

This is almost like a person leading a marginalized army, and the name of Leng Wa in Shaanxi Province has become famous all over the country.

The envoy surnamed Chen was a very smart person. Unlike the former high-ranking officials with eyes on their heads, he knew that without the help of the people, it would be difficult to defeat the Japanese by relying on the army alone, and even want to stay in this place for a long time.

Therefore, the awarding ceremony chaired by him was not only attended by soldiers, but also invited the Second War Zone to invite famous gentry from all towns in the mountains and all the villagers of Monan Town to attend in advance.

The number of participants in the entire awarding conference reached an unprecedented thousands, and if the periphery guards were added, it could reach tens of thousands.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, the Japanese would use airplanes to raid and make trouble, the start time of the medal ceremony was when the sky was dark in the evening, and the entire venue was surrounded by torches.

The burning flames shone on the faces of the officers and soldiers who were waiting to receive the medals, and were red.

That is the color of joy and the color of victory!

However, compared with ordinary officers and soldiers who were excited, the generals who were sitting on the first row of golden stars had different expressions.

This medal awarding conference is somewhat strange!

The 4th Army became the biggest winner of this battle. Not only did the 5 people below the commander of the army won the Qingtian Medal, but it became the only one in the army level since the war started, but as many as 110 people won the Baoding Medal, Yunhui Medal, Loyalty and Duty Medal, and Loyalty Medal were like a crossing the river, with a height of 836 people.

If the 37,000 people participated in the 4th Army, the proportion of medals won by the army almost reached 40 to 1, which is extremely rare in the history of Sino-foreign wars.

You should know that except for those regiments, brigades, divisions, military-level senior officers and ordinary officers and soldiers who have won medals, they will basically be promoted to the first level of military rank, which means that military expenditures will be increased.

That person suddenly became so good to Mao in the Northwest Army. This is unscientific!

But it is so unscientific that after the award of the Fourth Army, the special envoy transferred the two months of military expenditure of 1.74 million French dollars to the Fourth Army by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and an additional 500,000 French dollars were awarded.

This undoubtedly made the other four armies so excited that they were so jealous.

The word "wage arrears" is not something that will be available in the future. In this era, it is normal for them to owe them to three months, and to six months, and many officers and soldiers have not received their due military pay until they die.

This time I spent two months, especially at the New Year, plus bonuses, from generals to the most ordinary privates, isn’t it that all the wallets are bulging and morale cannot be overwhelmed?

If the Japanese dare to come back at this time, even the most cautious army commander, I am afraid that they would dare to pick up guns and fuck them hard.

And it’s all! It’s one thing to have a lot of money, and more importantly, the signals revealed in it.

The current Ministry of Military Affairs has some specialties in allocating military expenditure. The annual military expenditure of a 6th Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the Class A Division is about 2.83 million, with an average of nearly 240,000 per month. There are fewer one 230,000 per month, while the average of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the Class C Division is much worse, with an average of 1.99 million a year, with an average of only more than 160,000 per month.

The 4th Army belongs to the Northwest Army. The 17th Division of the 38th Army under its command originally had two infantry brigades and four infantry regiments. Even if an independent brigade was added later, it was actually allocated according to 1.99 million military expenditure.

To put it bluntly, the intention reflected by this military expenditure is that at least the entire 4th Army will be treated as the B Division in the future.

In addition, the reward of 500,000 fiat currency is not small. Even if the fiat currency has depreciated now, the purchasing power of fiat currency at the end of 1938 was still good. You can buy a big bull for 100 fiat currency, which is the wealth of 5,000 buffaloes.

However, not only did the 4th Army resisted the Japanese attacks of 40,000 Japanese troops in this battle, but the 46th Brigade under its command also sent surprise troops to defeat Ruicheng and Yuncheng. It also fought hard on Jiulong Mountain with a small number of enemies for seven days to destroy more than 20,000 Japanese troops, creating miracles in military history. These are all things that make people say, and rewards are what they deserve.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! It is still good at this time. Even if you are dissatisfied, most of them are just envious, waiting to read the name of your own army.

But the famous envoy named Chen had read the name of a unit, and the other generals of the major armies looked very bad.

Because, the second prize winner has nothing to do with them.

It was not the army, but the four regiments that were directly under the control of the war zone were just rumored not long ago.

This stingy old man really doesn't even want to see him. In order to win over a colonel leader, he actually disregarded our faces. The dissatisfied generals pointed their finger at an army general standing next to the envoy.

Since the stingy old man stood on the stage and announced various awards and rewards, his face was gloomy most of the time. Only when he awarded a medal to the general, he would try his best to squeeze out a smile.

It’s not because the envoy named Chen was a distant person and left him as the mascot as the mascot, but the envoy represented the one, so he was naturally ranked first, and the stingy old man naturally had no objections.

But as various medals and rewards were issued to the 4th Army, he gradually reminiscent of the story, especially when he heard the name of the Four-Line Group ranked second, his smart head turned to flying.

The man's fight back at him came really fast, accurate and ruthless!

Before the medal awarding meeting, the special envoy surnamed Chen also mentioned it specifically and after referring to the opinions of the Chief of the Second War Zone Command, he made the following reward decision.

The superior meaning also needs to listen to the opinions from the following. Regardless of whether this statement is implemented or not, it will basically be mentioned on the surface. This is also considered a Chinese practice.

Needless to say, no matter the ranking or the reward, it will all fall on him as the commander of the war zone.

First use the 4th Army as a gun, which aroused the hearts of the other army commanders!

Of course, this is just an introduction.

The ancestors of China can say: Don’t worry about being weak but not being equal!

He lifted the 4th Army high first, making the other commanders jealous first, but it's okay, after all, it was shot by the 4th Army.

For example, the 46th Independent Brigade sent more than 4,300 troops to Zhongtiaoshan. When the Battle of Jiulong Mountain ended, the entire brigade could still leave the battlefield while standing, and the major general brigade commander, there were less than 500 people, and even the entire battalion could not be as large as possible.

Regardless of minor injuries, more than 2,300 people were killed in the entire brigade and more than 1,400 were seriously injured. There were 5 infantry platoons that were wiped out by the entire army. Such a battle loss rate is worthy of pride on any battlefield.

What's more, there were more than 10,000 Japanese troops who fell in front of their positions. More than half of the Japanese military ranks and command knives brought back by the newspaper and radio reporters came to interview him.

But, the real drama is here.

The second one to be organized was not any other army, but the Four Corps.

The stingy old man just wanted to curse himself. As the saying goes, "Mu is beautiful in the forest and wind will be destroyed." The man who wanted to bring Tang Dao and the Sixing Group to the forefront with bad intentions was Ming Card, but in the end it was him, the commander of the war zone.

Not only did other army commanders think it was something he wanted to win over Tang Dao, but even Tang Dao probably wanted to spit his face in the distance.

After all, the last time he acquiesced to Tang Dao and lead his troops to rescue Jiulong Mountain was bright, and everyone knew that he, the commander of the war zone, showed goodwill to Tang Dao.

Yes, no one denies the military achievements of the Sixing Group.

Whether it is Wangwu Mountain, Sizhou Mountain, Jiulong Mountain or Taihang Mountain battlefield, the Four-Hong Kong Regiment at least exerted the combat power of an A-type Infantry Division. The Japanese Guozaki Detachment, the Preparatory 21st Infantry Brigade, the 4th Division West Turkish Detachment, the three major mixed brigades, the 114th Division, the 108th Division and other units all failed in front of the Four-Hong Kong Regiment.

The number of Japanese troops annihilated is the best in Chinese divisions, but the Four Army Regiments are an infantry regiment-level unit after all!

Your reward is directly above the major armies. Do you have any face?

Fortunately, because the journey was long, the Four Army Group and the Eighty Army Group stationed in Taihang Mountains were absent from this massive awards and awards conference. Otherwise, the Tang delegation would have endured many sharp arrows at this moment.

But no matter what other army commanders and the commanders think, the medals and rewards still have to be given.

Tang Dao won the Qingtian Medal and a third-class treasure trove medal. His deputy commander Lei Xiong, director of the Political Department, Ye Chenghuan, chief of staff, Gong Shaoxun, and chief of logistics department Zhuang Shisan, all won the fourth-class treasure trove medal. All other school-level officers were awarded the fifth-class treasure trove medal. The lieutenants and soldiers with military achievements were awarded the seventh-9th-class treasure medal.

If we talk about the number of people in the Baoding Medal, the Four Army actually caught up with the 4th Army!

This is not counting. The Sihang Group obtained the special forces organization and allocated 1.4 million French currency to it for a year. It also issued a letter of appointment with the Deputy Director of the Hebei-South Administrative Office with the seal of the Executive Yuan, as well as the rumored special fund for 200,000 French currency.

The eyes of the other generals of the army were almost red, and the stingy old man was almost crying, and even the Blue Sky Medal hanging on his chest felt that it was not good.

This is not a medal awards conference. This is a complete roasting of the commander of the Second War Zone!

Really, if he used to just want to kick that guy away from the stage, then now he wants to hit the guy in the head with a shit.

I have never seen such a bad person, and through such a moment of celebration, he can give him the commander of the war zone.

Of course, that person was a smart man who used the 4th Army and the Fourth Army to make trouble for the commander of a certain theater, but he was generous to reward several other army groups who participated in the war and made meritorious contributions.

Basically, each army allocated two months of military expenditure, and even the Eighty Army gave 1.24 million French currency according to the original organization of 45,000 infantry divisions, which means that the reward was given an amount ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 French currency based on military merits.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The gratitude is remembered on that person, but the dissatisfaction is left to the stingy old man in the war zone commander.

This time, the man was considered a heavy bleeding. Nearly 4,000 medals of various types were issued, and the military expenses and rewards were scattered tens of millions. In order to allow the troops in Zhongtiao Mountain and Taihang Mountain to celebrate the New Year, the Shaanxi Provincial Government prepared 300,000 kilograms of cattle, sheep, pork, 800,000 kilograms of rice, 1 million kilograms of cabbage and radish, which were continuously transported to Zhongtiao Mountain through the Yellow River Ferry to work.

It seems that there are not many people assigned to the army, but this is extremely rare for the army that has not seen many meat and fish for half a year.

Especially in such mountains, not to mention French currency, the ocean is not easy to use, and even if you have money, you can’t buy anything. In fact, to some extent, these supplies are more practical than medals and rewards for more than 100,000 officers and soldiers.

As the telegram reached the army, there was a lot of joy on the defense line of more than 100 miles of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Except for Commander Yan, who looked dark all night.

Taihang Mountain Dakouzidong Town!

Although there is no war or training, it is still busy and busy.

There are several major things to do in the Sixing Group during this period.

1. Tang Tuanzu is finally about to end his happy single dog life! Moreover, Dan Tai Mingyue's family has come from thousands of miles away, and this ceremony must be held grandly.

In the words of Deputy Leader Lei Xiong, in order to save face for the leader of the regiment, this matter is the top priority at present, and the whole regiment must be mobilized.

2. In order to boost morale, the Dakouzidong Town resident and the entire group will hold a New Year party and invite friendly generals to come and watch the ceremony.

Of course, this is also because where the Tang Tuanzuo wedding was, and it happened to be held together.
