Chapter 1287: Re-granting military merits (Part 2)(1/2)
"Others are honest and honest. Even if anyone messes with him on weekdays, they just smile and make a smile. Everyone calls him Wang Laoshi. Over time, no one remembers his real name Wang Dashi.
Wang Laoshi is not a new recruit. He has been in the army for a whole year. To be more precise, he was a group of refugees recruited by our four-square team in Xuzhou.
Back then, many of them had only one reason to join the army. In order not to starve their relatives to death, Wang Laoshi was no exception.
Wang Laoshi participated in almost all battles since the establishment of our Four Corps. In Bihe, he was taken to the battlefield as a new recruit who performed well in training. He threw 3 grenades in total, not only was he lower than the average level of the new recruits participating in the battle, but he was also scared to death. After the war, he was rated as one of the new recruits who were not suitable for being assigned to the front-line combat force.
In our four-way regiment, the recruits who can enter the front-line troops must be the best among the recruits, with both military literacy and courage.
Obviously, Wang Laoshi, who received this evaluation, did not meet this standard. He was incorporated into the baggage battalion and became a baggage soldier. Many new recruits were also here, and were gradually tempered by the war to become veterans, so that they no longer fear the cruel battlefield and went to the front line.
The same is true for Wang Laoshi's road. When our regiment entered the Taihang Mountains, he was the baggage soldier who did not directly participate in the battle, but he was the baggage soldier with the largest number of supplies in his baggage shipment.
Although Wang Laoshi had never told anyone about his thoughts, I think he should have regretted his performance in joining the first battle of the army at that time. He was silently trying to prove himself.
But he still did not enter the front line of troops, and was still a baggage soldier. Until the Battle of Jindong in September, facing the siege of tens of thousands of Japanese troops, our baggage soldier was forced to pick up his gun and go to the front line.
During that battle, Wang Laoshi did not wet his pants anymore, but he was injured. He was hit by a Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun bullet, and his arm bone was broken and exposed. In order to avoid wound infection, the military doctor had to perform amputation on him.
Wang Laoshi became a disabled man. Not only did he not have the chance to go to the front line troops he longed for, but he could not even be a baggage soldier. According to the regulations of our regiment, he would retire.
Wang Laoshi became a veteran, but the word "disability" was added to the front, but he could go home.
His wife and children are still waiting for him at home in the town. With the 100 severely injured pensions he has distributed, he can start his life again.
If nothing unexpected happens, he can do some small business and continue to support the family, be a good husband and a good father.
But, the Japanese New Year's Day offensive has come!
The newly established security battalion is filled with a large number of new soldiers and militias, and veterans are in urgent need! With almost all the main forces of the regiment leaving, the security battalion at the garrison is the last barrier in Dakouzidong Town.
Wang Laoshi, who had just returned home for a few days, walked back into the military camp. This time, he was no longer a baggage soldier who was forced to go to the battlefield, but was one of the five veterans in the 10 new infantry squad, serving as a corporal.
The rank of corporal is still the original rank before he retired due to injury. If it weren't for the lost arm, Wang Laoshi would have been just a top-ranking corporal. Even if he was in a lack of veterans' protection camp, he was still the most ordinary one.
The infantry squad where Wang Laoshi is located is responsible for a machine gun castle 9 kilometers away from Dakouzidong Town. The facilities there are sufficiently complete. It has permanent machine gun fortifications that can prevent frontal bombardment of 92 infantry artillery and 75 mountain artillery, as well as trenches for protection of highlands, and also traffic trenches for retreating to safety areas.
If nothing unexpected happens, even if the Japanese army siege siege siege siege siege, this castle marked 0059 can repel it.
But an accident happened!
In order to escape, the 132 Infantry Regiment, which was alone, called Japanese planes to bomb, and a heavy bomb landed less than 20 meters on the side of Wang Laoshi's fortification.
The fortifications have not collapsed, but everyone should have seen the 500-pound bomb. Not to mention 20 meters, even if it is 50 meters and 100 meters, even with the protection of trenches, people located in it may be shocked to death.
Caught off guard, the infantry squad's two veterans, three new recruits and two veterans in the surface trenches, all four new recruits were killed, leaving only the four Corporal Wang, who took three new recruits to the deeper part of the castle to carry ammunition.
Corporal Wang Laoshi became the only remaining highest military rank in the infantry squad.
The Four Corps stipulates that if the battle losses exceed 70%, they can be evacuated if they report and have their superiors approved!
Wang Laoshi had every reason to fire a signal flare and asked his platoon leader to evacuate. The traffic trench located behind the castle was still preserved until after the war.
But Wang Zhen did not, because the fortifications where he was located guarded the flanks of our other two large condoms. Once the Japanese army captured this place, it was possible to mount the infantry artillery onto the high ground and bombard the flanks of our other two positions, forcing the firepower in the trenches on the high ground to weaken the firepower in the trenches on the high ground. It was easier for Japanese engineers to climb up the mountain to carry out artificial blasting of the condoms.
If the two front teeth-like castles were broken, the Japanese 132 Infantry Regiment would have greater room for movement and might break through the pocket array set up by our defense battalion.
Although after the war, after arguments, the Japanese army that had been surrounded and had been bleeding, they were unable to break out of the firepower area of our densely packed fortifications, as a soldier, that was unpredictable.
At that time, he only knew that the platoon leader had told them that he would defend the No. 0059 Fortification, even if it was conquered, the Japanese army must shed all their blood there.
The soldiers took obeying orders as their duty. As the only sergeant surviving fortification No. 0059, Wang Laoshi decided to defend himself.
The recruits became machine gunners, the veterans became observers and ammunition players, and the old Maxim heavy machine gun became the sharpest arrow in their hands.
In order to conquer this castle, the Japanese army used a total of two infantry squadrons to attack in turn, far exceeding the load that one infantry squad could block the attack of 200 Japanese troops.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! But the four soldiers miraculously held on to this imperative fortification fortification. Their high ground was covered with yellow corpses.
It can be fought until dusk, and with two soldiers fighting in surface trenches with submachine guns and rifles, the combat power of Fortification No. 0059 is almost exhausted.
The Japanese engineers were able to sneak into the bottom of Fortification No. 0059 and placed a large number of explosive packs, and the solid fortifications were blown away.
The two soldiers who were forced to hide in the explosion-proof ditch almost lost their last chance to evacuate if they were unwilling to abandon their seriously injured comrades.
"Bring the yam eggs on your back, withdraw, I will cut off the rear for you!" Wang Laoshi issued the last military order since he became the supreme commander of the fortification.
No one left behind, all three died.
This is Wang Laoshi's decision as a veteran.
The recruits didn't want to leave, but he had to leave, both because of orders and because of serious injury to his unconscious comrades.
The sound of rapid fire of submachine guns resounded through the traffic trench entrance, which was the last resistance made by the one-armed veteran for his comrades.
The recruit's tears burst out from his eyes. He knew that it was the last magazine of the submachine gun with 400 rounds.
The recruit who had already run 60 meters away from the dangerous area with his seriously injured comrades on his back and looked back at his sergeant brother. The last scene he saw was that the honest brother, covered in blood, was lying in a trench in the trench and lit a cigarette for himself with great difficulty.
His eyes were towards the sky, his lips twitched, and he yelled something that only the closest people knew. Then, a smile appeared on his face, calmly lit the lead under him with the cigarette butt that had just taken a sip.
That is the 30 kilogram explosive pack stored in Fortification No. 0059, which is used to destroy the fortifications when they have to evacuate.
But the honest sergeant left it to himself and the dozen Japanese infantry surrounding him."
Accompanied by the story of Dan Tai Mingyue, the venue was quiet, except for a soldier wearing a blood-stained corporal rank, sobbing hard.
This is an ordinary soldier. Even though he tried his best to join the army to retire, he was also an unknown person in the Four Army Group, which was full of talents and heroes.
As Tan Tai Mingyue said, even if he was promoted to a corporal, it was because of his serious injury and amputation.
Ordinary is the most realistic description of his military career.
But such an ordinary soldier burst out his most brilliant light in his last battle.
This is an extraordinary among ordinary people, and it is a special military merit, but it is!
"You must be wondering what this honest and ordinary corporal shouted at the last moment of his life, whether it was a slogan to defend his country, or his resentment towards the Japanese!
No, none of them!
He shouted: Girl, I'm sorry, I haven't taken you to see fireworks in this life! If I have the next life, I will buy it for you every year and set it with you every year. Really, I won't lie to you, let this big fireworks testify for me!"
Dan Tai Mingyue's voice was very light, but the last sentence of the honest soldier who stayed in this world was like a sharp arrow inserted into the hearts of all the iron men present.
This honest man who is so ordinary that he still remembers his wife's biggest dream at the last moment of his life. He once wanted to work hard to realize it, but now, because of national hatred and family hatred, he can only use his flesh and blood to turn into fireworks all over the sky and make a promise: Sorry, for the next life!
It is so cruel that it is heartbreaking, and it is romantic and gentle that it is as romantic as the bone marrow!
‘Dog, dad, I am Wang Crazy, I can’t cry!’ Wang Xiaoqiang roared wildly inside, but in fact, this man who was shot and fainted on the road of the Great Mile and did not shed a single tear for several days was desperately rubbing his already red eyes.
The ancients said: "Relaxed may not be a true hero. Who said that mercy is not a husband?" Maybe this is what he said!
She is the person he misses the most at the last moment of his life!
In the end, the only remaining recruit from Fortification No. 0059 came to power with the rank of corporal who once belonged to Wang Laoshi, and received the Tiger Head Medal for him for his special military merits.
That was also the only one that Wang Laoshi left behind. Before igniting the lead, he pulled off the rank and sealed it in his mouth.
These two blood-soaked collar seals were eventually collected by the Chinese Military Museum.
And 60 years later, an old woman invited to Pingbei City to watch the 50th National Day parade, looked up at the fireworks in the sky, with tears in her eyes.
"Dad, are you back?"
With one story after another told by Dan Tai Mingyue, the ordinary and fierce images of six special merit winners were clearly engraved in the minds of everyone present.
But the two of them were able to come on stage to receive the award themselves.
He was Long Yan, who had been promoted to Army Lieutenant and Pang Zilong, who was promoted to Army Corporal and transferred to the Mountain Infantry Company.
In the original words of Commander Liu, who personally awarded military merits to these two: "I hope you two will become two dragons in my Chinese army and make new contributions!"
Yes, it is fair to have three lieutenant generals and commanders who came to participate in the merit awarding conference of the Four Army Corps, one of which awarded military medals to two recipients of the special merit.
After the award was completed, the entire army stood up again to salute the comrades on the stage, paying tribute to the heroes. The entire venue was solemn and quiet for a full minute.
Whether it is the general or the soldier, they stand so straight in the cold wind, with regular military postures!
Looking at the dark faces that looked like steel cast iron, Dan Tai Mingjing seemed to really understand what a soldier was.
How childish and ridiculous it seems to be in front of these things, the thrill of the bullets ejected from the chamber and the pride of heroic and military uniforms.
But the depression after self-denial did not dispel the passionate blood in the boy's chest.
"I will become one of you, and one day I will have that military medal, whether I go up and take it myself or someone else on my behalf, believe me, Sergeant Xia Dayu!" Dan Tai Mingjing looked at Xia Dayu next to me very seriously.
"Oh, before you put on the training uniform of a recruit, you have to convince Mrs. Dan Tai and your father, and maybe you have to add Company Commander Dan Tai!" Xia Dayu answered him objectively.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I am already an adult, and my life must be decided by myself!" Dan Tai Mingjing's fair face rarely showed firmness.
Dan Tai Mingjing and Dan Tai Mingyue were born to the same mother, but in terms of appearance, Dan Tai Mingyue is more like his father, Dan Tai Yunshu, with heroic spirit in his eyebrows, while Dan Tai Mingjing is more like Mrs. Dan Tai, with a more delicate appearance.
But at this moment, Xia Dayu actually felt like seeing Dan Tai Mingyue.
I felt a little uncomfortable and it seemed that this was constantly deviating from the direction arranged by the Tang Tuanzhang.
Even if it is Tang Dao, it cannot do everything, such as his brother-in-law's plan for his future life.
Next, all the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment, who were sitting down again, held their breath and waited for the regiment commander standing on the stage to open the blind box.
What they are waiting for is collective military achievements!
The Four-Entertainment Group has always been a collective superior to the individual. After awarding individual military merits, the highlight of the final performance is to issue collective military merits.
