Chapter 308 Directly affiliated security camp
Looking at the tears flashing in Tang Dao's eyes, who had always been tough and rarely showed his inner emotions, General Wu and General Guo looked at each other, and were obviously satisfied with their decision.
You should know that 20 minutes ago, General Wu Zhong, who received the successful return of the Cangcheng front line officers and soldiers, asked the generals who were holding a military meeting: "Tang Dao and the Cangcheng front line soldiers are back. Everyone said how should we reward them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the generals were in a good mood.
Lieutenant General Jin Shaobi, the commander of the 107th Division of the 67th Army, took the lead in proposing: "The soldiers on the front line of Cangcheng fought hard in this battle, but it was beyond imagination to annihilate the Japanese army. In my opinion, it would be better to raise the first-level military rank like the Songjiang Security Corps?"
The other side of the 108th Division Commander Zhang Wenqing's face remained unchanged, but gratitude appeared in his eyes.
Because the main force involved in the Battle of Cangcheng this time was the 644th Regiment under his 108th Division. If this reward method can be achieved, it can be regarded as the compensation he, the division commander, has won for his subordinates.
The first-level military rank representative is not only personal honors, but also pensions increase.
The four major generals and brigade commanders sitting next to the two lieutenant generals of the 67th Army nodded in their support, and the two brigade commanders of the 43rd Army were no exception.
This statement that promotion to military rank is encouraged almost received one-sided approval rating.
"No, Songjiang Security Regiment is an informal army, and the local government is responsible for the pension. We can promote their military ranks at will. We just need to report to the War Zone Command for filing. However, our Cangcheng defenders are all under the jurisdiction of the Military Affairs Department, especially Lieutenant Colonel Tangdao and two other major battalion commanders are the school officials. Even if our army wants to improve its military rank, we must first report to the War Zone Command and obtain permission.
Besides, as soon as the precedent for encouraging morale with the promotion of military ranks is set, the commanders of each regiment and brigade will come to ask our Songjiang Command to promote his military ranks. Should we raise it or not?
Even if we are willing to mention it, what about the War Zone Command? Even the Military Affairs Department? Do they think our army is suspected of using the defense to threaten it?
Whether against the superiors or the inferiors, I personally think this reward method is beneficial or harmless to the decisive battle with the Japanese army that I am about to usher in Songjiang." Major General Wu Tong, as the chief of staff of the 67th Army, raised objections.
This powerful major general chief of staff did not deliberately sing a counter-tune with two lieutenant generals who held heavy troops.
Because he looked at the problem from a higher level, the 67th Army was originally the thorn in the eyes of the highest level. Suddenly, in this war, he asked to be promoted to a large number of military ranks. With that person's spirit, he might have to endure it for the battle between Shanghai and West at this time. Whether he would settle the score in the future or even simply wipe his face and refuse to admit it is unknown.
In other words, he does not represent his own opinions, but the opinions of the highest officer of the Songjiang Command, but it is just that it is inconvenient for him to speak out.
The atmosphere at the venue was frozen for a moment.
The generals also knew that this possibility was not a speculation, on the contrary, it would most likely be like this.
However, the generals who are usually quite flexible in their minds are also a little bit numb. They really can't think of any suitable rewards for frontline soldiers who have fought with the Japanese in addition to promotion.
Just giving rewards to the ocean? That's really useless. After this battle, I don't know how many people can live. Most of the oceans on the dead are not sent back to their hometown.
On the battlefield, the most useless thing is perhaps money.
After a long time, General Wu clapped his face: "You can't think of a suitable solution, so why not follow what I said!
If you are promoted to a military rank like this, the promotion of a school official requires the approval of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Then we will not be promoted to a school official, and all officers and soldiers below the captain will be promoted to a higher level. I don’t need to say that those who have not been promoted, you who are division commanders and brigade commanders know what to do.
But I think it is not enough to just promote the military rank. Nearly 600 people were killed in the front line of Cangcheng, but more than 2,000 enemies were killed. Such a record of great victory could not be offset by a mere promotion to the military rank.
I suggest that you all here, please salute me on the front line of Cangcheng! On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of Songjiang, what do you think?"
All the generals were shocked, and this treatment was not ordinary.
However, since this super-specified courtesy was proposed by the Supreme Commander, the deputy commander-in-chief nodded and agreed, so naturally no one opposed it without any ignorantly.
That's why there was a scene where Tang Dao bowed and no one returned the bow.
Because, the generals here do not return the gift, but want to salute.
In the form of a soldier, I pay tribute to the army of Cangcheng who has returned from hard battles.
Several school officials who were waiting in front of the command department were also waiting nervously, but a few minutes later, they were shocking news that all the generals in Songjiang City saluted their commander Lieutenant Colonel Tang Dao.
I'm going to go to heaven! When Peng Chong followed Tang Dao to the temporary garrison of the Cangcheng defenders, he was floating.
Not to mention him, even the other two major battalion commanders had never closed their mouths along the way.
It’s nothing if you don’t mention the military rank! All the generals here in Songjiang City salute me. I can brag for the rest of my life.
Tang Dao and a group of officers returned to the temporary garrison assigned to them. The cooking team of the 644th Regiment had done their best to deliver the food. Although there was nothing good, one person had a large piece of fat and half a pound of white flour steamed buns and two taels of white wine. At this moment of war, it was definitely rich.
The security team that they returned to Songjiang City before also had basic treatment. After experiencing life and death, they were filled with food that could not even eat, and were still full of oil and mouths to be filled with oil?
However, all the soldiers, including the wounded, were waiting for their commander to wait for Tang Dao and several officers to return from the command center.
It’s not that they have to wait for a new military order, but that after this day and night of battle, they have completely integrated into one. Is it reasonable to leave the brothers alone?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "When we make trouble, I'm not hungry, but I'm so hungry." Tang Dao, who stepped into the air-raid shelter station, reached out and picked up a steamed bun and picked up the broth, and made it in big mouthfuls.
The so-called "over-hungry" feeling that he doesn't feel hungry" means that he doesn't spend much effort. He just wants to try to eat two cold cakes when fighting a day and a night. Tang Dao, who has spent a lot of physical, energy and energy, feels that he can swallow a cow now.
After eating most of his fill in one breath, he saw that the soldiers who were also greedy and voraciously finished the food in front of him, Tang Dao waved his hand and asked Peng Chong to read out the command headquarters' military orders.
"Songjiang Command Order: Except for captains, majors, and lieutenant colonel officers in the entire Cangcheng Front Line, all the people will be promoted to the military rank first level; all the disabled and those who die in battle will be paid according to the new military rank!"
The audience was filled with joy!
"In addition, given that the entire army in the Cangcheng position is brave and the enemy is killed, the command center has discussed and decided that the entire army in the Cangcheng position will not be built for the time being. The Songjiang Commander shall be established on the spot. The guard battalion shall be established with 800 personnel. Except for the remaining troops left in the Cangcheng position, the rest of the additional personnel shall be supplemented. The battalion commander Tang Dao shall be selected by himself. The 67th Army, the 43rd Army, all divisions, brigades and regiments of the Songjiang Security Regiment must cooperate fully and shall not shirk responsibility and obstruction. Songjiang Command Order!"
After a moment of silence, the cheers became even louder before.
The Cangcheng Guards were originally composed of two parts: the 67th Army and the 43rd Army. They would be built after completing the Cangcheng combat mission.
After experiencing this bloody battlefield, the 200 people who still survived will never leave their separation from strangers to familiarity and then to fighting side by side with each other.
Although Songjiang City is not big, everyone knows that the war is imminent, and life and death depend on the destiny of heaven. After they return to their own construction, they may be parting forever.
Now, it would be better for everyone to fight together.
Moreover, the commander of the security battalion directly under the command is a lieutenant colonel. In terms of specifications, it is much higher than that of ordinary infantry battalions, which means that the equipment standard will be higher. If the equipment is well-equipped, the chance of saving lives will naturally be greater.
The soldiers who have been in the army for a long time also touched these things.
Perhaps this military order is more happy for those who have experienced life and death than the previous military order to be promoted.
But there is much more to them to be happy about.
The broadcasts placed in various air-raid shelters began to rustle, and that was why the command center had some major news to be announced.
The Songjiang defenders are now accustomed to this very "advanced" battlefield live broadcast, especially the gentle but heroic voice of the reporter from Tan Tai, which is even more exciting.
Although many people have never really seen that great reporter, their voice is as good as they do not prevent them from outlining Dan Tai Mingyue in their minds.
To put it bluntly, Dan Tai Mingyue is the goddess in the hearts of more than 30,000 defenders in Songjiang.
The goddess' voice is about to appear. Whoever is still cheering stupidly at this moment is a big fool.
There are a few such stupid people, such as the only alive communication soldier under the young deputy squad leader Qian Dazhu. Since he heard that he had been promoted to a senior squad, the tooth flower has been exposed.
At this moment, Qian Dazhu naturally imitated his old squad leader Dongguo and slapped him on the back of the head: "A melon baby, just have a silly ball!"
The little communication soldier is quiet.
It was not because he was scolded by the squad leader, but because he saw tears suddenly flashing in the eyes of the squad leader who was not one or two years older than him.
He knew that the squad leader remembered the squad leader again.
The only one of his infantry squadrons who had just been promoted to be a sergeant and a senior sergeant.
