Chapter 506 Awarding of Medals (Part 2)
"In this battle in the ancient city, all the troops went all out to fight against the Black Hawk Empire Army, not the prestige of our great kingdom. Among them, the headquarters of the Independent Regiment of the Second Kingdom Division, the 28th Regiment of the New First Division of the 29th Army of the Kingdom was the best. They first met the Fourth Brigade of the enemy in mid-March and wiped out more than 7,000 enemies from the enemy's army, Yang Huan, and the third regiment was in late March. In late March, a total of 7,236 people were defended by the ancient city Anwupo Pass to fight against the more than 25,000 enemy troops. On the 8th, they annihilated nearly 10,000 enemies, and the two victories in the past showed the power of our kingdom's power. Hereby, the king's order was issued to the kingdom..." As Zhao Shanyu deliberately extended his voice, his eyes stayed at the officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment.
The whole audience was silent, and only Zhao Danyu's voice echoed in the empty auditorium.
"The highest honor medal of honor for Wang Guo Liu Lang, the colonel Liang Yun, and the colonel Li Binggan of Wang Guo; the highest medal of honor for Wang Guo Li Dakui, the lieutenant colonel Tang Yongming, the lieutenant colonel Bai Yunyue, the lieutenant chief Ji Yanxue, and the literati of Wang Guo Lin Li Li Lie won the third-class first-class medal of merit; the literati of Wang Guo Liang, the lieutenant captain Zhou Shiyu, the lieutenant captain Li Guo Xiangqian, the lieutenant captain Liu Dazhu, the lieutenant captain Cheng Yuanshan, the lieutenant captain Ling Hong, the lieutenant captain Xiao Fenghua......the fourth-class medal of merit; the lieutenant captain Zhao Ergou, the lieutenant captain Wei Hutou, the lieutenant captain of Wang Guo Zhan Datong...the fifth-class medal of merit..."
After reading a long list of 1,680 people, it was already half an hour after reading it.
Although there were only 470 officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment who received medals of all sizes were as high as 1,680. However, forty percent of them could no longer wear their medals. After more than 600 people, Zhao Danyu would be given the suffix of a martyr. The names of more than 600 medals in succession made the audience silent so that the sound of a needle falling to the ground could almost be heard.
Behind all the glory is the blood and life dedication of countless people.
Until Liu Lang took the lead and stepped onto the stage, the applause from the audience instantly echoed like thunder and lasted for a long time.
Although there are jealous people and dissatisfied with the rewards, most soldiers do admire from the heart.
Especially when the three regiments and troops chased the Black Hawk Empire Army out of the ancient city and lost the Eighth Division several times, the record was not officially recognized. If the remnants of the Eighth Division, which were rumored a few days ago, were almost completely wiped out by a national-savior army, the record of these three regiments was really shocking, at least there is no unit that can surpass it now.
Even if you are dissatisfied with the dazzling people of Liu Lang, Liang Yun and others, you have to say that these people on the stage are worthy of the medals on their chests.
Indeed, the king's generosity in the medal this time was not only beyond everyone's expectations, but even Liu Lang was shocked.
Not to mention the number of three regiments, a total of 1,680 people won medals, accounting for nearly one-quarter of the total number. The quality of this medal was not discounted at all. The chief officers of the three regiments were awarded the highest medal of honor. However, there were only sixteen people, including the king, which had won the items before. After the award ceremony, there were 40,000 people across the country, and only 19 people had this honor. No, to be more precise, there were 19 and 18 people. Liu Lang, a little butterfly who traveled through time and space in the future, participated in the two largest battles with the Black Hawk Empire Army, and won two of them.
The boss always takes advantage, and this has been the case in all dynasties. After a war is over, the boss always uses merits to exchange rewards, and the soldier uses his life to exchange money.
However, this time, the king rewarded the officers and soldiers of the three regiments with rich rewards. The third-class first-class merit medals, the fourth-class first-class merit medals, and the fifth-class first-class merit medals were issued like money. Almost all the above-level first-class merit medals obtained by the school officers and above were the highest-level third-class merit medals obtained by the school officers. The lieutenant who performed well in the war also obtained the highest-level fourth-class merit medals obtained by the lieutenant in accordance with the reported merits. The lieutenant who died bravely and the injured lieutenant also received the fifth-class, and the sixth-class ones were like Dabaicai. Almost as long as the officers who participated in this battle were not too embarrassing to win the sixth-class.
This is already stronger than the other two division commanders of the Central Division who won the fourth-class first-class merit medal. Even Liang Wenzhong, who was still stationed at the Longmenshan Independent Regiment Base in Qiutongzhou, won the fourth-class first-class merit medal because Liu Lang mentioned it in his military merit recommendation form. He was tied with the two lieutenant generals who were not good at fighting but had at least stepped on the front line for a while.
As for soldiers, the king is not stingy with rewards. Any soldier who is killed in battle with military merits, who is seriously injured and disabled, or has a great record of military merit, will receive the first-class medal of merit that soldiers can obtain. Even if they obtain the lowest level, it will be the eighth level.
No one can surpass the honors that the officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment have won.
The officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment were all happy. This medal gave not only glory, but also benefits. According to the promulgation regulations of the kingdom, the corresponding medals also had corresponding bonuses and living allowances. Those who have already sacrificed can also go to the local government to receive subsidies monthly to support their parents until they die and raise their children to adults.
This is just material things. The highest medal of honor won by Liu Lang and three others is almost equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death.
Only Liu Lang didn't look too smiling on his face. The more generous the king was, the more he smelled a conspiracy. Even if he blocked ten gold medals for withdrawal, Liu Lang himself might have the urge to hit people, let alone an authoritative leader of a country who cannot be challenged. Then would he be slapped in the face and give gifts so diligently?
