The next morning, before dawn, Luo Yue woke up, and rarely had the idea of not wanting to get up. He and Zhou Weiying are still young, and they are also very affectionate, they haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and they are naturally very eager for each other, so after coaxing Xiao Yuandong to sleep at night, the two of them naturally couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and burned like dry firewood, and loved each other until they were exhausted before falling asleep.

And when Luo Yue woke up, the two were still entangled in their limbs, and it was difficult to leave. It took Luo Yue a lot of perseverance to finally break free from the embrace with his wife and get up and dress.

However, although Luo Yue's movements were gentle, he still woke up the sleeping Zhou Weiying, and he also got up and said, "I'll drive you to the barracks." ”

Luo Yue pressed her down on the bed again, and said, "No need, you can sleep a little longer, and I'll just take the shuttle bus by myself." Saying that, he gently kissed Zhou Weiying on the forehead, and then went to the baby room to see Xiao Yuandong, yesterday, Xiao Yuandong was not very close to Luo Yue, which also made Luo Yue very helpless, but when he got up in the morning, Luo Yue still looked at his son, and then went downstairs.

At this time, Aunt Li had already gotten up and made breakfast for Luo Yue. After Luo Yue finished breakfast, he went to see the four children, and when he saw that they were sleeping soundly, he did not alarm them and left the house to go to the barracks.

Today is a commendation for the Marine Corps, which is presided over by Shang Jinfeng of the Navy Department himself, in fact, the first two batches of returning Marine Corps members have already been commended, and this is the last batch. The first is to carry out a military rank promotion, and Luo Yue was the first to be promoted, promoted from major general to lieutenant general. Originally, at Luo Yue's current age, he was already on a rocket when he was promoted to a major general, and now he has been promoted to a lieutenant general, no matter how much it was in that era, it was a huge miracle.

However, since its establishment, East China has been at war, and it can be said that the wars fought in this short period of 8 years are more than the wars experienced by contemporaries of American soldiers in the old time and space. Not to mention the contemporaneous China in the old time and space. If there are many wars, then the promotion of officers will naturally be faster, just like this time in the Far East War, with the combat exploits of the Marine Corps under the command of Luo Yue, it is not too much to even be promoted by two levels.

Of course, Luo Yue is not the only one who has been promoted this time, in addition to Luo Yue, there are more than 6,000 people promoted, Bi Jing has been fighting for a long time this time, and the People's Army has won again, so there are naturally many people who have been promoted. Promotion is not only an increase in military rank, but also an increase in salary, benefits, and subsidies, which can be said to be fame and fortune.

After the promotion, the next step is to reward the meritorious officers and soldiers, which has nothing to do with the position and income, but is a very high honor, because in various celebrations and activities, soldiers can hang these medals on their clothes to show their victories. The treatment of soldiers in East China is quite generous, exceeding the average level of society, travel tasks, participating in battles and additional subsidies, and there will be a discharge fee when they are discharged; and the soldiers who die on the battlefield can also get a generous pension, and their families will also be well taken care of, so the reward for military exploits is not based on materials and money, but focuses on honor, and to form a kind of respect for soldiers in society. Of course, the army also needs to maintain a good work style and strict military discipline that is close to the people, and in these two sides, East China has done a good job so far.

The first is that each soldier can receive a medal of victory in the Far Eastern War in memory of their participation in the battle and their contribution to the victory.

A total of 2 regiments, 5 battalions, and 12 companies were awarded by the group, including 3 first-class meritorious service, 7 second-class meritorious service, 9 third-class meritorious service, and 8 honorary titles. The group merit and honorary titles were awarded a medal flag, which could be hung in the honor room of each unit's camp, and the honorary title could be indicated on the team's military flag in the future battle.

In the end, the individual was honored, of course, it also started from Luo Yue, he won a total of 3 medals, namely the Far Eastern War Special Outstanding Contribution Medal, which is a medal specially established for this war, divided into special outstanding contributions, outstanding contributions, contributions, first-class combat heroes, second-level combat heroes, third-level combat heroes six, the first three are awarded to officers above the school level, and the last three are awarded to the school level and below, and non-commissioned officers, Soldiers' Senate Medal, which is a medal specially set up for veterans who have made military exploits, and the Ninety-Six Medal, which is currently the highest honor medal in East China, 96 refers to September 6, that is, the day when the travelers came to this era, so this medal is specially set up to commemorate it.

Of course, in addition to Luo Yue, there are as many as 3,600 people who have received various medals, and this time a total of more than 4,000 medals were issued, because many people received two medals. On the whole, there are fewer people who receive medals than those who are promoted, because in order to receive medals and medals, it is necessary to have outstanding and outstanding performance on the battlefield, and generally only combat units have more opportunities, while fire support units such as artillery and machine gunners have far fewer opportunities. Promotion is not only based on military merits, the accumulation of seniority is also very important, because it is promoted at the bottom of the rank, basically as long as it reaches a certain number of years, and there is no problem, you can get promoted.

In the afternoon, first of all, there is a mourning for the dead, and a group of soldiers are discharged, and a farewell ceremony is held for them, and finally there is a soldier's vacation, because the war is over, and the soldiers who participate in the war will get a longer period of vacation, to reunite with their families, or to solve personal lifelong events, etc.

Fortunately, this time the Marines withdrew from Japan in three batches, and most of the soldiers who were on leave in the first two batches also returned, so this group of soldiers on vacation will not cause an empty camp, but Luo Yue still decided to divide the soldiers into three groups and take a week apart, so as to ensure that the soldiers can return in turn in a short time.

But in this way, those soldiers take leave first, those soldiers take vacation later, and in addition, if some soldiers prove that there is something at home, they can also apply for priority to get the right to leave, and even extend the vacation time, but all this needs to be decided by Luo Yue, who is the commander of the whole army, and has a leave slip and signature. Therefore, he worked until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when he signed all the leave sheets of the first batch of soldiers on leave, and then handed them to his adjutants and distributed them to the various units. Luo Yue came home from work.

At home, after a day of getting along, the children's sense of strangeness towards Luo Yue has also decreased a lot, and calling their father is not so blunt. Xiao Yuandong did not resist Luo Yue's relatives, and after dinner, Luo Yue played with the children for a while, and especially teased Xiao Yuandong for a while, and then returned to his study and continued to write a report. I also feel that it is better to be at home.

The next day, Luo Yue got up early in the morning, first went to the barracks to report, and then went to the Central Military Commission for a meeting, which was attended by Xiao Jianjun, Shang Jinfeng, and several staff officers from the General Staff Headquarters of the Central Military Commission. Of course, today's keynote speaker is Luo Yue, and everyone should determine the positioning of the Marine Corps based on his report.

Luo Yue first summed up the combat experience of the Marine Corps this time, and in this war, the Marine Corps participated in many battles, and as the main business of the Marine Corps, the landing operations were carried out three times, namely the Lushun landing battle, the Vladivostok landing battle, and the Noto Peninsula landing battle, and these operations were all completed by the Marine Corps alone.

In addition to the landing battle, the Marine Corps also participated in many land wars, the most important of which were the two major battles, the Battle of the Muling River and the Japanese Land War, but these battles were not completed by the Marines alone, but together with the Army.

Luo Yue's conclusion is that unlike the marines in the old time and space, the current marines do not have the ability to independently go deep into the land, and the main reason is the lack of firepower. Due to the special nature of the Marine Corps, the support fire was mainly based on mortars, and the whole army had a regiment of 75-mm field artillery, armed with 56 75-mm field guns.

Although the mortar has the advantages of being easy and flexible, easy to operate, the rate of fire is also good, and it can fight with the synchronized troops, and it is indeed the best choice for the Marine Corps, but compared with conventional artillery, the power is still a lot worse, even if it is a 100 mm caliber mortar, the power is slightly inferior to that of a 75 mm field gun. Therefore, mortars can only be used as auxiliary firepower of the Marine Corps, and the real support firepower still depends on the naval guns of warships, which determines that the combat range of the Marine Corps can only be covered by the artillery.

In the old time and space, fire support has long been not by artillery, but **, whether it is equipped on the ground ** on the warship, or carried by various carrier-based helicopters and attack aircraft, its strike range can go hundreds of kilometers inland, so the marines of the old time and space can naturally independently go deep into hundreds of kilometers inland to fight, at least theoretically.

What's more, in the old time and space, the Marine Corps was not flat, but three-dimensional, and could take the remaining carrier-based helicopters to independently go deep into the land to fight airborne, which was not possessed by the Marine Corps in this era, so the independent combat range of the Marine Corps is indeed very limited, and according to the experience of this war, Luo Yue believes that this range is calculated from the coast and extends 30 kilometers inland.
