As soon as the chairman's voice fell, several tall and dignified-looking etiquette ladies walked up with trays.

With a smile on his face, the chairman took out a certificate-like object from the first tray and handed it over. Ren Laifeng took it with both hands and looked at it carefully, only to see a patterned box on the outside of this award certificate, and a big title was written from top to bottom on the right side of the frame: "Army, Navy and Air Force Martial Arts". Further to the left, the small one block letters record the winning troops and the reason for the awards.

"The Northeast Guerrilla Brigade of the Zizi Army received this certificate for its special merits in the Zhaodong Battle. Behind him was the chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, Jiang Zhongzheng. "The Wugong Chronicle is followed by several columns of small print, which record the Northeast guerrillas killing Lieutenant General Kawasaki Hiroki, chief of staff of the Fourth Army of the Second Front of the Japanese Kwantung Army, through an ambush outside the city of Zhaodong. The last affix is the year, month and day.

The Army, Navy, and Air Force Meritorious Service Certificates are the highest honors bestowed on a unit by the Central Military Commission. In the Battle of Shanggao, Li Tianxia of the 51st Division of the 74th Army won the No. 1 Army, Navy and Air Force Martial Arts Certificate. In Ren Laifeng's hand is such a certificate of merit that represents the supreme military exploits! For a troop, this martial art is basically the highest honor.

After reading it, even Ren Laifeng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. He raised his hand to salute the chairman, turned to face the audience, saluted, and displayed the martial arts of the Air Force. The audience stands and applauds!

"Now, let's ask the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Guerrillas, General Ren Laifeng, to talk about his mood at this moment." The chairman smiled and pointed to the microphone.

How many times have I prepared before coming, and Ren Laifeng is naturally in the chest. There are many high-ranking generals in the venue, and no matter how wind falls, they are not stage frightened. It was not uncommon for him to speak in public to hundreds or thousands of officers and soldiers under his command, and although the people in this hall were of high rank and fame, they were all human beings, so they would be treated as ordinary soldiers.

Ren Laifeng is standing on the rostrum, and he is talking eloquently. First of all, the detailed course of the battle in Zhaodong was introduced. Of course, in his introduction, killing Kawasaki Hiroki was not a manslaughter, but a deliberate ambush.

Kawasaki is also a Japanese general, and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of lieutenant general, to say that he was killed because he recognized the wrong person, wouldn't it be a bit unworthy of people's rank? In the narrative, it was Ren Laifeng who had been preparing for a long time and ambushed heavy troops on the road that the Japanese chief of staff had to pass, and when he arrived, the soldiers all fought bravely and launched a thunderous blow to kill the Japanese chief.

Subsequently, Ren Laifeng talked about the hatred of the people in Northeast China against the Japanese invaders, and how he led the anti-Japanese guerrillas in Northeast China to arrive and was welcomed by the local people. Heroes from all walks of life came to vote, and puppet soldiers from all over the country rushed to get in touch with him, hoping to join the anti-Japanese army anyway.

In short, Ren Laifeng's speech lasted nearly 40 minutes, and none of the high-ranking officials present fell asleep. And the chairman of the committee has always stood behind him, and he has always been in good spirits from beginning to end.

As soon as Ren Laifeng finished speaking, the audience erupted in thunderous applause again. The chairman of the committee also clapped his hands lightly on the stage, always with a happy smile on his face.

The spotlight flashed, and the reporters of the major domestic newspapers urgently captured it. The award ceremony was basically a commendation meeting within the national army, and no foreign journalists were invited. Of course, there were press conferences, and that had to be after that.

The Navy, Army and Air Force martial arts certificates are aimed at the entire Northeast Anti-Japanese guerrillas, and there is also a special medal issued to Ren Laifeng, a first-class Baoding Medal. In addition, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Guerrillas were rewarded with 200,000 yuan in silver!

The 200,000 silver dollar hostess must not be able to move, and in the tray is a large cash check from the Bank of China. Take this piece of paper to any Chinese bank in the world and exchange it for 200,000 silver dollars or its equivalent. That's real money! Ren Laifeng took the check and showed it in his arms, which must not be lost!

After the end of the award ceremony, it was relatively late, and Chen Cheng announced the end of the award ceremony. Ren Laifeng thought he could go, but a lieutenant colonel officer stopped him, "Commander-in-chief, the chairman of the committee is invited." "Yes, just this sentence, I can't leave if the wind comes. Summoned by the commission, the opportunity to get ahead has come!

Ren Laifeng followed the attendant military attache into a lounge, where the chairman was sitting on the couch, drinking boiled water from his famous glass. Seeing Ren Laifeng coming in, he pointed to the end of the sofa, "Our hero is here, please take a seat." ”

Sitting on the same couch with the chairman? Such a mistake of principle will not be made if it is left untouched. The leader is letting it, and if you really go to sit down, you will be stupid. There is also a single sofa next to it, and Ren Lai sits on it in a regular manner. There was a slight flash of appreciation on the chairman's face.

"How does it feel to come to Chongqing? Compared with the Northeast, is it better to accompany all or over there? The chairman looked at Ren Laifeng with great interest.

"Well, to put it this way, the two sides are geographically different, and each has its own strengths. If you want to say that it is livable, now this season must be accompanied by the capital. It's too cold in the Northeast, and the water drips into ice outside. When a basin of water was poured into the yard, the water froze into ice when it reached the ground. ”

Speaking of other Ren Lai Feng may not be good at it, when it comes to the cultural climate of the Northeast, Ren Lai Feng can say too many things. After all, Qinggang County, where he is located, and Chongqing, the capital of China, are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the climate and geography are very different.

Ren Laifeng didn't know if the chairman had been to the Northeast, but this did not delay him from talking about it. Since it only introduced geographical customs and did not mix politics and military affairs, the chairman listened to it with relish. I guess there are probably not many people who dare to talk to him like this, right?

"This is your first time in Chongqing, right? What is your impression of the escort? ”

"It is an international metropolis, prosperous and lively. However, it is the Japanese planes that always come to bomb that makes people angry. ”

When he listened to the first sentence, the chairman of the committee was still happy, and after listening to the last sentence, his face immediately sank. Ren Laifeng's heart lifted. This is probably the aura, right? The aura of the chairman is too strong.

After being cold for about two minutes, the chairman sighed softly, with a bit of loneliness in his tone, "Our country's industry and economy are too backward, and the aircraft are not as good as others, so we can't control air supremacy!" ”

Ren Laifeng saw that it was not okay to go on like this, and his eyes turned to have an idea, whether it was a good plan or a bad idea, it was a good idea to quickly divert the attention of the chairman.

"We don't have many planes, but we have a lot of machine guns! Why don't you get more machine guns for air defense? ”
