Chapter 22 Meritorious Service
Li Dongsheng sent Wan Lin and the others back to the guest house, and followed Wang Tiecheng to the Provincial State Security Bureau to report the situation to the leaders.
The physically and mentally exhausted team members took a beautiful hot bath in the guest house, and then came to the restaurant for dinner. When they walked to the restaurant, they were amazed by the table full of dishes, and the table was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Zhang Wa raised her chopsticks and shouted, "It's too rich, brothers!" As soon as he picked up a piece of sea cucumber, Li Dongsheng walked in with Wang Molinfu, director of the National Security Bureau, and the leaders of the provincial department, and everyone quickly put down their chopsticks and stood up to salute. Director Wang waved his hand happily and asked everyone to sit down quickly.
He picked up his wine glass and said loudly, "Brothers, as a former veteran, I just want to say one thing today, that is, you have used blood and sweat, life and death to fight the military might of the Chinese army!" Played our national prestige! Played the prestige of the Flower Cat Commando! Thank you, Motherland! The NSA thanks you! I thank you! I will definitely ask the Military Commission for credit for you! Come on, do it! He drank it all down.
These soldiers, who were bleeding and sweating on the battlefield, heard the old soldiers' voices "The motherland thanks you!" They shed tears...
Because their blood was not shed in vain! They were content. They roared "Serve the Motherland!" Pick up the glass and drink it all.
Two days later, Li Dongsheng and Wang Tiecheng led Wan Lin to the Armed Police Hospital to change Xiaohua's medicine, and then visited the injured Dali and Chengru. Dali was wounded in the back by shrapnel from a rocket, and 6 shrapnel were removed during the operation; Cheng Ru was shot by a sniper rifle bullet, which entered through the right rib and stopped at the left rib grazing his heart. Lying vigorously on the bed, Cheng Ru was lying on his back on the bed, and when the two saw them, they wanted to get up, and they were pressed down by Wan Lin.
While everyone was greeting in the ward, Li Dongsheng asked the accompanying dean a little nervously, "How are they doing?" The dean happily replied, "These two people are in very good health, and there is no danger to their lives after the operation." For now, as long as you recuperate for a while, you'll be fine."
Li Dongsheng's heart relaxed, "I want to transfer them to our military hospital, can you see it?" the director smiled and said, "No problem, but they have to lie down and go back."
On the way back to the guest house, Captain Wang Tiecheng of the armed police looked at Wan Lin carefully and said, "Half a year of hard work, I have grown taller and matured." In the past six months, the state has invested in building roads in the mountains, and they are about to be repaired to your doorstep. I sent someone to see your grandfather last month. Why don't you go home this time? Wan Lin glanced up at Li Dongsheng, who smiled and said, "This time I want to go back to summarize the battle, and I will go back when I get the military merit medal."
Wan Lin nodded silently, Wang Tiecheng's words reminded him of his grandfather, the mountains and forests where he had lived since he was a child, and there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
On the third day, the assault team returned to the base by plane, and the ambulance directly pulled Cheng Ru and Dali to the military hospital. In the next few days, Li Dongsheng organized the commando team to review and summarize the battle.
On the afternoon of this day, Li Dongsheng happily returned from the military region and reported the good news to everyone: At the request of the National Security Bureau and the application of the military region, the Central Military Commission finally approved it: the "Leopard Commando" was awarded a collective first-class meritorious service; Wan Lin was awarded special merit and was directly promoted to the rank of second lieutenant; Wang Dali, Zhang Wa and Cheng Ru were promoted to sergeant, Cheng Ru was promoted to lieutenant, and the rest of the personnel were awarded second- and third-class merits and promoted to the ranks. Li Dongsheng was awarded the rank of colonel.
After the award ceremony, Li Dongsheng smiled and said to Wan Lin, "Okay, you can go to the hospital to visit Dali and Chengru, and by the way, check Xiaohua to see how it is recovering?" After watching them, I'll give you 20 days of vacation and go back to see grandpa, which is a reward for you from the team. My second lieutenant", said as he threw the car keys to him, "drive my car".
Wan Lin stroked the little flower lying on his shoulder, "Thank you, captain." I've been dying in a hurry for the past few days, and I've been trying to go to the hospital to see them", took the key and ran out.
Wan Lin ran back to the dormitory and picked up Zhang Wa and ran out, "Let's go, look at the big go", Zhang Wa heard it and shouted, "Really, ask the captain for leave first." Wan Lin shook the key in his hand, and said beautifully, "The captain gave me all the cars, what kind of leave do you have?"
The two drove the car fast and came to the provincial capital. Entering the city, Zhang Wa shouted next to her, "Slow down, there are many people in the city." Find a mall to stop by and buy something to comfort them."
At the mall, the two of them bought a bunch of fruits and nutritional products in large bags. When I came to the hospital, I happened to see Xiaoli supporting Dali, and Rong Rong helping Chengru to walk in the hospital.
Seeing their strength from afar, with a high-voiced Shandong accent, "Dolls, do you remember me", the two ran over with something, Zhang Wa circled around the two, and patted the back of the vigorous "It's good", and vigorously grinned and shouted "Light, my little ancestor".
Xiaoli and Rong Rong, who saw Wan Lin and Zhang Wa, threw down Cheng Ru and ran vigorously to the pile of condolences on the ground, and shouted with a smile, "I'm here to send us delicious food again", Zhang Wa's little face tense, "What is for you, this is for the wounded, stand aside", Rong Rong showed a bright smile, "Hehe, it's for us, don't believe you ask them."
Cheng Ru smiled beside him and said, "No, in the past few days, the Li Brigade and the head of the military region have come and gone for three days, and they have brought a bunch of food and drink when they come back." But as soon as they left, the things ran to their nurses' station, and they called it "they kept it for us with their mouths."
The chubby Rong Rong stuffed a banana into her mouth, staring at the little flower on Wan Lin's shoulder and wanted to touch it but didn't dare to touch it, "Little mountain people, you are too boring, you don't want to see your sister when you come back, your sister looks at the window every day", "Nonsense, I can't stop your mouth when I eat"
Wan Xiaoya, who had just run over with a smile, slapped Rong Rong.
"Whoosh", Xiaohua, who had been lying on Wan Lin's shoulder, wagged her tail and jumped onto Xiaoya's shoulder, so happy that Xiaoya hugged Xiaohua into her arms. Suddenly, he saw the bandages tied to Xiaohua's hind legs, and shouted at Wan Lin distressedly, "What's wrong with you?" Wan Lin hurriedly replied, "It's injured, it's fine, you can change it in a while."
Xiao Ya heard that Xiaohua was fine, so she carefully stroked Xiaohua's fluff and circled around Wan Lin, fluttering her long eyelashes, and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, second lieutenant." You've been promoted! "Touching the one-bar and one-star epaulettes hanging on Wan Lin's shoulders" How is it possible, the last time I saw you, you were still a private, why did you get promoted to second lieutenant directly? ”
Xiaoli also looked at Zhang Wa and shouted, "Why did you become a sergeant?" Rong Rong stuffed a banana in her mouth and muttered vaguely, "It can't be borrowed, right?" ”
"Hmph" Zhang Wa pulled Cheng Ru and Wang Dali to her side, straightened her chest and pouted, "Borrow, how can we do that useless thing." Listen up: first-class heroes Zhang Wa, Wang Dali and Cheng Ru are here."
"First-class merit, my mother" The three girls' eyes widened and their faces were shocked, this is the title of hero.
No wonder they were surprised, in peacetime, meritorious heroes of the first class and above were approved by the Central Military Commission, and there were only a few in the entire military region, but they had never seen one.
Xiaoya hurriedly took Wan Lin's hand and asked eagerly, "Where are you?" Wan Lin blushed and didn't answer, Zhang Wa stretched his tone next to him, "Well, I'm sorry...", he paused, saw the expectant eyes of the three girls, and shouted loudly, "Special merit!" "Ahh
Back in the ward, Rong Rong's quick mouth spread the news of three first-class meritorious heroes and one special meritorious hero in the 302 ward all over the nurses' station, and specially mentioned that the little mountain people who caused a sensation in the military region were inside.
The young and beautiful little nurses, one holding a hanging bottle and the other holding a syringe, shuttled into Ward 302 like a marquee, first carefully examined the four people like a big horse monkey, and finally walked to the side of the little mountain man and pinched his arm, touched his head, and then ran out with a smile. The faces of the four old men who did not change color in the rain of bullets turned red and were at a loss.
Xiaoya hugged Xiaohua, smiled and pulled the embarrassed Wan Lin out of the ward, "Let's go, change Xiaohua's dressing", and carried Xiaohua to the trauma treatment room. When she carefully untied the gauze on Xiaohua's hind legs, she saw a round hole and exclaimed, "Penetrating wound, this is a gunshot wound."
Then she stopped making a sound, just silently cleaned Xiaohua's wound, bandaged it again after applying the medicine, and then gently kissed Xiaohua's forehead.
After doing this, she slowly raised her head, her big bright eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, and asked softly, "What did you do?" How is it a gunshot wound? ”
Looking at Xiao Ya's eyes full of worry, Wan Lin's heart trembled, this big boy who has been lonely since he was a child, suddenly felt a warmth that he had never felt before!
He grabbed Xiaoya's hand, "Sister, it's okay, don't worry", and pointed to his epaulettes, "I'm a second lieutenant, I'm an adult, I can take care of myself." By the way, the captain gave me 20 days off, I want to go back to see my grandfather, can you go? ”
Xiaoya's eyes lit up suddenly, she flashed her eyes and said happily, "I have annual leave, and I have long wanted to see your legendary grandfather, let's leave tomorrow." I often hear Zhang Wa mention the magic of Wanjia Kung Fu in the chat, and she has long been full of desire for the grandfather who raised and taught this little brother.
Since she was a child, she has been pampered and used to raising Xiaoya, and she is used to seeing the exaggerated children who revolve around her every day in the city. Since the last time this simple big boy rescued her on a long bus, she has developed a great curiosity and affection for this boy with a big cat.
Every time she was with this brother she had unintentionally recognized, she could feel a fresh, down-to-earth feeling that she had never felt before. Since she knew that Wanlin's parents died and there was only one grandfather who had depended on each other in the mountains and forests since childhood, her heart was full of love and pity.
