248: A military merit medal

The military merit medal system of the Han army has just been introduced recently, and the military merit medal is precisely the best representative item to show the honor of the soldiers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Eventually, after a series of discussions, the Han army finally introduced the military merit medal system.

Military merit medals are divided into five fixed ranks, as well as one fixed medal.

The fixed-rank medal is naturally easier to understand, and if the merit is enough, then a military merit medal of the corresponding level will be obtained accordingly.

From the lowest ranks, respectively, the Iron Cross, where the cross was erected, there was a rifle inside, and the position of the rifle was sharpened to a shiny.

This type of military medal is the easiest to obtain, and there are many ways to obtain it, for example, one of the most direct, simple and crude ways is to kill five enemies.

At the same time as receiving this medal, the soldier can also receive a reward of one month's salary corresponding to the rank. That is to say, if an ordinary soldier obtains this medal, then he will get a reward of four taels of silver, and if the squad leader obtains it, it will be a reward of six taels of silver.

In addition, you will receive 10 days of leave, which can be taken directly as a rest or with annual leave when you return to your residence.

However, it is unfortunate that soldiers do not have annual leave within three years of joining the army. When you are in the station, you only have three days off per month.

The second-class medal is a bronze cross, which looks the same as the Iron Cross, but the material is different, and the level of the military medal is distinguished by the material.

The first way is to accumulate five Iron Crosses, and when the fifth Iron Cross is awarded, two medals will be awarded at once, one Iron Cross and one Bronze Cross.

The second way is to kill three officers above the battalion commander of the enemy army to obtain a bronze cross.

The difficulty of obtaining increases, and correspondingly, the rewards naturally increase. Not only can you enjoy a vacation that is too difficult, but you can also get two months of military pay as a reward.

In addition to this, one of the most attractive bonuses is that you can be promoted directly to the next level after you have served in your current position for more than a year. If it is less than one year, it will be directly included in the list of reserve cadres, priority will be given to training, and it will be directly promoted after the qualifications are reached.

In the face of these military industrial factions, the reserve cadres who were favored by Wang Sirui in the past are about to stand behind.

This is a reward for those brave soldiers, and it is also a spur to those reserve cadres.

The third is the Aluminum Cross, which is several times more difficult to obtain than the first two, first of all, you have to kill an enemy officer at the rank of division commander or higher.

Either they have made outstanding contributions to the attack on large cities, such as Ma Long, who took Taiyuan without a single shot by virtue of his own strength.

In addition to Ma Long, the commander of the Third Army, Wu Yang, also received an aluminum cross medal for the occupation of Shanxi by his Third Army with minimal casualties.

Although the defenders of Shanxi did not resist, Wu Yang can be said to be able to get this military merit medal lying down, but as high-level commanders, they have no chance to go to the front line to kill the enemy, so they must be given a chance to get the military merit medal, right?

The fourth type is more rare, it is a silver cross, and the conditions for obtaining this one are also more demanding, and it can be obtained by commanders who win large battles and destroy a large number of enemies.

The fifth type is the Cross made of pure gold, which is the highest level of the medal hierarchy and the most difficult to obtain. This medal was awarded only to high-ranking generals who had made meritorious contributions to foreign wars, and the only condition was the destruction of the country.

And that irregular medal, although there is no reward, is only a commemorative medal, but for most ordinary soldiers, it is also worth it, because this medal will affirm their merits, as long as there is this medal, no one can deny their merits.

Xiangyang!

The officers and men of the 32nd Division were very depressed, they first attacked Shanxi from Hebei, and then went all the way south to the Yellow River, and in the middle they recovered several cities and more than 10 county seats.

As a result, as soon as the battle was over, an order was issued, and in desperation, the 32nd Division had no choice but to collect troops, and after changing guards with the 30th Division, the whole army assembled by the Yellow River.

It passed through Henan, and then went south again from Nanyang, and entered the boundary of Hubei.

This journey was not an easy task for the 32nd Division. First of all, when crossing the Yellow River, this was embarrassing to death Li Chongyi.

There were not enough boats to allow the army to cross the river, and the Yellow River was too wide and the current was so strong that there was no way to build a temporary bridge.

In the end, Wang Sirui's suggestion was adopted, and the boats were collected on a large scale, no matter how big or small, and then the boats were connected together with wooden planks, and wooden planks were laid on them to make them smoother, and then they crossed the Yellow River on the pontoon bridge that could scare people to death.

As a result, just after they crossed the Yellow River, the troops of the original Fourth Army had already occupied Hankou and were trying to cross the river to continue to occupy the remaining two towns in Wuhan.

However, as soon as the troops arrived in Xiangyang, the baggage team caught up here, forcing the 32nd Division to stay here for half a day.

Of course, if it was because there was an enemy in front of them, it would have been fine, but now where the army has passed, there is no Qing army that has resisted at all.

Those Qing troops either fled early, or surrendered, and this time the Han army's attack was more like a hasty run to regain territory.

Looking at the medal on his chest, Li Chongyi couldn't laugh or cry.

As a general, the first medal he received turned out to be not for his military exploits, but a medal.

A round iron medallion with some traces of mountains on it, and the word Shanxi is printed on the top.

All the officers and soldiers who participated in the recovery of Shanxi, each of them had one such medal.

This is a yes for the military.

But in the eyes of some people, this is ironic, the military merit medal won by the soldier is not a war merit, but a commemoration, and I am afraid that I am embarrassed to say it.

But there is no way, if you don't bring this medal, it's not easy to explain it to your superiors and subordinates, no matter what, people are finally kind, aren't they?

At the same time, the three divisions left behind by the Third Army, as well as the units of the three divisions of the thirty-second and thirty-ninth divisions, which were divided into the Fourth Army, received this commemorative medal almost in about the same time.

The soldiers looked at this thing with some surprise, so they eagerly carried it to their chests and stroked it from time to time, as if it were their own children.

Tian Li stood at the front of the line, a little drumming in his heart, he didn't know why the company commander let him go out alone, and the company commander didn't tell him, but called him out with a smile.

Usually in this case, most of them are to be criticized for the rhythm.

But Tian Li thinks that he has not done anything to violate discipline, even if he is criticized, it will not be his turn?

At the same time, in the 32nd Division, there were three other companies where the same scene occurred.

The fighters who were called to the front of the line were equally confused, having no idea what was really going on.

"The division commander has arrived!" The company commander, who had been standing opposite each other, saw the division commander who was rushing here, and immediately shouted loudly, and the soldiers below immediately stood up and prepared to welcome the arrival of the division commander.

Behind the division commander, followed by the brigade commander, regiment commander, battalion commander, anyway, the direct superior commander of their company was all here.

It's just that the faces of these chief officers are not very good-looking, as if they have encountered something unhappy.

Li Chongyi walked to the front of the line, and the guards behind him held a tray in their hands, which was covered with a red cloth, and they couldn't see what was inside.

"In the field?" Li Chongyi asked.

"Report to the division commander, soldier field, report to you!" Tian Li saluted and reported loudly.

Li Chongyi returned a military salute to the field, lifted the red cloth on the tray, picked up the Iron Cross, and displayed it in front of everyone.

"Any idea what this is?" Li Chongyi asked, holding the Iron Cross.

The soldiers below shook their heads one after another, this medal looks very good, although it is also made of iron, but whether it is the style or the way Li Chongyi treats it, it tells everyone that this is not an ordinary medal.

"Military merit medal, this is the real military merit medal. In the campaign to regain Shanxi, a total of three soldiers of our division received this military merit medal, and the conditions for obtaining it were very simple, killing five enemies. When I got this military medal, I was a little angry, why didn't those defenders in Shanxi resist? We could have had more people get this medal, but now, we haven't been able to get it.

But then I thought about it, isn't it good if the enemy doesn't resist? At least now you can still stand in front of me. But then again, how can a soldier always think of surrendering without a fight? So, I want to tell you that we are a Han army, a disciplined army.

When we encounter those enemies who do not resist, or even surrender, we must treat them well. But if we encounter those enemies who are desperately resisting, then we will exchange their heads for our military medals. Speaking of this, Li Chongyi looked at the field and encouraged: "You are very good, you did not embarrass our 32nd Division, you are the first batch, and we are the only one who has won the three military merit medals." ”

After speaking, Li Chongyi personally brought the military medal in his hand to the chest of the field, and stood side by side with the medal.

Then he took the four taels of silver from the tray and gave them to the field.

"Now that you have ten days of vacation, you can choose to rest now, or you can choose to rest after returning to the station, and after thinking clearly, you can apply directly to your company commander." Li Chongyi said slowly, but he also knew what kind of harm this military medal would bring to the troops, so he continued:

"I know you all want to get it, but I don't want it to be exchanged for those civilians, or those who don't resist, or even surrender to the enemy, our thirty-second division has no bad seeds, military merit medals, we only get them on the battlefield." (To be continued.) )
