When the tide of warriors, carrying the remains of martyrs with a sad face, gradually disappeared from sight. Lin Hao withdrew his saluted hand.

Liu Wei walked up to Lin Hao and said in a low voice: "In the old army of the original base city, there are many officers and soldiers who abandon their positions, if it is not for Liu Daoqi to mobilize troops in time to replenish them, I am afraid that our losses will be greater." ”

Lin Hao's eyes shrank for a while, and a strong killing intent emanated from his body, and he said coldly: "What? And this kind of thing? Is the cold Judge Advocate General's Office just an ornament? ”

"The officers and soldiers who committed the crime were taken down by the Judge Advocate General's Department." Liu Wei hurriedly said.

Lin Hao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "Have all the people who have made meritorious contributions in combat been counted?" ”

Liu Wei nodded and took out a thick stack of lists from his arms.

Lin Hao glanced at the crowded square and muttered, "Hold a celebration meeting first, and then execute those people." ”

Liu Wei nodded and went straight to arrange everything.

After a while, in the sound of neat footsteps, the soldiers in tattered uniforms and stained with blood quickly rushed into the square, and there were no less than hundreds of people at a cursory glance.

These people are all people who have performed well in this defensive battle of the base city. In the neatly arranged phalanx, there is no shortage of mercenaries and civilians.

Lin Hao looked at the neatly saluted phalanx, returned a military salute, and roared approvingly: "You are all meritorious heroes of the base city, and you have performed well in this defensive battle. On behalf of all the military and civilians, I would like to thank you for your contributions. ”

Thunderous applause suddenly sounded on the square, and the black-pressed civilians couldn't see the edge at a glance, and they all craned their necks and looked at the phalanx of heroes in the distance. Excited applause and cheers.

"In order to commend your heroic performance in the defensive battle, I would like to ask Commander Lin of the base city to award you with the Medal of Bravery, and I hope you will make persistent efforts and make new achievements." The director of the Bureau of Statistics on Military Justice's Merits held a loudspeaker in his hand and shouted out his names one by one with excitement on his face.

The staff of the statistics bureau below hurriedly motioned for these people to walk to the high platform.

When more than a dozen soldiers wearing tattered military uniforms and covered in blood climbed the high platform excitedly, the audience applauded enthusiastically again.

"Lin, Commander Lin, good ......" a soldier gave a military salute and stammered.

"Okay, hard work. I'm so proud of you and I hope you keep up the good work, and I look forward to giving you another award. Lin Hao smiled and patted the soldier's shoulder, picked up a medal from the tray with his big hand, and pinned it to the soldier's chest with his own hands.

The warrior trembled with excitement, his lips opened and closed, but he could not speak.

Liu Wei stood behind Lin Hao and hurriedly glanced at the soldier. The soldier who came back to his senses saw a long queue around him, his face turned red, and he couldn't wait to leave Lin Hao, and shook hands with Liu Wei, Wang Meng and other generals one by one in order, and then walked off the stage amid the cheers of countless people.

With the passage of time, the loudspeaker continued to report the names one by one, and in this batch of lists, Liu Tiezhu's name attracted the attention of the two old men.

"Do you hear me, old man? I seem to hear the name of the iron pillar. An old woman asked, confused.

"Don't speak, don't shut up. It's a blessing that our baby didn't die, you still think that the baby will be awarded for meritorious service, and your mother-in-law is not afraid that others will hear the joke. The old man beside him glanced around and reprimanded angrily.

"I obviously heard Liu Tiezhu's name?" The old woman lowered her voice and muttered.

"Don't dream, I'll be content if the baby can pick up a life, don't think about those things that don't exist." The old man glared at his wife fiercely, then turned his gaze to the high platform, and watched Commander Lin present the award with great interest. In the square, there were fewer and fewer people standing with their hands tied. Soon, a young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old strode up to Lin Hao, saluted a little stiffly, and said timidly: "Commander Lin is a good ......."

Lin Hao looked at the young face in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "Judging by your age, you should still be a recruit, right?" Tell me the truth, are you afraid? ”

The recruit with a green face said with a red face: "Report to the commander, I just joined the Lin family army, and when I arrived at the position as a support force, I was scared to death, but with the patient encouragement of a veteran, I was not afraid." It's a pity that both the veteran and the captain died. After saying that, he lowered his head, and his eyes moistened.

Seeing that this person had attracted the attention of Commander Lin, the director of the Bureau of Combat Merit Statistics hurriedly pulled out Liu Tiezhu's military merit evaluation list, and reported in a low voice: "Commander Lin, after Liu Tiezhu was killed by the captain of the position, he took over the command, and used the whistle to guide the soldiers to replenish the troops. ”

Lin Hao's eyes lit up, and he praised: "You have courage and knowledge at a young age, yes, I am optimistic about you." I hope you will guard against arrogance and rashness, and make meritorious deeds again. "Hang the Medal of Valor on the chest of this recruit with his own hands.

Liu Tiezhu's green face was full of excitement, and he saluted: "Thank you Commander Lin for the compliment, I will work hard." After taking a deep look at Commander Lin, he reluctantly shook hands with Deputy Commander Liu Wei, Wang Meng and other major generals, turned to face the crowded square, performed an impeccable military salute, and slowly walked off the stage with a thin body.

"Old man, do you see that? I said that it was impossible to hear it wrong, that is our baby, that is the iron pillar! The old woman wept with joy and pointed to the figure of the military salute on the high platform, with a look of ecstasy.

The old man looked at the familiar face deadly, his lips squirmed, and said, "Wow, our family's baby has made meritorious service, or Commander Lin personally awarded the medal!" The baby is out. After saying hello a few times, muddy tears welled up. Choked up and speechless.

"Old man, what are you crying about? The baby is out, we should be happy! The old woman reached out and wiped away the tears from the old man's face, but at some point, her eyes were already wet with tears.

Lin Hao kept pinning the medal to the chest of the meritorious person, and the words of encouragement in his mouth kept saying. The mercenaries who came to receive the medal said that they wanted to join the Lin family's army, and of course Lin Hao was very satisfied with this, and agreed to the request of these free mercenaries on the spot.

When the excited mercenary left with a satisfied face, the figure that appeared immediately startled Lin Hao. Lost his voice and exclaimed: "Boss Lu, don't tell me that you have also killed a lot of aliens......" I was still very surprised that Boss Lu appeared here. I don't understand why Boss Lu appeared on the award list.

Lu Guangcai opened his mouth and smiled: "Back to Commander Lin's words, I saw that the air defense position near the restaurant, the soldiers had run out, so I took the guys in the store and rushed into the position." I don't know anti-aircraft guns, so I just fired desperately, just with my guys, I didn't expect to really let me kill a dozen aliens? If it weren't for the guys who didn't know how to load ammunition, maybe my old Lu would have been able to kill a few more! ”

Lin Hao's face was sluggish, is this a stupid person? A powerful alien would be shot by a restaurant owner more than a dozen times, and no one was lucky.

"Commander Lin, Boss Lu personally operated the anti-aircraft gun and really killed more than a dozen aliens! The people from the Military Merit Statistics Bureau saw with their own eyes that their subordinates did not dare to falsely report their military exploits! The director of the Bureau of Statistics said in a cold sweat. lest Lin Hao be executed on the spot on the charge of falsely reporting military merits.

"I believe it." Lin Hao came back to his senses and hurriedly pinned a medal to him.

Boss Lu's eyes lit up and said: "Commander Lin, for the sake of the villain's insistence on withdrawing from the position until the troops arrive, please ask the commander to inscribe a word for me!" "Since Lin Hao personally wrote the inscription, he will not owe anything on credit, after a few big words, anyone who consumes in the restaurant, whether it is a powerful mercenary or a high-ranking officer, no longer dares to owe wine money on credit.

Even the underworld people who knocked on their own bamboo poles did not dare to come to the restaurant to ask for protection money. The finances of his filial piety officials were also politely returned. My life is not moisturized.

When Lin Hao heard that he was going to write an inscription again, his head was suddenly as big as a fight. But looking at Boss Lu's earnest eyes, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree. Seeing this, Boss Lu waved goodbye to Lin Hao, and Zhu Zi greeted Wang Meng, Zhang Biao, Yu Zheng, Liu Daoqi and other bigwigs. Commander Lin and his son presented medals, and the major general-level cattle shook hands and greeted each other, Boss Lu's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he only felt that this was his most dazzling day. The triumphant Boss Lu walked off the high platform with a look of ecstasy.

At this time, in the square, all the meritorious people have been awarded. Lin Hao's smiling face gradually turned cold, and he said coldly: "Bring me the guy who escaped from the battle." ”

With Lin Hao's order issued, a large number of men outside the square with their heads drooping like earth, who were stripped of their military uniforms, and wore upper bodies, slowly passed through the civilian crowd under the push of the soldiers.

"You brutes, civilians are not afraid to die and fight aliens, how can you be embarrassed to escape."

"Scum, you shameful fellows who discredit the army."

"Kill them, and if you hadn't run away, there would have been so many dead." The civilians cursed one after another, and in the fire in their eyes, many people picked up the rubble on the ground and threw it at these guys. For a while, there was a shouting and shouting of killing, and one by one shirtless men, their heads were smashed and bleeding, and they were wailing. If it weren't for the desperate efforts of the warriors to stop them, the angry civilians would have beaten them to death.

Lin Hao looked at the large number of shirtless men crying and pleading, more than 2,000 soldiers, who became deserters. These people are all people from the old army under Wang Lei in Base City.

"Leng Li, I'll leave it to you. Lao Tzu doesn't want to look at this batch of scum. After Lin Hao finished speaking, he strode down the high platform and drove quickly away from the base city. After all, the Knives are still fighting aliens?

"Greedy for life and afraid of death, flee from the battle, immediately remove the military membership, and execute all of them, in order to ......set an example," Leng Li picked up the horn and shouted coldly.

When a group of shirtless men were escorted to the high platform and beheaded by the soldiers, countless soldiers and civilians applauded.

Nearly 2,000 deserters, many of whom were officers, were beheaded one by one in the presence of countless soldiers and civilians in the base city. Dying at the hands of aliens can still be admired by the world, and the honor of a martyr will be lost, and the family will also receive a large amount of compensation and be properly settled. Dying in military law can only leave him stinking for 10,000 years, causing his family to lose his military status and humiliating his family.
