A week passed quickly.

August 1 is the Army Day of China, but at this time, all the troops are training as usual, without holidays and rest.

At about ten o'clock in the morning of this day, the 1st Battalion ushered in several big leaders, Li Chong, the commander of the 11th Regiment, Zheng Qingshan of the 2nd Group Army, and Liu Yu, the chief of staff of the Xicheng Military Region, came over.

Because of the heroic performance of the 11th Regiment in the Battle of L-Mountain, the General Headquarters of the Central Military Commission awarded the glorious title of "First-Class Meritorious Regiment." Not only was the Central Military Commission General Headquarters awarded the honor of the 11th Regiment, but the Xicheng Military Region also honored the 11th Regiment with a collective first-class meritorious service.

This is the first regimental-level unit to be awarded a first-class meritorious service in combat since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

This is a supreme honor and pride for the soldiers of the 11th Regiment, and it is also an affirmation for them.

After going to the regiment headquarters, Chief of Staff Liu proposed that he wanted to come to the camp below to see the soldiers, and they were the masters of this credit.

Therefore, Li Chong hurriedly took the two of them to the 1st battalion first, and then went to the other battalions.

After receiving the notice, Niu Zhengfeng, the commander of the 1st Battalion, and Liu Fuqiang, the instructor, hurriedly took the company commander and instructors to gather at the gate to welcome them.

Everyone met, exchanged a few pleasantries, and walked to the training ground of the soldiers.

On the way, Liu Yu smiled and said: "Battalion Commander Niu, the soldiers you led are really good soldiers, and they have played our national and military prestige, and you are a good battalion commander." ”

Niu Zhengfeng hurriedly shook his head and said ashamedly: "As soon as the chief of staff said this, I was ashamed, I didn't go to the front line in this L-Mountain Battle, the battle was fought by the soldiers, and the commander was also several of their company commanders." Speaking of the back, his eyes were on the soldiers who were training hard in the distance.

Liu Yu nodded, and then followed to look at the training ground, his eyes filled with love and admiration.

Under the midsummer sun, all the fighters were practicing seriously, some lying on the ground, some walking quietly around, and occasionally the fighters lying on the ground suddenly jumped up and attacked the walking warriors.

The two people who fought against each other made real moves, and their movements were fast, and the sound of fists and feet colliding was also very loud, and the powerful military aura immediately dispersed.

On the leader's side, none of them spoke, and they all watched carefully.

Liu Yu looked at it for a few minutes, and suddenly his eyes flashed, so he took a few steps forward, looked at it carefully for a while, and then turned to Li Chong, "Commander Li, your regiment is carrying out a new training project?" ”

He looked at it carefully, and was sure that this training program was not available in the previous infantry units.

Li Chong also saw this training, but he didn't know it either, so he looked at Niu Zhengfeng and asked with his eyes.

"Report to the chief of staff and regiment commander, this is a new training that our battalion has only recently started trial training, and it was proposed by Su Luo, the commander of the 1st company." Niu Zhengfeng immediately looked at the two of them and reported.

When Liu Yu heard this, he smiled, "Oh? How did Su Luo come up with it? His eyes then looked at Su Luo gently.

When he was in the 11th Regiment, Li Chong told him in detail about several officers and soldiers who performed particularly well in the Battle of L-Mountain, including this Su Luo, Li Chong not only praised him, but also applied for personal first-class military merit for him.

Su Luo immediately saluted and replied: "Report to the Chief of Staff, I got the idea from the Battle of L Mountain. ”

Liu Yu was stunned for a few seconds, then reacted, and said in a deep voice: "Is it because of the night attack on Songling on July 12?" ”

"Yes, the Battle of Songling tells us that the soldiers must not only be strong during the day, but also at night, and in the face of the dark environment, we must also have strong combat effectiveness." Su Luo nodded.

The battle that day was fought very fiercely, and it was the largest casualty of our army since the recovery of the two mountains, and a large part of the reason was because of the successful night attack of the Y army.

Therefore, from the lesson of being attacked at night, Su Luo came up with night combat training, real night fighting.

Liu Yu looked at the soldiers on the training ground and nodded, "Indeed, not only scouts should have the ability to fight at night, but all soldiers should have them, especially a rapid reaction field force like you. ”

After speaking, he continued to look at Su Luo and reminded: "But the environment of the training ground is a bit single. ”

"What the chief of staff said is that my plan is to get them used to this kind of training first, and then take them to the field for training and conduct real dark operations." Su Luo continued.

As soon as Liu Yu heard this, he knew that he had a very comprehensive plan, so he immediately looked at him and nodded with a smile, then turned to Li Chong and said with a smile: "No wonder you keep praising him, he is really a particularly good officer." ”

After chatting a few words, Niu Zhengfeng took Liu Yu to the conference room in the camp.

Liu Yu also opened his mouth to say the purpose of this trip, "The headquarters of the Central Military Commission has awarded the 11th Regiment the honorary title of 'First-Class Meritorious Regiment', and now the Military Region will also award you honors, and I came here this time to award you the honorary title of 'Tiger Company' of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company on behalf of the Xicheng Military Region." ”

After speaking, he asked the accompanying guards to take out a bright red pennant and hand it to Niu Zhengfeng, and Niu Zhengfeng took it and handed it directly to Su Luo.

Su Luo took it with both hands and held the pennant tightly in his hand, his expression was both proud and heavy, this honor was earned by the soldiers with their blood and bodies.

Liu Yu looked at him with appreciation in his eyes, and then continued: "At the same time, the military region also recorded personal military merits for the soldiers and officers who performed bravely in this battle......

As he called out his name one by one, the guards also took out golden military medals.

Among the company commanders and instructors present, in addition to Su Luo's first-class military merit, Song Da and another foreign company commander were awarded second-class military merits, and seven soldiers were awarded third-class military merits.

Because the three of them were all in the conference room, Liu Yu personally awarded the medal, and as for the soldiers who were training, they could only let Niu Zhengfeng confer the medal.

Su Luo looked at the military medal in his hand, the pattern in the middle was their military emblem, and there were five golden water chestnuts around it, and the bright red color was extremely eye-catching in the middle.

The military merit medal is the supreme honor, but for him, in addition to the honor, it is also a reminder, always reminding him not to forget that he is a soldier and to be able to bear this military merit medal.

After Liu Yu conferred the medal, he looked at Li Chong and said with a smile: "The military region has just received an order from the headquarters of the Central Military Commission, and your 11th regiment will also participate in the military parade in October. ”

"We're going?" Li Chong was a little surprised, and then he understood that since he hadn't heard of it before, it could only be because of the Battle of L Mountain.

Liu Yu nodded, looked at Zheng Qingshan and said: "This National Day parade is extraordinary, not to mention the strong lineup, the Military Commission requires that all troops with honorary titles must send representatives to the team, and the 11th Regiment of your army is a "first-class meritorious regiment", and it is required to attend by name, and the 1st Company of the 'Tiger Company' must also be among them. ”

When Zheng Qingshan heard this, he glanced at Li Chong and the others, and was silent.

Liu Yu glanced at everyone's expressions, and then said solemnly: "This military parade has been prepared for a long time, and the momentum is huge, and not only the eyes of the whole army of our country will also be staring at it, so you not only represent our Xicheng Military Region, but also represent our army, and you must pay attention to it." ”

"Don't worry, chief of staff, we will definitely pay attention to it." Zheng Qingshan immediately responded.

Su Luo was thinking that the night training should start quickly, and there might be no time in the future.
