After the victory, the atmosphere of the meeting is always extraordinarily relaxed, which is the joy that belongs to the winner.

Under the brainstorming discussions of the generals, during the winter offensive, some problems and difficulties existing in each unit were raised one by one, and then corresponding solutions were obtained.

After this topic passed, it soon came to the "Appreciation of Merit" section that everyone was most interested in.

The regiment commanders who had made military merits, including some brigade commanders, hurriedly sat upright, with expectant eyes, thinking that maybe they would be praised by the deputy commander-in-chief or commanders for their military exploits this time.

If anyone can have this honor, they will be able to stand up immediately in the pile of old comrades-in-arms.

Although Li Yunlong didn't speak, his head had already been raised high, and he looked like our old Li Jun's great achievements and no one was convinced.

After the launch of this autumn offensive, he, Li Yunlong, as the commander-in-chief of the mobile combat unit of the Eighth Route Army, led the elite mobile group of the Iron Triangle to fight for thousands of miles.

Starting from the Taihang area, to Hebei, Shandong, Jinmen, and Beiping, there are mobile troops led by Li Yunlong.

In this autumn offensive, his exploits in the battle by Li Yunlong are obvious to all.

Ding Wei had a smile on his face, and his eyes were shining.

As the commander of the Iron Triangle Field Group, Ding Wei was also too addicted after the autumn offensive was launched.

No matter which base area, no matter what the battlefield, whenever he Ding Wei led the elite field group to attack the past, everywhere he passed was devastating, as if entering a no-man's land.

Under his command, the steel helmets of the Eighth Route Army shone brightly in this autumn offensive operation, and the Japanese soldiers were terrified.

From these points of view, if we really talk about the military exploits, if we only comment according to the level of the regiment commander, the military exploits made by Ding Wei and Li Yunlong can definitely be among the best.

Even some brigade-level combat units and detachment-level combat units may not be able to compare with the two of them.

Compared with Li Yunlong, who held his head high, and Ding Wei, who was confident, Kong Jie's expression was much calmer, and he still looked like an honest man, with a little smile on his face.

If you are not familiar with him, you still think that he is an inconspicuous and dispensable small role in the meeting!

After the official opening of the commendation conference.

The deputy commander-in-chief first praised the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area, especially the troops of the Jizhong Military Region, for carrying out their combat tasks beautifully and achieving outstanding results in this military offensive against the Japanese army.

Then he commended the Jinsui Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base Area for its brilliant operations to contain the Japanese army in the northwest of Shanxi and Daqingshan.

Then there were operations around Taihang, Taiyue, southern Hebei, Luzhong, Jiaodong and other places, and the operations of various troops were remarkable.

Whether in large-scale confrontations or in local encounters, the commanders of various units have displayed super-strong military qualities and outstanding command art in the war.

For this reason, through the decision of the General Headquarters and the Central Military Commission, the deputy commander-in-chief indicated that a total of six collective command units in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Base Area, the Jinsui Base Area, and the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Shandong-Henan, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo, and Shandong Base Areas will be credited with a collective meritorious service.

The exciting part was soon coming, and it was time for the individual to be recognized.

The Deputy Chief of the General Staff, holding the list of commendations that had been drawn up long ago, stood up and announced:

"After the decision of the headquarters and the approval of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, the following military cadres were awarded special military merit commendations for encouragement.

Among them, the military cadres who have been awarded the third-class meritorious service are...... Among them, there are ...... military cadres who have been awarded second-class merits because of their proper command."

"The military cadres who have won the first-class meritorious service have finally decided on three places after discussion at the headquarters, namely: Comrade Li Yunlong, Comrade Ding Wei, and Comrade Wang Wenshan!"

Because it was a special commendation, coupled with the scarcity of people and full of honors, the deputy chief of the General Staff also made a brief introduction:

"Comrade Ding Wei was in charge of the most elite field group troops in our Taihang area this time, interspersed operations over long distances, successively repelled the main force of the Japanese army's three routes, and ambushed the combat units at or above the level of the three road brigades that severely damaged the devils, and captured rich and made outstanding achievements."

"It has played the prestige of our Eighth Route Army, played our determination to win, and accumulated valuable experience for the long-distance field command of our Eighth Route Army."

"Comrade Wang Wenshan led the field troops of the 769th Regiment this time, fought bravely, took the lead in breaking through the Tianjin Gate, completely disrupted the deployment of the Japanese army, and won a lot of achievements, with outstanding achievements."

"As for Comrade Li Yunlong, he is responsible for the unified command of our Eighth Route Army's mechanized combat units, and assists all infantry to take the lead in breaking through the Japanese positions and defense lines in the battles of all sides, creating a precedent for our Eighth Route Army troops to cooperate with infantry with a large number of mechanized armored units in large-scale operations."

Bang Bang Bang -

Thunderous applause rang out, and Kong Jie took the lead in applauding.

Head Wang smiled with a wrinkled face.

Li Yunlong's smiling eyes were gone, and the old brigade commander who was sitting not far from Li Yunlong helped the frame of his glasses with relief, it was rare that Li Yunlong, this kid, had made a great contribution, and he had not made a mistake, and he had finally changed some stinky problems.

After the applause ended, Lao Li was a little puzzled while he was happy, he leaned aside and asked Ding Wei: "Lao Ding, this situation is not right, according to the first-class merit, there must be a share of Lao Kong, why didn't you hear Lao Kong's name?" ”

Ding Wei is actually thinking about this.

Li Yunlong had already taken the lead in guessing, "Could it be that this kid Lao Kong made something wrong in the middle?" ”

Ding Wei smiled: "Come on, do you think that Lao Kong is like you?" Old Kong is fine! What could he do wrong? When we make mistakes, we don't see him make mistakes, and even if we do, no one wants to catch him.

I think, maybe there are even greater military exploits reserved for Lao Kong! ”

As soon as the words fell.

This time, the deputy commander-in-chief personally spoke, "Through the joint decision of the Central Military Commission and the General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it has been decided to award Comrade Kong Jie, who has performed particularly well in the autumn offensive operation, with a special meritorious service. ”

The deputy chief of general staff on the side added with a smile: "As for the medals awarded to our comrades who have won military merits, I am afraid it will be delayed for a few days, and according to the instructions of the Yan'an side, the medal awarding ceremony will be held in Yan'an." ”

Kong Jie, who seemed to be unremarkable, kept silent all the time, didn't speak much, and seemed to be extraordinarily well-behaved, suddenly became the protagonist of the meeting.

Kong Jie was actually a little surprised by this.

So far, the Eighth Route Army's military merit award system has been roughly divided into five levels, from bottom to top, divided into commendation, third-class merit, second-class merit, first-class merit, and the highest military merit - special merit (heroic model medal with honorary title).

In the years when the flames of war were raging, especially in front-line combat units, whether it was some combat collectives or individual military cadres, it was still relatively common for them to win military merits.

Li Yunlong has come all the way from the Red Army period, and he has made many military achievements, including first-class, second-class, and third-class merits.

Verbal praise is even more.

Third-class merit, second-class merit, including first-class merit, there are many servicemen who have won these honors.

However, the number of such extreme military feats as special merit is extremely small.

Even in the Eighth Route Army, from the beginning of the founding of the army to the present, there are probably not many people who have won personal special merits, from the most basic soldiers to the highest-ranking commanders.

The General Headquarters and the Central Military Commission awarded Kong Jie a rare special meritorious service this time, which is indeed a special honor.

But what is surprising is that as the voice of the deputy commander-in-chief fell, more than 100 cadres attending the meeting looked at Kong Jie's eyes, in addition to envy, more admiration, but there was no unconvinced.

Until the joking words of the Deputy Chief of the General Staff sounded: "Why didn't anyone applaud?" ”

"If any comrades have any opinions on the Central Military Commission's awarding of Comrade Kong Jie's personal special merits, they can stand up and say a few words!"

The generals who suddenly came back to their senses spoke one after another.

Someone said: "The eyes of our headquarters and the Central Military Commission are always bright, if you want to say who the special merit falls on this time, my Lao Zhao is not convinced, but if it falls on Lao Kong's head, I will be the first to stand up and raise my hands in agreement." ”

Then someone chimed in: "That's it, the construction of our Eighth Route Army Aviation Unit, if it weren't for Lao Kong, would you be able to get up?" ”

"Including this autumn offensive, if it weren't for Lao Kong commanding all aviation units, snatching air supremacy from the devil's flying team, and assisting our infantry in the battle, I don't know what this battle would have been!"

Some people admired: "Not to mention anything else, just by virtue of the Izumo number that blew up the sinking devil, it is more than enough for Lao Kong to win a personal special merit." ”

"When I heard about this at the time, it felt like a dream, the devil's flagship Izumo, was just blown up and sunk by our aviation unit!"

That's not all.

When the Deputy Chief of the General Staff expounded on Kong Jie's exploits in short words.

From the construction of troops to the development of base areas.

From the rise of the economy to the cultivation of a variety of high-yielding crops.

From the militia military training manual, to the barefoot doctor's manual, to the mass production of penicillin, the establishment of various factories, the promotion of the production chain, and then to the research of leading aerospace research talents in the field of aerospace.

From the rapid development of the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army, to the completion of armored units, to the building of mechanized combat units, and the establishment of various field units, the steel helmets of the Eighth Route Army have ......

Pile by pile, piece by piece, everywhere there are Kong Jie's busy figures, and everywhere there are Kong Jie's contributions as the founder.

With the narration of the deputy chief of general staff, not to mention the expressions of the other generals, they became more and more admired, and even Kong Jie was in a trance.

I came to this world by myself, and before I knew it, I had done so many things.

Although it is still far from it.

But it's great all in all.

Bang Bang Bang -

The bursting applause rang out one after another, and it didn't stop for a long time.

The generals who participated in the meeting, who doesn't admire Kong Jie?

Knowing what Kong Jie has done over the years, it is naturally a thumbs up.

Even if you don't know, this time in the autumn offensive, with the assistance of the aviation unit commanded by Kong Jie, the material support of the Iron Triangle Force, and the various high-yield crops, food, equipment and materials that have been often reinforced by a detachment over the years, everyone has to think of Kong Jie's goodness.

Kong Jie won the personal special merit, and in the end he deserved it.

Even Li Yunlong said with emotion: "The headquarters has clear rewards and punishments, this is like it!" ”

Ding Weile on the side said: "Lao Li, don't you like to compete for everything?" This only gave you a first-class credit, so you don't feel aggrieved? ”

Li Yunlong said: "I'm wronged, Lao Kong has done so much dedication, and he has made a special merit, such a comparison, our Lao Li suddenly feels that this kind of merit is a lot of awards!" ”

"Hahaha, Lao Li, Lao Li, it's rare that you are a little self-aware."

……

"Say a few words!"

"Lao Kong, say a few words!"

The old comrades-in-arms made a fuss.

Kong Jie couldn't shirk it, so he had to get up and said loudly: "Since the comrades asked me to say two words, then I will say two words casually." ”

"To tell you the truth, I feel deserved for this special merit."

"I feel even more panicked!"

"Why do you say that?"

"In my opinion, this special merit belongs to our comrades who have sacrificed their precious lives and sacrificed heroically for the cause of the revolution!"

"This special merit belongs to the countless revolutionary warriors of our Chinese nation who have succeeded each other and saved the world!"

"There are too many such heroes, famous, nameless, and so many of them we can't count, if you want to give them meritorious commendations, how much meritorious service is not too much, but when they throw their heads and spill their blood, who would have thought about these false names?"

"Comrades, when this merit is pressed on our bodies, we must feel not only this honor, but also this heavy burden on our shoulders!"

"If the Chinese nation wants to rejuvenate, we must create a new China, a strong and prosperous new China, a new China in which future generations will no longer have to suffer from the flames of war, and can be upright and upright.

The heavy words fell.

The generals were deeply silent.

The deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff, the teacher commander, and the old brigade commander, who were silently looking at all this, their eyes stayed on Kong Jie, and while they were shocked by Kong Jie's words, they couldn't help nodding secretly.

Kong Jie has grown too much over the years, not only showing extraordinary talents in all fields, but also being prepared for danger in times of peace and long-term mind, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

This made the deputy chief of general staff, the deputy commander-in-chief, and the teacher head look at each other, and while showing a smile, they nodded to each other tacitly, as if they had completely made some decisions.

Eventually, the military meeting, which lasted more than two hours, came to an end.

A meeting further united the hearts of the generals of these mainstays of the Eighth Route Army.

A meeting gave the generals of the base areas of all parties a deep understanding of the commanders of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area, especially generals like Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Commander Wang.

The responsible persons of the base areas and the commanders of the military regions were even more emotional.

Sure enough, the rise of a team is no accident, there is no vanity under the fame, after seeing it with your own eyes, you can better understand why the Iron Triangle Force, which is dominated by a team in the Taihang base area, can rise as strongly as a dark horse in just a few years......

At the end of the month, the monthly pass has been doubled, ask for tickets brothers!
