The two battalion commanders were reprimanded for a while and talked about how they would work in the future, and then they were let go.

It's just that after the two of them left the regiment commander's office, the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking, and they both exuded a strong atmosphere of "wanting to settle accounts after the autumn".

Even if his soldiers were about to get military medals, they couldn't calm this anger.

Which soldier is okay to use two kicks to break the cooking class glass? Aren't you afraid that your hands will tremble when the cooking class beats them with meat? How big a person, it's not a shame!!

Xia Li and Li Qingnan slipped away quickly, and they didn't fall into the hands of the two Yama lords who had been trained all afternoon.

After a quick dinner, I ran to the conference hall.

Today's commendation meeting was attended by all members, and when Xia Li arrived, everyone was basically there.

In the huge conference hall, there were tens of thousands of soldiers wearing military uniforms and straightening their waists, even if there were no radical moves, they were magnificent as far as the eye could see.

Li Qingnan and his company commander were sitting in the first row, and when they saw the two coming, they got up and waved to them.

"Here! We're in the first row! ”

Under the envious gaze of the crowd, the two strode to the first row of seats with their heads held high.

Everyone had already received the news that those of them who survived had made a collective second-class meritorious service.

Military merit is already rare, not to mention the second-class merit that is not an outstanding contribution and the highest merit other than sacrifice.

This military merit, even if it is not used for promotion, if you want to not change jobs in the future, it is easier than others to stay in the army.

Xia Li has a lot of military merits in his hands, but this is the first time he has officially received merit in front of the entire division, and he still feels a little fresh in his heart.

Quickly walked to her place and sat down, and while talking to the others in a whisper, the hostess came up to the stage and began to speak.

"First of all, on behalf of all military representatives, I would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to all leaders and guests.

Today, we are here to hold a show of merit, and the other day we ......"

Ever since someone spoke on the podium, the whispering below had stopped.

Xia Li listened to the host above talk about how dangerous it was on the day of the war with Mao Ziguo, and how powerful they were who got merit.

By the time she had finished all those words of praise, nearly twenty minutes had passed.

To be honest, this kind of meeting scene is quite boring, anyway, Xia Li can't sit still.

Seeing that everything that should be said was finished, Xia Li thought that the other party would immediately award them military medals, and then let their superiors encourage them to break up the meeting.

The host on the stage said with a solemn face: "The families of the seven soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the protection of the Huaxia territory are invited to come to the stage to receive the first-class merit medal of the group." ”

Xia Li: ......?

The Great Hall fell silent, and the audience was silent, not even the sound of breathing could be heard, except for the low sobbing sounds.

Several family members were helped onto the stage, including an old lady in her eighties with white hair, a pregnant woman holding a girl who was not yet tall, and a half-grown child covered in patches......

These people all had red eyes, and they had obviously cried before, and they looked haggard, as if they hadn't slept well for a few days.

The scene became a little depressing for a moment.

Xia Li had never participated in a real commendation conference before, and this was the first time he knew that he had also participated in a task, some people received second-class merits, and some people "could" receive first-class merits.

It's just that for this kind of merit, the person who received the medal can't come by himself, and his family must receive it.

The host on the stage spoke in a heavy tone about their achievements during their lifetimes and thanked them on behalf of the organization.

The relatives who received the merits for the seven sacrificed soldiers on the stage, hearing the great achievements of their son/husband/father, and thinking that they would be separated forever in the future, and they would never see each other again, came to their hearts with sadness for a while, and immediately cried heartbreakingly.

The gray-haired old lady held the military medal she had just received, raised her head and cried, "My grandson! Your dad left on the battlefield fourteen years ago, how can you bear to leave us two old guys behind? ”

The old lady couldn't stand the death of her only offspring, and cried so much that she fainted on the spot.

In a panic, an old man in military uniform quickly ran to the stage from the stage, helped the old lady up, her eyes were red, and her voice was choked: "Chaobei and his father both died fighting for the country, they are great heroes, very glorious, not ashamed!"

Don't bother the organization, let's go home. ”

As he spoke, he picked up his wife and staggered to the stage with the support of several soldiers.

Many people in the room had red eyes.

Even if no one knows the past of these two old men, they can guess from their words that three generations were in the army, two generations were killed, and the white-haired people sent the black-haired people.

This sad atmosphere spread throughout the conference hall, Xia Li's heart was sour, and his eyes were a little red.

That's the person who once fought alongside her, how can she not be touched?

She stood up, faced the two old men, and gave them a sincere military salute.

With her taking the lead, everyone else in the venue also got up one after another, and all of them solemnly saluted the second elder.

No one went to Cha Liang, that was the brothers who defended the country with them and went to the battlefield together.

Their dedication deserves recognition, and their widows deserve to be respected!
