Chapter 184 Is this also competition?
Under the urging of Old Man Yan, the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army finally reacted and nodded helplessly.
no way,
Since they had not won the battle, they naturally had no confidence to speak, so they had to obey and immediately sent the commendation telegram to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
...
"Report!"
Just when the atmosphere in the general headquarters was harmonious, the communications soldier translated the commendation telegram from the Second War Zone and presented it immediately.
"A telegram from the Second War Zone has arrived!" The signalman emphasized as he handed it over.
"Old man Yan?"
The deputy commander-in-chief smiled, took the telegram, glanced at it, and then exclaimed.
"What's the matter? Is old man Yan being stingy again?" The Deputy Chief of General Staff next to him joked when he heard this.
After all, in their impression,
Old man Yan from the Second War Zone was famous for being stingy, so they wouldn't find it strange even if he was really stingy.
After hearing this,
The deputy commander shook his head.
"Old Man Yan was very generous this time and awarded a lot of good things. It seems that the Second War Zone really spent a lot of money this time!" The deputy commander-in-chief said with a smile, and handed the commendation telegram in his hand to the deputy chief of general staff.
out of curiosity,
The Deputy Chief of General Staff also took a look.
But when he took a look, he was immediately shocked by the rewards listed in the telegram.
"Oh no! This is not like Old Man Yan's style!"
There was a hint of mockery in the Deputy Chief of General Staff's eyes. Although he was surprised, he thought again and thought that it should be so.
"What happened to the Second War Zone?" A military leader asked immediately after hearing the words of the Deputy Chief of the General Staff.
The deputy chief of staff smiled and nodded, hiding the surprise in his eyes, and said:
"This time, the Second War Zone was very generous. Not only did they equip the Guards Regiment with a 75mm Type 92 artillery battery, they also provided them with 1,000 Type 824 rifles, more than 100 light and heavy machine guns, and more than 20,000 grenades. They were quite generous!"
The Deputy Chief of General Staff said,
The whole audience was shocked.
Especially the leaders working in the general command, it was not the first time they dealt with Old Man Yan from the Second War Zone, and they had never seen this old guy so generous.
"Not only that, Old Man Yan also gave Qin Hai that kid an honorary title, and gave collective honor to the entire guard regiment." Speaking of this, even the Deputy Chief of General Staff felt a little ridiculous.
This old man Yan,
Although it sounds nice,
But everyone could hear the sarcasm in the deputy chief of general staff's words, and the entire headquarters burst into laughter.
"I don't know what Old Man Yan is thinking. It's all fake."
Deputy Director Liu spoke, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
The so-called Medal of Honor,
In their opinion, it is worthless. This thing cannot be eaten and is not as practical as actual equipment rewards.
Apart from sounding nice, it's actually useless.
After hearing Deputy Director Liu's ridicule, all the leaders nodded in agreement.
However, the commendation for the Second War Zone is indeed sincere enough.
"At least it's much better than last time. If the Second War Zone just uses a few hundred guns to deal with us this time, I'd be ashamed for them!" At this point, the Deputy Chief of General Staff's words were full of complaints.
before,
Old Man Yan actually did this, and because of this he earned the reputation of being a stingy old man.
"We've rewarded an artillery company, which is really great!"
"The Second Theater Command is so powerful this time. I am actually looking forward to it." The deputy commander-in-chief said with a hint of sarcasm.
Anyway, it's no big deal to watch the fun.
obviously,
The Second War Zone successfully stabbed someone in the back this time. When the news reaches the government, they want to see the old guy's face.
...
as predicted,
The commendation telegram from the Second War Zone soon reached the government.
“Damn it!”
Looking at the contents of the telegram, the old man cursed out loud. He didn't expect the Second War Zone to act so quickly.
Because of the actions of the Second War Zone,
Caught them off guard.
They had originally planned to drag it out this time to reduce the pressure of rewards in terms of commendations, but they did not expect the Second Theater to take action so quickly and directly defeat them.
Not only that,
They also gave out such generous rewards and even created an honorary title. Isn't this just what they left over?
this time,
If they don't show enough sincerity, the government will lose face. What will the people think? What will those people in the Second War Zone think?
To commend those heroes who won the battle against the Japanese invaders.
If they continue to be hesitant and are even worse than the Second War Zone, the government's current situation may become even worse.
Until then,
If the common people spit at them, they would probably be drowned.
Seeing the old man get angry,
The leaders present with the ranks of lieutenant general and general did not dare to say a word. They all lowered their heads in shame and anger.
What else can I do?
While our own people could not win battles on the front line, the Eighth Route Army was receiving frequent victories, especially this guard regiment. It had only been two months and they had caused such a big fuss again, even wiping out the Japanese battlefield tour group.
This credit,
It was even louder than the last battle at Yaozigou.
By the time,
If the Eighth Route Army takes this opportunity to do some propaganda, it will not only completely clear up the dirty water that was previously thrown at them, but will also cause more headaches for the government.
How would the people view our government if we were so stingy towards the heroes who fought against the Japanese?
I'm afraid even the saliva can drown us.
The old man cursed for a few minutes, finally venting his frustration, and slapped the telegram on the table.
"As for the reward, according to the result of our previous discussion, add another one third!"
"At the same time, the commander of the Guards Regiment is awarded the rank of Major General, and all officers and soldiers of the Guards Regiment are awarded the Medal of Honor. Qin Hai is awarded a Medal for Fighting the Japanese, and all members of the Guards Regiment are awarded the Medal of Warrior!"
At this point, the old man's face became even gloomier, and he did not forget to add,
"This time, we'll make an exception and add a battalion to the Guards Regiment, upgrading them to a reinforced regiment. In addition to the original 15 60mm mortars, we'll add 5 more!"
"100 light and heavy machine guns, 50 grenade launchers, 1000 Type 50 rifles from the southwest, plus French francs!"
The old man added one third to the original reward in one breath.
The words fell,
The old man looked at everyone with deep sorrow and felt extremely aggrieved.
And everyone present,
I was already dumbfounded.
"This... isn't it too much? Isn't it a bit too hasty to promote this guy to major general?" An admiral officer spoke bravely.
As the chief's confidant,
He really felt that the reward was not appropriate. It was raised by one third from the result of the initial discussion. It was really too generous.
After hearing this,
The old man's face was uncertain: "What do you think? Should we promote them to a guard brigade?"
The old man's question left the admiral speechless.
Who made them lose face on the front line?
The Eighth Route Army made great achievements one after another, but they were defeated one after another and had no choice but to defend their position, which made them feel very frustrated.
After the rewards were redetermined,
The old man's expression eased a lot. He actually had his considerations for giving out so many rewards and personal medals of honor this time.
