Chapter 438 Commendation Conference
The fertile plain out of the old course of the Yellow River is a blockade ditch running from north to south, from east to west, with a blockhouse for two miles.

Fifty miles northeast of Huaxian County, within the headquarters of the First Army of the North China Security Army, Huangdongzhuang.

Along the ancient river channel, the saline-alkali land is covered with grasses, as tall as half a person, and the livestock do not eat them.

In the grass outside the blockade ditch, quietly hiding a few people dressed as ordinary people.

Through the cracks in the grass, I kept my eyes on the north, because there was a large village like a small town over there, and groups of troops from nearby places were rushing to gather here.

A figure took advantage of the opportunity to release the water to leave the team and walked into the grass.

The person hiding in the grass, after careful confirmation, quietly watched the target slowly approaching, and finally squatted in the grass.

After a while, the visitor got up and returned to the team. Everything was fine.

After the man left, a figure who had been hiding before crawled from the grass towards the place where the man stayed just now.

The day the military division entered Hua County.

The sun had just set.

In the open-air theater in the south of the city, commanders and fighters from all departments of the Eighth Route Army gathered together, decorated with lights and festoons, and the division will soon hold a summary, commendation and mobilization meeting
On the rostrum, the commander is speaking.

"In April of this year, more than 30 people from the Fifth Division of Devil No. [-] and the First Independent Mixed Brigade secretly entered the Zaolin area in the sandy land between Neihuang, PY, and Huaxian, together with the North China Puppet Second Army Li Ying and other departments set up an ambush just like this time, and our divisions formed a second column, breaking through with difficulty and suffering great losses.

After the devils and puppet troops entered the base area in the sandy area, they burned, killed and looted everywhere, burned more than 3000 villages such as Yan, Nanzhangbao, and Xuecun into ruins, and collectively shot and killed more than 870 people. One thousand [-] two people.

Six of the seven wells in Yangu Village were filled with corpses, and the jujube trees that the people in the sandy area depended on for their livelihoods were all cut down.

The small detachments that stayed inside fought against the Japanese and puppet troops in guerrilla attacks in Pochekou, Xuecun and other places. The district team and militiamen fought bravely against the enemy to cover the transfer of the masses.

But this time, we not only completed the tasks entrusted to us by our superiors, destroyed the Devils Railway, but also regained Huaxian County. In frontal combat, do not fall behind"

Every time the commander paused, there was the slogan of "Down with Japanese imperialism", followed by a burst of warm applause, and the crowd was excited.

The commander took a sip of water and continued to summarize: "In this battle, all the ministries have performed very bravely, especially the secret service regiment, cavalry regiment, supplementary regiment that participated in the attack, as well as the independent regiment of the friendly army, and the 44th district responsible for blocking the attack. The team, the [-]th area team, and all ministries have suffered a lot of casualties.

However, the final victory belongs to us.

Now, please invite the commanders and fighters of each department to come on stage."

Regiment-level cadres, in principle, do not show up in public, and the platoon leaders of each class are the ones who come to the stage to receive awards.

When it was time to commend the Ninth Company of the Independent Regiment, a masked braid appeared in front of the steps beside the rostrum.

"Hey, girl, what are you doing here with your face covered? You are a combat hero who is commended above, why are you here to join in the fun?" The guard looked vigilantly at the strange little girl who was looking around.

"Hey, if I don't go up, this commendation meeting won't go on!" A girl with braids in her military cap on top of her head smiled triumphantly.

"Hey, you little toad yawned so loudly!" The guard soldier was amused and reached out to stop her.

Whose girl is this, she's so cute
Xiao Hongying stared wide-eyed: "You really won't let me go up?"

"You little girl, get up quickly and stay where you are cool."

"Don't beg me for a while!"

"Hey, I beg you? I beg you to leave quickly and don't even look at the occasion!"

"Ninth Company of the Independent Regiment!" The host looked around the audience and called the roll again: "Please come up quickly."

Booing has already started at the bottom of the venue. I have long heard that the Ninth Company of the Independence Regiment is not ordinary in fighting. It even has "tank" cannons, and the Lord who can fool the devil's plane, stretched his neck to see who the master is, but it took a long time. does not appear.

This shelf is really not small!However, no one felt dissatisfied. The Ninth Company armored vehicles cleared the way, and the guns of all sizes fired at the same time. Thinking about the scene, the blood boiled.

After a long while, the protagonist still did not appear.

Finally, the host pressed down with both hands, and called the name again: "Ninth Company of the Independent Regiment!"

The sound below the stage became much quieter, and the quarrel beside the rostrum finally spread.

The soldiers of the second company who came up to the stage first stared at the steps next to the stage, and were stunned.

"Hey, you little guy with a dog's eyes, don't let your aunt go up, you can cry later!" A clear and childish voice in the period of changing voice came, and the scene was immediately silent.

Finally, the commander sitting above also heard the noise, and couldn't help turning his head to look at it, and was taken aback for a moment: Isn't this the girl from the Independence Regiment?It is not uncommon to go to a meeting in the teacher's office.

Do you think I don't know you because you cover your face?
Seeing that she was playing tricks with the guards, it seemed that she was about to come to the rostrum, so she immediately raised her hand to beckon.

The guard was helpless. He was a little dumbfounded when he saw the commander's hand gesture. Does this girl know the commander?
The point is, the commander can recognize this girl with her face covered. How familiar does she have to be with the commander?

"Since when did you become the commander?" The first question the squirming girl stepped onto the stage surprised people.

In her memory, the last time she saw the commander, he seemed to be a regimental commander of the Eighth Route Army.

"What are you doing up here?" The commander ignored it, but smiled slightly. He didn't expect that the independent regiment would send this dreadful thing up to receive the award.

"Don't you want to commend Jiulian? I'll come up to accept the award?" The little girl said sincerely with her eyes wide open.

"Then what are you doing with your face covered?" The Commander asked kindly.

"Uh, I'm also working in the Armed Task Force, so I shouldn't show my face." The girl replied solemnly.

It caused a roar of laughter from below.

"Since it's not appropriate to show your face in public? Then what are you doing here?" The commander had black lines on his face.

"Don't you still have to talk after receiving the award? People in the mountains don't know how to talk. Anyway, I'm small and it doesn't matter if I am ashamed, so Lianli let me come." The girl looked very lonely when she said this.

The soldiers of the second company who came to the stage first, looked at this wicked girl with contempt on their faces: you are shameless, in order to go on stage, I don’t know how many benefits were promised to the soldiers of the ninth company who couldn’t support the wall. Be clear and clear!
The little girl walked directly in front of the host: "I'm on stage to accept the commendation on behalf of Jiulian!"

"Uh, what do you want to say?" The host handed a medal to the girl and looked at the lovely girl with a smile.

The girl took it and glanced at it. It should be a bronze medal made of bullet casings. Although it is not as exquisite as the one made by the teacher, it feels good to the touch!

"Thank you for the wise leadership of the higher-level organization, and thank the soldiers for fighting the enemy bravely and not afraid of sacrifice. Our Ninth Company will definitely continue to work hard and win the next victory. The people I want to thank are: Ma Liang, the leader of the first platoon, Sanchi Tian, ​​​​the leader of the second platoon, Chen Chong, leader of the third platoon, Luo Fugui, leader of the fourth platoon, Li Xiang, leader of the fifth platoon, Tang Dagou, leader of the sixth platoon.

After reading the names of more than 100 people in a row, the host stared at this incredible scene with wide eyes.

The point is, I just finished reading Ma Liang's row!
The commander was not displeased at all, as if lost in thought.
No one interrupts the girl to read her name
The sitting staff officer was surprised, it seemed like he hadn't seen her for two years, this little girl knew so many words?
The political commissar of the head of the regiment sitting below had a black line on his face, thinking, this is a meeting, okay? You, a girl, came on stage to read the list of your Ninth Company?
This is called disturbing the order of the venue, okay?
Head Lu followed the political commissar with a glance, and the political commissar looked up, but looked back at the head helplessly, implying that it had nothing to do with me.

Head Lu said bitterly: "I am not among the people this girl is thanking!"

"Are you jealous? She hasn't thanked me yet!"

"No, Ma Liang's platoon sounds like 200 people? What is the Nine Company doing?"

"Six platoons, don't they have 700 people?" The political commissar was also dumbfounded.

"My God, I haven't seen you for two months. You, the political commissar, seem to have gone to the Ninth Company, right? Why, you haven't figured out what's going on under your nose." The head of the group muttered in a low voice.

"Hu Yi took the work team to the enemy-occupied area. We received an order from our superiors to send reinforcements. We heard from Hu Yi that the security regiment that had been working in the supplementary regiment in the north was recruited. I haven't had time to ask about the situation in detail. Who Do you know what happened?" The political commissar frowned.

Half an hour later, the girl finally finished reading the list. Regardless of whether she participated in the battle or not, none of the company was dropped, and finally the militia was added.
Everyone sitting here has a black line, the protagonist of the commendation conference, the ninth company, overwhelmed all the participating troops in the division.
Next, commend the siege troops. Of course, the first achievement is to win a certain unit in the county in advance.
When a certain small body appeared again, the jaws of the audience below immediately dropped.
　Before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, a regiment had the largest number of nearly ten thousand people!
