Rise from eight hundred.

Compared with the large-scale celebration banquet held by Division 921, the Four Elements Group is much simpler this time.

There was no dinner party for the whole army, but the cooking squads of each company were asked to come to the military supply department to collect supplies.

Each soldier, including grooms and other auxiliary personnel, was given two cans of canned meat, and each family member received one can.

They were mainly recruits from Xuzhou. In the past two days, several chief officers of the regiment headquarters had brought people to give condolences, but the compensation was not yet in place, so it had to wait for Tang Dao to come back to decide.

Because the batch of gold seized by the Four Elements Group this time is very valuable, it is almost certain that Tang Tuanzuo will raise the pension standard again.

How much money does he have to do, and he will neither slap his face to make a fat man, nor hold on to the money. This is Tang Dao's consistent management traits.

In addition, there is an extra meal. The infantry company will receive half a catty of meat and two taels of wine per person. There are important things to do tomorrow. Tang Dao doesn't want a group of drunkards standing there.

About the method of reward, Tang Dao and several chief officers are still discussing at the regiment headquarters, and it has already been revealed by the soldiers who participated in the celebration banquet of the 921st Division.

Five yuan per person is not a high allowance for participating in the war, 30 oceans for serious injury allowances, and 50 oceans for deaths in war are also common. This is basically expected, but everyone is still waiting for one of the most important things --- military exploits assessment.

Before the war, the regiment headquarters used the battalion and company commanders to let the soldiers know the wind. In the future, there will be no egalitarianism in the regiment. If you want to get money and get promoted, you have to rely on military merit.

Just like this battle, the regiment headquarters has already begun to formulate military merit levels, which are divided into four levels: 'first-class military exploits', 'second-class military exploits', 'third-class military exploits', and 'fourth-class military exploits'!
Obviously, there are only four levels of military exploits, and there are many monks and few meat. In this battle, only a few people are destined to receive such honors and various rewards.

However, at the headquarters of the Four Elements Regiment, Tang Dao and several chief officers, including the two battalion commanders, ate a hasty meal and filled their stomachs before holding a military meeting.

The main issue is not the level of military exploits, which is actually decided before the expedition.

It’s not about how to evaluate it. There are also written regulations. Each battalion and company will report their soldiers’ military exploits by themselves, and attach their achievements and the reasons for their approval by the chief officers at the platoon, company, and battalion levels. Finally, it will be handed over to Chief of Staff Zhuang San reviewed and reported to Tang Dao for approval.

The regulations also detail the scale of the battlefield and the number of people who have won battles!

For example, the Four Elements Regiment has more than 2000 members in the Jindong War, which is regarded as a battle-level battlefield for the whole regiment. There are only 10 people for "first-class military exploits". Can be vacant.

There are 30 "second-class military exploits", 50 "third-class military exploits" and 100 "fourth-class military exploits". The number of winners of military exploits is about 10 to 1.

In the past two days, the chief officers of each battalion and company have actually submitted their own military exploit declarations, and the total number of people has slightly exceeded, roughly around 200.

Tang Dao understands and understands the little thoughts of these guys!
As the chief officer, who doesn't want to win more military exploits for his brothers?Such things as military exploits are not just some big rewards, and future promotions depend on this.

The Four Elements Regiment's soldiers management regulations, which have become more and more perfect, clearly stipulate that even if the soldier is judged to be unfit to be a commander, he can still be promoted in rank, up to the same level as the commander of the regiment. …

After all, some people are brave in battle, but because of their character, mind, or body have major defects due to injuries, they are not suitable for command positions, and it is very likely that they will indirectly kill other people.

Some people, being a soldier is excellent, but they can't do things beyond his ability. This is Tang Dao's deep experience. Therefore, the four-element regiment's military management regulations led by him try to avoid such tragedies. .

But not rewarding meritorious service is definitely a blow to morale, and it is also an insult to the term military merit. It is imperative for soldiers from the future to walk on two legs.

That means, even if your ability is not suitable for being a military officer, and you cannot be promoted to lieutenant officer and then to colonel officer like most people, your military salary can be high, as long as you earn enough military exploits, it can be exactly the same as Tang Tuanzuo's military salary .

It seems like a small change, but it has opened up a new promotion channel for everyone in the Four Elements Group!It's no longer the same as before, you can only be promoted to military rank, and you can only be an officer.

There are only so many officer positions in an infantry regiment. Who will serve as an officer if they all go to be officers?Moreover, the promotion of military rank once or twice can boost morale, but this battle is fought all the time, but the military rank cannot be continuously promoted. When all soldiers are promoted to non-commissioned officers or lieutenants, the management level will be chaotic.

This person's mentality is like this. I used to be a private first class, and the squad leader was a sergeant. Of course I listened to you, but one day I became a sergeant, and the squad leader was also a sergeant. Why should I be a sergeant? Listen to you guy with my rank?

However, Tang Dao has slightly changed the promotion method of future non-commissioned officers and brought it to this era. No matter you are talented or mediocre, even if you are mediocre, as long as you are brave enough, you can get treatment.

If you are awarded the 'First Class Military Merit' once, the military salary level will be upgraded to three consecutive levels on the existing basis. Those with third-class military exploits will be promoted to one level of military pay, while those with "fourth-class military exploits" will only be rewarded and will not be promoted.

Of course, if you are promoted to the military rank, then the military salary will follow the military rank, and the military salary will not be additionally promoted. Apart from the designation by the superior, you can also choose the two paths.

But no matter which one, this management system is good for the officers and soldiers.

'I want the horse to run, but I also want the horse not to eat grass! 'That is not only against horse nature, but also against human nature.

It was the first time for the commanders of the three infantry battalions headed by Lei Xiong and the company commanders directly under the head of Pang Hai to report their military exploits by themselves.

They also couldn't figure out Tang Dao's thoughts on this, so although they all wanted to eat more and take more money to benefit their brothers who worked hard, they all restrained themselves and screened meritorious personnel based on a roughly 10:1 ratio.

Even for the eye-catching No. 10 meritorious service with only 26 people, the whole regiment only reported [-] people. The general introduction of the chief of staff, Zhuang Shisan, is all well-founded. There were six people who died in battle on the spot.

Tang Dao knew that when these people figured out their thinking in the future, they probably wouldn't be able to write a single piece of paper on the registration form for the first-class fighters. …

But at least this time, almost no one dared to make false reports. For example, the baggage company had no idea of ​​"first-class military exploits" or "second-class military exploits" at all, and at most reported "third-class military exploits".

It was a heavy soldier who did not rest all day and night in order to carry supplies. He vomited blood and fainted. It happened that a military doctor was nearby to give him emergency treatment. Otherwise, this recruit who had been performing mediocrely in training and on the battlefield would have Will die on the spot due to physical exhaustion.

Although he didn't go to the battlefield, his performance was comparable to that of being on the front line. With one person's strength, he transported 60 catties of grain bags back and forth six times, and walked a total of 120 miles of mountain roads back and forth.

Walking 24 miles of mountain roads with this weight for 120 hours, it can be seen that this recruit is completely overdrawing and burning his own life. Although he did not go to the front line, what is the difference between this and killing the enemy?

For this reason, Zhuang Shisan also specially sent the captain and staff officer of his own staff department to the supply company to verify, and met with the supply soldier who was still recuperating in the medical brigade.

This is indeed somewhat unreasonable.

The front-line officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment were brave on the front line, and they would die if they didn't try their best. Moreover, they had fought all the way during this period, and their self-confidence had already been revealed.

But the heavy soldiers, especially the recruits, had never been beaten in the rain of bullets, so how could they be so desperate?Even for those recruits who performed extremely well, when they participated in the Battle of Licheng, the loud noise that the city wall was blasted by hundreds of kilograms of explosives scared many people's pants to wet.

Later, it was the veterans who patted their shoulders to encourage them and even kicked their butts to motivate them, and then drove them up from the trenches and charged together.

"It's not Taoist Master Mingxin, no, it's not brother Mingxin who gave porridge in Xuzhou city that day. My daughter probably wouldn't be able to survive that day. Now I have joined our regiment with brother Mingxin, and the regiment has settled down for my daughter. There is no way to repay such a great kindness, so I can only give this humble life to our regiment!" The man who was over thirty was still a little emotional when he mentioned this.

This is the middle-aged man who was desperately holding his daughter who was about to starve to death that day. In the end, because he joined the army with Ming Xin, the commander of the supply company who was in charge of recruiting recruits gave Ming Xin a face, and specially designated a family member of the recruit to help. take care of.

There are six people in that family, two 50-year-old couples, one of the two sons is married with a daughter-in-law, and the other has a daughter. The married eldest son joined the four-line group, and the remaining five people take care of a young girl. , it shouldn't be too easy, if you have money in your hand.

However, the middle-aged man is still a little worried about his daughter, and his daily training is often distracted. In addition, his physical foundation is a little weak, so the ratings of the veterans who lead the team are not high, just a middle-to-lower level.

And when I met up with the family members on the edge of Jin Province this time, the little girl who was originally sallow and thin like bean sprouts had enough food, her little face became a little fatter, and her face became red. Seeing her father waving her little hands desperately It almost brought the middle-aged man who felt that he had fallen into hell back to the world.

The remaining five members of that family really raised the little girl as their own child. The 16-year-old youngest son carried the little girl on his back almost every day for a thousand miles. Whenever he bought any delicious food on the road, he would hold on to the little girl first. eat.

The greatest source of all this happiness is naturally the Four Elements Group. …

Perhaps from that moment on, this man made up his mind to pay back with his life.

After listening to this person's narration, Zhuang Shisan made a decision on the spot: "A heavy soldier is also a soldier, and transporting supplies is also a battle. One person's transportation capacity is lower than two people. How can such a person be only a third-class military exploit? He must be a second-class military exploit!" "

During the meal, Zhuang Shisan reported the matter to Tang Dao, and Tang Dao couldn't help but look at Zhuang Shisan with admiration.

Starting from the independent battalion, Zhuang Shisan was used. This guy fought well in the defensive battle outside Songjiang City. In addition, there were a large number of soldiers from the Songjiang Security Regiment joining. Someone had to be their banner. Shi San, that is, Zhuang Shisan has already demonstrated a strong logistical support capability. When Tang Dao is almost talking, he is very suitable to be the chief of staff.

But this time, giving an ordinary recruit of the logistics company a "second-class military exploit" for transporting supplies is not just enough courage to withstand the pressure of those front-line combat troops, but also a bigger vision than the previous battalion commander of the security regiment did not know. Where did it go.

This is a typical "thousands of gold to buy horse bones". It is to use facts to tell those auxiliary arms such as engineering soldiers, logistics soldiers, communications soldiers, and medical soldiers. Who said that only by working hard can you gain military exploits?As long as you make excellent achievements in your own positions, you will also have military exploits, and the regiment leaders will never be stingy.

This move was simply brilliant, no wonder none of the three main battalion commanders jumped out and said strange things after hearing this.

"Not only the supply company, but also the special service company's sub-units, if there are particularly outstanding performers, they can also follow this example!" Tang Dao nodded in agreement, and gave his own suggestions.

Looking up at the other silent chief officers, Tang Dao said again: "But this time, don't take up the quota of the combat troops. It is not necessary to add a few more people with second-class or third-class combat achievements. Anyway, this time Our four-element group has a solid family background!"

Saying this, the faces of the two deputy regimental commanders and the two infantry battalion commanders burst into smiles.

It can only be said that Tang Tuanzuo is too understanding of people's minds. They were still worrying about applying for too many places. There will be no worries in this regard if there are a few more places.

In fact, even if the extra No. 30 people are included, the Four Elements Regiment will not spend much more military pay, but everything must be done properly.

It’s okay to add a few more rules to the previously established rules, and if there are more than a few dozen, will we have to do this in the future?
Tang Dao emphasized again during the meal that if there are too many comments on military exploits, it will be rotten and worthless. After all, heroes are a minority.

It will take a few days for the assessment, and Tang Dao has to take a good look at the performance of his soldiers on the battlefield, so he is not in a hurry, but there is one thing that is imminent.

First of all, in addition to the promotion of military rank or military salary for these military exploits, the other is how to reward them.

In the past, it was to reward Dayang. That was when the four-element group lived in no fixed place, and it was the simplest and most straightforward to reward Dayang.

But now, the Four Elements Regiment has some foundations, and the improvement of morale has been limited just by spending money.

Only when the rewards are determined and the military merits are evaluated in a few days can they be released. Don’t be unprepared at that time, let the officers and soldiers be disappointed, and it will not achieve the effect of evaluating military exploits. …

"Come on, you all talk about what rewards are suitable!" Tang Dao looked at his friends, reached out to take the cigarette thrown by Lei Xiong, and said.

"I personally think that it is better to reward weapons, such as first-class military exploits, reward submachine guns, second-class military exploits, reward pistols, fourth-class military exploits, reward a saber! As an honor, these weapons can be engraved with The soldier's name." Leng Feng said first.

The reward method proposed by Leng Feng is a bit novel, and the exclusive weapon can reflect the value of the winner of the battle.

"Not right, not right, first of all, most of these military exploits are front-line officers and soldiers, and some of them are squad leaders. They have submachine guns or shell guns, and you reward him with one more. Why, when they go to the battlefield, they hang two submachine guns to charge. !

What's more, pistols, sir, you can say that a large number of southern [-]-style pistols seized this time will be distributed to artillery, medical teams, signal corps, engineers and other arms, which cannot reflect the sense of honor of the military winners! "Gong Shaoxun shook his head and objected.

"It's not okay to give out money, and it's not good to give out weapons. You can't give these guys wives!" Lei Xiong frowned and took a deep breath on his cigarette. "I think in that case, none of them would say they are not happy."

"Haha, there are still dissatisfaction with that, such as those with wives." Master Zhuang said with a smile.

Everyone laughed!

As soon as the atmosphere became active, all these whimsical ideas came out one after another.

Guo Shouzhi said that there is a lot of gold now, so it is better to give each person a small yellow croaker. According to the level of military achievements, those with high military achievements are heavier, and those with low military achievements are lighter.

Although Gong Shaoxun opposed Leng Feng, he improved Leng Feng's suggestion at the moment, saying that military daggers were issued, but the handles were divided into four grades of gold, silver, copper and iron, which is quite a style of the ancient cold weapon era.

"I think so! It's better to issue medals like the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, just because I'm afraid it might be inappropriate!" Zhuang Shisan, who had been silent all this time, finally made a suggestion.

"Just give out medals. This is the internal motivation of my four-element regiment. If you don't ask for it from the Military and Political Department, which is thousands of miles away from us, what's wrong with it!" Tang Dao's eyes lit up, and he decided.

After thinking about it carefully, he said again: "Let Uncle Tantai help with the design, ask Mr. He to order the mold, what equipment is there now, it can be processed in batches! In terms of materials, like this, first-class military exploits are matched with one or two gold For other metals, for second-class military exploits, half taels of gold and half taels of silver are mixed with other metals; for third-class military exploits, one tael of silver is mixed with other metals; for fourth-class military exploits, it is made of pure copper.”

"The group seat and the chief of staff have a good suggestion. Medals have a sense of honor, and metals such as gold, silver, and copper are also of sufficient value. The one or two golds alone cost 200 yuan, let alone the design of everyone in Tantai. Yes, it is definitely a work of art, if it can be brought home alive, it can be a family heirloom." Gong Shaoxun first agreed with applause.

"Don't say it, just focus on this stuff, I kind of want to go back to be a company commander!" Leng Feng also nodded.

"Haha, let's go together, let Li Jiujin and Zhao Daqiang be the battalion commanders." Lei Xiong was overjoyed.

Everyone was amused by the truth of this usually cold-faced battalion commander.

The four-element regiment's military management regulations can be said, and those who are above the school officer of the four-element regiment are not eligible to participate in the military merit assessment.

No matter how well you command and how beautifully you fight, that is what you should do as a commander.

Giving as much combat merit as possible to the frontline soldiers and grassroots officers below is the first consensus reached by Tang Dao and his friends at the military meeting.

However, the joke between Lei Xiong and Leng Feng just now was somewhat sincere. Although the medal Tang Tuanzuo mentioned, although he has not seen the real thing, it is very tempting just to hear it!
It seems that it is no worse than the Baoding Medal made by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs.

Those officers and soldiers who are about to win military exploits will definitely like it very much, and those who don't get it will definitely salivate with envy!
The purpose of evaluating military exploits has been achieved.
