StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 24 Promotion
Venice, Pride of Polk, June 2488, 6.

The 33th Battalion of the 4th Brigade of the 5rd Ground Assault Division of the Tyrone Federation is stationed.

It had been a few days since Augustus first visited the ruined city, and despite some setbacks, he and his comrades were still alive.Lieutenant Warfield was sent to Polk's Pride Military Hospital, and no new news has been received so far.

The commander of the imperial reconnaissance company that came to the rescue was very surprised. As a recruit who had never had combat experience, Augustus was able to lead a platoon of recruits who had also never been on the battlefield to defeat a Caymer army. Ryan Shock Cavalry Squad.

In the opinion of the commander, it was God's blessing that the new recruits did not collapse on the spot when they encountered the enemy without anyone commanding them, and disbanded on the spot.

The commander of the reconnaissance company gave Augustus a high evaluation of his ability to respond on the spot, and he said that he would report it truthfully, and the Marine Corps High Command would be happy to award him a medal of honor.

The recruit platoon where Augustus was originally was supposed to be reorganized by the Ministry of Military Affairs and assigned to each company of the [-]th Battalion, but in the end it was changed to retain the formation and be assigned to the [-]st Company of Warfield, which suffered the most downsizing. In the third row, the organization is still the first combat squad.

His platoon leader was a young second lieutenant named Regan Streicher. He was a thin-faced, neat black-haired man who was also Warfield's old subordinate.

Years of wars have led to a serious shortage of grassroots non-commissioned officers who have received military officer education and professional training. Therefore, Augustus, who was a recruit sergeant, is still the squad leader of the first squad.A week later, Warfield will transfer officers or directly promote a group of non-commissioned officers from among the privates to serve as the squad leaders of these recruit squads.

In the next few days, Augustus was busy writing a report on the case of commanding the recruit platoon to defeat the assault rangers. This report will eventually be submitted to a second sergeant major of the 5th Battalion to fill his position. The résumés of recruits are empty.

His company stayed at the station to rest during this period and did not perform military missions.This period of time was very peaceful for the soldiers. Except for the fleet of Avengers and bombers that occasionally flew over the station and sailed into the distance, there was not even a gunshot near the station.

During this period, Augustus and his comrades received the training of the third platoon leader, Lieutenant Reagan, aimed at running-in and improving combat capabilities. During the training, Lieutenant Reagan also told the recruits about the 33rd Ground Assault Division history and glorious achievements.

When Reagan praised their division commander, Arcturus Mengsk, with great reverence, as a just, selfless and fearless commander and a great strategic man, no matter what position Augustus looked at it from , he felt very embarrassed.

In general, Reagan is actually a very easy person to get along with. He is an excellent Marine Corps officer. Soldiers mingled together.

Augustus got on well with Reagan, and they quickly became good friends, the only problem was that the second lieutenant seemed quite concerned about his Mengsk surname.

However, Augustus's comfortable life in the barracks took a turn on June 6, when Lieutenant Warfield was released from the hospital and returned to the chain of command.

Warfield called Augustus to his company office that afternoon and handed him a dark green military badge with three inverted "V"s arranged vertically.

"Congratulations, you are now a sergeant. Sergeant Mengsk, here is your new ID card." Warfield also handed Augustus a bronze medal and a golden ear of wheat at the same time Ribbon, on the medal is a beautifully carved profile of an eagle's head with sharp eyes, on which is written the Medal of Honor in small English letters.

In the promotion system of the federal army, this kind of honorary medal is usually awarded to officers who are brave in combat and are about to be promoted. In some cases, this medal can also offset the meritorious service or examination points required for a promotion.

And Augustus noticed that the large wound on Warfield's head had scabbed over, but even so, he was still full of energy and his eyes were like torches.There were not many documents on the lieutenant's desk, but it was full of disassembled pistols and rifle parts.

Standing behind Warfield was a young soldier with a slender rifle on his back. He had dazzling blond hair, a narrow chin, and thin lips.In addition, the sniper badge on his chest and those eagle-like blue eyes are impressive.

"Lieutenant, I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound." Augustus said a few polite words when he received the military rank badge and medal.

"Hehe, thanks to you." Warfield showed a gratified smile, and he praised without hesitation: "Without your command, how could those recruits become such vicious wolves. You saved me, Saved the entire recruit platoon. It was a miracle, and the staff applauds your heroism!"

"For a newly graduated recruit, it is very rare to be able to organize a platoon of recruits without the command of a commander without causing them to collapse and flee or surrender collectively. Augustus Mengsk already has The most important quality of being a sergeant and even an officer commander."

"In the process of leading the second platoon of new recruits to finally defeat the Kelmorian assault cavalry squad, every order of his was by no means superfluous. Augustus Mengsk's genius military talent and strategic foresight are in this battle This is the first clue.”

Augustus could hear that this should be the report and his own comments given to him by a certain Marine Corps staff officer, and Warfield just directly recounted it.

"You deserve it." Warfield looked at Augustus and said, "As for the batch of Ardion crystals you seized, our supply sergeant is still evaluating the value, and the bonus will be credited to all recruits platooning next month In the salary of the 33rd Ground Assault Division, unlike other units, there will never be a situation where officers are pocketed."

"Thank you for everything you have done for me." Just as Augustus's expression showed, he was indeed very happy.Originally, he thought that under the normal process, it would take at least three months for him to be promoted from a second-class soldier to a first-class soldier.

"By the way, your brother, I mean, Colonel Arcturus Mengsk will arrive at Turasis II next week." Warfield seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Augustus Say.

Augustus didn't respond to this, but just nodded flatly.

"Then I want to introduce you to a new member of your class, Private Rick Kidd, who was a recruit in the same period as you. In this period, he is the best recruit sniper." Warfield said at this time He looked at the recruit next to him.

"Take him to report to your superior."

"Now we are comrades-in-arms." Augustus shook hands with Rick Kidd who came over.

On the way back to the first class of dormitory, Rick seemed a little reserved and reserved, only answering a few sentences when Augustus asked him questions.

Augustus was poring over Rick's résumé, the camp instructor's recommendation, and a paper P-1.

These materials all point to the same point, that is, although the recruit Rick has never touched firearms before joining the army, and did not show sniper talent and this ability in the first two weeks, after receiving such training, Rick has Earned the sniper badge in just eight weeks of boot camp.

Before that, only two people in the previous boot camps had received such an honor, and both of them graduated from the only sniper academy in Tarsonis without exception.
