Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 251 Commendation of Powering the Three Armies, Li Yunlong and Wang Chengzhu won the third-class Yunhui Medal
Wang Shihe is the chairman's cousin and the chairman's bodyguard. Therefore, he is the chairman's relative and the chairman's confidant.

Since the Battle of Songhu, the chairman has been working hard on state affairs, and has hardly slept a few times.

Especially after the loss in Wuhan, the chairman often suffered from insomnia, and his mental state was extremely poor.

All this Wang Shihe saw in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

He helped the chairman as much as possible to handle state affairs and military affairs, and shared some tasks for the chairman, but it was still far from enough.

At this moment, Wang Shihe was also very happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw a relieved smile on the chairman's always gloomy face.

He replied: "Yes, Commissioner, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, this is the first time that our army has captured a Japanese major general."

The chairman laughed and said, "Hahaha! Such a feat in the second war zone has greatly boosted the morale of our army. The award must be rewarded heavily!"

But after finishing speaking, the smile on the chairman's face froze again, because this Japanese major general was captured by the Eighth Route Army, and rewarding the other party would not only make people think that his Central Army is not as good as the other side's Eighth Route Army, but also expand the opponent's strength. The Eighth Route Army has grown stronger, but he doesn't want to see it anymore.

However, for such a great military exploit, awards must be awarded, otherwise, he, the head of state, would be a little too small-minded.

Even if he is used by those who want to, it will set off a frenzy of public opinion, saying that he excludes dissidents.In this case, it will not only be extremely detrimental to the unified war of resistance, but will also chill the hearts of some local troops, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Wang Shihe also knew this, and he asked tentatively: "Committee, this Japanese major general was captured by the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, but I don't know how you want to reward them?"

This is an opportunity to boost the morale of the armed forces, and of course the chairman will not let it go.

After thinking carefully for a moment, he said: "Promote Li Yunlong, head of the Xinyi Regiment of the 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, to the rank of Colonel, and promote Wang Chengzhu, commander of the Independent Battalion of the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, to the rank of Army Major. The two are also awarded the rank of third-class Yunlong each." A medal of honor, a sword of Zhongzheng, and rewards from the three armed forces in newspapers and telegrams!"

There are two kinds of military ranks in the national army, one is the official military rank, and the other is the official military rank. There is a big difference between the two.The official military rank is issued by the chairman of the national government. Once appointed, it will be valid forever and will not change with the change of position. Unless promoted or degraded, most of these military ranks will be published in the communique of the national government.

There are changes in the military rank of the position. As the name suggests, the military rank will vary with the change of the position. For example, during the Anti-Japanese War, we often saw that someone was appointed as a major general, brigade commander, lieutenant general, division commander, etc., and the position and military rank were the same. Correspondingly, if the position changes, the military rank will also change accordingly, that is to say, the military rank of the position is temporary, and this military rank is issued by the chairman of the military committee.

At this time, the chairman awarded Li Yunlong and Wang Chengzhu the official military ranks.

In fact, it's not that the Nationalist Government did not confer military ranks on the commanders of the Eighth Route Army, but the Eighth Route Army did not accept them, so the Eighth Route Army's military uniforms do not have epaulets and collar badges with military ranks.

Let's talk about medals.

The medal is a symbol of honor for the country's special meritorious personnel, and it is also an affirmation of the achievements of the meritorious personnel.

There are six kinds of general medals for the three armed forces of the Nationalist Party, from high to low, they are the Guoguang Medal, the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, the Baoding Medal, the Yunhui Medal, the Loyalty Medal, and the Loyalty Medal.

The Yunhui Medal ranks fourth, and is named after Yunhui engraved in the center of the medal.Promulgated on June 24, 1935th year of the Republic of China (6).The first to ninth ranks are divided into big ribbons, the fourth and fifth ranks are collar ribbons, and the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth ranks are lapel ribbons.

Among them, the first to fourth grades are awarded to general officers, the third to sixth grades are awarded to school officials, the fourth to seventh grades are awarded to lieutenants, and the sixth to ninth grades are awarded to warrant officers and non-commissioned officers.

Both Li Yunlong and Wang Chengzhu are school officials, and the third-class Yunhui Medal is already the highest level they can award.

Speaking of which, the chairman awarded them the third-class Yunhui Medal, which is already a great affirmation of their military exploits.

However, Wang Shihe smiled knowingly after listening to the chairman's words, he is indeed the chairman, he is really clever.

It not only showed their own minds, but did not give the Eighth Route Army any practical benefits, and it would not improve their combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, it can be used to publicize this matter and inject a boost to the soldiers of the three armed forces, so as to boost the morale of the soldiers and the confidence of the people of the whole country in the victory of the War of Resistance.

When Wang Shihe was impressed by the chairman's skillful means, the chairman said: "Shihe, you should immediately send electricity to Yan Laoxi in the World War II zone and ask him to preside over the awarding ceremony of Li Yunlong and Wang Chengzhu. Escort Hattori Naotomi to Chongqing as quickly as possible!"

"Also, prepare again, I will hold a press conference immediately!"

"Invite all media reporters, especially those from Western media, to me!"

"Yes!"

Wang Shihe wrote down the chairman's words one by one, then turned and left, and went to carry out the chairman's order.

……

The screen returns to Shanxi.

Second War Zone Chief's Department, Confidential Room.

Zhang Riming had just called Director Zhang back, and was about to leave to go to the Military Supply Department, when the telegram from Chongqing was sent.

After reading the contents of the telegram, Zhang Riming postponed his plan to go to the Military Supply Department, returned to Yan Laoxi's office, and reported the matter to Yan Laoxi.

"Sir, this is the situation."

After listening to Zhang Riming's report, Yan Laoxi's face, which was still smiling just now, suddenly darkened, and said coldly: "The old general's intelligence personnel are really pervasive, and they found out about it so quickly, and they know it better than I did." detailed.

I got Naoko Hattori from the Eighth Route Army and paid a regiment of weapons and equipment. His old general is so worthless. With a red mouth and white teeth, he wants to get Naoko Hattori over. "

Zhang Riming just stood in front of Yan Laoxi and waited quietly, without answering the question.

After a while, the anger in Yan Laoxi's heart seemed to have dissipated a lot, and he changed his voice and said, "Riming, go call Chongqing and say that there is no problem in handing over Naomi Hattori to Chongqing, but they must hand over my second battle The battle damage in the area was replenished.

Don't want too much, the weapons, equipment and ammunition supplies of an army, plus one year's military salary are enough.

Then, when you went to the Eighth Route Army station, by the way, you also took care of conferring titles and medals on Li Yunlong and Wang Chengzhu. "

"Yes!"

Zhang Riming promised, then turned and left, and returned to the confidential department.
