Chapter 657
Medals were awarded on the spot. In addition to the first, second and third class merit medals awarded to combatants, in addition to field army officers and soldiers, 15 militiamen who participated in the battle received second and third class merit medals.

All combatants and military and civilians involved in logistics services were awarded the first anti-encirclement and suppression victory medal.The personnel and logistics personnel who participated in the battle in Chengmai also received the "Chengmai Battle Victory Medal".

After the awarding of the medals, the whole army was divided into battalion teams.To the whistle of the Grenadier March, five battalions and militiamen marched past the parade platform.All cheered three times.

After the military parade, He Ming led all the members of the condolence group into the officer's cafeteria.This is a place specially for senior military officers to eat. There are tablecloths and flowers on the table, sun-shading shutters are hung on the windows, and large ice buckets are placed at the four corners and in the middle of the house, slowly breathing white air.As soon as you walk in, you feel very comfortable.

The orderlies had already prepared hot towels and herbal tea.

"You're not bad here." Wen Desi got down and wiped the sweat all over his head. Although the reviewing troops were majestic, they stood in the sun neatly dressed, walking around, and kept their clothes on. The most majestic posture, this job is really not easy.Wen Desi thought that when he watched the video of the military parade on Red Square in the past, the leaders of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, in their seventies and eighties, were still standing in the cold wind for several hours.

"This is the canteen for senior officers, and it is also our meeting room." He Ming avoided saying the word "veteran officer" in the barracks. He believed that with the increasing number of indigenous officers, he kept reminding the latter to notice this difference. is unwise.

After a while, the orderlies served their lunch—the meal-sharing system was adopted here like all the canteens of the Crossing Group.Each person has a wooden plate with rice, vegetables and soup inside.

The rice is brown rice, and the dishes include vegetables, prawn tempura, stir-fried sea razor clams, seaweed tofu soup, and finally a few fried meatballs.Burnt aroma tangy.

In the middle of the table are rectangular wooden plates filled with crushed ice and lined with various sashimi.

"It's all things found in the sea," Zhan Wuya sighed, "I always feel that our eating habits are getting closer to the Japanese." He said and took four or five pieces of sashimi.

The fishery here in Ma Niao is quite developed, and the Agricultural Committee has set up a second fishery acquisition and processing plant here to use the salt here to process seafood.Recently, a large-scale gas cold storage has been built here to store fresh seafood, and the supply is very sufficient.

There are also many subtropical fruits that fill the plate, jackfruit being the most popular, followed by pineapples, bananas and mangoes.

Drinks are coconut water and kvass, no alcohol - except kvass and beer which is not yet in production.

"I have meatballs today." Looking at the fragrant croquettes, someone excitedly picked up pepper and salt and sprinkled them on and started to eat them, applauding them over and over again while eating.

"What kind of smoked sausage, meatballs, etc., you'd better not know what they are made of." Wen Desi muttered, he ate a meatball, the smell of spices was very strong, and it even tasted like beef .

Needless to say, this must have been done by dead cows and horses recovered from the battlefield.Although he didn't come to the front line in person, he had seen the list of spoils.It even clearly stated how many dead cows and horses were seized-apparently they all came to improve food.

"What's going on in the afternoon?" Wang Luobin asked while eating.

Wen Desi said: "Distributing condolence packages - we don't need to do this. The packages have been sent to the warehouse. The officers just send them out by hair. We have to go to the hospital once and hold a condolence activity."

"How many wounded are there?"

He Ping, a representative of the Ministry of Health, said: "We have very few wounded, less than 30 who need hospital treatment. However, there are many seriously wounded prisoners, nearly [-], and the hospital is almost full."

"Give some condolences to the captives, of course, things should be simpler, and one person should give a piece of dried fish as an extra meal at night-do you have dried fish here?"

"Yes, we have a lot here." Dongmen Chuiyu said.

"Borrow four hundred dried fish first." Wen Desi thought for a while, "Let Pan Pan prepare the DV and shoot more material in the afternoon."

Hospital condolences were carried out in the afternoon.Afterwards, an article titled "Sea-like Care" was published in "Lingao Times? Public Edition" about this matter:

"After the grand military parade to celebrate the victory of our great regime, the condolence team had a simple lunch in the cafeteria of the Mayao Base.

All the materials for the lunch were produced by the cadres and soldiers of Ma Niao's Fubo Army with their own hands.Wen Desi, Ma Qianju, Wang Luobin, Zhan Wuya and other leading comrades enjoyed a simple lunch while admiring the food produced by the Fubo Army in accordance with the glorious instructions of the Senate to "start war production campaign and reduce the burden on the people". delicious.

During the meal, Chairman Wen asked about the situation of the wounded soldiers in Bobo.

"Their conditions are all stable." Commander-in-Chief He said, "The wounded have been well taken care of and are recovering."

Chairman Wen proposed to visit the wounded in the afternoon, and distributed condolences to them that contained the deep friendship of the Senate and the people.Commander-in-Chief He said: You have worked hard to review the troops in the morning, so let other leading comrades go in the afternoon.

"We came here to condolence to the soldiers of the Fubo Army. Compared with their arduous battles, what is our hard work in the morning?" He said with a hearty smile, "We should finish eating as soon as possible." For lunch, I have to go early to condolences to the wounded comrades, so as not to delay their afternoon rest."

Hearing such words, Commander-in-Chief He and everyone were too moved to speak.Everyone is proud to have such an approachable commander who cares for every ordinary soldier in his busy schedule.

In the Ma Niao Lu Naval Hospital, there was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

This is a brand new hospital.On a barren vacant land, it took only three months for the engineering head office, known for its high efficiency and high quality, to build it.Now, the hospital is equipped with the latest medical equipment from Australia, served by many well-trained medical staff.

The wounded had exhausted the nutritious lunch that would allow them to recover as soon as possible, and were about to rest, when a voice came: "The sympathy team from the Senate is here!"

Like spring rain falling on the dry land, the officers and soldiers wounded in the battle supported their bodies excitedly.

"Don't get up, take a good rest." Secretary Ma kindly helped an excited wounded man who sat up on the bed to the pillow.

He asked the medical staff how many wounded there were and how were their injuries?
After getting the answer, he looked around the ward, which contained his deep concern.At the beginning, the documents for the construction of the Ma Niao Lu Naval Hospital were advocated by the Secretary of State Ma, and he personally marked and modified the design drawings.

He looked around the room and said with a satisfied smile: "The hospital bed is well prepared, and a flap for the dining table has also been added."

As he spoke, he carefully inspected the small dining table on the hospital bed.

Sometimes he bent down to look at it, and sometimes he took a step back to have a look, and suddenly asked if the dining table seemed higher.

The paramedics hadn't noticed that yet and couldn't answer right away.At this time, he said to a wounded man who was about to recover: "Is the dining table convenient to use?"

The wounded man sat up, put his arms on the table, moved his body back and forth, said he didn't feel high.

The entourage compared the sitting height of the wounded with the height of the dining table, and said: It seems to be quite suitable.

However, Comrade Ma Qianzhu looked around the height of the dining table with a pensive look, and shook his head slightly.

The cadres didn't know why he shook his head like that, and stood there puzzled.

He said it was important to take into account that the wounded were of different heights.The wounded man was relatively tall, but what about those short cadres and soldiers?Consider their convenience.The cadres and soldiers who were injured in the service of duty have already made great sacrifices, and we must take care of their health and daily life in every possible way.

The medical staff were so excited that their throats were blocked when they thought that dear Comrade Ma Qianzhu was taking care of all the people who came here like a worried mother.

Every room in the Ma Niao Lu Naval Hospital is filled with the love and meticulous care of the elders for the people.

Comrade Zhan Wuya, who served as the manufacturing director, immediately said: After returning home, we will improve the hospital bed and add adjustable mechanisms so that every wounded and sick patient can recover happily in the most comfortable environment.

"Although the matter is small, our fighters are the treasures of the regime, and they cannot be ignored for a while." He said.

Subsequently, the condolence team distributed sympathy items to the wounded who were honorably wounded in the battle.Although the condolences are simple, they are full of the deep affection of the Senate and the people.Such a grace as heavy as Mount Tai shines into the hearts of every wounded and sick like the sun.

A soldier with a broken arm was wearing a thick plaster cast, and needed the help of a nurse to eat and dress.When the condolence package full of the care of the Senate and the people was delivered to his bedside, he was able to take the heavy condolence package with his own hands.

When walking to the lounge, Comrade Ma Qianju suddenly asked: Why don't the wounded living in the other buildings distribute condolences?

"The people who live there are all the enemy prisoners who came to invade us." The person in charge of the hospital said.

"In this case, they should also be given some condolences."

People around were surprised.

Throughout history, wounded captives have always died in the end.But in Lingao, they got the best treatment.

Someone said incomprehensibly: "They are enemies, enemies who are trying to harm the people of Lingao. It is the greatest grace for us to treat them and keep them alive."

"Even if the former enemies have put down their weapons and surrendered to us, they must be treated equally." Comrade Ma Qianju said, "Only in this way can we fully demonstrate our broad mind to tolerate the world."

The accompanying personnel were all impressed by the broad mind of the elders.

......"

In fact, the reality is not so dramatic. The inspection of the captive wounded by the condolence team only lasted about 15 minutes.Made a simple speech.This speech really touched the hearts of many people and made them very grateful, but it was not something like adding a piece of dried fish to dinner at night.

The core of Ma Qianju's speech is the way out.He promised that once all the wounded recover, the Australia-Song regime will hire them and give them a job so that they can support their families.

A few days ago, Ma Qianju had learned from He Ping's report that about one-third of the wounded officers and soldiers admitted to the hospital would suffer from varying degrees of disability.Captives without disabilities were sent directly to the labor force to serve in the labor force after recovery, but it was very difficult for people with disabilities to survive in ancient times.At that time, most of the people who were willing to serve as soldiers were from poor families who could not survive. If they were disabled, they would die if they went back.

It was in this respect that he moved the hearts of the captives.Let them fully feel the difference between the old and new societies.This group of wounded prisoners later became the most staunch supporters of the new society.

After the inspection, Ma Qianzhu asked the interim person in charge of the hospital: "How about the death rate?" He was very interested in the hospital's treatment efficiency.

"Very low. As long as they can be treated in time, they can basically survive. It should be said that the two magic weapons of antibiotics and tetanus serum have saved many lives." After the health team returned to Tranquility in Ma Niao, they said, "But broken The effective rate of cold serum is not high, some batches have low effective rate, while others are high. The overall calculation is about 70%.”

"Two-thirds of the efficiency is very good."

"Yeah, I can only look at it this way." Tranquility Sea is not very used to such a rough standard, "It is the lack of veteran doctors and nurses. The conditions here are relatively poor."

"The conditions are poor, can we create good conditions?" Ma Qianju touched his pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff, "The conditions here are not good, no one wants to come, you come to be the horse How is the director of Niao Hospital?"

"Me?" Tranquility Sea was a little hesitant. He was indeed a doctor. He had studied medicine and worked as a clinician for several years, but he didn't practice medicine afterwards.Whether it is medical treatment or health management, he is already very unfamiliar.

"Yes, aren't you a doctor?"

"I am a Ph.D. in computational biology, and it is very difficult to say that it has something to do with medicine."

"It doesn't matter."

"Then, do we have to go through the organizational procedures..."

"Of course, of course, but you have to have this intention."

"I understand. I will sign up when I return to Lingao."

After coming out of the hospital, the members of the condolence team had a conversation with the veteran officers of the army at the Mayao base.The conversation was conducted in secret.The content of the conversation involved all aspects of this campaign.It is mainly related to the content of the battle review.

The impeachment attempted by some of the elders died in the preparation stage because it did not get the two-thirds consent of all the elders.However, the 35-point questions raised by some elders in the Senate required the Executive Committee, the Army and the Navy to answer them one by one.

Wen Desi handed the document to He Ming: "To be honest, many questions are not easy to answer, and you should think carefully about how to answer them."

"Of course it's telling the truth." He Ming took the document and took it out to look at it for a while, and said, "I think it's better for me to attend the hearing of this inquiry. At most, Chen Haiyang should be called. It's best not to summon him. The other veteran officers are here. In case anyone makes a fuss."

"Of course, of course." Ma Qianzhu nodded and said, "The executive committee has also been criticized, but I fully understand. A democratic system, that's what it means."

Wen Desi waved his hand and said: "We can develop a habit in the future, and we must sum up and improve every time we fight. The so-called 'counting as inspection and correction' cycle method. This is how we do things now, talk about the problems we find, and how to improve them. As for the hearings of the Senate, just make sense."

On the same day, a series of investigations and corrections were carried out on the problems arising from the anti-encirclement and suppression operations.A series of issues exposed including the quality of weapons, soldier training, tactical use, logistics equipment, and combat systems were discussed.

"The quality control of homemade miniguns is poor and the scales are inaccurate."

"The life of the barrel and parts is not enough. The nominal barrel life is 200 rounds. After 100 rounds are actually fired, the rifling will be severely ablated. If you don't bring a lot of spare guns, I'm afraid you will have to fight with bayonets."

Zhan Wuya wrote down in his notebook and said: "The level of mechanical processing is excessive, but the material is still not up to standard."

"The black powder grenade is not powerful enough."

"We are considering changing to a full-load rifle and switching to a new propellant."

"The soldiers all switched to steel helmets. The protection effect of rattan helmets is not good. It is meaningless to wear them."

"The quality of military shoes is not good. Cloth-soled shoes are easy to break, and wearing straw sandals can seriously hurt your feet. Fortunately, it is not a long-distance march."

"It's best to equip the first-level commander with binoculars."

"Military academies should be on the agenda."

……

The final compilation of materials has a thick volume.Ma Qianju told him to send this material back to Lingao immediately.As a meeting material for the next plenary meeting of the Executive Committee.

In the afternoon, condolences were distributed to all officers and soldiers, militiamen and militiamen who participated in the war.Condolences are very affordable cloth, silk, tobacco and wine.All the combatants also received varying bonuses.The officers and soldiers of the Fubo Army each received an additional bonus of three months of military pay.Militiamen and militiamen are equivalent to one month's military pay for a first-class soldier of the Fubo Army.There is an additional reward for those who receive the Military Medal.

That night, sumptuous banquets were held in various canteens and playgrounds.Each person's wooden lunch box has two kinds of meat dishes: one piece of meat, two pieces of fish steak, and scrambled eggs.No matter whether it was meat dishes or vegetables, they were all cooked exquisitely and deliciously - all were cooked by the chefs from the commercial restaurant and the cooperative restaurant.Barrels full of kvass filled the tables.As long as you are not on duty, you can drink as much as you want.

The officers and soldiers of the army and navy, militiamen, and militiamen who participated in the war sat at the table with smiles on their faces, eating and drinking.The veterans of the sympathy group dispersed, went to all the banquets in the base one by one, and toasted all the officers and soldiers.

Drinking a lot, even if it's just kvass, can make you slightly intoxicated.The entire Ma Niao base is immersed in the ocean of joy.
