Chapter 204 Commendation Conference
Time passed day by day.
There was no fighting on the front line, as if the years had suddenly become peaceful.
The seriously injured soldiers of the combined battalion were transferred to Panshan Hospital as their condition improved.
As for the martyrs who died in the battle, they will enter the Masuopo Martyrs Cemetery, along with the martyrs of the 42nd Division.
The combined battalion also resumed training.
The missing soldiers were replenished again.
Just after the Lantern Festival, Liu Tao had a double happiness.
The administrative level of Panshan Machinery Factory was upgraded to the level of a full department.
The level of Liu Tao, the factory director, was also upgraded to the 10th level. If it were in the army, it would be equivalent to the level of a full division, and he had to be a senior division commander!
Liu Tao was very calm about this document, because he knew it before, and now it was just a formal document.
But for others, they couldn't help but be happy, because the administrative level was upgraded for nothing, and the upgrade meant a salary increase.
Even if it was just an extra 10 or 20 yuan a month, it still made everyone happy.
Another happy event, however, is that with the follow-up of the battlefield being dealt with, it is time to reward meritorious service.
For the troops, the most important thing is military merit!
The entire combined battalion set off for Kun City.
The headquarters seemed different today and full of joy.
There are thousands more people in the headquarters today than usual.
Auditorium.
The layout today was particularly grand. Above the rostrum, there was a line of large words: XX Commendation Conference
According to the original deployment of the superiors, this battle should be a small battle.
After all, the combat goal is to conquer Koulin Mountain, and the total strength of the enemy troops in Koulin Mountain is only one battalion.
Unexpectedly, the enemy temporarily increased its strength to the strength of a reinforced regiment.
But the troops still won, and it was a great victory, and it can even be said to be a "miraculous" victory.
The 14th Infantry Regiment of the 313th Division stationed in Koulin Mountain was completely wiped out, achieving the strategic goal. Moreover, the 457th Artillery Regiment, the Division Tank Battalion, and the 191st Infantry Regiment of the enemy army that came to support were annihilated, and half of the troops and most of the combat effectiveness of the 313th Division of the enemy army were destroyed in one battle.
And this achievement took the troops only one day.
Afterwards, the enemy bombarded Tianbao Town from the Laoshan direction.
The troops turned to Laoshan and started the battle to recapture Laoshan.
On the first day of the battle, the main peak was captured and the reinforcements of a regiment of the 313th Division of the enemy army were bombarded.
It only took a few days to annihilate a reinforced regiment and an infantry regiment of the 313th Division stationed in the Laoshan area.
It can be said that the 313th Division of the enemy army was annihilated in a few days. After all, the fleeing troops of the 313th Division of the enemy army plus the division headquarters only had about a thousand people in total.
Tens of thousands of enemy troops were killed and more than two thousand prisoners were captured.
There were even two regiment commanders of the enemy army!
Such a great victory should naturally be commended.
The leader gave a speech in front, first denouncing the cruelty of the enemy, emphasizing that this battle was a just battle for the soldiers, and praising the troops for their bravery and good fighting, fearlessness of difficulties and sacrifice.
About half an hour later, the exciting part came, and the commendation began.
The leader held a list of commendations that had been prepared long ago and announced:
"According to the decision of the military region and approved by the Military Commission, the Panshi Battalion is awarded the honorary titles of 'First-Class Meritorious Battalion' and 'Tiger Hero Battalion', and is awarded to the Panshi Battalion."
As the most outstanding battlefield performance, the most obvious record, and the greatest role of the synthetic battalion, it was awarded the most honorary titles after the war.
Collective honors from battalions to companies.
The entire synthetic battalion collectively won the first-class merit, which is also extremely rare among collective honors.
There are only two honorary titles, whether it is the 'First-Class Meritorious Battalion' or the 'Tiger Hero Battalion', the gold content is full, which fully reflects the superior's affirmation of the combat exploits of the synthetic battalion.
You know, two years ago, in the 'Red Dragon's Roar', only eight battalions were awarded honorary titles.
In addition, each company of the combined battalion was also awarded an honorary title.
Tank Company 1 was awarded the honorary title of "Tiger Company", and Tank Company 2 was awarded the honorary title of "Heroic Tank Company".
Infantry Company 1 was awarded the honorary title of "Heroic Knife Company", Infantry Company 2 was awarded the honorary title of "Heroic Assault Company", Infantry Company 3 was awarded the honorary title of "Heroic Assault Company", and the Special Operations Team was awarded the honorary title of "Tiger Special Operations Team".
In terms of collective honors, the combined battalion has ushered in a great harvest.
Even more than the 42nd Division combined!
In terms of individual commendations, it is also very outstanding.
More than 800 people in the combined battalion were all commended.
Even the three martyrs who died were posthumously awarded the honorary title of "Combat Hero".
One by one, combat heroes, first-class merit, second-class merit, and third-class merit!
As the commander, Li Fuguo also won two first-class merits!
Liu Tao clapped his hands vigorously. Although he did not receive a medal, he was excited for his soldiers.
The soldiers were also very excited. Even the soldiers who were seriously injured before, when the leaders gave them the military medals, they all shed excited tears and felt that their lives were worth it.
For soldiers, military merit is not easy.
Especially the first-class merit, which is even rarer!
Only in wars, there will be so many military merits.
Pa Pa Pa Pa——
Thunderous applause rang out, and everyone was applauding.
The individuals who were commended applauded excitedly.
Personal honors, this time more than a thousand people were commended.
More than half of the combined battalion received individual commendations!
Explosive applause rang out for a long time.
At noon, everyone ate at the headquarters. Today's meals were much richer than usual.
"I didn't expect the superiors to give us so many first-class merits!" Li Fuguo said with emotion.
First-class merit, this is already the highest level of military merit now, and above that is a personal honorary title.
There are hundreds of thousands of people on the eastern and western fronts of the "Red Dragon", and only about 200 first-class meritorious people were awarded. It is conceivable how difficult it is to get first-class merit.
But this time, a hundred people in the combined battalion received first-class merit.
Zhao Guoping said: "Our combined battalion has the most significant combat achievements, so we have such a great victory. It is not too surprising to be commended by the superiors."
"You have to report carefully at the afternoon meeting. The leaders are very interested in our combined battalion." Liu Tao said, "I have proposed to the leaders that our Panshan Machinery Factory should establish a combined brigade to conduct experimental exploration!"
The idea of a combined brigade has never been broken off by Liu Tao when the combined battalion was first established.
Although the current combined battalion is not even a complete combined battalion, there is still some gap from the truly complete combined battalion.
For example, there are no satellites in the sky, no fighters, helicopters, and drones in the air!
For example, there are no informationized combat troops.
But it does not prevent Liu Tao from setting up the framework first. It cannot be a complete combined battalion or combined brigade. It is also possible to make a poor version of a combined brigade!
As for the others, they can be filled step by step and finally form a complete body.
Li Fuguo found it incredible, but Liu Tao knew that the battle record was one aspect, but it also reflected the attention and interest of the superiors in the combined battalion.
This time, there were no less than ten leaders coming from the capital.
