Chapter 48 Merit and Honor
.............................................
Gather, the whole team is ready.
The entire Iron Fist Regiment was brought to the Regiment Hall to gather.
Jiang Yi was not with the company. He was arranged to sit alone in the second row in the middle. The first row was for the regimental commander and other officers.
Everyone was in high spirits, their backs straight, and they sat upright in the unique posture of soldiers.
"All rise!" the regimental duty officer ordered.
With a swoosh, all the soldiers in the auditorium stood up and stood at attention.
"Get dressed!"
These were the usual practices before the meeting, so I won't repeat them here.
After the entire procedure was completed, Gao Shiwei slowly walked into the auditorium.
First, the regiment commander, Kang Lei, went on stage to give a summary report on this exercise.
Then, Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei spoke.
" Comrades, many problems have been exposed in this exercise. We must overcome them in the following training. We must carry forward and inherit those who perform well..."
"Next, read out the order from the Southeast Military Command.”
Everyone's spirits were lifted. They all understood that the real highlight was coming.
"Order No. 37 of the Southeast Military Region, in view of the outstanding performance of the Iron Fist Regiment in the exercise, the revolutionary spirit of daring to fight and fighting, flexibility,
The ever-changing combat methods will grant the Iron Fist Regiment a third-class merit!”
As Gao Shiwei's voice fell, warm applause rang out in the auditorium.
After the applause stopped, Gao Shiwei continued to read out the order.
"Order No. 38 of the Southeast Military Region, in view of the outstanding performance of the Iron Fist Regiment's 4th Company of Sharpshooters in the exercise, the revolution that dares to fight and fight
Spirit, flexible and ever-changing combat methods, awarded the Iron Fist Group Sharpshooter Company Four Third Class Merit!”
These two collective third-class merits were only appetizers. They were very beneficial to the team's main officer, but they did not have any substantial benefits for ordinary warriors.
The real finale was left for later.
Everyone with discerning eyes knew that the Iron Fist Regiment's performance was terrible at the beginning. After their regiment commander, Conley, was captured, their combat strength was greatly reduced.
If Jiang Yi hadn't turned the tide and destroyed the Wolf's Fang first, then the Blue Army's command center, this exercise would have been the Iron Fist Guild.
He had lost completely.
The entire Red Army would lose this exercise!
"Southeast Military Region Order No. 39, in view of the outstanding performance of Comrade Jiang Yi of the Iron Fist Regiment's Sharpshooter Company 4 in this exercise,
The revolutionary spirit of daring to fight and fight, flexible and changeable combat methods, awarded to the Iron Fist Group Sharpshooter Fourth Company Private Jiang Yi as a second-class individual
Once!"
"Next, we welcome the individuals and unit representatives who have rendered meritorious service to come up on stage to receive the award!”
" Pa, pa, pa, pa." There was another round of applause from the audience, especially from the soldiers of the Sharpshooter Company. They came out with all their might.
Kang Lei, Gong Jian, and Jiang Yi lined up on stage to receive their awards.
Kang Lei and Gong Jian saluted, received their medals and certificates, and then left the stage.
When it was Jiang Yi's turn, the applause below the stage became even more enthusiastic.
Everyone knew clearly that this victory was almost entirely due to Jiang Yi turning the tables!
Jiang Yi walked up to Gao Shiwei, stopped, turned around, and saluted. Gao Shiwei returned the salute.
Then, he would put on the second-class medal for Jiang Yi and issue him a certificate!
"Comrade Jiang Yi, I'm not the only one who thinks highly of you.”
"Yes, sir! We will never let down the expectations of our motherland and people!”After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he turned to his comrades below the stage and saluted again!
Thunderous applause!
"Jiang Yi, wait. Your orders haven't been read out yet!”
Jiang Yi was about to step down when Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei called out to him.
"The seventh order of the Southeast Military Region, in view of the outstanding performance of Jiang Yi, the fourth company of the Iron Fist Regiment's Sharpshooter, in this exercise, and his consistent excellent training results, according to the regulations of the General Staff Department's General Political Department on promoting outstanding soldiers.”
"After the military district's Party Committee's discussion, we have decided to grant Comrade Jiang Yi the military rank of Captain and the administrative rank of Deputy Company!”
"Congratulations, Comrade Jiang Yi!"
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Jiang Yi was stunned!
What was going on?
It was expected that he would be awarded second-class merit, but the promotion was ambiguous. He did not expect the higher-ups to be so straightforward this time and directly give it to a captain!
He was on the same level as Gong Jian!
At this moment, Gong Jian's heart felt sour like a lemon!
He had been in the army for ten years. He had studied abroad and drank foreign ink. He had been in the special forces for a long time. Now, he was only a captain and a deputy battalion commander. He was a little higher than Jiang Yi.
"I hope that Comrade Jiang Yi will continue to work hard and create more glory! Gao Shiwei's voice reminded everyone, and the applause became even more enthusiastic.
Jiang Yi also reacted and walked to Gao Shiwei again.
Gao Shiwei took the captain's epaulet from the civil servant. He wanted to put it on Jiang Yi himself.
"I always thought that you didn't look good wearing the rank of private. You look much better wearing the rank of captain!”
"Captain Jiang Yi, congratulations on becoming a member of the army. From today onwards, your military rank will be higher, but the responsibilities on your shoulders will be heavier.”
"Thank you, Chief. I will definitely work harder and swear to protect my country and my people! I won't let you down!"
"It's good that you have this heart. You don't have to talk big to me. I know very well that you're a top student from Qingbei who gave up the chance to enter university to join the army.”
"I strongly recommended you to get the rank of captain this time. Firstly, your performance this time is indeed outstanding and you deserve the rank of captain. Secondly, I'm afraid that you'll go back to school and lose talents in the army.”
"I hope you won't let me down!”
Gao Shiwei patted Jiang Yi's shoulder hard.
Jiang Yi pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.
Everything was said without words.
