The hall of the division headquarters was spacious and bright, faintly exuding a sense of majesty. Anyone who entered would instantly feel their own insignificance.
Han Xiao followed Yang Zhan's instructions and sat in the middle of the audience seats. Around him were lieutenant-level elites from other units.
Yang Zhan sat in the front seat.
After all, the military was a system established by strict hierarchy, and this commendation ceremony was a microcosm of it.
Soon after, the commendation ceremony began. Several commanders of the division headquarters went on stage to give speeches one after another. The hundreds of people below would give thunderous applause from time to time.
About half an hour later.
The highlight of the commendation ceremony had arrived.
Tong Weiguo, who was sitting in the front row of the audience, stood up and went on stage.
In an instant, thunderous applause echoed in the hall for a long time, stirring the eardrums.
Han Xiao, who was clapping, recognized his teacher, Tong Weiguo, who was already standing on the stage. About a month ago, Tong Weiguo had personally gone to warehouse 611 in Zhonglin City. He had even given him a report. He did not expect to meet him again so soon.
Just as Han Xiao was thinking to himself, a second lieutenant walked to Han Xiao's side. When he saw Han Xiao's military rank and young face, a stunned expression flashed across his face.
He quickly checked the card in his hand and finally said,"
"Comrade Han Xiao, you can now follow me backstage to prepare for the award ceremony.”
Han Xiao smiled and nodded. Then, he stood up and left.
Envy flashed through the eyes of the two lieutenants who watched Han Xiao leave.
Although they had all followed their chief to participate in the commendation ceremony, how many of them could actually go on stage to be awarded the honor? Moreover, Han Xiao was still…A first-class private was simply the first of its kind in this great hall.
Han Xiao followed the guide to the backstage.
When Han Xiao entered, about fifteen lieutenant-level officers were tidying up their clothes in front of a rather large military mirror, waiting to go on stage. Some of them were even whispering to each other, as if they were very familiar with each other.
After Han Xiao came in, he suddenly felt like he was out of place. He really wanted to change his military rank, even if it was a sergeant.
"Old Han!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, attracting Han Xiao's attention.
Captain Luo Feng, who was dressed in his usual attire, walked towards him with a face full of surprise.
Following his shout, the dozen or so officers backstage who were about to go on stage to receive the award looked over.
"Han Xiao! You're here, haha!"
Another familiar voice sounded and walked towards Han Xiao.
It was the major of the motorcycle brigade, Liu Feng.
When they all gathered around Han Xiao, Han Xiao was pleasantly surprised to find that among the fifteen people who were ready to go on stage to receive the honor, seven of them were officers of various units who had been rescued from the prisoner of war camp and had followed him in the forest to severely injure the Blue Army Special Forces.
Suddenly, Han Xiao felt much better.
No matter what, they were brothers who had gone through life and death together!
Immediately after, the other captains who did not fight alongside Han Xiao also took the initiative to talk to Han Xiao, praising his performance in the drill.
Han Xiao did not put on airs and saluted them.
Following that, along with thunderous applause in the hall, the fifteen people, led by Han Xiao, went on stage one after another, imperceptibly demonstrating Han Xiao's status in their hearts.
With the appearance of the first-class soldier Han Xiao, Yang Zhan, who was in the audience, could not help but be overjoyed. He clapped so hard that he wanted to smash his hands. Many of the colonel-level officers in the front row of the audience were whispering to each other silently. No one knew what they were discussing.
Anyway, Han Xiao felt that there were countless pairs of eyes watching him at this moment, making him feel a little uncomfortable and slightly nervous.
When the applause fell silent.
The division commander, Tong Weiguo, said from the microphone set up on the side of the stage,
"In this military exercise, the fifteen officers on stage have performed outstandingly. I believe that you have heard a lot of rumors about one of them. Some even call him the Flying Tiger Division's sharp blade.”
"At first, I didn't believe it, but one day, I received seven handwritten letters from all the regiments and brigades. Only then did I know that one of my subordinates had changed the history of the defeat of the special forces.”
Tong Weiguo's words had rewritten the history of the field troops being defeated by the special forces. In an instant, the officers of the field troops below the stage were so excited that they burst into thunderous applause again.
At this moment, everyone in the hall felt extremely proud.
At the same time.
Two major officers walked over from the side of the stage and stood steadily beside Han Xiao.
Both of them were holding boxes with red gilded words in their hands.
In each of the two boxes lay a shining second-class military medal.
It instantly attracted the attention of hundreds of officers in the audience.
Even Luo Feng and the others, who were standing beside Han Xiao, couldn't help but look at him. They were all confused. Why were there two second-class military merit medals?
And in the audience stands, the regiment commander Yang Zhan secretly thought to himself, Han Xiao is going to win two second-class military medals!
Then, the division commander Tong Weiguo said,"
"This soldier who created the history of our field troops is a first-class soldier of the 3rd Regiment, 4th Company, Han Xiao.”
"You may only know that he was brilliant in the exercise, but you definitely don't know that I personally met him and his class a month ago.”
"The six people in the first squad were forgotten in a warehouse for more than a year due to the negligence of the army. No supplies, no allowance, no hope. They stood there and protected the honor of our soldiers.”
As soon as he said this, the scene was in an uproar again.
Many people even felt that this was a truly great achievement compared to the previous drill.
Tong Weiguo: " After the division's Party Committee's discussion and approval, Class Six will be awarded a second-class collective merit and the title of Hero Guardian!”
Tong Weiguo briefly recounted the deeds of the sixth class. His tone was impassioned, making hundreds of hot-blooded officers furious.
In the end, Tong Weiguo walked in front of Han Xiao and personally gave him his second-class medal of merit, commending his amazing achievements in the drill. He had turned the tables and created history under absolute disadvantage.
The second medal was a collective second-class military medal, commending him and his comrades for guarding warehouse 611 and never leaving.
Tong Weiguo asked Han Xiao to keep it and bring it back to his comrades.
At this moment, Han Xiao's heart was already in turmoil. He didn't know what to say either. He immediately saluted Tong Weiguo to express the excitement in his heart.
