Chapter 306: Another Second-ss Merit
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
The military song yed loud and clear, and the military g was fluttering…
On the 21st, except for those who had special missions, such as guarding the border of the mothend and guarding some important military sites, the rest of the members gathered at the drill ground.
As the military song yed and the military g rose, themander stood on the high tform and shouted loudly into the front with a loudspeaker…
“We are the armed forces of the people.
In the past 18 days, your performance is worthy of the title of the people returning their children to the army.”
The regimentmander wasn’t stingy with his praise.
This was not a training session, and the soldiers and officers of the Iron Bones Hero Squad had indeed performed well in this operation.
Everyone was fighting desperately. The entire regiment was fighting the flood. No matter how dangerous or urgent the situation was, no one left the group. They were all risking their lives to save people.
Up until now, there were still more than 50 people in the team who were receiving treatment in various hospitals and had not returned to the team.
These people were the jewels of the Iron Bones Hero Squad for this flood relief mission.
Of course, this did not mean that the warriors who were still standing here were not good.
It just meant that being hospitalised was not a disgrace, but an honour.
They were injured and hospitalised for the sake of the people and the country.
And those who were still standing there were actually more or less injured in some way.
This was also an honour.
The regimentmander stood on the stage, praising first before concluding.
However, the whole process did not take long, only about ten minutes.
Then, themittee member also went on stage to speak for a few minutes.
The two of them were very concise because there were not only soldiers here today, but also some families of the meritorious soldiers who were watching the ceremony.
Very soon, the Chief of Staff stepped forward and started to take attendance.
“Police Investigation Company, Lu Shan, Lu Cheng, Wan Bao Jiang…”
Wang Ye was surprised for a moment. After the recruitpany ended, this was the first time he heard the names of hisrades from otherpanies.
In the previous drill and this flood rescue, Wang Ye had never seen hisrades from the 5th squad of the recruitpany who had been assigned to otherpanies.
But today, in the team of the police investigationpany, Wan Bao Jiang stepped out…
He made a meritorious service in the flood fighting and rescue operation.
The chief of staff read out 31 names in a row, which basically covered all thepanies present.
A resounding” Here!” as everyone sounded.
Wang Ye heard and saw that many of them did not respond personally.
Many of the awards belonged to hisrades who were still in the hospital.
However, it was not a big problem. If they were not around, the merits would be collected by the toon leader.
For example, Zhou Qi also represented Luo Yang, who had sprained his ankle to save someone.
He had received themendation of a flood-fighting warrior.
As Zhou Qi went on stage, Wang Ye was also quietly looking at the stage.
Other than the three soldiers of the fourthpany, Wang Ye only knew Wan Bao Jiang.
However, this was not important.
Very soon, the first round of the award ceremony ended.
Then, the chief of staff read out another twelve names.
Because the Ironbones Hero Squad was stationed in Xi Guang, they were the first echelon of the flood relief team.
The first thing they did was to enter the battlefield and head to various critical areas to carry out missions.
Therefore, there were quite a number of people who had rendered meritorious service.
There were more than 30 awards, and the number of third-ss merits had reached double digits. Twelve of them were awarded at once.
Amongst them, the 4th Company took up quite arge portion…
Five of them were awarded the Fourth Consecutive Merit, and two were awarded the Third ss Merit.
And this was only a reward and third-ss merit.
When the third-ss merit award ended.
The chief of staff shouted again,”Xiang Hong of the 2nd Company of the first battalion, Wang Ye of the 4th Company of the second battalion!”
This time, there were only two names.
“Here!”
Wang Ye replied loudly when he heard his name.
After stepping out of the line, Wang Ye came to the stage.
The one from the 1st Battalion, 2nd Company opposite them was a Lieutenant.
Wang Ye knew that he was not Xiang Hong.
Because they were still fighting the flood, Wang Ye had heard that Xiang Hong was only a first-ss soldier.
When he was moving the trapped people, the house suddenly copsed.
He protected the child in his arms, but he was seriously injured by the debris of the copsed house.
After he was dug out, the child was fine and he was hospitalised.
The person who came up should be his ss monitor.
“Comrade Xiang Hong, Comrade Wang Ye, in the process of this flood relief, you were not afraid of sacrifice. You were brave and tenacious, sacrificing yourself to save others.
It was decided to award Xiang Hong and Wang Ye with a second-ss merit.”the Chief of Staff announced loudly.
Then, Wang Ye and the others were personally helped to put on the ribbons.
After that, the regimentmander personally awarded him the medal and certificate…
shes shed. On the stage, there were several reporters from various military units taking photos at the scene to collect follow-up publicity materials.
This wasn’t like the second-ss merit that Wang Ye had achievedst time, which could only be secretly awarded and couldn’t be publicised.
It was a very glorious thing to render meritorious service in flood fighting and rescue, and it was even more worthy ofmendation and publicity.
“Wang Ye, congrattions on obtaining another second-ss merit!”
The regimentmander stood in front of Wang Ye. When he helped Wang Ye put on the military medal, he said softly with a smile,
His voice wasn’t loud, but the squad leader of the Second Company, who was standing beside Wang Ye and helping his squad to receive second-ss merit, was also there.
Therefore, he widened his eyes and looked over.
What did he mean by obtaining another second-ss merit?
Didn’t Wang Ye only have two third-ss merit points before?
Where did thise from?
Did the toon Leader say something wrong?
He looked at hismander, but all he saw was hismander’s smile.
Looking at Wang Ye, Wang Ye also smiled and replied,”Thank you, toon Leader!”
“Do well. I look forward to your future!”
The regimentmander patted Wang Ye’s shoulder.
“Yes, sir! I guarantee that I won’t fail my mission!” Wang Ye saluted.
This scene made Squad Leader Xiang Hong’s eyes widen even more.
What was going on?
Wang Ye did not deny it?
toon Leader didn’t change his words?
However, he soon found out what was going on.
When the regimentmander gave him the medal, he didn’t help him put it on. After all, it wasn’t his.
However, when he handed it to him, the regimentmander whispered,””You didn’t hear anything just now. Remember the confidentiality agreement!”
“Yes, sir!”
His stomach was filled with doubts, but he could only suppress them now.
He nced at Wang Ye again and saw that he was standing still.
He wanted to ask, but he knew he couldn’t.
He could only step down with the medal of merit and certificate he received on his behalf.
Wang Ye still needed to stay on the stage to take some photos with the regimentmander and the others.
As for him, because he was not Xiang Hong, he naturally did not need to go through this process.
After Wang Ye left the stage, no one else’s name was called out.
This time, the Ironbones Hero Squad did not have any first-ss merits. Two second-ss merits were the limit. However, before this, only individual merits were awarded.
Next, there was the collective honour award.
They were awarded some collective awards and third-ss merits.
What was worth mentioning was that they didn’t receive any third-ss merit.
Although the Fourth Company had gained quite a lot this time, there was only one third-ss collective merit, which was given to the 9th Company.
Their toon had sessfully averted a dangerous ident during a rescue mission, so they finally received this collective third-ss merit.
Of course, it wasn’t that they didn’t get anything.
Wang Ye’s ss Eight had obtained another collectivemendation this time.
This was what he had obtained from catching the thief who had robbed during the flood.
Everyone in ss Eight felt a little regretful.
The thief had fallen asleep after getting drunk. After waking up, he was caught without any resistance, so ss Eight could only give a collectivemendation.
If he was really a little dizzy at that time, he would not have pulled out a knife to hurt someone.
As long as he took it out, this collective reward might be a collective third-ss merit.
