Geng Qinghai, chief of staff of the Southwest Military Region standing in the middle, got up and read out the order.
After he finished speaking, the two major generals next to him got up at the same time.
"Everyone has it! Stand up!"
Zhao Hai stood up and commanded loudly, and Li Yang walked to the summit.
Li Yang stepped onto the summit platform and solemnly saluted Geng Qinghai.
"You are all good, the country is proud of you!"
Geng Qinghai solemnly returned the gift, and solemnly handed over to Li Yang the honor that the 139 regiment had exchanged with blood and life.
Li Yang solemnly accepted the medal and certificate of honor, and then saluted again!
"Use me in the first battle! Use me to win!"
When Li Yang turned around, it was the 139th regiment.
All the soldiers stood up and shouted loudly.
This vigorous slogan was spread all over the country through the camera.
Li Yang stepped off the summit platform and sat back in his seat, and everyone else sat down.
"The following is awarded to those who are brave enough to fight the enemy to the end in this operation.
The First Battalion of the 139 Frontier Defense Regiment, the Honorary Title of the Frontier Defense Hero Battalion! "
Geng Qinghai read out the following order again.
In this confrontation of the first battalion, the casualties of all officers reached 80.00%.
This honor is extremely heavy.
Behind the title of honor is forged with life and blood.
The commander of the first battalion, Gorgon tea, walked towards the summit with red eyes.
At this moment, all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion stood up.
The camera was focused on the officers and soldiers of the first battalion, and many officers even wore bandages on their bodies.
Most of the first battalion are soldiers, only a few officers.
Geng Qinghai solemnly saluted Gorgon tea, and then handed the heavy medal and certificate of honor to Gorgon tea.
"Thank you for your sacrifice and dedication, the people of our country will always remember you.
A battalion of heroes, a collective of heroes! "
Geng Qinghai's words made the eyes of all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion red, and made Gorgon tea, a man from the northwest like an iron tower, red eyes.
This honor is too heavy, and the casualties of the first battalion are also very huge.
"Loyal to the motherland! Loyal to the people!"
Gorgon tea and everyone in the first battalion shouted in unison.
This is their answer, and this is their belief and conviction.
They have beliefs engraved in their bones, and they have beliefs that dissolve in their blood.
No one can defeat an army with strong beliefs, no one can defeat an army that is not afraid of death.
The eyes of countless compatriots watching the live broadcast were red.
The reason why this method is adopted this time is to strengthen the patriotic concept of countless people.
Let everyone know that a peaceful life does not depend on others.
It is not born with it. Peace is won by countless people who shed blood and sacrificed.
The present age is not just about peace.
Behind the peace, there are only people who are carrying the weight forward.
"The following confers the honorary title of Iron Hero Company to the Second Battalion and Fourth Company of the 139 Frontier Regiment who made a huge sacrifice in a single battle!"
Geng Qinghai continued to read the order.
The commander of the second battalion and the fourth company, Shen Shubo walked up to the summit with heavy weight.
His head was still wrapped in thick gauze, and one of his eyes could no longer be opened.
"You are all good fighters."
Geng Qinghai looked at the strong company commander in front of him, and said with a heavy tone.
Hand over this medal and certificate of honor to Shen Shubo.
"No regrets for the motherland!"
Shen Shubo replied respectfully.
Everyone's eyes were red at this moment, not only because of Shen Shubo's words.
It's because at this moment, there are less than 20 people standing up in Silian.
The warrior sitting in a wheelchair struggled to support his body and wanted to stand up.
There is a large area in the position of the fourth company, all of which are empty.
Everyone knows that that is the position of the sacrificial soldier.
In this operation, the 139th Border Defense Regiment was the unit that sacrificed the most in the entire southwest area.
The second battalion and the fourth company suffered the most casualties among the 139 frontier defense regiments.
There were 170 and eight people in the whole company, and only 150 people survived in the end.
Among the 150 people, 47 are still in the ICU.
More than 70 people have been disabled for life, and only less than [-] people can stand up.
The company commander's left eye was pierced, and the instructor died on the spot.
Without weapons, facing the enemy three times in the middle, Silian made huge sacrifices in exchange for the victory at that time.
Peace is never easy, two simple words.
Behind it is the sacrifice and dedication of countless people.
At this moment, the eyes of all audiences across the country were moist.
Especially young people, where previous battles may be far away.
But this time, these young officers and soldiers who were about the same age as them told everyone alive.
The meaning (王王赵) behind these two simple Chinese characters is peace.
Under everyone's respectful eyes, Shen Shubo stepped off the summit platform.
Sitting upright in his own position, the pain did not knock down this strong man.
". 々The following grants Shen Zuo a calm command during this conflict and confrontation.
Comrade Li Yang, the head of the 139th border defense regiment who led the troops to block the tigers, leopards and wolves.
The honorary title of Frontier Hero Commander! "
After the collective recitation, I started to recite the individual ones. Geng Qinghai continued to recite.
Li Yang went up this time and received his own personal title.
This is his third honorary title, but this time the honorary title.
The price behind it was too great, and it was paid by all the members of the 139th Border Defense Regiment.
It was just Li Yang who received it.
After reading Li Yang's honorary title, it will be the honorary title of martyr.
At this moment, everyone was silent, and Geng Qinghai kept on reciting each name.
When it is read, the whole group stands up and responds.
The fourth company responded 27 times, and the first battalion sacrificed an officer.
So they are separated, and the Fourth Company is a unit that has sacrificed so many people.
Undoubtedly very heartbreaking.
225: Sending Heroes Home
The commendation meeting lasted for four hours.
Finished around 13:[-] noon.
None of the people smiled because of their meritorious service.
All the officers and soldiers of the 139th regiment had unusually heavy faces.
Not all the martyrs have arrived at the scene.
The people who came were all the relatives who lived in the northwest area.
Or some places with more convenient transportation.
Like some places where transportation is inconvenient, some family members have not yet arrived.
All family members are escorted back home.
One by one, the martyrs cried and hugged their children.
They are heroes, but they are also ordinary people.
They are sons, fathers, and husbands.
He was an energetic young man when he came, and he was already protected by the national flag when he returned.
For others, we may just respect, shock, regret and so on.
But for the families behind the 47 people who died in this one battle.
This is an extremely painful thing, and it is also an extremely heavy thing.
Their pain, the grief of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, is incomprehensible to ordinary people.
The national flag body guard is indeed glorious, but it is also extremely heavy.
The crying family members made the scene out of control.
Painful screams, those who hear it are sad, and see them shed tears.
Even if it is a thousand words, even if it is endless glory.
There is no way to make up for their hurt hearts.
This is an incurable pain, and there is an incomparable heaviness behind the word "glory".
Bitterness, depression and heaviness permeated the entire camp.
"Have you sent them all away?"
Tired Li Yang returned to the office, sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette and said.
He would rather face the enemy's guns than those suffering family members.
He couldn't make up for the grief of these family members, and he didn't know how to comfort them.
For these family members, they would rather not have this honor, as long as their children can come back safely.
"I sent them all away, and people from the military region will come over tomorrow.
Help our brothers back home. "
Zhao Hai said with a headache.
He didn't know how he got here on this day, he was in pain.
Seeing those family members who are in more pain makes me feel bad at all.
Zhao Hai also made a personal second-class merit, but he would rather not.
The medals of everyone in the regiment are forged with fresh lives and blood behind them.
