A few days later, a meeting was held in the brigade to award medals to individuals who participated in the top-notch assessment and reached the standard.

In combat units, rewards are divided into several tiers.

If you insist on dividing it from difficulty, the most arrogant title in peacetime is the honorary title, which is directly awarded by the Military Commission and belongs to the highest level of honor.

The second is the first, second, and third grades of merit, and then there are all kinds of martial arts medals and medals.

Further down, there are medals such as outstanding soldiers. These places are relatively large. Compared with the military elite medals, outstanding soldiers are comprehensively judged. They are selected by the branch of the army united each year, and it is relatively easy to obtain.

Further down, there are various awards.

From the division brigade to the lowest company, there are awards.

Although they are both called awards, they are not the same.

The awards above the battalion can be filled in the form and put into the file, and the awards of the company are usually only verbal.

Generally, if the top medal was obtained, the company would help the soldiers to declare third-class merit according to the situation, but this is not a hard and fast rule. In many cases, it is just the common name agreement of each unit.

For example, the 1st division is the third-class merit obtained twice, and the company can submit it directly. If a soldier wants to submit it directly, it must meet this condition.

Second-class merit is more difficult to obtain in peaceful times. Generally, outstanding contributions are required. What is outstanding contribution?

That is, you encounter gangsters, fight gangsters bravely, get injured, or appear in local media and newspapers, etc., and become typical.

The second-class meritorious service can also be obtained by winning a ranking in the competition of the whole army or above in the military region.

As for first-class merit and honorary titles...

This can only be said to rely on fate, must make great contributions to get this honor.

On the day of the award, solemnly stepped onto the rostrum and stood in front of a group of officers. Deputy Chief of Staff Cui Gaoyi presented the award in person.

When Huang Chengcheng's training top gold medal, like an Olympic medal, was hanging on the solemn neck, he immediately stood at attention and gave a standard military salute to Cui Gaoyi.

It's definitely a joy to have this top training medal.

This is even happier than the third-class merit in the flood fight before.

The third-class merit Zhuang Yan has been hidden and never brought out. Although it also represents honor, emotionally, Zhuang Yan deliberately avoided it.

If Lord Yama said that this military medal could be exchanged for the old confused life, Zhuang Yan would take it out without hesitation, and the deal would be done without a word.

But this military training top medal is poured into his own sweat and blood, and it is obtained with hard work and struggle.

From enlisting in the army in December last year to now, from being ridiculed by Niu Dali, the company can only go to the cooking class, from a recruit who once thought of being a deserter to becoming one of the top trainers in the division today, solemnly feels that the gold medal on his neck is heavy. .

This not only represents honor, but also represents one's own growth.

He decided to write a letter to his parents as soon as he returned to the row house to tell them the good news.

Participated in the pre-provisioned squad leader training, made meritorious deeds again, and received the top training medal again. Zhuang Zhenguo, his always strict father, should be able to show a smile this time, right?

After the last meritorious service, the family also received a good news. Zhuang Zhenguo wrote a long letter to Zhuang Yan for the first time. Although it was still in the tone of a strict father, there was pride between the lines.

It's just that Zhuang Yan was a little depressed because of the death of the old confused, and he didn't reply to Zhuang Zhenguo properly.

This time, he wrote the letter for three pages, but in the end he still didn't know what to do. He hung the medal and asked his comrades to take a picture with a point-and-shoot camera, washed it out and put it in the letter and happily sent it to his parents.

After the competition at the Normal University, there was still more than a month left in training, and the long-awaited graduation time seemed to finally come.

This is a delicate time.

When I first joined the teaching team, not only was it solemn, but almost all the students were looking forward to the day of graduation.

During the six-month training camp, everyone took off more than one layer of skin, lay on the bed countless times, returned to the old company in a dream, became the squad leader, brought new recruits, joined the party, and took the military academy...

As the days fly by, these dreams are one step closer in the eyes of all the prospective squad leaders.

The late autumn in Feiyun Mountain was a bit cold that year. The frigid mountain wind rolled the withered grass and ran tirelessly on the playground, just like the soldiers who were used to fighting tired and overworked daily, as if their eyes were never exhausted. The spring, the water of youthful strength is inexhaustible, outgoing steaming youth.

Nearly graduating, everyone was surprised to find that three trips a day with armed 5-kilometer cross country no longer made people tremble in their calves and stomachs, and the harsh sound of gunfire had long been accustomed to, and the task of chopping wood every Sunday morning became familiar.

It turns out that suffering can also become a habit.

At the end of October, all the defensive tactics and individual tactics of the offensive class, including the Sihui teaching and common subjects, have been completely completed.

Entering November, this is the month when Zhuang Yan is teaching the brigade to live the closest to the actual battlefield.

Because every day the teaching brigade is shrouded in the sound of all kinds of guns, all kinds of light weapons, including automatic rifles, light machine guns, 85 sniper rifles, heavy machine guns, high machine guns, 40 rocket launchers, recoilless guns, mortars, etc. will be in the shooting range. Take turns appearing.

In those days, after finishing the physical training in the morning exercise, I would definitely prepare two cotton **** when I returned to the row room after breakfast to sort out the equipment, because it is very likely that I would stay at or near the shooting range for half the day.

As an advance squad leader, all infantry light weapons must be learned, and various shooting methods must also be learned, such as night shooting of rifles and light machine guns, shooting at moving targets, shooting at elevation angles in mountains, close shooting, shooting with gas masks, and frontal machine guns. And deep dispersal shots, gap shots, overshoot shots, blocking shots, and more…

The first squadron shoots, and the second and third squadrons are organized by the instructors on the side of the equipment field outside the shooting range to give theoretical lessons. Various theories and various tables are memorized by rote. …

There are also various correction formulas~lightnovelpub.net~ at this moment, all of them are crammed into the brains of every student.

The teacher also often waved the chalk in his hand to warn that during the graduation exam, these are all written tests as theoretical knowledge, and you can't pass the test. Watch, go back to your own company and cry!"

In this highly tense atmosphere, in the days when he still feels his head buzzing even with two **** of cotton stuffed in it, Zhuang Yan has survived day by day.

Finally, one day in late November, when all the students of the Third Squadron were standing in front of the dining hall with yellow rice bowls and waiting for dinner, the squadron leader Zhou Huping announced a big news: "The graduation assessment will be held in two days. During the three days, except for the morning exercise, you can return to the row room to recite the theoretical knowledge of various subjects and the teaching plan of the Sihui. After three days, the assessment will be divided into two days. Common subjects and shooting assessments in the morning, and tactical command assessments in the afternoon."

The news was thrown into the crowd like a grenade and exploded.

After half a year, I am finally graduating.
