Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 30 Medal Ceremony!

The next morning.

Xingxian County Government.

It has now become a makeshift "auditorium".

Time is precious, so there is no need for rehearsal or positioning.

Even the auditorium was built in a very hasty and crude manner.

General Liu Fei stood in front of the stage.

Chu Yunfei and other military officers sat in the audience with burning eyes.

Miss Manli raised the camera in her hand at this time.

General Liu Fei's speech ended quietly.

After hearing my name.

Chu Yunfei stepped forward.

The guard in a Zhongshan suit presented an exquisite medal with both hands.

General Liu Fei smiled and said words of encouragement to Chu Yunfei.

After shaking hands, Chu Yunfei saluted again.

"General Liu, please move a little to the left."

"Thank you."

At Miss Manli's signal, General Liu Fei adjusted his posture.

"Please wait!"

The flash went off, and a perfect photo was taken.

"The next step of awarding ranks will be in the charge of you, the chief officer!"

"Yes!"

After Chu Yunfei saluted, Liu Fei turned around and walked down to the stage.

Under the chairmanship of Chief of Staff Fang Ligong.

The fourth battalion commander Zhuo Tianyu and the second battalion commander Wu Ziqiang went on stage together.

Both of them looked very excited, with rosy faces and great energy.

Chu Yunfei took the beautifully crafted Gancheng Medal from Yang Congyun and put it on Zhuo Tianyu first.

Just when Miss Manli wanted to take a photo.

Chu Yunfei signaled: "Ms. Manli, they are the protagonists of this award ceremony. Please point the camera at them."

"I understand, Chu Jiangjun."

There was surprise in the eyes of Wu Ziqiang and Zhuo Tianyu.

JJ?

Is it possible?

Is the commander in chief doing this again?
Miss Manley nodded and adjusted the angle.

Chu Yunfei stepped forward and stood beside Wu Ziqiang.

The same was true when Zhuo Tianyu was awarded the honor.

offstage.

The third battalion commander Luo Weiguo was extremely jealous, and three of the four battalion commanders had already accepted the medals.

He was the only one who was not awarded as a reserve and support force.

Some of them were just commendations from the Second War Zone Commander Headquarters.

No one knows his name, Luo Weiguo.

not far away.

Battalion commander Qian Bojun had a faint smile on his face.

Indeed, the second and fourth battalion commanders performed well.

But compared with Qian Bojun.

That's a lot worse.

Sixth-class Yunhui Medal!

The Yunhui Medal is one of the medals of the Nanjing National Government’s army, navy and air force. It is named after the Yunhui engraved in the center of the medal.

Up to now.

There are only two people who have received such an honor.

In 1933, Dai Anlan, then commander of the 25th Regiment of the 145th Division, led his troops to participate in the Gubeikou Anti-Japanese War and made great contributions, for which he was awarded the Fifth Class Yunhui Medal.

This person is an outstanding graduate of the third class of Huangpu Military Academy.

During the Battle of Shanghai in 1937, Sun Yuanliang led the 88th Division to defend the Zhabei position for more than two months, and was awarded the third-class Yunhui Medal.

This "famous general" from the first class of Whampoa Military Academy is a very controversial one.

In Qian Bojun's own opinion, his achievements in this battle were not enough to win the sixth-class Yunhui Medal.

The reason why he was able to receive commendations and training from Nanjing was probably because Chu Yunfei, the head of the regiment, had smoothed the way for him.

When Fang Ligong read out the name of the battalion commander Qian Bojun, Qian Bojun immediately stood up, straightened his military uniform, and walked onto the stage with excitement.

Chu Yunfei took the medal and put it on carefully.

"It's time to take off the major's badge. I have already requested a promotion for you from the Second War Zone Command Headquarters. I expect to hear from you soon."

"Thank you, Commander."

Chu Yunfei looked at him with a burning gaze and patted his shoulder.

His eyes were full of anticipation, just like an old father hoping his son would become successful.

Qian Bojun has some abilities, but not much.

He is considered to be pretty good among the misfits in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and has now been completely subdued by Chu Yunfei.

"You have followed me for many years. In the entire 358th Regiment, you are the one I trust the most!"

"I believe that you will not let me, Chu Yunfei, down!"

The officers below.

I just watched the two people on the stage whispering to each other like brothers.

The company commanders of the First Battalion were also whispering in the audience.

"Our battalion commander is still very much loved by our Chu regiment commander."

"That's for sure. The battalion commander has been following the regiment commander since the Central Plains War. They have walked on the edge of a knife and rolled in a pile of dead bodies. They are brothers who have risked their lives for each other."

"This is closer than brothers!"

"That's right. If there wasn't a regimental commander, how could our First Battalion be where it is today?"

The company commander, Bian Fucheng, frowned and reminded: "Alright, alright, stop talking!"

On the stage, the two were very close and looked at the camera with smiles on their faces.

Afterwards, Fang Ligong gave a brief speech and announced the end of the awarding ceremony.

Chu Yunfei walked towards General Liu and others.

General Liu Fei did not exchange pleasantries with him at this time, and immediately stated that he would return to Nanjing to report the next day.

Chu Yunfei was "horrified" and immediately asked if he had been neglected.

Liu Fei smiled and shook his head, explaining that the situation in Songhu was critical.

If someone wants to leave, Chu Yunfei will naturally not force him to stay.

The two of them were not of the same kind. Instead, they arranged for Sun Ming to take a few goldfish away for Yang Congyun.

He also prepared a special gift for his old classmate Qian Zhaoyou.

"Brother Yunfei, what is this?"

"This sword was captured during the Battle of Ruyuekou. The original owner of this sword should be a Japanese captain named Kuriyama Tetsuji. He engraved it on the sword. After we parted in Xingxian, we don't know when we will meet again!"

Qian Zhaoyou looked sad.

Chu Yunfei was very envious of being able to lead the army into battle: "I wish I could go into battle and kill the enemy."

Seeing Qian Zhaoyou’s sincere face.

Chu Yunfei asked tentatively: "Brother Wuguan, if you have the opportunity, would you be willing to serve in my army?"

"Brother Yunfei?"

Qian Zhaoyou raised his eyebrows, looking happy.

After being happy, he sighed: "But I am only a major staff officer now, and I have no experience in leading troops."

“Our Jinsui Army is small and may not have enough space for you, but if Brother Wuguan doesn’t mind, I am willing to help Brother Wuguan make arrangements and go to my 358th Regiment to serve as a combat staff officer.

Our regiment is a combat unit directly under the Second War Zone, so we naturally have no shortage of frontline combat opportunities."

Qian Zhaoyou was very excited, but soon he became hesitant.

Jinsui Army. Chu Yunfei himself was from Wutai County, Shanxi.

He is a fellow villager of Yan Laoxi.

There is a very famous rhyme among the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

If you can speak Wutai dialect, you can carry a foreign knife.

As he came from the Whampoa Military Academy, it was naturally unlikely that he would be given a high position.

But following Chu Yunfei is better than being a small staff officer in Nanjing, right?

Qian Zhaoyou thought of this and no longer hesitated: "Then please worry about it, Brother Yunfei. I will never let Brother Yunfei down."

"Then please wait patiently, Brother Wuguan. After a period of time, you will naturally receive the transfer order."

"By the way, Brother Yunfei, maybe Commander Liu wants to see you in private?"

"No, is there something wrong?"

Qian Zhaoyou hesitated for a moment, but still said, "On this trip, Commander Liu, Mr. Yang and others not only brought medals, but also a new uniform for you. Logically, you should be awarded a new rank today, but I don't know why they didn't mention it."

Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was not good.

It turned out that the group really had received some news.

But why didn't General Liu Fei take the initiative to bring it up?
