Chapter 251 Go to the front line to award merit

The letters from Wei Hanchao were not one or two, but each letter had the intention of persuading them.

Faced with the fact that the vanguard army had annihilated the 108th and 109th Divisions and had not made a name for themselves, Wei Hanchao has been inciting Meng Xiang to stand up.

"China needs heroes! The vanguard army needs heroes! The general needs higher reputation!" Wei Hanchao had already mentioned it directly this time, which made Meng Xiang think of some god-making movements. Not to mention the distance, Lao Xi of the contemporary era had successfully reached the top. Lao Chiang's reputation also reached the peak, and none of the warlords could match it.

"Reputation!" Meng Xiang smiled and shook her head. No matter when the most important thing is strength, reputation is just a driving force for leveraging the momentum.

However, Wei Hanchao's proposal to inspect the front line to enhance his reputation made Meng Xiang very moved. His front line inspection in the Jinan Battle gave him a lot of hard-core supporters. What the soldiers needed was not a commander who was above, but he was a little too far from the soldiers below. The recent fluctuations of some trends made him unable to help but patrol the army again and stabilize the morale of the army. The most important thing is that the successive victory on the front line made the blood in his heart boil. He longed to go to the front line to listen to the roar of guns and breathe the smell of the bloody rust air mixed with iron.

The long-term base trap made him feel that he was just a high-level prisoner.

"Make a batch of medals, I will go to the front line to award medals to the soldiers!" Meng Xiang told Shi Er.

The Pioneer Army has just passed the medal system, and it is not enough to rely solely on the award of the Central Army. Soldiers need not only salary, but also honors.

In order not to arouse others' discussion, the medal was just a simple design and was issued internally by the Pioneer Army. On one side is the three-legged treasure tripod surrounded by the Great Wall, and on the other side is the five stars.

Every soldier who participated in the war will receive a commemorative medal, which is round, bronze, and is larger than the big copper. Each medal has a number.

Those who have outstanding military achievements will receive silver medals with the same pattern, and each medal has the name of the winner engraved on the treasure tripod.

The higher honor is a gold medal, the same pattern, each medal is engraved with the winner's name and the simple heroic deeds engraved with micro-carved sculptures, each of which is specially made. In a battle, the winner of this gold medal will not exceed single digits.

In addition, there is a black and red five-pointed star iron-blooded medal, which is currently the highest-level medal and will not be awarded by non-special contributors.

Originally, Fan Zhong also proposed that medals should be divided into grades according to star ratings, but was rejected by Meng Xiang. Now is not the time. What we need to do now is to award medals to make every soldier inspire honor. The division of star ratings is quite controversial and too cumbersome. You can inspire the honor of officers and soldiers through military rank promotion and other means.

"General, don't move lightly at this time!" Hearing that Meng Xiang was going to the front line, Tang Pharmacist first advised.

"There is no important war in the north and east! With the defense of the 18th Division and the 50th Division, it is safe and sound. Only the war crisis near Linyi and Zaozhuang is in danger. My commander, who does not come to the battlefield and experiences the war with the soldiers, can you convince the public?" Meng Xiang choked back with one sentence to Tang Pharmacist.

"It was that boy Wei who wrote to advise the general? Da Yin was so famous that he had no name. The general should be guarded inwardly and be better in charge of the central army!" Tang Yaoshi still advised tactfully.

"My army is on the front line, and that is my central army tent! Haha!" Meng Xiang could no longer feel calm when he thought of going to the front line to accept the cheers of the soldiers.

"We are so sharp recently, so the general must be careful!" Tang Pharmacist finally persuaded him.

"Don't worry, I'll just go and award the soldiers a medal. I'll come back after the medal!" Meng Xiang also felt his concern and couldn't help but smile.

Unexpectedly, it was not only Tang Pharmacist who came to persuade him, but even Zhou Bai also came to persuade him. Although Meng Xiang delegated power based on many things on the ground, some of them were not something Zhou Bai could decide alone, and Meng Xiang needed to nod in the end.

"The telegram and phone are all open, just contact us at any time." Meng Xiang said. He is only 25 years old, and his youthful genitals have not yet subsided. When the passionate blood is rushing, the unique *** for young people cannot be easily touched by others.

Zhou Bai looked at Tang Yaoshi and shook his head slightly. Meng Xiang saw it. He knew what they were worried about, whether in the base area or in the army, there were undercurrents. The complex relationship made him feel very difficult. At this time, he needed to stand up and go among the soldiers, and use this victory to establish his own image.

Under the persuasion of Tang Yaoshi, Meng Xiang did not take a plane, but took an armored train and went south to Zaozhuang first. It was a brilliant place for the vanguard army to annihilate the enemy division.

Passing Zoucheng on the way, Meng Xiang visited Zhang Lingfu's regiment while resting. This time they had outstanding achievements and Meng Xiang also had an excuse. While awarding Zhang Lingfu the gold medal, Meng Xiang personally officially granted him the position of 122nd Brigade Commander.

When they arrived in Zaozhuang, Niu Er and Xie Chengrui came over and kept reporting on the situation in recent days.

Hu Minghe and the tank regiment had already reached Dangshan. They directly defeated the 10th Division back to Peixian without stopping for a long time. They chased the 16th Division with the 481st Division's 81st Division and rushed to Dangshan. The two regiments of the 81st Division were surrounding Peixian to prepare to deal with the 10th Division.

Now there are only two regiments of the 122nd Brigade in Zaozhuang, and they are about to wait for Zhang Lingfu, who has followed Meng Xiang all the way to accept it.

"Go to the front line of Dangshan!" Meng Xiang waved.

"No!" Tang Pharmacist did not follow, but Xie Chengrui advised first, "Commander, the front line is too dangerous!"

"The soldiers are as dangerous as the front line. I am also a soldier!" Meng Xiang stood up and said, dealing with cloned soldiers every day, he stood and walked unknowingly.

Xie Chengrui no longer spoke about this, and soldiers have their own way of being a soldier.

"General, I'll accompany you!" Zhang Lingfu, who was still in the rank of colonel, said, saying that he was still very grateful for the young general's promotion.

Meng Xiang nodded with a smile. He also needed more communication than this to win people's hearts.

"Go together!" He looked at Xie Chengrui and smiled.

"Commander Xiaobai, you are about to leave the base's direct jurisdiction, and your life will not be guaranteed. Please make a serious choice!" After Meng Xiangang made the choice, Xiaohua's prompt came with the wrist communicator she carried with her.

Meng Xiang hesitated for a moment, but then smiled and ignored him. The last time he arrived in Jinan, Xiaohua also warned that it was okay. He was surrounded by 36 elite cloning guards, all of whom were members of Longya. There was no problem in ensuring his own safety.

The train went straight to Xuzhou and stayed in Xuzhou for a day, and went to visit Li Zongren.

"Shaobai, your flight team has shown its power. It has sunk a Japanese aircraft carrier!" The rise of the vanguard army has attracted everyone's attention. This time, the incident of sinking the Japanese aircraft carrier has spread all over the country in just two days.

"What a pity, I almost kept the Kaga!" Li Zongren also felt regretful.

"The Kaga will not come for the time being!" Meng Xiang was very confident. The Kaga was hit by two bombs and finally couldn't move. He was dragged to Qingdao Port. However, Qingdao Port had just been looted, so they had to transport equipment from other places, slowly repair the leaks, and then drag it to other places for overhaul. Judging from its damage, it would definitely not move in less than half a year.

"It's so satisfying!" Li Zongren smiled, "Shaobai, even the Central Army is not as good as your flying team's level!"

Meng Xiang didn't follow suit, just smiled.

There are many words that can be said, and some cannot be said casually. Meng Xiang couldn't tell Li Zongren's meaning, so he had to wait for him to reveal his trump card.

The two of them exchanged greetings for a long time before Li Zongren's meaning was revealed.

Aircraft! The Guangxi system needs aircraft. The results of the Pioneer Air Force are heart-warming. The Guangxi system naturally has a way to solve the problems of pilots. It is just an airplane, not something you can buy by buying.

Of course, this is no problem. The Pioneer Army is facing a round of equipment at this time. The BF-109b aircraft will be gradually eliminated in the next step, and the buyer just needs to take over.

After Meng Xiang felt a little painful and expressed his willingness to transfer some planes at a low price, Li Zongren greeted him warmly with a smile.

Afterwards, the two discussed for a long time, from the war between China and the Japanese to the cooperation between the Guangxi clan and the vanguard army, they had a night of talks, both big and small.

When Meng Xiang set off the next day, he had already received information from Hu Minghe conquering Dangshan and approaching Yang Ji.

When he arrived in Dangshan, good news came from the front. Yang Ji had been broken and the troops entered Yucheng. The lightning offensive of the tank regiment made the 16th Division unable to withstand it. Then the Hu Minghe Brigade, who followed, transported Qichang Brigade and the 20th Corps army to follow.

The 16th Division attacked Shangqiu to the west and blocked the vanguard's approaching to the east, and was compressed into the section of Yucheng and Shangqiu.

"Let's go forward! Go ahead!" Following the Longhai Line, Meng Xiang kept rushing forward.

At noon on the 4th, I finally arrived in Yucheng.

At this time, the vanguard army was approaching the city and preparing to attack the city.

"Soldiers, thank you for your hard work!" Meng Xiang reviewed the soldiers who gathered together in a hurry in an open space outside Yucheng. Meng Xiang hated the style of notifying the preparations in advance, no matter how big or small things came. This time, Hu Minghe was a little panicked.

"Defend the country! Defeat the little ***!" the soldiers shouted.

The shouts shook the sky, causing the exposed heads of the Japanese on the distant city tower to shrink back.

The momentum of thousands of people shouting in unison made Meng Xiang's blood boil and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
