Chapter 54: The Return of the Marines (5)

The next morning, before dawn, Luo Yue woke up and rarely had the idea of ​​not wanting to get up. He and Zhou Weiying were both young and very loving. They had not seen each other for more than half a year, so they were naturally very eager for each other. Therefore, after coaxing Xiao Yuandong to sleep at night, they naturally couldn't help but feel excited, burning like dry fire, and they loved each other until they fell asleep when they were exhausted.

When Luo Yue woke up, the two were still physically entangled and could not bear it. Luo Yuehua had lost all her perseverance and finally broke free from the embrace of her wife and got up to dress.

However, although Luo Yue's movements were gentle, he still woke up the sleeping Zhou Weiying and wanted to get up and say, "I'll drive you to the military camp."

Luo Yue pressed her down on the bed again and said, "No need, you sleep for a while, I'll just take the bus by myself." As he said that, he kissed Zhou Weiying gently on the forehead, and then went to the baby room to see Xiao Yuandong. Yesterday, Xiao Yuandong was not very close to Luo Yue, which made Luo Yue very helpless. But when he woke up in the morning, Luo Yue looked at Erjie and then went downstairs.

At this time, Aunt Li had already gotten up and prepared breakfast for Luo Yue. After Luo Yue finished breakfast, she went to see the four children. Seeing that they were sleeping soundly, she did not disturb them and left the house and went to the military camp.

Today is the commendation of the Marine Corps, which was personally chaired by the Navy Department Shang Jinfeng. In fact, the first two groups of Marine Corps members who returned had already commended, and this is the last group. First, the rank upgrade was upgraded. Luo Yue was the first to accept the upgrade, and was promoted from major general to lieutenant general. Originally, Luo Yue was promoted to major general at the current age, and now he was promoted to lieutenant general. Whether this was in that era, it was a huge miracle.

However, since its establishment, East China ** has been constantly warring. It can be said that the wars carried out in just eight years are more than those experienced by American soldiers in the old time and space in their lifetimes. Although the United States in the old time and space also continued to war, most of the wars were civil wars, and no formal wars could be made. Not to mention that it was China in the old time and space. If the wars happened a lot, then the promotion of officers would naturally be faster. Just like this Far East War, Luo Yue made military achievements with the command of the Marine Corps, even if it was promoted two levels, it would not be an exaggeration.

Of course, Luo Yue was not the only one who was promoted this time. In addition to Luo Yue, more than 6,000 people were promoted. Bi Jin fought for a long time and the People's Army won the victory, so there were naturally many people promoted. Promotion was not just an increase in military rank, but also salary, welfare, and subsidies will also increase. It can be said that it is a gain of fame and fortune.

After the promotion, the next step is to commend the officers and soldiers who have made meritorious service. This has nothing to do with their position or income, but it is a very high honor, because during various celebrations and activities, soldiers can hang these medals on their clothes to show their victory. The treatment of soldiers in East China ** is quite generous, exceeding the average level of society, travel tasks, and participating in battles. There will be additional subsidies when they are discharged. The soldiers who sacrificed on the battlefield can also receive generous pensions and their families will receive good care. Therefore, the reward for military merit is not mainly based on materials and money, but focuses on honor, and it is necessary to form a habit and atmosphere of respecting soldiers and being a military officer in society, so that soldiers can become a noble and glorious profession; of course, the army also needs to maintain a good and friendly style and strict military discipline. In both sides, East China ** has done a good job so far.

First of all, each warrior can receive a medal of victory in the Far East War to remember that they participated in this battle and contributed to the victory of this battle.

Then the groups that made great military achievements were commended, with a total of 2nd regiments, 5 battalions, and 12 companies receiving the awards from the groups, including 3 first-class merits for the group, 7 second-class merits for the group, 9 third-class merits for the group, and 8 honorary titles. Both the group merits and honorary titles received a prize flag, which can be hung in the honor rooms of each army camp. In the future, the honorary titles obtained can be indicated on the military flag of the team.

Finally, he received the awards for individuals. Of course, it was also from Luo Yue that he won a total of 3 medals, namely the Special Outstanding Contribution Medal for the Far East War. This is a medal specially established for this war. It is divided into six types: Special Outstanding Contribution, Outstanding Contribution, Contribution, First-level Combat Hero, Second-level Combat Hero, and Third-level Combat Hero. The first three are awarded to officers at the school level or above, and the last three are awarded to officers at the school level or below, as well as non-commissioned officers and soldiers; the Senate Medal is a medal specially established for veterans who have made military achievements; the Nine Six Medal is currently the highest honor medal in East China. 96 refers to September 6, which is the day when time travelers come to this era, so this medal is specially established to express their memory.

Of course, in addition to Luo Yue, more than 3,600 people have won various medals, and this time, more than 4,000 medals were issued, because many people have won two medals. Overall, there are fewer people who receive the medal than those who advance. This is because to win medals and medals, you must have outstanding performance on the battlefield. Generally, only combat troops have more opportunities, while fire support troops such as artillery and machine gunners have much less opportunities. Promotion is not only based on military achievements, but also the accumulation of capital and strength is also very important. Since it is promoted at a relatively low military rank, it is basically as long as it reaches a certain number of years and there is no problem, you can get promoted.

The entire commendation lasted a whole morning. At noon, the kitchen was filled with meals, so that every soldier had a good meal. In the afternoon, it was first mourning for the fallen soldiers, and a group of soldiers were discharged from the army. A farewell ceremony was held for them, and finally the soldiers' leave. Because the war was over, the soldiers who participated in the war would receive a long period of leave, reunite with their families, or solve their personal lifelong affairs.

Fortunately, the Marine Corps retreated from Japan in three batches, and most of the soldiers who took vacations returned in the first two batches. Therefore, this group of soldiers would not cause an empty camp. However, Luo Yue still decided to divide the soldiers into three batches and take vacations one week apart, which ensures that the soldiers can return in sequence in a short period of time.

But in this way, those soldiers take leave first, and those soldiers take leave later. In addition, if some soldiers prove that they have something to do at home, they can also apply and give priority to obtain the right to take leave first, and even extend the time of leave. However, all this requires Luo Yue, who is the commander of the entire army, to decide, and have a leave slip and signature. Therefore, he worked until after 5 pm, and signed all the leave slips of the first batch of soldiers on leave, and then handed them to his adjutant and distributed them to various troops. Luo Yue returned home after get off work.

At home, after a day of getting along, the children's sense of disgust towards Luo Yue was reduced a lot, and they didn't seem so rude when calling her father. Xiao Yuandong did not resist Luo Yue's relatives. After dinner, Luo Yue played with the children for a while, and teased Xiao Yuandong for a while, then returned to his study and continued to write a report. He also felt that it would be better to be at home.

The next day, Luo Yue got up early in the morning and first went to the military camp to report, and then went to the Military Commission for a meeting. The participants included Xiao Jianjun, Shang Jinfeng and several staff officers from the Military Commission’s General Staff Headquarters. Of course, today’s lecture was Luo Yue, and everyone should determine the positioning of the Marine Corps based on his report.

Luo Yue first summarized the combat experience of the Marine Corps this time. In this war, the Marine Corps participated in many battles and, as the main business of the Marine Corps, conducted three times, namely the Lushun Landing War, Vladivostok Landing War, and the Peninsula Landing War. These operations were all completed by the Marine Corps alone.

In addition to landing wars, the Marine Corps also participated in many land wars, with two main battles, the Battle of Muling River and the Japanese Land War. However, these battles were not completed by the Marine Corps alone, but were completed in concert with the Army.

Luo Yue's summary is that unlike the Marine Corps in the old time and space, the current Marine Corps does not have the ability to go deep into the land independently, and the main reason is insufficient firepower. Due to the special nature of the Marine Corps, the support of firepower is mainly based on mortars. The entire army has a 75mm field artillery regiment and is equipped with 56 75mm field artillery.

Although mortars are easy to be flexible, easy to operate, have good fire rate, and can fight with the synchronous infantry, they are indeed the best choice for the Marine Corps, but compared with conventional artillery, their power is still much worse. Even if they are 100mm caliber mortars, their power is slightly inferior to 75mm field guns. Therefore, mortars can only serve as the auxiliary firepower of the Marine Corps. The real support of firepower depends on the naval guns of warships, which determines that the Marine Corps' combat range can only be covered by the artillery.

In the old time and space, fire support was not based on artillery, but on the slaughter. Whether it was the ground-to-ground equipment on warships or the slaughter carried by various carrier-based helicopters and attack aircraft, the strike range could penetrate hundreds of kilometers inland. Therefore, the Marine Corps in the old time and space could naturally go deep into hundreds of kilometers inland to fight independently, at least in theory.
