Chapter 149 Medal Awarding Ceremony

What did Gao Yuan learn? In fact, he just learned how to walk forward, how to salute, and what to say when he received the medal.

Actually, there is no need to say anything at all.

Because this is not a film festival award, you have to give an acceptance speech after winning the award.

When a soldier is awarded a medal, he goes up to him and salutes him, saying at most two or three sentences and the whole thing is done.

There is nothing fancy in the army. Honor itself is the most important, and all other nonsense is useless.

"Comrades and compatriots, today I want to announce the sad news that our two shelters in Shimen were all killed in the attack by aliens. Today, with a heavy heart, we have a temporary shelter in Shimen.

The victims in the second temporary shelter expressed their deep condolences and expressed their deep condolences to the fallen soldiers.

I declare a three-minute silence for the fallen soldiers and civilians."

After finishing speaking, Li Wen stood aside and left the position facing the microphone, bowing his head in silence.

Everyone bowed their heads in silence.

In Base 12, no matter what they were doing, the people listening to the radio put down their work at this moment, stood up straight, and bowed their heads in silence.

A young mother held her child in her arms. When she bowed her head in silence, her tears kept falling until she could no longer bear it, her body staggered, and she sat limply on the ground.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Mom..."

The young mother hugged her child and cried bitterly: "It's gone, it's gone, only the two of us are left..."

The young child burst into tears, and next to him, another young child pulled his mother's hand and whispered: "What's gone, mom, what's gone?"

Wiping her tears, the mother of another child whispered: "Our home is gone, my child, Shimen is gone..."

It was said to be a moment of silence, but she couldn't help crying, and then she covered her face and burst into tears.

There were too many Shimen people in Vault 12, so there was a lot of crying soon.

Li Wen's voice continued to echo on the radio.

"Our sacrifice was great, but through the Battle of Shimen, we found the weaknesses of the aliens. The aliens are not invincible. Our counterattack caused a certain degree of damage to the aliens. Comrades and compatriots, this

This is the first face-to-face contest between us and aliens. Although all our commanders and fighters have sacrificed, we know that the aliens are not invincible. If we persist, we will win. We will definitely defeat the alien invaders and take us back.

's home."

Without a long speech, Li Wen quickly said: "Our Shimen Shelter commanders and fighters have made a great sacrifice. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten. Their fighting will will be inherited and carried forward by us."

"I declare that the second garrison unit of Shimen Temporary Shelter has been awarded first-class collective merit!"

"I declare that the garrison unit of Shimen Temporary Shelter has been awarded first-class collective merit!"

The 33258th Brigade led by Wang Hu is part of the Shimen No. 2 garrison, but not all of it. Now it is the collective first-class meritorious service of the entire garrison, so the name of the 33258th Brigade will not be mentioned.

But Gao Yuan is not in a hurry, he is waiting.

"I announce that Comrade Wang Hu, commander of the 33258 Brigade, will be awarded the title of special meritorious official, the special meritorious official medal, and the posthumous rank of major general. I invite the representative comrades of the 33258th Brigade to receive the medal on behalf of General Wang Hu."

After finishing speaking, Li Wen stood aside with a serious face.

Gao Yuan took a deep breath. Wearing a military uniform without epaulets and collar, he walked to the stage with goose steps, stood in front of Li Wen and saluted.

Li Wen picked up a medal from the box in the hand of an officer next to him, raised his hands, showed his love to everyone in the audience, then he put the medal back into the black velvet box, and finally took

He passed the box containing the medal and handed it to Gao Yuan with both hands.

Gao Yuan saluted again, turned around and saluted everyone in the audience, then he took the box, turned around, and held the box in both hands to face the hundreds of audience members in the audience.

"salute!"

Most of the people present were soldiers, and all the soldiers saluted Gaoyuan. Those who were not soldiers stood up and paid attention.

Of course, the salute was not given to Gao Yuan, but to the medal that Gao Yuan was holding, representing Wang Hu's medal.

Gao Yuan came off the stage holding the box and placed the box on the table in front of him.

"I announce that the 33258th Tiger Brigade will be awarded the title of heroic unit and the Tiger Brigade will be awarded the military flag! Representatives of the Tiger Brigade are invited to come to the stage to receive the flag!"

Gao Yuan's breathing became a little difficult with excitement.

One flag bearer and two flag bearers walked into the auditorium of Base 10 holding a military flag with the three characters "Tiger Brigade" written on it.

Everyone stood in silence, staring at the military flag.

Gao Yuan saluted the flag bearer and flag guard, then stretched out his hand and took the military flag.

This military flag has condensed the hard work and blood of too many people.

Gao Yuan looked at the military flag in his hand, then turned around and held the military flag forward to face the audience.

"salute!"

Once again, everyone salutes, this time to all the soldiers of the 33258th Brigade.

"I announce that the 33258th Brigade Dahong Third Company will be awarded first-class collective merit, and the representatives of the Dahong Third Company will be invited to come to the stage to receive the medal on their behalf."

Gao Yuan stepped forward again. He handed the military flag to the flag bearer who was waiting aside, because the military flag would continue to be displayed. Then he passed the honorary certificate of first-class collective merit on behalf of the big red three-wire team that had given up its illusions and welcomed death.

"salute!"

The generals all saluted again.

"I declare..."

"I declare..."

There were many groups who received medals today, and there were also many individuals who received medals. The audience never had a chance to sit down and saluted over and over again.

There are many military flags left on the stage, raised by flag bearers, but those are numbers that have been withdrawn forever, troops that have disappeared forever, and glory that has become history.

The flag of the Tiger Brigade was also on it, which made Gao Yuan very nervous. Although he got the promise, he was really afraid that the flag of the Tiger Brigade would be sent to the Honor Exhibition Room along with other military flags.

The awarding ceremony was broadcast live, but it was only a radio broadcast and not a live TV broadcast. It could be heard at the high command headquarters and all thirteen bases in the refuge.

But Xinghe didn't come because too many people came today.

But Gao Yuan came to the stage to receive medals and certificates of honor over and over again. Of course, he only received them on his behalf.

At the end, Li Wen paused for a moment, and then the live broadcast was immediately cut off. After Li Wen looked at the person in charge of the live broadcast and confirmed that the live broadcast had been interrupted, he loudly said: "I announce that Comrade Gao Yuan will be awarded first-class merit.

Please invite Comrade Gao Yuan to come on stage to receive the honor."

Many people don't understand, they don't know who Gao Yuan is.

Even Gao Yuan himself doesn't understand why he also has a medal? And it's a military medal?

Gao Yuan came to the stage in a daze, but at least he did not forget what he should do. After saluting Li Wen, he shook Li Wen's outstretched hand, and then Li Wen turned around and picked up a golden medal from the box.

"Today, you are the first and only one that I can wear a medal for you."

Li Wen was very emotional. He took the medal and pinned it to Gao Yuan's chest. Then he exhaled and said, "Thank you for your contribution to the country and the destiny of mankind, Comrade Gao Yuan."

Gao Yuan saluted, and then he turned around and saluted the people in the audience.

After everyone responded, the entire auditorium burst into applause for the first time.

When the applause gradually subsided, Li Wen said loudly: "I declare that this award ceremony is over."

The soldier holding a military flag and a medal that no one could receive turned around and started walking towards the audience, but the flag bearer holding the Tiger Brigade flag stayed where he was.

Gao Yuan almost took the military flag in his hand as if it were snatching it back, then he took a long breath and whispered in a voice that no one else could hear: "Brigade Commander Wang, Company Commander Zhou, our 33258th Brigade is still there, and

It has become the Tiger Brigade, don’t worry.”

Next, Li Wen had to give a speech, but Gao Yuan couldn't listen very much at this time. He felt peaceful, relieved, and happy inside.

But Gao Yuan quickly thought of a question, that is, who is he now?

A first-class hero became the only successor, or survivor, of the 33258th Brigade, but now he doesn't even have the status of a formal soldier. How can this be a big deal?

Gao Yuan did not expect to be a brigade commander. He knew that such a thing would not happen, but it didn't matter. Even if he was not a soldier of the 33258th brigade, it didn't matter, as long as the number was still there.

Gao Yuan would be happy if he could immediately mobilize a few hundred people to rebuild the 33258th Brigade. However, there has been no order or news in this regard until now.

So how to calculate it?

Gao Yuan fell into deep doubts.

Finally, the awarding ceremony ended and Li Wen's speech ended. After the attendees began to leave, Gao Yuan was called aside alone.

"Comrade Gao Yuan, please give me the battle flag. I will keep it for you temporarily. Now I invite you to have a small meeting."

Gao Yuan subconsciously put the military flag back instead of handing it to an officer in front of him.

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Yuan said: "The military flag won't be taken back, right?"

"No, I'm just keeping it temporarily for you. There is a special place for storage. The leader specifically told me to tell you that this military flag will not enter the honor exhibition room. Don't worry."

Gao Yuan finally handed over the military flag to others with confidence, and then he saw Xinghe again in a smaller conference room.

"I saw it just now, and you also received first-class merit. Congratulations to you."

Gao Yuan whispered: "You didn't specifically ask for this first-class merit to be given to me, right?"

"My request? No, not at all."

"Really not?"

"Not really. You deserve it. Why do I need to ask for it specifically?"

Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But it must have something to do with you, um, but I'm still very happy."
