War is brutal.
The warriors guarding the territory rushed into the battlefield without hesitation.
Looking at those comrades-in-arms who get along day and night, fleeting on the battlefield, how can people not be heartbroken?
What is even more unacceptable is that when looking at the empty canteen that should have filled 102 people, the 27 people who survived could only sit there in a daze.
When the war is over, everything is calm.
No matter how tragic the war is, no matter whether the war is won or lost.
As an integral part of war, it is inevitable to reward merits and deeds.
No matter how the living think that the merits should be given to the sacrificial comrades, their efforts and merits in the war should also be affirmed and rewarded.
The Ninth Company that returned from the "Battle of the Two Mountains" almost lost its formation, and only 27 soldiers returned from the whole company.
Because of this, Gu Yiye and Sorghum, who performed prominently in the battle, won the titles of "Combat Hero" and "First Class Meritorious Service" respectively.
On the other side, the communication company, Jiang Nanzheng, who was familiar with Gu Yiye and Sorghum, also won the commendation of "second-class merit".
From the perspective of real history, the war in which Gu Yiye, Sorghum and Jiangnan Zheng participated was not the same war as the war in which Sorghum's brother Gao Shan died.
The war that Takayama participated in took place 5 years ago and lasted very short, ending in just about a month.
The "Battle of Two Mountains" was fought for almost 6 years, which can be said to be protracted.
The title of "Combat Hero" won by Gu Yiye is very different from the "first and second class merits" won by Sorghum and Jiangnan Zheng.
First of all, the combat hero is an honor awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions to the military in combat.
Moreover, the combat heroes are also divided into levels like the "first and second class skills".
They are the title of "First-Class Combat Hero" awarded by the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense, and the title of "Second-Class Combat Hero" awarded by the Military Region or Headquarters.
Take, for example, the "Battle of Langshan", in which Sorghum's brother participated.
Although it lasted only a short month, our army lost a total of 6,954 soldiers and more than 14,800 wounded.
In the end, after the end of the "Battle of Langshan", the Central Military Commission awarded 79 cadres or soldiers honorary titles.
The "Battle of Two Mountains" in which Gu Yiye and Sorghum participated should be the battle before the first round of war in terms of time.
The battle lasted about 10 months, and our army lost a total of 766 soldiers.
In this campaign that lasted for 6 years, from the data, no one was awarded the title of combat hero, only 5 companies were awarded the title of hero company.
Compared with Gu Yiye's title of combat hero, the scope of the "first and second class merits" awarded by Sorghum and Jiangnan Zheng is relatively wide.
Not only soldiers with outstanding performance in war can receive this title, but also soldiers who have made significant contributions and merits in daily life and training.
For ordinary conscript soldiers, second-class merits like the Jiangnan Expedition can be directly approved and issued by brigade or division-level units.
As a conscript sorghum, his first-class merit needs to be approved by a unit at the level of the group army.
There are some hard and fast standards for the awarding and evaluation of the titles of combat hero, first-class merit, and second-class merit.
Judging from the current evaluation standards, no matter which title, it needs to meet the requirements of the following points.
The first is to show a heroic and tenacious spirit in battle, and to be able to resolutely carry out orders and abide by battlefield discipline.
The second is to have outstanding achievements in combat tasks, or to take the initiative to cover or rescue comrades-in-arms.
After these conditions are met, the title given is determined according to whether the individual's merit is remarkable or outstanding, and whether there is a performance of important or significant contribution.
Taking Gu Yiye as an example, he not only successfully brought the nine companies out of the enemy's encirclement, but also brought the comrades of other companies out of the encirclement with the wounded soldiers.
Sorghum, on the other hand, successfully attracted the enemy's firepower and attention with the strength of one person, allowing the comrades to successfully break through.
As for The Southern Expedition, she successfully eavesdropped on the enemy's communication lines, providing important intelligence for reversing the situation on the battlefield.
Although Gu Yiye, Sorghum, and Jiangnan Zheng were three, they won honorary titles because of their outstanding performances in the war.
But it does not mean that only they are heroes on the battlefield, nor does it mean that only they are heroes of battle.
The unknown warriors who fell into the fire, each of them worthy of the title of "hero of battle".
No matter how much merit there is, whether it is outstanding or not, whether it is a sacrificed or surviving warrior.
Each of them should be remembered by us!
Whether or not they have been given the title of "Hero of Battle", whether or not they have been awarded the title of "First and Second Class Merit".
They are all heroes of the republic, and they are all dedicating their youth and blood to the battle to defend their homeland!
