Preface
In the public's impression, a person who can get a first-class meritorious service medal can either have died on the battlefield or have been disabled, in short, he has made great contributions to the country, and he can only get the first-class meritorious service medal.
But there is a special soldier, he has won the honor of first-class merit more than once, and has won many rankings for the country in the international arena, and he is also called the "king of soldiers" by his comrades.
So who is he, and how did he get the first-class honor?
From literary soldiers to special forces
This special soldier who has won first-class merit three times is named Chen Yuhao, because he likes to watch some military-themed TV series since he was a child, Chen Yuhao was determined to be a soldier who won glory for the country when he was a child.
In 2005, Chen Yuhao signed up for the army, and after training in the new barracks, because of his relatively thin stature, Chen Yuhao was assigned to the literary detachment and became a literary soldier.
This made Chen Yuhao, a hot-blooded young man who grew up watching military TV series and was determined to carry a gun to the battlefield, was a little unacceptable.
At that time, the "Snow Leopard Commando", which had just been established, was training in the training ground next to the literary and artistic soldiers, and the sound of gunfire during their training and the loud military songs made Chen Yuhao's heart itch.
For Chen Yuhao, the life he has dreamed of since he was a child is in front of him, but he can only hold the saxophone, which makes him very unwilling, so when he learned that the "Snow Leopard Commando" began to select people, Chen Yuhao resolutely chose to sign up.
As an elite unit of anti-terrorism on the mainland, the "Snow Leopard Commando" has very strict selection criteria, and only after meeting the basic conditions can it be qualified to participate in the audition, and after the audition, the members will form a reserve team and begin a one-year training.
During this year's training time, a strict elimination system will be adopted, and any assessment score at the bottom will be eliminated directly, so the elimination rate is as high as 50% in the reserve team.
Even after the selection of the reserve team, there is a three-month probationary period, during which unqualified members will be eliminated directly.
In the face of such strict requirements, Chen Yuhao suffered a lot at the beginning.
Because of his thin stature and poor physical fitness, Chen Yuhao was often on the verge of being eliminated at the beginning of reserve training, and sometimes even directly eliminated personnel.
In order to stay, Chen Yuhao went to the "relationship" to say good things, pleaded with the squad leader, and let him stay.
The same group of people who entered the reserve team as Chen Yuhao eliminated a lot, and in this place where you need to rely on results to speak, Chen Yuhao can only remain silent.
In order to quickly improve his physical fitness level, Chen Yuhao worked hard, and he ran 15 kilometers when he had to run five kilometers in normal training;
It was a scorching heat during training, and the sandbags tied were almost impermeable, so Chen Yuhao's legs were often covered with red rashes.
When a day's training reaches the limit of the body, there will be problems in the body, and vomiting while running is a scene that often occurs when Chen Yuhao trains, but Chen Yuhao said that he doesn't want to be looked down upon, so he persevered in the difficulty.
In September 2006, Chen Yuhao stood in the middle of the "Snow Leopard Commando" team and became a glorious special soldier.
Win glory for the country
Before joining the army, Chen Yuhao never thought that he could stand on the international stage and compete with world-class masters.
In May 2014, a special award ceremony was held in one country, in which paratroopers parachuted the national flags of the countries that won the awards by parachuting.
Seeing the five-star red flag fluttering in the sky of a foreign country, Chen Yuhao and the participating team members shed tears of excitement, and led the team members to win the championship in the international arena, and Chen Yuhao also won a first-class honor.
Chen Yuhao thought that this would be the "highlight moment" of his life, but in fact, going abroad to compete was the most frequent word in his military life.
In 2015, he went to Sri Lanka to participate in the Sino-Sri Lanka joint training, and in 2016, he went to Russia to participate in the Sino-Russian joint training.
In 2018, the 32-year-old Chen Yuhao participated in the "Warrior Competition", which is known as the top event of special forces, for the third time, and he was the oldest of all the participants.
In a 15-kilogram shooting event, Chen Yuhao's physical strength was overdrawn to the limit, but watching the foreign players surpass him one by one, Chen Yuhao was unwilling to fall behind.
He slapped himself twice, wrapped ice water around his head to make himself sober up, and then Chen Yuhao gritted his teeth and began to accelerate, and when he crossed the finish line strongly, Chen Yuhao fell to the ground with no physical strength.
In the end, Chen Yuhao led the team members to win the first place in the project with an absolute advantage, and the team won the second place.
This excellent result also allowed Chen Yuhao to win the first-class merit medal for the third time.
Battlefield Horror
Chen Yuhao, as the captain of the Snow Leopard Commando training team, attaches great importance to actual combat, and if the team members make mistakes in their actual combat awareness during training, Chen Yuhao will be furious.
The reason why Chen Yuhao attaches so much importance to actual combat is because he has really been on the battlefield and felt the cruelty of the battlefield.
In 2007, Chen Yuhao, who had not long joined the team, hid from his family and took the initiative to ask the leader to go to Afghanistan to participate in the embassy security mission.
Terrorists in Afghanistan are so arrogant that they will even inform them in advance that they are going to attack an embassy, and even if the embassy is prepared, they will carry out the attack.
When Chen Yuhao was in Afghanistan, he was in charge of an escort mission, which was a very dangerous mission, because there were many checkpoints set up in the area, not only official checkpoints, but also terrorists.
In order to ensure the safety of the negotiators, all the escort team members blocked the negotiators with their bodies, and their fingers were always on the trigger.
The security mission in Afghanistan lasted for a total of 15 months, and Chen Yuhao and his teammates successfully completed the task.
This is also the first time that Chen Yuhao has won a first-class merit, and it is precisely because of the tension and cruelty of the battlefield that Chen Yuhao has always emphasized the importance of "actual combat" in training.
What is the treatment of first-class merit?
A soldier like Chen Yuhao, who has won first-class merit three times, some people will be curious about what treatment he will be treated if he chooses to retire?
The mainland still attaches great importance to this aspect, first of all, the issue of retirement pensions, and soldiers like Chen Yuhao, who have won first-class merit many times, will directly increase their retirement pensions according to their share of 15 percent to ensure that they will also receive economic security after retirement.
If he decides to change jobs or reinstate, the local person in charge will give priority to his job placement.
In addition, his children who want to be soldiers will also have a corresponding bonus policy.
epilogue
Because of his hard work and outstanding achievements, Chen Yuhao was called the "King of Soldiers" by everyone, and he became a model of the mainland's special forces with his outstanding military quality and heroic and fearless spirit.
It is precisely because thousands of soldiers like Chen Yuhao are escorting us that we can run freely in a peaceful land and realize our ideals.
