The commander-in-chief suddenly remembered something and asked curiously:
"Oh, by the way, didn't the telegram mention that you seized 1,500 sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers from the American army?"
"1500 sets should be enough for the people in your 9th Regiment, right?"
"Why are you still wearing such thin clothes?"
He Yumo pointed at the clothes on his body and said:
"Report to the commander, the clothes we are wearing now are the ones we captured from the American army!"
The commander-in-chief asked curiously.
"Huh? That's it? Is this warm enough?"
He Yumo replied:
"Commander, you don't know, this is not an ordinary cotton coat or trousers!"
"Don't be fooled by its thin appearance, it's warmer than those thick cotton-padded jackets!"
The commander-in-chief became even more curious:
"Is this true? There's something so good?"
In their era, the thicker the clothes, the warmer they are!
"Yes! Commander, we didn't feel cold at all during this trip thanks to this suit!"
The commander-in-chief was shocked when he heard this!
But he soon frowned again.
Oh, I didn’t expect that the Americans’ weapons and equipment are so advanced, and even their supplies are so powerful!
Not only is it warm, but it is also so light that it does not affect marching or fighting at all!
But our soldiers can't even solve the most basic problem of food and clothing!
At this moment, Wu Qianli pushed He Yumo and whispered:
"Xiao He, don't you have something important to report?"
Secretary Liu noticed that they seemed to have something to say, so he said, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
He Yumo nodded.
"Reporting to the Chief, Secretary Liu, there is indeed an important matter that I need to report to you in private!"
"Oh? Okay! Then follow me to the command room!"
Therefore, the commander-in-chief arranged for the other members of the 7th Company to rest first, while He Yumo and Wu Qianli followed the commander-in-chief and Secretary Liu to the command room of the Volunteer Army.
Inside the command room.
After listening to He Yumo's report, the commander-in-chief's eyes suddenly lit up!
"You said you found a US military supply depot?"
"About 100 kilometers from here?"
He Yumo nodded solemnly!
"Report to the commander-in-chief! Yes!"
"Can you still find that place?"
The commander-in-chief asked.
"It should be possible! I have a strong sense of direction since I was a child! So I think it should be possible!"
"Great! If you can really help us find the American military's supply depot, that would be a great achievement!"
"Adding to all the previous ones, I will apply to my superiors to award you a special merit!"
Oh My God!
Special Merit?!
So what is the concept of this special merit?
We know that it is much more difficult to achieve merit during wartime than in peacetime.
Because in times of war, there are heroes everywhere, and the standards for evaluating military merits are naturally much higher than in times of peace!
If you want to stand out among so many heroes and be recorded in the book of merit, you often have to go through life and death, which is extremely difficult!
Although there is no unified standard for meritorious service for the entire army yet.
However, we can refer to and understand the meritorious service standards formulated after the third battle of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid C.
At that time, it was stipulated that the evaluation of the volunteer army's meritorious service was divided into two different systems: meritorious service and heroic model.
There are four levels of meritorious service, from low to high, namely "third class merit", "second class merit", "first class merit" and "special class merit".
There are three levels of heroes and models, from low to high: "Level 2", "Level 1" and "Special Level".
So what are the requirements to obtain different levels of meritorious service?
Among them, the ground forces, to obtain the third-class merit, need to destroy an enemy tank with anti-tank weapons;
The second-class merit requires destroying two enemy tanks with anti-tank weapons in a single battle.
If you are a pilot, then anyone who damages an enemy plane will be awarded a third-class merit.
Those who shot down one enemy plane or damaged two enemy planes were awarded second-class merit;
Those who shot down two enemy planes or damaged three were awarded first-class merit;
Shooting down three enemy planes will be awarded special merit.
So what are the conditions for becoming a hero and model?
Although meritorious officials and heroes and models are two different evaluation systems, in practice, it is much more difficult to obtain the title of hero and model than meritorious official, so its value is also higher!
Among them, the second-level heroes and models must have made three or more second-class merits or first-class merits or above;
A first-class hero or model must have achieved two or more first-class merits or special merits;
Finally, as the highest honor of the Volunteer Army, the special hero model is awarded based on the conditions that one has made one or more special merits and is representative and worthy of being a banner throughout the country and the entire army.
During the entire War to Resist US Aggression and Aid China, a total of 286 people were awarded the title of "Second-Class Hero".
Among these 286 people, the most famous ones include Yi Caixue, who single-handedly broke through four bunkers and killed more than 120 American soldiers during the Battle of Shangganling;
Zhang Taofang, a famous Chinese sniper and first-generation fighter pilot, was hailed as the "Volunteer Army Sharpshooter," "Cold Gun Hero," and "Sniper God of Shangganling." He killed 214 enemies with 436 rounds of ammunition in the Shangganling sniper battle, setting a record for the most cold gun kills by a Chinese volunteer on the battlefield.
There is also Li Han, the first person to shoot down a US plane;
With less than 100 hours of flight time, he shot down a US military pilot Fisher, Han Decai, who had more than 3,000 hours of flight time, more than 170 sorties on the CX battlefield and was known as the "double ace".
There are 51 people who have been awarded the first-class hero title, including Qiu Shaoyun, the well-known "Hero of Fire", and Hu Xiudao, who was hailed as the "lone hero" for single-handedly killing more than 280 enemies in the Battle of Shangganling.
Among them, the last special hero is the most difficult to obtain. From its evaluation conditions, it can be seen that a special hero must also have special merit, so it is also called "double special", which is also the highest honor of the Volunteer Army!
In the entire War to Resist US Aggression and Aid China, only two people received this honor!
They are the well-known Yang Gensi and Huang Jiguang!
This shows how difficult it is to obtain these honorary titles!
Many people even paid their precious lives for this!
And He Yumo is just a new recruit now!
Even Secretary Liu was shocked!
But when he thought about what He Yumo had done before, he was convinced!
Not only that, He Yumo now said that he had discovered a very large supply warehouse of the US military!
If he could really get these supplies from the US military, then He Yumo would have definitely done a great job!
