Chapter 567 The Medal of Honor Is Really Stunning 5/8
As Hu Biao and the others expected, their achievements were too brilliant.
Although it is unbelievable for a while, such a misunderstanding will not last too long.
They don't even have to wait until the heavy rain stops completely, let the air force reconnaissance planes take off and fly to the battlefield where they have fought to prove their achievements.
Soon after, the truth of everything came out.
On June 20, the whole night of that day.
The soldiers of the 179th Regiment faced the legendary powerful German stick armored division and waited for the whole night with fear; it was said that all the members were ready for battle, and no one had ever closed their eyes.
The problem is that when it was bright, they found themselves waiting in vain.
And I waited until 10 o'clock the next morning, and I didn't wait for the one that was supposed to appear according to speed.
Suddenly, the officers of the 179th Regiment knew that something was wrong...
But at this time, they still couldn't believe that the Chinese small army could actually achieve the brilliant results in the statement reported by the consul.
Fortunately, these people did not continue to wait stupidly.
Finally, a platoon of soldiers formed a reconnaissance team and drove several armored vehicles to reconnaise along the way Hu Biao and others returned.
It should be noted that the leader of this reconnaissance squad was the lieutenant of the military police who took people to arrest Hu Biao and others: William.
Faced with the other people's resistance to this dangerous task, Lieutenant William volunteered.
The reason was very simple. When he went back, he was shocked when he thought that he was actually impressed by the impression that he was usually a laundryman, a small restaurant owner, and a cobbler.
This arrogant white man felt a huge humiliation in his heart.
So he decided to set out in person. After exposing the lies from the Chinese, he sent these cowards and liars into the cell with his own hands.
Unfortunately, Lieutenant William was disappointed.
Because they were very worried about the road, they finally arrived at the place. They were surprised to find that the remaining troops of the 17th Armored Division of the SS Guard had already retreated.
Although the person retreated, the remaining things illustrate many problems.
Among the traces after the fierce battle, such as the numerous huge craters on the ground and the abandoned equipment wreckage, all of which show how fierce a battle had happened here not long ago.
And in their minds, how much damage has the powerful opponent, the 17th Armored Division of the Guards, suffered.
Damn! In other words, everything in the mouths of those Chinese people is actually true.
At this moment, Lieutenant William's mood was extremely complicated; on the one hand, he knew that the 179th Regiment would not have to bear huge combat losses.
On the other hand, how should they face the Chinese who were arrested by them after they went back?
"F**K, why don't these damn Chinese stay in Chinatown and open their fast restaurants and laundry to join the glorious soldier?"
Finally, Lieutenant William, who was full of prejudice, whispered in this low voice...
When he saw a large soldier colonel, with a more officer and a kind expression, he walked into the basement where he was imprisoned and others.
Hu Biao and others knew one thing: the matter has passed.
This ridiculous misunderstanding should have been completely eliminated in the face of iron evidence.
Sure enough, Hu Biao's guess was correct.
After the colonel came over, he immediately gave Don Collier and Hu Biao a cordial hug, and said in an extremely regretful tone:
"Good morning, gentlemen, I am Colonel Riley, the leader of the 179th Regiment.
I am very sorry, the two lieutenants and all Chinese warriors are a huge dereliction of duty in our work, which has caused you to suffer unfair treatment.
Here, first of all, I am allowed to express my apology on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the 179th Regiment.
Of course, there are still relevant responsible persons who need to say sorry to you in person.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and immediately the officers following him separated, causing Lieutenant William, who had a huge shame or anger, to look like a pig's liver, to come up.
After this guy came up, he muttered for a long time and finally said:
"Lt. Hu, Lieutenant Don Collier, and everyone, I'm sorry~"
At this moment, many people from the Zhongzhou team, including Hu Biao, were able to notice a detail with their keen observation:
There was a hint of hatred in Lieutenant William's eyes.
Obviously, this is a slim guy. I guess because of the fact that he was blamed by his superiors this time, he actually held a grudge against the Zhongzhou team.
Maybe even thinking about how to wear small shoes for the Zhongzhou team.
The problem is that Hu Biao and others didn't take this kind of thing seriously at all, and they were too lazy to think about it even if they found an opportunity to hit him.
The reason is simple: after the misunderstanding is resolved, they can return to the First Infantry Division.
At that time, what awaits them is promotion, commendation, trim and other good things, and walk on their spacious, flat, super luxury version of the Sunshine Avenue.
I am afraid there is no intersection with this Lieutenant William who is walking on the shabby single-plank bridge for the rest of his life.
So, if you don’t step on good shoes, why should you deal with this thing?
Based on this idea, Hu Biao expressed his magnanimity to Colonel Riley:
Everything is a trivial matter, to fight against evil moral sticks and to uphold justice for all mankind. They can understand this approach.
Seeing Hu Biao and others getting ahead of the road, the officers of the 179th Regiment, except for Lieutenant William, all the others became more fond of the Zhongzhou team.
For a moment, both sides were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Finally, with the farewell of these people, Hu Biao and others got on several armored vehicles and began to return to their 162nd Regiment's base.
When they returned to the 162nd Regiment headquarters, Hu Biao and the others were finally treated as they should.
All the personnel from the regiment headquarters warmly welcomed everyone from the Zhongzhou team; after looking at the white men's eyes, they were full of sincere eyes full of convincing oral.
In the hearts of AT and others, there was such indescribable pleasure, as if even the injuries on their bodies were healed a lot.
What's even better is that at the welcoming ceremony, Colonel Alan, the commander of the 162nd Regiment, read out a promotion order: to promote Lieutenant Hu Biao, immediately promoted to the rank of lieutenant, and served as the company commander of Company D, responsible for all the work of the entire company.
The other Chinese soldiers also had different promotions.
After announcing the promotion order, Colonel Allen also kindly explained:
The above promotion order is only the rewards received by Hu Biao and other Chinese ranks as landing battles in Omaha Beach and subsequent armed reconnaissance.
When the command headquarters determines the 17th Armored Division of the SS Guard based on more detailed information, there will be more rewards after the losses in this battle.
It is even possible that as the military chief, Hu Biao can receive the legendary "Medal of Honor".
Other Chinese soldiers can also receive secondary medals.
When talking about the 'Medal of Honor', this Colonel Allen looked envious in his eyes.
Hu Biao can understand this point, because he knew that this thing was equivalent to a medal of heroes of the Maoist family, and belonged to the highest level of honor in Uncle Sam's family.
It is said that during World War II, Uncle Sam's family issued only 464 pieces, which is very rare.
In addition to the huge honor it represents, this thing is also quite affordable.
For example: when the cabin is free, you can take military aircraft for free; as long as the direct descendants meet the regulations, they can enter all military academies of Uncle Sam's house without being restricted.
Also, after retirement, you can apply for a lifelong pension of US$200 per month.
Of course, these stupid things are just the same for Hu Biao, and they are limited to the fact that there will be an extra gadget to show off in the future.
The key point that really attracted him was that Hu Biao took the time to face the lower position and applauded the veteran D Company, Sergeant Jack, who was trying hard to do so.
After opening his mouth, he asked in confusion:
"Hey, man! Why did I hear that once before, the regiment headquarters asked me to be the company commander of the E Company, but now why has it become the D Company again?
Lieutenant Dyke has been transferred to another department?”
Under this question, Sergeant Jack said in an extremely regretful tone and a dull expression holding his booze: "What a pity! Lieutenant Dyke was unfortunately killed on the day you set off a few days ago."
"Oh! It's a pity that Lieutenant Dyke is a good person."
Hu Biao said something without any sincerity.
Then, something even more surprised happened, because Jack was facing his new immediate boss and took out a pack of sand cigarettes from his pocket.
He said warmly:
"Sir Hu, this is something I found from the Lieutenant Dyke who just fell to death; didn't you say it was very rare, but I didn't smoke a single one~"
Chapter completed!
