After leaving Yushe Airport, Wei Dayong and his party set off at high speed.

Arrive at the headquarters at 12:30 noon.

In addition to the commander and chief of staff, the division commander was also there, gathering with several headquarters staff officers to happily discuss the matter of the Japanese Lieutenant General.

"Report to the chief, Chief of Staff Wei is here!" A guard ran into the conference room, saluted with a military salute and then said.

"Let them in quickly." The chief said quickly.

"Yes!" The guard straightened up and walked out quickly.

After a while, Wei Dayong, Ge Erdan, Huang Erhu and Miaozi, who was carrying a radio on their backs, walked in from the door.

When they saw the leaders, everyone gave a military salute.

"Report to the commander!" Wei Dayong said loudly, "The flight formation successfully completed the ash raising operation, please give instructions!"

"Wei Dayong, you did a good job!" The chief patted him on the shoulder, looking extremely satisfied.

The division commander adjusted his glasses and smiled at Wei Dayong: "This time you not only raised the ashes of Yoshio Shinozuka, but also killed an additional Japanese lieutenant general. You boy took the greatest credit."

"The division commander is ridiculously complimentary." Wei Dayong said with a smile, "The ability to kill the Japanese lieutenant general is mainly due to the efforts of the comrades in the deciphering team. We were just doing rough work and bumped into him by mistake."

"You kid, stop being so modest."

The chief of staff smiled and said: "If Li Yunlong has made such a great contribution, why can't his tail be raised to the sky?"

Everyone burst out laughing, and the headquarters conference room was filled with cheerful air.

"The chief of staff is right, you are so humble." The chief said in an extremely domineering manner, "The deciphering team has made a great contribution, but without you and your subordinates to help our Eighth Route Army seize those planes, even if we intercepted the Japanese

Telegram, we can only watch the enemy planes fly away, still unable to do anything."

"Miaozi, you go back to the communications room first." The chief of staff looked at Miaozi and said to her.

"Yes, Chief!" Miao Zi saluted a military salute neatly and walked out.

"Come on, come on, sit down and tell us all." The chief of staff said to Wei Dayong, Ge Erdan and Huang Erhu, "How did you shoot down the enemy plane?"

The commander and division commander were extremely curious. They had never seen an air battle with their own eyes. Several staff officers who were busy in the conference room also quickly pricked their ears.

Wei Dayong said: "Shall we stand and talk?"

"Sit down if I offer you a seat!" The chief raised his hand and said, "No need to be formal!"

"Yes!" Wei Dayong straightened up, moved a bench, and the three of them sat in front of the three leaders.

Wei Dayong sat in the middle, Huang Erhu and Ge Erdan sat on either side of him, but both of them tensed up, held their heads high and did not squint.

Immediately, Wei Dayong explained in detail the story of the air battle and the shooting down of the enemy transport plane and two fighter jets.

"So?" the division commander's eyes lit up and said, "In front of the soldiers of a division, you spread the ashes of their commander and killed their lieutenant general?"

"That's right." Wei Dayong nodded and smiled, "Before I left, I sent an aerial bomb to their commander and lieutenant general at the crash site."

"Well done!" the chief of staff laughed, "I guess by the time the Japanese rush over, their general will not even be able to find his complete body."

The chief of staff, division commander, and all the combat staff burst into laughter.

It’s so refreshing! It’s so refreshing!

The leader glared and said domineeringly: "To deal with the little devil, you need to be so strong and beat him so hard that it hurts!"

The chief of staff suddenly asked: "By the way, you haven't eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Wei Dayong smiled, "I just got off the plane and came to the headquarters."

"That's just right," the chief of staff said, "dinner is about to start at the headquarters. You guys should wait to eat before going back. During this time, I will discuss with the boss, division commander and comrades from the political department how to record your merits."

Wei Dayong said: "Chief of Staff, just forget about taking credit this time. This mission is not that difficult anyway..."

"That's not okay." The leader said categorically, "If you make meritorious service, you should be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you should be punished. This is part of the discipline of the army!"

Wei Dayong still wanted to speak, but the leader drove the three of them to the lounge.

In desperation, Wei Dayong, Huang Erhu and Ge Erdan had to go to the lounge to wait.

After Wei Dayong and others left, the chief called the comrades from the Political Department over.

Gathered together with the chief of staff and division commander to discuss Wei Dayong and his colleagues' meritorious service and awards.

"Let's talk about it," the leader said first, "what kind of merit is appropriate for Wei Dayong and the others to remember this time?"

The political minister was the first to say: "The merits Wei Dayong and the others accomplished this time are no less than the annihilation of a Japanese brigade. Logically speaking, it is not too much to give them special merit, but a few days ago they were awarded special merit.

Gong, if you give special merit again this time, will this special merit be given too casually?"

"What are these words?" the chief said, "Special merit is evaluated according to the size of the meritorious service, and it is not evaluated casually. In my opinion, they should be awarded special merit this time."

"I agree with the boss." The teacher said, "Special merit does not depend on the amount of merit, only the size of the meritorious service."

"I don't think so." The chief of staff also said, "This time it was Comrade Wei Dayong who shot down the enemy's special transport plane No. L, Comrade Huang Erhu shot down one fighter plane, and Comrade Ge Erdan cooperated with Comrade Wei Dayong to shoot down one enemy fighter plane.

In terms of merit, Comrade Wei Dayong must be the greatest, so I will give Comrade Wei Dayong a special merit, give Huang Erhu and Ge Erdan a first-class merit, and give Comrade Lin E of the deciphering team a special merit. What do you think?"

"I think it's okay." The chief nodded and said, "I agree with the chief of staff's opinion."

Political Minister: "I agree!"

Teacher: "I agree!"

…

After lunch, the chief gathered all the comrades from all the headquarters agencies together.

In the courtyard of the headquarters, the Minister of Political Department has prepared for the award ceremony for meritorious service.

Wei Dayong, Ge Erdan and Huang Erhu stood in the middle of the yard, surrounded by comrades from the headquarters.

A dashing girl wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform walked out of the side room sleepily and stood with Wei Dayong and the others.

Lin E didn't sleep all day and night. She just squinted in the deciphering room for a while and then she was called up.

Wei Dayong glanced at her in surprise. He always felt that this girl looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Lin E noticed that someone was looking at her, so she looked up and saw a tall and mighty man with a heroic look on his brows staring at her.

Lin E smiled politely at Wei Dayong, then turned away and straightened her appearance.

Seeing that several award recipients had arrived, the political minister said: "Comrade Wei Dayong and Comrade Lin E performed outstandingly in this ashes raising operation, causing the enemy to pay a heavy price. They will be recorded as having special merit. Comrade Ge Erdan,

Comrade Huang Erhu, who had the courage to overcome difficulties during the mission operation, was proactive, quickly and effectively cooperated with the operation, and made important contributions to the successful completion of the mission operation, will be recorded with first-class merit once, and will be awarded the title of combat hero!"

Wei Dayong was stunned immediately and gave him another special merit?

How many days has it been since the last time you were evaluated for special merit?

When the Political Minister called Comrade Lin E, Wei Dayong finally remembered who she was.

It's no wonder that Lin E in "The Righteous Way in the World Is Vicissitudes of Life" can decipher the Japanese army's radio station.

It seems that in the original drama, Lin E deciphered the Japanese radio station, and the Chinese fighter jets shot down the special plane of a Japanese aviation division commander.

Although Ge Erdan and Huang Erhu were not awarded special merit, they were very happy.

Because first-class merit is not common among combat troops.

Every first-class meritorious service member is worshiped in the army.

Moreover, the two of them were also awarded special merit a few days ago.

Amid the applause, the chief personally awarded Wei Dayong and the others special medals of merit.

Next, the four people who received the award for their meritorious service gave their acceptance speeches one after another.

Today's headquarters is full of happy air.

After the ceremony, Ge Erdan and Huang Erhu looked at Wei Dayong. Are they planning to return to the Independent Regiment next?

Wei Dayong walked straight towards Lin E.

"Comrade Lin E, please wait a moment." Wei Dayong stopped her.

"Comrade Wei Dayong, what's wrong?" Lin E turned around and looked at Wei Dayong with her head tilted.

In fact, during these days at the headquarters, Lin E often heard Wei Dayong's name. The heads of the headquarters often mentioned Wei Dayong on their lips.

But seeing Wei Dayong himself, Lin E felt that there was nothing strange about Wei Dayong except that he was taller and more powerful.

"I have something to ask you." Wei Dayong said.

"You ask." Lin E smiled sweetly.

"Do you know Yang Liqing?" Wei Dayong asked.

Lin E looked surprised. She thought Wei Dayong would ask her how she deciphered the enemy's telegram.

"Know?" Lin E asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'll just ask, thank you." Wei Dayong smiled, and after getting the answer he wanted, he turned and walked towards the door.

At the same time, he waved to Ge Erdan and Huang Erhu.

Arriving outside the courtyard of the headquarters, the head of the headquarters and Miaozi came out to see them off.
