Chapter 482 Airdrop Presidential Medal
The first floor of the Shanguan family house is 250 square meters, with three floors. There are seven or eight rooms on both sides and at the back of the first floor lobby, and there is also a large grain warehouse at the end. The main body is made of wood, and the wood on the mountain is too rich, and the houses are built with precious wood. If this kind of house is estimated in China in the 1920s, it would be worth at least 500 million yuan. But in that place, in that era, the house was just bigger, and the value of precious wood was not fully reflected.
Luo Zhong and other major officers lived in the room on the third floor, and thousands of people from the commando lived on the floor of the hall and on the first floor.
The room where Zhang Junhao lives was lived by Guan Yushan, and later lived by Taro Miki, on the second floor, close to forty square meters.
Li Li put five boxes of the most exquisite jade and jewelry he selected and piled them in Zhang Junhao's room.
The bed is three and a half meters wide and two and a half meters long.
Because the room is big and the bed is very large, Li Li asked Wu Qiong to sleep in the bed too.
Li Li took two excellent jade bracelets to cover Wu Qiong's wrists. Because Wu Qiong had a ruby pendant, she didn't give her a necklace and said to Wu Qiong: "If you want it, take it yourself."
Li Li wore an exquisite square jade plaque and two jade bracelets on each wrist.
If the jade bracelets they wore were sold in China in the 1920s, each one would cost more than 100 million. They were all imperial green and beautiful.
Although Li Li is an American and has a master's background, she is a woman after all and has a natural love for jewelry.
After dawn, Zhang Junhao and Wu Qiong and Li Li talked.
After breakfast, Zhang Junhao, Colonel Luo Zhong, Wu Qiong, Zachry and the headman set out on the way back to the team camp under the protection of a commando squad.
Before lunch, Zhang Junhao and his party arrived at the team headquarters and were warmly welcomed by Colonel Zhang Boliang, Colonel Brandon and Colonel Les.
After Zhang Junhao informed them of the situation, he had lunch in the combat command room.
During lunch, the telegraph officer brought the telegram and reported that the telegram was issued by General Stilwell.
Zhang Junhao quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks and took the telegram to read.
Stilwell said that in order to commend Zhang Junhao for escorting US pilots and rescuing US military intelligence personnel, protecting Chinese and American generals in the New Ocean front and rescuing British troops in the battle of rescuing allied troops, and repeatedly made great contributions in the anti-*** war in Zhejiang, China. He led the special melee team and friendly forces to eliminate tens of thousands of Japanese troops, which effectively inspires the confidence of the anti-*** allies in the world to defeat the ***. The US President decided to commend Zhang Junhao. Because of the war, the President could not personally award Zhang Junhao.
Zhang, Stilwell and Wingate will fly over the camp by plane and airdrop medals and related documents. At the same time, Jack, Li Li and the US Marines' performance in the war will be awarded together. The medals will be given to him by Zhang Junhao on behalf of Stilwell. Other meritorious personnel will be reported to General Stilwell and will be commended in the future. The plane arrives at 1:00 pm and invites the special melee team and the British army to gather in the camp. Stilwell will speak to Zhang Junhao on the plane via radio.
After reading the telegram, Zhang Junhao quickly showed it to Zhang Boliang, Brandon, Luo Zhong and Zachry.
Colonel Brandon immediately stopped eating and ran out to send a notice. The three infantry detachments were stationed at a distance from the team headquarters! If you don’t send a notice quickly, it’s too late.
After Colonel Brandon left, Colonel Luo Zhong looked at Zhang Junhao and said, "I have made contributions in escorting the US pilots! It seems that you have to write down the situation and commend it with others in the future."
Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "It must be so. I had no idea in advance. If I knew, I would have listed all the list of commendations. Stilwell returned to the United States, which may have been proposed by Stilwell and the US President. After Stilwell returned from the United States, we fought the Japanese here."
Luo Zhong smiled and said: "If you rescue the British army, it is estimated that the UK will also issue us medals."
Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "It should be."
Soon Lieutenant Colonel Jack came, and Zhang Junhao asked Lieutenant Colonel Jack to sit down and have tea. Lieutenant Colonel Jack smiled after reading the telegram.
Half an hour later, Lieutenant Colonel Yang Jianhu, Lieutenant Colonel Huang Yongjun and Lieutenant Colonel Cameron came one after another, and everyone first drank tea in the combat command room.
After the teams gathered in the team, Zhang Junhao and others went out together.
Zhang Junhao told everyone loudly that the two generals Stilwell and Wingate would fly over the air, drop medals and speak to Zhang Junhao on radio.
Colonel Brandon also said a sentence.
After a little after 1:00 p.m., several US fighter jets flew over and then hovered in the air. Soon a passenger plane flew over and hovered at a low altitude.
The descent parachute was dropped on the passenger plane, and the team members ran over and carried the package to Zhang Junhao to open it.
Zhang Junhao took the walkie-phone from the guards' hands and spoke to General Stilwell.
General Stilwell said: "On behalf of the President of the United States, I thank you for escorting US pilots, rescuing US intelligence personnel, protecting US middle and senior U.S. officers on the front line of Ledo, successfully rescuing British special forces, and leading a special melee team to eliminate tens of thousands of Japanese troops in Zhejiang, greatly encouraging the confidence of the world's anti-*** allies to defeat ***. The President of the United States decided to award you the Medal of Honor."
Zhang Junhao replied loudly thanking.
Stilwell continued to talk about Lieutenant Colonel Jack's deeds and awarded Jack the Silver Star Medal. He talked about the deeds of the Marine Corps, promoted Lieutenant Nathan to captain, and awarded all the Navy Cross Medals.
Finally, I talked about Li Li's deeds, saying that Li Li has been with the special melee team and fought with the Japanese army, and has made great achievements, and has written a large number of battlefield reports, which greatly encouraged the confidence of the military and civilians of the Allied countries to fight against the war. He decided to award Li Li the Silver Star Medal, and his military rank was promoted from lieutenant to major.
On behalf of Lieutenant Colonel Jack, Marines and Li Li, Zhang Junhao expressed his gratitude.
Stilwell said: "The war on the front line of the New Ocean was unexpectedly stalemate, and the attack of the Chinese and American coalition forces was suddenly blocked. I hope the special melee team can find ways to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, shake the confidence of the Japanese army, and contribute to the successful conquering of the New Ocean. At the end of November, I will go to Cairo, Egypt to attend the summit of the Allied Powers. The New Ocean must capture it at the end of the 10th and present a gift to the summit. Time is very tight."
Zhang Junhao replied loudly: "Please rest assured, the commander, I decided to dispatch the commando and an infantry unit to attack the Japanese army in the Mengguan direction five days later."
Stilwell said: "It's great! Be sure to pay attention to safety. Crossing the Hukang Valley with primitive jungles is full of crisis. If you can't cross, the action will be cancelled."
Zhang Junhao said: "I am preparing to travel through the jungle. No matter how difficult it is, in order to support the Sino-US coalition forces to conquer the New Pingyang, my special melee team can overcome it."
General Wingate spoke, General Wingate expressed his gratitude to Zhang Junhot for his successful rescue of the British army, saying that he would ask the British king to commend Zhang Junhao, saying that he would continue to stay in Ledo, and command the British army and the Allied special operations teams fighting behind enemy lines. He said that he hoped that the Special Sweeping Team would continue to maintain contact with him. Once the British army recovered its combat effectiveness, the British army would fight side by side with the Special Sweeping Team.
General Wingate spoke with Colonel Les.
Since the British army was still in the recuperation period, most of the officers and soldiers had not recovered their energy, they did not line up this time, only Colonel Les participated in the event.
After the plane flew away, the medals and documents in the parachute bag had been sorted out and disposed of.
Zhang Junhao preached the commendation documents to Lieutenant Colonel Jack and wore a medal to him personally.
Li Li and the Marines were both in the commando, and Zhang Junhao decided to return to the commando and present them with awards there.
After the ceremony, Zhang Junhao wore a medal for himself and spoke again to inspire all officers and soldiers to fight against the war.
After Zhang Junhao finished speaking, he announced the end of the meeting.
Zhang Junhao presided over a meeting of officers above the squad leader in the combat command room, and Colonel Les of the British Army attended the meeting.
After talking to everyone about the situation of the Kachin people, Zhang Junhao said: "Because we have to cross the jungle and there are swamps on the road ahead, our heavy weapons cannot be transported. I decided to carry this mission by the commando and the second infantry detachment. The specific commando and Chief of Staff Luo Zhong are commanded by me and Deputy Captain Zhang Boliang and Deputy Captain Brandon. When the commando and the second infantry detachment attacked the Japanese army in Mengguan direction, the team intends to send reconnaissance personnel to the southernmost end of Ximenling to reconnaissance to find out the access and the Japanese army's defense. When the commando and the second infantry detachment return, I want to go to that direction to attack the Japanese fortress immediately. Because when we attacked the Japanese army in Mengguan direction, the Japanese army in the fortress would think that we had all moved over and the defense would inevitably be relaxed."
All participants nodded.
Zhang Junhao saw Colonel Les laughing and said, "About the enemy situation in the southeast, you must assist our department in finding out. The key is what channels can be passed. The intelligence work of the Special Melee Team will be led by Adjutant Wu. Adjutant Wu will follow me. When Adjutant Wu is not here, Deputy Captain Brandon will be led by Adjutant Wu."
Colonel Les nodded and said, "Please rest assured, our department will do its best to assist the special melee team in queuing the enemy situation in that direction."
Zhang Junhao looked towards Meng Gong and Myitkyina and said, "The Japanese army adopted a cascade defense strategy, trying to consume the Sino-US coalition forces step by step. The decisive battle in the minds of the Japanese army should be in the Meng Gong and Myitkyina areas. We must disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army and consolidate the will of the Japanese army. In every battle with the Japanese army, we must eliminate as much vitality as possible. Our actions must be beyond the expectations of the Japanese army, and we cannot defend against the Japanese army."
As soon as the meeting ended, everyone had supper in the combat command room.
After dinner, Lieutenant Colonel Huang Yongjun immediately returned to the team headquarters to prepare for the Kachin location tomorrow morning.
Zhang Junhao sat at the small square table in the tent where he lived and had tea and rested.
Wu Qiong guided the telegraph staff in the telegraph room to intercept Japanese telegraphs. There were three radio stations used to intercept Japanese telegraphs, which were brought from Zhejiang. Wu Qiong was very clear about the frequency range of Japanese telegraphs. When she was in Zhejiang, the "tiger" organization spies she led were doing this kind of work. The telegraph used radio and had a specific frequency range. When searching, it was a bit like an old radio. The telegraph staff wore headphones and listened carefully to the beeping sounds, and then recorded the suspected Japanese telegraph. A telegraph machine only requires one operator, three telegraph operators, two translators, and a total of five people engaged in intercepting and deciphering Japanese telegraphs. These five people are all veterans and have a lot of experience.
What is recorded is not the text, but the code. It takes a set of codes and a set of codes to translate the code into text before you can know the content of the telegram. The so-called deciphering is translation, which is extremely difficult. Moreover, the translation speed is fast. It will be translated after a year or two, and it will lose its value. The timeliness of telegram translation determines its value.
Although Wu Qiong had a Japanese codebook in his hand, it was still unimaginable that it was difficult to intercept and decipher the Japanese telegram.
Zhang Junhao did not put pressure on Wu Qiong, but Wu Qiong was very proud and wanted to prove her ability in front of Zhang Junhao, so she would put pressure on herself. She only stayed for one night when she came back, but she actually decided to spend that night in the telegraph room.
Wu Qiong was very emotional. Zhang Junhao was kind to her, so she was willing to do it for Zhang Junhao. What did she want? Only Zhang Junhao liked her. Zhang Junhao wanted to work hard to restore her memory, but she tried hard to forget everything in the past. It was really good to Zhang Junhao. She liked her current work and roles very much. She was with Zhang Junhao. She was in a state of high excitement and felt that she had endless energy all over her body.
Sakurako Uriya serves Zhang Junhao, and Zhang Junhao gave her two exquisite jade bracelets and pendants, which made her cry. Sakurako Uriya has an extroverted personality, dares to speak and act, and shows her love. When she is alone with Zhang Junhao, she will try her best to show her charm, flatter and please Zhang Junhao.
In bed, she would imaginatively use various postures to cater to Zhang Junhao's favor.
Although Sakurako Yumiya is also a beautiful woman, her appearance and temperament are one order of magnitude worse than Wu Qiong. However, her figure is perfect and she loves to laugh. She will show her two little tiger teeth when she smiles, which makes her look extremely cute. She is very attentive in her life, and Zhang Junhao's belongings are well organized. She talks a lot and will tell Zhang Junhao everything she knows. This is a bit like asking. Zhang Junhao still likes Sakurako Yumiya.
Chapter completed!
