Loss has reached one third

In a small village filled with captives, beside a number 4 tank, riddled with bullet holes, Liu Guozhu received the Third Class Cavalry Medal that belonged to him.

This medal was exclusive to the tank forces, personally designed and established by His Majesty Tang Mo of the Great Tang Kingdom.

Being able to receive such a medal on the first day of the war, Liu Guozhu could be said to have stood out among the many armored troops commanders.

He stood at attention and saluted, then shared a warm embrace with the infantry platoon leader who had also received the Third Class Blade Medal—their grueling fight in the afternoon had not been in vain, as soon as the regiment headquarters arrived and took over the prisoners, they immediately received the medals issued by the division headquarters.

To commend these valiant frontline soldiers, the division headquarters specifically sent a car to transport the chief of staff to them, who personally awarded the medals to both men.
