With their prolonged departure and subsequent perilous experience, Lu Xingzhi and Colonel Lin were swarmed on their way out by a big crowd of people.
Both were awarded the First-Class Merit Medal for their heroics. This was an honor many people might never ever receive.
"Colonel, Captain, many soldiers sacrificed their lives for this rescue mission. The platoon started a fund-raising campaign, do you want to donate?" Zhou Junmin asked.
Even though the Jin City platoon sent Colonel Lin and Lu Xingzhi for the rescue mission, the other platoons were hit with many casualties. The fund-raising campaign was started to ensure that the family members of the sacrificed soldiers were taken care of.
"Of course." Colonel Lin stated the amount he wanted to donate after learning how much his superiors and subordinates gave.
Before Lu Xingzhi could ask, Zhou Junmin said, "The captains of other squads donated amounts between thirty thousand and a hundred thousand."
