Chapter 217: Heroes and Martyrs

At this time, the army commander sighed and told his parents about Li Chengming's sacrifice in the line of duty. This time, the old couple is full of tears. They never thought that their son, who had been a soldier for three years, was so good that he was about to be discharged from the army this year, how could such a thing happen.

Now this white-haired man sends a black-haired man. Naturally, the old couple was grief-stricken. Li Chengming's mother couldn't cry anymore and turned her back on her anger.

Hu Qiang and Zhu Xiangjun couldn't help but shed tears when they saw this sad scene. The army commander also had moist eyes, and hurriedly helped the old lady who became famous. Those villagers who were watching the excitement on the side heard that Li Chengming had died in the line of duty. They were all very sympathetic to Li Chengming's parents all of a sudden, and some villagers came over to put Li Chengming's mother on the ground and pinched the 'human middle', and Li Chengming's mother slowly woke up again.

"Hu Qiang! We went to help Li Chengming's parents to the helicopter, and we hurried back. "This army commander saw that it was not too early at this time, this road was far away, and he still had to set off quickly.

When Hu Qiang heard this, he hurriedly came to Li Chengming's parents with Zhu Xiangjun, and asked them not to be sad first, but to go to the exercise site with the chief to see Chengming first.

Li Chengming's parents controlled their emotions a little at this time, and got into the helicopter with Hu Qiang and Zhu Xiangjun.

After four or five hours of flight, the helicopter flew to the exercise area again. Then he hurriedly let Li Chengming's parents take the military commander's special car to the 113 Hospital. When Li Chengming's parents saw that their son had left him forever, they naturally cried again. Needless to say, here.

The next day, a large 'memorial service' was held in the auditorium of the 'emergency combat unit' to 'comfort' Li Chengming's grief-stricken parents.

At this time, all the soldiers, cadres and division commanders of the artillery regiment and the political commissars of the division were present at this 'memorial service'. The commander's political commissar, the commander's political commissar, and Vice Chairman Liu of the Military Commission.

This can be said to be the first time that such a high-level 'memorial rally' has been held, and this time the object of memorial is only an ordinary soldier.

Now the portrait of Li Chengming's heroic warrior is hung in the center of the rostrum. Li Chengming's parents were arranged to sit in the middle seat in front of the rostrum.

Now that the memorial meeting begins, Vice Chairman Liu of the Central Military Commission will first announce the decision on the 'reward' for Li Chengming's sacrifice in the line of duty.

"Comrade Li Chengming of the 1st Division Artillery Regiment died in the line of duty, and he sacrificed himself to protect his comrades-in-arms, which is a noble spirit of pointless revolutionary soldiers who dare to sacrifice and dedicate.

In this regard, the Central Military Commission decided to posthumously commemorate Comrade Li Chengming's first-class meritorious service in the line of fire. and received the title of 'martyr'. It is also necessary to call on all officers and men of the army to learn from Comrade Li Chengming.

For the families of the martyrs. Be sure to take care of their lives and give them enough pensions so that they can still be happy in the future.

Li became famous, and he was an excellent physical appearance among our fighters. The heroic spirit of our servicemen was fully demonstrated at a critical moment. In the future, it should be commemorated as a model for our troops to learn from. ”

After Vice Chairman Liu read out the decision. He came down from the rostrum with the other chiefs. One by one, they shook hands and saluted Li Chengming's parents.

This Li Chengming's parents saluted themselves when they saw so many big leaders in the army. That's pretty impressive, too. I feel that the head of our People's Liberation Army is good, and his son is not an ordinary soldier, but he is given such a high-level memorial ceremony. This made them very moved. I am also proud to have such a son.

Zhu Xiangjun is now sitting in the auditorium, and he is also full of emotion. He didn't expect that Li Chengming's sacrifice in the line of duty would have such a big impact. Even let the heads of the Military Commission come to participate. This not only made Zhu Xiangjun, who was still 'alive', very envious. …,

He thought that if he also 'sacrificed in the line of duty' one day, he could have such a high-level memorial service, then he could also smile Jiuquan.

Zhu Xiangjun thinks like this now, he may also feel that he is just thinking about it, and it will not become a reality. But he probably couldn't have imagined it. One day ten years later. He will also 'die in the line of duty.'"

When the time comes, his 'memorial service' will be much more advanced than that. He also wants to be more 'famous' than Li Chengming.

This is, of course, 'a long time' later. I won't say much about it now.

After this memorial service. There were army commanders and commanders, as well as Hu Qiang and Zhu Xiangjun, and they flew back to Li Chengming's hometown together with a large helicopter arranged by the military region to carry Li Chengming's body and his parents.

When the soldier died, he was supposed to be cremated. However, the head of the army took into account the mood of Li Chengming's parents, and couldn't bear to make them sad anymore. So he made an exception and returned to his hometown with Li Chengming's body, and then buried it in accordance with local customs.

This was a special funeral, and there were two generals who were nearly half a hundred years old who attended the funeral. That is Commander Chen of the Military Region and Commander Zhu of the Military Department.

This rural funeral, attended by two generals, can be said to have never been done before.

This made Li Chengming's parents very moved.

"Chief! You are busy with work, so don't attend the funeral of fame. Go back! ”

Li Chengming's parents were already very moved to see that the two generals had attended the memorial service for Chengming. How can this still make the head of the family. Tired of a long journey to a remote mountain village to attend a soldier's funeral!

"Nope! Eldest sister! Eldest brother! Needless to say, we're all about the same age. This fame is your son. That's our son too, and our son is gone, so how can we not be allowed to attend his funeral! ”

Commander Chen was also very moved when he saw the two old men who were very sad at this moment. He thought that he would have to attend the funeral of Li Chengming no matter what, otherwise he would feel indebted to the two kind old men.

The two old men saw that the chief must participate. I had no choice but to say yes. However, according to local customs, the old man does not bring 'filial piety' to the funeral of his younger generation. So I didn't give them both a 'filial piety' cloth.

But Commander Chen and Commander Zhu wanted to bring 'filial piety'. This made the old man who made Li famous, and quickly advised: "Chief! This is unacceptable! You are an elder, this can't bring 'filial piety' to the younger generation!

"Nope! Eldest brother! Eldest sister! We are not famous elders, we are just famous comrades-in-arms, so of course we can bring 'filial piety' for him. ”

As he spoke, the commander and commander took off their large-brimmed hats, and then took two white 'filial piety' belts, which they carried on their heads.

It was a special funeral, the funeral of an ordinary soldier attended by two generals. This came out of Li Chengming's home, which attracted onlookers from the villagers.

The villagers saw that so many leaders and soldiers of the army came to attend the funeral of Li Chengming. They were very moved, and some of them spontaneously entered the funeral procession. It was this ordinary rural funeral that suddenly became very vast and tragic
