Chapter 122: The Martyrs' Cemetery
The next day, when Liu Xia and Kou Baimen woke up, Liu Xia didn't accompany Kou Baimen for long, so he got up and arranged a few words to the maid and left in a hurry.
Because today is the day of the burial of the soldiers, Liu Xia must appear, and there is also a fanfare.
The cemetery has been chosen, and the bodies of all the soldiers have been covered with yellow dragon flags on a black background for the soldiers to carry to be buried.
In the main hall of Pingbei Bofu, Wang En took two steps forward and said: "General Hui, now the cemetery has been prepared, and the remains of the soldiers can be buried at any time, although the monument and the hall have not been built, but those tombs have been planned." ”
Liu Xia said happily: "That's good, the remains of the soldiers can't be exposed in the air for too long for a long time, and now they can only be wronged first." The order went down, and today, except for the Luoyang inspectors and defenders of the Investigation Division, all the soldiers went to the cemetery in the northern suburbs of Luoyang. ”
"Yes!" All the soldiers below shouted in unison.
When it was three o'clock in the morning, Liu Xia had already mounted his horse and led most of them to the cemetery in the northern suburbs of Luoyang, and all the followers of the Tiger Regiment, the Guard Regiment, the Wolf Howling Regiment, the Lion Regiment, and the Eagle Yang Battalion in Luoyang City were still in Luoyang City, and the bodies of the three hundred and thirty-two warriors who died were carried by more than 600 soldiers in the middle of the army.
The feng shui of the cemetery chosen by Wang En is indeed good, even Liu Xia, a person who does not understand feng shui, can't help but feel comfortable when he sees it. Luoyang was originally a place of prosperity, in the world. Luoyang Bishan is a treasure of feng shui, in ancient times, there was born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in the north of the words. This north is Luoyang Mountain.
There are a large number of ancient nobles and emperors' tombs in this Luoyang Mountain, and the burial goods are countless, and the underground cultural relics can be said to be everywhere. Therefore, there are also a large number of tomb robbers who come here to rob tombs, not to mention ancient times, even in the 21st century, the suburbs of Luoyang are full of tomb robbers.
This martyr's cemetery covers an area of 80 hectares, about more than 1,000 acres of land, the area can be described as not small, of course, Liu Xia knows that the number of people who will die in the war in the future will be very large, and this more than 1,000 acres of land may not be enough.
"This is the cemetery you chose? Yes, not badly. Liu Xia couldn't stop admiring.
At this time, there were already many displaced people who had been summoned to the cemetery, and the walls of the cemetery had been partially built, and more than 300 tombs had been dug in the cemetery, as well as more than 300 tombstones, on which names had been written. Just waiting for the dead soldiers to be buried in it.
Many soldiers saw the scene of the cemetery, as well as the future planning of the cemetery, they were a little envious of those dead brothers, this cemetery only the soldiers who died in battle are eligible to stay, and every time the highest person in Qingming has to come to worship, what a great glory it is! This is true after the death of a real soldier.
"This will be my place to stay in the future!" Among the thousands of soldiers, an ordinary corporal looked at the cemetery, which was still deserted, and said firmly.
A corporal next to him said with some mockery: "You still want to be buried here?" Don't you know that this is where only true warriors are buried? We are just subordinates of the Logistics Department, where are we still qualified to be buried here. ”
The corporal retorted, "How can you say that? Aren't the personnel of the Logistics Division also fighters? Hmph, I'll apply for a transfer to a combat unit in a few days. ”
"Come on, come on, for the sake of a cemetery, as for the sake of your own life? Where is the difference between death and burial, you must know that you go to the battlefield but you will die for a lifetime, and there is no danger to your life if you stay in the logistics department. ”
"Hmph, the bird's ambition is good! I don't want to tell you, you don't have the soul of a soldier at all, a soldier lives for war, dies for war, and can be worshiped by the general after death, what a high honor is this? The honor of the military man is above all else. ”
"I don't understand what honor you have or not, it's not like I haven't been on the battlefield before, how cruel the war is, you still want to go to it? No matter how you say it in the logistics department, you can have a stable place, get a house in Luoyang City, marry a wife, and then give birth to a few big fat boys to inherit the lineage, it is better than training in the military camp every day, not even having a home, and worrying about whether you can come back every time you fight. ”
"Brother Zhang, you don't need to say more, we don't have the same way, I have made up my mind, the battlefield is the right existence for me, and this cemetery will definitely have a piece of mine in the end!"
At this time, the military song of the Pingbei Army began to sound in the cemetery, and in the center of the cemetery, a very large Pingbei Army military flag with a black background and a yellow dragon flag slowly rose.
When the music fell and the flag was raised, Liu Xia shouted, "Burial!" ”
Then the hundreds of soldiers carried 300 soldiers to the cemetery, step by step, walking neither fast nor slow.
All the soldiers were serious-faced, some with tears in their eyes, and many of them used to fight and laugh with them, but now they are separated by heaven and earth.
"Stampede"
Six hundred soldiers carrying the fallen walked towards the tomb in orderly steps.
The scene was very quiet and quiet, no one spoke, although some of the soldiers had tears in their eyes, but none of them wiped their eyes with their hands, I was afraid that the bodies of the former comrades-in-arms would disappear the moment they wiped their eyes, and they wanted to take another look at them, one last look. Even now those who died are covered with military flags.
Tears are now the main theme here.
In such a scene, Liu Xia couldn't help but shed tears.
As the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, but that's not to the sad place.
These soldiers died for themselves, Liu Xia felt a little guilty in his heart, Liu Xia vowed to let them sleep peacefully, as long as he passed his children and grandchildren for a day, their worship was indispensable.
"Buried!"
With an order, the 600 well-trained soldiers put the bodies of their comrades into the masonry tomb that had been built overnight.
Then they walked back neatly, and the rest was left undone, and around the tomb there were improvised homeless people who were in charge of burial.
At this time, the thousands of soldiers went to wipe their eyes, especially the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion, who were the most sad. After all, their regiment has the most dead people, there are more than 300 people, after so many battles, the comrade-in-arms is not much more than the family affection, not to mention that most of the people in the army have no relatives, then this friendship has completely replaced the existence of family affection.
"Lao Li, don't worry, every year on August 29th and the Qingming Festival, I will come to see you incense for you, and when I have a child in the future, I will definitely let them recognize their godfather."
