Chapter 529: It is thanks to your dedication that we can live a peaceful life

[Unmodified Version]

After five or six hours of arduous marching, the people finally arrived at the important battle of their condolence trip, which was the Mausoleum of the Martyrs of Kangxi.

This martyrs' mausoleum* not only buries the martyrs who died bravely to defend the borders of the motherland, but also buries the soldiers who died in the line of duty and died of illness in the sky defense area.

Today, 106 soldiers who died and died of illness have been buried here.

The cemetery has no courtyard walls and is surrounded by only a few sparse greenery. Looking at the monument engraved with 'The martyrs who defended the borders of the motherland are immortal', Han Li's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

Back then, no, it was all the time, and it was with this group of soldiers who sacrificed silently and contributed silently that we had a quiet and peaceful life.

Now that the motherland is strong, great progress has been made in social development. It's a pity that they can't enjoy it anymore.

After arriving at the cemetery, everyone became solemn. Because of the snow, the cemetery is covered with a thick layer of snow.

Seeing this, the accompanying soldiers consciously picked up their tools one by one and began to clean up. Seeing this, Han Li and a few of them also joined in unconsciously.

Clear the snow and wipe down the tombstones. Several veterans began to light a cigarette for each tombstone in turn, and the cadre who led the team also took out two bottles of wine from the car and began to silently pour them in front of each tombstone.

As for Han Li, a few of them were all standing there silently. Although he didn't quite understand the emotions between the soldiers, looking at these tombstones and these solemn soldiers, Han Li's eyes didn't know when they were full of tears.

I don't know when he was so vulnerable. I just felt that at that moment, this picture was like a hammer hitting his heart.

And Zhao Xi cried like a tearful person, holding a large pile of oranges with red eyes, and began to put down tombstones one by one.

As for Han Li, he was a little restrained, just silently following behind the veterans and listening to them tell the life stories of each tombstone owner here.

According to the veterans, both those who go out and those who come in will stop here every time. Visit your comrades-in-arms who are sleeping here, talk to them, and clean and maintain this place.

Although the wind here is as sharp as a knife, these tombstones still stand, as if they had ascended to the majestic body, and continued to guard the frontier for the motherland.

After the worship was over, the crowd continued to set off. According to the cadres who led the team, this is not far from the outpost.

But the more you get to the outpost, the higher the altitude, and the more obvious the high reaction of everyone. Especially Zhang Chunli, the symptoms are more serious.

Finally, after crossing a pass, everyone finally saw this legendary outpost.

After seeing the goal of this trip, everyone's mood also improved. Even Zhang Chunli, who has a more serious high anti-reaction, got up and tidied up her clothes, wanting to give the soldiers a good image.

Regarding Han Li's arrival, they had been notified here before they set off. So when the outpost saw Han Li's vehicle, they quickly gathered troops and prepared to meet them.

In the warm applause of the soldiers, Han Li and others got out of the car.

In front of the soldiers were two young officers, one surnamed Liu, who was the company commander of the Shenxian Bay Frontier Company, and the other was the instructor of the Frontier Company.

Welcome, welcome, everyone has worked hard along the way. Company Commander Liu and Instructor Ma stepped forward to shake hands with them.

Company Commander Liu, we're here to make trouble for you this time. Zhao Xi smiled at them.

Well, we're looking forward to you every day. Company Commander Liu shook his head with a smile and said, "Our life here is relatively closed, so the soldiers' usual cultural life is relatively boring and single. This time, I know that you have come thousands of miles to our company to offer condolences, and everyone is very moved. ”

It is we who should be moved, officially with your silent dedication, so that our years are quiet. Han Li said sincerely to the two dark-skinned company commanders.

This is what we should do, that is, our responsibility and our obligation. Instructor Ma smiled: "Han, Han ......"

Seeing that this horse instructor didn't know what to call him, Han Li smiled and said, "You can just call me Xiao Han." ”

Okay, Han. Instructor Ma smiled: "Knowing that you are coming, the soldiers are very excited, they have never seen a star before." ”

Han Li smiled bitterly when he heard this: "What kind of star am I, it's just that I am lucky to have some achievements." ”

Instructor Ma shook his head now and said, "Hey, don't be so presumptuous. Although we are remote, we are still not closed to information from the outside world. We all know your deeds, and many soldiers use you as an example. ”

Han Li shook his head with a smile when he heard Instructor Ma's words, "Then I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint everyone this time." ”

Haha, how could it be. You have to tell the big guy about it this time, we're all your book lovers. Instructor Ma laughed.

It's a pleasure.

While laughing, everyone came to the barracks.

With the continuous investment of the state in recent years, the conditions here have also been greatly improved. From the very beginning of the simple tents, the road has now erected a row of barracks.

Despite this, the conditions here are very difficult. The environment is closed, the natural conditions are harsh, the transportation is inconvenient, the supply of materials is difficult, the cold is hypoxic, and the water is lacking.

But it is under such conditions that the soldiers of the Shenxian Bay outpost have persevered for sixty years, which is really admirable and respectable.

After a short rest, the horse instructor began to show everyone around the barracks. In fact, it is not much different from the barracks they visited before, but the only difference is that there is actually a greenhouse here, which is used to grow some green vegetables in order to improve the food for the soldiers.

Speaking of this greenhouse, there are actually many stories.

It turned out that the outpost did not have a greenhouse, so the vegetables eaten at the outpost were transported from outside. However, due to the inconvenience of the road, the supply of supplies to the company can only come up once a week.

And this is still when the road is relatively smooth, if there is heavy snow blocking the mountain, or the road is damaged, then the supply of supplies will be interrupted.

Moreover, it is indeed a desert, and it is not easy to transport fresh vegetables from far away. Even if it is transported, it can only satisfy the cravings, and the most people usually eat are vegetables such as onions and potatoes that can be stored the most.
