Chapter 246: Remembrance

A few days later......

The victory of Nantianmen marked the beginning of the counteroffensive of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and for some residents living on the west bank, it was considered to be waiting for hope, but most of the people still could not escape the days of dire straits.

In addition to Heshun Town, which is closest to Nantianmen, villages and towns such as Lianhua Township and Daping Township further west are still under Japanese control, and the 114th Wing from Longling is directly stationed in Lianhua Township to confront the Chinese army on Nantianmen.

Zhong Bin led his troops to Nantianmen as he wished, and the 88th and 87th divisions successively moved to Chanda and Heshun Town, west of the Nu River.

These two divisions, together with the 36th Division in the rear, are very famous troops, they are the three of the earliest four German divisions of the Guofu Army, and they are also the first Chinese army to resist the Japanese army and play the prestige of the Chinese people, and now all of them are gathered under the command of the 71st Army.

It is a pity that the 87th and 88th Divisions were basically scrapped in the Battle of Nanjing, and the 36th Division was fought in the Battle of Fujin Mountain to the end, with only more than 800 people left.

At that time, the extremely prestigious German ace card was known as the elite of the elite, but it was slowly lost in the war, and the three aces after supplementation and reorganization were no longer prestigious.

However, although the glory has faded, the framework of the troops is still there, and these three divisions are also the main forces of the 2 brigade and 6 regiments.

A procession of 20,000 or 30,000 people came to Chanda, turning this small town into a military station, and the people were somewhat afraid to go out as usual, because everywhere you could see soldiers wearing steel helmets and carrying rifles shuttling around the town.

Fortunately, the discipline of the soldiers under Zhong Bin's rule was quite strict, and they did not cause much commotion in Chanda, after all, their target was Longling County, 90 kilometers away, and Chanda was just a transit place.

Compared with the 71st Army, which was in full swing, the two meritorious troops of the Nantianmen victory were treated unfairly. Zhong Bin seemed to intend to suppress Master Yu, but the originally promised supplementary group was delayed again and again, as if they had forgotten them, and only let Yu Xiaoqing silently shrink in Chanda and lick his wounds.

Liao Mingyu knew that it was impossible to get any good looks from Zhong Bin, so he had to contact Director Dai through Yu Sifan and ask him to help deal with it, and then call Commander Song at the same time to ask for someone.

Long Wenwen and the others have long been holding back the fire in their stomachs, this bullshit army system is really fucking fucked, and they are treated like air when they win the battle, do you want to bully people like this!?

I couldn't stop being idle and had a few thorns with the dragon, and had several unpleasant clashes with the new soldiers of the 71st Army in the town of Chanda. The fight was fought several times, but it didn't play any role except for being caught by the discipline inspection team and cleaned up.

Liao Mingyu was calm and calm, waiting quietly while organizing troops to repair the bridge, he knew very well the inevitability of the current situation.

Their behavior of not obeying orders and attacking privately must have touched the interests and face of some big people, and even if they won the battle, there were some people who wanted to make them feel bad, and it was normal for them to secretly make them fall into the ground.

Taking advantage of this period of leisure, Liao Mingyu also sorted out the seized materials and equipment, and used Fang Jingyao and Milong's way on the black market to dispose of a large number of weapons.

Part of the money earned was used as military funds, part of it was used for military salaries, and part of it was used to pay the soldiers, as well as the arrangements for the aftermath of those fallen soldiers, and after thinking about it, Liao Mingyu still decided to build a martyr's cemetery on the east bank, which was located on the opposite mountain where the commandos were trained at that time.

It's March, and although it's not too hot, the temperature in western Yunnan is much warmer than in other places at the same time, and if the remains of the soldiers are not disposed of quickly, they will soon decompose.

Therefore, the day after coming down from Nantianmen, he was arranging this matter, and also informed Yu Xiaoqing before building the cemetery, and it was not surprising that the latter expressed his full support and immediately sent a force to assist in the construction of the Sichuan Army Martyrs' Cemetery.

After learning the news, the old scholar in the town also called on a lot of people to come and help, they know how fierce the battle of Nantianmen was, these soldiers died to defend their families and defend the country against the Japanese invaders, so it is reasonable to do their best.

Three days later, all the soldiers who died in the battle were buried here, and the bodies of many soldiers were blown into several sections, and some of them were already in tatters, and some could no longer even tell who they were.

……

More than 5,000 tombs stand quietly on the opposite gate mountain, and the tombstones engraved with names and battle deeds seem to be imprinted with the unwavering faith and determination of each of them.

They are all iron-blooded men who sacrificed their lives for the country, and their bravery and fearlessness must be remembered forever by future generations!

In front of the martyr's tomb, the team of thousands of people from the Sichuan Army and Yu Division almost filled half the mountain, and every soldier lowered his head to remember his deceased comrades.

Countless Zenda people also gathered here, many with tears in their eyes, holding pine and cypress branches in their hands to remember these heroic souls who died in battle.

The pines and cypresses on both sides swayed gently with the breeze blowing through from time to time, as if they were quietly mourning for the martyrs, and as if they were guarding the martyrs who were sleeping in the ground, everything seemed so calm.

The tragic and bleak atmosphere infected everyone present, but at this moment, the two troops were no longer separated from each other, and they used the same way to send their comrades on their last journey.

Life or death may have been predestined. The dead are like this, and the living are silent for this. Silence is the greatest respect for the dead.

"All have, salute!"

After three minutes of silence, Liao Mingyu and Yu Xiaoqing, who were standing at the front, solemnly raised their right hands.

Brush!!!

But at this moment, everyone gave a military salute to the front with a solemn face.

"Ready, put!"

"Boom, boom, ......!"

The seven cannons placed at the foot of the mountain fired three salvos, and the deafening sound of artillery fire resounded in the sky, making the most solemn consolation for these martyrs.

"The wind and clouds are rising, the mountains and rivers are moving, the Whampoa army is strong, and the revolutionary heroes are loyal. Jin Ge Iron Horse, a hundred battles on the battlefield, and a pioneer inside and outside. Sweep vertically and horizontally, revive China, and be invincible ......"

An army building song slowly sounded from the mouths of the soldiers, and the tragic and passionate singing floated on the opposite mountain, which was the last tribute of all the soldiers present to their comrades!

……

"Master Yu, do you regret doing this?"

On the way down the mountain, Liao Mingyu and Yu Xiaoqing sat in the same jeep, and after a series of things, there seemed to be a rare friendship between the two.

"You mean this counterattack on the South Heavenly Gate?" Yu Xiaoqing turned her head and asked.

Liao Mingyu didn't speak, smiled and nodded, and the former's actions during this time also impressed him.

"Just do it, there's nothing to regret, Yu is not an afterthought."

Yu Xiaoqing's gaze turned to the distance and said unhurriedly, but the expression on his face was full of worry.

For this matter, he drove away Tang Ji, who had watched him grow up, and turned against his father, although it was an impulsive move, but it was enough to prove the determination in his heart.

It's just that the result of the matter is not satisfactory, Zhong Bin's indifference and his father's anger make him feel even more pressure, as if they deliberately want to teach themselves a lesson, they turn a deaf ear to their later requests, let alone reward, and there is no normal soldier supplement.

But this also made the arrogant Yu Xiaoqing's heart full of dissatisfaction, and he won the victory, but he was suppressed, which is angry for anyone.

"Captain Liao, did you say that this matter was forgotten by the superiors like this?" After thinking about it, Yu Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, things will take a turn for the better, and it can't take the credit that deserves." Saying that, Liao Mingyu handed over a telegram: "This is a telegram from Commander Song in the morning, take a look." ”

Yu Xiaoqing took it suspiciously and looked at it carefully, but the content of the telegram surprised him greatly.

Liao Mingyu smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it to himself, he saw a trace of worry and rebellion on Yu Xiaoqing's face that was full of joy and anger.

Although Yu Xiaoqing is a bit stubborn and self-serving, and he is the eldest young master of a warlord family, it can be said that he has a lot of stinky problems of soldiers in the old era.

But in terms of serving the country and actively resisting Japan, it is remarkable, no matter what his purpose is in the end, at least it is better than those bastards who are drunk and dreaming of death and do nothing.

Perhaps, I can help him in some aspects, and I think it will be a favor for this battle......
