After a grand and touching condolence and farewell ceremony was held at the foot of Taihang Mountain. People responded to General Zhenbei's call, wiped away their tears, and smiled at the new life and beginning. For those who have passed away, the fact that those who remain can live happily is their greatest consolation.

After soliciting opinions extensively, the Zhenbei General's Office decided to organize two collective tomb sweeping activities every year in the future, respectively on the Qingming Festival in the first half of the year and the Chung Yeung Festival in the second half of the year. In the future, some major group visits and oath-taking ceremonies will be arranged in the Taihang Martyrs' Garden. Taihang Martyrs' Garden should be further expanded, and in accordance with Zhao Xing's requirements, a large-scale public place integrating forest parks and cemeteries will be built.

The martyrs need to be remembered and respected, but there is no need to make the martyrs' cemetery gloomy, so that people dare not go up the mountain on weekdays. In fact, if the people always feel that the deceased accompany and protect them, this kind of emotion is more lasting and intimate than simple remembrance and taboo.

Zhao Xing also envisioned building a large military museum in the Taihang Martyrs Cemetery, which will preserve all the letters exchanged between the various armies during the war, the weapons used in battle, the armor, the items captured by the enemy, and even the large-scale battlefield sketches and portraits with historical commemorative significance, for future generations to admire and visit.

In order to make the collection in the military museum more diverse and rich, Zhao Xing also racked his brains to recall the emblems, medals, commemorative medals, seniority medals, epaulettes, military emblems, cap badges and other symbols that symbolize honor or distinguish between military arms and ranks and other symbols used by the armies of various countries in the previous generation, and then drew them one by one on paper, invited the most famous painters and design masters of the Ordnance Research Institute in Bingzhou, and instructed everyone to design a complete set of various military badges and logos, and immediately carried out mass production to prepare for the upcoming celebration meeting.

On 15 February, in a newly completed large indoor venue in Crouching Tiger City, combat heroes and meritorious soldiers from all armies of the Zhenbei Army gathered together, all sitting in the auditorium with beaming faces, waiting for the celebration and award ceremony to begin.

The arrangement in the auditorium is very similar to the auditorium of the government and the military in later generations, and it is divided into two parts, both on and off the stage, which can be used not only to host meetings, but also to conduct presentations. A monogram with yellow characters on a red background that reads "Zhenbei Regiment Celebration Conference and Award Ceremony" is straight under the beam above the front desk, which looks warm and atmospheric.

Behind the long conference table placed on the stage, there are nine high-backed chairs, indicating that there will be nine people presenting awards to the soldiers today. Some people speculate that it is the eight commanders of the Zhenbei Army plus the Zhenbei generals, and some people speculate that it is the four generals, the four military divisions, and Zhao Xing. As for which nine people are exactly, because the meeting has not officially begun, so everyone does not know.

"Playing music!" Dian Wei, who was in charge of maintaining order in the venue, stood at the back of the auditorium and gave orders to the musicians in the attic on the second floor. Then, an impassioned melody sounded from the second floor of the auditorium, which made the originally somewhat noisy venue suddenly quiet.

Listening to it, the melody of this piece of music is subdued and frustrated, and the heavy drum beat seems to keep knocking on the hearts of everyone present, encouraging everyone to immediately pick up the weapons in their hands and rush to the battlefield desperately to fight to the death with the enemy. The melody of this piece was invited by Zhao Xing to many musicians, who hummed in his mouth, and then the musicians composed and composed the music at the same time. Every rhythm and note was played and scrutinized repeatedly until Zhao Xing was completely satisfied.

So, which song did Zhao Xing steal from later generations that would make the warrior's blood boil? The answer is TheMass by Era. This song was mistaken by many netizens for the battle song of the 1st Panzer Division of the German SS "SS Blitzkrieg Force is Forward".

TheMass is based on Carmina Burana's poem, which is said to have been adapted from the song of the 1st SS Panzer Division during World War II, so the song is so similar that it is thought to be the Nazi military song. TheMass is magical, giving people unlimited imagination, sometimes like the mighty sea, sometimes like the majestic mountains, sometimes like a gale, sometimes like lightning piercing the sky.

After the end of a piece of music, Zhao Xing led his eight military commanders to enter the venue majestically wearing straight wool coats.

"All stand up, put on your hats!" Dian Wei's loud voice sounded again, "Welcome General Zhenbei and the eight army commanders to the stage!"

"Uh-hmm!" The soldiers seated in the audience got up and stood in the shortest possible time, and raised their already straight waists even more. After Zhao Xing took the lead on the rostrum, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Lu Bu, Li Jinwu, Xu Shu, Tai Shici and others who followed him also stepped onto the rostrum with a solemn face and sat down one after another.

On Zhao Xing's right, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Li Jinwu, and Xu Shu sat from near to far, and on the left, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Lü Bu, and Tai Shici sat from near to far. From the arrangement of this seat, it can be seen that the seats of the eight army commanders are arranged in the order of surrender and annexation of states. This arrangement is the most convenient, so that everyone basically has no superfluous ideas.

"All sit down, take off your hats!" Dian Wei ordered again, and thousands of soldiers roared, and all sat upright on their seats.

"Next, I announce the official start of the Zhenbei Army Celebration Conference and Award Ceremony! First, I would like to ask Commander Xu to read out the post-war summary of the Battle of Bingzhou!" Zhao Xing's sonorous and powerful voice began to echo in the auditorium.

Among the eight army commanders, Xu Shu was the most literate, so the task of reading the post-war summary was given to Xu Shu.

After Xu Shu read out the summary of the battle concisely and clearly, Zhao Xing said again: "Second, please ask Commander Guan to read out the list of battalion and company units that have won honorary titles!"

"Third, please ask Commander Xu to read out the list of individuals who have won the title of Battle Hero!"

"Fourth, please ask Commander Zhao to read out the list of individuals who have won the first-class meritorious service in Bingzhou!"

"Fifth, please ask Commander Zhang to read out the list of individuals who have won the second-class meritorious service in Bingzhou!"

......

"Eighth, please ask Commander Taishi to read out the groups from all walks of life that have won the commemorative medal for the defense of the state!"

"Item Ninth, I will announce the list of generals who will be promoted to positions and ranks!" When it was Zhao Xing's turn to announce the list, the conference actually proceeded to the ninth item, which shows the grandeur of this grand event.

"Item 10, please come to the stage to receive medals, letters of appointment and various honorary logos!" Zhao Xing continued after reading out the most important promotion order.

"Playing music!" Dian Wei's voice sounded again, and the stirring music just now sounded again.

After half an hour, the units or individuals who have won various awards and commendations have finished receiving the awards, and at this time, the faces of the nine bigwigs on the stage have already cramped with smiles, and the hands of the awards are weak.

"The last item of the conference, please all stand and sing this song with me!" Zhao Xing stood up first, and then gave a loud order.

Then Zhao Xing led the singing, and the soldiers on and off the stage followed Zhao Xingxue to sing a sentence, the melody of the song was exactly the passionate melody that everyone had heard twice just now, but when it was paired with specific lyrics, it was even more magnificent and shocking.

The specific lyrics of this military song are as follows:

The sky is covered with deep dark black clouds, and a great battle is coming.

Tears rolled across the faces of his wife and children, and he was right behind him.

In the distance, the footsteps of enemy soldiers could be heard, and the earth trembled.

It is time to defend justice, and the blood is already surging.

The last leaves on the dry branches were knocked off by the cold wind.

The lightning pierced the sky, tearing through the dark curtain in the distance, and behold, it was the heroic and fearless Zhenbei Army advancing!

Whether it is in the face of strong winds or rainstorms, or frost smiles at us;

The hot day, the cold night, the dust, we enjoy this fun, we enjoy this fun!

Our horses neighed and galloped, setting off a storm.

When the enemy gradually shows its trace, we bravely and fearlessly swear to die!

The value of our lives is to fight for the glorious Zhenbei Army!

It is the highest honor to die for the merger of states!

With a whistling rain of arrows, we rushed towards the enemy like lightning.

Move forward with the robes, fight side by side, and leap on the path to victory!
