Unlike the detachment of Raul's team, the People's Salvation Army was imposing, although it did not dare to continue the pursuit. However, Tsuneishi and Hal did not expect that a counter-charge to pave the way for retreat would cause a large-scale rout of the enemy in this era.

After Tsuneishi and Hal brought the people back to Chel Town, the excitement of the battle faded, and when the personnel were counted, it was found that although the enemy had been defeated in the battle, the loss of the People's Salvation Army itself was also very serious during the battle.

The first battalion of the two regiments has basically been disabled, and the second battalion has also suffered serious damage. It can be said that this time Hale and Tsuneishi took people out, counting the sacrifices and serious injuries and attrition, the People's Salvation Army lost at least three battalions of combat effectiveness, that is, the strength of a regiment.

The People's Salvation Army, from the Military Commission to ordinary soldiers, is very heavy. Even the residents of Chel Town, who had just been captured by the People's Salvation Army for a few months, were very sad. Because the People's Salvation Army has long maintained good discipline and advocates helping others outside of training, it has a good relationship with the residents of Chel.

The wounded went to the hospital as soon as possible, and it seems that Li Xueyuan is busy now. These wounded will be a valuable force in the future. Veterans who have been on the battlefield and have been tempered are always much more valuable than recruits.

Due to the serious attrition, the People's Salvation Army also had to start a new round of conscription, but this time it really took time. But fortunately, there is still some good news, that is, after the scale of the arsenal has been formed and the production has gradually moved on the right track, the problem of the semi-automatic rifles of the three regiments, that is, Yan Xiaophantom regiment, has been solved. In other words, the current Yan Xiaophantom Regiment is already fully equipped with semi-automatic rifles.

The bodies of the sacrificed soldiers were also pulled back from the battlefield by the People's Salvation Army. Immediately after returning, a deep pit was dug and a funeral was held for these PLA fighters. At the funeral, the Military Commission came forward and invited the families of these soldiers of the People's Salvation Army. Lin Qiang read a eulogy for these soldiers who died in the People's Salvation Army.

At this time, it is the middle of the year, the temperature is high in the middle of summer, but it happens to rain in the sky. In the rain, everyone was solemn. Lin Qiang did not stand on a pre-erected high platform, but went to the edge of the pit to look at the corpses of these young soldiers.

Some of these soldiers of the People's Salvation Army have already sacrificed their young lives when they are only teenagers. The rest of the military commissariat also came, and they were all silent.

When they crossed over, they expected that they might face all kinds of cruelty in this world, but they didn't expect that cruelty would come so often and so quickly.

From Huey's massacre, to the smooth capture of Chel, to the current battle. The People's Salvation Army finally understood, or the traversers of Lin Qiang and his party finally understood that every step they take now is dripping with blood, a bleak reality, and an abyss that will never be recovered if they step on one wrong step.

But this tragedy again and again finally made everyone firm and strong.

Lin Qiang turned his head and looked at the families of the sacrificed soldiers of the People's Salvation Army who were tearful or silent behind him, and looked at the soldiers of the People's Salvation Army who were standing solemnly in the distance.

Tsuneishi was also wearing a military uniform, and standing there, he did not choose to stand on the high platform. It's not just because it's raining today, but the temporary speaker installed by Hou Pai may not be very effective when it is watered. The main reason is that he does not want to be high, but wants to stand with the masses.

I have to say that at this point, Lin Qiang and Tsuneishi's thoughts are completely identical.

Tsuneishi finally opened his mouth, he stood there upright, his head held high, almost using all the strength of his body, and shouted hoarsely: "Salute!" ”

For a moment, there was only the sound of muddy water being trampled on, and then I saw all the soldiers of the first and second regiments of the People's Salvation Army standing upright in place, clenching their legs, and then raising their hands to salute. At this moment, Yan Xiaohuan's third regiment had come down from the mine to help defend the front line of Chelzhen. Today, the mine is left with only the most basic security forces, which are still standing guard between the various government units.

Immediately after, Tsuneishi shouted again: "Shoot!" ”

All the soldiers of the three regiments raised their semi-automatic rifles in their hands. Yes, the production of military factories today already meets the needs of all soldiers for semi-automatic rifles. Military factories at this time were capable of producing at least a hundred semi-automatic rifles a day. By the way, there will be some new gadgets produced, but that's for another time.

The soldiers raised their rifles and pointed diagonally 45 degrees to the sky, and then, with a command from Tsuneishi, everyone loaded at the same time, pulled the trigger, and fired their guns.

This burst of gunfire resounded in the sky.

Then, in the eulogy session, Lin Qiang picked up the manuscript in his hand and found that the manuscript had already been wet by the rain and had lost its effect. He simply threw the manuscript away, and then shouted to the people and the People's Salvation Army.

The families of the victims, plus the remaining soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the People's Salvation Army, plus the members of the Military Commission standing in the front row, there were more than 2,000 people present. It stands to reason that there are more than 2,000 people, and the back row is definitely inaudible. But this is not the case.

More than 2,000 people, whether they were the soldiers of the People's Salvation Army, the families in the front row, and the members of the Military Commission, all stood in unison, silent.

Yes, in addition to Lin Qiang's roaring voice, only the sound of rain could be heard at the scene.

Lin Qiang opened his mouth and said slowly: "Everyone, I originally prepared a manuscript, which I wrote overnight yesterday. But today, when I saw the corpses of these sacrificed People's Salvation Army soldiers, I dismissed the idea of reading the manuscript, just because they were much braver than I thought. ”

Lin Qiang looked at the soldiers in the distance in front of him, who were silent in the rain, and shouted, "Can you hear clearly?" Hands raised. ”

In the rain, one by one the warriors raised their hands.

Lin Qiang nodded, motioned for them to put their hands down, and then continued: "I listened to Captain Hal and Commander Tsuneishi tell me. They faced the sorcerer guard of the eldest prince of the Hussein family, and at the cost of their own lives, they opened a large magic gap on their behalf, in exchange for us standing here safely today, without having to run for our lives. They died for the ideals in their hearts, they faced the nobles, they were able to fight bravely, even if they were magicians, they were not afraid! ”

"Some people may question, how many magicians can a noble son bring? How many magicians can you bring? I don't know much about the size of this magic force in this world, but if we talk about the number of people, we can talk about it. We went to attack the enemy's warriors at night, a total of 1,200 men. And the enemy's troops, how many of them? ”

Lin Qiang looked around, raised a slap high, stretched out five fingers and said, "Five thousand!" That's 5,000 people. Dear fathers and fellow villagers, the soldiers of the People's Salvation Army, our troops, facing more than four times our own troops, facing fifty nobles who oppressed you before, and facing the eldest son of the ruling family in this province. They have routed the enemy, driven away the nobles who used to ride on the heads of our civilians who don't know how to, and left them like lost dogs! It can be said that they died well! ”

Lin Qiang wiped his face without knowing whether it was rain or tears, and then continued: "There is such a saying in my hometown, that is, people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Those who have been a blessing to the people have died, and to help those who have been a blessing to the people have died, and this is lighter than a feather. And our soldiers of the People's Salvation Army, they are to resist the oppression of those nobles who know magic, to defend the fruits of our previous victories that we have won so hard, and to protect our paradise without magic, nobles, and oppression, and their deaths are heavier than Mount Tai! ”

Everyone present was moved. Before Lin Qiang crossed over, he taught Chinese, and eloquence was naturally his strength, but I have to say that today, even if what he said was a little logically confused, even if he didn't know what to say according to the script, he was always sincere.

And the families of these people who have saved the people, most of them have little culture, and so are the soldiers of the people's salvation army, they can only feel the most sincere emotions. No matter how beautiful what you say, seeing that you have no feelings, they will not believe it, let alone listen. However, when your feelings are there, sincere and sincere, even if your words are not beautiful enough, they can still feel it.

At the end of the memorial service, there was a collective laying of flowers, and then the families said their final goodbyes at the grave of the soldiers. Until it was getting late, there were still family members who did not want to leave.

After the memorial service, in the name of the Military Committee of the People's Salvation Army, they sent pensions to each family and a large bag of food. Now because of the town of Chel, the People's Salvation Army has a business and tax revenue. In addition, after receiving the materials of the security regiment in Tyre, they have obtained a large amount of currency, food and other resources, so it is said that the People's Salvation Army is now asking for money and food.

The generous bereavement allowance also warmed the hearts of the families of the sacrificed soldiers of the People's Salvation Army, and even more reassured the hearts of other soldiers of the People's Salvation Army. Because they know that even if they die, as long as the People's Salvation Army is on one day and the Military Commission is on one day, their families will be compassionate and cared for, and they will naturally feel more at ease.

At the same time, Tsuneishi and Hal made a review at the meeting of the Military Commission.

Yes, that's right, we have to review the victory, because the losses of the troops this time are really much greater than imagined.

The People's Salvation Army, which had just been established, directly reimbursed one-third of its troops, and the situation was even more difficult in the large-scale Hussein family counterattack that might come in the future.
