Chapter 246 Remembering
In a few days...

The two sides of the Nujiang River were peaceful for the time being. The victory at Nantianmen marked the beginning of the counterattack by the Huaxia Expeditionary Force. For some residents living on the west bank, it was hope, but most of the people still could not get out of the dire straits.

In addition to Heshun Town, which is the nearest to Nantianmen, villages and towns such as Lianhua Township and Daping Township further west are still under the control of the Japanese. The 114th Regiment from Longling is directly stationed in Lianhua Township, which is on the same side as Nantianmen. The Huaxia armies confronted each other.

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

These two divisions, together with the 36th Division in the rear, are very well-known troops. They are the third of the four earliest German weapon divisions of the National Army, and they are also the first Chinese army to fight against the Japanese army and show the prestige of the Chinese people. Now they are all gathered in Under the command of the 71st Army.

It's a pity that the 87th and 88th divisions were basically destroyed in the defense of Nanjing, and the 36th division was defeated in the battle of Fujin Mountain. In the end, there were only more than 800 people left.

The famous German weapon trump card was known as the elite among the elite, but it was slowly lost in the war, and the three trump cards after supplementation and reorganization no longer regained their prestige.

However, although the glory has faded, the framework of the army is still there. These three divisions are also the main force of the 2nd Brigade and 6th Regiment.

A team of 3 to [-] people came to Zenda, turning this small town into a military station. The people were somewhat afraid and dared not go out as usual, because soldiers wearing helmets and holding rifles could be seen everywhere Shuttle around town.

Fortunately, the discipline of the soldiers under Zhong Bin's rule was fairly strict, and did not cause too much commotion in Zenda. After all, their goal was Longling County, 90 kilometers away, and Zenda was just a transit point.

Compared with the 71st Army in full swing, those two troops who contributed to the victory at the Nantianmen Gate were treated unfairly.Zhong Bin seemed to intend to suppress Master Yu, but the supplementary group that he had promised had been delayed again and again, as if they had been forgotten, leaving Yu Xiaoqing silently huddled in Zenda and licking his wounds.

Liao Mingyu knew that it was impossible to get any good looks from Zhong Bin, so he had no choice but to contact Director Dai through Yu Sifan and ask him to help him, and at the same time, he called Commander Song to ask for help.

Long Wenwen and others have long held back their anger. This shit army system is so fucking fucked up. Even after winning a battle, people treat it like air. Why don't you bully people like this! ?
Yaoma and Milong couldn't stay idle, and had several unpleasant conflicts with the new soldiers of the 71st Army in Zenda Town.There were fights several times, but it didn't help except being caught by the discipline inspection team and cleaned up.

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

Their behavior of disobeying orders and attacking privately must have touched the interests and face of some important people. Even if they won the battle, some people would make it difficult for them. It is normal to make trouble secretly.

Taking advantage of this leisure time, Liao Mingyu organized the seized materials and equipment, and used Fang Jingyao and Milong's methods on the black market to dispose of a large number of weapons.

Part of the money earned was used as military funds and part of the military pay for the soldiers, as well as the funeral arrangements for those soldiers who died in battle. After thinking about it, Liao Mingyu decided to build a martyrs cemetery on the east bank, where the commandos were trained at that time. On the opposite side of the mountain.

It is now March and although the weather is not too hot, the temperature in western Yunnan is much higher than other places at the same time. If the remains of the soldiers cannot be disposed of quickly, they will rot soon.

So the day after he came down from Nantianmen, he was making arrangements for this matter, and he also notified Yu Xiaoqing before the construction of the cemetery. Unsurprisingly, the latter expressed his full support and immediately sent a troop to assist in the construction of the Sichuan Army Martyrs Cemetery.

After the old scholar in the town heard the news, he also called on many people to come and help. They knew how fierce the battle at Nantianmen was. These soldiers all died defending their homes and the country against the Japanese invaders. Emotion and reason should also work hard.

Three days later, all the soldiers who died in the battle were buried here. The corpses of many soldiers were blown into several sections, and they were already in dilapidated condition. Some of them couldn't even tell who they were.

……

More than 5000 graves stand quietly on the opposite mountain, and the tombstones engraved with names and battle deeds seem to be branded with the unshakable belief 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 tomb of the martyrs, a team of thousands of people from the Sichuan Army Corps and the Yu Division almost filled half of the mountain, and every soldier lowered his head in memory of his dead comrades.

Countless Zenda people also gathered here, and many of them were full of tears. They held pine and cypress branches in their hands to commemorate these heroic spirits who died in battle.

The pines and cypresses on both sides swayed gently with the breeze blowing from time to time, as if silently mourning for the martyrs, and as if guarding the martyrs who were sleeping underground, everything seemed so peaceful.

The tragic and desolate atmosphere infected everyone present, but at this moment, the two troops were no longer separated from each other, and they used the same method to send their comrades off for the last time.

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.

"Everyone has it, salute!"

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

brush! ! !
But at this moment, everyone gave a solemn military salute to the front.

"Get ready, let go!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom...!"

The seven cannons placed at the foot of the mountain fired three rounds of salvo, and the deafening sound of gunfire resounded through the sky, offering the most solemn condolence to the martyrs who died.

What is a comrade-in-arms, carrying a gun together and enjoying prosperity together, this kind of feeling is beyond the understanding of ordinary people. The two little guys, Ding Xiaoer and Yangdanzi, stood in front of the tomb of Doubing and were already sobbing.

Before the war, they went to break their virginity together, and discussed with playful faces that they would find a wife for the youngest Ding Xiaoer after the war.But now...

"The wind and clouds are rising, the mountains and rivers are moving, the Huangpu army is powerful, and the revolutionary warriors are loyal. The gold and iron horses, on the battlefield, are the vanguard of fighting against the outside world. Sweeping across the country, rejuvenating China, invincible..."

An army building song slowly sounded from the mouths of the soldiers, and the tragic and passionate singing wafted on the opposite mountain. This was the last tribute to the comrades-in-arms of all the soldiers present!

……

"Mr. Yu, do you regret doing this?"

On the way down the mountain, Liao Mingyu and Yu Xiaoqing were sitting in the same jeep. After a series of events, there seemed to be a rare friendship between them.

"You mean this counterattack against Nantianmen?" Yu Xiaoqing turned her head and asked.

Liao Mingyu didn't speak, but nodded with a smile. What the former had done during this period also impressed him.

"Just do it. There is nothing to regret. Yu is not an afterthought."

Yu Xiaoqing turned his eyes 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 since he was a child, and turned against his father. Although this was an impulsive move, it was enough to prove the determination in his heart.

It's just that the result of the matter was unsatisfactory. Zhong Bin's indifference and his father's anger made him feel even more pressured. They seemed to deliberately want to teach themselves a lesson, turning a deaf ear to their later requests, not to mention rewards, even normal None of the soldiers replenished.

But this also made the proud Yu Xiaoqing full of dissatisfaction. He won the victory but was suppressed, which would make anyone angry.

"Captain Liao, do you think this matter has been forgotten by our superiors?" After thinking about it, Yu Xiaoqing couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, things will turn around, and it can't get away with the credit it deserves." Liao Mingyu handed over a telegram: "This is the telegram from Commander Song in the morning, please take a look."

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

Liao Mingyu smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it on his own, he saw a hint of worry and rebellion on Yu Xiaoqing's face full of emotions and anger.

Although Yu Xiaoqing is a bit headstrong and the eldest son of a warlord family, it can be said that he has a lot of bad habits of soldiers in the old days.

But he is remarkable in his eagerness to serve the country and actively fight against Japan. No matter what his final purpose is, at least he is better than those bastards who are drunk and dream of death and do nothing.

Maybe, I can help him in some ways, so let's treat it as a favor for this battle...
