My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 561
early morning
Back Mountain of Heihe Base…

In front of a tomb made of blue bricks, a dozen people in military uniforms were standing here. They took off their hats one after another, with solemn and solemn expressions, as if they were paying homage to someone who was buried here.

If you look carefully, there are not many people who came, but they are all with high seniority in the army, such as Meng Fanle, Bu La, Hao Xichuan, Xing Fuquan from the 200th Division, Li Liansheng from the Heavy Artillery Brigade, Hong Mu from the Armored Brigade, Yuan Li...almost all the top or second-in-commands of the major troops came, and even Fan Shaozeng, who went to the front line to condolences, was among the crowd.

In addition to the military personnel, Agui from Nanyang and several of his subordinates were also among them. Their eyes were moist, they were depressed and choked with sobs, and they dared not look at the man kneeling in front of the monument, as if they were deeply regretting their own incompetence. Deep self-blame.

The tomb is unpretentious, without a majestic stone platform guardrail, but a few cypress trees were planted around it as companions. A marble tombstone in front of the tomb is engraved with the words "Gu Xiankao Fang Gong The Tomb of Lord Chongen!"

"call……"

After lighting the cigarette, Liao Mingyu took a long puff, and the smoke he exhaled merged with the morning mist.

He stood silently behind an old pine tree, quietly looked at Fang Jingyao who was kneeling in front of the tombstone not far in front, and shook his head helplessly.The drizzle in the wind added a bit of sadness to it.

Not long ago, after the mass execution in Singapore, Shou Yinian in the temple said that based on his past friendship, Mr. Fang's body was not pushed into the mass grave like the other dead, but was prepared to find a place for burial alone under his instruction.

However, the officer in charge of this matter found it troublesome, thinking that it would be an insult to the soldiers to bury an unpleasant businessman who was against the imperial army. You must know that their soldiers would not be treated like this when they were killed in battle.

So this mentally unbalanced devil decided to dig a hole in a random place outside the city and bury it hastily, so he didn't bother to build a grave for him or erect a monument, and he didn't even plan to use the coffin.

Unexpectedly, all of this was discovered by the underground personnel secretly collecting information. Agui, who escaped, did not leave Singapore. Instead, he gathered all his hands and prepared to find a chance to take back Mr. Fang's body. Bringing it back can be regarded as an explanation to the young master. .

Later, with the help of the Nanyang Intelligence Station, Agui and others went to the outskirts to intercept this group of Japanese soldiers, successfully snatched the old man's body, and went to Burma through a secret communication line on the water.

It's a pity that the weather in Southeast Asia is doomed that the remains cannot be preserved for a long time. As soon as they arrived at the coastline of Siam, the serious corruption of the remains had to stop them. Even if they used a lot of ice and preservatives, they could not stop the stench. The smell was clearly audible even through the shroud.

Agui knows very well that if this goes on, even the body of the Burmese master will become extremely unbearable. If left alone, it will be more like a kind of blasphemy. He couldn't bear it, so he had to report the news to the people thousands of miles away Fang Jingyao finally decided to be cremated halfway after getting approval, and then continue northward with the ashes.

Originally, Liao Mingyu was going to help his father have a grand burial, and then announce his condolences to the entire army. After all, Fang Chongen's identity and deeds are worthy of dignity.

But Fang Jingyao refused. He just buried his father simply and didn't make too many obituaries. In short, everything was kept simple and he didn't want to make it too complicated.

Because he knew that his father was an unconstrained person, and he didn't like too much ostentation, and he wanted to keep it simple, and perhaps the spirit in heaven would be more relieved.

"Junzuo, we...?" Ding Xiaoer came to Liao Mingyu's side and asked in a low voice.

Now the funeral is over, because of the busy military affairs on the front line, the generals who came to express their condolences left in a hurry after offering their condolences, while Fang Jingyao was still kneeling in front of the tomb, along with Agui's servants of the Fang family.

"You guys go down first, just wait for me at the foot of the mountain." Liao Mingyu stubbed out his cigarette casually, and walked straight to Fang Jingyao after explaining.

After seeing the visitor, Agui and the others quickly stood up and saluted, while Liao Mingyu nodded and waved his hand slightly to signal the other party to leave first.

Agui was a little surprised, and then looked at Fang Jingyao who was still kneeling beside him, and probably understood what the other party meant, so he hurriedly greeted the others, and walked away silently...

After the people walked away, Liao Mingyu picked up the incense on the stage, lit it on the candle, held it in front of him, bowed respectfully and knocked his head three times.

"Brother Fang, please take care of your health..." He inserted the incense into the censer, looked at the haggard face of the other party, and said something with concern.

"Don't worry, Junzuo. A humble job has its own measure. Now that the big thing is over, I can return to the army tomorrow and urge the third division to advance south as soon as possible..." Fang Jingyao turned his head and replied unhurriedly.

"Hey... there are no outsiders here, why are you saying those polite words?"

Patting the other party on the shoulder, Liao Mingyu said casually: "There is no rush for the frontline troops. You can rest at the military headquarters for a while. I have other arrangements later."

"Could it be that Junzuo no longer believes in my ability...?"

Fang Jingyao immediately frowned, and in a state of turmoil, he spoke abruptly. Subconsciously, he felt that Liao Mingyu could no longer hold an important position in the frontline army because of his father.

The father was executed in public, and the Fang family was almost destroyed. If you want to say that you don't care about this blood feud, only animals can do it.Fang Jingyao has been suppressing the riots in his heart because he knows not to act impulsively, and everything must be based on the overall situation.

This was also when Nay Pyi Taw was attacked some time ago. Even though his heart was twisted at that time, he insisted on commanding the offensive mission of the troops, and did not affect the entire battle plan because of his emotions, but this did not mean that he did not care!
Now Fang Jingyao just wants to return to the front line and command the troops to continue the bloody battle with the Japanese army to the end. He needs to use more Japanese blood to pay for the crimes he committed. Only in this way can he comfort his father's spirit in heaven.

Seeing Fang Jingyao who suddenly lost his composure, Liao Mingyu was also very surprised, but after thinking about it, he was relieved. Who can maintain absolute rationality at such a time?
Fang Jingyao is not an ordinary person either. Soon he calmed down and realized that something was wrong with his words. He immediately lowered his head and changed his explanation: "Don't blame Junzuo. The humble job is eager for a while, and the offense is hopeful for Junzuo."

Looking at Fang Jingyao with a complicated expression, Liao Mingyu also sighed helplessly: "Brother Fang, you are worrying too much. In fact, I understand everything, but..."

Then he looked at the tombstone in front of him and said, "Just don't say some things here, let Mr. Fang sleep well, and let's talk about it in another place."
