In the cemetery.
"You're back, you're back, you're finally back.”
Looking at the slowly approaching convoy, a white-haired old man's body trembled. His turbid tears rolled down the wrinkles on his face, and his choked voice made people's noses ache." It's been 60 years. I've waited for you for 60 years.”
His brothers were among the heroes who had returned home.
That year.
Their morale was high, and they were in high spirits. They carried simple rifles and sang loud military songs as they stepped out of the country and walked onto the battlefield. They did not expect that after two years and nine months, he would be the only one back in the entire class.
After waiting for sixty years, he thought that he would never see his brothers again in this life. However, he did not expect that before he was about to enter the grave, his brothers would return.
At this moment.
Looking at the old man who was crying like a child, the people who were waiting around were all in tears. The wait of 60 years was so torturous. Fortunately, this old man waited until his brothers returned home.
Bang, bang.
The car door opened, and the soldiers carrying the coffins of the heroes got out of the car and lined up.
Swoosh.
At this moment, everyone took off their hats.
Li Dingtian followed Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei to the front and stood beside the monument.
"A nation with hope cannot be without heroes, and a country with a bright future cannot be without pioneers.”Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei's voice rang out." In the past hundred years, we have experienced too many hardships and hardships, but we have never fallen. It is precisely because we have these heroes and martyrs that we are today. More than 20 million heroes and martyrs have exchanged their lives and blood for us.”
More than 20 million heroes and martyrs.
However, Li Dingtian had seen some information before. Due to the lack of information during the war-torn era, there were only 1.93 million people in the Fire Country who had names that could be tested and were included in the various " Records of Heroes of Martyrs ". Most of the heroes and martyrs were just silently resting in peace and guarding.
"Why do you always say that we like to look back on history?”
Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei raised his voice suddenly." Because we need to inherit the complex and spirit of the heroes and martyrs. As long as the courage and spirit of the heroes and martyrs are still there, we will be able to reassemble into the steel and iron bones and build a new Great Wall with our flesh and blood. It is also because of the inheritance from generation to generation that our nation has been able to stand tall after five thousand years of ups and downs.”
The entire world.
Out of the four ancient civilizations, only the Fire Country still existed.
That was why forgetting history was a betrayal.
Li Dingtian could not help but clench his fists. He suddenly thought of the few women he had met in Eastern Sea City. Many people had been working hard to pass on the legacy, but there were still people who chose to forget it.
"We cannot forget, and we have never forgotten, our heroes and martyrs. No matter where they are, no matter how long it has been, we have always worked hard to bring them home.”Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei looked at the coffins." And today, these heroes and martyrs have returned to their homes after 60 years. The mountains and rivers are safe, and the heroes can rest in peace.”
The voice fell.
Then, the impassioned and majestic national song began to play, echoing between heaven and earth.
Many people were singing along, but as they sang, they couldn't control their tears. At this special time and place, their understanding of the national song was unprecedentedly deep.
The National Anthem stopped.
The entire place was solemn. Everyone lowered their heads slightly and mourned for the heroes. Then, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei, they bowed three times to the heroes.
Bang, bang, bang.
Clear gunshots rang out in unison. Nine gunshots rang out. This was a tribute to the heroes and martyrs. It represented that they would live for a long time. Although the heroes and martyrs had passed away, they would still live in the hearts of the Fire Nation people.
"Awaken!"
Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei's voice sounded again.
Spear soldiers led the way. The rest of the soldiers carried the coffins of the heroes and martyrs as they walked forward. Li Dingtian and the rest split into two groups and followed them slowly. They respectfully sent the coffins of the martyrs to the underground palace for burial.
After that.
Li Dingtian followed Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei and paid respects to the other heroes and martyrs in the cemetery.
He only left when night fell.
They boarded a private plane and returned to the military region.
"I have good news."
Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei told Li Dingtian and the others," Luo Zhengguo's surgery was very successful. Although it will affect his future battles, it will not cause any difficulties in his life. Tomorrow, he will come back under the arrangements of the embassy to continue his treatment.”
Upon hearing this, Li Dingtian and the rest heaved a sigh of relief.
After returning to the Southeast Military Command, Li Dingtian did not stay long. He rushed back to the Iron Fist Regiment overnight and found out that in the past two days, He Chenguang, Wang Yanbing, and Li Erniu had been tricked by Fan Tianlei from Master Kang.
In other words, it was not far from the time when Scorpion would appear at the execution ground.
Because it was very late.
Therefore, Li Dingtian rested in his original dormitory for the night and planned to go to the Wolf Fang Special Combat Brigade the next morning.
