In front.
The shore of the port was packed with people.
The entire Southern Fleet Command must have come to welcome them.
At this moment, Lin Sanbao, Li Kaiming, and the others felt a surge of warmth in their hearts. Their hard work and fighting had not been forgotten. Everything was worth it.
Wuuuu.
All the warships docked at the port honked their horns in unison, and the long whistle echoed between heaven and earth.
Just like that, a few ships slowly docked.
Yang Dingtian led his men out of the command room.
Everyone saw it.
The few warships were covered with traces of gunfire. Including Yang Dingtian, everyone was injured. They were all wrapped in bandages. A tragic aura assaulted their faces.
Without a doubt, this was a battle that would be recorded in the history of world naval warfare.
Why?
Small boats against large ships, sinking three ships and capturing one. The first boarding battle in modern naval history broke out.
However, this victory was also exchanged with the blood and lives of these soldiers.
Swoosh.
As Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan raised his hand to salute, everyone raised their right hand and saluted the returning hero.
"Salute."
Following Yang Dingtian's order, Lin Sanbao, Li Kaiming, and the others saluted back.
Following that, Yang Dingtian took a step forward and said loudly," Reporting to Comrade Commander, the 681st Formation of the Fire Country's Southern Squadron has completely annihilated the invading enemy fleet. They have completed their mission and have returned with 278 people expected and 258 people actually present. Please give us your instructions."”
Whoosh.
Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice," Thank you for your hard work. Now, bring Hero home."”
"Yes."
He turned around.
Yang Dingtian looked at Lin Sanbao and the others behind him." Bring the brothers home."”
"Yes."
A group of people immediately turned around and returned to the cabin. They lifted the bodies of the deceased soldiers and slowly went ashore. They carefully placed them into the military coffins that had been prepared long ago. Then, a bright national flag gently covered them.
This was a soldier.
When I leave, I wear red flowers on my body, and when I return, I wear the national flag to protect my body.
In this world, there was no such thing as peace. Everything was just someone silently carrying a burden forward. Most of the time, soldiers carried the most burden.
Swoosh, swoosh.
Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan and the others took off their hats and looked at the heroes who were sleeping.
They were still very young.
If they were ordinary people, they might be able to act coquettishly in front of their parents, but because they wore military uniforms, they shouldered the burden of their country.
This?
When their eyes fell on Yang Dingtian, Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan and the others 'faces changed again. Their eyes could not help but widen.
What did they see?
Yang Dingtian was holding a wooden box in his hand. There were only a few pieces of charred bones and some fragments inside. There was not even a trace of flesh and blood.
"Why are there only these left?" Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan looked at Yang Dingtian.
"Reporting to the commander, he is the acting squad leader of my 681 boat cooking squad, Zhou Dong. At that time, the auxiliary cabin of my boat was shot, and seawater surged in. The leakage valve could not stop it at all.”
"He used his own body to block the way and even used a wooden stick to support himself. Not long after, a fire broke out in the auxiliary cabin, and he did not come out.”
Yang Dingtian lowered his head and looked at the charred bones in the box." After we kill those ingrates, we'll go over there.。。He only found these few bones, and there was a black figure on the wall beside the bullet hole.”
Instantly.
Everyone present could not help but tremble.
Watching the fire devour them bit by bit, watching death descend second by second, how painful was this? How many people could endure it?
Moreover, he was only the class leader of the kitchen squad. Under such circumstances, no one would say anything if he left. However, for the sake of victory, he chose to stay in Inferno Hell, not giving up until the end of his life.
Why is it so hot? How could the Huang Clan not fall after five thousand years?
It was because there were heroes like this one after another.
Whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, there would always be people who would step forward without hesitation, sacrifice their lives, and shed their blood.
Whoosh.
Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan took a deep breath and reached out to take the wooden box from Yang Dingtian's hands. He then turned around and placed it in the coffin. He then personally covered the flag," We have won this naval battle. Your efforts have not been in vain. The navy will definitely take good care of your families. You can rest in peace."”
This battle.
681 ships, 682 ships, 385 ships, 387 ships, a total of 20 soldiers were in eternal rest.
Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan stood up and looked at the sacrificed hero. He said in a deep voice," With soldiers like this, how can we lose? With soldiers like this, who would dare to bully us again? With soldiers like this, how can we not be strong?”
That's right.
Yang Dingtian and the others could not help but clench their fists.
Weapons and equipment were never the magic weapons that the Fire Country could use to ensure their victory. What they truly relied on were these soldiers who were filled with blood and had a steel will. No matter if the front was a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, as long as they gave the order, they would not hesitate to turn back.
"Take Hero to rest first."
"Yes."
Immediately, a team of guards came forward and closed the coffin lid. Then, they slowly lifted it up and walked towards the cemetery. The Southern Fleet Command had already sent people to pick up the families of the heroes. After they arrived, they would hold a ceremony to bury them in the cemetery.
Swoosh.
Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan looked at Yang Dingtian and the others and said," You are all heroes. Now, go and recuperate. You must treat your injuries. The fleet still needs you.”
"Yes."
The group of people responded.
"Make the arrangements and follow me.”Fang Zhennan nodded to Yang Dingtian.
"Yes."
Yang Dingtian turned around and said to Lin Sanbao," Let's go to the fleet hospital first and treat your injuries, especially Wang Zhu. You must save his hands."”
"Yes." Lin Sanbao nodded.
Soon after.
Yang Dingtian stepped forward and stood beside Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan." Commander.”
"There will be sacrifices in war. Our ancestor has long said that a general's achievements will cause ten thousand bones to wither. These bones don't only refer to the corpses of the enemy, but also the corpses of our own people.”Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan comforted him.
He was afraid that Yang Dingtian would bear a serious psychological burden because of his sacrifice.
Of course, for every soldier who participated in the battle, they would be given psychological guidance. The main responsibility would be the instructor.
"Commander, I know." Yang Dingtian replied.
Thump thump.
" What do you think of this battle?" Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan asked as he walked to the shore and looked at the captured Annan Empire's No. 16 warship.”
"It's very sad. We're a great country, but it's already so exhausting to fight against a small Annan. Commander, we still have a long way to go.”This was Yang Dingtian's heartfelt words.
Very good.
Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan looked at Yang Dingtian with appreciation. It was not bad for him to have such a clear understanding after a great victory at such a young age.
"We started too late, so we can get whatever we want. But I believe that one day, our navy will definitely become stronger. At that time, our soldiers will no longer have to risk their lives like that.”
"Commander, we will."
Yang Dingtian had never doubted this.
This was because he had personally witnessed that day in another world. Although he had yet to reach the top, he could easily crush the Annan Empire with just a random team.
"With so many people working hard for it, that day won't be too far away.”
After that, Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan said to Yang Dingtian," You performed well this time. You are brave and resourceful. When you go back, take some time to write down the entire battle process. The navy will use it as a classic battle example to promote and learn."”
"Yes."
"Alright, you should go to the hospital to have a look too. Don't leave any problems behind. The navy is developing and needs talents like you.”Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan patted Yang Dingtian's shoulder." Besides, the rewards that should be given will not be less.”
The few officers behind were a little envious.
It was obvious.
Yang Dingtian would be the Southern Squadron next, or even the young officer that the entire Fire Country's Navy would focus on grooming.
"Thank you for your concern, Commander."
"Go ahead."
"Yes."
After saluting, Yang Dingtian turned around and left.
Ding!
After taking a few steps, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
The reward had arrived.
What could it be?
Yang Dingtian was also a little curious in his heart. He had won a great victory this time, so the reward should not be bad.
