In the afternoon, it was almost four o'clock.
Tsk tsk.
With the sound of brakes, a military vehicle stopped outside the southern fleet's guest house.
Whoosh.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian raised his hand to rub his face. Then, he got out of the car, took his things with Lin Sanbao, and walked towards the guest house.
When they arrived at the registration office, Yang Dingtian took out his military officer's certificate and handed it over."I am Yang Dingtian, the captain of Boat 681. I am here to visit the families of the heroes who sacrificed their lives on my boat.”
That's right.
The families of Zhou Dong and the others had already been picked up by the fleet.
This was the famous Captain Yang?
The young woman who was registering looked at Yang Dingtian in amazement. She did not look like a lunatic at all. Instead, she looked like a delicate scholar.
"Captain Yang, the families of the heroes who died on Boat 681 are all arranged on the second floor. This is the list.”the woman replied politely.
"Thank you."
After receiving the military ID and the list of family members, Yang Dingtian and Lin Sanbao headed to the second floor.
Room 206.
Yang Dingtian walked over and knocked on the door.
Caw.
The door opened very quickly.
It was an old woman in blue. Her hair was already white, and her eyes were red. There were still traces of tears on her wrinkled face.
Swoosh.
Standing still, Yang Dingtian immediately saluted and said,"Auntie, I am Yang Dingtian, the captain of Dongzi. Bring his things over."”
He did not look at anything else.
The old woman's gaze stopped on the black and white photo that Yang Dingtian was holding. Her hunched body trembled slightly.
It was her son.
They hadn't seen each other for more than a year. She looked a little darker than before, but she was also more energetic.
However, she could no longer hear him call her mother.
"Son, mother is here. Mother is here to see you.”The old woman took the photo and gently caressed her son's face in the photo with her dry right hand. She could no longer hold back her tears and they flowed down her face.
She had been longing for her son for so long, but she did not expect to hear the news of her son's death.
Crack.
Lin Sanbao clenched her teeth and felt a little sour. There were many painful things in this world, but the most painful thing was to see the old man die.
But this was a soldier.
Worthy of the country, worthy of the country, worthy of the people, only sorry for yourself, relatives, they give safety to the people, leaving relatives, only missing and worrying, so, ancestors have long said that, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to be complete.
"Aunty." Yang Dingtian reached out to support the old lady, afraid that she would fall.
Swoosh.
The old lady raised her head and looked at Yang Dingtian."Is he brave?”
"Brave. He is the bravest soldier. He is a role model for us.”Yang Dingtian nodded heavily. How many people could watch themselves being burned bit by bit in the raging fire?
"Good, that's good." The auntie nodded repeatedly.
"Auntie, let's talk inside.”
"Yes."
Soon after.
Yang Dingtian helped Zhou Dong's mother into the room. There was also a teenage girl with a sad expression inside. She should be Zhou Dong's sister.
"Auntie, Dongzi's clothes, medals, and pension are all in the bag. This is the letter he wrote to you.”Yang Dingtian placed the things on the small wooden table against the wall.
Reaching out, the old woman took the letter, opened it, and carefully pulled out the letter.
"Father, mother, I miss you and little sister.”
"The enemy is already here. I'm going to fight soon. I'm not afraid of sacrifice, but I'm afraid that you'll be sad. I really don't want you to cry.”
The old woman quickly raised her left hand to wipe the tears from her face, but she could not wipe them all away.
"Dad, your health is not good. You have to smoke and drink less.”
"Mother, don't be too tired. I saw that you have white hair the last time I came home. You must take care of your health. In the future, ask Nancy not to marry too far away.”
"Father, Mother, I am unfilial. I can only repay you for raising me in my next life.”
The letter was very short.
However, it was what Zhou Dong wanted to say the most at that moment.
He was not afraid of sacrifice, but he was afraid that his parents and relatives would be sad. However, he had to fight, because not only was he protecting the country, but he was also protecting his family.
He looked at it repeatedly.
After a long while, the old lady carefully packed the letter and looked up at Yang Dingtian,"Chief. I want to see him."
"Auntie, Dongzi, he...”Yang Dingtian clenched his fists tightly."。。Only a few bones were left."
Was her son only left with a few bones?
The old woman's body swayed. Her dry fingers clenched tightly, but she still choked and said,"Even if he's burned to ashes, he's still my son, let alone a few bones.”
Whoosh.
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said,"Auntie, I'll take you to see Dongzi later. You can rest for a while before I go to see the other family members."”
"Alright."
Yang Dingtian wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say as he looked at the old woman. No matter how much he said, her son would not be able to live.
However, the soldiers had no choice.
The only thing they could do was to become stronger, so that the enemy would fear them and not dare to come again.
He turned around.
Yang Dingtian left Room 206 with Lin Sanbao and went to another room.
Without exception.
After losing their sons, every parent was
heartbroken. There were old fathers who smoked cigarettes and did not say much, but their heads turned white overnight. There were also mothers who brought the pancakes that they had baked overnight. That was her son's favorite food.
Even though he was injured, Yang Dingtian, who had never wavered in the face of desperate situations, also had red eyes.
After visiting the family members, Yang Dingtian asked Lin Sanbao to apply for a military transport vehicle from the fleet command to take the family members to the cemetery to see their loved ones for the last time.
The sorrowful cries and the tears that kept falling made the hearts of the soldiers on the scene almost break. Some of them even turned their heads to wipe their tears.
But this was the life of a soldier.
If the soldiers didn't stand up, then the country wouldn't be a country, and the family wouldn't be stable.
。。。
After the family members saw the bodies, the bodies of the 20 sacrificed soldiers were sent to be cremated that night.
The next morning, the sky was drizzling, filling the world with a faint sadness.
Nine o'clock.
Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan, the commander of the Southern Fleet, personally presided over the burial ceremony. The twenty heroes would rest here and look at the blue sea of the motherland.
From today onwards, as long as the Fire Country did not perish, they would never be forgotten.
After the ceremony ended, Yang Dingtian brought the crew of Boat 681 to send the families of the martyrs back.
Thump thump.
However, after a few steps, a captain ran over."Captain Yang, the commander wants you to go to the airport immediately.”
To the airport?
Yang Dingtian was stunned for a moment. He was just a captain. It was not his turn to accompany the commander on a business trip.
Without wasting any time, he ordered Lin Sanbao to bring his men back. Then, he followed the captain to the military airport.
Along the way.
Yang Dingtian was trying to guess why Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan was looking for him.
