Part 8: The Nirvana of the Dragon Chapter 544: Rest in peace, Expeditionary Force (2)!

The man shouted, "Grandpa, the person you are waiting for is here..." After rushing to the back room, an old man with white hair and slightly hunched body walked out from behind the door under the help of the man. The old man was wearing a white-washed shirt with a little yellow washing, wearing a pair of blue cloth trousers that were so ordinary that they were black cloth shoes on his feet. His thin body was like a tree root dried by time. Although he no longer had the strength and strength of his youth, the arms and joints on his palms that could almost be seen from his clothes were almost visible in the shape of the bones, but they were like poplars that had been standing up in the wind and sand for thousands of years, showing an unyielding hardness. This is the 87-year-old old man Zhao Huaiyi, an old soldier of the Zh National Expeditionary Force who is still alive!

Perhaps because of excitement, one of the old man's hands trembled slightly. As soon as he entered the room, his eyes suddenly stared at Long Liexue standing in the room like a magnet. The old man's lips moved, but did not say anything. Instead, he pulled his right hand out of the man who was supporting him, and tried hard to keep his body worthy of his body, tremblingly lifted his right hand, which could no longer be fully extended, to his forehead.

Long Liexue's tears suddenly flowed out.

He returned a military salute solemnly. Long Liexue took two steps forward, holding the old man's hand tightly with both hands. He did not let go for a long time. The old man's tears also came out, and the hot tears fell on Long Liexue's hand, "It's really coming!"

"I'm late!" Long Liexu's eyes also turned red. In just a moment, the two people, whose age difference was more than half a century, felt that there was no barrier again.

After calming down a little, the old man Zhao Huaiyi, who was in high spirits, welcomed Long Liexue into his backyard. The old man's grandson and granddaughter-in-law were both responsible. When he saw someone coming, he kept busy greeting him without saying a word.

The old man's home is right behind the grilled fish shop. There is a small yard that connects the storefront of the grilled fish shop with the house where the people live behind. There are two broad-leaved trees planted in the yard, and some livelihood debris are piled up in the yard in a mess. A small pond of one meter square was dug in the middle of the yard. There are some water plants floating in the pond, and a few river fish swimming in the pond. It is regarded as the "reserve warehouse" of the grilled fish shop. Under the tiled eaves of the yard and the main house, there are firewood that is nearly one person high.

Long Liexue supported the old man Zhao Huaiyi's hand, and the two walked into the not-so spacious main hall of the old man's house. The scattered furniture in the main hall was so old that the original paint water could not be seen, and there were a few light plastic chairs. The whole main hall was furnished in a simple manner. The only thing that was eye-catching were the two things hanging in the middle of the main hall - a colorful country map that was nearly the size of a table and a thing similar to a certificate set with glass photo frames.

"If I hadn't watched it several times every day, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on now. I used to have a small map album of ZH countries. Now I'm old and my eyes are a little blurry. I can't see clearly on the map album. So I bought a large one on the wall. I could read it every day..." Walking to the wall, the old man raised his hand and pointed to a province on the map, "My hometown is here. I have lived in Myitkyina for nearly 60 years. The officials here used to ask twice a year and asked me to join the nationality of the federal government. I told the officials here, I

I am a Chinese, and I have no choice but to stay here. I will not join your nationality. A few years ago, when the veterans in Myitkyina were alive, they often came to ask. Now there are few veterans alive, so they don’t come to ask. So, I am still a Chinese…” Speaking of this, the old man showed a proud smile on his face. The old man pointed to the thing in the photo frame next to the map to show everyone, “That was sent to his home by the ambassador of the embassy in Tajikistan in person last year!”

When Long Liexu saw it, he saw it as a "Certificate of Honor for the Expeditionary Force to Commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Victory of the Anti-Japanese War in ZH. At the end of the certificate is "Zhou Nianping" three handwritten fonts - this is an honorary certificate signed by the country's highest leader, and its preciousness is naturally self-evident.

"This is the honor you deserve!" Long Liexue said to the old man Zhao Huaiyi.

The old man asked everyone to sit down. The old man's granddaughter-in-law served everyone a cup of tea. There were only four people in the room, Long Liexue looked at the tea cups that contained tea. The four tea cups in the old man Zhao Huaiyi's house could not even be assembled. The old man's granddaughter left the latest two to himself, and the slightly old two were brought to the old man Zhao Huaiyi and the old man's grandson Zhao Ansheng. Seeing this, Long Liexue had a deeper understanding of the economic situation of the old man Zhao Huaiyi's family.

"It's a pity, many old guys didn't wait for this day..." The old man said, and tears fell again. "The expeditionary army lost in the first battle into the tower. I went abroad to fight the Japanese. As a result, I didn't even have time to shoot a gun. The Japanese didn't see them. The above said they were defeated. The British and the Indians ran faster than rabbits. Hundreds of thousands of people ran away completely. The Japanese made their way. The Expeditionary Army was defeated. The troops hurriedly retreated, and the *** people chased after them. The worst was in the Wild Man Mountain. The 100,000 Expeditionary Army died in the Wild Man Mountain alone, and most of them were starved to death. When a fellow villager was in charge, he was still starved to death. In addition to starving death, there were also sick deaths and suicides. Because everyone was all

All kinds of reasons died. In the primitive jungle like Wildman Mountain, there was no sunlight inside after four o'clock every afternoon. The people in a class were tired and sat under the tree and fell asleep. When they woke up the next day, they saw that all the people in a class were dead, without any sound, and they were covered with leeches. Some of them were tired of walking and resting. In less than half an hour, they were bitten by an ant on their leg and only had a skeleton. It didn't hurt to bite people, but it was numb. The ant bit more bites, and half of their body didn't feel it. I didn't know if it was eaten by it. Many people were crazy. They killed themselves and held the gun and pulled the trigger with their toes... Later, we counterattacked from India. The leading troops did not know the way. What should we do? The bones of the brothers of the expeditionary army who participated in the first expedition

It is the signpost for counterattack. Follow the corpses of the brothers, you can find the *** people. Often, walking down a hundred meters, there were twenty or thirty corpses of the zh*** people on the road. Everyone carried guns and walked all the way and cried. They went to the battlefield crying. I was at the 150th Regiment of the 50th Division, counterattacked to Myitkyina. We were arranged to attack the first Hengma Road stationed by the *** people. The road was more than ten meters higher than the surrounding ground and was paved with gravel. The *** people built business on the road. There was no terrain on both sides of the road to use. We charged again and again, and the officers rushed to the front and kept filling the drop of the 10 meters of Hengma Road with their lives to knock down the Hengma Road. The *** people in Myitkyina went crazy. Later I realized that when we reached Myitkyina, we fought.

,The *** people here also received an order to ask the *** people here to "Jade Fight" with us. In the entire World War II, the *** people only fought the 'Jade Fight' in Asia three times. One of them was in Myitkyina. In the past, this place was much more beautiful than it is now. The whole city was filled with beautiful small foreign buildings built by the British. I know why there are short houses everywhere in Myitkyina now. I tell you, all the tall buildings and beautiful houses in Myitkyina were tied here by our Expeditionary Force and the *** people. The 14th Division, the 30th Division, and our 50th Division almost paved the city inch by blood and flesh. In the end, we kept hitting the *** people to the riverside in the north of the city. The Major General garrison who fought here pulled his gun and committed suicide..."

The content of the old man Zhao Huaiyi's statement was so depressing that it was a little breathless. The tea was still half warm, but the old man simply stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the places where the Expeditionary Force used flesh and blood to kill..."

"Grandpa, your body..." Zhao Ansheng stood up and said with some concern.

"I can't die. I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity if I don't go today..." Old man Zhao Huaiyi said to Long Liexue.

Long Liexue also stood up and ordered the officer beside him, "Shaoxing, go and prepare the car..."

...

The next itinerary was not a pleasant one. An inexplicable complexity and entangled emotion infected Long Liexu's thoughts, mixed with the "Soul-comforting tower" and "Soul-comforting monument" erected by the people who could be seen everywhere at the intersection of this city. The place where the heroic souls of the Expeditionary Force were slept forever in the battle, but there was no trace left by the zh*** people. The cemetery of the once dead soldiers of the 50th Division of the Expeditionary Force has now become the cemetery of the Myitkyina Second Primary School in the south of the city, and the cemetery of the 30th Division located in the north of the city has become

In a middle school, Zhao Huaiyi said that these places were the places where the Expeditionary Force fought the most fiercely and sacrificed the most. There were cemeteries of the Expeditionary Force before. Later, for various reasons, the Expeditionary Force cemeteries were leveled and could not be rebuilt. Instead, the *** people came. I heard that the *** people donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the government here, and then the Myitkyina allowed the *** people to build various buildings, cemeteries, and even temples in this city that commemorated and commemorated the Japanese army at that time...

"This is the place where the 14th Division fought the most fiercely, and it was also the cemetery of the soldiers of the 14th Division back then. The South Railway Station in Myitkyina, but unfortunately I can't see it now..." Walking in a simple and low shanty town in the south of Myitkyina City, the old man Zhao Huaiyi said sadly. Several ordinary Kachin family living in the simple and low shanty town here looked at Long Liexue's group in curiously. Several Kachin children who were not wearing shoes were protruding their heads next to them, "These Kachin families living here are

Everyone lives here because the whole Myitkyina people know that it is often haunted. The bodies of the Expeditionary Brothers dug out here were one by one, and they were dead. The bayonets were still tightly held in their hands. Those who collected scrap iron dared not take such bayonets when they saw them. Seeing the cemetery of the Expeditionary Force here disappeared little by little, the old guys who were still alive had limited ability and could only raise money together. They erected a monument for the Expeditionary Force's brothers in the temple, and took turns to take care of them..."

"Have you ever reported the situation here to the embassy of zh country?" An officer accompanying him asked this question depressedly. After walking for a long time, everyone felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Hearing this question, the old man shook his hand, "We can't cause trouble to the country anymore. After so many years, the country has not forgotten us. We are already very content. The people at the embassy have also tried their best. The Expeditionary Army Memorial Hall was built on Dongyu two years ago, and we invited a few of us old guys. But Dongyu is too far from Myitkyina. Many of our brothers died here and were buried here. We hope they can have a home here, so we raised money to erect a monument for the Expeditionary Army brothers..."

"Go and have a look!" Long Liexue said, and the old man nodded.

...

Long Liexue had fantasized about the appearance of the Myitkyina Expeditionary Force monument in his mind in advance, but when he saw it, Long Liexue was shocked, and was truly shocked.

The Expeditionary Army Monument, which was funded by several veterans of the Expeditionary Army, was built in the backyard of a relatively old temple of the God of Wealth in Myitkyina. It was built with a little brick and lime cement. Over the years, it has been a little damaged due to some storms and rains. It is so simple that it is so sad.

"The strong spirit is the best in the mountains and rivers, and the loyalty and courageous journey will be preserved in history;

The heroic soul shows the sun and the moon, and the loess cannot bury the enemy's heart."

If it weren't for the two lines of words engraved on the monument wall, I'm afraid few people would think that this was the memorial to the zh-state Expeditionary Force in Myitkyina.

When Long Liexu and the others arrived, they unexpectedly found that two old men were already here. At first glance, they were no longer much younger than Zhao Huaiyi. One of the old men was sweeping the body of the monument, and placed two piles of fruits, a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of white wine in front of the monument. The other man burned paper money in the brazier in front of the monument and poured it into the yard. While burning paper money, the old man carefully pressed the burned paper money with a stick to avoid being blown away by the wind.

The two old men also discovered Long Liexu and his group and Zhao Huaiyi.

"Brother Zhao, you are here too..."

"Brother Zhang...Brother Li, you are here to burn paper money again..."

"I'm here every time. I've been dreaming these two days ago. I've always dreamed of these old brothers in rags and stretched out their hands to me, saying that they were hungry and cold below and were often bullied by the Japanese..."

When Long Liexu heard this, he knew that the two old men in front of him were also veterans of the Expeditionary Force living in Myitkyina.

"Brother Zhao, who is this?" The old man who burned money paper looked at Long Liexue.

Old man Zhao Huaiyi held the hands of the two old men and said a few words in their ears. One old man nodded there, and the other old man's ear was probably a little bad. After listening to Old Man Zhao Huaiyi's words, he shouted loudly, "What? What did you say? You wrote a letter to the Feilencui Supervisor's Office last month. Unexpectedly, he really came and wanted to erect a monument for the Expeditionary Army..." The old man behind his ear said loudly, turning his head and staring at Long Liexue carefully, with a little excited expression. Before Long Liexue could say anything, the old man with some back had already come over, grabbed Long Liexue's hands and grabbed it tightly, as if Long Liexue was about to disappear as soon as he let go. Old *** asked, "Brother Zhao said you want to erect a monument for the Expeditionary Army? I am old and can't live for a few days. Tell me, is it true?"

"Really!" Long Liexue.

"What?" the old man didn't hear clearly.

"Really!" Long Liexue repeated loudly in the old man's ear.

"Better than this now?" the old man was worried and asked loudly.

"Better than this now!" Long Liexue replied loudly.

"Is it better than the monument built by the *** people for the mules and horses they died in battle?" the old man asked loudly again.

"It must be better than the monument of the Mule Matthew who was killed by the *** people!" Long Liexue replied loudly, and tears couldn't help but shed again. In this life, Long Liexue shed tears twice in a day for the first time.

"Can you use bricks instead of stones to make it?" the old *** asked.

"We don't use bricks, we use stones, white marble, granite, and jadeite!" Long Liexu replied loudly.

"Can you engrave names on the monument for the dead brothers? Just like the *** people, you can get the bones back. After death, someone worships them. You can wear clothes when you go to the underworld, drink, smoke, and spend money. You won't let your brothers be bullied by the Japanese after death. You are compared by the Japanese?" asked the old man, and the old man's tears also remained, and his hands holding Long Liexue were trembling constantly.

"The names of all the soldiers who can be found in the monument must be engraved with the names of all the soldiers who can be found, and the bones of all the soldiers who can be found will be restored, so that they can wear clothes, drink wine, smoke cigarettes, and spend money in the underworld. We will definitely not let the little ghosts compare them..."

Everyone around me cried...

"That's worth it, that's worth it..." Old *** said, and he laughed with tears on his face, "The brothers who died in the expeditionary army for the people who went abroad to fight for the people of zh are worth it..."

...

"Our brothers think you are not a general of the Federation. After all your life, we have seen generals from any country. ***, American, British, Indian, General Sun Liren was solemn and tidy back then, and the most majestic. When I saw you today, my brothers suddenly thought of General Sun Liren's then. The water and soil of the Golden Triangle cannot raise a soldier like you..." After a day, sadness and joy were intertwined. Before leaving, three veteran soldiers of the expeditionary army held Long Liexu's hand who was about to get on the car and said goodbye to him, "Our brothers discussed it, there is nothing to give you, it means that all the soldiers of the expeditionary army who were sleeping underground sang the military song of the expeditionary army for you here!"

"Brothers, are you ready?" Zhang Zhixin and old man said with his ears behind his back.

"It's ready..."

"Then stand, stand, I count one, two, three, let's sing together, one, two, three, sing..."

...

As the song was heard, Long Liexue stepped on his own plane, looking at the Myitkyina, which was already faint and was like a few candlelights and sparks under his feet, the singing of the old warrior seemed to ring in his ears again-

"You haven't seen the Han army, the weak leader is the enemy who asks for a long tassel,

Haven't you seen Ban Dingyuan, the light cavalry in the Jueyu urged the battle against the clouds!

A man should be in danger, so how can he let the Confucian Guan lose his life?

Moreover, the country is in danger and the feathered edicts are endless!

Abandon my pen and write my wartime collar.

He called out more than 100,000 comrades and sang war songs to join the army.

Qi joined the army, purified Hu dust, and sweared to wipe out Japanese slaves without hesitation!

Tolerate feelings and stop thinking about family, and generously express your desire to serve the country.

Going to the battlefield with a smile with a smile, the flag is shining and the sun is gone,

The air blows Taibai into the moon, and pulls the long arrow to shoot the Tianlang.

After quarrying for one year, Jinling was restored, Hebei and Jihei were level,

The boat breaks the wave tower and leaves the Liaohai Sea, and the iron bird swoos to Tokyo!

Mash the Japanese skull overnight, and the Pacific water was red.

Han flag is raised on the top of Mount Fuji, and a concubine drunk under the cherry blossom trees.

When I returned, I saw thousands of people watching, flowers threw them in front of the horse,

The door lintel is shining and smiling, and the neighborhood is full of pride and beautiful faces.

The first achievement of the country's history, China has since been called Changxiong.

We still have the power to punish injustice, so that humans around the world can be as beautiful as the Han wind!"

Taking advantage of the night, with the wind, Long Lie Blood returned to Fei Lengcui...
Chapter completed!
