Chapter 150: The Soldier's Funeral(2/2)
"Okay, you go ahead." Su Tong nodded.
"Please allow the students to say goodbye to Pao Ze here." After saying this, Yang Rongpeng and the others slowly walked to the front of the row of tombstones. Under the leadership of Yang Rongpeng, they raised their right hands, clenched their hands into fists, and said firmly and loudly.
: "Brothers, your mission has been completed. You can rest in peace. It's time to look at ours next."
"It's time to look at us below," the officers behind swore in unison.
After the oath was taken, the officers slowly retreated and formed a line again. Under the leadership of Yang Rongpeng, they walked down without looking back.
"Darling and the others are so respectable," Mrs. Jiang had already cried and fell into her husband's arms, her voice choked with sobs.
Commissioner Jiang couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Yes, yes, it's time to look at us next."
Looking back at the big bosses from various places who came from the surrounding areas, as well as their officers and soldiers, they all had a look of envy on their faces.
The Chairman knew that they were envious of those who died in battle. In this era when human lives are as trivial as insignificant, and in this era when being a soldier means having your head cut off, no one would have thought that the funerals of soldiers would be so grand. This is okay.
It is comparable to the funeral of a president or prime minister of a country.
Bai Chongxi said with emotion to Li Zongren next to him: "Master Virtue, now I finally understand why Chahar's army was able to beat Lao Maozi to pieces after they arrived in Siberia."
Li Zongren also sighed and said: "A man died in a hundred battles on the battlefield, and his ambition was wrapped in horse leather and returned to me. If I can get this honor, it doesn't matter if I die."
There is an old saying: A soldier dies for his bosom friend. When the soldiers know that they will have such honor after death, will they still be afraid of dying in battle? It seems that Su Tong has already bought all the hearts of his men.
Duke Zhou, the generals behind him, and Wang Qiang, the thousands of men and women who were rescued by Su Tong, all stood solemnly, watching the young officers walk out of the national cemetery until their figures disappeared from their sight.
