June 1995!

The international situation is changing, and a political politician from Bay Island was invited by Cornell University in the United States to visit as a personal capacity. The senior Chinese officials were furious and recalled the ambassador!

Senior leaders of the two countries stopped contacting above the ambassador level!

In mid-July, Tang Dao, the old director of Taihang Special Forces College, who had been living in Taihang Mountain for a long time, had never left Licheng County since his mother passed away, suddenly became quiet and moved. He accompanied his wife to leave Taihang Mountain with his granddaughter Tang Xiaodao.

The first place the veteran who was over 80 years old drove to was Niangzi Pass in Jindong!

"Do you still remember the battle between Jindong and Dong that year? Lao Cao and Xiao Tu fought with only two people in one squad, and two were disabled, one was blind and the other had broken legs. When Li Jiujin reported to me, I, the leader, was also sad!" Tang Dao, who was over 80 years old, had his hair almost turned white, was still straight, and stood at the close of his wife and said to his wife with great emotion.

"Why don't I remember that battle? We won, defeated the 21st Division, and wiped out an infantry brigade of the 20th Division." When Dan Tai Mingyue told the brilliant achievements of that battle, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.

"But our 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division sacrificed thousands of comrades. I remember that Brother Zhao was only in his early 40s, but his hair was almost white. Even Brother Cheng was so cheerful, and when he saw the casualties, he smoked several cigarettes."

"Behind the victory is sacrifice!" Tang Dao murmured to himself, looking up at the Jindong Anti-Japanese War Memorial standing on the top of the mountain on the other side.

The monument was very high, and because it was not tall enough, it was impossible to write thousands of names.

At the second stop, Tang Dao went to Zishan, southern Ji.

Today, Zishan is no longer the remote area of ​​the past. As China's economy flourishes, the national enthusiasm for tourism has gradually increased, and the local government has turned it into a red tourist attraction.

The Hebei Administrative Office, which had only five or six bungalows on the surface at that time, was protected and repaired. It looked much cleaner and tidy than it was more than 50 years ago. Many of the underground tunnels built to defend against Japanese aircraft bombing and military command centers, including fortifications built on the cliffs that year, were restored.

When the local government knew that the old leader was coming, it was a little nervous, fearing that it would cause the old leader to be unhappy because it carried out tourism development in the battlefield of the Patriotic War.

Tang Dao walked to the core area of ​​the scenic area and saw many white flowers tied to the pine trees around the Anti-Japanese War Memorial. After knowing that it was the Qingming Festival, local schools organized primary and secondary school students to come to pay tribute, they smiled.

Under the sweeping economic wave, everyone is changing, but as long as the young man does not forget the martyrs, it is excellent!

The future will eventually belong to those young people, and they will find their own spiritual home in the flow of material desires.

At the third stop, Tang Dao flew to Shanghai Stock Exchange!

This time, he did not alarm anyone, and even refused to accompany his granddaughter, and the couple stood in front of the tall building that was still standing tall on the banks of the Suzhou River, holding hands.

They met here, and it has been nearly 60 years in a flash.

Back then, he was a heroic second lieutenant, who led his troops to fight with the Japanese army in this Jedi to defend the last dignity of Chinese soldiers. She was a military reporter who risked her life to sneak into the warehouse, and she just wanted the Chinese people to know the names of these warriors who died to death.

They all completed their tasks.

He was here, causing the Japanese to shed all their blood and almost dyed the Suzhou River red!

She was by the Suzhou River, watching him pick five Japanese pirates with bayonets, which made the Japanese army's heart break. She wrote quickly and told the whole country that I, Songhu, had never fallen.

Another day, the old Don, dressed in casual clothes, actually rode an old lady to Songjiang 20 kilometers away on a bicycle.

Today's Jiangnan small town is no longer the dilapidated town that year. Most of the broken walls have been demolished, leaving only a small section and the old city gates to show everyone the long history of this Jiangnan small town.

There are still bullet holes left on the city wall made of loess, proving to the people passing by it that a tragic and almost splendid defensive war broke out here more than 50 years ago.

The city is already very prosperous, with pedestrians bustling, and there are even more people coming and going in front of Songjiang's specialty silk and satin shops.

Tang Dao, who had many folds on his face, stood on the bustling commercial street, holding the white-haired wife's hand and grinning. Dan Tai Mingyue held the no longer generous big hand with a slight smile.

Many passers-by looked at the old couple with envious eyes.

How can people not be envious at such an old age and still so loving?

But perhaps only Dan Tai Mingyue understands why her husband smiles so brightly.

Is the tens of thousands of 67 military officers and soldiers who died here back then, in this prosperous era, as you wish?

This was for the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers who died in the 67th Army that year, and for Xia Dayu.

Xia Dayu didn't have the chance to see this prosperous era. After the founding of Xinhua Kingdom, Xia Dayu, who had already become the battalion commander, returned to his hometown to pay tribute to his uncle Crow, so he went to find the group of younger brothers and sisters who had been waiting for his return in his hometown.

When he returned to the military camp, he brought back 10 people!

Thirteen years have passed, and those children who were once hungry in the war have grown into young people and want to join the army and serve the country.

The following year, Xia Dayu took them to the ice field!

In the battle of Songgufeng, the Chinese Light Infantry Regiment created the peak of 150 miles of marching overnight, and then created a great military achievement that severely damaged the Ace Infantry Regiment of the American Ace Division with a battalion of troops.

But Tang Dao's little bald guard never returned!

Tang Dao, who was still in charge of negotiations in Maoxiong Kingdom, was attending a night banquet organized by the senior military leaders of Maoxiong Kingdom when he received the news.

That night, Tang Dao, who had a very generous drink, got drunk after drinking only 100 cups of vodka. While pouring eight generals from the other party, he was drunk.

Perhaps only when you are drunk, your heart will not hurt so much.

After staying in Songjiang City for two days, Tang Dao went to Guangde again. It was the most glorious battle of the Four-Royal Group on the way to escape through the blockade.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was the ambush battle of the gold pit that defeated the Guoqi detachment in one battle, completely losing its ability to pursue, and the Fourth Army Battalion was able to cross the Yangtze River and upgrade to the Fourth Army regiment.

On the top of the mountain where nearly all of the two infantry soldiers in the Sichuan Army died, there was also a small monument, without any door pavilions or attics, just a monument to the Anti-Japanese War that was more than 9 meters high. The ground paved with ordinary granite was cleaned extremely clean.

When Tang Dao asked the village party secretary who was accompanying him, he realized that this was a rotation in the local villages, and five people came to clean up every week. During the Qingming Festival, there were endless crowds of people paying homage to the temple.

The veteran who has taken off his military uniform sends a military salute to the old man who is only in his sixties!

Thank you for your young comrades!

The old man was at a loss. This was just a story he had heard when he was a child, saying that an army had come here and killed thousands of Japanese devils here.

However, many people died, and were eventually buried in this mountain, and many people didn’t even have names.

Then, Tang Dao went to Shipai again, which was the first battle of the Four-Ring Regiment from North China. In just one battle, Yokoyama Yong and the 11th Army knew about the ferocity of the First Regiment of North China in China.

However, behind the military achievements are also full of bones!

It was here that Shi Dakuan lost his infantry company, but was fortunate to become a member of the Four Corps. He became the deputy squad leader of Tang Dao's guard squad, and was promoted to platoon leader after the war in Hengyang. Before he rushed to the Ice Field, Shi Dakuan was only in his 20s and had already served as the battalion commander of the Sharp Knife Battalion.

His two sisters have grown up, and under the care of the organization, they have finished junior high school and entered the newly established nurse school. Tang Dao still remembers Shi Dakuan wrote to him on the battlefield, happily telling him about his family, saying that the family also told him a marriage, which was the eldest sister's colleague in the hospital, and when he returned home, he would get married.

Standing in front of the Shipai Anti-Japanese War Memorial, Tang Dao's eyes were wet.

The small Sichuan Provincial Army never wrote a letter to him, the old commander, after the cruel Battle of Five Sacred Mountains.

The war is almost over!

But he can never come back.

Shi Dakuan's old mother was eventually taken to the Tang family's old house by Xiao Hanlin to live with her. Two old ladies, one lived to 98 and the other was 97, accompanied by a disabled veteran Tang Xiaojiu and his wife who returned from the Battle of Ice Field.

The old lady left peacefully!

Tang Dao, Li Jiujin, Leng Feng, Gu Xishui and others who carried the coffin personally did not shed tears. She finally went to see her three sons. She had been thinking about it for many years!

She was alive, just trying to see this brand new country for her sons and let her go and tell them a lesson.

Finally, Tang Dao went to Hengyang!

He also stayed there for the longest time, and his footprints were spread all over Hengyang City. Although the city was no longer as broken as 50 years ago, Tang Dao seemed to be able to see and hear him, and stood in front of him: "Report that the commander of the regiment has defeated the enemy!"

While leaving, Tang Dao brought his wife and granddaughter Tang Xiaodao to present flowers to the Hengyang Defense War Memorial!

It was not until this time that foreign media noticed the whereabouts of the veteran Tang Dao. Combined with the current international situation, it was difficult for them not to think a lot. What does this mean?

But this was not the last stop of Tang Dao. Tang Dao then traveled northward, crossed Shanhaiguan, and crossed the Yalu River...

There were countless old comrades waiting for him there.

Back then, he failed to bring them to this battlefield in person. Now they must still be waiting for him on this battlefield, and the heroic soul has not been destroyed!

Because some people deserve to be beaten again!

Qian Dazhu, Heizi, Cao Yingchong and others flashed one by one in front of Tang Dao, who was silently standing on the top of Wusheng Mountain, as if he was playing a movie.

Qian Dazhu was already the chief of staff of the division at that time, but the blocking battle between Tieyuan was really too cruel. In just over 10 days of defensive operations, 25,000 Chinese soldiers suffered more than 1,500 cannons, more than 300 tanks and 50,000-meter army attacks. Even the commander finally fought with the enemy with guns and bayonets and was seriously injured and unconscious.

Qian Dazhu personally led a guard to block the two infantry battalions of the Mid-Armed Army to attack for two days and nights until the entire army was over!

Whenever Tang Dao thinks about the young man he still saw in Songjiang, his heart always hurts.

Heizi was Li Jiujin's guard battalion commander. At the critical moment of the Battle of Five Sacred Mountains, he pressed Li Jiujin, who was holding a pistol to the front line at the command center, but he led the last guard platoon to support him.

He was 18 times in a row but could not leave the battlefield. He was 1.9 meters tall and weighed 200 kilograms. After the war, Li Jiujin felt light and fluttering when he personally carried him down the position.

"Sir! Heizi has dried all over his body! There are holes all over his body, I can't block it!" Li Jiujin, who called Tang Dao, cried like a child again.

Since the Battle of Hengyang, Li Jiujin, who is almost 40 years old, has not cried like that for a long time.

Cao Yingchong got married to Zhuang Damei after the Battle of Hengyang. After marriage, he gave birth to a son and a daughter. However, the happy time was too short. He was called and transferred to the ace army as the commander of the sharp knife battalion, saying goodbye to his wife and children and stepped into the battlefield of the ice field.

The first battle is a death battle!

That place is called Changjin Lake, a battlefield of minus 30 degrees Celsius!

It was the first time in the history of the Chinese army that frostbite reduction exceeded actual combat reduction. There were more than 4,000 officers and soldiers who died of freezing to death, but they wiped out 36,000 enemies, including 24,000 of the Mid-Armour, including an entire regiment of the Mid-Armour Army. Lieutenant General Walker, the commander of the 8th Army of the Mid-Armour Army, also overturned in chaos, resulting in what was called "the longest retreat in American history" by then Secretary of State Acheson.

Thinking of them, even after so many years, Tang Dao, who has always been strong, still couldn't help but look crystal clear.

If all these brave and fearless young officers under his command could survive after the war, how would they be the stars shining?

But for the sake of their motherland, they left their young lives on this ice field.

It was a real asymmetric war of flesh and blood and steel, but they still did the same as they fought against the Japanese pirates back then. They and soldiers younger than them used their flesh and blood to keep the enemy out of the country.

"Before I leave, my little grandson asked me if I miss the grandparents who sleep in the monument." Tang Dao pointed at the martyrs' cemetery and said softly.
To be continued...
