Chapter 214 Section IX

The Mi-171 helicopter flew over the valley. Thousands of special forces members are fully armed, wearing black berets, camouflage uniforms and military boots, all with white gloves and white flowers on their chests.The camouflage phalanx stands on the mountain and blends with the mountains. Liao Wenfeng and Xiaomin were driving down the mountain road, and the armed sentry of the police company stretched out their hands to signal to stop. "What's wrong?" Liao Wenfeng asked in the car. The sentinel saluted: "I'm sorry, the army has a major military operation, and the traffic was interrupted for an hour!"

Liao Wenfeng looked around and saw that more than a dozen cars had already stopped.He watched the helicopter and got off at the side of the road.Xiaomin got off the station and stood beside him: "What's there to see?" "It seems to be a funeral." Liao Wenfeng looked at the faint white flowers among the mountains. "What's so good about a funeral? Bad luck!" "I was also a soldier." Liao Wenfeng shook his head and looked at it seriously. The helicopter hovered over the mountain and slowly landed on the open space of the small martyrs cemetery.

"Salute—" Lei Keming shouted. Brush—Xiao Wang raised his saber. Swipe—thousands of special forces members raised their right hands. Swipe—the sentries who intercepted the traffic on the mountain road saluted in the direction of the Martyrs Cemetery. The common people looked on in amazement. Liao Wenfeng watched silently. The rear hatch of the helicopter opened and landed on the ground to form a bridge. The rolled red carpet was laid out at once. Two salute soldiers armed with 56 semi-automatic rifles painted in silver white kicked forward and slowly came down, the stabs of the guns gleamed coldly.

Geng Hui appeared in front of the soldiers with a smile in his uniform.It's just that it has become a frozen black and white memory, frozen in an instant.Geng Xiaozhuang, holding the portrait of Geng Hui, came out with a dignified expression. He was wearing a camouflage uniform that Li Dongmei changed overnight, a pair of small black leather boots, and even a small black beret on top of his head. On the highway, Liao Wenfeng's face was serious, and he slowly raised his right hand to salute. The crying was contagious among the special forces members. Li Dongmei, holding the urn wrapped in the party flag, appeared with the support of Fang Zijun and He Xiaoyu in ordinary clothes.

Xiao Wang, holding a saber, was weeping silently. The old man with a white flower on his chest, Chief of Staff Liu, He Zhijun and other military chiefs appeared behind. Officer Cui, who was holding the camera, was in tears and couldn't take the picture anymore.Xiao Wang led the three army standard bearers kicking forward to guide the direction. The team walked slowly to the tomb, and the soldiers stood around. "Old Geng, you are tired, it's time to rest." Li Dongmei kissed the urn. "Report!" Someone in the team suddenly shouted. Look over there. Lin Rui ran out and saluted: "Report! The political commissar can't be buried in peace yet!"

"Speak!" He Zhijun shouted angrily. "We have not yet become an ace special force that can stand in the forest of the world's armies!" Lin Rui shouted with tears, "I request that some of the ashes be left in the honor room of the brigade to inspire us to work hard! Inspire us to move forward One day my brigade will truly become the pride of the Chinese Army, and all his remaining ashes will be buried!" The senior officers looked at each other, and then at Li Dongmei.Li Dongmei nodded with tears streaming down her face. Lin Rui saluted, and took out a handmade urn painted with camouflage colors from the rucksack behind him: "This is made by Comrade Tian Xiaoniu, the leader of our first squad!"

With trembling hands, Li Dongmei took out the ashes and gently placed them in the urn in Lin Rui's hand.Lin Rui stood up straight, letting his tears flow.Lei Keming saluted, and took the camouflage urn handed over by Li Dongmei with both hands. "Fire the gun—" Xiao Wang shouted. A squad of soldiers came out running, holding 81 automatic rifles and shooting consecutive single shots at a 45-degree angle to the sky. Amidst the gunshots, the soil slowly fell on the urn, and gradually disappeared. The gunfire continued. Liao Wenfeng was still saluting, with a solemn expression: "Although you are my enemy, I respect you."

Military flags fluttered. A tombstone is erected: "Revolutionary martyr Colonel Geng Hui, the first political commissar of the Langya Special Brigade of the A Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, is buried here."
