Chapter 163: A grand scene to welcome the triumphant return. This achievement is enough to enhance the power of the navy!

The Red Country once again created a miracle in the history of war with its characteristic of defeating the strong with the weak, and once again enhanced its international reputation.

It can be said that Gu Yuan and his men defeated Country B’s navy this time, which greatly enhanced Country Red’s international status!

On the day when Gu Yuan and his men returned to the harbor, in order to dispel the gloom brought about by the sacrifice of Colonel Zhou and his men and to cheer up the soldiers and the people, Commander Xie ordered all the people from the military region to go to the beach to welcome Gu Yuan and his men's triumphant return.

Lu Chiyu also went there with Chief Engineer Su and the others, and then she found that the scene was crowded with people, and the crowd seemed to have no end in sight.

In addition to the people from their military region, countless people came spontaneously to welcome the returning heroes.

Lu Chiyu even heard that many people from all over the world had come here specially to welcome the naval hero they admired.

At the front was Commander Xie, who led a group of military district leaders to personally welcome Gu Yuan and the others back. Lu Chiyu and Chief Engineer Su and the people from the military factory stood behind Commander Ye and the others.

Behind them are the soldiers of the military region, their families, etc.

Surrounding them were countless reporters and people watching and taking pictures.

As soon as nine o'clock arrived, Lu Chiyu, from afar, immediately spotted the figures of Gu Yuan and his crew's ships appearing on the sea.

Soon, some sharp-eyed people also noticed it.

"Our Navy heroes are back!"

With this cheer, the scene instantly became lively and joyful. People waved and cheered to the fleet in the distance, and reporters took photos.

Next, Gu Yuan and his men followed Commander Xie's instructions and made the fleet circle the sea so that the soldiers and civilians on the shore could clearly see the fleet's heroic appearance. Of course, the most important thing was to show their spoils of war, which were a battleship and two frigates from Country B!

Seeing this scene, the people on the shore cheered loudly!

Someone used a telescope to clearly see the markings on Country B's warship and couldn't help but cheer loudly: "It really is Country B's warship! Our navy comrades have really confiscated Country B's ship!"

"Ah, our navy is so cool!"

“Ahhh…”

Suddenly, the soldiers and civilians on the shore cheered.

Finally, Gu Yuan and the others finished their show and drove towards Lu Chiyu and the others!

Lu Chiyu now has amazing eyesight. She can see Gu Yuan standing on the deck of the warship from a distance.

He was standing upright at the bow in his military uniform. Under his military cap were his resolute and deep eyes, his straight nose, his lips twisted into a line. Every detail of his abstinent and handsome face made Lu Chiyu like him very much.

Seeing him return alive, Lu Chiyu couldn't help but feel his eyes getting hot.

Lu Chiyu could see Gu Yuan with her eyesight, so Captain Gu naturally saw her as well.

For a moment, the two of them were in sync with each other, and their eyes met from afar.

A glance for a thousand years!

Soon, Gu Yuan and his men changed to the military district's pick-up ship and continued to rush ashore. As for their warships and spoils, they did not leave immediately, but stopped far away on the sea for everyone to see.

When Gu Yuan and his crew's boat approached the coast, other people on the shore could also see Gu Yuan and his crew clearly.

Commander Xie shouted into a megaphone: "Let us warmly welcome the returning naval heroes who bravely protected and defended the dignity and territorial integrity of our motherland at the Battle of Tailiang Island with their lives!

And we got justice for Colonel Zhou Guodong and his men!"

As he said this, he led the applause.

Suddenly the crowd burst into applause. This time everyone tacitly kept silent, and only used their loudest applause to express their respect for Gu Yuan and others and their remembrance of the deceased heroes.

Lu Chiyu was also clapping her hands vigorously. She saw the families of Colonel Zhou and his companions standing next to Commander Xie and his companions wiping away their tears and clapping their hands vigorously.

Gu Yuan and Captain Lin led the way, along with all the soldiers behind them who had participated in the operation, and they all rushed ashore to salute.

This silent greeting between the two sides lasted for more than five minutes.

When Gu Yuan and the others got ashore, the crowd cheered again and the reporters flashed their cameras to record this precious moment.

Next, someone came forward and presented a bouquet of flowers to each of Gu Yuan and his companions on behalf of the military and civilians.

Lu Chiyu watched her soldier brother holding flowers and leading Captain Lin towards them. She was deeply attracted by his tall and heroic figure, and her eyes were filled with stars.

Who is Captain Gu? He immediately felt the little girl's fascination with him, and immediately walked straighter and faster than the wind.

Next, Commander Xie led Lu Chiyu and others to step forward and express their praise for Gu Yuan and other triumphant heroes.

The welcoming ceremony lasted for a full hour.

Lu Chiyu and Gu Yuan got together after the ceremony. After being separated by life and death, they reunited and wished they could stay together forever.

Chief Engineer Su was also very perceptive and immediately took the initiative to step forward and suggest giving Lu Chiyu a holiday.

He also told her to reunite with Gu Yuan and that she could return to the military factory whenever she wanted.

Lu Chiyu was a little surprised by this generosity, but she accepted it and said that she would continue to look up information at home to accumulate knowledge for her research.

When Lu Chiyu and the others returned to the military district's family compound amid the cheers of soldiers and civilians, as soon as the young couple entered the yard, Captain Gu finally couldn't help but hug Lu Chiyu in his arms.

What follows is naturally the heartwarming moment after the young couple's reunion...

Two days later, a memorial service for Colonel Zhou and his colleagues was held, and everyone in the military region attended.

Lu Chiyu was also elected to deliver a eulogy as a representative of military wives.

In her eulogy, the couplet she quoted, which commemorated the magnificent and tragic naval battle, continued to echo in everyone's ears long after the ceremony.

"Today the world is shedding tears, and the merits have enhanced the prestige of the navy!"

The bravery of Colonel Zhou and his men in dying together with the enemy is indeed enough to enhance the reputation of their country's navy, just like their predecessors.

Even though they knew they were far less powerful than the enemy, they still bravely advanced and sacrificed their lives to defend the land and homes behind them!

After the memorial service, countless people came to the military region to present wreaths to Colonel Zhou and others to mourn the passing of the heroes.

People from the military district and the general public also spontaneously raised funds for the families of Colonel Zhou and his group of martyrs. Lu Chiyu and Gu Yuan also donated 1,000 yuan, hoping that the money would allow the families of the heroes to receive better resettlement.

Three days after the memorial service, Colonel Zhou's wife and only daughter moved out of the military area.
