Ye Wanying naturally wouldn't ask any further questions after that; to continue would be to spy on military secrets!
.........
Two or three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the group finally became quiet!
Wang Xuezhou was then taken over by someone from above, and of course, the old squad leader was also investigated in the meantime.
After a unanimous decision by the leaders above, it is imperative to hold a solemn memorial service for the former battlefield heroes!
And today happens to be the day of the old squad leader's burial!
There weren't many people at the cemetery, just a few familiar faces like Old Xu and the instructor! Of course, the leaders who had a good relationship with the old squad leader had arrived early, but left after a while.
Ye Wanying could imagine that the death of the old squad leader must have been a heavy blow to the hearts of the old leaders!
Therefore, it's impossible for me to stay here for very long!
Gao Dan, Instructor Zhao, and Lao Xu were all soldiers who had been led by the old squad leader. They stayed until the end, and even he and Tuanzi stayed as family members!
Although the grown men did not cry or shed tears, everyone could feel the heavy and intense sorrow they exuded!
Zhao Shuai squatted in front of the tombstone, took the bottle of baijiu that Lao Xu handed him, unscrewed the cap, and poured it on the ground:
"Old squad leader, I know you like this, let's drink to our hearts' content today!"
After saying that, he emptied a bottle of liquor, then took out a cigarette case from his pocket, lit three cigarettes, and stuck them on the ground.
Holding her son's hand, Ye Wanying walked step by step towards the tombstone, respectfully placing a bouquet of flowers on the ground.
"Tuanzi, what did Mommy teach you before?"
Upon hearing this, Tuanzi obediently bowed three times to the tombstone, her face looking particularly devout!
Ye Wanying deeply respected this true hero who sacrificed himself for others, so she taught her son to do the same before coming.
Furthermore, the old squad leader could also be considered the father's teacher!
Of course, I am worthy of this child's kneeling!
Although the three men beside them did not say anything, their eyes did not lie. In particular, Commander Gao, who had been silent since they came up the mountain and had not uttered a single word, moved his stiff eyes and looked deeply at the mother and child in front of him!
"Wu Jin is outside. You take the child and go back first!"
His voice was dry and hoarse from not speaking for so long, which was quite heartbreaking!
Ye Wanying nodded: "Okay! We'll be going now!"
............
As soon as Ye Wanying came down the mountain, she saw Wu Jin standing by the car waiting for her!
"Sister-in-law, the regimental commander told me to wait for you and your daughter here, and then take you back!"
It seems that the man had arranged everything in advance!
Let's go!
.............
In front of the tombstone, three men sat on the ground, their backs against the tombstone, completely disregarding their appearance.
"How is the investigation progressing?"
Zhao Shuai naturally knew that the regimental commander was asking him, and he also knew which matter it was about: "It involves too many things, and there are still some things that haven't been uncovered!"
Gao Dan understood this perfectly: "Yes, speed things up, be bold but careful, we can't let the old squad leader and the others die in vain!"
Every word he uttered carried a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine!
The old squad leader left behind evidence with his own life, so it must be handled properly without any accidents!
Zhao Shuai and Lao Xu were aware of the situation: "At most... another month!"
