Chapter 869: That Mission
He Xiyan looked at the tombstone and found that the martyr was also a soldier of the Fifth Commando, and was also very young, looking only in his twenties.
Then they came to the fifth, sixth, and seventh tombs...
Jiahang placed a bunch of chrysanthemums in front of each tomb. He Xiyan followed Jiahang to mourn these soldiers who died for the country.
However, when they came to the eleventh tomb, He Xiyan was stunned. Her eyes were fixed on the portrait on the tombstone. The photo also belonged to a young soldier, but this soldier actually...
He Xiyan looked at the photo for a long time in disbelief, and then suddenly turned her head to look at Jiahang beside her.
He Xiyan felt incredible. She found that the owner of this tomb actually looked very similar to Jiahang. Could this be...
He Xiyan was frightened by the scene in front of her. She stood there, her feet seemed to be nailed.
Captain of the Fifth Commando, Major of the Seventh Battalion of the People's Defense Army, Tomb of Martyr Gu Shaoqian?
"Jiahang!" He Xiyan couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. She was so surprised that it was like a thunder exploded above her head.
At this time, a hand hugged her shoulders.
Chen Jiahang pulled her into his arms.
"It's me!" he said in a deep voice. There was an undispelled sadness in his eyes.
"You are..." He Xiyan pointed at the tomb and shook her head in disbelief.
Chen Jiahang patted her shoulder, and tears suddenly welled up in his slightly closed eyes. And his face was unusually sad at this moment.
"Yes." He sighed and said, "This is me. This is the tomb they built for me. Nine soldiers of our Fifth Commando died in an anti-terrorism rescue mission in 2016. The first eight were my comrades. I saw them being shot and left one by one. In order to get those children back, I took the initiative to enter the terrorist base. Later, I was tied up and thrown to a cliff by the terrorists."
Speaking of this, Chen Jiahang turned his head and couldn't hold back his tears. His heart was like being cut by a knife, and it hurt badly. He was sad, not because he was thrown into the cliff, but because the mission was not successful. His comrades died or were injured, and they only rescued a part of the children. Dozens of children were killed by terrorists one after another.
Chen Jiahang clenched his fingers tightly and clenched his teeth. Thinking of that mission, he was still very sad and angry.
Even now that he knew that the terrorist organization had been completely eliminated, he still couldn't get rid of his anger.
He Xiyan was stunned. In addition to shock, there was also a kind of heartache in her eyes. She felt sorry for these young soldiers and Jiahang. She couldn't imagine what he had experienced.
She remembered that they watched a movie last year, a military movie about anti-terrorism. Jiahang had an abnormal condition when they only watched half of it. He had a headache and left the theater directly. Now that she thought about it, the movie should be adapted from what Jiahang and his friends had experienced.
It was too scary. She was still frightened when she thought of the scenes in the movie. She couldn't believe that these were real things.
"Jiahang..." He Xiyan hugged Jiahang tightly, put her face on his chest, and listened to her rapid breathing due to sadness.
"Jiahang, let's go back." He Xiyan said in a deep voice.
