Dad kidnapped me to join the army, and the whole army asked me to be their instructor.

"dad!"

Lin Hui looked a little panicked: "You, why are you here?"

Lin Guangyao walked over with a smile and his hands behind his back: "This is the agreement between me and your commander. I will rush over immediately after receiving his call."

Lin Hui felt a little withdrawn in his heart, like a child who had done something wrong, so guilty that he did not dare to look into his eyes.

Lin Guangyao hugged him gently: "Let's go, I will take you to see some people."

Lin Hui didn't refuse, he just held him in his arms and walked up the steps step by step.

He secretly looked at his father out of the corner of his eye, worried that his father would blame him for this.

But Lin Guangyao always had a smile on his face, without the slightest hint of blame, and no anger could be seen.

This made his hanging heart immediately drop.

But a trace of doubt could not help but arise in his heart.

its not right?

Isn't this common sense?

The commander must have told him that he did not want to be a regiment leader, but only wanted to be an instructor.

Although I have all kinds of reasons, in the eyes of my father, this is a sign of lack of progress and cowardice.

He should be furious, but why today...

Soon, they reached the top of the steps.

Lin Guangyao took him deeper.

The passing tombstones stand silently like countless sentinels.

Finally, the two of them walked to the deepest part of the cemetery.

There is a separate hill here.

Under the hill, there are nine tombstones.

Lin Guangyao stopped and smiled faintly at the tombstones: "Old guys, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Today, I brought our third son here. Look, he is an amazing soldier now, even better than we were back then!"

Lin Hui was so happy to see his father that his face almost burst into laughter.

It also made him curious about the owner of the tombstone.

Looking at the nine mottled and old tombstones in front of us, they are obviously quite old.

The soldiers on the tombstones are all wearing early military uniforms.

Every photo is already a little yellowed.

He asked curiously: "Dad, who are they?"

Lin Guangyao laughed: "Come on, let me introduce you!"

He pointed to the first monument on the left and began to introduce them one by one.

"Qian Guohui, Lao Qian, the third heroic company of the 302nd Regiment, the deputy squad leader of the first class!"

"Hong Shan, he is the third heroic company of the 302nd Regiment, the first machine gunner!"

"Wei Yangjun, 302nd Regiment Hero Third Company, Machine Gun Deputy!"

"..."

Lin Hui's expression gradually became serious as he listened to his introductions one by one.

The third heroic company of the 302nd Regiment, a title he was too familiar with.

There is a broken flag hanging on the wall of Dad's study, with the characters "Three Heroes in a row" written on it.

Lin Guangyao pointed to the last one: "Zhao Tiesheng, the third heroic company of the 302nd Regiment, bombardier!"

Finally, he looked at Lin Hui and said solemnly and proudly: "I am Lin Guangyao, the former 302nd Regiment, the squad leader of the [-]st Squadron of the [-]rd Company of Heroes, they are all soldiers led by me!"

Lin Hui straightened up instantly and looked at him with bright eyes.

Lin Guangyao smiled slightly: "Relax, they are all your uncles, there is no need to be so nervous, just like your own family."

Although he said this, Lin Hui still tensed up and did not dare to relax at all: "Dad, why have I never heard you mention them? They..."

Lin Guangyao said with a smile: "I haven't mentioned them again because you were still young and ignorant at the time. I don't want it to come out of my mouth and become a joke in your heart."

He looked at the tombstone with nostalgia in his eyes: "Decades ago, we went to the west to participate in the battle together. In one operation, we went deep behind enemy lines and took down six enemy sentry posts in one fell swoop, destroyed a gunpowder magazine and captured alive More than 70 enemies!"

"But in the end they all died, and no one came back alive. Only I was seriously injured and escorted the prisoners back."

Lin Hui's eyes instantly shined, and he looked at the photos of the nine people with infinite respect in his heart.

Lin Guangyao smiled faintly: "Don't you always want to know why I have been so strict with you since you were a child? Do I still have to force you to become a soldier? Do I force you to join the army?"

He looked at Lin Hui, who also stared at him closely.

This has been his confusion since he was a child, and it has also been something that has troubled him since he entered the army.

Why is it that there are so many paths in life, but my father insists on forcing himself to join the army as a soldier.

There are many ways to gain experience, not just joining the army.

Now, is the mystery finally about to be solved?

Lin Guangyao took a deep breath and looked at these tombstones, as if he had opened a box that had been sealed for a long time: "Because, from the day I brought their bodies back, I swore to them that I would not let them Sacrifice in vain.”

"Originally, the person who died on the battlefield should be me, but they were the ones who protected me with their lives time and time again!"

Lin Hui's heart trembled, as if he had been brought into that era unknowingly.

Lin Guangyao pointed to a monument: "Qian Guohui! When a grenade was thrown at me on the battlefield, he protected me with his body."

"And he had 29 shrapnel wounds in his body and died heroically on the spot. After his body was brought back and cremated, the shrapnel and his ashes were fused together!"

"Zhao Tiesheng! When I was about to attack the enemy's bunker, he resolutely snatched my explosive pack and rushed forward before me. When he died, there were eighteen holes in his body!"

He pointed to a monument: "Hong Shan, when he died, he was only 17 years old. He was the youngest soldier in our class."

"When we rushed into the enemy's ammunition depot, I was knocked to the ground by a bullet. It was he who rushed up and blocked the fatal bullet for me with his body!"

Lin Guangyao's eyes became wet unconsciously: "They picked up my life, so when I brought them back, I made a promise to them."

"As long as I am alive and as long as there is a son in my Lin family, I will never let their descendants follow their path again!"

"I will protect the motherland for them. Their descendants should enjoy the lives of ordinary people and should not have to experience what we have experienced!"

Lin Hui was extremely shocked, and his eyes slowly turned red.

He never dreamed that his father forced him to become a soldier.

All because of a promise made decades ago.

Lin Guangyao suddenly said: "I'm sorry."

Lin Hui was shocked and looked at his father in disbelief.

Lin Guangyao also looked at him: "I know that I am a selfish person. They saved my life, but it has nothing to do with you. Because I made the decision without authorization and made a promise, I dragged you along with me. Come in."

"I have never given you any care since I was a child. I put all my energy into the army just because I had an extra responsibility on my shoulders at that time."

"I don't want my soldiers to die needlessly on the battlefield like them, nor do I want more families to lose their loved ones."

"But in the end, I neglected the people closest to me."

He bent slightly and bowed to Lin Hui: "Son, I'm sorry, I haven't been involved in your life since you were a child. I only gave you countless orders and constantly forced my thoughts on you."

"Forcibly dragging you into the promise I made without authorization, I also imposed my responsibility on you."

"Here today, in front of my brothers, Dad solemnly says sorry to you. I hope you can forgive me, a selfish old warlord."

At this moment, Lin Hui's tears fell crazily.

After he was injured during the last wildfire rescue, he got his father's approval and approval.

At that time, the knot in his heart had been resolved.

At that time, he just thought that his father was a rigid old soldier who did not know how to adapt, so he had to send his children into the army.

But now he finally understands why his father has been so strict over the years and why he insists on forcing him to join the army as a soldier...

Lin Guangyao took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Xiao Hui, you can become a good soldier because you can endure hardships, are determined, and have perseverance. Even if you take off your military uniform, you will be very successful no matter what you do!" "

"Old Xu told me, let me advise you to cheer up and be a good soldier. You will definitely surpass us in the future and even become a legendary general!"

"But I brought you here today just to tell you in front of them that you have endured too much."

"From today on, you can do whatever you want. Whether you are a regiment leader, an instructor, or even leaving the army, dad will support you in whatever you want to do!"

Lin Hui's eyes were filled with tears and his heart was filled with infinite warmth.

Lin Guangyao turned to look at several tombstones and smiled slightly: "Brothers, originally I wanted each of my sons to become the best soldiers, so that they could bring out many outstanding soldiers to defend the motherland and the people! "

"Xiao Hui has now brought out many great soldiers, all of them are powerful and powerful. They are much stronger than us before. They are known as the best in the southwest!"

"Today's troops are much more powerful than we were in the past. We no longer have to sacrifice our lives to block gun holes, and we no longer have to carry explosive packs to blow up bunkers!"

"We now have heavy-duty howitzers with long-range precision guidance. When rockets fly, they can spread out over a large area. If you need air support, just call in and several bombers will fly right away. The food for the troops is much better than before, and there is meat for every meal. , the soldiers can all be well fed..."

He smiled with tears in his eyes, and his face was filled with pride and excitement: "Damn it, our country has suffered so many injustices to get to where we are today!"

Lin Hui next to him covered his face with his arms and was already crying.

He knew very well that today's prosperous and prosperous times were obtained with the blood and lives of the older generation.

Without them, there would be no tranquility and peace in today's times. There are always people carrying the burden forward.

Lin Guangyao took a deep breath to calm down: "Brothers, please forgive me, I may have made a mistake. Your children and your relatives are now living a good life."

"Xiaohui has given too much. I will never be sorry for him in my life. Now let me be the master and let him do what he wants to do."

"The motherland has me, and my eldest son and second son, guarding it for you!"

He looked at Lin Hui and smiled: "Go ahead and do what you want to do. Dad will always support you!"

At this moment, Lin Hui burst into tears and knelt on the ground trembling.

Half facing Lin Guangyao, half facing the nine tombstones.

He cried and shouted hysterically from the bottom of his heart: "Dad, I want to be a soldier, I want to be a good soldier!"
