Chapter 454 The country will not forget you!
"I can deceive others, but I can't deceive myself!"

Zhang Chuan finally explained to Qiangwei: "A real man should do what he should do and what he shouldn't do! Since I have decided to fight across borders, I am ready to bear all the consequences!"

"If I am let off easily today, and my teammates deliberately cross the border but pretend to make a mistake in the future, what should I do then?"

Zhang Chuan's question left Qiangwei silent.

Behind every military regulation is a bloody lesson.

The reason why unauthorized cross-border warfare is prohibited is that once action is taken abroad, the initiative will be lost morally, and the timing, environment and people's hearts will be unfavorable, which may lead to unnecessary heavy sacrifices!
These rules are correct and must be strictly enforced!
From a big picture perspective, it is most appropriate for Zhang Chuan to admit his mistake.

"Your leave application has been approved!" Qiangwei said to Zhang Chuan expressionlessly, "Starting tomorrow, you can take a leave!"

"Thank you Captain!"

Zhang Chuan's voice was as calm as a machine, which made Qiangwei grit her teeth: "You are in such a hurry to go home, is there a little girl waiting for you at home?"

What does it mean?
Zhang Chuan looked at Qiangwei with confusion. What does it have to do with you whether I have a little girl at home or not?
Qiangwei didn't understand why she blurted out such a thing. Her face turned red and she yelled, "Just pretend I didn't ask! Get out of here!"

"Roger that!"

Zhang Chuan turned around and left without saying a word.

Qiangwei was left alone, feeling helpless!
Can't you see?
I'm so angry!
Can't you just say a few nice words to comfort me?

Obviously, Qiangwei won’t hear any good words from Zhang Chuan in the short term!
Now that his leave has been approved, it’s time for him to go meet Leng Feng!
One day later.

In a small village in western Hebei Province, China.

A tall figure stopped walking, he looked at the road sign, and finally couldn't help asking an old woman who was walking towards him, "Auntie, is there a young man named Leng Feng in the village?"

The old woman hesitated for a moment and pointed to a bungalow about 300 meters ahead: "That's Leng Feng's home."

As he spoke, the old man looked at Zhang Chuan scrutinizingly: "Are you Leng Feng's classmate?"

"Oh, what a pity! Such a good young man had to desert the army! It would have been fine if he had deserted, but he came back and hung out with hooligans, and finally got killed in a fight. It's not worth it!"

The old woman looked at the gift in Zhang Chuan's hand again: "Leng Feng was indeed a good boy in the past, no wonder you still remember him. It's a pity that people change too quickly!"

Zhang Chuan looked at the old woman, hesitant to speak!

He really wanted to tell the old woman that Leng Feng was not a deserter, he was not with the gangsters, and he did not die in a fight!

He became the target of drug dealers because he was trying to save hostages. He is a hero of the people!

However, Zhang Chuan couldn't say a word!
There is no way. For overall considerations, the truth of the matter has been completely blocked!
"Thank you, Auntie. I'll go to his house first!"

In the end, Zhang Chuan did not mention Leng Feng’s deeds. What would it matter even if he did?

Isn’t the dilemma that Leng Feng faces something that all special forces may encounter?
At no time can they reveal their identities at will. Carrying out the mission is both dangerous and must be kept strictly confidential!

It is very likely that he will not even be able to see his family for the last time before his heroic death!
The cold front is even worse!
He is clearly a top special forces soldier who has made great contributions to the country and the people, but in order to avoid causing confusion, the Hebei Province did not disclose the truth at all!

In this simple little mountain village, people thought Leng Feng was just a despised deserter!

"I didn't expect that Leng Feng had a friend like you... His grave is right next to the bamboo forest over there. If you want, go and take a look!"

"Don't worry, I will!"

At this time, Zhang Chuan hesitated to go to Leng Feng's house, so he went directly to Leng Feng's resting place. Soon, Zhang Chuan found Leng Feng's tombstone, on which was a photo of him smiling triumphantly!
After lighting the incense, candles and paper money, Zhang Chuan bowed three times to Leng Feng respectfully!
"Comrade Leng, I cannot change other people's misunderstandings, but in my heart, you are not only not a deserter, but a true Chinese soldier with blood!"

He fought against five international mercenary masters with his bare hands and killed two of them!

Zhang Chuan was deeply impressed by the amazing fighting power displayed by Leng Feng in that battle!

Then, Zhang Chuan took out the bottle he had prepared long ago: "This contains the blood of the international mercenary leader who attempted to assassinate you. I can't do much, I can only use it to commemorate you!"

The ashes of the ghost paper slowly rose, and Zhang Chuan's sorrow was clearly visible!
Just as Zhang Chuan poured out the bottle of blood, a breeze blew gently by, gently rolling up the burnt ashes and dissipating them with the wind.

"Brother Leng Feng, did you hear that?"

Zhang Chuan whispered: "I hope that in the next life, we can become true Chinese brothers who live and die together!"

As a staunch atheist, Zhang Chuan does not believe in ghosts or the afterlife!
But at this moment, he sincerely hoped that if there was an afterlife, they could meet again in China!
At this moment, Zhang Chuan's mind moved: "Hey, why is there someone here?"

Zhang Chuan quickly stood up and hid in a small bamboo forest nearby.

Due to the situation that happened in Leng Feng’s hometown, even though it had been a long time since the incident, Zhang Chuan still remained highly vigilant, like Iron Man with a radar warning turned on, always paying attention to his surroundings.

The whereabouts of everyone in the nearby villages were as clear as a picture in his mind.

Normally, ordinary interactions would not attract Zhang Chuan's attention.

This time it was different.

A man was walking straight towards Leng Feng's grave.

It is not Qingming Festival now, and there is nothing special around. Even farmland is not visible.

Zhang Chuan was almost certain that this person came to Leng Feng's tomb specifically.

"Who is the one?"

Soon, he saw a middle-aged man carrying a hoe. He was obviously surprised to see the incense and candles in front of Leng Feng's tomb!
Noticing the weeds that Zhang Chuan had crushed when he was kneeling, the man, who was probably in his fifties, suddenly had tears in his eyes!

"I knew my child's sacrifice would not be in vain!"

"The country will not forget you!"

"The country will not forget, your comrades will not forget, and the people you protect will not forget!"

Leng Feng's father had just returned from the fields and heard Aunt Wang at the entrance of the village mention that a stranger was asking about Leng Feng's family and seemed to have brought some offerings.

He immediately guessed that it must be people from his son’s unit who came to pay tribute!
However, looking around, there was no sign of Zhang Chuan blending into the bamboo forest and activating his camouflage skill.

There is no one around, how could there be anyone else?

Ugh!
Yes, the leaders of the armed forces have clearly stated that Leng Feng’s assassination involves state and military secrets, and the truth cannot be made public.

In addition, Leng Feng retired voluntarily and cannot be considered a martyr.

Even if Leng Feng's comrades came to visit, they might not leave their real names.

"That's enough! That's enough!"
