On the river beach, as the dusk grew darker, many corpses were found one after another.

And this was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for everyone present.

Inexplicably, everyone felt that the fatigue all over their bodies had disappeared, and even the wounds on their fingers seemed to be less painful.

As time passed, more and more bodies were excavated.

Some of the corpses were still intact, but some were in pieces.

It is not known whether it was caused at the time of death or formed after death.

Every time they found a body, everyone carried it to the white cloth aside.

Two hours later, a total of 107 skeletons were found.

In addition to the skeletons, a large number of weapons and equipment and rotten clothing were also unearthed.

Their previous belongings can be vaguely seen from the clothes, which are almost exactly the same as the clothes in the photos provided by the old man.

From this their identities can basically be determined.

They were the same group of martyrs who all died when they were responsible for containing the enemy near Shiniu Village more than 80 years ago.

After everyone repeatedly confirmed that nothing was missing at the scene, they walked to the corpses one by one with complicated expressions.

At this moment, these 107 corpses were lying neatly on pieces of white cloth.

Next to them were the weapons and equipment they used during their lifetimes and some of their relics.

When everyone's eyes glanced at the corpses and their relics, their noses felt sore, their eyes instantly turned red, and tears flowed down from the corners of their eyes unconsciously.

They range from the elderly in the village in their 80s and 90s to children in their 10s.

From the Green Vine military representatives to members of various agencies, everyone had tears in their eyes and heavy hearts.

It's not that they are sentimental, but the corpses in front of them are really too miserable.

Even if only the bones are left, one can still feel the brutality of that battle.

Almost no piece of their entire body is complete.

Bayonet and bullet scars can be seen everywhere.

Many of the corpses were extremely slender and not very tall, obviously caused by long-term malnutrition.

The weapons placed next to them also made people cry.

They are said to be firearms, but in fact they are just some crudely made guns and cannons.

Even among the 107 corpses at the scene, only 60 or 70 firearms were found.

It is difficult to find two identical ones.

In addition to firearms, there are even many large blades and spears.

And that's all they have.

They also relied on these to fight against the powerful enemy forces and successfully contained them, allowing the villagers of Shiniu Village enough time to evacuate.

Just as everyone was crying at the scene, the old man from before knelt tremblingly in front of the corpses.

"It's been more than 80 years. It's been more than 80 years. I finally found you. Why did you abandon me in the first place?"

"Leave me alone in this world."

While talking about the old man, he burst into tears. At the age of 96, he cried like a seven or eight-year-old child.

And everyone understood his performance very well.

All his comrades died, leaving him alone in this world, and even his unit number was abolished.

No one can accept this.

And while the old man was crying sadly, the villagers of Shiniu Village also knelt in front of these corpses under the leadership of their great uncle.

Without saying anything, they started kowtow.

Some elders who had experienced that incident also had tears in their eyes.

Although they do not have the comradeship of the old man, they are deeply grateful.

If it weren't for these martyrs in front of us, all the villagers in Shiniu Village would have been killed long ago.

It is impossible for these people to exist in this world now.

It was all the villagers of Shiniu Village that they saved, and they exchanged their lives for the continuation of the bloodline of Shiniu Village.

When the scenes that happened on the river beach were shown in the live broadcast room through the lens of the program team, each of the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room looked solemn.

And the emotions they contain are of another kind.

It is respect and regret for the revolutionary martyrs.

"My heart is very heavy now. Maybe there were countless of them before we could be where we are today."

"Although I have received relevant education since I was a child, I feel that no matter how much information and pictures there are, they are far less shocking than what I see now."

"Yeah, I used to be afraid of seeing skeletons and ghosts, but now I don't feel afraid at all."

"Why should we be afraid of a group of people who can risk their lives to protect us?"

"If I remember correctly, the number of people in the old man's previous photo was exactly 108, which means that except for the old man himself, all the remaining 170 people died here."

"I'm afraid they had already made up their mind to die."

"Knowing that you will die, you still have no hesitation."

"The eyes started peeing again."

"I hope that today's live broadcast content can be rotated across the entire network. They have been anonymous in this barren mountain and wilderness for decades."

"If possible, I hope to build a separate cemetery for them. I would like to visit them no matter how far away they are."

"Yeah. Yes, I also want to see them, and let them see us now, and let them know that their sacrifices were not in vain."

"The only troublesome thing is to find out their names and related information. It would be better if they can find their living relatives."

"It's basically impossible. There were no paper records at that time. Not to mention figuring out their names, it was also very difficult to match up their bones with numbers."

"I'm afraid the old man himself won't be able to recognize them now."

...

While the netizens in the live broadcast room were filled with emotion, the old man's emotions finally calmed down a little.

Under the gaze of everyone, he carefully took off his handkerchief from his chest, and then tried to wipe away the mud on the skeleton in front of him.

Seeing this scene, everyone present also started to help.

Without towels, they took off their clothes.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the 107 skeletons were quickly sorted out and the broken bones were pieced together.

They tried their best to keep the remains of these martyrs intact and clean.

After all this was completed, a military representative in military uniform came out.

Without saying a word, he took off his military cap and saluted the corpses.

Representatives from various agencies who came with him also followed suit.

"Daozhang Yang, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, these martyrs would be buried here forever."

"Next, our military will also work with relevant departments to transfer their remains to the Martyrs Cemetery as soon as possible."

"But there is one more task before that, and I may need to trouble you."

After hearing this, everyone seemed to have thought of something, and everyone looked at Yang Lin at the same time.
