Zhiyuan: “Do you know why there are names engraved on the abandoned turrets here?”

Rover: “Why?”

Zhiyuan: “Many years ago, the battlefield was filled with smoke as the Jinzhou Garrison regiment fought bravely and successfully pushed back the TD tide, reclaiming a small portion of the front line. In those times, the majority of soldiers were ordinary people, and the demands of war were such that not everyone who departed left something behind. Engraving the names of fallen comrades onto stone monuments might just be a way of commemorating their sacrifice and creating a sense of unity. The group then devised a method to engrave the names of the deceased soldiers onto the turrets and continue the tradition. The engravings here are their names.”

Rover: “You weren’t even born then, were you?”

Zhiyuan: “I didn’t know any of them, but my granpda said them so many times that I just remembered them all! When I was a kid, he barely mentioned his war experiences. Lately, he has become increasingly forgetful and tends to reminisce about his younger days. Grandpa was probably scared of forgetting, so he wanted other people to remember in his place. Anyway, I’ve heard it a million times and can’t forget it even if I tried, and even if Grandpa forgets, I’ll remember it for a few more decades. I can recite the names engraved on the monument backwards now.”

Rover: “Really?”

Zhiyuan: “Look, this is Shenyin, he’s nicknamed the Divine Eagle because of his incredible marksmanship. He stuck to the front line with his gun for two whole days so that the others could retreat without harm. When he eventually returned to rescue him, he discovered that his leg had been shattered, he had lost a [cutted].”

Zhiyuan: “This is… Little Bean, she doesn’t have a name, that’s what everyone calls her. She died as the first one to rush out and pull the alarm when the TD wave suddenly erupted, getting the TD’s attention and giving the others a chance to react. Do you still want to hear more?”

Rover: “Tell me more.”

Zhiyuan: “This one is Yuandong… next to this one is Beimo… Yuandong was a military doctor, and when the TD wave broke out, he died fighting without any medical support. Beimo was discovered in a cave-in after a week-long battle, and he rescued around twelve soldiers from starving to death beneath the sealed ground. Here is Ziyu, and this is Xiaohua… Do you still want to hear more?”

Rover: “I’ll pass.”

Zhiyuan: “Well, then I’ll stay here a little longer.”
