Wangzhuang is located in the eastern suburbs of Xuzhou, where the Wu clan temporarily lives.

As the sun set, Li Siwei hurried into the village with a team of brothers, all of whom were brothers who joined the Third Regiment in Pingyi City, and after receiving the order to rest at noon, they hurried back to say goodbye to their families.

Li Siwei came here to pay homage to Old Man Wu, and Old Man Wu was kind to the three regiments.

There is an unnamed hill at the east entrance of the village, and Wu Tianyou took Li Siwei and a cadre of Wu's children along the trail all the way, climbed over the mountain beam, and reached the northeast slope.

A new grave was added to the small open space, a low mound, and a tombstone without words...... Old Man Wu's tomb faces the direction of Pingyi City, looking lonely and desolate in the sunset.

The people came forward and finished worshipping one by one...... No one knows if they will be able to come back alive!

When descending the mountain, the atmosphere was a little dreary.

Li Siwei hesitated for a moment, and opened his mouth gently, "Brother Wu, the old man's tomb ......"

Wu Tianyou glanced up at Li Siwei, "It was ordered by my uncle." He said that when the Anti-Japanese War was won, his bones would be moved back to Pingyi, and by that time...... Re-engraving. ”

"Oh," Li Siwei nodded, a little puzzled, "Brother Wu, you all call the old man Uncle Zu?" ”

Wu Tianyou sighed softly, "Uncle Ancestor originally had an only son, that is, Uncle Xuanqing, who was killed in the anti-Qing movement more than twenty years ago......"

Li Siwei nodded, didn't say anything more, and was speechless all the way.

After going down the mountain, the brothers were already waiting at the entrance of the village.

Li Siwei looked at the sky and sighed, "Brother Wu, the order has come down, and our team is about to go to Luohe...... I'm afraid this Xuzhou is...... You have to plan ahead. ”

Wu Tianyou was stunned and smiled softly, "Thank you Commander Li, but we won't go again." Uncle said to keep the roots...... Our roots are in Pingyi. ”

Li Siwei smiled bitterly, "But, little devil ......"

Wu Tianyou waved his hand, "Commander Li, come on, little devils, my Wu clan will not let them bully!" ”

Li Siwei sighed and didn't persuade again, "In this case, our regiment still has surplus weapons, if Brother Wu doesn't dislike it, I'll let someone send it over." ”

"This," Wu Tianyou was stunned, "will it cause you trouble?" ”

Weapons, he naturally wanted! It's troubled times!

Li Siwei smiled slightly, "They were all captured in the hands of the little devils, and there are more guns and less ammunition...... When the bullets ran out, the gun was useless, and besides, there were some guys we didn't use it. ”

For example, the king eight boxes are not as good as spears and bayonets on the battlefield...... Li Siwei always remembered that when the devil officer shot himself with that gun, the gun exploded and injured himself.

When Wu Tianyou heard this, he hugged his fists, "Then Wu Mou thanked Commander Li, and I will send someone to fetch it." ”

"It's okay," Li Siwei nodded, "Our team will pass by nearby early tomorrow morning, you let people wait at the intersection, I will let God bless them to leave in advance and send them over to you." ”

When Li Siwei and his entourage returned to the giant village, it was already ten o'clock at night.

As soon as he entered the village, Gan Fei and Liu Heishui greeted him, Gan Fei's face was full of resentment, and Liu Heishui looked helpless.

Li Siwei glanced at the two of them, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Heishui looked at Gan Fei and smiled bitterly at Li Siwei, "This turtle can't bear that tank...... Trouble me. ”

Li Siwei suddenly glared at Gan Fei, "You haven't had a turtle yet?" ”

"Regiment commander," Gan Fei was a little excited, "the tanks were captured by us, why do you want to give them to them?" ”

"You stunned baby!" Li Siwei scolded with a smile: "What do we want that tank for?" When the gasoline runs out, that thing will become a thing that won't move the nest! When the time comes, do you put it there to eat ashes? Wouldn't it be nice to hand it over to the friendly army and let them use it to fight devils? ”

Gan Fei looked at Li Siwei with a sneer, "But ......"

Li Siwei waved his hand, "Our regiment is not qualified to drive tanks now, understand?" ”

"Oh," Gan Fei nodded wistfully.

Liu Heishui breathed a sigh of relief, "The regiment commander is right, if you hand over the tanks and cars, you can leave more weapons and ammunition...... That's what we're going to need. ”

Li Siwei came to the spirit, "How much did you stay?" ”

Liu Heishui hurriedly smiled: "They don't want guns, they got all the wild artillery...... The mortars left us six, and a hundred and twenty shells. ”

Li Siwei breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good, Lao Tzu now has guns and cannons!" ”

"yes!" Liu Heishui nodded, full of emotion, "Think about what we used when we were in the Sichuan Army?" The old guns can't be divided into a single shot......"

Li Siwei sighed, "The national strength is weak, such a big war, it is not easy to support it, and many local troops are like this." ”

"Yes," Gan Fei also nodded, "Our original troops are like this. ”

"Hehe," Li Siwei smiled, "Heishui, get out the rich guns and ammunition a little bit......"

Liu Heishui was stunned, his face was full of nervousness, "Which one to give?" ”

Li Siwei patted him on the shoulder, "Send it to Brother Wu...... Don't need more, give him all those Wang Ba boxes, and give him dozens of spears. ”

"Commander," Liu Heishui hesitated, "Why don't you keep the spear...... Maybe you can use it someday. ”

"Send," Li Siwei waved his hand and went to the village, "Lao Tzu is going to use it, and then grab it from the little devils, anyway, there are many of them!" ”

As soon as Li Siwei walked into the headquarters, he saw Luo Ping'an, and there were thirteen brothers who came back with him, all of whom were seriously injured in that battle.

Li Siwei was overjoyed and hurriedly walked in, "Brothers, are you all back?" ”

"Captain!" Everyone hurriedly stood up, all of them pale, obviously not yet healed.

"Sit down," Li Siwei's gaze swept from his familiar faces, "We're going to transfer, your body ......"

"Report to the head of the group," Luo Ping'an stood up suddenly, saluted with a "snap", and looked at Li Siwei with a firm expression, "We can keep up!" ”

It may have been too much of a movement that tugged at the wound, his brows furrowed tightly together, and his teeth clenched.

Li Siwei nodded hurriedly, "Okay, sit down...... Lao Tzu once said that every brother in the special service company is a mountain, and nothing can crush you! ”

"Yes," a smile appeared on the pale faces, their bodies were still weak, but their spirits were as strong as ever.

Human beings are the most amazing species in the world. Everyone is the only existence, just as some people are as fragile as ceramics, unable to fall or smash, while others are like iron and stone, unable to break or broken...... These brothers are the latter!

Li Siwei suddenly had some doubts, and looked at Feng Zhenyi on the side, "Feng Zhenyi, how can you pick them up so quickly?" ”

Huang Hua smiled, "It's not that I went to pick them up, I met them not long after crossing the river, and it was the brothers of the 52nd Army who sent them back." ”

Li Siwei was stunned and looked at Luo Ping'an.

Luo Ping'an smiled, "I heard from the fellow countryman, Taierzhuang is in full swing...... So, when we were able to move, we thought about coming back, and when we met the brothers of the 52nd Army on the road, they sent us over. ”

"Hehe," Li Siwei smiled, "You're lucky......

Soon, Ning Rou also returned, and she took a team of people to the military station hospital to receive the injured brothers.

Ning Rou's face was a little tired, "I only took back one hundred and twelve...... Thirteen brothers did not return. ”

Li Siwei waved his hand and sighed, "Forget it, you go and rest first, and you will start tomorrow." ”

Ning Rou didn't move, and looked at Li Siwei deeply, "Yang Fan...... He ......"

Li Si was stunned, and his voice sank, "He's a turtle and a deserter?" ”

"No!" Ning Rou was suddenly a little excited, her eyes were red, and her lips were trembling, "He's not a deserter...... He said...... He said he could not be a burden to the Third Regiment...... He...... He's gone. ”

"Gone?" Li Siwei was startled and roared loudly, "He's a deserter!" Lao Tzu said that those who give up their lives easily are deserters! ”

The crowd was silent.

Ning Rou waited for him to finish yelling before she shook her head gently, "It's not what you think, he...... And the disabled brothers...... Back to my hometown! The brothers who stayed behind said they had been gone for days. ”

Li Siwei was shocked, as if he had been struck by lightning, "Turtles, they ...... Why are you so stupid! At least I should say a word to Lao Tzu...... They went back like this, what will they do in the future? ”

Ning Rou turned her head and cried, "They...... They said...... With your own hands, you can feed yourself, so that you don't have to worry about them, and take your brothers to fight devils well......"

As she spoke, she turned her head and ran out, tears spilling down her face.

"Turtle, why are you so stupid?" Li Siwei stood still, muttering to himself, but tears had fallen silently.

The brothers hung their heads, they didn't want others to see the tears in their eyes.

"Lao Tzu gives you a crutch, as long as you can keep up with the marching speed of the large army, you are still the commander of the engineer company...... Tell me, can you keep up? ”

"Keep up!"

"Good...... All for Lao Tzu to remember, the three regiments will always be the three regiments of all the brothers of the three regiments, as long as you don't die, you are the soldiers of the three regiments, if you die...... The living brotherhood will put you here! ”

Huang Hua and Sun Dali walked out of the door, and when they saw the appearance of everyone, they quietly retreated.

Li Siwei turned his face to the side, and his voice was hoarse, "In the future, no one is allowed to be like them again...... Did you hear that? ”

"Hmm," the crowd nodded.

"Alas," Li Siwei let out a long sigh, "Feng Zhenyi, the brothers have returned to the team today, go tell Wei Yidao and let him add another dish." ”

"Yes," Feng Zhenyi agreed, and left in a hurry.

Li Siwei secretly wiped a handful of tears and strode to the door, "Huang Hua, Sun Dali, what are you two turtles doing outside?" Come over to Lao Tzu ......"

The two walked over in a daze, "Commander, aren't we looking at the ...... inside"

Li Siwei waved his hand and looked at them with blazing eyes, "Are you all right?" ”

"Okay," the two looked at each other and smiled, "It's not okay to work hard for the time being, but it's okay to rest!" ”

"It's okay," Li Siwei breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to be back, take care of it." ”

"Yes!" The two "snapped" and saluted.

Li Siwei smiled, "Let's go around, say hello to the brothers, the special service has added some new faces." ”

"I've seen it," Huang Hua smiled, "that guy who shoots arrows...... I said, "How can you let him go!" ”

Li Siwei glared, "What do you mean that Lao Tzu won't let him go?" Who called it to meet again later! It's a ...... arranged by God."

"Yes, yes," the two nodded again and again, "It's good to have such a good man as a brother!" ”

"Oh," Sun Dali suddenly slapped his forehead, "Xiao Liang, they can't come back, there are too many wounded in the war zone, and they are left behind." ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Well, I see." ”

Huang Hua sighed, "Taierzhuang fought too badly, at the beginning he desperately sent the wounded to the hospital, and soon filled the hospital to the back...... I haven't sent it again, I heard that they are all fighting with the little devils in the city......"

Li Siwei nodded silently and looked up at the sky...... This is war!

It was very late at night, and Li Siwei sat under the dim oil lamp, gently flipping through a booklet.

The booklet is a little worn, he ordered it himself when he was in Taiping Village, and the names on it were also written by himself: Old Squad Leader, Huang Maoer, Wang Dafu, Wang Xizi...... Tang Monk, Chen Dashan, Scarface, Fat Regiment Leader...... Since he came to this world, every brother who has died in battle, with and without a name, has been on it.

He was afraid, afraid that one day he would forget them, forget their appearance, forget their names, forget that they had shed blood for this land!

This night, Li Siwei tossed and turned, and it was not until the second half of the night that he fell asleep in a daze.

In his sleep, he saw Yang Fan again in a trance, he was still so tall, but his temples were already gray, and his face was full of vicissitudes. He stood at the entrance of the village, leaning on a cane, his back straight, and behind him was a strange village, hidden in the green mountains and green waters...... He was laughing, as if to say: Commander, why are you here? Are the brothers all right?

Li Siwei tried to open his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound at all, he was in a hurry, he wanted to say, there were many things he wanted to say...... In a hurry, in a hurry, he cried, still unable to make a sound, but his heart was damp, and it seemed as if it was raining, a downpour......

Suddenly, Li Siwei found that he could speak out, "Turtle, why are you so stupid......"

At this time, he realized that he had woken up, but the corners of his eyes were wet.

Liu Heishui's voice sounded outside, "Commander, Commander......"

Li Siwei calmed down, turned over and got out of bed, and walked to the door, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Heishui paused, "Wu Tianyou has already taken his brothers away, and he has gathered forty short and forty long ......."

"Squeak......

Li Siwei opened the door and nodded at Liu Heishui, "Okay, Heishui, it's not a loss to send a gun to Brother Wu...... They are also fighting devils with guns. ”

"Hmm," Liu Heishui nodded.

Li Siwei sighed, "The Wu family is all loyal and righteous people, and the old man is kind to us, so he can help if he can." ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei looked up at the sky, the remnants of the stars were fading, the moon was dark, the sky was almost dawn, and it was time to go.
