Some martyrs who were still wearing civilian clothes because they had not yet been issued military uniforms could only say goodbye in civilian clothes. As a newly formed local armed force, many of the soldiers in this battalion are not yet fully equipped. When these soldiers went to battle, they were still wearing the clothes they brought from home when they joined the army.

As a soldier who sacrificed his life to defend his family and country, he couldn't even wear a military uniform when he was buried. Although the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who were killed over there, except for the steel helmets on their heads, they were all dressed as the Eighth Route Army, and they were all full sets of Eighth Route Army uniforms.

But no one took it off them, it wasn't the uniform they were supposed to wear. Although Ma Yongcheng also thought about it, he could see that the deputy commander-in-chief was by his side, but he still didn't dare to make this decision in the end. Looking at the martyrs who died before they had time to issue their uniforms, the deputy commander-in-chief took off the military hat on his head and brought it to the head of a martyr.

Other cadres who followed the deputy commander-in-chief to the front line also took off their military caps and brought them to the martyrs who were still wearing civilian clothes. This was the only thing their superiors could do for them at the moment without being able to provide them with even a set of military uniforms that would prove their identity.

Of all the people, only Guo Xiaoshan is a little special. In addition to the new military uniform on his body, the wife of the deputy commander-in-chief contributed the only Japanese military blanket she had, covered Guo Xiaoshan's body and buried it with the stretcher under her. As a female soldier, she was buried in a new military uniform wrapped in a blanket, which was her only special treatment.

In the process of breaking through at that time, in order to protect the wife of the deputy commander-in-chief and the wife of another chief, Li Ziyuan considered that they were all women, and it was not very convenient to arrange male guards. Not to mention the cleverness and cleverness, there is also Guo Xiaoshan, who has good marksmanship, to protect these female cadres and soldiers.

Along the way, the wife of the deputy commander-in-chief liked Guo Xiaoshan very much, and the two got along very well. The deputy commander-in-chief also said that when the Japanese were driven away, he recommended Guo Xiaoshan to study at his alma mater and become a college student in the future. Guo Xiaoshan's sacrifice made this female cadre, who now regards Guo Xiaoshan as her sister, not much less sad than Li Ziyuan.

Not only did she not have a fake hand, but she cleaned Guo Xiaoshan's body cleanly. When he couldn't find a new military uniform, he took out the military uniform he had when he married the deputy commander-in-chief. I couldn't bear to hurt this sister's face with the dirt, so I took out the only military blanket I had and saw this little sister off.

When a spade was shoveled up to cover the sacrificed martyrs, representing that they were eternally separated from the living, there were bursts of low cries at the scene. The wife of the deputy commander-in-chief gagged her mouth with a military hat and swallowed silently.

Those former comrades-in-arms who sacrificed the martyrs, and some of them even wailed and cried. For these recruits, the impression of a battle that cost them so much was too impressive. All the other living people present couldn't help but choke

And at this moment, God also seems to be infected by the sad atmosphere on the ground, and it has not rained since the beginning of spring. But I didn't know that a cumulonimbus cloud drifted from there, and just as the buried people began to shovel the earth, a misty drizzle also fell in the sky, as if God was also crying.

After all the martyrs were buried, Li Ziyuan asked people to find a piece of wood to stand in front of Guo Xiaoshan's tomb, with the words "The tomb of his beloved wife Guo Xiaoshan" and the words "Li Ziyuanli" written on it. Guo Xiaoshan's thoughts, Li Ziyuan is not unclear. But he has always put this girl who has put his heart on himself, and he has always regarded it as his sister.

Since knowing that Guo Xiaoshan is a girl, he has never had any thoughts about Guo Xiaoshan. Even when he was in front of Guo Laosan's body, Li Ziyuan did not have anything other than family affection for Guo Xiaoshan. I figured it out now, but it was too late for anything.

Li Ziyuan erected this monument, not to save anything, let alone to comfort Guo Xiaoshan, who was forever separated from heaven and man at this time. At this time, it was too late to say anything, Li Ziyuan was actually doing this to appease his painful heart, and it was also a consolation to Guo Laosan, who was not worried about his daughter until he died.

Seeing Li Ziyuan's simple tombstone, Ma Yongcheng and He Sanliang glanced at each other, but shook their heads and said nothing. Although Ma Yongcheng thinks that it is inappropriate for Li Ziyuan to do this, after all, the marriage of cadres requires the approval of superiors and strict review.

Li Ziyuan did not report it or go through any formalities, so he regarded Guo Xiaoshan as his wife, which is very inappropriate. But now that the Si people have gone, the simple tombstone erected by Li Ziyuan is only a comfort to the deceased, not that Li Ziyuan really got married without asking for instructions.

Moreover, neither the deputy commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff present said anything, nor did Ma Yongcheng say anything. It's just that before the transfer, he took out a little savings from the rest of the army and handed it to the local village chief, asking him to find an appropriate time to replace the two wooden tombstones with stone ones.

The local village chief refused to accept the money handed over by Ma Yongcheng. just told Ma Yongcheng that these two monuments were immediately arranged. There are some stones on the mountain, just find two stonemasons to deal with them. There are stonemasons in their village, and they don't need to spend money at all.

These Eighth Route Army are all martyrs who sacrificed their lives to resist Japan, and they erected monuments for the martyrs as their own contribution to the resistance against Japan, and this money cannot be collected. He promised that in ten days at most, he would definitely erect a monument to these martyrs. Please rest assured that Ma Yongcheng, the head of the Eighth Route Army, will definitely not delay the matter.

As for the Japanese soldiers who were killed, Li Ziyuan also asked people to erect a simple tombstone in front of their collective graves, indicating their identities. Li Ziyuan's approach surprised everyone. Faced with the questioning of the fighters, Li Ziyuan just told them.

The current situation is not tense, and when the Japanese reinforcements arrive, it is customary to dig up their graves and cremate the bodies in urns and take them away. Now make an identification mark, don't let the devil reinforcements arrive and dig up the graves of our martyrs.

After doing all this, although I was reluctant to give up, there was already a faint sound of gunfire from the outside. But it was to let me know that it was the special task force that was responsible for the guard of the perimeter of the headquarters, and Li Ziyuan, who was fighting fiercely with the reinforcements of the Japanese army who were coming. I knew that with the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, this was no longer a place to stay for a long time.

Glancing at Guo Xiaoshan's cemetery again, Li Ziyuan, whose eyes were moist again, gritted his teeth and took the troops around him who had been reduced to a company, carrying Zhang Zijian, who was wounded in five places in hand-to-hand combat at the moment, and was wrapped like a zongzi at this time, and followed the headquarters to quickly transfer.

And when the martyrs were buried here, the headquarters over there had already completed preparations for the transfer. After the busy work here, because of the frequent transfer during the entire anti-sweeping period, he has become an expert in this area, and the headquarters organs that have been packed in the shortest possible time have quickly evacuated under the protection of the security forces, which has become an unsafe place.

After the transfer of the headquarters was completed, the headquarters special service group that served as a guard on the periphery also took turns to cover and break away from contact with the Japanese reinforcements. By the time Tsuruta Numan arrived at the battlefield with reinforcements, the headquarters had disappeared into the reckless Taihang Mountains. The only thing left for the Japanese army was a messy battlefield.

When he saw the large tomb on the battlefield where the tomb of the Japanese advance team stood in battle, Tsuruta Numa's eyes couldn't help but go dark, and he almost fainted. The three advance teams that he had painstakingly managed for more than a year and painstakingly built up could be said to have all been wiped out by this time.

And the ultimate goal of setting up these three advance teams was not able to accomplish any of them. More than 300 elites who have been painstakingly trained by themselves, especially the 120 who are buried here now, have undergone the most special training. But none of them survived, which undoubtedly made Tsuruta Numan extremely frustrated.

If the first two Mashiko Advance Team and Okawa Advance Team are lost, Tsuruta Numan can still accept it. Then the advance team that lost in this battle was the most difficult for Tsuruta Numu to accept. Compared to the first two advance teams, this advance team poured more effort into him.

Just to complete the parachute training, he specially tried his best to transfer a whole Japanese army from the mainland, which was also in the newly formed paratrooper unit, and there were not many instructors and a batch of parachutes imported from Germany. All the weapons and equipment were also obtained by him through an uncle who was in a high-ranking position in the base camp.

All the members of this advance team are veterans of more than one year who have been drawn from the divisional search wing. All officers and non-commissioned officers are also strictly selected. Several officers are all graduates of Nakano School, and the squadron leader has undergone dual training at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and Nakano School.

In order to select these people, Tsuruta Numan even offended a large number of officers in the division. In particular, the officers of the search wing hated themselves almost to the bone because their best subordinates were poached in large numbers. He wants to fight the battle, and people are also counting on accumulating military exploits to climb up.

These experienced veterans are treasures in that unit. Especially those veterans who can speak some Chinese, they are the treasures of treasures. In order to form this advance team, he poached the best soldiers and non-commissioned officers of the division and regimental search wing, can people not hate him?

Tsuruta Numanan did not hesitate to offend a large number of colleagues, and used all the connections at his disposal to form this army, from officers to soldiers, all of whom could speak Chinese, were familiar with Chinese way of life, and were proficient in infiltration, raiding, fighting, and parachuting.

Originally, it was expected that this advance team would be able to play a huge role on the battlefield. In one fell swoop, he eliminated the headquarters of the Eighteenth Army that endangered North China, won a medal for himself, and made the best preparation for his eventual wearing of the general's star. As a result, the whole army was wiped out in the first battle, and not even a seed was left for him.

Looking at the corpses that had been excavated and neatly stacked together to be cremated, the muscles on Tsuruta Numanan's face twitched. He knew that the commander and chief of staff of this division supported the advance team he had formed under tremendous pressure from within the division and even the First Army, and that the entire army had been wiped out before it could play the role they had expected.

With this defeat, the division commander and chief of staff will not give themselves any more opportunity to reorganize another such unit. After he returns to Changzhi, what awaits him is probably a dismissal order. The best result is to transfer to other units.
