Before Zhang Zijian was sent to the field hospital, he confessed that this correspondent, who had followed him for more than half a year, had a very lively head and good marksmanship, and asked him to temporarily serve as Li Ziyuan's guard. For Zhang Zijian, when he went to the hospital, it is estimated that he will not be able to come back for a month.

I went to the hospital to recuperate, and I couldn't take a correspondent with me. In this battle, Li Ziyuan's guards died, and Guo Xiaoshan, who had been secretly protecting Li Ziyuan, also died. Li Ziyuan didn't even have a person to take care of him at the moment, and Zhang Zijian was very careful to keep his correspondent.

Regarding Zhang Zijian's kindness, Li Ziyuan accepted it without hesitation. It's not that he has to be paired with a guard, but he doesn't even have a communicator by his side now, which is a little inconvenient. And this correspondent is also very conscientious, Li Ziyuan is on the side of the strict guard when he sleeps.

But Li Ziyuan was lying on the haystack of this empty livestock shed, but he didn't sleep soundly. He dreamed of Guo Laosan, who had already died, and accused himself of not fulfilling his original promise and not taking care of his daughter. In the face of Guo Laosan's accusations in the dream, Li Ziyuan, who was ashamed in his heart, felt that he had nothing to say.

And Guo Xiaoshan, who also appeared in the dream, did not say anything to him. But when those big eyes looked at him, the extreme reluctance and nostalgia in their eyes also made Li Ziyuan's heart silent in a landless self-esteem. For Li Ziyuan, this wordless approach made him feel even more pain in his heart.

Li Ziyuan, who was in his sleep, was embarrassed in the face of Guo Laosan's accusations, faced with Guo Xiaoshan's attachment and reluctance, and even struggled. The voice of Ma Yongcheng in his ears called him back from his sleep. Looking at Li Ziyuan, who was sweating profusely, Ma Yongcheng said: "Have a nightmare? Who did you dream about? ”

Li Ziyuan, who had completely woken up from his dream for a long time, did not answer Ma Yongcheng immediately, and was silent for a long time before looking up at Ma Yongcheng. After seeing Ma Yongcheng's straight hair, he spoke: "Old Ma, do you say that there will really be a netherworld in this world, and there will really be reincarnation and the afterlife?" ”

Li Ziyuan's inquiry startled Ma Yongcheng. After a quick look at the surrounding situation, Ma Yongcheng said: "Lao Li, we are all party members, and according to the regulations, we should all be atheists, why do you still believe in these things?" It's okay for you to say this, but don't say it in front of others. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Yongcheng hesitated for a moment, but still said: "As for whether there are such things as the underworld and reincarnation, if you ask me, I can only say that I don't know." Because I haven't been to that kind of place either, and no one who has been to that kind of place has ever returned. Whether there is an afterlife or not, I am even less clear. ”

"Because I never knew what I was doing in my last life. So, I don't know if there is an afterlife. If others know about it or not, then I don't know, anyway, I haven't heard of it. However, this is an old saying that has been passed down in China for thousands of years, and maybe there may be. Why did you dream of Xiaoshan just now? ”

"Lao Li, I know that you and Xiaoshan have different feelings. But after all, she has already gone, even if there is a netherworld and reincarnation, what can she do? Now that you and her are forever separated, at least in this life, it is impossible to see each other. As for whether you will meet in the next life, don't ask me, I don't know, let alone give you a packing ticket. ”

"Lao Li, listen to my advice. Either way, those of us who are alive will continue to live and fight. Now that Xiaoshan is gone, whether as comrades-in-arms or relatives, we should indeed miss her forever. We must not forget that we once had such a comrade-in-arms. ”

"Didn't Lenin, the teacher of the revolution, say that forgetting the past is tantamount to betrayal? But this relationship and thoughts should be more in my heart. You are the military commander of a unit, and hundreds or even in the near future, there may be thousands of comrades' lives, all in your hands. ”

"Your words and deeds affect the morale of your subordinates, and every decision you make is a matter of life and death for hundreds of people. In the near future, more difficult and brutal battles await you. Lao Li, I hope you can cheer up. All people come through suffering, and no one can live smoothly all their lives. ”

Ma Yongcheng's persuasion, Li Ziyuan was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Thank you, old Ma." I know what to do, don't worry, I'm still the same Li Ziyuan, and I won't be silent. Although these medicines of yours are a little bitter, they are very good and very symptomatic. ”

Li Ziyuan patted Ma Yongcheng's hand, and after being silent for a while, he continued: "Old Ma, there are some things I don't want to say more. Although this battle has cost me the loss of a loved one and the death and injury of so many brothers. But today I still want to tell you that I don't regret this fight. ”

After saying this, Li Ziyuan looked at Ma Yongcheng and smiled. Although Ma Yongcheng saw that Li Ziyuan's smile was a miserable smile with a cheeky smile on his face. The smile was full of sadness and pain, but in the face of Li Ziyuan's miserable laughter, Ma Yongcheng was somewhat relieved.

Thinking of this, Ma Yongcheng suddenly remembered the reason why he was looking for Li Ziyuan, and hurriedly dragged him up and said, "Come with me, the deputy commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff are looking for you." I patronized and talked to you just now, and I forgot about this stubble. The chief should be in a hurry, let's hurry up. ”

Hearing that the chief was looking for him, knowing that the chief was in such a hurry to shout himself, there must be something wrong, Li Ziyuan hurriedly stood up, walked to the edge of a small river in the village, wiped his face, and dragged a few grains of grass down on his body, followed Ma Yongcheng's ass and rushed to the general headquarters.

When he arrived at the general headquarters and saw the two leaders waiting for him, Li Ziyuan hurriedly stood up and saluted, and was taken to a table by the deputy chief of staff. On the table were the maps and some documents carried by the special advance team of the Japanese army that he had fought in the previous battle and the most important ones, and most importantly, some documents.

The deputy chief of staff pointed to the trophies on the table and asked him to look at them carefully before he spoke: "Until now in this anti-sweeping operation, you have fought with three Japanese spy forces. The deputy commander-in-chief and I brought you here to ask you what you think of these three Japanese spy forces. ”

"The most important thing is that according to your judgment, whether the Japanese army will still have similar armaments and continue to operate in our base area. You have fought with all three secret forces of the Japanese army, and it can be said that all three special forces have been lost in your hands. In this regard, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief and I believe that you are the most vocal. ”

In response to the question of the deputy chief of staff, Li Ziyuan pondered for a while before he spoke: "Chief, judging from the composition of these three Japanese spy forces, it should be the hard work of the Japanese army. First of all, they are familiar with the rules of our activities, as well as some of our internal situations. And according to our actual situation, the corresponding camouflage was made. ”

"The first two so-called Mashiko Shigeo Advance Team and Okawa Momoyoshi Advance Team, at least a considerable part of the people can speak Chinese. At the same time, all the team members are veterans with strong combat effectiveness. In terms of armament and armament, certain adjustments have also been made specifically to our characteristics. At the same time, they have received special and rigorous training, and have a considerable grasp of our situation. ”

"In the end, I encountered this advance team, which was stronger in equipment and combat effectiveness than the previous two advance teams. Moreover, in terms of its battlefield performance, this advance team can speak Chinese, from ordinary soldiers to all officers and non-commissioned officers. Compared to the first two advancing teams, the simulation is more similar to ours. ”

"Even when we played against them, there weren't many opportunities for either side to speak. But in this Japanese army, there are obviously no traitors in the other two advance teams who are equipped to act as interpreters. That is to say, there is not a single Chinese in this advance team, all of them are pure Japanese. ”

"This shows a problem, either this Japanese advance team is all people who are proficient in Chinese. Either this Japanese advance team is more special in terms of identity and nature. The Japanese would rather give up something than be involved in this contingent of traitors who are not reliable to them. ”

"If I were to comment, these three advance teams are all very combat-ready teams. The reason why I was able to solve these three advance teams was actually a big part of luck. As far as the advance team that fought with us in the end is concerned, there are only more than 100 people, but at least in terms of combat effectiveness, it is not inferior to a formed battalion of our army. ”

"In this battle, one of my battalions faced more than 100 Japanese troops, and there was almost no defense. If it weren't for the fact that this Japanese army was too arrogant and didn't want to waste time on us. They didn't fight back, they didn't even think about paying us or wasting time, they just wanted us to retreat. ”

"If it weren't for Liu Lianming and He Huizhang, when the Japanese army was trying their best to deal with the front, they touched their backs and launched a surprise attack, disrupting their positions in a short period of time, and buying us a little time to launch the final charge. I'm afraid it's hard to say who will die in this battle. ”

"At least judging from our situation at the time, the battalion I was carrying at that time was not an opponent at all, and was almost suppressed by the Japanese army. All the problems add up, and the threat and destruction caused by the operation of several teams in our hinterland is undoubtedly quite enormous. ”

"Of course, if you look closely at their disguise, there are still quite a lot of flaws. From the military uniform on the body to the weapon in the hand, if you are careful, you can judge it. Moreover, when they face our main forces, as long as we concentrate our forces and firepower, they are no opponents. ”

"The real role of these Japanese advance teams is not to fight our troops face-to-face. If I am not misjudged, their main role is to use their camouflage to reconnoiter our important targets and provide accurate intelligence for the rapid closing of large Japanese forces. ”

"And I think that these advance teams also have an important task, which is to destroy the commanding organs of our army at all levels. To put it simply, they used the heavy troops they mobilized to fish in troubled waters in the process of encircling our army. Carried out a sneak attack on the high command of our army and took advantage of the chaos to assassinate our senior commander. ”

"The two leaders are both military leaders, and I don't want to say that you two know some truths. If it is said that the headquarters organs are the brains of our army, the defeat of the headquarters organs will cause irreparable losses to our army for at least a considerable period of time. Therefore, I believe that an important task of these advance teams is to carry out decapitation operations against our troops. ”
