In this year, the U.S. military launched a full-scale counteroffensive against the Japanese army in the Pacific theater, gradually approaching the Japanese mainland, and the Japanese army was already in decline. On the Chinese battlefield, due to the shortage of troops, the Japanese army began to shrink its defense, took the initiative to cede some occupied areas, and retreated into large cities and county towns.

In order to respond to the counterattack launched by the US military in the Pacific, the troops of the Nationalist Army on the Chinese battlefield also began a counteroffensive on the local front. With the cooperation of the Eighth Route Army, the counteroffensive troops of the Nationalist Army successively attacked cities and regained more than a dozen county towns in more than two months. On this day, Li Yongan and his division fought in front of Anping Town, because of the important geographical location of Anping Town, the Japanese army defended the town to the death, and constantly sent reinforcements in a vain attempt to hold the town. After seven or eight days of fierce fighting, the Japanese army finally could not hold out and withdrew from the town, and the national army won the victory with difficulty!

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, where Tan Suyun worked, also cooperated with the attack on the town, mobilized the underground party organizations in the town, probed the military intelligence of the Japanese army, and reported it to the national army headquarters. The Tan Suyun sisters are very concerned about attacking the town, because their home is in the town, and the two sisters are full of worries about their father, afraid that the old man will be affected by the war and have some accidents! Tan Suqin also came to the front line deliberately for this reason, staying in Li Yongan's battalion headquarters, and learning about the progress of the battle every day. Li Yongan was also very concerned about Old Man Tan, and when the city was broken, he was the first to rush into the city with his brothers and went straight to Old Man Tan's house. Fortunately, the housekeeper Lao Zhao took care of Old Man Tan very carefully, and brought the old man into the cellar as soon as the battle began. The Tan family is a large family, and the cellar is already very spacious, and it has been reinforced specially to prevent bombing. It's like a military air-raid shelter, it's very safe, and the old man didn't do anything in the cellar peacefully, but he was not in good health when he was older, and he suffered a lot of sins!

After Li Yongan searched back and forth in the courtyard, he found the old man, the housekeeper and several subordinates in the cellar. Li Yongan even kowtowed to the old man to say goodbye, and the old man Tan stared at the officer's uniform. Li Yongan, who looked like a dog, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you Xiao Anzi?" ”

Li Yongan raised his head and replied, "It's me, master!" ”

The old man hurriedly helped him up from the ground with a trembling tremble, and said, "Hurry up." Get up and speak! ”

Li Yongan stood up and helped the old man into the house with the housekeeper Lao Zhao. After coming to the house and sitting down, Old Man Tan asked Li Yongan, "This little devil has been beaten away by you?" ”

Li Yongan said: "Yes! We've all beaten them away! In the future, the people in the town will no longer have to be oppressed by the little devils! ”

The old man listened and kept chanting: "Good, good! After a while, he asked Li Yongan curiously: "You kid have become an official?" Okay, you! ”

Li Yongan smiled and said, "It's just a battalion commander." Sesame mung beans are a little bigger. Nothing remarkable! ”

The old man shook his head and said, "As long as you dare to fight devils, even if you are a small soldier, it will be good!" ”

Li Yongan hurriedly echoed and said: "Yes, yes, we Chinese soldiers who specialize in fighting little devils are all good!" ”

Old Man Tan asked again: "Do you know the news of Su Yun and Su Qin?" How are they, are they okay? ”

Li Yongan said: "The eldest lady and the second lady are very good, I can often see them, and they have also come to attack the town this time." I'm sure I'll be able to see you in a moment! ”

While talking, the sisters Tan Suyun and Tan Suqin entered the courtyard one after the other. As he walked inside, he shouted, "Daddy, Daddy! As soon as the two men heard the news that the town had been captured, they rushed to the scene. The father and daughter were very happy to get together, crying and laughing!

Old Man Tan said to his two daughters: "When the little devil occupied the town, my father didn't dare to keep you!" This time the little devil was beaten away by you, you must stay and accompany your father more, your father is old, and there are few days to live! ”

The sisters hurriedly said, "Dad, look at what you are talking about!" Tan Suyun said: "We must stay with you more this time!" ”

After capturing Anping Town, the troops of the national army stopped to rest on all fronts, and the plan for the counteroffensive came to an end temporarily, just so that the sisters had time to stay and spend more time with the old man. Li Yongan was stationed in the town with his regiment, and he happened to be free, so he often ran to Tan's house when he had nothing to do, chatting with the old man and the sisters.

Since the last time the Japanese wanted to ask the old man to be the president of the maintenance association was stirred up by Li Yongan, the Japanese have not given up on this matter, and after a period of time, they sent people to harass the old man constantly, and the old man had to call himself sick and said that he was old, weak and weak, and he never agreed to the Japanese!

At first, it was just an excuse, but it didn't take long for him to really get sick, on the one hand, he didn't care about the little devil's domineering behavior in the town, and on the other hand, he was indeed old, and he had been weak and sick since the fight! When the Japanese saw that he was really sick and struggling to survive, they finally stopped forcing him. Fortunately, not many people know about the two sisters, one is the Eighth Route Army and the other is the National Army, and it was not leaked out, otherwise there are two anti-Japanese elements in the family, and the Japanese will not let him survive until now in peace!

Old Man Tan's physical condition is getting worse and worse, and he thinks that he can see his two daughters get married and have a lifelong trust in his lifetime, so that he can rest assured! Taking advantage of this reunion with his two daughters, he told his two daughters his thoughts, and asked people to gather around to see if there was a suitable person. The Tan family is very well-connected, and as soon as the news came out, there was an endless stream of people who came to go on a blind date from all directions, and the door of the Tan family was about to be squeezed through! The sisters naturally had no interest in this matter, but they couldn't bear to worry the old man of life, so they had to let him, but they always said that there was no one they liked! Li Yongan came to Tan's house to catch up, and Old Man Tan also pulled him to the staff officer! Li Yongan was very depressed at the beginning, and he was really afraid that the sisters would not be able to stand the persecution of Old Man Tan, so they really found someone to marry! But after participating in the meeting a few times, he found that the two sisters' positions were very firm, no matter how prominent the family background of the person who came to the blind date was, and how handsome and chic the person was, none of them agreed, and the attitude was cold and indifferent! Li Yongan couldn't help but slowly put his mind at ease, and later even began to joke with the sisters, in front of the old man, praising this is good, that is very good, and persuading the two sisters to agree! I hate the two sisters of the Tan family! (To be continued......)
