This time they are much smaller in number, their targets are smaller, and they are more flexible and stealthy to move. After more than ten days of careful stealth, they finally returned to the front line of the battle between the enemy and us, and at this time the Japanese position had advanced a lot, and it was already far, far away from the position they had held at the beginning. However, the Japanese army had limited forces and could not continue to expand the occupied area, and it had reached the end of its strength. Although the Japanese attack on the front continued, it was no longer so fierce, and the two sides attacked and defended each other, showing a see-saw-like stalemate.

It was impossible to directly cross through the front position of the Japanese army, so Tan Suyun and the others had to make a detour from the rear until they reached the edge of the entire battle line before finding a gap and sneaking back to their side. Everyone was relieved and happy to finally return to their own territory, but Tan Suyun, Zhang Laosan, and Kang Dali were depressed, especially Tan Suyun, she didn't know how to face her sister and how to explain to her about Li Yongan's sacrifice.

Zhou Zhanxiong inquired about the location of the battalion headquarters all the way, and finally found his troops. The relationship between the battalion commander and Zhou Zhanxiong is very good, he is very happy to see him come back alive, Zhou Zhanxiong reported to him the completion of the task, the battalion commander patted him on the shoulder and said: "This time you kid has made a great contribution!" Zhou Zhanxiong hurriedly said modestly: "This time there is also the credit of the Eighth Route Army, if it were not for them, our own people would not have been able to complete the task!" The battalion commander didn't think so, he belonged to the faction of the Kuomintang that tended to be the first, and he didn't have a good impression of the Eighth Route Army led by **, and finally when he reported the merits of Zhou Zhanxiong and others to his superiors, he didn't say a word about the Eighth Route Army. Zhou Zhanxiong also reported to the battalion commander about the heroic sacrifice of Li Yongan and others, and the battalion commander praised him verbally, but he didn't take it to heart. He's seen so much over the years that he's become numb.

Zhou Zhanxiong helped Tan Suyun find out the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army, which was not far from the vicinity, and was also dealing with the Japanese army and supporting the war. After Tan Suyun got the news, she rushed back to her unit with the surviving soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and when she left, she told Zhou Zhanxiong not to tell Tan Suqin about Li Yongan's sacrifice, and she would find time to tell her in person, and Zhou Zhanxiong agreed. Although he is not familiar with Tan Suqin, as Li Yongan's company commander, he has the obligation to inform his relatives of the news of Li Yongan's death.

A few days later, Tan Suyun came to the station of ** again and found her sister Tan Suqin, although after a few days of mental preparation, she still had a feeling of discouragement and weakness when she faced Tan Suqin, and felt that it was difficult to face.

Tan Suqin hasn't seen her sister for a long time, and she is very happy to see each other, Tan Suyun has been sad about Li Yongan's departure these days, and hesitating how to tell Tan Suqin about it, she feels tormented in her heart, as if she has a serious illness, her complexion is very bad, Tan Suqin couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw it, and asked her with concern: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Sick? ”

Tan Suyun smiled reluctantly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I've been busy lately and I'm just a little sleepless!" Tan Suqin reminded her that she must pay attention to her body, and then pulled her to sit down and chat, asking long and short questions. Tan Suyun listened in a trance, occasionally answering a sentence or two. Tan Suqin chatted and suddenly talked about Li Yongan, and said: "This time the devil launched a large-scale attack, I was very worried about you, and now I am finally relieved to see that you are safe and sound!" But Xiao Anzi also went to the front line, and then after the position was lost, they lost contact with the large army, I was in a hurry, every day I went to their troops to inquire about the news, and later heard that they used the captured radio to get in touch with the troops, Xiao Anzi is still fine, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then I heard that the troops gave them an important task, they went to carry it out, and since then there has been no news, and I don't know what is going on now, it is really worrying! Tan Suqin frowned, looking worried.

Tan Suyun looked at her carefully, and saw that her complexion was also a little haggard, it seemed that it was caused by worrying about Li Yongan these days, Tan Suyun thought to herself, instead of letting her worry about it like this, it was better to tell her the truth earlier, and the long pain was better than the short pain, so he said: "Xiao Anzi he, he"

Tan Suqin couldn't help but ask strangely when she saw her slurping, "What's wrong with him?" There was a faint sense of foreboding in my heart.

Tan Suyun couldn't help crying and choked up: "Sister, I'm sorry for you!" Sister, I'm sorry for you! I met Xiao Anzi in the rear of the enemy, and we have been together, and then ** and our superiors of the Eighth Route Army respectively issued an order to us to blow up the enemy's rear airfield, Xiao Anzi originally didn't want to go, and was finally forced by me to go, he served as the main attack in the mission, and successfully blew up the enemy's fuel depot, but none of their group of people could escape alive in the end, Xiao Anzi he, he sacrificed! ”

Tan Suqin's eyes couldn't help but go dark after hearing this, her body shook, and Tan Suyun hurriedly helped her. Tan Suqin looked at her sister blankly, and suddenly cried out with a "wow", shaking her sister's arm while crying and saying, "You return Xiao Anzi to me, you give me back Xiao Anzi!" ”

Tan Suyun couldn't help crying bitterly, and could only apologize helplessly: "I'm sorry, my sister is sorry for you!" Tan Suqin hugged her sister and cried, and the two sisters hugged each other and cried into tears.

Crying until the tears dried up and couldn't flow out anymore, Tan Suqin sat there with empty eyes, as if her soul had been out of her body. When it was time for lunch, although Tan Suyun didn't have much appetite, but for the sake of her sister, she forced herself to make some food and persuaded Tan Suqin to eat two bites, but Tan Suqin never reacted at all, which made Tan Suyun's heart feel like a knife, she tried her best to care for her sister from childhood to adulthood, but she didn't expect that in the end, it would be herself who hurt her the most! The two sisters rarely quarreled since childhood, only occasionally Tan Suyun would discipline her sister a few words, but that was also the tone of persuasion, Tan Suqin always made a grimace with her, and later Tan Suqin joined the Kuomintang, and Tan Suyun joined **, because of ideals, because of their careers, the two had a dispute for the first time, and there was a rift in their feelings, but this rift gradually healed with the increasingly severe shape of the Anti-Japanese War and the re-cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. For Tan Suqin, this is just a political disagreement between the two sisters, which is not enough to affect the sisterhood of the two people, but Tan Suyun knows that this time is different, her sister is a very emotional person, she can give up her ideals and life for love, Li Yongan is her love since she was a child, because of her own love, she will blame herself for the rest of her life, this rift can never be repaired!
