Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2502 Hero’s Tears!
Although Duanwu thanked Sixth Brother for the invitation, he declined, saying, "Laoyeh Ridge is indeed a good place. However, I have already opened up the situation in Phoenix City. In addition, we also have allies in the grasslands to the southwest."

At this point, Duanwu pointed to the map and said, "Sixth Brother, have you noticed that although your strategic depth is sufficient, the Japanese have actually cut off your retreat. I guess the Japanese are not free now, otherwise they will penetrate from both sides of you and then surround you with an iron wall, and then your situation will be bad."

The Sixth Brother nodded and said, "You're right. I've been keeping an eye on it. And if the Japanese want to come in, they should think twice."

Sixth Brother sneered slightly when he said this, and it was obvious that he was ready to die.

Moreover, given Brother Yiliu’s strength, if he stayed in Laoyeling without moving, I’m afraid the Japanese would not want to provoke him.

Of course, these are all things of the past. The most urgent task now is to retrieve the bodies of Qi Dabing and Li Jianguo.

So the two men left the wooden house and asked Xiao Wuzi to bring the horse.

Duanwu still rode his Arabian horse, while Sixth Brother rode a black horse.

This horse is very tall, at least a head taller than Duanwu's Ferghana horse.

With its strong limbs, when it neighs, even the Ferghana horse that Duanwu is riding has to lower its head slightly to show its submission.

Duanwu asked in surprise: "Sixth brother, what kind of horse is this?"

The sixth brother smiled and said, "I don't know. I heard it came from the West. A few years ago, a friend gave it to me."

Duanwu nodded and mounted his horse. At this time, he asked, "Do you have anyone in Chuncheng?"

The sixth brother nodded and said, "Yes, both inside and outside the city."

Duanwu fell into a moment of thought, then put down the reins and asked, "Sixth Brother, it seems a little inappropriate for us to go like this."

The sixth brother also dismounted and asked, "What's up, brother?"

Duanwu said, "It's at least 500 kilometers from Laoyeling to Chuncheng. There are countless enemy checkpoints along the way. How can we ride our horses through it unimpeded?"

The sixth brother thought about it and felt that it was right, so he asked, "Brother, what do you think?"

Duanwu thought for a moment and said, "Sixth brother, do you have the devil's clothes? It would be even better if you can have their ID."

The Sixth Brother thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I saw it among the soldier's belongings."

Thinking of this, Brother Six couldn't help but smile again, because the soldier was also willing to pretend to be a devil and sneak into the enemy's camp to cause trouble. But his Japanese was really speechless, he would just yell baga baga, or slap the other person's big face.

Sometimes, he really fooled me. But more often, I was exposed and started to fight.

At this moment, Ye Xuwen in front of him had the same idea as his brother.

He believes in God's will and reincarnation.

Although the other person's age doesn't match, the similarities are increasing.

The sixth brother led the way and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the former Anti-Japanese Brigade's base. I have kept it exactly as it was."

Duanwu nodded and followed Liu Ge on foot.

Before leaving, Duanwu said to Xiao Wuzi, "Brother Wuzi, go and release my brother. Have him send a telegram to the guerrilla base and tell them that I can't go back for the time being and have to do something. If the devils come, retreat now and avoid their sharp edge. Wait for me to come back."

"Okay, Ye, Brother Ye!"

Xiao Wuzi is actually older than Duanwu, but he has always called Qi Dabing "Brother Qi", so at this time, the name was finally changed to "Brother Ye". Duanwu was embarrassed for a moment, but he didn't say anything, but smiled and nodded.

At this time, the Sixth Brother turned around and said, "Those two brothers have worked hard these past two days. Give them something good and don't neglect them."

"Yes, Brother Six!"

Xiao Wuzi followed the order and left. At this time, Duanwu followed his sixth brother into the forest again and walked along the mountain road.

After walking for more than an hour, we saw a village in the distance.

Brother Six introduced: "That place used to be Lijiatun, and my family lived there. Later, the Japanese invaders launched a large-scale raid, and the independent regiment was forced to retreat, and the people of Lijiatun also moved with them.

After the militia evacuated the villagers, they encountered a small group of Japanese troops. Qi Dabing of the militia, for some unknown reason, led the Japanese troops into the encirclement of the independent regiment despite being injured, and the independent regiment successfully crushed the Japanese counter-encirclement.

It was also at that time that Dabing was promoted by my brother to become the captain of the militia.

That guy was busy, and within two years, he turned a militia into an anti-Japanese brigade directly under the army."

Speaking of this, Sixth Brother seemed to have returned to the past, when he fought the Japanese with the soldiers and his brother.

Duanwu even felt a little heartbroken when he saw his sixth brother like this.

From this moment on, he decided that he was Qi Dabing. Even if it was just to satisfy his sixth brother's wish, he wanted to be a Qi Dabing.

Soon, the two men arrived at Lijiatun. On the empty street, a one-armed middle-aged man was sweeping the floor with a broom in one hand.

His movements were difficult, but he still swept the deserted streets meticulously.

The Sixth Brother slowly said, "His name is Shuanzi, the only survivor of the Anti-Japanese Brigade. The battle situation was already very unfavorable at that time. The five of them were sent back by the soldiers to report the news, fearing that after all the Anti-Japanese Brigade members were killed, the Japanese would retaliate against the villagers of Laoyeling.

It’s a pity that he was the only one among the five of them who came back, and he lost an arm.

After he woke up, he told us about the battle of Heiyunling. He was crying the whole time. Then he lost his voice and never spoke again. He stayed alone in the garrison, standing guard, cooking, patrolling, and blowing the wake-up call.

Duanwu didn't say anything for a long time because he could empathize with Shuanzi and felt how he felt after all his comrades were killed in the battle.

When Shuanzi saw Liuge and Duanwu, he used the remaining half of his left arm to hold the broom, put his right hand above his right ear, and saluted Liuge and Duanwu.

Judging from the way he saluted, he respected Sixth Brother very much.

At this time, Duanwu also saluted the bolt in front of him.

But at this moment, unexpectedly, the bolt shed silent tears.

Duanwu didn't know why this happened and looked at his sixth brother.

The Sixth Brother thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps he hasn't seen his comrades for a long time. He, he must be moved."

Duanwu nodded, then shouted to Shuanzi: "Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, Chunjiang Anti-Japanese Brigade, Captain Ye Xiuwen, is here to visit you on behalf of the organization!"

As he said this, Duanwu saluted Shuanzi again.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, Shuanzi stopped sobbing and burst into tears.

Shuanzi burst into tears, crying like a child!
