Chapter 691: Fanla's Request, Crossing the River
Meng Fan has changed. In the past, he was always angry with everyone, but his favorite person to be angry with was their team leader Long Wenjian.

The nickname "Si La Si La" was given by him to Long Wen Zhang.

In addition to these, Meng Fanle also likes to tease the new recruits and scare them, often leaving them stunned.

But in the past few days, Meng Fanle suddenly changed. He no longer kept complaining and scolding the veterinarian as an old fool, and no longer fooled the new recruits who were just tricked by Long Wenjian into joining the army with the promise of full meals.

Instead, he would disappear from time to time, run to a deserted place, and stare blankly at the Nujiang River, the opposite bank, and the letter from home.

The first person to notice the changes in Meng Fan was the veterinarian.

There are only a few wounded soldiers left in the temporary "field hospital" in Zenda City. Those with minor injuries have returned to the battlefield, and a few seriously injured are still recuperating. As for those who have broken their limbs and can no longer fight on the battlefield, those who want to return to their hometowns have been given severance pay, while those who do not want to go home have been settled nearby by Wang Zhong and Milong.

There are only a few seriously injured soldiers still being recuperated in the temporary field hospital, and they are being taken care of by Xiaozui and the hired nurses. The veterinarian naturally does not need to stay there all the time, he just needs to check on them regularly.

Moreover, the veterinarian, a half-baked military doctor, might not be much better than Xiaozui, who was personally trained by Wang Chong.

"What's wrong with Fanle lately? He seems to be acting weird, as if he has something on his mind." The veterinarian watched Meng Fanle leave the position alone and go into the woods without looking back, so he curiously asked Milong beside him.

"How should I know? I'm not his father." Milong's words seemed to be a joke, but the veterinarian's heart skipped a beat: "His father? Could it be because of the letter?"

Thinking of the letter from home, the veterinarian felt that he must have guessed right. This kid must be missing home and his parents, just like himself. He also wanted to go back to Xi'an and missed his son who was fighting the Japanese in other war zones.

At this point, the veterinarian understood. "Maybe he saw the letter and missed his parents. This kid is smart, but too smart. He's also worried. He'll be fine in a few days."

I don’t know whether the veterinarian said this to himself or to Milong, the narrator.

"Missing his parents? I think he's missing a woman."

"We've been here for so long, and I don't think we've ever seen him touch a woman."

As for men, as long as they have a little money in their pockets, they would either think about filling their stomachs or satisfying their alcohol addiction. Otherwise, they would go to the city to find a few girls to be their groom a few times, and then they would stop making trouble after spending all the money in their pockets.

Milong is a man himself, so it is natural for him to think so.

That day, Milong took a day off on the pretext of taking care of business matters.

After Wang Zhong finished a day's training, he left the Jiqipo position and came to Zenda City, preparing to bring some gifts back to Xiaozui. When he arrived in front of Milong's wife's grocery store, he saw Milong sitting outside the grocery store, holding his hands and playing horse riding with his penis against his neck.

Mi Long, who was originally smiling, slowly stopped smiling when he saw Wang Zhong standing across the street, staring at the father and son. He then took Lei Bao'er off his neck and put her on the ground: "Go find your mother!"

Milong raised his hand to rub his nose, turned his head to look at the side, and explained: "Well, I've finished my business, and I thought since I'm here anyway, I might as well visit my wife and kids."

Wang Zhong walked up to Milong and just looked at him without saying anything.

Mi Long felt uncomfortable being looked at by Wang Zhong. He looked around and said, "Why are you here? If you have anything to ask, why don't you ask me to help you with it?"

Wang Zhong was still looking at him, still not saying anything.

Milong felt uncomfortable being stared at, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he just threw in the towel: "Okay, I admit it, I lied, I just missed my wife and children, and I found an excuse to come out and see them."

"It would have been better if it had been like this!"

"What lies?"

Wang Zhong finally spoke: "You should know that once you tell a lie, you often need to use countless lies to cover it up."

"You are a smart person, much smarter than Meng Fanle. There are some things that you don't need to do."

Mi Long stared blankly at Wang Zhong, who patted his shoulder, walked past him, and went straight into the grocery store. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Wang Zhong gave the things he bought to Shangguan Jieci, asking her and Milong and his wife to help take them back when the store closed, and then he went straight to the temporary "field hospital".

In the hospital, Xiaozui was still wearing a white coat and a nurse's cap.

Wang Zhong also put on a white coat and examined the few remaining seriously injured soldiers who had not yet recovered to prevent festering and ulceration. At the same time, he explained the principles and corresponding treatment methods to Xiaozui.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is profound and extensive. It is difficult to achieve great success without decades of study and rich medical experience.

On the contrary, Western medicine is easy to learn and quick to master. Now Xiaozui has become a nurse who can stand on her own.

After finishing the review, Wang Zhong took off his white coat, washed his hands with warm soap and water, changed his clothes, and left the "field hospital" and headed home with Xiaozui, who had also changed into casual clothes.

"In a little while, I will lead the commando team to the other side to carry out a mission. If there is anything at home, go find a veterinarian. If it really cannot be solved, go find Long Wenjian."

"Brother, why are you going to the other side for no reason?" Xiaozui nodded and asked curiously.

Wang Zhong said: "The Japanese invaders are determined to destroy us. Although the situation has entered a stalemate, one day we will cross the Nujiang River, take back the Nantianmen, and drive the Japanese out of our country completely."

“So we must know ourselves and know our enemies.”

Wang Zhong's assault team has been training for a month. Although the training method is not as good as those of special forces in later generations, it is already quite good for ordinary soldiers.

"Then you must be careful. If you encounter too many Japanese devils, run if you can. Be sure to protect yourself." Xiaozui looked at Wang Zhong with concern. What she was most worried about was not whether she could drive away the Japanese devils, but Wang Zhong's safety.

After spending such a long time together, Xiaozui had already regarded Wang Zhong as his own brother.

"Don't worry, I will run away if the situation is not right. I will never act stubbornly."

"By the way, how have you been lately? And how far have you learned from your enlightenment?"

"I just finished learning the Thousand Character Classic. Now Baoer and I are learning the Three Character Classic with Sister Shangguan."

Wang Zhong said: "Don't just learn these, this kind of learning speed is too slow. I just bought a few novels and asked Milong and his wife to take them back. When the time comes, you can ask his wife to give them to you. Read them for a while every day. If you come across a word you don't know, ask Milong's wife."

"I know brother!"

The two of them returned to the courtyard talking and laughing all the way. Shangguan took the opportunity to come back early to prepare dinner. When the two of them arrived home, the rice was almost cooked and the vegetables had been cut, but not yet fried. Seeing the two of them coming back, Shangguan Jieci immediately started cooking.

Soon, the meal was ready. Milong took out a bottle of white wine from his small treasury, opened it and started drinking with Wang Zhong. "By the way, I heard from Shengli today that Fanla was not feeling well. It seemed to be because of a letter from home."

"A letter from home?" Wang Zhong's heart moved. Could it be that Father Meng and Mother Meng had already reached the west bank?

"Do you know what's written on it?" Wang Zhong asked.

"How would I know? I won't even see the annoying letters from home." Milong said as a matter of course.

Cao Lin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

In the evening, when Wang Zhong returned to Jiqipo, it was almost dark.

As soon as I returned to my temporary camp, Meng Fanle came to me.

“Is there something?” Seeing him hesitate to speak, Wang Zhong simply spoke first.

Meng Fan nodded and said, "Can you take me to the West Coast?"

"Have your parents arrived on the west bank?" As soon as Wang Zhong asked this, Meng Fanle showed a look of shock.

"Forget it. If you don't want to talk about it, just pretend I didn't ask." Wang Zhong had just said this when Meng Fanle spoke up, "Yes, they arrived in Xi'an and are now staying in Heshun Town."

"Heshun?" Wang Zhong asked, "That place is now a Japanese war zone. What do your parents think? Why don't you stay in the country and go to the Japanese war zone?"

Meng was annoyed and said, "I don't know either. They didn't say anything in the letter. They just said they were in Heshun and hoped I could go over to meet them."

"That's the Japanese war zone. I have no way of getting through it by myself, but you are different." Meng Fanle looked at Wang Zhong with a burning gaze and said, "When we were on the other side, it was thanks to you that we were able to survive so smoothly."

"I've been thinking about it for several days, and the only one I can think of is you." Meng Fanle pleaded.

Wang Zhong said, "In a few days, our commando team will cross the river to carry out an exploration mission on the other side. By then, Si La Si La will probably go with us. You are his messenger, so how can you be left behind?"

"Going to the other side?" Meng Fanle's eyes immediately lit up.

"when to go?"

"The specific time has not been decided yet, but it should be about three days. I can take care of other things, but we must prepare our clothes and dry food in advance."

"Please pack up and don't drag us down when the time comes."

"I'll go back and clean up now."

······
Three days later, at 11:30 in the evening, the members of the commando team gathered in the dense forest by the river. They were all wearing camouflage uniforms specially customized by Cao Lin, with flowers and plants tied around their bodies for concealment. They carried backpacks and guns and bullets. They were fully armed and ready to give their lives.

"It's hard to walk on the road at night. We tied ropes around our waists, divided into two teams, and supported each other to cross the river at the same time."

"Now listen to my orders and take off your pants!"

At Cao Lin's command, everyone took off their pants but put on shoes and socks.

The road under the water is not easy to walk on if you don’t have shoes and you are not familiar with the road. It is also late at night, so you must wear shoes.

After everyone had packed up, Cao Lin took the lead in tying one end of the rope for crossing the river around his waist, then took advantage of the cover of night to get out of the dense forest and step into the icy river.

The members of the commando team behind him grabbed the rope behind Cao Lin, followed Cao Lin closely, and stepped into the river.

The fast-flowing river, the sound of the water and the darkness were their best cover. Even if there was some noise, it would not alarm the Japanese on the Nantianmen Gate, unless the Japanese knew this road and added a searchlight next to it.

Unfortunately, the Japanese didn’t know that there was such a small road that could travel back and forth between the east and west banks.

In less than ten minutes, Wang Zhong was the first to go ashore.

Thirty members of the commando team, plus Long Wenjian and Meng Fanle, a total of thirty-two people also went ashore.

In order to ensure that they would not be discovered by the Japanese army, Wang Zhong and others did not pull up the cable as they did last time, but directly risked crossing the river.

"quick!"

They didn't even wear pants. At Wang Zhong's command, everyone untied the ropes, then hurriedly took the ropes and quickly left the river bank and went into the woods beside it. They put on their pants, squeezed out the water from their shoes and socks, walked in for a long time, found a slope facing the South Gate of Heaven, and started to repair on the spot.

The next morning, early in the morning, as soon as it was light, everyone set off. Cao Lin had been here several times before and was very familiar with the place. He led everyone through the mountains and forests, carefully avoiding places where the Japanese army might be.

"Why did they stop?" Long Wenjian, who was blocked from the road at the back, saw the team in front stop and immediately stepped forward to ask the reason.

Bula beside Wang Zhong pointed to an open space beside the forest. There were obvious signs of plowing and seedlings planted in the middle.

After a while, they found some ragged farmers squatting in the woods. The seedlings in the woods were planted by them. Seeing their skinny appearance, Wang Zhong ordered the team to leave one-third of the rations for them, and then led his men to Heshun according to the farmers' instructions.

Heshun, like Zenda, is a small town located on the border. Unfortunately, unlike Zenda, Heshun does not have the natural barrier of Nujiang River to block the Japanese invaders on the west bank. Therefore, not long after the Japanese army captured Nantianmen, the entire Heshun was also occupied by the Japanese army. Most of the people in the town believed that things would remain the same as before.

Looking at the somewhat quiet Heshun town in front of them, several people began to make a plan to enter.

Because the town became a Japanese-occupied area very early on, the situation in the town was gradually seen by several people.

Many people in Heshun Town also fled upon hearing the news before the Japanese invaders arrived. Shangguan Jieci, his father-in-law, and Lei Baoer were among those who went to Zenda from Heshun.

But a large number of them still chose to stay, because they have long been accustomed to such a life. As the saying goes, it is hard to leave one's hometown. Some elderly people would rather die in Heshun than leave.

"Be alert. This is a Japanese war zone. There may be Japanese patrols at any time. Do not shoot unless it is absolutely necessary."

Once they opened fire, their position would be exposed, although the Japanese might not know that they were coming from the east coast.

The three assault teams were divided into three small teams, and the three small teams were each divided into three small teams.

From three directions, they moved towards Heshun.
