Deep in Taihang, nameless valley

The news that the Japanese had been defeated had spread to the valley, and the militiamen and villagers in Lijia Village did not cheer as expected;

They firmly believe that it will be a matter of time before the Japanese are driven away, and life must go on!

"Folks, we have won, let's go home!"

Li Chennan calmly told the villagers in Lijiacun that Lijiacun had paid too much for this anti-sweep operation...

"Damn it, go home!"

"Dad, Mom, let's go home!"

"go home!"

…

"Son, daddy will take you home! Second boy, come here to help and take your brother home!"

Uncle Li Jiu whispered to his son Li Quanyou, but unfortunately he could no longer hear him, but it was not important. What was important was that he wanted to take his eldest son home.

"Master, let's go home!"

Li Chennan silently came over to help Si Gen's sister-in-law and carried Li Si Gen home. Si Gen just lay there quietly, wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket that Si Gen's sister-in-law had sewn for him.

"Li San, let's go home and pick up our Zhuang Ding!"

Li Yaozu said to Li San with determination...

The militia company and the armed workers team joined in to help some of the things that the family members could not lift, and they were unwilling to use his hands even if they had others;

Take it home with your own family!

The young and old men in Lijia Village embarked on their way home. Although the road is long, home is ahead of the road!

They are looking forward to returning to their home more than ever, where they live and settle down. If the devil wants to destroy their home, then they will destroy the devil;

Not a single one left!

…

In the high mountains around Liu Town, groups of villagers embarked on their way home, Gaojia Village, Zhaojiazhuang, Xiaowang Village, Hejia Village...

During this raid, more or less their relatives fell in the battle against the Japanese, but they had no regrets. When a group of brutal bandits broke into their homes, the only thing they could do was to pick up weapons and drive them away.

Robbers, kill robbers, only in this way can they live with dignity;

"I would rather die in war than be a slave to the country's subjugation!"

"Dad, let's go home!"

…

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, it is a good time to go out. The young and old men in Lijiacun are holding a grand ceremony to see off the 96 family members who died in the anti-mopping up battle...

Chu Xiong and Li Guoping's soldiers from the Li family also came over. In this anti-mopping battle, the Lijiacun armed workers team and militia company sacrificed the most and wiped out the most enemies. They fought with the unyielding iron bones of the Chinese people;

They are all good. It is because of thousands of unyielding people like Lijiacun that China will not perish!

After obtaining the consent of all their families, the 96 martyrs were buried collectively on a piece of mountain land in the back mountain with the best feng shui, 13 people in a row, eight rows apart;

The seven people in the first row were foreigners from the armed workers’ team, and they were also buried in this hot land that they guarded with their lives;

The seven rows behind are all children of Lijiacun, 13 people in a row, just like the class they fought in during their lifetimes. They were born here, grew up here, and were buried here;

This is the land that raised them, and it is also the land that they protect with their lives. Without them, no monsters or monsters can even get close to Lijia Village!

At the request of all the family members, the funeral was held with military salute. They were all steel warriors of the Eighth Route Army. They had not worn the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army during their lifetimes. When they left, everyone put on brand new uniforms of the Eighth Route Army;

Sigen's sister-in-law put an Eighth Route Army uniform on Li Sigen's red cotton-padded jacket with her own hands. This was Li Sigen's wish during his lifetime;

Comrades in the militia company all dream of owning an Eighth Route Army uniform!

The farewell ceremony began. First, Li Yaozu, the patriarch of Lijia Village, read a long paragraph that even Chu Xiong could not understand, and then his relatives saw him off;

In the end, Chu Xiong, representing the Eighth Route Army, saw them off with the highest etiquette of a soldier. Chu Xiong did not say much, but just ordered Li Guoping to bring in the 17 children of Lijiacun from the independent battalion and arrange them in two rows. The military looked solemn!

"Salute! Sing "We are on the Taihang Mountains""

Including Chu Xiong, 18 people began to sing the famous battle song "We are on the Taihang Mountains":

"The red sun shines all over the east,

The God of Liberty is singing!

Look!

Thousands of mountains and valleys, copper walls and iron walls!

The beacon of resistance against Japan is burning in the Taihang Mountains!

Extremely arrogant!

Listen!

The mother sent her son to fight in Japan, and his wife sent him to the battlefield.

We are on the Taihang Mountains, we are on the Taihang Mountains;

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the soldiers and horses are strong!

Wherever the enemy attacks, we will destroy it!

…

"The ceremony is over!"

After sending away the martyrs of Lijiacun, Chu Xiong did not leave immediately. Now there are only 28 people in the military work team and militia company in Lijiacun, which cannot afford the defense of Lijiacun. But this time the casualties of the children of Lijiacun were too great...

He called Li Chennan and Chen Erxi together to discuss the reconstruction of the armed work team and militia company. He first said to Li Chennan:

"Chen Nan, your Lijia Village suffered too many casualties this time, and it may be difficult to add more personnel;

I plan to transfer three squads from the garrison company to you to reorganize the armed work team. If you, the militia company commander, have any ideas, please feel free to ask for them."

Li Chennan and Chen Erxi were worried about this matter. When they heard that the battalion commander had sent the main force of three classes over, they immediately became happy. This helped them solve a big problem.

Li Chennan thought for a while and said:

"Battal Commander, thank you to the battalion for solving the big difficulty for us. With the main force of these three squads, the protection of Lijia Village will be no problem. We are confident that the militia company can be rebuilt and take off. It's just that in this battle, our ammunition

They are all used up, especially the grenades. If you can, just support us with some ammunition!"

Li Chennan is not polite to Chu Xiong. Since you, Battalion Commander Chu, have said so, he will provide whatever the militia company lacks.

A lot was seized this time, but the most critical ammunition was not seized. Without ammunition, the firearms were fire sticks.

When Chu Xiong heard this, he realized that it was indeed a problem with ammunition. Not only Lijia Village, but other villages also had this problem to a greater or lesser extent. Fortunately, several trucks of ammunition were seized in the end. Chu Xiong would not be able to divide it even if he had to cut it into eight pieces.

With those trucks of ammunition, Chu Xiong felt confident. He said directly to Li Chennan:

"As for the ammunition, no problem, leave it to me! 300 cantaloupe grenades and 5,000 rounds of ammunition are given to your militia company, and the three squads that support you will bring them here!"

Li Chennan and Chen Erxi couldn't help but beam with joy after hearing this. With this batch of ammunition, the problem of rebuilding the Li family's soldier company was solved. They expressed their gratitude to Chu Xiong one after another.

"Chennan, Erxi, don't be too happy too early. I have requirements. You must bring out a team that is not inferior to the previous one!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Li Chennan and Chen Erxi said in unison.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and go, I want to go out with Li Guoping for a walk!"
Chapter completed!
