Wu Fei did not notice the details of the cloth hat on Xiaotong's head being replaced with a military cap, nor did he find that Xiaotong's hair was lost under the military cap. In fact, he was a person who cared about the details very much, but for some reason, he seemed to have lost his soul at this moment, only caring about Xiaole's safety. When he confirmed that he was not hurt and wanted to see Xiaotong again, her face had been covered by a white cloth, and the body was put on a stretcher by Liu Dalong and Xiong Jin and carried it into a room that was temporarily cleaned up.

This was before Wu Fei came back, Xiaole told them to do it. She wanted to clean her closest partner for the last time so that she could go to heaven cleanly. Chen Qiuling helped Xiaole, who was already kneeling on her legs, and carried her to the uncapped house. Wu Fei also wanted to follow her, but was stopped outside by Liu Dalong: "Company Commander, the squad leader said that she was going to see off the squad deputy in person, so you don't go in."

Wu Fei would not argue with Liu Dalong, although he also wanted to help send Xiaotong on his last journey, but since Xiaole had already made arrangements, he would no longer force it.

I don’t know where Xiong Jinkui found two big buckets of water. He carried the two steaming hot water into the house, and then quickly walked out and stood at the door like two door gods with Liu Dalong. If you want to tell me the difference between them and door gods, it may be that their eyes were red, as if they had cried, and as if they were holding back their tears.

"How did Xiaotong sacrifice?" Wu Fei stood between them and asked.

"I heard that it was bombed by a shell." Liu Dalong responded: "We don't know the specifics, maybe we should ask the platoon leader. He is the one who knows the truth about the matter best."

"Where is the platoon leader Liu?" Wu Fei asked again.

"He's here." Xiong Jinkui was speaking this time. He didn't point his hand, but instead whispered to the front of the left.

Following the direction he showed, Wu Fei saw that Liu Yunbiao, the third leader, was being supported by a soldier and was slowly moving towards this side. A thick circle of bandages was wrapped around one of his thighs, obviously injured. He hurriedly came over and asked with concern how he was injured.

When Liu Yunbiao saw Wu Fei, he was a little excited and could not even organize his words. Fortunately, he had time to relieve his emotions. From his intermittent statements, Wu Fei understood why Xiaotong sacrificed.

Although Liu Yunbiao kept saying that he killed Xiaotong, Wu Fei kept extorting him. There were not many old men left in Erma Mountain, and one less sacrifice was lost. After this battle, even fewer survived. Although Wu Fei was a little worried about Xiaotong's death, he couldn't let Liu Yunbiao pay her life. In fact, he also knew that for Liu Yunbiao, this bloody lesson was even more uncomfortable than letting him die. Since this was the case, there was no need to blame him anymore.

It was also known from Liu Yunbiao that Brother Shan and Nengzhu were both injured. The injuries were not serious, but they were not light. Both of them were sent back to Zhaojiazhuang for rest. The Fourth Company suffered heavy losses in this battle. There were not many complete people left in the first and second platoons. However, Yang Qianjin, the eighth squad leader of the third platoon and the ninth squad leader of the third platoon, and finally made great contributions. Together with Zhao Dachun, he wiped out a Japanese team and the puppet platoon who served as the Japanese defender. He seized three light machine guns, which was a harsh breath for the Fourth Company.

Under Wu Fei's guidance, Liu Yunbiao's mood improved a lot, and the two of them had a conversation for a while until Xiaole and Chen Qiuling came out.

At Xiaole's instructions, Liu Dalong and Xiong Jinkui entered the room and lifted Xiaotong out. This time, her face was no longer covered with white cloth, but Wu Fei seemed to have selectively blocked her long hair, and his eyes were just staring at her face.

Many past memories flashed in his mind like scenes, training together and cooking together, including when he first arrived at Erma Mountain, sleeping with himself on a big kang, huddling at the end of the kang, like a poor kitten. What he couldn't forget the most was that this guy's lazy ability often found various reasons to train in the pond, and asked for accuracy, so he would not make Uncle Guo angry.

While recalling, she suddenly heard Chen Qiuling's words: "Wu Fei, how did you get your clothes? They were torn several times, and the legs of your pants are the same. I think it would be better to use iron to make clothes for you." Her tone of this was not like a cadre of the Eighth Route Army, but like a young wife.

"Oh, it's okay. I'll sew it up after finishing the work of the Fourth Company. Now there's nothing I can do, I can only make the work." Wu Fei was in no mood to pay attention to the matter of clothes. His mind is now full of Xiaotong's death, the reconstruction of the Fourth Company and the funeral of the soldiers who died.

"How can this be done? You are a cadre now and represent the commander of the Eighth Route Army. You must pay attention to your personal image." Chen Qiuling said relentlessly: "You will definitely be very busy these days. Let's do this. I'll find you to change it in a military uniform, replace it, and I'll sew it for you."

Wu Fei didn't think too much, nor did he pay attention to the expressions of others, and responded: "Then thank you for Officer Chen."

Xiaole's face turned green, and the eyes of Wu Fei and Chen Qiuling were extremely complicated, but she covered up very well, pretending to go to see Xiaotong, avoiding Wu Fei and Chen Qiuling's conversation.

Xiao Wangzhuang could not be rebuilt at this moment. The Fourth Company suffered such great casualties, so it would be hard to continue to be placed in Xiao Wangzhuang without replenishing it. Who can guarantee that the Japanese would not make a comeback after being frustrated? According to the instructions of Captain Shi, after burying the fallen soldiers, the Fourth Company returned to Zhaojiazhuang.

The houses where the Fourth Company originally lived had been occupied by several teams of the First Company, but when they returned to Zhaojiazhuang, Hu Heng had already asked them to give up the house and cleaned it up, just waiting for the Fourth Company to move in.

Everyone knows that this is the first company expressing respect to the Fourth Company after the bloody battle. This is the tradition of the Eighth Route Army. A unit that dares to regret the Japanese head-on for the sake of brothers and the common people. Even if they fight all, they will only get the envy of everyone. This is the case now. The reason why they choose to defend Xiaowangzhuang is very simple and clear, that is, they are buying time for the independent regiment headquarters and fellow villagers in Zhaojiazhuang. They almost fought for two platoons but killed and defeated several times of the enemy. How could such a record not be enviable!

Just as the barracks of each squad were allocated, I saw Officer Chen walking in with a few clothes, and he was sending him military uniforms.
Chapter completed!
