Chapter 87

When Huangyadong First Arsenal learned that Li Wei had successfully completed the mission and brought back a group of elite soldiers, he immediately excitedly sent a guard company to pick him up. In order to send Duan Cheng back to the Third Regiment, Li Wei asked the guard company soldiers of the arsenal to send a message and took Duan Cheng to find the Third Regiment of the Independent First Division. Zheng Tongfu and others from Northwest United University were directly taken back to the arsenal by the arsenal guards to arrange accommodation and other work. Only Fan Guowen refused to leave Li Wei, so Li Wei had to take him and Duan Cheng to find the Third Regiment.

Fan Guowen, who had nowhere to go, followed Li Wei pitifully. Since he was separated from his family, Li Wei has almost been his parents for food and clothing. No matter who Li Wei is, he still wants to follow him.

The third regiment headquarters was no longer in its original place. Due to the need for combat, the third regiment often moved, and Li Wei finally found the location of the third regiment.

Li Wei and Duan Cheng stepped into the door of the Third Regiment Department. When the staff in the Regiment Department saw Li Wei and the others, they immediately stood there like wooden stakes.

"Li Wei is back, Duan Cheng is back!" Someone shouted, and a chaotic footsteps quickly approached Li Wei and Duan Cheng.

When Wang Bao and Chen Jiayao saw Duan Cheng for the first time, their eyes stared at Duan Cheng, and their expressions were frozen for a long time. Suddenly, a cheer full of joy broke out, and they rushed over and hugged Duan Cheng. Duan Cheng seemed to have returned to his previous life as a guard soldier. He wanted to hug Wang Bao and the others happily, crying, laughing, and making a fuss, but the shadow of the traitor in his heart made him helpless and embarrassedly made Wang Bao hug him tightly.

Li Wei also looked at Wang Bao holding him and Duan Cheng with tears in his eyes, and patting Wang Bao on the back vigorously. To be honest, the emotions expressed by Wang Bao, who is really simple, are really sensational.

As Chen Jiayao was not allowed to get along with men and women, she wiped tears excitedly and circled around them. The rest of the delegation team also applauded happily again, adding a bit of activity to the busy delegation team.

In Wang Bao and Chen Jiayao's mind, Duan Cheng may have sacrificed, but he did not expect that Li Wei Anran would bring Duan Cheng back at the same time. Duan Cheng's experience made Wang Bao and the others feel that it was a riskier situation, just like Duan Cheng was walking around the gates of hell.

Indeed, Duan Cheng returned to the Third Regiment's headquarters and the guards were really happy, and Li Wei was dragged to stay for a few days. Several young people had some things to say, especially Li Wei brought back a young man, so an introduction was naturally indispensable.

In August, the battles at the Taihang Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base Area became extremely fierce due to the massive invasion of the Japanese, and the various divisions of the Eighth Route Army were frequently mobilized.

Li Wei returned to the Third Regiment and saw many new faces appear among the soldiers of the Third Regiment, and many established teams disappeared. Each soldier seemed very tired. It seemed that the battles for several days were very consuming, both physical and mental and material resources.

In particular, the death of the third regiment commander Zheng Shuwen made Li Wei stunned for a long time. In the end, two lines of tears flowed down. In his memory, the third regiment commander had always been a kind and enthusiastic soldier full of fighting spirit. When he went out to see him off in Taihang Mountain, the third regiment commander still kindly held his shoulder and sent him far away. The scene of Li Wei's memory was still vaguely in Li Wei's memory, but such a respectable man was poisoned by the Japanese devils. It was really unbearable. Duan Cheng could no longer hold back his emotions after hearing the news and burst into tears. In his heart, he always treated the third regiment commander as his father, and the crying made the others in the regiment headquarters cry again.

Because of the sacrifice of the regiment commander, the attack on the third regiment was huge. In order not to affect the combat effectiveness, the superiors sent a new regiment commander. However, it seems that based on habits or unknown reasons, the regiment commander named Gu Yue always had some gaps with Political Commissar Wang, which also made Li Wei feel that he was not very good.

When Li Wei saw the haggard face of Political Commissar Wang, he knew that the sacrifice of the former Third Regiment Commander Zheng Shuwen had a great blow to him. When the new leader saw Li Wei, he did not greet him as enthusiastically as the old leader. He just nodded and became busy with his routine. The new leader's indifference made Li Wei feel that the third Regiment, as friendly as home, became a little unfamiliar.

The first thing Li Wei did when he returned to the Third Regiment to sleepless night was to buy paper money personally, find the grave of the commander Zheng Shuwen alone, and stand silently for a long time, mourning the revolutionary martyrs.

He stood in front of Zheng Shuwen's grave for a long time. Li Wei's thoughts drifted far away. In modern society, wars were almost out of reach. The soldiers who existed for battle seemed to have a great weakening of their existence when there was no war. The people even discriminated against being a soldier, believing that good men would not be in the army, and good iron would not be nailed.

However, in this war-torn era of the War of Resistance Against Japan, death has never been very important in Li Wei's mind. Since Han Xiuying's death, his heart has been buried in her grave. Now Zheng Shuwen's sacrifice has caused an inexplicable fluctuation in his heart. He is still breathing, thinking, and still a living person. However, in the base area of ​​the Anti-Japanese Revolution, everyone, whether it is a soldier or a civilian, fights to his own survival and the survival of the entire country and nation. The martyrs who sacrificed on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War cannot predict their death, but they will not be afraid, but they are more eager to survive than others, and continue to survive for survival. Perhaps one day in the Anti-Japanese era, Li Wei himself will also sacrifice on the battlefield like the third leader, but these are not important, just like a famous poem "Since ancient times, no one will die, leave a loyal heart to shine in history."

As if he felt that the fear of death came from the deep fear in his heart, Li Wei couldn't help but show a little self-mockery on his face. He was also afraid of death, and he was also afraid of it. Perhaps only by being afraid of death can he face life. Since he is so afraid of death, he must survive and leave death to the enemy, not give the enemy any chance to survive.

Until the last little piece of paper burned ashes drifted away with the wind, as if they had figured out something. Li Wei felt that his soul had lost something and got something at the same time when he was unconsciously lost. He sighed and patted the dust on his body and returned to the Santuantuan headquarters. The dead were dead, and the living had more work waiting to do it.
