Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

A sound suddenly appeared in the dense forest

Gao Xuan and Song Tao were shocked.

Song Tao quickly whispered, "Hide!"

"Prepare for battle"

"crash"

Everyone immediately went on alert

Tong Liang quickly stopped him and said, "Don't shoot!"

"That voice seems to be Captain Leopard's."

Song Tao frowned: "Are you sure?"

Tong Liang did not answer

Make a "coo coo coo" sound directly with your mouth

Hidden in the dense forest

Also responded with a "coo coo coo"

Tong Liang's face lit up: "Captain Song"

"The signal I just sent was from our Dragon Blood Special Operations Brigade."

"I'm sure Captain Leopard and his men are ahead."

Song Tao quickly shouted: "There is no order from me"

"Don't shoot"

The voice just fell

Several figures emerged from the depths of the dense forest

A figure with hands raised high

Shouted loudly: "Captain Gao, Captain Song"

"I am a leopard"

Gao Xuan and Song Tao both narrowed their eyes.

Wait until they see who's coming.

I couldn't help but feel happy

Gao Xuan excitedly shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Put down your guns!"

'Put Down the Gun'

"We found the commander and his men."

Gao Xuan finished speaking

Just with Song Tao

Run forward

When the two sides meet

Hugging each other enthusiastically and excitedly

Leopard said: "Captain Gao, Captain Song"

“It’s been almost a month.”

"Why did you arrive so late?"

"The instructor is almost going crazy"

"what"

“Why are there only so many of you left?”

Song Tao sighed

Said: "Don't mention it"

"What about the commander?"

"Take us there quickly"

"I have something important to report."

Leopard looked at Song Tao. The soldiers brought by Gao Xuan were very tired and in a mess.

I immediately understood how difficult it was for Song Tao, Gao Xuan and the others on this journey.

The leopard did not hesitate

He quickly said, "The division commander is in Ciping ahead."

"I'll take you there."

......

茨坪

An octagonal building

Zhao Long walked in: "Instructor"

“This place is too remote.”

“We put in a lot of effort.”

"I just found a few newspapers from a few days ago."

Zhao Long handed the newspaper to Li Yan.

Li Yan took the newspaper

No rush to open

He smiled and said to Zhao Long: "Thank you for your hard work."

“When you are looking for a newspaper”

"What's the situation outside now?"

Zhao Long said: "Instructor"

"Very strange"

“We are supposed to enter Jinggangshan.”

“It won’t leave no traces.”

"Plus, the Kuomintang army wants to kill us."

“They will come to surround us.”

“But it seems very peaceful outside now.”

“The towns around us”

"Don't even mention finding any trace of the National Army Security Corps."

"Those landlords, local tyrants, and land thugs"

“It’s rare to see it on the street.”

Li Yan nodded

It seems that the Xi'an Incident still happened

Li Yan did not answer Zhao Long

Asked again: "It's in the attachment."

"Have you spotted the Taoist priest, the little beggar, and the others?"

Zhao Long shook his head

Said: "We searched for half a month"

"Nothing was found"

“In addition, we have already established a presence in nearby towns and villages.”

"Leave the mark of our Dragon Blood Special Forces behind you."

“But there is still no news.”

Li Yan frowned

Standing up anxiously

Said: "According to the time"

"The Taoist priest, the little beggar, and others"

“It should have arrived long ago.”

“There is no trace of them now.”

"Something must have happened."

When Li Yan was getting impatient

Outside, the leopard's joyful voice came

"Instructor"

"Instructor"

"Look who's back?"

Li Yan's eyes lit up

Said to Zhao Long: "It seems that Leopard and the others have made a good discovery."

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking

Gao Xuan, Song Tao, Bao Zi, and Tong Liang walked into the house.

Gao Xuan, Song Tao and Tong Liang were excited

Salute to Li Yan

Li Yan looked at Gao Xuan, Song Tao and Tong Liang, who all looked pale and thin.

My eyes couldn't help but feel sore

Hug the three of them together

Repeatedly saying: "I'm glad you're back"

“It’s good to be back”

After a long time

Li Yancai pulled Song Tao, Gao Xuan and Tong Liang to sit down

Said to Zhao Long next to him: "Hurry up and cook"

"The wild boars, rabbits, etc. that you hunted."

"Take them all out"

"Let everyone have a good feast"

Speaking of which

Li Yan glanced at Zhao Long and said with a smile: "Zhao Long"

"I know where you have two bottles of good wine."

"Lao Gao, Lao Song, Tong Liang and the others are back today."

"Don't be so stingy"

"Take it out"

“Let’s have a good drink.”

Zhao Long said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay."

"Captain Gao, Captain Song, and Tong Liang are back today."

“I’ll just contribute the wine.”

"The instructor in charge of the province is always thinking about you."

After saying that, Zhao Long turned and left

Then there was a burst of laughter in the room

Wait until everyone has laughed enough

Li Yan then asked, "Gao Xuan, Song Tao, how many casualties did you suffer?

Gao Xuan said with red eyes: "Master"

"This time"

“We have suffered great losses.”

"There are less than 120 people left in our 71st Regiment."

"The special forces battalion only has more than 80 people"

"There are more than 40 wounded people here."

Li Yan's heart trembled violently

His eyes narrowed sharply: "We were replenishing our forces in Yudu Xingguo at that time."

"Your 71st Regiment, including the Special Forces Battalion, has nearly 1500 people."

"How could this be?"

Song Tao was silent for a while

After telling the story of crossing the river from Goose Neck Head

Then he continued: "When we crossed the Gan River"

“There are only more than 1000 people left.”

“Then we followed the plan.”

"Enter Jinggangshan from Heshi Town in the north"

“But we’re only halfway there.”

"Suddenly, we encountered the 19th Division of the Hunan Army heading south."

“An encounter took place”

"The other side has more people and more power"

“We had no choice but to flee south.”

“A lot of supplies were lost.”

“Who knew we just returned to Suxi Town?”

"Another encounter with a regiment of the 46th Division"

“We were forced into the mountains near Suxi Town”

“We thought we would be safe once we entered the mountains.”

"But more and more nationalist troops and security forces are gathering here."

“They set up checkpoints at all major traffic arteries.”

“We also sent a patrol team.”

“The enemy has completely surrounded us.”

“We were short of weapons and ammunition”

"Every time we encounter an enemy patrol, we can only fight hand-to-hand."

"Fight to the end"

“We just have to run away again.”

"Gradually, we ran out of bullets, food, and medicine."

“We are like savages”

"Keeping in circles in the mountains"

“I don’t know what’s going on.”

"A week ago"

"The enemy suddenly withdrew all checkpoints and patrols"

“This is the only chance we have to escape to Jinggang Mountain.”

Talking

Song Tao could no longer hide the sadness deep in his heart: "Commander"

“I didn’t bring my comrades out.”

"Even the bodies of many soldiers were not buried."

“I didn’t complete the mission”

Song Tao, Gao Xuan, and Tong Liang all burst into tears.

Li Yan fell silent

After a long time

Li Yancai said: "You have done well enough"

"Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains, why should we return home wrapped in horsehide?"

"You are all great"

Song Tao wiped away his tears

He choked and said, "Master"

“I almost forgot”

"I have another important news to tell you."

"We heard some news about the Taoist priest and the little beggar."
