He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

"Master"

"Master"

Amidst the sounds of gunfire and bombs echoing for miles around, a few low, weak voices rang out from a dilapidated thatched hut.

"Company Commander"

"Company commander"!

At a call, Leyou wearily opened his eyes.

"Company commander, you're finally awake! That's wonderful! I'll call someone right away."

Leyou looked at the thin little guy beside the bed and quickly stopped him:

"Don't go yet. There are still sounds of bombing and fighting outside. Can you tell me what's going on?"

"Company Commander, this is Erniu from logistics. After you were injured and unconscious, your teammates risked their lives to save you."

I was assigned here to take care of you.

The doctor said your constitution is above average, and you only suffered minor internal organ damage from the shock. You just need to rest for a few days and you shouldn't get angry.

"I'm referring to the current battle situation!"

"It has been two days since you fell into a coma. Today is the third day. The engineers are still digging tunnels, but the soldiers who are charging have suffered heavy losses. Many teams are almost wiped out."

"Hey……"

Leyou closed his eyes and waved his hand.

"Company commander, let me get you a bowl of porridge. Eat it so you'll have the energy to rest."

After saying that, he ran out in a panic.

As Leyou listened to the sound of artillery fire outside, recalling the scene before the bombing, tears involuntarily streamed from the corners of her eyes, dripping down the cracks around her eyes onto the blood-stained pillow.

As night fell, Erniu brought in a bowl of porridge and a bowl of wild vegetables.

Leyou forced himself to sit up, and Erniu quickly put down the porridge and vegetables, came over and placed a pillow upright on Leyou's back, then mixed wild vegetables into the porridge and fed it to Leyou.

Seeing the thin Erniu swallow hard every time he scooped up some porridge, Leyou asked:

"Erniu, have you had dinner?"

"I've already eaten. I ate a whole bowl, my stomach is so full, hehe."

Just then, Erniu's stomach rumbled. Leyou swallowed the rice and vegetables in his mouth and continued speaking to Erniu:

"I'm full, you can have the rest."

"Company Commander, you've only eaten a few bites..."

"Hmm, aren't you listening to me?"

"Thank you, Company Commander."

Erniu carefully scooped up some porridge and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly.

"Where are you from, Erniu?"

"Company commander, I am from Hunan."

"Then how did you end up here? It's such a long way!"

"A few years ago, when the Japanese invaded, my mother and I were digging for wild vegetables in the back mountain. When we got back, we found that everyone in our village had died."

My mother took me to the county town, but we encountered the enemy on the way. My mother was killed by the Japanese soldiers while trying to save me.

I kept running until I reached the county town, and then I came here with a lot of other people.”

"I don't think you're old enough. You can't join the army."

"Company commander, I fainted from hunger in the field once, and then my father saw me."

My dad took pity on me and brought me to the unit. There were many kids around my age in our logistics department.

But many sacrificed their lives before, some alongside their fathers, including mine. I went to deliver a message last time, but I couldn't see him one last time.

As he spoke, Erniu burst into tears, while Leyou stroked Erniu's hair in silence.

The next day, Erniu opened the door and saw Leyou already walking slowly away.

Leyou looked at Erniu and said:

Have you eaten? Let's eat together.

Some team members came to visit me last night and brought some food, but I couldn't finish it all by myself.

"Thank you, Company Commander, you're so kind!"

"Company Commander, why are your eyes still red?"

"It's probably because of too much blood flow; it will subside eventually."

How's the battle going today?

"Company commander, I heard today isn't good. Apparently, the Japanese discovered we're digging a tunnel."

"Then keep an eye on it and let me know if there are any new developments!"

……

On the third day at dawn, Erniu opened Leyou's door and found that Leyou could walk normally and even kick his legs.

"Company Commander, you're healed!"

"Yes, it's much better, but it still hurts a little when I exert myself."

"Anything's going on today?"

“When I went back yesterday, I found that a lot of explosives were dropped by planes. This morning I also saw a lot of explosives being transported in.”

"Haha. Doesn't that mean these Japanese devils are about to be blown up!"

"Ha ha"

On the fourth day at dawn, Erniu had not yet reached the thatched hut when he saw Leyou wielding a knife and kicking his legs.

"Company commander, dinner's ready."

"Okay, you eat first..."

Before Leyou could finish speaking, a dense barrage of bombing sounds came from the distant mountains, and thick black smoke billowed from the mountains.

"What's going on today? Did they charge again?"

"Company commander, when I arrived, I heard that the Japanese have confirmed we are digging tunnels."

They are digging a vertical shaft so that they can block our tunnels.

Therefore, many teams wanted to go up the mountain to stop them!

"Quickly, take me to the command post!"

"Company commander, be careful, come with me."

Just as we were about to reach the command post, we heard a command to retreat!

After a while, a voice shouted "Ignite!"

"boom"

A huge explosion rang out.

The mountain trembled as if it had been electrocuted. The Japanese bunkers were blasted out of the ground, some even flying in the air for a while. The mountaintop flattened out as if it had been slapped, and many fortresses were destroyed.

"Charge, brothers!"

"Kill all the Japanese!"

"The time for revenge has come, brothers!"

Seeing this, many soldiers rushed up the mountain after the battle order was given, and soon a burst of gunfire erupted on the mountain.

At this point, what are we waiting for?

Leyou's eyes reddened slightly again!

After arriving at the command post and explaining the situation, Leyou took a submachine gun and some grenades.

When I turned around, I didn't see Erniu anymore, so I figured he must have gone back to logistics.

Leyou picked up his submachine gun and charged with the main force, continuously firing at the fortress that was still firing.

Along the way, soldiers kept firing flamethrowers at the gun ports of the bunker.

Some started bombarding directly with rocket launchers.

At this moment, the machine guns of the remaining bunkers on the mountaintop seemed to come to their senses and began to fire wildly.

The charging team members began to suffer casualties under the intense firepower.

Leyou crawled forward, picking up grenades and ammunition boxes from the corpses of his comrades ahead to fight back.

Just as they were about to reach the summit, several shells were suddenly fired from the fortress, exploding among the soldiers who had already charged to the top.

"Get out of the way!"

"boom"

"boom"

"boom"

Soldiers who had no time to dodge were instantly splattered with blood, and many severed limbs appeared all around, with constant screams of agony.

Leyou's eyes turned red as he watched all this, and he took the last light machine gun from the space and kept firing it at the fortress.

Just then, Erniu's childish voice came from ahead:

"Brothers, victory is just around the corner! All we need to do is wipe out those Japanese devils on the mountaintop!"

"We'll be able to go home soon!"

"Then we can go to school!"

"Then we can avenge our fathers, our uncles and elders!"

"We are neither children nor cowards!"

"Brothers, charge!"

Hundreds of thin children, just like the children before them, picked up submachine guns, rifles, and bayonets from their uncles and elders and rushed toward the top of the mountain.

"Erniu, don't go!"

"Come back quickly."

Watching children, barely taller than rifles, struggling to carry broadswords as they charged forward...

Leyou shouted anxiously.

"Company Commander, Erniu is going to avenge his father. If Erniu were still alive, could you teach him kung fu?"

I just asked someone and found out that your leg kicks this morning were part of your exercise routine!

"We went!"

"Come on!"

A group of thin, half-grown children followed Erniu as he rushed toward the mountaintop.

Leyou hurriedly grabbed his machine gun and charged toward the mountaintop. Many soldiers behind him saw this and shouted to stop him, urging him to speed up his charge!

"Da da da"

"Da da da"

Hearing the gunshots from the mountaintop, Leyou was extremely anxious and wished he could appear there immediately.

In just two hundred meters, Leyou saw many children lying on the ground with their eyes wide open, their bodies riddled with bullet holes.

His oversized military uniform was stained a different color with blood.

Leyou, who was still charging forward, heard that the gunfire had stopped at the top of the mountain.

In a hurry, he stored the machine gun away and grabbed the submachine gun, rushing quickly towards the top of the mountain!

As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, they saw Erniu lying on the ground, with several Japanese soldiers constantly stabbing Erniu's trembling little body with their bayonets.

"what"

"You beasts!"

In a fit of grief and anger, Leyou opened fire repeatedly on the Japanese soldiers.

However, there were obstacles in the way, and the shooting angle was not ideal, so the effect was poor.

The enemy seemed to have deliberately shown him, and he did not try to dodge.

At that moment, Erniu tilted his head and looked at Leyou, opening his blood-stained mouth and weakly saying:

"Company...Company Commander!"

"A true man should act like this!"

"I'm sorry, I'm going!"

After saying that, he stopped breathing. The Japanese soldier beside him then plunged his bayonet into Erniu's stomach, causing it to twist violently.

Erniu, however, remained motionless, his wide eyes fixed on Leyou.

"what"

The sound was filled with such pain, anger, and sorrow.

Leyou roared to the sky, his eyes bloodshot. He released his submachine gun, drew two samurai swords from his waist, jumped over the obstacles, and slashed fiercely at the Japanese soldiers.

"idiot!"

A dense chorus of Japanese soldiers' shouts rang out as they grinned and brandished their bayonets, lunging at Leyou.
