Lao Gu only received the mission before evening. The head of the regiment asked the elder Gu of the first company to lead the company to rush to the position to complete a blocking task in order to allow the large troops to transfer safely. The head of the group clearly told Lao Gu that the entire transfer work could be completed before midnight at the most. At that time, the head of the group would ask the trumpeter to blow the trumpet, and as long as Lao Gu heard the sound of the trumpet, he could lead the company to break through. But Lao Gu and the soldiers of the company never heard the trumpet of the regiment leader to let them break out.Lao Gu and a company of soldiers waited bitterly in the fight of life, from dusk to midnight, and from midnight to dawn. The whole company of soldiers repelled the attacks of enemies dozens of times their size, The company soldiers sacrificed from hundreds of people to only a few dozen people, and a few people to all died in battle.

I don't know how many times afterwards, Lao Gu would think that if he died with the soldiers of the company at that time, it would be a one-off, that would be great. However, Lao Gu did not die.Lao Gu is the only survivor in the whole company. If the commander's trumpet had been heard before midnight, Yilian would not have lost so badly.Lao Gu thought in his heart. Lao Gu has been trying to figure out why the head's number has not rang? At the foot of the mountain not far from the position, there is a village called Jiangjunmiao. There are hundreds of families living in the village. The large army was stationed in this village before the transfer.Lao Gu was rescued down the mountain by a pair of middle-aged peasant widows in the village.

From the middle-aged peasant couple, Lao Gu knew that the large army did not hear the sound of the horn when they were transferring.The entire transfer was carried out quietly. Lao Gu couldn't believe it.Lao Gu said, did you really not hear the horn? The middle-aged farmer said, yes, I didn't hear the horn. At first, Lao Gu suspected that the head of the group might have blown the horn, but he didn’t hear it. Now hearing what they said, Lao Gu couldn’t stand it anymore. His face turned red and purple, and he could see the veins in the blood vessels on his forehead. blood rolling in it.Lao Gu complained to the head of the regiment in his heart. He clearly said that he would blow the horn for the large troops when they were safely transferred, but in the end he didn't mean anything and left them alone.If they could hear the commander's trumpet before midnight and let them break through, they wouldn't be wiped out even if they said nothing.Lao Gu was very sad and angry by the leader's actions.

Sometimes Lao Gu also thinks this way, could it be that the head of the regiment was busy directing the transfer of troops and forgot about blowing the horn? Or something else happened? I don’t want to blow the horn anymore, you know, blowing or not blowing the horn is related to the lives of a whole company of soldiers! The regiment leader is really too much. In the days that followed, Lao Gu fell into a deep pain. While recovering from his injuries, he inquired about the whereabouts of the third regiment. He thought he would catch up with the troops no matter what.Lao Gu felt that as long as he caught up with the troops, he and the head of the regiment could have an argument, otherwise, he would be too sorry for the soldiers of the company who had already died heroically.

Lao Gu vowed to find the head of the group, even if he traveled all over the world, he would find the head of the group. In this way, Lao Gu embarked on a long journey to find the troops.When Lao Gu took the first step along the mountains, he realized how easy it is to find troops.Because from all the news he got, there was only one direction for the troops, and that was to go south.Maybe I went to Anhui, maybe I have crossed the Yangtze River.Where it went, no one can tell.Lao Gu's only option was to go south.Lao Gu walks tens of miles almost every day, whenever Lao Gu hears that there are troops, he will run there.Lao Gu walks day and night.He walked in the dark, exhausted.Lao Gu was too tired to go on.

One evening in early winter, Lao Gu finally came to the bank of the Yangtze River. Before this, Lao Gu didn't know how many roads he had walked, and how many days and nights he had walked.It was just early autumn when Lao Gu set off from Lunan, but now, it is already the deep winter season when the cold wind is blowing and thousands of trees are withering. Lao Gu looked at the Yangtze River flowing eastward, and felt very sad. Lao Gu ran around unexpectedly, but in the end he didn't even see a shadow of the troops. Lao Gu has nowhere to go. In fact, Lao Gu did not dare to go further south.Lao Gu guessed that it was impossible for the troops to cross the Yangtze River so quickly, even if he crossed the Yangtze River to find the troops, it would be in vain.This is one; second, Lao Gu knows that after crossing the Yangtze River, Fujian is almost in front of him.That has always been a heart problem for him, because Fujian is his hometown.

In 1938, Lao Gu went to the southern Shandong battlefield to fight against the guerrillas in central Fujian.In the ten years since then, Lao Gu has never returned to his hometown. Everything in his hometown is so warm and kind to him. There are his biological parents, brothers and sisters there, and there is another one who is two years younger than him. A very dignified and lovely child bride-in-law.Lao Gu thought that if he crossed the Yangtze River, he would definitely not be able to withstand the temptation of home, and he would go to Fujian step by step. At that time, he would never be able to find his regiment leader.

Looking at the muddy yellow river, Lao Gu was filled with melancholy. It was at this time that Lao Gu suddenly fell ill.
