Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

In this way, Fugui, Mingyue and several veteran team members embarked on the mission of finding out the surrounding situation.

Before Mingyue left, Shadan repeatedly warned her to listen to Fugui in everything and not to rely on her own strength to bully his master. If Shadan knew that she acted recklessly, he would never let her off easily.

This time we went out to investigate the situation in all directions, and each person was equipped with a 20-shot German-made original Mauser pistol and four magazines.

In addition, each person carried four German-made long-handled grenades and hid them under their bodies.

When leaving, Mingyue didn't look sad at all, she seemed like she was just going to the park, very happy!

The fool who saw this scene was really worried about the fate of this team.

"Master Fugui, you're on your own!"

And the idiot who stayed at home actually started a crazy training mode with the troops.

After two full months of intensive special training, the original 500 people were reorganized into three well-armed and strong companies.

Among them, Shadan served as the battalion commander, and Liu Erzhuang served as the chief of staff.

As for the selection of company commanders for each company...

First of all, the captain of the first company is naturally Fugui! Although he has not yet returned to the team, this important position has always been reserved for him. After all, Fugui is fully capable of doing this job.

Next, let's talk about the captain of the second company, Liu Dazhuang. You know, he was the captain of a county brigade before. Although the team members he led were wiped out by the devils, his ability was there, so it was well deserved for him to be the captain of the company!

However, when everyone learned that the company commander of the third company was Liu Xiaozhuang, many team members began to whisper, and some even showed dissatisfaction on their faces. For a while, the whole team was filled with discussions.

"Why is he the company commander?"

"He used to be a farmer, and his training time is not as long as ours. Why?"

"Who said it wasn't? Why?"

"?"

……

However, Liu Xiaozhuang proved his strength with practical actions.

In a simulated combat, he led the third company to quickly capture a Japanese stronghold, demonstrating outstanding command ability and combat skills.

The team members all looked at him with admiration, and the previous doubts gradually disappeared.

As time went by, the three companies gradually became a team with strong tacit understanding and combat effectiveness.

Why did Shadan let Liu Xiaozhuang be the third company commander?

This is not because of the "nepotism" relationship with his master Liu Erzhuang, but because people see the figure of a natural commander in him.

Just like Li Yunlong in Bright Sword, he is gifted.

Taking out the map, he saw the mountains and water clearly.

In the end, Shadan could only attribute it to his talent.

Even if the third company was pulled out to fight, he felt that Liu Xiaozhuang's company could beat two companies with one company. This is the importance of being a commander.

At this time, Fugui and others who were out on a mission finally returned.

Not only did they successfully understand the surrounding situation, but they also brought back important intelligence.

Fugui handed the information to Shadan, and the two of them worked together to study the next battle plan...

1943 was a disastrous year, especially in the area around Peking.

During the two months of this trip to find out the situation, Fugui specially came to the vicinity of Peking to investigate.

Because before he left, their team leader Shadan, who was from Peking, specifically asked him to visit his home and bring news to his parents that he was alive.

In early summer, plague suddenly broke out in Peking, which was the most disastrous situation for the common people.

Due to the outbreak and spread of the epidemic, many business activities were forced to be suspended or slowed down, resulting in a sharp drop in market demand.

The flow of customers in commercial places such as shops, restaurants, and markets has dropped significantly, sales have plummeted, and many businesses are facing operational difficulties or even bankruptcy.

Secondly, the epidemic has also had an impact on the labor market.

Many workers are unable to continue working due to infection, while some healthy workers are afraid to go out to work for fear of the epidemic, resulting in a labor shortage and further aggravating the difficulties in the production and service industries.

Among them was He Daqing, who had just lost his job.

Even He Daqing, a cook, lost his job. You can imagine how difficult and helpless people's lives are.

After He Daqing and his wife Zhang Guilan fell ill one after another, He Yuzhu was the only one in good health left in the family.

At this time, Zhang Guilan was nine months pregnant. If she continued to be so seriously ill, there would probably be two deaths.

Faced with his parents' painful groans every day, He Yuzhu, a child of seven or eight years old, could only cry and shed tears, feeling exhausted.

The burden of the family now falls on his shoulders alone, but with his current abilities, he can only maintain the status quo.

With the money left over from his father's previous job, it was barely enough to support himself.

Whether to abandon one's parents or live on one's own has become a question of morality and family affection.

Just when He Yuzhu was in a dilemma, suddenly, several strangers came to the gate of his compound.

One of the older people asked He Yuzhu whether he had an elder brother and whether He Daqing had a son named Shadan.

After receiving a positive answer, these people happily walked into the house to visit the sick He Daqing and his wife.

"Who are you?" He Daqing, who was weak and lying on the sickbed, asked with a trembling voice.

However, Fugui did not answer. Instead, he stood up, walked to the door, and looked out through the crack several times.

Then he closed the door gently and walked towards where He Daqing and Zhang Guilan were with steady steps.

After he stood still, he took a deep breath, and said with a firm and sincere look: "Comrades, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fugui, and I am a soldier under your son's command. I came here today because your son asked me to come and visit you two."

Before he finished speaking, a cry of surprise was heard - "Ah!" The voice came from He Daqing.

The eyes that were originally as weak as silk and lifeless suddenly opened wide and stared at the person in front of him who claimed to be rich, his face full of disbelief.

His body couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

Even Zhang Guilan, who hadn't lifted her body for a long time, struggled to sit up.

"Who are you talking about? Who is it? Do you really have any news about my son? How is he now? Is he still alive? Wuuuuu..." Zhang Guilan couldn't help crying, tears pouring out of her eyes like a flood.

Ever since she accidentally lost her young son when she went back to her hometown to worship her ancestors last time, Zhang Guilan has fallen into endless pain and self-blame.
