"We resolutely obey the orders of our superiors!"
The two said in unison.
"good!"
Chief of Staff Liu showed a satisfied and relieved expression and patted the two men on the shoulders: "This mission is difficult. Remember, you must be careful."
"yes."
The two men saluted their father with loud voices and tall and majestic figures.
Without any delay, they quickly assembled their troops and prepared to set off.
It was not until everyone left that Chief of Staff Liu's eyes revealed vulnerability and sadness.
He took out a broken, old photo from his pocket, and with his calloused hands he reached out to the person in it.
Carefully, over and over again.
Before I knew it, my eyes were already filled with tears.
The person in the photo is his daughter——
Liu Yixia.
Just before the task was assigned, Chief of Staff Liu learned that his daughter had died on the way to support the enemy the day before.
But without giving it much thought, he immediately sent out his only son and the son-in-law whom he treated as his own son.
At this moment, the complex emotions in his heart could not be expressed in words.
The tough guy who had been strong for most of his life could no longer bear the pressure, and his straight back collapsed in an instant.
At the wounded soldiers' department, everyone's eyes were filled with tears when they heard that Chief of Staff Liu had sent his son and son-in-law to check.
"The Chief of Staff has it so hard. Just yesterday, Chief of Staff Liu's daughter, who was supporting the Shaoting stronghold, refused to give the enemy medical treatment in order to protect supplies. She was blown to death by those beasts who deserved to be killed. Her body has not been found yet. Today, he has to endure the pain of losing his daughter and send his only son and son-in-law out to investigate..."
Everyone present was a veteran, and they knew that if they went out, they would be in danger of death.
When Ji Qingzhou heard these words, he was deeply touched and his eyes became moist.
Looking at the wounded soldiers she had treated, each of them was a man of steel, not afraid of life or death, but at this moment they were crying like children.
Ji Qingzhou's throat was dry for a moment and he couldn't utter a word.

At the same time, a war is about to begin.
"Old Xie, did you hear the gunshot?"
Shen Huaizhi heard the noise and quickly found Xie Yanbei, with a hint of worry hidden in his deep eyes.
"It must be the enemy sneaking up in the dark. Let's go up and take a look."
Xie Yanbei was just studying the topographic map.
Hearing Shen Huaizhi's voice, the man raised his head with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes.
Possible situations flashed through his mind quickly, and he reacted first.
They are now in the trench, and if they climb to the highest point, they can see the surrounding situation clearly.
Shen Huaizhi followed closely behind and silently handed the telescope to him.
"It seems there are only a small group of enemies."
While observing and quickly thinking of a battle strategy in his mind, Xie Yanbei returned the telescope to Shen Huaizhi.
Shen Huaizhi took the telescope and looked in the direction he had just been looking.
"They are not numerous, but they are well-equipped. They must be the enemy's elite troops. There is a village behind us with civilians. We must completely eliminate them and not let them enter the village."
"Um."
Xie Yanbei nodded, agreeing with Shen Huaizhi's statement.
"I'll hold the line here. Have the guards bring a box of grenades over. Gather the best shooters in the team and tell them to cover the rear. If they see the enemy, they're to hit them hard!"
"Okay, I'll come find you after I finish giving you my orders."
Shen Huaizhi acted quickly and assembled the sharpshooters in less than five minutes.
At the same time, the sound of grenades exploding rang out in the sky, and the dark sky seemed to be torn open.
Xie Yanbei leaned half of his body out and pulled the ring of the grenade.
He swung it out in the direction of the enemy.
In just a few seconds, the action was completed in one go.
Looking at the bodies that were blown away, they still did not dare to relax.
At the same time, the other side also launched a fierce counterattack.
They lay on the ground looking for cover, aimed the sniper rifle at Xie Yanbei's head, and pulled the trigger hard.
"careful……"
Shen Huaizhi didn't have time to say anything more, he quickly rushed to Xie Yanbei and pressed him down with his whole body.
The sound of bullets piercing flesh could be heard.
Xie Yanbei's heart was in his throat, and the blood in his body seemed to have stopped.
"Old Shen..."
"Don't worry, I won't die!"
Shen Huaizhi's left shoulder was shot through. He endured the pain and climbed up from Xie Yanbei's body.
Even though his face was pale, large beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead.
There was always a faint smile on his lips, as if he was comforting his good brother.
"Don't just stand there. If the enemy attacks our homeland soon, it will be a huge embarrassment."
Xie Yanbei looked at the horrifying bloody hole on his shoulder, his eyes becoming colder.
The man grabbed a grenade and threw it towards the opposite side with all his strength.
He smashed more than a dozen of them in a row, as if he was tireless.
The opposite side was bombed until it was as bright as day, and all the enemy's traces were exposed in sight.
A few of the fish that were not killed by the explosion tried to get closer, but they were all shot to death by the sharpshooters who came up from behind with machine guns.
It was only a dozen minutes, but it felt like a long time.
The enemy was completely wiped out, the sound of artillery fire gradually subsided, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Yanbei's eyes fell on Shen Huaizhi's injured left shoulder.
"All that's left is to clean up the battlefield. I'll be here long enough. You should treat the wound quickly."
The hanging heart fell back into his chest. Shen Huaizhi knew the ability of his good brother.
He had just straightened up when, coincidentally, a gunshot rang out.
A bullet grazed his face.
"Get down, everyone get down!"
Xie Yanbei was quick to knock him down and loudly warned the other soldiers.
The sound of artillery shells above my head made my relaxed heart tense up again.
Xie Yanbei fumbled with the telescope that he had just put aside and carefully observed the situation on the opposite side.
"It must be the enemy reinforcements that have arrived."
"It's really a dog-skin plaster. If you want to die, don't let any of them go."
Shen Huaizhi lowered his head and looked at his left arm which was still bleeding profusely.
He narrowed his eyes coldly, murderous intent growing in his eyes. He casually took out a grenade from the basket and weighed it in his hand.
"While you were recovering from your injury, I trained every day without missing a beat. Do you dare to compete?"
Xie Yanbei glanced at his left arm calmly, his thin lips slightly pursed.
"I'm afraid of nothing. I'm just afraid someone might not accept the loss and accuse me of bullying a wounded soldier and claiming my victory was unfair!"
Shen Huaizhi pulled his shoulder and said with a grin.
"How dare you say that, kid!"
Shen Huaizhi took the initiative. Since his left hand was inconvenient, he directly grabbed the pull ring of the grenade with his mouth and knocked it hard under his body.
Then use all your strength to throw it in the direction the enemy is moving.
Even the injury to his left hand did not affect his performance too much.
Seeing the enemy being blown to pieces by the grenade, the man spat out the pull ring in his mouth and raised his eyebrows at his good brother.
"How about it?"
