Everyone returned to the team, walked into the house of Wang Da and Li Chuan, and looked at the relics they left behind, all of them felt very sad and sad, Li Qing asked the soldiers to turn over the relics of Wang Da and Li Chuan and the dead comrades. It's all piled up.

Li Qing led everyone to carry shovels and the relics of these soldiers to the high ground where the county seat of the devil was being investigated at that time and stopped.

"The big guy starts digging!" Li Qing gave an order.

The crowd crackled and dug their hoes and shovels into the soft mud. Little by little, the soil was dug out and gradually piled up into a small slope. The bottom of the pit was pressed tightly with shovels, and the loose soil gradually became smooth and thick. So everyone climbed up from the pit, and Li Qing jumped down and opened a big nanmu box. The team members standing above carefully handed the relics of the dead comrades to Li Qing in the pit. Li Qing took the various relics handed by the team members, gently put them into the box, and when all the relics were put into the box, Li Qing gently closed the box and climbed up with the support of several team members. Li Qing personally picked up the shovel and shoveled the first handful of loess and covered it on the box, and the team members on the side also picked up the shovel and shoveled the loess for their comrades and covered the box. Soon after, a small mound was born in front of the team's eyes. This is Yonghang brought a thick wooden board and handed it to Li Qing. At the same time, Zhang Biao took the inkstone and brush, Yan'er researched the ink for Li Qing, Li Qing held the brush dipped in ink, and wrote "The Tomb of the Anti-Japanese Guerrillas Masses" on the wooden board, and everyone carefully took the tombstone from Li Qing's hand, dug a gap in the ground and inserted the tombstone into it.

Everyone knelt down in front of the tomb, and couldn't bear to leave for a long time, thinking about the brothers who had depended on each other for life and death, thinking of this good captain who trained with himself day and night, everyone's tears couldn't stop flowing, Li Qing opened the wine jar, put the wine bowl, Yan'er helped pour the wine, everyone stood up and gathered around to pick up the wine bowl, and some knelt down one after another.

"Today, I and all my brothers are seeing off the captain and the brothers who have died. Brothers go all the way, I, Li Qing, will definitely lead the team, will not let any brothers suffer any casualties, we will definitely adhere to the road of resisting Japan and saving the country, carry forward the fine traditions of the guerrillas, will not expel the Japanese invaders from the land of China, and will never let go of the guns in our hands! Li Qing shouted while crying.

"Avenge the captain! Avenge your brothers! Avenge the thousands of people who died! The crowd roared. Everyone picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and slammed the wine bowl to the ground.

Early the next morning, Yan'er walked into Li Qing's room. Li Qing brought boiling water, the two sat down, Yan'er said to Li Qing: "Our team has been broken up, now you are a leader, everyone listens to you, you have to cheer up, if you are decadent, what should you do brothers!" ”

"I've been thinking about how the team will go in the past few days, and what kind of team to throw in so that the brothers can continue to take the road of resistance against Japan!" Li Qing said to Yan'er.

"The New Fourth Army is good, but the weapons and equipment are too backward!" Yan'er said.

"Hey, no matter how you say it, it's better than our own guerrillas!" Li Qing said.

"Then it's done, let's join the New Fourth Army! There seems to be an independent regiment of the New Fourth Army stationed nearby, just a few kilometers away, but I don't know exactly where it is. Yan'er pandered.

"Why don't we have a meeting in the afternoon, listen to everyone's opinions, and make plans!" Li Qing said.

"Good!" Yan'er replied with a smile.

In the afternoon, Li Qing convened a discussion meeting, and everyone talked about the situation.

Zhang Biao said: "Lao Tzu is in favor of defecting to the national army, the national army is well equipped, with good equipment, the world is Lao Tzu!" ”

"It's better to be the New Fourth Army! The New Fourth Army has won the hearts of the people! Yu Yan'er said.

"There is a fart in the hearts of the people! In ancient times, which emperor did not rely on force to fight the country? Yan Dahu said.

"Forget it! How can you lead the team to the team! Yonghang said.

"You are really, if you join the New Fourth Army, although it will be very difficult, but our guerrillas have come out of the toiling masses, which is a bit of a hard thing, but if we take our brothers to join the ranks of the National Army, then the cohesion of the guerrillas will disappear! Then these brothers can't be together! If I lead the team myself, I think that I don't have the talent to lead, and besides, the goal of our guerrilla force is to fight this and that at a moment's notice, victory is too far away from us, while the regular troops have a unified goal, and there are various fraternal units to support us, if we join the army, we will definitely be more effective than our small guerrilla force! Be more aggressive! Li Qing said.

"I'm still in favor of pulling the team by myself, and if I join other regular armies, there are a lot of rules, and I'm in trouble!" Yonghang said.

"You're really, pull the team yourself, do you have guns and ammunition? How can you pull it up without weapons! Li Qing said to Yonghang.

Li Qing's words said that Yonghang no longer had an opinion. "Well, well, listen to you, I'm in favor!" Yonghang finally agreed.

"Okay, let's defect to the New Fourth Army, let's go back and prepare!" Li Qing said to everyone.

Everyone also nodded again and again and said, "It's all up to you, go and join the New Fourth Army!" ”

So, everyone returned to the camp and organized the team members to pack up their weapons and ammunition. Ready to embark on the road to find the New Fourth Army.
