Chapter 998: Forward, Forward, Forward!

On the day of the appointment, Shen Long opened the door early and waited for the arrival of the guests, before he went to the home of the veterans who had been consulted before entering the world of "Bright Sword", and invited them to come, as soon as he heard that he could meet with his old comrades-in-arms, these veterans readily agreed, for them, there are really not many old comrades-in-arms who can still be seen now.

"Old man, your body is still strong!" Li Kang was the first to bring his old man over, and Shen Long greeted him respectfully, after experiencing the world of "Bright Sword", he became more and more respectful of these veterans who had participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

"Still moving!" The old man is over ninety years old this year, and his speech is still clear, he refused Shen Long's support, and walked into the courtyard tremblingly, "I heard that you also have an Iron Army avant-garde medal?" Can you show me? ”

As he spoke, he took out his medal from his pocket, which, though more than seventy years had passed, had been kept by him very well; Shen Long also took out his medal and handed it to the old man with both hands.

"This is it! That's it! Back then, our regiment commander also had one, but when we were fighting American devils, the regiment commander was ....." The corners of the old man's eyes moistened, and he solemnly took the medal and rubbed it carefully.

Shen Long hurriedly put his hand on his back lightly to help him get through a trace of true qi, the old man is so old, and it is not a good thing for his mood to change drastically.

"Old man, you sit down first, I still have some old photos here, you can take a look at it slowly." Shen Long invited the old man to sit down in the middle of the courtyard, took out some old photos that he brought back from the world of "Bright Sword" and handed them to the old man.

"Oh, this is the Jianshan of Yuncheng, right? I had been here before, but by the time I did, the war was over, and I couldn't help. "Even though more than 70 years have passed, the old man still recognizes the place in the photo at a glance.

Looking at the photos one by one, bringing the old man back to that era of gunpowder, Shen Long helped him explain one by one, the old man was extremely fascinated, and it took a long time to turn over the photo and look at the next one.

At this time, the rest of the veterans also arrived one after another, they were wearing old military uniforms one by one, decorated with the medals they had received, saluted after meeting each other, and then reported to their homes, "Li Yougui, a soldier of the 2nd Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 716th Regiment of the 358th Brigade of the 120th Division, enlisted in 1942!" ”

"We ..... we are still old comrades-in-arms, I am from the Daqingshan Detachment, and I joined the army in 1941!" The Daqingshan detachment was split from the 358th Brigade, and these two old men can indeed be said to be old comrades-in-arms of the same army strictly speaking.

"Then I'll have to call you an old man!" The old man of Li Kang's family took the hand of this veteran of the Daqingshan detachment and said, "My brother is also staying in the capital, but it's a pity that I didn't meet sooner!" ”

If they were ten years younger, they would have to make an appointment to go to the Daqingshan Mountains, to the northwest of Jinxi, and to see the places where they had fought back then, but now, they can only remember the past through photos, "Come, look, there is a photo of the Daqingshan Mountains here, see if you have been here back then?" ”

"You are all regular soldiers, I was still a small soldier of the children's regiment at that time, and I didn't fight before, so I took a red tassel gun to help our team sentry!" There were slightly younger ones who looked at them enviously.

"What's wrong with the children's group? That was also for the anti-Japanese efforts, we were so well-informed back then, and the help of the children's group was indispensable, speaking of the contribution to the fight against Japan, brother, you are definitely not less than us! I still remember that back then, when I was in the Yanbei detachment, I once passed by a village, thanks to the children's group in the village...... "These old people are already old, and many things have long been forgotten, but when they meet the old comrades-in-arms who have fought together, all kinds of past events clearly surface, and all this is as if it just happened yesterday......

"Old men, it's not too early, let's start eating!" At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Long invited the old men to the dining table and prepared to serve them food.

"Xiao Shen, it's already very happy that our brothers can meet and have a good chat today, we are all so old, no matter how delicious something comes to our mouths, it is tasteless, you don't have to worry too much, just get some." The old man of the Li Kang family said, and the rest of the veterans also nodded in agreement, "Yes, just get some food for these dolls, and we won't have to bother too much." ”

Hearing this, Li Kang smiled awkwardly, he was in his thirties, and he was still called a doll, but when he saw that there were fifty or sixty people next to him, who were also called dolls, he was relieved again.

"Old man, you must like the things I took out today!" Saying that, Shen Long brought up the prepared meal, and asked about the smell of the food, and the old men couldn't help but sniff.

"Is this ..... black bean mush? And rice? I haven't tasted this in years....." The old man of the Li Kang family couldn't help but burst into tears again, "Kang Wazi, help me bring a bowl." ”

"Grandpa!" Li Kang's face was embarrassed, can you eat this thing?

"It's okay, for the elderly, eating some coarse grains once in a while is good for the body, and these are processed by me with special means, which are still different from the kind they ate back then." Shen Long whispered in his ear, Li Kang hesitated, and only after tasting it did he give the old man a bowl, and the children of the other veterans also followed suit, and one came with a bowl.

Black bean paste is to grind black beans into small pieces and add water to boil; The black bean paste is the food that the Eighth Route Army often eats back then, and the rice is a little extravagant, and it can only be eaten once a week; Coupled with a variety of wild vegetables and pumpkin soup, Shen Long recreated the food of the Eighth Route Army more than 70 years later.

"It's this taste..... it's this taste..... every time we went to eat Lao Rice, we couldn't even get excited...... "Although the sense of taste has almost failed, the veterans still remember the past."

"And this pumpkin soup, it's so delicious! The flavor of sauerkraut and cranberry is also positive...... Hey, and canned beef, this is a celebration banquet after winning the battle, right? Why don't you burn sweet potatoes? You can't do it without alcohol! ”

This is really not, who dares to give a group of eighty or ninety-year-old men a drink, in case there is a good one, Shen Long himself will have to feel guilty, but fortunately, Old Man Li is magnanimous and helped Shen Long to break the siege, "Since it is a celebration banquet, we have to sing a song, come, I'll start and move forward!" Forward! Forward! ……”

"Onward! Forward! Forward! Our team ...... to the sun" The veterans present sang this familiar song with their leaky mouths, although their voices were vague, the spirit from the bottom of their hearts still moved Shen Long and the others!
