Chapter 998: Forward, Forward, Forward!

On the appointed day, Shen Long opened the door early and waited for the arrival of the guests. He specially went to the home of the veterans who had consulted before entering the world of "Bright Sword" and invited them to come. When he heard that he could meet the old comrades, These veterans readily agreed. For them, there are really not many old comrades in arms who can still see them now.

"Old man, you are still in good health!" Li Kang brought his old man over first, and Shen Long greeted him respectfully. After experiencing the world of "Bright Sword", he respected these veterans who had participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Become more respectful.

"You can still move!" The old man is over ninety this year, and his speech is still clear. He declined Shen Long's support, and walked into the yard tremblingly, "I heard that you also have an Iron Army Vanguard Medal? Let me see it Is it?"

As he said that, he took out his medal from his pocket. Although more than seventy years had passed, he had kept this medal very well; Shen Long also took out his medal, and handed it to the old man with both hands.

"That's it! That's it! Back then, our regiment leader also had one, but when he was fighting the American devils, the regiment leader..." The corners of the old man's eyes were moist, and he took the medal solemnly, rubbing it carefully.

Shen Long hurriedly put his hand on his back lightly to help him get over his anger, the old man is already so old, it is not a good thing that his mood changes drastically.

"Old man, please sit down first, I still have some old photos here, please take a look at them first." Shen Long invited the old man to sit in the middle of the yard, took out some old photos he brought back from the world of "Bright Sword" and handed them to the old man , These photos have been specially processed by him, and it seems that there are not many flaws.

"Oh, this is the Jianshan Mountain in Yuncheng, right? I have been here before, but when I went, the war was over, and I couldn't help." Even though more than seventy years have passed, the old man still sees it at a glance. Recognized the place in the photo.

Looking at the photos one by one, brought the old man back to the era full of gunpowder and smoke. Shen Long helped him explain one by one.

At this time, the rest of the veterans also arrived one after another. They wore old military uniforms embellished with the medals they had won. Li Yougui, a soldier from the Third Battalion and Second Company of the Sixth Regiment, joined the army in 1942!"

"We...we are still old comrades in arms. I am from the Daqingshan Detachment. I joined the army in 1941!" The Daqingshan Detachment was separated from the 358th Brigade. Strictly speaking, these two old men can indeed be said to be a unit old comrades.

"Then I have to call you brother!" The old man of Li Kang's family took the hand of the veteran of the Daqingshan Detachment and said, "My brother is actually staying in the capital, it's a pity that I didn't get to know him earlier!"

If they were ten years younger, they might meet to go to the Daqingshan Mountains, to Northwest Shanxi, to see the places where they fought, but now, they can only remember the past through photos, "Come, see , here is a photo of the Daqingshan mountain area, have you been here before?"

"You are all regular soldiers. At that time, I was a soldier in the children's regiment. I had never fought in battle, so I helped our team guard with a red-tasseled gun!" Some younger men looked at them enviously.

"What's wrong with the children's group? It also contributed to the anti-Japanese war. We were so well-informed back then, and the help of the children's group was indispensable. Speaking of the contribution to the anti-Japanese war, you are definitely no less than us! I still remember that year, in Yan When I was in the North Detachment, I passed by a village once,

Thanks to the children's group in the village..." These old people are old, and many things have long been forgotten, but when they meet the old comrades who fought together, all kinds of past events come back clearly, and all this seems to have happened just yesterday... …

"Old men, it's getting late, let's start eating!" After five o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Long invited the old men to the dinner table and prepared to serve them.

"Xiao Shen, we are very happy to meet and have a good chat today. We are all so old. No matter how delicious food is in our mouths, it will be tasteless. You don't have to It's too much trouble, just get some food." The old man of Li Kang's family said, and the rest of the veterans also nodded in agreement, "Yes, just get some food for these dolls, and we don't have to bother too much."

Hearing this, Li Kang smiled awkwardly. He was already in his thirties, and he was being called by dolls one by one, but when he saw that there were others in his fifties and sixties, who were also called dolls, he again relieved.

"Old man, you must like the things I brought out today!" As Shen Long brought up the prepared food, he asked about the smell of the food, and the old men couldn't help sniffling.

"This is... black bean paste? There is also rice? I haven't tasted these for many years..." The old man of Li Kang's family couldn't help but burst into tears again, "Kang baby, help me get a bowl here."

"Grandpa!" Li Kang looked distressed, can this thing be eaten?

"It's okay. For the elderly, eating coarse grains once in a while is good for the body, and these are processed by me in a special way, and they are different from the ones they ate back then." Shen Long whispered in his ear Whispering, Li Kang hesitated for a while, and served a bowl for the old man after he had tasted it himself. The children of other veterans also followed suit, and each of them brought a bowl.

Black bean paste is to grind black beans into small pieces and boil them with water; to boil rice is to add water to boil millet until it is ripe, then take it out and stew it into dry rice. It can only be eaten once a week; with various wild vegetables and pumpkin soup, Shen Long reproduced the food of the Eighth Route Army after more than 70 years.

"That's the taste...that's the taste...every time we went to eat Laofan, we couldn't get excited..." Although the sense of taste has almost failed, the veterans still think of the past. .

"And this pumpkin soup, it's really delicious! The taste of sauerkraut and mango is also very good... Hey, there is also canned beef. This is the celebration banquet after the victory, right? Why is there no sweet potato roast? It can't be done without wine. !"

This is really not the case. Who would dare to drink to a group of ten-year-old old men? Let's play the song, come on, I'll start, move forward! Forward! Forward!..."

"Forward! Forward! Forward! Our team is facing the sun..." The veterans present sang this familiar song with a leaky mouth. Although their voices were vague, they came from the spirit of the heart It still moved Shen Long and others!
