Xue Xiang found a corner at the intersection of Yangliu Street, stopped the motorcycle, carried three newly-built blue and white porcelain jars with three peppers, and walked straight to the northwest corner. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a sentry from afar. After coming to the sentry, he would be the plum garden.

"Comrade, please call me Guan Chunlei." Xue Xiangxing approached and spoke before he could ask the guards who came up to him. When he arrived at Demei Garden, he called Guan Chunlei, which was something Xue Anyuan had asked in advance.

The guards looked at Xue Xiang in front of him, who was wearing a woolly coat, and was stunned. Guan Chunlei was his immediate superior, who was in charge of the leader, but all those who came here came to visit the old leader, and they had never spoken to Captain Guan.

Hearing Xue Xiangdaoming's purpose, the guard soldier made a gesture to the checkpoint behind him, and said a few words to the phone. Soon, with a whisper, the gate of Meiyuan opened, and a big man from Angzang came out.

"Who is looking for me? It's so fresh. I've been in Meiyuan for more than ten years, and someone has come to see me again." Guan Chunlei's face was red, his halberd beard was sturdy, his body was strong, and he was tall, and it was difficult to tell his age from a distance. Before he could get close, a thunderous voice came over, and such a mighty person was as famous as his name.

"Uncle Guan, happy new year. I am Xue Anyuan's nephew, Xue Xiang." Xue Anyuan introduced Guan Chunlei's basic situation to Xue Xiang yesterday. Xue Xiang knew that he was fifty years younger than his uncle and much older than his father. It was right to say "Uncle".

"Xue An Yuan! Are you really... Old Lian... The eldest nephew?" Guan Chunlei heard the three words Xue Anyuan, and accelerated and rushed to the front, pulled Xue Xiang's collar and asked, his words were full of disbelief.

No wonder Guan Chunlei was so out of control. The old commander was ups and downs. He could finally escape Meiyuan, but the old company commander had gone away and no news. As an old man who had not survived the 229th Division's old guard company, Guan Chunlei's feelings for the old company commander Xue Anyuan could not be expressed in words? It was a life-and-death friendship that was fired in the rain of bullets and blocked bullets for the other party in the blood and fire, and exchanged for his life. He was rushing to carry the ** bag to destroy the enemy's machine gun position. Xue Anyuan has been in for almost six years. Due to the zz climate at that time, Guan Chunlei never dared to visit him. It was not that Guan Chunlei was afraid of being implicated, but he was afraid of implicating Xue Anyuan and the old commander. At this moment, he heard that the person coming was the nephew of the old company commander, so Guan Chunlei could not resist the excitement.

Over the years, I have been so detained that even the old company commander's family has not taken care of. Is it still the Chongyiguan cannon of the old guard company? The child came here today and must have encountered any trouble. Today is different from the past, so I don't see who came to Meiyuan today! Even if there is a big deal, I must have asked the old commander to do it for the child. Guan Chuntou first gave Xue Xiang what he came to, and he decided to make up his character.

Xue Xiang held three blue and white porcelain jars stringed with thin hemp rope in his left hand. Although his right hand was free, Chun Lei reached out to grab his big hand on the collar. As soon as Guan Chun Lei finished speaking, Xue Xiang did not answer, but reached into his waist and took out a gun. It was the turtle box that Xue Anyuan told him.

Guan Chunlei let go of Xue Xiang's collar and copied the Japanese-made Southern Fourteen pistol. He couldn't help but rub it carefully. Suddenly, tears rolled out from his eyes. Guan Chunlei didn't know this pistol. This was the old commander's gun back then. Speaking of this gun, he owed the old company commander another life!

That was thirty-four years ago. It was 1942. It was the anti-sweeping process. The old commander received a notice from the Eighth Route Army headquarters to attend a meeting. The 229th Division arranged for the guard company commander Xue Anyuan and the guard soldier Guan Chunlei to escort along the way. The division headquarters was more than 100 miles away from the headquarters and had to pass through the Japanese occupied area along the way. Xue Anyuan and Guan Chunlei protected the old commander and wandered around the day and night, and took the path. It was smooth all the way, but when they crossed the ridge near Zhengtai Road, something happened.

At that time, a special force of the Japanese, "Special Advance Killing Team", attacked the Taihang Mountain headquarters and retreated. Xue Anyuan and the other two encountered the remnants of the second squadron of the "Yizi Standing Team" that disguised as our army. This Yizi Standing Team specialized in disguised as our army, and everyone could speak fluent Chinese, specializing in assassinating senior party and government cadres of our army.

At that time, it was dim and when both sides encountered each other in Erdaogang, Guan Chunlei saw that the other party was wearing the Eighth Route Army uniform and thought it was his own. He called him to open it from a distance. The captain of the Yizi Stand Up Team Shigeo, the captain of the Yizi Stand Up Team, pretended to respond, and then called his subordinates to wave the flashlight. After seeing the old leader's face, Shigeo Yizi immediately took out a photo from his pocket to compare. It turned out that the photos of the senior leaders of our army were personally collected by the members of the "Yizi Stand Up Team" and were ready to assassinate at any time.

When Xue Anyuan saw that the other party had taken out the photo, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He quickly grabbed Guan Chunlei who was about to rush out of the hills and went over to help him protect the old leader from the hidden. At this time, Shigeo Yizi also recognized the old leader from the photo, and was not willing to miss the important leader of the Eighth Route Army. Seeing that the other party seemed to be suspicious, he immediately called on the seven or eight subordinates around him to launch a strong attack. So, the two sides caught fire across a slope.

Less than five minutes after the fire exchange, Xue Anyuan and Guan Chunlei realized that the Japanese were extraordinary. The other party actually shot a little with a submachine gun, and it was extremely accurate. If it weren't for the dim sky and the vision was blocked, they would have been reimbursed. The two of them had confronted each other for a while, and Shigeo Yizi led seven or eight subordinates to charge. Fortunately, Xue Anyuan and Guan Chunlei knew that this was dangerous. Each of them carried five or six melon grenades on their bodies. With these powerful grenades, they continued to charge the Japanese.

Although Xue Anyuan and Guan Chunlei blocked the first wave of attacks, they failed to escape. Xue Anyuan was shot in the left arm and Guan Chunlei was knocked away in military cap. Xue Anyuan knew that it would be bad if he could hold on like this. At this moment, the bullets of the two were exhausted, leaving only three grenades to intimidate the Japanese. At that moment, Xue Anyuan ordered Guan Chunlei to protect the old leader and retreat first, and he cut off the back, but was completely rejected by the old leader and Guan Chunlei.

At that time, the old leader pulled out the pistol from his waist - a fourteenth day-south style, and he had to fight side by side with the two guards. But the old leader was a political cadre, so how could he fight? Xue Anyuan rolled sideways, rolled close to him, snatched the turtle box from the old leader's hand, pressed against his temple, and threatened to die, asking the old leader and Guan Chunlei to retreat first, and he would block the enemy. Guan Chunlei had no choice but to drag the old leader with an angry face to retreat.

Shigeo Yizi also discovered the movement there. This time, the "stop team" surprise attack on the Eighth Route Army headquarters failed. If the big fish in front of him could be left behind, his squadron would be able to make a fortune. Shigeo Yizi immediately led the remaining Japanese who could move and rushed up with a scream. Xue Anyuan launched a counterattack without hesitation. The turtle box he snatched from the old leader was no longer used at this moment. He inserted it into his waist, lifted the remaining three grenades and pulled the rings in turn and threw them out. Xue Anyuan did not choose to delay the throwing, but to create a gap for the old leader and Guan Chunlei in the shortest time. Due to the lack of delay, the three explosive grenades did not cause effective damage to several Japanese soldiers who had been through many battles. Soon, Shigeo Yizi led the four Japanese to rush up again.

Xue Anyuan stopped charging recklessly this time, but leaned out the turtle box and blocked it. Besides, he was powerless to charge at this moment. He was thrown into three grenades and got two more bullets. Fortunately, he was not injured in the vital points and could still support it. Xue Anyuan blocked four Japanese devils for several minutes. At this time, it was dark. It was not easy to escape from the old leader and Guan Chunlei. He was shot twice, thinking that his life was unsuccessful, and he did not want the body to fall into the hands of the Japanese. The weapons in his hand were seized by the Japanese, but the important documents in the interlayer of the clothes were taken away by the Japanese, which would cause heavy losses. Thinking about this, Xue Anyuan raised Yu Yong, struggled to get up, and ran wildly to the south side of the Erdaogang.

There was a cliff here. Xue Anyuan was about to jump off and was shot again behind the back. Now, he completely lost control of his body and fell straight down the cliff. Unexpectedly, his life was not enough. There was a pool under the cliff, which was a branch of Xiaoshang River. The pool water was very deep. After Xue Anyuan fell into the pond, he was washed down by the water flow and was rescued by the peasant woman who got up early to wash clothes at the foot of Erdaogang. The peasant woman saw his outfit and knew it was the Eighth Route Army, so she notified the local underground party. Then, Xue Anyuan was sent to the rear hospital for several twists and turns and was rescued. In this battle, Xue Anyuan was shot seven times, but fortunately he was not hit the key point, but due to delayed treatment, the wound had been infected and suppurated. He was sent to the rear general hospital for a whole night of surgery. He had just died and survived.

It took Xue Anyuan half a year to raise his body and return to the army. After returning to the team, Xue Anyuan wanted to return the turtle box to the old leader, but the old leader refused, saying that it was given to Xue Anyuan, asking him to kill the enemy on his behalf and kill a few more Japanese. After that, Xue Anyuan set up a combat force, fought all the way south and north, east and west, and rose step by step under the intentional or unintentional care of the old leader. Guan Chunlei has served as the old leader's personal guard. He has never changed his position for decades, nor has he encountered war again.

It is said that the Erdaogang encounter that night was the most dangerous battle in Guan Chunlei's life. Therefore, he remembered this turtle box very clearly, not to mention that the old leader's surname "Nan" was engraved in the lower left corner of the handle of the turtle box. Therefore, when Guan Chunlei saw it, he recognized the gun. Xue Anyuan handed the gun to Xue Xiangchi to Meiyuan, not to remind the old leader and Guan Chunlei not to forget the grace of saving his life that day, but to give Xue Xiang a pass. Otherwise, how could he enter the plum garden casually and meet the old leader?

Guan Chunlei held the turtle box tightly, his tiger's eyes turned red, and the guards around him who had not retreated were curious. Guan Dapao's temperament, who doesn't know the guards in Manmeiyuan, that was standing in the wind to death, starving to death, who had ever seen him shed tears?

The iron man was crying the most. The guard soldier couldn't bear it and took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Guan Chunlei, allowing him to wipe his tears. The guard soldier's actions completely pulled Guan Chunlei back from his distant memories. He shed tears in front of the two juniors, making Guan Chunlei's old face flushed and he was a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Guan Chunlei's temperament was quite similar to Zhang Fei's temper, thick and thin. When his mind turned, he had an idea. He took the handkerchief openly, wiped his forehead, and said, "You kid are smart enough, how do you know I'm hot?"

Xue Xiang and the guards who stood beside him heard this, black lines appeared on their foreheads, and they all looked up at the sky, thinking: Is it not snowflakes but cotton that are flying in the sky?

ps: The "advance into the murder team" and the "Yizi Standing Team" disguised as our army were not fabricated by Jiangnan. It is indeed true in history. Interspersed with the Second Daogang encounter, it is not Jiangnan's off topic. If it is poured into water, it is really gone. How can this section be revealed? How can Xue Anyuan and the old leader show their friendship? After all, there are many soldiers who have guarded the old leader.
