It turned out that since Liu Lang wanted to personally lead the Panshi Battalion and the artillery company to cut off the entire army, Liu Xueyuan, who broke into the independent regiment headquarters alone, had a dark pregnancy. After Ji Yanxue gave birth to his son Liu Jihua in the summer of the next year,
Half a month later, a baby girl was born in Rongcheng.
Perhaps because he felt ashamed of Ji Yanxue, Liu Xueyuan actually hid the truth about giving birth to a daughter from everyone. Even though she was pregnant with Liujia, she went to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War to report on the battlefield until she fell ill and returned to Rongcheng, Sichuan Province to recuperate. She went to visit Zhuge Liang.
She was not able to greet her at close range because she was bedridden. No one except reporter Liu Da’s family knew that she was about to give birth.
A few months later, the baby girl was only announced to be an adopted soldier orphan, and was adopted as an adopted daughter by Liu Xueyuan. This was too common in the war era. Liu Lang still has three nominal children and his adoptive mother living in the small town of Guangyuan.
Liu Lang's parents lived together, Major General Jiang Yuzhen's mother and three young sons, who cost 5,000 to 70,000.
Those who died in the war have given everything they have for this country, and those who are alive must help them shoulder the responsibilities they can no longer shoulder. Without this, the military morale would have long been weakened by repeated defeats for several years.
Scattered.
Liu Xueyuan did a good job in keeping secrets. Ji Yanxue only knew that Liu Lang still had a daughter in Rongcheng, only a few hundred miles away from Guangyuan, a year and a half ago, if Liu Xueyuan had not had no choice but to ask her and the Huashang Group for help.
Because the child was lost. And he was lost in enemy-occupied territory.
A full six years have passed since the war. Liu Xueyuan's father also held on alone in his hometown in enemy-occupied territory for six years. The old man finally couldn't bear it anymore. According to the news from the spies of the Huashang Group who had been following him
, there is a high chance that the old man will not survive that autumn.
Perhaps hoping to give his father the last bit of comfort, Liu Xueyuan and his young daughter took the risk and disguised themselves and resolutely headed north to the enemy-occupied area of Xiping under the cover of the Chinese business group.
Unfortunately, in any era, there are those who are as solid as a rock and those who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Perhaps because of wealth or because of life, shameless betrayal has always gone hand in hand with heroes and fearlessness, just like light and darkness.
The top person in charge of the Xiping branch of the Huashang Group at that time shamelessly rebelled and surrendered to the enemy after it was revealed that he had been secretly captured by the Japanese invaders. This had lasted for several months.
Liu Xueyuan's trip north to visit his father was a decoy in itself. It was a conspiracy planned for several months after the then commander of the Japanese North China Expedition Army obtained the valuable information that Liu Xueyuan's father was still in Xiping City.
Of course, all the targets of the Japanese army at this time were China's most famous war correspondent. No one knew that the little girl of four or five years old was of greater value.
If it were known that Liu Lang's daughter had been arrested by the Japanese invaders, I don't know how many of Liu Lang's brothers and subordinates would flock to the city where the net was already set up like moths to a flame.
After all, Liu Xueyuan's identity at this time was nothing more than China's most famous war correspondent and Liu Lang's close friend. The one who should come to the rescue most should be the intelligence department of the Chinese government.
Fortunately, Liu Xueyuan's previous confidentiality work prevented the terrible betrayal from developing in a worse direction. Xiao Fenghua's security department discovered the Japanese trap one step ahead and alerted Liu Xueyuan at the edge of Xiping City. But the Japanese army
Of course, the intelligence agencies are not vegetarians. How can they tolerate prey that has been caught in the mouth and escape?
Seeing that he might not be able to escape, Liu Xueyuan entrusted his young daughter to a family in the slums on the edge of Xiping City on the way to escape. That family was one of the thousands of households that the Independence Regiment moved to Xiping from Chengde City at the end of World War I.
One family received help on the road from Liu Xueyuan, a reporter who was with the army at the time.
The identity of the biological daughter of Liu Lang, the leader of the independent regiment, was enough for the family to risk their lives to protect her. After settling her daughter, Liu Xueyuan used it as a bait to attract the Japanese army to pursue the main force in the opposite direction, which demonstrated the greatness of maternal love.
If nothing unexpected happened, Liu Xueyuan would be captured by the Japanese invaders, and the young girl would have a chance to escape. However, things are unpredictable. The Japanese troops chasing them twenty miles outside the city encountered a strong blockade by the red guerrillas who had received the news. However, an infantry company of red guerrillas
They blocked the Japanese invaders' strong attack by more than two infantry squadrons for half an hour.
Liu Xueyuan luckily escaped death and avoided a bad luck. But because of this betrayal, Liu Lang's young daughter was left behind in that city, and the red guerrillas lost nearly a hundred outstanding soldiers. The red guerrillas who came to stop the attack finally
Less than twenty people were able to leave alive.
As the top person in charge of the Security Department of the Independent Regiment, Xiao Fenghua learned that Liu Xueyuan's adopted daughter was Liu Lang's biological daughter. He immediately mobilized the most elite security forces of the Security Department and asked for help from the special operations brigades of several units.
.
Shan Ying, who has been promoted to the captain of the special operations brigade of the independent regiment, personally led four special operations teams from the south to Xiping; Cai Dadao, who has been promoted to the captain of the special operations brigade of the Guangyuan Guard Brigade, personally led five special operations teams from northern Shanxi.
Xiping; the future general who has been promoted to the commander of the Taihang Army Division sent his most elite reconnaissance platoon to Xiping...
A group of elite soldiers sneaked into the huge Xiping City to eliminate traitors and assassinate senior Japanese military officials at targeted locations, almost causing the head of the famous Japanese general to explode. Of course he knew that this was the Chinese army's revenge for his previous trapping of Chinese journalists. This is typical.
Although he stole the chicken but lost the rice, he didn't know that this was a cover-up for the independent group to secretly search for Liu Lang's young daughter.
If all goes well, this rare large-scale war in the past few years will make the top brass of the North China Japanese Army in Xiping City anxious and at the same time rescue Liu Lang's young daughter from the city. But just ten days before that, an incident occurred in the residential area outside Xiping City.
During the epidemic, dozens of people died due to the infectious disease.
Faced with an infectious disease that had been helpless in all dynasties, the Japanese army responded simply and brutally. Tens of thousands of people were driven from their homes to live in Japanese concentration camps. All residential areas were burned to the ground, and countless civilians died in the concentration camps.
When the special forces risked their lives to sneak into the concentration camp and spent many hours to find out the information about that family, they only got the information that several members of the family were dead. As for whether there was a four or five-year-old little girl with braids, who could
There weren’t even one or two at home? Who could remember so clearly at this time? However, some familiar neighbors vaguely remembered that there was such a one. It seemed that no one had seen her again before entering the concentration camp, and the news ended here.
This may also be the last hope for Liu Xueyuan. At least, she escaped the epidemic and the cruel treatment of the Japanese army.
When Ji Yanxue told Liu Lang the news, the security department still did not give up and was still looking for this poor little girl in Xiping City, even though everyone knew that the hope was slim. A child less than five years old who had lost adult care
Even if the little girl was not infected with the disease, how could she survive in this city occupied by the enemy?
Moreover, nearly a year and a half has passed and she still has not been found.
The chance that she can continue to survive is no more than one percent.
"I'm sorry!" These were the three words Liu Lang said at the same time after listening to Ji Yanxue's words in silence.
There is no unnecessary explanation, both of them know what the other is thinking.
Ji Yanxue's tears that had been silent for a long time finally flowed out. No one wants the love that belongs to their husband to be taken away, even in that era when men are superior to women. Ji Yanxue, who accepts new ideas, hopes that her husband and she will
People are of the same mind and walk the road of life hand in hand.
But that is destined to be an expectation in peacetime, just like the expectation that there will be no war. The damn war has changed everything. In troubled times, people's thinking will eventually change. This is the innate nature of living things, and the strong will definitely be there.
He shines brightly in this cruel dispute, and his light is destined not to be stared at by just one person. It has always been like this at all times and in all countries.
After all, people are not saints, even if they are such heroic figures.
Liu Lang sincerely apologized to his wife.
Although it was not his intention to divide love into several parts, it is indeed the case.
Ji Yanxue gently rested her head on her husband's shoulder, all the grievances she had suffered over the years flowed freely with her tears, and said in a voice that only Liu Lang could hear:
"Take her home!"
"Yeah! I'll bring her back!"
Liu Lang nodded and gently touched the long-lost military thorn, his eyes sparkling.
The last time he used it, he was doing it for the country.
But this time, it was not for the country or the people, but just to protect her, the little girl who suddenly appeared in his life.
Although intelligence has shown that the probability of her survival is no more than one percent, Liu Lang is convinced that he will be able to take her home. The bloodline seems to be waiting in the corner of the city.
.......
The plane's engines roared over the Pacific Ocean.
The baby girl with big blue eyes in her arms stretched out her little hand and rubbed Liu Lang's stubble-covered chin playfully. Perhaps the beard made her palms itch a little, causing her to giggle.
Liu Lang grinned with some difficulty and stared at the baby's smiling face: "Are you so happy because you know you are going home? Or is it because you are going to see your sister?"
"Believe me, I will get your sister back. She will grow up with you and play with you." Liu Lang gently kissed her on the forehead of the ignorant baby girl, while looking through the window of the plane.
, staring at the blue waves thousands of miles under the wings, he said softly and firmly.
That is a promise to this little daughter, and more importantly, a promise to the daughter who has no news from thousands of miles away.
Even if we are thousands of miles away, we can return under the starry night for her.
Even if there were millions of Japanese invaders there, she could defeat them.
Because this is a father's promise to his daughter.
There is no man in this world who loves her more than him.
