Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

The other comrades around him also noticed that this comrade had left, and started to take out shovels to dig a hole and bury the man.

Shen Jinzhen stood aside with the others, saluted, and returned to the team silently.

So many comrades died along the way that I didn't even have time to shed tears.

"Jinzhen, don't think too much. We will definitely reach the right place soon and establish a base."

Wei Ruo came to see that Shen Jin was in a bad mood and gently rubbed her hair.

"Well, it should be soon."

Time goes by day by day, and now it is February. The temperature is gradually rising, ushering in the season of spring flowers.

After reflecting on the previous defeat, the central government learned from its mistakes and replaced the new leader.

The Central Column also went from Zunyi to Sichuan.

"Now we have the Guizhou Army in front of us, the Guangxi Army behind us, and the Hunan Army and Sichuan Army beside us. I feel like we are about to experience another life-and-death breakout."

When the army was resting, Niu Chunmiao couldn't help but start to worry again.

It seemed that the situation did not improve much after crossing the Xiangjiang River. In the battle of Xiangjiang River, the organization lost 50,000 people, and the Red Fifth Army where Liao Sige was located had only a thousand people left, less than one in ten.

"Captain Cao told us that as long as we successfully break through the Sichuan Army's blockade and join forces with the more than 100,000 troops of the Red Fourth Army, we won't suffer such heavy casualties as before, whether we are looking for an opportunity to establish a new base or launch a counterattack."

Shen Jinzhen was relatively optimistic. Although there were still occasional harassment from enemy planes, everyone was more alert and reacted quickly to avoid enemy reconnaissance and bombing.

"Yes, Jin Zhen is right. Although the enemy is still chasing us, they are not following us as closely as before. We have a lot of time to act. When we successfully reunite, we can finally end this period of transfer."

Wei Ruolai has grown some beard on his chin these days. The long period of transfer has left him with no time to take care of himself, and his face looks a little unkempt.

However, Niu Chunmiao always praised him and kept saying that he was now more manly and more like a grown man.

This made Wei Ruolai often look at Jinzhen anxiously, fearing that Jinzhen would despise him for his unkempt appearance.

"I like it no matter what it is."

If her original liking was more for Ruolai's appearance and personality, now her liking is more about trust and reliance.

During that difficult and hard time, they supported each other and moved forward. When the enemy attacked, they escaped together and fought back. This trust in life and death has long surpassed the initial throbbing.

As time goes by, the handsome face will eventually turn into dry bones.

But the love for appearance often changes over time. Now, she and Ruolai have such a rock-solid revolutionary friendship, and the deep feelings in their hearts are no longer limited to simple liking or not.

Wei Ruolai held Jinzhen in his arms. There were times when he couldn't hold on, but when he saw Jinzhen always looking at him with a smile and pulling him forward, his uncertainty disappeared.

"Jinzhen, I heard that people in Sichuan love to eat chili peppers. If we can establish a base, I will definitely buy some chili peppers and cook for you to try."

Shen Jinzhen smiled and nodded.

After hearing this, Niu Chunmiao couldn't help but interrupt, "Come on, the food you cook is already awful, and with the addition of chili peppers, it's simply unbearable to look at."

"I'm not making it for you to eat."

Wei Ruolai was a little dissatisfied. Jin Zhen praised him for his progress. He thought that if he worked harder and studied harder, he would definitely be able to make the flavor that Jin Zhen liked.

"Tsk, I don't want to eat yet."

Niu Chunmiao couldn't stand Wei Ruolai's proud expression and couldn't help but complain again.

Wei Ruolai was about to say something else when he suddenly saw Captain Cao walking towards him.

"Comrades, the Central Committee has decided to go to Tucheng first, then pass through the Monkey Field and head to Chishui. We will set off in a quarter of an hour. Everyone pack your bags and prepare to move forward."
