"Charge!" Zhao Gang shouted, leading the assault team to attack from the flank. The enemy was caught off guard and immediately fell into chaos.

"Suppress their firepower and don't give them the chance to counterattack!" Tang Li commanded loudly.

The soldiers charged forward bravely, their weapons spitting flames, and the enemy's position quickly collapsed under the fierce attack. Tang Li led the charge, firing his submachine gun repeatedly, knocking down several enemy soldiers along the way.

"Zhao Gang, take a few people to cut off their retreat!" Tang Li ordered.

Zhao Gang quickly led several soldiers to go around the enemy's rear and successfully cut off their retreat. Under the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army, the enemy retreated step by step and finally collapsed completely.

The setting sun gradually set, dyeing the clouds in the sky red. After successfully repelling the Japanese army, Tang Li and his team decided to return to the village to visit the villagers and summarize and rest after the battle. Along the way, although the soldiers were tired, the joy of victory made everyone's face full of smiles.

"Everyone has worked hard. Have a good rest after returning to the village." Tang Li said to the team. There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, but more of satisfaction and pride.

"Captain Tang Li, this is a great victory!" a young soldier said excitedly, "Those devils never thought we would be so strong."

Tang Li smiled slightly and patted the young soldier on the shoulder. "Yes, but we can't let our guard down. The enemy may counterattack at any time. We have to keep working hard."

Zhao Gang, who was walking beside Tang Li, nodded in agreement. "Although we have won this time, our mission is not over yet. We must hurry up to recover and prepare for the next battle."

As the team gradually approached the village, cheers from the villagers could be heard in the distance. The villagers had already heard the news of the Eighth Route Army's triumphant return and came out to greet them. Tang Li looked at these simple faces and felt a sense of warmth and responsibility in his heart.

"Fellow villagers, we are back!" Tang Li shouted loudly.

"Uncle Tang Li, you won!" A little girl ran over cheering and hugged Tang Li's legs tightly.

Tang Li bent down and gently picked up the little girl. "Yes, we have defeated the enemy. The villagers can rest assured."

The villagers gathered around and expressed their gratitude excitedly. An elderly man walked up to Tang Li with tears in his eyes, "Captain Tang Li, thanks to you, the village is safe. Thank you!"

"This is what we should do." Tang Li replied with a smile, "As long as we are here, there is nothing to worry about."

"Everyone, prepare dinner quickly and let our hero have a good meal!" the village chief shouted excitedly.

The villagers started to get busy, and soon, delicious food was placed on the simple table. Tang Li and his soldiers sat together, enjoying this rare warm moment.

"Come, Tang Li, have some meat. This is specially prepared for you by the villagers." Zhao Gang picked up a plate of meat and handed it to Tang Li.

Tang Li took the meat and said with emotion: "Thank you everyone, you have all worked hard during this period. Our victory today is inseparable from your support."

"Uncle Tang Li, you eat too." The little girl handed over a piece of watermelon with a smile.

Tang Li took the watermelon and said with a smile: "Thank you, little sister. Your smiles are our greatest motivation."

As the night deepened, Tang Li and Zhao Gang talked about the next plan by the campfire. The soldiers sat around the campfire and listened to the discussion between the two commanders.

"Zhao Gang, what should we do next?" Tang Li asked.

"According to the latest intelligence obtained from reconnaissance, the Japanese army has an important material warehouse in the southeast direction. If we can destroy that warehouse, the enemy's logistics supply will be severely hit." Zhao Gang replied.

"This is indeed a good opportunity, but we must act with caution. The enemy will definitely strengthen their defenses." Tang Li pondered for a moment and continued, "We need detailed reconnaissance and a careful plan."

"I will lead the team to conduct reconnaissance tomorrow and make sure to find out the enemy's deployment situation." Zhao Gang said with a firm look.

"Okay, then we'll act according to the plan." Tang Li nodded, "Remember, you must be careful."

In the following days, Tang Li and Zhao Gang led the team to conduct continuous reconnaissance and preparation. Every night, they would discuss tactics and make detailed battle plans by the village campfire. Although the villagers did not know the specific actions, they were full of trust in the Eighth Route Army. They prepared food carefully every day and tried their best to support these heroes who defended their country.

One evening, Zhao Gang returned with his reconnaissance team, with a triumphant smile on his face, "Tang Li, we have figured out the enemy's deployment. The warehouse is heavily guarded, but we found a hidden path that can avoid most of the sentries."

"Great!" Tang Li said excitedly, "We must seize this opportunity to completely destroy the enemy's material warehouse."

"No problem, I have already arranged it. We will take action tomorrow night." Zhao Gang said.

As night fell, Tang Li and his team quietly set out and headed for the enemy's material warehouse. Along the way, they were careful to avoid enemy patrols and finally approached the warehouse.

"Everyone be careful, the enemy's warehouse is ahead." Tang Li reminded in a low voice.

The soldiers held their breath, gripped their weapons tightly, and were ready to act at any time. Tang Li gestured for everyone to disperse and prepare for a surprise attack.

"Zhao Gang, you lead the men to encircle from the left wing, and I will lead the main force to attack from the front." Tang Li instructed in a low voice.

Zhao Gang nodded and led several soldiers to quickly go around the left wing of the warehouse. Tang Li led the main force and quietly approached the front defense line of the warehouse.

"Open fire!" Tang Li gave an order, and the mortars and machine guns roared at the same time, and bullets poured down on the enemy's defense line like raindrops.

"Charge!" Zhao Gang shouted, leading the assault team to attack from the left wing. The enemy was caught off guard and immediately fell into chaos.

After returning to the village, Tang Li and his team were warmly welcomed by the villagers. The villagers prepared a sumptuous meal for them, and everyone sat together around the bonfire to celebrate the victory.

Tang Li led his soldiers and fellow villagers along the village field path. The air was filled with the scent of soil and grass. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, creating mottled shadows. On this day, they decided to find the cows and livestock that were lost in the war.

"Uncle Tang Li, can we really find those cows?" A little boy pulled Tang Li's clothes, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Don't worry, kid. We will definitely find them." Tang Li answered gently, with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that these livestock were very important to the lives of the villagers.

Zhao Gang walked up to Tang Li and whispered, "According to the reconnaissance team's report, the cows and livestock should be in the valley behind the village. Few people usually go there, so it should be relatively safe."

"Okay, let's divide into several groups and search carefully, leaving no corner untouched." Tang Li nodded and agreed with Zhao Gang's suggestion.

The villagers and soldiers divided into several groups and began to search for the lost cows and livestock in the valley. They carefully checked every corner and called out from time to time.

"Moo--" A low mooing of a cow came from a distance, instantly perking up everyone's spirits.

"Did you hear that? There are cows over there!" a soldier shouted excitedly.

Tang Li led everyone to run quickly in the direction of the sound. After passing through a dense forest, they finally saw the long-lost cows and other livestock. The cows were grazing leisurely, and when they saw the familiar figure, they made a low cry, as if responding to people's call.

"Found it! Found it!" The villagers cheered excitedly, and some even shed tears of excitement.

"Everyone be careful, approach slowly and don't scare them." Tang Li reminded.

The villagers approached the cows and livestock cautiously, and the familiar smell quickly calmed the animals. A little girl ran up and hugged a cow's neck tightly, and the cow rubbed her face with its head docilely.

"Cow, you're finally back." The little girl was in tears, but she was crying with joy.

"That's great, Uncle Tang Li, these dairy cows are our treasures." The village chief said with emotion.

"Yes, these livestock are very important to everyone." Tang Li watched the scene with a smile, feeling warm and satisfied in his heart.

Zhao Gang looked at the scene and sighed, "Tang Li, we are not just fighting, we are also protecting these innocent lives and hopes."

"That's right, Zhao Gang. We fight not only for victory, but also to allow these villagers to live a peaceful life." Tang Li nodded deeply, "This is our responsibility."

After finding the cows and livestock, Tang Li and Zhao Gang led everyone to bring them back to the village. The villagers built new sheds for the cows and livestock and began to prepare food and water to ensure that they received the best care.

"Commander Tang Li, today is a great day. We finally got our cows and livestock back." An old farmer said excitedly, "Without you, the Eighth Route Army, we really don't know what we would do."

"This is what we should do. The support of our fellow villagers is our greatest motivation." Tang Li replied with a smile.

That night, the bonfire in the village was lit again. Everyone sat together and shared their experiences and stories during this period. Tang Li and Zhao Gang discussed the next plan with the villagers beside the bonfire.

"Captain Tang Li, although we have recovered the cows and livestock, the Japanese army may counterattack at any time. We need to be prepared for defense." The village chief expressed his concerns.

"That's right, village chief." Tang Li nodded, "We will strengthen the defense to ensure the safety of the village. In addition, we also need to organize a militia team so that the villagers can learn some basic defense skills."
