Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

The cold wind was howling, the snow on the ground had not yet melted, and heavy snow fell from the sky again, covering everything.

Cheng Hao dragged his weak body forward in the cold wind. The wounds on his body had not yet fully healed, and every step he took was extremely painful.

"hu~hu~"

After walking for a while, Cheng Hao felt sleepy and could not walk any further. He could only make a snow cave under a nearby tree and wrapped his body tightly with several captured American military coats. Then he could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Hao woke up. The moment he pushed open the snow nest, the soft sunlight shone on his face, making his pale face more lively. He moved his body, his movements were very smooth, without any delay, it seemed that all his injuries had recovered.

"Finally survived."

Cheng Hao felt very fortunate that he had used up two bottles of primary healing potions before to maintain his body's condition, otherwise he might have fallen into eternal sleep and would not have been able to wake up.

Stretching lazily and breathing in the fresh air after the snow, Cheng Hao felt refreshed.

The heavy snow covered all traces of the war and buried everything deeply, leaving only a vast expanse of white on the earth, as if the bloody battle a few days ago had never happened.

Without having time to marvel at the power of nature, Cheng Hao ate some brown sugar and snow, and after recovering a little strength, he set out on his journey home.

When he opened the system panel, Cheng Hao realized that he had slept for seven whole days.

Such a long time has passed, and I don’t know how my comrades are doing.

Cheng Hao allocated attribute points evenly to speed and endurance, and ran non-stop towards the 702nd Regiment’s base.

……

At the 702 regiment's base, in the kitchen squad, He Yuzhu could no longer conceal his inner sorrow as he faced squad leader Hao who had just returned from his injuries, and his tears could not stop falling.

"Woo~woo~woo~

Squad leader, Brother Hao sacrificed himself. He is dead!"

Squad leader Hao's face darkened. When he returned to the kitchen, he guessed a possibility when he didn't see Cheng Hao, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Unexpectedly, the young man he was optimistic about died in the battle.

"Pillar, what's going on?"

No matter what, Squad Leader Hao wanted to understand what happened first so that he could take care of Cheng Hao's funeral.

"Brother Hao was assigned to the 7th Company to carry out a mission a few days ago, and he never came back.

Today, someone from the regiment headquarters told me that all the men in the 7th Company have been killed in action!"

He Yuzhu wiped his tears and said sadly.

The two joined the army together. Cheng Hao took good care of He Yuzhu on the battlefield and saved his life more than once. Now that Cheng Hao died in battle, He Yuzhu was extremely sad and could not control himself.

"Has his body been found?"

Captain Hao is very experienced. The situation on the battlefield is very complicated, and it is possible that someone was killed in the battle by mistake. You must have solid evidence to determine a person's life or death.

"No.

Many bodies on the front line were blown to pieces and burned, making them impossible to identify.

But there is no one alive in the Seventh Company, he..."

He Yuzhu cried even more sadly when she thought that Cheng Hao's body was gone and she couldn't even take him back for a proper burial.

"Zhu Zi, don't be sad.

Since the body was not found, maybe he is still alive.

Does he have any relatives at home?

The first two sentences of squad leader Hao were consoling, and the last sentence got to the point.

After many years of military service, Squad Leader Hao knew that dying on the battlefield and becoming a martyr was not the worst outcome.

In the worst case, after a person dies, it is impossible to determine whether he or she has died in action, and they can only be treated as missing persons. They cannot even get the compensation and honor of a martyr.

That is the saddest thing.

"His parents died young, and he is alone. He doesn't have many relatives in Beijing."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said with a sad face.

"Hi……"

After understanding the situation, Squad Leader Hao could no longer suppress his sadness.

If there is no one in the family, if they cannot be recognized as martyrs, they will not even have incense and worship after death, and will soon be forgotten by the world, which is the complete destruction. Unfortunately, Cheng Hao happens to be one of them.

Before the two people in the kitchen team could grieve for too long, the news of the regiment's departure was announced.

The 702nd Regiment suffered heavy casualties after a series of hard battles, making it difficult to maintain its organization and ensure its combat effectiveness, so it had to move to the rear for rest and reorganization.

He Yuzhu was shocked when he received the order. He muttered with a dull look in his eyes, "No, if we leave, what if Brother Hao is still alive?"

"Zhu Zi, don't worry, we won this battle.

The enemy has been driven back to the south, and the entire surrounding area is under our control.

As long as Cheng Hao is still alive, he will be found by friendly forces soon and then join us.

Let's retreat to the back and wait for him."

After paying such heavy casualties, the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces successfully recaptured Pyongyang and drove the US-led United Nations forces to the vicinity of the 38th parallel.

The second battle was basically over and ended with the victory of the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces.

"Ok."

There was no point in staying where he was, so He Yuzhu could only obey the arrangements and retreat to the rear with the main force.

……

After leaving the forest, Cheng Hao took off the American soldier's coat and put it into the space.

After the battle, the area around Changjin Lake was controlled by the Volunteer Army. Wearing enemy uniforms would cause the risk of being accidentally injured by friendly forces. Cheng Hao didn't want to fall into such a stupid thing.

After running all the way back to the position of the 642nd Regiment, Cheng Hao found that the place was deserted.

Seven days is enough time to do a lot of things. They had already cleaned up the battlefield and the entire army retreated.

Not finding anyone, Cheng Hao had to go back to the 702nd Regiment’s base to check, but as expected, there was no one there either.

There was no other choice but for Cheng Hao to search all the way north. After running for more than a hundred miles, he encountered a volunteer army unit and learned the whereabouts of the 702nd Regiment from them.

After learning about Cheng Hao's situation, the superior immediately sent someone to verify the situation.

"Comrade Cheng Hao, thank you for your hard work!"

The special envoy found Cheng Hao in the temporary residence. He first asked about his well-being and then talked about Cheng Hao's disappearance and falling behind.

“I want to get some information from you.

At that time, you were sent to support the 642nd Regiment and cooperate with..."

Before the special envoy could finish his words, Cheng Hao raised his hand to interrupt his questioning, and then took out a stack of enemy armbands from his coat, with a U.S. Army major's armband on top.

“A total of 23 American soldiers, including the major commander of the 3rd Battalion of the U.S. Army, have been completely wiped out.

This is the service gun of the commander of the US Third Battalion."

As he spoke, Cheng Hao took out an exquisite pistol from his waist, pressed it on the armband, and said no more.

Looking at the bloody armband and pistol on the table, everyone present was stunned, and then immediately stood up and saluted Cheng Hao.
