Chapter 146 War and Hope 3
"Your name is Shuanzhu, and your wife's name is Zhao Sanya! You and your wife have two daughters and one son. Your eldest daughter is 11 years old this year, and you have a pair of four-year-old twins, a boy and a girl?"
Shuanzhu, who had been acting like an idiot, seemed to have some reaction when he heard the officer in front of him describing the situation of his family in detail.
He turned his head and looked at the officer in front of him, and there was finally a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"We met three children in Changping. They claimed to be locals and had been hiding in the ruins of a bombed house. They said their father was captured by the Japanese and became a puppet soldier." The officer narrated the situation in a calm tone.
"Mother died in the bombing when the Japanese destroyed the city. Now I can't confirm whether these three children are yours, so I hope you can cooperate and tell me the names of the twins?" The officer looked at Li Shuanzhu with a hint of doubt and expectation in his eyes.
"We searched the entire area and found 28 people named Li Shuanzhu. We finally found this place!" the officer continued, his voice revealing a hint of fatigue, but more of determination in the result of the search.
The officer recounted what happened! However, to Li Shuanzhui, these words seemed to be the most beautiful words in the world.
His eyes widened, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes and slid down his cheeks.
"My children...are they still alive?" Li Shuanzhu asked tremblingly, his voice full of excitement and anticipation.
The officer nodded: "Yes, they are still alive, but there are some problems with their physical condition. They need treatment and care, but there is no danger to their lives!"
Li Shuanzhu's heart seemed to be about to jump out, and he could not express his inner joy and gratitude in words. He held the officer's hand tightly, tears flashing in his eyes, and thanked him repeatedly.
"My son's name is Li Xiaozhu, and my little girl's name is Li Xiaohua! Did you hear that, mother? The children are still alive. If you are in heaven, please bless these children!"
"what!"
The man howled toward the sky, as if roaring out all the despair and decadence in his heart.
After this roar, the man's whole spirit and spirit were different. He had lost hope, but when he heard that his children were still alive, his responsibility as a father made him find hope in life again.
"Thank you! Thank you!" The man shed tears and held the officer's hands tightly.
The officer patted Li Shuanzhu on the shoulder and consoled him, "You're welcome. This is what we should do. As long as the children are safe, everything is worth it."
"You should thank Commander Wang, he saved your child!"
Li Shuanzhu was moved to tears. He knew that without this kind-hearted officer, he might never find his children.
There is also the army group commander mentioned by the officer. I believe that everyone knows the name of that commander. Shuanzhu secretly made up his mind to repay this kindness.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the window onto the ground. Shuanzhu had not slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot and he was exhausted.
He sat quietly by the bed, waiting for the moment that made him worried.
Finally, the door opened and a small figure appeared at the door. It was Shuanzhu's eldest daughter. Her face was covered with dust and sweat. She looked very tired, but there was a determination in her eyes.
"Dad!" The eldest daughter cried and threw herself into Shuanzhu's arms, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.
Shuanzhu hugged her tightly, feeling her warm body temperature, his heart filled with joy and emotion.
They hugged each other and cried, as if they wanted to turn all their thoughts and worries into tears.
"Daya, you have suffered..." Shuanzhu said softly, stroking his eldest daughter's hair.
The eldest daughter raised her head and looked at Shuanzhu, her eyes full of grievance and pain.
She told Shuanzhu that she had been trying hard to find food and water these days just to feed her younger brothers and sisters, and had experienced many difficulties and dangers.
But she never gave up because she knew her father must be looking for her too.
Shuanzhu listened to his eldest daughter's story with heartache, and tears blurred his eyes again.
He felt that his eldest daughter had become strong and brave, and all this was given to her by the hardships of life.
They hugged each other, enjoying the joy of reunion, but also felt deeply moved. This reunion made them cherish each other more and understand the preciousness of life and the importance of family affection.
The young nurse and a group of wounded soldiers nearby all burst into tears when they saw this scene, and everyone was happy for Shuanzhu's family.
"Where are my younger brothers and sisters? Why don't they come?" Shuanzhu was still struggling to control his emotions when he realized that his youngest son and daughter didn't come.
"Dad! My brother and sister are still receiving treatment in the hospital. The nurse said they need to rest for a few days. It's best not to travel far these days!"
While speaking, the girl's eyes were looking at her father's injured leg, where the bones were damaged by shell fragments and he was still recovering after surgery.
Feeling the girl's rough little hands caressing his injured leg, Shuanzhu could tell from those rough little hands what kind of life he had experienced in the past few days.
He seemed to see a thin little girl, braving the hail of bullets and searching for anything edible and useful in the ruins.
Just to keep his younger brothers and sisters alive, he waited in that dilapidated courtyard for his father to return and find them.
Shuanzhu couldn't help but shed tears, which dripped onto his daughter's hair.
He knew he had let down his family, his children and his wife.
He was unable to protect his family and even lost a leg in the war.
But he vowed to work hard to recover, take good care of his family and make up for his past mistakes.
"Big girl! You've suffered so much! Daddy is sorry for you and your mother!" Shuanzhu said with tears streaming down his face, his heart full of self-blame and guilt.
He felt that he was a complete failure as a father. Not only did he fail to provide a good living environment for his wife and children, but he also made them suffer with him.
He thought of every little detail of the past, all those good times that were now just memories.
He knew that he had to take responsibility for his family and could not let his wife and children continue to live such a difficult life.
So he hugged his daughter tightly in his arms again, feeling her warmth and strength.
He told himself that he must work hard to create a happy future for his family.
He secretly vowed that he would never let them suffer any injustice again.
Shuanzhu was determined to pick himself up again. He was willing to pay any price for his family and the people he loved.
In the summer, neither China nor Japan was willing to initiate a large-scale war, and both sides were accumulating strength.
However, as the commander of the Japanese China Expeditionary Army, General Okamura Yasuji did not have an easy life.
Although the fighting on the southern front some time ago allowed the Japanese army to defeat the 200,000 troops of the First War Zone with only tens of thousands of troops.
However, the Japanese army also suffered a disastrous defeat in North China and Mengjiang, especially in the Mengjiang Campaign, where the entire grassland was controlled by the Japanese army.
Basically going north along Zhangjiakou, the entire area was seized by the Chinese, and now only the area near Manchukuo is still in the hands of Japan.
The Imperial Headquarters and the Heavenly Locusts were very dissatisfied with the war on the Chinese battlefield. Prince Higashinaka Naruhiko, who had long since stopped caring about worldly affairs, went to North China again to supervise the development of the war.
