War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 224 Wei Ran's Second Medal
When the intense white light faded, Wei Ran found that he had not returned to his home, but was still standing in Han Shoutian's yard.Different from before the white light appeared, this time it was already a bright and sunny day, and tables and chairs were placed in the renovated yard, and the tables were filled with special dishes of Baiyangdian.

And in the center of the courtyard, Han Shoutian, who was wearing a military uniform, was wearing a big red flower on his chest.Beside him stood a young female soldier who also wore a military uniform and a big red flower on her chest.

"Shoutian, you are really capable, you have been fighting all over the country for several years, and you even cheated a daughter-in-law back." Old Hammer, who had aged a lot, walked into the yard beaming, The two young men following him were also carrying two large poles that were also tied with big red flowers.

"I didn't lie to anyone!"

Han Shoutian blushed, and pointed to Zhou Hopu, who was standing beside him with a wine glass and smirking, "Brother Hopu is really amazing, not only did he trick Miss Cuilian into opening a clinic, but there are not many of them here. Yue, I'm going to be a father."

"Uncle Hammer, you came here for a wedding, why are you bringing two big poles here?" Zhou Houpu, who didn't want to get burned, quickly changed the subject, "Now that our new China has been established, there are no devils to beat us up!"

"Devil? The little devil of the dog day dares to come if his mother wants it, but these two things can still work!"

Uncle Hammer motioned for the two young men who came in to lift up the big sticks tied with red flowers, "You two don't know this old man? I'm going to give this pair of big sticks to Morita and the others As a gift, since I don’t know each other, come on, then I’ll let them carry it away!”

"Don't!" Han Shoutian hurriedly said, "How can you not know him!"

"The first time I beat the devil's steamboat, I used these two big poles!" Zhou Hopu sighed with nostalgia.

"yes"

Han Shoutian took over the topic, "Later you went to the investigation team, and Sanhai and I used these two big lifts. It's a pity, Sanhai didn't survive, obviously he only needs to persist for a few more years!"

The originally festive wedding scene was full of sadness. Uncle Zhou, who was wearing a new suit, hurriedly said, "No matter what happens, this battle is over. From now on, wow, we can all have a peaceful life!"

"Speaking of which, Morita, what do you plan to do when you change jobs?" Uncle Hammer also changed the subject and asked.

"It's a pity that I didn't learn the old uncle's medical skills, otherwise I could open a pharmacy like Hopu and his wife." Han Shoutian joked on the topic.

"As for your rough hands and feet, the animals in the field dare not come to you for medical treatment." Uncle Hammer's words immediately made the relatives and friends in the yard burst into laughter, "You boy, why don't you just follow me to forge iron?" , I happen to be short of an apprentice."

"Uncle Hammer, you're not here to have a wedding, are you here to accept apprentices?" Someone in the crowd yelled like a booing, and everyone burst into laughter immediately.

Outside the lively crowd, Wei Ran glanced at Han Shoutian and the heroic bride next to him, after all, he didn't go up to say hello to any of them, but silently raised the camera that he had been holding in his hand to the highest , and pressed the shutter on the lively wedding scene.

Amidst the crisp shutter sound, intense white light enveloped his field of vision again. When the white light faded for the second time, the field of vision returned to normal, and Wei Ran also returned to his home.

With a soft clattering sound, the metal book automatically turned to the corresponding page as always, and the metal quill pen wrote in dark red handwriting under the black and white photos of the two big sticks:

Gunshots in the Reeds

Zhou Houpu, as an investigator during the War of Resistance Against Japan, provided a lot of information to the Yanling Squad.After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the son inherited his father's job and became a rural barefoot doctor.

韩守田，于1941年8月正式加入雁翎队，1945年6月配合主力部队解放新安城后，于同年8月编入38团开赴津沽继续参加解放战争，并于1949年11月因身体原因转业。1951年8月，获华北解放纪念章。

In August 1963, Zhou Houpu and Han Shoutian rescued 8 children, [-] teachers and [-] old man who fell into the water during the catastrophic flood.

Xu Sanhai officially joined the Yanling team in August 1941 and partnered with Han Shoutian. In early October 8, due to the Japanese army digging rivers and releasing water to carry out bacterial warfare in southern Hebei and Luxi, Xu Sanhai was unfortunately infected with cholera and died while rescuing the breached embankment.

At this point, the metal quill listed the serial number of the medal that Han Shoutian obtained in black handwriting. Interestingly, at the end of the serial number of the medal, a sentence "hidden on the main beam of the main house" was added typeface.

At this point, the metal quill resumed its dark red handwriting and continued writing in a new line, "When a friend comes, there is good wine. If the jackal comes, he will be greeted with a shotgun."

Looking at the lyrics that every Chinese person knows, Wei Ran couldn't help but a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the melody that was almost engraved in his genes couldn't help echoing in his mind.

In the clattering pages, the metal quill continued to write under the red swirl on the back as if no one was there, "This big ship will surely carry us to victory and peace!"

To Wei Ran's surprise, just as he was about to see what was floating in the red vortex, the metal quill continued to draw on the blank page 12 again!

With the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper, a colorful pattern the size of a teacup appeared on the page. The main body of this pattern was a graveyard piled up with human heads. Each of those heads was wearing a steel helmet. Not only is the iconic plaster flag printed on the top helmet, but there are also two fart curtains that seem to be blown by the wind.

But on the top of the pile of heads like a Beijing view, there is an anti-Japanese sword that drips blood. Looking at the background of the main pattern, it is a silhouette of the Great Wall that is shrouded in gunpowder smoke and winds to the end among the mountains. .

When the drawing was completed, the metal quill pen wrote under the pattern without pause, "Junior Jingguan Medal: Awarded to the defenders who have killed more than 10 invaders with cold weapons."

When the metal quill fell to the floor with a clang, a red swirl appeared just below the Jingguan Medal, just like when he received the Junior Battlefield Angel Medal.

But this time, Wei Ran was not in a hurry to take out the contents of the vortex, but frowned at the newly-appeared medal.

Undoubtedly, the reporter who was sent back to Baiyangdian during the Anti-Japanese War was the only one who killed himself with cold weapons. Just that one devil.

In other words, I killed 9 devils in the defense of Teng County last time, and the so-called "accumulation" of this medal is not limited to the same battle?
After murmuring something in a low voice, Wei Ran stopped thinking about it, and reached into the red vortex under the medal, and pulled out the ups and downs inside.

Both expected and unexpected, what was placed here was indeed an anti-Japanese sword.However, compared to the ones used in Teng County and the two large knives in the background wall in the living room, the metal book that rewarded him was obviously much more refined.

Not only is this broadsword thick, but it is also covered with gorgeous patterns that can only be found in Damascus steel. Even the blade that acts as a gauntlet has been carefully carved into the appearance of some kind of fierce beast. As for the handle , it is especially handy to hold.

Putting the big knife that was destined to be difficult to use back into the red vortex, Wei Ran reached into the vortex on the previous page again.To his surprise, the contents inside still couldn't be taken out, which was a good sign.

Having had a few previous experiences, he immediately put his hand on the living room floor, retracted the metal book, and took out the things in the red vortex.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of "crash", a pot of green radishes placed on the balcony of the living room was overturned and knocked to the ground, and a wooden row boat also appeared in the large living room!
The length of this row of boats is nearly three meters, and the width is at most eighty or ninety centimeters. Not only are there two wooden paddles fixed on the side of the boat, but also a wrist-thick bamboo pole with a length of seven or eight meters is fixed on the edge. One end of the bamboo pole is the murderer who overturned the pot of green radishes.

Wei Ran woke up from the astonishment, then squatted down dumbfounded, and looked at the exquisitely crafted boat.He really didn't expect to get a boat this time.

Compared with the boat supported by Zhou Houpu back then, although the shape and details of this one are similar, the workmanship is extraordinarily exquisite. Not only is the whole body brushed with thick tung oil, but even the center of the bamboo pole and the handle of the oar are wrapped with thick strips of cloth.The only thing that makes him feel a little regretful is that there is no big lift on it.

Looking around, Wei Ran reached out and picked up a sofa pillow and TV remote control and threw them into the cabin, and then tried to put the small boat into the metal book.Unfortunately, although the boat was retrieved smoothly, the bulging sofa pillows and the remote control were left on the floor.

And the film in the food box!Wei Ran summoned the food box without giving up, but to his great disappointment, the films that were put in at the beginning could not be brought back at all.

I believe in your evil!
Wei Ran continued to take things out of the metal book, this time he took out the Rollei DSLR.When Han Shoutian changed the film for the devil camera at Han Shoutian's house, he not only changed the film for this camera, but also stuffed a spare roll into the horse fur camera case with the gold assault badge. film.Somewhat comfortingly, the two boxes of film were successfully brought back.

Next is the f*cking absentee anti-tank gun!Wei Ran put away the camera, gritted his teeth and continued to take things out.

However, after all the inspections, he didn't see the reason. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and look at the tattoo on the tiger's mouth on his left hand, then put away the anti-tank gun, got up and walked to the study room with excellent sound insulation, He took out the Guqin Yaoguang from the metal book and placed it on the piano table prepared by Suisui.

Not long after, a murderous Guangling San came out from the half-closed door, taking away the melancholy in Wei Ran's heart by the way.

　Sorry, I'm relenting.

　　At the beginning of this story, I wanted to write it as hard and tragic as it should be.What I want to write is the germ warfare that the character Sankai encountered when he died.

　　But in the end, I still relented. The story of Teng County last time, what should have been presented has already appeared. This time, I think we should make victory easier and let those veterans have a better ending.

　　At last,
　　The prototype of the story was born out of the historical facts that happened around July 1941, 7. The plot of the story has some changes and deletions compared with the historical truth, and it is quite different from the historical facts.

　　There are no corresponding prototypes for the characters in the story. If there are duplicate names, it is purely coincidental. If there is any inappropriateness, please correct me. At the same time, I hope to forgive you.
