Wu Qianli was so hungry that he was exhausted, but fortunately, Bu Renming had some potatoes left over to satisfy his hunger. On the other hand, Mei Sheng rested in place, and Pinghe hoped that after completing the task, Mei Sheng could help him revise the application for joining the party. Although Yu Congrong is relatively young, he is already an old party member. Lei Daguo promised to accompany him back to Wuhan to find his relatives after the war is over.
Yu Congrong's family was in Wuhan. First, they experienced burning, killing and looting by the Japanese devils. Later, the Kuomintang fled the city one after another and deliberately set fire to the city. As a result, many families were torn apart and relatives were forced to separate. This incident is a painful memory for Yu Congrong, and it is even more embarrassing for Lei Daguo and the others. The Kuomintang is also a Chinese, but they are going to betray and harm their compatriots.
Although Bu resigned his fate to find the way to Xinxingli, the mountain road was steep and the climbing process was very difficult. Several times, some people slipped and almost fell. Soon Wu Qianli and the others followed the footprints to find Mei Sheng's team, and the two teams reunited smoothly. There was no time to waste time reminiscing about the past, and they had to hurry on their way.
Due to the high altitude of the snow-capped mountains and the presence of enemy planes patrolling nearby, the entire Seventh Company had to trot forward. The U.S. reconnaissance plane found the seventh company marching and carried out bombing. Wu Wanli and the snow-blind soldiers who were connected with ropes accidentally fell off the cliff. The people in the seventh company struggled to pull their comrades up, but the soldiers at the bottom cut the rope voluntarily. , In exchange for the safety of the company with his own life.
After this incident, Lei Daguo and Bu Renming suggested to rest for one night before going down the mountain, otherwise everyone's health would be too much for them. That night, Wu Wanli sat beside him in a daze, all he could think about was the death of his comrades-in-arms. Lei Daguo and Yu Congrong told him about Wu Qianli's meritorious deeds, and Pinghe was more concerned about handing over dry food and warm scarves.
Wu Wanli was deeply shocked by the words of his comrades-in-arms, and he also wanted to make contributions like his elder brother and second brother. In the early morning of the next day, Wu Wanli quietly left the team to look for opportunities to make contributions while everyone was still resting. Because Wu Wanli left the team without authorization again, Wu Qianli was very angry, and took Bu Renming to look for Wu Wanli and the way down the mountain by the way.
During this period, Wu Wanli and Bu Renming found their comrades who had been frozen to death, and felt very uncomfortable. Suddenly they heard bursts of artillery fire and rushed over immediately. At this time, the Fifth Company was fighting fiercely with the U.S. Army, and Liu Liushun ordered Da Zhuang to lead a group around and attack the U.S. Army. However, the combat equipment of the U.S. military was too strong, and many soldiers from the Fifth Company were sacrificed until Wu Qianli and Bu Renming appeared and completely killed the remaining U.S. troops, temporarily resolving the current crisis.
The two didn't find Wu Wanli in the small town, but met Liu Liushun, and learned that they were all exposed and besieged by the US military. As the commander of the company, Liu Liushun felt uncomfortable. He didn't protect everyone well, and he had sacrificed so much before arriving at the battle site. The last hope was pinned on the Qi Company.
Wu Qianli was worried that the U.S. military would have to come over later, so he told Bu Renming to go back and inform Mei Sheng that they should go down the mountain as soon as possible. Bu Renming climbed back with difficulty against the cold wind and heavy snow. Mei Sheng's team noticed that the U.S. military was throwing marker bombs and signal flares to the vicinity one after another, and prepared to go down the mountain immediately. After all, their task was to reach Xinxingli before tomorrow. However, in order to ensure everyone's safety, Pinghe asked him to go ahead to explore the road first, but he met Bu who was climbing the snow mountain and accepted his fate.
