Soldier Uncle Yu crossed the path and rescued her to the communication trench, he prepared his machine gun, aimed at the enemy and started the fire. The little girl showed no fear and was occupied in giving the Uncle new cartridges. Afterwards, everybody called this small girl the 'second shooter'."
