Chapter 2: Discovering the Enemy Forces

Bao Da nodded slightly, turned around, and quickly ran away

The man with the big beard stared for a long time but saw nothing, looking at Liu Zhengfeng with confusion

Strangely, neither Liu Zhengfeng and his group moved, nor did the Japanese army.

Liu Zhengfeng ignored him and fixed his gaze firmly on Dr. Li

The reason the Japanese army has not yet launched an attack is likely because they have not yet grasped the strengths and weaknesses of their own side. If we do not seize this fleeting opportunity to seek assistance, by the time the Japanese army loses patience and stakes everything, it will be too late

There is no shadow of a ghost, did you perhaps see it incorrectly

Liu Zhengfeng took the lead, walking at the forefront, his back straight and upright. Compared to the hellish training of special forces, this little hardship is nothing at all

It is now afternoon, and the weather is hot

The field hospital is established in a valley, with dozens of tents densely arranged, stretching out into the distance. Doctors and nurses move busily among them, and intermittent cries of agony can be heard from within the tents

I apologize for the interruption

Liu Zhengfeng was a bit anxious; the battlefield hospital of his side was only two miles away. If these Japanese devils were to charge forward, the consequences would be unimaginable

A soldier named Du Ergou beside me said: "None of us saw the enemy, why should we believe you, a rookie who got scared and wet yourself at the sound of gunfire?"

Liu Zhengfeng pondered for a moment and understood that the Japanese army opposite him intended to launch a surprise attack, not wishing to engage in a confrontation with the Chinese troops. Their current inaction was likely a hope that Liu Zhengfeng would secretly slip away.

What nonsense are you talking about? Who is your Rong'er?

The big-bearded man and others were taken aback, quickly bending down and slowly crawling up, peering down the slope below.

Bao Dayou slowly crawled back a few steps, preparing to run towards the field hospital

What is even more bizarre is that their names are the same

A guard battalion has more than 500 personnel and is relatively well-equipped. The commander, upon hearing that the Japanese army consists of only 70 men, should not expect them to flee

Suddenly, a soldier named Bao Dayou gently called out: "Since it is like this, I will go and report the news"

Therefore, everyone naturally looks up to that bearded man as their leader

A large expanse of white bed sheets, gauze, and bandages is being dried on the hillside, swaying in the wind

The crowd packed their luggage and gradually exited the tent

Liu Zhengfeng, too lazy to engage in further conversation with him, took the lead and walked up to the mountain peak. A gust of mountain wind blew in, instantly refreshing him all over, bringing an immense sense of comfort

The entire valley was permeated with the scent of disinfectant and blood

The doctor before me, in every gesture and smile, bears an uncanny resemblance to my wife from a past life

The field hospital is located approximately ten to twenty miles from the front line, and if one walks quickly, it can be reached in about two hours

The crowd advanced along the path, making every effort to walk beneath the shade of the trees, avoiding the scorching sunlight

Do you not sense the murderous intent in the air

To put it mildly, the logistics support for our troops has been affected, and the wounded are unable to receive timely medical treatment

The big-bearded man hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No, falsely reporting military information will lead to a military court, unless I see with my own eyes that there are indeed Japanese devils."

I am willing to take full responsibility; if it is necessary to go to a military court, I will go.

To put it more seriously, this will severely impact the morale of our troops. Moreover, these Japanese devils have bypassed our front line defenses, posing a significant threat to our flanks.

At this moment, the five individuals accompanying Liu Zhengfeng are all soldiers from the same regiment as Liu Zhengfeng

Rong'er, Building 1, Unit 1, 19th Floor, Xinjing Xiaowan, Jinxiu District, Jiefang Road, do you still remember

"Hey, don't talk about these vague and abstract things. The front line is more than ten miles away from here. How could the Japanese devils be here?"

Upon reaching the summit, the exhilaration of standing at the pinnacle is truly refreshing and uplifting

I do not understand what you are saying

The slope on the opposite side is at a forty-five degree angle, with sparse trees and only some wild grass and low shrubs, allowing for a clear view in all directions

Liu Zhengfeng's expression was serious: "At the mountainside, approximately one hundred and fifty meters away, there are Japanese devils, the number is uncertain"

The sky is clear without a cloud in sight, and the scorching sun shines down without any遮掩.

The other soldiers exchanged knowing glances and chuckled softly

Li Rong noticed that Liu Zhengfeng's expression was tense, not resembling a joke, and immediately furrowed her brows

No matter how much Liu Zhengfeng tried to explain, the other five simply did not believe him. Liu Zhengfeng was on the verge of cursing under his breath, wondering how he ended up with such incompetent teammates

In the grass and bushes halfway up the mountain, flashes of blades could be seen, and one could vaguely discern patches of brownish military uniforms and caps, which were the standard military attire of the Japanese army

However, upon further reflection, it is not entirely their fault. These cunning devils are quite shrewd. They must have seen themselves just now, and now they have all shrunk back, indeed hiding very well. If it were not for my keen eyesight and preconceived notions, it would have been truly difficult to discover them.

Liu Zhengfeng was greatly disappointed and let out a soft sigh

Liu Zhengfeng said in a low voice to the bearded man: "Brother Squad Leader, I am afraid that we few cannot hold on. The field hospital has a guard battalion; we need to send someone back to report the situation."

Suddenly, Liu Zhengfeng's pupils constricted, and he abruptly fell to the ground, rolling over to the side of a large rock, quickly removing the Han Yang-made rifle from his body

The one with the highest position among them is the bearded man, who is a squad leader and belongs to the same company as Liu Zhengfeng

The bearded man looked at Liu Zhengfeng with a serious expression, showing no signs of joking, which made him begin to hesitate

However, she vehemently denied it, indicating that it was merely a product of my own overthinking

Since Liu Zhengfeng is willing to take full responsibility, no one else opposes it

Li Rong saw Liu Zhengfeng looking dejected and, for some unknown reason, felt a sudden pang of heartache

Liu Zhengfeng felt very anxious, as there were only a few people on his side, armed with only rifles and a limited number of grenades. If the Japanese army launched a strong attack, it was likely that they would be overwhelmed in a single charge

Glancing over, one could see Liu Zhengfeng lying on the ground, his body fully relaxed and focused, his gaze sharp as a knife. The bullet was already chambered, and his current demeanor was anything but that of a novice soldier, leaving one to marvel in silence.

The big-bearded man had a thought; he had occasionally heard some old soldiers mention the term "killing intent." How could this guy, who was so scared on the battlefield that he wet himself, understand this?

Everyone be careful, there is a situation

Young man, the weather is so hot, please walk a bit slower

The bearded man said in a low voice: "Kid, do you know what it means for a toad to want to eat swan meat? Don't indulge in wishful thinking."

Dr. Li shot a fierce glare at Liu Zhengfeng; her name was indeed Li Rong, but she did not know this big soldier in front of her

Once the Japanese army captures this peak, the route from here to the field hospital will be completely unobstructed, with no defenses to hold.

The big-bearded man shouted breathlessly, while inwardly muttering, this kid used to be as ragged as a wild dog during training, ranking almost last in physical fitness in the entire company. Today, I am exhausted like a wild dog, yet he appears completely unfazed, it truly feels like a ghost has appeared.

Liu Zhengfeng suddenly said: "Tell the commander of the guard battalion that the Japanese army has only a small squad, approximately seventy men."

Liu Zhengfeng said solemnly: "Isn't it quite normal for the enemy to be unable to break through our front line and thus take an alternative route to launch a surprise attack here?"

Liu Zhengfeng emphasized the number of Japanese troops because he was concerned that the commander of the guard battalion would flee at the mere mention of the Japanese army, as there were indeed many in the military at that time who were terrified by the Japanese forces
