Chapter 1 Encounter with the Japanese during World War II (I)

Something seems a bit off. Zheng Xiao's thick eyebrows furrowed, sensing that something was not quite right

"Captain, I said this unit is dressed in World War II Japanese military uniforms, carrying Type 38 rifles, and wearing aluminum steel helmets, which are entirely the attire of World War II Japanese infantry"

When he steadied himself and looked beside him, he was instantly stunned

This gave Zheng Xiao a feeling as if he had arrived at a vegetable market

A series of ochre figures surged in from outside the position, their bayonets glinting with a chilling white light under the sunlight. The faces, smeared with blood and dirt, bore the grim expressions characteristic of those in war, appearing somewhat distorted.

The attire of Japanese soldiers during World War II is quite amusing!

With Zheng Xiao at the helm, the team members calmed down and began to assemble online under the guidance of their respective team leaders.

Where is this by oneself

Second Platoon, First Squad, assemble

Raise the bayonet high, and then thrust it down!

Zheng Xiao quietly concealed himself behind a tree, then raised his binoculars and carefully looked across to the other side

Each squad shall activate their respective channels, assemble, and report the numbers in five minutes! Zheng Xiao suppressed his anger directed at m.hetushu.com, and spoke in a low voice.

The crackling sound from the intercom indicated that there was absolutely no signal on the special operations headquarters channel, and even the satellite positioning device showed a complete blank, indicating that this area was a blind spot

No signal, no signal, damn it, still no signal

The sky was filled with smoke, so thick that it seemed to obscure the sun. Beneath the rising flames of war, the sound of gunfire echoed through the heavens and the earth like popping beans. The battlefield was strewn with fallen bodies, their forms still tightly gripping their weapons beneath tattered military uniforms, maintaining the posture of battle from before.

The weapons are intact, the ammunition is also available, and the other personal supplies are all in good condition. This reassured Zheng Xiao somewhat; with these items, he is confident that he could survive in this jungle for a month without any issues

"What, what did you say?" Zheng Xiao thought he had misheard and couldn't help but ask again, "Please say it again."

Oh! Zheng Xiao's brows twitched slightly

Second Platoon, First Squad, assemble

Then let's try to contact others. Unable to access m.hetushu.com, Zheng Xiao had no choice but to switch the frequency to the encrypted channel designated for the special operations team

... ...

Zheng Xiao fell silent; he did not know what was going on

Awakening from a nightmare, Zheng Xiao instinctively reached for the automatic rifle beside him and then stood up from the ground

"Look closely, is it a certain production team filming a TV drama?" Zheng Xiao took a deep breath and then said in a low voice.

Ah—

This is a method of preparation implemented by Zheng Xiao since he took on the role of team leader, allowing for the fastest possible assembly through the intercom, even when individuals are not physically present.

The attire of these individuals and the weapons they hold are identical to the intelligence received from the special forces, all of which are indeed equipment used by the Japanese army during World War II

However, he now finds himself in the midst of a vast jungle, with no sign of anyone else around except for his own combat equipment

The gunfire suddenly ceased

Things seem to have become complicated

Zheng Xiao let out a loud roar, then turned over and sprang up, the cold sweat on his head flowing down like spring water

Standing in place, Zheng Xiao tried all the backup channels, yet he still could not establish contact with the Special Operations Headquarters and the *Tu* *Shu* Department, which deepened his concerns.

The more Zheng Xiaoyue listened, the tighter his brows furrowed, and the heavier his worries became

There was a moment of silence, and then He Ming's assured voice came through, "Captain, they are not actors; these individuals are veterans who have been on the battlefield, true soldiers"

The Longya Special Operations Brigade has a total of three companies and nine special operations teams under its direct command. Each special operations team consists of fifty personnel; however, the number of those who are actually assembled is quite limited, and the remaining members have shown no response at all

At that moment, a faint rustling sound came from ahead, suggesting that an animal was moving through the jungle, seemingly in the direction of oneself

At this, the channel fell silent, and everyone perked up their ears, waiting for the captain's next command

On the other end of the intercom, He Ming was crouched under a tree, holding a pair of binoculars, intently observing a small unit several dozen meters to his left front. He then swallowed hard and said, "I see they are equipped with Japanese Type 38 rifles, as well as a complete set of infantry gear from World War II"

Zheng Xiao did not know what he had seen, feeling anxious in his heart, he pressed on and asked, "He Ming, what did you see"

Previously, the Ninth Special Operations Brigade, to which Zheng Xiao belonged, was participating in a special operations exercise jointly held by the ten military districts in a desert area. He was leading the Longya Special Forces Team, directly under the brigade headquarters, as they maneuvered behind the Blue Army, heading straight for the enemy's command post, and they were just about to reach their target.

Zheng Xiao activated the intercom and satellite positioning device, preparing to contact the Special Operations Command to clarify what exactly was happening.

However, it is quite strange that there is now a situation with no signal

After all the personnel statistics were compiled, Zheng Xiao discovered that only about twenty individuals could be contacted. Moreover, according to the reports from the team members, these individuals were not gathered in one location but were scattered within a radius of three to four kilometers in the surrounding forest. The furthest few team members had reached a hollow located seven to eight kilometers away.

What exactly happened? Zheng Xiao was filled with confusion as he checked his equipment.

In the green viewfinder of the night vision binoculars, a troop appeared, consisting of seven or eight members, advancing in a jungle search formation towards my direction

In the communication channel, there are at least dozens of people, and the team members seem to have encountered issues with hetushu.com. Each one is urgently recounting something, but due to the large number of people, the voices are mixed together, making it impossible to hear what is being said.

A surge of anger suddenly rose from the depths of Zheng Xiao's heart, and he let out a furious roar, "Everyone, be quiet!"

First Squad of the First Platoon, assemble

Third Squad, First Team, assemble

"Captain, I have spotted a unit at ten o'clock ahead!" He Ming, the only company commander who was in contact, suddenly spoke up, "There are nine personnel, infantry, equipped—" At this point, his words were abruptly cut off

In less than three minutes, all teams had gathered and reported their statistics.

What exactly is going on, what has happened

Due to the presence of communication satellites distributed throughout space, as long as one is within the exercise area, there will be no blind spots, even if you are deep in the mountains of Shennongjia

At this moment, reports began to come in through the channel, and other team members gradually discovered Japanese soldiers dressed in the same attire.

As soon as the call was connected, the cacophony in the channel, reminiscent of a boiling pot, made his ears twitch slightly, prompting him to instinctively lower the volume by a few decibels

Now, it is Zheng Xiaofaleng's turn
