Chapter 3 has truly crossed over
Since he has arrived in this era, if he cannot escape it, Zheng Xiao is prepared to face it. After all, he is a soldier, and bearing arms and fighting is his duty. Moreover, fighting against the Japanese invaders is even more of an obligation.
Two individuals sat down to exchange information while discussing what should be done next
A dozen soldiers walked in from the entrance of the valley, led by a tall figure dressed in special forces attire. He carried a squad-level general-purpose machine gun on his back, along with a large ammunition box, which appeared to be quite heavy.
They have crossed over; these people have actually crossed over! When this conclusion was first reached, many thought it was a joke or that they were just dreaming.
The warriors did not persuade him, as everyone knew that any attempt at consolation would be futile; they could only watch him sink into despair. Before this exercise, Captain He had just introduced his girlfriend of ten years to their parents, finalizing plans to marry after the exercise. Unexpectedly, this exercise resulted in a separation that felt like a chasm between them.
"Goodness, could it really be a ghost?" Yang Gang muttered to himself, scratching his head in confusion.
After receiving this message, Captain He He of the Tu Shu Ming squad stood in silence for quite a while, dazed. It was only after several minutes that he took a deep breath and waved his hand, saying, "Go set up the guard."
They indeed traveled back to China in the year 1933
If they wish to enhance their self-defense capabilities, they should concentrate their strength and act together, as this is the only way to maximize their combat effectiveness
The large man who came in spoke with a strong northeastern accent. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice, "Old He, has the captain arrived yet?"
Currently, most of the members of the two-person squad have disappeared, and only about forty to fifty personnel have gathered together, while the logistical supplies have completely vanished.
While two individuals were discussing matters, He Ming's walkie-talkie rang. Upon answering, he realized it was Zheng Xiao, and he quickly stood up, saying, "Captain, where are you now"
"Alright, once the brothers have gathered, we will strike at Tokyo. " Zheng Xiao clenched his fists, filled with determination, "What was inflicted upon the Chinese people back then must be repaid a hundredfold, a thousandfold."
After shutting off the intercom, Zheng Xiao redirected his gaze towards the enemy command post not far away
Upon seeing the newcomer, He Ming could not help but smile and exclaimed, "Old Yang, you have come!"
He Ming was also unable to clarify the situation, thus he could only remain silent
The two individuals exchanged glances, both at a loss regarding the captain, who alone had the audacity to approach the enemy's command post.
This tall individual is also one of the squad leaders of the Dragon Tooth Special Forces, named Yang Gang. He was once in the same team as He Ming, serving as the heavy weapons operator in the squad. He is very honest and has a good relationship with He Ming. When He Ming heard him mention Zheng Xiao, his expression darkened, and he shook his head, saying, "Not yet, he hasn't arrived."
However, there is no way to proceed now; they do not know where the captain is. Moreover, they still need to gather the scattered soldiers here, so they can only calm themselves and wait.
In 1933, the Japanese had already occupied Northeast China, and the puppet state of Manchukuo had been established, yet the nationwide anti-Japanese movement had not yet gained momentum
From the scale, this should be a command post at the level of a squadron leader among the enemy forces. The enemy officers inside are likely just lieutenants or captains, holding relatively low ranks.
With a shout, the soldiers all stood up and moved towards the entrance of the mountain hollow
By now, Zheng Xiao has basically acknowledged the occurrence of time travel, so he began to contemplate how to respond moving forward
The urgent task at hand is to gather the scattered team members together, forming a united force, so that we can exert a greater impact.
Everyone's mood is extremely heavy, and there is little desire to speak, as recent events have left them feeling as if they are in a dream
People are all waiting, waiting for the arrival of the captain. With him, there is a backbone in the hearts of the people, and when the time comes, it will be easy to discuss what to do.
Zheng Xiao believes that there should be more than just a few people who have crossed over together; others must have arrived in different places and are temporarily out of contact. Given time, they will surely be able to gather together.
With this intention in mind, Zheng Xiao began to observe the situation at the enemy squadron's headquarters, preparing to take them out completely.
Less than two hours after the warning line was set up, the sentinels spotted two groups of bandits and a squad of Japanese soldiers passing not far from their position. Fortunately, this hollow in the mountains was relatively concealed, so they remained undetected
However, once the facts were gradually verified and it was confirmed that this was not a dream, everyone finally believed that this was neither a prank nor a dream or a drill
The soldiers, bearing a heavy burden, established three lines of defense within a two-kilometer radius around the valley and positioned two snipers on the mountaintop to ensure the safety of the sniper points
In the walkie-talkie, Zheng Xiao's voice sounded deliberately lowered, seemingly to avoid being overheard. "You all wait there for another 2 hours. If no one arrives by then, you will lead the team to Area 11."
Since he encountered the enemy's squadron headquarters, and Zheng Xiao was eager to gather intelligence about the current environment, he certainly would not let this opportunity slip by. Although there were more than ten enemy soldiers, it was not considered a highly difficult operation for him.
Time seemed to pass particularly slowly while waiting, and the team members had already polished their weapons twice. Only then did the sound of footsteps come from outside the valley.
"And you?" He Ming and Yang Gang asked almost simultaneously
This is truly the work of fate
A wry smile appeared on He Ming's face as he shook his head, "How would I know why? I just ended up here in a daze."
Yang Gang set down the ammunition box on his shoulder, then sat down by the stream, wiping his sweat and saying, "What is going on? How did I end up here for no reason?"
I will take the opportunity to eliminate a Japanese command post and see what intelligence I can gather. Zheng Xiao laughed after saying this, and then abruptly turned off the intercom, cutting off contact with He Ming and the others
It is now the year 1933, and the region they are in is a no-man's land characterized by a complex mix of Chinese military forces, Japanese troops, bandits, and local militia, necessitating a heightened state of vigilance.
... ...
When Zheng Xiao met up with He Ming and the others, he encountered this command post on the way. He immediately had an idea and planned to seize the opportunity to take down the enemy's command post.
In a hollow in the mountains, He Ming sat cross-legged beside a stream, carefully cleaning his handgun. Next to him sat more than ten soldiers, each with their heads bowed, cleaning their weapons, and not a word was spoken.
In an open area approximately seventy to eighty meters away from Zheng Xiao, several tents have been set up, and a dozen or so Japanese soldiers are busily working around the tents, seemingly the staff of the Japanese command post
