Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 307: Sword 10

The lackey was still confused and said he didn't understand.

"You don't understand! You came in late and never participated in the mopping-up operation. At that time, we were still called the Yellow Army. During the mopping-up operation, we were always in the front, and when we retreated, we became the rear team and walked at the back. That's why there were very few injuries among the Taijuns, while everyone in the guard team was injured. Do you understand?" The puppet army leader explained patiently.

The lackey was speechless now. This was indeed the case with the team just now. Although the generals were tired, they kept their backs straight, especially the sergeant who was leading the team.

The guard team was in a slack state. Some of them used their guns as crutches to walk. Their hats were worn crookedly and the buttons were not fully buttoned, which looked awkward no matter how they looked at them. Several of them didn't even have guns. They must have lost them because they were frightened during the battle.

On the first company's side, after walking two kilometers and making sure it was safe, Yu Xian ordered a temporary rest and distributed the several boxes of bullets and grenades that had just been delivered to share the pressure of the load.

The vision was severely obstructed at night and they had to take into account possible enemies, so they only walked more than ten kilometers when it was almost dawn. Yu Xian found a secluded place and ordered them to rest on the spot.

"Captain, you should take a rest!" Wang Ping advised Yu Xian when he saw that he was in a low spirit.

"Don't worry, I'm not exhausted yet. This is the first time for our comrades to experience such a march, and I have to keep an eye on them." Yu Xian said with a smile, holding his command knife.

"But we've only come this far! You can't keep holding on like this!" Wang Ping was very worried.

"Haha, after everyone has adapted, I will have a good rest. Deputy Company Commander, you may have to make a stretcher and carry me around. Okay, you go and have a rest too, and change when you've rested enough." Yu Xian licked his chapped lips and said.

"Okay!" Wang Ping nodded, leaned against the tree, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

I slept until the afternoon. When I opened my eyes, I saw Yu Xian and several soldiers skinning mice. The ground next to them was covered with a few leaves, on which lay several skinned and gutted mouse carcasses.

"Company commander, you guys?" Wang Ping was a little confused when he saw this scene.

"This is the soldiers' food. I asked the soldiers who woke up first to find it." Yu Xian explained.

"Company commander, we can't make a fire in this situation!" Wang Ping was a little worried.

"What are you thinking about? You want to eat cooked food under these conditions? Just eat it raw!" Yu Xian said slowly, looking at his hands full of rat blood.

“Raw…eat it raw!”

Although Wang Ping was born in poverty, he had never fallen to the point of eating raw rat meat. When he heard Yu Xian say that this was the way to eat it, his empty stomach began to feel sour.

"Don't waste time. The soldiers searched everywhere and caught these few. They also found some food in the rat hole. But you also said that we can't make a fire under these conditions. When we climbed the snow-capped mountains and crossed the grasslands, we even ate insects, let alone rats." Yu Xian sighed.

This is the situation. We can only wait until we meet up with the regiment headquarters in Zhaojiayu and then try to prepare some herbal anthelmintics.

This knowledge was learned when I was in the Red Blood Cells. Wild animals carry parasites and pathogens, so you should not touch them unless it is absolutely necessary. If you have to, you must take remedial measures.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, all the soldiers woke up. Yu Xian distributed the rat meat and the little food found in the rat holes into dozens of portions for everyone to eat to replenish their energy.

Many people were hesitant and didn't dare to take the initiative. Yu Xian didn't blame them, but took the lead and demonstrated.

The soldiers had also experienced bloody battlefields. Since the company commander had eaten it, they could not be cowardly and each of them endured the discomfort and ate the raw rat meat.

Next, Wang Ping was responsible for vigilance, while Yu Xian took a rest. In view of the fact that the marching speed was too slow last night, Yu Xian decided not to wait until it was completely dark before setting off, but to set off after the sun sets.

Extremely exhausted, Yu Xian fell asleep quickly and had a dream. In the dream, he was not alone, but also the strongest heavy armored combined brigade on the surface of the earth.

Yu Xian took everyone to the holy land to meet the sun in his heart and his comrades, and reported to them the ups and downs of building a new country after 28 years of struggle.

Then he led his army to march towards the northeast, annihilated the inhumane army, and took control of the most complete industrial area in the country...

When Yu Xian was looking at the tanks in front of him that were beyond the times, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. He suddenly woke up and pulled out half of the command knife in his hand.

"Company commander, it's us. It's time to set off!" Wang Ping looked a little anxious.

When Yu Xian heard Wang Ping's voice, he immediately put away his knife and stood up. The sun had just set, and apart from the star in the western sky, no other obvious starlight could be observed.

When the soldiers saw Yu Xian stand up, they also stood up and lined up.

"Let's go!" Yu Xian immediately gave the order to set off after finding the direction.

In the next five days, Yu Xian led everyone to the most inconspicuous places in the blockade to avoid encountering the Japanese troops. He followed the same method and passed the checkpoints defended by the puppet army. During this period, he encountered two battles with diehard stubborn elements and lost five soldiers.

At dawn on the sixth day, they finally got out of the Japanese blockade. Yu Xian took advantage of the time when the Japanese garrison was out on a mopping-up operation and no longer moved out at night but instead rushed day and night. When he was too tired, he stopped to rest for about two hours, then bypassed the towns along the way and marched quickly to Zhaojiayu to meet up with the main force.

The situation on the blockade line was eventually discovered by the Japanese secret service, and reports were sent to Yamamoto Ikki through layers of channels.

Ever since the last disastrous defeat in the sneak attack on the headquarters using the battlefield observation group as bait, Yamamoto Ikki started a new round of selection and training of special forces, and began to revise his own training and combat plans, gritting his teeth to use special forces to defeat the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in bloody disgrace.

Now he was holding the intelligence and marking it on the map, and from time to time he could hear one or two "Baga". No wonder he was angry, the special warfare theory he was proud of was implemented so perfectly by the other side, while he failed twice in two attempts, and the difference in results was obvious.

Disguise as an opponent? Yamamoto had considered this possibility, but this method would not work on the Yamamoto Special Forces he had personally established. They could not disguise themselves as another person or even as ordinary people.

The current situation is extremely serious for Yamamoto Ikki, because the other side has a special forces that is more professional than his Yamamoto special forces. Not to mention the weapons and equipment, just the fact that they crossed the layers of blockades set up by the First Army as if no one was around, this action is much more clever than his own.

If they had the same conditions and equipment, even Commander Yoshio Shinozuka's residence in Taiyuan City might not be safe.

The reality is that in the last surprise attack on the headquarters, Yamamoto's special forces lost more than half of their troops, and the newly selected recruits have not yet fully formed combat effectiveness. The intelligence just received combines the special forces' combat methods with the intelligence and lurking subjects of the secret service agency, which means that the previous training outline must be overturned and additional training subjects must be added.

The agents of the secret service were experts in disguise and intelligence, and most of them were Chinese. However, they were all weak fighters and could not carry out such combat missions. In addition, Yamamoto Ikki would not trust them at all. He could not expect people who betrayed their country to be loyal to the Empire of Japan.

Yamamoto Ikki felt a headache when he thought about the soldiers under his command who always looked up to the sky and kept their backs straight. Did he need to set new selection criteria?

After much deliberation, Yamamoto Ikki decided to burn the information. It was true that the opponent's special operations thinking surpassed his own, but he had experience studying in Germany, and this alone was enough to make the opponent feel ashamed.

Because on the opponent's side, a person who has studied in a foreign military academy (except the military academy of the Russian Bear) is at least the commander of a division. It is impossible for him to be unknown and not even have a name.

What we need to do now is to restore the combat effectiveness of Yamamoto's special forces as soon as possible, and then find an opportunity to do something big and prove our worth to Commander Yoshio Shinozuka.

Not to mention the fact that Yamamoto Ikki on the Japanese side was emo because of this information.

After a difficult breakout, the headquarters and various troops in Shanxi finally arrived at a relatively safe area to rebuild the command system and began to find each other's superiors and subordinates.

All combat units returned to their bases one after another, except for the independent regiment, which had no news at all. The brigade commander was very worried about this.

At this time, at the entrance of a valley near Zhaojiayu, a group of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops were running towards this side in a fighting posture. The militiamen guarding the top of the cliff looked coldly at these sixty-plus people, ready to attack once they were within range.

Who knew that when the leading sergeant was about to enter the firing range, he raised his hand and ordered the team to stop advancing. He took out a map and looked at it for a while, then picked up a telescope to observe the surrounding terrain.

After observing the surroundings, the sergeant put away the map, and then saw that they had relaxed their combat stance. Except for those who were on guard, everyone else found a favorable spot to sit down and rest.

During this time, a Japanese soldier took out a flag from his arms, chopped down a two-inch thick tree on the roadside, cut off the branches, opened the flag and put it on the trunk, and finally stuck the flag on the roadside.

"Captain, what should we do if the devils and traitors don't come into range?"

Seeing that the target was out of range, a militiaman became a little anxious.
