As soon as the first day of the Chinese New Year, Yang Heng took the "Eagle Camp" of 300 people to the Congshan Mountains in Alishan for outdoor survival training.

There were only two subordinates beside Yang Heng, one was the thin Tian Deli, and the other was the strong Fu Sancai. According to Tian Deli's physical condition, he could not choose Yang Heng's team at all. Tian Deli had been in Zuo Liangyu's army and had no prospects. He was almost eliminated in the Agricultural Reclamation Corps during the reorganization. Thanks to the boss of the Advance Corps who felt that although Tian Deli was not strong enough, he was still a little clever, so Tian Deli sneaked into the Advance Corps. When the Advance Corps wanted to select 3,000 people as the Taiwan Guard Corps, Tian Deli sneaked into the Guard Corps again, because in addition to taking the physical examination of the school, the Guard Corps also took the literacy test. Tian Deli knew a few words and was barely selected again.

The reason why Tian Deli was able to get into Yang Heng's Eagle Camp in the cruel selection was because he grew up in the deep mountains of Hubei. Yang Heng's "Eagle Camp" was precisely a mountain guerrilla team, specially formed for tropical rainforest combat. No matter what, Tian Deli grew up in the deep mountains and old forests, and his survival skills in the mountains and forests were stronger after all, so Tian Deli took the last bus to the "Eagle Camp".

The ancient trees in the mountains are towering and thorns are growing. The three of them have to use their swords in their hands to cut through the thorns from time to time before they can take a step. The mist is everywhere in the mountains and forests, and they cannot tell whether it is fog or miasma. Yang Heng carried a potion to prevent miasma with him, but he was not afraid of miasma. However, the mist in the mountains and forests is very affected, and his movements are extremely inconvenient.

Tian Deli was in front of the road, Yang Heng was in the middle, and Fu Sancai was in the back. He struggled to pass through the rugged and thorny forests. The three men's military uniforms were pulled out, and blood marks were also drawn by various thorny plants on their hands. It was still better to say Tian Deli was in front of the road, not so embarrassed. Although the military uniforms were also a little broken and there were several marks on their hands, the situation was much better than Yang Heng and Fu Sancai.

With a "swish", Fu Sancai accidentally hung his military uniform on a piece of thorny vine. The military uniform that had already been drawn out all over the place made a new hole. Fu Sancai's cotton uniform was almost intact, and the situation was not much better than a beggar.

Fu Sancai called:

"Damn it! This mountain road is impossible to walk at all. I turned into a beggar. I was bitten everywhere on my body, and my hands and face were always hung with vines and thorns, causing wounds everywhere. Battalion Commander, I really can't stand it. I can't figure out what the relationship between training like this is related to war!"

Fu Sancai followed Yang Heng to fight the Battle of Laizhou and then fought the Battle of Liberation of Taiwan. He can be regarded as the most practical veteran in the new army. When selecting special forces, he did not go to the special forces because Fu Sancai suffered a flesh-and-skin wound on his arm. When he formed the "Eagle Camp", Fu Sancai had recovered from his injuries and was naturally selected by Yang Heng.

Yang Heng patted Fu Sancai on the shoulder, looked at his colorful military uniform, and smiled:

"I didn't complain when I was fighting. This was just a march on the mountain. The mountains in Taiwan are of course different from those in Nanjing. There are fewer people here, and with lush grass and trees, it is of course a little more difficult. But Sancai, think about it, if the enemy fled into the mountains, wouldn't we chase them?"

Tian Deli also laughed at Fu Sancai for coming:

"Brother Sancai, this is just a walk in the mountains. What's the difficulty? In my hometown, hunters often have to lie on the mountain in order to hunt, and they lie on each other for several hours. Hunting depends on what to fight. When encountering a white bear, it is not fun, and it is often a life-and-death death. Of course, if you hit a white bear, it will be valuable."

Fu Sancai grinned and shouted:

"You monkey in the fields, I can't compare to you when you go to the mountains and forests. But if you want to fight against the white bear, you are not my opponent."

Fu Sancai is not bragging. Tian Deli is accustomed to using bows and arrows. He has not been trained for a month in total, so he is naturally worse than taking Fu Sancai. But then again, Tian Deli is still very powerful in the past two days. He used bows and arrows to shoot pheasants and birds. In addition to picking some wild fruits, the three of them rely on pheasants and birds to satisfy their hunger. This training stipulates that guns should not be used. Fu Sancai was very depressed. Looking at the deer running far away, he really wanted to shoot and kill a deer, and then he could drink deer blood. It is said that deer blood is a great tonic.

Yang Heng felt that Tian Deli was indeed a monkey spirit among the forests. He called him Tian Deli, but he was a bit enlightened.

Suddenly, Tian Deli made a gesture, signaling Yang Heng and Fu Sancai to stop, and then, when they were unable to do anything, he suddenly swung a knife and cut on a tree in front of him. A sword flashed, and a snake about inch thick was cut off in the halfway, falling into the thorns, and it still twisted. Fu Sancai was not afraid of the earth, but was a little afraid of the snake. The snake blood splattered, and Fu Sancai felt a little nauseous. However, Tian Deli felt like he had a treasure, lifted up the snake that was still twisting, and chopped off the snake's head with one knife, and said happily:

"Battery Commander, this snake is enough for three of us to eat for a day."

After saying that, he began to peel it skillfully. Yang Heng was also afraid of the snake's poison. He endured it and did not vomit. He also had to praise this quick-witted subordinate:

"Brother Tian, ​​you're so capable! I didn't feel any snakes on the tree. Hey, is this snake poisonous?"

Tian De pointed at the snake's head with a knife and said:

"The snake's head is a triangle, of course it is a poisonous snake. But it's just that the teeth are poisonous. It's not a problem to eat its meat when chopping the head and eating it. When I was in my hometown, I could sometimes catch snakes. After barbecue, the taste was very good. Unfortunately, the training stipulates that it cannot make a fire, so I can only eat it raw."

Tian Deli remembered that he had caught a pheasant at the beginning, closed his eyes and ate a bloody chicken leg with hair and meat into his mouth, chewed it in his mouth, and then gritted his teeth and swallowed it into his stomach. At that time, he felt nauseous. However, the first time was better, and then he gradually got used to eating raw foods. Now he saw the snake weighing six or seven pounds in his hand, it was so delicious!

Tian Deli acted quickly. After a while, he peeled half of the snake, cut off a piece, handed it to Yang Heng and Fu Sancai, and said:

"This snake is a good thing, and it's thriving."

Yang Heng took it, hesitating a little, and did not dare to sip it. However, he saw that Tian Deli had already held a bloody snake body and started chewing it with relish. Yang Heng felt a little disgusting, but when he saw the brother's eating habits, he suddenly felt extremely hungry. He gritted his teeth and chewed it in one bite. Well! The taste seemed to be no worse than the pheasant. After this level, Yang Heng began to eat it violently, completely forgot that he had three points of fear of this poison. Fu Sancai had the best appetite, and he usually ate the most, and ate a piece of snake in just a few seconds.

This outdoor survival training lasts for six days. The members of the "Eagle Camp" are in groups of three people and are not allowed to carry any food. They must hunt food in the wild for survival within five days. Whether hunting animals or digging wild fruits and vegetables, they cannot make fires. In six days, not only to survive, but also to march back and forth for 300 miles. This is the training outline issued by Nanjing. It basically refers to the standards of the special forces, but only some requirements have been lowered in some aspects.

Yang Heng originally thought that he would be stationed in Taiwan for at least two or three years, and thought that his task in the future was to guard Taiwan, so he had already made plans to stay in Taiwan for a long time.

After the golden gourd stone was successfully mined, according to Chen Zilong's Taiwan defense plan, Yang Heng began to train the Taiwan Guard Corps, which selected soldiers from the Advance Corps. The selected soldiers turned out to be the subordinates of Wu Sangui, Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing. After reorganization, they were defeated by the regular army and became members of the Advance Corps. Of course, the soldiers of the Advance Corps were one level better than those who had retired and converted to the Advance Corps. After selecting them here, a team of 3,000 people was pulled out.

These three thousand people were considered to have passed the battle formation and were not convinced by Yang Heng, a young instructor at the beginning. However, after Yang Heng knocked over several soldiers who challenged him with bare hands, he finally made these old men obeyed and started training in a queue. After seeing Yang Heng's shooting skills, these veterans even clamped their tails one by one and practiced shooting one by one.

Less than ten days of training, the emperor's imperial edict arrived. Yang Heng was ordered to form a mountain guerrilla team - Yingzi Battalion, with 300 people, and selected from the New Army's defenders and guard regiments stationed in Taiwan. One of the ten people could not be selected, of course, was considered an elite soldier. The training subject was a training outline drafted by Chongzhen himself. The requirements were not as high as the special forces team, but it was definitely considered a devil training plan. While launching the "Sichuan Exchange Luzon" plan, the "Yingzi Battalion" was also formed at the same time.

At first, the purpose of establishing the "Eagle-Captain" was to assist the tyrants and help these tyrants who were not familiar with the tropical climate march into Luzon and occupy some important areas outside Manila. However, as the Japanese occupied Manila and had to change their plans, the task of the "Eagle-Captain" became arduous. According to the latest plan, the "Eagle-Captain" was ordered to join the 1,200 new army and some tyrants who arrived in Luzon to occupy important areas of Luzon, leading guerrilla warfare in Luzon, waiting for an opportunity to capture Manila.

After the "Eagle Camp"'s wild survival training ended and returned to Tainan, it was already the tenth day of the first lunar month. The Japanese were already on their way to Luzon. It seemed impossible to arrive in Luzon before the Japanese. In the end, they could only use the method of division of troops and divided into three directions. Each direction was escorted by a wheeled boat, and sailed to the northern, eastern and southern Manila, respectively, aiming to avoid the Japanese radar search.

The 100 people led by Yang Heng were targeting the eastern part of Luzon Island, bypassing the northeast of Luzon Island on the sea, then landed in the eastern part of Luzon Island, and then marched towards Manila.

Regarding the Japanese iron ships equipped with clairvoyance, although Yang Heng was skeptical, the Japanese iron ship offensive and defense manual provided by Nanjing already reads in black and white: radar has clairvoyance function, passing ships with a radius of three or four hundred miles above the sea are all within their monitoring range. If you want to cross the sea safely, you must avoid them far away.

The two ships floated on the boundless sea. After three days and two nights, everything was safe. Yang Heng couldn't sleep well and got up early. He walked onto the side of the boat. It was not yet bright at this time. In a blink of an eye, a red glow lit up at the intersection of the water and the sky, and the range of the red glow became larger and brighter. Then, the red sun rose slowly, and the sky was full of red glows, and the water was shining with rippling golden light. The sunrise scenery was so beautiful.

This is the third sunrise that Yang Heng saw on the sea. Every time he was shocked by the sunrise on the sea that cleansed his soul. However, when he thought of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he no longer had the intention to enjoy the dazzling sunrise.

Yang Heng was about to walk back into the cabin, and someone shouted:

"Look, what is that?"

Yang Heng's heart skipped a beat and thought, could it be that the Japanese iron ship appeared? Wouldn't that be bad!

Tian Deli ran over when he heard the sound. Looking around, he saw something floating on the sea far away, muttering: "I can't see clearly."

Yang Heng raised his telescope and looked from a distance, but someone was holding a wooden board and floating in the sea, with about a dozen people. Yang Heng quickly explained:

"It should be that the ship sank. Those people are floating on the sea. Hurry up, ask the wheel boat to come and take a look."

The chariot leaned forward and began to save people. Seventeen people were rescued, but only five were alive. The other twelve people could not withstand the cold in the water and were already dead. The five people were also dying. After filling the ginger soup, they found out that, except for one of these people, the Jinyiwei, the others were all tyrants who went to Luzon. There were ten ships heading for Luzon. The day before yesterday, they were bombarded by Japanese iron ships. I wonder if one or two had escaped, and at least seven or eight were sunk. These people survived by chance, each carrying wooden boards and floating on the sea. Fortunately, they met the Ming ship two days later, and were able to escape.

Continue to move forward, and another seventeen survivors were rescued. These people were all strong and strong, and survived with their tenacious vitality. After the Japanese iron ships sunk eight ships, they had no time to take care of people and leave, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Yang Heng was extremely angry, but he could only bury hatred in his heart. The key now is to land on the eastern coast of Luzon as quickly as possible. But he didn't know if the other two routes were in danger.

Nothing happened in the next four days. However, the two ships drove south along the coastline of eastern Luzon, but they didn't know where they drove. The navy crew was not unfamiliar with the route to Manila, but no one knew how long it would take to sail to the eastern coast of Luzon, which was the same latitude as Manila.

I really had no choice but to go to the dock to find someone to inquire. But I couldn't understand the language of the natives, and I still didn't know where I went.

After weighing the pros and cons, the only choice now is to explore the way himself. Yang Heng finally decided to leave 10 people and navy troops to guard the ships, and he led 90 brothers from the "Eagle-Camp" and 22 brothers rescued from the sea to march eastward.

The next day, Yang Heng saw a village in a telescope, which had more than twenty sheds, which was the largest village I saw on this trip. Yang Heng thought that maybe he could find an indigenous guide who knew to go to Manila here. Well! Even if you know the direction, it would be much better than blind action.
