Chapter 12 The Late Preserved Fruit Troop
After a night of running around, most of the soldiers were almost exhausted.
Because it is necessary to avoid the Japanese as much as possible and march in a hidden way, most of the routes planned by the staff for the secret agent company are mountain roads.
In this snowy day, it was almost a blackout march, and the soldiers were carrying heavy loads. There was no non-combat attrition in the troops, which proved that they were the best among the best.
Zheng Yingqi rubbed his cold left hand, took out his pocket watch from the pocket of his cotton-padded jacket and checked the time.
Although it was already past seven in the morning, the sky was still gray and there was no sign of the sun rising.
He waved to Li Yunlong, who was one position behind him. Before he could speak, Old Li, who had the same tacit understanding as before, came over with a map.
Zheng Yingqi used hand gestures to order everyone to rest where they were, while he and Li Yunlong checked whether the current route was correct. The eyes of the two people who had worked hard all night seemed to lack some spirituality.
"Old Zheng, judging from our current speed, we will reach Xiaowang Village in about three kilometers."
Li Yunlong sucked in the snot that was about to flow out, and wiped away the frozen tears. As a southerner, his performance throughout the night was a bit poor.
After being tortured by the biting cold wind all night, the cold air caused his nasolacrimal ducts to shrink, and his tears could not stop flowing.
Seeing Li Yunlong's embarrassed look, Zheng Yingqi grinned and laughed silently.
"Comrades, please hold on a little longer and wait until you reach the village before eating. After drinking snow water all night, your stomach will not be able to bear it."
The Xiaowang Village that the special agent company is about to arrive can be described in one sentence.
Loyal bones are buried everywhere, monuments are everywhere, every family has lived with the Eighth Route Army, and every household has had soldiers. This is the most true portrayal of this village. Even the passing troops have felt the enthusiasm of the villagers.
The troops continued to advance for forty-five minutes. When they were about to see the village, Zheng Yingqi stopped everyone's progress.
Although he only had one eye left, his eyesight was not bad. Walking at the front of the team, he saw the dancing firelight ahead.
Everyone present is a veteran, so they naturally understand what is happening ahead.
I think of those enthusiastic villagers in the past, those kind-faced old people, and those cute children.
Even an elite spy company can barely maintain its sanity.
Zheng Yingqi firmly grabbed Li Yunlong, who was about to rush into the village. He bit his lips tightly, took a deep breath, and called the best scout in the team.
"Cao Yu, take your people to see the specific situation. No matter what happens, everyone must be back within fifteen minutes!"
The scouts set out immediately after receiving the order. Because they didn't know how many enemies there were, the atmosphere in the team was colder than the cold wind in February.
Every minute and every second at this time was very painful, and the hearts of the soldiers seemed to be pierced back and forth by a knife.
Finally, all the scouts are back.
Based on the number of firearms, Cao Yu believed that there was currently a detachment of Japs in the village. Except for two who were standing guard, the rest of the Japs were in the largest house in the village.
Li Yunlong tried his best to keep his eyes wide open. After listening to the scout's report, he and Zheng Yingqi looked at each other.
At this time, the two of them had the same idea. Blood debt must be paid with blood!
"We will bring the war to their land, their people, their blood."
After arranging the attack plan, the entire spy company broke into pieces and sneaked into the village from multiple directions. The soldiers' eyes were fixed on the largest house in the village.
It was obvious that these two Japs on guard were the lowest beasts on the food chain in their unit.
A night's work left them listless and out of breath.
Zheng Yingqi and Li Yunlong appeared from their blind spot and approached the two beasts quietly.
The two of them covered the mouths of the beasts almost at the same time, and at the same time stabbed their necks with bayonets. The force of this stab was so strong that if they had not tilted their heads, they would have hurt themselves.

Seeing that they succeeded easily, the soldiers hiding everywhere appeared one after another with weapons.
Zheng Yingqi clicked on a squad of soldiers and signaled others to stay alert.
The moment they kicked open the door and entered, the beasts in the house woke up, but the soldiers would not give them any chance to resist.
The sound of more than twenty shell guns being fired came from inside the house. After ten full minutes, Zheng Yingqi led the soldiers out.
He stopped Li Yunlong who wanted to go in and take a look and said:
"Old Li, I heard that people will die after losing 40% of their blood. I wonder if the same is true for animals."
After doing all this, Zheng Yingqi ordered his comrades to collect the bodies of the villagers. The village was in a mess, and even in February, the comrades were still sweating profusely.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid marching came from outside the village, and it sounded like there were a lot of people.
Just as Zheng Yingqi was about to order a covert withdrawal from the village, Cao Yu came to him and told him that the person coming was a battalion under the 217th Regiment of the Central Army.
After learning that the visitor was a friendly force, Zheng Yingqi breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked the soldiers to remain vigilant.
But after seeing the other party's commander bringing a large number of new soldiers, Zheng Yingqi knew the other party's intention.
Although this was the first time he saw the Eighth Route Army with such good equipment, the battalion commander did not ask anything.
He just came over, patted Zheng Yingqi's shoulder, smoked a cigarette, and said sorry in a voice that was almost inaudible.
After these people received the news, they did not come here immediately, so there is only one purpose for coming here now.
Training new recruits. Because there are many people who join the preserved fruit army just for a bite to eat.
Only a very small number of people joined the army after their family members were killed by Xiaori and they wanted revenge after escaping.
These people are rarely welcomed no matter which war zone they are in, because as soon as they go to the battlefield, they naturally bring a fierceness with them.
Even if you are shot several times or pierced by a bayonet, you still have to use your last breath to pull a beast on its back. Everyone is a ruthless person in a fight.
This is the function of hatred.
But other than that, many recruits still retain the traditional kindness of the common people. They will be afraid when they go to the battlefield and dare not stab the enemy in front of them with a bayonet.
This really cannot be changed through simple training. Some recruits would rather starve to death or die themselves than do this.
In enemy-occupied areas, a village would often be massacred by animals.
After the preserved fruit troops find out, they will gather the recruits and let them harvest them for the common people.
Let these recruits see the scene of the entire village being slaughtered by beasts. When normal recruits see the village full of corpses and rivers of blood, their first reaction is to be afraid and vomit.
Then, under the urging of the superior, he would cry and work at the same time.
These recruits will understand one thing. This hell-like scene on earth cannot be created by humans, but those beasts can.
The recruits will gradually turn from fear to anger.
After the end, their commander will tell the recruits that if you dare not fight for a while, when the beasts come to your house, they will kill your family members.
