Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Qiuligou Town,

Team leader Tan Jinliang looked at his watch and saw that it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

They have been holding out for six hours!

Remembering the instructions of squad leader Wang Yaohui, he began to blow the whistle for retreat!

There was little response in the town.

There were three groups and thirty soldiers, but only six of them were evacuated in the end!

They went into the sorghum field in the north and ran towards the Old House Peak!

There were sharp whistling sounds.

The Japanese army once again launched indiscriminate artillery bombardment on the town!

The whole town was instantly engulfed in fire and smoke.

Houses collapsed one after another under the bombardment of artillery shells, flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.

The Japanese army's regiment's four Type 75 mountain guns and six Type 92 infantry guns began to fiercely cover the town!

Fortunately, after Wang Yaohui’s mobilization last night, most of the people in the town had been evacuated!

On the mountain, Wang Yaohui raised the telescope, feeling extremely angry. In this war, the ordinary people are the ones who suffer the most!

As the war continued, many people were forced to lose their homes!

The hum of airplanes was heard in the air.

Wang Yaohui looked up and saw four Japanese planes circling back and forth at low altitude!

There was a plane flying very low, only a few dozen meters high, and its wings were almost brushing the treetops.

Wang Yaohui suddenly remembered something and hurriedly picked up the phone!

But, it's too late!

At the artillery position, although the cannons were camouflaged with branches, the bright light from the piles of shell casings scattered on the ground attracted the attention of the plane!

The plane dived straight towards the artillery position!

And dropped a bomb!

With a bang,

A cannon was overturned!

Then, the remaining three planes also arrived upon hearing the news, dropping bombs madly on the artillery positions and strafing back and forth continuously!

In the nearby woods, Li Wenke, leader of Mountain Artillery Group 1, clenched his hands in anger until his nails dug into his flesh!

He grabbed a Type 38 rifle!

Fortunately, all the artillerymen hid in the woods!

Even if the cannons are gone, the artillery can still be used as infantry.

Qiuligou Town, on an unknown hillside in the south,

Yin Xinjun has a complete view of the battlefield situation!

It was he who asked Wang Yaohui to allocate a small number of troops to guard the town.

Because there are too many Japanese troops, if Wang Yaohui directly defends the mountain, he will not be able to hold on and will collapse soon!

Yin Xinjun also saw the Japanese planes, but they were too far away from him and he could do nothing!

Now everything can only wait until night comes!

Japanese front-line headquarters,

Xiao Chai Toshio was almost depressed. He would never attack unless he could find the enemy's artillery!

The flesh and blood of the infantry are used to fill the artillery's fire network. Even if he has a large number of men under his command, it will not be enough!

This was the conclusion he came to after witnessing the Chinese army's successive attacks in the Battle of Shanghai, where most of the Chinese troops died in the Japanese artillery fire!

An officer came over excitedly with a note in his hand!

"Colonel, the air force dropped a communication tube!"

Colonel Koshiba Toshio took the note and it said,

"Enemy artillery destroyed!"

He was overjoyed and began to give orders.

"Order the troops to attack immediately!"

Groups of Japanese troops rushed towards the town again, but to their disappointment, the soldiers in the town had already withdrawn. They vented their anger on innocent people!

Mengjiang County, Dajiazi Mountain,

It was dark.

In a forest on the hillside,

With a few shouts,

The soldiers are up!

They were ready to set off! Because the weather was good tonight, with a bright moon in the sky,

When the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces walked at night, they dared neither hold torches nor use flashlights!

A furtive figure walked out of the campsite.

The figure came to a tree not far away.

I looked around and saw no one!

The man stood there, holding the tree with one hand, pretending to pee!

However, his urine seemed a bit long.

Wait until this person leaves!

In the bushes next to him, Wu Feng, who had just finished relieving himself, stood up!

He looked at the receding figure suspiciously.

He felt that something was wrong with the figure just now. Others who saw him from behind thought that the guy was peeing while leaning on a tree, but from Wu Feng's perspective, he saw that the man's hands were moving strangely on the tree!

Go under that tree.

He struck a match and lit his pipe!

With the help of the firelight, Wu Feng suddenly saw several symbols drawn on the tree!

He quickly struck another match, opened his eyes wide and looked at it carefully, a look of shock appeared on his face!

The match fell to the ground, and in the afterglow,

Wu Feng saw another complete cigarette lying in the grass!

He hurriedly picked up the cigarette, took out his bayonet, and destroyed all the marks on the tree!

Only then did we catch up with the main force!

The weather is getting colder.

Especially during night marches,

A cold wind blew.

Li Hao felt so cold that he was shivering all over. He only ate two sweet potatoes in the evening!

Touching his hungry belly, he felt extremely annoyed. If the troops continued to march like this, they would not be able to reach Jingpo Lake in half a year. If they did not find the secret camp and prepare food for the winter, it would be a big question whether they could survive this winter!

There were chaotic footsteps coming from my ears.

Li Hao looked up and saw

The brothers Wu Bing and Wu Feng came over.

Wu Bing whispered,

"Captain, I have something to report to you!"

"What's going on? It's so mysterious!"

Wu Feng leaned close to Li Hao's ear and told him exactly what he had seen, and even took out the cigarette!

Wu Bing quickly struck a match.

"Auspicious brand? That's rare!" Li Hao took the cigarette and said to himself.

The match is out!

Li Hao asked,

"What symbols are carved into the tree?"

Wu Feng quickly reported,

"There is a →, followed by two numbers 13!"

Li Hao's eyes suddenly widened. He suddenly remembered what his instructor said when he was studying in Japan.

"Everyone, intelligence communication is very important. For example, we can sometimes use 1 to represent east, 2 to represent west, 3 to represent south, and 4 to represent north! If the vanguard troops leave a mark for the ones behind, it can be marked as →1, which is a reminder for the ones behind to continue heading east!"

Li Hao's breathing quickened.

The marching mission issued by Political Commissar Han tonight is,

"Your vanguard will march to Wujindingzi in the southeast direction tonight!"

"1, 3?! Southeast direction! Oh my God, this is a signal to the Japanese expeditionary force!"

He whispered to the Wu Feng brothers,

"There are Japanese spies in our team! Wu Feng, did you see clearly which one it is?"

Wu Feng shook his head.

"Captain, the light is bad at night. I only saw a silhouette. I don't know him at all. Besides, I have never dealt with the headquarters!"

Li Hao nodded in understanding. He thought about it, brought the two together and whispered to them!
