The bodies and heads had been buried, and the Japanese were eating breakfast in the camp.

The Japanese soldiers' breakfast was a rice ball and a bowl of hot soup with some wild vegetables and minced meat. The officers' breakfast was more substantial, with enough rice and canned meat to fill them up.

Because of the fear of their future fate, many Japanese soldiers could not eat, and the entire camp was shrouded in a dead atmosphere.

At this time, the team leader in charge of the outer security came over hurriedly to report to Xia Chuan and Er: "Sir, we have found traces of the enemy!"

"What did you say? We found the enemy's traces?" Xia Chuanhe Er stood up excitedly and asked.

"Yes, sir, it's in the northeast corner of the camp. The enemy sneaked in from there last night!" The team leader replied with his head down.

"Take us there quickly!" Xia Chuanhe Er ordered immediately.

"Hayi!"

The group followed the team leader to the northeast corner of the camp, which is the junction of the north defense position and the east defense position.

The squad leader led Xia Chuan and Er and his group to a trench. He pointed to a row of footprints and said, "Squadron Leader, look at these footprints. Our soldiers and officers wear different shoes, each with its own characteristics, especially the shoe prints. But these shoe prints are completely different in size and shape!"

"I estimate these shoe prints to be at least size 43, possibly 44. Imperial soldiers are generally shorter than Chinese, and foot size is closely related to height. Generally speaking, taller people tend to have larger feet. Therefore, these shoe prints definitely can't belong to us. They could have been left by the enemy who infiltrated the camp last night!"

Xia Chuanheer slowly squatted down to check the footprints, and compared his own shoes with the footprints on the ground. They were much smaller, so he asked some other people to come over for comparison. No one's feet at the scene were as big as the feet of the owner of the shoe prints on the ground.

Xiachuan and Er noticed the direction of the toes and heels of the shoe prints, and one set of footprints was heading towards the woods in the northeast direction.

"It seems that our enemies have returned to the woods along the same route after killing people. Fujiwara-kun, Takakura-kun, what do you think we should do now?" Xiachuan Heji stood up and asked.

Fujiwara Kousuke looked toward the woods and said, "I guess this enemy is sleeping in the woods or in the nearby weeds. After all, he's been busy all night. My idea is to organize a group of people to quietly search the nearby weeds. If there's nothing in the weeds, we'll surround the woods and set it on fire!"

"Let's burn this damn guy to death too!" Fujiwara Kosuke said at the end, gritting his teeth.

Takakura Shiro immediately supported the idea, saying, "I agree. This guy is too scary. As long as we defend the east, west, and south sides and prevent fire from the north side of the woods, if he doesn't want to be burned to death, he can only show up and be captured by us, or wait for him to come out and then we can shoot him to death!"

No one wants to be burned to death. Xia Chuanheer believed that as long as the fire started, the enemy would not be able to escape from the woods, and then he could order the soldiers to capture him.

Natsukawa Kazuji agreed to Fujiwara Kosuke's proposal. After discussion, the three decided to leave Takakura Shiro with a small team to guard the camp, while Natsukawa Kazuji and Fujiwara Kosuke each led a small team to search towards the woods from the left and right sides.

The Japanese soldiers received strict orders that no one was allowed to make any noise during the search and they had to be careful even when walking.

After searching for more than an hour, the Japanese found nothing. They searched the wasteland around the woods but found nothing.

"He must be hiding in the woods. It's a pity that we don't have grenade launchers and infantry guns. Otherwise, if we bombard the woods a few more rounds, we would definitely kill him!" Fujiwara Kousuke said angrily.

The forest had already changed its appearance after several rounds of shelling yesterday, but a large amount of dead grass, rotten leaves and trees were still left behind.

Xia Chuan and Er Xiang ordered a squad leader, "Send some men to the north side of the woods and set fire to as much as possible. If we can force the enemy out, that would be great. If not, we'll find another way!"

"Hayi!"

Just as the Japanese had guessed, Zhang Yunhe was tying himself to a tree branch and sleeping soundly.

When a fire started on the north side of the woods and thick smoke rose up, Zhang Yunhe was awakened by the smoke when the smoke was blown over by the wind.

He immediately untied the rope and sat up, looking in the direction of the smoke and heat. Through the iron-blooded biochemical mask, he saw a raging fire in the north, thick smoke blown over by the wind, and a large number of Japanese soldiers were deployed in the east, west and south directions of the woods.

"Holy shit, how did these bastards know I was in the woods? They're going to burn me alive!"

Zhang Yunhe cursed inwardly, but he did not slow down. He jumped down from the tree and began to quickly harvest the nearby dead grass with his wrist blade. He soon cleared out a firebreak that was 6 meters long and wide.

When the fire was swept in by the wind, Zhang Yunhe hid in the firebreak. The scorching heat almost roasted him, the oxygen around him was almost burned out, and the intense feeling of suffocation almost took his life.

After waiting for a long time for the fire to bypass the firebreak and head towards the southeast, Zhang Yunhe breathed in big gulps of fresh air.

The fire not only burned all the dead grass and fallen leaves in the forest, but also burned many dead tree trunks and branches.

After the fire, there were still many dead tree trunks in the forest burning and smoking, but the entire forest had been burned bare.

"Damn it! It's so early in the morning and I'm still asleep, but the Japanese gave me such a big gift. If I don't give them a gift in return, wouldn't it seem like I'm being rude?"

Zhang Yunhe made up his mind and immediately hid himself and quietly moved towards the west side of the woods.

Several Japanese soldiers were squatting in the grass observing the situation in the woods. Zhang Yunhe squatted under a tree at the edge of the woods. He picked up a stone nearby and threw it behind the Japanese soldiers.

A "puff" sound came from behind.

"What's that sound?" When the three Japanese soldiers heard the sound, they immediately turned around with their guns in hand as if facing a great enemy.

Taking advantage of the moment when these Japanese soldiers turned around, Zhang Yunhe immediately took action. He decided to kill these Japanese soldiers. Halfway through his journey, he saw a Japanese officer with the rank of captain not far away. He immediately changed his target and quietly approached the captain.

A captain of the Japanese army officer was standing in the grass and peeing facing the woods. He shuddered after peeing and just as he pulled up his pants, his neck was attacked. He felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then his eyes turned black, and he fell forward into the grass.

At this time, a pair of invisible big hands grabbed one of the Japanese captain's feet and dragged him towards the woods.
