A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan
Chapter 108 Harvesting Rice
After the Battle of Sanbao Village, our army successfully opened up the only way from the Dongtan Reed Marsh, through the Ziya River to the Jinpu Railway.
From this day forward, this entire area would belong to our army, a crucial route for our successful advance into the southern parts of Tianjin. The soldiers cheered and celebrated this hard-won victory. However, they knew that the war was far from over. They would face even greater challenges and trials ahead.
At the victory celebration banquet, Captain Zhang, Regiment Commander Wei, and other high-ranking officers discussed their next strategic plan. They decided to press their advantage, giving the enemy no chance to regroup, and to recover more lost territory in one fell swoop.
At the same time, they did not forget to comfort the families of the wounded and injured soldiers, bringing them warmth and care. Citizens flocked to the streets to bid farewell to the brave soldiers as they set off for battle, eagerly anticipating their triumphant return.
Under the Japanese army's policy of using Chinese to control Chinese and using war to sustain war, Jinan naturally became an ideal base for military food production. In order to ensure the needs of the war of aggression, the Japanese army implemented a brutal "rice rationing" system in Jinan.
The Japanese army forcibly seized rice farmers' farmland, establishing dozens of farms and occupying over 100,000 mu (approximately 6,667 hectares) of rice paddies. They also strictly controlled rice production, forcing farmers to use all their rice for military purposes, causing immense suffering to the people of Jinan. After the establishment of the Jinan Working Committee, it immediately mobilized and organized the people of Jinan to actively participate in the struggle against the Japanese army for rice.
That autumn, it was harvest season again. The Jinan Working Committee decided to rush to harvest the rice from the three Japanese farms: Fujii, Mukogawa, and Daian.
After receiving the mission, Captain Zhang and his team discussed the operation with several high-ranking officers and finally devised a detailed action plan.
First, the first step was to split into three teams and, under cover of night, join forces with nearby villagers to sneak into the three farms to harvest the crops.
For the safety of the villagers, they divided into groups to protect each villager. Each group consisted of five or six armed workers plus two or three villagers. This way, in case of an accident, the villagers could be protected from harm to the greatest extent possible.
Another thing they did was send two more squads to eliminate the Japanese soldiers guarding the farm one by one.
Cheng Ying was the captain of one of the two squads. To save time, they split into two groups, one going left and the other going right. They first set up a small position in a place some distance from the farm and then attracted the Japanese army's firepower.
Meanwhile, the members of the rice harvesting teams quickly sneaked into the farm to harvest the rice. Although it was night, the hot wind blew on their cheeks as they swung their sickles in the dark.
The team members moved nimbly and silently, harvesting the rice. Despite their burning resentment towards the invaders, they remained calm, ensuring the operation proceeded smoothly.
Just when they thought everything was going smoothly, suddenly, alarms blared. It turned out that the Japanese army had already detected their movements and laid a trap.
The moment Cheng Ying and his men outside heard the alarm, they immediately sensed something was wrong and increased their firepower to draw the Japanese army's attention.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Captain Zhang and his team, faced with this sudden turn of events, remained calm and quickly directed their members to disperse and break through the encirclement. A thrilling battle ensued…
Cheng Ying moved enough ammunition from her storage space, along with two mortars and three Type 96 light machine guns, and then gave a brief explanation.
"You guys stay here and try to draw enemy fire. We've given you plenty of weapons and ammunition, use them as much as you can! We also have two mortars; that should be enough firepower. I'm going to check on Captain Zhang and the others over there."
The teammates immediately replied, "Yes, Captain!" The soldiers were very excited because with so many weapons and ammunition, they believed they would drive the Japanese army back to their hometowns to drink bean porridge.
Under the cover of darkness, Cheng Ying quickly went to support Captain Zhang. When she arrived at the base of the farm wall, she used spatial concealment, took a running start, and pushed off the wall to climb up!
Cheng Ying went down the wall and looked around. The strongest firepower was at the entrance, while Captain Zhang and his team, who were harvesting rice, were surrounded by the Japanese army. It was a critical moment!
Cheng Ying immediately took out a machine gun from her spatial storage and quickly opened fire on the Japanese troops. This stunned the Japanese soldiers, who could only hear the gunfire but could not see anyone. As a result, the Japanese soldiers could only fire in the direction from which they heard the gunfire.
But when they tried to pull the trigger, they found themselves unable to move, unable even to muster the strength to pull the trigger with their fingers. The Japanese soldiers' eyes widened immediately, and they trembled with fear.
After Cheng Ying dealt with the waves of Japanese soldiers surrounding Captain Zhang and his men, she immediately appeared before Captain Zhang and said...
"Captain Zhang, you guys keep going, leave the rest to us."
This was the first time Captain Zhang had ever seen Cheng Ying with such incredible abilities. Her skills were simply divine. Captain Zhang didn't know how to describe Cheng Ying at this moment.
The teammate next to him immediately asked, "Captain Zhang, what do we do now?" Captain Zhang immediately snapped out of his daze, his eyes widened, and he roared...
"What are you all standing there for? Keep harvesting!" he said to the other team members and villagers.
"Let's all work hard now!" Then the other team members and villagers immediately lowered their heads and continued cutting rice.
After dealing with the wave of Japanese soldiers surrounding Captain Zhang and his men, Cheng Ying immediately went to the main gate, where there were two rows of firing ports, constantly spewing out mouth-to-mouth fire.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Ying immediately went invisible and quickly moved towards the Japanese troops. She teleported behind the Japanese soldiers who were firing hard, used a freezing spell to immobilize them, and then took them out one by one with her gun.
