A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

So, the group escorted the two bandits down the mountain. As soon as they reached the county town gate, they sensed something was wrong; the guards were much tighter than usual.

Yu Jianshe immediately went to Cheng Ying's side and said, "Comrade Cheng, we need to be careful. Something seems off in the city."

Cheng Ying nodded and said, "We'll play it by ear in a bit. This county magistrate might really have something going on."

He had a bad feeling, but he still calmly walked towards the entrance of the county town.

The city guards stopped them and demanded, "Who are you? What business do you have in the city?"

Cheng Ying replied, "We are People's Liberation Army soldiers from Kyoto. I have something to discuss with your county magistrate."

The soldier, however, did not let them pass, his eyes fixed on the two bound men.

At this moment, Yu Jianshe gave Cheng Ying a wink, and Cheng Ying understood, quietly drawing a dagger from her waist.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and the county magistrate was seen galloping towards them with a group of his men.

Upon seeing Cheng Ying and the others, the county magistrate's expression changed, and he shouted, "Arrest them all!"

Yu Jianshe shouted, "Who are you? You come here and try to arrest us? Do you know who we are?"

The county magistrate sneered, "No matter who you are, once you're on my turf, you have to listen to me."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and his men behind him raised their guns and pointed them at Cheng Ying and the others.

Cheng Ying and the others showed no fear. "As the head of a county, you actually aided and abetted the wicked and colluded with bandits, disregarding the lives of the common people. Aren't you afraid that someone from above will come to investigate you?"

The county magistrate looked at Cheng Ying and the others with an incredulous expression, saying, "I haven't done anything wrong, so why are you investigating me? Besides, I caught you colluding with bandits, which is a great achievement."

At this moment, the two captured bandits shouted loudly, "The county magistrate and his men are colluding with bandits! We went to arrest them, but we got captured instead! You have to save us!"

It turned out that the two bandits had already conspired with the county magistrate to intercept them if they didn't return on time.

Cheng Ying let out a cold laugh. In an instant, she teleported in front of the county magistrate, and with a flash of cold light from her dagger, she slashed the throats of the soldiers next to the magistrate.

Just as the county magistrate was about to raise his hand to fire, Cheng Ying used a spatial barrier to trap them, instantly freezing their movements.

Yu Jianshe also led his team to rush towards the county head and tied up the immobilized people and the county head!

Cheng Ying and Yu Jianshe led their team to escort the county magistrate and the remaining soldiers into the county town, and then used the county magistrate to quickly take control of the armed forces in the county town.

Yu Jianshe led his men to interrogate the county magistrate and his associates overnight, uncovering all those in the county town who were colluding with bandits.

Fortunately, the troops stationed in the county town did not collude with the county magistrate. Luckily, Cheng Ying and her team arrived in time, before the county magistrate had infiltrated the troops.

Cheng Ying and Yu Jianshe handed over a copy of the list they had obtained from the interrogation to the stationed troops. There were about 20,000 troops stationed in the county town and more than 30,000 in the suburbs.

The situation is relatively good at the moment; at least Cheng Ying and the others have arrived, so we are not fighting alone.

In the past two days, the regimental commander of the stationed troops realized the seriousness of the situation and came to contact Cheng Ying and the others to discuss what to do next.

In a meeting room in the county committee compound, Cheng Ying, Yu Jianshe, and the stationed troops, including Regiment Commander Zhao and Battalion Commander Xu, were present.

Commander Zhao said to Cheng Ying and the others, "Captain Cheng, Captain Yu, we are very sorry. We failed to safeguard the security of the county town, allowing the county magistrate to take advantage of the situation. I will report all the facts and take responsibility afterward."

Yu Jianshe said in a deep voice, "Commander Zhao, what we are going to talk about now is not what responsibilities you should bear. The main purpose of the superiors sending us here is to have you assist us in suppressing the bandits."

As for the rest, a new county head will be sent down from higher authorities to handle it.

Commander Zhao nodded. "Alright, so what should we do next?"

Cheng Ying then said, "First of all, we need to arrest and interrogate all the major forces and bandits on the list who have connections in the county."

Battalion Commander Xu said, "Captain Cheng, everyone on the list in the county is under our surveillance. We're just waiting for them to make a move so we can arrest them."

Cheng Ying nodded. "Very good. We must keep a close watch on them and prevent them from causing trouble in the county town again. Battalion Commander Xu will be in charge of keeping an eye on this."

Battalion Commander Xu immediately replied, "Yes, sir! Rest assured, I will complete the mission."

Cheng Ying said, "Another issue is the bandits in the Dayue Mountains. We need to send people to investigate them. I have already sent our people to keep an eye on them."

Commander Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will arrange personnel deployment to prepare for battle at any time."

After everyone had discussed it, Cheng Ying took out two communicators, gave one to Regiment Commander Zhao and the other to Battalion Commander Xu, taught them how to use them, and then went about their own business.
