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

A few days later, Captain Wang said to Cheng Ying, "We have contacted our superiors in the past few days. They have given us a mission: there is a Japanese stronghold fifty miles away from our county. We need to intercept them on their way to support us here."

There is a small grove of trees about 20 miles outside the county town. We are considering setting up obstacles there to intercept them, to stop them there and prevent them from coming any further.

Our superiors will send people over to support us in the next couple of days. They should arrive in a day or two, so we need to go there in advance to prepare.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying was startled and asked, "Does the captain know how many people the other side has?"

Captain Wang pondered for a moment and said, "We don't know yet, but we estimate at least several thousand people. We only have a little over a thousand people right now."

We must wait until reinforcements arrive from above; holding our ground is a very difficult task!

We absolutely cannot afford to lose the positions we fought so hard to capture. However, one advantage we have is that the weapons and food we've found in the county town are still plentiful. This abundance of supplies is our strength!

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying replied firmly, "Yes, Captain, I guarantee the mission will be completed."

Cheng Ying asked Captain Wang for permission to lead a team to scout the terrain and set up preliminary traps. Captain Wang agreed and instructed her to be careful.

Cheng Ying led her team out, cautiously approaching their target location. Along the way, they encountered several enemy patrols, but thanks to their agility and excellent combat skills, they successfully evaded their attention.

Upon reaching the woods, Cheng Ying carefully observed the surrounding environment and directed her team to set up traps. They used trees, ropes, and various obstacles to construct a sturdy defensive line.

However, just as they were busy, a gust of wind blew by, bringing with it the faint sound of footsteps. Cheng Ying's heart tightened, and she immediately signaled everyone to take cover.

It turned out to be a few traitors on patrol. They were saying, "Damn it, I'm so angry! Those Japanese devils know how to enjoy themselves. They make us work so hard patrolling here, waiting for them to arrive while they're well-fed and watered, while we're starving."

Another traitor said, "Zhang Ergou, you don't want to live anymore, you dare to blurt out anything. You're only relying on the fact that we brothers are here and won't tell anyone. Alright! In a bit, we'll go to the nearby villages to see if there's any food. The Japanese shouldn't be able to get here so quickly."

Cheng Ying realized this was unacceptable. She couldn't let these scoundrels and traitors wreak havoc on the villagers; she had to find a way to stop them.

Cheng Ying made a quick decision and decided to lead her team to reveal themselves and outsmart the traitors. She quietly signaled her team to split into two groups: one group would flank the traitors from behind, while the other group would follow her and attack from the front.

Just as the traitors were about to leave, Cheng Ying led her team out and surrounded them. The traitors panicked and tried to resist, but Cheng Ying and her team quickly subdued them.

“You are anti-Japanese guerrillas!” One of the traitors recognized Cheng Ying.

“That’s right,” a hint of authority flashed in Cheng Ying’s eyes, “You traitors who sell out your country for personal gain, don’t even think about oppressing the people anymore!”

Next, Cheng Ying ordered the traitors to be tied up and temporarily imprisoned in a safe place. After ensuring the safety of the village, Cheng Ying and her team continued to improve the traps, preparing to welcome the approaching Japanese army.

At this moment, Cheng Ying called over a team member: "Xiao Li, this is not enough. We don't know how many enemies there are, but they are definitely not few. We must try our best to win in one strike. We need to build another defensive line in the open area outside the woods, so that we can build two defensive lines."

"If the first line of defense fails, we'll retreat to the second line. This will greatly ensure the safety of our comrades. You all stay here and get back to work. I'll go check things out ahead." Upon hearing Cheng Ying's words, Xiao Li quickly replied, "Yes, I guarantee the mission will be completed."
