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

Just as Cheng Ying and the others were talking and warming themselves up inside, a sharp bugle call sounded. This was the bugle call to assemble the main force. Upon hearing this sound, no matter what you were doing, you had to immediately stop and go out to assemble!

After Cheng Ying and the others finished packing, they went outside and saw many people running orderly towards the compound, as it was the largest space and could accommodate everyone. Captain Sun was at the front, directing the troops to line up. Once the ranks were complete, Captain Sun began to speak: "Comrades, now is our time to be tested. Quyang in our north-central region is under siege by the enemy, and we are needed to provide immediate support." Captain Sun paused for a moment, then continued, "Comrades, are there any problems?" The soldiers shouted in unison, "No problem! We will follow the organization's orders!"

Captain Sun was very satisfied to hear this. "Alright, go pack your bags now. We'll depart promptly in half an hour." "Yes, sir!" Then, together with Cheng and the others, they returned to the dormitory to pack their bags. Half an hour later, the soldiers, carrying their packs, arrived at the city gate under Captain Sun's leadership.

The city gates were wide open, and the procession marched in a grand procession toward Quyang in the north-central region.

Throughout the journey, everyone remained silent, their hearts filled with apprehension about the unknown battle ahead.

Cheng Ying followed the team, her feelings complicated. She didn't know what this support mission would bring, but she knew she had to face it bravely.

As the sun sets, its afterglow shines on the determined team marching forward, as if foreshadowing a difficult yet glorious battle they are about to face.

Because Quyang is more than 100 kilometers away from Lincheng, the soldiers boarded trucks after leaving the city. The trucks were packed with people, and the vehicles bumped and jolted along the rugged roads. Cheng Ying's thoughts drifted away with the passing scenery outside the truck.

As night fell, the convoy finally arrived in Quyang. The city lights flickered in the darkness, yet conveyed a tense atmosphere. The soldiers quickly disembarked and took up their posts according to orders. Cheng Ying followed the convoy into the city, and the scene before her made her heart tighten—smoke filled the streets, buildings were in ruins, and the citizens looked haggard.

The shadow of war loomed over the city, but the soldiers' eyes were filled with determination and courage. They knew the weight of their responsibilities and that they had to hold their ground and defend their homeland. Cheng Ying, too, did not flinch. She gripped her weapon tightly, ready to meet the impending challenge.

Just then, Captain Sun found Cheng Ying. "Comrade Cheng Ying, let me introduce you." Cheng Ying then noticed several people standing next to Captain Sun. "This is Liu Yang, the commander of the 38th Regiment, and Wei Jianjun, the commander of the 21st Regiment." Cheng Ying saluted and shook hands with them one by one. "Commander Wei, we meet again! So you were transferred here." Commander Wei also said with a smile. "Yes, I didn't expect to meet you here again." Captain Sun said, "Old Wei, you know each other?" Commander Wei Jianjun smiled and said, "Of course, Cheng Ying was transferred from our regiment. I felt it was a pity at the time. We had a very pleasant working relationship before." Captain Sun said, "Oh, I see. Cheng Ying, I didn't expect you to be transferred from Old Wei's regiment. I've never heard you mention it before." Cheng Ying smiled but didn't say anything.

Liu Yang from the 38th Regiment said, "The situation is extremely dire. Let's discuss how to fight this battle!" Everyone else became serious upon hearing this. Regiment Commander Wei said, "Old Liu, what's the situation now? Tell us." Liu Yang pointed to the map with a grave expression, "The enemy has already approached the southern suburbs of the city. Our forces are limited, and we must formulate an effective defense plan."

Cheng Ying carefully examined the map and suggested, "We can use the city's buildings and terrain to wage guerrilla warfare and minimize direct confrontations."

Wei Jianjun nodded in agreement, "At the same time, we can also organize citizens to participate in the defense to strengthen our forces."

After a moment's thought, Captain Sun said, "I think we still need to send a small team to raid the enemy's rear and disrupt their plans."

Everyone took turns speaking, discussing the battle plan. Ultimately, they finalized a detailed strategy and decided to launch the operation at dawn.

Night had fallen. Cheng Ying stepped out of the command post and gazed at the silent city. She knew that tomorrow would be a life-or-death battle, but she firmly believed that they would be able to protect this city.
