By this time, it was completely dark, around 7 p.m. The team members lit torches and the battlefield was almost cleaned up.

Just then, a team member came over and said, "Cheng Ying, the reinforcements from above have arrived. Captain Wang wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."

When Cheng Ying returned to the county town and met Captain Wang, he was talking to an unfamiliar person.

When Captain Wang saw Cheng Ying arrive, he immediately said, "Cheng Ying, you're back! Come here quickly, let me introduce you. This is Wei Jianjun, the commander of the 21st Regiment. He's here to support us in completing this battle!"

When Cheng Ying got closer and saw the man's face, she realized that he was the operator she had met once before. He was the one she had met in the county town when they discussed the mission and obtained the intelligence. Although he had disguised himself at the time, Cheng Ying's eyesight allowed her to recognize him at a glance.

Captain Wang said to Wei Jianjun, "Commander Wei, this is our team member Cheng Ying's next battle. She will be working with you in everything."

Wei Jianjun raised an eyebrow in surprise. It wasn't that he looked down on girls, but it was the first time he had ever teamed up with a female team member to fight together.

Cheng Ying smiled and extended her hand to Wei Jianjun, "It's a pleasure to see you again, Commander Wei."

Wei Jianjun was surprised: "Have we met before?"

"Commander Wei, you really have a bad memory. Last time, when we completed the liaison mission in the county town, it was you who made contact with me. You even saved me after I got the newspaper from you. Do you remember?"

Upon hearing Cheng Ying's words, Wei Jianjun suddenly realized, "Oh, so that boy was you!"

Wei Jianjun awkwardly grasped Cheng Ying's hand. "I didn't expect you to remember me. But don't worry, I won't underestimate your abilities just because you're a female team member. On the battlefield, we don't distinguish between men and women."

Captain Wang patted Wei Jianjun on the shoulder, "Old Wei, don't underestimate Cheng Ying. She's our team's ace, agile and quick-witted. I'm sure you two will work together perfectly this time."

Cheng Ying nodded confidently, "Don't worry, Captain. I will do my best and live up to everyone's expectations."

Looking into Cheng Ying's determined eyes, Wei Jianjun felt a surge of admiration for her. "Alright, then let's fight side-by-side and complete this arduous mission!"

Having just expressed his unwavering confidence, he suddenly realized that the battle was over and he hadn't yet reported it to Captain Wang.

Cheng Ying said apologetically, "Captain, there's something I forgot to report to you earlier."

Upon hearing this, Captain Wang feared it was an urgent mission and quickly asked, "What is it?"

Cheng Ying said, "Captain, the battle is over. Around 5 o'clock, the Japanese sent a force of more than 8,000 men, and we won and completely annihilated them! Our comrades are cleaning up the battlefield now, and it should be almost done."

Captain Wang and Wei Jianjun were utterly shocked upon hearing this! Captain Wang exclaimed in astonishment, "What? A force of over eight thousand? So many enemies, and we actually won against them all, annihilated them all! How is that possible? How did you do it?"

Even Wei Jianjun was very surprised when he heard this. Even if their regular troops came, they might not be able to completely annihilate a force of more than 8,000 people. How did they manage to do it?

Captain Wang said anxiously, "Quickly tell me the process! How did you manage to complete this so successfully? How did you manage to do something that is completely impossible? This is absolutely impossible!"

Cheng Ying licked her lips and said, "At first, we felt that one line of defense was not safe, so we built two. I also planted bombs three kilometers away. At that time, the enemy also had a lot of bombs, which may have caused a chain reaction. We were very lucky, and we wiped out most of the enemy in one fell swoop."

When the remaining enemy reached beyond our defensive lines, we won after a hard-fought battle.

Captain Wang and Wei Jianjun were both so surprised that their mouths dropped open. "Is that even possible?!" Just then, Wei Jianjun said, "Can you take me to the site to have a look?"

Captain Wang nodded in agreement and said, "Let's go together!"

So Cheng Ying led Captain Wang and Wei Jianjun to the position twenty miles away. When Cheng Ying and Captain Wang arrived at the position, Captain Wang and Wei Jianjun couldn't wait and grabbed the torches from their teammates to check it out!

It was actually true! The facts were undeniable; no one could deny it! Captain Wang exclaimed excitedly, "Great! Great! We've won! This was truly a remarkable battle!"

Wei Jianjun, standing to the side, frowned, feeling that something was amiss. Although it was all the remnants and ruins of war, with craters and holes all destroyed by gunpowder, the scene was still quite different.

But regardless, this battle was indeed fought very well, and we won. Perhaps luck really was on our side! Seeing this, Cheng Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; another hurdle had been overcome! Whew…
