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

Chapter 99 Departure to the Stronghold in Jinghai County

After a night of fighting, the soldiers were showing signs of fatigue, not physically but mentally. Their nerves had been on edge all night, and this sudden relaxation made them feel tired and sleepy.

Fortunately, Captain Zhang had a large number of men, so shift changes and rest were definitely possible. Today was the day Cheng Ying and Captain Zhang were to return to their stronghold in Jinghai County. Before leaving, Cheng Ying left behind another batch of grain. Of course, this batch of grain was grown in her own space. After all, the supplies she had seized from the Japanese devils and left for the soldiers here weren't much to begin with. They also distributed some to the local villagers. Cheng Ying was worried that the days ahead would be long and the grain she left behind might not be enough for them. This last batch of grain she left behind amounted to tens of thousands of kilograms, and the soldiers hadn't lacked food recently.

Two days later, they were already on their way back. Because more people had stayed at the new stronghold, they only brought back a little over a thousand people this time. They didn't have much luggage, and the streamlined personnel made their journey faster. However, just fifty kilometers away from the stronghold in the outskirts of Jinan, three enemy planes suddenly appeared in the sky. Captain Zhang immediately shouted, ordering his comrades to lie down and hide immediately!

At that moment, Cheng Ying, gazing at the enemy planes in the sky, flashed a cold light in her eyes, gathering lightning. With a single strike, she sent one plane crashing to the ground! Cheng Ying had already gained experience in shooting down enemy aircraft. Seeing one of their planes destroyed, the other two quickly dropped two bombs, which exploded on the open ground with deafening roars. In her haste, Cheng Ying unleashed two more lightning strikes, causing the other two planes to teeter on the brink of crashing. However, they continued flying forward for a while longer. One crashed into a mountainside, and the other into a large tree, even breaking the two trees in the impact.

Even now, everyone is still completely bewildered. What happened? How did these planes suddenly crash? Before the planes crashed, they seemed to hear the sound of lightning striking the ground. While everyone was still in shock, Cheng Ying began to worry about other things.

"Don't just stand there! We need to get out of here quickly. If the enemy discovers our location, they'll definitely send more planes." She said, urging everyone to keep moving forward.

Captain Zhang immediately realized what was going on, "That's right, let's hurry on our way and try to get back to the base as soon as possible."

So the group set off again, quickening their pace. Along the way, everyone excitedly talked about the miracle that had just happened. At first, they didn't know what had happened, but later, after someone in the group knew about it and with Cheng Ying's permission, the story spread. It was a special ability of Cheng Ying, and everyone in the group was amazed by the person with Cheng Ying's ability.

Cheng Ying pondered silently. She knew her special ability had attracted attention, potentially leading to more challenges and dangers. But she wasn't afraid, for she possessed unwavering faith and courage, willing to sacrifice everything to protect her country and people. The indifference she'd cultivated in the apocalypse—the refusal to meddle or act out of compassion—seemed like a distant memory. Perhaps time and environment shaped a person. Since arriving here, she had been moved by the people; they were the complete opposite of the cold-hearted people of the apocalypse.

The place is no longer recognizable from when she first arrived, but Cheng Ying has no regrets. She is willing to protect these lovely soldiers and give everything she has for the country, as if she herself were one of them. She wants to help the country and the people drive out the invaders who have invaded our country! This willingness and determination comes from the bottom of her heart and is a willing sacrifice!

After several days and nights of travel, the soldiers finally returned to their stronghold under the stars and moon. Captain Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, relieved to have led everyone safely. Upon receiving the news, Regiment Commander Wei and the others guarding the stronghold immediately came out to greet them. Captain Zhang and Regiment Commander Wei shook hands and cheerfully recounted their experiences. Regiment Commander Wei was deeply moved upon hearing their tales and gained a further understanding of Cheng Ying's abilities.

Commander Wei said excitedly, "Everyone deserves a lot of credit this time! Especially Comrade Cheng Ying, without you, how could we have completed this mission so quickly and smoothly? I am really grateful for Comrade Cheng Ying's contributions." Cheng Ying replied, "Commander Wei, I am also a member of our team. It is my duty to fight the Japanese devils and reclaim our territory. This is what I should do."

Commander Wei added, "I heard you intercepted a large amount of supplies from the Japanese this time. Is that true? I really can't believe it. It's already quite an achievement to repel the enemy and occupy that advantageous terrain! This has made great progress for our future work. I didn't expect you to capture such a large amount of supplies. By the way, where are the supplies? Why didn't I see you bringing them back?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying immediately said, "The supplies will arrive in a day or two. Commander Wei, please prepare the warehouse." Commander Wei beamed with joy. He laughed and said, "Haha, very good. Comrade Cheng Ying, you're doing well. You've just returned, go and rest first. I'll have someone call you when dinner is served." Cheng Ying nodded and then went to her long-missed lodgings!
