The Flames of Resistance Against Japan in Jiangnan

In the end, the Red Army commander feared that the enemy's follow-up troops had set up an ambush in the mountains, and besides, it's common sense not to pursue a desperate enemy. So the Red Army chased for a while and then stopped. The fleeing White Army heard the gunfire behind them getting farther and farther away, and only then did they stop to catch their breath.

The Red Army soldiers, having stopped, cleaned up the battlefield as they walked back, naturally not forgetting to maintain necessary battlefield security.

"Qingzi, thanks to you today. I really didn't expect your marksmanship to have become so good."

The man beside Xu Wenqing said.

Xu Wenqing looked at him, hesitated for a long time, and said:

"I bumped my head earlier and I'm still dizzy. There are a lot of things I can't remember and they're all in a daze. Can you tell me about them?"

Xu Wenqing's nickname was indeed Qingzi, but that was only used by very close friends like Shouhou. Xu Wenqing and this man were complete strangers, yet the man called him by his nickname right away, which made Xu Wenqing quite puzzled.

"Qingzi, are you confused, or are you scared out of your wits?"

The man said,

"I am Hu Jiu."

As he spoke, he vigorously rubbed his face with his hands. He wondered if his face was covered by dust or something, making him difficult to recognize, which was why Aoko across from him couldn't recognize him.

Xu Wenqing finally understood that he must have transmigrated into the body of a real person, and this person was very familiar with the man in front of him. What was even more bizarre was that the person he possessed also had the nickname Qingzi.

"Oh, Uncle Tu. I mean... no wonder I always felt like we were very familiar."

Did I just faint? Why can't I remember some things now?

Who am I? What time is it? Where am I?

Xu Wenqing started to play dumb. After all, he grew up watching Hong Kong movies, so the best thing to do at this time was to pretend to have amnesia. If he had amnesia to the point that he wouldn't even recognize his wife, what could she do to him?

"The commander must have been scared out of his wits."

"A burly man next to me said."

"I don't think so. It's more likely that he's possessed by a ghost. Those shots the commander fired just now, it really looked like a ghost."

"That's what the other man next to me said."

Xu Wenqing thought to himself, "Isn't this just possession by a ghost? I was originally a ghost from the 21st century who fell off a cliff."

As for his marksmanship, that was honed over a decade of military service and countless boxes of ammunition he received at the local armed police training ground after his discharge. However, Xu Wenqing also possesses exceptional talent. During his military service, his instructors remarked that it was rare to find someone with such a high level of aptitude for marksmanship as Xu Wenqing.

"Commander, you were knocked unconscious by a grenade just now, I thought you were dead. I didn't expect that when you woke up, your marksmanship was like a ghost. You know, you used to be able to shoot at a target the size of a cow twenty paces away and still not hit it."

Hu Jiu spoke to him while examining Luo Yi's body from head to toe to see if he was injured anywhere.

It's already December, winter.

The White Army soldiers who were killed or wounded were all wearing cotton-padded clothes and shoes, and cotton military caps. Xu Wenqing and his comrades, on the other hand, were wearing thin summer clothes, and many of the soldiers' lips were purple from the cold.

So Xu Wenqing didn't stand on ceremony and immediately started to strip the clothes off a White Army soldier's corpse. After putting on the cotton-padded coat, cotton-padded military shoes, and cotton-padded military hat, Xu Wenqing finally felt warm.

The Red Army soldiers, who had been stunned by Xu Wenqing's actions, suddenly understood. Without hesitation, they targeted their own men and quickly improved their conditions, warming themselves up. Fortunately, Xu Wenqing had killed at least ten White Army soldiers in this exchange.

Even the White Army platoon leader's twenty-shot Mauser pistol became Xu Wenqing's trophy, hanging on his body. The other Red Army soldiers also improved their conditions to varying degrees, at least getting a new gun.

After cleaning up the battlefield, everyone bandaged each other's wounds and happily carried their spoils into the mountains. Hu Jiu and Xu Wenqing walked behind, and Xu Wenqing began to subtly inquire about various things, gradually forming an understanding of his situation after transmigrating.

Xu Wenqing was in the mountainous region of southern Anhui in 1934. The current time was December.

His identity was that of a deputy commander of the 55th Regiment of the 19th Division of the Red Army's Anti-Japanese Vanguard Team, also known as the Red Tenth Army Corps.

A few days ago, after the failed ambush of the White Army's Supplementary Brigade at Tanjiaqiao in Huangshan, the main force of the troops retreated back to Jiangxi Province while fighting. Xu Wenqing, the deputy commander of the 55th Regiment, took over the position of commander of the 55th Regiment after the commander was killed in action. He led his 55th Regiment to carry out a covering mission in southern Anhui and snipe the pursuing enemy.

Xu Wenqing's 55th Regiment originally had over a thousand men. Recently, due to continuous battles with the pursuing White Army, the unit suffered heavy casualties and significant losses. Now only a little over four hundred remain. The White Army has already formed an encirclement and is gradually closing in.

Because the Red Army had fewer bullets and weapons, its combat effectiveness was still quite different from that of the White Army. Most of them, like Xu Wenqing before them, could not hit any target from twenty paces away.

The fallen regimental commander was a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, with excellent marksmanship and martial arts skills, but unfortunately, he died in the ambush at Tanjiaqiao. Xu Wenqing, who took over as regimental commander, was also wounded. The one who had been directing the battle was the company commander, the burly man from earlier, named Luo Daqiang. He was brave but reckless, and his marksmanship was mediocre. However, there was no other way; until Xu Wenqing regained consciousness, they had to rely on him as their leader for the time being.

Xu Wenqing's predecessor did not have a formal name; everyone called him Qingzi.

Hu Jiu didn't know anything about Xu Wenqing's background, only that he used to be a homeless child who was picked up by the roadside by a fallen regimental commander. He then followed the commander into the army and later joined the Red Army. Xu Wenqing was very brave in battle, but he would occasionally get into trouble, and he wasn't very bright.

As for Hu Jiu, he is a generation older than Xu Wenqing and is one of the older members of the army. He is a kind and honest person and is one of Xu Wenqing's protectors in the army. In the past, whenever Xu Wenqing got into trouble, it was Hu Jiu who helped to smooth things over and settle things. For this, Hu Jiu has been criticized a lot on Xu Wenqing's behalf.

Xu Wenqing followed everyone into the mountains to reunite with the other 400-plus members of the group who had evacuated earlier.

He was in a state of confusion and his mood was as low as those around him.

He was a perfectly capable young man, quite successful in his career, had made a down payment on a house, taken out a loan, and gotten engaged. Then, he got itchy fingers and started playing Counter-Strike, and ended up ruining himself.
