The Flames of Resistance Against Japan in Jiangnan

For the physical training of the special operations battalion, Xu Wenqing adopted the method of repeated stimulation training with short-term fatigue.

Using this method, the team members who are currently lying on the ground looking like dead people will all recover and become energetic again after just two hours of rest.

Moreover, because these people have a relatively good foundation, their tolerance will be greatly enhanced in a short period of time.

Xu Wenqing's ultimate goal was to enable these people to maintain their combat effectiveness while enduring high-intensity fatigue combat for seven days and seven nights without any rest.

After barely managing to replenish their food and water, the team members who were lying on the ground immediately entered a semi-comatose state, and a large number of people lay sprawled on the ground.

More than a dozen soldiers, including Zhou Gang, Ma Wanshui, and Zhou Xiaolong, performed exceptionally well.

Because everyone's physical condition is different, Xu Wenqing selected those who still had some strength left to take on guard duties.

Xu Wenqing divided them into two groups, with each group taking turns to rest for an hour before switching shifts.

Two hours later, the special forces soldiers, still fast asleep, heard a demonic roar:

"You little bastards, get up! The next leg of your hellish journey is about to begin."

Hearing Xu Wenqing's shout, even the special forces soldiers, who were still asleep, were startled awake and jumped up one by one.

"Huh? My strength has basically recovered?"

"Ah, I'm alive again?"

The team members, who had just woken up, started shouting in turn.

It turned out that when everyone woke up, they all found that their physical strength had indeed been basically restored, just as Xu Wenqing had said.

This immediately excited the special forces soldiers who had been paralyzed on the ground like dead dogs just two hours earlier.

However, thinking about the hellish journey that was about to begin, they all drooped their heads, and their excitement to regain their strength disappeared considerably.

However, whether they liked it or not, the hellish journey began. Xu Wenqing led everyone to continue towards Yushan County, marching while continuing their special training. The special forces members had to endure the cruel torture of the devilish Xu Wenqing once again, while also receiving his various magical knowledge and skills...

Around 6 p.m., the special operations battalion of several hundred men, led by Xu Wenqing, had reached the outskirts of Yushan County in eastern Zhejiang.

On the way, Xu Wenqing and his team contacted the reconnaissance team sent by the Special Service Battalion's reconnaissance company and learned about the basic situation in Yushan County.

The county seat of Yushan is currently occupied by a regiment of the local White Army force, the Yushan County Security Regiment of Zhejiang Province, with approximately one thousand men. Their weapons and equipment are average, but their combat effectiveness is acceptable.

Yushan County is a mountain town with a relatively rugged terrain, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After learning about the basic situation in Yushan County, Xu Wenqing pondered the battle plan and ultimately decided that the special operations battalion would be responsible for annihilating the entire Yushan County security regiment on its own.

Xu Wenqing then assigned combat missions during the march. The mission was for a battalion of the Special Service Battalion to deal with the security regiment in Yushan County and to completely annihilate the regiment.

When Xu Wenqing assigned tasks to all the soldiers of the special operations battalion, his orders left the vast majority of them feeling uncertain.

Only a few people who followed Xu Wenqing in taking down the command post and artillery positions of the Fuliang County Security Regiment firmly believed in Xu Wenqing's words.

Now, in their eyes, Xu Wenqing is like an omnipotent god; whatever Xu Wenqing says is possible, it will definitely happen.

Therefore, they remained very calm, and their calmness gradually infected others.

In addition, others heard about the commander's amazing abilities from Zhou Gang and the others, and gradually everyone's unease turned into eagerness to try it out.

By the time they reached the outskirts of Yushan County, everyone was in high spirits. If they hadn't been tortured to the point of near death by Xu Wenqing along the way, they would have wanted to rush into Yushan County and annihilate these enemies in one fell swoop.

Xu Wenqing observed all of this, secretly amused.

"These young lads are so impetuous; they're still a long way from becoming elite special forces soldiers."

Xu Wenqing immediately arranged for everyone to replenish their food and water as they had at noon, and then arranged for everyone to rest on the spot.

When everyone was resting, Xu Wenqing said to Zhou Gang, who had been by his side:

"Zhou Gang, let's go and conduct on-site reconnaissance of the enemy's situation."

Zhou Gang answered crisply and softly:

"Yes!"

His eyes, however, were filled with fervor.

Zhou Gang knew that following Xu Wenqing to conduct on-site reconnaissance was like having a private chastity session with the regimental commander, and he would definitely learn a lot of skills along the way. Therefore, Zhou Gang cheered up, dragged his equally tired body, and followed Xu Wenqing quickly toward the outskirts of Yushan County.

Before long, the two stealthily reached the outskirts of Yushan County. Yushan County was a small mountain town, and Xu Wenqing and Zhou Gang spent an hour gathering intelligence on the enemy situation there. They then returned to the special operations camp's encampment. While gathering intelligence, Xu Wenqing naturally taught Zhou Gang various very practical reconnaissance techniques...

After returning to the special operations camp's encampment, Xu Wenqing inspected the sentry posts again. Seeing that the visible and hidden sentries were arranged and matched very reasonably, Xu Wenqing returned to the encampment with satisfaction, leaned against the root of a large tree, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep...

Around 11 p.m., Xu Wenqing woke up the special forces soldiers who were still fast asleep.

After more than four hours of rest, the team members had all fully recovered their energy and strength.

The special operations battalion has now been organized into one battalion, four companies, and nineteen platoons, totaling five to six hundred people.

Apart from Xu Wenqing personally serving as the instructor of the special operations battalion and Zhou Gang, who was appointed by Xu Wenqing, serving as the battalion commander, all other officers were elected.

The elected deputy battalion commander was Hong Qiang from the 20th Division of the Red Army. Hong Qiang was already the deputy battalion commander in the 20th Division. He was 28 years old this year and was a good man who was both literate and brave, with exceptional intelligence and courage.

The First Special Service Company consisted of five combat platoons. The company commander was Ma Zhanhao, a hero who had followed Xu Wenqing into battle at Wuniguan; the deputy company commander was Jiang Biyou, who was originally a deputy company commander in the 21st Division.

The Second Reconnaissance Company comprises five combat platoons. The company commander, Qian Danchen, was originally a company commander in the 19th Division. He is 29 years old this year and is a capable man who is both literate and skilled in martial arts. The deputy company commander, Hou Tianbao, was originally a deputy company commander in the 21st Division.

The Third Company's guard company comprises five combat platoons. The company commander, Liang Jinlong, is 26 years old and serves as the deputy battalion commander of the 20th Division. The deputy company commander, Ye Fei, is 25 years old and serves as the company commander of the 19th Division.

The 4th Engineer Company consisted of four engineer platoons. The company commander was Gao Changjian, a company commander from the 21st Division, and the deputy company commander was Zhang Desheng, a former deputy company commander from the 19th Division.
