Chapter 37 The Late Preserved Fruit Troops

After a night of running around, most of the soldiers were almost exhausted.

Because they had to avoid the devils as much as possible and march in secret, the routes planned by the staff for the special forces company were mostly mountain roads.

It was a snowy day, and they were marching almost in the dark, so the soldiers were carrying a lot of heavy loads.

The troops had no non-combat casualties, which was enough to prove that they were the elite among the elite.

Zheng Yingqi rubbed his frozen left hand and took out his pocket watch from the pocket of his cotton-padded jacket to check the time.

Although it was already past seven in the morning, the sky was still gray and there was no sign of the sun rising.

He waved to Li Yunlong, who was one step behind him. Before he could speak, Li Yunlong, who had the same tacit understanding as before, came over with a map.

Zheng Yingqi used gestures to order everyone to rest on the spot, and he and Li Yunlong checked whether the current route was correct.

The two people who had been tired all night seemed to have lost some spirituality in their eyes.

"Old Zheng, at our current speed, we are about three kilometers away from reaching Xiaowang Village."

Li Yunlong sniffed his snot that was about to flow out, and wiped his frozen tears. As a southerner, his performance was a bit poor all night.

Tortured by the biting cold wind all night, the cold air caused his nasolacrimal duct to contract, and his tears could not stop flowing.

Looking at Li Yunlong's embarrassed appearance, Zheng Yingqi grinned and laughed silently.

"Let the comrades hold on for a while and wait until we get to the village before eating. Drinking snow water all night will make your stomach unbearable."

Xiaowang Village, which the special forces company is about to arrive at, can be described in one sentence.

Loyal bones are buried everywhere, and every ridge is a monument. Every family has lived in the Eighth Route Army, and every family has produced soldiers. This is the most true portrayal of this village.

Even the passing troops have felt the enthusiasm of the villagers.

The comrades continued to move forward for forty-five minutes. When they were about to see the village, Zheng Yingqi stopped everyone from moving forward.

Although he only had one eye left, his vision was not bad. Walking at the front of the team, he saw the flickering flames in the distance.

All the people present were veterans, and they naturally understood what was happening ahead.

Thinking of the enthusiastic villagers in the past, the kind-looking old people, and the lovely children.

Even the elite special agent company could hardly keep their sanity.

Zheng Yingqi tightly grabbed Li Yunlong who wanted to rush into the village. He bit his lips tightly, took a deep breath, and called the best scout in the team.

"Cao Yu, take your people to see the specific situation. No matter what happened, everyone must come back within fifteen minutes!"

The scouts who received the order set off as soon as possible, because they didn't know how many enemies there were, and the atmosphere in the team was colder than the cold wind in February.

Every minute and every second at this time was very tormenting, and the hearts of the soldiers seemed to be pierced back and forth by a knife.

Finally, all the scouts came back.

Based on the number of guns, Cao Yu believed that there was a squad of devils in the village.

Except for two who were on guard, the rest of the devils were in the largest house in the village.

Li Yunlong tried to open his eyes wide. After listening to the scout's report, he and Zheng Yingqi looked at each other.

At this time, the two of them had the same idea. Blood debt must be paid with blood!

"We will bring the war to their land, their people, and their blood."

After arranging the attack plan, the entire special forces company broke up into pieces and sneaked into the village from multiple directions. The soldiers' eyes were fixed on the largest house in the village.

It was obvious that the two guards were the beasts at the bottom of the food chain in their squad.

A night's work made them listless and panting.

Zheng Yingqi and Li Yunlong appeared from their visual blind spot and tiptoed towards the two beasts.

The two almost covered the beasts' mouths at the same time, and at the same time, the bayonets stabbed into their necks fiercely.

The force of this stab was so great that if the two had not tilted their heads, they would have hurt themselves.

Seeing that they succeeded easily, the soldiers hiding everywhere appeared with weapons.

Zheng Yingqi pointed out a squad of soldiers and signaled others to stay alert.

The moment they kicked the door open and went in, the beasts in the house woke up, but the soldiers would not give them any chance to resist.

More than 20 sounds of Mauser pistols were heard in the house. After a full ten minutes, Zheng Yingqi came out with the soldiers.

He stopped Li Yunlong who wanted to go in and said:

"Old Li, I heard that people will die if they lose 40% of their blood. I wonder if it is the same for beasts."

After doing all this, Zheng Yingqi ordered his comrades to collect the bodies of the villagers.

The village was in a mess. Even in February, the comrades were still busy sweating.

Suddenly, there was a hurried march outside the village, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.

Zheng Yingqi was about to order a covert withdrawal from the village when Cao Yu came to him and told him that the people coming were a battalion under the 217th Regiment of the Central Army.

After learning that the people coming were friendly forces, Zheng Yingqi breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked the soldiers to remain alert.

But after seeing that the other commander brought a large number of recruits, Zheng Yingqi knew the other party's intention.

Although this was the first time he had seen the Eighth Route Army with such good equipment, the battalion commander did not ask anything.

He just came over, patted Zheng Yingqi on the shoulder, handed him a cigarette, and said sorry in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

After receiving the news, these people did not come here immediately, so they came here for only one purpose.

To train new recruits.

Because many people who joined the preserved fruit army just wanted to eat.

Only a very small number of people joined the army because their family members were killed by Xiao Ri, and they escaped and wanted to take revenge.

These people are very popular in any war zone, because they naturally bring a fierceness when they go to the battlefield.

Even if they are shot several times or pierced by bayonets, they will use their last breath to pull a beast to take the back. Everyone is a ruthless person when fighting.

This is the effect of hatred.

But many other recruits still retain the traditional kindness of the people.

They will be afraid on the battlefield and dare not stab the enemy in front of them with bayonets.

This is really not something that can be changed through simple training. Some recruits would rather starve to death or die than do this.

In enemy-occupied areas, there are often villages that are massacred by beasts.

After the preserved fruit army knows about it, they will gather the recruits and let them collect food for the people.

Let these recruits see the whole village being slaughtered by the beasts.

The first reaction of normal recruits is fear and vomiting when they see the village full of corpses and blood.

Then, under the urging of the superiors, they will cry while working.

These recruits will understand one thing, this hellish scene is not something that humans can create, but those beasts can.

The recruits will gradually change from fear to anger.

After the end, their superiors will say to those recruits.

If you don't dare to fight, when those beasts come to your home, they will kill your family.

Usually after such an experience, the recruits will be ruthless on the battlefield.

I have something to do tomorrow, so I will send it in advance.
