Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 37 The Late Preserved Fruit Troops

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

 Because it was necessary to avoid the Japanese as much as possible and march in a concealed manner, most of the routes planned by the staff for the spy company were mountain roads.

It was snowing heavily and the march was almost in the dark, so the soldiers' burdens were not light.

The troops have not experienced non-combat attrition, which is enough to prove that they are the elite among the elite.

Zheng Yingqi rubbed his cold left hand, took out his pocket watch from the pocket of his cotton-padded jacket and checked the time.

Even though it was already past seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was still gray and there was no sign of the sun rising at all.

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

Zheng Yingqi used hand gestures to order everyone to rest where they were, while he and Li Yunlong checked whether the current route was correct.

 The eyes of the two people who had worked hard all night seemed to have lost a bit of spirituality.

“Old Zheng, judging from our current speed, we will reach Xiaowang Village in almost three kilometers.”

Li Yunlong sucked in the snot that was about to flow out, and wiped away a handful of tears that were frozen. As a southerner, his performance throughout the night was a bit poor.

He was tortured by the biting cold wind all night. The cold air caused his nasolacrimal ducts to shrink, and his tears could not stop flowing.

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

“Comrades, please hold on a little longer and wait until you reach the village before eating. After drinking snow water all night, your stomach will not be able to bear it.”

 The Xiaowang Village that the special agent company is about to arrive can be described in one sentence.

Loyal bones are buried everywhere, monuments are built on every mountain, every family has lived in the Eighth Route Army, and every household has had soldiers from the Eighth Route Army. This is the most true portrayal of this village.

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

The comrades continued to advance for forty-five minutes. When they were about to see the village, Zheng Yingqi stopped everyone's progress.

Although he only had one eye left, his eyesight was not bad. Walking at the front of the team, he saw the dancing firelight in the distance.

 Everyone present is a veteran, and they naturally understand what is happening ahead.

 Think of the enthusiastic villagers in the past, the kind-faced old people, and the lovely children.

 Even an elite company of secret agents can barely maintain their sanity.

Zheng Yingqi firmly grabbed Li Yunlong, who was about 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 happens, everyone must be back within fifteen minutes!”

 The scouts set out immediately after receiving the order. Because they did not know how many enemies there were, the atmosphere in the team was colder than the cold wind in February.

Every minute and every second at this time was very painful, 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 firearms, Cao Yu believed that there was currently a detachment of Japs in the village.

 Except for two who were standing guard, the rest of the Japanese were in the largest house in the village.

Li Yunlong tried his best to keep his eyes wide open. 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. eye for eye!

“We will bring war to their land, their people, their blood.”

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

 Obviously, the two Japs on guard were the lowest beasts on the food chain in their unit.

 A night's work left them listless and breathless.

Zheng Yingqi and Li Yunlong appeared from their blind spot and approached the two beasts quietly.

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

The force of this stab was so great that if the two of them had not turned their heads, they would have hurt themselves. Seeing that they succeeded easily, the soldiers hiding in various places appeared one after another with weapons.

 Zheng Yingqi clicked on a squad of soldiers and signaled the others to stay alert.

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

More than twenty shots of shell guns were heard from inside the house. After ten full minutes, Zheng Yingqi led the soldiers out.

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

"Old Li, I heard that people will die after losing 40% of their blood. I wonder if the same is true for animals."

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

The village was in a mess, and even though it was February, the comrades were still busy and sweating profusely.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid marching came from outside the village, and it sounded like there were a lot of people.

Just as Zheng Yingqi was about to order a concealed withdrawal from the village, Cao Yu came to him and told him that the person coming was a battalion of the 217th Regiment of the Central Army.

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

But after seeing the other party's commander bringing a large number of new soldiers, Zheng Yingqi knew the other party's intention.

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

He just came over, patted Zheng Yingqi's shoulder, smoked a cigarette, and said sorry in a voice that was almost inaudible.

These people did not come here immediately after receiving the news, so there is only one purpose for coming here now.

  Train new recruits.

 Because there are many people who join the preserved fruit army just for a bite to eat.

Only a very small number of people joined the army because they wanted revenge after their family members were killed by Xiaori and they escaped.

These people are very popular no matter which war zone they are in, because they naturally bring a fierceness to them when they go to the battlefield.

Even if you are shot several times or pierced by a bayonet, you still have to use your last breath to pull a beast on its back. Everyone is a ruthless person in a fight.

 This is the function of hatred.

  But other than that, many recruits still retain the traditional kindness of ordinary people.

 They will be afraid when they go to the battlefield and dare not stab the enemy in front of them with a bayonet.

This cannot be changed through simple training. Some recruits would rather starve to death or die themselves than do this.

 In enemy-occupied areas, a village would often be massacred by animals.

After the preserved fruit troops know about it, they will gather the new recruits and let them be harvested by the common people.

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

  Normally, when recruits see a village full of corpses and rivers of blood, their first reaction is fear and vomiting.

 Then, at the urging of the superior, he would cry and work at the same time.

These recruits will understand one thing. This hell-like scene on earth cannot be created by humans, but those beasts can.

  The recruits' initial fear will gradually turn into anger.

 After finishing, their commander will talk to the new recruits.

If you dare not fight for a while, when the beasts come to your house, they will kill your family members.

 Generally, after recruits have such experience, they will be ruthless on the battlefield.

  If you have something to do tomorrow, send it in advance
