Not enough Japanese devils to kill? 1.4 billion people volunteer for the Battle of Shanghai.

On the mountaintop.

Yao Shoude burst into laughter.

He looked at the soldiers standing on the mountaintop, observing the changes in their eyes.

From shock to shame.

From shame to remembering.

"You little rascals," he said, "have you learned your lesson?"

No one answered.

But everyone was nodding.

Yao Shoude nodded:

Just remember that.

He paused:

"Now--"

"get out of class dismissed."

But just as the words "get out of class dismissed" were uttered...

Lin Yun's gaze suddenly shifted.

She did not look at Yao Shoude.

They didn't look at the lurking guards.

Instead, they looked towards—

Behind those guards.

That deserted rock face, illuminated by the moonlight.

Lei Xiong noticed her gaze.

He followed his gaze.

There was nothing there.

But he knew Lin Yun.

This female pilot never looks at a place without a reason.

Then, he looked over as well.

Jin Sheng looked over.

Li Huai looked over.

Zhou Zhenhai looked over.

One by one.

In groups of people.

All eyes were turned in the same direction.

Yao Shoude frowned.

He suddenly remembered something.

A bad feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.

This mountaineering battle was fought so fiercely.

The army charged.

The navy stormed in.

The air force also rushed in.

but--

There was one small team that never showed up.

It didn't appear from beginning to end.

Rocket Force.

Yao Shoude's pupils suddenly contracted.

He opened his mouth.

I wanted to loudly warn the lurking guards.

I wanted to shout, "Watch out behind you!"

I wanted to shout, "There are still enemies!"

But it was too late.

Because he discovered—

Each of the lurking guards had a red dot shining between their eyebrows.

The red dot on the laser sight.

Precise.

stable.

A motionless red dot.

The garrison troops also discovered it.

They looked down at the red dot between their eyebrows.

stunned.

Someone reached out to touch it.

The red dot moved to my hand.

Someone wants to make a move.

The red dot moves accordingly.

Fast as—

They had been identified long ago.

"Don't move."

A voice came from the night sky.

calm.

Calm and composed.

Everyone looked up.

Look in the direction of the sound.

night sky.

Six figures are slowly rising.

It's not climbing.

It's not a jump.

Yes--

fly.

Thin ropes were tied around their waists.

At the other end of the rope are four drones.

These are wartime drones unique to the Rocket Force.

Hovering in the night sky.

It was buzzing.

Six people were being towed by a drone.

Like six eagles flying at night.

It rises slowly.

We slowly approached the summit.

The moonlight shone on them.

It shone on their faces.

The one shining on their epaulets—

The emblem of a longsword and lightning.

Rocket Force.

Jiang Xingchen stood at the very front.

He put his hands behind his back.

A faint smile was on her face.

That kind of—

I've waited so long, and finally this moment of smiles has arrived.

Behind him, Chen Kongkong and four other team members were also suspended in the air.

They were all holding guns.

Gun barrels were pointed at the lurking guards.

But their guns didn't move.

Because no movement is required.

because--

Those garrison troops have been locked down.

Six people slowly landed on the mountaintop.

They landed outside the encirclement of the lurking garrison.

It landed silently.

Get up.

Stand still.

Six people stood in a row.

Facing those defending troops.

Facing Yao Shoude.

Jiang Xingchen spoke:

"Company Commander Yao."

His voice was very calm.

So calm it was as if it were saying, "The weather's nice today."

"The mantis stalks the cicada—"

"The oriole is unaware of the mantis behind."

Yao Shoude looked at him.

Looking at this Rocket Force captain.

Looking at the five behind him—

The person's eyes are shining right now.

He was stunned for three seconds.

Then he smiled.

He laughed very loudly.

"Ha ha ha ha--!!!"

The laughter echoed on the mountaintop.

"Good lad—!!!"

"What a damn good kid—!!!"

At the same time, the lurking guards were all stunned.

They looked at the red dot between their eyebrows.

Looking at the Rocket Force that suddenly appeared.

Looking at the company commander who was laughing so hard he was doubled over.

Someone couldn't help but shout:

"Company Commander—!!!"

"What's going on?!"

"We're locked out—!!!"

Yao Shoude smiled even more broadly:

"What happened?"

"You've been locked out, and you're asking what happened?"

One of the defenders shouted unwillingly:

"But we hid so well—!!!"

"How did they find out—!!!"

Jiang Xingchen looked at him.

A faint smile:

"You hid it very well."

"But our Rocket Force—"

He pointed to the four drones still circling in the sky:

"We've been on guard against you from the very beginning."

The garrison soldier was stunned.

Look down at yourself.

Then I looked up at the four drones.

He opened his mouth.

What do you want to say?

In the end, he could only manage to utter one sentence:

"Hold……"

Another garrison soldier shouted:

"Then why didn't you come out sooner?!"

"Why wait until now?!"

Jiang Xingchen looked at him:

"because--"

He paused:

"We are waiting."

"Wait until you're all out."

"Wait until you think you've won."

"wait--"

He looked at Yao Shoude:

"Wait until Company Commander Yao utters the words 'Dismissed'."

Yao Shoude's eyes narrowed:

"So, you've been watching from down there the whole time?"

Jiang Xingchen nodded:

"It's always been there."

"In fact, our Rocket Force could have reached the top long ago."

"But we've been waiting."

"We've been down here ever since you started your infiltration."

"Look at you all lying there."

"I'll watch you endure it."

"Looking at you—"

He smiled:

"I held it in for three hours."

One of the guards couldn't help but curse:

"Holy shit!!!"

"Then wouldn't we be—"

Another garrison soldier chimed in:

"We got counter-ganked—!!!"

"I was trying to ambush someone, but I ended up getting ambushed myself!!!"

"This is fucking amazing!!!"

Jiang Xingchen looked at them.

Looking at the garrison soldiers who were just moments ago smug but now looked full of resentment.

He spoke:

"Brothers, don't be angry."

He paused:

"Our Rocket Force has been waiting for this moment—"

"It's been such a long wait."

Chen Kongkong stands next to Jiang Xingchen.

A smile played on his lips.

She remembered what she had been doing down the mountain.

When they saw the guards emerging from the cliff.

She almost shouted it out.

But Jiang Xingchen stopped her.

"Wait," he said. "Wait a little longer."

"Wait until they think they've won."

"Wait until they lower their guard."

"wait--"

"That most opportune moment."

Now, the time has come.

Chen Kongkong looked at the red dots between the eyebrows of the guards.

Looking at the resentment on their faces.

Looking at the complex smile on Yao Shoude's face.

She suddenly felt—

This selection process is so interesting.

It was more interesting than any exercise.

Yao Shoude was also looking at Jiang Xingchen.

Looked for a long time.

Then he spoke:

"The Rocket Force kid."

"What's your name?"

"Jiang Xingchen".

"Jiang Xingchen..." Yao Shoude murmured, "A good name."

He nodded:

"You all learned a good lesson."

"It's even better than what I learned."

Jiang Xingchen shook his head:

"Company Commander Yao, your lesson taught us not to let our guard down."

"Our lesson—"

He looked at the garrison:

"It's to tell you that when the mantis is stalking the cicada, it should also look behind it to see if there's a sparrow unaware of it."

Yao Shoude was taken aback.

Then he smiled.

I laughed so hard I almost cried.

"Good lad... good lad..."

"Jiang Xingchen, I'll remember you."

At this moment, the lurking guards also lowered their guns.

It's not surrender.

Yes--

I admit it.

What's there to say if you get counter-ganked?

A garrison soldier shouted:

"Brothers of the Rocket Force—!!!"

"You guys are amazing!!!"

"I give up!!!"

Another garrison soldier shouted:

"next time--!!!"

"Next time I'll be begging you guys for mercy!!!"

Jiang Xingchen responded with a smile:

"welcome."

"Next time, we'll be waiting."

On the mountaintop.

Those elite soldiers watched this scene unfold.

Watching the Rocket Force descend from the sky.

Looking at the red dots between the brows of the guards.

Watching Yao Shoude and Jiang Xingchen shake hands.

Lei Xiong stood there.

He smiled.

He was laughing very happily.

"That Jiang Xingchen..." he murmured, "He's really good at hiding his true abilities."

Zhou Zhenhai also smiled:

"The Rocket Force... is indeed different."

Jin Sheng scratched his head:

"Damn it, our army is fighting desperately at the front, while they're just waiting to pick up the scraps at the back."

Li Huai adjusted his glasses:

"This isn't a bargain."

"This is--"

He paused:

"Strategic patience."

Lin Yun stood there.

Looking at Jiang Xingchen.

Looking at the six drones that were still circling.

She said softly:

"interesting."

"That's really interesting."

"The Air Force has the eyes of an eagle."

"The Rocket Force has—"

She thought about it:

"The patience of a wolf."

Zhang Liang asked in a low voice:

"Captain Lin, is our Air Force... falling behind?"

Lin Yun glanced at him:

"What are we comparing?"

"They are all Chinese soldiers."

"If they win, then we win."
