The soldiers were instantly stunned.

They had just engaged the enemy and taken several hits from their artillery fire, and now they were being asked to withdraw?

The enemy doesn't look very strong.

But an order is an order, and most of the soldiers in the Third Company were not novices.

The veterans decisively and quickly put away their weapons and took the lead, dividing into several combat groups to take turns providing cover as they retreated.

Squad Leader Shi even slowed down by half a beat and turned his head to look at Brother Kuang.

He thought this loud and hot-tempered recruit would jump up and charge again with his gun.

As a result, Crazy Brother just stared at the firelight behind him and retreated step by step with his carbine in hand.

Furthermore, every time he stopped to provide cover, he always managed to get stuck at a perfectly good point in his escape route...

Squad Leader Shi felt something was wrong again; he hadn't taught this before.

Why is this kid so skilled?!

Squad Leader Shi glanced at Kuang Ge a few times, but couldn't help praising him directly.

"Little Crazy, impressive! You retreated faster than a rabbit!"

"I thought you'd act impulsively and just charge forward with a gun."

After listening, Kuang Ge smiled, changed his crouching position, fired two short bursts behind him, and then replied in a low voice.

"Sergeant Shi, we soldiers obey orders; it's our duty... Acting impulsively will only kill our own brothers."

"Charge when it's time to charge, retreat when it's time to retreat. Even though we're new recruits, we know we can't dawdle!"

Sergeant Shi was taken aback, feeling even more strange. These words didn't sound like something a new recruit would say.

Before, the old teacher gave him the air of an old class leader, so why does this little rascal suddenly give him the air of a class leader too?

Can't all the new recruits he's leading be squad leader material?

Seeing the close-up of Squad Leader Shi's astonishment in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream, one could tell that Squad Leader Shi was bewildered again.

If they knew what Squad Leader Shi was thinking, they would burst into laughter.

Among the four members of the Madman group, the lowest-ranking soldier is probably Eagle Eye, the deputy squad leader... cough cough...

Anyway, during his years as a squad leader in the War of Resistance, Brother Kuang had long since learned that when charging forward, one must follow orders, and when retreating, one must consider one's chance of survival.

Because these are all lessons learned in blood!

The three companies retreated in an orderly fashion along the ridge, taking turns, and soon disappeared into the denser forest.

After the Southern Dynasty army stabilized their position, they mustered their courage and charged up the high ground.

All that remained on the hilltop were empty shell casings, blasted soil, and a forest torn apart by artillery fire.

Several flares rose into the night sky, their pale light illuminating the mountain ridge.

The Southern Dynasty army hid behind armored vehicles and opened fire triumphantly into the empty forest.

"Oh, the Northern Korean army has run away again!"

"Useless trash! If you're so tough, don't hide!"

"Let me tell you, the road ahead is entirely blocked by the Allied forces; there's no way to escape now!"

The laughter from the enemy positions grew louder and louder.

The Third Company retreated behind the pine trees. Kuang Ge rubbed his ears, which were numb from the gunfire, and turned his head to look at the company's translator.

"What are they shouting?"

The translator crouched down and crawled to the company commander's side. After listening for a while, his expression turned somewhat strange.

"They used loudspeakers to curse the North Korean People's Army, saying that the North Korean army were all spineless cowards who would run away at the sound of artillery fire."

Everyone chuckled upon hearing this, and wasn't angry at all.

After all, it was the North Korean People's Army that was being criticized, what does it have to do with the Chinese People's Volunteer Army?

The company commander laughed after hearing this, patting his unmarked khaki uniform.

"The more they think we are defeated soldiers from the Northern Dynasty, the more useful our clothes will be."

"Hehe, let's just let them keep cursing."

"The louder they curse, the more it shows they haven't figured it out."

"If they find out the other side has been changed, wouldn't all those North Korean military uniforms we wore before entering Korea be wasted?"

As the company commander finished speaking, a burst of laughter echoed through the pine forest.

They have withdrawn from the fighting area as ordered, and now they can see the entrance to Da Cai Dong Village across the valley.

"Yes, let's just let them keep cursing."

Since the criticism was directed at the North Korean army, Kuang Ge felt no pressure at all.

"By daylight tomorrow, these people will realize that the Northern Dynasty troops they thought were easy to bully have long since been replaced by tough nuts to crack!"

Hawkeye suddenly spoke up, his voice laced with amusement.

"Yes, arrogance is the best target."

"At least their sentry posts weren't even deployed more than a hundred meters away."

Upon hearing this, Kuang Ge and his group immediately looked over and saw a cluster of car lights shining outside Da Cai Dong Village, causing the gravel to tremble.

More than twenty dark green heavy tanks and self-propelled artillery vehicles swaggered along the dirt road into Da Cai Dong.

These steel behemoths made no attempt to conceal themselves, marching straight into the village in a single file, as if they were certain that no other forces in the area could threaten them.

What made Kuang Ge and his group look even stranger was that there were trucks all behind the tank.

Hundreds of ten-wheeled trucks, fully loaded with supplies and infantry, drove along the mountain road into Da Cai Dong, blocking the entrance to the village.

Then the Southern Dynasty soldiers jumped out of the wagon bed, dismantled the wooden fences left by the villagers, and set up cooking pots and fires.

The fires quickly lit up, showing that they really didn't consider themselves outsiders at all.

Even the smoke drifted in on the night breeze, and the soldiers of the Third Company could smell what they were cooking in their pots.

Squad Leader Shi lay down behind the pine tree roots and watched for a long time before muttering a curse.

"I've never seen a camp set up like this in all these years of fighting."

"The fire is burning brighter than the stoves in the village; are they afraid we won't be able to find them?"

Several soldiers nearby were trying not to laugh.

The company commander patted Squad Leader Shi on the shoulder, signaling everyone to remain quiet.

He looked at the village entrance and the hillsides on both sides again.

"The enemy is in the open, while we are in the dark. If we were only facing the Northern Dynasty army, we wouldn't be so arrogant. But they've run into us."

"In short, the more they treat this place like their own backyard, the easier it is for us!"

The company commander waved to the communications officer.

"Make a clear record of the number of tanks, artillery, and trucks, and send them back to the regimental headquarters immediately."

"The commander was just worried about not being able to find their main force; now he can prepare a big gift for the enemy!"

Soon, the 360th Regiment command post received the reconnaissance information.

But the radio inside the room was still just static, indicating that they had lost contact with the division headquarters.

"Commander, we're not receiving orders or sending out reports right now. Should we wait?"
