Holding the original shares, they fought all the way to the Korean War!

Zhou Tianyang turned around and walked out of the village gate, heading back along the mountain path.

When we returned to Lijia Yu, it was already past noon.

As soon as he entered the regimental headquarters courtyard, Tian Chengjun ran over from the training field.

"Commander, Zhao Wenlong has sent someone back."

Zhou Tianyang's eyes lit up slightly.

Where are they?

"They're waiting at the regimental headquarters."

Zhou Tianyang strode into the regimental headquarters.

A soldier stood inside the room, his face showing signs of weariness from the journey.

Upon seeing Zhou Tianyang enter, he immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Commander!"

"Please sit down."

Zhou Tianyang pointed to the chair and sat down at the table.

"How's Zhao Wenlong doing?"

The soldier did not sit down, but stood and reported.

"Commander, the battalion commander asked me to come back and tell you that the recruitment is progressing very smoothly."

His voice was filled with undisguised excitement.

"The people were very enthusiastic when they heard that the Eighth Route Army was recruiting soldiers to fight the Japanese."

As Zhou Tianyang listened, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"How many people have you hired?"

The soldier thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"The battalion commander didn't give specific figures."

"But he asked me to tell you that it's much better than he expected."

"I'll definitely give the team leader a surprise when I get back on June 5th."

Zhou Tianyang nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

"Any further news?"

"have."

The soldier's expression turned serious.

"The battalion commander said that the Japanese troops in the Yushe area to the north have been very active recently, as if they are preparing for some big operation."

"He warned you to be on high alert, lest the Japanese suddenly launch a raid."

Zhou Tianyang frowned slightly.

Yushe is located north of Lijia Yu, only about a hundred miles away.

If the Japanese are making any moves there, we definitely need to be on high alert.

"I see."

Zhou Tianyang nodded and looked at the soldier.

"Go back and tell Zhao Wenlong to be careful."

"Recruiting soldiers is a big deal, but the safety of the soldiers is even more important."

"If you encounter the Japanese, fight if you can, run if you can't, don't fight head-on."

"yes!"

The soldier stood at attention, saluted, turned around, and strode out.

Zhou Tianyang sat at the table, his fingers tapping lightly on the surface.

Are the Japanese troops in Yushe making any moves?

What kind of action is it?

Sweep away?

He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with an answer.

Forget it, let's wait until Zhao Wenlong comes back before we talk about it.

The most important thing right now is what's happening in Taiyuan.

The following afternoon.

Zhou Tianyang summoned Tian Chengjun to the regimental headquarters.

Tian Chengjun pushed open the door and walked in, standing at attention.

"Commander, you wanted to see me?"

"Please sit down."

Zhou Tianyang pointed to the chair opposite him.

Tian Chengjun sat down, his gaze fixed on Zhou Tianyang's face, waiting for him to speak.

"Chengjun, I'm leaving tonight."

Tian Chengjun leaned forward slightly, his expression turning serious.

"Commander, please take care on your journey."

"After all, the Taiyuan area was Japanese-occupied territory..."

"I know."

Zhou Tianyang interrupted him, his tone calm.

"That's why I'm having you stay at the regimental headquarters and keep an eye on things."

"If anyone comes looking for me, no matter who it is, I will turn them away."

"yes!"

Tian Chengjun stood at attention and answered firmly.

Zhou Tianyang looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then continued.

"If we encounter an emergency and can't hold them off, we should retreat into the mountains and go to Black Wind Village."

"The terrain there is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the food and ammunition are plentiful. Holding out for ten days or half a month should not be a problem."

Tian Chengjun listened and nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Tianyang nodded, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.

"Alright, that's all."

"Go ahead and get busy."

Tian Chengjun stood up, saluted, and turned to walk towards the door.

When I got to the door.

He turned back and looked at Zhou Tianyang.

"Commander, please take care."

Zhou Tianyang smiled and waved his hand.

"Go."

Tian Chengjun turned around and strode out.

Zhou Tianyang sat at the table and remained silent for a long time.

Then, he went back to the inner room and began to pack his things.

There's really not much to tidy up.

I put a few changes of clothes into a cloth bag.

Then, he picked up the sniper rifle, which was wrapped in old cloth, from the inside of the bed.

Zhou Tianyang rewrapped the sniper rifle.

Then, he began communicating with the system.

"System, store the sniper rifle and clothing into the system space."

[Confirmed the M1C Garand semi-automatic sniper rifle and 5 pieces of clothing have been stored in the system space.]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."

A glimmer of light flashed by.

The sniper rifle and the cloth bag vanished into thin air, as if they had never existed.

Then he changed into ordinary clothes before coming out of the inner room.

Walk through the regimental headquarters courtyard and reach the gate.

The courtyard was empty; there were no sentries.

Tian Chengjun was training on the threshing ground, and no one noticed the commotion at the regimental headquarters.

Zhou Tianyang stood at the gate of the courtyard and took one last look at Lijia Yu.

The chants continued on the threshing floor.

He turned around and strode out of the village.

Instead of taking the dirt road at the village entrance, we left the village via a small path on the side.

That path leads to the mountains and forests behind the village, and few people usually walk on it.

Zhou Tianyang walked along the mountain path with light steps and a calm expression.

He was not carrying any weapons or luggage.

From the outside, he looks like an ordinary person walking on a mountain road.

But only he knew that his system space contained a sniper rifle capable of taking lives.

After walking for about half an hour, he crossed the first ridge.

Standing on the ridge, he turned around and looked in the direction of Lijia Yu.

The village has become very small, and the shouts from the threshing ground can no longer be heard.

Zhou Tianyang turned around and continued walking forward.

His direction was northwest.

Heading towards Taiyuan.

The mountain road became narrower and more rugged.

But Zhou Tianyang's pace did not slow down at all.

His physical limits allowed him to traverse such mountain paths as if they were flat ground.

After walking for about two hours, it got completely dark.

Zhou Tianyang stopped and stood on a mountain ridge.

In the distance, several villages can be seen.

But he doesn't plan to go into the village.

His goal for tonight was to reach a place about fifty miles from Lijia Yu and then find a place to spend the night.

We'll continue our journey early tomorrow morning.

It's about 200 li from Lijia Yu to Taiyuan.

If you walk fast, it will take three days to get there.

There is plenty of time, but we can't waste it.

Zhou Tianyang continued walking forward.

After walking for about an hour, we continued on.

He found a place suitable for spending the night.

It was a large rock, sheltered from the wind, with a clump of bushes next to it.

Zhou Tianyang sat down next to the big rock and took out dry food and a water bottle from his system space.

The dry food was cornbread, as hard as a rock.

But in these days, it's good enough to have this to eat.

He broke off a piece, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Then he took another sip of water and swallowed the dry rations.

After finishing his dry rations, he put the water bottle into his system space, then leaned against a rock and closed his eyes.

He didn't sleep; he just closed his eyes to rest.

In this day and age, in this place, a person spending the night in the mountains cannot sleep too soundly.

In case of wolves or other wild animals, we must be prepared to deal with them at any time.

He was still thinking about Taiyuan.

A dozen minutes later.

Zhou Tianyang opened his eyes and looked at the stars in the sky.

He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Then, he closed his eyes again and began to conserve his energy.

We still have to travel tomorrow.
