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

"Brothers!"

Li Yunlong spoke, but his voice was not loud.

But every word is clear.

"I've called you all here today because there's something I need to tell you."

The courtyard was very quiet.

More than two hundred pairs of eyes were staring at him.

"At noon today, a scout reported that a Japanese company was discovered five kilometers east of Heifengkou."

"More than two hundred people, five trucks, and the trucks were loaded with supplies."

His words were simple, without any unnecessary embellishment.

"I've decided, let's fight!"

The courtyard remained quiet.

There was no cheering, no commotion.

There was no further reaction.

The soldiers simply listened quietly.

This is what a veteran is like.

They don't get excited and yell just because they hear about war.

They wouldn't tremble with fear just because they heard there were many Japanese soldiers.

They just listened quietly.

Awaiting orders, awaiting the charge.

"but!"

Li Yunlong's voice rose a few decibels.

"You need to understand, this is a Japanese company, not a squad."

"More than two hundred men, well-equipped, with light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and everything else."

"We have over a hundred guns and a thousand rounds of ammunition on our side, but not a single heavy weapon."

His gaze swept across the entire room.

His voice became deep and powerful.

"This battle will not be easy."

"People might die, a lot of people might die."

"You may get hurt, you may die."

"Your comrades may fall beside you."

The air in the courtyard seemed to freeze.

"but!"

Li Yunlong's voice rose again.

"What are we for?"

"We are the Eighth Route Army!"

"We're here to fight the Japanese devils!"

"The Japanese devils occupied our land and killed our elders and fellow villagers. How can we tolerate this?"

"cannot!"

Several soldiers shouted out, their voices not loud, but firm.

"No, you can't!"

Li Yunlong clenched his fist and waved it in the air.

"I don't care how many Japanese soldiers come, or how many guns they have."

"As long as they set foot on our land, as long as they dare to swagger in front of us."

"I'm going to fight them!"

His voice echoed in the courtyard.

"I've fought so many battles over the years, what tough battle haven't I fought?"

"We've climbed snow-capped mountains, crossed grasslands, and rolled through countless bullets."

"What has allowed me to live this long?"

"It all comes down to one word—hard work!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over all the soldiers present.

"We dare to fight the Japanese devils, we dare to fight them to the death, we dare to show our bayonets to them!"

His voice grew increasingly impassioned.

"Brothers, we have nothing now."

"No guns, no cannons, no food, no medicine."

"But we have one advantage that the Japanese can never match."

"We have courage! We have backbone!"

"We are determined to fight the Japanese devils to the bitter end!"

"We're fighting this battle for no other reason than this."

"It's all for the supplies on those five trucks."

"Whatever we're lacking, that vehicle might have it."

"If we win this battle, our First and Second Regiments will be much stronger."

"If we lose, we can just start over!"

He paused for a moment, then his voice suddenly lowered.

"In this battle, I will be at the forefront."

"My command position is right on the front line."

"If I don't back down, none of you are allowed to back down either."

"If I fall, Commander Zhou will take over command."

"Commander Zhou has fallen, Company Commander, take over."

"The company commander has fallen, the platoon leader takes over."

"The platoon leader has fallen, the squad leader takes over."

"The squad leader has fallen, the veteran takes over."

"In short, without orders, no one is allowed to back down!"

His gaze was like a knife, sweeping across the face of every soldier in the entire arena.

"This is Lao Tzu's rule."

He ripped open the collar of his military uniform, revealing his muscular chest.

"I'm putting my words on the table today."

"In this battle, I want to see your fighting spirit and your courage."

"Seeing your courage to fight the Japanese devils to the death."

"Do you dare?"

"dare!"

More than two hundred people answered in unison.

Li Yunlong nodded and jumped down from the rock.

He stepped aside and looked at Zhou Tianyang.

It's Zhou Tianyang's turn.

Zhou Tianyang walked up to the large rock and stood still.

He didn't rush to speak, his gaze sweeping across the soldiers' faces, looking at them one by one.

These soldiers are all good soldiers.

Veterans who came all the way from the Red Army era experienced the most arduous Long March and the most brutal battles.

They are not afraid of death, hardship, or fatigue.

What they fear is the lack of direction and the lack of hope.

"Brothers."

Zhou Tianyang spoke, but his voice was not loud.

But every word is very clear.

"Commander Li just said that we are going to fight a battle."

"Strike at a Japanese company and seize the supplies from those five trucks."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"Commander Li was talking about the spirit of 'Bright Sword'."

"Dare to unsheathe the sword, dare to fight the Japanese devils to the death."

"I won't repeat myself."

His tone calmed down.

"What I'm going to talk to you about today is something else entirely."

His gaze sharpened.

"Do you know how wolves survive?"

The courtyard fell silent.

The soldiers looked at each other, wondering what their commander was going to say.

Wolves live in deep mountains and forests.

"In terms of strength, he is no match for a tiger."

"In terms of speed, it can't compare to a leopard."

"But wolves have a skill that other animals can't match."

"Wolves cooperate, divide tasks, and launch the most lethal attack at the most opportune moment."

Zhou Tianyang's voice was not loud.

But every word seemed to be etched into the hearts of the soldiers.

"A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, a dog travels a thousand miles to eat excrement."

"That's an old saying; you've all heard it before."

"But have you ever wondered why wolves can eat meat?"

"Because it dares to take risks, because it knows how to cooperate, and because it knows what it wants."

"Our Eighth Route Army soldiers cannot be dogs."

"Dogs eat shit, wag their tails, and get beaten."

"We are wolves, we eat meat, we beat people, we strike fear into the hearts of the Japanese devils."

His voice rose a few decibels.

"I'm putting my words here as a warning about this battle."

"We're not going there to die, we're going there to eat meat."

"The Japanese supplies are our flesh."

"We're going to eat every last bit of food from those five trucks!"

"but!"

His tone shifted, becoming serious.

"Eating meat comes at a price."

"Wolves want to eat meat, but they also have to risk being kicked or bitten to death by their prey."

"If we are going to fight this battle, we must also be prepared to make sacrifices."

His gaze swept across the entire room.

"I know you are all veterans."

"Do you know what a battlefield looks like?"

"You know bullets don't have eyes."

"But I want to tell you, today's battle is different from the previous ones."

"Today, we have the opportunity to change this situation."

"As long as we win this battle and capture the supplies in those five trucks, we won't have to live those miserable lives anymore."

"We have food, guns, and ammunition."

"We can recruit more soldiers, expand our forces, and fight bigger battles!"

His voice grew louder and more impassioned.

"Brothers, today's battle is not just about those five truckloads of supplies."

"It's for the future of our new First and Second Regiments."

"It's to give us the confidence to stand firm on this turf."

"It's so that ordinary people can see it."

"Our Eighth Route Army is truly capable of fighting the Japanese devils!"

His voice calmed down.

"Brothers, do you have faith?"

"have!"

More than two hundred people answered in unison, their voices louder and more synchronized than before.

Zhou Tianyang nodded and jumped down from the rock.

Li Yunlong walked up to him and lowered his voice.

"You're better at talking than I am."

Zhou Tianyang smiled.

"It's not that we speak well, it's that we're all saying the same thing."

What you're trying to say is "dare to fight," what I'm trying to say is "want to win."

"Only by daring to fight can you win, and only by winning can you eat meat."

Li Yunlong chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's go, let's set off!"

On the field, more than two hundred soldiers began to prepare their gear.

Check the guns, count the ammunition, tighten the leg wraps, and fasten the belt.

Every movement was clean and efficient, without any unnecessary actions.

These veterans are used to this rhythm.

Once the command is given, the system immediately gets into action.

Zhao Wenlong walked up to Zhou Tianyang and asked in a low voice.

"Commander, are you taking this gun?"

Zhou Tianyang patted the sniper rifle on his back.

"Take it with you."

"Today, I'll show my brothers what it means to take down a Japanese soldier with a single shot."

Zhao Wenlong chuckled.

"Commander, when did you learn such marksmanship?"

"I've never seen you use it before."

Zhou Tianyang did not answer, but only said one sentence.

"You'll know after the war."

Zhao Wenlong did not ask any further questions.

He understands Zhou Tianyang.

If the leader doesn't want to talk about it, there's no point in asking.
