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

Tanaka Ichiro's gaze swept over them, and his voice rose a few decibels.

"That group of Eighth Route Army soldiers is still heading west. They can't move fast because they're carrying so much captured supplies."

"The main force of the wing is on its way; our mission is to hold them off."

"Send the location coordinates to the corps every so often."

"If we can hold them off until the wing arrives, there's still a chance to turn this game around."

His gaze sharpened, and his voice deepened.

"If they get away, then all the people who died today will have died in vain."

No one hesitated anymore.

The soldiers who had been slumped on the ground stood up one after another and checked the guns in their hands.

The wounded soldiers were also put back on their backs.

The team regrouped within minutes.

Although the formation is still loose, and although there are only so many people left.

But the panic that followed the collapse had largely subsided.

Tanaka Ichiro walked at the front of the group, his steps becoming steady and powerful again.

He took a few steps, glanced back at the forest behind him, then looked away and strode forward.

at the same time.

Zhou Tianyang's team is advancing rapidly in the westward direction.

The soldiers' steps were much heavier than usual.

Each person was carrying a load far exceeding their normal carrying capacity.

Some people had two or three Type 38 rifles strapped to their backs.

Some people carried light machine guns with their handles on their shoulders, the gun barrels wrapped with strips of cloth.

Several people were carrying a Type 92 heavy machine gun.

Some people carried the ammunition boxes in pairs.

Ma Yong walked in the middle of the column, carrying a light machine gun on his shoulder and his waist was crammed full of bullets.

He turned his head and glanced at a guard platoon soldier next to him who was carrying an ammunition box and was sweating profusely, and asked a question.

"Can it hold on?"

The soldier grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and answered while panting heavily.

"Platoon leader, no problem. This stuff is much lighter than the weights we carry for the five-kilometer run in our regiment."

Ma Yong chuckled and cursed.

"Stop fucking bragging. That box of bullets you have weighs at least 60 or 70 pounds. Can you carry that much for five kilometers?"

The soldier chuckled and said nothing more.

But the pace did not slow down.

Zhou Tianyang walked towards the back of the group, his steps light and steady.

He wasn't carrying much, just his sniper rifle and a water bottle.

But his gaze never left the road ahead and the terrain on both sides.

Every now and then, he would turn his head to look behind him.

Once you're sure no pursuers are following, continue forward.

After walking for about half an hour.

The group stopped on the back of a mountain ridge.

Ma Yong turned back from the front, placed the light machine gun on a roadside stone, and wiped his sweat.

"Commander, let's take a break. Many people are about to give up."

Zhou Tianyang's gaze swept over the line.

Indeed, many soldiers' steps had begun to falter.

"Then let's rest for twenty minutes."

Zhou Tianyang withdrew his gaze and sat down on a flat stone by the roadside.

He silently recited a sentence in his mind.

"System, open my properties panel."

The familiar light screen in my mind slowly unfolded.

All the data were clearly displayed before my eyes.

Zhou Tianyang's gaze lingered on the points section.

Two hundred and two thousand six hundred and seventy-seven points.

Today, in the two ambushes at the mountain pass and Qingyunling, the Japanese lieutenant colonel was the one who gained the most kills.

In addition, there are the points awarded to lieutenants, second lieutenants, sergeants, corporals, and ordinary soldiers.

All in all, I gained nearly 10,000 points.

Zhou Tianyang looked at the number and felt a mix of excitement and unease.

Two hundred thousand points is indeed a very considerable number.

However, the rate at which battles consume points is also very real.

After arriving at the new Second Regiment, they still needed to change the uniforms for Deng Chen's more than 300 men.

Each person needs at least 6,000 points to get an M1 Garand.

There are also matching bullets, machine guns, mortars, and subsequent physique enhancement fluids and skill inheritance cards.

It was all built up from points.

Two hundred thousand sounds like a lot, but if we really want to improve the equipment and personnel quality of the new Second Regiment to a higher level in a short period of time...

Spending 200,000 points won't be too slow.

However, Zhou Tianyang still breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At least for the next few months.

There's no need to worry too much about the points system.

He turned off the panel, looked at Deng Chen, and spoke with a calm and confident tone.

"Once you arrive at the new Second Regiment, you will all be equipped with American gear. These Type 38 rifles will be used as spares."

Deng Chen's eyes lit up slightly, but he didn't ask any more questions, he just nodded.

"it is good."

Zhou Tianyang sat on the rock and glanced back at the direction behind him.

Experience told him that something was wrong.

More than an hour has passed since he led his team away from Qingyunling.

Given the Japanese's nature, they wouldn't let such a huge loss go unpunished.

They were either too scared to pursue them, or they were plotting revenge.

But based on Zhou Tianyang's understanding of these Japanese soldiers...

They shouldn't give up so easily.

He stood up, his gaze still fixed in that direction.

Deng Chen seemed to notice his unusual behavior.

He walked quickly over from the group and asked in a low voice.

"Commander, what's wrong?"

Zhou Tianyang remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"It's nothing, it just feels a little off."

Zhou Tianyang withdrew his gaze, turned around, and shouted in the direction of the group.

"Ma Yong!"

"arrive!"

Ma Yong quickly ran over from the front of the group.

"Take ten men and go back five miles along the way you came."

"Check if there are any tails following behind. If you find anything, don't attack, come back and report immediately."

"yes!"

Ma Yong didn't ask any further questions. He turned around, selected ten soldiers, and they returned along the mountain path.

They quickly disappeared around the bend in the mountain road.

Zhou Tianyang sat back down on the rock, his gaze still fixed on that direction.

Deng Chen squatted down next to him, remained silent for a while, and then spoke.

"Commander, do you suspect the Japanese are following us?"

"It's not a doubt, it's that I think it's possible."

"We've decimated a large battalion, and if the remaining remnants are determined to pursue us, they'll be quite a nuisance."

Zhou Tianyang paused for a moment, as if he was carefully considering his words.

"Besides, it would be fine if they were just remnants of the army."

"But what if they are the ones asking for help?"

"If we send reinforcements, things will be different."

Deng Chen frowned slightly, but did not speak.

He also gazed in that direction, remaining silent.
