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

That morning, it was just dawn.

Zhou Tianyang then woke up.

He put on his military uniform and adjusted his belt.

He tucked the Mauser pistol into his waistband and picked up the sniper rifle wrapped in old cloth.

We arrived at the threshing ground.

Zhao Wenlong is taking inventory of the supplies.

Several mule carts were parked there, loaded with wooden crates.

"Commander!"

Upon seeing Zhou Tianyang approaching, Zhao Wenlong quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Are all the supplies packed?"

Zhou Tianyang walked to the mule cart and glanced at the wooden crates.

"It's installed."

Zhao Wenlong began to read them aloud one by one.

"Three hundred Hanyang rifles and old-fashioned rifles."

"One mortar, with fifty shells."

"Fifty thousand bullets."

"And canned goods, twenty boxes."

He looked at Zhou Tianyang.

"Captain, that's all."

Zhou Tianyang nodded and walked to the mule cart.

He reached out and patted the wooden crates, then turned around.

"First Company, assemble!"

Tian Chengjun stepped out of the line and stood at the front.

One hundred and twelve soldiers responded and stood in formation.

"Comrades, let's go to the New First Regiment's camp today and meet up with Regiment Commander Li."

Zhou Tianyang stood at the front of the line, his gaze sweeping across the entire area.

"With so much stuff on the way, we can't afford any mistakes."

"Especially be careful with that mortar and its shells."

"Did you understand?"

"clear!"

More than a hundred people answered in unison.

Zhou Tianyang nodded, turned around, and looked at Zhao Wenlong.

"Wenlong, I'm leaving the family to you."

"Training cannot stop, and new recruits cannot slack off."

"Also, we need to strengthen the sentry posts."

"We won a great victory and captured so much stuff. The Japanese might retaliate."

"yes!"

Zhao Wenlong stood at attention and saluted.

"Don't worry, Commander, I'll definitely keep a close watch on the base!"

Zhou Tianyang patted him on the shoulder and turned to walk towards the group.

"Set off!"

He waved his hand and strode towards the village entrance.

Tian Chengjun followed behind, leading a company of soldiers.

Six mule carts, each pulled by two soldiers.

We slowly drove out of Lijia Yu.

The mountain road was winding and full of potholes.

The mule cart swayed and rocked as it traveled on it.

Zhou Tianyang walked in the middle of the group, his steps light and quick.

Tian Chengjun walked to his side and asked in a low voice.

"Commander, where is Commander Li's base?"

Stone Mill Village.

Zhou Tianyang looked ahead and pointed northeast.

"Starting from our Lijia Yu, head northeast."

"After crossing a mountain ridge, and walking along a mountain path, you'll arrive."

"It's about an hour's journey."

Tian Chengjun nodded and said nothing more.

The group continued moving forward.

It took about half an hour to walk.

The sun slowly rose from the eastern mountain ridge.

The light shines on the distant mountains.

Zhou Tianyang stopped and stood on a mountain ridge.

Looking into the distance.

Ahead lay a series of mountains and ravines.

The mountains stretch as far as the eye can see.

Once you cross that ridge, you'll be heading towards Shinian Village.

"Speed ​​up!"

Zhou Tianyang turned around and shouted to the team.

The team sped up.

The soldiers began to march.

The mule cart also sped up.

We walked for another forty minutes.

The team crossed the mountain ridge.

A village appeared ahead.

The village is nestled in a mountain valley and is not large.

Thirty or forty households live in houses built against the mountainside.

At the village entrance, several sentries stood guard.

"Commander, we've arrived."

Tian Chengjun stopped in his tracks.

Zhou Tianyang nodded and strode towards the village.

The sentry at the village entrance spotted them from afar.

"Commander Zhou, Commander Li is waiting for you at the regimental headquarters."

"I'll have someone take you there."

He turned around and called out to those behind him.

"Xiao Zhang, take Commander Zhou to the regimental headquarters!"

A young soldier ran over.

"Commander Zhou, come with me."

Zhou Tianyang nodded and followed the soldier into the village.

Tian Chengjun, along with a company of soldiers and mule carts, followed behind.

The layout of Shinian Village is similar to that of Lijia Yu.

In the middle of the village, there is a large courtyard.

Two sentries stood at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Commander Zhou, this is the regimental headquarters."

The soldier stopped and pointed to the courtyard.

Zhou Tianyang nodded and strode inside.

In the courtyard, Li Yunlong was squatting on a stone stool.

He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth and squinted.

Upon seeing Zhou Tianyang enter, he abruptly stood up.

"Zhou Xiaogui, you've finally arrived!"

He strode up to Zhou Tianyang and slapped him on the shoulder.

"I've been waiting for you all morning!"

"A little over an hour on the road, that's not a long time, is it?"

Zhou Tianyang smiled, not caring at all.

"Did you bring everything?"

Li Yunlong glanced outside the courtyard and saw the wooden boxes on the mule cart.

"I brought it all, nothing was missing."

Zhou Tianyang spoke casually.

Li Yunlong walked over and picked up an old rifle from the box.

He pulled back the bolt, looked at it, and then smelled it.

"That's a good gun."

He sighed and put the gun down.

"Although it's old, it still works."

"Send it to the brigade headquarters; the brigade commander will definitely be pleased."

He stood up and clapped his hands.

Then he turned around and shouted into the house.

"Wang Desheng!"

"arrive!"

A man in his thirties ran out of the house and stood at attention.

He was the battalion commander of the New First Regiment, and he came from the 772nd Regiment with Li Yunlong.

"Load our regiment's share of the weapons onto the truck as well."

"yes!"

Wang Desheng stood at attention, saluted, and then ran towards the warehouse of the New First Regiment.

Li Yunlong squatted back down on the stone pier.

He took out a cigarette case from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.

He struck a match, lit it, and took a deep drag.

"Hey Zhou kid, come on, I'll take you to see the New First Regiment's base."

"Let me show you what a real feng shui treasure land is like."

Zhou Tianyang also lit a cigarette and stood up.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

The two walked out of the courtyard, one after the other.

Li Yunlong walked ahead, taking long strides.

They explained things as they walked.

"Look at this village, nestled against the mountains and facing the water, it's easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"The small river at the entrance of the village serves as both a water source and a natural barrier."

"If the Japanese devils come from the front, we'll drive them back across the river."

Zhou Tianyang nodded, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.

It is indeed a good place.

The terrain is even better than that of Lijia Yu.

The two walked along the dirt road in the village.

Li Yunlong pointed to a row of houses by the roadside.

"This is the garrison of the First Battalion of the New First Regiment, where those two hundred people live."

"Further ahead is the training ground."

The two walked to the east end of the village.

There is a large open space here, as big as three or four basketball courts.

On the open ground, the soldiers of the New First Regiment were training.

"How is it?"

Li Yunlong stood with his hands on his hips, his face full of smugness.

"Isn't this place of mine pretty good?"

"good."

Zhou Tianyang nodded and said sincerely.

"It's better than I expected."

Li Yunlong chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's go and see some other places."

The two then took another stroll around the village.

Walk from the east end of the village to the west end, and from the south end of the village to the north end.

Li Yunlong introduced the place as he walked.

Where is it suitable to defend, and where is it suitable to retreat?

He spoke very logically and persuasively.

Zhou Tianyang listened, nodding occasionally.

Li Yunlong was a man who had a knack for both fighting and choosing locations to garrison.

Shinian Village is indeed a well-chosen location.
