The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Yang Dalin also marked the locations where landmines had been cleared on the map.

We guarantee that when we strike, we will be like a divine army descending from the heavens, giving the enemy a profound shock.

Yang Dalin had completed his reconnaissance of the entire eastern front, and there was nothing else to do for the time being.

The division commander told him to rest for a few days, but he didn't want to be idle, so he continued to advance the reconnaissance deeper into the territory.

The division commander summarized all the information he had gathered and reported it to his superiors.

Upon receiving such detailed intelligence, the superiors asked the division commander where it came from.

The division commander reported Yang Dalin's situation.

Not long after, Yang Dalin was sent to the western front.

They didn't let him drive because driving would take too much time and the roads were very difficult to travel. The military region directly dispatched a military aircraft to take Yang Dalin there.

The surrounding environment on the western front was much harsher.

It's all high-altitude glacier terrain.

In some places, strong winds blow all year round.

It's different from the subtropical climate on the eastern side, which has mountains, rivers, and forests.

The environment here is really terrible.

Yang Dalin wanted to go hunting to supplement the local soldiers' nutrition, but he estimated that it would be difficult to find prey.

Moreover, the enemy has not occupied much of our territory.

It's not that we won't fight just because they've occupied a small amount of our territory.

The environment here is too harsh, and both sides are under great logistical pressure, especially us.

The other side is slightly better off than us. If it weren't for the steep mountains and harsh environment, Yang Dalin estimated that the other side might have occupied even more of our territory.

When Yang Dalin arrived, he was welcomed by the local leaders.

Let him get used to the environment, and then ask him if he can find out all the enemy's military deployments, just like on the eastern front. As for whether he can bring back some food, the superiors here are very understanding and say that there is no need to worry about these things. Just find out the enemy's deployment.

Yang Dalin looked at the thin soldiers who, even before winter had arrived, were bundled up in thick cotton-padded coats and hats, their faces red from the cold and their lips chapped.

He volunteered, "Don't worry, sir, I can adapt to the environment. I'm in good physical condition, no problem. I'll set off today."

Not only will they be able to scout out the enemy's deployment, but they will also bring back some of the enemy's food supplies.

Please rest assured, sir.

However, it might take a while; I want to do some more reconnaissance.

"Okay, okay, the environment here is a bit poor, but I can give you more time. No problem, don't worry about the food."

We still have grain reserves.

Your first task is to find out the enemy's intelligence; it's okay if you can't get the food.

I've had the cooks prepare some meat and grain for you. Have a meal to recover your strength, and take some more with you as provisions tomorrow."

How could Yang Dalin possibly eat the meat that the other party had gone to so much trouble to gather?

It doesn't take much effort to transport a small amount of meat from China to here.

It could also lead to the sacrifice of soldiers in the transport unit along the way.

Therefore, Yang Dalin firmly stated that he did not need it and that he could go over there and make his own food.

Let's leave these good things for the patients.

After saying that, Yang Dalin quickly set off with his gun.

Yang Dalin was taken to the edge of the control line by the soldiers on this side.

I told him the password he needed to give when he returned.

Yang Dalin then embarked on a new journey.

Over the next few days, Yang Dalin gathered a great deal of intelligence.

They also stole a significant amount of grain and meat reserves from the enemy's rear area.

Yang Dalin has not touched the supplies at the enemy's front lines for the time being.

Because it was a self-defense counterattack, the war was started by the other side. After our initial warnings and diplomatic efforts proved ineffective, we launched a counterattack.

This is called having a legitimate reason for launching an attack.

If the enemy's frontline troops stop attacking due to lack of supplies, Yang Dalin will have to continue waiting.

Therefore, Yang Dalin moved few supplies from the front lines, but he was quite ruthless with the supplies in the enemy's rear.

Yang Dalin couldn't reveal everything at once, so he hid it in some secluded caves and then drew up a map to inform the local leaders.

Just say you discovered the enemy hiding there.

When we send the goods over, we can just bring them back.

Otherwise, it would be too terrifying if Yang Dalin released tens of thousands of tons of supplies at once.

It's hard to explain.

If they say it was hidden by the enemy, even if the leaders are confused, it won't be easy for them to investigate.

After arriving on the western front, Yang Dalin would occasionally go out for a walk and bring back some meat for everyone.

They're even considering transferring Yang Dalin back to the eastern front.

Yang Dalin instructed the local commander to tell the Eastern Front that the environment there was complex and that more time was needed.

And so Yang Dalin remained on the western front.

Because the western front is closer to the enemy's capital.

Yang Dalin didn't want to go back to the Eastern Front.

He was destined to take a trip to the enemy capital.

Yang Dalin was unwilling to go back, since he wasn't a formal soldier on the Eastern Front.

The commanders on the western front were naturally happy for him to stay there.

Therefore, Yang Dalin became even more popular.

Time flew by and it was October 17th when the enemy suddenly launched an attack.

In fact, Yang Dalin had already placed the attack order received by the other side on the leader's desk a day earlier.

They said it was a surprise attack, but we had actually been lying in ambush for a long time.

When the enemy attacks, we do what we always do: first we issue a warning, but they don't listen.

We retreated a bit, refrained from firing the first shot, and reported to our superiors. After several days of diplomatic mediation, the other side refused to back down.

As a result, orders were received during the day on the 19th, and a counterattack was to be launched on the morning of the 20th.

Yang Dalin and his soldiers, who were holding back their anger, had been waiting for orders from their superiors for a long time.

As soon as the order was given, Yang Dalin was the first to rush out.

The counterattacks in self-defense began simultaneously on both the eastern and western fronts.

Thanks to the detailed intelligence provided by Yang Dalin in advance, all units proceeded in an orderly manner according to the previously planned attack, attacking each enemy bunker, trench, and stronghold.

But Yang Dalin is different. He was previously a seconded employee, and no one was assigned to him.

No one gave him orders not to attack.

So after Yang Dalin rushed out immediately, everyone could only chase after him.

Because this kid was rushing so fast, no one could catch up with him.

Yang Dalin kills anyone he sees; he won't take many prisoners, otherwise he'd have to support them.

Yang Dalin had read the reports from his previous life. We captured more than 7,000 enemy soldiers, but they were all released quickly. It was probably because we couldn't afford to support so many useless people who only knew how to eat with their hands.

We have too many prisoners. Our logistics are already difficult, and we simply can't afford to feed them. It would be better to release them.

Therefore, Yang Dalin had no interest in prisoners; he would kill anyone he saw.

Moreover, he gave the western front leadership a terrible idea before the fighting began.

That means if a real war breaks out and we take too many prisoners, we can just use the enemy's food to feed them two meals of thin porridge a day so they don't starve.

Then they said that things were too difficult for them here and they couldn't afford to feed so many prisoners, so they asked the other side to send food over.

We won't care if people starve to death if we don't send them food.

We can also proactively share this information internationally.

Let's establish our position first.

Let the other party suffer in silence.
