Before 9:00 PM, all the troops were ready. First, a few mortars were fired at the enemy's position. Li Canghai's 1st Cavalry Battalion was the first to cross the trenches and charge at the Sun Nation's position. The entire Sun Nation's camp was already filled with a foul smell. Everyone was pulling up their pants, trying to find their guns. They were already lining up to go to the toilet, but it was already full. It was not their turn at all, so they could only take a dump at the position.
When Li Canghai took the lead and crossed the trenches, the massacre on the battlefield began. The Sun Nation's army could no longer stop the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's attack. Only a portion of the musketeers retaliated. The 1st Division and 1st Brigade were submerged in the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's Wang Yangda Sea. The battle only lasted for an hour. The Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's army had lost more than 300 men today, and the Sun Nation's army had lost more than 4,000 men.
"Report! Sir, we didn't find the body of the Sun Nation's 1st division's Major General, Hatoyama. Even the Chief of Staff is missing.”Li Changhai returned on horseback.
"What do you mean? Aren't they already cleaning up the battlefield?" Wang Zhizhen asked.
"I asked people to search three times, and I personally searched once, but I didn't find Hatoyama's body at all. I didn't even look at the Chief of Staff's body. " Oh right, there's also the corpse of that person called Zhushan who negotiated with us. No one saw him either. When we were dealing with the corpses of the Sun Nation army, only a portion of the 1st division's corpses were left. In other words, the 1st regiment's corpses were not completely wiped out.”
"Then where did they go?"
"This subordinate doesn't know either. This subordinate has already given the order to dig three feet into the ground to find them.”
"It's dark under the lights!" Wang Zhizhen suddenly felt a chill. He knew that Hatoyama had changed into the uniform of the Sun Nation's army when the Sun Nation's army swarmed over. He had mixed in with the 10,000 people. If he had mixed in with a few 300 to 500 people, he would definitely not have been discovered. By now, they might have already escaped.
"Li Canghai, gather your guards and chase east. If you see 300 to 500 people wearing our military uniform, kill them on the spot! Don't ask why? They are all soldiers of the Sun Nation in disguise. Hatoyama has already planned this. He knows that we will launch a general attack tonight, so he sacrificed some of his soldiers. You have to cover his main force to escape. I believe that most of these 300 - 500 people are officers. As long as they can escape, as long as we mobilize retired soldiers from the country to replenish the lost soldiers of the 1st division, the 1st division can be reorganized in the shortest time possible.”
Ma Kun had already rushed over. You're good! The battle was over. As long as Jiu Shan was eliminated, they could reinforce Old Nie.”
"Jiu Shan didn't die. He ran away.”
"How is that possible? We surrounded him so tightly, how could he escape! "Let them take a look, and I'll get them to take a look at these corpses. There are more than 4,000 corpses, and we'll be able to find him one by one. He's been chasing us for thousands of miles in the Bangzi Kingdom, and the corpses of my brothers are all over the country. How can we let him escape!" How could we let him escape?"
"Deputy Commander Ma, now is not the time to examine these corpses. There are close to a thousand people who have infiltrated our army. If these people were to shoot from the dark, it would cause a mutiny in our entire army. Now, we need to conduct a screening of the entire army. You go back and screen your troops immediately, and I will screen our troops. However, no one is allowed to enter Nine Links City. As long as they come out, they are not allowed to enter. Everyone, lie down and rest. I don't believe that he can still cause a commotion in the camp.”
"I'll go back and check it out immediately. You should be careful too, in case someone shoots you in the back.”Ma Kun knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately returned to the headquarters to begin screening.
At first, there were still some complaints, but after Wang Zhizhen's explanation, he said,"Among so many troops, there were also some Sun Nation troops who pretended to be my Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's troops.”Everyone fell silent. They knew that there was a pair of eyes staring at them in the darkness. If they were not careful, they might die.
"Everyone sat on the ground in silence. All the guns were emptied.”
Everyone withdrew their bullets to show their innocence. At this moment, some people did not withdraw their bullets, attracting the attention of the people around them.
"Brother, why did you withdraw the bullets? Who exactly are you?"
"Sir, we found one here."
Sir, there are three of them here. They haven't withdrawn their bullets. Should we shoot them?”
"Don't shoot. If you shoot, we will cover them and inform their comrades. So don't shoot now. They only have six bullets in their guns. Even if they kill six of us, if they shoot, at least 12 people will die.”Wang Zhizhen patiently explained to everyone.
"Listen to me now. Talk to the people next to you. As long as they can speak the language of our Zulong Kingdom and have no bullets in their guns, they are basically people of our Zulong Kingdom. "There are 486 people in a battalion. I believe many of you know each other. You just need to find your commanding officer slowly. I will have someone raise the flag of your battalion. You just need to stay close to him. We will have a good screening today. Don't sleep tonight. We have to find this group of people. Otherwise, if we enter the city, we will fall into their trap. If they enter the city and set fire to it, we will suffer a great loss. Therefore, brothers," Although our battle has ended, the screening work still needs to be carried out. Tomorrow morning, I will definitely give everyone an explanation. Tonight, everyone will receive ten taels of silver. The reward I will personally give everyone will not be included in your military pay.”
"Don't worry, sir. We all know! Everyone, sit down." A battalion commander said.
"Alright, alright! Thank you brothers for trusting me. I'll call all the battalion leaders for a meeting. There are only ten of us, and we'll be screening ten people.”
"You are the battalion commanders of the eight battalions that I have led. We all know each other. If there is one that you don't know, it must be a soldier of the Sun Nation.”
"This is my personal guard captain, Xu Xiankai. He didn't lead my guards to the battlefield, so he can be trusted. Even if I only have 120 personal guards, they will all know each other. They will only form a circle around the main group and be screened ten times! In short, if you see someone you don't know, don't say anything. Just pick the ones you know.”
"Understood, my lord!"
"Xu Xiankai, let's begin! Ten, ten!"
Then, ten people walked out of the Japanese camp and walked into the circle of Xu Xiankai's guards. There were eight battalion leaders in the circle. They went up to pick out the people they knew. As long as they didn't pick out, the guards would shoot them to death. Although it was troublesome, it was the fastest way to identify them.
After screening 3000 people, there was finally one person who was found to be a soldier of the Sun Nation. In the end, he was killed on the spot by the guards.
There was a commotion at the original position of the Sun Nation's army. Wang Zhizhen was watching from the side, so it quieted down one after another. Only a few people were still shouting loudly, but their accent was wrong. In the end, they were captured on the spot by the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom's army and pressed in front of Wang Zhizhen.
" Are you curious? You've only found one person, yet you've caused a riot. The one who was killed just now was not a soldier of the Sun Nation, but a soldier of my guards in disguise. They only shot at his feet and you jumped out. I dare say that there are at most 100 people in this army. It's because of the Sun Nation soldiers. However, the screening process is very fast. I'll play with you today." My brothers are especially loyal to me. They will do whatever I ask them to do.”
"Everyone, put down your guns and stand up? As long as someone tries to pick up the gun, you will push him down, regardless of whether he lives or dies.”
"Do you know why I didn't say these words just now? "Because the soldiers of the Sun Nation who can understand us are among you. They all have a guilty conscience. If there are 10 of us, they will definitely escape to the back. If that happens, the safety of the brothers at the back will not be guaranteed. Therefore, we try our best to compress it into a small space. After that, we will remove their weapons so as to minimize the casualty rate of our brothers. We will screen them 10 times. You have to be careful of the people around you." We have already screened more than 3,000 people, and there are still 6000 people left. We will be done in six hours. So, brothers, thank you for your hard work. I apologize to everyone here. We didn't discover the enemy's scheme, so we let you suffer here. The screening process continues!"
In the end, the screening process became faster and faster. It originally took six hours, but it only took two hours for the screening to be completed. In the last wave, there were ten people who were all soldiers of the Sun Nation. Wang Zhizhen killed them all in the camp.
When Ryan was screening in the camp, he was ambushed by 100 soldiers of the Sun Nation disguised as Green Camp and was slightly injured. He was shot in the arm, but this group of people was also exposed. Everyone chased after the group of people, but they still let 20 to 30 people run away. However, the preparations of the entire camp could be stopped because these 100 people had already jumped out. However, for the sake of insurance, Ryan still personally participated in the screening work while he was injured. When the time came, he did not find a soldier of the Sun Nation pretending to be him, so he went to treat his wounds without worry. The two of them checked their troops almost at the same time. When they met again, they sighed with lingering fear. This soldier of the Sun Nation was too cunning.
