Snow covered the mountains and dark clouds covered the moon. No matter how cold the northwest wind was, it could not hide the joy and liveliness of Green Dragon Mountain.
Today was a day worth remembering because the 101st Infantry Regiment had withstood the baptism of war and wiped out nearly 4,000 enemy soldiers. They had successfully destroyed the Japanese's plan to surround Qinglong Mountain. Currently, the Green Dragon Mountain was filled with joy and laughter.
(PS: 1050 men from the Chuangu Battalion, 1100 men from the Yamada Battalion, 210 men from the Hirano Squadron, 1200 men from the Imperial Association Army, as well as 300 men from the Takeda United Army who suffered from the Longsong Cannons, totaling 3860 men.)）
In Black Wind Mountain, Yan Jue led the platoon of female guards to wander around. Looking at the soldiers of the 101st Regiment who had returned from the battle and were sitting in a circle, enjoying wine and meat at the banquet, he felt inexplicably touched and sad.
In this battle, a total of 198 people from the three battalions had died, 45 were seriously injured, and 20 were slightly injured. However, Yan Jue did not see any resentment on the faces of these soldiers. They accepted the result willingly and truly fulfilled their oath to die for her.
Since the birth of the clone army, there had been casualties, but this was the first time that so many people had died at once.
Phew...
Yan Jue let out a long breath of white mist. He wiped his eyes and put away his sentimental attitude. Perhaps it was because she had become a woman, but her heart was always extremely emotional.
"Leng Mei, prepare the carriage. Let's go to the 2nd and 3rd Battalion's encampment to take a look. This time, they have sacrificed the most people.”
"Yes, Commander!"
When Cold Charm heard the commander's order, she waved her hand at the guards behind her who were on guard at all times.
Ta Ta Ta…About five or six beautiful girls in military uniforms ran away. In a few minutes, they found several gray armored vehicles.
Yan Jue raised his eyebrows and looked at the few huge vehicles that could withstand bullets. He was very reluctant to sit in them. This thing was indeed safe, but the shock absorption effect was not just a little bit bad. The last time she went to the South Col to survey the terrain, she almost broke her butt.
"Do I have to take this?"
Yan Jue looked at Leng Mei with some resentment and put on an expression that said he had nothing to live for. Looking at the commander who was pretending to be pitiful, Leng Mei did not fall for it. She stared at Yan Jue and said seriously," Commander, in times of war, your safety is the most important. As for comfort, it's for the dead."”
Err...
Yan Jue, who was rendered speechless by the cold charm who did not know how to cherish women, admitted defeat. He obediently crawled into the armored vehicle through the iron gate.
Although Cold Charm was usually gentle and meticulous like a big sister, once she encountered a problem of principle, such as a safety issue, she would instantly become a decisive and stubborn iron warrior.
Bang...
The armored vehicle's steel door, which was about eight millimeters thick, was closed. The steel monster-like thing began to sway, squeaking as it rolled over the road toward the gate of Black Wind Mountain.
The Italian Type 35 armored personnel carrier weighed 6 tons, had a 6x4 model, armor thickness of 8mm, length of 5.3 meters, width of 2 meters, and height of 2.35 meters. It was equipped with a Fiat 18T in-line 4-cylinder 55-horsepower gasoline engine with a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour.
The vehicle was equipped with an 8mm Fiat 35 machine gun. The front and left driver seats could accommodate two people, and the rear compartment could accommodate eight people. One vehicle was just enough to carry a fully armed infantry squad.
Beep beep...
Two rows of tire tracks were left on the snow on the road. A total of five armored vehicles lined up in a row and drove towards Red Pine Ridge under the illumination of yellow headlights.
In the old forest on the hillside, a group of about 20 armed men wearing national army combat uniforms, helmets on their heads, and MP38 submachine guns on their chests were marching.
Suddenly, the rumbling of an engine came from afar. Looking from afar, the headlights of a car appeared on the road at the foot of the mountain. The lights kept moving forward, and they would pass through their area in a few minutes.
"Colonel, it looks like a patrolling armored vehicle. What should we do?”
Nakagami Hiroshi, the captain of the Yamato Assault Team, rushed to Yamamoto Ichiki's side and asked him in a low voice.
They set off from the First Army's encampment and entered Green Dragon Mountain after dark. However, they lost their way because they were unfamiliar with the terrain.
"Keep quiet and don't expose yourself. We'll wait for the patrol car to pass by and follow the tire tracks to see if we can find the command center of the Chinese Army.”
Yamamoto Ichiki gestured to his subordinates to keep quiet. He picked up the binoculars and observed the armored vehicles driving on the road below the mountain.
Strange, why hadn't he seen this kind of car before? It seemed that Germany had never seen this kind of armored car before.
Of course, Yamamoto Ichiki did not know. The Type 35 armored personnel carrier was a wheeled personnel carrier that Italy planned to equip the armored brigade in 1938. It was not until 1941 that the initial design was finalized. The armored vehicles were mass-produced in 1944. It was now 1939, and he had not even created it. Where could he meet it?
Inside the moving armored vehicle, Xiang Donglai, who was drowsy from the shaking of the vehicle, suddenly felt the urge to urinate. He opened his eyes and yawned. With his sharp eyes, he happened to see a stone the size of a human head rolling down the slope and stopping in the middle of the road about 50 meters in front of the vehicle.
"Stop the car!"
Xiang Donglai pushed Luo Jin who was driving the car.
"What? Here?"
Luo Jin, who was driving, turned to look at Xiang Donglai, his expression full of doubt. Are you kidding me? They were the first car to open the way. Once they stopped, the cars behind them would have to stop as well. The commander was in the second car.
"I said stop the car. Don't you see a rock rolling down the hill in front?”
Xiang Donglai cursed angrily." Brat, do you think he doesn't know that the commander is sitting at the back?" The key was that the rock was so big. If they didn't move it and drove forward, the cars behind wouldn't notice it. What if something happened?
"Oh, I really didn't notice. I'm sorry, platoon mate! Hehe!"
After Luo Jin heard this, he looked hard at the road ahead. Sure enough, he saw a rock, so he smiled honestly and slowly stepped on the brakes.
Creak... The heavy-duty tire slid three to four meters on the snow before it finally came to a steady stop.
"Just you wait. I'll drive after I get rid of the rock!”
Xiang Donglai, who was in the passenger seat, put on his leather gloves and pushed open the door.
"Gun, platoon commander, bring your gun!"
Luo Jin saw that Xiang Donglai was about to go down, so he quickly picked up the MP40 submachine gun that was placed behind him and handed it to him.
"At least you're smart!"
Xiang Donglai took the submachine gun and put it on his neck, praising Luo Jin.
Every soldier in the clone army was born with a strict and cautious attitude. Usually, they would not forget to bring their guns when they went to the toilet. He did not take it just now because it was inconvenient to get out of the car.
Bang... Xiang Donglai closed the car door. His military boots made crunching sounds as he stepped on the soft snow. He walked straight to the stone in the middle of the road. It was strange. The snow was so heavy that the temperature had frozen all the soil. How could there be such a big rock rolling down?
Hmm, something was wrong. There were ice shards on one side of the rock. It didn't fall naturally. There was someone on the slope!
The bold and observant Xiang Donglai picked up the stone and was about to throw it away when he noticed that there was a side of the stone that was covered with wet soil and ice shards. His heart skipped a beat.
During a war, anything could happen. A few days ago, a ghost had broken into Green Dragon Mountain. The people hiding on the hillside were probably…
Xiang Donglai, who had strong military knowledge and a strong mind, did not shout or shoot. Instead, he pretended to be relaxed. As the armored vehicle walked, it cursed loudly, saying things like how unlucky it was that the heavy snow had rolled the rocks down the slope.
Hush...
Yamamoto Ichiki and his team members, who were hiding in the forest on the hillside, heard Xiang Donglai's complaints and heaved a sigh of relief.
A minute ago, when a member of the Assault Team of Yamato Soul accidentally kicked a rock down the slope, everyone, including Yamamoto Ichiki, was shocked. Just now, more than one gun was aimed at the person who moved the rock. Fortunately, the person did not care.
