Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 932 Lighter

However, before the messenger sent by Yamamoto saw Xu San, he discovered that the Fifth Battalion's marching speed began to increase and they began to discard equipment.

So the messenger quickened his pace and began to chase the Fifth Battalion, which was marching rapidly, following the debris discarded along the way.

Yamamoto's messenger was considered fast even among the special forces, but he still felt a little tired.

Without the burden, the Fifth Battalion was like a rabbit being chased by wild dogs, moving faster and faster.

Eagle's Beak Cliff is a dangerous place with towering mountains and steep cliffs.

There is a natural cave on the edge of the cliff, which is said to have been a hunter's hiding place.

There are many weeds growing on the cliff, swaying in the wind, and it seems that someone may jump out from it at any time.

Below the cliff is a long and narrow barren land covered with wild grass, and from time to time you can see some wild animals passing by.

The sound of the wind on the cliff blowing the cliff wall is like a wolf howling, which makes people uneasy.

The Eagle's Beak Cliff area is full of strange rocks, which can easily hide your body and make it a good place for an ambush.

The autumn wind was blowing, stirring the half-man-high weeds, and a gray figure appeared and disappeared.

At this moment, Xu San stopped and looked up at the cliff with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

Wang Hai asked, "Third Master, did you notice anything?"

"It's okay, just turn around and run. If we run too late, something might happen." Xu San took a deep breath and rushed to the front of the team in two or three steps. He shouted loudly while running, "Remember to maintain your breathing rhythm. We will rest for ten minutes after we pass the Eagle's Beak Cliff!"

Marching continuously for more than three hours was a big test for the Fifth Battalion.

The veterans were fine, but the speed at which they were advancing was beginning to overwhelm the new recruits.

They were new recruits, and their physical fitness was naturally not as good as that of the veterans. Coupled with long-term malnutrition, several of the new recruits had begun to vomit blood.

But we must grit our teeth and persevere even if we vomit blood, because the Fifth Battalion is a place where food is provided and we believe that the hardship and fatigue will pass as long as we persevere.

This is the current era, people are struggling to have a full meal.

As for the reputation of puppet troops and traitors.
The real lower class really doesn't care. In their minds, it doesn't matter who rules.
Ambushed on the top of the mountain were the Third Company of the Second Battalion of the 36th Regiment. Their order was to let go of a group of puppet troops marching with red flags and snipe the troops behind them.

The order was a death order. After letting the puppet troops go, they had to stay here for forty-eight hours and could only retreat after forty-eight hours!

Company commander Han Liang looked at the words on the red flag of the Fifth Battalion through a telescope and couldn't help laughing. "This puppet army is really arrogant! The Fifth Battalion went out to conquer Jiuzhou. He really dared to brag. If we hadn't been ordered to let him go, I would definitely have shot his flag in half with one shot!"

"Don't worry! Our mission requires us to let them pass." Deputy Company Commander Hong Qianli reminded.

"I know, but this puppet army is not ordinary. Judging from their current speed, I think it is a few points faster than our forced march."

"Well, this is probably the elite of the puppet army!"

"The Fifth Battalion? It seems to be a troop from the Ping'an County area." Han Liang said after thinking for a while.

"Where is Ping'an County?" The deputy company commander asked the question as he was not good at geography.

Han Liang frowned, "In the eastern section of the Zhengtai Line, to the east is Chu Liang."

The deputy company commander nodded. Chu Liang knew the approximate location of Ping'an County. He poked his hat with his box gun and said, "This group of puppet troops are about to pass through the Eagle's Beak Cliff. I guess the devils behind them should be coming up."

"Well! Go and inform your comrades to call me on time!"

The deputy company commander responded and went down. Below the cliff, the long team of the fifth battalion was passing through the Eagle's Beak Cliff in an orderly manner. At this time, the scout in charge of the message had also approached Xu San.

When Xu San saw the scout and messenger, his heart was shocked, because his military uniform was embroidered with the emblem of the Yamamoto Special Forces.

Appearing here at this time, Xu San felt that something was going to happen.

In order to prevent this accident from disrupting the bosses' plans, he decided to let Wang Hai continue to lead the team and move forward at the current speed, while he would stay to deal with the scout.

The team was still marching. He pulled the messenger to the side and before the messenger could speak, he handed him a cigarette and said, "Brother, you have worked hard. Have a cigarette first."

The scout hesitated for a moment, reached out to take the cigarette and put it in his mouth, then he saw Xu San reached out and took out a grenade.

Xu San's action frightened him so much that he quickly reached for his gun.

As a result, as soon as he took out the gun, he saw Xu San rubbing his thumb on the grenade.

"Snap~" With a crisp friction sound, a flame rose from the top of the grenade.

"Yoshi~" The messenger looked at the rising flames in surprise, then leaned his head over and lit the cigarette.

He took a deep breath, exhaled a smoke ring, and said, "I've often heard that Captain Xu has a lot of strange gadgets. At first I didn't take it seriously, thinking they were just children's toys. I didn't expect that today I've opened my eyes."

"Haha~" Xu San smiled and tossed the grenade-shaped lighter in his hand. "It is indeed a child's toy. Do you like it, brother?"

The scout shook his head to indicate no, but his envious eyes betrayed his thoughts.

After the grenade fell into his hand, Xu San threw it lightly, changed its direction, and flew towards the scout delicately.

The scout reached out to take it, put the cigarette in his mouth, and then looked at it carefully.

The grenade is heavy and almost exactly the same as the real one, even the safety pull ring is a one-to-one replica.

But this thing is still a lighter. As long as you look at it from above, the round fire outlet instantly betrays its true purpose.

Looking more closely, you can see a circle of gaps on the grenade.

Grab the two ends and apply a little force, then you can unscrew it, revealing the internal structure. You can then fill it with oil or replace the flint.

Although the structure is simple, as a soldier, he really can't put this lighter down.

After playing with it for a while, he hung the grenade on his military uniform.

Looking down, it’s really nice!

It matches this military uniform very well.

After he finished smoking a cigarette, Xu San immediately gave him another one.

Xu Sandian was not used this time. The scout, who had just got a new toy, picked up the grenade from his military uniform, rubbed the flint, and lit it himself.

"Hehe~" The scout smiled foolishly and took two puffs of smoke. Then he said to Xu San, "Captain Xu, Lieutenant Yoshino ordered your troops to march a little slower and wait for the troops behind!"

"Hi!" Xu San agreed readily, saluted, and did not disobey the order.

The scout returned the salute and said, "The order has been delivered, so I will go back!"
