Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

[Are you sure you want to leave this world? Once confirmed, it cannot be changed. 】

"confirm!"

As Li Guotao slowly said the word "confirm", Li Guotao felt a buzzing in his head, and then he entered the dark and chaotic space again.

Five colorful cards appeared in front of Li Guotao again.

There is still only a one in five chance of returning to your own world.

Li Guotao sighed helplessly. The five cards were exactly the same. Everything depended on luck.

Li Guotao took a quick glance and reached out to grab the card in the middle.

At this time, a few words appeared on the card.

[Battle of Hengyang]

Depend on!
Li Guotao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and even suspected that this crappy system was playing tricks on him, and that he would never be able to draw to his own world.

But Li Guotao had no way to deal with this. It was better than dying!

After all, he was dead in the original world. How easy would it be to resurrect him?

Tang Monk is also a disciple of Buddha, and he has to go through 81 difficulties to obtain the scriptures!

Thinking of this, Li Guotao felt relieved. Even if there was a slight chance to go back, Li Guotao would not give up.

Battle of Hengyang!
Li Guotao knew something about this. A very famous battle took place in the late period of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

This battle was also quite brutal.

Faced with the siege of hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers, the 10th Army fought alone and held Hengyang for 47 days with only more than troops, killing Japanese soldiers and injuring .

Eventually, Hengyang fell due to heavy casualties, lack of ammunition and food, and lack of follow-up support.

The soldiers of the 10th Army fought hard with the Japanese invaders in Hengyang for 47 days, but until the fall of Hengyang, they did not receive any support.

Since the battle began, the superiors have been saying that reinforcements will arrive soon.

Until the day Hengyang fell, planes dropped leaflets to the Hengyang defenders, saying: "Reinforcements will arrive in Hengyang tomorrow, without delay!"

However, the soldiers of the 47th Army, who had fought hard for 10 days, never saw any reinforcement. At this moment, their blood had been shed, their ammunition and food had run out, and they were no longer able to fight.

Thinking of this, Li Guotao couldn't help but frown. This world is also full of dangers and difficulties.

[System Task: Hold on to Hengyang for 47 days and assist Commander Fang and the defenders to successfully break out.]

At this time, a clear system prompt sounded and the system task was released.

After seeing this task, Li Guotao was obviously relieved.

This task is not too difficult.

The Battle of Hengyang was a dead end. More than 10,000 people faced hundreds of thousands of well-equipped Japanese slaves. If there were no reinforcements, the fall of Hengyang would only be a matter of time.

Fortunately, the system mission only requires covering General Fang to successfully break out. Of course, there is a prerequisite: he must hold on for 47 days before breaking out.

In comparison, this task is not too difficult.

[Warm Tips: If the host can repel the Japanese army and ensure that Hengyang is not lost, it will be considered as over-fulfillment of the task and will receive a 5-fold reward. The next time you travel through the world, you will have to choose one of the four worlds, and you will have a 25% chance of returning to the original world.]

At this time, the system prompt sounded again, and Li Guotao couldn't help rolling his eyes. This task was a bit too much to ask. After all, he was not Superman.

If we want to repel the Japanese invaders and ensure that Hengyang is not lost, we must have reinforcements. Otherwise, it will be impossible to keep Hengyang and repel the Japanese army.

If reinforcements were available, they would have arrived long ago. Why did we have to wait for 47 days without seeing a single soldier?

Unless you are a bald man, you must at least be the commander-in-chief of the war zone to be able to dispatch reinforcements to support Hengyang.

Li Guotao smiled bitterly and said, "What if I can completely annihilate the Japanese invaders?"

[If the host can completely wipe out the Japanese troops besieging the city, he will receive a 10-fold ultimate reward, and can choose one of three worlds to travel through, and the chance of returning to the original world will be increased to 33.33%. ]

Is there really such a reward for him?
Li Guotao was also speechless for a while.

is it possible?

Relying on the more than 10 people of the th Army, can they wipe out hundreds of thousands of Japanese invaders?

Unless it’s hundreds of thousands of pigs?

This possibility only exists in theory.

I am not the army commander. Even if I can influence the army commander's will, it would be extremely difficult to wipe out hundreds of thousands of Japanese slaves.

Even if we repel them, it will be extremely difficult to keep Hengyang.

The most important thing is that he is most likely just a nobody, and in such a tragic war situation, it is difficult to keep his life.

But this reward is still very tempting, give it a try!
We have to complete the first goal no matter what.

[Warm reminder: This world is a single-player mode, and the host cannot bring heroes across. ]

Well, there is no helper.

Li Guotao knew that there is no free lunch in the world. Since there are additional rewards, there must be additional conditions.

Li Guotao was speechless about this.

[The host can randomly get rewards by killing enemies. The prizes include various weapons and ammunition, daily necessities, and various rare props. Please explore the specific situation by yourself. ]

Kill the enemy and get the equipment?
This function is very practical.

Li Guotao's expression eased a little, but this seemed to mean that there was no system mall anymore, and everything had to rely on random luck.

But what is this special prop?
The system didn't explain it either.

Could it be a resurrection card or something like that? If so, that wouldn’t be bad.

After all, you can’t buy such super-realistic things in the system mall.

[The host can get one chance to draw a lottery every day, and a total of 47 chances to draw a lottery. ]

[Each time you draw a lottery, you can draw troops from another world as a reward, but all the drawn troops can only be summoned after 47 days. ]

At this time, the crisp system prompt sound rang again.

lottery?

And you can draw troops from other worlds?
In this way, the problem of reinforcements is solved.

If everything goes well, these drawn troops can be summoned after 47 days to lift the siege of Hengyang.

In this way, the task becomes much simpler.

It is not impossible to defeat the Japanese invaders, keep Hengyang, and even annihilate the Japanese invaders' army of more than 100,000.

Thinking of this, Li Guotao was also very excited.

So the biggest challenge now is to survive the 47-day bloody battle in Hengyang.

This is not too difficult for Li Guotao, who has experienced many ups and downs.

Thinking of this, Li Guotao suddenly became full of confidence.

[Host, please get ready to start the journey...] As the system prompt sounded, Li Guotao suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes and lost consciousness instantly.

"Hey……"

"Wake up!"

Li Guotao felt someone kick him and fell to the ground. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw two people holding pistols with the black muzzles pointed at his head.

[Time: June 1944, 6. Location: near Quanxi, Hengyang. Identity: Second Lieutenant Platoon Leader of the 23th Army. Event: Changsha fell, the 4th Army was defeated, you fought your way out of Changsha, disguised as a refugee and retreated to Hengyang, but were captured by the Japanese plainclothes team on the way.]

June 6rd was the day when the Battle of Hengyang began, which means that the Japanese had already reached Hengyang.

Second lieutenant platoon leader of the 4th Army?

The Fourth Army was the famous Northern Expedition Iron Army, but this battle was a complete disgrace to them. The Fourth Army was ordered to guard Changsha, but was defeated by the Japanese army and Changsha fell. After the war, due to poor command, the army commander was executed and three division commanders were dismissed.

The once-famous Northern Expedition Iron Army was completely finished after the Battle of Changsha.

Of course, none of this matters to Li Guotao now.

Li Guotao broke out of Changsha, ran out of ammunition and food, and traveled all the way to Hengyang. As he was so sleepy and tired, he leaned against a big tree by the roadside and fell asleep. As a result, he was captured by the Japanese plainclothes team.

These Japanese plainclothes teams were the Japanese vanguard. They disguised themselves as civilians, came to scout the enemy situation in advance, create chaos, and launch sneak attacks on some strategic points.

It is now June 6rd, and we are not far from Hengyang. It is estimated that the Japanese army will arrive soon.

The most troublesome thing was that he was captured by the Japanese and had no weapons on him. When he broke out, he ran out of ammunition and food, lost his gun, and even lost his knife.

He originally had a stick for self-defense, but it was kicked aside by the Japanese.

Li Guotao sat up slowly, looked at the muzzle of the gun that was almost against his head, and then glanced at the two Japanese soldiers behind him.

Although the two Japanese soldiers were not tall, they were very strong, with fierce looks on their faces, and were staring at Li Guotao.

"Although this guy is dirty, he doesn't look like a beggar. He might be a Chinese soldier who escaped."

"I just checked, he didn't have any weapons on him. The calluses on his hands tell me that he was a soldier. However, China has been at war for decades, and many people have served in the military. This guy looks like a deserter now."

"Why isn't this guy afraid at all? I think we should just kill him."

"I think they are scared silly! We can't kill them, they are still useful!"

Li Guotao listened to the conversation between the two people. The two devils spoke Chinese and spoke it very fluently, otherwise they would not have been selected as plainclothes team members. However, if you listen carefully, you can still hear a Japanese accent in their voices, but it is difficult for ordinary people to hear it.

Li Guotao was not in a hurry to take action because he had just woken up and was still a little uncomfortable.

After hearing the conversation between the two just now, Li Guotao couldn't help but worry. If these two guys just shot him to death, his death would be too unfair. Although there is a chance of resurrection, he naturally has to cherish the life-saving props.

Fortunately, according to what the Japanese said, he seemed to be still useful, so Li Guotao was not in a hurry to take action.

He was also curious as to why these bastards had captured him.

"stand up!"

A Japanese soldier kicked Li Guotao.

Li Guotao could only suppress his anger and slowly stood up.

"Let's go~!"

The two devils escorted Li Guotao forward.

At this time, Li Guotao noticed that about a few hundred meters away, there was a group of civilians who were being escorted by the Japanese and gathered together. A rough estimate was that there were hundreds of people, and there were about dozens of Japanese around them.

Li Guotao couldn't help but hesitate. Why did these devils capture so many civilians?
And in this way, wouldn't these Japanese plainclothes teams be exposed?
Li Guotao was also hesitating whether to kill these two Japanese devils first, and then seize their guns to kill the remaining dozens of Japanese devils.

However, Li Guotao was still somewhat confused at this moment. Why did these Japanese plainclothes soldiers capture so many civilians, risking being exposed?
Therefore, Li Guotao did not rush to take action, wanting to find out the enemy's intentions first.

As for these dozens of Japanese devils, Li Guotao didn't take them too seriously. Although these devils were elite soldiers, to Li Guotao, they were just a bunch of scum.

Li Guotao remained silent the entire time and walked forward obediently, but he was secretly observing the Japanese soldiers around him.

Because these little Japanese devils are wearing civilian clothes, we should remember them now to avoid them blending in with the civilians and being difficult to distinguish.

Three or four hundred civilians captured by the Japanese gathered at the scene, including men, women, young and old, all of them were terrified and trembling all over.

Li Guotao quietly blended into the crowd, trying not to attract the attention of the Japanese.

At this time, one of the leading Japanese soldiers suddenly said, "Yoshi! It's time to set off."

"Hayi~!"

"Let's go~!"

Then these devils drove the people and walked towards Hengyang.

The people were terrified and cried, but the Japanese did not stop them. They just shouted at them to speed up.

At this time, Li Guotao, who was mixed in the crowd, saw the Japanese soldiers secretly hiding all the weapons they were carrying.

In order to hide more easily, these Japanese soldiers basically carried pistols and a small number of grenades.

The Japs hid their weapons and blended into the crowd.

Under the urging of the Japanese, the crowd gradually accelerated and almost ran all the way to the west.

At this time, Li Guotao noticed a large river in front of him, and a dock gradually appeared in his sight, with soldiers guarding the dock.

By this time, Li Guotao had already guessed the Japs' intentions. They wanted to blend in with the crowd of civilians, launch a surprise attack during the chaos, and seize the dock.

This strategy was not very clever. The Japs were so anxious, their large force would probably arrive soon.

With so many civilians around, the defenders probably wouldn't dare to open fire easily.

Can't wait any longer!
Fortunately, as everyone ran forward, the team was already in quite chaos, especially the people who were carrying the elderly and children. They wanted to run faster, but they couldn't. However, they didn't dare not run. They might not have seen the cruelty of the Japs, but they had heard of it.

At this time the team was in chaos, and Li Guotao could take advantage of the chaos to make a move.

Li Guotao took advantage of the chaos and quietly approached a Japanese soldier. When the Japanese soldier was not prepared, he shot him in the back of the neck.

"Click~!"

The Japanese soldier's neck was broken by one blow, and he fell to the ground. After struggling for a few times, he died completely.

Li Guotao moved quickly. The moment the Japanese soldier fell to the ground, he took out a dagger hidden in his sleeve, quickly hid it in his sleeve, and continued to run forward with the crowd.

Due to the chaotic situation and the sudden incident, no other Japanese noticed Li Guotao's actions.

It was not until the Japanese soldiers following behind discovered the body of that Japanese soldier that they realized something was wrong.

"Baga, there are enemies mixed in with the crowd!"

"Report to the captain immediately."

"Don't worry about him. It's more important to seize the dock."

"Find him and kill him!"

"Hayi~!"

At this moment, they were only a few hundred meters away from the dock. The Japanese soldiers could only search for Li Guotao in the crowd while continuing to follow the crowd to rush towards the dock. (End of this chapter)
