After a morning of rest, the team was full of energy. They looked at Chen Feng with anticipation, as if to say, "Keep going!" Haven't you had enough yet? Chen Feng smiled helplessly and gave the order:

Let’s eat first, then go back to the front line in half an hour to see what the Japanese are doing.

Seeing the excited expressions of the team members, Chen Feng poured a bucket of cold water on them:

Don't be happy too soon. The Japanese have been attacked time and time again and have suffered huge losses. They may not necessarily take crazy revenge. Everyone must be cautious when marching. There may be ambushes anywhere. If you fall into the Japanese ambush circle, everyone can imagine what the consequences will be. Besides, it will be difficult to launch another sneak attack. The Japanese are not stupid. They may have planned a trap for us.

Everyone put away their frivolous smiles and started to eat, thinking that they were a little too proud! Fortunately, the captain reminded them, otherwise if they really fell into the devil's trap, the whole army might be wiped out.

The team set off quickly after the meal. They didn't meet many people along the way. It was wartime and they were so close to the battlefield. People were hiding at home. It was not yet farming time, so how many people dared to come out and wander around?

The team arrived at the outskirts of the battlefield and began to advance carefully. Chen Feng took the initiative to act as a vanguard, conducting reconnaissance one hundred meters ahead of the team, observing the terrain and vegetation at all times, for fear that the Japanese would set an ambush.

When he arrived at the nameless highland, he realized that he had thought too much. The Japanese army camp had disappeared, not even a ghost. The first line of defense was occupied by the national army. Chen Feng was full of doubts. It was unlikely that the whole army was annihilated. Did they run away? Lai Guqi was no good? It was just a few sneak attacks. He couldn't afford it anymore?

If Lai Guqi knew what Chen Feng was thinking, he would have fought him to the death. Implicated by the Lone Wolf Commando, Lai Guqi was recalled to the headquarters. He was attacked again and again, especially when he was finally caught at the door. The booby traps alone caused seven to eight hundred casualties. The news had spread among the invading Japanese army in North China, and he had become a complete laughing stock. Lai Guqi had already boarded a train to Qingdao, and together with a group of wounded soldiers with broken limbs, he was going to take a boat from Qingdao Port back to Japan to report on his work. It was estimated that he would never be able to make a name for himself in this life.

The wounded soldiers in the carriage all had louder voices than Lai Guqi. They were all injured in heroic battles and would be welcomed after returning home. They were a little puzzled to see that Lai Guqi, a brigade commander, was also among them. However, the rank gap was so big that no one dared to ask casually. However, some wounded soldiers of Lai Guqi's brigade quietly explained the situation. Word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Within half an hour, all the wounded soldiers in the carriage knew the situation and looked at Lai Guqi with contempt. "Idiot, coward!" It was this bastard who caused the loss of twelve heavy artillery pieces of the empire and caused nearly two thousand of his men to die on the battlefield and in the barracks. After a while, the wounded could not help it and started cursing. If it weren't for the broken arms and legs, some of them even had a bad temper and wanted to go up and beat the idiot to death. The Japs all had the same nature. They were servile to the strong, and had a condescending and disgusting face to those they could bully. Lai Guqi could only hold back his curses and just hoped that the train would arrive as soon as possible.

Chen Feng still didn't know what had happened to Lai Guqi, and was still guessing his intentions. The Lai Guqi Brigade should have two regiments, 6,000 to 8,000 people. Although only 4,000 people came this time, the casualties so far were less than 2,000. Why did they withdraw? Wouldn't they be able to jump around again when the follow-up troops caught up? Do they need to go back to rest? Chen Feng couldn't figure it out, so he stopped guessing. If he guessed wrong, it might cause serious consequences. He had to go to Zou County to see what was going on, and ordered:

The target is Zou County, bypassing the Kuomintang’s defense line and setting off.

The team set off quickly. It was still early and this place was only fifty or sixty miles away from Zou County. If they went at full speed, they could arrive in two hours.

The team was already accustomed to long-distance raids. Carrying more than ten kilograms of weapons and equipment on their backs did not affect their speed at all. The squad avoided the main roads and walked through the wilderness. When entering enemy-occupied areas, they could not be too careful.

Before dark, the team arrived at Hujia Mountain in the south of Zou County and ordered the team members to hide the extra equipment. The team only carried enough weapons and ammunition for one battle and moved towards the county seat of Zou County.

This was already the Japanese's rear area. Although there were many sentries, the defense was not as strict as one might imagine. The team members were asked to ambush and provide support at the south gate, while Chen Feng climbed over the city wall and entered the county town alone.

The team members looked at each other, wondering when they could participate in such an operation. While they were touched by the captain's protection, they also felt a little guilty that they had not yet mastered the skills! Li Ergou even felt that if the captain had not led him last night, he would not have dared to sneak into the Japanese army camp. Although he was not afraid of death, he was inevitably panicked and flustered. He estimated that if he went in, he would be discovered soon.

It was just getting dark and there were still some pedestrians on the street. It seemed that there was no night control. Chen Feng went to a restaurant, ready to eat something while gathering information. There were both Chinese and Japanese in the restaurant, but the Chinese were basically traitors. Anyone who dared to come out at this time of night must have some connections with the Japanese. Chen Feng was dressed similarly to the traitor with a box gun on his waist, both wearing a top hat, a black coat, and a white inner wear. He ordered two meat dishes and a pot of tea, and sat in a corner of the hall to taste the food slowly.

On the right were two private rooms. The sound of drunken devils laughing could be heard. Chen Feng pretended to be nonchalant and listened carefully. Suddenly, a devil said:

Lai Guqi, that idiot, made four consecutive mistakes in command, which is a disgrace to the Imperial Japanese Army. It is a relief for him to be recalled to the headquarters. He should be executed by disembowelment.

Another voice followed:

That is, his four mistakes have become a laughing stock of the Imperial Japanese Army. The superiors have issued an order strictly prohibiting the news from being spread outside. If the Chinese were to get to know about it, it would definitely boost morale.

After hearing this, Chen Feng's eyes lit up. Why didn't he think of this?

Another voice came, the voice was very low, but it still couldn't escape Chen Feng's ears:

Did you know that the guy Akashiba Yaezou was promoted to brigade commander, and from now on the Raiya Brigade will be renamed the Akashiba Brigade?

Really? I thought they were sending another one from base camp.

That is not enough time. When the train arrives tomorrow night, the army will have enough equipment and will go to attack Longshan. It will be too early to transfer people from the base camp.

Yes, the division originally wanted to take Tengzhou in three days, but because of Lai Gu's disturbance, three days became a luxury. The attack of other troops was not very good either, and the most successful one was only able to take two lines of defense.

Just wait! Tomorrow night, all kinds of heavy artillery and shells will arrive at 10 o'clock. When they arrive, they will be loaded onto trucks and quickly supplied to the battlefield before dawn. It is estimated that the offensive speed will be very smooth.

Chen Feng broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. Fortunately, he was here, otherwise the National Army would be in big trouble. Although he had just thought about exposing his team to boost the morale of the Chinese people to resist the war and planned to steal a radio station tonight, he could not do it now to avoid alerting others.

Hearing that the Japanese had almost finished drinking and started singing ghost songs, Chen Feng was also full, so he threw down a dollar and left the restaurant.
