Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

As night fell, the members of the county brigade sat around the campfire in silence.

Shadan looked at the burning flames silently, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

He knew that tomorrow would be an even more brutal battle.

Some people may wonder why they didn't retreat with these military supplies?

In fact, the situation was far more complicated than imagined. On the one hand, there were not only wounded soldiers in the team, but also so many equipment and rations became a huge burden.

The terrain here is dangerous, like a natural ambush shooting range. As the saying goes, "Only when you are trapped in a desperate situation can you survive." Setting an ambush here is the wisest choice at the moment.

If they continued to retreat with these equipment and food and were pursued by the enemy on the way, the consequences would be disastrous. They would probably end up being wiped out and would have no chance of winning.

Therefore, the only feasible plan at the moment is to stay here for the time being to recuperate and look for a good opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the enemy!

Only by making the enemy suffer and fearful can we stop them from pursuing us relentlessly.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night.

Liu Erzhuang hurried over and reported that he had discovered new movements of the Japanese army.

The county captain looked serious and immediately called his team members together to discuss response strategies.

During the heated discussion, Shadan listened quietly, his brain working rapidly.

For these farmers who had just put down their hoes, the only option was to die together with the enemy. There was no other option.

After all, there are only a handful of people who are born to be commanders. Do you expect to find such a person in this county brigade?

It's better to go to sleep, there's everything in your dreams.

Finally, he stood up and proposed a bold plan - taking advantage of the terrain, setting an ambush and luring the enemy deep into the territory.

"It's a bit of a theory, but it's our only feasible method. What do you think?" The county captain looked at the others and said.

The other team members looked at each other, and finally looked at the county captain, as if to say that it was up to you to decide.

"We have mines and explosive packs, don't we? We can set up explosive packs and booby traps on this road. Even if we can't kill the Japanese, we can at least scare them. Don't you think so?"

The others looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to the county captain.

A hint of surprise flashed across the county captain's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by an expression of recognition.

He patted the silly boy on the shoulder and motioned for him to elaborate on the plan.

Shadan pointed at the map and explained his ideas one by one. After listening, the team members expressed their agreement.

That night, the soldiers of the county brigade began to act according to the plan made by Shadan.

The most tedious and dangerous tasks are digging holes, burying mines and placing explosive packs. If you are not careful, you may accidentally hurt yourself.

Fortunately, this arduous task was not difficult for Liu Erzhuang.

Shadan could only offer suggestions. After all, he had always been a law-abiding citizen and had no idea how to use a knife or a gun, let alone a delicate job like handling a landmine, which required high skills and concentration.

So, Liu Erzhuang was responsible for operating the machine at the front, while Shadan stood aside, observing carefully and asking for advice humbly.

Since he is living in this special era, he must master some skills. Maybe one day he can use these skills to find a way to survive!

Therefore, Shadan studied with extreme concentration, focus and without any sloppiness.

It is said that Fugui, who was recuperating in the rear, learned that support was needed at the front. He endured the pain and dragged his weak body to rush over to help.

When it comes to burying explosive packs, Fugui is really good at it! When he was a little hunter, he was very proficient in hunting. Because of this, he has a high talent in burying explosive packs and setting traps.

As for Shadan, he followed the two of them like a follower, humbly asking for advice and observing and learning.

As time went by, Shadan gradually mastered the essentials and became more and more courageous.

Especially when he thought of the scenes in the TV series such as "Flowers Scattered by the Fairy" and "Chain of Thunder", he was even more excited. It turns out that as long as you know the tricks, you can easily set up these amazing things!

Moreover, once you are familiar with the basics of this industry, you can give full play to your imagination!

Shadan thought: Those fleeing Japanese soldiers will definitely tell the Japanese soldiers supporting them from behind about their defeat.

In this way, they would not foolishly just take the main road, but would definitely send scouts to explore the way on both sides of the valley.

So he started to get busy in the outer valley, skillfully setting up various booby traps and explosive pack traps that he had learned from others.

Before he knew it, it was already dark, but Shadan was still working tirelessly...

It doesn't end here, the next step is to set up mortar positions.

The follow-up matters will be handed over to the county captain, and several team members will be arranged to be responsible for loading ammunition tomorrow.

The next morning, the sky was slightly bright and in the dim light one could see groups of Japanese soldiers pouring in like a tide.

Roughly estimated, this team was at least the size of a battalion, and their formation was like the Japanese invaders entering a village, and they arrived at the valley in a mighty manner.

The team members had already hidden in the deepest parts of both sides of the valley, quietly waiting for the approach of the Japanese army.

Some of the Japanese soldiers who had experienced a fierce battle and managed to escape were now considered to have made amends for their crimes. They hurriedly reported to the Japanese leader that there might be ambushes on both sides of the valley.

Therefore, the Japanese leader acted decisively and quickly dispatched scouts to search.

The result is naturally self-evident, with heavy casualties in the bombing.

The Japanese soldiers quickly stopped and sent out a demining team to clear the mines.

The rest of the large troop walked onto the road without any hesitation.

The result is naturally self-evident. The Japanese soldiers walking in front were also blown to pieces.

There was nothing they could do now, so they had to call back the people who had gone to clear mines on both sides of the valley to clear mines on the road.

After all, the Japanese army knew what to prioritize, and now there was no one to investigate on both sides of the valley.

The deminers were really awesome. They removed the mines they had dug in no time.

In this way, they arrived in the valley in a mighty manner.

"So many people!" The county captain gasped, his eyes fixed on the densely packed Japanese soldiers in the distance that were pressing in like a dark cloud.

His heartbeat involuntarily quickened and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, but was quickly dried by the wind.

Then, he slowly shifted his gaze to the team members around him, and each of their determined and courageous faces came into view.

These are comrades who have fought side by side with him for many years! They have experienced several life-and-death tests, but have never retreated a single step.

The county captain took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "Are you all scared?" Although the voice was not loud, it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

After a brief silence, everyone answered in unison: "We are not afraid! We will fight the devils to the death!"
