Chapter 48: Snow Fox Independent Brigade

  Shan Yixuan took a cup of tea handed over by Liu San, looking at the scene unfolding according to his predetermined plan from the control room, and couldn't help but think that it was all bound to happen sooner or later. For the upcoming Xuzhou battle, let you see it first!

  This news brought a fatal blow to the Qingteng Yimu team, and the soldiers who were originally sworn to die for the emperor are now depressed. As long as Shan Yixuan is slightly deceived, the 1,500 people in front of him can be used by himself.

  "Xuan Ge's move is really high, it's really high!" Liu San exclaimed, looking at the dejected Japanese soldiers.

  Shan Yixuan took a sip of tea, smiled and said: "I want to establish my own base in Yangcheng, this will be the headquarters from now on." Shan Yixuan looked at the overall effect diagram of the entire airport, picked up his pen and modified several insufficient places in the original weapon settings. The entire airport's firepower configuration was instantly perfect. Shan Yixuan nodded with satisfaction, took the drawing paper and handed it to Liu San: "Go find a few skilled civilian masons, build fortresses according to the marked positions on this diagram, don't skimp on cement and sand, brothers' lives are more important than sand!"

  Liu San took over the drawings, nodded and said: "Good, I'll go right away!" Then he turned around and walked out.

  The blueprint not only marked the location and size of the apron to be built at the airport, but also specifically noted that it was required to be solid, without requiring speed. The construction of Yangcheng Airport is an internal matter of the Japanese army, and the Japanese Army and Air Force Headquarters are eagerly awaiting the completion of Yangcheng Airport and its use. Of course, the requirements for the Yangcheng Qingteng One Wood Team are met. In this way, Shan Yixuan solved the problem of material defects, with such a powerful team supporting him behind his back, Shan Yixuan felt relieved.

  He looked at his soldiers with a despondent expression and said, "I brought you from our country to the Southeast Asian battlefield, and then from the Southeast Asian battlefield to the Chinese battlefield. You have always been my best soldiers. We fought bloody battles on foreign soil for a common faith, but our emperor, for personal gain, foolishly wants to dominate the mainland. Now, we are retreating in defeat on the Chinese battlefield, and the emperor comes up with such an absurd plan to boost morale! This is a shame for a soldier, a stain on our nation!"

  Seito Ichimoku paused for a moment, then continued: "I know I may not be worthy of being an imperial soldier. From the moment I chose to surrender, I felt the two words 'military man' quietly leave my body. But I have no regrets, at least you are all still alive! The Emperor has launched this global disaster, and many people around the world have become orphans, starving on the streets because of war. Now the Emperor has actually appointed our own family members to serve as targets for us soldiers to vent our frustrations... To be honest, I have completely lost faith in the Empire."

  Everyone stood up and stared blankly at Seiichi Aoki, who was still speaking. What he said was what many soldiers thought in their hearts but didn't dare to say out loud.

  "As an imperial officer, my duty is to protect the country. When I saw this message, my heart was broken. Although I didn't want to believe it's true, at that moment, I made a decision in my heart - I will stay and help Dan Yixuan drive our people out. Even if it means going to military court, it's still better than regretting for the rest of my life! Those who are willing to stay can stay, those who aren't, I'll entrust Dan Yixuan to send you back to your homeland." Qingteng let out a long sigh.

  Shan Yixuan walked out of the tower, many people had already stood with Qingteng Yimut on one side, and many were still hesitating. This was a turning point for their national beliefs, they needed time to consider and transform. Suddenly in a foreign battlefield, due to certain beliefs, aiming guns at their own comrades, no matter who it was, required a certain amount of courage.

  Dan Yixuan walked up to Qingteng Yimuwu and said in Japanese, "How's my proposal? Follow me! The faith of our Chinese nation is the most suitable for human survival and prosperity. Since ancient times, no aggressor has ever had a good ending. Your Japanese Empire was a failure from the start. Decades later, your descendants will be ashamed of what you've done if they find out!"

  "I know, I've decided to follow you, but some of my subordinates may not..." Qingteng Yimutu hesitated and looked at the soldiers who didn't stand with him.

  Shan Yixuan raised an eyebrow and walked to a Japanese soldier, asking with a hint of arrogance: "What, don't you want to follow me?" Shan Yixuan's icy voice made the soldier shiver.

  "Nothing... nothing..." This person has witnessed Single Yixuan's brutal killings many times, and standing in front of him, he can feel how small he is. As a steel warrior who also walked out of the rain of bullets, Single Yixuan gives people a sense of reliability, while they, the more you look at them, the more annoying they become. What kind of soldiers are they to talk about defending their homes and country?

  Shan Yuxuan's icy words made several hundred people move to the other side, and the fear in their hearts still hadn't dissipated. In their minds, a strange sense of awe had already formed towards Shan Yuxuan.

  In an instant, among the 1,500 people, there were still dozens of people who were hesitant. Shan Yixuan looked at these dozen or so people and said: "If you don't want to follow me, I will send you back to your country!" These dozen or so people were all station guards, rarely interacting with Qingteng Yimutu's people, nor were they brought over by Qingteng Yimutu from the East Asian battlefield. They had a kind of unruliness in their bones, and a notion that looked down on Qingteng Yimutu.

  Shan Yixuan strode to a comrade's side, took the light machine gun from his hand, and with practiced ease loaded the bullets, turned around, aimed... fired. Dozens of people fell down in fear and confusion, just a minute ago they were still fantasizing about returning home, one minute later their souls indeed returned home, leaving behind only an icy corpse.

  "You... Kaito, didn't you promise me that you would send back to my country those who wouldn't be with me?" Seiichi Aoki stared blankly at the dozens of Japanese soldiers lying in a pool of blood, some of whom hadn't even had time to close their eyes.

  "Yes, I've already done it. Their souls have been freed and now they want to return home, completely free. Once the war against Japan is over, I will send their ashes back to you in Japan." Jian Yixuan glanced at Qingteng Yimutou, then looked at all the Japanese people, saying: "Before that, I don't want anyone who doesn't share my heart to leave from here. Since you've chosen me, you must learn to be loyal, just as you are loyal to your emperor, you must also be loyal to me! If there's anyone among you who can't do this, then I will send you back to your homeland too!"

  Shan Yixuan's icy words shocked everyone, and they were glad they had chosen to stand on the same side as Qingteng Yimutu.

  Looking at the over 1,400 people in front of him, Shan Yixuan said loudly: "Since you have chosen to be loyal to me, then you are my brothers. I know that some of you may find it unbelievable - how can Chinese people become brothers with their sworn enemies? Yes, you are the enemies of my Chinese nation, but the root of this hatred is not you, so we can become brothers. From today on, I hope you will be the first anti-Japanese special forces team formed by Japanese people themselves. I name this unit the Snow Fox Independent Brigade, with Qingteng Yim as deputy commander and myself, Shan Yixuan, as commander! Any objections?"

  As soon as Shan Yixuan's words fell, almost everyone said in unison: "No!"

  For such a neat answer, Shan Yixuan still felt very satisfied. This was the first step in his successful plan. This is also the first anti-Japanese column established by Japanese people in the Chinese Anti-Japanese War Zone.

  "Qīngténg Yīmù, from now on, the Snow Fox Independent Regiment will be handed over to you." Shān Yìxuān patted Qīngténg Yīmù's shoulder. To be honest, this risky move was quite thrilling, if Qīngténg Yīmù had changed his mind at the moment he got the weapon, all of Shān Yìxuān's plans would have been disrupted. But Shān Yìxuān still chose to make this risky move.

  "Commander, I don't want my subordinates and our own people to have too much conflict. If it's not necessary, can we not use the Snow Fox Independent Brigade?" Qingteng Yimut looked at Shan Yixuan, his own people killing each other was something a soldier least wanted to see.

  "Alright, later when there aren't any major tasks, I'll have my special forces team teach your infantry training. Is that okay?" Shan Yixuan said as he thought about whether or not to give Xiao Feng and the others a code name...

  "Ah-ha!" Qingteng Yimulisheng said with a straight face.

  Shan Yixuan waved his hand at Xiao Feng, who was keeping watch as a sniper in the distance. Xiao Feng quickly ran to Shan Yixuan's side and said, "Brother Xuan!"

  "This is Qingteng Yimutu, his Chinese is quite fluent, you can exchange more when you have time." Shuang Yixuan pointed to Qingteng Yimutu beside him and said to Xiao Feng.

  Xiao Feng glanced at the green Teng wood in front of him, and his eyes showed a hint of disdain.

  Shan Yixuan smiled and said, "Xiao Feng, from now on, Qingteng Yimu and we are brothers. The soldiers in front of you are also our brothers, and they will fight against the enemy with us! So, from now on, you must not be rude to these brothers!"

  Xiao Feng was stunned and thought to himself: "What's wrong with Xuan Ge? How can Japanese people be brothers with us?"

  "Please take care of me from now on, Brother Xiao Feng!" Qingteng Yimut said sincerely to Xiao Feng.

  Xiao Feng pursed his lips, glanced at Shan Yixuan, and reluctantly nodded.

  "Go, gather the brothers, I have something to say. Also, transport all the guns and ammunition to the airport." Xiang Yixuan patted Xiao Feng's shoulder, some things that didn't quite add up would just have to be digested in his heart for now. Complete understanding and friendly interaction required a transition period, a grinding-in period.
