Chapter 49: The Snow Fox Independent Regiment is Formed

  Xiao Feng's speed was very fast, and after five minutes, all the special forces had gathered. Two military pickup trucks also slowly stopped on the runway. The truck was loaded with weapons and ammunition that had just been captured.

  "Xuan Ge, brothers have arrived." Xiao Feng said, adjusting the sling of his Mauser 98K sniper rifle.

  Shan Yixuan nodded and walked to the front of his brothers, saying: "Brothers, from now on, Qingteng Yimutu's subordinates and everyone are just brothers, we must take care of each other."

  Shan Yixuan's words shocked everyone, just a few days ago they were enemies, now they are going to be brothers? Everyone looked at Shan Yixuan as if they had misheard.

  "I can understand everyone's feelings now, just a few days ago, we were fighting each other to the death. Indeed, Qingteng Yimut and his subordinates are Japanese, in this current situation, with frequent outbreaks of Sino-Japanese war, we have an irreconcilable feud with the Japanese, wanting to coexist peacefully is indeed somewhat difficult. Emotions take time to cultivate, not all Japanese people are bad, just like not all Chinese people are good, I hope everyone understands this truth. I hereby declare, officially naming Qingteng Yimut's subordinates as the Qīnglóng Zhài Xuěhú Dúlì Zòngduì!"

  Shan Yixuan finished speaking and was the first to applaud, followed by everyone else clapping in rhythm with him.

  "Appoint the special warfare team as the Ling Hu Strike Team." As soon as Dan Yixuan finished speaking, a round of applause burst forth, forming a stark contrast with the gentle patter of rain that had just fallen.

  "Qīngténg yìmù, ràng nǐ de rén lǐng wǔqì ba!" Dān Yìxuān kàn xiàng Qīngténg yìmù, jìrán zìjǐ zhāo nà le rénjiā, wǔqì fāngmiàn yòu zěn chéng tuō ní dài shuǐ?

  Seito Ichimoku nodded excitedly, as a Japanese soldier, he never thought that he would receive such treatment on the battlefield in a foreign land. Although this also means becoming a rebel army, thinking about the Emperor's plan and the so-called blueprint for hegemony, nothing makes him feel cold-blooded. "Salute to the Commander!" Seito Ichimoku shouted in Japanese.

  All Japanese military officers gave Shanhe a standard military salute. This means that the troops have officially become an armed force with Shanhe as its core, and they will leave brilliant achievements on the battlefield in China.

  The establishment of the Snow Fox Strike Team made all Japanese people wearing Japanese military uniforms pick up their guns again and return to their posts. In order to prevent the Snow Fox Independent Brigade from being undisciplined, violating discipline, etc., Shan Yixuan formulated new rules and regulations and implemented them throughout the independent brigade immediately.

  Japanese soldiers patrolling the main street of Yan City appeared again, but they didn't look as domineering and intimidating as before. The appearance of the Japanese people shrouded the entire city of Yan in a layer of gloom once more. The residents of Yan City scattered in all directions like they had seen a ghost. But this time, not a single Japanese person was acting recklessly on the street. This couldn't help but shock many residents.

  "Commander, the hangar has been repaired! What's your next move?" Qingteng Yimut walked up to Shan Yixuan's side, looking at this person who made him believe he had the ability to change the world.

  Shan Yixuan looked at the map from the tower platform and asked softly: "If you were me, what would you do next?"

  Qīngténg Yìmù cautiously said: "How dare I take the place of the commander!" Every word Qīngténg Yìmù spoke to Shān Yìxuān was carefully chosen.

  "Haha!" Shan Yixuan laughed and said, "You're too cautious. Use the radio to contact the Japanese military headquarters and tell them that Yangcheng Airport is complete and all defensive facilities are ready for use. Also, tell them that the air defense facilities are not yet perfect and need anti-aircraft guns!"

  Shan Yixuan's words made Qingteng Yimu take a cold breath, although he had thought about his purpose before, but still shocked.

  "I'll contact headquarters with the radio right now!"

  Qingteng Yimut finished speaking and beckoned to one of the Snow Fox brothers, who quickly set up the radio. Qingteng Yimut glanced at Shan Yixuan, then picked up the microphone on the radio and dialed a string of numbers in Morse code. A few minutes later, a piece of paper came out from the radio, which Qingteng Yimut handed to Shan Yixuan.

  He took the note, which clearly read: First of all, congratulations to Mr. Qingmu for successfully completing the task. Within a week, all high-altitude cannons at Xuzhou Airport will be transported to Yangcheng. At the same time, 15 Type 97 fighter jets from Xuzhou Airport will fly to Yangcheng Airport together. The shells will be delivered the next day. In recognition of Mr. Qingmu's contributions to building the airport, he is specially promoted to Commander-in-Chief of Yangcheng Airport.

  Shan Yixuan smiled and said, "Congratulations to Qingmu for being promoted to the commander of Yangcheng Airport!" The latter smiled awkwardly and said, "Commander, don't tease me!"

  "Alright, from now on don't call me Commander anymore. I'm used to hearing Xuan Ge, you can just call me that along with Xiao Feng and the others!" Shuang Yi Xuan handed the note to Qing Tian Yi Mu, saying with a smile.

  "Hai yi, Xuan ge!" -> "Hi, Brother Xuan!"

  A large number of Japanese troops reappeared in the airport, making Zhao Wensing, the commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, worried. The independent regiment had already settled down in Yangcheng, and the Japanese troops inside Yangcheng never showed their faces to the people of the independent regiment, which made Zhao Wensing somewhat flustered. Were they Sun Yixian's men or devils?

  "Report to the team leader, the policy has come back." The guard's voice had just fallen when Zheng Wen walked into the house. Zhao Wensing poured a glass of water and handed it over, saying: "How is it, what tasks have been assigned by the headquarters this time?"

  Zheng Wen took the cup of water and said in a low voice, "Headquarters has ordered us to investigate whether the Japanese troops at Yangcheng Airport are enemies or friends. If they are enemies, we will blow up the runway at Yangcheng Airport. In a few days, the Japanese 97th aircraft from Xuzhou Airport will be transferred to Yangcheng Airport. If the devils succeed in transferring their planes, it will pose the greatest threat to the air domain of the E Yu Wan War Zone." Zheng Wen took a sip of water and looked at Zhao Wensing.

  Zhao Wenzhen furrowed his brow, sighed and said: "Recently, Yangcheng has been plagued by strange occurrences. The ghosts seem to have changed into humans, they don't take or rob, but instead always avoid us. I suspect that this group of ghosts is being controlled by Shan Yixuan?"

  "I asked Old Zhao, you really think highly of this surname Shan?" Zheng Wen heard it again and had something to do with the bandit from Qinglong Village, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

  Zhao Wenzhen nodded and said, "It's not that I think highly of him, but he indeed has this ability! From the battle at Yilin, it's not hard to see that Shan Yixuan is a rare talent! We should still communicate with Shan Yixuan and try our best to pull him into our anti-Japanese army. When he didn't let us attack the airport earlier, there must have been a reason for it."

  Zheng Wen thought for a moment and felt that Zhao Wenzhong was still right, asking: "What do you plan to do? I heard that the devils will be moving their planes from Xuzhou to Yangcheng in the next few days, should we fight or not?"

  "Report, there's someone outside the door who says they want to see the squad leader!" The guard interrupted their conversation.

  Zhao Wenzhen looked towards the outside of the door and saw Shan Yixuan being blocked by his own guards, smiled and said: "Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives." Zheng Wen shook his head helplessly, and the two walked out together.

  Shan Yixuan saw the two of them walking out of the original Devil's headquarters and couldn't help but sigh, saying: "The two commanders are really busy people, it's not easy to see you!" Along the way, there were sentries from the Eighth Route Army everywhere, and in addition, many plainclothesmen were patrolling the streets.

  Zhao Wenxing smiled awkwardly and asked: "Brother Shan came here, won't it be just to squeeze us two?"

  "Of course not!" Shan Yixuan looked at the two people and said: "I have something I'd like to ask for your help, leaders!"

  The two of them were stunned for a moment. Although they hadn't been with Shan Yixuan for long, the word "ask" coming from his mouth still surprised them. Shan Yixuan and Zhao Wenxing walked into the house, looking at the simple furnishings inside. The Eighth Route Army, which had moved to the devil's headquarters, was not luxurious either.

  "Yi Xuan, speak up! What's the matter that requires the help of us two old bones?" Zhao Wenxing said, holding a cup of water as he walked to Yi Xuan's side.

  "The devils at Yangcheng Airport have been controlled by me, they are now my people! Two days later, several Japanese 95 fighter planes will fly over Yangcheng Airport, I hope your department will not panic and cause unfavorable losses to both sides!" Shan Yixuan looked at the two men, if the plane flew over Yangcheng's airspace and encountered armed anti-aircraft fire in the "Japanese-controlled" area, it would lead to the failure of Shan Yixuan's entire plan. The possible loss was not just a few 97 fighter planes, but also a large-scale air raid by the enemy.

  "Are you in control?" Zhao Wenzhong couldn't help but pause, then asked: "The devils at the airport, are they the ones you captured?" Regarding the reappearance of the devils in Yangcheng, Zhao Wenzhong was very uncertain. Are these Japanese troops really on the same side as the Chinese or waiting for an opportunity?

  Shan Yixuan nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes, the Japanese troops that appeared in Yangcheng are the same devils who surrounded me at Cuihualou the other day. The leader, Qingteng Yimu, has already brought his soldiers to surrender to me!"

  "Yi Xuan, people's hearts are separated by a layer of skin. I always feel that this matter won't be so simple, right?" Zhao Wenxing said with some concern. Indeed, the devils have been killing and setting fires on Chinese soil, doing all sorts of evil things. To say that they truly surrender requires strong persuasive power.

  Shan Yixuan smiled and said, "Hehe, thank you for your kind intentions, Commander Zhao. To be honest, I'm also a bit worried. But the arrow is on the string and can't help but be shot. I know this move is risky, but I couldn't think of any other way to achieve my plan ahead of time!" He paused for a moment before continuing, "Once these devils truly surrender, their value will no longer be just over a thousand prisoners, but an anti-Japanese army of over a thousand people!"

  Zhao Wenzhen lit a cigarette, took a deep breath of cool air and said: "Alright, I'll pass on the order as soon as possible. When the plane flies over Yangcheng, I'll have my men hide as much as possible so the devils won't discover any weaknesses. My men, I'm absolutely confident... your people..."
