Chapter Thirty-Six: The Waves of the Yangtze River

  It's time to write down the truth, because my current environment has no electricity, purely typing in the dark, and even the computer only has 95% battery left, but I firmly believe that I can finish writing today, I firmly believe that everyone will collect it for me.

  War has always been ruthless and will not end because of one person's sacrifice or capture. Just as Wang Yuanyi was captured, Guan Linzheng and his party arrived at the foot of King Wang Mountain. King Wang Mountain is not very high, but there is only one way to climb up, with a cliff behind and strange rocks standing tall.

  Guan Lin led his thousand men to hide in the forest between the mountains. He saw the array set up by the soldiers in front, with thick stacks of sacks and geographical advantages, making a frontal assault extremely unlikely to succeed.

  At this time, Guan Lin thought of the tactics used by special forces during the Eastern Expedition to attack the enemy's command center from behind a mountain. He said to those around him, "During the Eastern Expedition, a young wolf-like soldier climbed up the mountain and launched a surprise attack on the enemy's command center, earning great fame in one battle. Everyone can see that there is also a steep cliff on Mount Daiwang, which proves that the slope is very steep. We don't have a high probability of charging up, and although they are sending a large force to rescue Wang Yuanyi, that fool, we need to consider two things: first, the pressure from the enemy's forces, and second, the enemy's reaction. This battle cannot be delayed, so I have decided to lead the troops myself, climbing up the cliff to launch a special operation."

  "Squad leader, are you okay? Look at me, I've been beaten down to this level by that scoundrel Li Donghao." A veteran company commander who followed Guan Linzheng said with great indignation.

  "Silly kid, it's not that you're not capable, but what does it have to do with me? In the past, I also followed my superiors on southern and northern expeditions, and I learned a lot about special operations. Climbing mountains and crossing ridges is not a difficult task either. It's just that such an honorable thing, how many people are willing to participate with me?" Guan Linzheng looked around.

  "Me, me, me." Hands shot up all over the forest, no one dared to shout out, but their faces were filled with longing.

  "You, are there any brothers at home?" Guan Linzheng asked, patting a sturdy Shandong man on the shoulder.

  "I have an elder brother serving under Commander Ye Ting, and a younger brother studying in Beijing. My name is Ma Dexing." The lieutenant colonel said excitedly.

  "Kid, I saw your marksmanship was pretty good when we broke through just now. Follow me up later and focus on taking out the enemy's firepower points. If you amount to something, who knows, maybe one day you'll become a commander or something."

  "Squad leader, I believe what you said. The fortune teller said that our family will produce at least three generals." The Shandong man exclaimed excitedly.

  "Alright, stop bragging, what's your name?" Guan Linzheng continued to ask.

  "Zhao Kai Ran, at home there is an older brother," The soldier, although a sergeant, had eyes full of hope.

  "En, gong fu bu cuo, gen zhe qu," Guan Linzheng nodded.

  "Thank you, Captain." Zhao Kaiyan excitedly replied.

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  After a while, Guan Linzheng found more than 100 people and stood in the woods, speaking softly. "Everyone I've found has some skills, either good marksmanship or good hand-to-hand combat skills. Today we're going to carry out our mission. Originally, our mission was to launch a surprise attack on Wang Yuanyi, but since Wang Yuanyi was captured and his troops didn't show any signs of panic, it proves that there are still big fish in their command center. Our goal is to take them down. Does everyone have confidence?"

  "Yes!" the soldiers all drank together.

  "Good, worthy of being my subordinate." Guan Linzheng nodded and said, "The soldiers who were not selected will launch a feint attack on the enemy's command center in half an hour. The time is one hour. One hour later, the enemy troops will definitely surround you, but don't be afraid. Turn back to 439 high ground, then rush down again. As long as you break through the defense line here, you can return to Niu Hang."

  "Squad leader, what about you?" an old soldier asked, "How will you retreat? If the sneak attack fails, how are we supposed to support you."

  "Cover me, cover me and I'm done. If the sneak attack fails, it means I'm already dead. Turn back and tell our superiors that I'm very dissatisfied with Wang Boling, that piece of trash. If he's still alive when he gets back, take him down for me, so he won't continue to harm the party and the country." Guan Linzheng said after some thought.

  "Sir, don't worry. If you were to sacrifice yourself, we wouldn't need you to lift a finger. We'll take care of that useless Wang Boling and Cheng Qian ourselves." The old soldiers knew they couldn't help the captain in any other way, so this was all they could do.

  "Alright, one by one with a sullen face, this is the plan set by our superiors. Haven't we already locked up Wang Yuan-yi? How could they have expected us to launch a surprise attack on them? This is quite a good strategy." Guan Linzheng patted the shoulders of the new recruits and charged forward amidst their thoughtful gazes.

  When the gunfire sounded in front of Wangshan, the people behind also put ropes on the wooden stakes on the mountain, along the rocks and vines, constantly climbing up, although there was no road, but they could move forward slowly.

  Guan Linzheng was extremely unlucky, he felt that his luck had even reached the point of defying heaven. The mountain wasn't particularly high, but just as he climbed halfway up, a column of water came pouring down from above, and someone was actually urinating on him. The urine had a bitter taste to it. Guan Linzheng had an urge to kill at that moment, but he restrained himself. However, the person who urinated looked down and saw his little bird, as well as the dense crowd of people climbing the mountain below.

  "The enemy is launching a sneak attack from the rear mountain!" The shout echoed throughout the top of Daiwang Mountain, Guan Lin Xing cursed silently, could only let everyone speed up their pace, since they had climbed to the middle of the mountain, they couldn't retreat no matter what.

  At this moment, Chiang Fangzhen was sitting in the command center with a furious face. He had already received the news that Wang Yuanyi was surrounded and might even be captured. He knew his plan had been detected by the enemy, but he still didn't know what the reaction of the opposing side would be. It's impossible to simply surround Wang Yuanyi like this. Since the commander on the opposite side could see through his moves, he must have the ability to counterattack. But where exactly was their counterattack point?

  Just as he was hesitating, the soldier's shout reminded him that the enemy had been targeting him from the start, and Mount Daiyu was their ultimate goal. No wonder a group of people at the foot of the mountain suddenly launched a fierce attack on him.

  However, Jiang Fangzhen couldn't help but admire the excellence of the commander opposite him. They chose this moment when his own men were still on their way back from retreating, and the enemy led by Niu Xing even launched a counterattack, greatly slowing down the retreat speed of his troops. In other words, for a period of time, they were the ones attacking Mount Daiwang.

  What's even more detestable is that our main force can only be placed on the front of the mountain, while another small unit has quietly climbed up from behind.

  If he hadn't gone to the bathroom himself, he might have been replaced here. Thinking of this, Jiang Fangzhen felt a sense of melancholy. The Yangtze River's rear waves push forward, but he also had to fight well and not let these young people look down on him.
