Chapter 657 A cigarette of victory? (two-in-one chapter)
So what! From the performance, it sounds like Hu Biao’s statement about going back now to take a little rest and sneaking back to compete with the Japanese team in the evening is a bit unreliable.
Even such a statement can be described as extremely crazy.
However, if you think about it carefully, it is actually very practical and has a high success rate:
First of all, thanks to the number of combatants in the Central Continent team, the invisible ranking of the first team in the entire system; then, after excluding the 9 people who died in the battle and the 4 people who had difficulty moving after being injured, there are still 33 people.
Even if each of these 33 people has some injuries, they will have little impact on their combat effectiveness.
In other words, the manpower currently available to the Central Continent Team is 33, which is more than the number of personnel in many system teams.
It can be said that the strength of the team is still quite well preserved, and it has not suffered any devastating blows.
On the contrary, according to the information provided by the Maozi team, the maximum number of members of the island team is only 35;
Out of caution, I calculated a little more and calculated that they have 40 people.
What is certain about the casualties of the island team is that 5 of them were killed by Poluo and others on the battlefield of the starting position, and at least 6 died on the northern battlefield.
Even under the most conservative calculation, the island team has now lost 11 people, and all of them are core members with blood.
Counting this way, the island nation’s team is overwhelming and the remaining number is only 30 people.
33 people faced off against the opponent's 30 people. This battle still has to be fought.
Secondly, as for the "Collective Obliteration Immunity Scroll", a good thing that is at the bottom of the box, it can be said that it has always been the top secret of the Central Continent team and is extremely well protected.
Not to mention the members of other teams, they don’t even know about the existence of this thing.
Even Lao Hei, Tiedan, and King Kong who joined last time didn't know that Hu Biao had such a treasure in his hands before they used it.
At that time, they were still waiting with fear for the obliteration to happen.
Therefore, the Japs don't even know about this. They must still be happily celebrating that Zhongzhou Modern has just wiped out 10 people, right?
And even the Nakasu team doesn’t know that there are 45 people in the island country team.
In this way, the island country team must think that there are only about ten people left in the Central Continent team, and because of the system's erasure, morale is in a huge low.
The island team must not have expected Hu Biao's sneak attack at night, so they relaxed their vigilance.
If the Central Continent team goes to do something at night, they can definitely catch them by surprise.
Finally, there is a situation that I don’t know whether it is good news or not, that is, the bodies and relics of a part of the Central Continent team who died in battle were left on the northern battlefield.
Among them, AT, Mad Dog, and Qingtian were carrying a pack of sand cigarettes.
Forget about AT and Qingtian, after the 5 kilograms of explosives exploded on their bodies, the bag of sand smoke on their bodies should have been destroyed long ago.
But the bag of sand smoke on the mad dog that was stabbed to death should be able to survive.
But even so, a whole pack of 20 sand cigarettes can allow 20 island team members to enjoy the cordial greetings from China.
The only problem is that Lao Hu’s sand is extremely smoky.
To this day, no one can figure out its triggering mechanism or its more specific effects; no one is very sure whether this thing is effective.
Therefore, it cannot be regarded as a definite disappearance of benefits, it can only be regarded as a vague hope in everyone's hearts.
Another point is that the information gap has finally been reversed.
In the past, the island country team knew a lot of information in advance and dug a big hole for the Central Continent team by deliberate calculation or unintentional calculation. Now, the situation has been reversed.
It really proves the old saying: Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi.
In short, after understanding the above situation, the previous depression in the hearts of everyone in the Central Continent team immediately disappeared, but the spirits of everyone also became uplifted.
Even Ma Huanzi and the few remaining veterans, Youzi, looked refreshed after seeing Hu Biao and others cheering up again.
As for everyone in the Zhongzhou team, why did they take the initiative to fight with the island country team when the system did not release a mission?
Even the rewards of the system are no longer valued.
Regarding this point, it can only be said that among the current Central Continent team, rewards related to system tasks are no longer the most important thing to them.
What is important to them now is how to kill these bastards from the island country...
Just when Hu Biao and others had made up their minds to take revenge tonight, a rush of footsteps came from behind the position.
That was Commander Wang of the Honorary First Division. After seeing the guard company escorting him to the Wu Tuan seat, he knew that the battle here in the supplementary regiment was going to a huge disadvantage.
In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating, a company of troops was quickly dispatched to support them.
With the limited strength of such a company, it is impossible to continue the attack relying on them; their purpose of arriving here is to guard this starting position to avoid being destroyed by the Japanese.
At the same time, those who led the team came with the divisional staff and gave preliminary orders that the remnants of the supplementary regiment and the baggage regiment could immediately retreat to rest and recuperate.
He said that he would go down to rest first and wait for more information about Wu Tuanzuo's injury.
Under such an order, Hu Biao and others began to carry the bodies of their comrades, supported and carried the wounded, and began to silently exit the place that left them with great pain.
After walking for more than an hour, the remaining group of more than 100 defeated soldiers came to a temporary camp.

However, after arriving here, before Hu Biao could arrange some follow-up matters, Uncle Sam's war reporter Ross had already walked up.
Xu experienced the first real battle in his life.
After a battle that may not be worth mentioning in terms of scale, but was absolutely bloody in process.
Ross, a civilian member of the army, underwent a transformation after personally experiencing brutal bloodshed and death.
He no longer had his usual cowboy-like attitude, and solemnly saluted Hu Biao with a soldier's military salute.
He said: "Hu, my dear partner and comrade-in-arms, I'm sorry that I have to leave here soon. I can no longer carry out the plans between us, let alone fight side by side with you."
After hearing this, Hu Biao thought about their plans and was about to say something, but Rose interrupted Hu Biao's idea of saying something.
He continued to speak:
"My dear comrades, please believe me Ross, it is not Ross who became a deserter because of fear."
While saying this, he pointed to the camera hanging around his neck and other shooting tools, and solemnly stated his true intention:
"The things captured here can make the people of Uncle Sam's family, and even the entire Western world, more aware of your suffering and dedication, so I want to release them as soon as possible.
In this way, the effect will definitely be greater than if a rookie like me picks up a weapon and fights.
So I will leave soon, and I will definitely get to Baoshan Airport tonight so that I can go to my third brother’s house via the Camelback route tomorrow, and then find a way to send these things back as quickly as possible and publish them in the newspaper.”
After listening to Rose's thoughts, Hu Biao couldn't say anything anymore.
Indeed, if a plan like Ross's is successfully implemented, as long as it successfully creates some favorable public opinion, a little more oil and water will leak out from the fingers of Uncle Sam, a wealthy family.
For the current Chinese nation, it is a huge asset that can save them many lives and suffer a lot in the process of fighting away the Japanese.
In the plan that Hu Biao had finalized with Ross, the things about getting some weapons were not worth mentioning in comparison.
But now, Hu Biao no longer cares about wasting points. After starting to redeem weapons from the system mall, it no longer matters whether those plans to obtain weapons are implemented or not.
For this reason, Hu Biao turned around and shouted: "War song, war song, come here quickly."
"What's going on?" Zhan Ge, who was assisting the orthopedic surgeon and others in arranging the wounded, quickly ran over and asked.
Pointing at the confused Ross, Hu Biao said with great enthusiasm:
"Our good friend and comrade-in-arms Mr. Ross is leaving. Go get thirty pairs of socks from Lao Yang. Remember to get a few pairs of various colors and styles so that Mr. Ross can take them away."
"This, this is too valuable." It can be said that Ross was instantly defeated by Hu Biao's generous move.
In this state, Hu Biao held the other party's hand tightly and said sincerely:
"It's nothing, this little thing is nothing to our friendship; besides, I also hope to see your report as soon as possible, so part of it can be used to open up the relationship."
After hearing this, Ross nodded his head heavily.
He reassured himself: "Don't worry, my friend, as long as the person I'm dealing with is a lady, or there's a lady in their family, they won't be able to resist the power of these socks~"
******
Mr. Ross, a true international friend, left, taking 30 pairs of socks with him.
Perhaps these unexpected socks not only healed some of Mr. Ross's inner pain, but also gave him greater confidence in his next work.
Anyway, this was a war reporter at Uncle Sam's house, and he seemed to be in a good mood when he left.
It was only when Hu Biao sent him off that he turned around and realized that their original plan to have a good rest after coming back was a bit unrealistic for them to start the operation at ten o'clock in the evening.
The main reason is that they still have many things to do and need to be busy.
For example, it takes a lot of time to formulate an action plan for the night and prepare the weapons and equipment needed at that time.
It's possible to go back and fall asleep without caring about anything.
Therefore, after sending Mr. Ross away, Hu Biao and others began to get busy; but before they formulated a battle plan, there was still a more important thing to do:
That is to find a good place to bury all the people who died in the battle.
Finally, after searching for a long time, they found a sunny slope nearby, dug out a row of grave pits, and buried the corpses that had been tidied up one after another.
I believe that at this time next year, the wildflowers on this sunny slope will bloom more brilliantly than in previous years.
During such a process, everyone was in a very low mood. No one spoke, and everyone just silently did what they were doing.
Until something speechless happened before their eyes without any warning.
Another male, two females, and three plump wild dogs suddenly sprang out and broke into such a silent funeral scene. As a result, Tiedan held the Garand rifle in his hand and said,
He was shot dead on the spot.
Seeing this, Zhan Ge couldn't help but ask Hu Biao:
"Lao Hu, why don't you get some radishes later and stew the dog meat again? Then you can use it as a sacrifice to pay homage to these dolls; you must know that many of them were thinking about them before they died, hoping to eat them.
Stop this thing.
Otherwise, if the weather is so hot, the dog meat will go bad in a short time."
Faced with such a proposal, Hu Biao hesitated for a moment and then gave his answer:
"Let's stew it tomorrow, because this little food is not enough as a sacrifice. It will only be grand tomorrow when we throw in the heads of some island nation troops and Japanese soldiers and pile them here as a sacrifice.
As for the fear of dog meat deteriorating, any space ring can be put into it as long as it is not a living creature, and it will never go bad if left inside.
After cleaning up these wild dogs today, just throw them into the space ring."
Under such an answer, everyone in the team had no objections and continued to start such a funeral.
Just because of the matter of using a Japanese soldier's head as a sacrifice, after Hu Biao mentioned it, the faint murderous look in their eyes became even heavier...
While the Zhongzhou team was busy burying their comrades.
Compared with the current situation of the Central Continent team, which is filled with depression and anger, in the mother castle on the north side of Songzi Mountain, it is in a state of great joy.
Because now, the island country's team has driven those Japanese soldiers to the outside position where they are setting up their positions.
These people were holding a post-war meeting after the victory, with a celebration ceremony outside.
When they were sitting together, there were several corpses that should be members of the Central Continent team in front of them, as well as related relics, specifically including:
The large intestine and the mad dog are relatively complete corpses.
The green protective goggles of the AT, the still-complete blood core protected by the protective goggles, and the large green blade.
The pair of mad dog's teeth are like small tiger teeth, the wolf fangs that look a bit Q, and the sharp system item Long Xiang Dao.
There are also some deformed M1911 pistols, P08 Ruger pistols, M1 carbines, Thompson and other submachine guns, which look like the equipment of soldiers at first glance.
By the way! Among the trophies, there are two full packs of sand cigarettes.
One of the packs of sand cigarettes was naturally dug out from the mad dog's body; the remaining pack was picked up by them while cleaning the battlefield.
I don’t know whether it was Mad Dog or AT, who had the pack of sand cigarettes miraculously preserved in the 5 kilograms of explosives.
Even now it seems to be in pretty good condition.
It is a pity that the personnel cleaning the battlefield of the island country team did not pay attention to these details when they discovered such a handful of sand smoke.
It was completely mistaken for supplies that someone from the Central Continent team accidentally dropped during the battle.
Looking at these seizures with satisfaction, Yamamoto Aio looked very proud and encouraged his men.
After all, in his plan, he will rely on the active fighting of these people to completely kill the Central Continent team while the iron is hot.
"Gentlemen, although our plan encountered some accidents during the implementation, we did not achieve the original goal of annihilating the Central Continent team in the first phase of the mission.
But you don’t have to worry, because it’s just to let the remaining people in the Zhongzhou team live a little longer.
Because according to Michiko and I's analysis, it can be confirmed that in the first stage of the battle, Yokota and the others must have encountered some members of the Nakasu team, otherwise they could have successfully escaped even if they could not defeat them.
So given Yokota's strength, they can at least defeat opponents of the same size.
If the battle here is included, it can be basically determined that at least 10 people of the Zhongzhou team died in this battle; plus the 10 people who were wiped out, that is 20 people died.
According to intelligence, the Central Continent Team is only a team of 30 people, so they now have at most 11 people left; among them, the number of bloodline experts is only half at most.
And what about us? Eight people died in the main battlefield, including Yokota and five others, for a total of 13 people.
There are now 23 people left, including 5 senior experts and 12 bloodline experts; everyone knows what this comparison of strength represents."
Needless to say, the analysis of Yamamoto Mifu and Michiko is very reasonable and accurate in some aspects. The Nakasu team did indeed lose 9 people in the battle, which is not much different from 10 people.
As for the difference in the surviving members of the Central Continent team, it is just that the information they have is wrong.
It is precisely because of this that the members of the island nation's team became more and more energetic under the methodical analysis of their commanders.
Good guys! Their number is more than twice that of the Central Continent team, and their strength is three times that of the Central Continent team.
In addition, in terms of equipment, props and other knowledge, they can also suppress their opponents by a long way. Even the Zhongzhou team has probably lost morale due to the obliteration at this point.
Their commander didn't know how long it would take to boost the team's morale again.
Therefore, there is almost no suspense about the rest of this mission.
In the end, after a lot of injecting chicken blood into his men, Yamamoto Mito opened a pack of sand cigarettes and said:
"Warriors, let us now enjoy the spoils of war. Is there anything better than enjoying the other party's supplies after victory?"
After saying that, he first stuffed a sand cigarette into his mouth, and then handed the cigarette box in his hand out.
Let such a pack of sand cigarettes be passed around among the members of the island country team.
With the current size of the island nation's team, there are still 23 people left, so a pack of sand cigarettes is naturally not enough; but it doesn't matter, it's not a big deal.
Michiko picked up the remaining bag of sand on the ground and handed out three pieces.
Then she stuffed the remaining 17 sand cigarettes directly into the pocket of her bulging chest; because she found that this kind of Chinese sand cigarette tasted very good and suited her taste very well.
