The bright sunshine shrouded the small village on the edge of the Yichang battlefield through the clouds. Clear streams flowed past the village, and women holding wooden basins were squatting by the stream to wash clothes.

If it weren't for the sound of gunfire coming from time to time in the distance, this place would be a paradise.

After Yang Ling and his friends retreated from Jingzhenshan's position for a night of rest, they were ordered to move to this small village that was indifferent to the world to rest the next day.

The village is not big, with dozens of tiled houses scattered around the mountains and rivers in a radius of two miles. It can be said that the traffic between the streets and the streets is like a scattered relationship.

Most of the men in the village formed a stretcher team to go to the front line to help carry the wounded. The only ones who stayed in the village were women.

When the village was at its peak, there were only two hundred people. Now more than 300 people from Yangling and their Flame Special Forces Brigade have arrived here, which immediately made the small village crowded and lively, and regained its vitality.

Yang Ling and the others have received brand new military uniforms and weapons at the temporary military station, replaced the broken military uniforms, and now the entire team has been completely renewed.

Faced with these strange soldiers with live ammunition, the people in the village seemed a little scared at first. After all, soldiers are not as good as bandits in troubled times. If they encounter troops with poor military discipline, the village will suffer.

However, Yangling has always had strict military discipline requirements for the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade. After they entered the village, they did not make the village uneasy like other teams.

Under Yang Ling's order, the officers and soldiers of the Liefang Special Forces Brigade abide by strict discipline, and soon let these simple people put aside their guard and entertain Yang Ling and the others with good wine and food.

Naturally, Yang Ling and the others did not eat or drink for nothing. In addition to taking out part of the military pay paid to the people, they also helped the village work.

After a few days, the houses in the village that were leaking and leaking were renovated, and the debris everywhere were cleaned up. The Flame Special Forces Brigade also helped the villagers to take care of the crops in the fields.

The actions of the Flame Special Forces Brigade made the people in the village look at them with admiration, and they also doubled their favorability, and the military and civilians got along well.

After resting in the village for a week, everything inside and outside the village was almost done by the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade.

Even the muddy path connecting every household in the village was rebuilt and tiny cobblestones were laid on it.

The officers and soldiers of the Flame Special Forces Brigade were through life and death and walked through the gates of hell. Now they have finally been able to live a peaceful life. After all, Yousong and Youchi, Yang Ling did not let the brothers participate in training.

The brothers' daily task now is to lie in groups of three or five on the hillside next to the village to bask in the sun, play chess and wipe the weapons in their hands, and life suddenly slowed down.

Although the sound of cannons came from afar, the Japanese were tired of fighting for several months and no longer had that sharpness. After all, they were all made of flesh and blood, and the Japanese were also humans.

The Japanese planes flew everywhere from time to time to bombard them, but they had become routine and left after the bombing.

On the battlefield in Yichang, China has assembled several armies. Although most of them have just been recruited by new recruits, many ants have bite to death.

Although the 13th Division and 3rd Division of the Japanese were both elite ace troops, they were also deeply powerless against the large number of Chinese teams.

Sometimes the Japanese used the fierce firepower of airplanes and cannons to capture the positions they took down during the day, and at night they were taken back by the Chinese team.

The two sides were in a stalemate on the battlefield in Yichang. The 11th Army of the Japanese were in short supply and after the complete combat mission, many troops returned to their original residence to garrison. They did not have the ability to draw more troops to attack Yichang.

Although the 4th Division, which was drawn from the Kwantung Army, was already on the way south, the 4th Division was only able to maintain their expanded occupied area.

Now the Japanese troops are still gritting their teeth to attack Yichang, and they simply don’t want to give up putting pressure on Chongqing. In fact, they are no longer able to advance westward.

The Chinese team seemed to feel that the Japanese attack was weak, but although the Chinese team had a large number of people, their combat effectiveness was not good. There was still a long way to go to destroy the Japanese.

Therefore, the chief officer of the war zone also changed his tactical strategy, which was to rely on the stalemate battlefield outside Yichang to pull up a batch of troops that had just been replenished for training and fight against the Japanese in order to achieve the purpose of actual combat training.

The troops that had suffered heavy losses in the battle were retreating and resting. The 18th Division of the 18th Army was ordered to withdraw to Chongqing for repairs because they were disabled in the early battles.

The battlefield was very lively, with hundreds of thousands of troops playing day and night on countless small battlefields.

Yang Ling and his team, who retreated to the mountain village to rest and recuperate, seemed to have been forgotten, allowing Yang Ling and his team to live a peaceful life with a rare life.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the officers and soldiers of the Idle Flame Special Forces Brigade, who are busy all day long, have a lot of weight on their waists.

Those bragging brothers surrounded the story all day long, listening to them talking about their heroic deeds of beating Japanese deeds on the battlefield, and hearing these children clenched their fists and threatened to beat Japanese deeds when they grew up.

Some brothers built a dam in the stream in front of the village, and the water flow accumulated to form a pond. They jumped naked into the pool and played and took a bath without any worries. Life was so happy.

"Sir, brothers, the resting bones are almost broken. Should we resume training again?"

Seeing these iron-strong soldiers on the battlefield now following a group of children or playing chess in the sun, Zhang Tie looked decadent, worried that his brothers would lose their combat effectiveness if they continued like this.

So he found Yang Ling, hoping to resume the training of the troops. After all, rest is temporary, and they will return to the battlefield sooner or later.

"Brothers are all veterans. They have just walked out of the gates of hell. Now they have finally had the opportunity to rest. Let them relax."

Yang Ling knew the reason for being relaxed and moderate, and there might be many wars in the future, but there are not many days of peace like now. It would allow brothers to rest more, so they could rest more.

"But I'm afraid that my brothers will go crazy so much. If they suddenly return to the battlefield, they will be unaccustomed." Zhang Tie was full of worries.

Yang Ling smiled and shook his head, pointing at the brothers who were laughing and basking in the sun, saying, "Look, brothers always keep their guns away. Don't look at their playing now, but in fact they are ready to fight at any time."

Yang Ling knew that these were all veterans and soldiers who were used to the battlefield. They did not make them forget the battlefield so easily.

And they also knew that they might be killed in the next insignificant battle, so they all enjoyed the life while they were still alive.

"How is the battlefield situation?" Yang Ling asked Zhang Tie to sit down and asked.

Zhang Tie sat down on the grass next to Yangling and replied: "Now all troops are taking turns to fight the Japanese. The frontline is fierce, but neither side can do anything to each other. However, I heard that the Sixth War Zone will be re-established soon, and I don't know which war zone we will be under then."

"What do you care about him? We are soldiers and just obey orders. Why do you think so much?" Seeing Zhang Tie's frowning look, Yang Ling said with a smile.
