After all, the land near the spring is muddy and wet, and it is very easy to leave traces on it.
Most of them are footprints left by wild animals in the mountains and forests.
The traces Ye Beichen discovered were clearly footprints from human soles.
Although several days have passed, the shoe prints have become very faint.
But if you look closely, you will find that these shoe prints were not left by the same person, and there were at least 5-6 people on the other side.
These traces may have been left by the Japanese, or they may have been left by the militia who were searching for targets in the mountains.
But no matter what, once they find a clue, they will continue searching along this clue.
After his teammates filled their water bottles with water, Ye Beichen took them out.
Seeing that they were about to set off again before they had rested for long, someone in the team couldn't help but complain: "We are not on a forced march, what's the point of walking further? We might as well search slowly!"
"That's right. We're all exhausted. If we really run into the Japanese, won't we be at a disadvantage?"
"That's right! We are only responsible for searching for Japanese. If we go too far, even if we find Japanese, we won't have time to wait for reinforcements!"
Ye Beichen's team consists of 10 people including him, 5 of whom are members of the original team. They have been together for a long time and have a good understanding of each other.
After surviving many dangerous missions, their friendship became even deeper.
Several veteran team members were seriously injured in the previous border mission and are still recovering in the hospital. They are temporarily unable to participate in the mission.
So this time the troops temporarily added 4 members, who followed their team to Qishan to carry out the mission.
After several days of visits and investigations, as well as searches on Qishan Mountain, the Public Security Bureau has roughly grasped the number of Japanese in this group.
There are 12 people in total, among whom Noriko Fukuda is the team leader and has a relatively special identity.
So this mission is relatively simple.
After all, the number of targets is small, the mission location is not that remote, and there are police officers and militiamen cooperating to carry out the mission.
Therefore, for this mission, several young soldiers with good backgrounds were also arranged into this team just to gain some merit.
In fact, this kind of thing is very common no matter where it is.
It is easy for people with background to get resumes or achievements.
Ye Beichen didn't say much about this. As long as he didn't make trouble or hold back, it would be fine.
But he didn't expect that he would feel tired after walking for such a short time.
Ye Beichen was too lazy to say anything, and they only dared to mutter a few words below. Even if they really wanted to disobey military orders, they didn't have the courage to do so.
He didn't say anything, but some of his teammates couldn't stand it.
Liu Zhicheng had long been fed up with these young soldiers in the army.
During normal training, they fail to meet the standards and many of them are troublemakers.
Although they will eventually be assigned to civilian or logistics positions, they cannot even complete the initial basic training. What kind of soldiers are they?
The above means turning a blind eye to these people.
According to him, since these young masters can't stand the hardships of the army, why should they join the army?
Rural kids like them who want to join the army have to go through countless levels before they can be selected for a few spots and join the army.
These young masters basically got in through connections, and they didn't take training seriously. I really don't know what they are doing in the army.
This time they came to Qishan on a mission to capture Japanese. I don't know what their superiors were thinking, but they stuffed these young soldiers into their team.
We've only been walking for a short time, but we're already exhausted. If we really encounter the Japanese and get injured and bleed, we'll be crying out loud!
Liu Zhicheng immediately retorted, "If you can't stand the fatigue, you can apply to return to where you are. You don't necessarily have to follow us deeper. What do you think?"
Guo Wen, who was standing beside him, echoed, "Yes! This mission is so arduous! Young masters, please don't tire yourself out. It's a good thing we haven't gone very far yet, so you can still walk back!"
The young masters snorted and stopped talking.
They came here mainly to gain military merits. They don't have to rely on this to get promoted. It's just to make themselves look better when they are assigned positions in the future.
Being a soldier is too hard. If there were no other way, they would not be willing to join the army and undergo such hard training every day.
In fact, they also feel helpless about this!
They were also arranged by their families. If they were not obedient, their legs might be broken by the old man in the family.
If you have to ask them why their families arranged for them to suffer in the army, it is mainly because of the current "going to the countryside policy".
Under the current policy, all unemployed people have to go to the countryside to support rural construction.
Apart from this, the only other option is to join the army.
As soon as this policy came out, many families were busy using their connections to arrange for their children.
Either arrange for the children to work in state-owned units or in government departments.
However, because the national policies are unclear and factional struggles are fierce, if you are not careful you will be implicated and become cannon fodder.
So many of them were assigned to the army.
After all, the army is a separate system and will not easily be affected by politics.
The army is a simple place, and family members will feel more at ease if their children are sent to the army.
So compared to working in a factory, their families would certainly prefer them to join the army.
Of course, there were also those who did not want to be soldiers. The stubborn ones went to the Construction Corps or went directly to the countryside.
They once laughed at their friends who chose to join the Construction Corps. Now, after a series of high-intensity training in the army, they regret it.
After all, they had to join the army due to policy reasons, and they didn't like the life and training in the army that much.
If they had known that military training was so hard, they would not have joined the army.
I regret it so much!
They were sent out on this mission through their families’ connections.
I told them that the mission was relatively easy, not that dangerous, and the mission location was not far away, so I let them come along and get some credit.
I never thought it would be so tiring to just try to achieve something!
We set out from the town early in the morning and walked all the way until we entered the mountains to start searching.
Especially since they were carrying dozens of kilograms of equipment on their backs, they couldn't bear it at all and were exhausted.
Look at these old soldiers and they don’t look tired at all. It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others!
Seeing that the young masters were silent, Ye Beichen led the team and set off again.
