In the drizzling rain, a platoon of Tang Army soldiers dressed in raincoats trudged along a muddy road, carrying ammunition and weapons and following behind a No. 4 assault gun.
Soon, these soldiers arrived at a small village where the civilians had already evacuated, leaving only a few men behind.
These men quickly stood in front of the short assault gun, volunteering to guide the troops, introducing the local terrain and claiming their homes still had food supplies.
However, the soldiers did not take the food. After revising the map details based on the locals' descriptions, they asked the men to leave the dangerous area immediately and take all the food they could carry with them.
Then, the soldiers began to set up defensive lines around the small village. Everyone was busy; some were digging trenches, others were burying mines.
In an instant, the once peaceful and tranquil village had turned into a dangerous battlefield, as if every corner hid lethal means of killing.
