Three hours later, without a single person falling behind, they finally reached the high ground.
After An Zhiyuan handed over command to the acting team leader Bao Yong of the allied team, he led the others to two other locations to coordinate the handover; once all the positions were secured, the allied team successfully withdrew.
The area they were in had many hills of varying sizes around it, and the positions were very important. Many places were not marked with elevations on the map. They were generally named after their hills, and if there were no local names, they were named after special dates.
The mountains in the early morning were peaceful. Even the sounds of the insects around them could be heard clearly. Although they had successfully completed the handoff, their mood was even more tense.
They were ready to enter a state of combat readiness at any time, possibly engaging with the enemy, and more likely to suffer casualties.
