Chapter 63: Northern Thailand

"Fire." Li Yi gave the order, and the Type 38 rifle in his hand rang out in the northern Thai jungle.

Bang.

Bang.

In the jungle, gunfire erupted instantly.

The Squad led by Li Yi first struck the enemy's night watch; in an instant three of them fell, shot, dead or not, and Li Yi shouted, "Charge, kill!"

"Charge, kill!" The warriors behind immediately rushed toward the enemies they needed to eliminate.

The soldiers of four Squads, each Squad dealt with the enemies in one Tent.

"Report, enemy eliminated."

"Report, enemy eliminated."

"Report, enemy eliminated."

The battle began quickly and ended quickly.

Thai soldiers had no time to react; Li Yi's troops rushed into the Tent, not even needing to fire, a bayonet could kill the Thai soldiers, but in the end they chose the safest method, killing the enemies with bullets.

"Company Commander, we captured an enemy." Two soldiers escorted a shirtless Thai prisoner and came over.

"Gibberish."

They couldn't understand at all, Li Yi asked, "Do you speak Chinese?"

The other side kept spouting incomprehensible words, even a smell of urine, Li Yi was dissatisfied and said to the escorting soldiers, "Kill him."

Bang.

The Thai soldier stared wide-eyed, unable to believe the bullet had pierced his brain.

Jiang Anguo had instructed before departure that no prisoners were to be left.

All prisoners were stripped of clothing and lined up neatly beside the fire; Platoon Leader Liu Zhengyi counted them, confirming there were no Japanese Army among them, all were Thai People.

Liu Zhengyi said, "Company Commander, a total of 18, all here."

Li Yi nodded; this annihilation battle went smoothly, "Anyone injured?"

Soon the Squad Leaders counted our personnel, and after confirming none were missing, they felt at ease.

"After taking photos, prepare to withdraw; everything except the corpses, take it all away." Li Yi was also cautious; regardless of usefulness, they took everything.

The photos were to record facts for future propaganda; Li Yi's unit carried a camera when they left.

Even the Thai soldiers' uniforms were taken, their colors fitting the rainforest region.

Even the water bottles the Thai had used were taken as well.

Li Yi's side gained a lot; under moonlight the group hurried away. Li Yi, fearing other enemies nearby might hear the gunfire, after the raid immediately led a withdrawal.

But before they got far, heavy rain fell over the jungle.

"Put on raincoats, prepare to withdraw," Li Yi whispered.

The sudden downpour effectively buried the trail of Li Yi's team.

As for shell casings and such, they hadn't even considered taking them; after all, they were Japanese weapons and ammunition.

The rain also slowed the march, but fortunately Li Yi's operation involved few soldiers.

If one were to look at the Thai camp's corpses now, it would be chilling.

Dense leeches, from nowhere, clung to the pale corpses, quickly sucking all the fresh blood.

Batch after batch of leeches turned the bodies into desiccated corpses, not a trace of color, like millennial remains.

But the more terrifying part was still ahead.

Li Yi, after two hours of marching, finally arrived at the camp, which is the Nameless Mountain Cave.

"Company Commander, this time we seized quite a lot: over 400 jin of rice, two horses, 18 Type 38 rifles, not many bullets—only about 500 rounds, but we also didn't consume many bullets this time." Platoon Leader Liu Xiu quickly tallied the spoils and losses.

Before departure, each person carried 160 rounds, the horse handlers also carried 20,000 spare rounds, and the remaining space was used for food—canned and dry rations.

Thailand and Japan were close; the units formed were built with Japanese assistance, and consequently the Thai forces used only Japanese-made weapons.

"There are also some cans and biscuits, but not many; we captured two Southern pistols," Liu Xiu continued.

Li Yi's company composition: Platoon Leader Liu Zhengyi, Platoon Leader Liu Xiu, Platoon Leader Mu Shun.

Li Yi nodded, "It seems this group of Thai People just arrived at the border; otherwise the amount of supplies seized couldn't be this much."

Li Yi inferred from the supplies that this group of Thai People had just reached the border.

Thailand mainly produces rice, so food is not scarce, and being coastal, its food and fishery resources are extremely abundant.

In Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, these places can harvest three seasons a year; even if one season is missed, two are possible, and there are vast plains for rice cultivation.

【48】 "Company Commander, you start the fire first; making fire in this jungle is really hard," Platoon Leader Mu Shun said as he walked over.

After two hours of marching, Li Yi finally reached the camp, the Nameless Cave.

At this moment, all soldiers carrying out the mission stood by the fire; everyone removed their clothes, changed into clean ones, and hung the damp garments on branches beside the fire to dry.

Li Yi was no exception; he also took off his clothes.

The tropical rainforest's complex environment forced Li Yi, a jungle specialist, to act cautiously; before departure he specifically sought Battalion Commander Jiang Anguo, requesting an additional doctor for his unit, making the company 161 people, including Doctor Fan Qing.

Before leaving, Li Yi also took a large amount of anti-malarial drugs, cold medicine, and disinfectants.

Jiang Anguo thought that was correct; this unit faced near-certain death, and without a doctor, even minor injuries or a cold could be fatal in the jungle.

This made him have to take medical personnel seriously.

Jiang Anguo was about to sleep when a system alert startled him, "Killed 18 enemies, earned 520 points."

Current points.

He immediately checked how the points were earned; detailed info appeared quickly, showing 18 Thai soldiers killed, including two Squad Leaders.

Regular soldiers are 20 points each, Squad Leaders are 100 points.

"System, is the point reward for killing Thai People the same as for Japanese?" Jiang Anguo asked.

"Yes, as long as they are enemies, the points earned for a kill are the same."

System answered Jiang Anguo's question.

"What a pity, the Japanese Devil is actually so worthless." Unexpectedly, killing Thai soldiers also yields points, which gave Jiang Anguo a good way to earn points—perhaps invading Thailand and gaining points from Thai People!

It's not that it can't be considered.

Killing Thai People is definitely much easier than killing Little Devil (Japanese soldier), and the points will surely come much faster!
