Evening.
The warm sunset shone on the official road outside Jingjiang County, turning the packed earth road into a lazy golden color.
The Anti-Japanese Army was maneuvering around the Huaixi area, leading nine hundred new recruits with bruised and swollen faces, forming a long, winding dragon on the road for several miles.
Jiang Chai and others rode their horses back and forth beside the team, occasionally whipping the disobedient ones a few more times. If not for the blood-stained clothes, they would look just like shepherds driving a flock of sheep home.
Everywhere they went, Jiang Chai and his men would execute a few ruffians to establish their authority, making heads roll and ensuring the new recruits dared not cause trouble.
At this moment, an old soldier in the Anti-Japanese Army was shouting within the ranks: "One, two, one, one, two, one, left-right-left, left-right-left... Who the hell is off step again?"
