Chapter 7, The Transport Squadron of the Fighting Force (I)

Raise your eyes

Shen Quanshen expressed his agreement, saying: "This is indeed one aspect. In the past, when we mentioned Commander Li, our commander was not so ostentatious. Now, it's quite the opposite; he keeps referring to that kid Li Yunlong. Those who don't know might think that Commander Li is under our command! Haha"

Despite his patience, Shen Quan could not help but ask, "Captain, it is already this late and the enemy has yet to appear. Could it be that your intelligence is flawed? Perhaps the enemy won't come today?"

Wang Leihu looked awkwardly, wanting to ask but finding it difficult to speak. He was contemplating asking the regiment commander for it back after the battle was over

No one felt sleepy, and they stared blankly with their eyes wide open until the first ray of dawn appeared from the distant horizon

Wang Leihu pulled out an old-fashioned pocket watch from his pocket, took a breath to wipe it, and then cheerfully said: "Commander, it is 6:35."

Wang Leihu said: "Indeed, the team leader seems to be using more vulgar language when speaking now, and has become more domineering!"

Soon, everything is in place, only the east wind is lacking, and the soldiers quietly await in their designated combat positions

Less talk, hurry up

Around 9 o'clock, several ghostly figures stealthily emerged from a distant intersection.

Wang Leihu was taken aback for a moment and quickly stuffed the pocket watch back into his pocket, saying, "Captain, this was left to me by my father. He said it is to be a family heirloom, so I cannot give it to you."

Indeed

Tell the brothers, haste makes waste; everyone should keep it well hidden, as the enemy will definitely come.

Kong Jie estimated that it was around seven o'clock in the morning, but after searching his body, he could not find a watch that could be used to tell the time.

Kong Jie observed the situation of the Japanese transport convoy through his telescope. It was indeed a transport squadron, mixed with some puppet troops, and no heavy weapons such as machine guns or artillery were found in the convoy.

This transportation route is extremely concealed; without the intelligence report provided by the system, Kong Jie would not have been able to uncover this information

In the distance, there were five or six scouts from the enemy, surveying the movements on both sides of the road.

The three battalion commanders exchanged glances throughout the night, all feeling a sense of admiration for the accuracy of the intelligence received by the regiment commander

Indeed, it is the transport convoy of the little devils

Moreover, our leader's style of command in the operations of the map and book seems to be different from before

It seems that the enemy must have passed through multiple times, and the vanguard is merely conducting reconnaissance as usual. The mountains stretch endlessly, and the terrain is complex; if a thorough investigation were to be conducted, these personnel would be utterly insufficient.

Look, this is not only the bombing team, but also the machine gun team and the shooting team; the commander could not have come up with so many tricks before

The commander of the Third Battalion, Wang Huaibao, hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "It seems to be the case."

The little devils have really come!

The warriors, having received Kong Jie’s affirmation, continued to patiently lie in wait.

"Indeed!" Wang Leihu laughed and said, "Forget it, who cares! I actually think it's a good thing. The team leader has become even more formidable than before. This time, the main offensive task was snatched right from Team Leader Li's hands. If this had happened in the past, we probably wouldn't even have had a sip of soup."

In order to achieve the concealment of this ambush, on that night, Kong Jie set out with the combat troops

He chose the ambush site at the rear section of Xiaolin Gou Mountain Road, so that the enemy would let their guard down after a thorough investigation along the way

The mountain road of Xiaolin Valley is located on the southern side of Xiaolin Valley, with a total length of approximately 5 to 6 li. On the right side of the road, it is closely adjacent to the continuous mountain slopes, while on the left side, beneath the road curb, there are relatively low cliffs, some ridges, and also some irrigation ponds and the like

Team leader, you must return it for sure

Upon arriving at the location, swiftly carry out the ambush deployment

Since this time it is an ambush and they have gained the initiative, Kong Jie will naturally make full use of the advantageous timing and location

"Team leader, why is this?" Wang Leihu was puzzled

What do you think, Thunder Tiger

Kong Jie explained: "The little devils are always cautious in their actions. Even if this transport route is concealed, the devils will certainly have scouts. If you bury the landmines in the ambush zone and the scouts trigger the landmines, won't we be exposed?"

Upon checking the time, Kong Jie casually tucked the pocket watch into his pocket

Time flows away drop by drop, and the warriors, filled with excitement for the impending battle, breathe in the still chilly night breeze, yet they feel no cold at all

After Kong Jie completed the deployment of five machine gun positions, as well as the locations of the bombing and shooting teams, Captain Wang Leihu, following the old routine, prepared to lead the engineers to the ambush section to lay landmines in advance.

Wang Leihu suddenly said: "So that's how it is, Captain, you really think far ahead"

Kong Jie said with a dark expression: "Look at your stingy appearance, I don't want you anymore, can I just borrow it for now?"

Several enemy soldiers in the lead missed the area where Kong Jie and his group were hiding, continued to move forward, and signaled to the subsequent Japanese transport unit that everything was normal.

The Japanese transport convoy continued to advance towards the ambush zone without any vigilance

Kong Jie whispered, "Hide everything well and pull your heads back."

I don't know if you two have noticed, but I feel that our leader has changed significantly these days compared to before

This is the intelligence provided by the system, and Kong Jie absolutely does not believe that there will be any issues

Bring it here

Hehe, even the leader of this group doesn't have a watch!

What?

The enemy rushed over and reached the area where we had set up an ambush, having already traveled a considerable distance from the starting point. The nearest enemy-occupied zone is just a few kilometers away. In the event of an ambush, they will certainly choose to retreat forward.

The three battalion commanders each went to make preparations, feeling somewhat emotional at the time of parting

Time passed quickly, and soon it was time to ambush the Japanese transport squadron.

In order to guard against the vanguard of the enemy, Kong Jie deliberately had the soldiers hide a considerable number of them on the hillside's rear when he initially arranged the ambush, leaving only a few observation posts in the front

At this moment, the landmines we had previously laid can be used to counterattack the Japanese army

Time continued to pass, during which Kong Jie took out the pocket watch to check the time several times; it was already past 8 o'clock

This company commander is doing better than any of us!

The enemy's vanguard was once again on reconnaissance, not anticipating that this route would pose a threat

Indeed, they are the vanguard of the enemy!

"The pocket watch!" Kong Jiedao said

The three battalion commanders shared a moment of laughter, and after expressing their sentiments, each departed.

The second battalion commander, Shen Quan, who is adept at reading people's expressions and emotions, felt the most deeply

On the right side of the ambush section is a hillside several dozen meters high, while on the left side is a reservoir that stretches several hundred meters long.

Kong Jie instructed: "Advance the minefield by three hundred meters."

As the enemy's vanguard drew closer, a contingent of Japanese puppet troops gradually emerged, accompanied by a large number of mule-drawn carts, while the rumble of a truck engine could be heard from the rear.

The enemy's vanguard drew ever closer, while Kong Jie led his soldiers in silent ambush.
