The three battalion commanders went to prepare separately, and they were quite emotional when they parted.
Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan, who was good at observing words and emotions, felt the deepest impression.
"I don't know if you two have noticed, but I always feel that our group leader is very different these days from before?"
Third Battalion Commander Wang Huaibao hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement, "That seems to be the case."
"Thunder Tiger, what do you think?"
Wang Leihu said: "That's true. The leader seems to have more swear words in his words now and is more domineering!"
Shen Quan deeply felt the same and said: "This is on the one hand. When it came to Captain Li before, our leader was not so public. But now it's better. He talks about that boy Li Yunlong. Those who don't know think that Captain Li is our leader." Where are my subordinates! Haha——"
"In addition, our regimental commander's combat command style seems to be different from before!"
"Look, this is a bomb-dropping team, a machine-gun team, and a shooting team. The regiment leader has never been able to do so many tricks before."
"That's true!" Wang Leihu said with a smile, "Forget it, never mind! I think it's a good thing. The regiment commander is more powerful than before. This time the main attack mission was snatched from the hands of regiment commander Li. If this In the past, we probably wouldn’t even be able to drink soup."
The three battalion commanders chatted and laughed for a while, then left with emotion.
Time flies, and soon it’s time to ambush the Japanese transport squadron.
In order to achieve the concealment of this ambush, Kong Jie set off with the combat troops that night.
After arriving at the place, quickly conduct an ambush deployment.
The mountain road of Xiaolingou is on the south side of Xiaolingou. The entire road is five or six miles long. The right side of the road is close to the rolling hillsides. Under the curb on the left, there are relatively low cliffs and some They are field ridges, and some are weirs and ponds.
Since this time it was an ambush and he had the upper hand, Kong Jie naturally had to make full use of the right time and place.
He chose the ambush location at the back section of Xiaolingou Mountain Road so that the Japanese would not be cautious after exploring all the way.
On the right side of the ambush section is a hillside dozens of meters high, and on the left is a weir pond several hundred meters long that stores water.
After Kong Jie deployed all five machine gun fortifications, as well as the bombardment team and shooting team, Wang Leihu, commander of the first battalion, followed the old rules and prepared to lead his engineers to the ambush section to lay mines in advance.
Kong Jie explained: "Advance the minefield three hundred meters forward."
"Captain, why is this?" Wang Leihu was puzzled.
Kong Jie explained: "The Japs are always cautious in their actions. Even if this transportation road is hidden, the Japs will definitely have their vanguard. If you bury mines in the ambush circle and the Japs' vanguard steps on the mines, won't we be exposed?"
The Japanese came all the way and reached the area where we ambush, which was far away from the starting point. The nearest enemy-occupied area was only a few kilometers away. Once they were attacked, they would definitely choose to evacuate.
At this time, the landmines we laid in advance can in turn block the Japanese army."
Wang Leihu suddenly said: "So that's it, Commander, you are really thinking too far ahead."
Soon, everything was ready, all that was needed was the east wind, and the soldiers were waiting quietly at their predetermined combat positions.
Time passed by bit by bit, and the soldiers, who were excited about the battle that was about to break out, felt no coldness at all despite the chilly night wind.
No one was sleepy, they just kept their eyes open until the first ray of dawn appeared from the distant horizon.
Kong Jie estimated that it should be around seven o'clock in the morning, but he couldn't find a watch that could be used to determine the time after searching all over his body.
Look up,
Wang Leihu pulled out an honest pocket watch from his arms, wiped it with a sigh, and then said cheerfully: "Captain, it's six thirty-five."
"Bring it!"
"What?"
"Pocket watch!" Kong Jie said.
Wang Leihu was stunned for a moment and quickly stuffed the pocket watch into his arms again, "Captain, my father left this to me. He said it was going to be a family heirloom. I can't give it to you."
Kong Jie said with a dark face: "Look at you, I don't want you anymore, can you borrow it from the head office for now?"
"Captain, you must pay it back!"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
Asking for a pocket watch, Kong Jie took a look at the time and put the watch into his pocket.
Hehe, I don’t have much money as the leader!
This guy, the first battalion commander, is better at it than the rest of us!
Wang Leihu looked at it awkwardly. He wanted it but it was hard to ask. He was thinking that after the battle was over, he would ask the group leader to get it back.
Time continued to pass. During this period, Kong Jie pulled out the pocket watch and looked at it several times. It was already past eight o'clock.
Although he was patient, Shen Quan couldn't help but ask: "Captain, it's already this hour and the Japs haven't shown up yet. Is there something wrong with your intelligence? The Japs won't come today, right?"
"Tell brothers, if you are too impatient to eat hot tofu, you have hidden it for me. The Japanese will definitely come." Kong Jie said decisively.
This is the information given by the system. Kong Jie never believes that something will go wrong.
The soldiers who received Kong Jie's affirmation continued to wait patiently.
Sure enough.
Around nine o'clock, several Japanese soldiers appeared from a distant intersection.
"As expected, he is the vanguard of the Japs!" Wang Leihu whispered.
Kong Jie whispered: "Hide everything, put your head back."
In the distance, there were five or six Japs in the vanguard, scouting for movement on both sides of the road.
It's just that this transportation route is very hidden. If it weren't for the intelligence letter provided by the system, Kong Jie would not have been able to detect the news.
It seems that the Japs must have passed through many times, and the vanguards only conducted reconnaissance as usual. The mountains are stretching and the terrain is complex. If we conduct a careful reconnaissance, these manpower will not be enough.
When the Japanese vanguard got closer, a Japanese and puppet army team emerged one after another, with a large number of mules and carriages among them, and the roar of a truck engine came from the rear. p>
Sure enough, it's the little devil's transport team.
The three battalion commanders looked at each other all night, and they all lamented that the information obtained by the regiment commander was quite accurate.
The little devil is really here!
Kong Jie observed the situation of the Japanese transport team through the telescope. It was indeed a transport squadron, mixed with some puppet troops. In addition, no heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and artillery were found in the team.
The Japs' vanguard was getting closer and closer, and Kong Jie led the soldiers to lurk quietly.
In order to be wary of the Japs' vanguard, when Kong Jie initially deployed the ambush, he deliberately had his soldiers hide far behind the hillside, leaving only a few observation posts in front.
The Japanese vanguard continued their investigation as usual and did not think there would be any danger on this road.
In this way, several Japanese vanguards missed the area where Kong Jie and his party were hiding, and continued to move forward, using semaphores to convey the signal that everything was normal to the following Japanese transport squadron.
The Japanese transport team continued to move towards the ambush circle without warning...
