Chapter 30 Choosing an Ambush Point
Li Yunlong immediately summoned all company-level cadres and Zhang Wu to a meeting at the regiment headquarters. After briefly introducing the intelligence Zhang Wu had obtained, he asked Zhang Dabiao to read out the reply in public:

"After investigation, the intelligence is true. The main force of the Takeuchi League, the Fukado Battalion, has made unusual movements. We commend Zhang Wu for obtaining the intelligence..."

Hearing this, all the cadres looked at Zhang Wu. Although they did not say anything, their eyes and thumbs up showed their recognition and praise for Zhang Wu.

Gu Dashan and Tian Xichuan puffed out their chests, looking smug, as if they were proud of Zhang Wu.

Zhang Dabiao also nodded to Zhang Wu, and then continued to read:
"Given the Shen Teng Battalion's preparations and location, it will take 20 days to a month to reach Luo Village. Hulu Gorge, Guanfengkou, and Cangyunling are all excellent ambush locations. The New st Regiment can wait for the opportunity to act!"

Waiting for an opportunity?!
Seeing other subordinates ready to fight, Li Yunlong sighed in his heart, you are still too young!
What does it mean to wait for an opportunity? Won’t the brigade commander have the final say when the time comes?
Li Yunlong felt that the brigade commander was most likely eyeing the artillery of the Shen Teng Battalion and wanted to rob him again!

As expected, Zhang Dabiao then read out the configuration of the Shen Teng Battalion. In addition to the full 4 infantry squadrons, 1 machine gun squadron, 1 transport squadron, there was also 1 infantry artillery squadron and 1 additional machine gun squadron, a total of more than 1200 people!

Listening to the infantry artillery squad, Li Yunlong's heart was bleeding.

He had no choice. If he didn't need the brigade commander's help to complete the intelligence, he really didn't want to tell the brigade commander the news!
Wouldn't it be better to do the job quietly and keep all the benefits for yourself?
Since being robbed was inevitable, he immediately decided that he could not let the brigade commander rob in vain. He had to take this opportunity to send a few people to the brigade's artillery company to learn!
When he captures the cannons, he won’t have to worry about not having artillery!
He was thinking about this when Zhang Dabiao finished reading and looked at him:
"Captain, the Fukado Battalion has more than 1200 men, and they have so many light and heavy weapons, infantry and artillery. This is a tough nut to crack!"

"We are not like old ladies who only pick on the soft ones!"

Li Yunlong didn't even look at him, asked the staff officer to spread out the map, and then said:
"We, the new group, are here to take on tough tasks!"

As he spoke, he asked people to look at the map:

"Look, where is the best place for us to fight!"

People came over to look at the map, and he picked up the Karl 98K and handed it to Zhang Wu:

"Zhang Wu, your gun!"

"Thank you, leader!"

Zhang Wu had seen the gun a long time ago. He took it and pulled the bolt to check it lovingly.

Karl 98K, 3.9 kg, 6x scope, 7.92 mm caliber, 5 rounds of magazine capacity, effective range of 800 meters. Except for the large muzzle flame, the rest is not comparable to the 460-meter effective range of the Type sniper rifle!

An experienced sniper can even use the Karl 98K to kill targets at a distance of 1000 meters.

But Zhang Wu can't do that.

His [Lock] is based on the effective range of the gun, reaching the level of caliper shooting of those top snipers.

After checking, he patted the gun and said confidently:
"Captain, just watch over this ambush. Leave all the heavy firepower points of the Japanese to me!"

"Good job, you have a lot of momentum!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder and said solemnly:

"But this group of devils is different from the past. They have too much heavy firepower and a lot of people. What's that called? Yes, we should despise the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically. We must never be arrogant and underestimate the enemy!"

Seeing Li Yunlong change his usual behavior of being the boss, Zhang Wu understood immediately that Li Yunlong attached great importance to the Shen Teng Team!

想想也正常，以前打小鬼子伏击不是4:1，就是5:1，6:1的优势兵力。

The current five battalions of the New 5st Regiment, including the regiment's direct company, engineering company, special service company, and grenade launcher and mortar company, have a total of more than 1800 people. How easy is it to defeat a reinforced battalion with more than 1200 people, two machine gun squadrons, and an artillery squad?
Thinking of this, he nodded solemnly, stood at attention and said:
"Yes!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu's shoulder again, then returned to the crowd, picked up a pencil and ruler, and after a few strokes he came up with an idea.

In line with the principle of training cadres, he did not give a direct order, but asked:

"What do you think? Where do you think the ambush point should be placed?" "I think it should be placed at the air intake!"

The third battalion commander spoke first:

"Guanfengkou has a steep terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is suitable for the deployment of a regiment-level organization. The Japanese's firepower is too strong, and only this kind of terrain can possibly wipe out the Shen Teng Battalion!"

"Not good, Guanfengkou is too close to Cangyun Ridge. It will be too easy to expose ourselves if we attack the Shenteng Brigade!"

The second battalion commander prefers stability:
“Although our group has made great progress in the past two months, I may be too conservative and don’t have much confidence in defeating the Shen Teng Brigade.

I think we should put it in Huluxia. Although the terrain there is a little worse, it is far away from us. Even if we can't defeat the Shen Teng Brigade, we can still retreat to Cangyun Ridge and defend it!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Even if the Japanese know we are in Luo Village, what can they do?"

The fifth battalion commander was the former commander of the first company. He and Zhang Dabiao formed the commando team. He said confidently at this time:

"I think we should place the ambush point at Cangyun Ridge. Cangyun Ridge has a dangerous terrain and is deep. We can attack or defend. Let alone a battalion, even if a regiment comes, our regiment will not be afraid!"

None of them satisfied Li Yun, so he didn't even raise his head or express any opinion.

At this time, Gu Dashan said something shocking:

“I think all three places are bad!”

Hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and he immediately looked up at Gu Dashan:
"Taiwanese, tell me what you think!"

Before Gu Dashan could speak, Zhang Dabiao spoke first:

"Captain, that won't work. After all, the three locations were chosen by the brigade commander. If we talk about it later, will we be able to keep the cannon?"

Do you think you can keep the artillery if you listen to the brigade commander?

Li Yunlong glanced at him and said nothing, but his eyes were clear. He looked at Gu Dashan again:
"Say!"

Gu Dashan nodded and pointed on the map at a crescent-shaped place 5 miles past Guanfengkou:

“I think the ambush point should be placed here—Tieyan Slope.

Although the terrain here is gently sloping and the grass is sparse, and you can see the end at a glance, which is not suitable for an ambush, the Japanese are not stupid. They will definitely send troops to carefully scout the dangerous places in advance, so it is easy to be exposed.

We set the ambush point here, just past the Guanfengkou, and there is a mountain stream 100 meters behind where we can hide our troops, so we can catch the Japanese off guard."

At this point, he looked at Li Yunlong and flattered him subtly:
"I think this is what you meant when we fought the heavy squadron in Zaoshugou."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong blinked his eyes and said without blushing or panting:

"Yes, that's what I thought at the time, go on!"

Gu Dashan nodded again, crossed his arms and said:

"As for Hulu Gorge, it's too far away from here.

If the Japanese mistakenly think that our main force is in Huluxia and change the direction of the sweep, our terrain advantage in Cangyunling will be gone..."
