Chapter 79: Ambush at Sanshupo

According to the scouts' reconnaissance, there was nothing unusual about the Japanese soldiers in the Huting stronghold, but soldiers continued to move into the Takeuchi Regiment's base.

Finally, even the 4th Brigade's brigade headquarters and the reorganized Sakata Regiment, now called the Ikegami Regiment, moved over.

"This is fucking weird! I haven't shown my killing intent yet, so why is the 4th Brigade gathering at the Takeuchi Regiment's base?"

Looking at Yuan County on the map, Li Yunlong frowned and murmured:

"Is a small Tiger Pavilion stronghold worthy of a brigade's assembly?"

"Old Li, are the Japanese going to make a big move?"

Zhao Gang said worriedly:
"Why don't we just give up on this operation? We are responsible for the flank defense of the head of the headquarters, and we can't have any problems!"

"Will there be no problems if you don't take action?"

Li Yunlong looked at him with one eye wide open and one eye narrowed:
“The Fourth Brigade’s assembly was obviously planned long ago, and it’s more than 100 kilometers away from us. What does it have to do with our actions?
What's more, if we rob this group, we will weaken the strength of the Fourth Brigade, which will only benefit us!"

Zhao Gang thought about it and said with gritted teeth:

"Okay, I agree with your action this time!"

Li Yunlong grinned:
"Right, what good supplies! If we don't bring them back, will the Japanese come back to kill us after they've had their fill?"

Zhao Gang snorted:
"But you can't take all the troops with you. We must leave some behind to defend and not let the Japanese take advantage of the situation!"

"Don't worry, the Japs won't escort more than one squadron! One battalion and Zhang Wu are enough!"

Li Yunlong had already planned:
"We are no longer as wealthy as before. With the five machine guns seized by Zhang Wu this time, our regiment already has three heavy machine guns, 5 light machine guns, and 3 grenade launchers. If I hadn't been the general's guard, I would have expanded the team long ago. I am a truly wealthy man!"

He held up two fingers.
"Two days. I will be there for two days. Zhang Dabiao will help you command. I will also bring two battalions. I will not bring any heavy machine guns. This is enough for you to defend Du Village for two days!"

Zhao Gang nodded:
"Then you should bring 14 light machine guns and 12 grenade launchers. I will also find you 20 mule-drawn carts. Trucks are too conspicuous. It's safer to go through the mountains!"

Looking at Zhao Gang who was beginning to plan for him, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and he praised:

"This is a good political commissar of our independent regiment!"

After the two reached an agreement, they continued to prepare for the ambush. Zhang Wu waited patiently. If the ambush was to take place, he would definitely be indispensable!

At the same time, Colonel Takeuchi personally called Lieutenant Tanaka at the Tiger Pavilion:

"In addition to 4 kilograms of food and a standard squadron's equipment, we also need to prepare three Type 3 heavy machine guns and two Type 2 infantry guns!"

Lieutenant Tanaka lowered his head sharply:

"Hayi, I will increase the number of weapons immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Colonel Takeuchi flattered the 4th Brigade Commander, Hiraru Isamu:

"You are taking advantage of this observation group to restore the strength of our Fourth Brigade. That's really smart!"

On the other hand, the day before the supplies were delivered to the Huting stronghold, Zhang Wu received an order from Wei Dayong, asking him to go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting.

When he arrived at the regiment headquarters, the first battalion commander Shen Quan and the commander of the artillery company that had not yet been expanded, Liang Shuisheng, had already arrived.

Seeing that everyone was present, Li Yunlong explained the combat mission of setting up an ambush at Sanshupo and said to Shen Quan:

"Shen Quan, take the first battalion to the logistics department to get the ammunition and then harness the mule carts. Political Commissar Zhao is ready, and then gather at the north entrance of the village." "Yes!"

Shen Quan stood at attention and saluted with a look of joy, then left the regiment headquarters to prepare.

Li Yunlong then looked at Liang Shuisheng:
"Shuisheng, take a grenade launcher company with you. Each grenade launcher only needs one basic amount of ammunition. Gather with Shen Quan at the north gate."

"Yes!"

Liang Shuisheng went downstairs to prepare.

Li Yunlong finally looked at Zhang Wu:
"Zhang Wu, Sanshupo is less than 40 kilometers away from Yuan County. We must make a quick decision this time. The Japanese heavy firepower is all dependent on you!"

Zhang Wu smiled:
"Don't worry, Captain, I won't let you down!"

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder:

"There aren't many devils this time. The 120 rounds of ammunition you received should be enough!"

Just like that, after everything was ready, the ambush team quietly left Du Village, carrying two days' dry food and water, and drove the carts carefully towards Sanshupo in Taihang Mountains.

After walking for more than 60 kilometers, we arrived at Sanshupo.

Sanshupo runs east-west, with a total length of 2 kilometers, and a 90-degree bend in the middle. The mountains on both sides have a wide range of shooting ranges, and the distance between the kilometers is less than 100 meters, making it an excellent ambush site.

Arrange the troops to ambush on the reverse slope in the south, with the first company at the east end, the second company in the middle, and the third company at the west end. Li Yunlong finally said:
"This time the Japs should be a convoy. When they come in, follow my orders. Attack the driver first, then open fire with all your might. Make sure to eliminate all the Japs in the shortest possible time!"

"Yes!"

Under the leadership of their respective commanders, the soldiers set up positions and firepower points. Zhang Wu also carried a gun and began to look for a suitable sniper point.

Because of this 90-degree bend, the Japanese trucks could easily gather together. He used a position 300 meters away from the top of the bend, which could radiate to a large section of the road on both sides of the bend, as his sniper point.

This sniper point is blocked in front by many strange rocks, and there is also a small path at the back for detour. Even if he wants to make a quick decision, he will directly use [Camouflage], but he still needs to find a retreat first to be safe.

After entering the sniper point, Zhang Wu first filled the magazine of the Carl 98K so that he was ready to shoot at any time. Then he took out food and water, ate and rested while looking forward to the arrival of the Japanese.

He was not disappointed. Just after noon the next day, [Warning] sounded the alarm in his mind:
[Warning, warning, the west direction will be threatened, type: enemy, please respond as soon as possible! Warning, warning...]

coming!

Zhang Wu was cheered up and opened the [lock] and [telescope] directly, moved the muzzle of the gun to the west, and waited for the arrival of the Japanese.

Soon a convoy appeared from the west, with four motorcycles leading the way in front and 4 trucks following behind, and they entered Sanshupo in a mighty manner.

When the range reached 600 meters, the machine guns on the roof of each vehicle, the front 3 and rear 3 trucks and more than 20 red dots on each truck were all scanned out by the [telescope].

It looks like a squadron!
Zhang Wu raised the corner of his mouth slightly. His original choice was right. This was much safer than attacking the Huting stronghold which was armed to the teeth, and it would also provide much more experience!

Marking out the supreme commander lieutenant and three second lieutenants, Zhang Wu put his hand on the trigger, pinched the [camouflage], and the muzzle began to move with the lieutenant's movement!
"The wheel marks are so deep, it must be carrying a lot of good stuff!"

Li Yunlong and the other Japanese soldiers fired their conventional weapons at them, and while waving his hand to let the soldiers get ready, he laughed:
"Haha, this is to congratulate me, Li Yunlong, on getting rich!"
