After listening to Zhou Ming's brief explanation, Su Yang felt a little better.
If they had to fight an enemy seven times their size with their previous amount of ammunition, it would be no different from suicide.
With these new supplies, as long as they used them well, it wouldn't be impossible to hold off the enemy.
The most important thing now was to prepare in advance and gain the upper hand.
“Old Zhou, how long do we need to hold off the enemy?”
Zhou Ming shook his head slightly: “There's no specific time, just until the agency personnel and civilians are evacuated.”
Hearing this, Su Yang nodded: “Then we'll take the initiative.”
Upon hearing this.
Zhou Ming was completely dumbfounded.
Take the initiative?
This…
Su Yang opened the hand-drawn map and explained: “From what you've received, we're already strategically surrounded by the enemy. Before they launch a sweep, we'll strike them first, catch them off guard.”
“Lure them into a chase, then ambush them, break their spirit.”
“We need to focus especially on the Japanese, once we’ve established our dominance, the puppet troops won’t be a threat.”
“I believe that without the Japanese threat, those puppet troops will definitely not fight to the death.”
“We can…”
Listening to Su Yang's detailed plan, Zhou Ming was taken aback.
“Upon reflection, this tactic is worth a try, but how do we lure the enemy into the ambush?”
Su Yang's eyes flashed with wisdom, laced with a hint of killing intent: “Taking the initiative will be up to me and Shui Sheng.”
“You just need to deploy according to the plan, we'll draw the enemy in.”
“Trust me!”
Seeing the confidence in Su Yang's eyes, Zhou Ming finally nodded.
“Alright, do as you say.”
“Everyone, organize your equipment, we'll depart in 10 minutes.”
“Yes!”
The team responded in unison.
Ten minutes later.
Su Yang and the others were fully prepared, and they quickly set off after Zhou Ming returned.
…
On the other side.
At the Xiao Wang Village outpost.
Kameda Saburo listened to his subordinates' report, a sinister smile spreading across his face.
Now that the troops were in place and had completed the encirclement, they only needed to sweep through and wipe out these troublesome 8th Route Army.
Kameda Saburo thought.
He then ordered: “Inform all units to immediately launch a sweep, eliminate all suspicious individuals. I want the 8th Route Army to have nowhere to hide.”
“Hai!”
Following that.
Kameda Saburo personally inspected the troops and delivered a rallying speech.
Then he led the team to start the sweep.
To encourage the puppet troops, Kameda Saburo assigned two infantry platoons to fight alongside the puppet troops.
In the eyes of the Japanese, these puppet troops were untrustworthy.
They also looked down on the puppet troops, considering themselves superior.
Just as Kameda Saburo was about to lead his team on a sweep.
Several kilometers from Xiao Wang Village, Su Yang and his team had already arrived.
They immediately began to deploy.
The Japanese never expected that the 8th Route Army, instead of trying to escape, would come to their doorstep and lay an ambush.
As Su Yang put it, this was called "hiding in plain sight!"
After deploying, Su Yang gave Zhou Ming a few instructions before leaving with Shui Sheng.
Gou Sheng watched Su Yang and Shui Sheng leave, worriedly asking: “Captain, isn't it too dangerous to set up an ambush right at the entrance of the Japanese outpost?”
“Will the Japanese fall for it?”
Although Zhou Ming also found it hard to believe, he trusted Su Yang.
If Su Yang could provoke the Japanese, then it was possible.
As for danger?
This blocking mission was inherently dangerous.
“I believe Comrade Su Yang will do it, just keep your spirits up and wait.”
“Yes.”
They quickly entered combat mode.
After over a month of working together, Su Yang had gained their trust.
…
On the other side.
When Su Yang and Shui Sheng reached a hillside outside the Xiao Wang Village outpost, they saw the Japanese and the puppet troops running out of the outpost.
They looked aggressive and menacing.
This further confirmed to Su Yang that the base had been exposed, and the Japanese's unusual behavior was specifically targeted at his team.
Fortunately, the team had the support of the local people and received the news in advance.
At a glance, the entire sweep force had at least two platoons.
This was about what they had estimated.
As the Japanese and puppet troops approached, Su Yang saw the details.
The puppet troops were leading the way, and the Japanese soldiers were behind.
Then,
Su Yang signaled Shui Sheng at another location, then aimed at the advancing enemy, looking for suitable targets.
To lure the enemy into the trap, they needed to provoke them.
Therefore, the first target was the Japanese sergeant.
As the enemy drew closer, Su Yang spotted a Japanese officer leading the way. He quietly aimed his Type 38 rifle.
When they were about 200 meters away, Su Yang didn’t hesitate, adjusted his breath, and pulled the trigger decisively.
“Bang～”
The bullet shot out at 765 meters per second.
