Holding the original shares, they fought all the way to the Korean War!

About half an hour later.

Several figures appeared at the bend in the mountain road.

Ma Yong led the ten men back quickly.

When he walked up to Zhou Tianyang.

His breathing was a little more rapid than usual, but his expression remained calm.

"Commander, it definitely has a tail."

Zhou Tianyang's gaze darkened.

"How many?"

"More than two hundred people, they should be the remnants of the Japanese soldiers who escaped."

"They were about three miles away from us, walking slowly and in loose formation."

"I squatted on the ridge and observed that their communications soldiers would stop every now and then to set up the radio."

"They should be reporting their position to the wing at regular intervals."

Zhou Tianyang did not speak immediately.

He stood there, his gaze fixed on the distance, and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he turned around and looked at Deng Chen and Ma Yong.

"They want to hold us off until reinforcements surround us."

"If they keep following us, we won't be able to shake them off; they'll catch up sooner or later."

Deng Chen's voice carried a sense of certainty.

"Commander, we need to give them a good beating so they can't follow us anymore."

"They won't stop unless you hit them hard enough."

Zhou Tianyang nodded and looked in that direction again.

"Then let's fight."

"The same old method, they've chased us this far."

"It's time for us to make dumplings for them."

Zhou Tianyang squatted down and took out the hand-drawn map from his pocket, spreading it on the ground.

Deng Chen and Ma Yong both came over at the same time, their three heads hovering around the rough map.

Zhou Tianyang's fingers moved quickly along the route they had taken.

It swipes back a distance from its current position.

Then it stopped at a location marked with two parallel short lines.

"here."

Zhou Tianyang tapped those two spots with his finger.

Deng Chen's gaze fell on the map. He squinted at it for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Two hills, with a dirt road in between, the distance between the two hills is just right for trapping and beating the dog."

"right."

Zhou Tianyang lifted his finger from the map, his tone short and firm.

"It's only two miles from where we are now; it would take less than twenty minutes to march there."

"After we arrived, Battalion Commander Deng led fifty men to the front and blocked the exit in front of the two hills."

"Ma Yong led fifty men to ambush at the entrance at the back."

"The rest of the men were scattered between the two hills, attacking from both sides."

He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Deng Chen and Ma Yong's faces.

"As long as those two hundred or so Japanese soldiers walk between those two hills, blocking them from the front and back, and the ambush troops in the middle attack, they won't be able to escape."

Deng Chen's gaze lingered on the location on the map for a few seconds before he looked up.

"Commander, if fifty men are blocking the front, and the Japanese charge forward desperately, can fifty men hold them off?"

"You don't need to hold on for too long."

Zhou Tianyang's tone was confident.

"Once the main force in the middle opens fire, the firepower at both ends can suppress the enemy."

"The Japanese troops were blocked from the front and rear, and attacked from both sides in the middle. They simply couldn't deploy their formation in this terrain."

"No matter how many people there are, it's useless. If everyone is crammed together, they can't even hold a gun up."

Deng Chen didn't ask any more questions, but simply nodded.

Zhou Tianyang put the map into his pocket, stood up, and glanced at the entire team.

The soldiers who were resting saw him, Deng Chen, and Ma Yong huddled together and discussed for so long.

I have a vague feeling that something is about to happen again.

"Everyone has it!"

Zhou Tianyang's voice rose a few decibels, becoming exceptionally clear in the silent valley.

"The target is two miles ahead, on a dirt road between two hills. Advance at full speed!"

"Pack your things, take all the supplies you can, and let's go!"

After the order was passed down.

The team regrouped in less than two minutes.

Deng Chen had already selected fifty people to walk at the front.

They moved a little faster than the others, but still maintained good formation.

Ma Yong led another fifty people at the back of the group, maintaining a relatively independent distance.

The remaining two hundred or so people were in the middle.

The team was led directly by Zhou Tianyang.

The team advanced rapidly along the mountain road.

Although the soldiers carrying heavy loads walked with heavy steps, no one fell behind or dawdled.

Deng Chen and his fifty men were the first to reach the two hills.

He stopped behind an earthen embankment ahead and quickly scanned the overall terrain.

Then he turned around and gestured to the team behind him.

The fifty people silently dispersed, splitting into two groups.

One team occupies the left slope, and the other team occupies the right slope.

From the outside, you couldn't tell at all that there were people hiding in those two bushes.

Ma Yong and his fifty men arrived shortly afterward.

Their mission was to ambush the Japanese troops on the slopes on both sides of the rear entrance, blocking their retreat route.

Their movements were equally swift, and the formation of fifty men was fully deployed within minutes.

Everyone lay prone in their respective firing positions, guns pointed forward, fingers on the triggers.

Waiting for those two hundred-odd Japanese soldiers to walk in.

Zhou Tianyang led the remaining two hundred-plus people into the middle section of the area.

They spread out on the slopes inside the two hills, some lying behind bushes, others crouching in the shadows beside rocks.

The gun barrels were all pointed at the center of the dirt road, forming a dense crossfire line.

Zhou Tianyang climbed to the middle section of the hill on the left.

There was a protruding rock that was much higher than the surrounding slopes.

It offers a perfect panoramic view of the entire dirt road.

He propped up his sniper rifle in a crevice of the rock and peered through the scope toward the bend in the mountain road in the distance.

From here, the dirt road between the two hills is clearly visible.

The dirt road extends from the southeast.

It passes through a distance of about 300 meters between two hills, and then extends from the northwest.

The entire road is a natural ambush site.

Both the entrance and exit were controlled in advance.

The middle section is sandwiched between the slopes on both sides.

The area was only a few dozen meters wide, and once the firing started, the Japanese soldiers in the middle had no room to maneuver.

Deng Chen quickly crept up from the entrance at the foot of the mountain.

He crouched down behind Zhou Tianyang and reported in a low voice.

"Commander, everyone in front is in position."

Zhou Tianyang nodded, his gaze still fixed on the scope.

"Go over there, the Japanese are almost here."

Deng Chen didn't say anything more, bent down and quickly returned to the front along the foot of the mountain.

Time passed by, second by second.

More than three hundred pairs of eyes stared at the end of the dirt road, without making a sound.

Zhou Tianyang lay prone behind the rock, his finger lightly resting on the trigger.

His breathing was steady and even, and his body remained motionless, like a stone blending into the contours of the hillside.

the other side.

Tanaka Ichiro walked at the front of the group, his pace much faster than before.

He had regained that confident rhythm, though his expression remained tense.

But beneath the tension, something different has begun to emerge.

He was thinking about something.

The entire main force of the team has been deployed.

As long as he continues to hold onto that group of Eighth Route Army soldiers, he can form an encirclement once the main force arrives.

This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers will have no chance of escaping.
