"Sir, if we ambush the Japanese convoy at Xiangtangpu, the Japanese army on the Li Cheng side can send a squadron of 350 devils at most, and the reinforcement time will be one and a half hours. The Japanese army in Shexian County can send a squadron of 240 people, and the reinforcement time is 2 hours, and Wuxiang can draw a large number of troops, but the reinforcement time will be very long, it is estimated that there will be 4 hours, and the Dongyang Pass stronghold should be all dispatched, with a total of about 1,500 troops."

Xiao Ziyun raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Zhi, seeing that he didn't mean to interrupt him, so he continued, "The time I calculated for the enemy's reinforcement just now is the time it takes the enemy to use cars, but I think that in order to transport this batch of supplies, the enemy should evacuate the cars in the strongholds along the way, so the reinforcement time may be doubled."

The reinforcements that can come at any time plus the escorted Japanese army, there are almost 4,000 Japanese troops, Zhao Zhi's heart is a little hesitant, although he also has 4,000 people, but those Jewish soldiers are still the first battle with the Japanese army, if the first battle is not smooth, then this infantry regiment will not have a good time in the future. But Zhao Zhi was in a blink of an eye, when he thought of the materials and ammunition of nearly 200 cars, he was suddenly reluctant to give up, so many materials and ammunition were enough for three months of consumption of a division of the Japanese army.

Isn't the main purpose of this assault war to prevent the ammunition supplies transported by the Japanese army in North China from entering Shanxi? Thinking of this, Zhao Zhi finally made a decision to ambush the Japanese army's convoy transporting ammunition supplies in Xiangtangpu. Zhao Zhi and the staff officers began to formulate a detailed ambush plan around the sketch drawn according to the scout's reconnaissance situation, and Xiao Ziyun and several of them were all graduates of Huangpu, so there was no problem in formulating a battle plan.

Looking at the plan that Xiao Ziyun and they came up with, Zhao Zhi read it carefully: "The 1st Company of the 1st Battalion set up a blocking position in Majiawa to block the reinforcements sent from the direction of Dongyangguan in Licheng, and the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion set up a blocking position in Chunshuling to block the reinforcements sent from the direction of Shexian County, and each of the two blocking positions sent a mortar company to assist in the defense. All the remaining troops, a total of 10 companies, were under the unified command of Zhao Zhi, and an ambush position was set up in Xiangtangpu to ambush the devil's convoy."

"Okay, that's it, pull the direct company up and try it" Zhao Zhi looked at the battle plan, and nodded with satisfaction, the direct company he said were all logistics personnel such as radio soldiers, men, and medical soldiers, including staff officers like Xiao Ziyun and them. Chiang Kai-shek sent them to Zhao Zhi, not to let them wear clean gloves all day long and do nothing, if they want to learn the ability to lead troops to fight, then they have to see the real chapter on the battlefield, and there is no blood in their hands.

Soon, this supplemented battle plan was issued to officers at and above the company level. The Jewish officers who received the order began to act one after another, because it was only the 13th, and the devil's convoy would not pass through Xiangtangpu until the morning of the 15th at the earliest, so Zhao Zhi and the others had plenty of time to set up their positions, distribute ammunition, and prepare before the battle.

After the battle order was issued, Zhao Zhi took 100 mercenaries and Xiao Ziyun and a few of their staff officers to quietly approach Xiangtangpu, because it was now close to night, and the busy highway gradually became quieter. Zhao Zhi held the binoculars and observed carefully, but it was really as the scouts had investigated, Xiangtangpu was indeed a natural ambush battlefield. The whole road is winding and winding, hovering at the foot of one mountain after another, and it is conceivable that standing on the road can only see a hundred meters in front and behind at most, and as for the longer distance, it will not be visible, which is very conducive to the interspersing and division of troops.

The next morning, Xiao Ziyun and the others handed over a detailed troop deployment on the ambush to Zhao Zhi's hands, and the troops, firearms, and heavy weapons were all marked in detail. In order not to affect the march in the mountains and forests, Zhao Zhi and the others didn't have many heavy weapons at all, so Xiao Ziyun transferred all 20 mortars to a centralized arrangement. The 100 bazookas, which were used as thunderbolt firepower weapons, were arranged separately for several kilometers along the way, and a group of five bazookas was arranged every 200 meters, because everyone believed that if five bazooka rockets were fired in a row, all the Japanese troops within at least 50 meters before and after would definitely return to see the emperor.

The 50 Browning heavy machine guns brought by the Jewish soldiers were the main firepower of the ambush, and Xiao Ziyun arranged them in the middle of the ambush circle, and the stupid Jewish soldiers dug holes and rocks like crazy, and built a machine gun bunker that they considered impregnable, as long as the Japanese did not use 75 mountain guns and mortars with a caliber of more than 80 mm to bombard, their Browning heavy machine guns would be safe and sound. Zhao Zhi's original intention was just to let the soldiers of his direct company come up and feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, so Xiao Ziyun arranged for them to be ammunition bearers for the heavy machine gun position and the Bazooka group.

Seeing Xiao Ziyun's arrangement of the Bazuka group, Zhao Zhi suddenly thought that they still had those TNT explosives that they had worked hard to carry from Zhangwu County, these things were all for ambush and back, so he didn't think about bringing them back the same way. With the help of experienced sappers, 50 explosives bags were buried on the slopes on both sides of the road, Zhao Zhi and their long-distance run will inevitably encounter the Japanese army, sometimes they can't avoid it, and the scouts will also piggyback on these guys, so Zhao Zhi They still have a lot of Arisaka rifle bullets in their hands, in order to increase the power of the explosive bag, the sappers also wrapped those bullets on the explosive bag.

Seeing such an ambush position, the officers under Zhao Zhi all looked at each other, and everyone knew the power of the explosive bag. If you detonate 50 explosive packs along the way at once, you can imagine what will become of the devils, and how many devils will be left who can resist. Now in order to increase the power of the explosive bag, the sappers actually tied the captured bullets on the explosive bag, if this cowardly once exploded, the power is no less than a large-caliber howitzer, thinking of this, everyone knows why Zhao Zhi has the courage to rely on the strength of only 4,000 people in his hands, surrounded by the heavy Japanese army, to attack the elite of the Japanese army of more than 2,000 people.

With enough time, the Jewish soldiers under Zhao Zhi arranged the entire ambush position perfectly, and from the road, it was impossible to see that there was an ambush force of 4,000 troops hiding here. Zhao Zhi's Jewish Legion started from Burma, and the first thing they received was civil engineering training, and during their time in Burma to protect the road, they were led by the mercenary instructors of the training camp to build fortifications and bunkers along the Yunnan-Burma Road.

"Okay, it's good" As the sun set, Zhao Zhi took Xiao Ziyun and the others to take a rough look at the location of the machine gun bunker and the Bazooka group, and they were busy all day, everyone was tired and the thieves died, but everyone didn't dare to take it lightly, and they also thought about adding some more soil and cover shrubs to their bunker fortifications. Tomorrow was the day when the ambush began, and the Jewish soldiers who had fought the Japanese for the first time were both excited and frightened, and they had to die in battle, although they looked down on the Japanese monkeys in their hearts, but the bullets flying on the battlefield cost lives, and their only reliance was on the weapons in their hands and the hidden fortifications being built.

And just when Zhao Zhi and the others were able to arrange their positions, the Japanese army captain Moriki Nakasa was confidently sitting in the tent of the temporary camp in the afterglow of the setting sun, drinking special sake and enjoying a sumptuous dinner that only officers could enjoy. After a day's march, although he was tired, Moriki was excited. Because he was lucky to be transferred to the rear to transport supplies, he didn't have to go to the front line to brave the rain of bullets and bullets, although thinking like this would damage the dignity of the imperial samurai, but as a middle school teacher, Moriki Nakasa, still hated fighting on the front line, not to mention, not only did he have sufficient supplies in the rear, but now he commanded far more than a brigade of troops.

What's more, in the rear, there are almost no strong soldiers on the front line, and the enemies he encounters now are some untrained bandit guerrillas, and for these enemies, he only needs to pay a small price, and he can get great combat achievements, after all, combat merit is something that every samurai wants. Thinking of these easy-to-get military exploits, the bandit guerrillas who were beaten everywhere by themselves. Nakasa Moriki was excited in his heart.

Since this time it escorted nearly a month's operational supplies to the front line, the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army attached special importance to it, and repeatedly demanded that the troops be escorted to be wiped out in a timely manner and that the safety of this batch of ammunition should also be ensured. So in order to prevent the ammunition from being detonated in the event of an attack, Moriki ordered that the ammunition of each car be covered with a thick quilt. Mori Mu believed that with the protection of these watered thick quilts, the fragments of bullets and grenades were useless to hit them, unless the shells hit them directly, but who would have a cannon along the way? The answer is no.

So today, when he encountered a group of bandits who took the opportunity to rob, let the bullets fly indiscriminately on the car, and Moriki was not worried about the ammunition on the car at all. He decisively ordered a squadron of soldiers to exterminate this group of bandits, and the results were very impressive, and after a dozen mortar shells fell, this group of bandits disappeared completely. A lot of bandits' equipment was also seized to receive military merit. Moriki was extremely happy when he thought of the powerful firepower and sufficient supplies he had. I slept with peace of mind, looking forward to meeting some enemies tomorrow and increasing my achievements.
