Chapter 22: Preparing for an Ambush

Graduates of the Artillery Section of the Central Military Academy? Hearing this, Ren Laifeng was a little dizzy with happiness. You must know that in this era, the Central Military Academy represented the military academy with the highest level in the country, and the graduates who went out of here were all the backbone and elite of the army. It can be said that the Central Military Academy is the cradle of generals, and the first step for a person to move from a soldier to a general.

Will the company commander of the artillery company of the Flying Tiger Battalion be a high-achieving student who graduated from the artillery department of the Central Military Academy? Just when Ren Laifeng was about to inquire about the name of the future artillery company commander, someone from outside came to report that the reconnaissance platoon commander had something to see.

Confused looking for something to me? Ren Laifeng hesitated, and Lin Xincheng hurriedly stood up and said goodbye: "Battalion commander, I still have a little step in advance." I'll hurry up with the selection of the artillery section. Three days at the least, five days at the most, and I'll give you an answer. Farewell. ”

Lin Xincheng is so smart, he knows that what he came to report to Ren Laifeng in a daze must be confidential, and he, the deputy battalion commander who is not a descendant, is annoying others by dangling in front of him, so it is better to avoid it as soon as possible.

Ren Laifeng didn't know what he was going to report, although he wanted to get closer to Lin Xincheng, but he really didn't know if the news brought by the stunned was suitable for Lin Xincheng to participate. Deputy Lin Ying took the initiative to avoid it, saving each other's embarrassment. It seems that the relationship between him and Deputy Battalion Commander Lin needs to be improved.

The stunned is definitely good news, the devil has another military vehicle passing through Zhongmu County! The news was sent by Yoshitomo Ito. Second Lieutenant Ito told the battalion commander that at 11 o'clock the night after tomorrow, a large convoy would pass through Wild Wolf Valley. At that time, the battalion commander can lead his troops to pick up the goods. As for the price, it goes with the market price. What is it? Grain, that is, rice!

A large fleet of vehicles must have at least three or more vehicles to be called a team, right? Robbed this grain transport team? Even if the Flying Tiger Battalion can't be used up, it can be distributed to the people. Ren Laifeng's current official position is the commander of the Ninth Guerrilla Division of the Henan-Anhui Border Region.

Done! While Ren Laifeng decided to do it, he was also a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't know why there were always big cases to be done near Zhongmu recently. First there were seventy machine guns, then six heavy guns, and then a convoy of rice. What are you doing here, devil? Are you ready to hoard weapons, grain and grass to kill the Yellow River?

It was precisely because of this uneasiness in his heart that Ren Laifeng decided that he would personally lead the food snatching operation. As for the selection of troops, it is naturally the puppet army company in Zhongmu County, Hexi. Those puppet soldiers are already a little bit old, and when they fight two more battles, they will almost meet the requirements for enlistment.

Ren Laifeng plans to officially incorporate Company Commander Qi and his puppet army company before the end of this year, and then the Flying Tiger Battalion will have another combat company!

Ren Laifeng handed over the daily work of the troops to Deputy Lin Ying, and handed over the safety work to Fu Erchong. After explaining the precautions, Ren Laifeng crossed the New Yellow River again with the few people who accompanied him last time.

The puppet army fought two beautiful battles in a row, and it was when the morale was high, and as soon as Ren Laifeng came, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the officers and soldiers of the third company!

"Commander Ren!" "Salute Commander Ren!" "Commander Ren, come home with me when you're done. I asked my wife to stir-fry a few plates of side dishes and stew a chicken, and let's have two drinks. "Commander Ren, it's easy to walk along the way, right?"

All kinds of greetings were one after another, and Ren Lai responded happily one after another, making him feel like a wanderer who had not returned home for many years had returned to his hometown. By the time he finally divided the crowd and got together with Company Commander Qi, ten minutes had passed.

"Brothers, disperse. Commander Ren personally came to inspect and we had to report on our work seriously. If there is any new arrangement, I will inform the brothers as soon as possible. Let's all go back, all go back to the dormitory! What are you talking like here? Go back to sleep! Company Commander Qi drove all the soldiers who wanted to see the excitement back to the barracks and accompanied Ren Laifeng into his company commander's office.

"Commander Ren personally crossed the river here, if you have any orders, just say, Qi guarantees to fully comply with it!"

Yes, yes, at least this attitude is quite correct! Ren Laifeng is very happy. Then he told the whole story of the grain convoy that was going to cross the border. Company Commander Qi came to his senses as soon as he heard it. "Commander, don't worry, the grain convoy will be handed over to us in the third company, and you will put a hundred hearts! If they don't come, just stop. As long as they come, I guarantee they won't be able to run a car! When the time comes, you just have to come and accept the grain. ”

Although with the assurance of Company Commander Qi, Ren Laifeng still couldn't be completely relieved. I don't know why, he's always suspicious of this action, and he always feels like something is going to happen.

"Huang Tian, Guojin, Yingying, don't leave my sight during this operation. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it. After instructing the three people to take precautions, he specially pulled Company Commander Qi aside and told him: You must be more careful when acting. If you notice a change in the situation, you should be improvisable and report it immediately.

Saying so much is basically the same as saying nothing. Ren Laifeng still always feels restless, as if he is missing something. But he couldn't remember the omission.

Time moves forward minute by minute, without stopping for a second. Finally, in the midst of a heart-pounding wait, this ambush night came again.

Ren Laifeng led the troops into the ambush area after dinner. When he came here, he divided the puppet army company into two parts, one on the left and one on the right, just like last time. They lay in ambush on both sides of the road, waiting for the enemy's convoy to rush to deliver food.

From nine o'clock in the evening until twelve o'clock, and then until three o'clock in the morning. The three platoon commanders of the puppet army company fell asleep in a pair and a half. Our scouts came back every half an hour to report on the progress of the enemy situation and how far the enemy was from the ambush circle.

At half past five o'clock in the morning, there was a sound of vibration and faint lights on the highway, and the lights lined up in a long string, and sure enough, it was a large convoy of Japanese troops carrying grain along the road. "The enemy is coming, ready to fight!" With Ren Laifeng's call, the entire army immediately became nervous.

The lights are getting closer and closer, and the shadow of the cart and the animal pulling the cart in front of me can be faintly seen. I don't know how much food can be pulled on each car.

"Command, no vehicles, no livestock. You can only fight devils. If the enemy surrenders with his guns, the soldiers are not allowed to kill the prisoners. After Ren Laifeng said a few points, the preparatory work was completed.

Looking at the larger and clearer convoy, the uneasiness in Ren Laifeng's heart became stronger and stronger.
