Chapter Sixty-Nine: Heroic Ambition
In terms of control of the Indochina Federation alone, the military group headed by the new governor, Ampos, was far inferior to the plantation interests led by Roland. The most obvious difference is that the civilian clique headed by Roland not only firmly controls the colonial government system at all levels, but also controls the three puppet kingdoms of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos through the so-called plenipotentiary colonial ministers.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning of 6 July, on a main road leading to the east in the southern suburbs of Pakse City, an important city in southwestern Laos, a contingent of about 1,100 people drove over in military trucks, off-road vehicles, and armored vehicles. About three minutes after the convoy, a local man quickly climbed down from a tree on the side of the road, then pushed out a bicycle hidden in the grass and rode quickly towards Pakse City. Twenty minutes later, in a small village called Juku, about forty-five kilometers from Pakse, on the north side of the main road, a group of Frenchmen led by Dudley rushed out of the courtyard of the village chief's house, surrounded by a dozen of his men, and shouted a few words in all directions. Within minutes, more than 2,000 people from the village were focused on them.
Dudley was dressed as a soldier today, this slightly obese Frenchman was fully armed, carrying a shotgun on his back, and two short guns stuck in the waistband of his trousers, and the most nondescript thing was that he actually tied a pair of military binoculars to his trouser belt. He walked to the front of the disheveled queue, glared murderously at the plantation guards who were chirping and talking about something with rudimentary weapons on their backs, and exclaimed, "Give me silence!" Your master told you, right? Today, we are going to carry out a difficult and great task. Later, no matter what means you take, as long as you can kill a soldier, you will be rewarded with ten acres of orchards. If you can kill an officer, then depending on the size of the rank, you will be rewarded tenfold or even a hundredfold or a thousand! What's the noise? Wangchaβ"
"Sir," a dark-skinned, sturdy-looking Vietnamese stepped out of the line and stood in front of Dudley.
"Tell them that whoever talks casually again will not want this year's salary!"
"Yes!"
Wangcha is the chief captain of the Dudley family plantation guard. The former pirate leader was known for his ruthlessness and prestige among the convoys, and was appointed deputy commander of the convoy by Dudley. Wangcha reprimanded loudly in Vietnamese, and when he said that he was excited, the whip in his hand swung and left two deep blood marks on the faces of the two guards. As soon as he made a killing move, the others immediately behaved a lot, and no one dared to blatantly scare in private anymore.
Wang Cha took the discipline of the team seriously with two whips and three words, and felt a little complacent in his heart. He took two steps back and walked up to Dudley, and said respectfully, "Master, all right, please continue the lecture." β
Dudley gave him an appreciative look, waved him back, and then said loudly, "According to the information we have received, the enemy will arrive here in about an hour. Now, everyone immediately enters the battle position set yesterday and ambushes - I want to warn you that we are facing a professional soldier who kills people without blinking, so if you don't want to die, lie down honestly and don't expose your target in advance. Do you hear that?! β
"I hear you," the more than 2,000 guards replied weakly.
Dudley was helpless about the lack of discipline in the convoy, but he was not discouraged. Their original plan was only to kill the three culprits of Angbos, Ivan and Saqimon, but later realized that a simple assassination could not guarantee the killing of three people at the same time, and if someone slipped through the net, they would definitely retaliate, which could complicate the situation. Of course, the most important thing is that it may endanger the lives of these great masters. So he decided to carefully prepare an ambush operation, just in time to kill them in the name of the mob with frequent **. With 2,000 men ambushed by 1,000 men, and they also had a piece of artillery, Dudley felt that even if he could not completely annihilate Angpos and his guards, it would not be a problem to defeat them. And once they get into a scuffle, then Wangcha and his Einsatzgruppen will definitely be able to take advantage of the chaos to kill Angbos and the others. And as long as a few key figures such as Angpos die, then the overall situation is decided.
Under the command of Dudley, Wangcha and others, more than 2,000 escorts walked towards the preset ambush site, and it took about a quarter of an hour for all of them to be ambushed. After that, Dudley asked Wangcha to accompany him to check again, and then he returned to his temporary command place with satisfaction, opened the kettle and poured a cup of herbal tea imported from Guangzhou, and waited calmly.
When Dudley was directing the escorts to prepare for an ambush, on a big tree about 300 meters away from his temporary command post, two Japanese watched quietly, exchanging views softly from time to time.
The French did not know what to do, and their every move was under the watchful eye of the Japanese from beginning to end. After learning that they were going to ambush Angbos and others in the Pakse area, Kobayashi Yotai was really worried about these hypotheticians who were full of running trains, so he selected two heroic special forces who were good at sniping and asked them to follow the French to wait for an opportunity, so as to help them at a critical time, so as to completely eradicate the scourge of Angpos.
"A rabble, expect them to achieve something great!"
"Isn't there still us? Shimizu-kun, let's have a good competition to see who snips more enemies! β
"Okay! My 'Tiger Teeth' will be full of blood this time! β
"I don't know if there will be anyone accompanying the Lu Dao Scholar Army. If we can snipe and kill one or two high-ranking officers of the Cadet Army, then we can choose a big bargain this time. β
"I'd rather have two wolf fangs than that's challenging!"
β¦β¦
The fundamental reason why Koizumi Toshiichiro formed the Xiongfeng Special Forces was to target the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade of the Cadet Army. Therefore, the first training that the devil soldiers selected for the Xiongfeng Special Forces to receive when entering the camp is to learn several classic combat examples of wolf teeth, and the first thing they do before starting training every day is to shout "defeat wolf teeth". Koizumi Toshiichiro used this subtle way to implant the concept of "defeating the wolf's fang" into the mind of every heroic special soldier, and gradually, the heroes thought that only the wolf's tooth was worthy of being their enemy in this world.
At about 10:10, Ompos's convoy came into Wangcha's sight. The former pirate leader immediately slipped down from the tree, and then ran swiftly through the chaotic tropical jungle towards the makeshift command post. When Dudley received his report, he immediately stood up excitedly, pulled out his pistol and waved it vigorously, saying, "Very good, finally waited!" Walking out of the temporary command post, he said to Youan, a former French artillery second lieutenant who had been prepared for a long time: "Youan, the goal has arrived, and it will be up to you later!" β
Youan nodded, bent down and checked the thirty mm caliber battle defense gun in front of him again, confirmed that it could immediately enter the firing state, squinted his eyes and half-crouched down, and made an "OK" gesture towards Dudley.
