Coiling Dragon Gorge.
As the name suggested, this place looked like a huge dragon coiling between several mountains.
There were mountains on both sides of the Coiling Dragon Gorge. These mountains were not high, only 100 to 200 meters above sea level. As it was the middle of winter, most of the trees in the land of the Three Jin Dynasties had become bare, so did these mountains.
The mouth of the Coiling Dragon Gorge was in the southwest, and the tail of the dragon was in the northeast. It was two or three miles from the mouth of the dragon to the tail of the dragon. The mouth of the dragon was wide. The canyon between the two mountains was only ten meters wide at most, and the narrow part was less than five meters.
When Li Yun Long led his troops to the Coiling Dragon Gorge, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. He climbed the highest mountain and carefully surveyed the surrounding terrain. Then, he began to allocate the troops.
"Zhang Dabiao, lead a company and ambush at the mountain pass. Don't attack the devils when they come in. After they come in, put them in your pocket.”
"An Lanxiu, lead the brothers of the 4th Battalion and set up an ambush near the dragon's tail to prevent the devils from breaking out from the dragon's tail.”
"Old Xing, lead the brothers from the Second Company and Third Company of the First Battalion to the mountain to the west to hide.”
"The other two companies will follow me and set up an ambush here.”
"Yes."
Everyone, including Vice Commander Xing Guozhi, saluted Li Yunlong.
"Old Xing, you have to be careful. We have to cooperate well.”
Li Yunlong pointed at the canyon below and said to Xing Guozhi,""When the Japanese come, I'll fight first. Remember not to shoot on your side. At that time, the Japanese will definitely hide at the foot of the mountain and shoot at us. At that time, the Japanese will all be exposed to your guns.”
"Understood." Xing Guozhi nodded, turned around, and left with his troops.
Not long after Li Yunlong arranged the battle strategy, the two crows responsible for reconnaissance returned.
"The Japanese have reached the village ahead. There are many iron lumps.”
"You came quite quickly."
As Li Yunlong spoke, he picked up his binoculars and looked at the village in the distance. Sure enough, he saw the figure of the Japanese. The first was four three-wheeled vehicles. Each three-wheeled vehicle had three Japanese on it.
Behind the three-wheeled motorcycle, there were more than ten Japanese military trucks that were driving towards them. Each truck had 30 Japanese soldiers standing on it, and there was a machine gun on the front of the truck.
A group of Japanese followed behind the truck.
"As I expected, it's a garrison brigade.”
Put down the binoculars and immediately order the troops to hide. They must not be discovered by the Japanese's vanguard.
Five to six minutes later, the convoy stopped at the dragon's mouth.
A Japanese with the rank of lieutenant general got off the truck and gestured to the four three-wheeled vehicles in front of him.
The drivers of the four three-wheeled vehicles nodded and slowly drove into the canyon.
The Japanese soldiers on the three-wheeled motorcycle were on full alert. The Japanese soldiers in the truck turned their machine guns to the mountains on both sides. The Japanese soldier behind the driver also raised his three-eight hood and focused on the mountains on both sides.
"Hide well. The Japanese are about to start reconnaissance.”
Zhang Dabiao, who was hiding on both sides of the dragon's mouth, immediately shouted. The soldiers around him immediately retracted their heads. No one was willing to be the victim of the Japanese's stray bullets.
Zhang Dabiao was right. As expected, when the four three-wheeled vehicles entered the canyon about 50 meters away, four light machine guns fired at the same time.
The machine gun bullets hit the ground in front of Zhang Dabiao and the others, causing soil to fly everywhere. Some of them even flew over their heads.
Seeing that there was no response from the surroundings, the four three-wheeled vehicles continued to move forward.
Along the way, the four machine guns were unheard of. Bullets rained down on the mountain as if they were free.
The veterans of the Independent Regiment had experienced this kind of thing often before. They knew that this was the Japanese's trick. Every time they passed a dangerous place, they would use machine guns to carry out fire reconnaissance.
Therefore, no one was willing to be the unlucky one.
The reason why Li Yun Long had An Lan Xiu bring the 4th Battalion to the end was because he was afraid that they were inexperienced and couldn't help but attack at this moment. If that happened, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
In fact, Li Yunlong's worries were unnecessary. Although the bandits of Mount Qiu Long had been bandits for more than ten years, their military quality was still there. They also had a lot of combat experience with the Japanese.
When the four tricycles reached the middle of the canyon, the lieutenant general had been observing the mountain peaks on both sides of the canyon with binoculars. Seeing that there was no movement from the mountains despite the fierce firepower, he waved his hand and led the rest of the troops to follow up.
"Hehe, the Japanese are coming up. Get ready.”
Li Yunlong picked up a Mauser 98K sniper rifle and aimed it at the first Japanese military vehicle that was slowly approaching.
It was close.
One kilometer.
A minute later.
Five hundred meters.
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound, a golden bullet spun at high speed and shot towards the Japanese lieutenant in the front passenger seat of the first car.
The glass shattered.
Pfff. It pierced through his glabella.
Li Yunlong's shot accurately hit the middle of the lieutenant's forehead. The high-speed rotating bullet quickly drilled into the lieutenant's head with great kinetic energy. Finally, it opened the top of his head, and a mixture of red and white blood and brain matter splashed out.
"Fight!"
The gunshot was the signal.
Meng Liande, the Company Commander of the Third Company of the Second Battalion beside Li Yunlong, shouted and fired as well…
