The guerrillas were indeed poor, and their breakfast was very simple. Each person had a cornmeal bun, and it was not big. A person with a big mouth could swallow it in one bite.
It was already 7:00 after breakfast. Captain Li ordered the troops to gather.
Most of the villagers were still in bed. The guerrillas stood straight in the yard against the biting cold wind.
Wang Xiaoshi secretly nodded. Although the weapons and equipment of these guerrillas were outdated, more than half of them did not have guns.
The conditions were very harsh. It seemed that everyone was undernourished, but their willpower was very firm. This virtue was incomparable to any army in the world.
Following Captain Li's order, hundreds of people began to run forward at full speed towards the designated location dozens of miles away.
Seeing that Wang Xiaoshi and the others were running without any redness or panting, and each of them was carrying a few dozen pounds of weight, although Zhao Li was not surprised, Captain Li and the others were secretly surprised.
Wang Xiaoshi was also a little surprised. He had thought that it would be good enough to arrive before noon.
These seemingly thin and weak guerillas were actually half an hour ahead of schedule.
The designated location was a small hill less than 100 meters in size, with an area of about three square kilometers. The road extended westward along the hill.
There was a river to the north of the mound. It was already frozen in the middle of winter, so there was no problem for people and animals to walk on it.
There was a forest about 1000 meters south of the mound, where the guerrillas were hiding.
Due to the cold weather, the guerillas were so cold that their teeth chattered.
Although the snow had stopped long ago, there was still more than a foot of snow on the ground. Wang Xiaoshi wondered if the Japanese would go out in such terrible weather.
After some investigation, Wang Xiaoshi frowned. This place was about 30 kilometers away from the county, but there were several villages scattered around, which greatly increased the difficulty of the ambush.
This small mound was the only high ground in this area. If they started to build fortifications now, as long as they were not blind, the people around them would be able to see it. Wouldn't they be exposed?
"The situation isn't looking good for the two of you.”
"The county town is an open area. There's no better place for an ambush than here.”
"If it was easy, we wouldn't have come to you." Captain Li sighed.”
Wang Xiaoshi did not say anything else. The arrow was already on the bow and had no choice but to shoot. Now, he could only brace himself and go up. What he was most worried about now was that the Japanese would not make a move in such cold weather.
"Captain Li, is there anything wrong with your intelligence? Will the Japanese transport team really be dispatched?”
"Are you suspecting us? If that's the case, just leave. We definitely won't keep you.”
Instructor Li had long disliked Wang Xiaoshi. Now that he saw that Wang Xiaoshi was hesitating, he immediately pointed the gun at him.
Seeing Wang Xiaoshi frown, Zhao Li quickly stood up and said,"Brother, don't worry. Our information is absolutely accurate. The Japanese transport team will definitely come tomorrow at the latest.”
"Is that really the case?"
"Definitely."
Wang Xiaoshi saw that he was so sure, and he became a little suspicious.
According to past practice, it was impossible for the Japanese to come out in such bad weather. However, the intelligence showed that they would definitely come out. This situation was very abnormal and made people suspicious.
"Captain Li, Political Commissar Zhao, why don't we forget about it this time?”
Wang Xiaoshi expressed his worries to the two of them.
He guessed that this was probably a trap set by the Japanese because they often ambushed in this area. The Japanese were not stupid.
The key was that the guerillas would change locations with every shot. The Japanese had no way of determining their exact location.
The current weather was very favorable for the Japanese because it was snowing heavily. No matter where the guerrillas went, they would leave traces.
"Brother, I don't think that's possible."
"This place is boundless. Are you being paranoid?”
When the two of them heard Wang Xiaoshi's words, although they were a little worried, their conditions were too harsh. They really did not want to let go of this good opportunity to replenish their supplies.
"In that case, let's fight. However, in order to deal with unexpected situations, we need to adjust our tactics.”
"We can't retreat now. Since the guerillas want to fight, Wang Xiaoshi can only bite the bullet and fight. However, he already has his suspicions beforehand, so he can have time to think of a way to deal with it.”
After that, Wang Xiaoshi got Zhao Li and the others to light a fire in the forest to keep warm. He brought the sisters to the nearby villages to investigate.
The reason why Wang Xiaoshi dared to ignite the fire in such a big way was that he felt that it was no longer important. He felt that this was a trap set by the Japanese, so he did not care.
Otherwise, before the battle even started, the troops would be frozen.
In the afternoon, Wang Xiaoshi returned with the sisters. Each of them held a few bundles of white cloth in their hands.
"Brother, what are you doing with so many white cloths? Where did you get these white cloths?”
"I bought it from a rich family in the village.”
Wang Xiaoshi waved his hand and said casually. Ignoring Zhao Li and the others 'attitudes, he quickly said,"Everyone, pull out some white cloth and make a cloak. It's best if it can even cover the head. It must be done before midnight. Everyone, hurry up and start moving!”
Zhao Li immediately understood Wang Xiaoshi's intentions. On this snowy land, making a white cloak was definitely the best disguise. Therefore, she immediately ordered her comrades to start working.
The guerillas were used to sewing, so they carried needles and thread with them. Making a cloak was not a complicated matter, so it did not take long for them to finish it.
Regardless of whether it fit or not, at the very least, he was wrapped in a layer of cloth so that he would be warmer.
Wang Xiaoshi had exchanged all these in the system store. It cost him more than 100 points, and Wang Xiaoshi felt a little annoyed.
After midnight, Wang Xiaoshi asked Captain Li to lead his men to the other side of the river. She asked Bull to follow them.
The two sisters built a sniper position on the top of the mountain. Wang Xiaoshi hid in the forest alone. He returned to the sisters 'side after dawn.
"Captain Li, I think Wang Xiaoshi doesn't know how to arrange his troops. He didn't choose such a good terrain on the hill, but chose to let us ambush here. If anything happens, I'm afraid we'll all be wiped out.”
In the fortifications on the other side of the river, the guerrillas were filled with resentment, and Instructor Li was even more furious.
In his eyes, Wang Xiaoshi and the others were lying in ambush on the hillside and were already prepared to escape.
"We are the party's troops, and we always keep our word. Since we agreed to let him command this war, we shouldn't say anything.”
Zhao Li and Captain Li also didn't understand Wang Xiaoshi's actions, but they firmly believed that Wang Xiaoshi would never play tricks on them.
"Captain, Wang Xiaoshi has sent us a signal. We have already discovered the Japanese convoy in front of us. They are about 8 miles away from us.”
Everyone immediately tensed up. Captain Li checked the pistol in his hand and said,"Comrades, check your equipment.”
It was already noon.
On the hillside, Wang Xiaoshi and the sisters were lying in the sniper point. Their bodies were covered in snow. Through the sniper scope, Wang Xiaoshi could see everything within ten miles.
"Am I being paranoid?"
After about five minutes, Wang Xiaoshi gave the binoculars to Xiao Yun and said,""Other than the Japanese's motorcade, he didn't find anything suspicious on the road. He has already scouted the other villages, but there was no sign of any movement. Even if the Japanese had done the same disguise, they wouldn't be able to escape his eyes.”(Flower evaluation)
