Throughout the entire journey, Li Feng did not speak. He had been carefully observing the Japanese transport team below.
After everyone's discussion ended, he revealed a gratified smile on his face and said,""Chen Yuan, not bad. You're qualified to be a scout squad leader. You've observed very carefully.”
With the help of Chen Yuan's careful observation, Li Feng quickly gained an intuitive understanding of the Japanese transport team.
This made Li Feng feel very gratified. Chen Yuan was the first system character he had summoned. He had high expectations for Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan did not disappoint Li Feng during his first actual combat investigation today. He was a good candidate!
Hearing Li Feng's praise, Chen Yuan's expression didn't change much, but her eyes revealed a trace of excitement. It felt good to be recognized.
After praising Chen Yuan, Li Feng's voice continued,""Chen Yuan's observation is very detailed. We can now confirm that this transport squadron is not simple.”
"So, I've decided to make this Japanese team our first target.”
"Looking at the direction that the Japanese are heading, they are heading south to Laiyuan County. This place is very close to Yu County. We will wait a little longer and let the Japanese advance a little further.”
As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, the first opponent of the third platoon was also confirmed.
Just like the last time when they ambushed the Japanese's captive escort team, this time, the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad were left behind to continue monitoring the Japanese. Li Feng led the main force of the Third Platoon to find a place to ambush the Japanese.
……
"Let's do it here!"
Li Feng, who had left first, led the three platoons and quickly found a nameless ravine. The ravine was not long, only about 500 meters.
Such a small ravine was not a good choice to ambush a Japanese squadron, but Li Feng still chose to ambush them here.
Because of the location of this ravine, it was about 21 km away from Yu County in the north and 28 km away from Laiyuan County in the south.
However, the distance in a straight line did not represent the actual distance. Moreover, the road conditions were not very good. With such a distance, even if the Japanese squadron encountered an ambush, it would take at least four hours for the nearest Yu County Japanese to arrive.
As for the Japanese in Laiyuan County, they would need at least six hours to get here.
Li Feng understood that for the Third Platoon, this Japanese squadron was a tough nut to crack. However, the real problem was not how to take down this squadron, but how to deal with the Japanese reinforcements.
The valley was not long. With the number of people in the third row, there was a possibility that the Japanese would break through the ambush and escape.
However, this place was indeed the most suitable place for an ambush within a 40-mile radius. If he chose another place, it would either be close to Laiyuan County or Yu County.
After walking back and forth a few times with a few squad leaders, Li Feng stood on the ridge and began to give orders.
"Li Changgong!"
Li Feng's gaze fell on Li Changgong, the first squad leader, and he said with a serious expression.
"Platoon leader!"
Li Changgong hurriedly responded.
"You will lead Squad One and block the Japanese's way forward. Whether we can wipe out this Japanese team will depend on whether you can withstand the Japanese's attack.”
Li Feng did not hesitate. He raised his finger and pointed at the entrance of the valley that was only three meters long more than 200 meters to the south.
That was the place where the Japanese came out of the ravine, and it was also the narrower place in the entire valley.
As soon as Li Feng said this, the three main squad leaders looked at Li Changgong with envy.
Everyone knew very well that the troops that fought the frontal defense were all tough main forces. Since Li Feng had given such an important task to Squad One, it meant that he recognized Squad One's combat strength. They naturally did not think that their soldiers were inferior to Squad One.
"Don't worry, Platoon Leader. Squad One will not let any Japanese get past us!”
Li Changgong felt the envy of the other class monitors. He was also very proud and replied without hesitation.
"Yes!"
Li Feng didn't care about the thoughts of his squad leaders and continued to give orders.
"The second and third squads will lie in ambush on the left side of the ravine. The fourth squad will lie in ambush on the right side of the ravine. The reconnaissance squad will be in charge of blocking the Japanese's retreat as soon as the battle starts.”
"The firepower squad is divided into three. One machine gun squad will follow the first squad, one machine gun squad will follow the second and third squads, and the last machine gun squad will follow the fourth squad.”
"The supply squad will be the reserve team for the entire platoon.”
Li Feng's orders were given one after another, and the tasks of each class became clear. Everyone began to build their positions according to Li Feng's plan.
Among the 120 soldiers in the third platoon, other than the five new recruits, the rest were all veterans who had experienced great battles.
Everyone did not have the pre-battle phobia that new recruits had. Instead, they were filled with fighting spirit and killing intent. They did not charge down and had a one-on-one battle with the Japanese. They would only be satisfied if they killed the Japanese themselves.
Time passed bit by bit. The ambush pocket array of the soldiers in the third row was set up. Li Feng also led the newly established artillery squad to set up the artillery position.
The entire Third Platoon, except for the reconnaissance squad, was still following the Japanese. They kept sending back news, and all the soldiers were already waiting silently.
Finally, another two hours passed, and it was already half past ten in the morning.
Chen Yuan brought the investigation squad back, and he also brought back the latest news.
"Reporting to the platoon leader, these Japanese will enter our ambush position in three minutes.”
