At this moment, all the soldiers of the new regiment were setting up positions on both sides of Zhengtai Road, preparing for cover.
The soldiers used shovels and hoes to quickly dig trenches.
After constructing the mortar and machine gun positions, and then digging the artillery pits, a powerful firepower network had been formed on both sides of Zhengtai Road.
On the hill two kilometers away from the ambush site, the new artillery battalion had already constructed an artillery position.
Just the speed at which the new regiment built their base left Vice President Peng and the other leaders in awe.
Furthermore, when they were building up their offensive positions, no one was whispering to each other. They were all doing their part.
In less than an hour, all the positions had been constructed, and they began to disguise the positions.
Putting away all the items, the new group of soldiers began to enter the trenches. With the help of camouflage, no one could discover that there were thousands of people hiding on both sides of Zhengtai Road.
"Well done." At the highest point of the surrounding area was the new command center. Vice President Peng used his binoculars to see this scene and praised sincerely.
"To be able to build such a perfect formation in such a short time, it's definitely one of the best out of all the main forces." Commander Liu praised.”
Listening to Vice President Peng and Division Commander Liu's conversation, Lu Yan said calmly,"
"This speed still needs to be improved. Against the Japanese with extremely high combat quality, we have to advance even further.
The Japanese were very good at setting up a defensive position. Sometimes, they would even set up a defensive position during a short break.
This kind of vigilance is something we can't compare to.
Moreover, there were professional engineers in the Japanese team who could use the surrounding environment to choose a location to build a position.
Even though the Japanese are invaders, their tactics are worth learning.”
After hearing Lu Yan's words, Vice President Peng and the others nodded. The Japanese did have their merits.
Therefore, only by seeing the gap between them and the Japanese could they continue to improve and kill the Japanese.
While Lu Yan and the others were chatting, the camouflage of the new group of soldiers had ended. Then, the engineer company went forward and began to bury mines on Zhengtai Road.
Seeing that the new team was almost ready, Vice President Peng said,"Now you two can talk.”
The new group had 5,000 people, and their equipment was one of the best among all the Chinese armies. They had also prepared so well this time, so their target was definitely a big fish.
Li Yunlong was silent for a moment before he smiled and said,""The weather is too cold. Many of our troops are short of food and clothing. This time, a Japanese military logistics team is transporting supplies to Pingan County. It would be inappropriate if we don't send some supplies to our troops.”
After hearing Li Yunlong's words, Division Commander Liu frowned and said,""We know that too, but it's not just a logistics regiment. There's also a Japanese infantry brigade guarding it. Can your new regiment take it all?”
"If you're not confident, I can call the 772nd Regiment nearby to provide support." Chen Geng said to Li Yun Long.”
Previously, Chen Geng had led his troops to attack the Japanese's logistics regiment. There were three regiments at that time, and the Japanese infantry had high combat strength. After the battle, the 386th Brigade suffered more casualties than the Japanese.
Moreover, they were on Zhengtai Road. If they could not end the battle quickly, the Japanese from the nearby counties would come to support them.
Therefore, everyone knew that the Japanese's supply troops were coming, but no one made any plans. It was not advisable to take chestnuts from the fire.
Was the new team confident that they could finish the battle within an hour?
Lu Yan was naturally aware of this. If it was in the past, the four main forces of the Eighth Route Army would not be able to take down the Japanese's supply troops.
Although the Japanese did not have any heavy weapons, their 4,000 men had sufficient ammunition and all kinds of light and heavy machine guns. Even if they were not frontline troops, they still had high combat effectiveness.
Moreover, there was also a Japanese infantry brigade protecting them. They were really a piece of iron.
Lu Yan did not feel any pressure. The new regiment could even take down the Japanese's ace infantry regiment, let alone an ambush.
Facing the Bureau Chief's worries, Lu Yan said confidently,""No problem. My original target was a Japanese infantry regiment, but the Japanese didn't show up. I had no choice but to find this supply unit.”
All the officers looked at each other helplessly.
Then, Vice President Peng said," We came here this time to check on the combat strength of the new regiment. We can indeed see more clearly if we have a tough battle.”
After hearing Lu Yan's words, Vice President Peng was confident. After all, this was the strongest main force of the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
When Vice President Peng spoke, the others did not say anything else.
Division Commander Liu and the others also understood. Perhaps they had underestimated the new regiment. Whether it was their equipment or the appearance of their soldiers, the new regiment had been completely changed.
The next step was to wait for the Japanese to walk right into the trap.
At this moment, it started snowing again. It didn't take long for the feather-like snow to cover the new camp.
However, none of the soldiers in the trenches moved.
Even though they were wearing warm combat uniforms, the cold weather was still a cruel test.
In the command center of the new regiment, Li Yunlong was a little worried. He took out the American automatic rifle from the snow outside and pulled the bolt to test the gun. After confirming that there was no problem, he said,
"After soaking in the snow for so long, there's still no problem. This gun is really good.”
