The sniper team of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade led by Han Er quickly arrived at the village outside Dangyang City and joined Sun Liangcheng and others who had arrived earlier.
At this time, the intelligence agency's informant lurking in Dangyang City also sent back the news, which confirmed that the Japanese's baggage troops would escort this batch of gold to Wuhan by road.
The person in charge of military command, the person in charge of the intelligence department, and the squadron leader of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade, Sun Liangcheng, got together to discuss the division of labor for specific tasks.
The officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade commanded by Sun Liangcheng will cooperate with the Qing intelligence department and be responsible for attacking halfway, destroying the Japanese's baggage troops, seizing the gold and transporting it away.
The military command, on the other hand, sent agents to attack the headquarters of the Japs' 18th Brigade in Dangyang, creating chaos, attracting the Japs' attention, and providing cover for the actions of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade.
After a detailed discussion, Sun Liangcheng soon led the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade, led by intelligence personnel, to the predetermined area to ambush.
The military command was preparing in Dangyang City, preparing to launch attacks on many important strongholds and assassinate important figures that day, thereby paralyzing the Japs' command system and covering the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade who successfully recaptured the gold and transported it.
Go to a safe location.
The ambush site chosen by Sun Liangcheng and others was in a sparsely populated highway section. The officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade were already familiar with the road. The sniper team seized the commanding heights, and the officers and soldiers responsible for the assault were responsible for lurking in the grass beside the road.
Then attack at close range.
General Sun Liangcheng divided the eight Lieyan special operations brigades under his command into three parts. One part is responsible for assault, one part is a reserve team, and the other part is responsible for blocking possible Japanese reinforcements.
Although when they were planning, there would be military agents responsible for sabotaging the roads everywhere and the Japanese reinforcements would not arrive so soon, Sun Liangcheng did not dare to be careless and still made complete preparations.
People from the intelligence department who were familiar with the local terrain took Sun Liangcheng and others to preset a retreat route, contacted the manpower, and quickly transported the intercepted items away after the operation was successful.
Everything was prepared, and the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade hid in disguise and began their long wait.
Perhaps the little devil had a guilty conscience. Although he would disguise the gold as ordinary cargo and transport it back to Wuhan, he was worried that the news of transporting gold would be leaked, so he sent people along the highway to check the road conditions one day in advance.
The Japanese soldiers driving tricycles walked slowly along the road. When they encountered places with difficult terrain, they would stop and check to make sure there was no trace of guerrilla activities.
After all, guerrillas like to set up ambushes in dangerous places, and little devils dare not be careless in the slightest.
However, the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade is well equipped with weapons and equipment, and many officers and soldiers are equipped with Soviet submachine guns, so they lie in ambush in the fields beside the highway, preparing for a close assault when the time comes.
The officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade were well camouflaged and almost blended in with the surrounding environment. The Japanese's three-wheeled motorcycle drove back and forth on the road several times without finding any abnormalities.
It was slowly getting dark. After confirming that there was no danger along the way, the patrolling Japanese motorcycle team returned to Dangyang City and reported to Xuan Dao Gao, the commander of the 18th Mixed Brigade.
Under the cover of night, the lurking demolition soldiers of the Flame Special Operations Brigade also took action. They dug pits on the preset roads and buried explosive packages mixed with iron nails and marbles in the middle of the road.
, pressure-fired infantry mines were also laid on some roadsides.
The demolition soldiers of the Flame Special Warfare Brigade are already familiar with these things, and they are well disguised. Unless the little devils come up and look carefully, they will not be able to detect them at all.
After everything was prepared, the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade returned to their hiding place and waited for the arrival of the little Japs.
At around eight o'clock the next morning, an informant from the intelligence department sent back the news from inside the city that the Japanese had already started loading goods and asked the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade to prepare.
The officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade ate dry food in the lurking fields. At 11 o'clock in the morning, smoke and dust were rising on the road, and finally they saw a long convoy of Japanese soldiers approaching from a distance.
"Get ready for battle!"
Seeing that the Japanese convoy was really coming, Commander Sun Liangcheng ordered the officers and soldiers to prepare for battle and take action once the Japanese convoy entered the blasting zone.
Every officer and soldier looked calm, without any panic. In their opinion, this was just a simple mission.
But they didn't know that there was something going on in the intelligence department.
Watching the Japanese convoy approaching, an intelligence officer said: "Sir, I want to pee..."
"Why are you so busy?" At this juncture, someone actually wanted to go for convenience, and the person in charge of the intelligence department frowned.
"I can't hold it in any longer..."
"Go ahead and don't make any noise."
"yes."
After the intelligence officer responded, he ducked and ran towards the back, but it was not for convenience. The intelligence officers were staring at the road and did not notice anything unusual about this person at all.
After the intelligence officer who left the team without permission made sure that no one had noticed him, he put a bullet into his pistol and turned on the safety, then slowly climbed to a gentle slope not far from the road and hid behind it.
A long convoy of Japanese convoys drove slowly along the highway. Just when a military vehicle covered with cloth at the head of the Japanese army was about to enter the minefield, the intelligence officer fired a shot in the direction of the highway.
"boom!"
The dull gunshot broke the silence of the wilderness. Everyone looked in the direction of the gunshot, and the Japanese military vehicle subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
"what happened?!"
Sun Liangcheng, leader of the Lieyan Special Warfare Squadron, looked at the direction of the gunfire, and his expression immediately changed.
"It should be that the intelligence officer's gun went off." The deputy squadron leader guessed with a solemn expression.
The sudden sound of gunfire caught everyone off guard. Seeing the Japanese convoy stopped, and Japanese soldiers starting to jump out of the car, everyone didn't know what to do.
According to the normal procedure, we should wait for the explosion to start before launching the attack, but now the Japanese convoy has not entered the minefield.
"Sir, what should we do?" the deputy squadron leader asked Sun Liangcheng.
Sun Liangcheng knew that they were in a dilemma. If they retreated now, they would definitely not be able to leave because they were too close to the highway, so they could only attack by force.
"Send the signal and attack!" Sun Liangcheng gritted his teeth and said.
"yes!"
Soon, a red signal flare flew into the sky, and the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade took action immediately after seeing the signal flare.
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
The first ones to fire were the snipers. They fired calmly. The Japanese machine gunners who were supposed to be turning their machine guns on the roof of the car had bloody holes in their heads and immediately fell from the car.
