Chapter 120: Details Decide Victory Or Defeat

  Hu San put the walkie-talkie on the ground beside him, he had already fallen asleep.

  Dong Li Mao had just closed his eyes when he heard the crackling of the walkie-talkie. He turned over, opened the transmitter and heard Liu Yu-zhong's voice calling out: "This is Hunting Dog... This is Hunting Dog... Mountain Eagle, please respond... Mountain Eagle, please respond..."

  This is the internal wireless call slang of the Special Operations Unit. Liu Yuzhen's codename is Hunting Dog, and Dong Li Mao's codename is Mountain Eagle.

  "I am Mountain Eagle...... I am Mountain Eagle......" Dong Limao had instructed that, unless it was an emergency, they should not use the walkie-talkies for ordinary conversations. At this moment, Liu Yuzhong's call must be about some new situation, and Dong Limao did not dare to be careless.

  "Mountain eagle...... Mountain eagle...... Prey advances into the mountain...... Prey advances into the mountain......"

  "Mountain eagle understands... Mountain eagle understands... Hunting dog continues to bite the prey... Hunting dog continues to bite the prey..." Dong Limao hung up the phone and saw that Hu San had woken up.

  "Little Huzi, the wolf pack is on the move. It seems we need to make early preparations for battle. Go notify our brothers at each ambush point, wake them up and get them ready to fight at any moment!" Dong Li Mao's brow was furrowed tightly, this was an unexpected situation he had never thought of. Hand-to-hand combat in broad daylight would be extremely risky. The enemy could clearly see how many people were attacking them, and if they discovered that the special forces unit didn't have as many men as they did, it would inadvertently boost their morale. On the other hand, if his own side realized the enemy had more men, they would harbor fear in their hearts, which would weaken their combat strength.

  Hu Sang was about to leave when Dong Li Mao called him back again.

  "Little Hu, wait a minute." Dong Li Mao felt that the night attack method could no longer be used. He fell silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind: "Tell your brothers that after the charge is sounded, first use the prone position to sweep the enemy with gunfire. Absolutely do not stand up, lest you be mistakenly injured by your own brothers. Each person can only fire one clip, just one clip! Then throw a hand grenade into the enemy crowd, remember, only throw one, don't throw it into the bushes on the other side of the road! Wait for the explosion to end, and everyone will rush towards the enemy from the bushes. When the devils are stunned and confused, before the smoke clears, is the best time to kill them... You must convey my words to every person's ear. Do you understand?"

  Hu San saw from Dong Li Mao Ning's serious expression how severe the problem was. He nodded vigorously in response: "Understood!"

  "Repeat it!" Dong Li Mao still had some doubts.

  Then Hu San repeated what Dong Li Mao had just said, people who are illiterate often have better memory than ordinary people, which is also an advantage. Hu San almost recited word for word what Dong Li Mao had just said.

  "Alright, go!" Dong Li Mao patted Hu San's back and said.

  Dong Li Mao estimated the time, and Song Xiaoguang's group should arrive in about two hours. He picked up his binoculars and looked towards the sniping squad led by Wang Jia Gui on both sides of the trees. What he saw made him jump with fright - he could clearly see the position of each sniper through the binoculars. Since he could see it, Song Xiaoguang's advance scouting party would also be able to see it. He then moved his binoculars towards a machine gun squad blocking the road ahead and was able to clearly see their machine gun muzzle.

  The ambush originally set up was using the night as cover, and these concealed positions were originally invisible. However, with the change in enemy situation, Matsushita Nagayoshi's dare-to-die corps will be passing through here in broad daylight, which means that these concealed positions have lost their concealment significance.

  Dong Li Mao was shocked, fortunately there was still time, he ran out from the bush and rushed towards the big tree where Wang Jia Gui was hiding.

  Wang Jiagui didn't sleep, he was observing the surroundings with the scope on his rifle. He saw Dong Limao running towards him and knew something must have happened, otherwise Lianzhang wouldn't look for him at this time. So he quickly came down from the tree.

  "Second, the devils will arrive in about two hours. Tell the brothers in the sniper squad to first come down from the trees and find a position where the devils' forward scout can't see them with binoculars. Hide well until the charge bugle sounds, then climb back up." Dong Li Mao ran over to Wang Jia Gui's side and squatted down saying.

  "Understood!" Wang Jiagui turned around and ran off to inform others.

  "Two clauses!" Dong Li Mao suddenly remembered something and called out to Wang Jia Gui.

  "Commander, are there any further orders?" Wang Jiagui said to Dong Li Mao after failing to rescue the nurses.

  "After the battle starts, take aim at those leaders for me, but don't kill them, I want them alive!" Dong Li Mao wanted to capture Song Xiaolonggui alive, but he didn't know what he looked like, so he could only spare those who seemed to be officials and leave them as live prisoners.

  "They are all in casual wear, how can I tell who is the leader?" Wang Jiagui asked.

  "As long as you yell at others, point fingers and make gestures, and are surrounded by others for protection, you'd better stay alive!"

  "Alright! I'll let the brothers break their legs and hands!" Wang Jiagui nodded in response.

  Dong Li Mao ran again to the position where a machine gun squad was ambushing at the exit of the small road, and said to the sergeant in charge of blocking the entrance:

  "The situation has changed, in less than two hours, the little devils will probably arrive. You can't expose your hiding position, they have binoculars. Before the charge is sounded, you must not show your body and guns. If there are Japanese vanguard troops, don't stop them either, let them pass first, let them think everything is peaceful here. When the battle starts, the vanguard troops that passed by will probably come back to rescue, at that time, you can wipe them out. This is very important! If you can't wipe out the Japanese vanguard troops that turned back, it will bring great trouble to other brothers, because when they turn back, they may have guns in their hands... Do you understand?"

  "Understood!" The class monitor replied.

  "Now you all go to the woods on both sides and hide, keep a distance from the road, it's best to crawl in the bushes, never expose your body and guns!" Dong Li Mao reminded again that if they were discovered by the Japanese army's vanguard scouts, all their previous efforts would be wasted, and this ambush would become a difficult counterattack.

  Dong Li Mao ran back to his hiding spot, behind the forest where Jian Lan Xiang and the others were. He was a bit worried about them, so he ran over and saw that Pan Guang Zu was already fast asleep.

  "Fatty, wake up...!" Dong Li Mao shook Pan Guang Zu.

  Pan Guangzu seemed to have been frightened and hadn't opened his eyes yet. He suddenly sat up, stretched out his hand to grab the submachine gun beside him.

  "Fatty! Don't be nervous, it's me!" Dong Li Mao said with a smile, holding down Pan Guang Zu's hand.

  Dong Li Mao briefed the four men on the general situation, telling them to crouch in the bushes before the battle started and asking Liu Xingyu to remove his glasses to avoid any glare being detected by the Japanese scouting party.

  "Remember my words, no matter how intense the battle ahead is, you must hold your ground here, unless the devils are running towards you, don't fire a shot." Dong Li Mao was very worried about these four people with relatively weak combat strength. After all, they were facing the most elite troops of the Japanese army, not ordinary soldiers. He learned from Li Yuanyuan that these people were so-called "dead warriors", who not only had excellent martial arts skills but also were all fugitives. As long as one devil ran towards them, they could take down the four of them with their bare hands.

  Dong Li Mao thought through all the possible ways to expose their target again, and then returned to his ambush position. He used binoculars to scan around once more, but didn't see any signs that they would be discovered by the Japanese army. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, Liu Yu Zhen had reported the changes in enemy movements in time. If not, the special forces might not only have failed to eliminate the Wild Wolf Dare-to-Die Corps, but also risked being wiped out themselves.

  Just a few minutes after Hu San returned to Dong Li Mao's side, covered in sweat, the dozen or so scouts sent out by Matsushita Chokai appeared, riding several mules.
