Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Zhang Zizai came and left quickly. After informing Lin Qiang of the information, he rode away on horseback and returned to the county town.

After he left, Zhang Yuntian said with a hint of request: "Platoon leader, how about we take Zizai back after this matter is over?"

Even if Okamoto didn't die on the battlefield this time, he would commit seppuku to apologize when he returned to the county town. He would die anyway.

Unless there are hundreds of Japanese prisoners brought to the battlefield and disguised as a row of soldiers, killing so many people will give Okamoto an explanation when he returns.

"Let's talk about it after this is over."

Lin Qiang didn't care about withdrawing Zhang Zizai, but keeping him in the county as an undercover agent would be more effective than withdrawing him to the base.

However, after this incident, Zhang Zizai's situation might be a little dangerous. After all, he was the one who provided the intelligence, and he would be the first one to be held accountable if anything went wrong.

If we are not careful, this may be the last time we meet.

After thinking it over carefully, Lin Qiang said, "Have the sentries stop him and tell him to take advantage of this opportunity of the Japanese attacking the base to evacuate the county with his troops and return to the base."

"Yes!"

A flash of joy flashed across Zhang Yuntian's face, and although he hid it well, it was still caught by Lin Qiang.

"Monk!"

When Monk Wei heard the shout, he immediately broke away from the training team and ran to Lin Qiang, sweating profusely: "Platoon leader, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Go inform Xu Lang and the others to gather in the conference room in half an hour!"

"Yes!"

The meeting room that Lin Qiang mentioned is actually the house where he lives now.

This wooden house is not only his residence, but also a row of meeting rooms and a combat command center.

Half an hour later, all six captains arrived, making Lin Qiang's room seem a little crowded.

Lin Qiang looked at everyone and said, "We just received news from the county that the Japanese will attack our base as early as tomorrow. Let's see where to choose the most suitable place for the battle."

Every battle with the Japanese must not affect the base area. The battlefield must be opened up outside the base area to ensure that the base area will not be affected.

"Platoon leader, let's just fight the Japs in Xiaowangzhuang."

Qiangzi was the first to speak: "If the Japanese want to attack us, they must pass through Xiaowangzhuang. If we ambush here, we will definitely catch them off guard."

Xiaowangzhuang is indeed the only way for the Japanese to pass, but the terrain is open and not suitable for ambushes. Moreover, once the Japanese spread out their troops, it would be difficult to end the battle in a short period of time.

Lin Qiang rejected Qiangzi's proposal by shaking his head.

"Look, there's a forest just outside of Xiaowangzhuang. How about we choose this as our ambush point?"

Hearing Lin Qiang's words, everyone looked towards the place he pointed.

Zhang Yuntian was the first to look up and said, "I think it's okay. This place is quite far from our base and the county town. Although we can't resolve the battle quickly, we can still finish it before the Japanese reinforcements arrive, and it will also be convenient for us to carry heavy weapons."

Xu Lang added, "Platoon Leader, don't we still have a lot of explosives? I suggest we bury some in Xiaowang Village as a little appetizer for the Japanese, and then bury some more at the ambush location."

Several captains continued to supplement their plans, and after some sorting, Lin Qiang had a complete battle plan.

……

three days later.

"Hu Zi, do you think the platoon leader's intelligence is false?"

Qiangzi scratched his arm and muttered, "Brothers, we've been in this damn place for three days. We haven't seen a single devil, but we have killed a lot of mosquitoes!"

"Qiangzi, if you have the guts, go talk to the platoon leader. Why are you complaining to me?"

Hu Zi doesn't tolerate him. His ears are callused from hearing him say this for the past three days. He says this at least three or four times a day.

The intelligence was definitely accurate, but Zhang Zizai didn't know when Okamoto was going to bring the devils with him, and Lin Qiang didn't know either. The only way was to make sufficient preparations and wait for the devils to appear.

"Captain, the explosives are fine!"

This was the seventh time Xu Lang sent someone to check the explosives to ensure that there would be no problems.

This time he finally had the opportunity to show his ability, and he absolutely would not allow any mistakes to happen, otherwise he would be unworthy of Lin Qiang's trust in him.

"Everything is ready, the devils are coming!"

Lin Qiang received the news from the front through the radio and immediately told the team ambushing in the woods.

This time's battle plan is almost the same as what Xu Lang said. If you want to resolve the battle quickly, you have to consume the Japanese before the actual war starts.

Not only were there explosives buried in Xiaowangzhuang, but there were also special forces armed with assault rifles waiting for them.

The special forces' mission is to detonate the bomb and then launch a surprise attack while the Japanese are in chaos. Once the Japanese organize their troops, they will retreat without hesitation and avoid excessive entanglement with them.

The direction of retreat is naturally the ambush site.

When the Japanese come to their senses, they will definitely carefully remove the explosives, but they will not gain anything.

Once they leave Xiaowangzhuang, the Japanese will definitely relax their vigilance. When they enter the ambush site, there will be more than just explosives and special forces waiting for them.

Instead, it was a row of thousands of people, with rifles, submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns firing at the same time. No matter how well-trained the Japanese were, they could not resist in time under such a powerful ambush.

It’s not that Lin Qiang only knows how to fight ambushes, but that ambushes have the greatest benefits. While avoiding casualties as much as possible, he can also do his best to kill the Japanese.

And since we had received intelligence in advance, why did we still have to fight the Japanese head-on?

As long as it can kill the devils, any method is a good method.

What is called war is the art of deception.

As the team was getting ready, several huge explosions were heard from the direction of Xiaowangzhuang, followed by dense and rapid gunfire.

"Duan Peng has already gotten into a fight with the Japs!"

Qiangzi narrowed his eyes and said, "The devils are really here!"

Now Qiangzi no longer doubted the accuracy of the intelligence. The battle was approaching, and not only him, but all the soldiers became excited.

Training day and night and constantly seizing the best equipment were all for the purpose of killing more Japanese devils on the battlefield.

After waiting for so long, from the initial passion to the disappointment before the explosion, and then to the impatience at this moment, the soldiers' moods fluctuated like the sound of the explosions.

The gunfire only lasted for a few minutes, and soon the special forces team appeared at the original location.

Duan Peng immediately found Lin Qiang and said sternly, "Platoon Leader, we've been fooled!"
