A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

For several days in a row, I have been dealing with the affairs of the four major families, while the bandits seem to have disappeared without a trace these past few days, and it has been unusually quiet.

The team members who went to scout the area reported back that there wasn't much activity; they didn't seem to care much about going out.

Cheng Ying suspected that the last battle with them had frightened them, after all, the Japanese were not the same as bandits.

The Japanese devils were dedicated to plundering the entire country; their ambitions were vast. These bandits, on the other hand, only wanted to occupy a mountain stronghold. As long as they had people and food, they could be content with the status quo for the time being.

Cheng Ying thought to herself, even if they don't come out to cause trouble for the people now, that's only for now, and doesn't include the future when they don't come out to cause trouble for people.

Furthermore, they have always been a scourge on the region; these bandits are the tumors of the nation, and they must be removed.

Now that there are no more worries in the county town, the only thing left is to eliminate the bandits in the Dayue Mountains!

That day, Cheng Ying summoned Captain Xu, Regiment Commander Zhao, Yu Jianshe, and several other key figures to discuss the plan to attack Dayue Mountain.

Battalion Commander Xu said seriously, "From what I understand, the terrain of the Dayue Mountains is steep and easy to defend, but difficult to attack. If we launch a direct assault, I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy casualties!"

Cheng Ying frowned. She was well aware of this, but she already had a plan in mind.

"I've heard that the bandit leader is extremely greedy. We can use a shipment of goods that appears valuable but is actually concealed with traps as bait." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Commander Zhao said worriedly, "Captain Cheng, but the bandits are too numerous. We also need to gather a large number of soldiers to resist them. That would mean we're fighting a desperate battle."

Cheng Ying nodded slightly, her eyes firm, and said, "I've considered that too."

We don't need to concentrate all our forces for a frontal assault.

They could split into three groups, with one group pretending to be a prominent family in the county town, taking some supplies to attract the bandits' attention.

The second group sneaked in from the side path. Although the path was rugged, it was not easy to be noticed. They took advantage of the situation when the enemy was robbing the goods to launch a surprise attack from behind!

The third team lay in ambush at the foot of the mountain to prevent any escapees from fleeing down.

Upon hearing this plan, everyone's eyes showed admiration.

Yu Jianshe added, "Captain Cheng's plan is excellent, but the selection of commanders for these three routes must be carefully considered."

Cheng Ying glanced at everyone and said loudly, "Battalion Commander Xu is experienced and is most suitable to lead the first route; Captain Yu and I will be responsible for the second route to launch a surprise attack from the flank; Regiment Commander Zhao, you are cautious and will be responsible for the defense at the foot of the mountain."

Everyone agreed in unison and went back to prepare.

On the day of departure, everything proceeded according to plan.

Battalion Commander Xu led his troops, escorting five horse-drawn carts of supplies, steadily making their way along the road!

The supplies on these wagons looked very heavy. In fact, most of them were sand and stones in sacks, with only the top layer being real grain.

Soon, they arrived at the stone gate on the cliff and opened it as before. The stone gate led to the entrance of the valley where the bandits' den was located.

Upon arriving, they were stopped by more than a dozen bandits with guns. "Halt! What are you doing here?"

Battalion Commander Xu immediately stepped forward and said, "Brothers, we are from the Luo family in the county town. We've come to deliver some gifts to our boss. Please make an exception and let us in."

When these bandits heard that the gifts were for their leader, they were overjoyed and said, "The Luo family? I remember there is a Luo family in the county town. Alright, you just wait and see!"

Battalion Commander Xu, they came out after waiting for about ten minutes.

Moreover, the one who came out this time was their leader, who led a large group of people with him.

The chief's eyes lit up when he saw the convoy. Battalion Commander Xu smiled and said, "Chief, I've long admired your name. This is just a small token of my respect."

The leader laughed heartily and was about to order his men to receive the supplies when suddenly his eyes sharpened, and he shouted, "Something's not right! There's a trap here!"

He discovered that the wheel tracks were too deep, unlike the weight of grain.

Instantly, the atmosphere on both sides changed. In order to buy some time, Battalion Commander Xu said to them, "Boss, what do you mean by this? I kindly delivered supplies to you, which was tantamount to surrendering to you, and yet you treat us like this!"

The gang leader sneered, "Do you dare swear that none of those supplies were fake?"

The leader winked at one of the men to the side.

The man immediately stepped forward, pulled out a dagger, and slashed open the bags containing grain. At first, there were indeed some grains, but the next two bags were full of sand and gravel.

When the enemy went to inspect the grain, Battalion Commander Xu saw that things had come to this point and he had no choice but to start fighting. So he ordered his men to retreat quickly.
