“Why didn’t I see them?” An Zhiyuan would inspect the various posts every night.
The distances between the mountains were too great.
The areas where the team mbers were stationed were also divided into several parts.
“They’re afraid of exposing themselves, appearing and disappearing intermittently, but I’m certain there’s an ambush there.”
“It’s good that you’re sure. Since they’ve co at this ti, I’m worried they’ll run into our transporters or dics. Everyone, pay attention. It must be a retaliation for their failed spy incident last ti. This ti, without the cover of artillery, they’re directly sending people for a sneak attack. Let’s gather everyone and trap them like beating a dog in a pen.”
One minute later, all the n here had assembled, and everyone checked their weapons and ammunition and reported to the captain via walkie-talkie.
They had already analyzed the enemy situation. To the east were cliffs that were simply unscalable. The enemy had suffered a serious setback there last ti, and when they tried to sneak up from the sa place several tis, they had fallen into our trap, as our n had figured out their pattern. They probably thought that the main force would be concentrated there, so this ti they changed their direction.
If their analysis hadn’t been mistaken, this ti the enemy’s target would be the high ground in front. Should they manage to take it, it would cause us serious casualties.
An Zhiyuan instructed Major Jian Dahai through the walkie-talkie; they were stationed there.
They must hold it at all costs.
Soon, the enemy really did creep up.
Just as they neared the summit, Jian Dahai ordered his n to open fire.
Before they could open fire, sounds unexpectedly arose from the enemy’s rear.
Jian Dahai excitedly smacked his thigh.
“Open fire imdiately! That’s definitely our transport team. Let’s encircle them,” he said.
Caught in a crossfire, the n imdiately started to scatter and flee.
The attacking enemies, numbering over sixty, were heavily decimated under the crossfire.
Most were killed, and only a few used the terrain and the cover of night to escape back to their positions.
Jian Dahai’s group quickly brought up the transport team because they had caught the enemy off guard; fortunately, neither side had casualties, marking it as a victorious counterattack.
After such turmoil, dawn was already breaking, and it was absolutely impossible for the transporters and dics to carry the wounded down the mountain.
Especially after last night’s counterattack, which inflicted heavy casualties on them, it was uncertain what sort of retaliation they would bring in the daylight.
As daybreak began, the surrounding gunfire started.
Clearly, failing in their sneak attack, they now shifted to a forceful assault, bombarding the mountaintop with artillery shells, raining down like droplets.
An Zhiyuan knew. Usually, such artillery cover was preparation for their forceful onslaught.
Indeed, as the explosions sounded, the enemy personnel started charging uphill with loud shouts; our comrades began fire suppression and finally repelled the enemy’s first wave of attack.
Bai Xiao and Liu Yun had already been moved to the Karst Cave, and the wounded had also been arranged inside, which helped minimize casualties.
Hu Biao, the captain of the transport team, had long been fighting alongside Jian Dahai and his n.
When it was fully light, the second round of forceful attack began.
This ti, the enemy’s artillery was fiercer, making them barely able to lift their heads, and the enemy threw explosives recklessly; although many team mbers bravely threw back the explosives, inevitably one or two would explode among them.
The second round of attacks was also repelled.
