Chapter 16: Ambush the Train Company

Ambush the baggage company

Because Li Guosheng's entire company had only more than fifty people, and with Sun Chuanfang's military uniform and equipment, more importantly, the confident warlords could not believe that the Northern Expedition Army would send less than a company of troops to their rear to die.

So, under the command of Li Guosheng, the entire sneak attacking force almost walked into the rear of Sun Chuanfang's defense line...

A day passed in a blink of an eye. The company deep in the rear of the enemy army did not directly pounce on its attack target as others imagined. Then, ambushed in a small wood less than two roads from Longtan Railway Station, staring at the road leading to the railway station on the front line...

"Company Commander, when will we start to act? Brothers are a little impatient to wait..." Li Guanghua carefully walked to Li Guosheng with a solemn expression and asked.

"Action... Lao Li, what do you think if we act now, what is the chance of success... You should know that according to the captive's explanation, Sun Chuanfang deployed two guard regiments around his command center..." Li Guosheng did not answer and asked directly.

"Company Commander, then I'll tell the truth. I almost never hope for our operation... So, along the way, I wanted to know why you took on this mission. Is it really just for the position of the battalion commander of the first battalion..." Li Guanghua replied with a frustrated look on his face. Immediately afterwards, his eyes only stared at Li Guohua in front of him, waiting for Li Guohua's explanation.

"Haha, don't worry, the mountain man has his own tricks. I will never push dozens of brothers under my hands into the fire pit..." A cunning smile flashed quickly across the corner of Li Guosheng's mouth and answered confidently.

Because, on the way back to the garrison from the division headquarters, Li Guosheng thought of the specific plan for this sneak attack on Sun Chuanfang's command center with various special tactics in his mind.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the division commander Hu Zongnan did not deceive himself. The Northern Expedition Army launched a fierce attack on the various troops of warlord Sun Chuanfang at the scheduled time. The entire Longtan decisive battle was officially launched.

Some people say that the key to fighting is the quality of soldiers, while others say that the key to a battle is the quality of weapons. However, in Li Guosheng's words, one thing that is indispensable to fighting is ammunition.

A major battle, especially the decisive battle in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, is not something that ordinary people can imagine. Even the troops commanded by Sun Chuanfang have already reserved a large amount of ammunition before the war.

Because of the decisive battle, both sides of the enemy and us were full of strength, and their respective strong fortifications. The Northern Expedition Army did not gain much advantage in the attack of one day.

Although the fight continued, the entire Longtan Railway Station was still shrouded in the violent sound of gunfire. However, the tired enemy and us, because of the arrival of darkness, began to accumulate strength and prepare for tomorrow's battle. As for the bullets, shells, and grenades that were coming and going on the battlefield, they were just a confrontation between small-scale troops of the enemy and us.

The day's battlefield confrontation ended. When the tired Sun Chuanfang was about to go back to the bedroom to rest, the adjutant of the staff rushed in panting and reported loudly.

"Master, it's not good, something happened... Commander Wang of the Eighth Division expedited the telegram..."

"Bastard, I'm not dead yet, panic, Cheng He Taitong... Say, what happened to Commander Wang?" After glaring at the adjutant in front of him, Sun Chuanfang sat back on his seat, frowned and said.

"Teacher Wang reported: In a gunshot just now by the Northern Expedition Army, the ammunition depot that stored almost all the ammunition supplies of the Eighth Division was hit, and all the ammunition was destroyed... So far, the remaining ammunition of the Eighth Division was only enough to maintain a battle of less than five hours. Title Wang asked the headquarters to send him the ammunition supplies immediately..." The adjutant reported.

"Mom, this old Wang is still so careless... Adjutant Wang, immediately send an order to the Logistics Department to transport ammunition to the Eighth Division, be sure to get it quickly..." After hearing this bad news before going to bed, Sun Chuanfang's bad mood was obvious. He waved his hand impatiently and ordered...

"Yes, the Grand Commander... However, because our army is in short supply, except for a guard battalion, the remaining personnel of the Logistics Department have been replenished to various combat troops... Bei Zhi is worried that the Logistics Department will not withdraw any extra troops to transport ammunition... Look, should you ask Commander Wang to send someone to collect ammunition directly..." the adjutant reminded.

"Well, you're right... Send a telegram to Lao Wang and ask him to send someone to the command center to collect ammunition. In addition, inform the guard and logistics forces around the station that I must unconditionally release the supplies of the Eighth Division to collect ammunition. Now the entire decisive battle has reached a critical moment of life and death, and there must be no accidents due to ammunition supply..." Sun Chuanfang ordered with a cautious look on his face.

"Yes, Grandmaster, I'll do it right away..."

Under the dark night, although the sound of gunfire around him continued to reach the ears of Li Guosheng and others. However, after a daytime rest, Li Guosheng was not affected by any outside world. Holding the telescope that was blackmailed from Du Yuming, staring motionlessly at a quiet road...

"Battery Commander, will the enemy come?"

Li Guosheng smiled unanimously about Li Guanghua's concerns around him. Then, he replied with certainty: "Don't worry, after a day of high-intensity combat, there will definitely be troops running out of ammunition. As long as they send out the baggage troops, they will be the fat we have to our mouths..."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Huxiao (that is, Li Guosheng's former personal guard Xiao Huzi), who had gone out to investigate, walked over panting and reported in a low voice.

"Company Commander, you're too accurate... The enemy's baggage company, about eighty people, was driving thirty carriages and quickly drove towards our ambush circle. If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy will enter our pocket array at the latest ten minutes..."

"Okay, you've done a good job. Take your people down to rest first and be ready to participate in the battle at any time... Platoon Commander Wang, Platoon Commander Li, and Platoon Commander Yu, order the troops to prepare for the battle immediately. The enemy is only a baggage unit of more than 80 people. We must resolve the battle within one minute, otherwise, it will definitely attract the attention of the enemy in the station... Are you all clear?" Li Guosheng ordered decisively.

The reason why Li Shengguo dared to ambush less than two kilometers away from Sun Chuanfang's command was that he relied on the combat effectiveness of his own company.

Although more than fifty people only had less than two days of training in Wenxingzhuang. However, during these two days of training, each of them fired at least twenty bullets of training. In addition, most of the soldiers under his command were veterans who had joined the army for more than one year. Although dozens of subordinates in the entire company could not be called sharpshooters, a fixed target within one hundred meters was still hit every shot.

Li Shengguo believed that as long as the entire ambush lasted less than a minute, and the use of light machine guns and other weapons was not used. Even if the enemy stationed at the railway station heard the gunshots, he would use him as a weapon to fire. He would never have thought that there would be such a big enemy hidden less than two kilometers away from him.

In addition, because it was dark, he was in the rear of the enemy's great power. The enemy's company's baggage unit would never have thought that it would be attacked less than two kilometers away from the headquarters. In order to ensure the suddenness of the battle and the quick decision, Li Guosheng directly ordered his subordinates less than sixty people to ambush twenty or thirty meters away from the highway...

Dozens of people, under the order of Li Guosheng, were just ready for battle when the figure of the enemy's baggage company appeared in front of everyone.

More than eighty enemies, who were leading horses, chatting, sleeping in a big cart, without any alertness, walked straight into the ambush circle he had carefully prepared...

"**, I'm just here to die..." Seeing this, Li Guosheng couldn't help but burst out a common phrase from modern people. Then, he raised the twenty-sounding shell gun in his hand and pulled the trigger at the dozen soldiers walking in front...

"Dadadada...bangbang..." The sparse gunfire sounds did not look like a look on the Longtan battlefield where gunfires were constantly sounding. However, these dozens of bullets harvested at least forty lives in the enemy's baggage company in just a blink of an eye.

On the road, the stunned enemy had just reacted from shock and was about to raise his gun to fight back, the second round of bullets shot in succession had already hit him.

More than 50 elite soldiers who were specially trained by special combat elite Li Guosheng, faced with ordinary baggage troops with almost no combat effectiveness. The result was self-evident... After the second round of gunfire, there were less than twenty people who could stand on the entire road.

Before everyone could shoot the third round of bullets, the remaining dozen enemies had already knelt on the ground and raised the rifle high above their heads to indicate surrender...

"Damn it, this is too unpredictable. My machine gun has not even been fired, and the battle is over..." Looking at the dozen or so lonely soldiers on the road, Wang Guoli, who was responsible for manipulating the machine gun, muttered with a depressed look on his face.

However, before he finished speaking, he attracted Li Guosheng's curse: "Why are you still standing there? You haven't caught the prisoners... In addition, I interrogated all these prisoners separately to determine their identities. Then, the baggage squad stayed, found a secret place in the woods, dug a big hole for me, digging as big as I could, I would be useful."

"Ah...digging a hole...Company Commander, you want..." Li Guanghua pointed to the trembling prisoners on the road, and asked in disbelief...

"Don't worry, I'm not that cruel yet... These pits are not used to bury people, but to hide ammunition..." Li Guanghua said with a mysterious look on his face...
