Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The defensive preparations for Eagle Valley are in full swing.

The anti-aircraft machine gun positions on the valley peak have been completed.

The 40 PGR rocket launcher teams have also been formed.

This group of people, together with the ground patrol team, roam the mountains surrounding Eagle Valley every day...

The three outposts outside the valley have been withdrawn, but many hidden mobile sentry posts have been set up in inconspicuous woods and bushes along some important sections of the road.

These sentry posts are responsible for all the guard and early warning tasks within a 10-kilometer radius.

No matter what happens on the road into the mountains, it won't escape the eyes of these scouts...

It was 9 a.m. that day.

The sun had just climbed over the mountain ridge, illuminating the lush primeval forest with vibrant life.

About 10 kilometers from the valley entrance, along a stretch of mountain road, a flock of birds suddenly took flight from the woods beside the road...

On a high peak across the mountain road, near the summit, a young man dressed in a dark green camouflage military uniform covered with camouflage leaves was perched on a branch of an old locust tree.

Startled by the unusual sight of birds fluttering in the distance, he immediately raised his high-powered military binoculars and looked in that direction.

"Damn it, those bastards finally arrived!"

Through the telescope's lens, dozens of military green vehicles, light armored vehicles, and command vehicles with antennas were clearly visible...

On a simple bend in the mountain road, dozens of vehicles were visible. How many troops might be hidden in the unseen sections of the road behind?

This vanguard of the Kachin Independence Army should be no less than a reinforced regiment.

The man in camouflage observed carefully for a while, roughly estimating the vehicles and people in the distance, before putting down his binoculars.

He picked up the military communicator at his waist and dialed the dedicated channel for the forward command post:

"Command post, command post, this is mobile sentry number 1, this is mobile sentry number 1."

"This is the forward command post, please speak."

"A large number of military vehicles were spotted on section 7. It appears to include various types of transport vehicles, light armored vehicles, and command vehicles, totaling 120 vehicles, roughly equivalent to a reinforced regiment."

"Command post received. Have you identified which unit it is?"

"Judging from the uniforms and organizational structure, it can be basically confirmed that this is the Kachin Independence Army's mountain mixed regiment..."

"Understood, they've finally arrived! I'll report to headquarters immediately. Post No. 1, you continue to keep a close watch."

"Sentry post number 1, received!"

......

Within 10 minutes, the command post and the general headquarters received enemy situation warnings from three forward outposts.

The vanguard of the Kachin Independence Army has finally entered the mountains!

Eagle Valley, the wartime headquarters.

Lin Dong and the Kun brothers, Kun Sheng and Kun Feng, were standing next to the large sand table in the command center.

Kunfeng casually planted a small, dark blue triangular flag, representing a reinforced regiment, on the No. 7 section of the mountain road:

"Using a reinforced mixed mountain regiment as the vanguard, the Independent Army is really going all out this time. They think too highly of Kunzhai, don't they?"

"What's the big deal? Boss Lin predicted long ago that the enemy would be no less than a reinforced brigade in this battle."

Kun Sheng pursed his lips, took a deep drag on the cigar in his hand, and said:

"Boss Lin, isn't it time to put your plan that increases our chances of winning by 30% into practice?"

Lin Dong chuckled softly upon hearing this:

"What's the rush? It's only just begun. Let them try some appetizers first, hehe..."

"Commander Kun, have all the mountain guerrilla squads been dispatched?"

Kunfeng's expression turned serious, and he replied:

“They were dispatched the day before yesterday. As you instructed, three 10-man guerrilla squads were deployed within a 20-kilometer radius outside the valley.”

"In addition, nine temporary supply points have been set up in the mountains and forests, which should sustain the guerrilla squads' operations for at least four months..."

Lin Dong nodded approvingly and said meaningfully:

"Very well, let our mountain guerrilla squad have a showdown with the Kachin Army, who are best at mountain warfare!"

"Tell the squad leaders to focus on harassing enemy supply lines, small convoys, and artillery positions, and avoid direct confrontation with the enemy's main force..."

Kunfeng straightened his back and answered loudly:

"Understood, I will have them strictly follow through, prioritizing tactical harassment of the enemy!"

............................................

Western part of Ganxi Mountain, section of Mountain Road No. 6.

The long convoy of vehicles passed through the dense mountain forests.

From the moment they entered the mountains at 5 a.m., the Kachin Independence Army's First Mountain Mixed Regiment experienced firsthand how difficult this natural barrier was to traverse.

After turning into the mountains from the Wulu River Highway, the 2,000-person convoy only managed to travel 70 kilometers in 4 hours.

Fortunately, apart from the narrow mountain roads and slow driving, we did not encounter any resistance from Kunzhai along the way.

It seems that those uncivilized mountain people, facing the powerful independent army, knew they were futile and simply hid in Eagle Valley.

The leader of the first mixed regiment was 32-year-old Dubois.

At this moment, he was sitting in a command vehicle in the middle of the convoy, occasionally raising his binoculars to observe the mountains and forests on both sides.

The dense, lush forests on both sides of the mountain road appeared particularly eerie, with the occasional startled bird or small animal darting away among the trees...

He glanced at his watch and saw that the hour hand pointed to 9:17 a.m.

According to the markings on the military map, this place should be about 10 kilometers away from Eagle Valley, the nest of Kunzhai.
