The ambush ended with a clean and decisive annihilation of the enemy, a truly brilliant operation!
The gunfire ceased, and all the team members remained silent, awaiting Ning Zhiheng's orders. The unexpectedly smooth battle filled all the team members with a surge of pride!
Especially for the team members who had experienced the extremely fierce and brutal positional battle on the north bank of the Suzhou River a few days earlier, a sense of sadness welled up in their hearts. So many outstanding comrades and fellow soldiers had been killed by Japanese artillery fire before they even saw the enemy. The enemy only paid with a piece of shrapnel and a bullet. Their deaths were truly not worth it!
But now, they can easily slaughter these enemies. In fact, it has been proven that, measured solely by human factors, the elite of the Chinese army are no less capable than the Japanese. Without the advantage of aircraft and artillery, the Japanese army is no better than that when tactics are appropriate.
"Clean up the battlefield immediately! Collect weapons and ammunition! Take stock of the spoils!" Ning Zhiheng shouted the order.
The officers behind him acknowledged the order and each assigned their men to begin cleaning up the battlefield.
At that very moment, Sun Jiacheng, who was still waiting at the other end of the road, was ready for battle.
But the gunfire quickly stopped, and no enemies were found. This strange phenomenon puzzled everyone.
At this moment, an officer next to him said with doubt, "Captain Sun, is your unit's attack not going well? In that case, my company will go and provide support. We absolutely cannot let the Japanese get away!"
The officer in question was Yan Yuanzhou, the company commander who was escorting the supplies. He was leading the convoy when they were stopped halfway through the journey, which startled them as they thought the enemy had blocked their way in the middle of the night.
After asking around, he learned that the Japanese plainclothes police had been spotted ahead. Yan Yuanzhou felt a chill of fear in his heart. For some time now, the Japanese plainclothes police had been active everywhere and were very rampant in the Pudong area.
However, the troops stationed in Pudong were stationed along the Huangpu River. Facing the intense attacks from the Japanese, they were barely able to maintain their positions and were too busy taking care of themselves to deal with these special forces who could disguise themselves as Chinese at any time.
These plainclothes squads even dared to attack artillery positions, and the supply lines were repeatedly attacked, which seriously threatened the safety of the Chinese army.
To prevent the transport convoy from being attacked again, the command specially dispatched a company to escort the convoy. Yan Yuanzhou was cautious all the way and dared not slack off in the slightest. Unexpectedly, he actually encountered a plainclothes team. Fortunately, he was discovered by this special agent brigade.
At that moment, gunfire erupted from the high ground ahead. He immediately assembled his troops and rushed over to join the battle, but was stopped by Sun Jiacheng.
The team leader's strategic intentions were clear: if the attack did not go smoothly, he would not force it but would simply hold the enemy in place. There was no need for a desperate charge. He did not want Yan Yuanzhou to disrupt Ning Zhiheng's plans, so he waited for news from the team leader.
"Company Commander Yan, let's be patient and wait until we've scouted the situation before we act. Otherwise, in the dark, if you accidentally make contact with our men, it'll be a laughing stock!" Sun Jiacheng once again rejected Yan Yuanzhou's suggestion.
Then he turned to a team member and ordered, "Take two people and a guide and go to contact the team leader to ask about the battle situation and request instructions on our next steps."
"Yes!" Several team members, along with their guide Zhao Chunsheng, quickly left.
Sun Jiacheng waited anxiously by the roadside, but he knew that there shouldn't be any problems with the team leader. The team leader was going to set up an ambush, and at worst, the attack would not go smoothly, but they could keep the enemy at bay.
After a while, loud shouts came from the main road ahead.
"Captain, people are coming from ahead, they're ours!" One of the team members, with his sharp ears, quickly recognized the voice.
Sun Jiacheng was taken aback. This direction was from the ambush site. Could it be that the team leader had already dealt with the enemy and came directly to contact him? Impossible! The battle ended so easily?
Yan Yuanzhou, standing to the side, exclaimed incredulously, "What's going on? The battle up ahead is over? Plainclothes teams aren't that easy to defeat!"
Yan Yuanzhou naturally wouldn't believe it. Just in the middle of last month, the Japanese organized a large number of troops to forcibly land at Lujiagang, but were fiercely resisted by the Chinese defenders and were driven back.
However, at the critical moment, the Japanese plainclothes team, which was hiding in the warehouse on the side of the defending army, suddenly launched an attack, which immediately disrupted the formation of the Chinese army. The Chinese army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
Yan Yuanzhou was on the battlefield at the time. The plainclothes squad attacked swiftly and with accurate marksmanship, inflicting heavy losses on the Chinese army in a short period of time.
As a result, the Japanese army took the opportunity to launch another forced landing, almost succeeding in landing the Japanese. Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived in time, and at a great cost, they drove the enemy back down the Huangpu River. Even so, the plainclothes team did not suffer many losses, and withdrew back to the warship with the Japanese army. Their performance was indeed outstanding.
This scene left a deep impression on Yan Yuanzhou, who was present at the time, so he was quite nervous when he heard that it was a plainclothes team lying in ambush.
Just as they were making their own guesses, the team member arrived in front of Sun Jiacheng and saluted him.
"Captain Sun, we have wiped out the entire plainclothes team. The battalion commander has ordered you to hurry over and regroup to clean up the battlefield."
The team member's words startled everyone. Sun Jiacheng quickly asked, "Is the battle over? That went so smoothly?"
Unable to conceal his arrogance, the team member replied loudly, "They've all been annihilated, not a single one left. The Japanese are nothing special."
