Chapter 158 Post-War Strategy
The smoke of battle gradually dissipated, leaving the woods thick with the scent of blood and gunpowder. Hu Shubao sat leaning against a tree, his face pale, one hand pressed against a wound on his shoulder that oozed blood. Military doctor Li Zhiyu, observing this, hurried over with a medical kit.
She squatted down and opened the medicine box, her eyes focused and calm. First, she took out a piece of clean gauze and gently pressed it on Hu Shubao's wound to stop the bleeding temporarily. Then, she carefully disinfected the wound with disinfectant. Although Hu Shubao grimaced in pain, he still endured it and didn't make a sound. While disinfecting, Li Zhiyu comforted him softly: "Bear with it, it will be fine soon." After the disinfection was completed, she skillfully picked up the needle and thread and began to suture the wound. The slender needle shuttled through her hands, and each stitch was precise and steady. After a while, the wound was sutured neatly. Finally, she bandaged the wound with a bandage and tied a firm knot. "Okay, be careful not to let the wound get wet in the next few days, and try to move your arm as little as possible." Li Zhiyu warned.
Lei Tao sat, slightly exhausted, leaning against a large tree, his gaze calmly observing the actions of the Military Control Commission's special operations team on the battlefield. He saw the team carefully finishing off the Japanese soldiers, ensuring they were completely dead. Then, they hurriedly and methodically cleaned up the battlefield, collecting usable weapons, ammunition, and other supplies.
Lei Tao raised his head slightly and asked loudly, "Did you enjoy this battle?" His voice echoed in the slightly quiet valley and woods after the war, with a hint of ridicule and emotion about the battle.
The Military Control Commission members all looked up at Lei Tao's question. Xu Guangming straightened up, wiped the sweat and blood from his face, and grinned, "Brother Phantom, this battle was so exciting! Thanks to your clever strategy of luring the enemy and the excellent terrain of this valley, the Japanese suffered a great loss. I finally let out some of my frustration!"
As Hu Shubao put the collected ammunition into the bag, he continued, "Yeah, it's been a while since I've had such a good fight with the Japs. Once this trap explodes, watching the Japs get blown to pieces, that feeling is so satisfying!"
The military commander stepped forward, dusted himself off, a look of relief in his eyes. "Brother Lei Tao, this time we really have everything thanks to you. If you hadn't taken the initiative to divert the Japanese troops and cleverly lured them into a trap, our battle wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Behind this thrill, you took a huge risk."
Lei Tao smiled, stood up, stretched, and then said with a serious expression: "Everyone has contributed, this is our common victory. However, the Japanese army will definitely not give up after suffering such a heavy loss. We must quickly discuss the next response plan and prepare for another battle. The battlefield is almost cleaned up, and we can't just leave it intact to the Japanese so easily. Xu Guangming, take a few brothers who are good at setting traps and plant more booby traps around here."
Xu Guangming immediately responded, "Okay, Brother Phantom, leave this job to me." After that, he called a few team members to start the action. They first gently moved the Japanese corpse and carefully dug a shallow pit in the ground below the corpse. They placed the booby trap in it and carefully adjusted the sensitivity of the detonator. Then they slowly covered the booby trap with fine soil until it was flush with the surrounding ground. Then they put the Japanese corpse back in place, making sure that the posture and state of the corpse looked natural and normal. On the passage where the Japanese army might come, they piled up some branches and leaves, hid the booby trap in it, and gently tied the branches and leaves with vines to prevent them from being blown away by the wind and exposed. After the arrangement was completed, they repeatedly checked the camouflage effect...
