Chapter 213 Ambush Behind Enemy Lines

Step by step

The team continued to move forward. The mountain air was damp, cold, and heavy. Everyone held their breath, afraid to make any sound. Cheng Yuwei followed closely behind Li Deshui, carefully stepping on the soft soil to avoid touching the dry branches.

"Sister-in-law, hold on a little longer. The enemy's supply point is ahead." Li Deshui said in a low voice with a hint of encouragement in his tone.

Cheng Yuwei nodded and forced herself to calm down. She knew that the next move would determine the success or failure of this battle.

Reconnaissance of supply points

The small team hid behind a bush, observing the enemy's movements. The supply point was right in front of them. A dozen tents were scattered across the open area, several wagons loaded with supplies were parked in the center, and soldiers were patrolling the perimeter.

"Sister-in-law, did you see that carriage in the middle? It might be loaded with their ammunition," Li Deshui whispered. "Our plan is to detonate that carriage, but we must approach quietly and not alert the patrolling soldiers."

Cheng Yuwei frowned as she watched the enemy's deployment. She noticed that the patrolling soldiers' movements were irregular, but they were still very cautious. She pondered this in her mind and whispered, "I have a plan."

"Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive!" Li Deshui hurriedly stopped her.

Cheng Yuwei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. I mean, use smoke as cover. It's very humid here, and we can use chemical reactions to create white smoke, which can both cover our movements and confuse the enemy."

"Will this... work?" Li Deshui was a little hesitant, but Cheng Yuwei's confidence made him feel that this plan might be feasible.

The power of chemistry

Cheng Yuwei quickly pulled some medicine from her first aid kit, mixed it, and placed it in a metal can. She explained, "When we throw it, it will break when it hits a hard surface, generating a large amount of white smoke. The smoke will last for a maximum of five minutes, so we need to hurry."

Li Deshui nodded and agreed to the plan. He arranged for several team members to disperse around to provide cover, while the others were responsible for completing the mission in the smoke.

"Sister-in-law, this step is too dangerous. How about I do it?" A soldier volunteered.

Cheng Yuwei shook her head and said, "I'm more familiar with the properties of these potions. Let me do it."

The action begins

Cheng Yuwei took a deep breath and threw the can toward the center of the supply point. With a soft "bang", a thick white smoke quickly rose and filled the entire supply point.

"Go!" Li Deshui shouted, and the team members rushed out quickly. Under the cover of smoke, they avoided the sight of patrolling soldiers and quietly approached the target.

Cheng Yuwei followed closely behind the team, observing the surrounding movements. Her mission was not only to assist in the sabotage operation, but also to be ready to treat injured team members at any time.

"Sister-in-law, here!" Li Deshui pointed to the axle of the ammunition truck and motioned her to check the fixed blasting point.

Cheng Yuwei quickly confirmed the location of the potion, then nodded, "Okay!"

unexpected events

Just as they were about to evacuate, an enemy soldier suddenly rushed into the smoke range. He obviously noticed something unusual and shouted to his companions.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Li Deshui gritted his teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, retreat quickly!"

"Wait!" Cheng Yuwei suddenly reached out and grabbed him, whispering, "We can't let the enemy extinguish the explosion point in time. We must delay."

After saying this, she took out another bottle of potion, sprinkled it on the ground, and lit a fuse. Instantly, a pungent smell spread, forcing the enemy soldiers to retreat.

"Squad, cover my sister-in-law's retreat!" Li Deshui shouted and rushed towards the enemy with several soldiers to attract their attention.

Cheng Yuwei took the opportunity to retreat quickly and meet up with another group of team members.

The cost of retreat

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" a soldier asked with concern.

Cheng Yuwei shook her head and said, "I'm fine, go check on the others!"

Li Deshui successfully escaped with the last group of team members, but his shoulders were stained with blood. He forced a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, you saved us. You are so amazing."

Cheng Yuwei immediately bandaged his wound, but her heart was filled with worry. Although this operation had achieved its goal, she knew that the next retreat would be even more dangerous.

The crisis behind

After returning to their temporary hideout, the squad finally relaxed a bit. However, Cheng Yuwei noticed that the enemy's reaction was quicker than she expected. They seemed to have noticed the squad's route and were setting up ambushes along the way.

"The enemy commander seems very experienced." Cheng Yuwei whispered, "If they continue to pursue us, our casualties will be even greater."

Li Deshui nodded. "Sister-in-law is right. It seems we must change our plan and take a detour back."

Cheng Yuwei looked at the map and said in a deep voice, "If we take a detour, we may have to travel an extra day, but at least we can avoid the enemy's blockade."

Li Deshui pondered for a while and made a decision: "Let's do as my sister-in-law said."

Unfinished Danger

As night fell, the squad continued its march through the dense forest. Cheng Yuwei clutched the first aid kit tightly, the murmur of the soldiers' footsteps and the rustling of leaves in the wind filling her ears.

At this moment, a dog barking suddenly sounded in the distance, followed by the sound of muffled footsteps, as if a group of enemy troops were approaching...
