An hour later, the convoy stopped at a depression.

Please give the order to stop the engine and wait for orders

Turn off the engine!

Commander, please order the reconnaissance team to investigate the enemys movements

Reconnaissance team

Zhao Yu was also enjoying himself. He would ask the commander for the reason for every step he took.

He gained a lot of experience and indirectly improving his military ac.u.men.

A short while later, the sergeant commander came to report.

Report, we have scouted the enemys movements

The enemy has 211 people, including 151 non-combatants and 60 combatants

Zhao Yu gained a preliminary understanding of the enemy.

More than fifty vehicles were responsible for transporting grain and valuable resources from the shelter.

Most were residents of Wild Wolf Town with a few armed personnel.

Report to the commander, for this operation, 1 suggest we neutralize the threat

Rarely, the Sergeant commander proactively made a suggestion, which surprised Zhao Yu.

Commander, if were just plundering once, then annihilating the enemy would suffice

But we plan to attack Wild Wolf Town later. Rashly killing these non-combatants will only backfire

Zhao Yu understood immediately, grasping the Sergeant commanders intent.

The top management cla.s.s of Wild Wolf Town was different from the residents.

They were the armed force, numbering around three to five hundred people.

Eliminating them wouldnt cause the residents of Wild Wolf Town to rebel, as they didnt have high loyalty.

But if they killed the residents of Wild Wolf Town this time. When they officially attacked the town, it might force the enemy to mobilize all its people for war.

Wild Wolf Town had over five thousand people. Excluding the elderly, weak, and sick, there were still at least three or four thousand able to bear arms, which would make the battle much harder.

Then well neutralize the threat, spare the civilians, eliminate all threats Wait!

If possible, tell those civilians that this is to avenge the previous ambush, and let them tell Li Yang to clean his neck and wait for me to kill him!

Yes, Commander!

Zhao Yu and his team alighted from the vehicles, hiding them in the forest and covering them with camouflage cloths.

After walking for about half an hour, they reached their destination.

The Sergeant commander was busy, constantly a.s.signing tasks to the other three squad leaders.

The number of people around Zhao Yu gradually dwindled, until only a soldier remained, and even the Sergeant commander was nowhere to be seen.

As Zhao Yu pondered how the battle would unfold, a slight tremor suddenly vibrated through the ground.

They were coming!

In the distance, a convoy approached slowly, led by an armored off-road vehicle with several gunmen seated inside.

The first vehicle maintained a distance from the rest of the convoy, with its gunmen using binoculars to scan both sides of the road.

Zhao Yu lay on the hillside, hidden behind branches, observing the situation on the road through the gaps.

When he noticed someone looking in his direction, he quickly ducked his head. Bwooh

The leading vehicle pa.s.sed by without noticing Zhao Yu.

At this point, Zhao Yu had no idea where the ambush point.

After the vehicles pa.s.sed, Zhao Yu slightly raised his head to continue observing.

He noticed that every few trucks in the convoy were interspersed with an armed vehicle.

This made Zhao Yu frown.

The enemy was too dispersed!

If he had enough manpower, it would be easier to deal with such enemy.

But he didnt have enough manpower!

Zhao Yu was worried, unsure of the Sergeant commanders reliability.

This was the first battle with a commander involved. If it failed, he would immediately relocate his base without a second thought.

As for revenge, that would have to wait for another opportunity.

Despite pondering for a long time, Zhao Yu couldnt figure out how the commander would conduct the battle.

Bwooh

One by one, vehicles pa.s.sed on the road in front of him. Compared to the previous group, the guards in the middle seemed more lax, not only failing to watch their surroundings carefully but even playing poker on the vehicles.

Zhao Yu also observed the armed personnels equipment, most of them carrying rifles with occasional armed vehicles equipped with mounted machine guns.

Besides, Zhao Yu spotted his vehicle, the electric off-road car he had lost in a previous ambush.

After about twenty or thirty vehicles pa.s.sed, Zhao Yu felt uncertain when the Sergeant commander would make a move.

Suddenly, gunfire erupted ahead.

Whats going on!

People in the convoy immediately shouted.

Stop the vehicles!

A leading person hastily halted the convoy, picking up a walkie-talkie to inquire.

Zhao Yu only caught a few shouted orders from the leader.

Subsequently, several armed vehicles with gunmen rushed forward.

This surprised Zhao Yu.

How did the Sergeant commander manage that?!

The enemys dispersed formation was not advantageous for them.

Yet, they were actively gathering towards the front.

Zhao Yu also roughly understood that the main battlefield was likely ahead of the convoy..
