Upon receiving the critical intelligence from Zhao Gang regarding the recent shortage of enemy supplies, the emptiness of their supply lines, and the impending troop rotation, the Base of Resistance immediately began to prepare for a surprise attack. They were determined to deliver a heavy blow to the Kuomintang Army and thoroughly disrupt their operational plans.
The organization quickly selected an elite force from various units. These soldiers were battle-hardened veterans with rich combat experience, possessing not only exceptional military skills but also a fervent passion for the revolutionary cause. They were eager and resolute, their eyes reflecting determination and courage, ready to pounce on the enemy at a moment's notice.
Lin Feng understood that the success of this operation hinged on the choice of route. Leveraging his long-term infiltration into enemy territory and his intimate knowledge of the surrounding terrain, he volunteered to participate in the pre-battle planning, mapping out the best assault path for the Assault Team. In the operations meeting room, dim yellow lights illuminated the serious and focused faces of everyone present. Lin Feng leaned over a table covered with maps, his finger tracing along mountains, rivers, and roads as he explained: "The enemy's main supply line starts from the material reserve center in the county town, following this official road through Qingyan Pass and Heishui River before finally reaching the front lines. Qingyan Pass is strategically significant, flanked by towering mountains, making it a natural ambush site; however, the enemy has stationed heavy troops here. Meanwhile, Heishui River is narrow but has a swift current and complex surrounding terrain, making their defenses relatively weak."
After careful consideration, Lin Feng's finger landed decisively on a point on the map. He looked up at everyone and said: "In my opinion, we can avoid a direct confrontation at Qingyan Pass and choose to take this mountain path to bypass it and reach upstream of Heishui River. Then we can use simple wooden rafts to cross the river and circumvent their forward outposts, directly targeting their supply convoy's route. Although this path is rugged and difficult, it offers excellent concealment and will catch them off guard."
The Assault Team leader listened intently to Lin Feng's plan, nodding occasionally with appreciation in his eyes. "Comrade Lin, your plan is brilliant! Let's proceed as you suggested; tonight we'll show those Kuomintang guys what we're made of."
As night fell like a vast black satin curtain over the land, it provided perfect cover for the surprise attack. The Assault Team soldiers donned dark clothing, smeared their faces with black ash, carried weapons and ammunition, and under Lin Feng's leadership moved stealthily through the mountains like phantoms. The rugged mountain path was muddy and thorny; one misstep could lead to injury. Yet not a single soldier complained; driven by their indomitable will and physical prowess, they pressed forward step by step toward their objective.
Upon reaching upstream of Heishui River, Lin Feng signaled for the team to stop. He approached the riverbank first to assess the water flow before directing his comrades to quickly chop down trees to construct makeshift rafts. Before long, several rudimentary yet sturdy rafts were completed. The soldiers carefully placed them into the river in batches before boarding them to begin crossing. The icy water soaked their clothes and chilled them to the bone, but at that moment, they held onto one belief: complete the mission and bring glory to the Base of Resistance!
After successfully crossing the river, the Assault Team swiftly concealed themselves in the grass on either side of the enemy supply line, quietly waiting for their target to appear. Time passed slowly in silence within the mountains; only occasional insect chirps and whispers of wind through leaves broke it. The soldiers lay flat on the ground without moving an inch; every muscle was tense as they fixed their gaze on the road ahead with weapons ready for a lethal strike.
Finally, distant sounds of engines roaring and wheels rolling reached them. Lin Feng peered through gaps in the grass and saw a convoy of supply trucks slowly approaching—composed of over ten vehicles. The headlights blazed through the night like glaring beacons illuminating the road ahead; these trucks were loaded with food, ammunition, medical supplies—vital resources desperately needed by the Kuomintang Army at the front lines.
"Prepare for battle!" Lin Feng whispered urgently to his comrades. The soldiers quickly adjusted their stances, gripping their weapons tightly as they aimed at the convoy. Once all vehicles had entered their ambush zone, Lin Feng let out a fierce roar: "Attack!" Instantly, gunfire erupted alongside explosions from grenades that shattered the night's tranquility. The Assault Team surged forth like tigers descending from a mountain, launching a ferocious assault on the convoy.
The driver of the lead truck was caught off guard by this sudden attack; panicking, he lost control of the steering wheel as his truck crashed into a tree by the roadside and became immobilized. The vehicles behind him slammed on brakes in an attempt to turn around and flee but found no room on the narrow road to maneuver. Seizing this opportunity, soldiers exploited their advantageous position—some fired while others threw grenades—unleashing an all-out assault on their enemies.
Although guards from Kuomintang Army fought back fiercely amidst chaos caused by this sudden strike, they quickly lost cohesion under pressure. They fired blindly while scrambling for cover in an attempt to evade relentless firepower. However, it was too late; one by one, enemy guards fell under precise shots from our soldiers.
The battle escalated fiercely amidst clouds of gunpowder smoke that filled the air with suffocating stench. Lin Feng maneuvered through bullets flying around him while commanding his troops and engaging in combat himself. His handgun spat fire continuously as each shot accurately struck its target. When he spotted a truck loaded with ammunition attempting to break through encirclement, Lin Feng charged forward without hesitation and threw a grenade into its cabin. With a deafening explosion, flames erupted from it lighting up the entire battlefield.
Under relentless attacks from Assault Team members, Kuomintang Army's supply convoy soon found itself in dire straits. Most trucks were either destroyed or rendered immobile on-site while cargo spilled across ground everywhere. Seeing this opportunity arise, soldiers rushed forward decisively to eliminate remaining enemies completely before starting to destroy supplies onboard. Buckets of gasoline were poured over foodstuffs and ammunition before torches were lit; roaring flames swiftly consumed everything.
Watching flames illuminate night sky crimson red brought a smile of satisfaction to Lin Feng's face as he realized that this surprise attack had been an overwhelming success—enemy forces at front lines would soon face severe supply shortages. This was merely a powerful counterstrike against reactionary forces of Kuomintang; many more battles awaited them ahead.
As flames gradually subsided, Lin Feng led Assault Team members swiftly clearing away remnants from battlefield while collecting usable weaponry and ammunition before safely retreating along predetermined routes. Upon returning triumphantly back at Base of Resistance they received warm welcomes from both military personnel and civilians alike—soldiers cheered joyfully celebrating this hard-won victory while locals offered food and tea expressing gratitude towards these heroes.
This successful raid on supply lines not only significantly weakened combat effectiveness of Kuomintang Army but also boosted morale among military personnel within Base of Resistance instilling firm belief that united efforts would pave way toward ultimate victory against any obstacles ahead! Meanwhile Lin Feng emerged once again as hero in everyone’s eyes due his outstanding wisdom coupled with brave actions—his name resonated throughout Base of Resistance inspiring many more individuals willing fight tirelessly for revolutionary cause.
In wake of surprise attack on supply lines chaos erupted within Kuomintang Army ranks instantly—frontline faced severe shortages leading soldiers' morale plummeting amidst complaints echoing everywhere; meanwhile officers behind scenes busied themselves shifting blame onto one another arguing negligence had caused this disastrous defeat! Inside command center voices clashed with accusations flying around as each person desperately tried absolve themselves attempting shift responsibility elsewhere.
Amidst all this turmoil however Zhao Gang remained composed knowing full well that now was prime opportunity gather crucial intelligence! Utilizing his usual low-profile demeanor he discreetly navigated between tents attentively listening conversations among officers collecting any potentially useful information.
One late night while passing by temporary operations meeting tent Zhao Gang overheard intense discussions taking place inside! His heart raced as he slowed down pretending patrol while stealthily approaching tent straining ears listen closely! Through gaps between tent flaps he caught glimpse several senior officers seated around table looking grave discussing document spread out before them—it seemed they were deliberating operational plans!
Zhao Gang felt exhilarated knowing how vital this document could be! Patiently waiting until officers began leaving one by one leaving only an aide behind tidying up papers—just when aide turned back towards exit Zhao Gang swiftly slipped inside snatching remnants document hiding them within his clothing before casually continuing patrol!
Back at his quarters Zhao Gang eagerly opened remnants examining closely! Though only few words were written therein they contained crucial information regarding enemy troop redeployments changing offensive directions along projected timelines which made him realize significance intelligence held! Understanding urgency Zhao Gang knew he must relay this information promptly Lin Feng so Base Resistance could gain precious time respond effectively!
The next day Zhao Gang managed contact Lin Feng via agreed communication method meeting up outside county town in abandoned farmhouse where he hurriedly handed over operational plan remnants saying anxiously: "Brother Lin! I barely got my hands on this last night—you need see it! Those Kuomintang guys seem like they're plotting something again—it's urgent!"
Lin Feng took the torn page and read it carefully, his expression growing serious. He understood that this intelligence was undoubtedly a timely boon for the Base of Resistance, but it also meant that the Kuomintang's counterattack was imminent, making the situation increasingly dire. "Zhao Gang, you have done a great service this time! This information is crucial. Rest assured, the organization will reward you well," Lin Feng said gratefully as he patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder.
Upon returning to the Base of Resistance, Lin Feng immediately reported the intelligence to the organization. The leaders engaged in thorough discussions and concluded that the current moment was ripe for intensifying efforts to win over Zhao Gang. If they could successfully sway him completely and have him bring out more core intelligence, it would be decisive for the future development of the Base of Resistance.
Thus, the organization decided to send a seasoned Underground Party Member, Li Hua, to assist Lin Feng in furthering the persuasion efforts. Li Hua had successfully swayed Kuomintang officers multiple times and was experienced and skilled. Together with Lin Feng, he meticulously devised a detailed plan for persuasion.
First, they reestablished contact with Zhao Gang and elaborated on the Communist Party's revolutionary ideals, its mission, and its unwavering commitment to seeking happiness for the people. Li Hua earnestly addressed Zhao Gang: "Brother Zhao, look at what the Kuomintang is doing now—internal corruption is rampant, and the officers only care about power struggles while disregarding the lives of ordinary people. We Communists are dedicated solely to the people, striving to overthrow oppression and establish a fair, just China where everyone is equal. You are a person with a sense of justice; don’t you want to do something truly meaningful for this country?"
Listening to Li Hua's words, Zhao Gang felt a stirring in his heart. He recalled the suffering his family had endured and witnessed the various atrocities committed by the Kuomintang Army; he couldn't help but resonate deeply with what this Communist had said. "I understand your point; I want to do something for my country too. But I am still a Kuomintang officer. If I am discovered, my entire family will suffer," Zhao Gang said hesitantly, revealing his concerns.
Lin Feng noticed his apprehension and quickly reassured him: "Brother Zhao, don’t worry. The organization has already considered this point. As long as you are willing to join us, we will immediately arrange for your family to be safely relocated at any cost and provide them with proper protection. Moreover, you will be our comrade from now on; we will treat you like family and ensure that you come to no harm."
