Tang Li signaled to Zhao Gang, who quickly squatted down and threw the pebbles in his hand towards the Japanese.

"There's movement over there!" A Japanese soldier suddenly became alert and walked towards the direction where the stone fell. Tang Li and Zhao Gang took the opportunity to quietly go behind the Japanese soldier and subdue him in a lightning speed.

"Hurry up and change your clothes." Tang Li said in a low voice.

Zhao Gang nodded, and the two quickly changed into the Japanese uniforms, and then pretended to walk towards the mine. Along the way, they met a few patrolling Japanese soldiers, and they were all perfunctory with fluent Japanese.

Finally, they arrived near the mine. Wei Heshang and Zhang Dabiao had already led their men to ambush in the dark, quietly waiting for their arrival. Tang Li looked around and made sure there were no traces of other devils, so he whispered, "Detonate now!"

With a deafening explosion, the entire mine was instantly engulfed by a huge fireball. The power of the gas explosion was far beyond Tang Li's expectations, and the entire mine was shaking violently. The Japanese were frightened by the sudden explosion and fled in all directions, but they had no idea that this was just Tang Li's first step.

"Quick, rush in while the chaos is going on!" Tang Li shouted, and rushed towards the enemy's camp with Zhao Gang and the soldiers in ambush. Before the smoke and dust from the explosion had dispersed, they had already rushed into the enemy's defense line. Wei Heshang and Zhang Dabiao rushed down the mountain like tigers, waving their weapons and engaging in a fierce hand-to-hand fight with the enemy.

"Tang Li, watch your back!" Zhao Gang suddenly shouted, and Tang Li quickly turned around and chopped down a sneak attacking devil with one knife. Their tactics worked, and the devils gradually lost their ability to resist in the chaos and were defeated one by one.

"Retreat!" Tang Li saw that the time had come and decisively ordered a retreat. The soldiers quickly evacuated the scene and returned to a safe area.

They won a great victory in this surprise attack. Wei Heshang and Zhang Dabiao excitedly high-fived Tang Li to celebrate, while Zhao Gang looked at them with satisfaction: "Tang Li, you have made a great contribution this time."

Tang Li, however, did not show much joy. He looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, "This is just the beginning. We still have a lot to do."

The next day, Li Yunlong, Xiuqin and a team of people rushed to the mine. Along the way, they heard about the battle last night and praised Tang Li's heroic deeds. Li Yunlong patted Tang Li on the shoulder and laughed, "Tang Li, you did a great job! I was right about you!"

Xiuqin also looked at Tang Li with admiration: "Brother Tang Li, you are awesome! We will all follow you from now on!"

Tang Li smiled modestly: "Captain Li, Sister Xiuqin, this is all thanks to everyone. Without their cooperation, I could not have done it alone."

Li Yunlong nodded, put away his smile, and said seriously: "Next, we have to find a way to continue to expand the fruits of victory. The devils will not give up, we must be prepared for a more difficult battle."

Tang Li nodded in agreement. He knew that the real challenge was still to come. This war of resistance required the wisdom and courage of each of them.

A few days later, they received new intelligence: the devils were preparing to launch a large-scale mopping-up operation, aiming directly at their base. This was undoubtedly a battle of life and death. Li Yunlong called everyone together and held an emergency meeting.

"Everyone, the situation is urgent now. The Japanese are preparing to launch a large-scale sweep against us." Li Yunlong said solemnly in front of the map, "We must prepare in advance and cannot sit and wait for death."

"Captain Li, do you have any specific plans?" Zhao Gang asked.

Li Yunlong nodded and looked at Tang Li: "Tang Li, you are most familiar with the terrain. How do you think we should fight?"

Tang Li pondered for a moment, pointed at the map and said: "Here, here, and here are all the routes that the Japanese must pass through. If we can set up an ambush in these places and catch them off guard, we may be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes flashed with appreciation: "Okay! Let's do as you say. Everyone, now split up and set up an ambush according to Tang Li's plan."

Wei Heshang and Zhang Dabiao led the team to set off quickly. They ambushed on the road that the devils had to pass, quietly waiting for the enemy to arrive. Xiuqin and other soldiers were responsible for setting up a defense line around the base, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

Finally, the large force of the devils began to move. They marched towards the base with great momentum, but they didn't know that they had fallen into the trap carefully laid by Tang Li.

"Here they come!" Monk Wei looked at the Japanese troops in the distance, raising dust, and clenched his weapon.

Zhang Dabiao ordered in a low voice: "Everyone get ready and listen to my orders!"

The Japanese entered the ambush circle, and everything happened as Tang Li expected. Zhang Dabiao suddenly gave an order, and the soldiers in the ambush launched a fierce attack on the Japanese from all directions like tigers out of a cage. The sound of explosions and gunfire mixed together, and the Japanese were caught off guard and fell one after another.

"Charge!" Monk Wei led the way, waving his sword and charging into the enemy's formation. Zhang Dabiao followed closely behind him. Like two sharp blades, they quickly tore through the enemy's defense line.

At the same time, Tang Li and Zhao Gang also led a team to encircle the enemy from the other side. They took advantage of the terrain and continuously harassed the enemy's rear, causing the enemy to be attacked from both sides and their defense line gradually collapsed.

The battle lasted for a whole morning, and the Japanese were finally completely defeated. When Li Yunlong and Xiuqin arrived with the follow-up troops, the battlefield was already in a mess, with Japanese corpses all over the ground.

"Tang Li, you have made a great contribution again this time." Li Yunlong patted Tang Li's shoulder with a satisfied smile on his face.

Tang Li, however, was not very happy. He knew that this battle was only a temporary victory and the Japanese would come back again. He looked into the distance and said in a deep voice: "Captain Li, we can't let our guard down. The Japanese will definitely come again."

Li Yunlong nodded. He knew that Tang Li was right. This war of resistance required everyone to be alert at all times.

As night fell, the cold wind swept through the mountains, bringing bursts of biting chill. Inside the makeshift headquarters, the lights were dim and smoke was lingering. Li Yunlong held a wine glass, his eyes revealing a hint of depth. He was a little excited, because today's victory was a real victory, and all this was thanks to Tang Li and his mortar unit.

"Captain Li, I say you have to reward Tang Li." Monk Wei put down the bowl in his hand and looked at Li Yunlong with a smile on his face, "That shot was so accurate that it almost blew the Japanese commander up into the sky!"

"Haha, yes, Captain Li, Tang Li's mortar really did a great job this time!" Zhang Dabiao also laughed and echoed, "I think the enemy's headquarters has become a ruin."

"You are right. This time Tang Li and his mortar unit did perform very well." Li Yunlong nodded, with a gratified smile on his face. "However, we have to reward them with something tangible. Otherwise, it will not be sincere enough to just talk about it."

"Captain Li, what should we reward you with?" Xiuqin asked curiously, "We can't just give you a few nice words."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "I think this is how it should be. Doesn't Old Liu in our village raise a few pigs? Let's kill a pig and improve the food for Tang Li and his troops!"

"Okay, this is a good idea, Captain Li!" Zhao Gang patted the table with an approving smile on his face. "The soldiers have been craving meat for a long time after eating dry food every day. Let them have a good meal this time."

"That's settled. Tomorrow morning, I'll go tell Old Liu about this myself." Li Yunlong said decisively, "Now, let's review tonight's tactics. Although the Japs have been badly beaten by us, they won't give up."

While they were discussing tactics, the curtain of the tent was opened and Tang Li walked in. He looked a little tired, but his eyes were still bright.

"Captain Li, brothers, I'm back." Tang Li saluted and put down the weapon in his hand.

"Tang Li, well done!" Li Yunlong stood up and patted Tang Li on the shoulder. "You and your mortar unit have made great contributions this time. I have decided to give you a special reward."

"Reward?" Tang Li looked at Li Yunlong in surprise. "Captain Li, being able to fight alongside you all is the best reward."

"Haha, you are really modest." Li Yunlong laughed, "But this time the reward is not empty. Tomorrow morning, a pig from our village will become your dinner!"

"Pig?" Tang Li was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, "Captain Li, this is really a big deal!"

"Of course, this pig is our special reward." Zhao Gang also said with a smile, "You have worked hard, and you deserve a good meal."

"Thank you, Captain Li, and thank you, brothers." Tang Li said gratefully, "I will definitely bring this reward back and share it with my brothers."

As the night deepened, Li Yunlong and others continued to discuss tactics, while Tang Li returned to his camp. He looked at the soldiers who were already asleep, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that this victory was hard-won, and every soldier had made great efforts and sacrifices. And tomorrow, they can finally have a good meal.

The next morning, the sun shone on the earth, dispelling the night's chill. Li Yunlong led several soldiers to the home of Old Man Liu at the head of the village. Old Man Liu was a big pig farmer in the village. When he heard that the army was going to reward Tang Li with a pig, he took out the fattest pig without saying a word.

"Captain Li, this pig is the fattest in my family." Old Man Liu said with a smile, "Take it and reward those heroes."

"Thank you, old man Liu. This time it's all thanks to you." Li Yunlong also thanked with a smile, and then ordered someone to lead the pig back to the camp.
