Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 139 Captain! Don't shoot! it's me!

 After the pre-war meeting, the four regiment leaders took their positions. They returned to the area where their troops were located for a final combat readiness inspection.

 Commander Yang led a reinforced company of soldiers to a section of railway five kilometers away from the Jingxing Coal Mine. This was the blasting site they had chosen in advance.

 At the beginning, the soldiers took great pains to choose a location that was suitable in all aspects.

It cannot be too far away from the coal mine, otherwise the Japanese may not be able to see or hear the explosion, which will defeat the purpose of luring the snake out of its hole.

They should not be too close to the coal mines, otherwise the Japanese will try their best to withdraw from the coal mines after they find out that they have been tricked into moving the tiger away from the mountain.

 Although we don’t know how many people the Japanese will send, this battle will definitely be fought. If there are not many enemies coming, then naturally we must strive to annihilate them all. There is no reason not to eat the fat meat that is brought to our lips.

 In case the size of the enemy is around a squadron, Commander Yang will have to weigh the benefits.

This reinforcement is not weak even on paper, with more than 300 people, but overall it lacks heavy weapons. Once there is a firefight with the Japanese, the only weapons that can be used as support weapons are a few grenade launchers and a 60mm gun.

In this case, it may be difficult to wipe out all the enemies, but it will definitely be no problem to hold them back.

 Not long after, Commander Yang led the soldiers to the predetermined location. The first thing the comrades did was not to lay explosives, but to lay mines.

Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, and when the enemy's destination is clearly known, weapons that can hinder the enemy's actions and kill effective forces are most suitable.

After arranging all the minefields and explosives, the soldiers immediately returned to the mountains and forests on both sides of the railway, where there were prepared attack positions and standby positions.

Commander Yang looked at the watch on his wrist, and then asked everyone to prepare for battle. Now everything is ready and all he needs is the east wind.

　　————————

 In the northwest corner of Jingxing Coal Mine, there is a Japanese-style building that is completely different from the surrounding ones.

Looking through the clean doors and windows, you can see that the decoration inside is very luxurious. This is where the three Japanese squadron leaders live.

 Compared to the workers who work day and night in the mining area, the environment in which they lived for these three short days seemed to be like paradise.

 But even though they live a life of superiority, the three of them are very dissatisfied with the current situation. Whenever they have free time, they will get together to drink and take the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction.

 Since the third squadron is responsible for this month's rural clearing mission, the remaining two squadron captains are relatively leisurely. After the two devils finished handling their daily affairs, they went to the public recreation room to have a few drinks.

 Miyajima Junji of the 1st Squadron is not a very good drinker and is already a little drunk at this time.

 Wearing a white scarf on his head, he picked up his wine glass with blurred eyes and took a big sip, then stuffed a few edamame beans into his mouth.

 After a meal of eating and drinking, the devil looked in front of him and said with some melancholy:

“Fujimura-kun, I’ve really had enough of life here. I joined the army to make great achievements and expand the territory. Now I stay in this shabby coal mine every day, and my fighting spirit has been completely wiped out.”

 After hearing what his comrades said, Fujimura Hiroto of the Second Squadron nodded in agreement.

Although the First Army of Jin Province has not taken any big actions recently, there are still more or less battles to fight. Among the fellow villagers who joined the army at the same time as them, a number have already become captains.

 But the three of them are in a worse situation. There is almost no room for improvement in the garrison tasks in the coal mine.

Not only did he not get any military exploits, he was often harassed by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army. Once there is a problem with the railway or the coal mine, the superiors will always hold them responsible immediately.

Moreover, the life here is very monotonous. Originally, the three of them could still enjoy bullying the prisoners of war.

 But three years have passed. Except for those few hard-core soldiers, almost all the soldiers of the Republic of China who could bring them some happiness have died.

Thinking of this, Fujimura Hiroto sighed at first, but his eyes quickly lit up again, as if he had thought of something.

At this young age, I ate a piece of pickled radish, filled the two glasses in front of me with wine, and then said to my colleagues:

“Miyajima-kun, a major friend of mine told me some news some time ago. My younger brother is going to take advantage of the time when Daiying and Gaulji are busy with themselves to put pressure on them.”

“In my opinion, we will attack Southeast Asia sooner or later. Except for the poor living conditions there, the rest is definitely much better than the Republic of China, and there are definitely enough opportunities for war.”

“Those of us who have no background can only rely on military merit to get promoted. If you are interested, let’s work together to see if we can go there and try our luck.”

 Obviously Junji Miyajima was very interested in this proposal. After hearing these words this little day, the whole person became excited, as if he would be out of the sea of ​​suffering soon.

 The two of them swept away their previous bad luck and continued drinking and having fun. Soon, Showa's ditty was heard in the common room.

But the happy time was very short-lived. Suddenly there was a loud noise in the distance, followed by several explosions. The originally quiet mining area immediately erupted in exclamations from the miners and the Japanese.

 Less than two minutes had passed before the door of the public recreation room was carefully pushed open by a traitor.

 The Japs at the grassroots level knew very well that their squadron leaders did not like to be disturbed when drinking, so the drudgery of reporting was naturally passed on to the traitors who had no human rights.

The two Japanese who looked like a mine policeman looked very panicked, as if they would be killed in the next second.

Turns out his hunch was right. Junji Miyajima, whose dream was interrupted, directly picked up the Southern Type 14 pistol next to him. After seeing this scene, the traitor immediately knelt on the ground and shouted:

 “Captain! Don’t shoot! It’s me!”

 Hearing the other party's begging for mercy, Miyajima Junji rubbed his eyes. After seeing clearly who was coming, he put the tortoise box back. After all, this is a typical example of someone who has supported himself, so keeping him is still useful.

 “Oh~ It’s you kid, why are you so distracted?”

 After his life was no longer in danger, the traitor breathed a sigh of relief. He got up from the ground and answered to the two people in front of him:

“Go out and take a look, something big has happened! Our railway has been bombed again!”

 Although their gathering was interrupted, business matters were definitely more important, and this was their responsibility.

After hearing the traitor’s report, the two squadron leaders immediately ran to the observation post in the mining area, which was already surrounded by soldiers and mine police. Junji Miyajima grabbed a telescope, then immediately went upstairs and stood on the sentry post to observe carefully.

When he saw the location of the explosion, his expression immediately changed. He slammed his fist on the guardrail in front of him. The pain and shock even made the Japanese sober.

“Baga! The **** guerrillas are here again! Why are these people as annoying as flies! Can’t you just let me live a peaceful life for a day?”

"What does the Third Squadron do? There are so many people who can't protect a section of the railway. These food wastebaskets should all commit suicide!"

 For these devils lying in the occupied area sucking blood, they have long regarded this place as their own territory. What's more, after this section of the railway is destroyed, the coal excavated from the Jingxing Coal Mine will not be transported to the three major factories. Every day of delay will cause great losses.

 This is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to accept for the Japanese soldiers stationed there.

If this section of the railway cannot be restored and opened to traffic as quickly as possible, everyone may be killed by Mizuhara Yoshige, a pervert who engages in intelligence, let alone going to Southeast Asia to win war glory.

It is no longer important whether the guerrillas can be captured or not. The top priority now is to repair the railway quickly. If it hasn't been repaired when the next train comes, something really big is going to happen.

Thinking of this, Junji Miyajima decided to lead the team in person and set off immediately, so he shouted loudly below:

“Inform me that the first squadron must assemble! Come with me to check the place where the explosion occurred! Remember to bring the railway maintenance workers with you! Anyone who doesn’t want to be punished can move!”

 After the order was issued, the soldiers at the sentry post immediately ran towards the gate of the mining area. This kind of thing has happened before, and the Japs have also undergone special training.

Several team captains blew the assembly whistles hanging on their chests, and the Japanese came from all directions. They gathered towards the gate of the coal mine.

As if he had thought of something, the Japanese squadron leader warned Fujimura Hiroto on the side:

“The defense of the mining area will be left to you. You must pay attention to safety to avoid being sneaked in by those **** guerrillas.”

“The Third Squadron has not returned yet. I don’t know if it is in danger. We will keep in touch and notify our squadron as soon as possible if anything happens.”

Just as the Japanese were about to leave, the correspondent from the mining area suddenly rushed over. He handed the mobile phone in his hand to Junji Miyajima.

 The other end of the phone was a major stationed in Jingxing County. As the nearest garrison, he had to worry about railways and coal mines.

 When the explosion occurred, he immediately ordered the troops to assemble, ready to rush to support at any time.

"Miyajima-san, what happened over there? Did an enemy attack you? Do you need support from our brigade? Was there an accident in the coal mine? Was the railway damaged?"

Although Miyajima is very anxious, in this situation, he can only answer the other party's questions patiently. After all, the other party also has good intentions, not to mention that his military rank is two ranks higher than his own.

 After hearing the prediction from the coal mine, the Major breathed a sigh of relief and gave Taijun’s affirmation! After all, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army have been wreaking havoc for more than a day or two. As long as they can be repaired, it is not a big problem.

“Yoshi! Thanks to the experienced Miyajima-san! I’ll leave this matter to you! Remember to report to me in time after finding out the situation! Once the enemy is discovered, immediately eliminate it on the spot.”

 “Go ahead and do it boldly! I’m optimistic about you!”

"Hi!"

 After ending the communication, Miyajima Junji immediately rushed towards the location where his men were gathering.

These Japanese soldiers are moving very fast, and there are already three trucks and five motorcycles waiting to set off at the gate.

Although the road condition around Jingxing Coal Mine is not very good, the sleepers, steel track nails and all the materials they need to repair the railway are not light and cannot be moved without transportation.

As for the reason for carrying sidecar motorcycles, it is so that soldiers can carry light machine guns.

Although the weapons and equipment of those guerrillas are very poor, it is definitely not a bad thing to bring more weapons without affecting the speed. Maybe they can make a big harvest today.

With the support of vehicles, the Japanese soldiers quickly arrived at the Zhengtai Railway. The very chaotic scene in front of them all showed that this place had just been destroyed.

However, Junji Miyajima was a little surprised.

I don’t know why, but those **** guerrillas didn’t knock down the telephone poles this time. Even the wires were not cut, and the street lights that were supposed to be extinguished were still on.

With the light provided by this lamp, he could see a small ten-meter gap just by observing it with his naked eyes, but this was not the most deadly thing.

There are several large pits of several meters in the middle of the railway, and there are broken rails and burning sleepers scattered around. Anyone with a healthy IQ knows that they were created by bombing.

Now the Japanese are thankful that they discovered it in time, otherwise the transport train would have derailed after it arrived. At that time, not only will it be a matter of failing to protect the railway, but it will also be aggravated.

The situation at the scene was worse than expected. Junji Miyajima, who was leading the team, felt that his blood pressure was rising. He ordered his men to start putting out the fire with a curse.

“Why don’t these guerrillas play by the rules? Didn’t they always pry off the railway tracks and steal the sleepers? Even if they get rich, they can’t forget their roots! Why are they willing to use explosives today?”

“Damn it, it’s impossible to repair this level of damage in one night! Why don’t these cowards dare to fight the locust army with real swords and guns!”

“Team One and Team Two! You are responsible for cooperating with the maintenance personnel to carry out emergency repairs! Team Three remains alert! Pay attention to whether there are enemies on both sides of the railway!”

Faced with the captain’s arrogant remarks, many Japanese soldiers complained silently in their hearts.

 The Eighth Route Army is the enemy, but they are not fools. If you have the strength to fight with real swords and guns, who will play guerrilla with you?

 But these days, they have been blinded by their own inertial thinking. Since they have had too many similar experiences before, they take it for granted that it is a small move carried out by the guerrillas.

They never thought that the force causing the current situation would be the Eighth Route Regular Army, and it would also be an enhanced version of the comprehensive replacement of shotguns with cannons.

Miyajima Junji is a Japs who fought hard from the grassroots level. Although he has not systematically learned various tactics, he has a lot of experience summed up with blood.

 It's a pity that the third team did not carry out the tasks assigned to him seriously. The Japanese were extremely lax and did not even come to the reinforcement company's hidden position to check.

Just when all the enemies were unwary, a red signal flare rose from the forest next to the railway. The time was exactly eight o'clock!

 “Hit me!”

Following the order from the commander of the reinforced company, the soldiers who had been waiting at the attack position immediately began to attack.

Rifle and light machine gun bullets first hit the Japanese's third squad. They didn't know what happened for dozens of days, but more than half of them were lost in the first wave of attacks!

Miyajima Junji's reaction speed was very fast. The moment the gunshot rang out, he led several nearby soldiers to find a suitable bunker.

“Baga! Where are the shots? What’s going on? Who is attacking us?”

Although he seemed a little flustered by these three consecutive questions, the little devil still made the most correct choice at the first time.

 “Knock out the lights! We’re ambushed!”

　　　I am so damned! real!
