Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

But even so, this time when the reconnaissance battalion came to carry out the interception and harassment, it still carried hundreds of anti-personnel mines.The hundreds of meters of road in front of me are equipped with three types of landmines: burst mines, trip mines, and step mines.

There was an explosion, and some pioneers quickly fell to the ground.It's just a pity that it doesn't seem safe to lie on the ground.Under the seemingly flat ground, there was also a huge wave from time to time, sending their entire bodies flying.

The screams seemed very pleasant to the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion who had been waiting for a long time this morning.The reconnaissance battalion in the ambush position was also awakened by these explosions.Tell them to start preparing for battle.

The Japanese army brigade following the vanguard heard the explosion from the front, and immediately a brigade rushed to support.It was not until they arrived that they knew that the vanguard troops had encountered landmines.

'Move up the brigade's engineering brigade and immediately carry out mine clearance.The rest of the troops carried out a security search around.Also look to see if there are other safe paths that allow us to move on. '

The Japanese infantry captain who came to support felt a little angry when he saw the tragic situation of the vanguard troops, but he also knew that demining would take time.But now time seems to be extremely precious to them!

While waiting for the engineers to come to clear the mines, the infantry brigade also began to search around.But the sound of explosions from time to time made the Japanese infantry captain realize that the area of ​​the minefield laid by the Eighth Route Army seemed larger than he had imagined.

Although in some surrounding fields, the number of landmines laid is very small.But this kind of mine, one by one, also made the Japanese soldiers who searched frightened.Fearing that one foot will fall to the ground, they will step on the landmine that makes them tremble with fear.

When the engineering brigade was ordered to arrive and began to clear mines on the road with minesweepers.A few shots were fired, and the mine-sweeping soldiers at the head immediately fell to the ground.

The Japanese infantry who stayed behind immediately said, "Baga, there are snipers!"

For infantry, what they fear most is this kind of sniper.The rifles used by snipers have a longer range than the rifles they use.This means that snipers can shoot them from a distance, but they are powerless to fight back.

The crisp gunshots caused the number of Japanese engineers and infantry fallen on the road to increase rapidly.Seeing this situation, the infantry captain immediately said: "Fire the guns and drive these damned snipers away!"

Under his order, the mortar gunners of the infantry brigade also quickly began to erect mortars.Even if they didn't know exactly where the sniper was because of the fog, it didn't affect their covering bombardment.

Round after round of mortar bombs smashed like flowers, and the originally orderly sound of sniper shots seemed to be somewhat reduced and affected.Seeing this situation, the engineers could only bite the bullet and continue to clear mines.

But amidst the gunfire, there were still crisp gunshots.After every gunshot, there is always a sapper to fall.The engineers walking in the front are undoubtedly the easiest targets to be shot.

Gradually, some engineers and soldiers did not dare to step forward easily.There is no way to go forward, which means that the landmines in front cannot be cleared.But for this situation, the engineering brigade captain was also a little helpless.

After all, it is impossible for him to let these engineers under him insist on seeking death even though they know they are going to die.The most urgent task is to find these snipers who shot and killed the engineers and drive them away or blow them up!

Hearing the request from the engineer captain, the infantry captain could only say: "Report the situation here to the brigade commander. Our brigade's artillery is not strong enough, and we need tactical guidance from the infantry artillery squadron!"

It seems to realize that the lethality of mortar guns seems to be a bit insufficient.The infantry captain felt that in this case, the infantry artillery squadron of the brigade could only come over.Only in this way can these hidden snipers be expelled.

Just wait until the infantry artillery is ready for shelling.The cold gunshots that rang out from time to time before seemed to calm down all of a sudden.What made the infantry captain vomit blood was that the number of landmines buried on the road did not seem to be many.

This means that a small demining will delay their time for nearly an hour.Thinking of this, the infantry captain also felt that the enemy they dealt with this time was really not a good one! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

<> Looking at the wounded soldiers being carried back one after another, the overcrowded field health team also had a headache for these wounded soldiers.Even in the end, in order to ensure the safety of these wounded, the infantry brigade had to send them to counties with troops stationed behind them.

The cold guns along the way, plus the "mine" meal in the early morning, really made the infantry brigades rushing to Zhengzhou truly feel the strength of these elite squads of the Eighth Route Army.

Many times, they only know that they have been attacked, but they have no idea who attacked them.Sometimes even the shadow of the attackers was not seen, and their soldiers fell one by one.This kind of invisible and intangible opponent is indeed a bit of a morale blow.

The infantry artillery squadron was brought up from the brigade. After the shelling, the snipers were indeed gone, and the landmines on the road were also cleared.But not to mention the delay for a long time, it also caused hundreds of casualties in the engineers and vanguard troops.

The head of the infantry brigade who heard the news seemed a little depressed.As for being angry, it has already been born.Since they went out last night, this is not the first time they have encountered such news, and no sneak attack has been discovered.

When the infantry brigade responsible for expelling the snipers fed back the information.These snipers of the Eighth Route Army built individual pits in the hidden places, which can effectively block their mortar bombing.

As for the infantry artillery, it can actually take a hit or two, but these snipers seem to have completed their mission.The Japanese infantry were not given a chance to attack, and when they were about to send infantry to the sniper point, these snipers had already slipped away.

After a long delay, the head of the infantry brigade finally gave the order to move on.Considering that the vanguard has lost many soldiers, the infantry brigade has replaced a group of troops serving as vanguard.

Considering that this place is not very far from Zhengzhou, the brigade head also said cautiously: "From the minefields arranged by the eight routes before, they already know we are coming. The attacks along the way are all to delay our attack time .

Next, your infantry brigade must closely follow the vanguard squadron, and the infantry artillery squadron that cooperated with you in the previous battles will also be dispatched to accompany your brigade.Once you are attacked, you must fight back decisively, understand? "

'Hi! '

After receiving the order, the infantry captain followed an infantry squadron on the road again.The scouts lurking in the dark quickly reported the news that the Japanese army was back on the road to the next ambush point.

The reconnaissance battalion commander who received the report quickly said: "Order the troops to enter the ambush position, and we have to treat these little devils who came to die. The troops in the forward position are ready to fight at any time!"

Not long after, the pioneer squadron, which served as the pioneer of the Japanese army, soon appeared in the sight of the sentry.A few scouts hiding in the trenches also calmly watched the sharp soldiers passing by under their noses.

Waiting for the infantry brigade following the vanguard squadron, and the advancing infantry artillery squadron following the infantry brigade, these scouts lurking in the trench carefully watched these troops step into their blasting area step by step.

With the last follow-up infantry artillery squadron, they also stepped into the blasting area.Several scouts who had already put their hands on the detonator looked at each other and nodded in agreement, "Detonate!"

Several detonators were pressed at the same time, followed by a series of currents.Originally, the vanguard squadron had passed by, and the road, which was not dangerous, was once again shrouded in explosions and gunpowder smoke.

The huge explosion made the vanguard squadrons walking in front turn around almost unanimously.Groups of huge fireworks that soared into the sky told the officers and soldiers of these vanguard squadrons that they almost passed the god of death just now.

The loud explosion sounded again, undoubtedly alarming the main force of the follow-up infantry brigade.One by one troops also rushed to the blast zone as quickly as possible, hoping to carry out rescue as soon as possible.

At this moment, the vanguard squadron, which had just been immersed in the explosion, suddenly saw bursts of gunshots coming from all directions.Suddenly, an Eighth Route Army soldier with a submachine gun sprang up from the flat ground that seemed to be innocuous.

They didn't have much time to react, and these Eighth Route Army soldiers who rushed out from both sides of the road came straight to the road where they were on in the smoke of gunpowder.Many Japanese soldiers were killed by these submachine gunners before they had time to react.

After the explosion, there was such a violent gunshot, which undoubtedly told the main force of the infantry brigade who came to support, the infantry brigade acting as the forward, was under the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army, and they must rush to reinforce as soon as possible.

'Quick!Our troops are under attack, speed up and run! '

An impatient Japanese officer yelled these words, while also urging the soldiers running on the road to speed up.If it was late, it is estimated that the infantry brigade in front would have been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

As the Japanese reinforcements quickly arrived at the explosion site, the assault scouts who had finished a round of offensive also quickly returned to the main position not far from the road.Some Japanese infantry who were pursuing also quickly realized that there was a blocking position ahead.

In this case, the Japanese stragglers who were pursuing them quickly withdrew.Report the situation to the captain of the infantry regiment who came for reinforcements one after another.The head of the infantry brigade was also a little surprised when he learned that there was an Eighth Route Army blocking position on the hill ahead.

But the accident was accidental. Considering that Zhengzhou is less than ten kilometers away, it is actually understandable for the Eighth Route Army to build a blocking position in this place.After all, they need to go through constant blocking, can they delay their marching time!

'Command the First Wing, and the Field Artillery Squadron is ready to attack immediately.Be sure to open the marching channel in the shortest possible time.We have lost a lot of time here, and we can't waste precious offensive time. '

It is clear that the main force of the division has also set off from Zhongmou. If they can't arrive before the main force of the division arrives, they will open up a safe passage for the main force.At that time, he, the head of the brigade, is afraid that he will inevitably be scolded by the head of the division.

As the brigade commander issued combat missions, a heavily armed infantry regiment quickly set up an offensive posture in front of the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army.The field artillery squadron that cooperated with him also chose the artillery position.

After the tentative attack, it was found out that the Eighth Route Army's blockade position in front of them was actually not many troops deployed, and the Japanese brigade commander who was watching the battle also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.He felt that it shouldn't take much time to take down this blocking position.

What they don't know is that the reconnaissance battalion commander, who has been paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army, is watching the Japanese army prepare to launch a real official attack.Sideways: "Prepare signal flares, the Japanese attack the anti-aircraft machine gun positions on both sides and start raiding!"

When the Japanese army blew the charge whistle, groups of Japanese troops began to charge towards the Eighth Route Army blocking positions against the artillery fire.The anti-aircraft machine gun platoon, which had been lurking on the left and right sides of the Japanese army for a long time, was also ready to shoot.

When the Japanese entered the range of the anti-aircraft machine guns, the Japanese attacking troops were surprised.At this time, two signal flares were suddenly fired from the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army.This made the Japanese attack a little surprised. What is the signal flare doing at this time?

While watching the battle from the rear, the head of the Japanese brigade and the regiment leader felt a little puzzled.On the two small slopes that looked peaceful on both sides of the road, there were sudden bursts of loud gunshots and a string of deadly flames.

The anti-aircraft machine gun imitated by the current arsenal can also reach a range of 1500 meters when it is adjusted to shoot flat.Four anti-aircraft machine guns were deployed in both positions, basically targeting the Japanese troops on the road and behind.

It's a pity that the Japanese army only focused on the Eighth Route Army who had set up a blocking position on the hill ahead.However, these two seemingly useless hillsides were ignored.But at this time, the hillside has become a deadly trap instead.

A series of violent tongues of flame spurted out, and huge machine gun bullets interrupted the astonished Japanese infantry one by one.As long as they are hit by a bullet, these little devils will not die or be seriously injured.
