Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

After thinking for a while, he said, "Order one regiment and one battalion to carry a batch of landmines and lay mines in areas where the Japanese supply convoy may pass. In addition, take the explosives we brought and send an engineer to arrange them.

No matter what these little devils are here for, we must stop them and not let them pass easily.Even if the buried mines are not effective for the time being, I believe it can also prevent the Japanese army from retreating and supporting. "

After this order was issued, the First Cavalry Division also launched a mine-laying operation on the grassland.Just for the sake of safety, when the Eighth Route Army laid mines, it also marked the places that were about to become minefields.

If these landmines fail to play a role in the future, they will also send engineers to dismantle or blast them.Fortunately, there are no herdsmen in this grassland at the moment, and there is no need to worry about accidentally injuring the herdsmen.

In this way, the supply troops marching behind the Japanese army division, as usual, walked unhappily, and seemed to continue to move forward cautiously.The result was unexpected, and they soon felt the power of the mines.

Watching the lead car being blown away by landmines, the Japanese army escorting the convoy quickly launched defenses.What makes them depressed is that when they launched their defense, they also couldn't see the incoming Eighth Route Army around them.

After waiting for a while, I found that there were really no Eighth Route Army cavalry units around.The escorted Japanese and puppet troops had no choice but to move on, but from time to time they were terrified by landmines.

Many puppet soldiers from the Manchukuo also said with regret: "Damn, the Eighth Route Army is really daring to prevent us from transporting supplies! Mines are planted everywhere, and this pasture will probably become a restricted area in the future. .”

The hazards and lethality of landmines are more or less known to these puppet troops.But in the eyes of these puppet troops, the Eighth Route Army did not do well in planting mines everywhere.Such an approach is likely to make this grassland completely deserted.

After all, no herdsman wants to graze on landmines.So the actions of the Eighth Route Army undoubtedly meant killing one thousand enemies and harming eight hundred.But the ones who suffer in the end are probably the herdsmen who used to graze here! (To be continued.) 8

Chapter 45 Abandoned Ranch!

It is naturally a very unpleasant thing to lay mines wantonly on the grassland.But during the war years, no one cared about things like damaging the environment or damaging the grassland scenery.What's more, He Zhengdao also made a special confession earlier.

After the battle was over, the engineers would remove the mines that had been buried in the grassland earlier, as long as they were not triggered.At least He Zhengdao didn't want to see this originally beautiful grassland become a restricted area.

But this way of fighting really made the supply team feel helpless.Even the puppet Manchukuo cavalry who served as the patrol guard for the convoy were worried when they were patrolling, for fear that the horses they stepped off would suddenly step on the landmines buried under the turf.

Knowing that the supply team encountered such a situation, Naito Masaichi, who was leading the main force of the division to Xilinhot, also felt very helpless when he learned that this specially formed supply team encountered such a situation.

Looking at the chief of staff beside him, he asked, "Do you think that Eighth Road will know, is that our lure?"

Faced with such an inquiry, the chief of staff of the division also hesitated and said: "General, this should not be possible! Perhaps the Eighth Route Cavalry did not dare to face our escort troops, so they thought of such a method of harassment!

General, I think it is better for the escort troops to find a relatively safe place to rest than to let the escort continue to move forward.As long as you follow behind the main force of the division, I believe their existence will also make the Eighth Route Army feel uneasy.

As long as the Eighth Route Cavalry launches an attack, I believe our escort troops will give the attacking Eighth Route Army a pleasant surprise.Even if the Eighth Route Cavalry does not attack, it will be beneficial for the main force if they stay behind us. "

In fact, after entering the Xilin Gol Grassland, Masaichi Naito also felt that there were always eight cavalry troops following behind him.This kind of cavalry followed and reconnaissance really made him feel a little uneasy.

Now this escort force dispatched from the Xing'an League is not actually escorting the so-called supplies.Their purpose of entering the Xilin Gol Grassland was to lure the Eighth Route cavalry troops to encircle and suppress them.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army did not take the bait now, which really made Naito Masaichi very helpless.But as the chief of staff of the division said, having such a cavalry and infantry unit behind them can also make them feel more at ease in the front.

Looking at this supply team that has suffered from landmines, the speed of progress slowed down.The Eighth Route Army scouts who had been observing the convoy gradually realized that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that if the things escorted by this convoy are the materials needed by the Japanese army division in front.Then the supply team should march faster and join the main force of the division as soon as possible to hand over the supplies.

But right now, the little devil's convoy stops and stops, as if he is not worried about the cavalry raid of the Eighth Route Army.This unusual situation made the cavalry commander feel that there was something wrong with the convoy transporting supplies.

'Bring me the map!spread out! '

The cavalry division commander, who also did not have a fixed headquarters, also set up his headquarters on horseback.There he was, and the headquarters of the cavalry division was there.With the radio station carried, the cavalry division commander can also report the situation to the front commander of the army at any time.

If there are any orders, he can also use the radio to issue them to the cavalry regiment of the division headquarters.This method of mobile combat and command is also the combat command mode often used by cavalry divisions, and it is not easy to be targeted by little devils.

After looking at the map drawn by the scouts after they entered the Xilin Gol Grassland, the cavalry commander pointed to a place and said, "Order the engineer battalion to mobilize troops as quickly as possible, and go here to bury the detonating device."

The chief of staff who stood aside hesitated a little and said, "Master, do you think the little devil's convoy will rest here?"

'Probably!Judging from the route they traveled, this abandoned pasture should be the best place for them to rest.Although there is no one living there, the walls and simple houses from earlier are still there.

If you were the commander of this escorting force, if you chose a safe campsite at night, would you choose to camp in the wild, or would you choose to rest in this pasture with a strong pass? '

After such an analysis, the chief of staff also felt that the division commander's analysis made sense.Although this kind of ambush is somewhat of a gambling nature.But once the bet is correct, one can imagine the fate of this Japanese supply unit!

As the cavalry commander thought, when fighting in the field in the grassland area, although many troops will carry tents.But compared to living in a house, living in a tent is somewhat uncomfortable.

Moreover, there are more wolves in the grassland area. Once you encounter a large group of prairie wolves, it will be a headache.In contrast, wolves generally dare not approach human settlements easily if there are narrow walls blocking them.

After the deployment of the engineer battalion, the abandoned pasture in front of the escorting troops quickly became a blasting field that could be detonated at any time.As for the trigger for the detonation, it was naturally pulled far away from the pasture by the engineer battalion.

After burying the detonators together, the engineer battalion quickly left the abandoned pasture.Before night fell, a patrol squad of puppet Manchurian cavalry appeared on the outskirts of the ranch.

Looking at the quiet pasture, the cavalry captain said, "Two people, see if there is anyone in the pasture?"

During the time they entered the grassland, they found that the grassland, where many herdsmen used to be active, turned out to be empty.If it weren't for the existence of these abandoned pastures, many Manchukuo cavalry would think that they came to the wrong place!

After the three cavalry rode their horses into the ranch, after some inspection, they said helplessly, "Platoon leader, it's another abandoned ranch. It seems that the herdsmen who used to live here were all captured by the Eighth Route Army."

Even if these cavalrymen knew in their hearts, the Eighth Route Army would definitely remove the herdsmen living here.But in their mouths, relocation turned into arrest.By doing this, I also hope to discredit the Eighth Route Army and sow hatred for the Eighth Route Army!

Hearing this, the cavalry platoon leader quickly said: "Looking at the weather, we probably won't be able to go too far. When the convoy arrives, we may have to find a place to rest. Check carefully, and if there is nothing wrong Send the message back!"

With such instructions from the platoon leader, many puppet Manchukuo cavalry also felt that this formerly large pasture was indeed a good habitat.With a simple modification, it can also be turned into a wild military camp.

If there is a pass wall to cover them, it will be safer for them to patrol at night.If they are patrolling in the wild, they are also worried that the eight-way scout cavalry who come and go from time to time will suddenly touch them.

During the time when they entered the grassland, there were also many sentinels who were shot and killed by the Eighth Route Army with bows and crossbows at night.So much so that now these cavalry on duty at night at the stalls dare not go too far from the camp, for fear that they will not be able to return if they go far.

After some inspection, the cavalry platoon leader felt that this ranch was indeed suitable for their escort troops to rest.In addition to the narrow walls blocking the surroundings, those abandoned houses are much more comfortable than living in tents.

If given a choice, none of them would want to come to this grassland to fight or perform duties.Staying in the city where they were on duty before, they feel more at ease and more at ease.Not long after, the cavalry platoon leader sent two cavalry back to report.

The captain of the Japanese army, who was in charge of escorting the troops, didn't think much about it after hearing the news.Having received a telegram from Masaichi Naito earlier, they did not need to continue to follow the main force of the division, but chose a place to rest and wait for the siege of the Eighth Route Army.

After listening to the report from the sentinel, the captain of the Japanese army also said very carefully: "Have you checked the abandoned pasture carefully?"

'Yes, Taijun!Our platoon leader personally inspected it. The ranch is quite large, and it used to be the location of a general flag.A narrow wall of nearly two meters was built outside the ranch, and some houses inside the ranch are well preserved. '

It is also clear that these little devils, who ran from the city to the grassland this time, are not used to living in that kind of field tent.The words of the patrolling sentinel really moved the heart of the regiment leader who also wanted to take a good rest.

It didn't take long for the Japanese joint captain to quickly order the convoy to speed up.When the convoy arrived at the outskirts of the ranch, a Japanese cavalry unit also entered the ranch for inspection.After confirming that there was no problem, the team quickly drove into the ranch.

After parking all the cars in the usual playground of the ranch, the Japanese army captain who got out of the car looked at the abandoned ranch with satisfaction.He felt that this place could also be turned into a military camp.

Thinking of Naito Masaichi's order, the captain also said in a timely manner: "Let our cavalry unit conduct a patrol around the ranch to see if there are Eighth Route cavalry within five miles around.

The rest of the infantry began to choose a place to camp, and also arranged for troops to go up the pass wall and prepare to stand guard.This place is good, with a simple renovation, it can also be used as a temporary camp for our troops to rest here for two days. "

'Hi! '

The staff officer around him quickly issued the order of the regimental captain.The officers and soldiers of the escorting troop also seemed very happy when they learned that they no longer had to worry about going on their way.Although it looks like here, it still looks a bit desolate and uninhabited.

But with their presence, there is no shortage of supplies for the time being, and these officers and soldiers also feel very satisfied that they can have a safe shelter to rest for two days.For a while, the entire ranch camp became lively.

When these little devils and the puppet army were happy, several cavalry squads of the Eighth Route Army all saw this escort troop enter this abandoned ranch.After confirming that these little devils would not come out, the cavalry scouts of the Eighth Route Army were also very happy.

After the news reached the division headquarters, the cavalry commander also said excitedly: "Haha, I finally made the right bet this time! Chief of Staff, send me an order. The Second Cavalry Regiment is going to encircle and suppress these little devils tonight!"
