The deputy captain then reminded: "But, if the captain and engineers clear mines, the mines used by the Eighth Route Army are all ceramic shells, and the mine removal rate is too slow."

"Let's clear the mines first. When we arrive at the first village in front, we will catch some people in the village and open the way for us, we don't have to be afraid of landmines from the Eighth Route Army?" The captain ordered with a murderous look on his face.

The deputy captain quickly replied: "The captain is wise! The Eighth Route Army has always been known for protecting the Chinese people. If the Chinese people come to the front to open the road, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not dare to lay mines anymore! Otherwise, the mines will be the first to blow up their own people!"

Ten minutes later, the Japanese army continued to march forward.

At this time, Changlin had already led the guerrillas to re-arrange a mine formation for the Japanese and puppet troops. This time, Changlin took out three mines at a time and prepared a serial thunder for the Japanese.

"Comrade Changlin, have the Japanese entered the minefield?" Captain Zhong of the guerrilla team said with anticipation and concern.

Changlin replied confidently: "Captain Zhong, don't worry, these three mines will definitely cause heavy losses to the Japanese!"

Soon, the Japanese stepped on the first landmine, and Captain Zhong and all the guerrillas under his command also felt in their throats, fearing that the mine would explode.

"Fortunately, there was no explosion!" The squadron leader breathed a sigh of relief and looked forward even more.

The second mine still did not explode.

The third landmine, the squadron leader and his subordinates' hearts once again raised to their throats.

This time, the mine exploded.

"Boom!" A violent explosion rang out on the road and reached Captain Zhong's ears.

"Boom!" Before I could be happy, two explosions came.

The Japanese and puppet troops around the three mines were blown up in pieces in the explosion, and three bomb craters that were deeper than one meter and were directly burned, which shows how powerful these mines are.

"Baga, why are there landmines on the road? And three landmines exploded together. How did the Eighth Route Army do it!" The lieutenant captain shouted with a pale face.

The explosion of the three mines in the front has caused the vanguard troops to lose more than 20%. Now there are corpses and wounded people falling all over the ground. At a glance, you can tell that there have been 50 casualties, including nearly 20 of the Imperial Army.

Apart from these people, there were only a few people left in the entire vanguard army. As the commander of the vanguard army, the lieutenant had the idea of ​​committing suicide. Looking at the bloody scene in front of him, his face was pale and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The Japanese brigade captain soon received the news and rushed over directly under the protection of the guards.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he was stunned for half a minute before he realized it. He cursed: "Ba Geyalu, the cunning Eighth Route Army, I want to kill all of you!"

"Captain, do you want to order the engineers to go ahead to clear mines!" The deputy captain reminded with a serious look on his face.

"Minere sweeping, after sweeping the mines on the highway, the Tujiao Route Army had already been wiped out by other troops!" The captain cursed angrily.

Then he ordered with a ruthless look on his face: "The Second Squadron gave up the road, walked on the wheat fields to the village in front, and caught fifty Chinese people for me. Don't Tujiao Route Army like to bury mines? Then we will use the Chinese people to go to the front to bury mines for us. The mines in the hands of the old Tujiao Route Army are still the Chinese people around, go and execute them immediately!"

"Hi!" The deputy captain immediately took the order.

But not long after, the second squadron came back, and returned in a desperate situation. He carried more than a dozen wounded and bodies, and ran back with a low morale.

"What's going on? What about the casualties? What about the Chinese people? Why didn't the Chinese people I want to catch them back?" The captain looked like an angry lion and asked back at the squadron leader.

The squadron leader lowered his head and replied: "When we arrived at the village, the village was empty, there was no Chinese man, and there was not even a dog."

"As for the casualties, we encountered the Turkish Eighth Route Guerrillas, which were caused by them with cold guns!"

"Then have you sent troops to destroy them?" the captain asked back with his angry eyes.

"Please punish the leader, we did not destroy them! These eighth ranks of the country are too cunning, they are again after the battle, and they are particularly scattered. The humble official sent troops to pursue them, but they were lost after chasing them for a few minutes, and they had no effect at all!" The squadron leader's head lowered even lower.

As the squadron leader of the Imperial Army field troops, the squadron leader has never fought such a frustrating battle. If you are angry, no one is more angry than him. But the guerrillas are too cunning. Whether it is guerrilla warfare like cold guns and cold cannons, or the mobile warfare that seizes the opportunity and rushes to bite him, it makes him exhausted!

"This must be a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army. Without the Chinese people's way, just by engineers clearing mines, the road that could be completed in one day may not be completed in five days!" The deputy captain reacted and shouted anxiously.

The captain's face was extremely gloomy, and it took five minutes to react: "Bageya Road, this encirclement and suppression operation is an excellent opportunity for us to eliminate the Independent Regiment. There must be no accidents. I will contact the General immediately to see what the general has to do. The entire encirclement and suppression operation must not have accidents because of us!"

Soon, the deputy captain walked over with a heavy face.

"Captain, General, call back."

"The other three offensive troops also encountered the same problems as us. It is obvious that the Eighth Route Army was prepared for our sweep this time!"

The captain was obviously relieved. As long as the problem of the sweeping problem was not caused by himself, nothing was wrong.

Then he stared at the deputy captain and asked, "What do you think of the general!"

"Hi!" the deputy captain replied immediately.

"Your Excellency General said that since the Tujiao Route Army has been prepared for our sweep, we must be careful in the next sweep!"

"The fourth-root offensive troops maintain the current level. If you want to clear mines, it doesn't matter if you want to clear mines. The distance between the fourth-root offensive troops must not be widened. No offensive troops in the whole line cannot stand out alone to avoid being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yoxi, General, you are very considerate. We will do what you said! Order the engineers to start mine clearance immediately!"

"Also, the formation of the avant-garde troops should be as scattered as possible, and even if they encounter landmines, the losses will be very small!"

The deputy captain whispered: "Captain, should we order the Imperial Army to open the way in front, so that the losses of our Imperial Army will be minimized!"

"No!" the captain refused without hesitation.

"Everyone knows that when you open the road ahead, you may step on a landmine and lose your life at any time. Send the Imperial Army alone, isn't that clear to tell them that the Imperial Army is letting them be scapegoats! The Imperial Army still needs them in the next battle, and they cannot be separated from the Imperial Army for the time being!"
Chapter completed!
