Linhuai Pass, the north bank of the Huai River, is flat and has large mudflats without any obstruction.

It is most suitable to use this place as a landing place for crossing the river, but one thing is that there is no obstruction and there are not many suitable bunkers around.

Once discovered by the defenders in advance, they will inevitably be shot and killed by the defenders.

Fortunately, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and the dark night provided excellent cover for the Japanese army's actions.

However, due to the poor visible conditions, it is difficult for the Japanese to detect some pits on the river bank and tidal flats.

Suddenly, more than a dozen Japanese Japanese who were walking in front of him were caught off guard and fell into the pit dug by the various battalions of the Tiger Ben regiment.

"Baga! There is a pit, save me, save me..."

These unlucky Japanese devils eagerly called on other companions to come and rescue them.

"Come over and save them!"

A Japanese captain who was accompanying him lowered his voice and ordered the soldiers next to him to go and save people.

A group of devils walked forward carefully.

However, before they could get close to their companions who were trapped in the mud pit, the Japanese who went to rescue also fell into the surrounding water and pits.

"Baga! These Chinese defenders are really cunning, very hateful!"

The Japanese captain couldn't help but curse when he saw his subordinates falling into mud pits one by one.

The depth of these mud pits is more than 1.5 meters, and the pits are covered with silt.

The Japanese all have short legs, most of whom are less than 1.5 meters tall, and those who are more than 1.6 meters tall are rare.

Once the Japanese fell down, they would sink deeper and deeper like they fell into a swamp. If there were no one to rescue them, it would be almost impossible to crawl out of it.

"Ya...Ya Fen Butterfly! Save, save...Save me..."

Because of their short figure, several Japanese soldiers struggled unwillingly in the pit for a while, and their whole body was completely swallowed by the mud.

Seeing this, the Japanese behind did not dare to get close at all, so they could only untie the gun belt and extend the distance to save people.

The effect of pits to kill enemies is indeed not very large, far less than mines, and excavation is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Of course, Yang Jing's order to dig the pit was not to cause much casualties to the Japanese army.

It is purely to show that the enemy is weak, so that the Japanese have the illusion that the Tiger Ben Group is short of supplies and cannot even arrange the minefield intact.

This allows the Japanese army to charge forward with confidence and boldness.

Of course, these pits have another function, that is, when the Japanese army is blocked and attempts to retreat, the Japanese can be effectively intercepted.

It took the Japanese a half hour to land on the north bank of the Huai River, but it took them an hour to save people.

Knowing that there was a trap ahead, the Japanese commander who led the team began to think carefully, thinking about these obstacles.

Although the Japanese devils are short and look abnormal in development, they are definitely not stupid.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to develop into a military power that can dominate Asia with a few small islands with barren materials.

After thinking for a few minutes, the Japanese commander thought of a good idea.

"Everyone is lying on the ground, crawling forward in a low position, hurry up! Quickly!"

Under the command of the commander, the Japanese soldiers lay down on the ground one by one, crawling forward slowly like bed bugs.

I have to say that this Japanese commander is indeed very smart. This idea is very practical and scientific.

When a person's body lies on the ground, it can greatly increase the area of ​​the ground and prevent the body from sinking into the mud pit.

Due to the slowdown, they can also discover traps hidden on the ground in time and circle around.

The Japanese were covered in mud, crawling in a mess, cursing the damn Chinese defenders in a low voice, and exhaling their anger on the words "Baga Yalu".

These Japanese devils who crossed the river beach at night thought they were covered by night, and the Chinese defenders across the river bank would not notice them at all.

Little did they know that the Hu Ben Group had already equipped advanced black technology products such as the Glimmer Night Vision Telescope.

The Japanese who thought they had the cover of the night were like a group of clowns who were naked and without shorts, and had nowhere to hide in the eyes of the sentries on the Tiger Regiment.

An hour ago, when the first batch of Japanese devils had just crossed the river, Yang Jing received a call from the sentry on duty at the front line.

After being woken up, Yang Jing cursed and got up in dress.

Then all the military chiefs of each battalion company were called up and a simple deployment of a combat plan.

It has to be said that the Japanese will launch a night attack, which is really beyond Yang Jing's expectations.

Because, in his cognition, the Japanese seldom took the initiative to launch night battles.

At night, strategic troops such as the Japanese aviation and field artillery were unable to participate in the war, providing effective fire support to the offensive troops.

Therefore, the Japanese army usually stops the war after dark and waits for dawn the next day before continuing to launch an attack.

Fortunately, Yang Jing dug a pit on the river beach in advance and deployed a minefield, which effectively delayed the Japanese's propulsion speed.

Otherwise, even if the sentry on duty can detect the Japanese's attack in time, they will be caught off guard by the Japanese because they are not prepared.

Even if you can defeat the invading enemy in the end, the losses in it are something that Yang Jing is unwilling to bear.

…………

"These Japanese guys' heads are so smart that they know that crawling in a low position increases the contact area between their bodies and the ground, and pass through the pit, haha!"

Yang Jing held up the glimmer night vision telescope to observe, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and showed a sinister sneer like a fox on his face.

His smile means that the Japanese in front of him are not far from death.

"Rake your ears and send orders down, the frontline soldiers are ready for battle, and equip tracer bullets to indicate lighting!

Then the 1st Company of Artillery was ordered to launch flares and the 2nd Company of Artillery bomb the Japanese attack troops!

The 3rd Artillery Company knocked out all the ships docked on the river bank for me. I threw all these Japanese devils into the Huaihe River to feed the fish, so that they would never return!"

"Yes, the group!"

Ma Tong, Bai Laosan, Shi Yibiao, Niu Dazhuang and others waved the phone and immediately conveyed Yang Jing's orders to the frontline departments.

...

The Japanese soldiers under the 6th Japanese Infantry Regiment, the 1st and 2nd Battalions finally passed through the pit defense line set up by the Hu Ben Regiment, but their nightmare had just begun.

Under Yang Jing's instructions, each battalion of the Hu Ben Regiment deployed a large minefield 50 meters north of the pit.

The Japanese did not recognize the marks on the mines, and finally crossed the pit areas that looked like nightmares.

They immediately accelerated and pushed forward, thinking in their hearts that they must teach the hateful Chinese soldiers ahead a lesson.

The Japanese rushing in front quickly rushed into the minefield.

"boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Suddenly, an explosion sounded from the second line of defense on the north bank of the river beach.

Fires rising into the sky suddenly rose from the ground, illuminating the entire river beach like daylight.

Large areas of pebbles and mud on the river beach, accompanied by the huge shock waves generated by the explosion, splashing around with countless mines and fragments.

More than 100 Japanese devils who opened the road ahead were the first to be killed by landmines.

Near the river beach is an open area with no cover around it. The fragments of landmines can achieve the maximum killing effect.

"ah!"

"Uh, uh!"

"Yafen Butterfly! Save me, save me!"

The 6th Infantry Regiment Japanese soldiers fell in groups on the river beach, screaming shrillly.

It’s like the New Year in the village, and the New Year pigs are collectively slaughtered, it’s very lively.

Dozens of Japanese devils were killed on the spot, and some even more were directly blown into the air by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and then fell heavily back to the ground like a dead dog.

Another part of the Japanese fell to the ground in pain.

Some Japanese were blown up with their legs broken, some were blown up with their eyes blind, and some were blown up with their dying silence.

Lying on the ground, squirming in pain, and not even having the strength to make a scream, he could only whimper in his throat.

"Baga! There are mines, mines, retreat, retreat quickly!"——"

The Japanese who were not killed by landmines fell to the ground, looking around in horror.

"Baga, the road! These damn Chinese people are really hateful!"

The Japanese commander wiped off the mud and sand from his eyes, pulled out the assistant sword from his waist, waved forward, pulled his neck and ordered at the top of his lungs: "The fearless imperial warriors, take the Chinese army position in front!"

"Kill the chicken!"

"Kill the chicken and give it to you!"

About one squadron, with about 200 Japanese devils acting as suicide squads, scattered forward in scattered lines, and used their flesh and blood to thunder.

The Japanese soldiers, especially those in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, have been completely brainwashed by the jun nationalist ideas, and are unyielding fanatics and fearless war machines.
