While the monk led the second combat group, he used sparrow warfare to delay the pace of the Japanese and puppet troops along the way.
Kong Jie has led the first and third combat groups and successfully moved to the second turning point on the mountain road leading to Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village.
"Squad Leader Seven and Squad Eight, lead everyone to dig some soil pits in the middle of the road and then fill them in again."
"Yes!" Wang Yuan and Song Tian responded, turned around and went to prepare.
While digging holes on the road, Luo Siwa couldn't help but ask: "Captain, what are we digging holes for?"
"Bury the mine!" Kong Jie said.
"Planting mines? But we just dug out the holes and then filled them in, and we didn't bury the mines?"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "This is the principle of war that never tires of deceit. It is commonly known as fooling the devils. In war, as long as it can deal with the enemy's means, it is a good means.
What little devils fear most when entering a village is landmines.
Although we don't have landmines on hand, we can dig some pits like this and bury them again.
When the Japanese passed by, they saw traces of plowed soil on the surface of the road. They would definitely suspect that there were landmines buried inside, and they would never dare to go over there again.
This little devil can only send engineers to clear the mines bit by bit, and the steps have to stop, which gives us the best opportunity to sneak attack on the devils."
Luo Siwa and Zheng Gui nodded, feeling that they had learned a lot.
Kong Jie said: "After digging the hole, don't put anything in it. Feel for any metal on your body. Just throw some in. The Japanese mine detector will be able to detect it. It will also confuse the little Japanese."<
/p>
"In addition, if there are landmines buried on the road, the Japanese may choose to pass through the slopes on both sides of the mountain road and dig some pits on the slopes to make some traces."
"Yes!" Wang Yuan responded.
Laying mines is slow, but digging holes is fast. It took a few minutes.
After everyone finished setting up, they dug a hole and buried it.
The traces are quite obvious.
Some are connected and some are scattered. At first glance, it really looks like there are landmines laid along the way.
After that, Kong Jie tied three grenades under the tree trunks on the south side of the mountain road and used them as cluster grenades.
These are the grenades gathered from the third combat group.
Then I borrowed some string from the folks in the village to fix one end of the grenade, then tied the detonator ring at the other end to the string, and quietly released the line to a distance of more than thirty meters.
Ready.
……
"Withdraw, let's start fighting according to the previous battle plan."
After Kong Jie issued the order, the first combat group continued to ambush on the south side of the road, and the third combat group ambush on the north side of the road.
Before the two sides separated, Kong Jie distributed some of the seized guns and ammunition to members of the third combat team.
The old blacksmith of the third combat group, Wang Xizhan, also has a rifle in his hands.
On Kong Jie's side, all members also have rifles.
On the mountain road, I saw the team dragging more and more wounded soldiers forward.
The Japanese squad leader Yokoyama Yunhei, while angry, could not help but have the idea of retreating.
As for the corpses being collected, bringing them along will only slow down the pace.
Yokoyama Yunping ordered it to be temporarily placed on the mountain road.
Wait until the village is wiped out, then bring the soldiers' bodies with you when you return.
This Japanese squad led by Yokoyama Yunhei is the infantry under the Japanese B Division.
He is not considered an elite, and his will to fight is not very firm.
On the way to Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village, there were setbacks along the way.
The morale of both Japanese and puppet soldiers has been depleted a lot.
After encountering surprise attacks along the way, Yokoyama Yunhei also realized that these roads were far more difficult than he imagined.
"Platoon Leader Cao, the Imperial Army has suffered heavy casualties. Now it's time for your Imperial Army to serve the Imperial Army. You lead the team in front, and let's speed up the pace.
The Tuba Road on this road was difficult to deal with, so we rushed to Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village as quickly as possible and quickly uprooted the two villages. After completing the tasks of our superiors, we retreated."
"Yes!"
Yokoyama Yunhei said so hard that Cao Zhengxiang could only agree.
Along the way, the second combat group led by the monk picked on the Japanese.
Therefore, the current casualty situation of the Japanese army is not much better than that of the puppet army.
The number of wounded has increased from the initial three to twelve now.
If the fighting continues like this, the entire Japanese squad may be dragged down by the wounded and unable to fight.
Yokoyama Yunhei gritted his teeth and gave up the idea of retreating.
He made sure to work hard, quickly get rid of these Tuba Road, and rushed to Xiaonan Xiaobei Village.
In this regard, Yokoyama Yunhei is very thorough:
"Tubal Road just wants to delay the pace of our army, but there is no smooth road on the mountain road. As long as we speed up, it will definitely be faster than Tubal Road. Send the order and the team will move forward at full speed and head towards the village!"
"Hi!"
After the order was issued, the Japanese and puppet troops moved much faster.
The puppet troops led the way, while the wounded of the Japanese and puppet troops were all placed at the back of the team.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers carrying the wounded could only grit their teeth and persist.
In this way, the entire Japanese and puppet army team quickly arrived at the second turning point on the mountain road.
After quickly approaching the second turning point, the advancing team was suddenly frightened to a halt by the scream of a puppet soldier in the front row.
"Landmines, there are landmines!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of the Japanese and puppet soldiers were all tense.
When raiding villages, the easiest thing to encounter is landmines.
In this regard, the Japanese and puppet troops have always felt the same way.
The landmines on Tuba Road are simply impossible to guard against.
At the beginning of the village, at the end of the village, in the village, there may be one or two landmines hidden in the house, on the door, in the water tank, or even in the kitchen.
I accidentally went to report to Lord Yama.
Yokoyama Yunhei arrived with his engineering team, and sure enough he saw many traces of plowed soil on the road.
This is going to be troublesome now.
"These damn Tubal roads actually have landmines planted on them."
Yokoyama Yunhei yelled and asked the engineers to come forward to clear the mines.
The Japanese engineers inspected several locations where the soil had been renovated, but no mines were found.
Yokoyama Yunhei was a little suspicious.
Cao Zhengxiang said: "Taijun, this Tuba Road is the most cunning. Could it be that the traces were deliberately made to confuse us?"
"Xinxi, it's very possible."
Before he finished speaking, the Japanese engineer who was holding a mine detector suddenly shouted in Japanese: "There is a reaction!"
Mines!
Landmines were actually laid.
The Japanese engineers did not dare to delay any longer, so they knelt down on the spot and carefully cleared the mines with their hands.
Bang bang——
The gunfire rang out, and the two Japanese engineers fell down.
Luo Siwa, who opened fire together, looked at the Japanese who fell on the ground in disbelief.
He was immediately overjoyed, and he also got a hit, although he only hit the Japanese guy's thigh.
After a successful attack, Kong Jie led Luo Siwa to retreat quickly.
"Good job!" Kong Jie smiled and praised during the evacuation.
Yunping Hengshan, who had been vigilant when the engineers were demining, immediately directed the machine gunners to counterattack in the direction of Kong Jie and Luo Siwa's sneak attack.
The bullets broke the trees.
History is surprisingly similar. Bullets are banging, but there is no trace of the enemy.
Yokoyama Yunhei was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
He knew that the things before him were not that simple.
There are actually landmines laid by Tubal Road here, and there is probably an ambush on Tubal Road.
"Platoon Leader Cao, it seems that there are more Tuba Road than we expected."
Indeed, along the way, this Japanese and puppet army team has been constantly attacked.
Although people everywhere shoot and run, they shoot in twos and threes every time.
Calculated in this way, the strength of Kong Jie's three combat groups is very confusing.
Unable to figure out the situation, Yokoyama Yunhei naturally overestimated his troop strength.
He thought there were at least twenty to thirty Tubalu.
The most hateful thing is that these bullies run away after fighting, and they always shoot suddenly and irregularly from all directions, making it impossible to defend against them.
The same is true in front of them. Because of the traces of turned soil, the Japanese and puppet troops are hindered by the minefields that may be laid in front of them.
He was forced to stop and was ambushed by Tubal Road on both sides of the mountain forest.
Kong Jie quickly evacuated after succeeding in the sneak attack.
The seventh squad leader of the third combat group, Wang Yuan, and others dispersed the members of the combat group in various directions and fired at the Japanese from time to time.
Target the Japanese engineers first.
In the third combat team, Wang Yuan, Song Tian, and Li Pingan are all shooting masters.
For every three sneak attacks, one or two were successful.
Then, Zhang Xizhan, the old blacksmith who got the gun, surprised everyone. His marksmanship was also good.
Three bullets killed one Jaap and wounded another.
After this series of sneak attacks, there were many casualties in the Japanese army, and Yokoyama Yunping was so angry that he screamed.
