The reason was that Li Yunlong sent a platoon to lay mines on the road between Maweipo and Yunjing City.
At this time, all kinds of mines were used, including bullet mines, jumping mines, wooden shell mines... All the mines carried by the whole regiment were carried by the platoon to the road. Anyway, there was no need for mines to attack Yunjing County.
There is no need to deploy too many landmines, what is needed is a few of these and those that should be deployed all the way to Yunjing County.
Murano Naoka's troops are in a tough situation.
The reason is that the mines are very scattered and the types of mines are complicated. Bullet mines can hit car tires, jumping mines can fry fuel tanks, and wooden shell mines can directly blow away car wheels...
This made it difficult for Murano Naoka to move forward and had to mobilize several tanks to clear the way ahead.
At this time Murano Naoka realized that it was very unlikely that reinforcements could be rushed to Yunjing, so he hurriedly reported the situation to Adachi 23... The scope of Murano Naoka's command and control was the Yunjing County area, and other places were controlled by Adachi 23
Thirteen Command.
As soon as Anda 23 heard that the Eighth Route Army was moving to attack Yunjing County, he immediately opened the map and dispatched reinforcements.
But what disappointed Anda Twenty-three was that because the empire had spared its troops to launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army, the troops in the rear were very empty. Only military stations fifty kilometers away could send reinforcements... The Japanese military stations were set up about fifty kilometers away.
The stronghold provides timely ammunition, supplies, maintenance, etc. to the surrounding areas.
Adachi 23 did not hesitate and immediately ordered the Iwasa Brigade from the military station to rush to Yunjing County for reinforcements.
According to Adachi Twenty-san's opinion, the distance between the two places is only fifty kilometers, and the Iwasa Brigade can reach it in less than an hour by driving at full speed.
Yunjing County has high walls and thick walls, and with the defense of dozens of imperial soldiers and more than a hundred "Peaceful National Founding Army", an hour should not be a big problem.
How could Anda Twenty-Three have imagined that the hundreds of "peaceful founding troops" in Yunjing County could not be counted in the imperial military strength at all, but would instead become part of the Eighth Route Army during wartime.
Therefore, his estimate was very different.
Adachi Twenty-san miscalculated, and Captain Iwasa Tsujio, who was ordered to go for reinforcements, was of course unable to correctly estimate the situation.
The order Iwasa Cixiong received was: "Yunjing County is attacked by the Eighth Route Army. Bring your troops and rush for reinforcements!"
"Yes!" Iwasa Cixiong responded, and then shouted outside without thinking: "Emergency gathering!"
A rapid whistle sounded immediately outside the headquarters, and more than 900 imperial soldiers immediately gathered from all directions. When Iwasa Tsujio put on his military cap and hung up his command sword and walked out, well-trained soldiers were already lined up and waiting.
He reviewed.
Iwasa didn't say anything, because he knew that time is life, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Get in the car!"
The staff officer immediately conveyed Iwasa's order: "Everyone! Get in the car!"
The Japs' mechanized infantry were in some confusion.
This may be related to the fact that the Japanese do not have their own cars and use American-style cars... If they use their own cars, they can customize the size of the car according to their own organization. Using American-style cars will inevitably cause some minor problems.
For example, the Japs' organization is that a squad is divided into three teams, each team has 13 people.
An American-style car can hold thirty people. Is it better to hold two teams of 26 people, or is it better to disassemble one team and fill them all up?
The former will cause a waste of transportation capacity.
The latter will cause confusion in the organization... A small team is a whole when fighting, but it has to be split into two vehicles, which is obviously not conducive to coordination.
Is it possible to change the organization of the army because of cars? This is even more like cutting off the foot to fit the shoes.
Fortunately, the Japs have more than three squads, and they also have a 7-man squad headquarters and an 8-man grenade squad.
So the transportation was distributed like this: one vehicle carried two infantry detachments, a total of 26 people, and the other vehicle carried an infantry detachment and the squad headquarters plus a grenade detachment, a total of 28 people.
Although some transport capacity was wasted, the extra space was used to carry some ammunition and supplies, and occasionally tow a 92 infantry gun, and it was barely solved.
If this were the case in modern times, a military vehicle would transport a platoon in unison.
In just a few minutes, all the imperial soldiers got into the cars. Iwasa gave an order, and more than thirty cars increased their power and sped towards Yunjing County.
Captain Iwasa thinks this way:
The opponent is the Eighth Route Army, and of course they will not have any heavy equipment. In addition, they are attacking the city, so as soon as more than 900 people drive past, the Eighth Route Army will immediately face the unfavorable situation of internal and external attacks.
Therefore, Iwasa Cixiong believed that the most important thing in this mission was speed. As long as the speed was fast enough to reach Yunjing in time, the Eighth Route Army would flee when they saw them coming from a distance.
Therefore, along the way, Tsuguo Iwasa kept urging the team to speed up.
The road was built by the Japanese to supply troops and ammunition to the blockade. It was very demanding. It was not only straight but also very spacious, and could accommodate three cars passing through at the same time.
Therefore, the convoy drove all the way to Yunjing County on the highway for sixty or seventy yards, and it was estimated that it would only take forty minutes to reach Yunjing County.
However, just as they were about to reach Yunjing County, another convoy came forward, with two tanks at the front.
Iwasa Tsujio couldn't help but frowned: "What's going on? If there are our people here, do we still need reinforcements?"
Then something strange happened. The two tanks in the lead saw Iwasa's convoy and refused to give way. They continued to drive in the middle of the road, and even spread out side by side to block the road.
The driver honked the horn hard and cursed loudly: "Asshole, this guy must have fallen asleep!"
Then Iwasa realized that something was wrong. Instead of slowing down, the tank accelerated and rushed toward his car with a "boom" sound.
Iwasa shouted: "Get out of the way!"
In fact, Iwasa didn't need to say anything because the driver had already turned the steering wheel suddenly.
But there was no time to hide, and with a "swelling" sound, the front armor of the tank hit the side of the front of the car solidly.
Iwasa leaned forward suddenly and hit his head heavily on the car windshield. Then he lost consciousness in a spin... The car was hit in the air, spun twice and then rolled over on the road.
The twenty-odd Japanese in the back compartment had already been thrown into the air and fell heavily until they were shattered into human shapes.
The three cars behind them were too fast to avoid and crashed into a pile in front of them one after another.
The tank then rolled over the car with a loud bang, crushing the car into scrap metal and crushing the Japanese in the back compartment who had not yet reacted into a pile of blood, water and flesh.
The Japanese cars in the rear stopped one after another. The Japanese in the car looked at the tragic "car accident" scene in surprise. Just as they were thinking about what to do, they saw the tank turret turning with a terrifying "click" sound.
angle, and then a "boom" sound blew up a car into the sky.
