"Bah bang bang..." Several gunshots suddenly rang out from a beam nearly 150 meters away from the highway, breaking the serious atmosphere on the highway.
"Baga, they must be the Eighth Route Army guerrillas!" Seeing the subordinates walking in the middle knocking down five of them in an instant, the captain frowned and cursed loudly.
Then he directly ordered: "Draw out an infantry squad, find these guerrillas, and kill them!"
"Captain, calm down, this is probably a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army to force us to divide our forces, and then take the opportunity to eliminate our pursuing troops!" the deputy captain who had been fooled before reminded with lingering fear.
"Don't be afraid! Don't forget, we have plane escort above us! It's nine o'clock now, and the escort plane will arrive in a few minutes. If the Eighth Route Army really has a conspiracy, we can just use the support of the plane to defeat their ambush troops."
"Deploy troops to attack immediately, and then mobilize a company of the Imperial Association Army to go together. Don't let the cunning guerrillas escape!"
"Hi!" the chief of staff replied quickly.
Soon, more than a hundred puppet troops left the road and rushed in the direction of the reconnaissance team.
"Squad leader, the little Japs dare to send people to chase us. Why don't you find a place to greet them properly!" The reconnaissance squad who retreated after the fight saw the Japs chasing behind them and immediately suggested with their eyes shining brightly.
Although the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops is more than ten times theirs, they are all elite and elite, and are particularly good at fighting guerrilla warfare.
Therefore, when facing these Japanese and puppet troops, they were not only not afraid, but also very excited. It was as if they were seeing a lot of military achievements in front of them, with a look of fanaticism on their faces.
"Buzz buzz!" At this moment, a roar suddenly reached their ears.
"It's a Japanese plane!" a soldier exclaimed.
"No wonder the little Japs dared to split up their troops to chase us. It turns out they have plane support!" the squad leader replied with a look of realization on his face.
The deputy squad leader next to him immediately added: "But the kid forgot, airplanes are only useful for large troops. For a combat unit like ours, the planes in the sky can't even lock on to the target, let alone attack! Squad leader, I suggest you kill them.
These Japanese and puppet troops!”
"The former dough commander said that if we can kill one more Japanese outside the mountains, the pressure on the main force will be less in the counter-encirclement and suppression operations. We must not let go of such a good fighter plane.)"
"Are the nearest guerrillas arriving soon?" The squad leader did not answer, but looked at the watch on his arm and asked.
"Almost an hour has passed, it should be there soon!" the deputy squad leader replied immediately.
The squad leader no longer hesitated and decided directly: "Comrade Chang Lin, you are familiar with the guerrilla captain in Zhongjia Village. I order you to set off now, contact the guerrillas, and cooperate with them to use landmines and cold guns to slow down the Japanese army's march and cover the villagers.
We stand firm and clear the field. Others, follow me to clean up the flies behind you and kill them!"
"Bang bang bang!" Not long after, several more gunshots rang out on the battlefield. The Japs who were frantically pursuing them fell down in an instant. But this also aroused the fighting will of the remaining Japanese troops, and dozens of Japs immediately
He launched a counterattack, and all the bullets flew towards the place where the gunshot had been fired, causing dust on the ground to fly.
However, the scouts who attacked them had already run away.
"Bageya Road, let them slip away again!" The leader of the Japanese team looked at the corpses on the ground and cursed with an aggrieved look on his face.
Then he had an idea and ordered: "Ono-kun, you lead a combat detachment and a platoon of the Imperial Association Army, and the left wing is outflanked. Nakamura-kun, you lead the same force and the right wing is outflanked. We continue to pursue them and must destroy them!"
"Hi!" The two sergeants immediately took the order, ordered the troops and rushed forward.
"Squad leader, the little devils have divided their forces, and there are three groups of soldiers. They want to surround us and annihilate us!" another deputy squad leader reminded.
After mentally calculating the strength of the Japanese troops behind him, the squad leader immediately decided: "We will divide into two pairs and alternately cover and shoot the Japanese pursuers. Remember, kill as many Japanese as possible. After each person kills three Japanese, we will not run away."
Let them surround you, and then take them away directly!"
Deputy squad leader Chang Lin quickly found the guerrillas laying landmines along the road.
Seeing that the guerrillas were just planting landmines one by one on the road, Chang Lin immediately called a halt.
"Captain Zhong, you can't bury landmines like this. The Japs stepped on the first mine, and the remaining mines will be found by the Japs engineers and wasted!"
Captain Zhong used to be a platoon leader in the main force. Because he broke an arm, he was assigned here to be the guerrilla leader and train the thirty guerrillas in Zhongjia Village.
As a veteran soldier who has fought against the Japs, Captain Zhong is well aware of the Japs' powerful combat capabilities.
He reacted as soon as Chang Lin reminded him, and then asked with a humble face: "Comrade Chang Lin, you are all personally trained by the regiment leader. You must have many evil ideas. Please teach us! Let us Zhongjiacun guerrillas learn from it too."
study!"
Chang Lin did not hesitate and answered directly: "Okay, I will teach you a few tricks!"
"There are three landmines buried here, ten meters apart from each other, right in the middle of the road! After one landmine exploded, the Japanese would probably treat it as an accident, order the troops to move forward, and then step on our second landmine. However, two landmines exploded.
After all the landmines were exploded, the Japanese, no matter how stupid they were, knew that this road was unsafe, so they sent engineers to clear the mines."
"Then the third mine was not scrapped!" Captain Zhong asked with a frown.
"No!" Chang Lin shook his head and replied: "The third mine will also explode!"
"Don't forget, our landmines are ceramic mines, not iron-shell mines. The Japanese mine detectors can't detect them!"
"But after the landmines exploded in Lesson 3, the little devils will understand and switch to manual demining!"
"So, there are only three landmines buried here, and we won't waste any of them. And with these three landmines, we can easily delay the Japanese for at least an hour, unless they abandon the road, but this is simply impossible.
Unless they don’t want the supplies, ammunition and artillery they carry with the army!”
"What's next?" Captain Zhong asked with eyes shining.
"Use this hour, let's go five hundred meters ahead and use mines to prepare a big gift for the Japanese!" Chang Lin replied with confidence.
Within a few minutes, thirty guerrillas had laid the mines, swept away the traces, and quickly retreated.
After walking for less than ten minutes, the leading troops of the Japanese and puppet troops appeared at the end of the road.
An infantry squad of the Japanese Army and an infantry company of the Imperial Alliance Army were mixed together and lined up in four lines. The rifles were in their hands and the bayonets were mounted brightly. They walked towards the mine warfare with a arrogant expression.
come over.
In order to let the guerrillas see the power of landmines and increase their confidence in using landmines for subsequent operations, Chang Lin and Captain Zhong took them and hid directly in the woods less than 300 meters away from the mine warfare.
Seeing the Japanese and puppet troops getting closer and closer, more than thirty pairs of eyes seemed to be seeing a pile of gold ingots, staring at the mine warfare, motionless and without blinking.
