There was a person in the middle of the convoy that stretched for more than 500 meters that was more anxious than the chief of staff.
That is the leader of the vanguard unit.
The chief of staff gave him a death order, but judging from the current battle situation, this order could not be fulfilled at all.
The power of landmines and explosives is too great, and today is particularly weird. The mine detectors equipped by the imperial army have no effect on these mines.
Roads that have been confirmed to be safe by mine detectors are constantly showing up.
"Rumble..."
Another landmine exploded with explosive charges, and five or six Imperial Army and Imperial Army soldiers nearby fell to the ground dead or injured.
Just like the landmine that exploded before, a large crater two meters deep was created directly at the point of impact.
"Bagh Ya Road, who can tell me what is going on? Why can't our mine detector detect these mines!" The squad leader held the command knife, his face full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and cursed.
The troops were marching in a hurry all the way, or filling in the big holes created by the bombing on the road to ensure the speed of the convoy. No one studied this issue.
When faced with the squad leader's questioning, the subordinates could only lower their heads and remain silent.
"Baga! Are you all mute?" The captain's anger became even more intense.
If the problem of landmines is not solved, if we go a few kilometers further, the Imperial Army assigned to us by the Chief of Staff will be completely blown away.
More importantly, the forward troops will spend a lot of time filling these big holes.
The marching speed of the convoy will inevitably slow down, and the mission given to him by the chief of staff will not be completed.
Seeing that his subordinates continued to remain silent in response, the squad leader had no choice but to order with anger: "Fill this big hole immediately!"
"The Imperial Alliance Army took out an infantry squad and continued to explore the road ahead."
"Hi!"
Cao let out a long sigh of relief and quickly went to give the order.
The puppet troops were not stupid. After several explosions, they also knew that mine detectors were useless against the mines laid by the Eighth Route Army.
No matter who it is, as long as he is sent to explore the way ahead, it means that the god of death is waving at him again.
Therefore, after the squad leader's order was issued, not a single puppet soldier took the order.
From the bottom of my heart, the squad leader despises these puppet soldiers, so he doesn’t take their lives seriously.”
When he saw someone refusing to carry out the order, he took out his pistol without hesitation and shot at a puppet soldier.
"Pa bang..."
The gunshot rang out, and the puppet soldier fell down with his eyes wide open, showing an expression of disbelief.
The other puppet soldiers were immediately frightened. They did not expect that the Japanese would dare to use military law to deal with them.
"Bageya Road, execute the order immediately, the troops continue to move forward, otherwise they will die!" the squad leader put away his gun and ordered with murderous intent.
At the same time, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers under his command raised their rifles and pointed them at them, as if they would shoot without obeying the command.
Under the threat of death, these puppet soldiers compromised.
He walked out of the team tremblingly, holding the mine detector with the same decoration and continued moving forward.
A rare smile flashed across the squad leader's solemn face. The meaning behind it was very complex, including pride, contempt, and pride...
What he didn't know was that what he had just done had aroused great anger among the puppet troops.
These angers are suppressed in everyone's hearts for the time being.
When it accumulates to a certain level and the time is right, this anger will turn into a powder keg and explode in an instant.
"Rumble..."
The big crater that had just been blasted had not yet been filled in, and the explosion sounded again.
Only four puppet soldiers from a class survived, and the rest all fell to the ground, uncertain whether they were alive or dead. Two more puppet soldiers were directly blown into pieces, with no bones left.
"Take another infantry squad and continue to explore the way forward!" the squad leader ordered with a stern face.
The powder keg exploded!
Next to the bomb crater where dozens of puppet troops gathered, a voice filled with anger reached everyone's ears.
"Brothers, you will die if you explore the way for the Japanese, and you will die if you rebel. It is better to fight them, kill them, and escape into the nearby woods. Maybe there is still a way to survive."
"Anyone who doesn't want to die, come and kill the Japanese with me..."
Three grenades with white smoke were thrown out and flew towards the squad leader.
The squad leader knew a little bit of Chinese, and he realized the danger halfway through listening. He took out his gun and ordered his subordinates to surround the remaining Imperial Alliance troops to suppress their desire to rebel.
Just as he held the gun in his hand, three grenades flew towards him.
"Hide... lie down..."
The squad leader quickly lay down, and the nearby Japs also lay down, but many Japs still opened fire and killed several puppet soldiers.
"Boom boom..."
The grenade exploded, and the flying fire and fragments killed and injured several Japanese soldiers.
"Brothers, you are all rebelling against me." A voice full of anger sounded from the crowd again.
"There are not many Japs here. Each of us can kill them with one grenade and then escape into the mountains to survive. Otherwise, everyone will be forced to death by the Japs here."
Before he finished speaking, another grenade flew towards the Japanese. This time the number of grenades had increased to ten. He decided to fight to the death and join the rebel ranks.
Of course, more and more Japs started shooting, hoping to kill these rebel puppet troops.
"Brothers, keep throwing grenades and retreat..."
This time, more than thirty grenades hit the enemy, and explosions occurred one after another.
The rising smoke directly enveloped the Japanese, and also blocked their sight.
"Retreat, just run with me. The little devils who enter the mountains won't be able to do anything to us!"
In the middle of the convoy, the chief of staff had urged the forward troops to speed up more than once.
Seeing that the convoy had stopped again, I was about to send someone to urge the forward troops again, when the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions suddenly came over.
The chief of staff was shocked and thought that the forward troops were under attack.
But he soon calmed down.
Behind the forward troops was a squadron of imperial troops, so he was not worried at all about the Eighth Route Army coming out to attack him. Instead, he was worried that they would continue to use mines to slow down the march of the convoy.
In less than five minutes, the exchange of fire stopped, and then the chief of staff saw a messenger rushing over on horseback.
"He must be here to report good news." The chief of staff felt good about himself and took it for granted.
"Sir, something happened to the forward troops!"
As soon as the messenger stopped and spoke, the chief of staff's dream was shattered.
Looking at the messenger, his eyes widened, waiting for the next step.
"The Imperial Alliance Army who cooperated with the forward troops rebelled on the battlefield!"
"More than half of the imperial army was killed by the rebels. More than 30 rebels were killed, and more than 50 others fled into the mountains."
"Nani?" The chief of staff immediately widened his eyes and stared at the messenger, thinking that he heard wrongly.
He didn't believe it until the orderer repeated the order, then he showed a shocked expression and muttered to himself.
"How could it be? How could they have the courage to rebel against the imperial army? Who gave them the courage? I want to kill them all."
