Normally, such a disguise would definitely not be able to hide it from the eyes of the Japanese scouts.
But Li Hao is confident to escape tonight.
After the attack on the coal mine started, Li Hao rushed here at full speed. Before leaving, he gave an order to He Jun, who was commanding the attack: "At any cost, the attacking troops must enter the coal mine within twenty minutes and give the coal mine garrison the maximum possible strength."
pressure."
The Japanese definitely don't want the Dongshan Coal Mine to be captured under their noses.
Facing the fierce attack of the Hunyuan Independent Battalion, in order to avoid the worst case scenario, Datong City could only continue to urge reinforcements.
As the reinforcements move faster, the reconnaissance on both sides of the road will be relaxed.
This place is only nine kilometers away from Datong City. Since growing food was not allowed on both sides of the road, the Japanese army has not been attacked on this road.
So the reinforcements will definitely feel more relaxed when they come here.
Maybe we can transport troops directly by car, not even reconnaissance troops.
As soon as Li Hao arrived at the headquarters, the rapid sound of horse hooves reached his ears.
Getting closer and closer, the two cavalrymen in front and behind rushed all the way to the command post before they stopped, turned over and fell off their horses, and then strode towards Li Hao.
"Captain, the Japanese have sent out troops!" the two scouts reported with heavy breaths.
"All vehicles were transported, a total of fifty personnel carriers, and four mountain guns and two infantry guns were towed. The speed was very fast."
"The company commander is blocking them as planned. It took us twenty minutes to get here, and we will be here in another twenty minutes."
"Go down and rest!" The investigation result was completely within his expectation, and Li Hao was very satisfied with the order.
Then he told Hong Linfeng: "Chief of Staff, our pocket formation needs to be slightly adjusted."
"The blocking troops will lay ten more landmines on the road. I will completely destroy the first three cars and block them on the road."
"The cut-off force added three mortars, for a total of six mortars."
"Open artillery as soon as the battle starts. Take away the last few personnel carriers and destroy them."
"The other troops acted as planned. They moved in with artillery first, and then launched a sudden fire attack. The infantry and torpedo artillery troops took the opportunity to attack."
"After entering the range, the mine cannons were mounted. A mine cannon fired two explosive packets. After the infantry was finished, it was the last to mount."
"Tonight's battle is just a calf test, weakening the strength of the Datong garrison and creating opportunities for our other troops to secretly enter the battlefield. I don't want to hear about the large number of casualties among the participating troops."
Fifty troop carriers were advancing on the road as if they were galloping, one next to the other, stretching for nearly a kilometer.
Inside the rickety carriage, the Japanese had to hold on to the railings with both hands to prevent themselves from falling.
Even so, everyone was shaken and dizzy.
Not to mention staying vigilant, after being attacked, your reaction speed will be several seconds slower than usual.
Sitting on the co-pilot of the first troop carrier was a lieutenant, who was the captain of the reconnaissance team directly under the brigade. Although he was also dizzy, he kept forcing himself to stay calm.
Keep your eyes straight ahead and keep your eyes on the road to make sure there are no dangers ahead.
Suddenly, he saw a piece of obviously moved soil imprinted on the road ruts.
This is the only road leading to the coal mine. A large number of cars go back and forth every day. Empty cars enter the coal mine and full loads of coal leave the coal mine and go to the train station.
If you drive for a long time, the road surface must be very hard under the wheels.
Now that the road surface is showing signs of looseness, there must be something wrong.
As an old scout, the first thing that came to the lieutenant's mind was mines.
The Eighth Route Army is attacking the coal mines and will definitely send troops to block reinforcements. Landmines are undoubtedly the best weapon to block reinforcements.
His expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously shouted: "Stop the car, everyone get out of the car, there are landmines ahead..."
The driver was frightened by the word "mine" and slammed on the brakes. The huge inertia caused him and the lieutenant to crash into the windshield in front.
The driver was blocked by the steering wheel and did not hit the car directly.
The lieutenant was not so lucky. He smashed the windshield with a splash and flew out from the front.
The Japanese soldiers in the carriage were caught off guard, and they all bumped into each other and became a mess.
"Get out of the car quickly, be alert around..." A Japanese second lieutenant shook his dizzy head and gave the order in a hurry.
The first one climbed up from the car, jumped out, picked up his rifle, and squatted on the ground to cover the others from getting off.
In just a few seconds, all the Japanese who could still move in the car jumped out of the car and quickly dispersed around the car to keep watch.
The second lieutenant who got out of the car first took two of his subordinates and ran towards the lieutenant who was smashed to the ground.
Among the people in the car, he was the most seriously injured and must be treated immediately.
"do not come……"
The second lieutenant and his two subordinates were still two or three meters away from the lieutenant when a loud roar suddenly came from the lieutenant's mouth.
The second lieutenant was stunned for a moment and didn't understand, so his legs didn't stop and he continued to rush forward...
"boom……"
The explosion sounded under his feet, as violent as thunder. He knew at first sight that the mine had been stuffed by the Eighth Route Army.
Only then did the second lieutenant understand why the captain stopped him.
But it was too late. The powerful shock wave generated by the explosion had already blown him into the sky. His internal organs were instantly shattered, and he lost consciousness.
The lieutenant who fell to the ground and the two scouts behind him were not spared, and they were all blown over.
This is just the beginning. The landmines buried here by the blocking troops are all connected together. When one mine explodes, other mines will also explode. This is the so-called serial mine.
The first three Japanese troop carriers seemed to have entered a fireworks array, with fireballs and black smoke rising into the sky everywhere.
"Rumble..."
A landmine filled with explosives exploded under the car, and the car, which weighed several tons, was overturned by him like a toy.
The Japanese soldiers in the carriage who had no time to jump out were either shocked to death or crushed to death by the overturned car.
On the short road, there were screams and explosions everywhere...
The Japs in the rear were even worse. A group of six shells rained down on the road.
It was as if a cannonball had eyes and hit the car.
The small space and dense crowd allowed this cannonball to fully display its power.
Many Japanese were blown into pieces on the spot: limbs and arms, internal organs, bloody minced meat... flying everywhere with the splashing fire, even the air was red.
Another artillery shell hit the fuel tank, and the fuel was instantly ignited by flames. In just a few seconds, the car was burned into a big fireball.
The Japanese who didn't have time to escape were set on fire together, screaming and burned to ashes...
This incident happened so suddenly that six cars were destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Nearly a hundred soldiers were dead, injured, and only a handful were intact.
The captain in the middle of the convoy was confused, but his instinctive reaction after being attacked was not slow at all.
Before the troop carrier could stop, he pushed open the door and somersaulted out.
The guards in the carriage quickly got out of the car and escorted the captain to the side of the highway.
