"Regiment commander, the commando team and the reconnaissance company are sending an urgent telegram!" Hong Linfeng rushed into the headquarters and reported hurriedly!
"The Japanese dispatched three infantry squadrons, under the cover of aircraft, to march towards three battlefields!"
"They must want to judge the specific power of our flying thunder cannon through the battlefield and find out what kind of weapon the flying thunder cannon is!"
Li Hao affirmed without thinking: "There is no doubt about it!"
"The flying thunder cannon is now a thorn in their throats. If not removed, this thorn may give them a fatal attack at a critical moment at any time!"
Hong Linfeng's eyes lit up and he reminded thoughtfully: "Then what should we do next? Should we send troops to kill these little devils and let this thorn stick in their throats forever!"
Li Hao did not hesitate and decisively began to issue orders: "First Battalion, Second Battalion, Third Battalion, send troops immediately, use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to kill these three little devils for me!"
"Tell the three battalion commanders that I don't care how they fight or what weapons they use!"
"There is only one requirement: kill them with minimal casualties and prevent them from getting any information about the thunder cannon!"
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of thunder suddenly sounded in the middle of the marching team!
The nearly 20-meter-long team at the front was instantly shrouded in black smoke and mud from the mine explosion!
"Enemy attack, concealment..."
The deputy walking beside the squadron leader subconsciously shouted!
As soon as we lay down on the ground, the squadron leader's curse rang in our ears: "Bageya Road is a mine. Tubal Road has laid mines on the road we must pass. Why are you panicking? Treat the wounded immediately and count the losses."
!”
"Hi!" The deputy's face immediately turned red, and then he rushed towards the minefield!
He came back in less than five minutes and stood in front of the squadron leader, his face becoming more solemn and very embarrassed!
I hesitated for a long time before speaking!
"Sir, a total of five landmines exploded just now!"
"Tubalu was so cunning. Not only did he connect five landmines in a row and make them explode at the same time, he also buried a large number of nails and gravel on top of the mines to increase their lethality!"
"No soldier walking in the minefield was spared. They were all attacked, killed or wounded!"
"A total of 12 people were killed in the battle, eight were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, and 9 were slightly injured. A whole half of the team lost their combat effectiveness!"
The squadron leader's eyes immediately widened and turned red.
He clenched his fists with exposed veins and cursed loudly: "Baga!"
"Cunning Eighth Route Army, sooner or later I will make them pay with blood and avenge the imperial army who died in the battle!"
"Order: All troops leave the road. We take the wasteland next to the road and advance irregularly so that Tubal Road cannot lay mines in advance!"
"Da da da……"
The Japanese were carrying the wounded. Less than ten minutes after they had walked, a string of heavy machine gun fire sounded from a high ground not far away!
Three heavy machine guns, more than 200 meters apart, fired together!
The bullets are flying toward the troops in dense numbers as if they cost nothing!
The troops were caught off guard, and many people were beaten into pieces without even a chance to react!
Especially those little Japs who were carrying the seriously wounded. In order to protect the wounded, their reaction speed was originally slower than usual. They suffered the greatest casualties!
The squadron leader was thrown to the ground by the guards, dodged the bullets flying overhead, and saved his life!
Hearing the screams that kept ringing in my ears, I was heartbroken and anxious and shouted: "What do the aviation troops do for food? Why don't you fight back and kill the Eighth Route Army that sneaked up on us!"
"They are equipped with heavy machine guns. We are completely exposed to their muzzles. Even if they are equipped with grenades, we have no chance to use them. We can only be suppressed by the firepower of the heavy machine guns and cannot move!"
"Rumble..."
The plane seemed to have heard his curse, and immediately lowered its altitude and circled towards the heavy machine gun position a few hundred meters away!
The squadron leader immediately looked up, wanting to see the scene of three heavy machine guns being blown up by the plane!
Disappointingly, the garrison did not intend to give him this opportunity!
As soon as we lowered our flight altitude, the bullets flying overhead disappeared and the gunfire stopped!
If it weren't for the screams of the wounded still ringing in their ears, no one would have thought that a sneak attack would take place in such a beautiful environment, causing the imperial army to lose many troops!
"Woooooooooooo...boom..."
After almost half a minute, the scream of bombs streaking across the sky reached the squadron leader's ears, along with the sound of bomb explosions!
Danger averted!
The squadron leader slowly got up from the ground!
Looking at the large number of wounded and corpses lying around him... he frowned at once!
The casualties are too great!
The power of the heavy machine gun is particularly thoroughly demonstrated here. It can be described in four words: "extremely vivid"!
As long as you are touched by a bullet, you will either die or be injured!
Especially those soldiers who were hit by several bullets. Their bodies were covered with blood holes the size of fists, and blood gushed out like fountains. It was terrible to see!
"Sir, the casualties have been counted!" the deputy came over and lowered his head to report!
"A total of 26 Imperial soldiers were killed, 13 Imperial soldiers were seriously injured, and a dozen others were slightly injured!"
"In addition to the severely injured people brought to us by landmines, we almost have to separate an infantry team to take care of them!"
The squadron leader's face became even more ugly, and he replied sullenly: "Does this mean that if we continue, there will only be one squad left in the entire squadron that can continue to fight!"
"The remaining soldiers were either killed or seriously injured in battle, or they were taking care of the wounded!"
The deputy lowered his head and replied, "Yes, sir!"
"Bagya Road!"
The squadron leader's face became even more angry and he cursed loudly!
"If I'm not wrong, the Eighth Route Army must be attacking us so desperately because they don't want us to go to the battlefield!"
"We went to the battlefield for the secret weapons equipped by the garrison. The garrison definitely didn't want us to go over and find out their secret weapons, and then they stopped us and consumed us at all costs!"
"We are still nearly 20 kilometers away from the target. Although the aircraft can rule out the Eighth Route Army ambushing us, it cannot rule out a small group of Eighth Route Army sneak attacks!"
"If the Eighth Route Army's sneak attacks continue uninterrupted during the next twenty kilometers, we will not be able to reach our target and will be completely wiped out!"
The deputy was also anxious and immediately asked: "Sir, what should we do next? Should we continue walking?"
"The troops stop advancing!" the squadron leader ordered decisively!
"Send a telegram to your superiors immediately and report the situation truthfully. If your superiors tell us to move forward, we will continue to move forward; if our superiors ask us to retreat, we will retreat!"
The Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan looked even more embarrassed than in the morning!
All three squadrons that were reinforcing the battlefield were blocked by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy casualties!
If the troops continue to march, not only will they not be able to reach the battlefield, but they will also be killed, losing their wives and losing their troops!
However, as Li Hao said, if he does not figure out what the secret weapon of the garrison is, the commander will not be able to rest at ease and will be in a state of tension!
It's like a sharp sword hanging above your head, falling from the sky at any time and giving you a fatal attack!
The garrison is a serious threat to the empire and must be eliminated!
Sooner or later, the imperial army and the garrison will have the upper hand, which means that if the imperial army wants to avoid suffering losses in this decisive battle, it must understand this secret weapon and take precautions in advance!
