"Batalion Commander, what should we do next? The Japanese are coming soon." The soldier looked at Zhang Dabiao, his eyes full of worry.
The flames burning in the position only delayed the Japs for half an hour. We can see that the Japs began to gather again and prepare for the battle. In the next battle, if we want to continue to delay the Japs, we need soldiers.
We can only fight harder.
"Don't worry, isn't there a minefield we have set up over there? Besides, in addition to the minefield, we also have traps set up. Don't worry, it will be noon soon. As long as we can repel this Japanese attack, then
You can rest for a while." Zhang Dabiao glanced at the sun in the sky and said solemnly.
The soldier nodded. He could feel a sense of security when he stayed with the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao. The soldier admired the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao very much. He knew a lot about the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao from other veterans.
brilliant achievements.
Ten minutes later, the Japs rushed towards the woods in a triangular formation. It could be seen that these Japs were very vigilant. Once there was any abnormality and the Eighth Route Army was spotted, these Japs would shoot decisively. The Japs squadron leader in charge,
Standing on the original position of the 1st Battalion, behind him were three mortars.
These three mortars were specially requested by the squadron leader from the rear in order to suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army and defeat the Eighth Route Army blocking the advance of the team as soon as possible. Looking at the silent mountain forest, the squadron leader looked serious, as he could imagine
Those Eighth Route Army soldiers will definitely not leave easily.
The squadron leader was a little confused. As far as he knew, there was no Eighth Route Army unit with such strong firepower in the surrounding areas of Linxian. The battle with this Eighth Route Army unit made the squadron leader feel a little pressure. The enemy's combat intention was obvious.
The purpose is to delay their advancement.
"boom"
A landmine was stepped on by the advancing Japanese, and the Japanese was blown away directly. When it landed, the complete body could not be seen at all. The Japanese quickly dispersed and prepared for battle on the spot. Soon there were dedicated
Engineers came to clear mines.
"Battal Commander, do you want to kill these Japanese engineers?" Looking at Zhang Dabiao, the soldier beside him asked.
Zhang Dabiao shook his head. The mountains and forests were beneficial to the soldiers of the new regiment, but he could not rashly choose to attack these Japanese engineers because of this. The first attack on the Japanese engineers was okay, but when the Japanese were prepared,
If you choose to do this again, you will easily suffer certain casualties.
"Don't worry, let them line up, we will lay out more than just mines." Zhang Dabiao said with a smile.
The Japanese engineers were advancing slowly with mine detectors. The area they detected was not large. They only needed to accommodate the Japanese soldiers to move forward. Detecting too many areas would waste too much time. The squadron leader had made a rule.
Military order, the cleaning of Getonggou Mountain will be completed today.
"puff"
The body of the Japanese engineer who was walking at the front suddenly sank. He fell into a trap covered with wooden thorns. He screamed in pain as several wooden thorns directly pierced the soles of the engineer's feet. And due to the sudden collapse of his body,
The Japanese soldier failed to react, and his body fell directly on the wooden thorn. The wooden thorn penetrated deeply into the Japanese soldier's body, and blood kept pouring out. Due to the pain, the engineer's body was struggling subconsciously, but the more he struggled, the more painful he became.
.
The engineers looked at their comrade who had fallen into the trap, and felt a little uneasy. It was true that they had mine detectors in their hands, but the mine detectors could not help them detect where the trap was. The engineers were in the squad leader
Continue to move forward under the urging of the enemy. There will be Japanese soldiers behind to rescue the engineers who have fallen into the trap.
When being rescued, the engineers kept moaning in pain, which made the Japanese engineers, who were not moving very fast in the first place, couldn't help but slow down their progress again.
With the existence of mine detectors, the Japanese engineers quickly found several places where mines were found. They moved away from a certain distance and detonated the mines directly with grenades. Manual demining was too dangerous and a waste of time. A few
When the grenade went down, the mines planted by a battalion of soldiers were directly detonated.
"Batalion Commander, if we let the Japs continue like this, the landmines we planted will be cleared soon." The soldier looked at the mines detonated by the Japs engineers and couldn't help but said again.
Zhang Dabiao shook his head, "Don't worry, at the speed of the Japanese engineers, it will take some time to clear a safe road."
"Besides, there are landmines in the surrounding area. When the Japs take this road, we will shoot again to force the Japs to disperse."
The soldiers of the first battalion were patiently hiding. The veterans wiped the rifles in their hands to relieve the pressure on the battlefield. The recruits after a battle also improved a lot and were no longer so rough. They also imitated the veterans and wiped their hands.
rifles, the whole battalion maintained a sufficiently quiet atmosphere.
Half an hour later, the Japs were less than 400 meters away from the soldiers of the First Battalion. The explosions that sounded from time to time were the Japs detonating the mines laid by the soldiers of the First Battalion. As the distance between the Japs continued to shrink, the soldiers became increasingly confused.
Some became nervous, as they would soon have to fight these devils again.
Watching the Japanese engineers continue to advance, Zhang Dabiao directly ordered the soldiers with good shooting skills in the first battalion to shoot, and followed him to knock out the Japanese engineers. Zhang Dabiao did not care about the landmines that the Japanese engineers had cleared before.
But the remaining mines still had to deal with the Japs' charge, and Zhang Dabiao would not let the Japs' engineers continue to function.
"Hit!" Zhang Dabiao shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Dabiao pulled the trigger of his rifle. The bullet directly hit the eye of a Japanese engineer soldier and penetrated his head directly. Other soldiers also shot one after another, but at a distance of only 400 meters, the Japanese helmet still had some effect.
Two or three engineers survived by luck.
The remaining engineers lay down decisively and faced the Eighth Route Army's shooting. If they chose to retreat, they would undoubtedly still run the risk of being killed. The Japanese soldiers who were not far behind the engineers reacted and started shooting one after another. A large number of bullets were directed at the 1st Battalion.
The position flew over.
The distance of four hundred meters makes it difficult for the Japs to hit the soldiers of the first battalion. Their shooting skills are good, but not so good that everyone is a sharpshooter. Occasionally, a soldier is unfortunately hit by the Japs' stray bullets, but there is no threat.
life.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The Japanese's mortars locked onto the area where the first battalion was located and immediately began shelling. At the same time, the Japanese's infantry artillery also turned on the artillery support mode again at the request of the squadron leader!
In a short period of time, several artillery shells fell towards the location of the First Battalion. The soldiers curled up and tried their best to avoid being attacked by the shells. It may be because the Japanese hated the soldiers of the First Battalion for delaying them too much.
For a long time, the Japanese bombardment lasted for nearly ten minutes, and the area where the first battalion was located was almost completely bombed.
"Genzi, I can only do this. I hope your artillery battery can really play its role." After the bombardment, Zhang Dabiao shook his head hard to wake himself up.
