"Boom...... Boom ......"

The familiar sound of a landmine explosion resounded on the road, and Watanabe didn't have to think about it to know what was going on in front of him.

Twisting his brows, he began to give an order: "The engineer squad will set off immediately, reinforce the forward troops, and clear mines, I don't want the troops to have casualties because of mines!" ”

"Hey!" The adjutant immediately took the order.

The march, which was still very fast just now, suddenly slowed down, less than half of what it had just been, and it was necessary to stop and rest for at least ten minutes every few hundred meters forward.

Watanabe knew that there was no urgency in demining, and in addition, the Eighth Route Army used non-ferrous stone and ceramic mines, so it was even more unhurried.

Their explosions are not powerful, but they are enough to injure people.

Watanabe didn't want to be wounded before he could fight the independent battalion.

The march speed could not be fast, Watanabe simply leaned directly on the seat of the armored car, intending to close his eyes and recuperate to deal with the decisive battle that might arise next.

"Boom ......"

As soon as the eyes were closed, two explosions rang in my ears.

Watanabe suddenly opened his eyes, and as soon as his face changed, he exclaimed, "This is a shell explosion, not a mine!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant next to him also changed his face.

"And it's an 81 mm caliber mortar shell made by the Empire, and the artillery position is about a kilometer away from us, so I immediately order the artillery to counterattack!"

Before the adjutant could move, Watanabe interrupted with a frown: "No need, not only is it useless to counterattack, but it is a waste of our precious shells!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the independent battalion is repeating its old tricks again, and continues to sneak up on us all the way with the same methods used to deal with us during the day yesterday!"

"Eight Grid Yalu, these Eighth Route Army are even more cunning than foxes, when I force them out, I must personally chop them up and break them into pieces, otherwise there is no way to vent the anger in my heart!"

As soon as Watanabe finished cursing with anger, a second lieutenant communications officer rushed over panting.

"Sir, the second squad of the third squadron was shelled, six people were killed or wounded, two were imperial soldiers, one dead and one wounded!"

"When the shells exploded, the reconnaissance and search forces on both sides of the road were also attacked!"

"There were a total of eight casualties, four of them were imperial soldiers, all of them were killed, and all of them were killed with one shot!"

"By the time we determine the enemy's position and prepare to counterattack, they are already dying, and they can't even see a shadow!"

The adjutant looked at Watanabe with admiration and said, "Sir, your judgment is right, the independent battalion is really repeating the old trick!" ”

"Shell us from a distance, cover the sharpshooters with the sound of artillery!"

"We have to find a way to stop this, otherwise we will definitely lose a lot along the way!"

"What should we do next, please give the order from the chief!"

Watanabe frowned and looked solemn, thinking for several minutes before making a decision.

"Speed up the march and get to the next village as soon as possible!"

"If you can find the best people there, catch them all, put them at the front of the team to clear mines for us, and force the Eighth Route Army to give up the use of mines!"

"If you can't find the people, then continue to rush to another village, and the task is one, set fire!"

"Burn all the villages we pass through to ashes, the more the better, and force the independent battalion to come out and fight us as soon as possible!"

"Order a few carts and more than a dozen mules and horses to come out of the baggage troops, and then dispatch a company of the Imperial Association Army to drive the mules, horses and carts to the front to clear the mines of the main force, and directly detonate the mines buried by the Eighth Route Army on the road to ensure the safety of the main force!"

"The forward troops keep an eye on those puppet troops for me!"

"Those who usually eat the imperial army and use the imperial army, when it is time to fight hard, they must work hard, and no one can back down, even if they pay for their own lives!"

"If any puppet army disobeys the military order and does not go to the thunder, it will be killed directly!"

"In addition, tell them that we must get there before the people in the village in front of us are transferred, and only by catching dozens of people there will I have someone to replace them!"

"Otherwise, they will have to keep wading through the mines in front of the team until they force the independent battalion out, or they will all be killed and injured by the mines, and there will be no way to move on!"

The enemy has changed, and after seeing all the moves of the Japanese puppet army, Li Hao made a decision at that time.

"Inform the district team to continue to bury mines, and to bury more. Since these puppet soldiers are willing to give their lives to the little devils, then give them a lesson that they will never forget! ”

"Our home-made mines are not very powerful, they can rarely kill people, but they can be injured and lose their combat effectiveness. Taking the opportunity to let these puppet troops shed some blood can not only make them afraid, know that our Eighth Route Army will not show mercy to their subordinates because they are Chinese, but also make them dissatisfied with the little devils, divide them, and shake their military heart and morale! ”

"Tell Xiao Yuan and Chen Wei that their method of sneaking up on the devil is very good, let them make persistent efforts and strive to kill the two hundred puppet army today!"

"The others continued to set off with me, and the road ahead was getting rougher and rougher, so I decided to entertain Watanabe on that stretch of road!"

The troops marched faster and faster, and although explosions were constantly heard, the speed of the march was not affected.

The shells that fell from the sky continued to fall, but because of the speed of the troops, the casualties and attacks of the troops were significantly less frequent than before.

After listening to the adjutant's report, Watanabe was very satisfied with his decision, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sudden gunfire of the forward troops made the smile on Watanabe's face freeze on the spot.

Then I saw a lieutenant rushing over in a hurry: "Sir, there is a blocking force of the Eighth Route Army in front!" ”

"The forward troops were suddenly attacked, suffered heavy losses, have retreated, ask for reinforcements!"

"Baga, are they all a group of pigs, and they didn't find out that there were blocking troops in front of them?" Watanabe scolded.

The lieutenant hastened to reply: "The forward troops report that the enemy is hiding in the woods halfway up the hill next to the road and is not digging trenches. That's why I didn't notice it and was suddenly attacked! ”

"Order the second squadron of the infantry, the second battalion of the Imperial Army, to attack immediately." Watanabe commanded with a calm face.

"Mortar squadron, heavy machine gun squadron, and the second squad of the armored squadron that cooperates with the forward troops to provide fire cover, and kill them for me in half an hour!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The explosion soon sounded on the mountainside where the independent battalion was hiding.

After nine mortars fired more than 100 shells in a row, it took more than 200 days for the puppet army to start attacking under the cover of heavy machine guns.

To their disappointment, not a single shot was heard until the attacking forces occupied the mountainside.

"The cunning Eighth Route Army must have run away during the shelling just now!" Watanabe judged with a frown.

Then he ordered: "The attacking troops left a guard post, everyone else withdrew, and we moved on." ”

"Dada...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

Before the adjutant could take orders, the gunshots rang out again, and they were still in the woods halfway up the mountainside, and there were explosions in the middle.

Watanabe couldn't sit still at this time, and got out of the armored car like a monkey, raised his binoculars and looked at the mountainside.

The attacking forces were retreating, but they were being repulsed.

The forests on the mountainside are so dense that Watanabe can't see them very clearly even with a telescope.

But the sound of gunfire coming from halfway up the mountain made him very worried about the attacking troops.

The gunfire was so dense that at least ten light machine guns were chasing the attacking troops.

On the other hand, in the attacking troops, an infantry squad of the Imperial Army and a company of the Imperial Allied Army had only five machine guns, and the firepower was less than half of that of the opponent.

What's more, the opponent occupies the advantage of the terrain and shoots condescendingly, and the attacking troops can only be beaten passively!
