Heiji Kawaguchi lost his voice and exclaimed: "Earth fire, this is earth fire!" ”

"Nani, Earthfire? Your Excellency, Commander, it can't be, it's impossible. Yongjin Tatsu also shook his head repeatedly, the so-called earth fire, in fact, is the underground active volcano magma erupted to the surface of the hot zone, which is a very common phenomenon in Japan, a country with frequent earthquakes, but in China, especially in East China, it is rare.

Japan's intelligence agencies have made a special analysis of this.

"Yaga, do you think there is only one kind of earth fire?" Heiji Kawaguchi's knowledge was obviously broader than that of Tatsuya Eijin, and he immediately reprimanded, "In addition to the ground fire formed by the eruption of magma, there is also the ground fire formed by the burning of underground coal fields or sulfur mines, and it is very likely that the ground fire in Noma Beach was formed by the burning of underground coal fields." ”

"Nani, underground coal fields?" Yongjin Da was also taken aback when he heard this.

Over there, Heiji Kawaguchi had already ordered several guards behind him to dig up the sand and gravel on the river beach with bayonets, but when he looked down by the light of the fire in front of him, he saw that under the thin layer of sand and gravel, Huo Ran was the black ground!

Heiji Kawaguchi ordered the guards to pry a black stone from the ground and send it under his nose to smell it.

"Yaga, Yaga, Yaga!" Kawaguchi Heiji stood up every hair on his body in an instant, and while cursing repeatedly, he hissed, "Surface coalfield, surface coalfield, it turned out to be a surface coalfield!" ”

"Nani, surface coalfield?" Yongjin Da was also taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly lowered his head and fell to the ground to take a closer look.

I don't know if I don't know, I was really startled when I saw a thin layer of sand and gravel covering, it was really a black coal seam, Yongjinda was also highly educated after all, whether it was coal or not he could still tell it, he not only distinguished that this was a surface coal field, but also found that it was high-quality anthracite.

"Baga Yalu, this is a high-quality anthracite coal field!" Yongjin Tatsuya also screamed in horror.

If you find this surface anthracite coal field in another place, or at another time, Yongjinda will definitely be overjoyed, because Japan is short of resources, almost nothing, and a very important reason why Japan wants to launch a war of aggression against China is to get a huge amount of coal from China and provide a steady stream of energy for Japan's industrial development.

Therefore, if a high-quality anthracite coal field can be discovered, it will undoubtedly be a great contribution to the empire.

However, now, this high-quality anthracite field will most likely mean a place of death for the Kawaguchi detachment!

"Fire! Your Excellency Commander, the Chinese army is going to attack with fire, and they are going to create a coal field fire to burn us to death! The Chinese army is cornered, and plans to die with the imperial army! Nagajin Tatsuya turned his head to look at Heiji Kawaguchi, and said hoarsely, "Your Excellency Commander, we must retreat, retreat immediately!" ”

It is not practical for Nagajin Tatsuya to remind, Kawaguchi Heiji has already ordered his adjutant to convey the order, and the entire detachment immediately evacuates Mustang Beach! At this time, Kawaguchi Heiji can't care about the rout of the independent regiment trapped in the tail of the wild horse beach, or the safety of the Kawaguchi detachment itself is more important!

Kawaguchi Heiji's order was quickly issued, and the various units under the Kawaguchi detachment quickly carried out the order and began to turn around and retreat, but at this time they remembered to retreat, but it was already too late.

Outside the Mustang Beach, the three main infantry battalions of the Dameishan Independent Regiment had already taken advantage of the cover of night and quietly deployed, but they were worried that they would be discovered by the devils, so they did not build fortifications, but even if there were no fortifications, Xu Rui also firmly believed that it would be absolutely no problem to block the devils' offensive for 40 minutes to an hour with the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment.

In less than forty minutes, the hundred or so burning points that have caught fire in front of them will be connected into a line, and once these hundred or so burning points are connected into a circular line, this ring formed by the raging earth fire will completely lock the entire Mustang Beach and trap all the devils who have entered the Mustang Beach and the U-shaped mouth!

The first half hour after the mine was detonated was the most dangerous, and it was also what Xu Rui was most worried about.

Xu Rui has used a briquette stove and knows that it takes at least ten minutes for a briquette to burn from the time it is put into the furnace to burn red, even if there is gasoline to burn here, the time required will not be reduced too much, at least seven or eight minutes is absolutely necessary.

This is only the time it takes to ignite the more than 100 burning points, and when the fire of the more than 100 burning points is formed and begins to spread around, it will take even longer, half an hour is conservative, and when the more than 100 burning points are completely spread and connected into a line, it will take at least two hours!

Therefore, if the devils realize that something is wrong at the first time and quickly evacuate from Mustang Beach, then the Independent Regiment will be in trouble, because it means that the Independent Regiment needs to block the frontal onslaught of the Kawaguchi detachment for at least two hours on a loop with a length of more than three kilometers outside the U-shaped mouth of Mustang Beach!

With the strength of the independent regiment, if you want to block the onslaught of the Kawaguchi detachment for at least two hours on a frontal length of more than three kilometers, it is really not ordinary.

Therefore, in the first half hour after the mine was detonated, Xu Rui was the most worried, and Xu Rui spent more than half an hour almost counting the seconds, fortunately, for more than half an hour, the devil was unaware, and it was not until more than an hour later that the more than 100 fire points outside the U-shaped mouth of Wild Horse Beach were about to be connected into a line, and the devil reacted.

Seeing that the devil finally reacted and was about to retreat, Xu Rui had a smug smile on his face.

"Hey, little devil, I just remembered to retreat now, but it was too late! Mustang Beach will soon be your crematorium! Xu Rui put down the binoculars, revealing a pair of dark eyes, and the flame belt that had begun to burn in front of him was reflected in his eyes, as if there were also two flames burning in his eyes, which looked a little weird and terrifying.

A moment later, the 3rd Infantry Brigade, which had taken the lead in retreating, came to the vicinity of the flame belt.

The 3rd Infantry Brigade was originally left behind, so now it turned around and retreated, and the 3rd Infantry Brigade replaced the previous 1st Infantry Brigade as the vanguard, and immediately arrived near the flame zone, but when they arrived near the flame zone, they saw that countless ground fires had appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of them, and the diameter of these ground fires was more than 20 meters, and there was a tendency to connect into a line.

The Devil Spearhead who was in charge of opening the way tried to pass through the gap between the two ground fires, but they couldn't stand the scorching heat when they were still twenty meters away from the ground fires, and retreated in a hurry.

After a while, Heiji Kawaguchi's armored command vehicle also arrived.

Seeing that the 3rd Infantry Brigade actually stopped and stopped moving forward, Kawaguchi Heiji was immediately furious, but after he figured out what was going on, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

The flames turned into fires so quickly, because the heat generated by the previous coal burning had already heated the surrounding coal in advance, so the surrounding coal was more likely to burn, and as the fire became bigger and bigger, the temperature in the burning zone became higher and higher, which accelerated the speed of the fire.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, almost becoming a prairie fire, and the scorching waves rushed in his face, and Heiji Kawaguchi hurriedly took two steps back.

However, as soon as he took two steps back, Kawaguchi Heiji immediately reacted again, and now is by no means the time to stay here and be surprised, the top priority is to leave here as soon as possible, and immediately ordered: "Hurry, hurry around, bypass here, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, get around here, get around here......"

It wasn't until Heiji Kawaguchi gave the order that the devil who was stunned and watched the fire woke up like a dream, and hurriedly looked to both sides to see if he could find a gap and leave this terrible place.

At this time, although the more than 100 burning points had spread out, they were not connected into a complete line, and after a while, the devil really found several gaps, but just as the devil was about to pass through this gap and leave Mustang Beach, the accident suddenly happened, and the dense gunfire rang out from the front without warning.

A small group of devils who walked in the front immediately fell down like weeds that had been cut down.

Hearing the gunshot, Yongjin Tatsuya's heart suddenly jumped, and he seemed to realize something.

Yongjin Tatsuya, an old devil, has not yet realized that something very bad has happened, and he is still wondering how there are still enemies outside the Wild Horse Beach?

"It's weird." Yongjin Da was also confused, "The Dameishan Independent Regiment has been defeated, and the entire regiment is trapped at the end of the Wild Horse Beach, but how can there be a branch army outside this beach?" Could it be their so-called militia? Kuroda-san, you personally led an infantry squadron to defeat these Chinese militia as soon as possible and clear the way forward. ”

"Hello." Kuroda slammed his head, and then personally led an infantry squadron to attack through the gap.

However, the next scene made Yongjin Da also couldn't believe his eyes, the 4th Infantry Squadron of the 3rd Infantry Brigade had just stepped into the gap between the two ground fires, and more than a dozen dazzling tongues of fire immediately strafed from the front, and the dense crossfire locked the entire gap at once, and the 4th Infantry Squadron fell down one by one in an instant because it could not spread the formation, and in just a moment, it had already killed and injured forty or fifty people.

"No way, this can't be!" Yongjin Da Ye suddenly opened his eyes, and said hoarsely, "This is absolutely impossible, such rapid firepower is definitely not a militia, this is definitely the regular army of the Zhina Army!" But hasn't the Dameishan Independent Regiment been defeated, and the remnants of the entire regiment are trapped at the end of the beach? What's going on? ”
