Chapter 42 New types of mines

Today is the first watch, and there is a second watch in the evening, asking for recommendations, asking for collections, etc......

The battle on Giethoorn's side was so fierce that the 3rd Regiment, which was responsible for blocking the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, also began to engage with the Beidao Wing, the vanguard of the 5th Division.

Before the Third Infantry Regiment set out, Zhang Yunlong repeatedly explained the task to Qian Long, the commander of the Third Regiment, that is, to block the enemy's reinforcements as much as possible and reduce the marching speed of the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army as much as possible.

The Fifth Division of the Army has more than 20,000 people, although most of them are recruits of the little devils, but the third infantry regiment is only more than 2,000 people, and the little devils have an absolute advantage in numbers, not to mention, the third infantry regiment has not had time to change its equipment, and the whole regiment is still mainly based on weapons and equipment.

An hour earlier, the main force of the Third Infantry Regiment had reached this place called Jing'ergou, which was a necessary place for the army, and if they bypassed Jing'ergou and took other roads, they might have to travel hundreds of miles.

Jingergou is just a small place, the mountain here is not high, the terrain is not dangerous, it belongs to the hilly terrain, fortunately, the vegetation is still dense, there are thatchs and bushes everywhere, it is convenient for the soldiers to hide, a loess road winds along the mountain to the west, until it leads to Datong two or three hundred kilometers away.

As soon as they arrived at Jing'ergou, the first battalion and one company in charge of reconnaissance sent a message that a large number of devils had been found more than ten miles ahead, and the size was about one wing.

Since there was already a large army of devils in front of him, he had no choice but to hide on the spot and block the enemy.

Qian Long, the commander of the third regiment, dispersed the troops, and sent the first battalion to lay mines a few miles ahead to slow down the enemy's journey, the second battalion laid ambushes on both sides of the road, preparing to sneak attack and harass the enemy, and the third battalion went to the rear to find favorable terrain to hide, so that it was good to fight the little devil's stuffy stick.

A few miles ahead of Jing'ergou, a battalion completed minelaying work, and more than 1,000 mines newly developed and produced by the Huanglongxia Arsenal were planted on the highway and on both sides of the road.

The mine is small, a little smaller than a grenade, and the casing is a ceramic casing filled with explosives and a large amount of broken ceramics, which cannot be detected by ordinary mine detectors.

Once the little devil steps on this kind of mine, the mine will bounce up more than a meter high and explode in mid-air, and the power of the explosion is no worse than a grenade.

The Third Regiment blocked the Fifth Division this time, and Qian Long, the commander of the Third Regiment, brought all the thousands of these freshly produced grenades from the arsenal's inventory with the soldiers.

Just when everything was in place and only the east wind was owed, the figure of the little devil finally appeared on the road ahead, the little devil was neatly arranged, a row of three people, marching along the road, and the first was a little devil Jun Cao.

The little devil Jun Cao was holding a 38 cover in his hand, and a plaster flag was hanging on the bayonet of his rifle, which was particularly dazzling.

Just as the little devil's nostrils were facing the sky, he was walking with his legs in a hoop high, and when he was marching forward, Qian Long, who was observing from a distance, found that the little devil who was leading the way had entered the minefield.

The little devil who entered the minefield didn't find anything abnormal at all, but suddenly felt as if he had stepped on a hard object under his feet, and the little devil hurriedly moved away from the right foot that stepped on the hard object, only to see the place he had just stepped on with a "tom" sound, and a black whirring thing popped out of the soil, and the little devil didn't react to what was going on, this bounced black thing at a height of more than one meter, there was a violent explosion, and the leading little devil Jun Cao was directly killed.

Behind the little devil Jun Cao, several little devils who were two or three meters away were also affected, and they were seriously injured by the explosion, lying in the place and groaning in pain.

Qian Long, who was observing from a distance, saw the good power of the mine, clenched his fist happily and waved it in the air.

Hearing the violent explosion, the little devils on the march stopped, and a little devil Shaozuo hurriedly called a few sappers, holding metal detectors, to come over to clear the mines.

Several little devil sappers took metal detectors, carefully checked the road ahead for a few minutes, and after finding nothing abnormal, they turned around and talked to the devil Shaozuo, who heard the sappers say that no mines were found in front, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the troops to continue to advance.

The team of little devils did not go more than ten meters, and several unlucky devils stepped on the mine one after another, this time affecting more than a dozen devils, and several devils went directly to see Aunt Amaterasu.

Seeing that there were mines again, the devil Shaozuo angrily grabbed the collar of a little ghost sapper, crackled a few times, and directly beat the little ghost sapper into a pig's head, and the rest of the little ghost sappers were silent, and immediately took the metal detector and started to clear the mines.

Qian Long in the distance, seeing the appearance of the little ghost, his stomach was about to burst with laughter, but he couldn't make a sound, so he could only endure it. Seeing that the little devil sapper began to clear mines again, Qian Long picked up the Type 38 rifle of a soldier next to him, adjusted the ruler, and aimed at a little devil sapper 400 meters away.

Seeing that someone was shooting here, dozens of devils suddenly screamed in their mouths, and got off the highway, shooting in this direction and running towards this side.

Not long after these dozens of devils got off the road, they also stepped on the mines planted by a battalion of soldiers on both sides of the road, and after a few explosions, dozens of devils were reimbursed.

When the rest of the devils saw this scene, they didn't dare to get off the road, and set up machine guns to shoot at Qian Long and them, and Qian Long and they had already run along the hillside and hid in the distance, and the little devils didn't find Qian Long and them from beginning to end.

The co-captain of Kitajima United, Masao Kitajima, heard the explosion ahead, poked his head out of the truck he was in and asked, "What's going on ahead?" ”

A communications soldier next to him hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency, Tubalu has planted a large number of mines on the road ahead, and dozens of warriors stepped on the mines just now and shattered them. ”

"Baga, quickly order the sappers to clear the mines, quickly drip quickly." Kitajima Masao Road.

After speaking, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said to the signal soldier: "Pass my order and order the troops to speed up the march." ”

I didn't see the shadow of the Eighth Route Army, and the little devil began to clear mines again, but this time the effect was still similar to the last time, and there was still nothing.

Seeing that it had been delayed here for so long, the troops behind also rushed over one after another, and a large number of little devils blocked this section of the road, and the road was crowded with dense and large areas of little devils.

As the vanguard of the North Island United, it was actually blocked here by the mines of the Dirt Eighth Road, and the little devil's Shaozuo was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Qian Long, the commander of the third regiment, who was hiding in the distance, looked at the dense little devils on the road, felt that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly ordered the commander of the first battalion to hit all the mortars, ready to take the little devils by surprise.

There were three companies in the first battalion, each with six 60-mm mortars, and the first battalion had a total of 18 60-mm slappers.

After the soldiers set up the cannons, Qian Long pointed to the dense little devils on the road in front of him, and said to dozens of gunners, in this position, ten rounds of rapid fire, don't fall in love with the battle after the battle, and retreat immediately after the ten shells.

Seeing the dense little devils in front of them, all the gunners looked very excited, skillfully adjusted the shooting parameters, and immediately fired ten sharp shots, and most of the shells fell in the dense small devils.

At such a close distance, Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division usually trains and shoots live ammunition, so the 10 rapid shots of 18 60-mm slapstick guns are amazingly lethal, and when the smoke clears, the highway is full of stumps and broken arms, and there are bomb craters everywhere, a scene of hell on earth, and the devil Shaozuo, who had previously organized sappers to clear mines, was also blown apart.

Taking advantage of such a big advantage, Qian Long immediately organized the soldiers of the first battalion to retreat, rendezvous with the soldiers of the second battalion, and ambushed to the side of the road on both sides of Jing'ergou.
