Chapter 50: The Brilliant Fireworks (2)
If it is said that when the devil was shelling, Li Mingrui could still calm down under Yang Zhen's suppression. When he saw the devil's sharp soldiers crossing the mine headquarters and slowly marching towards the hill where he was, he was a little impatient.
Li Mingrui put a new magazine on the fast and slow machine in his hand, turned around and whispered after breaking the nose of the machine: "Sir Yang, is it time to fight?" If we don't fight again, the devil will rush up the mountain in a while, and once we are glued, we won't be able to retreat......"
Yang Zhen shook his head, let go of Zhang Ting, who had already stabilized, and said, "It's not time yet, be steady." Tell the brothers that as long as the devil does not go up the mountain, he is not allowed to shoot. Also, you should immediately count the casualties and see how many of us have suffered in the shelling of the devils. Under the nose of the devil, if you don't expose your actions, you can do it. ”
Seeing that Yang Zhen still refused to give the order to shoot, Li Mingrui was a little anxious: "Sir Yang, this devil is now less than fifty meters away from the foot of the mountain. If we don't shoot, with our people and firepower, it will be difficult for us to suppress them again as soon as the devils go up the mountain. This mountain has no slope or height, and our firepower is weak, and the devils can rush up with just one charge. ”
Hearing the eagerness in Li Mingrui's tone, Yang Zhen still didn't nod. Yang Zhen just said calmly: "You can stop the devil by shooting now?" The devil came out of this is just a sharp soldier, and the main force has not moved yet. In other words, the devil has not yet determined whether we are still here, and when you shot us, didn't you clearly tell the devil that we are here now? ”
"Why are you so breathless now? Sue the brothers, if you don't want to die quickly, you don't order anyone to shoot. In addition, tell the brothers to take out all the grenades left by Lao Guo, and after a while, the devils will go up the mountain and greet them with grenades first. Go ahead, be careful not to let the devils find out. Now I guess there is more than one telescope watching us. ”
Yang Zhen's stubbornness made Li Mingrui shake his head helplessly, turned around and cautiously crawled to the side. Although he followed Guo Bingxun in the army for a while, this temporary command was not his forte. In addition, before Guo Bingxun left, he repeatedly told him that he must protect this Chief Yang. Seeing the devil's spearhead coming, it was normal for him to be a little anxious.
There were only a few people on the mountain, and Li Mingrui didn't have to do anything to convey Yang Zhen's order to everyone. But the casualty figures brought back by Li Mingrui made Yang Zhen feel a little distressed. However, after ten minutes of shelling, four people were killed and six were slightly wounded. In other words, under the cover of artillery fire for a while, Yang Zhen lost half of the little capital he had.
Yang Zhen, who was holding a telescope and observing the movements of the Japanese army, heard the number reported by Li Mingrui, and his hands trembled involuntarily. When he heard Li Mingrui tell him that the four brothers who died in battle were all injured, because they were ordered not to move and stood up until the blood dried up and died, Yang Zhen's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.
Not wanting to expose his weakness in front of others, Yang Zhen didn't dare to put down the telescope in his hand, and just nodded to indicate that he knew about Li Mingrui's report. But he was full of emotion in his heart: "What is a Chinese soldier, this is." ”
"Although they are poorly trained, they are even poorly equipped. Many times it is even difficult to ask for food and clothing, but they have always had the courage to fight against strong enemies. Chinese soldiers are the best soldiers in the world, and they are the most hard-working soldiers. When necessary, he is also the soldier who is least afraid of death. As long as they are given good training and excellent commanders, they will be the most combat-ready troops in the entire world. ”
After sighing for a long time, Yang Zhen put down the telescope in his hand. Although it was well covered, Zhang Ting, who had already woken up from the shock of the shelling at the moment, found tears in the corners of his eyes.
Yang Zhen's heart couldn't help himself for a long time, and after conveying the order, Li Mingrui, who quietly returned to his side at this moment, saw the devil soldiers under the mountain stop nearly fifty meters away from the foot of the mountain, and after starting to be vigilant on the spot, he was also relieved.
Seeing that the spearhead soldiers he sent had reached the foot of the mountain only fifty meters away, the mountain still did not react at all. Nobu Changde, who had been carefully observing the movements of the spearheads, finally put down the binoculars in his hand with some frustration.
Looking at the commander with a somewhat frustrated expression on his face, Masao Iwayama didn't dare to disturb and arranged for the troops to rest and eat by himself. As for the position where the commander was going to stay, he naturally moved into that small building according to the arrangement of Deputy Changde.
The small building that can't accommodate many people naturally can't accommodate these Japanese puppet soldiers. For the hierarchical Japanese army, the only small building here was naturally a resting place for senior officers. The rest place of other officers and soldiers can only be on the open space in front of the small building.
It turned out that Yang Zhen had left it here, and the bodies of the two dozen pseudo-policemen and the three Japanese directors who had been ignored by Ye Vice Changde before naturally couldn't stay here. And the matter of carrying the corpse, the noble Imperial Japanese Army will not do it himself. The commander of the puppet Manchurian army who led the team still has this vision.
Just when the puppet Manchu army, which had been temporarily assigned as a porter, carried the corpses and put the bodies of the puppet Manchu policemen and the Japanese separately for separate disposal, the already stiff corpses suddenly exploded violently.
I didn't expect these corpses to explode, and the puppet Manchu soldiers who couldn't get off guard were killed and injured all over the place. It also affected several Japanese soldiers who were passing by.
"Yaga, what's going on? How could these corpses explode? Iwayama Masao, who was walking towards the small building behind Vice-Chandeok, heard the explosion, and when he looked back and saw the dead and wounded puppet Manchu soldiers at the scene, he couldn't help but say angrily.
Before his words could be heard, the wellhead of the Japanese army, which was filling the area for water, exploded almost at the same time. With this violent explosion, what had just happened to the puppet Manchu army was replicated again in the Japanese soldiers.
Looking at the dead and wounded Japanese puppet soldiers, although Nobu Changde, who had already walked into the small building, seemed extremely calm on the surface, a strong sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
After listening to Iwayama Masao's report, Uchino Vice Changde, who was sitting in the luxuriously decorated office of the Japanese director of the Wudaoling Iron Mine, waved his hand weakly, and just said, "Tell the troops to be vigilant." Don't do anything like that anymore. And there was no more to follow.
Looking at the novice Changde who was silent, he suffered a big loss, and lost almost the entire team, and said with some unwillingness: "Your Excellency, do we have to swallow this loss?" Do you want to send troops to sweep around? ”
"No need, it's just a small trick that the people of the branch have played cleverly and arranged. You send small troops to sweep and beware of falling for their tricks. Tell the soldiers, hurry up and rest. After eating, go around and grab some people and make a human shield. ”
The request of Masao Iwayama, who didn't know the details, to stop the rest and start the sweep immediately was rejected by Nobu Changtoku, who needed to think carefully about what to do next. Iwayama Masao didn't know what these people had done to provoke the Kwantung Army headquarters to be so angry, but Nobu Changtoku, who had read the most detailed report of the Harbin gendarmerie, knew very well.
Although he didn't know how these people got out of the heavily guarded epidemic prevention and water supply department, he also easily got rid of almost all the people in the entire epidemic prevention and water supply department. Those Zhina people not only fought their way out of the encirclement with their bare fists, but also eliminated an elite squadron of Imperial soldiers, which is not a special ability, and it is simply impossible to do it. These people should not be underestimated.
The sound of explosions outside made Nobu Changde's originally hot head calm down at this time. Recalling the contents of that report, Nobe had a faint feeling in his heart that he had met a strong opponent this time.
It's just that Nobu Changde didn't expect that the strong opponent in his heart was on the hill behind him, carefully trying to avoid alarming the Japanese warning position only fifty meters away from him, and checking that there was a problem with the wire.
Yang Zhen's original plan was to use the explosion sound in the open space as a signal for detonation, but what made him feel his crow's mouth a little was that after the explosion sounded in the open space, he pressed the detonator in his hand, but found that the detonator that was supposed to create an explosion did not react at all.
The silence of the detonator, Yang Zhen knew that he had guessed correctly, it must have been a part of the wire that was blown up in the Japanese artillery bombardment just now. The Japanese shelling was concentrated on the mountain, and no shells fell at the foot of the mountain. I think the wire from the bottom of the mountain to my position was blown off.
Yang Zhen cautiously raised his head, looked at the Japanese garrison position at the foot of the mountain, and glanced at the location of his buried wire on the hillside. Sure enough, less than thirty meters from his right front, a small crater was lying across the part where he had buried the wire. The two ends of the blown wires were being exposed in broad daylight.
Looking at the position where the wire was blown off, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, it was not very long, only about half a meter was blown up. As long as you plug the half of the wire into the detonator first, there should be no problem.
But there is one thing that Yang Zhen is a little worried about, the location that was blown off is a small open space, and if he goes there, he can't avoid the eyes of the Japanese army under the mountain. But let Yang Zhen give up the opportunity in front of him, he was really a little unwilling.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Zhen called Li Mingrui and said, "You immediately take the brothers to be careful, try not to alarm the devil to retreat, and I will reconnect the wire." We can't afford to cheapen those little devils for nothing. ”
Regarding Yang Zhen's words, Li Mingrui shook his head and disagreed: "No, it's too dangerous." There was a small clearing, and it was exposed to the devil's sight. It's even more within the range of the heavy machine gun of the devil below. If something happens to you, what will happen to the rest of the brothers here? If you insist on detonating it, Sir Yang, then I'll go, and you'll command here. ”
Yang Zhen looked at Li Mingrui and said, "Are you going?" Would you fiddle with this thing? You won't, what are you going to? I'll go, it's the order. You retreat with your brothers first, and remember not to alarm the devils. ”
After saying that, Yang Zhen waved his hand gently, signaling that he could retreat, and then took the detonator and gently moved towards the place where it was blown off.
Looking at the back of Yang Zhen, who was crawling towards that small clearing, Li Mingrui couldn't help but hammer his head with some chagrin. I really don't know how to get the detonator, if Chief Yang learns it by himself while he is fiddling with it, he won't be as helpless as he is now.
While Li Mingrui was annoyed in his heart, he couldn't help but complain a little that this Chief Yang was really a little stubborn, since there was no more chance, then just give up, why bother to take the risk yourself.
Li Mingrui knew that the reason why Yang Zhen resolutely detonated the buried explosives and stewed these Japanese puppet troops was for the sake of the large army in the final analysis.
Yang Zhen knew that the Japanese puppet army had planes to help, and a large number of cavalry to cooperate. If you don't want to find a way to solve these Japanese puppet troops in front of you, with so many burdens, the main force that can't move faster than you think, you won't be able to get rid of the Japanese army's pursuit at all. It won't be long before the devils catch up.
According to the current estimation of the combat effectiveness of those brothers, once they are caught up by the devils, it will be difficult to get rid of them. And judging from the number of Japanese puppet troops in front of him, Yang Zhen knew that he had become tired brothers now, and coupled with the gap in his own combat effectiveness, he could not see any hope of winning at all.
Unable to fight, unable to get rid of the pursuers when he walked, Yang Zhen could imagine with his eyes closed, once he was caught up by the devil, what would await those brothers. If he wanted to prevent these devils from catching up, Yang Zhen knew that he could only take the sword sideways and take some special measures. This is also the reason why Yang Zhen insisted on detonating explosives.
The persuasion was unsuccessful, and in desperation, Li Mingrui, who could not leave Yang Zhen alone, had to softly tell his brothers to prepare for battle. Once the devils under the mountain discovered Yang Zhen, they used firepower to provide cover for Yang Zhen.
With years of military experience, Yang Zhen is not a reckless person. He decided to connect the blown wires himself, not rashly. If we talk about camouflage our own techniques in order to achieve suddenness on the battlefield, if the PLA, which has never had a firepower advantage in a battle with a strong enemy, is said to be second, I am afraid that no one will dare to rank first.
And Yang Zhen is one of the best among them, and this camouflage method is naturally not bad. Now Yang Zhen is in a mountainous area with good vegetation, and this camouflage is everywhere. At this moment, Yang Zhen disguised himself as a bush, and without showing a trace, he was heading towards the place where it was blown off.
Although Yang Zhen's movements were extremely cautious, he was too close to the devil now. At a distance of fifty meters, it can be said that he is moving under the nose of a devil. Just when he was less than five meters away from the place where he was blown up, Yang Zhen's good luck came to an end, and his actions were detected by the devil.
It's just that Yang Zhen's disguise is really good, although he noticed that someone was active, but the devil checked it several times, but he never saw anything abnormal.
Although he didn't see anything, the vigilant devils fired at the mountain with heavy machine guns from time to time. Just this burst of bullets from time to time brought great trouble to Yang Zhen. Fortunately, although the Japanese soldiers on the alert position felt abnormal, they did not really see Yang Zhen, and most of them shot blindly.
But the development of things was far from smooth, just when Yang Zhen had already grabbed the broken end of the wire and was stuffing it into the detonator, the Japanese soldiers, who were already less than fifty meters away from him, finally found the source of their uneasiness.
Finding that there was suddenly a haystack in a small open space that was originally empty, the Japanese soldiers on the guard position immediately felt abnormal. Almost all the light and heavy weapons swept towards Yang Zhen. A few soldiers even came straight to Yang Zhen's position with a 38-type rifle with bayonets on them.
Seeing that the devil had already discovered Yang Zhen's movements, especially seeing the blood that flowed out of Yang Zhen's left leg after being hit. Li Mingrui on the mountain didn't care if he would expose himself, nor did he care about Yang Zhen's order, so he took the 38 rifle left by Yang Zhen and directly aimed at the devil who wanted to rush up the mountain and fired.
As soon as he opened fire, the other brothers on the mountain, as long as they could pick up their guns, followed and fired desperately down the mountain. The only crooked handle shot desperately, trying to suppress the Japanese army's Type 92 heavy machine gun that was shooting at Yang Zhen.
It's just that their firepower is too weak, and while suppressing the firepower under the mountain, they can't completely stop the actions of a few devils who rushed up the mountain. Although the Japanese troops who went straight to Yang Zhen slowed down, they could not completely suppress them.
Hearing the gunfire of the return fire on the mountain, and enduring the severe pain in his left leg that was shot, although Yang Zhen's movements did not stop, he couldn't help but secretly cry bitterly in his heart, secretly scolding Li Mingrui for disobeying his orders. Instead of retreating, he took the initiative to open fire to expose his position.
Just after Yang Zhen reconnected the wire, inadvertently raised his head and saw a few devils who had rushed to less than ten meters away from him in the face of bullets from the mountain, he immediately understood Li Mingrui's intentions.
Yang Zhen was not ambiguous about these devils who rushed up, and after taking out his pistol and shooting three times at the three devils who rushed to the front, his free left hand pressed on the detonator that had been connected to the wire again without hesitation.
With the fall of Yang Zhen's left hand, several huge roars resounded throughout the valley in a row, and they could be heard clearly from more than ten miles away. The whole mining area shook like an earthquake. Nearly 1,000 catties of explosives exploded at almost the same time, and the smoke from the explosion plunged the mining area, which had just come out of the night, into darkness again.
Seeing that the explosives had been detonated, Yang Zhen pulled his injured leg with difficulty, and before he had time to take a look at his results, he returned to the mountain and pressed another detonator connected with the explosives buried under the small railway, with the support of Li Mingrui, who was running down the mountain quickly.
