On the main road, the soldiers of the Matsushita Brigade of the 41st Brigade of the Japanese Army were advancing.

According to the usual practice, it was the puppet army that walked in the forefront, and this time it was a regiment of Li Shouxin's security army that set off with the team, numbering about 1,500 people, led by Jin Shaoshan, who was also a bandit in Rehe Province, and had many bloody cases on his body.

Behind the puppet army who was holding a rifle and looking around, followed by the machine gunner of the devil, four Type 92 heavy machine guns were carried by the machine gunner, and the ammunition or something followed behind.

After that, there were all the infantry, they lined up in a neat queue, and under the command of their respective commanders, they marched towards Meiling Town with neat steps.

Further back, there is the artillery brigade, and in their ranks are several mountain and field guns, ready to suppress fire and open gaps during the siege, which will play an important role when the time comes.

The commander of the Panasonic Brigade rode on his tall horse, and the surrounding environment was surrounded by him, seeing that the terrain here was flat and there was no way to set up an ambush at all, so he put his mind at ease and began to plan how to attack Meiling Town.

Although Meiling Town is only a town in name, it has a population of 70,000 or 80,000 and covers an area of several square kilometers. There are also several watchtowers, which further enhance the town's firepower.

As for the gate, it is made of the trunk of a century-old tree, and the thickness reaches half a meter, and it takes a lot of effort to open such a thick wooden door.

"So, it seems that the time will depend on the power of the mountain artillery unit." The commander of the Panasonic Brigade lowered his head and pondered the tactics after the battle, and in his mind he had basically determined the tactics of covering the mountain artillery and coordinating the attack of the combat vehicle.

At this moment, there was a commotion in front of him, disturbing Matsushita's train of thought, and he shouted angrily to the herald beside him, "Go, see what's going on ahead." ”

The herald hurried down, and soon ran back, panting and said, "Brigade commander, go and have a look, a sign has been erected in front of it, and some words are written on it. ”

"Baga, what a fuss, what's so strange about a brand?" Panasonic scolded angrily, and then said, "Is it worth delaying the progress of such a trivial matter, pass on my order, and the team continues to move forward." ”

The herald had a look of embarrassment on his face, and he said in a slur manner, "Brigade commander, that sign says -- this minefield, don't blame you for the explosion." ”

"What?"

This incident was so strange that he could not help but be surprised, and he hurriedly hurried his horse to the front of the team to see what was going on.

At the front of the team was the third regiment of Jin Shaoshan's security army, all wearing khaki uniforms, crooked hats and slanting eyes, looking like they were alive and well off the bandits descending the mountain, but at this time they all gathered together and pointed not far away.

"What's going on?" Panasonic came to Jin Shaoshan and turned his head to look at the big fat man.

Jin Shaoshan shook his big head, and then said puzzledly, "Matsushita Taijun, I don't know, I walked here with people, and I saw this brand." ”

According to the direction pointed out by Jin Shaoshan, Panasonic looked around, and sure enough, he saw a sign poking on the side of the road not far in front of him, with some words written on it.

"Don't blame this minefield for being killed!"

Taking off the binoculars, Panasonic clearly saw the handwriting on the sign through it, and couldn't help but be furious, "Yaga, a group of villagers dare to scare the Japanese Imperial Army like this." ”

"Taijun, I think it's better to be cautious, in case there are mines, then your life will be gone." Jin Shaoshan was a habitual bandit, fierce and cautious, so he proposed, "Why don't we go in first, and send someone in to have a look." ”

Jin Shaoshan meant to send sappers to explore the way, so wouldn't it be clear? But Matsushita didn't think the same as he thought, he nodded, and then waved his hand, "You're right, the security army sent some people in to take a look." ”

"Muddy horse, isn't this treating us as inappropriate people?" When Jin Shaoshan heard this, he couldn't help but scold himself in his heart, he didn't expect that the devil would really have this idea and treat the security army as cannon fodder.

But there is no way, they became puppet soldiers and worked for the devils, and now they can only listen to the devils. Jin Shaoshan frowned and ordered, "Tang San, you take a few people in to take a look." ”

"Big boss, this-" Tang San couldn't help but shrink his neck, looking very reluctant.

Jin Shaoshan's eyes widened, and he raised his leg is a kick, "What are you doing with grinding and chirping, Lao Tzu will go if you ask you to go." ”

Tang San couldn't help it, he muttered and cursed in a low voice, and then walked towards the sign with his class, secretly scolding Jin Shaoshan and the Japanese in his heart as he walked.

More than a dozen people came to the front of the sign with trepidation, and after a little hesitation, they saw that the devil raised his gun to their backs, so he had to walk behind the sign with fear.

Walking tremblingly on the road, with solid soil under their feet, several people all felt that their legs and feet were a little trembling, and while walking, they prayed in their hearts to the gods and Buddhas of the heavens and the gods who passed by, "God, bless me to escape this catastrophe." ”

Cautiously went dozens of meters deeper, but nothing happened, and a few people were happy at this moment, they turned around and waved at Jin Shaoshan and Panasonic, "Big boss, Taijun, it's okay, come in." ”

Seeing that more than a dozen people were fine, Panasonic and Jin Shaoshan were relieved, they waved their hands and ordered the team to move forward, and they returned to their own position and continued to direct the team to move forward.

Seeing that the puppet army had all entered the minefield, and the devils had also reached the edge of the minefield, several spy battalion scouts lying on the hills were happy, and they had already held the remote-controlled detonation device in their hands, just waiting for the devils to enter and then detonate.

At this moment, the devils below suddenly stopped again, and the Japanese officer seemed to be muttering something, and then the devil's team changed, and the four teams became two, and now the team more than doubled, and there were obviously fewer devils entering the minefield.

"What should I do?" Seeing that the puppet army in front was about to get out of the minefield, and there was still a large section of the devils behind who had not entered the minefield, several soldiers were a little anxious in their hearts, and the order they got was to delay the time for the devils to arrive in Meiling Town as much as possible, so as to get more time to prepare for the army's preparation for war.

Seeing that the Japanese officer had already entered the minefield, the reconnaissance platoon commander in charge gritted his teeth and gave the order, "Bomb!" ”

The six scouts pressed the detonation button almost simultaneously, and a red light lit up on the detonator.

At the same time, on the road below the hills, dazzling sparks exploded, and the violent explosion made the earth tremble slightly, and the rising smoke and dust clouds obscured half of the sky.

These mines are all high-explosive mines, much more powerful than the average one, the security forces at the forefront received the heaviest blows, in the blink of an eye a third of the team was blown away, and many of the remaining people were injured and fell to the ground in pain.

The casualties of the Japanese troops who followed closely behind the puppet army were smaller, but many were killed and wounded, and fell to the ground in pools of blood.

The commander of the Panasonic Brigade was also blown up, and a steel ball penetrated his ears and calves, giving him two more transparent holes, and blood sprayed outward like money.

Someone was protected and withdrew from the minefield, and immediately someone blew the commander of the Panasonic brigade with an explosion wound that stopped the bleeding.

Sitting on the stretcher carried by several soldiers, Matsushita looked at the miserable scene in front of him, and couldn't help but be angry, "Baga, these people should be killed, and I actually lost a large number of troops." ”

Just now, after he stretched the line, there were not too many Japanese soldiers entering the minefield, and the spacing was relatively large, so the casualties were a little smaller.

Even so, four or five hundred devils were blown away by this mine.
