Chapter 62: Further procrastination

"Battalion commander, what should we do next? The devil will be coming soon. The soldier looked at Zhang Dabiao, his eyes full of worry.

The flames burning in the position only delayed the devils for half an hour, and they could see that the devils had begun to assemble again, making preparations before the battle. In the next battle, if you want to continue to delay the footsteps of the devils, you need the soldiers to fight harder.

"Don't worry, isn't there a minefield we've set up over there? Besides, in addition to the minefield, we still have traps set up, don't worry, it's almost noon, as long as we can repel this attack of the devils, then we can rest for a while. Zhang Dabiao glanced at the sun in the sky and said in a deep voice.

The soldier nodded, staying by the side of Zhang Dabiao, the battalion commander, he could feel a little safe. The soldiers admired the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao very much, and he knew a lot about the brilliant achievements of Zhang Dabiao, the battalion commander, from other veterans.

Ten minutes later, the devils rushed towards the woods in a triangular formation, and they could be seen to be very vigilant. Once there is any abnormality and the figure of the Eighth Route Army is found, these devils will shoot decisively. The leader of the devil squadron in charge of the command stood on the original position of the first battalion, and behind him were three mortars.

These three mortars were specially applied for by the squadron leader from the rear, in order to suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army and defeat the Eighth Route Army blocking the advance of the team as soon as possible. Looking at the mountains and forests without any movement, the squadron leader had a serious expression, and he could imagine that those Eighth Route Army would definitely not leave easily.

The squadron leader was a little puzzled, as far as he knew, in the surrounding area of Linxian, there were no troops of the Eighth Route Army with such strong firepower. The battle with this Eighth Route Army unit made the squadron leader feel a little pressure, and the enemy's combat intention was obvious, in order to delay their advance.

"Boom"

A mine was stepped on by the advancing devil, and the devil was blown away, and when it hit the ground, there was no complete corpse in sight. The devils quickly dispersed, prepared for battle in place, and soon special sappers came to clear the mines.

"Battalion commander, do you want to get rid of these devil's sappers?" Looking at Zhang Dabiao, the soldier beside him asked.

Zhang Dabiao shook his head, the mountains and forests are beneficial to the soldiers of the new regiment, but because of this, they can't choose to take action against these devils' sappers. The sappers who attacked the devil for the first time were fine, but when the devil was on guard, if he chose to do so again, it would be easy to suffer certain casualties.

"Don't worry, let them platoon, we have more than just mines." Zhang Dabiao said with a smile.

The devil's sappers were slowly advancing with mine detectors, and the area they were detecting was not large, they only needed to accommodate the devil soldiers to continue to advance. Detecting too many areas will waste too much time, but the squadron leader has made a military order to complete the cleaning of the mountain today.

"Poof"

The body of the devil sapper who was walking in the front suddenly sank, and he fell into a trap covered with wooden thorns, and a scream of pain rang out, and several wooden thorns directly pierced the soles of the sapper's feet. And due to the sudden sinking of the body, the devil failed to react, and his body fell directly on the wooden thorns, and some wooden thorns penetrated deep into the devil's body, and blood kept gushing out. The sapper's body was subconsciously struggling due to the pain, but the more he struggled, the more painful he became.

The sappers looked at the comrade who fell into the trap, and they were a little apprehensive, they had a mine detector in their hands, but the mine detector could not help them detect where the trap existed. The sappers continued to move forward under the urging of the squad leader, and there were ghost soldiers behind them to rescue the sappers who had fallen into the trap.

When he was rescued, the sappers were constantly moaning in pain, so that the devil sappers, who were not advancing fast, couldn't help but slow down their progress again.

With the presence of mine detectors, the devil's sappers quickly found several places where mines were displayed, and directly left a certain distance and used grenades to detonate the mines directly, manual demining was too dangerous and too time-consuming. A few grenades went down, and the mines planted by the fighters of the first battalion were directly detonated.

"Battalion commander, let the devil go on like this, and the mines we planted will soon be cleared." The soldier looked at the mine detonated by the devil sapper and couldn't help but speak again.

Zhang Dabiao shook his head, "Don't worry, at the speed of the devil sapper, it will take a certain amount of time to clear a safe road." ”

"Besides, there are mines in the surrounding area, and when the devils walk on this road, we will shoot again and force the devils to disperse."

The soldiers of the first battalion were patiently hidden, and the veterans wiped the rifles in their hands, relieving the pressure on the battlefield. After a battle, the recruits have also improved a lot, they are no longer so rough, and they have also learned from the veterans to wipe the rifles in their hands, and the entire battalion has maintained a quiet enough atmosphere.

Half an hour later, the devils were less than 400 meters away from the soldiers of the first battalion, and the explosions that sounded from time to time were the mines planted by the devils detonating the soldiers of the first battalion. As the distance between the devils continued to shrink, the warriors became a little nervous, and soon they would have to fight these devils again.

Seeing the devil's sappers continue to advance, Zhang Dabiao directly ordered the soldiers in the first battalion with good shooting skills to shoot, and with him, the devil's sappers were knocked out. Zhang Dabiao didn't pay attention to the mines that the devil's sappers had cleared before, but the remaining mines still had to deal with the devil's charge, and Zhang Dabiao would not let the devil's sappers continue to play a role.

"Hit!" Zhang Dabiao shouted.

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dabiao pulled the trigger of the rifle, and the bullet directly hit the eye of a devil sapper, piercing his head directly. Other fighters also shot one after another, but at a distance of four hundred meters, the devil's helmet still had some effect, and two or three sappers survived.

The remaining sappers decisively lay down, faced with the fire of the Eighth Route Army, and chose to retreat, undoubtedly at the risk of being killed. The devil soldiers, who were not far behind the sappers, reacted and began to shoot one after another, and a large number of bullets flew towards the position of the first battalion.

The distance of four hundred meters makes it difficult for the devils to hit the fighters of the first battalion, their shooting skills are good, but not so good that everyone is a sharpshooter. Occasionally, a soldier was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet from a devil, and it did not threaten his life.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The devil's mortar locked onto the area where the first battalion was located, and directly started the shelling, and at the same time, the devil's infantry artillery also turned on the artillery support mode again at the request of the squadron leader!

In a short time, several shells fell on the position of the first battalion, and the fighters curled up their bodies to avoid being attacked by the shells as much as possible. Probably because the devils hated the fighters of the first battalion too much and delayed them for too long, the shelling of the devils lasted for nearly ten minutes, and the area where the first battalion was located was almost bombed.

"Genzi, my brother can only go so far, I hope your artillery battery can really play a role." When the shelling ended, Zhang Dabiao shook his head vigorously to sober himself up.
