Chapter 233: Stalling for Time

The devils who went south from the direction of Heshun appeared in the sight of Liu Gen and others, these devils were wearing khaki military uniforms, and their steps were neat, and they wanted to train a lot on weekdays.

There are about 700 devils in a brigade, and these devils are devils stationed in Heshun County, and they have a whole brigade. Generally speaking, the garrison in the county seat of the devil is also a small team, and the county seat where a squadron is arranged is the county seat that the devil attaches special importance to. And Heshun County can have a large brigade of reinforcements, I think it should be the devils from the strongholds around Heshun County, otherwise there will be so many devils.

Looking at these devils from a distance, you can see that these devils do not carry too many heavy weapons, in order to be able to support the county seat of Liaoxian County as soon as possible, the devils who went south from Heshun chose to travel lightly to ensure that they could support the county seat of Liaoxian County as soon as possible.

Noticing this, Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief, if these devils were still carrying a large number of heavy weapons, then it would undoubtedly be impossible to successfully resist the footsteps of these devils in the state of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment. And from the devil equipment seen now, if you want to resist the progress of these devils, you can still do it.

"Boom"

The devils who were moving quickly dispersed, and an unlucky devil stepped on a mine, the mine was not very lethal, but it brought a bit of chaos to the devil. After the devils observed carefully, they failed to find the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army hiding behind the position, and the positions were camouflaged by the soldiers, in order to be discovered by the devils as much as possible.

Failed to find the trace of the Eighth Route Army, the devil's light machine guns strafed around, trying to find the trace of the Eighth Route Army in this way, but after strafing, they still failed to find the slightest abnormality.

On the hillside behind the position, through the telescope, Liu Gen could see the devils gathering and continuing to advance. Looking at these advancing devils, Liu Gen waited for the sound of mine explosions to sound again, he knew that in order to delay the footsteps of the devils as much as possible, the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment buried the mines five hundred meters away from the position.

Of course, since the 727 regiment did not have many mines, the farther away from the position, the fewer mines were laid. But no matter how few mines there are, so many devils will pass, they will definitely be inevitably detonated by devils.

"Boom"

The sound of the mine explosion sounded again, which made the devil's footsteps stagnate, and stepped on a mine again, making the devil realize that these mines were not a coincidence, that is to say, these mines must have been planted by the Eighth Route Army.

The devils had no idea of rushing up the slopes on both sides, first, they couldn't be sure whether the Eighth Route Army was on the slopes on both sides, and secondly, because the slopes were still a certain distance from the road, if they really rushed to the slopes on both sides, it would undoubtedly affect their speed of supporting the county seat of Liaoxian.

"Company commander, the devil has begun to clear mines." Zhang Qiang saw that the devil sent sappers to start demining, and said with some concern.

Liu Gen glanced at the demining devils and laughed, "Don't worry, if the devils like demining, let them clear it, we have enough time for them to clear mines." ”

Hearing Liu Gen's words, Zhang Qiang was slightly stunned, not understanding why Liu Gen would say this. But soon Zhang Qiang understood that this time they came to delay the progress of the devils, not to eliminate these devils, so naturally they didn't have to care about the devils' demining moves.

"Company commander, how long do you think it will take for these devils to finish clearing mines?" Zhang Qiang couldn't help but ask.

Liu Gen thought for a moment, "It will take at least two hours, don't worry, our artillery company is the last to strike." After finding the devil's artillery, choose to shoot again, just wait patiently. ”

Zhang Qiang nodded, he didn't say anything anymore, but kept staring at the devil who was clearing mines.

None of the other fighters of the Independent Regiment and the fighters of the 772nd Regiment had the idea of shooting, they all patiently watched the devils clear the mines, and they were able to use mines to delay the progress of the devils, and the soldiers were still very willing.

Li Yunlong and Head Cheng both looked flat, and they didn't take the matter of demining the devil to heart at all, and they wished that the devil could spend more time on demining. With the time for the devils to clear mines, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment can also rest for a while and regain their energy.

Time is slowly elapsed, the speed of demining by the devils is not fast, and the fighters in charge of planting mines in the 772nd regiment are all good hands, and they know where to bury mines is the most difficult to find. It is also because of this that the speed of the devil's demining will not be too fast.

"Boom"

A devil's demining engineer made a mistake, and the mine exploded, killing the devil's engineer directly, and even the portable demining device he was carrying was blown up, and he could no longer use it. The roaring explosion made the other demining sappers of the devil hurriedly lie on the ground to avoid being injured by the mine explosion.

The devil sapper didn't lie on the ground for too long, and was ordered by the devil captain behind him to continue demining, this time the devil demining sapper was more cautious, and the speed of demining became slower.

"Fuck! When are these devils going to be in line? Li Yunlong glanced up at the sun in mid-air, and said impatiently.

The monk glanced at Li Yunlong and didn't speak, he didn't like this kind of battle very much, it was too unhappy. If the monk had been in command of the battle, he might have led the soldiers to fight the devil a long time ago.

"Commander, these devils have been clearing mines for too long, why don't I take the brothers to shoot a few shots?" The monk spoke.

Li Yunlong glared at the monk fiercely, damn it, where is the war fought like this, and it is not to eliminate these devils. Besides, with the current strength of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment, it is impossible to eliminate this devil infantry brigade. Li Yunlong was a little impatient, but he was not a fool and could control his emotions.

To be able to delay the advance of the devil without fighting, where to find such a good thing? Li Yunlong tapped the monk on the shoulder and signaled him not to worry.

"Monk, don't worry, when the devil comes up, you will be indispensable in the battle." Seeing that the monk was a little unhappy, Li Yunlong had no choice but to say so. This time the monk smiled with satisfaction, he looked at the devil with some expectation, hoping that the devil could come up soon.

Two hours later, the devil discovered the position arranged by the Eighth Route Army, which was too far away to be discovered before, but now the devil is less than two hundred meters away from the position, how could he not find the existence of the position of the Eighth Route Army? As soon as the position of the Eighth Route Army was discovered, the devil decisively mobilized the grenadiers he carried and launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that the devil's artillery didn't act, probably because there were not many shells carried, so they needed to save some use. The devil's grenadier is still very good, but the power is not strong. Under the preparation of the soldiers, the grenadiers of the devil did not bring too many casualties to the soldiers.

Seeing that the grenadiers had successfully suppressed the Eighth Route Army in the position, the captain of the devil brigade decisively ordered a squad of devils to rush towards the position of the Eighth Route Army, and the heavy machine guns that were deployed continued to fire to cover the attacking devil squad. But before the devil's squad could rush out a few steps, a mine explosion sounded, and a devil stepped on the mine.

But even so, this devil's squad is still rushing forward frantically, wanting to rush to the position of the Eighth Route Army.

In the middle of the position, a soldier of the independent regiment pulled the rope, and the mines that had been planted long ago exploded around the devil squad. This time it was a series of mine explosions, which successfully blew up more than a dozen little devils, and by the time these devils fell to the ground, there was no sound.

In the face of so many mines, the attacking devil team could only choose to retreat, the distance they rushed out was not far, and there was a distance of nearly 100 meters from the position of the Eighth Route Army.

"Yaga! Yaga! Seeing that the infantry squad he sent failed to attack, the captain of the devil brigade scolded angrily.

Soon, the captain of the devil brigade thought of a way to crack the mines of the Eighth Route Army, and a dozen grenadiers of the devils fired again, and the grenade fell in front of the position of the Eighth Route Army and exploded. Under the baptism of the devil's shells, the mine array arranged by the soldiers of the 772nd regiment in front of the position was directly broken.

"Little devil, the reaction is still very fast, the monk prepares, and the devil is going to come next." Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and explained to the monk beside him.

The monk nodded vigorously, holding a light machine gun in his hand, in the battle, he still prefers weapons like light machine guns, it is really cool to use this to kill devils! Being able to operate this light machine gun is also due to the fact that the monk's hit rate when shooting with a light machine gun is not low, otherwise no matter how powerful the monk is, Li Yunlong will not let him use the machine gun.

After all, a good machine gunner has no small impact on the battle.

"Rush to the Dirt Eight Road position! For His Majesty the Emperor! For the sake of the Great Japanese Empire! The captain of the devil brigade mobilized the emotions of the devil, and soon an infantry squadron rushed directly towards the position of the Eighth Route Army.

The captain of the devil brigade also knew that too much time had been wasted here, and wanted to directly send an infantry squadron to seize the position of the Eighth Route Army, solve the battle here as soon as possible, and then reinforce the county seat of Liaoxian!
