The hesitant expression on the chief of staff's face was slowly replaced by firmness, and he was moved by the words of his regimental commander.

It is too dangerous to walk on the mountain road, and the remaining mules and horses will definitely not be able to keep it.

Once there are no mules and horses, the food sent by the troops to Hunyuan City will definitely drop sharply, and it will not be able to last even two days.

It's too slow to take other official roads, and when the food is sent to Hunyuan City, the troops have collapsed and there is no point.

Only by forcing their way through here will the troops be able to complete their tasks on time.

Commanded: "Then we'll take a gamble." ”

"Follow me to the front, I will personally negotiate with the Eighth Route Army and force my way through here."

"If the minefield is also fake, then we are betting right."

"If the minefield is real, we'll think of something else."

At the checkpoint of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army of a company was in full array, and heavy machine guns were also set up on the position, pointing directly at the Jin Sui Army on the highway.

On the high ground behind the level, the artillery fire has stopped, and only a few scattered gunshots remain.

Troops are constantly rushing in from the high ground to join the camp of the defenders of the checkpoint.

The chief of staff carried the rank of colonel on his shoulders and attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.

A cadre of the Eighth Route Army walked out of the checkpoint, carrying a box cannon at his waist, and strode over: "Hello sir, we are the officers and soldiers of the first company of the Eighth Route Army Garrison Regiment, and we are ordered to defend here to prevent anyone from entering the minefield arranged by the Japanese puppet spies last night and being injured, please instruct the commander!" ”

After finishing speaking, the company commander also saluted the chief of staff, which made the chief of staff stunned for a moment, and he couldn't find anything wrong with the other party.

The garrison regiment also respected itself as a commander, indicating that even if they were dissatisfied with the Jin Sui army's seizure of their base area, they held it back in their hearts, and they did not intend to show it.

In this case, it will be much easier to do, the chief of staff looked at the other party with a serious order.

"We are ordered by the war zone to go to Hunyuan County, we must pass through here immediately, please let your army go."

"But there is a minefield ahead, and there are mines everywhere, so we have cleared less than ten meters." The company commander reminded.

The chief of staff replied: "If there is a minefield, you have to pass it, and it is the duty of the soldiers to obey orders, even if we go to the peak and let us die, the brothers will not frown, I order you to open the checkpoint and let us pass." ”

The company commander did not refuse: "Sir, I can carry out the order to open the checkpoint, but if something happens to your army in the minefield, it has nothing to do with us, after all, I have already reminded you several times." ”

After finishing speaking, the company commander actually took out a letter of commitment and handed it over: "This is a letter of commitment explaining the situation, we will let you go after you sign it." ”

"It clearly states that there is a minefield arranged by Japanese puppet agents in front, and the commander does not listen to our Eighth Route Army's obstruction, and insists on passing through the minefield. If there is an accident during the march, it has nothing to do with the Eighth Route Army. ”

Even the letter of commitment was prepared in advance, and a fool could guess that this was a bureau set up by the Eighth Route Army for himself.

The chief of staff didn't want to sign it, but he really forced them to let them go, and if he didn't sign it, it would be on the side of the Eighth Route Army, and if something really happened, he couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

After signing and pressing the handprint, the Eighth Route Army in the checkpoint really did not lose its promise.

It's very refreshing to open the level.

In order to avoid accidents, the garrison at the checkpoint also retreated fifty meters to each side of the road to remain vigilant.

The brisk performance of the Eighth Route Army once again startled the chief of staff.

They will definitely not return in vain with such a big game, and now they are so happy to let go, there is only one possibility.

There must be something ahead of them that they rely on.

And after passing the level, there is only a minefield in front of you that cannot see the end, which proves that this minefield must be real.

Force yourself back through the real minefield and take the more dangerous mountain road instead.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his analysis was true, but he was not reconciled if he did not see the mine explode.

In the end, I decided to continue gambling, and in case I really hit a minefield, it was not too late to retreat.

"Everybody get through the level quickly and move on." The division commander began to give orders.

"Shizuo urgently needs the food we carry, and it must be sent to Hunyuan County as soon as possible!"

"Boom ......"

Less than twenty meters into the minefield, the forward troops stepped on a mine, billowing black smoke rose from the ground, and at least three soldiers lay on the ground wailing.

"Are there really landmines?" The chief of staff was most worried about what happened, and subconsciously shouted.

The commander of the first company of the garrison regiment, who had just persuaded them to make a detour, came over and reported: "Sir, the luck of your forward troops is not bad. ”

"Listening to the sound, what exploded just now should be a stone-shelled mine, filled with black powder, which was produced by the guerrillas in the base area themselves, the explosion was very loud, there was a lot of black smoke, but the power was very small."

As soon as he finished speaking, the forward company commander ran over panting: "Chief of Staff, the mine that the brothers stepped on was made of stone, and the mine detector we were equipped with did not respond at all. ”

"Although it is not as powerful as an iron mine, it still injured three of our brothers."

"All of them were wounded in the legs and feet, and they had to be carried on stretchers to continue the march."

"Then carry it!" The chief of staff was irritable and ordered.

He is very aggrieved now, and he has nowhere to vent the anger in his stomach.

There are landmines exploding, which means that the minefield is real.

What just exploded was a stone shell mine, and the next time the forward company was not so lucky.

If you come across an iron-shelled mine, or a chain mine, the casualties of the troops will be large, and if you don't do it, you will die.

At this time, the commander of the first company of the garrison regiment continued to speak: "Sir, the density of mines in front is higher, and the casualties will definitely increase if the troops continue to advance. I suggest that your army immediately retreat and make a U-turn and take a path around here. ”

"Or it's not too late for us to finish clearing the roads of landmines."

"Those spies are so cunning, no one expected that they would sneak up on the ammunition depot and steal so many mines from us."

"If you want to blame the sir, blame those Japanese puppet army spies."

"But they have paid for their stupidity, I just received the news that more than 30 spies and Japanese puppet army stragglers hiding on the high ground have all been killed, no one has escaped the net, and most of the bullets we lost have also been found."

The chief of staff wanted to scold: "What bullshit Japanese puppet army spies, they are all fake, mine formations, battles, all of this is made by your Eighth Route Army yourself, and you must be responsible for the soldiers who have just been injured in the Jin Sui Army." ”

But the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back.

There is no evidence to say that these words are framed, and he has just signed a letter of commitment, even if the lawsuit reaches the war zone, even Chongqing, he is not an opponent.

A sentence instantly popped up in my mind: Dumb people eat coptis, and they can't say anything about their suffering.

I knew in my heart that all this was the bureau of the Eighth Route Army, but there was nothing I could do.

Because this game is so seamless, there are no loopholes for me to drill.
