Chapter 1282: One Step at a Time (Second Update!) )

"Da Da Da ......"

People didn't see it, the gun went off.

Two light machine guns suddenly appeared on the earthen walls on the left and right sides of the village entrance, and as soon as they appeared, they fired at the three people.

In the blink of an eye, they were dead.

But the gunfire did not stop because it killed them, and the muzzle of the gun was turned and the fire continued to strafe at them, and the bullets whizzed in and flew in.

"Ah...... Baga ......"

Half-crouched at the front, the two soldiers fell to the ground with a scream, and the others hurriedly lay on the ground.

"Retreat ......" The squadron leader knew that he couldn't stay here, put away his command knife and ordered.

"Kill...... Da Da Da ...... Horn ......"

Before the person moved, there was a shout of killing behind him

Dozens of Eighth Route Army troops rushed over with guns, and the most striking ones were the three machine gunners in front.

The light machine gun was held in his arms and used as a submachine gun, and he strafed while striking forward.

The three riflemen around him were caught off guard and were beaten into a sieve.

The squadron leader was thrown to the ground by his subordinates and escaped, but good luck was here.

Minus the one who had just been killed, there were three other subordinates by his side, all of whom were riflemen.

In the face of the front and rear fire, all of them lay on the ground with their heads in their hands, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.

The Eighth Route Army, which rushed from behind, was still two hundred meters away, and took the opportunity to attack forward, and rushed to the vicinity of everyone in the blink of an eye.

"Da Da Da ......"

The light machine guns fired one after another, and the bullets hit the ground next to the devil, and the dust flew up.

The squadron leader was desperate, as long as dozens of Eighth Route Army rushed forward for another thirty meters, he would definitely die.

On the highway, because there were many people involved in the construction of the road, the Japanese puppet army repaired the road faster than expected.

In less than half an hour, the troops advanced more than a thousand meters.

Hearing this good news, the co-captain suddenly felt better.

"Sir, at the current rate of road construction, we can advance at least three kilometers in an hour, only one and a half kilometers slower than a normal march, and we can attack at least twenty-five kilometers in the whole day." The chief of staff of the wing said happily after receiving the news.

Looking at the road in front of which was gradually restored, the co-captain's face also bloomed: "I can still accept this offensive speed, if it can be a little faster, it will be better." ”

The chief of staff comprehended God and said: "If you transfer two more battalions of the Imperial Alliance Army to the front to build a road, you will definitely be able to add up the marching speed of the army." ”

The Wing Captain nodded in agreement.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Three explosions in a row suddenly reached the ears of the wing commander, and following the sound, three puffs of smoke were already rising on the road.

"It's a mine." The co-captain said with a calm face.

If aircraft artillery is the most commonly used weapon of the Imperial Army, then mines and grenades are the most commonly used weapons of the Eighth Route Army.

With low technology and low production costs, every unit of the Eighth Route Army could produce and equip them on a large scale.

The Imperial Army hated these two pieces of equipment the most.

Although the power is limited, it is superior to the number of mines, especially landmines.

It's as if now, without any preparation of the troops, several mines suddenly exploded.

Before we could figure out what was going on, the troops had already killed and wounded several people.

After five minutes, a herald came running and reported: "Your Excellency, the Imperial Allies encountered a mine while building a road, and four were killed and three were wounded. ”

"Boom, boom, boom......" The captain of the wing had a calm face, and was just about to curse, when the explosion of the mine sounded again.

At two different locations on the highway, several puffs of black smoke rose one after another.

The Imperial Allied Army, which was building the road, was obviously affected, and even the soldiers who were one or two hundred meters away stopped, holding the sapper shovel and not daring to move casually, for fear that they would run into a mine if they went down with a spade, and it would be unlucky.

The Wing Commander knew what the Imperial Concord was worried about.

If we do not solve this problem as soon as possible and forcibly order them to continue mine detection at the risk of death, it will be counterproductive and force them to rebel, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Thinking of this, a trace of cold sweat also broke out on the wing captain's forehead, and he hurriedly ordered.

"All the sappers were sent to the front, first to detect mines, and then to build roads."

"Hey!" A staff officer on standby next to him hurried to give the order.

"Boom...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

Twenty minutes later, another mine was detonated, and the person who detonated it was the engineer unit on which he had high hopes.

"Your Excellency, the mines used by the Eighth Route Army are all stone shells, and the mine detectors have no effect." The engineer squadron leader ran over and lowered his head and reported, not daring to look at the wing leader's red eyes, which could almost breathe fire.

The chief of staff reminded: "Wing Commander, if the mine detectors can't find these mines, we can also detonate them. ”

"And you're already doing it: the 1st Cavalry Squadron was ordered to go to the surrounding villages to arrest civilians."

"As soon as they come back, we'll have the hostages scout the front and detonate all the mines."

"The Imperial Army followed closely behind and repaired the road."

The co-captain's face looked a lot better. He immediately ordered: "Let the Imperial Allied Army stop for the time being." ”

"Wait for the cavalry squadron to get the people back, and let the prisoners step on all the roads before continuing to build the roads."

Twenty minutes later, there was still no shadow of a cavalry squadron in the direction of Taojiazhuang.

The wing captain couldn't wait any longer, and said in a hurry: "What are the cavalry squadrons doing, it's been an hour and a half since they set off, why haven't they come back yet." ”

The chief of staff also couldn't figure out what was going on: "Under normal circumstances, an hour and a half is enough for the cavalry squadron to capture people back." ”

"Send someone to Taojiazhuang to take a look at it immediately."

It took less than half an hour for the reconnaissance unit to run back and forth between the unit and Taojiazhuang, rushed to the side of the wing leader, and reported with a puzzled expression.

"Sir, I haven't found anything in Taojiazhuang."

"Neither the Chinese nor the cavalry squadron that the commander asked us to find, but we found signs of the cavalry squadron's activity in the village."

"The investigation found that the cavalry squadron left Taojiazhuang and went to Huangcun again."

"I sent half of my subordinates to continue to investigate in Huangcun, and personally came back to report the situation to the chief."

The chief of staff reacted quickly, and without waiting for Dazuo to open his mouth, he spread out the map, and introduced after finding Huang Cun on it.

"Wing Captain, Huangcun is the closest village to Taojiazhuang, it must be that the Chinese in Taojiazhuang ran away in advance, and the cavalry squadron ran to Huangcun without authorization in order to complete the task."

Seeing the worried expression on the co-captain's face, he continued: "Huangcun is only five kilometers away from Taojiazhuang, and the cavalry can kill it in more than ten minutes. ”

"The terrain there is flat, which is very suitable for cavalry assault, and there will definitely be no danger for the second squadron to kill it."

"In case of danger, the cavalry squadron can also rush back and call for help from the main forces."
