Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Smell of Gunsmoke
Looking at the Japanese troops marching along the road, they suddenly changed the order of marching, and Hu Biao, who was lying on the side of the road, was also somewhat surprised. Fortunately, Hu Biao led a lot of people, and he didn't worry about the avant-garde force composed of an infantry squad.
called the two veteran team members who were squad leaders to his side, and whispered an explanation. Qin Tianyou and Chen Qiang each took a squad, and soon lurked on the road in front of them. When the explosion sounded, they launched a surprise attack on the Japanese squad.
With such a close surprise attack, if you want to completely annihilate this Japanese squad in a short time, Hu Biao feels that it is not a big problem. As for the little devils who followed up, I believe that after those shells are detonated, they will also be in an instant disarray.
When the little devil reacted, it was estimated that Hu Biao and the others had already run far away to the highway ambush point behind. Even if the little devil doesn't pursue, Hu Biao will send someone to lure the surviving little devil into the next explosive trap.
It took a lot of traps to set up, and it can't be wasted. Before leaving, Hu Biao had already decided to destroy all the railways and roads in this area. Let the little devils know that this road doesn't work!
While Hu Biao and the others were quietly waiting for the little devils on the road to enter the ambush area, in the face of the yellow smoke blown by the wind, Mizuno Hirocho, who was wearing a gas mask, had to order the troops to continue to retreat, away from the area where the yellow smoke spread.
Even the soldiers wearing gas masks did not dare to rush into the yellow smoke area immediately. With such a high concentration, it is possible to get contaminated with mustard gas, even if you wear a gas mask. If you are really poisoned, you will become disabled if you don't die!
Always staring at the vast water fields with floating yellow smoke, and seeing the wind blowing in the early morning, bringing more yellow smoke into the mountains and forests. When the place where the explosion had been heard earlier began to become somewhat clear, he ordered the troops to attack.
The infantry squadron, equipped with gas masks, under the command of the squadron leader, began to advance towards the area where the yellow smoke was billowing. Looking at these yellow smoke floating in the air, even the tightly wrapped little devils felt frightened.
The breathing that was originally uncomfortable became more and more out of breath under the tense pressure. While cursing the attacker for being bold and ferocious, the little devil who was in charge of chasing the attacker still didn't dare to run too fast.
Especially after passing through the blast zone, their speed slows down more and more. After removing the gas masks, all the little devils slapped their clothes, not wanting to be contaminated with the deadly residual smell of mustard gas.
"Team Three, send these gas masks to the rear immediately. The rest of the squad, keep searching and moving forward! ”
Using the only gas mask he had, Mizuno came up with this method of wearing it in rotation to pass through the blast zone. In this case, it is possible to ensure that there are enough troops to pursue the attackers, and to ensure that the fighters who pass through the explosion zone do not inhale the poisonous * gas of special ammunition.
Mizuno Hirocho, who was really not in a hurry, became the second group of people to pass through the Yellow Smoke Zone. After removing the gas mask, Hirocho Mizuno looked at the troops of nearly two squadrons around him and immediately said, "Keep moving!" Those attackers will definitely not be able to run far! ”
The captain of the infantry group who came with him, seeing that Hiroshi Mizuno also wanted to go with the pursuing troops, immediately stopped him and said: "Your Excellency, the situation ahead, the situation ahead is unknown, you better stay here and wait for the follow-up troops to converge before going over!" ”
If there is an ambush ahead, Hirocho Mizuno, who is the captain of the wing, will also die unexpectedly, and the other adjutants who are subordinates will also be held accountable for poor protection by their superiors. It is also very necessary to remind at the right time.
Knowing that the captain was also kind, Mizuno Hirocho finally said, "Okay! First, send a squadron forward to reconnoiter and pursue, so that the troops behind can quickly drive over. In any case, these arrogant attackers cannot be allowed to escape. ”
Mizuno Hiroshi drove up, robbed their ranks, and ambushed an infantry brigade under his command. It stands to reason that the attackers should have left contentedly and at night. Unexpectedly, these attackers even dared to ambush the follow-up reinforcements.
Feeling that the attacker commander was too arrogant and bold, Mizuno Hirocho also guessed whether it would be the supplies on the military column, and the attackers failed to finish moving. In order to move more supplies, they had to stay and block the attack.
Given this situation, Mizuno Hirocho naturally did not want to let those attackers who might be transferring the supplies of the military train escape. After paying such a heavy price and not being able to recover the lost materials and ammunition, he is really in big trouble!
While waiting for the follow-up troops to pass through the explosion zone, Mizuno Hiroshi said again: "According to the time calculation, the first brigade should not be far away, right?" Go, send a telegram to the first brigade, and ask them where they are! ”
"Hey!"
Thinking of another unit marching from the road, Mizuno felt more hopeful that he would block the mysterious forces attacking the military column. On the railway side, he was responsible for the pursuit and encirclement, and on the highway side, the first brigade was responsible for the pursuit and encirclement.
Unless the attackers had the same large number of motor transport forces as the Japanese army, it would be difficult to move the large quantities of supplies, weapons and ammunition carried by the military trains in such a short period of time. Another possibility is that the attackers were numerous.
The problem is that if there really is such a rebel force, the garrisons stationed in various places should have been discovered long ago. With such a large number of rebel forces, it was also very difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese army.
However, Mizuno Hirocho did not expect that the Snow Shame Camp was a newly formed anti-Japanese armed force. Without exception, the members were all prisoners of war who had been held in prisons by the Japanese army. And this situation, the garrison officer of Runzhou City did not report it in time at all.
For Fukuyama Shinbe, the garrison of Runzhou City, the two county towns that had fallen earlier had been recovered by the troops who rushed to reinforcements later. Although he lost two squadrons of garrisons, Fukuyama Mabe didn't want to alarm him too soon.
Fukuyama Shinbe's idea was to order the garrisons in the area to find these fleeing prisoners of war and then concentrate on annihilating them. At that time, when it was learned that Fukuyama Shinbe had extinguished the resistance so quickly, he would also be rewarded for his meritorious deeds.
Even if it is not rewarded, it will not be held accountable for the previous loss of the two county seats. From the standpoint of Fukuyama Shinbe, as a rear garrison, there is nothing wrong with this. It's just that he didn't know that these prisoners of war would cause such a big storm behind enemy lines.
It is almost needless to think that once the Japanese army investigated and found out that the rebel forces that blew up the railway robbery train were the anti-war forces organized by the prisoners of war in Juxian and Lincheng counties. As the commander of the Runzhou garrison, Fukuyama Shinbe will also be severely punished by military law!
Of course, these things have little to do with Hu Biao, who is lying in the ambush area at the moment. Looking at the little devil who was getting closer and closer to the explosion zone, Xu Sandao and the other demoman were also ready to light the fuse.
As the infantry squad on guard was about to walk out of the explosion area, Hu Biao said in a low voice: "Ignite, detonate!" ”
If he had a choice, Hu Biao would prefer to set up such an explosion trap in the future, which could be detonated with an electric detonator. In that case, it may be easier to grasp the time of the explosion and give the little devil the most damage.
The problem is that the explosives, detonators, and fuses that Hu Biao used to set up the explosive traps were all taken from the captured trophies. In the future, if you want to lay a bomb trap that is detonated by wires, you must also have the corresponding materials.
Compared to the fuse buried in the railway, the lead buried on the road side is slightly shorter. With the ignited fuse, the sizzling smoke and flying forward, Hu Biao and the others were also quietly looking forward to the moment when the explosion sounded.
The little devil who was marching, suddenly a soldier stopped and looked at him: "There is the smell of gunsmoke? Do you smell it? ”
"Nope! Could you smell wrong? ”
"Wait! It smells like gunsmoke! It's not good, it's the smell of the fuse! Baga, enemy attack! ”
When a little devil soldier Cao also smelled the smell of the fuse burning, he just realized that the fuse was used to detonate explosives, only to hear a loud noise in his ears, and the whole person fell into a state of complete confusion.
With the sound of explosions one after another, several cars that had already entered the explosion area were quickly blown off by shells buried in the road. The infantrymen, who were guarding the sides of the car, also turned into helpless rag dolls.
Countless severed limbs flew in the explosion, and the screams were endless. At the same time, the Japanese squad, which had just walked out of the explosion area, also saw the ambushers who had lifted their camouflage clothes and wore gas masks on their heads.
The sound of machine guns rang out, and the forward squad, which had just stepped out of the explosion, was quickly enveloped in a dense rain of bullets. Hu Biao, who did not participate in the battle, examined the effect of the explosion through the thick smoke caused by the explosion.
I watched the hillside that was located next to the road, which had been dug up in the middle of the hill, finally collapsed completely. Countless gravel and earthwork buried the little devil located under the hillside, Hu Biao couldn't hide his excitement and clapped his hands and said: "It's beautiful!" ”
The hillside on one side of the road collapsed, and the entire road was buried with rubble and mud. Cars that have not yet entered the blast zone will not be able to move forward. As for the vehicles and soldiers who entered the explosion trap, they will also be completely buried here!
