Chapter 174: The Last Resort
Seeing that his subordinates didn't dare to say anything, the leader of the engineer squad, Matsumoto Taka, had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Your Excellency Wing Commander......"
"Huh? How? Don't you think Matsumoto-kun is wrong? Or do you dare to say that there are no mines on this road? ”
Before Matsumoto Taka finished speaking, the co-captain Kitajima Male Lion on the side interrupted him coldly.
"Nima!"
Matsumoto Taka really wants to scold his mother in his heart, although that's what he thinks in his heart, but where does he dare to say that?
He hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained, "Report; Your Excellency, that's not what I meant? ”
"Yaga! Yours doesn't mean that, what does that mean? ”
"My ...... My ......"
"No matter what method you use, even if you use your own body to wade through mines, then you have to clear the mines on this road for me, otherwise yours will kill yourself by disembowelment to thank the emperor!"
"Hay!"
The government and the university crush people to death, no matter which country is the same, and small Japan is even more so.
Even if he knew that the co-captain Kitajima Male Lions were embarrassing himself, Matsumoto Taka didn't dare to say a word.
So, after replying, he turned and walked towards the man who was still lying on the ground like a dead dog.
Don't get me wrong, Matsumoto Taka didn't go to help him up, but to untie the demining device on his body.
"You're still stunned here, what are you doing?"
Matsumoto Takashi untied the demining weapon that his subordinates were carrying on his body, put it on his back, and took several steps forward, and found that the other four subordinates did not follow, so he couldn't help but turn around and reprimand angrily.
"Hay!"
……
Yang Yun saw that there were five more little devils who still didn't give up, and walked towards the minefield with a demining device on his back, and said in his heart that these little devils were really persevering, but they didn't care, but continued to lie quietly in place.
It's just that on this ground, eh, and around Yang Yun's physical fitness, he also feels a little cold.
However, compared to the Gobi Desert and the quagmire swamp that Yang Yun had carried out in the past, although it was not a fairyland on earth, it was much better.
"Boom!"
A loud bang brought back Yang Yun's thoughts, and at the same time made him stunned, because in his opinion, with the movement of the little devil, he should not step on the landmine.
In fact, how did Yang Yun know that after Matsumoto Eagle probed nearly 100 meters in succession, he still did not find a single mine, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient when he recalled the death order given to him by the wing captain Kitajima Lion.
However, this should also be his bad luck, stepping on a heavy foot, but it was just right, so that he stepped on an anti-infantry mine.
Then, it was blown up into the sky with a "boom", and when it fell back to the ground, those who were already dead could no longer die.
And one of his feet flew away from his body, uh, no, it should be said to be a corpse.
The sudden change stunned the rest of the four little devil sappers.
Although the mine did not hurt them, it scared them a lot, making their already light steps much lighter again.
However, as long as they do not die, then demining must continue.
The co-captain of the rear, the North Island Lion, had been staring closely at the people who were clearing mines, and the sudden loud noise also shocked him.
But at the same time, it also made him angry for a while, but in addition to anger, he was also afraid.
Because he found that the mines laid here by the soldiers of China were so strange that he was helpless.
He knew that even if his men in those four fields probed a few times, they would not be able to find out the mines in them.
However, he did not order them to stop, this should be regarded as a punishment for their incompetence, who made them incompetent?
In fact, the North Island Lion also knows that this black pot is for them to carry, and it is really too wrong for them, but as the saying goes, someone has to carry this pot, and if they don't carry it, do they have to carry it themselves?
At first, the North Island Lion also wondered if the demining device was broken.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind, and he quickly rejected it.
Because one demining device is broken, it may be reasonable, but five demining devices are broken at the same time, which is a bit unsatisfactory to say.
The pair of thick eyebrows of the North Island male lion were furrowed tightly, and they were almost screwed together.
Because he was thinking about how to solve the current problem, but no matter how much he thought about it, he finally found that he couldn't do anything at all.
It's just because he has never encountered such a situation before.
Detour?
If he takes a detour, it means that he is cowardly, not to mention that this will damage the glory of the imperial soldiers and make him lose face.
This is not the most critical thing, the most critical thing is that the brigade commander Kawaki Ichiro told him to catch up with the retreating enemy troops in front.
But the question is, if we take a detour now, at least we have to walk more than 100 miles, where will we be able to catch up with the enemy?
And he lost two tanks here, and he really didn't know how to explain to the brigade commander Ichiro Kawaki.
So, he was stumped by the confusion.
"Kitajima-kun, in my opinion, let's take a detour."
Just when the North Island lion was in confusion and couldn't extricate himself, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
It was none other than Shinzo Shirai, chief of staff of the 29th Brigade.
If someone else said this, the North Island Lion might be furious, but from Shinoi Shinzo's mouth, the effect was very different.
You must know that although Shinoi Shinzo is not as powerful as the North Island Lions, and his military rank is the same as him, he is higher than him in terms of rank.
Therefore, in the face of his speech, the North Island Lion could only greet him with a smile: "However, the task assigned to me by His Excellency the Brigade Commander is to quickly pursue the enemy, and if I make a detour, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with them." ”
"Then Kitajima-kun, do you have any way to cross this road full of mines?"
"This ...... It's not impossible, it's just a waste of materials. ”
The North Island Lion paused and spoke slowly.
"Oh? Then tell me what you have to say. ”
Chief of Staff Shirai Shinzo looked at the North Island Lion with a good face, and asked in a mocking tone.
Because he, as the chief of staff of the entire brigade, is powerless on this issue.
Therefore, he wanted to see what kind of solution he could come up with.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, in fact, the solution is very simple, that is, to use artillery demining and give it a carpet bombardment, and all the mines on this road will be detonated?
And being detonated is equivalent to being excluded in disguise, right? ”
"Kitajima-kun, do you know what the price to pay for such a demining is? I'm afraid that more than half of the shells we brought here will be consumed! ”
Shinoi Shinzo thought that the North Island Lion had come up with a good idea, and his feelings were such a broken idea, so he suddenly asked in an unkind tone.
