Chapter 912 Anti-tank mines
Although the officers and men of the 110th Brigade are not battle-hardened, they can also be called veterans, and when they found the little devil, they were nervous and excited, and they also began to check the affairs in their hands to ensure that there would be no mistakes when they fought with the little devils later.
Not long after, Yoshika Ryosuke, commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, found that because the fog was too thick, he could not see the situation in front of him clearly.
He did not continue to move forward, but ordered the army to continue to march, with the tank armored unit taking the lead, and the little devil infantry cat waist following behind the butt of the tank armored vehicle.
This tactic has been used many times and has long been fully proficient.
This tactic is most afraid that the enemy will have anti-tank weapons, or heavy artillery.
And Ji Jialiang's auxiliary material is that the equipment of the 110th Brigade is backward and does not have any decent heavy weapons, so he has no worries about this set of tactics.
Because of the need to take into account the infantry behind, the Japanese tank armored vehicles did not move fast.
As the morning sun rises and the morning breeze blows, the mist that fills the air slowly dissipates.
In addition, the army of little devils is getting closer and closer to Songjialing, and slowly, the situation in Songjialing ahead can already be clearly seen by these little devils.
Correspondingly, the officers and soldiers of the 110th Brigade can also clearly observe the actions of the little devil army.
After seeing the steel torrent of the little devil, the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the 110th Brigade were shocked again, because they were a little skeptical that these weapons in their hands could penetrate the tanks and armored vehicles of the little devil.
The answer is no, as veterans, they know very well that only anti-tank guns and heavy artillery can do these things.
But the thought of the presence of heavy artillery and anti-tank guns in the hands of the new regiment made them feel a little less nervous.
Slowly, the vanguard of the little devils had already rushed to the south bank of the small river.
Now that they have already started to act, these little devils will not hesitate in the slightest, let alone retreat.
There was hardly the slightest stop, and after coming to the river beach, the steel torrent of the little devil rushed directly towards the center of the river.
The river is shallow, knee-deep at its deepest. Therefore, the little devil's torrent of steel easily waded across the river and continued to move forward.
Seeing the vanguard successfully crossing the river, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Yoshika Ryosuke's mouth.
But the next moment he arrived a little surprised, because after crossing the river, they came into the range of enemy fire, but why didn't the enemy move at all, could it be that they learned that it was not the opponent who had withdrawn?
Ji Jia Ryosuke couldn't figure it out, and because of the distance and the morning fog, he couldn't fully see the situation above Song Jialing, but he simply didn't think about it anymore and stared at the front fixedly.
Indeed, when the army of little devils arrived on the south bank of the small river, they had actually entered the range of fire of the 110th Brigade.
The reason why they have not yet opened fire is not that they do not want to, but that they have not yet received orders from their superior commanders.
Ryosuke Yoshika was puzzled, but they were even more confused and nervous.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud bang came from under the left track of a little devil tank that was charging at the front, and the tank, after shaking a few times, also stopped moving.
"Yaga! There are mines here! ”
A little devil officer and soldier opened the top of the tank and got out of half of his body, and then scolded angrily.
However, this was only the beginning, and several loud noises followed, followed by several tanks that were blown off their tracks and lost momentum.
One tank was even more tragic, and the tracks on the left and right sides were blown off at the same time.
Because the tanks in the front row were stopped by the bombing and blocked the way, the tanks in the back could only stop advancing.
Of course, even if the road ahead is not blocked, they will not continue to advance for fear of repeating the mistakes of their companions.
"Yaga!"
The sudden loud bang seemed to explode in Ryosuke Kichiga's head, and after a moment of stunned thought, it was replaced by endless anger.
Chief of Staff Nakagawa Hiroshi, who was watching the battle not far away, also saw this scene, and he quickly ran to the body of the division commander Yoshika Ryosuke and asked, "Your Excellency General, what should we do now?" ”
"Nonaka-kun!"
"Will ...... Your Excellency General, Nonaka-kun ...... When he was in Linhuai Pass, the jade was already broken. ”
Hearing the division commander Yoshikasuke calling for the commander of the 9th Engineer Wing, Toshisada Nonaka, Nakagawa Hiroshi couldn't help but remind him on the side.
"Yaga!"
After a roar, Ryosuke Yoshika continued to say angrily: "Noaka Risada Jade is broken, then the Ninth Engineer Wing is still there, right?" Give me the order to order the 9th Engineer Regiment to rush to the forward position to clear mines! ”
"Hay!"
The order was quickly conveyed by Chief of Staff Nakagawa Hiroshi to the ears of the little devils of the Ninth Wing of the Engineers, and after receiving the order, they all showed their faces as if they were dead.
Because going to demine like this is almost no different from sending them to death, of course, it is not the mines buried in the ground that threaten them, but the enemy on the Songjialing.
The infantry in front was fine, because there were tanks and armored vehicles as cover, at least they would not be hunted by the enemy.
But when they went to clear the mines, they did not have any cover at all, and they were almost completely exposed to the enemy's guns, and it would be hell if they did not take the opportunity to release their guns.
The only hope for these little devil sappers at this moment is not to be selected by the commander, because although the 9th Engineer Wing suffered heavy casualties at Linhuai Pass, it still retains at least some of its strength.
However, the work of demining requires more than a dozen people, and as few people as few as possible, and it is not necessary to do all of them.
Soon, twenty little devil sappers were selected by the chief of staff, Nakagawa Hiroshi, and the selected ones turned pale one by one, while those who were not selected couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts.
Soldiers are called obedience to orders, not to mention that they are still the best Imperial Japanese Army in the world.
It was also an honor for them to be chosen, and they may have had some fears before, but after a moment of preparation, they were relieved.
Without any hesitation, these little devil sappers picked up the tools for demining and headed straight ahead.
"Brother Yang, this is a ...... on the river beach Mine? ”
On the commanding heights of Songjialing, Hou Wanshan, the commander of the 110th Brigade, looked at Yang Yun on the side with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Hmm!"
Yang Yun nodded.
"When was this mine planted, how do I not know?"
"Just yesterday, when I was digging trenches and building fortifications, I ordered my brothers to be buried."
Yang Yun replied lightly, with an ancient and waveless expression.
"The little devil doesn't dare to move forward now, what are we going to do?"
"Don't worry, soon the little devil will have the next move!"
The corners of Yang Yun's mouth rose, with an expression that everything was under control.
Hou Wanshan was puzzled, but he didn't continue to ask, but picked up the telescope in his hand and began to watch.
Because the morning fog has gradually dissipated, the visibility is much better at this moment than before......
