If more than 100 mines are buried on a narrow road, and there happens to be a procession of devils passing by, the lethality is still considerable, however, if these more than 100 mines are distributed over a vast area of nearly four square kilometers, the density will be very pitiful, and there is only one mine in 40,000 square meters on average!

To put it more bluntly, within a range of 200 meters * 200 meters, there is only one mine, what effect can it have?

Of course, when the independent regiment laid mines, it was not evenly distributed in an area of nearly four square kilometers, and the distribution of the more than 100 mines and the corresponding sawdust powder piles was still emphasized.

This is, of course, to allow the coalfield to burn up from the outside of the mouth and then spread inside.

This time, when the little devil found out that the situation was wrong and tried to escape, there was already no way to escape!

Therefore, the explosion of more than 100 mines did not cause substantial damage to the Kawaguchi detachment, at best, it caused some confusion to the Kawaguchi detachment, especially the artillery wing that fell behind and had not had time to enter the Wild Horse Beach was the most affected, and the more than 100 horses responsible for towing the artillery were greatly frightened, and immediately began to scream and jump, and even overturned two guns, one of which also crushed a devil to death.

Heiji Kawaguchi was also taken aback by the sudden explosion.

When I looked back in a hurry, I saw that there were explosions in many places on Mustang Beach, and after each explosion point exploded, all of them caused fires, and the raging flames almost reflected most of the night sky, Kawaguchi Heiji roughly estimated that there were almost more than a hundred fires, but the actual damage seemed to be limited, that is, it looked scary.

"Yaga, mines?" Heiji Kawaguchi gritted his teeth and said, "Cunning Shina man! ”

"The Thunder Plus chain of mines can also be ignited and burned, and it seems that most of them are mines transformed from sulfur bombs!" Yongjin Da also said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Commander, it seems that there is a demolition expert in the Chinese army, and such a complex mine array can actually be designed, fortunately, the mine array of the Chinese army did not blow up the imperial army." ”

It's no wonder that Yongjinda also thinks about it, because this is exactly Xu Rui's careful design.

The 1st Infantry Brigade, the 3rd Brigade and the 2nd Squadron of the Kawaguchi Detachment had already passed there, and none of them stepped on the mines, but when the artillery wing passed through the Mustang Pass, they stepped on the mines, which inevitably gave people the impression that the independent regiment was planting pressure mines, and the infantry did not trigger the mines because of the light people, and the artillery trucks triggered the mines at once because of their heavy weight, and then, a mine exploded, detonating a chain of explosions with more mines around it.

Because the mine explosion ignited the sawdust mixed with gasoline and began to burn, Yongjinda took it for granted that the mines of the Independent Regiment were modified from sulfur bombs.

Heiji Kawaguchi was originally still a little confused, but he was relieved to let Nagajin Tatsu say the same.

"Yaga." Kawaguchi Heiji said in a cruel voice, "If Xu Rui thinks that he can stop the imperial army with this little trick, it is too naïve, and he orders that the artillery wing should not be affected, immediately enter the Mustang Beach, and then deploy as fast as possible to launch a large-scale artillery bombardment of the Dameishan Independent Regiment opposite the burning belt." ”

After a pause, Kawaguchi Heiji said again: "This time, I also want to let the Dameishan Independent Regiment taste the taste of being bombed indiscriminately by the imperial artillery, and I want to return the humiliation inflicted on the imperial army by the Chinese army in the battle of Xiaolizhuang, and return it to the Chinese army, which is called returning the way of others, hum!" ”

"Hello." Yongjin Da also nodded slightly, and immediately ordered the signal corps to go and convey the order to the artillery wing.

Kawaguchi Heiji said again: "Yongjin-san, by the way, I will give another order to the 1st Infantry Brigade, let them not waste time building fortifications, let them hurry up and eat, and recuperate their physical strength, if it is not surprising, this burning belt that blocks Mustang Beach will last for half an hour at most, and after half an hour, the 1st Infantry Brigade can cross the burning belt and launch a general attack on the remnants of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, however, it is conceivable that the Dameishan Independent Regiment is still trapped in the beast, and its explosive power should not be underestimated, So the 1st Infantry Brigade had to be physically strong. ”

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander." Yongjin Da also paused again.

Until this time, Kawaguchi Heiji and Nagajin Tatsuya did not realize that the Kawaguchi detachment was actually in danger, and in ten minutes at most, the one hundred and ten burning points outside the Mustang Beach would spread, and when these more than 100 burning points converged into a line and completely sealed the U-shaped exit of the entire river beach, the Kawaguchi detachment would be unable to escape.

Heiji Kawaguchi and Tatsuya Eijin hadn't realized the danger until this time, not that these two old devils must be stupid, let alone that the two of them were too careless, it was really because Xu Rui's thinking was too wild, and the attack methods he came up with were beyond the imagination of the two old devils.

In short, Kawaguchi Heiji never believed that the Dameishan Independent Regiment had the ability to eat his Kawaguchi detachment in one bite, and Kawaguchi Heiji preferred to believe that the attacks encountered by the Japanese army along the way were all designed by Xu Rui in advance to deal with the Japanese troops who took the bait, but now it is the entire Kawaguchi detachment that has taken the bait, but it has exceeded the limit of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, and naturally, the Dameishan Independent Regiment is self-defeating and has made the situation in the current endgame.

Heiji Kawaguchi slammed his saber on the ground and said coldly: "Hmph, I want to see what kind of tricks Xu Rui can use to solve the current situation." ”

Yongjin Da also said: "In addition to continuing to delay time, Xu Rui is afraid that there is nothing to be done." ”

"Procrastinating?" Heiji Kawaguchi said coldly, "I'll see how long he can drag on." ”

At that moment, the two old devils didn't say anything more, and waited for the artillery wing to come up.

Five minutes later, the 34 75mm caliber field howitzers of the artillery wing had already been pulled to the Mustang Beach, but the remaining two field howitzers were left behind because the gun truck overturned on its side, and it took some time for the devil artillery to turn the gun truck over again, so it would take at least five minutes to arrive.

However, Heiji Kawaguchi didn't care about this, 34 guns didn't seem to be much different from 36, and the cluster shelling of 34 field howitzers was enough to blast the independent regiment that was cowering on the Mustang beachhead to slag.

The artillery wing quickly deployed after entering Mustang Beach and began to build artillery positions on the spot.

Heiji Kawaguchi looked at the artillery mount for a while, and unintentionally turned his head but was suddenly stunned, because he saw a faint fire out of the corner of his eye!

When I looked back, the fire was gone.

Damn it! Heiji Kawaguchi muttered, rubbed his eyes, and when he looked closely, the looming flame reappeared, at the point where the mine had exploded, and the explosion of the mine caused a fire, and the fire continued to burn for about five or six minutes before finally extinguishing.

To figure it out, Heiji Kawaguchi closed his eyes and then opened them again.

When I opened my eyes again, I was surprised to find that the flame was gone.

Now Kawaguchi Heiji is also a little hairy in his heart, it can't be that he has encountered a ghost fire, right?

At that moment, Heiji Kawaguchi asked Tatsuya Eijin, "Eijin-san, have you seen a fire?" ”

"A fire?" Yongjin Da also turned around and said blankly, "Your Excellency Commander, it's not a group, it's a line." “

"Baga, I'm not talking about the incendiary strip in front, I'm talking about the location where a mine exploded just now at five o'clock behind you." Heiji Kawaguchi said, pointing to the previous mine explosion point, and said, "There, right there, at five o'clock." ”

Tatsuya Nagajin looked in the direction of Heiji Kawaguchi's finger, and then he really saw a fire.

"Your Excellency, Commander, there really is a fire." Yongjin Tatsuya said, "It's strange, hasn't the fire caused by the mine just now been extinguished?" Why is it burning again? ”

As he spoke, the originally faint flame had become very clear, and it had risen to a high level.

"Yongjin-san, go over and see what's going on?" Before Heiji Kawaguchi finished speaking, he had already walked over to that side first, and for some reason, a very strong uneasiness was rising in his heart, so he had to find out what was going on with this flame that appeared for no reason as soon as possible.

A moment later, Heiji Kawaguchi and Tatsu Nagajin also walked near the flame.

In fact, there are still at least ten meters away from the flame, but it is impossible to go any further, because the scorching heat wave is spreading out from the center of the flame, and if you go any further, I am afraid that even the hair and eyebrows will be scorched, but even ten meters away, it is enough for Kawaguchi Heiji to see the huge radius of the flame.

The burning radius of this flame is more than ten meters, just now it was only because of the obstruction of the rocky beach, so from the direction they stopped just now, the flame will appear looming, in fact, this fire is already very vigorous, Kawaguchi Heiji and Yongjin Tatsu also stood more than ten meters away and looked, only to see that the center of the flame was already red, almost able to light up the eyes of blind people!

"Yaga, what's going on?" Kawaguchi Heiji couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it clearly.

Yongjin Tatsuya and the dozen or so combat staff officers and guards who followed behind him also looked at each other.

Yongjin Da also said dreamily: "What a hell, even if the mines of the Chinese army are modified from sulfur bombs, but after such a long time, the fuel should have run out, why is it still burning, and the ground is also nodding?" When did the Brimstone Bombs of the Empire of Japan become so powerful that they could even burn on the ground? ”

"Ground?" Heiji Kawaguchi suddenly thought of something, and shouted wildly, "Earth fire! ”
