Chapter 477: Withdrawal and Advance
The demoman in charge of the blasting walked up to the blasting area and sent a safety signal to the main force of the engineer platoon behind him. Shushu.com is the fastest updated
The blaster is a veteran of the engineer platoon veterans, after the blasting to take the risk to check whether there is any remaining ammunition unexploded, to observe whether there is any danger, before waving the red flag, the two blasters are holding their breath, little by little to explore the ruins after the blasting, turning over the piled up of earth and stones, it can be described as very thrilling.
If there is an unexploded bomb and something happens, these two people don't want to live.
"Up!"
He Jinhai stood up, and the soldiers of the engineer platoon behind him followed and ran to the operation section of the highway, and the air was still filled with ashes and gunpowder residue after blasting.
He Jinhai ran to the side of the road and jumped into the ravine along the bottom of the blasted road, and the ravine was full of blasted earth and rocks, as well as the remnants of the cylinder left after the explosion of the blasting canister, and the ravine had been blown up miserably.
By using the second treatment of explosives, the walls of the gully were blasted by the attached explosives, and the width reached nearly three meters, and the bottom of the blasting barrel was almost blown through, and it really became a big ditch.
The more tattered the ravine, the more proud He Jinhai became, thinking that this destruction was quite successful, with this ditch, the Japanese army's trucks, baggage trucks, and horses did not want to pass from here, from the perspective of the engineers, He Jinhai believed that unless the Japanese army used logs to build planks and carry out bridge work on the blasted road section, the trucks would not be able to pass at all, and there were no trees in the surrounding fields.
There was not much tall vegetation either, and it was difficult for the Japanese to find suitable timber, and if the trucks could not walk, the march of the entire team would be slowed down.
Just imagine, the Japanese infantry can walk directly through the ditch, those vehicles, artillery and mules and horses, can not walk the road, mules and horses, and baggage vehicles can only go through the field, potholed field, can they go fast?
This ditch, together with the small ditch in front of it, with the piles of stones and the chaotic pavement, constituted a system of obstacles that could fully hinder the Japanese reinforcements equipped with cars and artillery mules and horses.
The soldiers of the engineer platoon saw the results of the blasting, and no one was unhappy, they were busy for so long, it was not in vain!
The exclamations and applause continued, and some people cleaned up the large stones produced after the second blasting, so that the whole ditch "can be seen from the bottom." ”
The success of the blasting of the highway means that He Jinhai's tactical goal has been achieved, and there is no point in staying next, He Jinhai decided to retreat with the whole platoon, the second batch of Japanese reinforcements is on the way, and the blasting of the engineer platoon has taken a lot of time, maybe the forward of the second batch of reinforcements will soon arrive here, and this section of the road should not stay for a long time.
After the blasting, He Jinhai could be said to be relieved, and issued a retreat order with a smile.
"Pack up and retreat!" He Jinhai stepped out of the ditch from the side, and the sergeant platoon of the engineer platoon followed closely behind He Jinhai, with a wicked smile on his face.
"Platoon commander, platoon commander?"
"Huh?" He Jinhai turned his head.
Pai Fu smiled: "Do you want to let the brothers add some ingredients?" As he spoke, the platoon took out two long-handled grenades and dangled them in front of He Jinhai's eyes.
He Jinhai understood the meaning of platoon, this is to use grenades as tricks, the soldiers of the engineer platoon are all elite infantry, and then the sappers, grenades These infantry equipment are very slippery, and they usually like to tinker with this thing even when they are blasting and earthworking.
Moreover, when there were no blasting canisters in the past, grenades were the best blasting firearms in the hands of infantrymen, and they were also the weapons and equipment with the highest degree of skill, reuse, and redevelopment. He Jinhai thought that the ditch was blown up so messily, and it was really a good place to lay tricks.
"Okay, you tell them as soon as possible, and the rest of the team will be closed!"
In this way, after five minutes, the engineer platoon withdrew from the road, followed the original road, hid in the field, returned the same way, and ran to the position of the teaching brigade.
In the ditch, the soldiers of the engineer platoon used twenty grenades to lay mines in different places in the ditch, some of which were pressed with stones, and the rings were pulled up with threads, and the mines were laid by tripping, and some were buried at the bottom of the ditch, and the rings were fixed with sticks and stones, and twenty grenades were placed in the ditch in pairs and bundles.
Some of the debris and dirt that had been blown away were collected, and after the laying was completed, they were covered near the mines to make a concealment measure.
Twenty long-handled grenades became the "additional dish" for the sappers platoon to the Japanese army.
There are two ditches, one is the ditch with the greatest degree of destruction, and the other is a small ditch, and there are stones in front of the blasted road to block obstacles, plus the grenades in the ditch, it is like a blocking system that combines geographical advantages and explosives.
The engineer platoon, in a cheerful atmosphere, "walked away." ”
……
The engineer platoon was retreating, the second group of reinforcements, and the Japanese Miki unit was advancing. The retreat of the engineer platoon was very timely, and He Jinhai's worries about the second batch of Japanese reinforcements were actually a little excessive, and he was in a hurry to retreat because he was afraid that the second batch of Japanese reinforcements was about to arrive.
In fact, due to the ambush of the two field supplementary regiments of the Fifth Army, the second batch of Japanese reinforcements had already delayed a lot of distance in the ambush section of the march in the previous stage, which was much farther than He Jinhai imagined from the blasting site.
Miki's troops, marching on the road, after the previous stage of ambushes, the Japanese soldiers of Miki's troops no longer have to worry about annoying ambushes, and the march has become more stable, as is the commander Miki Yoshinosuke Osa, who is sitting in the truck.
However, the loud noise just now made him feel uneasy again, and he didn't see any traces, it was a loud noise similar to an artillery bombardment, but it didn't look like an artillery bombardment, Miki was puzzled, what was the situation with this loud noise, could there be a fighting army in front?
Everything is still unknown, if there are troops fighting, it is impossible for the gunfire to have only one explosion, and between the Takeda Brigade and Miki's troops, it seems that there is only a squadron of vehicle infantry sent by Miki, and the vehicle infantry of this squadron, Miki thinks that the explosion is unlikely to be related to them.
After the ambush, Miki Yoshinosuke did not dare to take it lightly, fearing that something unexpected might happen again, so he ordered the infantry to take the lead and sent a search force forward, and ordered everyone to be on higher alert.
The stability of Miki's troops, and less than an hour after the ambush ended, the entire force was again on high alert.
The Japanese infantry, who had been ordered to advance and search, overtook the marching column of the entire army and began to quickly follow up on the unknown front......
