Chapter 963: Watching the battle turned into participating in the war
"Will those two stone bumps work?" Seeing that the Japanese puppet army was getting closer and closer to the place where the mines were laid, everyone in the regiment directly under them had a question mark in their hearts.
This time, the two militiamen brought a total of two five-pound mines, and the reason why they were called five-pound mines was because each mine contained five pounds of black powder.
They have naturally seen the mine, it is made of stone, and there are vertical and horizontal lines engraved on it, which they don't need to ask to understand, this is the same as the Japanese army's melon grenade also has lines on it, in order to make the mine produce as many fragments as possible when it explodes, all referring to the fragments to kill the enemy.
Huo Xiaoshan also asked them why they didn't use iron, and the militia replied that the devils were afraid of being bombed, and there were usually sappers in front of them who explored the way, and they had mine detectors that could detect "iron watermelons".
As for the Japanese army did not use mine detectors this time, but because these two militiamen were at the request of Huo Xiaoshan to show them the power of mine warfare, so the burial site was not far from the Japanese stronghold, and it was during the day, obviously the Japanese army did not expect that the Chinese would bury the mines at their doorstep, so there was no mine detector.
The Japanese army swept the base area very frequently, and the task of protecting the village with mines was also very heavy, and if it were not for Huo Xiaoshan and their escort, these two militiamen would not have gone all the way here to bury mines.
At this time, seeing that the puppet army in front of him had already passed the place where the mine was laid, and the mine had not yet sounded, the people in the regiment directly under him began to worry about the militia.
Of course, the people in the regiment also admired his courage, and the militia obviously wanted to bomb the Japanese devils instead of the puppet army.
The site of the mine was carefully selected by the two militias.
On one side of the road, there was a waist-thick row of poplar trees, behind which was a slope more than thirty meters long, and under the slope was a deep ditch, and the militia was hiding in the grass behind a large poplar tree on the side of the road.
Huo Xiaoshan saw through the gap in the row of poplars a few tall horses of the Japanese army coming over, and he was thinking that it was almost the same, and sure enough, the mine exploded with a "boom".
In the smoke and dust from the explosion of the mines, Huo Xiaoshan saw that three Japanese horses had been shot and fell, and the Japanese officers above did not know how they were injured.
At this moment, the grass moved, and the militia had turned around and rolled down the slope.
The Japanese soldiers who were bombed naturally became a mess, and the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground one after another.
However, due to the blockage of the poplar tree and the slope behind the poplar tree, the Japanese army apparently did not find the militiaman.
However, the fact that the Japanese army did not find it does not mean that no one has found out, the gunshots have already sounded, and the puppet army that has passed in front has found the militiaman.
Obviously, the Japanese puppet army also had experience in being bombed, and they naturally knew that the mine-pullers of the Eighth Route Army or the militia would not be too far away from the mine's burial point, so the puppet army turned around when they heard the explosion, and they saw the grass that fell down one after another from the gap between the poplar trees, and it was obvious that someone was rolling down.
Someone from the puppet army had already gotten up from the ground and rushed behind the slope of the poplar tree with their guns.
A traitor is eventful! I knew that it would be better to put down a few of those puppet soldiers! When Huo Xiaoshan thought about this, his shoulder-to-shoulder box cannon went off, and the Japanese soldier who rushed to the front fell headlong.
The puppet army behind was shocked, so far both sides have only fired one shot each, and they actually fell one!
"Spread out!" Huo Xiaoshan said, so a dozen of his subordinates dispersed to both sides of the mountain beam under the protection of the ridge line in front of him, and at this time, the militia had already rolled into the deep ditch and ran into the distance.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't have to worry about it, the militia entered the trench, even if the Japanese puppet army rushed into the poplar tree on the side of the road, it would be difficult to find the militia.
Huo Xiaoshan fired another shot at the opposite road, and another Japanese soldier who was lying on the ground and looking for a target with a 38 cover was pestled on the ground and never lifted it again.
But Huo Xiaoshan's second shot undoubtedly revealed his position, and the firepower of the Japanese puppet army had already poured into him.
Huo Xiaoshan did not shoot again, nor did he observe the Japanese puppet army again, but buried his head and let the bullets hit the mountain in front of him.
He heard the shouts of the Japanese soldiers, and he didn't need to look at him to know that the Japanese troops should be charging under the cover of fire.
It was very close to the Japanese stronghold, and the Japanese could easily conclude that there would not be many Eighth Route soldiers who had planted mines on the road.
A few seconds later, the gunshots on both sides of Huo Xiaoshan rang out sparsely, and it was Shen Chong, who had already distanced himself from him, and they were shooting.
Huo Xiaoshan raised his head from behind the mountain ridge and looked forward, and sure enough, he saw that several more Japanese soldiers were falling under Shen Chong's guns, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers didn't expect that the shooting behind the mountain beam would be so accurate, so they fell down again.
Huo Xiaoshan turned his eyes again and saw that the figure of the militia had already appeared on the right side of the mountain beam where he was at this time, so he shouted, "Retreat!" And he was the first to retreat.
The Japanese army is now more than 100 meters away from them, and Huo Xiaoshan is naturally confident that he will calmly escape with his soldiers, so there is no need to engage in cross-cover in this situation.
……
Half an hour later, Huo Xiaoshan, his subordinates, and the two militiamen had successfully escaped the pursuit of the Japanese army and withdrew in the direction of the base area.
"Don't blow up those ghost officers who ride big horses!" The militiaman said remorsefully.
When he said this, Huo Xiaoshan and they naturally understood, after all, the power of the mine was still smaller, and the mine should be able to injure the war horse, of course, it could also injure the legs and feet of the Japanese officers on the war horse, but it was difficult to kill the officer, because there was more body of the war horse between the Japanese army and the shrapnel of the mine.
"You've been a minemaker for a few years, how many devils have you killed?" Huo Xiaoshan asked with a smile.
"I've been in office for two years, and there should have been more than 40 people killed in the bombing, which is too little." The militiaman replied with some embarrassment.
As soon as they heard this militiaman say this, the people of the directly subordinate regiment, including Huo Xiaoshan, looked at each other, and they were already surprised! Did one militia kill more than forty enemies?
"One person has killed more than 40 years of devils, and there are still few?" Xiao Shi answered, "Then if our Chinese army can kill more than forty devils alone, wouldn't the devils have been defeated by us a long time ago?" ”
This is a very simple mathematical problem, and illiterate people are afraid that they can calculate it, if one person blows up forty, won't those four thousand people be able to blow up 400,000 devils?
"It's not all devils, there are two devils, there are too many two devils, more than devils!" The militiaman explained.
As soon as he explained this, the people in the regiment were silent.
Yes, after they arrived at the anti-Japanese base behind the enemy, they found that there were many more puppet troops here than they had encountered in other battlefields, and I am afraid that a considerable part of them were the so-called national troops who surrendered to save the country, and the people directly under the regiment naturally knew that many of the second devils were born in the national army and would not fight with the national army, but they were not polite to the Eighth Route Army.
"The main reason why I bombed less is that our village is small, we have fewer mines, and Beigou Village is a large village, and I heard that Li Xiaoyu has killed more than 200 puppet soldiers there, and he is a well-known explosion king in our area." The militiaman said again.
Are you sure? A militia used a mine to blow up and kill more than 200 puppet soldiers?
The people in the regiment were absolutely shocked this time, they naturally did not suspect that the militia who looked very simple would lie, but one person could kill more than 200 people, which was equivalent to killing a squadron of the Japanese army by one person!
"Really! What I said is true! The militiaman saw that the people in the regiment directly under him showed a surprised expression and said, "This time, when we came out, we took five catties of thunder, and we used twenty catties of thunder to protect the village."
And this time it's just for you to see, so it's just an ordinary long vine thunder, we also have slow detonation thunder, forward and backward thunder, immortal stripping thunder, beard thunder, soil chemical thunder, a lot of them, all of which are made by our Eighth Route Army military factory.
Do you know why we planted mines and didn't let you reach out?
I know at a glance that you comrades have never used landmines, so I don't dare to let you touch this thing.
We all went to the headquarters to participate in training courses when we planted mines, and we could dig pits and bury mines with our eyes closed, and then pull the rope to a hidden position. ”
Can you close your eyes? The people in the direct regiment don't believe it this time, isn't it bragging?
The militiaman obviously saw this, and hurriedly explained: "Really, when we train to bury mines in the training class, we practice burying mines when it is dark, and how deep and thick a pit is dug and buried in the soil is all taught, and it is specially taught by the people at the headquarters!"
Especially the 'iron watermelon' in the early days, the depth is not good, and it must be buried just right, because the teacher who trained us said that the devil's mine detector mine detection has depth. ”
As soon as the militia said this, Shen Chong and the others knew that the militia did not brag, and it was really a delicate job to dare to bury mines, and they had really practiced, so they couldn't help but look at Huo Xiaoshan.
Their faces are a little red, and they dare to plant mines and have so much knowledge, it seems that they really underestimate these militiamen! 7110
