Chapter 161: A Difficult Sweep

100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters, there are hidden places to hide in this range.

But judging from the sound of the gunshot, it seems that the gunman is hiding farther away, which is surprising, and the devil does not dare to act rashly.

Thinking of the sharpshooters of the China Sharpshooter that the commander had warned before this sweep, the Devil Scout Cavalry did not dare to search for a suspicious place, but instead stuck his body closer to the horse's back and retreated in the direction of the brigade.

An unhurried gunshot rang out, and another devil fell off his horse.

The battle was short, the gains were secondary, and provoking the devil was Shen Chen's main purpose.

The enemy brigade rushed up, losing several scouts, the attacker was still nowhere to be found, and a wounded horse was still struggling and neighing on the ground.

"Look, Taijun." A traitor came over and said to the devil officer with a gloomy face: "This is the ditch they dug, how insidious it is, the cars of the imperial army can't pass through at all." ”

Obviously, there are not only one or two spies who spy on the local situation, and there will always be fish that slip through the net. The knowledge of the base area makes the sweeping enemy not blind to the eyes.

The devil officer didn't speak, and looked at the ditch that appeared in front of him with a cold face that stretched into the distance.

Even though I had received some information in advance, I still had a headache when I saw it with my own eyes. Headache to headache, but still to move on, orders must be carried out more resolutely.

"Get out of the way!" The devil officer waved his hand and gave the order.

The Imperial Association army was in front and the devils were behind, walking along the edge of the ditch in two columns, pulling the heavy pack and advancing in the ditch.

The devil officer looked forward with a telescope in his hand, disgusted by the cunning of the Shina people, but did not think that such a small trick would have a decisive effect on the established military action.

And that female gunner, who has killed too many Imperial warriors. The cold gun attack just now was undoubtedly a good thing she did.

"Boom!" A puff of black smoke rose from the edge of the ditch, and then there was an extended explosion, and a series of mines exploded in the marching columns of the Imperial Army, and the wounded soldiers and corpses fell down the ditch in the smoke.

And the most vicious was the last thunder, several grenades flew into the air, one on the left and one on the right, and metal fragments flew in the air, sweeping away the unprepared enemy.

The devil officer lay on the ground in embarrassment, dirt and gravel falling on his head, and the front was gray and blurred.

Earth-made landmines have limited lethality, and although they can also bleed the hanging flowers of dog days, they have a higher rate of injury; However, the volley explosion of the grenade caused heavy casualties.

When the explosion ended, the ears of the enemy were filled with constant screams and wails.

"Eight! Your information—" The devil officer stood up, wiped the dust from his face, and angrily tried to settle accounts with the traitor agent.

But the traitor had fallen to the ground, and there was no way for him to vent his anger. A large piece of shrapnel hit him in the head, and red blood and white brains were mixed and flowing.

"Smack!" A gunshot rang out, and a bloody flower burst out of the devil officer's chest, and he looked at the field of vision that was still full of dust and dust in front of him, and he stared at the unwilling eyes and threw himself to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

A shot of nearly 800 meters, whether it is a devil or an imperial army, can not see clearly at all, nor can it be found where to shoot, it is completely impossible to prevent.

Although Shen Chen killed many devils and traitors, it also strengthened the enemy's vigilance. But the enemy would never have dreamed that his sniper distance had reached such an alarming level.

What's more, in the mountainous and semi-mountainous areas, plus the ditches, the enemy will not be able to extend the warning range to a distance of three or four hundred meters in any way. Not to mention five or six hundred meters, or even seven or eight hundred meters.

Another reason for Shen Chen's boldness was the mines planted, the enemy wanted to quickly approach or chase after them, which was equivalent to wading through the mines, and the delay and delay time was enough for him to escape.

The attack of mines, as well as the sniping of the devil officers, brought the enemy's brigade to a moment of confusion and stagnancy.

Soon, however, an officer came in his place. The Japanese officer had a grim face and waved his hand at the back of the group, and the demining sappers immediately rushed to the front, holding minesweepers in their hands to detect mines back and forth.

As the circles scattered out of the white ash kept moving forward, the devil officer showed a smile of relief and lightness.

That's right, this is the devil's weapon that he believes can crack the mines, and it is also the main reliance on this sweep.

Relatively speaking, no matter how powerful Shen Chen is, he is also a person. The widespread use of landmines has made the enemy even more headaches.

The devil secretly summoned sappers and valuable mine detectors, thinking that if they were used suddenly, they would surely catch their opponents off guard and turn the dangerous road into a smooth road.

But the devil was obviously going to be disappointed, and after advancing a few dozen meters, the sapper's feet were empty, followed by a "boom" explosion.

The black smoke rose into the air, and the Imperial Cooperative Army, which was originally aiming at the waist behind them, fell to the ground again.

In the middle of the night, the smoke cleared, and there were wounded and wailing Japanese sappers lying on the ground, and the precious mine detectors had been blown up.

The mines planted by the guerrillas were made of iron, and more often of ceramic and stone, which made them easier and cheaper.

Mine detectors can detect metal, but they are useless against terracotta and stone mines. The devil sappers believe too much in the role of mine detectors, but ignore other types of home-made mines.

"Yaga!" The devil officer scolded in a low voice and waved his hand again to send the sappers.

He thought it was the negligence of the sappers, and did not realize that the mine detector had no effect on stone mines and potters at all.

"Smack!" The gunshots rang out, and the devil sappers fell to the ground, but fortunately the mine detector was not damaged.

The devil officer was so angry that he didn't dare to go too far. The power of the cold gun sniper, even he felt the horror.

"Boom!" With a bang, another sapper and his mine detector turned into parts. In the midst of the flying flesh, it also woke up the Japanese officers.

He didn't know what kind of material the mine was being used by his opponent that could render the mine detector ineffective. You know, this is valuable equipment that was brought in with great difficulty. All of a sudden, he was a little at a loss.

In fact, for this kind of trigger mine, because it is not controlled, the guerrillas do not bury much, but only play a role of intimidation.

Landmines are used to intimidate, harass and deter, but they are not practical enough to make it difficult for the enemy to move.

That is, not to lay enough mines to completely block the roads so that the enemy cannot carry out the sweep, or give up halfway, as some think.

Laying mines is not so simple, not blind, but targeted.

When the enemy is in action, it is necessary to get ahead of the enemy, to predict the path that the enemy may take, and where he may pass, so as to decide where to plant mines and what type of mines to plant.

Because of the time and the quality, there will not be many mines buried in front of the enemy.

In addition, it is necessary to beware of the tricks used by the enemy, such as using civilians to wade mines, using minesweepers to clear mines, etc., and make flexible responses.

After the mines were established, the enemy became cautious and frightened, especially the failure of the valuable mine detector, which cast an ominous haze on the enemy's psyche.

Not only do you have to be careful with your feet, but the ultra-long-range sniping is also terrifying. When he couldn't find the devil officers, Shen Chen began to snipe ordinary devil soldiers and officers in the Imperial Cooperative Army.

In fact, the measure of a sniper's success is not how many people he shoots, but how much impact his sniper can have on the enemy.

For example, Matthias Heitenauer, the first German sniper in World War II, recorded 345 sniper attempts.

But in this sniper record, the vast majority were the commanders of enemy troops. If he also does not refuse to come like other snipers, and sees one to kill the other, his record will be even more amazing.

Of course, Shen Chen also wanted to kill the officer, but when he didn't have a chance, any enemy was also his target. If you kill one more, you will reduce the enemy's strength by one point, and you will increase the enemy's fear by one more point.

The Japanese devils sent a few gunners to confront Shen Chen, but at such a distance, even the devils with good shooting skills could not do anything. At the very least, their eyesight will not be able to see the target, or find the enemy's location.

In desperation, the devil did not dare to walk along the edge of the ditch again, but went into the zigzag ditch to avoid the attack of the cold gun.

The Imperial Allied Army was more unlucky, marching along the edge of the ditch, and constantly cold guns attacked, indiscriminately knocking the soldiers who were walking in front to the ground.

The crops in the surrounding fields had grown to more than two feet high, but the enemy could only advance along the potholed road.

Because, it is very difficult to leave the road and go to the wilderness. A distance of a few tens of meters will make your shoes heavy and muddy.

In addition, it is difficult to drive a cart with a heavy load in the soft and muddy field, and it cannot be moved unless it is pushed on the shoulder.

"Smack!" With a bang, the Devil Sapper's mine detection rod triggered the clamp under the soil, and before he could react, the side wall of the ditch exploded.

Five serial mines exploded on the ditch wall, and in a relatively small space, the gravel mixed with the mines broke the iron, like a large iron hammer that beat the devil into a sieve.

The devil once again learned the cunning and viciousness of the Shina people, and it turned out that landmines could not only be buried in the ground.

The devil officer looked at the miserable soldier, spewing out of his nostrils like an animal, and waved his hand fiercely to give the order to the herald.

It didn't take long for dozens of Imperial Allied troops to be transferred. This time, they were entrusted with a "heavy task" by the devil and were responsible for opening the way forward.

The Imperial Allied Army, the disgrace of the Chinese, bowed its knees to serve the invaders and even slaughtered their own compatriots.

At this time, he was used as cannon fodder and walked in front of the team. There was constant harsh urging from the devil in the back, speeding up, speeding up.

What a tragedy! They worked for the invaders, but the invaders didn't treat them as human beings at all, like a rag that could be discarded at any time.

"Phew!" With a thud, an Imperial Concordant sat down on the ground, clutching his pierced, bleeding feet and screaming.

What new weapons? Kick pistols? The Imperial Concordia troops were a little dumbfounded, and even wondered if the enemy had dug a hole under the ditch so that they could shoot in the face.

The devil's impatient urging came again, and the Imperial Alliance Army could only advance helplessly and fearfully.

Every bit of strangeness under their feet made their hearts tremble, and one by one the white circles stretched forward, and the long yellow snake moved unusually slowly.

Landmines are still being triggered from time to time, but there are far fewer of them. The cold gun is still ringing from time to time, and the frequency is gradually decreasing.

Commander Kataoka of the devil, now regrets it.

Looking at the endless ditch in front of him, mixed with helplessness and resentment, the irritability became stronger and stronger. At this rate, when will the plan be completed?

Stretching out two fingers, Katagang called a traitor not far away to him like a dog, and asked with a calm face, "How long is this road?" Is it all like this before you reach your destination? ”

"Report to Taijun, the roads in the enemy area are almost like this." The traitor nodded and said: "According to the intelligence, the first to dig the road, the most active, hardest, and worst, is still the edge of the bandit area. In the heart of the heart, it's better. ”

Kataoka frowned, and the speed at which a turtle crawled seemed to be unchangeable. Damn China, do you really want to exhaust the patience of the imperial army?

"Is there any other way to detour?" There was another bang in front of him, and a black plume of smoke rose into the air, and Katagang raised his binoculars to look at it, and asked.

The traitor cautiously said: "There is also a way to detour. But it's all narrow, it's rugged, and it's harder than that. ”

Kataoka put down the binoculars and snorted helplessly.

Now I can only work hard to move forward, in order to hurry, let the Imperial Association Army die more, anyway, there will be many opportunities to replenish in the future.

There are many soft-boned people like this, and the corners of Katagang's mouth are slightly upturned, revealing a cold, and a little mocking and contemptuous smile.

Under the urging and coercion of the devils behind him, regardless of life and death, the Imperial Allied Army could only speed up its pace and hastily carry out mine detection, which inevitably increased casualties.

Probably at this time, they will regret serving the tiger and bending their knees to serve the invaders, right? But now it's too late.

What's more, the extreme cowardice who would rather lose his life than dare not resist is just a waste of food to live in the world.

Stepping on the blood of their companions and listening to the wails of their comrades' injuries, the Imperial Allies looked miserable and mournful, and finally used their flesh and blood to make a way for the invaders.

A village appeared in front of it, and there was a dead silence inside, as if facing the invaders with silence, and as if an outburst of suppressed anger was brewing.

The Imperial Concordants were still some distance away from the entrance of the village, so they coiled together like a poisonous snake, looking at the village with their eyes blank. They have been made highly nervous and full of grass and trees by all kinds of traps.

The entrance to the village has been renovated, and several manipulator walls more than one person high are staggered left and right, completely blocking the enemy's gaze from looking into the village.

"Smack!" An accurate bullet suddenly shot from the village, and one of the officers of the Imperial Allied Army fell on his back, while the other Imperial Allied troops fell on their stomachs.
