Chapter 304: I Can't Help It! (First update!) )
"Fifty meters...... Thirty meters...... Ten meters ......" everyone silently calculated in their hearts the ever-shortening distance between the Japanese puppet army and the minefield. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
......Finally, a fireball mixed with a large amount of smoke rose from the ground, and then a violent explosion came from the road.
Mines exploded, and deadly ceramic fragments and rubble, like scattered flowers, swept a no-man's land around the blast site.
More than a dozen Japanese puppet soldiers fell to the ground in an instant, and some of them were directly covered in blood and died. Some fell to the ground, curled up and screaming in pain.
"Baga, it's a mine, everyone is hidden!" The devils who were not affected in the back seemed to be frightened by something, and they all lay on the ground.
After half a minute, when no more explosions were heard, the devils stood up.
The lieutenant squad leader who commanded the forward troops saw that his subordinates had suffered so many casualties in an instant, including four imperial soldiers, two of whom could not survive at the sight. The face that was still arrogant just now became angry directly.
"The troops continue to advance, they must find these mined China, kill them, and avenge the warriors of the jade shatter!" The squad leader gritted his teeth and ordered, eager to find the guerrillas directly and chop them alive with the command knife in his hand.
The company commander of the Imperial Association Army next to him hurriedly reminded: "The captain is angry, he is worried that there are mines in front of him, do you want to ask for engineer support!" ”
"By the time the sappers came, those people who had buried mines had already run away!" The squad leader scolded mercilessly.
Then analyzed: "With such a powerful mine, there must not be many in the hands of the Chinese people." The troops continued to move forward, and if there were mines ahead, they would call for sapper support. ”
"Hey!" Although the company commander of the Imperial Allied Army still had a reluctant expression, under the gaze of Lieutenant Devil's almost murderous gaze, he could only choose to compromise.
The corpses and wounded were dragged aside, and after the follow-up main force was treated, the puppet army continued to move forward for more than a hundred days.
However, the Japanese puppet army that walked in the forefront, whether it was a devil or an imperial army, was all restless, and a pair of eyes were firmly fixed on their feet, for fear that they would step on a mine again.
"Click!" Suddenly, a slight collision sound sounded at the feet of a devil, the ground that was still flat just now, and as the devil's right foot landed, a small pit appeared directly.
This devil's face turned white in an instant: "Baga, I stepped on a mine!" ”
"Boom!" Before he finished speaking, an explosion sounded at his feet, and the devil was directly blown apart.
More than a dozen Japanese puppet soldiers around were not spared, all of them were blown up, some died on the spot, some fell to the ground and screamed, and another tragic picture appeared on the road.
"Bageya Road, how can there be mines, where did the Eighth Route Army get so many powerful mines!" The lieutenant squad leader could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and then scolded loudly regardless of his identity.
"Captain, contact the sappers immediately and ask for sapper support!" The company commander of the Imperial Cooperative Army, who lost nearly a squad, immediately reminded him after being heartbroken.
"Then what are you doing in a daze, immediately report to Your Excellency the captain, and ask him to send sappers to mine us!"
Soon, a dozen sappers rushed over with mine detectors, led by a second lieutenant.
After giving the lieutenant squad leader a military salute, he ordered his subordinates to line up, hold the mine detector, and walk forward little by little.
The devil sappers were lucky that the mine detectors did not detect the third mine that the guerrillas had prepared for them, and they did not step on this mine.
"Yo Xi, there are no more mines ahead, the troops continue to advance!" After seeing that the sappers had walked more than twenty meters without finding anything, the lieutenant was visibly relieved.
However, the troops had barely walked fifteen meters when the last thing the squad leader wanted to hear was an explosion on the road.
This time, more than a dozen Imperial Army and Imperial Allied Army were killed and wounded.
"Baga, why are there still mines, what are the sappers doing to eat, why haven't they been found." The squad leader vented all his anger on the sapper at once, asking the sapper to give him an explanation.
The sapper squad leader was embarrassed and incomprehensible.
"Please rest assured, sir, I'll find out right away!"
After saying that, the leader of the engineer squad rushed to the wounded to check the situation of the mine explosion, and several sappers also ran over to assist.
Soon, several ceramic fragments pulled out of the wounded wounds were concentrated in the hands of the sapper squad leader.
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, it actually uses ceramics as a mine, no wonder our metal detector has no response!" The team leader suddenly realized and reported.
The lieutenant, who was about to be furious just now, had no choice at this time.
The accident just now was not the negligence of the sappers, but the cunning of their opponents.
In the end, the lieutenant squad leader could only suppress his anger in his heart again, and anxiously asked the engineer squad leader: "Then is there a way to remove these mines, if there is no way, the troops will not be able to march along the road at all!" ”
"There is a way! The sapper squad leader affirmed.
As soon as the lieutenant had a smile on his face, before he could speak, the engineer squad leader changed his words and continued: "But there is a problem! ””
"When we can't use mine detectors, we can also clear mines manually. But there is a problem, the speed of demining is very slow! ”
"How long will it take!" The lieutenant's brow furrowed again, and he asked after the engineer squad leader.
"It takes ten minutes to clear 100 meters!" The sapper squad leader replied with an embarrassed expression.
"No, it's been too long!" The lieutenant refused without thinking.
"We've been here for more than ten minutes, and another ten minutes will be almost half an hour. If you hit a mine, you will be delayed for half an hour, and you will not be able to travel several kilometers in a day! How to sweep the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and encircle and suppress the independent regiment. ”
The leader of the engineer squad replied helplessly: "Apart from this method, I can't think of any other way!" ”
"If the commander is really unable to decide, contact and report to His Excellency the Captain, and ask His Excellency the Captain to adjudicate."
"That's all I can do!" The lieutenant replied helplessly.
Soon, the captain listened to the report, and the spirit before the battle was high, but at this time, it was all gone.
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army, I will find them sooner or later and kill them all!" The captain first scolded for a while, and then began to give orders.
"There are only two options: demining, or bypassing mines."
The deputy captain next to him immediately reminded: "Captain, it is definitely impossible to bypass the mines. ”
"We brought a lot of baggage and artillery, and we couldn't go without the road, these carts and heavy weapons couldn't go at all, unless we divided our troops. However, before leaving, His Excellency the General repeatedly ordered that we should not divide our troops under any circumstances, and not give the Eighth Route Army a chance to break us! ”
"Then there is only one way left to clear the mine~" The captain replied helplessly.
