Seventy-four mine warfare

The 2nd Brigade of the 21st Wing of the 5th Division was stationed in Hanoi, and the troops under Captain Ha Cun were insufficient, so he had to defend the roads and railways in the north and arrange for troops to be stationed in various mines, rubber plantations, and other places.

After receiving the call for help from the mine, he found that he did not have many mobile troops in his hands, so he had to send a squad of gendarmes and two squadrons of engineers and light and heavy soldiers to form a temporary squadron to support.

The gendarmerie squad Nakamura is honored to be the temporary squadron leader, and he is full of ambition on a tall horse, what happened to the gendarmerie? What happened to the light and heavy soldiers? We are the Fifth Division! It's the Steel Army! Even if the light and heavy soldiers are casually pulled out in a small team, they can beat the French all over the ground, but the light and heavy machine guns of the French are really good, and the ammunition is sufficient, just to bring them to the armed forces.

Most of the three squads under his command rode bicycles, and the reconnaissance squad at the front was all equipped with large Yanmares, with rolling wheels and shiny bayonets all the way, so imposing!

After crossing the Li Xian River, there are more than ten kilometers to the mine, and these 'steel army' troops pounced on the villages on the roadside when they saw them, and went up when they saw women, and carried chickens and ducks with bayonets before leaving.

The gendarmes who usually grasp military discipline are more ruthless than light and heavy soldiers at this time, and they have to vent if they hold it for too long, so the Vietnamese people along the way poured blood mold, and after the strong work, they also used bayonets to pick the women to death, these women are all laborers! After you kill people, whoever farms the land, all the Vietnamese men hate these animals to the core!

Retribution soon came, when the devil was still three kilometers away from the mine, he found a flat land on the side of the road, and Captain Nakamura ordered all the people to rest, be on guard, and let the cavalry squad dismount and go out to reconnoitre. There was no fault in his approach, but it was a pity that the opponent had already thoroughly understood the tactics of the Japanese army.

A sapper was about to stand guard between two trees, and by his professional habits, his eyes kept scanning the trees and the ground, when suddenly he noticed that something was wrong, a breeze blew, and a row of grass did not move with the wind! After the "danger" was shouted, everyone stopped, but Captain Ueda was an old member of the engineering team, and everyone admired him.

I saw Ueda bend down and gently pick up the grass and look, "Yo Xi, can you hide my eyes by dyeing the steel wire green?" ”

After a while, he said, "What a powerful opponent, there is a third grenade hidden on the side, if you only cut the steel wire just now, this one will explode!" "The subordinates suddenly praised in their hearts, in the end, they are seniors, otherwise we would die today.

Ueda took out the vice from his pocket, and with a "click" he cut the wire attached to the third grenade, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he suddenly found that the wire was pulled backwards like a snake.

"Yaga, get down!" Ueda, who knew that it was not good, shouted. The devils in the center of the clearing all reflexively lay on the ground, and "tom tom tom" saw three or five small balls suddenly jump around the clearing, exploding in the air at a height of one meter as scheduled in everyone's desperate eyes. "Bang bang bang" thousands of quasi-steel balls are scattered to the world like hail!

Ueda looked at the entire squadron of injured people howling with great regret, and smashed his fist into the ground, "Yaga, this is the enemy's serial plan, there is no solution, as long as the steel wire is scraped or cut, it will activate the circuit of the thunder, and the only way is not to cripple your hands!" ”

Throwing down more than fifty dead and wounded men, Nakamura snorted angrily and continued to move forward with more than half of the squadron, because the cavalry troops came to report that there was no danger ahead, but the hundreds of Frenchmen were still lying on the square inside the mine gate.

The sappers suffered a lot of casualties in the explosion just now, and they had to use Ueda as a last resort, who made him a veteran?

The veteran took a dozen or so remaining subordinates to take a long time to get out a dozen unexploded grenades that were obviously placed around the square, which won a round of applause, and the sappers all felt blush, everyone could see the grenades on the ground, even an ordinary soldier could get rid of them, and it took them two hours for the sappers! It's really a snake bite, and I'm afraid of grass ropes for ten years!

This mine is semi-shallow type, that is to say, coal was first found at the foot of the mountain in front, and after digging, the entire foot of the mountain formed a big crocodile mouth, and then dug deep inside, Ueda took the sappers to carefully inspect the vicinity of the mountain pass, and found nothing, turned around and asked Captain Nakamura to leave the team away from the crocodile mouth, Nakamura waved his hand, and half of the squadron withdrew to two hundred meters from the mountain pass before stopping, he was also afraid that the enemy would plant explosives and blow up the mountain pass.

Ueda advanced with a flashlight, and a dozen or so sappers behind him were fifteen meters away, and after advancing for a while, due to the water on the ground, there was a section of wood that was supplemented with wooden planks, and he did not have time to open them one by one to check, so he had to carefully move forward step by step.

After turning several corners, Ueda finally stopped at the fork in the mine, and a dozen or so men ran closer to see, "My good man, how many explosives does the enemy have here?" It's a ton of it," Ueda said suddenly, "have you noticed that the air is a little dull?" Several people took a breath and said, "It's a little, isn't it?" "Not good, vents, the enemy is stuffed with explosives in all three vents! Come on! ”

When they stepped on the boardwalk again, suddenly there was a tsunami-like explosion inside and outside the mine, Ueda suddenly paused, and cold sweat broke out on his face, "Yaga, we were fooled again" But time did not allow them to stay, and when they were spewed out of the crocodile mouth by the powerful air flow blowing from the cave, they all cried.

It's really miserable, the three zigzag ventilation holes on the top of the cave are stuffed with at least 3,000 catties of explosives, and half of the rocks on the top of the mountain are pushed to two or three hundred meters in front of the crocodile's mouth.

Ueda fell to his knees all of a sudden, "I killed you, Yaga, if you come out, we will fight with bayonets face to face!" However, there was silence all around, only a few undead moaning.

"Choke" Ueda pulled out his sword and said to his subordinates, "Tada-kun, please remember that our enemies are terrible, they are poisonous snakes, I made such a big mistake, I really don't have the face to see people, please make a mistake for me"

Senior soldier Tada suddenly hugged his arm, "Ueda-senpai, you can't die, you haven't said how we were fooled?"

Ueda said quietly, "The enemy took advantage of our psychology this time, and once they found that the vent was buried, they would definitely flee outside, so they set up a secondary firing mechanism on the boardwalk, that is, the first time we stepped on it with at least ten people, the circuit began to connect." And the second time we ran all the way onto the boardwalk, the battery activated the detonator and detonated the explosives, so last time he used a trick to let us down our guard, and this time he used psychological warfare, and I, I don't complain about losing! ”

It's just that Ueda didn't cut his stomach open in the end, and Tada and a few others snatched his knife down, and everyone thought to themselves, 'If you cut your stomach, we won't be able to carry such a big pot!'" ’
