The road was filled with black smoke, and when the black smoke cleared, I saw two sharp soldiers lying on the ground screaming miserably, one of them with bloody legs and the other with blood flowing from his head. The soldiers in the back were lying on the ground at the moment of the explosion, and after the smoke cleared, several soldiers came up and carefully carried the injured soldiers away. The enemy did not seem to be alarmed, and soon a platoon of soldiers came up from the rear line, with bamboo sticks in their hands, and self-evidently prepared to detect mines. The soldiers, skillfully lying on the ground, began to look for buried mines, apparently specially trained.

After a while, the road was full of small flags, and the division of labor was clear, and a platoon of soldiers came up behind to dig mines. After a while, more than a dozen stone mines were successfully dug out, and the morale of the enemy troops was greatly boosted. A soldier on the Red Army position said distressedly: "Company commander, the mines we planted have been dug up. A squad leader of an engineer battalion sneered: "Brother, don't worry, most of this section is fake mines, let the enemy dig slowly!" I'll let you watch a good show in a moment. The squad leader of the engineer battalion continued: "Company commander, look at the good show there is about to be staged." ”

The company commander aimed the telescope at an enemy mine-digging soldier, only to see that the soldier carefully cut the ignition line, and then slowly lifted the stone mine, at this moment a puff of black smoke came out from below, followed by an explosion, it turned out that there was a mine under the stone mine. The moment the soldier picked up the stone mine, he sounded the fuse of the mine below, and the soldier who saw him die in the black smoke of the explosion, and the other soldiers who were digging the mine were frightened. The enemy stopped digging mines for a while, and then learned their lesson and cleared them more carefully.

Stacked aside by the mines that were raised and the number was increasing, the soldiers who dug the mines seemed to be becoming more and more efficient. Suddenly, the soldiers in front of the mine detector, I don't know what mechanism was touched, only to see a burst of smoke, the soldier who was detecting the mine was so frightened that they got up and ran away, and in an instant several mines exploded continuously, and several soldiers who were detecting the mine were swallowed up by the smoke of the explosion. On the Red Army's blocking position, the soldiers cheered. "Brother, what happened just now?" The company commander asked curiously. "Haha, this is called a hair chain mine, and the enemy soldier broke the hair strand, triggering the mine detonation device."

"Who came up with this idea, it's amazing!" The company commander gave a thumbs up. "Brother, let's be honest, this was the idea of the Legion Commander, and we tried and tested to create mines that are extremely responsive. Now we still have sub-mother mines, serial mines, heavenly maiden scattered flowers, delayed explosion mines, etc. "The black and red face of the squad leader of the engineer battalion is full of confidence and treasures." Brother, your engineer battalion is a real cow, this real or false mine array can make the enemy drink a pot. As soon as the company commander's words fell, a soldier shouted: "Company commander, the enemy has retreated!" ”

In Yongxiu County, division commander Mao Bingwen heard that the demining soldiers had been bombed one after another, so he had to order the 25th Brigade to temporarily stop advancing. At this time, a communications officer came in and reported: "Report to the division, the 24th Division is calling, and the 70th Brigade of the headquarters has been intercepted by the Red Army's mine array. "The 70th Brigade encountered the same situation as us, it seems that Ouyang Jian is not in vain, we must carefully study the countermeasures." Mao Bingwen realized that Ouyang Jian was indeed difficult to deal with. "Master, Ouyang Jian is indeed cunning, according to the report of the 25th Brigade, the vast majority of the mines dug up are fake mines, and it is difficult to judge whether they are true or false, false or false."

The chief of staff continued: "If the demining soldiers are bombed continuously, not only will the morale of the soldiers be shocked, but we will also be frightened, and we must come up with countermeasures." "Report, the Jiujiang command is calling." Mao Bingwen took the telegram and said happily: "Commander-in-Chief Zhu has called, and the 1st and 2nd air teams have entered Jiujiang and Jingdezhen airports respectively, and bombed Yunshui County three days later. No matter how cunning Ouyang Jian was, he couldn't defuse the air strike. In order to boost morale, I preached to the officers and men that I was about to launch a fierce bombardment of Yunshui County. ”

After that, the enemy army really came up with a lot of good ways to deal with the strange mine array. For example, mules are used to pull rocks to wade mines, grenades are used to detonate mines, long wooden poles are used to clear mines, and so on, in short, various means are used to destroy minefields. In the headquarters of the Red 9th Division, an operational staff officer said: "Division commander, the enemy army has advanced 3 kilometers in two days using various means. Xiao Ke groaned for a moment and said, "Pass my order and immediately implement the strike plan." The order was given, and two mortars appeared on a low hill in the preface defensive position.

At this time, the road under the mountain ridge was being demined by enemy troops. An officer whispered in the grass: "According to the pre-measured Zhuyuan, this place is 1,200 meters away from the enemy army in front. Listen to my order to fire two rounds of 4-round rapid fire, and then quickly retreat. As soon as the officer's words fell, two ** shots broke out of the air, and the shells accurately fell in the enemy's mine-clearing array, accompanied by a violent explosion, the enemy panicked, and then the two shells fell into the enemy's formation, and the enemy's demining soldiers fled backwards.

It was clear that the enemy was prepared, and the artillery that was in high standing immediately bombarded the ridge. By the time the shells landed on the ridge, the mortar assault group had already retreated. The enemy bombarded it, and seeing that there was no movement in the mountains, they resumed demining work. At this time, a few more ** shots flew from the other direction, which made the enemy army anxious. The enemy then sent out small forces to search for the attackers, only to be attacked by surprise. In this way, stumbling and stumbling, the 25 brigade advanced 8 kilometers, and the attack of the Red Army suddenly began on a large scale, and without any daylight.

At the headquarters of the 9th Division of Yongxiu, the chief of staff saw Mao Bingwen with a depressed face and said: "Division, Ouyang Jian used a mine array to block our advance, and now he is carrying out frequent attacks during the day, if this continues, we will be dragged down." I propose a-for-tat confrontation, in which the attacking forces change their defenses in a timely manner, and a small force is formed to insert into the earthquake to attack the enemy. Mao Bingwen agreed: "Good idea, we can't let Ouyang Jian lead the way." The 25th Brigade was ordered to retreat and rest, and the 27th Brigade was prepared to advance and continue to advance towards Yunshui County. The 26th Brigade, which was appointed as an assistant in defense, was ordered to organize elite troops to attack deep into the ground formation. ”

In the middle of the night, an enemy sneak attack unit entered, with a strength of about a company. The commander of the enemy company glanced at his pocket watch and said: "Brothers, we have penetrated 5 kilometers into the ground formation, it is now 1 o'clock in the morning, the strength of the Red Army around is unknown, everyone will rest for a few hours, and act again at dawn according to the situation." After daybreak, the reconnaissance team came back to report that the Red Army headquarters had been found on the north side, and that the Red Army headquarters had lax security on the south side. When the commander of the enemy company heard of the great joy, he immediately decided to attack the headquarters of the Red Army, and with an order the enemy troops to touch to the north, the dense woods played a good role in covering.

The scattered lines of the enemy troops were advancing when suddenly a violent explosion rang out, and a thick cloud of smoke rose in the woods. "Company commander, there are mines here!" A subordinate panicked and reported it. After a while, the enemy company commander came to the body of the soldier who had been killed and looked at it, and then suddenly woke up and said: "Not good! The Red Army had already taken precautions, we were exposed, and immediately retreated! "The enemy retreated quickly and quickly by the same route. The headquarters of the Red Army, which was attacked by surprise, happened to be the headquarters of the Red 9th Division. The command placed alarm mines on the north and south sides, while the troops were placed in the front and rear positions.

When the explosion sounded, an operational staff officer quickly reported: "Report to the division commander, the mine in the No. 22 area on the south side has been alarmed, and it may be a small group of enemy sneak attack troops." Xiao Ke looked at the map with his eyes and said decisively: "If the enemy is a small group of sneak attack troops, they will definitely retreat along the 15th area, and order the guard battalion to eat this group of enemies in the 15th area, and they must not be allowed to escape." The political commissar said with a smile: "This night, the enemy army dispatched 4 sneak attack troops, this is to play guerrilla warfare with us!" ”

Xiao Ke smiled: "We are their masters in guerrilla warfare, and if you want to learn, you must pay tuition!" "Report, the 3rd Regiment called, and in the morning, half of the enemy's battalion was annihilated in the area of No. 55, and the rest of the enemy fled." "Report, the 2nd Regiment Search Force annihilated a platoon of the enemy!" "Report! ・・・・・・。 Xiao Ke said: "The enemy army will not be good at doing a good job when it suffers losses, and orders all departments to be vigilant, and orders the engineer company to have a predictor in the arrangement of guarded mines." Since the enemy wants to play guerrilla warfare, we will have a good time with it.

A company of enemy troops exposed in Area 22 ran to Area 15 an hour later, and the guard battalion that arrived first had already set up their pockets. After a company of enemy troops successfully slipped into the pocket, the battle began. A company of enemy troops was surrounded by regiments, and the enemy troops attacked left and right to resist stubbornly on the spot without success. "Company commander, what should we do if we are surrounded?" One of the subordinates panicked. The enemy company commander said with a pale face: "It seems that the Red Army has been prepared for a long time, and we have been fooled." There were no guard units on the south side of the Red Army headquarters, but minefields were arranged, which was to lure us to the bait. ”

At this time, the gunfire around him stopped, and a Red Army soldier shouted with an iron horn: "Brothers of the Central Army, you are surrounded and cannot escape, in order to avoid senseless killing, please lay down your arms and surrender, we promise to treat the prisoners preferentially!" The Red Army soldier continued: "Brothers of the Central Army, give you 10 minutes to think about it, and in 10 minutes we will attack." A clear voice came, and everyone stared at the company commander with wide eyes, waiting for his decision. The company commander looked at the brothers and naturally knew everyone's feelings.

The enemy company commander waved his hand helplessly, and his subordinates shouted loudly: "Brothers of the Red Army, don't shoot, we surrender!" "Please stand up and throw your weapons away!" The soldiers of the Central Army stood up obediently, obediently threw their weapons on the ground, and then waited in place with their hands raised. Red Army soldiers surrounded from all sides. "Company commander, Ouyang Jian's troops are really unusual, look at their uniforms are neater than ours, it seems that Ouyang Jian's troops are very rich!" "Shut your mouth and be careful with your guns!" The company commander closed his eyes decadently.

Having lost three and a half companies of troops overnight, Mao Bingwen was furious when he heard this, and ordered to continue to send out sneak attack troops to cover the advance of the large army. Although it paid a certain price, the harassment of the Red Army in demining was limited, and the progress of demining was accelerated. But Mao Bingwen didn't expect to be fooled again, when the troops advanced to an area still 10 kilometers away from Yunshui County, he actually paid the price of a regiment's casualties, and the other party was almost not injured. Xu Kexiang advanced a little slower than him, about 15 kilometers, but also paid the price of two battalions of casualties.

The two hoped to save face from the air strike in Yunshui County, but the result was shocking.
