I wanted to avenge the cavalry who were blown into pieces or minced meat, but I didn't expect to be bombed like this just after setting off, and the mood of the cavalry wing commander can be imagined, but the order to pursue was given by him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the remaining cavalry stopped rushing forward and the deadly explosions finally subsided, the road was filled with screams again. Even in the midst of these screams, there were many mournful voices of war horses.

Seeing that the cavalry that rushed to the front was not dead or wounded, the cavalry behind did not dare to continue the pursuit. No one knows how long the minefield laid out by the Eighth Route Army is. If the mines on the road are not cleared, it is estimated that they will not dare to ride any further.

The captain of the Japanese infantry group who stayed behind, undoubtedly an officer with good eyesight, said in a timely manner: "Engineer squadron, go to demine immediately." The infantry squadron immediately went to the rescue and rescued all our warriors.

The medical soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to bandage and treat. In addition, the rear hospital will be notified to prepare for first aid, and if there is a serious injury, the rear hospital will be sent to the rear hospital for surgery as soon as possible. Hurry up! ”

Looking at the cavalry captain's aggrieved face like eating stool, the infantry captain also gave the order in time. The sappers who rushed to clear the mines also felt a little weak when they saw the potholes that had been blown out on the road.

For their part, they have also encountered mines laid by the Central Army on the battlefield. But as it is today, mine formations were at least a few hundred metres long, and mines were laid on both sides of the road, except in the middle of the road.

Such a means of laying mines is also very risky for the sappers who clear the mines. Once you hit a minefield, many times people who enter the minefield will not end well.

The most unfortunate situation was that these cavalrymen had previously rushed forward at the speed of a charge. It turned out that even some cavalry wanted to choke their horses and stop advancing. But in this case, how can they stop?

Looking at the tragic situation of some cavalry being trampled to death, these sappers and the infantry who followed up to rescue felt very fortunate for no reason. If it weren't for the fact that these cavalrymen had gone to the mines in advance, it is estimated that they would have been blown up.

On the other hand, the scouts who were staying a few hundred meters in front of the minefield at the moment felt very funny when they saw that it was the cavalry who were pursuing them. They could almost predict what would happen to these little devil cavalry when they entered the minefield.

This time, among the materials they brought from Yulin, there were many mines. Even the small arsenal established in Dabie Mountain today is capable of producing mines and ammunition for reloading troops.

According to the plan determined by He Zhengdao when he came, this arsenal opened in Dabie Mountain was more engaged in the maintenance of guns and the production of some simple ammunition. As for landmines, Ho Zhengdao also hopes that they will be distributed to guerrilla brigades in the future.

As long as these guerrillas are taught how to use landmines correctly, He Zhengdao believes that the guerrilla brigade with these mines will be able to deal with the little devils. To some extent, it can even deter the little devils who often raid the village.

Seeing that the little devil's sappers began to clear mines, several scouts immediately said: "Can you make it a little more difficult for them to clear mines?" ”

'Well, at such a distance, if we are careful, there shouldn't be any danger. As long as the little devils shell, we will leave. If they don't shell, we'll shoot their minesweepers. ’

After some discussion, except for the sniper, who stopped at a distance of six hundred meters, the rest of the scouts leaned forward a little more. They knew very well that in fact, with the cavalry stepping on it like this, there was actually not much minefield left.

Shooting these sappers will undoubtedly buy some time. In this way, fighting from time to time can not only eliminate some little devils, but also buy precious time for the troops who have withdrawn from the rear.

After all, the later the little devils arrive at the blocking positions set up in the Fifth Theater, the more time the blocking troops who are building fortifications will have to strengthen their fortifications and defensive forces, and they can also delay the time for the Japanese army to advance into Wuhan.

As the scouts reached a distance of about two hundred meters from the sappers, they stopped. When the squad leader who led the team gave the order, each of these scouts was in charge of one, and almost at the same time pulled the trigger in his hand.

After a few shots, the sappers who were at the forefront of the minesweeper fell to the ground. One of the sappers was unlucky, and when he fell, he got a buried mine in his head.

As a result, it became clear that the mine was detonated in an instant. Several sappers who followed up next to him were also unlucky to be hit by shrapnel and fell in a pool of blood. The sound of gunfire and explosions startled the Japanese infantry as they cleaned up the mess.

'Yaga! These damn Chinese army, they even dare to provoke! Machine gun squad, drive them away! ’

A Japanese squadron leader who was in charge of collecting the corpses, when he heard that the gunfire was not dense, knew that these scouts were hiding in the mountains and shooting the mine-clearing sappers. Without fire cover and suppression, the sappers would not have been able to concentrate on mine clearance.

After firing a few bullets, looking at the little devil machine gunner who rushed to support, the leader of the reconnaissance team also said wisely: "Okay! Let's withdraw, the little devil's reinforcements are coming, let's kill them with our snipers! ”

There was no need for the squad leader to order, looking at these little devils with machine guns, snipers who had been looking for sniper targets, and began to shoot by name six hundred meters away. These little devils, who were setting up machine guns, were soon killed one by one.

'Baga, go, get our mortars and take out that damn sniper!' ’

Seeming to know that the snipers were out of range of their machine guns, rifles, and even grenadiers. If you don't bring the mortars, you'll be happy to drive away the scouts who are like wolves and pounce when they see the benefits.

With the little devil's mortar squad in place, the sniper also decisively collected his guns and left. If you make a call like this, no matter how you do, you can waste about half an hour of the little devil's time. They already think it's good to be able to get half an hour.

Through the binoculars, looking at the reconnaissance team of the Eighth Route Army that began to slide along the hillside, the Japanese squadron leader who commanded the battle said a little angrily: "Cowards, are you still not soldiers?" How can you run away without a fight? ”

For the squadron leader's angry rebuke, the reconnaissance detachment that had accelerated its retreat naturally ignored it. Even if he hears this, it is estimated that the scout will give this squadron leader a sentence of 'don't slip away at this time, be stupid'!

As a result, it was clear that the Japanese squadron, which had lost more than a dozen sappers and infantry, had only fired two shots when the mortars were dragged over, and the squadron leader ordered the shelling to stop. The reason is simple, the reconnaissance squad has disappeared from his sight.

But even so, the infantry squadron leader gave the order to keep this mortar squad in the squadron. Once these reconnaissance detachments of the Eighth Route Army go and return, he will not be able to do it at that time, and let the other side find an opportunity to shoot their cold guns.

The reorganized sappers quickly cleared the remaining mines from the road. What made the cavalry wing commander vomit blood was that the sappers did not discharge many mines. As long as their cavalry fought again, it is estimated that they will break through this mine array.

Just worried that the mine array was very long, as a result of which they stopped the pursuit. And at this time, no matter how much they chase, it is estimated that they will not be able to catch up with the reconnaissance troops of the Eighth Route Army, which are already running oil on the soles of their feet. And this situation will also be staged in the future.

Qiu Jingshan, who returned to the rear of the 77th Army to rest unharmed, was also highly praised by Feng Zhi'an. But at the same time, Feng Zhi'an also learned about the situation on the front line from the reconnaissance unit of the military department.

Feng Zhi'an also felt very embarrassed that the troops failed to retreat as planned and almost formed a situation where they were chased and killed by little devils along the way. He knew very well that this time he really relied on the blessing of the righteous path and saved the face of their 77th Army.

If it really forms a rout, the 77th Army, which has just been commended by the government, will also be greatly embarrassed. When the time comes, it is estimated that many people will wonder how their previous victory came about.

Thinking of this, Feng Zhi'an also said in a timely manner: "Staff Officer Qiu, if you have a chance, please help me ask to see when it is convenient for Commander He, I want to visit him in person." This time, it's really thanks to them. ”

'Throne, I will convey your greetings. It's just that I really don't know if Commander He has time. I heard that the previous air raid by the little devils caused a lot of losses to the 67th Army.

This time he came to help us, more to find revenge on the little devil. Although we have lost a lot of troops before, in the process of pursuit, the little devils are afraid that they will suffer more casualties than us. Speaking of which, we've earned it too! ’

'Yes! It is worthy of the old foundation of the independent division of the Eighth Route Army, it seems that there is a chance, and we really want to learn the techniques and tactics with them. Can you tell your superiors that you will pick up some military instructors from Commander's troops? ’

Thinking of Qiu Jingshan, although they are all outstanding military and political cadres of the Eighth Route Army. But in Feng Zhi'an's opinion, these scouts who helped them stop the little devils were the real battlefield elites, and their individual combat skills were really strong.

If he can train such an elite reconnaissance unit in his military headquarters, it will also play an important role in their fight against little devils in the future. For this reason, Feng Zhi'an also took the initiative to hope that the Eighth Route Army could send instructors over.

For such an invitation, Qiu Jingshan was naturally optimistic, but he still said: "Junzao, I still need to ask my superiors for this matter!" However, as far as I know, these subordinates of Commander He are very fond of our other main divisions.

The troops that assisted us in the fight this time were all elite units trained by Commander He, and each of them had excellent military qualities. If the troops are decentralized, they can basically serve as combat officers.

If we want to dig these people from Commander He to come over to us as instructors, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. However, for the sake of our allies now, perhaps Commander He will be worth sending some instructors to us! ”

As a representative of the Eighth Route Army sent to the 77th Army, Qiu Jingshan naturally hoped that there would be more such dispatches. In this way, they will undoubtedly have more supporters in the 77th Army in the future, and they will have more troops in the 77th Army that they can master! (To be continued.) )
