At this time, the Japanese marching brigade was extremely tired, and after a day of rapid marching, many soldiers did not rest, and everyone marched with squinted eyes. At the beginning of the march, because in order to seize the time to feel the assembly place as quickly as possible, when they were resting for lunch, they were attacked by a small group of troops of the Zhina people, and when the Japanese army sent troops to chase and kill them, they had already run away, and when the Japanese army returned to continue eating, the group of Zhina people came out again to make trouble and harass, so Xiang Jing Toshiming was very worried that the troops would be attacked again in the process of marching, and strictly ordered the troops not to relax and keep on guard to march, and every soldier was loaded with rifles. And each infantry squadron rotates to see the surrounding guards patrolling, so the already tired soldiers. was tossed by Toshi to the well, which can be described as full of complaints.

Until about six o'clock in the afternoon, Toshiaki Mukai could vaguely see the outline of a city in front of him through the telescope, and his heart that had been tense for a day was finally let go. Just as he was glad that he had not been attacked, the squadron leader of the vanguard came to his eyes to report to the captain that there seemed to be no one in the town in front of him.

"Nani, isn't there a garrison in this town? How could there be no one! Send the soldiers of the Manchurian Army to reconnoiter immediately! Toshiaki's brow began to furrow again.

"Hey!" After speaking. The squadron leader turned and ran towards the front of the group.

"The wing commander ordered that your Manchurian army enter the town to reconnoiter and advance immediately." The squadron leader ordered to the commander of the 6th Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the Manchurian Army in front of him.

"Hey!" The puppet barracks replied loudly.

Turning around, he commanded his men to walk out of their own formation. "Brothers, let's go with me to the town ahead and reconnoitre." The puppet battalion commander pulled out the shell gun at his waist and shouted an order to his soldiers.

Suddenly. The entire puppet army was shining with swords, and all the soldiers were bayonets and shots. The rifle was loaded, and it slowly walked towards the town in a skirmish attack formation. The town was silent. Even all the fortifications at the entrance of the town were intact, but there was no sound, and the puppet battalion commander who led the team looked at the gloomy town in front of him and couldn't help but start to furle. At the same time, I started to get nervous. "Search carefully to see if there are anybody." The puppet barracks commanded loudly.

Soon, a platoon of puppet soldiers walked at the front of the line and headed towards the interior of the town. The commander of the puppet army battalion looked at the military camp that was getting closer and closer, and guessed that the people here must have gone out because of everything, and it seemed that he was thinking too much. Ordered the soldiers to put away their guns and prepare to go back to report that everything was normal, "Boom, boom! Suddenly, several violent explosions reached his ears, and he saw a burst of gunpowder smoke rising from the place where a platoon in front of him was, and all the soldiers were lying on the ground.

"Get down, enemy attack." The commander of the puppet battalion was the first to lie on the ground, holding a shell gun and looking around. But when the smoke cleared and no explosion was heard, the puppet battalion commander raised his head and looked forward. I saw that at the place of the explosion in front of me, there were more than a dozen soldiers squirming on the ground, **.

"I rub, it's a mine. The second platoon rushed to treat the wounded. The remaining soldiers defended on the spot, the lynx, and went back to report to the captain. Let's just say that our troops encountered mines and were not attacked by the enemy. The puppet battalion commander said to the guards around him.

Get orders. Some of the soldiers slowly moved towards the place of the explosion with their guns raised, while the rest took advantage of the terrain. Vigilantly looked around.

The commander of the wing, Toshiaki Mukai, was anxiously waiting for the results of the Manchurian army's reconnaissance on his war horse, when suddenly, a violent explosion was heard in the town. Xiang Jing Minming shuddered, "Baga, what is going on in the town, Xiang Jing Minming asked the chief of staff beside him with a flushed face. ”

Just when the chief of staff did not know how to answer, a messenger from the Manchurian Army who had been sent came to him and said: "Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, our side has been attacked by mines, but it has not been attacked by the enemy, and our department has requested engineering support. ”

"Nani! Mines, Yaga, despicable Shina, ordered the engineer squad to go to the mine immediately, must clear the passage of advance within half an hour, the main force of the wing must camp in the town tonight, Xiang Toshiaki Daisa thought of the attack encountered on this day, he was annoyed, this group of damned Shina people did not dare to fight head-on with the heroic soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army at all, but ran away with a shot, and said nothing tonight to let the soldiers camp in the field outside the town, otherwise this group of damned Shina people will attack and disturb the troops, He can't afford to delay his time, he still has to compete with Takeshi Noda.

After the demining of the Japanese engineer squad, in just less than 20 minutes, dozens of mines have been dug up near the barracks, which made the puppet army battalion commander afraid for a while, just as the puppet army battalion commander waved his hand to let the soldiers enter the barracks, another explosion sounded in the middle of the team, dozens of people were injured and fell to the ground wailing, the puppet army battalion commander while letting people treat the wounded, while staring at the Japanese engineer squad leader with grim eyes, and scolded in his heart: "Little devil, my day your grandmother, didn't you say that the mines were dug out?" Why is there still now, this is treating us inappropriately! In just one hour, more than half of his soldiers had been killed or wounded, which made him very distressed. ”

Turning around, he smiled and asked the Japanese sappers, "Taijun, what's the situation?" ”

Looking at the person who was blown to the ground in front of him, the Japanese squad leader couldn't help but wonder for a while: "Baga, what's going on, why didn't the mine detector respond." Soon, one of the sappers who went to inspect him cleared his mind.

"Report to the squad leader, the mines are made of stones, and the mine detectors do not play any role at all.

"Nani, a mine of stone, the despicable one! Immediately carry out manual minesweeping, hurry, hurry! The squad leader continued. The sappers who received the order took off their equipment one by one, took out a long lightning rod, lay on the ground, and moved forward step by step.

Soon, half an hour passed, and the engineer squad finished cleaning up, and took out a hot one in the process, which made the Japanese army very angry, this group of cunning people is really too bullying, and in the future, they will definitely let this group of people taste the power of the Imperial Japanese Army.

After hearing that all the mines had been disposed of by the sappers, the wing commander Toshiaki Mukai did not feel any sadness because of the hundreds of soldiers killed by the Manchurian Army, but was happy that he could finally stop camping in the wild tonight. ”

"Yo Xi, you are worthy of being soldiers trained by the Empire, and after this encirclement and suppression is completed, I will definitely remember your military exploits." Then, he looked at the puppet army instructor Akasawa Nakasa next to him. Looking at the inquiring eyes of the Wing Captain, Akasawa Nakasa immediately understood that His Excellency the Wing Captain wanted to know about the investigation in the town.

"Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, there are no enemies in the town now, and the garrison team guarding the town has all broken jade for unknown reasons, and all the corpses are piled up in the barracks. However, after detailed reconnaissance by the Manchurian Army, there was no sign of any fighting in the town, so we could not find out the reason for all the jade shatters of the garrison team. Akasawa told the captain in detail what he knew.

"Yo Xi, your hard work, when I go back, I will ask for credit for you, and order the main force of the wing to leave the strength of the second squadron and serve as a guard on the periphery, and the third squadron will guard the various exits of the town, and all the soldiers will enter the town immediately, and each unit will take the squad as a unit to find a camp on its own, and the wing headquarters will be set up in the barracks of the garrison team, and it will be executed immediately." After listening to Akasawa Nakasa's introduction, Wing Commander Toshiaki Mukai finally put his mind at ease and issued a series of orders to the chief of staff in front of him.

looked at Mukai Minming praising Akasawa Nakasa, which made the puppet battalion commander Cheng Bao very angry, these credits were all earned by the brothers with their bodies, originally he wanted to go and talk to the wing captain to see if he could get some pensions for these brothers who had sacrificed and disabled, but when he came back after dealing with it, he found that the instructor Akasawa Nakasa sent by Japan stopped all the credit on himself, and threw all the blame on the soldiers who had sacrificed, which made Cheng Bao want to go over and beat Chi Ze fiercely, But as soon as he made a move, he was pulled by the two company commanders beside him.

Soon the orders of the various army squads began to march into the town in an orderly manner, and the troops in charge of the garrison quickly arranged for the soldiers to occupy the various fortifications left by the original garrison squad. At the same time, the attached light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and mortars were also set up by the soldiers. (To be continued......)
