More than 20 bombers kept circling and bombing, and the huge explosion had a clear sense of vibration in Dahe Village, a few kilometers away, because the devils bombed very fiercely, Zhao Youde and the others could not go deep into the minefield for the time being, so they could only stay in the dense forest west of Dahe Village, waiting for the opportunity.

"Deputy battalion commander, if the devil continues like this, our minefield will be completely destroyed." A platoon commander said with an anxious face.

Zhao Youde said: "I have reported to the battalion commander, I believe that the regiment commander should have gotten the news and is coming, and there will be a way when the regiment commander comes, calm down and wait patiently." ”

The two of them had a conversation, and more than a dozen devil planes that were originally hovering in the sky suddenly flew over Dahe Village and swooped down fiercely from the air on this projectile land.

Fortunately, the people in Dahe Village have already moved, and the people led by Guo Meng have also entered the tunnel, the village is empty, and the dense dive and strafing of the devils seems to be amazing, but it has failed to cause substantial damage to the dragon's tooth soldiers and civilians.

Da Da Da ...... The devil's course machine gun kept spitting out tongues of fire, and the dense bullets hit the village buildings in all directions, and the earth and rocks were splashed.

Some doors and windows were smashed and devastated.

The bombing and air raid by the devils lasted about 20 minutes, and basically all the ammunition they carried this time was emptied, and they began to return home under the escort of fighter planes.

At this time, Qiao Youhua also happened to arrive with a reconnaissance company, Qiao Youhua made it easy to communicate with Luquan County, and specially asked Liu Xiaohai to bring a radio station, which was captured from the devils in yesterday's battle.

After arriving at Dahe Village, Qiao Youhua left a few soldiers to guard the radio station and horses, and he rushed to the minefield with hundreds of soldiers of the reconnaissance company, just in time to meet Zhao Youde.

"Commander." Zhao Youde and several other officers hurriedly saluted, Qiao Youhua waved his hand to stop: "Okay, the situation is urgent, there is no need to be polite, hurry up and follow me to the front to have a look, everyone is ready for battle." ”

Zhao Youde suddenly agreed, turned his head and said sharply to the more than 800 subordinates under his command: "Each platoon is ready to fight!" ”

On the periphery of the minefield, looking at the front where the smoke had not yet dispersed, the commander of the 9th Brigade in charge of the commander-in-chief of this combat operation, Takaki Tanji, held the telescope and couldn't help nodding and said, "Engineer Wing, it's time to go." ”

After the battle of the past few days, the 21st Brigade was almost wiped out by the heavy blow, and Takagi Duanji no longer dared to have any arrogance, and was much more cautious and steady than before.

This should also be the so-called eating a trench and growing wisdom.

A wing commander next to him bowed his head suddenly, and then took the order away, and it didn't take long for hundreds of devil sappers to carefully dispatch with mine-clearing tools, heading towards the smoke-filled explosion area.

This time, the sappers of the devil advanced about 500 meters and did not find mines, which made the Japanese tanks, chariots, cavalry, and infantry who followed behind breathe a sigh of relief.

The sappers in front were armed with mine-sweeping tools to investigate, while the sappers in the back were holding sapper shovels and quickly buried the craters of uneven size that had been blown up by aerial bombs.

Paving the way for subsequent infantry, cavalry and armored fighting vehicles is the duty task of the sappers.

When the devil went deep into the minefield for about a kilometer, Qiao Youhua also arrived with the officers and soldiers of the third battalion and the reconnaissance company, without any hesitation, Qiao Youhua personally operated a 60mm mortar and quickly opened fire on the advancing Japanese army.

Several other artillerymen of the third battalion also opened fire one after another, and then Liu Xiaohai and Zhao Youde led the officers and soldiers who had already spread out on the two wings to fire fiercely at the devil in vain.

The bombing of the devil's planes destroyed the integrity of the minefield and cleared a narrow passage for the opposing troops, but that was all, the passage was still surrounded by landmines, and the slightest mistake could kill them.

This also caused the devil's forces to not be able to deploy, but to move forward in a queue formation, and the personnel and chariots were very dense and crowded.

Bang! With a loud bang, the cannonball fired by Qiao Youhua himself accurately landed in the crowd of devil sappers, killing and injuring more than 30 devils on the spot, which shows how dense the devil crowd is.

Zhao Youde and Liu Xiaohai followed Qiao Youhua's orders, and led the troops to spread out in a fan-shaped manner from both wings, and suddenly opened fire, a large number of bullets came overwhelmingly, and the devil soldiers were caught off guard, and they fell down one after another, especially the engineering wing at the front, which was like grass mustard, and was harvested by the fierce fire of the dragon's tooth officers and soldiers.

Takagi Duanji, who didn't follow the team in the distance, was shocked for a while, but fortunately he didn't personally lead the troops forward, otherwise it would be really dangerous under such a dense raid firepower.

However, Takaki Tanji, who had already been mentally prepared, quickly ordered: "The chariot troops will fire back with all their might, cover the retreat of the sappers, and the artillery will prepare artillery fire to cover!" ”

The order was given quickly, and the Japanese army carried it out in an orderly manner.

However, when the devil's armored vehicles and accompanying infantry fired on both sides, the artillery led by Qiao Youhua concentrated their shells and fired at the armored vehicles and tanks in front.

Boom Boom Boom Boom ...... With a few loud bangs, one tank and one armored vehicle were destroyed each of the weakly armored tanks and armored vehicles of the devils, and the explosions also caused great damage to the devil infantry who gathered around them and relied on them to fire back.

The devil's strength and firepower advantage could not be brought into play at all, but they were severely damaged by the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, Qiao Youhua and they took advantage of the situation to fire artillery one after another, and soon destroyed a devil tank.

And killed and wounded a large number of devil infantry, the devil finally couldn't hold on, the infantry, sappers turned around and fled, and the tank and armored vehicles could not retreat in time because they were restricted by the terrain, the wreckage of their own destroyed tanks and the crowded crowd of infantry.

Qiao Youhua manipulated and commanded several mortars to destroy two more in succession, and in the end, a devil tank crashed into the ruins of a blown up armored car, and risked a mine, speeding up from the edge of the field on the side of the road and fleeing in the direction it came.

The first advance was frustrated, and several tanks, armored vehicles and infantry were lost, and the sapper, Takagi Tanji was a little angry, and immediately shouted coldly: "The artillery immediately continues to cover that area, and I want to let the people of China die and die!" ”

After the devils retreated, Qiao Youhua also quickly commanded the troops to retreat, and began to deploy and lay mines along the roads that had been bombed by the devils to repair the minefields as much as possible.

Before they could withdraw far, the devil's artillery fire arrived as promised, landing on the area where they had just been fighting, and clusters of scarlet flames rose to the ground.
