Nochu Ren is a veteran, he was born in an ordinary rural village in Tokyo, he has been in the army for ten years, looking at the mighty troops around him, he can't help but think of his former comrades-in-arms, the first division is the base camp of the imperial faction, originally has been guarding in Tokyo, in the battle between the imperial faction and the control faction, the imperial faction misjudged the situation and launched the 226 incident, among which there are more than 1,000 people from the first wing and the third wing of the first division, although in the end the first division has a meritorious counterinsurgency, But he was still transferred to Manchuria at that time. It was at that time that Renta Nonaka, who was still a squad leader, came to China at that time.

Noaka Ren couldn't help but sigh that if those rebellious comrades-in-arms didn't rebel, they would definitely be enjoying the supreme glory of conquering China just like themselves.

Renta Noaka shook his head and dispelled these memories of the past, now that he was a captain and the pride of the village, all he needed to do now was to defeat all the enemies in front of him and take this huge Shina to present to His Majesty the Emperor.

"How far is it to Qinglong Town?" Nonaka Renta looked at the sky and asked, It's almost three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the winter night is already early, and before Qinglong Town, the troops are going to camp again.

"Four or five miles away, and we'll be there soon!" It was a puppet army who spoke, and Renta Nochu didn't like such people, but after all, he could help the great cause of the empire, so Renta Nochu opened his eyes and closed his eyes.

At this time, a "bang" explosion was suddenly heard.

"What's the sound, what's going on up ahead? Is it a guerrilla force of the Chinese army? When Renta Nochu heard the explosion, he immediately turned over and dismounted and asked.

"Report, it's a mine, someone stepped on a mine in front of me." A soldier on horseback ran over and said.

"Nani? Mines, the Chinese army will only do this, immediately send an engineer team to clear the mines, and the others, be on guard and rest. Renta Nonaka immediately made the right choice. I saw only a dozen sappers carrying minesweepers on their backs, walking to the front and slowly sweeping mines on the ground with minesweepers.

At this time, the unlucky man who stepped on the mine was carried down, and Renta Noaka, in order to show his concern, stepped forward to look, only to see the soldier howling in pain, and when he opened the bed, he saw that both of his legs were already bloody and blurred, and it seemed that he could not be saved. Renta Noaka gasped. I feel silent for this soldier, such a person is a wasted person, even if he saves his life, there will be no good ending when he returns to the country, dragging down the family and causing family misfortune is a portrayal of the rest of his life.

"Captain, my legs, my legs are still alive, right?" The wounded soldier cried and took Renta Nonaka's hand and said.

Renta Noaka was about to comfort the soldier when he suddenly heard several more "bang" explosions. Hurriedly stood up and asked, "What's the matter?" What's going on up front? ”

The squadron leader at the front stammered and said, "Our sappers have stepped on a mine. ”

"Yaga, Yaga." Renta Noaka slapped the squadron leader a few times in a row. He rode to the front, only to see four or five wailing wounded soldiers lying on the ground, and the surrounding Japanese soldiers cowered and did not dare to go up to the rescue.

"Yaga, what are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and save people? Renta Nochu pushed one of the sappers forward. The sapper trembled and held his minesweeper, muttering words in his mouth, and found that there was no response all the way ahead, so he slowly walked forward. Everyone held their breath as they watched him walk up to the wounded soldier step by step, carrying the wounded soldier on his shoulder. Nochu Renta nodded and said, "You see, as long as you are careful, nothing will happen, the troops continue to clear mines, and others are on alert." ”

Just as the other sappers continued to pick up the demining machine and didn't go ten meters forward, there was another explosion, and a thigh flew into the air, until it flew in front of Renta Nonaka, so frightened that Renta almost fell down.

"Yaga, what's the matter with you? Don't you want to be careful? Renta Nochu hurriedly shouted.

"Your Excellency Captain, the situation is not right, our minesweeper doesn't seem to respond to this mine, it's been so long, we haven't found a single mine, we only know when we step on it." The leader of the engineer squad said anxiously.

"Nani, are you saying that the Empire's minesweepers can't find the mines in China yet?" Ren Nonaka said in disbelief.

The leader of the sapper squad nodded, and one of the sappers shouted, "I found out." ”

Renta Nochu nodded and said, "Where is it, I said, how could you not find it?" ”

The sapper said with a crying voice, "At my feet, I feel like I'm stepping on something." ”

Renta Nonaka looked at the squad leader, and with a wave of his hand, the squad leader stepped forward helplessly, slowly brushing away the dirt around the soldier, only to see a small green box, which looked less than the size of a palm.

"It's a model I've never seen before!" The squad leader shouted loudly. At this time, the soldier didn't know whether he was scared or weak, his feet moved slightly, only to see the green locket jump violently, and then exploded, countless steel balls flew in all directions, with huge inertia of steel balls flying around happily, and smashed everything in the way, whether you were bones or flesh.

Nochu Rentai was stunned and looked at the two lying in a pool of blood, and no longer dared to call someone to come forward, but quickly reported to the wing leader.

When the wing commander learned that it was only a few small mines and forced his troops to stop on the road, he immediately doubted Nonaka Renta's ability, but he didn't bother to scold him when he saw that it was getting late, but organized the entire company of sappers to go forward to clear the mines, and let the cavalry find another way.

On the other side of the hill outside Qinglong Town, Lin Sanhu looked at the map on the wall, and a communication soldier riding a fast horse quickly dismounted, came to Lin Sanhu and said, "Report to the division commander, the Japanese army was blocked by a mine and is located about three kilometers outside Qinglong Town. Our scouts saw that the Japanese sappers had no way to deal with this mine, and they went up and died one by one, and now the Japanese did not dare to move at all. ”

"Well, this gadget is really that useful." Nie Rongzhen exclaimed as he played with the anti-infantry mine in his hand.

Lin Sanhu smiled slightly and said, "Don't underestimate the devil, although this mine can't be found by the devil's sappers, but the devil still has a tank, and the steel balls in our mine can't deal with their tank." ”

Nie Rongzhen said disappreciatively, "Isn't there a big one, if the small one doesn't work, the big one will go to the big one, I don't believe it, and this big one can't deal with it." As he spoke, he pointed to a large pancake-like mine in the corner.

Lin Sanhu asked, "Has the artillery team directly under the headquarters arrived at the designated position?" ”

The staff officer next to him immediately stood up and replied, "Report, I have arrived at Caijiagang." It is possible to cover the entire preset battlefield. ”

Lin Sanhu nodded and said, "Now it depends on how many of our friends can come?" ”

Nie Rongzhen asked rhetorically, "How much do you want to come?" ”

Lin Sanhu took out a handful of soybeans and put them in his teacup, sat down slowly and said, "Han Xin ordered soldiers, the more the merrier!" ”

After paying for dozens of lives, the Japanese army outside Qinglong Town finally gave up the method of clearing mines with sappers, and the cavalry who went out were also blown up by the mines planted outside. There's no way to go. I only saw a few Japanese Type 89 tanks lined up in a row, slowly driving forward along the road, and the infantry was walking behind them.

Masaki Honda, who had already come to the front, watched the tank slowly move forward, nodded and said, "Very good." You see, if you want to move your head more, it's just a small box, how many explosives can it contain? With the chariot of our Great Japanese Empire, everything was solved. ”

Sure enough, under the weight of the tank, those anti-infantry mines exploded one after another, but those steel balls did not pose any threat to the Japanese Type 89 tank, and everyone laughed happily. There were also Japanese soldiers learning the sound of explosions, which made everyone laugh.

Suddenly, a huge explosion came, and everyone hurriedly looked. I only saw that an 89 tank that was still majestic just now had been blown up with a puff of smoke, and the track was blown up and flew out, and the tank crew desperately climbed out, for fear that it would explode like this. Luckily, the smoke was half-loud and nothing happened.

"Yaga!! My chariot! "Honda Masasai saw that his beloved chariot was destroyed like this, and he was angry and wanted to find a few people to cut off his head to vent his anger, and now he is embarrassed. On the infantry, there were heavy casualties, and on the tank, it was really a little reluctant.

Honda Masako weighed it for a long time and there was no way, at this time, the puppet army who had just talked to Renta Nonaka stepped forward and said, "Taijun, don't worry, this Chinese army is cunning and cunning, but I have a way." ”

Honda Masasai glanced at him and said, "What's your name?" If you have a way, I will reward you greatly. ”

The traitor hurriedly nodded and said, "Ahh ”

Honda Masasai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Yours, great good people, I will reward you heavily, okay, come on, go to the stone mill immediately, and then do it according to this person called gold, immediately!" ”

A team of Japanese soldiers found the nearby village chief, only to see that the village was already quiet, long since there was no people, the Japanese army walked into the entrance of the village, did not walk a few steps, walking in front of the Japanese army feet suddenly exploded, frightened the Japanese soldiers behind hurriedly lay down, looking for the enemy everywhere, found that the feet of the Japanese soldiers in front of them had been blown off, lying on the ground wailing, then I knew that it was a mine again.

"Yaga!! Why are there landmines everywhere, and how many are there left? "Several Japanese soldiers were dizzy and dizzy, but the sapper's minesweeper was dead and could not find the mine, so he could only keep cursing the Chinese army, and occasionally scolding that he didn't know how much money was spent to buy the relationship and provide it to the supplier of inferior minesweepers.

At the cost of hundreds of legs, the Japanese army found enough stone mills, installed them, and began to advance again, but the sky was already getting dark.

The troops behind have already arrived here, thousands of Japanese troops are in the dark, looking at the faint shadow of the town wall, the Japanese army is angry and anxious, and has to wait for the tanks in front to finish minesweeping.

In fact, it only takes ten minutes to drive the Japanese army's chariots, but the explosion along the way took almost three hours, and the stone mill for rolling the road cost thirty or forty yuan, which is also in the north, the locals eat noodles, and almost every household has a stone mill, so this can collect so much.

When Honda Masasai saw Qinglong Town, tears were about to come out of his eyes, it was not easy, who put this damn mine, his own army now has more than 200 wounded soldiers with broken legs, such casualties, it is difficult to fight with a regiment of the Chinese army in peacetime. Someone immediately sent someone to investigate, but was told that there was no one in the empty space.

The Japanese entered the city with torches, and found that the city was indeed empty, and Honda Masato sat in the town government, waiting for dinner, when a staff officer came in and said, "Report, the whole city has been searched, there is no one, and it seems that it should have been gone for a short time, but there are still a lot of mines planted outside the city, and our sentries have been killed." There are still a lot of supplies that have not been removed. ”

"Oh? Got supplies? What is it? Honda asked with interest.

"It's a lot of roughage, all some straw and grain grass, and a lot of open-air coal was found in a few warehouses at the city gate, which should be used for the arsenal not far away." The staff officer said.

"Straw? Why is there so much straw, logically speaking, there will not be so much straw in a town, have you searched for it, is there anything pressed under those straws? Honda asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, we found the documents abandoned by the Chinese army, this was originally the station of two cavalry divisions, so there is so much forage, this is an abandoned document. It was found in a mess of grass. As he spoke, he handed over a dirty paper.

Honda Masasai frowned and looked at it, nodded and said, "Well, it seems that the people of China are using cavalry as a force to break off, and they think we can't catch up, do you?" Hmph, I want to see, when they get to Taiyuan, how do they run? Now there is only one day away from Taiyuan, let the soldiers have a good rest, and when the time comes, take Taiyuan in one go! ”

At this time, the cooking squad came up with a hot meal, and Honda Masako looked at the meal and nodded, saying, "Okay, remember that the sentry is sufficient, it must be a strong army that can arrange such mines, maybe there are their guerrillas nearby." Don't give them a chance. How did the troops rest? ”

The staff officer said, "Of our more than 5,700 people, more than 4,000 are stationed in the city, and 1,000 are stationed outside the city by the wall, so as to echo each other. ”

Honda Masako waved his hand reassuringly and let the staff officer out. After eating, I slept peacefully.

When the Japanese army was asleep, countless eyes were staring at this Qinglong Town. (To be continued......)
