In Dongshiqiao Village, Qingyuan County, more than 3,000 Japanese puppet troops were advancing in the direction of the Tang River, and there were more than a dozen strange-looking vehicles in the middle of the team. Bang! Militia attacks were carried out from time to time along the route, and a large number of mines were planted along the road. Although the actual casualties were not many, this kind of invisible enemy casualties made the Japanese puppet army very annoyed, and the Japanese commander Aoda Taji was so angry that he flew his command knife and shouted.

"There are those who are exploring the way ahead, hurry! If you don't go, you're dead, you're dead! ”

Under the pressure of the Japanese commander, a small group of puppet soldiers had to search forward with a sad face. One by one, they were afraid of stepping on a mine or being shot by the militia.

"Quick, the devil is here, ready to fight!"

"Hey, it seems to be two devils!"

"them!"

"Hey, hey, hey, all calm down, don't fire without an order!"

The county brigade and a battalion of the main force of the 1st Division, which had come to reinforce them, were setting up ambushes in front. A small group of puppet soldiers held their rifles and probed their heads to touch them. An unlucky man suddenly felt his foot sink down, and as soon as he lifted his foot, he heard a loud bang and lost consciousness in an instant. Several puppet soldiers who were close to each other also followed suit, lying on the ground.

"Ha, battalion commander, the two devils have entered the minefield!"

"Well fried, well fried, so refreshing!"

"Hmph, this is their own death, should!"

"It's a pity that only a few two devils were blown up, if only so many real devils were killed!"

……

"Taijun, work on the mines ahead. I can't go, I beg Taijun to be gracious! ”

Look at the miserable situation of the brothers in front of you. The puppet troops behind did not dare to go any further, and fell to their knees one after another to plead with the Japanese commander Aota Taji. Unexpectedly, the old devil was furious, drew his knife and slashed, and cut down three puppet soldiers in a row. The remaining puppet army had no choice but to continue to advance, only to be killed and injured by a mine. At this time, the puppet army refused to move forward. Some of the bold ones even showed a fierce look on their faces and secretly glanced at the Japanese army.

Qingtian Duoji Shaozo felt that he couldn't go on like this, after all, the battle ahead still needed the cooperation of the puppet army, and it didn't do him any good if he was forced to rebel. There is also the possibility of being reprimanded by superiors. By the way. After Okamura Ninji came to power, his treatment of the puppet army improved a lot. Like some puppet army helping the Japanese army light cigarettes, and there are a lot of photos of making dumplings with Japanese women. But when it comes to fighting, you have to be cannon fodder, even if Okamura knows it, he won't say anything.

"Hey. Squad Nakajima, please come to the front! Aoda Duoji thought for a moment. It was decided to use a new type of equipment.

"Hello!"

Soon. Several oddly shaped tanks drove from the middle of the line to the front. In appearance, it looks a bit like a Type 97 medium tank, but it does not have a main gun or machine gun. Instead, an extension arm was installed directly in front of the combat vehicle. The extension arm contained two axes, and ten hammers on them.

The soldiers have never seen this, they are all dumbfounded.

"Battalion commander, what kind of thing is this!"

The battalion commander glared and said angrily: "You ask me, I ask who to go!" ”

"Do you want to use anti-tank rockets!"

"Hmm!" The battalion commander hesitated, but still shook his head and said, "Wait and see what this thing is for!" ”

Although the anti-tank rocket launcher has been produced, it is expensive to build and the output is also very low. Ordinary troops don't even think about it, so they are very cautious in their use and pay attention to the lethality of one hit.

"Attention, Captain Itada! Your car is about to enter a minefield, please start the minesweeping operation immediately! ”

"Hello!"

Whew...... The strange-looking chariot shook, and the two wheels in front of it spun rapidly. The chain hammer on the wheel was like a whip and struck the ground fiercely, and as the wheel turned, the chain hammer pumped faster and faster, and the harder and harder it was drawn, until the sand and stones flew and sparks splashed on the road.

"It's not good, the little devil seems to be demining!"

"Isn't it, battalion commander, what's the use of this thing?"

As he spoke, there was a loud bang ahead.

"Hit a mine, that thing hit a mine!"

"Yes, blow up and paralyze this Iron King!"

"Ah, battalion commander, look, that Iron King is fine!"

"It's really nothing, battalion commander, what can I do?"

Whew...... The chariot continued to move forward, and the two wheels spun at a rapid pace. The hammer on top pumped all the way and detonated the mines one after the other. To the disappointment of the soldiers, although most of the mines exploded, they did not do any damage to the Iron King, at most they blew up one or two chain hammers, but they were quickly repaired by the little devils.

Originally, this kind of tank is called the 97-type chain hammer mine-sweeping combat vehicle, a kind of deformation vehicle of the 97-type medium combat vehicle, which is a mine-sweeping combat vehicle used for mine-sweeping operations.

Seeing that the minefield was swept away by this guy, the battalion commander was so angry that he scolded: "Dog, bazooka preparation, blow up this Iron King Ba for Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yes!"

A soldier quickly jumped out of the trench, holding a long iron cylinder in his arms, and a tumbling easily appeared in the first trench, and then cleanly carried the iron cylinder on his shoulder, his head tilted slightly to the right, his eyes stared at the minesweeping chariot through the scope, holding the bazooka with his right hand, and gently pulling the trigger with his left hand, only to hear a loud bang, and a rocket flew out of the chariot with a whoosh!

Because anti-tank rocket launchers are rare, and the shooters are also carefully selected and strictly trained, so they are so skilled in using them.

Rumble! The bazooka first slammed into the front armor of the combat vehicle, and then made a violent noise. The body of the chariot shook violently, and it was paralyzed with a bang. This kind of bazooka is one of the two weapons with the highest technical content in the Ping'an County Arsenal (the other is a cloud burst shell fired by rocket artillery), which combines the advantages of the German "Iron Fist" individual recoilless gun and the American "Bazooka" rocket launcher, and has the advantages of both range and power, and can completely explode any combat vehicle at that time within 200 meters. As for the thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese army, they could fire at a distance of five hundred meters.

"Oh. Oh my God, the minesweeper has been destroyed! ”

"What kind of weapons does the Shina military have?"

"Damn, is this a new weapon that Lucia sold to China?"

The soldiers of the Japanese puppet army looked at the chariot that had been beaten into scrap metal in amazement, and they couldn't help but scream. The artillery units immediately launched a retaliatory bombardment to the front, but fortunately, the fortifications in Jizhong were all below the ground, and the Japanese could not determine the specific location, so they could only bombard indiscriminately, and almost no results were achieved. This made the Japanese army even more frustrated.

Staff Officer Nojiri said anxiously: "Your Excellency, the Shina Army has extremely powerful anti-tank weapons!" I'm afraid that our minesweepers won't be able to be dispatched, so I suggest taking a break for a while. Wait for the follow-up troops to arrive before attacking. ”

"Nope. Keep attacking and moving forward! Qingtian Duoji waved his hand and said: "Order the captain of the Nakajima squad to transfer another minesweeper to come forward, and send an imperial alliance team to cover the left and right sides of the road." ”

"But?"

"Don't worry about that mysterious weapon, I guess the Chinese army must be limited in number, otherwise it wouldn't have been delayed until this time. Go ahead. Now we have to stand with the time! ”

"Hello!"

Whew...... Another Type 97 hammer minesweeper drove over. The hammer on the wheel pumped fast. Minefields were quickly cleared.

"Alas!" The fighters clenched their fists in frustration. There is only one bazooka, and the range of anti-tank grenades is not enough, not to mention anti-tank grenades. Now one can only watch the little devil's minesweeper vehicles wreak havoc there.

"Taijun is really like a god!" The commander of the puppet army Li saw that there was no movement on the opposite position. Busy stepped forward and slapped Qingtian Duoji on the back.

Qingtian Duoji smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "You have won the prize, Li Sang." The minefield has been cleared, and there must be Lao Lisan's subordinates in the next section, please continue to open the road ahead, there is labor! ”

The head of the puppet army Li was stunned when he heard this, and asked stupidly: "Taijun, isn't there a minesweeper in that one?" Can? ”

"Yaga!" Qingtian Duoji raised his hand and gave Commander Li a slap, and scolded: "You lowly Zhina, the minesweeping chariot is a precious equipment of the empire, can it be consumed at will?" ”

Head Li hurriedly covered his face, nodded and apologized: "Haiyi, Haiyi! What Taijun taught was, what Taijun taught was, the little ones should be damned, the little ones should be damned! As he spoke, he slapped himself a few times, then turned around and scolded his subordinates: "You are all dead people, don't you come forward to open the way for Taijun." ”

A henchman trembled and said, "Big, big brother, can't!" There is a mine buried by Zheng Huzi in front, then, stepping on it, stepping on it is a death! ”

"Yes, big brother, let's ask Taijun to sweep it with the chariot first, you can't watch the brothers go to their deaths!"

Regiment Commander Li looked at his subordinates with gloomy eyes, and said suspiciously: "So, I can't stand the brothers? ”

Seeing that his face was not good, and the Japanese soldiers around him surrounded him viciously, they couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly said: "Go, go, go, let's open the way!" ”

In this way, when encountering sporadic mines, Qingtian Duoer asked the puppet army to go, and when he encountered a minefield, he dispatched mine-clearing vehicles, and soon broke through the mine belt that the Qingyuan County Brigade had laid before.

"What to do, battalion commander?"

"Alas, withdraw!"

"Ah, just withdraw? Battalion commander, let us shoot a few shots before withdrawing! ”

"Leave a few sharpshooters to cover, and the rest go immediately. This little devil is a bit evil, and if he doesn't leave, he will be made dumplings. ”

Sure enough, because the mine array was ineffective, the Japanese puppet army brigade quickly rushed to the river, and divided part of the forces to outflank this side. If they hadn't retreated in time, they would have almost been blocked by the Japanese on the river beach. When the time comes, there is the Tang River in front and the chasing soldiers in the back, which is really a dead end.

After the soldiers withdrew to safety, they glanced back with trepidation, and couldn't help but rejoice: "Battalion commander, fortunately you gave the order early, otherwise this time it would be really troublesome." ”

The battalion commander didn't have any joy on his face, but his face was full of anxiety, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that this little devil is very different from the past." Not only does it have those strange equipment, but it is also tactically much more advanced than before. ”

The instructor hurriedly said, "Do you want to report this situation to your superiors immediately?" ”

The battalion commander nodded and said, "Of course." He also commanded: "Captain Zhang, now that the enemy army has broken through our blockade line, there is no need for us to get together again." It is also easy to expose the target. So I suggest that you withdraw to Qingyuan first, disperse your actions as a team, and try to protect the villagers as much as possible. ”

Captain Zhang of the Qingyuan County Brigade nodded, and said busily: "I listen to Battalion Commander Huang." Then, Battalion Commander Huang, what will you do as soon as we withdraw? ”

Battalion Commander Huang thought for a moment and said, "This evil spirit of the devil, I want to stay here and observe again, and deal with any unexpected situations in time." ”

The battalion instructor also nodded and said, "The battalion commander is right! We can't just go back. Much more observant. It's also good to probe the devil's bottom line, so as not to suffer losses for the main force. ”

Camp Commander Huang grinned and said, "That's what I meant. Also, we are not very familiar with this area. I also asked Captain Zhang to help keep a few people as guides. ”

Captain Zhang hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Cheng." It's up to us. ”

The county brigade just left. The fighters in charge of the guard hurriedly arrived and reported: "Battalion commander, instructor. The little devil is out of the demon moth again! ”

The battalion commander said angrily: "Hey, you stinky boy, you can't explain it clearly!" ”

The instructor also knocked on a sentence and said, "Li Erhei, didn't you study in the crash course of scouts in the military region?" How can it be so irregularized when reporting the situation! ”

Li Erhei smiled awkwardly and said hurriedly: "Isn't this anxious? Please rest assured that the battalion commander and instructor will definitely change, and I will definitely change! ”

The battalion commander waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's continue to report!" What's going on? ”

Li Erhei hurriedly said: "Aren't the bridges on the Tang River all picked up by us?" ”

Everyone nodded and said, "Yes, is the little devil blocked by the river now?" ”

"Alas!" Li Erhei slapped his thigh and said, "Plug a fart!" The little devil drove out a strange-looking car, two big pincers, like shrimp, and built the bridge at once, and the enemy's large army was rushing to the east of the river...... Alas, battalion commander, wait for me to finish speaking! Wait for me......"

When Battalion Commander Huang heard that the Japanese army had crossed the river, he suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly took a few guards to venture close to observe. Sure enough, as Li Erhei said, this is another new type of combat vehicle. The chassis is still a Type 97 medium tank, but it is equipped with a movable bridge on top. When the tank reaches the river, the hydraulics attached to the top of the tank move the bridge over the river. Don't look at it as a moving bridge, but this thing is very stable, and even a tank weighing more than a dozen tons can drive through it.

"!" Everyone watched helplessly as the Japanese army calmly crossed the Tang River, and they couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

The instructor ran over panting and puffing, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, report to the head of the sub-district!" ”

Everyone woke up from a dream and hurried to the radio station. The battalion commander glanced at the enemy troops who were busy by the river angrily, and waved a few sharpshooters to find some excitement for the little devils and the second devils.

"Don't let them get too slow, Zhilu Dao?"

"Zhilu said, battalion commander!"

"Well, be careful, go ahead!"

……

"Taijun, someone is shooting black guns at us!"

Qingtian Duoji glanced over there and said angrily: "Li Sang, take your people and wipe out all those hairy monkeys who shoot black guns!" ”

Head Li hurriedly cried and said with a sad face: "Taijun, the hairy monkey is too cunning, I'm afraid that we will run away long ago!" ”

Qingtian Duoji was about to get angry, and the staff officer hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Excellency, the Chinese army is deliberately distracting us. Our task is to quickly break through the Don line of defense and not be attracted by small groups of enemies. ”

"Yes, Yo Si!" Qingtian Duoji calmed down a little and ordered: "Sodos, send a detachment of soldiers with good marksmanship to shoot at the hairy monkey, and the rest of the troops quickly cross the river." ”

"Hello!"

Not long after the Japanese army crossed the Tang River, a Japanese scout hurriedly arrived and reported: "Your Excellency, we have found a telephone pole used by the Chinese army, and the telephone line on it is still intact, and it is suspected that it can be used normally!" ”

This telephone line was supposed to be destroyed, but because the Japanese army was advancing too fast, the local troops did not have time to move.

Qingtian Duoer was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Yo Xi, quickly send a soldier who understands the Chinese dialect to listen!" ”

"Hello!"

"Wait, Your Excellency!" Staff Officer Nojiri hurriedly stopped and said, "Your Excellency, we lack professional surveillance personnel and intelligence personnel, and the time is too short, I am afraid it will be difficult to obtain effective information. ”

Aoda Taji snorted, squinted his eyes and said, "Nojiri-kun, what do you mean?" ”

Staff Officer Nojiri pointed behind him mysteriously, and encouraged: "Your Excellency, don't we still have new weapons, you might as well give it a try!" ”

Qingtian Duoji thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, then it's up to you!" Go, order the high-voltage team to immediately step forward and carry out the discharge operation! ”

"Hello!"

Soon, two more tanks drove over. Unlike the previous minesweepers and bridge-building vehicles, this tank is very similar to the Type 97 medium tank in appearance, but the internal structure and components are very different.

This is a kind of high-voltage current launch combat vehicle, a special engineering combat vehicle used to destroy the enemy's wired and wireless communication lines, which can radiate 10,000 volts of high-voltage current to the enemy's communication lines found, destroy the communication equipment and kill the personnel who are operating the communication equipment, the combat vehicle carries a high-voltage device, and the artillery on the turret is not a real artillery but an antenna.

"The telephone line of the Chinese army has been found ahead, please immediately carry out the discharge operation!"

"Hello!"

Anping, Divisional Command of the First Army. Commander Lu Zhengcao walked around the war room, urging from time to time: "Have you contacted the headquarters?" ”

"Got in touch, Commander. It was the commander-in-chief who called in person! A telephone soldier was sweating profusely and hurriedly handed over the microphone.

Commander Lu was about to reach out to pick it up, when Chief of Staff Wang Shuzhang hurriedly barged in and shouted, "Commander, sign it for me." ”

"Oops, you wait a minute!" Commander Lu said impatiently: "Don't you see that I'm busy? ”

Chief of Staff Wang Shuzhang was an impatient man, and his temper was stubborn, so he grabbed Commander Lu and said, "Oh, I know you're busy!" Am I busy here, too? If you sign it for me, it's over! ”

Commander Lu struggled a few times and didn't break free, so he had to pick up the document helplessly and asked, "What document, where to sign it?" ”

Chief of Staff Wang explained: "It's a mobilization order! News came from the front that the little devil had broken through the Tang River, and the rear must act immediately, otherwise he would have to be caught off guard by the little devil. ”

Hearing that it was a mobilization order, Commander Lu's face immediately became solemn, and he hurriedly took it and looked at it hastily, hurriedly wrote his name, and then reached out to answer the phone.

On the other side, Zheng Weiguo picked up the phone and waited for a long time, but he didn't hear Commander Lu answer, so he casually put the phone on the table. Chief of Staff Zhou said curiously: "What's the matter?" Didn't answer? ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, maybe I'm busy!" He turned to Professor Yang and explained, "Professor Yang, the momentum of the little devils is very strong now, and it is probably impossible to drive them out of the city in a short time. And according to the plan, our large forces will be transferred after a period of resistance. ”

Professor Yang said anxiously, "This is not good! Commander, what are we creating a base for? Isn't it just to protect the villagers from being ravaged by devils? If the large army is transferred, the troops are saved, what should the villagers do? Throw it all to the devil? ”

Zheng Weiguo patiently explained: "The retreat is only temporary. As soon as the Pacific War starts, we will fight back......"

Professor Yang was about to argue when suddenly, the phone line buzzed like a wasp. The people gathered in front of the telephone didn't understand what was going on, but they felt that it was dark in front of them, and a strong force pushed it over, and then they scattered and fell to the ground......

"Headquarters!" Standing outside the door, Zhu and Li Fugui and the others heard a noise in the room and hurriedly rushed in. The pillar helped Zheng Weiguo up and asked in panic: "General seat, what's wrong with you?" Total seat! ”

Zheng Weiguo felt dizzy, with a huge pain all over his body, gritted his teeth and said: "It seems to be a high-voltage arc, quickly, let everyone hurry up and stay away from the phone line, it is best to cut the phone line and notify the ......" Before the words were finished, it was dark in front of him and he fainted.

"Total, total!"

…… (To be continued......)
