Chapter 439: Blowing up supplies

Generally speaking, the combat units at the level of each wing and brigade will hand over the ammunition, food and other materials needed for the operation to the transport units under their respective jurisdiction when performing combat missions alone.

Of course, the Japanese soldiers themselves had to carry at least ammunition, which could theoretically last for a week's combat consumption, and of course the intensity and frequency of the battles also determined the rate of ammunition consumption.

In the unified joint operations of divisions and regiments, in addition to the baggage transport teams owned by each brigade and regiment and the wing, the most important thing is the baggage brigade directly under the division and regiment, which is generally composed of a truck transport brigade and a mule and horse transport brigade, and the truck brigade has two or three squadrons under its jurisdiction.

Each squadron theoretically has about fifty vehicles1. 5-ton military trucks, but in reality, many divisions and regiments of the Japanese army are short of trucks, and some even don't have them at all.

However, the 5th Division, one of the seven veteran elite divisions of the Japanese army, still had a great advantage over other wings in terms of the number of trucks.

The transport wing was equipped with 120 military trucks and hundreds of mules and horses, and the area occupied by the camp was 1.5 kilometres in circumference.

Due to the destruction of the 21st Brigade and the peculiarities of this battle, the tank and combat vehicle squadrons, cavalry wings, artillery wings, and engineer wings directly under the 9th brigade and division all merged to fight.

In order to facilitate unified deployment, Takagi Tanji handed over the supplies and ammunition of each unit to the transport wing for safekeeping, and of course, the ammunition carried by each unit could last for several days of fighting.

The transport wing of the devil was probably the most idle of the Japanese troops, hardly any combat missions, and was more comfortable than the engineer wing.

In fact, since ancient times, the logistics units and departments in the army have been the most comfortable, and there is no need to go to the front line to fight and shed blood and sacrifice unless it is in case.

Such a logistics force, coupled with the current situation and a great victory for their own side, is in a good shape, and the area where they are located is surrounded and protected by the combat troops of the imperial army on all sides, where will there be any vigilance.

There are military tents full of devils, and they are crowded with sleeping devil transports. If it weren't for the fact that this operation was mainly based on destroying and destroying the Japanese army's combat materials, Qiao Youhua really wanted to take his comrades to kill them, and it was estimated that with their skills, they would kill all of the nearly 1,000 devil transporters in their sleep, and there would be no risk.

After the four of them entered the devil's camp, Jiang Haidong, who was armed with a sniper rifle, was in charge of guarding, and Qiao Youhua and the three quickly dispersed to reconnoiter the materials piled up around the devil's military truck and mules and horses.

Soon, the three of them went and returned, and they were together again.

Wu Ming was the first to speak: "The devil's trucks and mules and horses are parked very closely, and the piles of things covered by canvas are all food and ammunition. ”

Ma Biao also added: "The compartment of each truck is full, and it looks absolutely overloaded, and most of it is food and ammunition. ”

Qiao Youhua nodded and said: "The situation I have detected is similar, now I will place the explosive bag and strive to destroy all the devil's materials in one fell swoop!" Not a grain of grain and not a single bullet are left for the little devils! ”

Jiang Haidong said: "Put the explosives package on the pile of materials in front, and hand it over to me later, and make sure that all of them will be detonated by the devil." ”

Qiao Youhua nodded, and Ma Biao and Wu Ming immediately ran to the two Japanese material hoarding points not far away with the explosives bags, put the explosives bags on them, and turned back.

The four of them quietly retreated outward, and after exiting the devil's camp for about fifty meters, Jiang Haidong lay on his stomach in a bush, raised his Type 88 sniper rifle, opened the optical scope on it, and locked one of the explosive packs with his heart, and then pulled the trigger.

His Type 88 sniper rifle was equipped with a silencer, so a weak and inaudible shot was fired at a time.5 The 88mm bullet whizzed out and hit the bag with precision.

When it was detonated, the explosives package exploded violently, and the scarlet flames rose up, enveloping the entire pile of materials, and some of the ammunition inside was also ignited and detonated, and the booming explosions rang out one after another.

Jiang Haidong was not affected in the slightest, and turned to aim at the devil trucks full of ammunition and food, and fired one after another, and soon two trucks loaded with ammunition were hit and exploded.

The violent explosion soon spread to other vehicles, and the entire Japanese baggage camp was quickly covered in flames and thick smoke, and there were violent explosions one after another everywhere, and some of the devils' military tents were set on fire, and some of the devils were burned alive before they had time to escape.

In this era, in this battlefield environment, the devil's baggage wing is not equipped with any fire extinguishing equipment, let alone any rescue measures, in the case of such a violent explosion spreading, the devils who woke up from their sleep fell into chaos, trampling on each other, and scrambling for their lives.

Therefore, the devil's baggage wing, the 5th Division's large number of valuable military supplies transported by thousands of miles of hard work, were completely destroyed by Qiao Youhua and their soldiers.

The king of soldiers will make a move, and it must be extraordinary.

After Qiao Youhua and the others succeeded in one blow, they did not return to retreat the same way, but took advantage of the gap when the Japanese baggage wing was in chaos and the other surrounding reinforcements had not yet arrived, and went straight through the wilderness west of the devil's baggage wing.

The purpose of their trip was far from being achieved, and Qiao Youhua had to take another risk to get greater results.

Not far from the General Headquarters of the Japanese Army, the second-class devil officer of Takagi Duan, who was not far from the baggage wing, had already woken up and looked at the direction of the baggage wing with the flames and explosions.

Takagi Tanji said in shock and horror: "Yaga, what's going on?" ”

"General, it seems that something happened to the camp of the baggage wing." A devil officer said.

"Send the garrison immediately to see what is going on." Takaki Tanji roared angrily.

"However, the garrison is responsible for the security of the headquarters!" Another devil officer in charge of the guard hesitated.

"Bastard, the baggage wing is more important than the command! Send reinforcements immediately, and I will assign forward troops to take charge of the security of the headquarters! Do not worry! Takagi Tanji roared angrily.

"Hay!" The devil officer naturally didn't dare to disobey, so he bowed his head sharply and turned around to take the order.

Soon, about 200 devil elite soldiers quickly dispatched and rushed to the camp of the baggage wing that was on fire.

There was only less than one squad of guards left around Takagi Duanji and the others, not Takagi Duanji's carelessness, about 500 meters next to his headquarters, was the brigade headquarters of the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division, where was still stationed a garrison squadron of Major General Aoki, and within three kilometers in front of the headquarters, there were thousands of troops of the division and regiment stationed.

At most, a few minutes can be dispatched to take over the security work of the headquarters, but for Qiao Youhua and their team, a few minutes is enough.
