This kind of anti-infantry mine does not kill the enemy with fragments, but uses the high-temperature and high-pressure gases produced after the explosion to kill the enemy, so after the Japanese army stepped on this mine, the number of wounded was far more than the death, and the injured were burned at high temperatures and internal injuries caused by high-pressure gas. This injury caused great pain to the injured person, and it was difficult to resuscitate under the medical conditions at the time.

After the Japanese stepped on the mines, they fell down one by one, and most of the soldiers groaned in pain in the ground. The squadron leader of the Japanese army was also taken aback, but fortunately there was no fire on the position, and the squadron leader immediately asked some of the soldiers to carry the wounded back for treatment, while the rest of the soldiers continued to advance. The Japanese soldiers walked cautiously forward, and after a few steps, another soldier tripped over the pull line, this time an anti-infantry jumping mine buried on the side of the road.

When the thunderbolt jumped to a secondary explosion two meters in the air, 600 small steel balls and fragments carried out an indiscriminate covering attack on the Japanese troops within 14 square meters. At this time, more than 20 Japanese soldiers fell at once, and most of them were killed. Several Japanese soldiers at the center point were almost beaten into a sieve by small steel balls.

Such a lethal mine had never been encountered by these Japanese troops, and the squadron leader of the Japanese army did not dare to move forward anymore, so he hurriedly commanded the troops to retreat. After withdrawing, the squadron leader hurriedly reported to his superiors that the Chinese army had planted a large number of powerful mines in front of the position, and asked his superiors to send engineering units to clear mines first.

The Japanese troops attacking in the middle retreated after stepping on two mines, which made Du Haifeng a little disappointed, and asked the soldiers to withdraw from the anti-artillery hole on the one hand, and reported to the regiment commander Zhang Lingfu on the other. When Du Haifeng reported to Zhang Lingfu, gunshots were heard almost simultaneously from the high places on the left and right. On the left was the 386th Heights defended by the 272nd Brigade, and the first line of positions was defended by the 1st and 2nd Companies of the 1st Battalion of the 546th Regiment.

The first 100 meters of the position have been processed, and the shooting boundary has been cleared, although the slope is not steep, but it is also quite difficult to attack from the back. As soon as an infantry squadron of the Japanese army emerged from the bushes a hundred meters away, a dozen sharpshooters behind the women's wall on the position began to roll out their names with semi-automatic rifles in their hands. The Japanese squadron commander saw that although the defenders were strong in marksmanship, they were not numerous, and thought that the number of defenders on the position was limited, so he ordered the soldiers to attack forward under the cover of light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers.

The bullets from the Japanese light and heavy machine guns hit the women's wall, splashing sparks, and although the grenadiers could not hurt anyone, the smoke of gunpowder also blocked the view of the defenders. Just when the Japanese troops rushed upwards for more than 20 meters, two heavy machine guns and four light machine guns on the position used crossfire to turn the Japanese soldiers who rushed up on their backs, and coupled with the accurate shooting of semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns, the Japanese troops were suppressed on the hillside and could not take a step forward.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the squadron leader hurriedly used a walkie-talkie to ask for help from the artillery at the foot of the mountain, and after the artillery got the direction of the position, the artillery fired at the position with four 92 infantry guns and eight 90 mortars. Most of these shells exploded outside the women's wall, and the few that hit the women's wall did not cause many casualties to the defenders. The Japanese squadron leader saw that the artillery bombardment did not weaken the firepower of the defenders on the position, so he could only let the soldiers withdraw first.

The attack on the 366 Heights on the right was much the same, except that the Japanese squadron held out a little longer, and after failing to rush forward in the second charge, the squadron, which had lost a third of its soldiers, also withdrew. The three Japanese attacks were only a tentative attack, but the result was that the two captains of the first and second wings were very dissatisfied.

The purpose of the tentative attack was to find out what the opponent was doing, but in the middle of the attack, the opponent's position did not fire a single shot, and he was killed or wounded dozens of soldiers who stepped on a mine and retreated. The attacks on the left and right flanks also did not find out the number of people and firepower on the defenders' positions, and only one general firepower was fierce and could not charge. Such a tentative offensive does not make any sense at all.

The commanders of the two wings discussed together, and believed that the attack on the two peaks on the left and right should be mainly contained, and only required that these two positions could not support the middle position, and that the middle position should be broken through in a focused way, and that the input of troops should be increased. But before you attack, you still have to get the sappers up to clear those pesky mines.

After deliberation, the commander of the second wing, Sakuraba Shiro Osa, gave the order to suspend the attack on the left and right sides. The wing commander of the 1st Wing, Yago Sun Erdazuo, urgently mobilized an engineering squadron from Taoling Town to clear mines. After the engineer squadron ran to the front line, Yago Sun Erdazuo first sent an engineer squad to go up to clear the mines under the cover of the infantry squadron that had just attacked.

As soon as the Japanese engineer squad went up, the observation post on the position was discovered, and they hurriedly reported to the regiment commander Zhang Lingfu. Du Haifeng, the commander of the first battalion beside Zhang Lingfu, asked: "Tuanzao, do you want to send some sharpshooters up to name the little Japanese engineers?" Zhang Lingfu knew that these mines could not be detected by the little Japanese sappers at all, and he wanted to go with the little Japanese to detect mines, but then he thought about it, how could the little Japanese sappers be allowed to carry out mine detection so easily? So he agreed with Du Haifeng's opinion, and at the same time advised: "Let the soldiers who go up pay attention to safety and be careful of the little Japanese artillery fire to retaliate." ”

Du Haifeng responded excitedly: "Tuanza, don't worry, how can these marksmen be so easily bombed by the artillery fire of Little Japan? After a while, the characteristic sound of Mauser sniper rifles on the battlefield came in, and it seemed that these magic machine men had already struck.

The 90th Division was the only unit that could equip company-level sharpshooters with Mauser sniper rifles with scopes, thanks to Wang Haitao's continuous acquisition of scopes and a large number of Mauser K98 rifles from Germany. This allowed the 90th Division to have hundreds of Mauser sniper rifles. The number of SVD semi-automatic sniper rifles imitated by the Longzhou Arsenal is not large, and the performance is not as good as the original, and it is also said that in the past, these sniper rifles were allocated to the army reconnaissance regiment and the guard regiment for use, and other troops did not have them.

With the care of the sharpshooters, the Japanese sapper squad was unlucky, the mine detector itself could not detect the mine, but was killed and injured several people because of stepping on the mine, coupled with the constant sniping of the sharpshooter, the engineer squad lost half of the people after advancing less than 50 meters, and the other half did not dare to move forward, so they were busy withdrawing with the infantry squadron that was covering.

When the wing commander of the 1st Wing, Yago Sun Erdazuo, learned that the engineer team that went up not only did not clear the mines, but lost more than half of them due to stepping on the mines and the attacks of the defenders on the position, he was so angry that he yelled a few times "Baga!", but he didn't know what to do next. When Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma learned of this, he went to the front line and observed the defenders' positions in front of him.

On the opposite position, the traces of shelling were clearly visible, and not a single soldier was seen. But Masaharu Honma knew that as soon as the soldiers of the empire started to attack, the soldiers of those branches would come out from all corners. Half a day later, Honma Masaharu said to Yago Sunji: "Yago-kun, go and command the artillery in your wing to carry out a covering artillery bombardment along this road. I think that under intensive artillery fire, any mines will cease to exist. ”

After a while, the artillery of the 1st Wing began to cover the road 200 meters in front of the defenders' positions. This trick was indeed useful, and with the shelling, the mines planted on the road were constantly detonated.

The report of the observation post made the distressed face of the first battalion commander Du Haifeng twitch, and he shouted to Zhang Lingfu: "Tuanzuo, those mines are in vain, you should think of a way!" Zhang Lingfu glared at him, did not speak, grabbed the telescope and drilled out the anti-artillery hole, and Du Haifeng and the guards also drilled out together.

Zhang Lingfu walked into a bunker and looked out through the shooting hole with a telescope. In front of the position, the shelling of Little Japan was still going on, and the artillery fire was getting closer and closer to the position. Although there were a row of shell craters left on the road, the mines planted by the sappers on the road were largely cleared.

Du Haifeng's eyes were on fire, and Zhang Lingfu was also pale, although all the mines were not buried on this road, most of the anti-infantry mines and more than a dozen anti-infantry jumping mines were also buried. These advanced mines were blown up by Little Japan like this, and Zhang Lingfu also sighed in his heart that it was a pity.

This result made Yago Sun Er's face excited, and he said to Honma Masaharu: "Your Excellency the Division Commander is still smart, thanks to His Excellency the Division Commander, this time the warriors of the Empire will not be injured by the mines planted by the Shina people again." Yago Sunji's sycophant made Lieutenant General Honma Masaharu have a little smile on his face. Honma Masaharu said: "Then the next attack will depend on Yago-kun, and I will wait for good news at the headquarters." ”

After speaking, Honma Masaharu left the position under the congratulations of Yago, Sun Er, and others. Yago Sunji and Sakuraba Shiro, the two co-captains, consulted and decided to immediately attack the defenders' positions. So under the command of the two, the artillery began to shell three positions again.

This was already expected by Zhang Lingfu, and Zhang Lingfu, who returned to the anti-artillery hole, immediately said to Du Haifeng: "Haifeng, after this artillery bombardment by little Japan, it will definitely be an infantry attack, you have to calm down, the brigade has an order to put the Japanese army closer before fighting." Our goal is to eliminate as much of Little Japan as possible, and don't fight too hard all at once, don't scare Little Japan back. ”

Du Haifeng replied: "Understand the group, you can see how I clean up Little Japan." As he spoke, the Japanese artillery weakened, and Zhang Lingfu and Du Haifeng knew that the Japanese artillery bombardment was coming to an end, and the infantry was about to attack. Du Haifeng said to Zhang Lingfu: "Tuanzuo, I'll take a company up." Zhang Lingfu nodded and advised: "You kid be careful for me!" Du Haifeng smiled at Zhang Lingfu, and then shouted into the walkie-talkie: "One battalion and one company, all follow me to the battlefield!"
