"Platoon Commander Tang, I asked you to prepare the first big gift for the devil!" Li Wen asked, staring at the devil on the road.

Tang Guangxin replied immediately, with a glint in his eyes, looking like he was waiting to see a good show!

"A set of chain mines, a total of five mines, and they are all added, enough for the little devil cavalry to drink a pot!"

After hesitating for a moment, he asked rhetorically, "Captain Li, in fact, the best way to deal with the cavalry is to concentrate all the light and heavy machine guns for strafing. Although we don't have many troops, we are equipped with a full (6) light machine guns and a dozen submachine guns, as long as the terrain is suitable, we can concentrate our firepower to kill dozens of cavalry who are fighting the vanguard! ”

Li Wen shook his head and replied: "These cavalry are different! ”

"They are all field troops who have just retired from the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to the garrison units we have encountered before. If you attack rashly, you will suffer a big loss. The reason why I use mines is that I want to test the water, judge their combat effectiveness through the reaction ability of the devil cavalry, and then determine how to fight! ”

The forward cavalry was very fast, and it took less than five minutes to reach the minefield prepared for them by the reconnaissance platoon.

Tang Guangxin and Li Wen raised their binoculars at the same time and kept their eyes on the highway, striving not to miss a single detail.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Soon, the sound of explosions was heard.

Five clouds of black smoke rose in the middle of the ranks of devil cavalry lined up in two columns.

The stones that covered the mine, covered with dirt, were blown up into dust in an instant.

The three devil cavalry were blown up on the spot, and they fell to the ground with their men and horses.

Many injured horses subconsciously scattered around, wanting to leave the road. However, it only took a few seconds for the devil cavalry to pacify them.

As for the cavalry that was not attacked, the reaction was faster!

He easily held the rifle on his back in his hand, and then controlled the war horse with his feet, and scattered it to both sides of the road, in a vigilant posture.

There were also more than a dozen devil cavalrymen who jumped off their horses directly, set up the light machine guns and grenadiers on their backs, and prepared to shoot.

Li Wen raised the binoculars, and although the person did not move, his face slowly became solemn: "The combat effectiveness of these devil cavalry is at least twice that of what we used to encounter. ”

"If there is no absolute superiority in strength and firepower to ambush them, the first round of firepower will kill more than half of their men. Then their counterattack will definitely be very violent. I can see that they are not pure cavalry at all, but elite soldiers who can be cavalry on horseback and infantry when dismounted! ”

If the opponent is a pure infantry, Tang Guangxin is confident that he will instantly kill more than half of the opponent with the firepower in his hand.

However, they were cavalry, cavalry that was more difficult to fight than infantry. Unless he doubles the strength and firepower, Tang Guangxin will definitely not have the confidence to kill more than half of the devil's cavalry in the first round of firepower.

Since it can't be done, it is impossible to realize the idea of concentrating the existing firepower to kill the poisoning of the devil's forward cavalry.

Just after Tang Guangxin's face became more and more unsightly, and even showed an expression full of disappointment and gloom, Li Wen changed his words and said next.

"There is a way to fight the garrison troops, and there is a way to fight the elite. Platoon Commander Tang, don't be discouraged, we have a way to deal with them, but it's a little more troublesome than fighting devils before! ”

The confidence regained on Li Wen's face made Tang Guangxin's face look a lot better, and then he stared at Li Wen and waited for the next step.

Major General Kawaguchi, the commander of the Devil Brigade, was also blown up by the sudden explosion.

The casualties of three cavalrymen, although small, were even negligible for a brigade commander.

However, this place was too close to his original station, and he was attacked less than two kilometers after leaving the barracks, which made Major General Kawaguchi involuntarily have a very bad premonition in his mind.

"General, the cavalry reports, there does not seem to be an enemy around us, do the troops continue to advance!" Adjutant Ikeda didn't know what Kawaguchi was thinking, and as soon as he got the news from the cavalry brigade, he ran over to report it.

Major General Kawaguchi did not answer, but analyzed with a calm face: "Our opponent is not simple, we didn't even see the shadow of the other party, and the other party killed our three elite cavalry." On the frontal battlefield, if we lose three cavalry, we can kill at least one platoon of the Chinese army! ”

"Also, this is not the base of the Eighth Route Army, and there are at most some guerrillas infiltrated by the Jin Sui Army in peacetime, so it is impossible to have such a high level of combat. Therefore, I am at least eighty percent sure that the enemy who attacked us must be from Linfen! ”

"In order to slow down our march and delay our attack on Xiangfen County, a small force was sent to attack us. This is their usual guerrilla tactic! ”

"Now that they're here, the next sneak attacks will definitely be endless!"

Ikeda immediately asked, "General, are you saying that there will be mines on the road ahead!" ”

"Then I will immediately dispatch the engineer squadron to the front to clear mines to ensure the safety of the main march!"

Major General Kawaguchi shook his head and replied: "It's too slow, if we clear the mines to Linfen little by little, we won't be able to complete the journey of more than a hundred attacks in half a month!" ”

After saying that, Major General Kawaguchi raised his binoculars and looked around.

Ikeda Shaoza frowned, when he looked puzzled. A sneer, quickly reduced from Major General Kawaguchi in a flash!

"There's a way!" Major General Kawaguchi ordered with a murderous look on his face.

"There is a village two kilometers to the left of the road, the cavalry brigade sent a squadron over, swept the whole village, caught fifty young men in the village, let them walk at the front of the team, and open the way for the imperial army!"

"Tell the cavalry brigade that I only need to be young and strong, not old and weak, women and children!"

In less than an hour, fifty young men were arrested.

Under the orders of Major General Kawaguchi, these fifty young men were strung together by them with ropes and walked in front of the cavalry brigade to mine them.

"The general is wise, in this way, the threat of mines is solved, unless the Eighth Route Army decides to blow up the dozens of people in front of them with mines first. However, in the style of the Eighth Route Army, it will definitely not do this! Ikeda immediately complimented.

Major General Kawaguchi's face was not as good as he expected. For a soldier, it is definitely not a gentleman's act to catch ordinary people to be human shields in front. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, Major General Kawaguchi would never have done this.

frowned, and continued to order: "The troops continue to advance, but they must strengthen their vigilance, no one knows what method the Eighth Route Army will use in the next sneak attack!" ”

Li Wen and Tang Guangxin, who were two kilometers away, had very heavy faces.

They didn't expect the devil to be so ruthless and shameless, and they used the common people as a shield as soon as they came up.

In this case, if the troops want to continue to sneak attack them, they will face many more limitations.

Li Wen said with a calm face: "If you have a chance, you must kill the commander of the little devil brigade." He is too ruthless, and with him in Linfen for a day, our base area will definitely suffer huge losses and casualties. We must report this to the regiment headquarters as soon as possible, this old devil will definitely not treat our people as human beings on the battlefield, and will not care about the casualties of our people! ”
