Time passed bit by bit, and the scouts kept reporting the advance of the Japanese army, and the target was getting closer and closer.

Two kilometers ...

One kilometer

Less than a mile away......

Soon, Mitsui and his team appeared a few hundred meters away from the rolling thunder ambush point set by the monk.

"Platoon commander, the devil is less than four hundred meters away."

The platoon commander in charge of the ambush command of the rolling thunder team calmed down and ordered in a low voice: "Prepare for battle, pass the order, hide everything, and wait until the devil's truck passes through the area where we expect the rolling thunder to fall before starting." ”

"Yes!"

……

On the mountain road, looking at the lofty mountains on both sides of the mountain road, Mitsui Zhixiong frowned, this mountain road stretches for several kilometers, if there are ambushes of the Eighth Route Army on both sides, it is difficult to detect, even if he sends the vanguard and scouts in advance, he may not be able to find out the lurking enemy.

Fortunately, in this artillery transportation, his Mitsui squadron was just a cover, which Mitsui eloquently admired the wisdom of the brigade commander very much, and deliberately set this strategy to raise the fire cannon to be attacked by the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the way.

"Order, the Imperial Allied Army is at the forefront, followed by the truck squad, and the main force of the squadron is placed at the rear."

Mitsui still had the idea before, even if it was used as bait, he didn't want to be eaten by the Eighth Route Army in vain. If there were ambush troops of the Eighth Route Army on both sides of this mountain road, they would definitely attack the trucks.

In this case, it is better to put the truck in the front row of the team to attract the ambush fire of the Eighth Route Army, and also to buy time for the main force of the squadron to counterattack.

"The vanguard and scouts spread out reconnaissance to make sure that there are no enemies lurking in the mountains and forests on both sides."

After Mitsui gave the order, the devil's scouts entered the mountains and forests on both sides to investigate.

A platoon leader led a rolling thunder team of 25 people, hiding in the deep part of the mountain forest, lurking with the help of the surrounding leafy trees.

When the devil's scouts passed through the mecca before, they were wiped out by Sun Qingshan, the leader of the third platoon, and the number of people at the moment was not large, and it was not easy to find the soldiers in such a wide wood.

"Wait until the devil's scouts pass, and then take a fancy to the devil's truck."

A long line crawling under a bush somewhere whispered.

The twenty-five fighters of the Rolling Thunder Team were each ready, each with two Rolling Thunders in their hands, and waited fixedly.

The devil scout searched around in the mountains and forests, and after noticing anything unusual, he continued to search forward, and Mitsui led the troops to follow up.

The roar of trucks came from the mountain road, and a long line could faintly see the trucks moving forward through the sparse trees in the area.

"Ready—"

A platoon leader stretched out his right hand, the soldiers entered the state of imminent battle, twenty-five members will prepare a rolling thunder first placed, holding another rolling thunder, holding it with the left hand, and touching the lead above the rolling thunder with the right hand, and wait until the order of the platoon leader is issued, only need to tear off the lead, and then hold the rolling thunder with both hands to confirm the direction of falling, that is, you can launch an attack.

Hit –

This word was already brewing in the throat of a long platoon, and when it was about to burst out, a voice came from not far away, "Platoon leader, Jiang Huaimin is back." ”

The long platoon heard the prestige, and it was really Jiang Huaimin.

Still some distance away, Jiang Huaimin kept shaking his hands and shaking his head towards the long row.

The implication is obvious: to suspend offensive operations for a platoon leader.

The platoon commander knew that Jiang Huaimin was left by the third platoon commander to continue the investigation in the sandwich area, and he returned in a hurry at this moment, with exhaustion and urgency on his face, and kept shaking his head and shaking his hand.

Speaking of this, the platoon leader shouted in a low voice: "Don't worry, wait first, no one should do anything without my order." ”

After a moment of waiting, Jiang Huaimin arrived and crawled beside a long line.

"What's the situation?" The platoon leader asked with a frown.

Jiang Huaimin took a deep breath, endured the panting of hurrying all the way back, and said: "The platoon is long, you can't fight, this devil is a bait released, fake, there is no artillery in the truck at all." ”

"What, fake?"

"Can't be wrong!" Jiang Huaimin recounted the situation he had detected in the sandwich area, "The devil's real artillery transport team is still following three miles away!" ”

The platoon commander's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Comrades, the situation has changed, suspend the attack, signal troops, and quickly report the situation to the company commander." ”

"Yes!"

After the signal soldier received the order and went around the back of the mountain forest, Sa Yazi ran towards the second ambush site where the monk was.

The devil's movement on the mountain road is not very fast, after all, it still needs to do a rough survey on both sides, which is naturally not as fast as the speed of the communication soldiers.

By the time the Signal Corps soldiers arrived at the second ambush site from the first ambush site, the devil had traveled less than a third of the way.

“…… Company commander, this is the situation, the platoon commander asked me to rush over and inform you, you can quickly get an idea! ”

The monk who learned the situation couldn't help but scold, this little devil is really cunning enough.

If it weren't for Jiang Huaimin's timely transmission of the news, once the Rolling Thunder Group started, the means originally used to deal with the devil's artillery unit would have been exposed in advance, and this ambush battle would definitely have fallen into passivity.

At that time, whether it is a rolling mine team or a long-range detonation of explosive packs, it will all be used on the bait of the devil.

If you want to stop the real artillery troops in the follow-up of the devils, it will be difficult.

While thinking about it, the monk couldn't help but think, if this situation was encountered, how would the head of the regiment deploy?

According to the regiment commander's usual line of thinking, first think about what the enemy's purpose is in doing this, and then consider whether to respond to changes in the situation, make adjustments to the deployment of troops, or make calculations.

Following this line of thought, the monk really quickly had an idea: "In this way, notify the Rolling Thunder team, stop the first ambush plan, move closer to the direction of the second ambush site, and wait until the devil's follow-up troops who really transport artillery arrive."

Our second ambush site also stood still, retreating to the depths of the mountains and forests to avoid exposure.

The district squad and militia comrades immediately went to the third ambush site, waited until the devil bait under the mountain arrived at the minefield area, and launched an attack with the help of the minefield.

The requirement is to convince the devil's decoy troops that the main ambush we ambush in the third location is the main ambush. ”

As long as the battle starts at the third ambush site, most of the devils will think that the Eighth Route Army has been fooled and will use their bait as the main force, and the follow-up troops who really transport artillery will also relax their vigilance and quickly support the third ambush site, which gives the guard company a chance to really ambush the devils.

After the monk's plan was arranged, everything went smoothly.

Mitsui Toshio led his troops as a decoy for the devil artillery unit to go first, and advanced all the way through the rough reconnaissance, and did not encounter any sneak attacks.

When passing by the second ambush site, the monk ordered the burial of the remote explosive pack, the devils would never have dreamed that they stepped over the head of the god of death.

It wasn't until he approached the third ambush site arranged by the monk that when Mitsui eloquently wondered whether the Eighth Route Army had arranged an ambush on the way, the puppet army in the vanguard stepped on the mine unexpectedly.

"Hit-"

The district squad and militia comrades in charge of the third ambush fire, led by fighters of a squad of the guard company, launched a surprise attack on the devils on the mountain road.

Although it is not the main force of the guard company, the combat effectiveness of the district squad and the militia fighters is also not weak, especially in this operation, the independent regiment has strengthened the firepower allocation of the district squad and militia comrades.

It was even equipped with some 50 cannons.

This can make the mouths of the district squad and militia comrades crooked.

In the eyes of the district squad and the militia comrades, this modified cannons (grenadiers) are no less than the heavy artillery in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army.

Since it was Regiment Commander Kong who provided the equipment and ammunition, the fight was over.

After this battle, when I go back, I will have the capital to brag, we have all fought 50 small cannons, and I don't know how many devils can be killed with one shot.

At the beginning of the battle, the comrades of the district squad and the militia greeted them with all kinds of weapons at hand.

Grenades, five-zero small cannons, attack the first and last trucks of the devils first.

After the first truck and the truck at the tail of the devil were blown up first, this mountain road, which was not very wide, could not move the truck caught in it, and the soldiers could slowly clean it up.

More of the offensive focus is on the follow-up devils.

Caught off guard, the devil was stunned for a moment.

Mitsui hurriedly beckoned the troops and launched a counterattack on the spot.

In the rush of response, Mitsui noticed that the troops ambushed on both sides were wearing uniformly colored military boots.

Coupled with the firepower that suddenly erupted in front of him, this is not like the firepower strength that Dirt Eight Road can have.

"Your Excellency the squadron leader is wearing military boots and has a strong firepower configuration, this should be a regular combat unit of the independent regiment!"

The adjutant on the side opened fire on the mountain forest, and at the same time made the same judgment as Mitsui's eloquent heart.

Mitsui nodded eloquently and shouted: "Signal soldier, immediately inform Furukawa Shaozo that our department has successfully lured out the ambush troops of the independent regiment that ambushed, and request the main force to be quickly reinforced." ”

"Hey!"

The communications troops accompanying the Mitsui squadron are equipped with small short-wave radios, which can support short-distance radio communications of one or two kilometers.

This time, the Mitsui squadron, which was used as a decoy, and the artillery unit led by the follow-up devil Hirakawa Shaoza, were connected with each other through this shortwave radio.

The two forces were separated by less than three miles.

The follow-up devil artillery unit advanced under the leadership of the devil Shaosa Furukawa Shoumasa.

Furukawa Shoumasa first heard the sound of gunfire and artillery coming from not far away, and immediately realized that Mitsui's squadron, which was the leading force, had been ambushed.

"Your Excellency, the brigade commander, is right, the Eighth Route Army really set up an ambush on the way."

"If it weren't for the fact that we would have divided the transport force into two parts this time, I am afraid that there would be more than one bad luck at this moment."

As he was talking, the communications corps received a communication message from Mitsui's squadron.

"Report to the chief, news has come from the Mitsui squadron that its unit is being ambushed by the troops of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and it is requesting rapid reinforcements."

Furukawa nodded and said, "Shout, herald the team, hurry forward!" ”

"Hey!"

……

"Company commander, the devil has been fooled, after the battle in the direction of the minefield has started, the artillery unit that the devil will follow up is advancing rapidly."

When the news reached the monk's ears, the monk pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is the Rolling Thunder Team now?" ”

"It's less than three hundred meters away from our second ambush site."

"What is the specific deployment of the Japanese artillery units marching?"

"Eight trucks are driving the way ahead, and the devil troops are following up quickly."

"It seems that this little devil thinks that their decoy tactics have succeeded, and they really attracted our main force to the third ambush site."

The monk analyzed the situation.

"Inform the Rolling Thunder team, the ambush location is set there, immediately clear the obstacles, prepare for the battle, and give the little devil a hammer first."

"Yes!"

……

Around five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day.

The new weapon Rolling Thunder, which was newly developed by the Independent Regiment Repair Institute and put forward by Kong Jie, the commander of the Independent Regiment, made its debut on the battlefield against Japan in the northwest of Shanxi Province.

When twenty-five large balls of smoke rolled down the steep slope on the right side of the mountain.

Among the eight Japanese military trucks that drove in first, the devil driver who was sitting in the right driver's seat saw the round balls rolling down from the mountains and forests at a glance, and all of them had round eyes and a look of hell.

Although they didn't understand what it was, when they encountered such a situation on the battlefield, the first thing that was born in their hearts was the fear of the unknown.

The two devil drivers at the head were quick to see and kick the accelerator suddenly, and the first two trucks quickly picked up speed and rushed directly out of the area covered by rolling thunder.

But the remaining six trucks, as well as the devils who followed quickly, suffered a disaster.

Twenty-five large round balls emitting smoke almost rolled down to the position of the mountain road and exploded directly.

The principle of this rolling thunder is actually very simple, and it is like changing the shape of the usual cuboid explosive package and condensing it into a spherical explosive body that can be used to roll down.

"The explosives we use to deal with devils can be explosives packs, which can be thrown or detonated remotely, but why can't they be made into a ball shape and used to roll down to attack? A variety of strike means are more able to adapt to the ever-changing combat environment. ”

At that time, Kong Jie was in the repair shop, and he inspired Dong San in this way.

Dong San, this kid is also smart enough, and it didn't take long for him to make the first rolling thunder.

As a result, because the delay was too short, it exploded directly after falling seven or eight meters, and it also caused minor injuries to the personnel who tested the explosion and rolled mines, which could bluff Dong San very lightly.

Later, Dong San led the research and development personnel of the new weapon of the Repair Institute to continuously improve and control the delay of the explosion of the rolling thunder, and calculated the data table for the use of the rolling thunder, with what force, what rolling angle, and how far the corresponding delay rolling distance would be.

At present, the weight of these rolling thunders produced by the repair machine is not light, each weighing nearly five kilograms.

The comrades of the Rolling Thunder Group each carried two Rolling Thunder in their arms, and they couldn't even hold their guns.

At this weight, the amount of gunpowder contained in the rolling thunder is not light, and the power of the explosion is equivalent to the power of a cluster grenade composed of a dozen grenades.

At this moment, the rolling thunder suddenly exploded on the mountain road, and the devil puppet army directly turned on his back.

In particular, some rolling thunder rolled down the devil's truck under the wheels of the devil's truck, and then exploded, and under the catharsis of the huge shock wave, the entire devil's truck was even lifted off.

Hell is playing out here.

The devil Shaosa Furukawa Shoumasa, who led the team to follow up in the rear, was almost stunned......
