Chapter 3: Minefield!

After Zhang Dabiao received the order, he immediately called more than a dozen sapper soldiers.

He unloaded the German-made mines from the mule cart, and then carried the box towards the dirt slope that Li Yunlong pointed to.

The Eighth Route Army was also equipped with mines, but most of them were land mines made in the border areas, and their power was small, and some even had to pull the strings to sound before they could be sounded.

Even with such land mines, there is no superfluity among the Eighth Route Troops, and they are all saved.

The dirt slope that Li Yunlong said was between the position of the new regiment and the position of the devils, close to the position of the new regiment.

If the devil wants to attack the position of the new regiment, the dirt slope is the only way to go, and the sappers will not be detected by the devil when they carry out soil work behind the dirt slope.

Li Yunlong has been fighting with the devil for several years, and he has long figured out the devil's tactics.

It is nothing more than artillery bombardment infantry rush, infantry bombardment after artillery bombardment, artillery bombardment after infantry rush.

This set of tactics seems simple and brainless, but the simpler and cruder it is, the more effective it is, and the Chinese army, which is poorly equipped and lacks weapons and ammunition, has suffered a lot in the face of devils.

The sapper fighters carried the mine boxes and quickly touched the bottom of the dirt slope, two fighters were in charge of guarding, and the remaining soldiers picked up bayonets and shovels and began to dig the earth.

These fighters are all good at planting mines, although they have never seen German-made mines, but the principle is similar to that of land mines.

Then there is the instruction manual of the system, which is equipped with text and pictures, so that people can understand it at a glance.

Landmines are generally divided into several types: pressed, loose, or tripped, and the German-made S-shaped mine is loose.

That is, when the enemy who stepped on the mine released his foot, the mine first ejected to waist-high height before exploding, and the shotgun was fired horizontally at a deadly speed.

After about half a second, the main charge exploded at a suitable height, killing and injuring infantry and personnel.

The German-made S-type mine is the most famous of the jump mines, which is notorious for its great power and anti-human shooting.

In less than 10 minutes, the soldiers had planted all 50 mines, removed the safety devices, and buried the mines with sediment.

Then he cautiously withdrew from the minefield, carrying empty boxes and rifles in his hands to find a new position.

"Report to the head of the regiment, all the mines have been buried!" The captain of the engineer team ran to Li Yunlong and reported.

"Good!" Li Yunlong nodded and said loudly, "I'm afraid the devils are about to start shelling, soldiers pay attention to concealment!" ”

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "Pull the Italian cannon to the back, don't let the devil's cannon blow up!" ”

Immediately a few fighters came up and led the mules to pull the field guns and shells to the rear to hide positions.

After about five minutes, a piercing shriek sounded in the sky, and a cannonball came in.

Boom –

An artillery shell exploded more than 20 meters in front of the new regiment's position, setting up a cloud of mud and mist.

The first shell was a test firing.

More than ten seconds later, a number of shells whistled again, and the shells fired from the devil's artillery position crossed the arc in the sky and fell on the new regiment position.

Boom, boom –

A succession of shells fell, and with the sound of the booming explosion, the new position was instantly enveloped in fire and smoke.

However, Li Yunlong had been prepared for this, and had already withdrawn the soldiers to a safe position, leaving only a few observers on the position.

At the same time, more than 200 devils of a squadron launched a tentative attack on the position of the new regiment with rifles.

This is the usual tactic of the devils, sending a small force to make a tentative attack before the general attack, so as to find out the number of troops and the configuration of the firepower points of the opponent.

The devil commander then makes corresponding combat deployments according to the opponent's strength, and using artillery superiority to knock out the opponent's firepower point is just a basic operation.

After the shelling stopped, the tentative troops of the devils were already 300 meters close to the position, and the machine gunners of the devils looked for a favorable position.

Quickly set up 2 crooked light machine guns and 1 Type 92 heavy machine gun and opened fire on the new regiment's position.

Dada......

Three machine guns spewed out long tongues of fire one after another, and the machine gun shells hit the new position, bounced a cloud of mud and mist.

Under the cover of the machine gun fire point, the charging devils became even more arrogant, and rushed towards the new group of positions with strange screams in their mouths.

I have to say that the Fourth Brigade is known as the elite of the Japanese army, and the devil soldiers have extremely high combat qualities, and they have a fierce and fierce momentum when they charge.

It didn't take long for the dense charging formation of the devils to reach the dirt slope in front of the position, and then jumped down from the dirt slope one after another, and continued to rush towards the eight-way position with bayonets in hand.

Most of the more than 200 devils entered the minefield.

One of the devil's right feet was the first to step on the mine, and then quickly raised and stepped forward.

With only a slight clanging sound, the detonator ignited the projectile charge at the bottom of the mine, and then threw the cylindrical body of the mine into the air at a height of 1 meter.

Boom –

After 0.5 seconds, the explosives inside the mine are ignited.

With the sound of the explosion of the mines, hundreds of steel balls and metal fragments were shot horizontally in all directions.

German mines are so powerful that they can be lethal at a range of 20 meters and cause casualties at a range of 100 meters.

The devil's mouth suddenly let out a scream like killing a pig, seven or eight devils fell to the ground, and the devil who stepped on the mine was even blown in two.

Immediately afterwards, more and more devils stepped on the mines, and a series of violent explosions sounded under the dirt slope.

The entire slope was shrouded in fire and smoke.

Blood mist splatters, minced flesh flies!

After more than 20 explosions in succession, as the smoke cleared, there were less than 80 devils left who could still stand.

Many devils also hung up the lottery, and the devils who survived completely lost their arrogance at the beginning, looking at the ground around them in horror, and their legs and feet were trembling.

"Don't panic, go back the way you are!" The leader of the devil squadron was quite calm and immediately gave the order.

At this time, the devils had all entered the minefield, and it was not so easy to exit, and the footprints on the muddy ground were messy, and no one knew where they came from.

The squadron leader quickly made two retreat gestures, and the devil soldiers cautiously retreated,

Immediately afterwards, another devil stepped on a mine, and there was an explosion, and several devils fell to the ground screaming.

The devil finally panicked, turned around and ran away in a panic, wishing that his parents would give him two more legs.

As a result, more mines were triggered, and the devils were killed and injured one after another.

When more than 200 devils came, only more than 20 devils escaped back, and the remaining 180 devils all died in the mine array.

When the shelling was over, when Li Yunlong returned to his position and looked through the binoculars, he only saw more than 20 devils fleeing in embarrassment.

Looking at the direction of the mine array again, Li Yunlong immediately couldn't help but take a cool breath.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, Li Yunlong saw that the minefield was full of devils' corpses, with stumps and broken arms, and even the mud was stained red by the devil's blood.

Zhang Dabiao touched it with a ghost-headed machete on his back, looked at it with a telescope, and was stunned.

"I'll drop a good ......," Zhang Dabiao exclaimed in an exclamatory tone, "What a powerful mine!" ”
