The strongest militia

() I originally thought that there would be no Japanese armored troops with minefields ahead. In order to regain the time wasted just now, the speed of the car was naturally much faster than before.As a result, there was another explosion, and the armored vehicles driving behind the tank all slammed to the brakes immediately, so that Erlang Ishii, who was resting with his eyes closed, bounced off his seat and hit the armored deck.

'Ouch! '

Major General Ishii, who was knocked out of a big bag, immediately slapped the soldier in charge of driving and scolded: "Baga, how did you drive?"

The driver who was slapped in the face said with some panic: "Your Excellency, the armored vehicle in front suddenly slowed down because of the excessive speed. I stepped on the emergency brake to prevent the two vehicles from colliding."

Hearing what the driver said, and touching the big bump on his forehead, Ishii still scolded the other party and finally calmed down and opened the car door. He didn't send someone to call Suzuki, who was in command at the front, to the position of the central army, but He personally took a few officers to the tank squadron in front.

Seeing the figure of engineers appearing in the open space in front, Ishii naturally knew what happened, and said angrily: "The shameless Chinese army knows to use this method to delay the army of our Great Japanese Empire. Suzuki, order the engineering brigade All of them are dispatched to quickly clear the landmines and open the way, and if the attack plan is delayed, let them disembowel themselves to thank His Majesty the Emperor."

Hearing Ishii's murderous words, the little devil's engineer captain cursed the Chinese soldiers who laid mines, and went to the battle to clear the mines himself.

It's a pity that his appearance did not speed up the demining of the engineering brigade. On the contrary, Wu Zhongyuan, who had been observing the situation of the engineers in the minefield, immediately moved the gun to his head when he saw a major officer enter the minefield.At the same time, he ordered: "This major belongs to me. When my gunshots are fired, you each clear a target. After three shots, hide in the anti-gun hole to lurk. Do you hear clearly?"

'Clear! '

Although these special forces members are envious of the little devil's major and wish to be the first to shoot him, but who is Wu Zhongyuan the commander?The gun originally aimed at Shao Zuo suddenly left only Wu Zhongyuan alone, and each of them looked for the target again.

With a series of gunshots of "bang bang bang", the engineering captain who was concentrating on clearing mines in the minefield immediately fell on the mine with his head burst.And a series of gunshots rang out, and there were not many engineers who could stand in the minefield.Even some unlucky engineers touched landmines while being shot, which made some Japanese engineers who were not targeted by special forces members suffer bad luck.

Ishii, who had also been observing the demining situation, was immediately pulled aside by the accompanying officers to cover himself after hearing gunshots from the opposite mountain forest.After the gunfire stopped, seeing that the engineering brigade was almost dead, Ishii, who became angry from embarrassment, commanded the mortar unit that had been in charge of vigilance to fight back.

It is a pity that when each mortar reported that no less than ten shells had been fired in the forest just now, Suzuki, who was staying beside Ishii, said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, I think the Chinese soldiers have already escaped. That's how they were just now." , She killed some of our warriors and ran away immediately. I think their intention is to delay our time, so it should not make much sense to continue shelling."

Hearing what Suzuki said, Ishii, who also didn't hear any movement, ordered the mortar unit to stop shelling, and asked Suzuki to send out the soldiers who were familiar with mine clearance again.And in order to prevent the opponent from continuing to shoot his own soldiers, Ishii specifically confessed that once the opponent shoots, the artillery unit will immediately bomb the place where the gun rang.

The special forces members hiding in the anti-blasting hole, after experiencing a full attack of shells, saw that there was no sound of cannons outside, sneaked out and found that the opponent began to arrange troops to clear mines again.

Wu Zhongyuan, who sneaked back to the ambush site, observed carefully through the binoculars the engineers who were clearing the mines, and said with a smile: "It seems that the little devil's engineers let us wipe out almost all of them, and now the soldiers who entered the minefields to clear the mines seem to be It’s not the engineers just now. Brothers, each of us is responsible for shooting and evacuating immediately, and setting up booby traps along the road. Hehe, without the engineers who clear the mines, let’s see how these little devils can pass nearly one kilometer later minefield."

Just when Suzuki thought that the small group of troops who made a sneak attack just now would have left long ago, just like the troops who made a surprise attack the first time.Another series of gunshots rang out, and the demining soldiers who were finally selected from the brigade were shot to death by the opponent again.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, the mortar troops, which had also been on alert, immediately started loading and firing again.It's just a pity that the special forces members who each finished firing a row of bullets have quickly withdrawn their guns and retreated.And after they left, the sound of shelling behind them was undoubtedly another roar to see off the special forces.

Seeing that all the soldiers in the brigade who knew how to clear mines had been killed by local sheriffs, and most of the rest who survived were slightly or seriously injured, Major General Ishii, who always felt that this battle was extremely useless, pointed at Suzuki who was also stunned. The Lieutenant Commander just slapped his face and scolded at the same time: "Baga, you are dead! Didn't you say that the Chinese soldiers have left? Then who shot and killed our soldiers just now? Now there are no soldiers who know how to clear mines. How did the troops get through the minefield?"

Suzuki, whose mouth was bleeding from the beating, didn't dare to refute at all, and said stiffly: "I am willing to lead a group of warriors and use my body to break a way for the brigade."

Knowing that he had no way out, Suzuki said such tough words in order to die with dignity as much as possible.Ishii, who was also shocked by his words, really couldn't say anything for a while.I looked at my watch again, it wasn't long before dark.If you can't reach Xingtai by tonight, it will inevitably affect the entire Japanese army's North China encirclement plan to a certain extent.

Originally, he really wanted Suzuki to lead a group of soldiers to use their bodies to roll thunder, but after thinking about the consequences of doing so, the soldiers in the brigade would definitely resent him.After thinking hard for a while, he finally asked a surviving engineer and learned that detonation could also be used to clear the minefield.It's just that this method of mine clearance is suitable for use in dense minefields, and it wastes explosives.

Rather than wasting some explosives, Ishii was more worried that he would not be able to capture Xingtai City in time. He gritted his teeth and finally let his artillery unit start bombing section by section along the way forward.He did not recommand the troops until the brigade's mortar shells had been exhausted and the last stretch of bombing seemed to have failed to detonate the mines.

Ishii, who was worried that he might be attacked along the way, did not let the tank unit take the lead this time, but brought up the infantry brigade.Let them send a [-]-man army to chase the whereabouts of the Chinese soldiers in the scattered mountains and forests that were bombed by shells, and the rest of the soldiers accelerated their pace and marched towards Xingtai City.

Along with this hundred-man pursuit team, after experiencing a lot of booby traps, only a small half of the Japanese soldiers finally ran back in disgrace, and reported to Ishii that the last trace of the opponent had left the mountain forest and entered the main road.The infantry who were advancing just now were also injured a lot by several landmines that were not detonated. Ishii said nothing, and asked his subordinates to send these injured soldiers to the back for treatment.

Ishii had already decided that when Xingtai City was captured, those who dared to attack his troops would definitely let those who dared to attack his troops, causing two tanks in his entire brigade to be scrapped, hundreds of officers below the rank of a major officer, and nearly 108 casualties.This painful price is a heavy loss that he has never encountered since he became the head of the [-]th brigade.If he didn't find some people to vent his anger on, then he, the brigade commander of the major general, would really have no face to face these soldiers with low morale.

Under the sneak attack from time to time by the special forces, the historical defeat of the Japanese army stationing in Xingtai on the day of the Japanese retreat was changed by Deng Chenggong and the special forces to the fact that the 108th brigade entered Xingtai City with a tired face in the morning of the next two days.And when Shi Jing saw the empty appearance of Xingtai City, he was really taken aback.

Until soldiers were sent out to capture and question some civilians who were still a little bit lucky.Only then did I learn that the police stationed here had secretly left Xingcheng last night.What puzzled him was that after the army retreated, another unknown team entered Xingtai, demolished all the useful things in the county, and before they arrived Within an hour, they all disappeared in the mountains outside the city.

As for the armed forces that were ahead of them to plunder the supplies of the county seat, Ishii never thought that the sap he suffered along the way was designed by the other party.Because, he knew very well that the soldiers who engaged in such small-scale harassment were all elites in the army.How could it be possible for a gang of bandits armed with hoes to do such a thing.The other party robbed the supplies just to satisfy their selfish desires.Otherwise, why did this group of people flee in all directions when they saw them coming?

But before he felt better about himself, another series of explosions sounded in the city. Ishii, whose thoughts were interrupted, said angrily, "Baga, where are the explosions coming from?"

The adjutant who hurried over said cautiously: "Report to the head of the brigade. Just now, after our troops entered the opponent's barracks, they accidentally touched the explosives planted by the opponent. The infantry brigade that was preparing to camp had more than [-] people. It also caused more than [-] casualties in the infantry brigade. It can be said that the infantry brigade has basically lost its combat effectiveness, and the explosion just now destroyed all the barracks of the Chinese army, which is no longer suitable for us to station."

Another brigade lost its combat effectiveness, and under the eyes of the adjutant who almost ran away from embarrassment, Ishii pulled out the general officer's knife he carried with him, and chopped off a corner of the pear blossom wooden table in front of him.In the end, he knew that under such circumstances, he could not continue to pursue the escaped Japanese troops, but he already remembered the 32st Division of the 141nd Army of the Nationalist Party stationed in Xingtai in his heart.

At the same time, let the radio operator report this situation to the newly established North China Front Army Command, and request the command to notify the troops below. revenge.

Just like that, the 141st Division, who was burying their heads in the escape, never thought that they would run away honestly, and even take such a blame for the militia column, but what they didn't know was that soon their army was in the middle of the war. It caused a sensation, and at the same time, it also laid the groundwork for the Japanese army to chase and intercept them frantically.
