The Research Institute of the Japanese Army Academy of Sciences had no choice but to bite the bullet and reduce the burden on the landmine detection machine. This reduction took a full two years.But the battlefield waits for no one. At this time, China's national war of resistance has broken out. The Japanese soldiers found helplessly that the Chinese soldiers in front of them were becoming more and more brave and fearless, and they were becoming more and more cunning in fighting.

Especially in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, after the Chinese soldiers received the authentic instruction from the German instructors, they learned from the German army’s experience in dismantling a large number of wooden-handled grenade bodies at the end of World War I, and used their pulling fuzes as simple landmines. mines, trip mines and even powerful cluster mines.

This kind of emergency landmine transformed from a grenade body is easy to use. The Japanese army often stepped on the landmines left behind after occupying the Chinese defense fortification. A small gift, come and go is not indecent.Chinese soldiers also used cluster grenades to make anti-tank mines, which were designed to blow up Japanese marching brigades and transport convoys.

The front-line Japanese soldiers who were blown up and down hurriedly asked for help from the base camp. Even carrying such a big burden as a Type [-] landmine detector was better than being bombed blindly.But the base camp could not provide enough landmine detection machines for the Chinese battlefield. On the one hand, China was too big, and the Japanese soldiers swaggered everywhere, running into the vast ocean of the anti-Japanese people. There were many teams in China to deal with the little devils.

On the other hand, Japan's electronic production technology and production capacity at that time were far from astonishing as after the 60s. At that time, vacuum electron tubes were more expensive than gold of the same weight, and they were absolutely scarce.

what to do?The Japanese Army can only carry forward its own copycat tradition, requiring front-line soldiers to make and learn to use "landmine detection sticks" extensively.The landmine detection stick sounds mysterious, but it is actually a long wooden handle with a metal probe on the front. When using it, soldiers bend down and insert the mine detection stick into the ground at an angle of 45 degrees to find landmines through contact.This method of mine detection is relatively simple, and soldiers can learn it as soon as they learn it, but it has low efficiency and poor accuracy. Even if a large number of soldiers lined up in a dense formation to scan the minefield, there is no guarantee that all mines will be found.

By the way, I would like to sigh the dead brain of the devils. The German army also has "landmine detection sticks", but when they put a rifle on a bayonet and insert it into the ground at an angle of 45 degrees, it becomes the best mine detection stick.In order to deal with the sea of ​​landmines planted by the British in the fields of Europe, the German soldiers frequently poked the ground with rifle bayonets.

However, as a simple mine detection equipment, the mine detection stick looks simple, but it is not easy to use.Ideally, as long as the insertion points are dense enough, the landmine detection rod can completely cover the swept area, but in actual combat, people will always miss, especially ordinary devil soldiers who are not skilled enough to use it, but are afraid of landmines in their hearts, shaking their hands It is possible to miss a few rounds, and these missed thunders can always cause huge damage to the Japanese army.

Another point is that the Chinese army, especially the anti-Japanese army under the leadership of Yan'an, was never prepared to fight the Japanese in an upright manner, so the number of ways to lay mines was not a regular army minefield.

Their mines are here and there. You may not be able to find a few mines by poking underground for an hour or two, but if the devils dare to stride forward and go directly to the village or the base area, the mines will find them. .As a result, if the devils did not clear the mines, they would be blown up by the mines. They cleared the mines slowly, jumping through circles, and when they entered the village, they would not see the food they wanted and the villagers.However, it is precisely because of the rustic Gongtubalu that the Japanese army never dared to eliminate the landmine detection stick.

Although the use of electromagnetic induction landmine detection sticks is not very effective against the Yan'an army, it is very effective against the illegal landmines, because the illegal landmines are basically licensed products made by regular arsenals. There is basically nothing to hide in front of you.

On the contrary, Tuba Road, which is poor and barefoot, does not have much munitions industry. Most of the explosives in the base area need to be seized. At most, they can make some black powder by themselves, and the explosive power is limited.However, by mobilizing the masses to use their brains, they use the altars and pots of the villagers, the stones and trees on the mountainside to develop various land mines, and the scattered pottery, tiles, stones, and wooden thorns will still make you bleed die.

Therefore, the Japanese army also admitted that there were many kinds of landmines dug in the Chinese battlefield. Most of them were made in a hurry. Only a few were made of metal.Without metal parts, it is difficult for an electromagnetic landmine detector to find traces of landmines.Therefore, the Japanese army had to use the original landmine detection stick to poke 1.1 meters blindly when encountering land mines.

It's a pity that although ** has an arsenal, it has to give priority to grenades, shells, and bullets in production, and even disdains to use the native methods of the Yan'an army. Nanjing and other places have almost lost their pre-war mine reserves.Therefore, the number of mines equipped by the expeditionary force was very small, otherwise, a mine array could be deployed in this big retreat, and it would not cause such a large number of casualties.

Although the number of landmines is limited, the metal detectors still make strange noises when encountering scrap copper and rotten iron, and the Japanese army has to dig honestly. In addition, Chen Feng and the others are not authentic. As long as all the irons were collected and buried on the ground, more than 2000 people worked hard all night, and the route was dozens of miles long.

When the Japanese army crossed the bridge overnight, thinking that they could pursue the expeditionary army with all their strength, they found that it was impossible to move an inch. The entire engineering regiment was sent up, and they poked on the road for a whole night. When we arrived at Shilidi, Tanaka Shinichi, the commander of the No. 30 Eighth Division of the Japanese Army, almost vomited blood.Of course, this is something for later, so I won’t show it for the time being.

After the Snow Wolf Special Forces attacked the Japanese Mohua United Unit by surprise, they immediately ran all the way, and arrived at the place where they crossed the river in the evening. Looking at the rushing and roaring river, everyone was dumbfounded, this current?Not to mention swimming across, it's just that there are a few small boats that can't row to the other side, and it's strange not to be overturned in the water by the waves.

Fortunately, Su Canwen took out his walkie-talkie and asked. The three wounded soldiers and the rest of the independent regiment had already crossed the river, and they were also staring at the river in a daze on the other side. Su Canwen immediately ordered them not to wait, and rushed to Le Watt, and the No.70 Fifth Army.

Just when Su Canwen was at a loss, Xiaodao came out again, saying that he had a way to cross the river, and told everyone that there was not only one bridge on the Liangmiao River, there was also a chain bridge thirty miles to the east, although it could not be crossed by cars. , but people have no problem.
