Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 303 Prepared?

The deputy captain then reminded: "However, captain, if the engineering soldiers clear the mines, because the mines used by the Eighth Route Army are all made of ceramic shells, the mine clearance speed is too slow."

"Let's clear the mines first. When we reach the first village in front, we can catch some people in the village and clear the way for us, so we don't have to worry about the landmines of the Eighth Route Army?" the team leader ordered with a murderous look on his face.

The deputy captain quickly replied: "The captain is wise! The Eighth Route Army has always been known for caring for the people of China. If there are Chinese people who open the way ahead, the Tuba Road will definitely not dare to plant landmines! Otherwise, the landmines will blow up their own people first!"

Ten minutes later, the Japanese army continued to march forward.

At this time, Chang Lin had led the guerrillas to rearrange a landmine array for the Japanese and puppet troops. This time, Chang Lin took out three mines at a time and prepared a chain mine for the devils.

"Comrade Changlin, the devil has entered the minefield?" Captain Zhong of the guerrilla team said expectantly and worriedly.

Chang Lin replied confidently: "Captain Zhong, don't worry, these three landmines will definitely cause heavy losses to the devils!"

Soon, the devil stepped on the first landmine, and the hearts of Captain Zhong and all the guerrillas under him were raised in their throats, fearing that the landmine would explode.

"Fortunately, there was no explosion!" The squadron leader let out a sigh of relief and looked forward to it even more.

The second mine, still did not explode.

With the third landmine, the hearts of the squadron leader and his subordinates once again raised their throats.

This time, the mine exploded.

"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded on the road and reached Captain Zhong's ears.

"Boom!" Before he could be happy, two explosions came.

The ghosts and puppet soldiers around the three landmines were blown up in pieces in the sound of the explosion, and there were three craters on the ground that were more than one meter deep and were directly burned, which shows how powerful these landmines are.

"Baga, why are there still landmines on the road, and three mines exploded at the same time, how did the Eighth Route Army do it!" The lieutenant captain shouted with a pale face.

The explosion of the first three landmines had already reduced the forward troops by more than 50%, and now there were corpses and wounded everywhere around him. At a glance, it was clear that there were more than 20 casualties, including nearly [-] of the imperial army.

Excluding these people, there are not many people left in the entire forward force.As the commander of the vanguard, the lieutenant had the idea of ​​committing suicide. Looking at the bloody scene in front of him, his face was pale, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The captain of the Japanese army quickly received the news and rushed over directly under the protection of the guards.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the whole person was stunned for half a minute before he could react, and cursed: "Bageyalu, cunning Eighth Route Army, I will kill you all!"

"Your Excellency, captain, do you want to order the engineers to go ahead to clear the mines!" The deputy captain reminded with a serious face.

"Minesweeping, by the time the mines on the road are cleared, Tuba Road will have been wiped out by other troops long ago!" The captain cursed angrily.

Then he ordered fiercely: "The Second Squadron gave up the road and rushed to the front village through the wheat field, and brought back fifty Chinese people. Don't Tuba Road like to bury landmines? Then we will use the Chinese people to go to the front Give us landmines. There are more landmines in Lao Tubalu's hands than there are more people in China around, so go and execute them immediately!"

"Hi!" The deputy captain immediately took orders.

But it didn't take long for the Second Squadron to come back, and it was still a failure, carrying more than a dozen wounded and dead bodies, and ran back with low morale.

"What's going on, what's the matter with the casualties? What about the Chinese people? Why didn't the Chinese people I wanted come back!" The team leader stared at the squadron leader like an angry lion and asked back.

The squadron leader lowered his head and replied: "When we arrived at the village, the village was deserted. There was not a single Chinese person, not even a dog."

"As for the casualties, we encountered the Tuba Road guerrillas, and it was they who shot us coldly!"

"Then did you send troops to destroy them!" The captain asked back with eyes full of anger.

"Sir, please punish them, we didn't eliminate them! These Tuba roads are too cunning, they will be killed after they are fought, and they are very scattered. I sent troops to chase them, but they lost them within a few minutes after chasing them. It has no effect at all!" The captain lowered his head even lower.

As the squadron leader from the field troops of the imperial army, the squadron leader has never fought such an aggrieved battle.If you are angry, no one is more angry than him.But the guerrillas are really too cunning, whether it is a guerrilla warfare like cold guns, or a mobile warfare that seizes the opportunity to pounce on him and bite him, it makes him tired of dealing with it!
"This must be a conspiracy by the Tuba Road. Without the people of China to open the way, the road that could have been covered in one day may not be completed in five days with the engineering soldiers clearing the mines!" The deputy captain immediately reacted and shouted anxiously.

The captain's face was extremely gloomy, and it took 5 minutes to react: "Bageya Road, this encirclement and suppression operation is an excellent opportunity for us to eliminate the independent regiment. There must be no accidents. I will contact Your Excellency General immediately. Let's see what the general can do, the whole encirclement and suppression campaign must not be accidental because of us!"

Soon, the deputy captain walked over with a heavy face.

"Captain, Your Excellency the General has called back."

"Other three-way offensive troops also encountered the same problems as ours. Obviously, the Eighth Route Army has long been prepared for our sweep this time!"

The captain obviously breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the problem of mopping up doesn't happen to him, nothing is a problem.

Then he stared at the vice-captain and asked, "What's your opinion, General?"

"Hi!" The deputy captain replied immediately.

"Your Excellency the General said, since the Tuba Road has already prepared for our raid, we must be more careful in the next raid!"

"The four-way offensive troops maintain their current speed, and mines should be cleared as soon as they are needed. It doesn't matter if the speed is slower, but the distance between the four-way offensive troops must not be widened. Any offensive team must not stand alone to avoid being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yoxi, Your Excellency the General is very considerate, we will do as the General told you! Order the engineers to start clearing mines immediately!"

"Also, the formation of the vanguard troops should be as dispersed as possible. Even if they encounter landmines, the losses will be very small!"

The deputy captain reminded in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Captain, do you want to order the Imperial Association Army to open the way ahead, so that the losses of our Imperial Army will be minimized!"

"No!" The captain refused without hesitation.

"Everyone knows that they may step on landmines at any time and lose their lives when they open the way ahead. Sending the Imperial Association Army out alone, wouldn't it be clear to them that the Imperial Army wants them to be scapegoats! The Imperial Army still needs them in the next battle, for the time being It’s not enough to make them feel alienated from the imperial army!”

"I understand, I'm going to give the order now!" The deputy captain replied with a face of sudden understanding, and he admired the captain even more.
