I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 421

"boom"

"..."

The constant explosions destroyed the luck in Murakami's heart. He realized that this seemingly new village was very dangerous.

It is even said that this is not a village at all. If it is an ordinary village, it is impossible to lay out such a booby trap. No, there is still the sound of landmine explosions.

"Squadron leader, we may have fallen into the trap of Tuba Road. This should not be a village of ordinary villagers, but a camp on Tuba Road!" Masao Murakami looked at Gong Yuanichiro who was beside him. He lowered his head and waited for Gong Yuan. Genichiro's reprimand.

Failure to realize this in advance is undoubtedly his mistake, and it is normal to be reprimanded.

Miyamoto Ichiro didn't reprimand, he directly ordered: "Tell the three teams to stop exploring and retreat the same way."

Knowing that there are booby traps and landmines laid out by Tuba Road in this area, Miyamoto Ichiro knew that he could not continue to investigate. He only had so many troops in his hands. If he really wanted to smash all the jade here, he might be punished by the captain after returning.

After giving the order to retreat, Miyamoto Ichiro obviously became more vigilant. He looked around from time to time, but he was worried that his life would be threatened!
Compared with Miyamoto Ichiro, Murakami Masao was much calmer. He noticed the change of Miyamoto Ichiro, and silently transferred a few devils to Miyamoto Ichiro's side to protect Miyamoto Ichiro's safety.And he himself looked around with the same vigilance, and was able to stay with Miyamoto Ichiro all the time. Murakami Masao and Miyamoto Ichiro were similar in some respects.

After the three infantry squads were all withdrawn, Ichiro Miyamoto and Masao Murakami breathed a sigh of relief. With so many warriors of the Imperial Japanese Empire staying by their side, their lives were guaranteed.Just looking at the village not far away, Miyamoto Ichiro hesitated, he didn't know what to do.

"Squadron leader, it is very likely that Tuba Road troops were stationed in that village before, maybe we can find traces of Tuba Road in it." Murakami Zhensheng couldn't help but said.
Miyamoto Ichiro looked calm. To become a squadron leader, he still has some ability.For this point, Miyamoto Ichiro has already seen it, but he didn't have much idea of ​​letting people investigate. He encountered booby traps and landmines arranged by Tuba Road at the beginning of the investigation. If he continues to investigate, who knows what will happen? How many casualties were there?
"Okay, then let's try to investigate and let the engineers start clearing the mines first!" Miyamoto Ichiro said.

An engineering unit took out mine detectors and started demining work. They spread out and covered a five-meter radius.Demining does not mean that all booby traps and landmines need to be found out, it only needs to successfully clear out a road that can allow the devil troops to pass through.

Seeing that the demining work started, the other devils in the infantry squadron found places to set up simple positions to prevent attacks by local troops.It has to be said that under the command of Miyamoto Ichiro, this devil infantry squadron has become a lot more cautious, and it is precisely this kind of caution that prevents the devils from this infantry squadron from suffering too many casualties.

Miyamoto Ichiro looked at all this with satisfaction, considering that he and others had reached out at the base of Tuba Road, he also ordered his soldiers to dig trenches.Taking advantage of the fact that there is no battle happening now, digging trenches ahead of time will undoubtedly ensure their own safety to the greatest extent.

It doesn't matter whether the excavated trenches can be used or not. Miyamoto Ichiro just wants to ensure his own safety to the greatest extent.If this area wants to defend, only by digging trenches can it last enough time.

Constantly checking the surrounding situation, Miyamoto Ichiro thought about how he would respond when the Tuba Road troops launched an attack.Miyamoto Ichiro thought very carefully, maybe he was not good at attacking, but for the purpose of signing up.On defense, he has put in a lot of effort.Even if he was besieged by the Tuba Route troops, as long as there were no more than two regiments, then Miyamoto Ichiro would have the confidence to stick to it.

"boom"

Suddenly, there was another explosion, and a mine-sweeping Japanese engineer accidentally triggered a booby-trapped mine, and because of the short distance, he died immediately.The minesweeper in the devil's hand was directly blown out. Judging from its appearance, it should not be able to continue to be used.

After the gunpowder smoke cleared, the remaining mine-sweeping engineers continued to sweep the mines. They were already cautious, but now they became more careful.

In order to prevent themselves from triggering the booby-trapped mines laid by Tuba Road, these mine-sweeping engineers slowed down their mine-sweeping speed, and it might take a minute or two to move forward. It was a matter of their own safety, and they did not dare to be careless.Of course, these devil minesweeping engineers dared to do this because they clearly understood Miyamoto Ichiro's character and knew that they would not be punished by Miyamoto Ichiro.

Among the ghost soldiers in the entire infantry squadron, they all knew to some extent what the squadron leader Miyamoto Ichiro was thinking. Unless there was really no way out, Miyamoto Ichiro would definitely give priority to saving his life.

As expected by the mine-clearing engineers, the squadron leader Miyamoto Ichiro saw their slow mine-clearing speed, but there was no one there.

And the other devil soldiers didn't seem to see this at all. They were busy with their own affairs, perhaps because they often dug trenches, and these devil soldiers dug trenches very fast.At the same time, while digging the trenches, these ghost soldiers were still talking and laughing, as if they were not on the battlefield at all.

At a position less than 1000 meters away from the devils, some soldiers observed the devils with binoculars. After seeing the relaxed appearance of these devils, the soldiers were a little puzzled, what is going on with this group of devils?After asking other soldiers to send the news of this devil army to Liu Gen, this soldier continued to observe here.

The position where the soldiers are located is a small mountain depression. It is difficult for the devil troops to find them when observing the devil troops here.

And not far from this soldier, there are several other soldiers. They are a reconnaissance team, specially used to observe the movements of the devil troops.These soldiers can clearly see every move of the devils. They are a little thankful that Liu Gen did not choose to fight this devil, otherwise, with the cautious appearance of this devil army, it may be very difficult to fight this devil army. Taking too much advantage.

"boom"

A landmine disguised by the soldiers escaped the detection of the devil's engineer. The devil's engineer who stepped on the landmine was directly blown out. When the devil's soldier landed, there was only a miserable cry.

Seeing this scene, the devil's minesweeper engineer showed obvious panic on his face, but under the reprimand of the squad leader, he got up quickly and continued to probe forward.As for the howling devil soldier, there will be devil soldiers who will take him for treatment, but before the rescue devil soldier arrives, the devil soldier who has been crying in pain has no life.

You don't need to look to know what happened to this devil soldier. The front was hit by a landmine, and the chances of surviving are too small.

The mine-sweeping engineers were still probing, and realized that Tubalu had done a lot of cover-ups when they were laying mines, and they became more nervous when they were clearing the mines.As long as there is any abnormality, they will conduct several inspections to ensure their own safety.

The speed of such careful demining was very slow, but the devil's engineers still played a big role in doing so. They found several mines and successfully cleared them.

Seeing that the demining work was progressing smoothly, Miyamoto Ichiro relaxed a lot. When the engineers finished the demining work and found a safe way to allow the troops to pass, then there would be no problems.Maybe the work of engineers and deminers seems a little slow, but Miyamoto Ichiro doesn't care, as long as he has enough safety.

Even if the large army came from behind, Miyamoto Ichiro would have a suitable reason to deal with it. Back in the dug trench, he picked up the dinner brought by the soldiers and ate it.

As night fell, the infantry squadron led by Miyamoto Ichiro had already completed the work of setting up camp, but there were not many devil soldiers who were actually resting in the camp. Most of the devil soldiers chose to rest in the trenches, and only staying in the trenches would Let them have enough sense of security.

Miyamoto Ichiro's Infantry Squadron had also fought against the Tuba Route Troops, and the devil soldiers in the Infantry Squadron were well aware of the cunning of the Tuba Routes. In the dark, the Tuba Route Troops were the most likely to launch an attack.Even if it is unable to launch a large-scale offensive, the Tuba Road troops will carry out certain harassment, so that the devil soldiers cannot get a good enough rest at night.

"Order the soldiers to divide into three groups for vigilance. When encountering an attack from the Tuba Road, stand firm in the position and do not pursue." Miyamoto Ichiro ordered.

Soon, the order of Miyamoto Ichiro was conveyed to every ghost soldier, and the devil soldiers naturally didn't have any opinions. They were a garrison force, not a combat force on the front line. If it was not necessary, they didn't want to fight The Eighth Route Army fought.

As the night passed, neither Miyamoto Ichiro nor the devils in the infantry squadron had a good rest. There were gunshots and explosions from time to time at night, which disturbed them unbearably.But in order to prevent this from Tubalu's trick to lure soldiers, Miyamoto Ichiro forbade the devil soldiers to pursue. Unless Tubalu really got close to the position, the devil soldiers would not easily fight back.

The soldiers who harassed the devils at night were also slightly taken aback when they found that the devils' troops did not respond. These devils must have been a little too cautious.If it weren't for Liu Gen's order, the soldiers in charge of the harassment would probably have quietly approached the devil's position. From the soldiers' point of view, if the devil didn't dare to fight back, they must have been cowardly, and their combat effectiveness would not be too strong.

In the early morning, the soldiers who harassed the Devil's troops quietly left and stayed here. They were easily spotted by the Devil's troops.

This devil infantry squadron was very cautious, but the soldiers knew that it was because the devils didn't know how many troops they had. If the devil's army saw that they were few in number, they would definitely launch an attack without hesitation.Of course, there are still a few soldiers who are responsible for investigating the movements of the devils. They have received Liu Gen's order to pay close attention to the movements of the devils' troops.

"Squadron leader, are you awake?" Miyamoto Ichiro opened his eyes and saw Murakami Masao staying beside him, which reassured him a lot.

After Murakami Masao waited for Miyamoto Ichiro to get dressed, he handed the prepared toiletries to Miyamoto Ichiro. His ability to become the deputy captain of the infantry squadron had nothing to do with Miyamoto Ichiro's promotion.Knowing that Miyamoto Ichiro likes to enjoy himself, after Murakami Shinsei became the deputy captain of the infantry squadron, he kept flattering him, which made Miyamoto Ichiro very comfortable.

After washing up, Miyamoto Ichiro felt that he was much more comfortable, and he enjoyed the breakfast served by devil soldiers.

"Murakami-kun, in fact, you don't have to do this every day. It's too hard. You are the deputy captain of our infantry squadron. It's good to leave such things to the soldiers." Miyamoto Ichiro looked at Masao Murakami in front of him, slightly Said hypocritically.

Masao Murakami shook his head quickly, and said loudly: "It is my honor to take care of your Excellency, Squadron Leader. Squadron Leader, please don't say such things, it's not hard at all."

Seeing Masao Murakami being so witty, Miyamoto Ichiro patted Masao Murakami on the shoulder with satisfaction, he liked such a witty squadron leader.

"After the soldiers had breakfast, let the engineers continue the demining work, trying to complete the demining work in the shortest possible time, and open up a safe road for the troops!" Miyamoto Ichiro said.

Murakami's face was a bit ugly, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "Your Excellency, the squadron leader, I am afraid that the mine clearance work will not be completed so easily. Several engineers were injured in the attack by the Tuba Road last night."

"The engineer was injured? What's the matter? Wasn't the Tuba Road attack last night still a long way away?" Gong Yuanichiro asked with a frown.

Without mine-sweeping engineers, it would be impossible to send out the mines laid by Tubalu.As for the artillery coverage with the mortars carried, it is necessary to blow up all the positive areas, otherwise there will be a lot of landmines arranged by Tuba Road.It's just that the artillery shells carried by the infantry squadron are still a lot worse even if they want to do this.

"Baga! Find the uninjured engineers and find out if there are any other soldiers who know how to clear mines. As long as they can complete minesweeping work, then I will ask the captain for them!" Miyamoto Ichiro said.

Ten minutes later, some soldiers appeared in front of Miyamoto Ichiro, and there were still some ghost soldiers who wanted to make meritorious service in the infantry squadron.Even though these ghost soldiers clearly knew the danger of mine clearance work, they still chose to stand up. In the eyes of these ghost soldiers, mine clearance is not that difficult, and Tuba Road can't lay too many mines.

"Very good! You are all warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, and I will report your achievements to the captain! Go, for His Majesty the Emperor!" Miyamoto Ichiro encouraged loudly.

Masao Murakami looked at all this expressionlessly. How could he be affected by these words when he clearly understood Miyamoto Ichiro's character?Masao Murakami knows that the squadron leader Miyamoto Ichiro has no determination to dedicate everything to His Majesty the Emperor, so he can only let these ordinary soldiers go.

Encouraged by the squadron leader Miyamoto Ichiro, these ghost soldiers went to the minefield not far away one after another, and started the demining work again!
