Rise from eight hundred.

The Japanese army proved the cruelty of minefields with their flesh and blood!

The terminal of a trip mine carefully set up by the third squad of the Fourth Army Regiment was not a small infantry mine, but a super mine buried under a bush that contained 2 kilograms of 'cyclone explosive' that could almost destroy a tank.

All the Japanese troops within a 30-meter radius of the mine were blown up. In just this blow, Mizutani Squadron lost an infantry squad, killing 10 and injuring 5 on the spot!

But the nightmare of Mizutani Squadron did not end, even though they were so frightened that their eggs retracted into their abdomens and no longer dared to take a step forward.

But after all, we had to move forward. The continuous loud explosions had already alarmed the village only a mile ahead. The Chinese villagers who could be seen with the naked eye ran out of the village in panic and were running towards the back mountain.

What's even more outrageous is that some Chinese people even drove pigs and sheep without running away themselves. This was not only because they were afraid that their most valuable property would be snatched away by the Japanese army, but also because they were confident that the Japanese would be blocked by landmines.

It would be fine if there were regular Chinese troops on the other side, but this is a group of Chinese mountain people! It's not a good choice, especially for the Japanese troops of a Class A division who have never encountered an opponent across East and Central China.

This is the humiliation of Chi Guoguo!

"Baga! Forward!" A Japanese second lieutenant with rising blood stood up angrily and took the lead in striding forward.

Then, he became tragic!

To be precise, his group of subordinates who have not yet recovered are even more tragic!

The Japanese second lieutenant's leather boots kicked off a thread hidden in the grass, and there was an explosion nearly ten meters high in the side.

The thunder was not buried in the ground, but was ingeniously placed on a branch of a tree nearly 5 meters above the ground.

Not only did the tree with a diameter at breast height of over 35 centimeters be blown up in half, but what was even more frightening was that the steel balls in the mines scattered in all directions like a goddess scattering flowers.

This is good, no matter whether you are lying down or squatting, as long as you are within the range of the steel balls flying around, you will be attacked.

The Japanese second lieutenant, who could not stand up to 1.6 meters straight, was the biggest target. He was hit by at least 20 steel balls and was blown into a sieve. The blood spurted everywhere.

His infantry squad benefited from his bravery and fearlessness, and 5 people died on the spot and 16 were injured!

If you have to lift those whose legs are injured and cannot walk, this Japanese infantry team has completely lost its combat effectiveness.

As the squadron leader of Shuigu Squadron, Shuigu Xiaoqu was probably red-eyed at that moment. He pulled out his command knife and said: "Baga! Drive the pack horses to explore the road! Everyone follow!"

Pack horses are the most important means of transportation for the Japanese infantry squadron. Almost all the rations and ammunition required by the infantry squadron are carried by these eight pack horses. They will not be consumed easily unless it is a last resort.

But now if you don't want to kill a man, you have to kill a horse, so Captain Mizutani Xiaoqu can only do this!

Several pack horses were hit by whips and ran forward, and were eventually killed by landmines without exception. However, they also found a 'safe road' of more than 50 meters!

Captain Mizutani Xiaoqu’s tense face was finally relieved!

If a minefield wants to maintain both width and depth, it requires a large number of mines for support. Not to mention that this mountain village does not have this capability, even for the Chinese regular army, it will be difficult.

As long as you pass through this woodland and then go back to the mountain road, the Chinese village will be a flat river.

Kawako, who was lurking 300 meters away, couldn't help but feel anxious.

He had personally participated in the laying of this minefield. Of course he knew that due to the limited number of mines, the width of the minefield was 300 meters, but the depth was only less than 50 meters. The Japanese army used pack horses to run forward 50 meters, almost It has penetrated the entire minefield.

As long as the Japanese army followed the hoof prints of the pack horses, this minefield with more than 120 mines would be completely useless.

If the Japanese army were allowed to break into a village and burn the entire village to the ground, no matter how many Japanese soldiers were killed by the previous large landmines, the result would be meaningless.

If they don't attack, it will be too late!

But Lao Abacus remained motionless, turning a blind eye to the Japanese army's imminent success in breaking out of the minefield.

Seeing that the Japanese army had begun to carefully follow the horse hoof prints and that at least 20 people had successfully crossed the minefield and were about to enter the mountain road again, Kawako bit her lip nervously.

However, Kawako finally suppressed the thought of shooting the Japanese officer who walked into the grass under the protection of several Japanese soldiers.

Obeying orders is the duty of a soldier! This is a lesson Kawako learned on a battlefield.

Because he was always a little unwilling to be a reserve, so he once quietly led his infantry squad around the Japanese flank to see if he could find any opportunities.

As a result, during the movement, they were discovered by the Japanese infantry artillery approaching the front. Several rounds of infantry artillery shells were fired at them. The unprotected infantry squad could only crawl on the hillside field and be bombed. If it were not for the mortar squad in the company, Realizing something was wrong, he fired nearly 10 rounds of artillery shells and fought back desperately. Kawako and at least half of his infantry squad were unable to return.

Not only were 10 precious artillery shells wasted, but two soldiers were injured and disabled as a result. The company commander was so angry that he not only had to put him in solitary confinement but also removed him from his position as squad leader.

Fortunately, because of his accidental collision, the mortar squad that fought back happened to hit the shell storage point of the Japanese infantry artillery. As a result, the Japanese infantry artillery did not exert its due combat effectiveness in the subsequent battles, and the entire company was able to Therefore, no big losses were suffered, and he finally escaped unscathed.

The merits and demerits were balanced. Kawako was only imprisoned for two days and could continue to be his squad leader. However, Kawako always remembered the exact words the company commander warned him: "If you didn't have that luck, the consequences of your disobeying the military order this time would be , not only is your infantry squad gone, but 10 precious mortar shells will also be wasted, and the whole company may also pay a greater price. One luck does not mean that it will happen every time!"

Therefore, Kawako was waiting hard for orders from the veterans.

The safe passage that Mizutani Xiaoqu used 6 pack horses to wade out was not as smooth as he imagined, because in addition to trigger mines, Lao Abacus also prepared manual mines for the Japanese in this minefield.

The old-fashioned land mine "La Lei" has long been improved by Tang Dao into a manual strike mine. Two dry batteries are connected to the electrode to generate electric sparks that first detonate a certain amount of black powder and then detonate the 'cyclone explosive' with sufficiently stable performance. !

The wire was more than 100 meters long, and the detonation lever was held in the hand of Potato hidden in the hole covered by the grass.

The active detonating mine is larger, containing more than 3 kilograms of cyclone gunpowder, and thanks to the increase in size, nearly 600 steel balls as big as mung beans are put in, with a killing area of ​​more than a thousand square meters.

Just as the leading Japanese troops entered the mountain road and another infantry squad surrounded their captain and squadron and moved forward along the "safety road" covered with the flesh and blood of pack horses, Tudou pressed the firing lever hard.

The loud noise of "Boom!" shocked Matsukita Yuki, who was rushing here, so much that stars appeared in his eyes, not to mention the Japanese troops in the mine-damaged area.

The entire Japanese infantry squad that was still marching cautiously in the forest was like wheat that was being harvested, falling down in one fell swoop.

But the most tragic scene may not be the more than 30 Japanese soldiers who were swept down by air waves and steel balls.

A Japanese soldier who was rolling unconsciously in pain touched a mine outside the safety area. His whole body was like a piece of rotten wood that was thrown up and flew far away, and then triggered an explosion.

An originally complete body looked as if it had been struck by the knife of death, being chopped off again and again until it was reduced to broken bones and rotten flesh.

The Japanese soldiers in front and behind saw this scene with red eyes, but no one dared to help their colleagues who were howling miserably in the minefield.

Maybe if you are not careful, the living and injured will become the pieces of your colleagues who are blown into pieces of flesh on the ground.

Mizutani Xiaoqu benefited from the protection of several Japanese soldiers around him and was not killed on the spot, but he was also hit by a steel ball on the nose. The originally flat nose was completely turned into a bloody mass. When Matsukita Yuuki came over, he was both amused and angry when he saw that his colleague, who was second only to him in the brigade, had become such a charlatan.

Looking around cautiously, Songbei Yuki finally understood: "Such a huge minefield and such sophisticated mines cannot be completed by a group of ordinary villagers and Tuba. There must be regular Chinese troops here, and they are Elite!

Order Shuigu Squadron to temporarily stop advancing, and Songbei Squadron to send out a squad of vanguard soldiers to search both wings! "

Matsukita Yuki is worthy of being the most promising army captain of the 10rd Infantry Regiment of the 63th Division. He finally judged the current situation by relying on his heavy casualties.

However, what he never expected was that the Chinese side's 'elite' only consisted of two squads. What was even more surprising was that the Chinese side took the initiative to attack before the two infantry squads could climb up the wings and enter the dense forest.

"Bang!" A gunshot!

With the first shot fired by Yang Bicheng, who was in the sniper position on the top of the mountain, Lao Baanpan and the soldiers of Squad 3 began to pour firepower on the Japanese troops down the mountain.

A Japanese second lieutenant fell straight down with a bloody hole in his helmet, becoming Yang Bicheng's first prey on this battlefield.

Yang Bicheng showed no lust in his eyes, and with a cold expression on his face, he pulled the bolt of the gun, swung the muzzle slightly and aimed at another Japanese sergeant who immediately crawled into the grass and began to roll to avoid it.

That was one of the several targets he had chosen long before he fired, and the approximate location of the target had already been anchored in his mind. As long as the target didn't quickly hide in the blind spot, it was basically dead.

It only took Yang Bicheng two seconds from pulling the bolt to aiming and then firing. The Japanese sergeant's thick body suddenly trembled and fell silent after more than ten seconds.

There was only one second left before he could roll under a rock, but the bullet fired from more than 400 meters away accurately hit Tianling Gai. The Type 830 helmet made of thin steel could not stop the warhead with a muzzle velocity of meters. The completely deformed bullet penetrated the brain, turning the brain stem into a tofu shape almost instantly.

"Yo Xi! The Chinese are looking for death. Kill them all, and then go into the mountains to search for the Chinese villagers. They can't run too far. I'm going to hang them all and dry them in this mountain forest!" I heard a voice coming from the two wings of the mountain forest. The gunshots sounded like exploding beans, and Matsukita Yuki smiled instead of getting angry.

Judging from the sound of gunfire, the Chinese were no more than an infantry platoon. With this small force, he could kill them without even using one-third of his strength, even though the Chinese occupied favorable terrain.

"Order the 1st and 2nd detachments of Songbei Squadron to attack from both wings, and the 3rd detachment is on standby; order Mizutani Squadron to leave a detachment to take care of the wounded and the remains of imperial officers and soldiers, and an infantry detachment to bypass the minefield and go up the mountain from the flank; order the infantry artillery Team, fully cooperate with the infantry to kill the enemy troops on the mountain!" Matsukita Yuki ordered the troops in an orderly manner.

The confident Japanese Army Captain invested more than 160 infantrymen in the first attack!

Indeed, if it were an infantry company of the 200th Group Army, even if it had more than 400 or even troops, it might not be able to withstand it when the Japanese army had two infantry cannons participating in the attack.

The most terrifying thing about infantry artillery for front-line infantry is not the damage to infantry, but the damage to firepower points such as light machine guns and even heavy machine guns. It loses the continuous firepower that can suppress infantry. Once the infantry enters the 30-meter area where mines can be thrown, That was the nightmare for the infantrymen in the trenches.

Many times, the superior forces organized by the Eighty Group Army besieged the Japanese army, but were forced to return without success in this way.

But this time, it was obviously different.

During the month and a half after arriving in Panzhai, the two infantry squads and dozens of militiamen provided by Panzhai did not lie down on the top of the mountain to bask in the sun.

First of all, in the mountainous area 600 meters in front of Panzhai, Lao Abacus not only designed the minefields that the Japanese army had to pass through, but also dug blocking positions on the mountainside on both sides.

Not only is there a trench covered by wild vines and bushes, but each individual soldier's bunker is reinforced with logs and rocks. As long as it is not hit by an infantry gun from the front, it will basically not be damaged.

The three machine gun bunkers are semi-sunken structures. The machine gun perforations are only exposed less than 40 centimeters on the ground. The top of the bunkers are protected by natural rocks. Even if they are bombarded by infantry, they can withstand several rounds of artillery shells. Energy, unless there is a large explosive charge blasting below!

There are as many as three such blocking positions surrounding the mountain village of Panzhai, so that adjustments can be made at any time according to the different marching routes of the Japanese army.

Matsukita Yuki just wanted to easily capture this defensive position by relying on his large number of troops and artillery. That was really overthinking.

直到日军低近至3班阵地130米，3班的那挺MG42都还没开枪，拥有足足3000发子弹的射手需要等到日军进入100米的范围，才开始属于他们的收割韭菜时间。

The rest of the time, they were all spearmen and submachine gunners. From the stage when the Japanese army was as close as 200 meters to 130 meters, the riflemen and submachine gunners had killed no less than 10 Japanese soldiers.

Yang Bicheng even killed a Japanese shooter and a Japanese grenadier, raising his record to 4 people.

The Japanese army also noticed the presence of his sharpshooter. An infantry cannon and two grenade launchers bombarded the mountaintop area wildly.

Unfortunately, the Japanese army only knew the approximate direction, but could not define the distance. Yang Bicheng, who had set his sniper position under a tree as thick as a man's waist and was covered in camouflage, never moved his position at all.

The Japanese army soon discovered the enemy's weak point - the position of the 8th Squadron of Kawako on the left flank of the mountain.

The firepower of a total of 9 rifles, 1 Czech light machine gun and a blunderbuss is unmatched on any battlefield.

Even if the recruits of Class 8 fought hard against the Japanese gunfire and bullets under the protection of perfect fortifications, they could not suppress the Japanese army's mad advance.

The Japanese soldiers even started to straighten up and move forward with their backs hunched over!

This also gave Kawako a record of killing Japanese soldiers for the first time!

Kawako saw with his own eyes that the Japanese soldier whom he had locked 180 meters away fell to the ground and rolled over. There was no movement after a minute, and no Japanese soldiers came to drag him away.

Statistics of battle results itself is a worldwide problem. The 80th Army's common identification method is: if the enemy does not move within a few minutes after being hit, and no one quickly drags it away, it is regarded as killed, otherwise it is regarded as wounded!

Killing the Japanese army on the first real battlefield was an honor for any recruit, but Kawako could not be happy. After losing five or six people in a row, the Japanese army had already reached less than 100 meters away from his position. area.

The Czech light machine guns started roaring as early as 150 meters away, otherwise the Japanese troops might have rushed to the position by now.

But the 3rd Squadron of the Four-Hong Regiment also heard loud gunfire, accompanied by continuous explosions. It was obviously difficult to get support from them.

You can only rely on yourself for everything.

"Brothers! Get your grenades ready. When the Japanese are forty or fifty meters away, follow my instructions and drop bombs to blow them back." Kawako was still calm and imitated his old squad leader in issuing military orders.

Although the independent regiment in southern Hebei lacked guns due to the rapid development of the army, they still had enough grenades. Each of his infantry squads was issued 4 grenades. This time, the superior ordered that each soldier be issued with 6 grenades. Increased number of grenades to .

Throw dozens of grenades, and you can kill a dozen little devils anyway!

Of course, the reason why Kawako could remain so calm was because the old squad leader Abacus told him that the most powerful mines in the Si Xing Regiment were not on the path blocking the march of the Japanese army, but in front of the defense line he deployed.

This was one of the reasons why he dared to fight hundreds of Japanese troops with just a few dozen people.

Even though it was hard for Kawako to believe from the beginning that a book-sized mine placed on the ground could become a magical weapon against the enemy, but at this moment he had no other way to resist the 40 that were attacking the position fiercely and surgingly. Several Japanese infantrymen.

Apart from the gun in his hand, he could only trust the green iron boxes scattered in the grass 50 meters in front of the position.
