Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 130 Applying Mines
"Have you learned everything?" The militia captain straightened up, holding a shovel in one hand and covering his waist with the other. His eyes scanned the surrounding militiamen who were watching and learning.He just demonstrated how to transform a pull mine into a trip mine.

After receiving the news of the Japanese and puppet troops' raids, the militiamen quickly came up with a response plan - sending correspondents to contact the districts and counties to call for reinforcements. A small group of people would slow down the advance of the Japanese, while the rest would escort the people to move and lay traps. Slowing down the enemy's pace while causing some damage to the opponent.

This is the standard plan for the base area to deal with Japanese raids.The militiamen were responsible for protecting the people and holding back the Japanese. The county brigades and district squads concentrated their efforts on attacking small groups of enemies and forcing them to band together or leave.

But this time, with the addition of the main force and the strengthening of materials and equipment, it is still different from before.

For example, for the team sent to delay the Japanese's illegal shooting, in the past, they could just listen to a few sounds and frighten the Japanese, which was good, but they didn't even dare to think of any results.But now that there is sufficient ammunition and the shooters are trained warriors with excellent marksmanship, the combat effect is much stronger than before.

Another example is that the team responsible for installing traps used to have insufficient supplies, and even hunting traps had to be used temporarily to replenish the supply. Now they have received support and obtained some standard mines manufactured by arsenals. Although they are not too powerful, they are still You can do some new things.

"Got it!" Several new members of the militia team responded.

The conversion between pulling thunder, tripping and releasing thunder is not difficult in the first place. It is one of the basic skills of the militiamen, and they have practiced it when they joined.Although the standard mines have been changed now, the principle is still the same and it is not that difficult.Therefore, the captain only demonstrated it once before letting the militiamen start their own operations with confidence.

"The Japs have come from afar, and we have to do our best to be landlords. You guys will lay mine arrays on the only way to go, and use all the good things brought by the new regiment comrades, so that the Japs can also try new dishes!"

Following the captain's order, most of the militiamen carried shovels and carried the standard mines brought by the new regiment, and walked out with smiles on their faces.Although the standard mines made in the base area are somewhat stingy in terms of explosive charge, they are still stronger than the mines produced by several surrounding villages.

"In addition, our superiors have repeatedly emphasized the use of mines, and we must also use our own things. You two have hung up all the mines in the village. I want to see if the Japanese are picky!"

"Yes!"

The two militiamen quickly ran back to the village and began to activate the village's "defense system."

The so-called applied landmines actually refer to landmines made by each district and village using local materials.These landmines are all handmade by local militiamen and ordinary people. Due to material and workmanship problems, their power varies, and their quality varies.

If you have to look for some advantages, the only two advantages are that it is simple to make and easy to obtain materials.If a few people who know how to make it go around the villages, promote it for a few days, and demonstrate it a few times, all the villagers and soldiers will know how to do it, and they can be used on a large scale.

Although at first glance I don’t think the application of mines is very powerful, the good thing is that this thing is very suitable for guerrilla warfare.Before the rear of the mountain city realized the importance of landmines on the frontal battlefield, and when the output of landmines in the arsenal was still extremely low, landmines were already buried everywhere on the battlefield behind enemy lines.

Whenever the main force and militiamen in various places have the opportunity, they dig holes with hoes and shovels and bury mines in any location that the enemy can think of and never think of.The riverside where water is drawn, the marching road, the gate of the stronghold, the road into the village... Even in two years' time, after the gunpowder production in the base area increases, militiamen will send extra-large mines to the bottom of the gun towers through tunnels for free. The Japanese sent me a plane ticket, the kind that would fly with the turrets attached.

Moreover, the main ones who lay mines are local militiamen. When the main force lays mines, they will urgently notify nearby people or send people to guard them, without fear of hurting their own people.

"The rest of you, follow me." The militia captain gave a final greeting and took all the remaining militiamen away, leaving only the empty yard.

………………

The Japanese squad leader, who had an unhappy expression on his face, led two Japanese soldiers and walked up to the unlucky platoon leader: "Baga, you are so unlucky. You platoon, follow me and go forward to explore the way!" The unlucky platoon leader Of course, there is no need to say more about luck.He killed a Taijun, killed a cheap guy by a booby trap, and then took ten rounds of bullets from Li Daxi and two people, adding four more wounded.

Before seeing the Eighth Route Army, his platoon's casualties had already exceeded one-tenth, morale had dropped to freezing point, and even the other platoons of puppet troops had lost their will to fight.

This kind of team with extremely low morale really affects the combat effectiveness of the army.Therefore, when the Japanese squad leader was planning to go to the next village, he made an excuse and asked the squad leader to lead a few people and lead the platoon to explore the way forward, trying to temporarily separate this part of the puppet army that had suffered a huge blow from the main force. .As for the wounded, just follow them at the end of the team and take good care of them.If the wounded are left alone now, then this group of puppet troops will not be able to turn the tables.

As for the leader of the Japanese squad, that is even more sad.Other squad leaders can make decisions freely within the scope allowed by the plan, but he happened to be a squad leader.Now they are sent out to explore the road. This is not an easy job. Sweeping is not a tour. The danger is real. The Eighth Route Army must be watching secretly.

"Yes, yes." The puppet platoon leader laughed a few times, and then called on his soldiers to follow him, and to maintain the battle formation and not get too close to each other.

Soon, one of his platoons was far away from the main force. Although they could still see each other, the people had become the size of soybeans.The Japanese squad leader, who had been leading the way, suddenly slowed down and was gradually overtaken by the puppet platoon leader.

"Qidi, tell me, what insidious methods did Eighth Route Army use?"

"We..." The puppet platoon leader did not intend to conceal the specific process and began to describe it.The two of them talked and listened, and unknowingly walked several hundred meters further along the road.

Neither of them realized that with their luck, it would be impossible without problems.

boom!
There was a huge explosion ahead, and smoke and dust kicked up Lao Gao.With the experience of being blown up by a booby trap last time, the puppet troops performed extremely well this time. They immediately spread out to find bunkers and did not perform any blood pressure operations.

"What happened?" the puppet platoon leader asked loudly.

Soon, a reply came from the front: "Yang San'er stepped on a thunder, and everyone was blown up! I didn't see the Eighth Route, it should be a minefield!"

Upon hearing this answer, the two unlucky guys immediately put up masks of pain on their faces.

"Taijun, the mine clearance is too slow, which affects the marching speed. If the mines are cleared, we may not be able to reach the next village tonight. How about we climb up the hillside and go around?" the puppet platoon leader suggested. road.

"Okay, let your people go first. Be careful that the Eighth Route Army also lays mines around it, so as not to reduce the number of troops any more."

"Okay." The puppet platoon leader responded, and then moved forward cautiously.

The moment he turned around, a hint of gloom flashed in the eyes of the puppet platoon leader.This devil, he said it was a kind reminder, but in fact, didn't he still use them as cannon fodder and go forward to detect mines?

This kind of work was unconscionable and life-threatening. He really couldn't do it anymore.
