Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 84: Change the route to the sky
boom!
An explosion came from not far away, and the Japs lay down one after another and began to alert the surroundings.

A few clever Japs quickly rushed behind several nearby bunkers, but then discovered that something was wrong with their feet.

boom!
Several more bodies were thrown into the sky.

After a while, when there was no movement nearby, a few Japanese soldiers nearby took the courage to drag the corpses and wounded back, and began to check the road ahead.

"Report to the team leader that a minefield has been found ahead. The mines are densely buried. The specific range is being explored."

The captain waved his hand: "Let the engineering soldiers clear the mines and clear the way. The rest of the people spread their guard and don't let the engineering soldiers use their guns on the eighth route!"

After being beaten too many times, the Japanese naturally came up with a plan to deal with them.For example, we need to prevent the illegal weapons of the Eighth Route Army Engineers. This is obviously a truth gained at the cost of blood.

However, things in this world have never been about paying a price and gaining experience, so that you will not suffer losses again in the future.On the contrary, it will find ways to make you suffer.

Just like the Japs at this moment, they never imagined that even though they had done their best, they were still unable to deal with the Eighth Route Army's increasingly sophisticated tactics.

"Hey, the platoon leader's positioning is really accurate!"

Just as the Japanese engineers stepped into the minefield with a minesweeper on their backs and worked hard to clear the mines, a mortar team was looking at the Japanese parked on the road 700 meters away. His smile was like an old farmer seeing his crops ripe.

"No. [-] artillery position, fire quickly, use up the box of shells you brought! Then immediately move to No. [-] position."

"Yes!"

The shells were loaded with fuses one by one, passed to the gunner's hands, and then loaded into the mortar's mouth.

"That is……"

Many Japanese soldiers discovered this little black dot falling from the sky.However, before they could give any warning, the shells fell one after another on the heads of the engineers who were clearing mines.

boom!boom! ...

After an explosion, the dust and smoke gradually dispersed.The Japanese soldiers looked up and saw that all the engineers who were clearing mines had fallen down.Some were already dead and lying motionless on the ground, while others were still breathing and moaning on the ground.

The Japanese captain looked at the tragic scene in front of him and shouted angrily: "Baga! Damn the Eighth Route Army!"

He thought that the Eighth Route Army would attack the engineers, but he never expected that this time the Eighth Route Army would directly use the artillery!

The black gun can barely defend against it. No matter how accurate the eight-way marksmanship is, it can only be fired at a distance of 300 meters. Any further away is a waste of bullets.At this distance, as long as the troops spread their guard, once the Eighth Route Army fires and exposes their position, it will be a cat and mouse game.

But Pao is another story.Not to mention anything else, the 60mm mortar alone can hit three or four miles.This is on the march and not in a permanent fortification. How can we guard against it?

"Continue to clear mines! The infantry is looking for eight-way artillery positions!"

If you can't guard against it, then don't guard against it.The Eighth Route Army is notorious for its lack of ammunition. If the Eighth Route Army has the ability to fire a few more cannons, it will reduce the pressure on subsequent operations.

After making this decision, the captain felt a little more relaxed.Soon, another team of engineers came to the front of the team.

"This little devil, how come you only remember to eat but not to fight?"

At position No. [-], the artillery crew once again emptied a box of shells, and then moved away again.

The effect of this shelling was not as good as the first round. The two injured engineers rolled and crawled back.

This mine did not displace much, and the engineers lost two groups first.Not only the Japs captain felt uncomfortable, but also the ordinary Japs soldiers were affected.Morale dropped visibly.

"report!"

A Japanese soldier came to the captain: "The locations marked by engineers have been dug up, and they are not mines!" "Not mines?"

"Yes! The Eighth Route Army buried iron cans in the soil, and the minesweeper detected the metal, so it gave a false alarm!"

The Japs' minesweepers are essentially metal detectors, so as long as the metal is properly controlled, the Japs' minesweepers can be disabled.

This time, Li Yunlong specifically instructed that this minefield was aimed at the Japanese minesweepers.

"Baga! I was actually deceived by the Eighth Route Army!" The captain's blood surged, and his face almost turned the color of pig liver: "Then why are you hesitating? Order the troops to move forward!"

"Yes!"

As the order was issued, the Japanese moved forward again.The artillery crew in the distance looked at the advancing Japanese soldiers, and several soldiers laughed out loud.

"How dare they leave!"

"Perhaps the Japanese haven't realized that once they know the principle of their minesweeper, they can do more than just make the minesweeper false alarm. They can also blind the minesweeper."

As if to confirm the soldier's words, a huge explosion sounded, and the Japs who had just gotten up from the ground and walked for a while fell down again.

"Baga! What's going on? Didn't you say the mine field was fake?" The captain stared at the Japs running towards him.

"Report to the captain that the Eighth Route Army used clay pots to hold explosives and did not use cast iron mines. Our minesweeper did not find it..."

"Baga, what use do I have to this heavy minesweeper!" The captain pulled out the command knife from his waist and slashed several times at an unlucky short tree on the side of the road.

Then, he called his adjutant and staff: "Here is the map. Is there any other way?"

The adjutant spread out the map: "We have already confirmed the road with only a thin line of sky."

"Only a line of sky?" The captain's face turned gloomy: "That means that the Eight Route Directions are asking us to go to a line of sky? Where did they arrange an ambush?"

"It should be like this!"

The Japanese captain nodded, wiped his command knife, and put it in its sheath: "Let's go to the sky! I want to see how many Eighth Route Army soldiers dare to attack a large group of imperial troops!"

Isn't it a dangerous place?It's not like the Imperial Army has never seen dangerous areas before, so go take a look at the situation there.

The minefield in front of them was real and fake, and even the newly equipped minesweepers were useless.Let's clear mines. Let's not say how long it will take. The Eighth Route Army's cold artillery is a real threat.But I can't get through without clearing the mines, so I can only stare at the road.

No matter what arrangements there are on the Eighth Route on the other side of the sky, one thing is certain, it will definitely be better than wasting time here.

Their purpose was to support the POW camp, and of course the sooner the better.

Soon, the Japs began to form a team and retreat in an orderly manner.On the hilltop not far away, two scouts smiled.

"This group of devils are quite tough. They were bumped several times before they were willing to shrink back!"

"A total of more than a dozen people were killed or wounded. It's useless, so I have to bite the hook obediently."

"Let's go find the battalion commander!"

The two soldiers held their guns and rushed towards the ambush position of the First Line Queen.
