I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 62 Continue to procrastinate
"Battalion Commander, what should we do next? The devils are coming soon." The soldier looked at Zhang Dabiao, his eyes filled with worry.

The flames burning in the position only delayed the devils for half an hour, and they could see the devils gathering again, making preparations for the battle.In the next battle, if you want to continue to delay the devil's footsteps, you need the soldiers to fight harder.

"Don't worry, isn't there a minefield we set up over there? Besides, besides the minefield, we still have traps set up. Don't worry, it will be noon soon. As long as we can repel the devil's attack this time, then You can rest for a while." Zhang Dabiao glanced at the sun in the sky, and said in a deep voice.

The soldier nodded, staying beside Zhang Dabiao, the battalion commander, he could feel a sense of security.The soldiers admired the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao very much, and he knew a lot of the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao's brilliant achievements from other veterans.

Ten minutes later, the devils rushed towards the woods in a triangular formation, and they could be seen to be very vigilant.Once there is any abnormality and the Eighth Route Army is found, these devils will shoot decisively.The leader of the devil squadron in charge stood on the original position of the first battalion, with three mortars behind him.

These three mortars were specially requested by the squadron leader from the rear, in order to suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army and defeat the Eighth Route Army that blocked the advance of the team as soon as possible.Looking at the mountain forest without any movement, the squadron leader looked serious, he could imagine that the Eighth Route Army would definitely not leave easily.

The squadron leader was a little puzzled. As far as he knew, there were no Eighth Route Army troops with such strong firepower in the surrounding area of ​​Lin County.The battle with this Eighth Route Army unit made the squadron leader feel a little bit of pressure. The enemy's combat intention was obvious, in order to delay their advance.

"boom"

A landmine was stepped on by an advancing devil, and the devil was directly blown away. When it landed, there was no complete body to be seen.The devils quickly dispersed and prepared for battle on the spot, and soon special engineers came to clear the mines.

"Battalion Commander, do you want to kill these devil's engineers?" Looking at Zhang Dabiao, the soldier beside him asked.

Zhang Dabiao shook his head. The mountains and forests are beneficial to the soldiers of the Xinyi Regiment, but it is not because of this that he chooses to attack these devil's engineers rashly.The engineers who attacked the devils for the first time were fine, but if the devils were on guard, they would easily suffer certain casualties if they chose to do so again.

"Don't worry, let them line up, we don't just arrange mines." Zhang Dabiao laughed.

The devil's engineers were slowly advancing with mine detectors. The area they detected was not large, and they only needed to accommodate the devil's soldiers to continue moving forward.Detecting too many areas would waste too much time, but the squadron leader had issued a military order to complete the cleaning of Gedonggou Mountain today.

"puff"

The ghost engineer who was walking in the front suddenly sank, and he fell into a trap covered with wooden thorns. There was a scream of pain, and several wooden thorns directly pierced the soles of the engineer's feet.And because the body suddenly sank, the devil couldn't react, and his body fell directly on the wooden thorns, and the wooden thorns penetrated into the devil's body, and blood kept gushing out.The engineer was struggling subconsciously because of the pain, but the more he struggled, the more painful he was.

The engineers looked at the comrade who had fallen into the trap, feeling a little apprehensive. It was true that they had mine detectors in their hands, but the mine detectors could not help them detect where there was a trap.The engineers continued to move forward under the urging of the team leader, and there would be ghost soldiers behind to rescue the engineers who had fallen into the trap.

When they were rescued, the engineers kept moaning in pain, which made the devil's engineers, who were not advancing fast, slow down again.

With the existence of mine detectors, the devil's engineers quickly found several places where there were mines, walked away from a certain distance, and detonated the mines directly with grenades. Manual demining was too dangerous and a waste of time.A few grenades went down, and the mines planted by a battalion of soldiers were directly detonated.

"Battalion Commander, if the devils continue like this, the mines we planted will be exhausted soon." The soldier looked at the mines detonated by the devils' engineers, and couldn't help but said again.

Zhang Dabiao shook his head, "Don't worry, at the speed of the devil's engineers, it will take some time to clear a safe path."

"Besides, there are still landmines in the surrounding area. When the devils walk on this road, we will shoot again to force the devils to disperse."

The soldiers of the first battalion were hiding patiently, and the veterans wiped the rifles in their hands to relieve the pressure on the battlefield.After a battle, the recruits have also improved a lot. They are no longer so rough, and they are also cleaning the rifles in their hands like the veterans. The whole first battalion maintains a sufficiently quiet atmosphere.

Half an hour later, the devils were less than 400 meters away from the soldiers of the first battalion. Explosions sounded from time to time, and the devils were detonating the mines planted by the soldiers of the first battalion.As the distance of the devils continued to shrink, the soldiers became a little nervous, and soon they would fight these devils again.

Watching the devil's engineers continue to advance, Zhang Dabiao directly ordered the soldiers in the first battalion with good shooting skills to shoot, and followed him to destroy the devil's engineers.Zhang Dabiao didn't care about the landmines that the devil's engineers cleared before, but the remaining landmines had to deal with the devil's charge. Zhang Dabiao would not let the devil's engineers continue to play a role.

"Hit!" Zhang Dabiao shouted.

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dabiao pulled the trigger of the rifle, and the bullet hit a devil engineer directly in the eye, piercing his head directly.Other soldiers also shot one after another, but at a distance of 400 meters, the devil's helmet still had some effect, and two or three engineers survived by luck.

The remaining engineers got down decisively and faced the shooting of the Eighth Route Army. If they chose to retreat, they would undoubtedly still be at risk of being killed.The ghost soldiers who were not far behind the engineer reacted and started shooting one after another. A large number of bullets flew towards the position of the first battalion.

The distance of 400 meters made it difficult for the devils to hit the soldiers of the first battalion. Their shooting skills were good, but not so good that everyone was a sharpshooter.Occasionally, some soldiers were unfortunately hit by the devil's stray bullets, but they did not threaten their lives.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The devil's mortar locked on the area where the first battalion was located, and immediately started shelling. At the same time, the devil's infantry artillery also turned on the artillery support mode again at the request of the squadron leader!

In a short period of time, several shells fell towards the position of the first battalion. The soldiers curled up their bodies to avoid being attacked by the shells as much as possible.Probably because the devils hated the soldiers of the first battalion for delaying them for too long, the shelling of the devils lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and the area where the first battalion was located was almost completely bombed.

"Genzi, brother can only do this. I hope your artillery company can really play a role." After the shelling ended, Zhang Dabiao shook his head vigorously to wake himself up.
