Chapter 455: Death mines, shelling!(1/2)
At this moment, the Japanese flag-bearing soldiers stood in front of the queue, holding two mini flags in both hands.
He made a cross signal, pointed the flags forward with both hands at the same time, and issued a pursuit order towards the 2nd Infantry Battalion.
Directly ahead, the flag soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Battalion saw this and quickly responded with flag messages.
Immediately, the flag soldiers ran to the captain of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, paused and said: "Captain, the captain ordered our troops to pursue the enemy and prevent any of them from slipping through the net!"
The captain of the 2nd Infantry Battalion was a man with a violent personality. The 2nd Infantry Battalion had just fought against the Eighth Route Army for less than 5 minutes and had suffered at least 150 casualties.
When I heard the order at this moment, the flesh on my face twitched slightly, my eyes flashed with a sharp look, I raised the command knife in my hand and shouted: "Pursue!"
Behind him, hundreds of Japanese soldiers held rifles and chased the 2nd regiment one after another.
The Japanese who were making circuitous turns on the left and right merged with the 2nd Infantry Brigade. More than a thousand Japanese were chasing them all over the mountains and fields, showing their arrogant and fierce nature.
However, the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment performed extremely well and ran around without hesitation. Some soldiers even dropped their rifles during the escape.
Putting on a posture of abandoning his armor, Ichiro Banishi saw this scene through the telescope, and couldn't help but show a proud look on his face.
After reading it, Norimasa Morita couldn't help but doubt his life. Could it be that his guess and intuition were wrong?
A smile appeared on Banishi Kazuo's face: "Morita-kun, did you see that the Eighth Route Army is not as difficult to deal with as you thought? A main force group encountered our 225th Regiment and was defeated in less than half an hour!"
At this point, Norimasa Morita couldn't continue to be tough: "Captain, I admit that I made a mistake in my judgment. I imagined the Eighth Route Army to be too cunning. From the current point of view, they are nothing more than this!"
Banishi Yiliang nodded with satisfaction: "In the face of absolute strength and superiority, any conspiracy is in vain. The war between two countries depends on the country's comprehensive strength. China is just a backward agricultural country.
, and we have already achieved industrialization, it is only a matter of time before China is annexed by the Empire of Japan!"
Norimasa Morita echoed: "Come on, captain!"
Banishi Kazuo said: "Morita-kun, please immediately draft a message and order the communication team to report to Commander Iwamatsu and the division commander, saying that the 225th Regiment encountered a main force group of the Eighth Route Army in Shipan, and a fierce battle took place in less than half an hour.
, it has been defeated.”
Saying that, Ichiro Banishi picked up the telescope and looked at it again. The distance between the 2nd Infantry Battalion, the 5th and 6th Squadrons and the Eighth Route Army was getting closer and closer.
It won't take long for the imperial soldiers to catch up with the main group of the Eighth Route Army and eat them in one go.
"No!" Banishi Kazuo changed the topic, "Instead, we have wiped them all out!"
"Hi!" Norimasa Morita took out his pen and notebook, quickly drafted a telegram, tore it off and handed it to the telegraph operator.
The Japanese telegraph operator immediately took it with both hands, then turned on the radio and started sending telegrams to the First Army Headquarters.
…
More than a thousand men from the 2nd Regiment of the Independent Brigade quickly ran across the minefield.
More than a thousand Japs were chasing after him at lightning speed, heading towards the minefield arrayed with more than 300 aerial bombs.
Originally, these more than 300 aerial bombs were intended to be reserved for a whole regiment of Japanese soldiers, but the Japanese only came with more than 1,000 people.
Waiting for the opportunity to detonate the aerial bomb is still the Wang Gensheng team of Langya Squadron. Each team member is responsible for an area and uses a wire detonator to detonate the bomb.
The location of each aerial bomb is carefully disguised and cannot be discovered without careful observation.
What's more, all the Japs in pursuit were focused on the Eighth Route Army in front, and no Japs were aware of the abnormality at their feet.
Seeing all the Japs entering the minefield, Wang Gensheng, who was buried in the sand a few hundred meters away with only his eyes exposed, did not hesitate to turn the detonator in his hand to the right and press it again.
The moment the detonator handle is pressed.
More than 40 100-kilogram-class aerial bombs exploded at the same moment, like heavy artillery and thunderous explosions in the vast sky, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains!
Boom boom boom...
In an area of several thousand square meters, the soil and gunpowder smoke raised by the aerial bombs rose into the sky, reaching a height of 100 meters!
It's like dozens of huge fountains of water suddenly bursting out of the mud!
If you look carefully, you will see broken limbs and red mist of blood rising into the sky.
Another team member saw a large number of Japanese soldiers entering the area he was responsible for, and the captain was the first to press the detonator, and he detonated the aerial bomb without hesitation.
Before the Japanese could figure out the situation, a booming explosion followed.
At this moment, it seemed as if the entire land was shaking like an earthquake!
About half a minute later, the scene completely fell silent, and the original minefield had turned into a crater as big as dozens of ponds.
The Japanese who rushed into the minefield seemed to disappear out of thin air, leaving nothing in sight.
Only the stumps and broken arms all over the ground, as well as the soil dyed red, proved that the Japanese had just arrived here.
With such a huge sound and air shock wave, the Japanese who were not killed on the spot by the aerial bomb were not spared. They were directly shocked to death, buried, and shocked to death.
Most of the Japanese were killed on the spot. Because the bombs were buried so densely, it was difficult to find even a complete body.
So scary!
Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment, who ran a few hundred meters away, were hit by the shock wave and almost fell down.
When the explosion ended and I looked back, everyone was dumbfounded. The more than a thousand Japanese who were chasing them were all gone.
Almost all were killed.
This battle was really enjoyable.
Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers looked excited.
If all the Japs were chasing after them, wouldn't all the Japs in the entire regiment be gone?
It wasn't until a minute or two later that a dozen or so Japanese soldiers were lucky enough to survive, like rats emerging from the soil.
These devils all looked at the hell-like scene in front of them with blank expressions.
I was confused, everyone was confused.
He was stunned on the spot and didn't know what to do.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The ears of the Japanese who survived were almost deafened, and their noses and mouths were full of blood.
Seeing the Japs emerging from the mud, Zhang Dabiao led the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment to immediately kill them.
But before the 2nd Regiment could rush in, the members of the Wolf Fang Squadron who were ambushing on one side had already set up their rifles.
With every gunshot, a Japanese soldier fell down with a muffled groan, his bullets piercing the Yangtze with a hundred steps, and every shot hitting the target.
At the location of the main force of the Japs, Kazuo Sakanishi, who had just proudly ordered the telegraph operator to send the telegram, was about to give the order to advance.
He then heard an earth-shattering explosion, Morita Norimasa also heard the explosion, and the remaining Japs No. 2000 heard the explosion.
The explosion was so sudden and so loud.
Including the remaining Japanese, even the mules and horses of the transport team were severely startled by the sudden loud explosion.
Listen to the huge explosion.
The two men quickly picked up their telescopes and looked, but the 2nd Infantry Battalion had already rushed out of the line, and they could only see half of the sky rising into the sky.
The direction in which the smoke was rising was exactly where the 2nd Infantry Battalion was pursuing.
The expressions of Ichirō Sakanishi and Norimasa Morita changed drastically at the same time.
Something happened to the 2nd Infantry Battalion!
After a while, a Japanese scout came hurriedly on horseback. He dismounted and quickly saluted Banishi Ichiro: "Report to the captain, the 2nd Infantry Brigade, the 5th and 6th Squadrons are all broken into pieces!"
"Nani?" Ichirō Sakanishi looked in disbelief when he heard this. He didn't recover for a long time and muttered to himself, "Everything is broken?"
Morita Norimasa's face was gloomy: "What happened to the pursuit force?"
The Japanese scout paused and said, "I don't know very well either. The pursuing troops seemed to have entered a minefield, and then there was a violent explosion!"
Banishi Yiliang scolded: "Baga, what kind of landmine is so powerful that it can kill more than 1,300 imperial troops?"
Morita Norimasa seemed to have thought of something, his face changed again, and he said in a deep voice: "Captain, this may not be a landmine, but an aerial bomb dozens of times more powerful than a landmine!"
Ichirō Banishi was shocked: "Aerial bomb?"
Morita Norizheng's face was gloomy and his tone was firm: "Yes, it should be a mine modified by the Eighth Route Army with an aerial bomb!"
Ichiro Banishi was stunned: "Baga, is it an aerial bomb or a landmine?"
Morita Norimasa asked: "Does the commander of the regiment still remember that the entire 132nd Regiment of the 37th Division was shattered?"
"Of course I remember!" Ichirō Sakanishi said in a gloomy tone, "Captain Imai-kun of the 132nd Regiment is my good friend. What do you mean..."
Morita Norimasa said: "Yes, judging from the sound of the explosion, at least dozens of powerful aerial bombs exploded at the same time to make such a noise. This method is exactly the same as that of the 132nd Regiment. It is recommended that we immediately withdraw to Heshun and Liao County.
!”
"Retreat?" Ichirō Sakanishi asked, "Don't you know the consequences of retreating without authorization?"
"I know..." Morita Norimasa said, "But some time ago, the Eighth Route Army robbed military columns and took away at least more than 400 aerial bombs. There may be landmines modified from aerial bombs waiting for us ahead!"
Ichiroshi Sakanishi also felt regretful at this time. If he had known earlier, he would have listened to Morita Norimasa's advice and not allowed the 2nd Infantry Battalion to pursue the attack.
Now that I think about it, I have indeed fallen into the trap of the Eighth Route Army, but it is too late to regret it now.
Just when Ichirō Bannishi was pondering whether to retreat or continue to rush to the aid of the 9th Brigade.
At an inconspicuous earthbag about one kilometer away, Chen Feng had already notified the artillery group of the enemy's shelling coordinates via radio.
