The Japanese who went south from Heshun direction appeared in Liu Gen and others' sight. These Japanese were wearing yellow military uniforms and were moving forward neatly. I think they had a lot of training on weekdays.

There are about 700 Japanese soldiers in a brigade. These Japanese soldiers are Japanese stationed in Heshun County, with a whole brigade. Generally speaking, the garrison in the Japanese county is just a small team, and the county towns that are arranged in a squadron are all counties that Japanese special forces attach importance to. If Heshun County can have a brigade of reinforcements, it is believed that the Japanese from the strongholds around Heshun County should have been drawn, otherwise there would be so many Japanese.

Looking at these Japanese from afar, you can see that these Japanese did not carry too many heavy weapons. In order to support the Liao County County as soon as possible, the Japanese who went south from Heshun chose to move forward lightly to ensure that they could support the Liao County County as quickly as possible.

Liu Gen was relieved to notice this. If these Japanese were still carrying a large number of heavy weapons, it would undoubtedly be impossible to successfully resist the steps of these Japanese in the state of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment. And the Japanese equipment we see now can still be done to resist the steps of these Japanese advances.

boom

The Japanese who were advancing quickly dispersed. An unlucky Japanese stepped on a landmine. The mine was not lethal, but it brought some chaos to the Japanese. After the Japanese carefully observed, they could not find the Eighth Route Army soldiers hiding behind the positions. The positions were disguised by the soldiers in order to be discovered by the Japanese as much as possible.

The traces of the Eighth Route Army were not found. The Japanese light machine guns were fired around, and they wanted to find the traces of the Eighth Route Army in this way, but when they were firing over, they still couldn't find any abnormality.

On the small hill behind the position, through a telescope, Liu Gen could see the Japanese gathering together and continue moving forward. Looking at the advancing Japanese, Liu Gen waited for the mine explosion to sound again. He knew that in order to delay the Japanese as much as possible, the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment buried the mines to a place 500 meters away from the position.

Of course, since the 727th Regiment does not have many mines, the farther away from the position, the fewer mines will be buried. But no matter how few mines are, so many people pass by the Japanese, it will definitely be inevitably detonated by the Japanese.

boom

The sound of mine explosion sounded again, causing the Japanese to stagnate and step on a mine again, making the Japanese realize that these mines were not a coincidence, which means that these mines must have been buried by the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese did not have the idea of ​​rushing up to the hillsides on both sides. First, they could not determine whether the Eighth Route Army was on the hillsides on both sides. Second, because the hillsides were still a certain distance from the road, if they really rushed to the hillsides on both sides, it would undoubtedly affect their speed of supporting the Liao County County.

The company commander, the Japanese began to clear mines. Zhang Qiang said with some concern when he saw the Japanese sending engineers to start clearing mines.

Liu Gen glanced at the demining Japanese demining and laughed. Don’t worry, if the demining Japanese demining, let them demining them. We have enough time for them to demining.

Hearing Liu Gen's words, Zhang Qiang was slightly stunned, not understanding why Liu Gen said this. But soon Zhang Qiang understood that this time they came to delay the Japanese's progress, not to destroy these Japanese, so naturally they didn't have to pay attention to the Japanese's mine clearance.

Company Commander, how long does it take for these Japanese to clear the mines? Zhang Qiang couldn't help asking.

Liu Gen thought for a moment, it would take at least two hours. Don’t worry, our artillery company was the last to take action. After finding the Japanese artillery, choose to take action and wait patiently.

Zhang Qiang nodded. He stopped talking, but just kept staring at the Japanese demining.

None of the other soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment had the idea of ​​shooting. They all patiently watched the Japanese clear mines and could use landmines to delay the Japanese's progress. The soldiers were still very willing to do so.

Both Li Yunlong and Captain Cheng looked plain and did not take the Japanese mine clearance at all. They wished that Japanese could spend more time on mine clearance. With the time for Japanese mine clearance, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment could also rest for a while and restore their energy.

Time is slowly lost, and the Japanese demining speed is not fast. The soldiers in the 772nd Regiment are all good players. They know where to bury the mines and are the most difficult to find. It is also because of this that the Japanese demining speed will not be too fast.

boom

A Japanese engineer made a mistake and the mines exploded, killing the Japanese engineers directly. Even the portable miner they carried was blown off and could not be used. The loud explosion made other Japanese engineers lie on the ground quickly to avoid being hurt by the mine explosion.

The Japanese engineers did not lie on the ground for too long, but were ordered by the Japanese captain behind them to continue to clear mines. This time, the Japanese engineers became more cautious and the speed of clearing mines became slower.

Damn! When will these Japanese be queued up? Li Yunlong looked up at the sun in the air and said impatiently.

The monk glanced at Li Yunlong and didn't say anything. He didn't like such a battle very much. It was a little unhappy. If the monk had to command the battle, he might have brought the soldiers to fight with the Japanese.

Commander, these Japanese have been clearing mines for too long. Why would I take my brothers and shoot a few shots? The monk said.

Li Yunlong glared at the monk fiercely, "Damn it, this is not what is the battle in war, it is not about eliminating these Japanese soldiers. Besides, with the current strength of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment, it is impossible to destroy this Japanese infantry brigade. Li Yunlong was a little impatient, but he was not a fool, and he could control his emotions."

Can you delay the Japanese advance without fighting? Where can you find such a good thing? Li Yunlong knocked on the monk's shoulder and told him not to worry.

Monk, don’t worry, when the Japanese come up, you will be indispensable to the battle. Seeing that the monk is a little unhappy, Li Yunlong had to say this. This time the monk smiled with satisfaction. He looked at the Japanese with some expectations, hoping that the Japanese can come up quickly.

Two hours later, the Japanese discovered the positions arranged by the Eighth Route Army. It was normal that the distance was too far before and it was not discovered. Now the Japanese are less than 200 meters away from the positions, so how could it be impossible to find the positions of the Eighth Route Army? As soon as they discovered the positions of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese decisively mobilized the grenade launcher they carried and launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army.

But the Japanese artillery did not act. It may be because they carried not many shells and needed to save some use. The Japanese grenade launcher was still very good, but the power was not very strong. With the soldiers being prepared for a long time, the Japanese grenade launcher did not bring too much casualties to the soldiers.

The Japanese captain saw that the grenade launcher successfully suppressed the Eighth Route Army in the position and decisively ordered a small team of Japanese soldiers to rush towards the Eighth Route Army's position. The heavy machine guns were continuously fired to cover the attacking Japanese soldiers. However, before the Japanese soldiers could rush out a few steps, a mine explosion sounded and some Japanese soldiers stepped on the mine.

But even so, the Japanese team was still rushing forward frantically, trying to rush to the position of the Eighth Route Army.

In the position, a soldier from an independent regiment pulled the rope, and the mines that had been buried had exploded around the Japanese squad. This time, there was a series of mine explosions, successfully blowing up more than a dozen Japanese squads. By the time these Japanese fell to the ground, there was no sound.

Faced with so many landmines, the attacking Japanese squad had to choose to retreat. The distance they rushed out was not far, and it was still nearly 100 meters away from the Eighth Route Army's position. Needless to think about these Japanese, they knew that the Eighth Route Army had arranged a lot of landmines in front of the position.

Baga! Baga! Seeing that the infantry team he sent failed to attack, the Japanese brigade captain cursed angrily.

Soon, the Japanese captain thought of a way to crack the landmines of the Eighth Route Army. More than a dozen of Japanese grenade launchers opened fire again, and the grenades fell in front of the Eighth Route Army's positions and exploded. Under the baptism of the Japanese artillery shells, the mine array arranged by the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment in front of the positions was directly broken.

The Japanese, the reaction is still very fast. The monk is ready. The Japanese are about to come. Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and explained to the monk beside him.

The monk nodded vigorously, holding a light machine gun in his hand. During the battle, he still likes weapons like light machine guns more. It is really good to use this to kill the Japanese! The reason why he can operate this light machine gun is because the monk's hit rate is not low when shooting with a light machine gun, otherwise even if the monk is powerful, Li Yunlong would not let him use a machine gun.

After all, a good machine gunner has a significant impact on combat.

Rush to the Eighth Route Army position! For His Majesty the Emperor! For the Great Japanese Empire! The Japanese captain mobilized the Japanese's emotions, and soon an infantry squadron rushed towards the Eighth Route Army position.
Chapter completed!
