................
More than 100 kilometers northeast of Datong, Jiucailing, and the Eighth Route Army Command.
This is a vast mountainous area, close to the remnants of the Taihang Mountains. Although the mountain is not very high, the trees on the mountain are dense and easy to hide. Liu Dazhu's command center is set up in this hidden place on the top of the mountain with dozens of miles in a radius and the highest mountain. There you can see dozens of miles in a radius. In the distance, a highway is winding along the valley and winding to Zhangjiakou one or two hundred kilometers away.
At this time, the sky gradually became darker, and the soldiers also entered the designated attack location. According to reliable information, the 10th Division of the Japanese invaders ahead was only 50 kilometers away.
At this time, a correspondent walked to Liu Dazhu and said loudly: "Team Chief Liu, the leader's telegram." After that, he handed the telegram in his hand to Liu Dazhu with both hands.
The leader mentioned by the correspondent must be Zhang Yunfei. Liu Dazhu took the telegram and looked carefully. It turned out that the telegram said that Liu Dazhu was asked to arrange for the soldiers to lay mines more than ten kilometers in front of the Jiucailing blocking position.
Seeing Zhang Yunfei's order, Liu Dazhu couldn't help but smile. Before Zhang Yunfei sent a telegram, Liu Dazhu planned to bury landmines ahead, because the newly produced landmines at the Huanglongxia Arsenal were too advanced and very useful.
Liu Dazhu, who knows the power and performance of this mine, has always wanted to use it to try it on the Japanese devils, but he didn't expect this opportunity to come.
According to the division commander, this kind of landmine is called anti-infantry landmine. This kind of landmine can be detonated remotely. Unlike ordinary landmines, it requires someone to step on it before it explodes. This kind of landmine, soldiers can use remote controls to detonate this kind of landmine by hundreds of meters away.
However, this kind of landmine is relatively bulky. The landmine contains two kilograms of tnt** and five hundred steel balls, and a remote control signal reception device, so each one weighs nearly ten kilograms, and each soldier can only bring two or three at a time.
Although it is bulky, this mine has an astonishing lethality. The explosion killing range can reach a radius of 50 meters. A large number of steel balls spread at a wide-angle fan range of 60 degrees; while the height is 2 to 3 meters. The longest range of its steel balls can even reach 200 meters, including a moderate killing range of about 100 meters.
Liu Dazhu, who received the order from Zhang Yunfei, immediately arranged an engineer company and an infantry company, and took hundreds of such anti-infantry mines to take advantage of the night to go to the front of the Jiucailing position to lay mines.
More than ten kilometers ahead of the Jicailing blocking position, the engineer company had already laid out hundreds of mines on the way the Japanese were about to march. These mines ranged from ten to twenty or thirty meters apart, and the length of the mined area stretched two or three kilometers long.
The soldiers who set up the thunder lurked in the bushes or woods four or five hundred meters away from both sides of the road. It is difficult to be discovered under the cover of the night. At this time, the soldiers are quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese.
After waiting for more than two hours, there were bursts of noise coming from the front, including the roar of trucks, the sound of horse hooves, and more of the sound of Japanese men walking.
"The little devil is here, everyone should pay attention and prepare for battle." The engineer company commander quickly whispered to everyone, and immediately everyone was fully focused and stared at the road several hundred meters ahead.
Since the Japanese's vehicles were on marching lights and the moon in the sky was still bright, everyone could still see the blurry sounds of Japanese in the distance. Seeing that the Japanese's vanguard were about to enter the minefield, the engineers responsible for remote control detonation adjusted the frequency of the remote control device in their hands and prepared to detonate at any time.
The Japanese were still ignorant of the danger ahead and continued to move forward at normal speed. After a while, about a squadron of Japanese infantry entered the front minefield.
The engineer responsible for detonation decisively pressed the button of the remote control. Seven or eight mines under the feet of the Japanese squadron were detonated, making a dull sound, and a large number of steel balls flew around. With such dense steel balls, no one of the Japanese squadrons could escape. They were shot by steel balls. Most of them were hit by more than a dozen or twenty steel balls, and died on the spot, and the few were also hit by three or five steel balls, lying on the ground, wailing miserably.
The Japanese behind saw someone touching a thunder in front of him, and immediately stopped moving forward. Several Japanese correspondents ran back quickly to inform their division commander Sasaki to come to the Ichi.
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army had buried landmines on its marching road, Sasaki arrived and ordered the engineers to clear the mines. Suddenly, dozens of Japanese engineers ran to the front with metal detectors to clear the mines.
Dozens of Japanese engineers passed by the infantry squadron that was being bombed. When they saw the Japanese wailing on the ground, most of them felt awe-in. They didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army's mines were so powerful that they all relied on flying steel balls to kill the enemy. It seemed that this was a new type of mine.
The Japanese engineer looked stern and began to detect landmines carefully. After a while, a Japanese engineer discovered a landmine. The Japanese engineer looked happy and lay on the ground to prepare for demining. When the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the distance saw this scene, they immediately adjusted the remote control frequency and detonated the landmine.
With a "boom", the Japanese engineer who was preparing to clear the mine was directly killed. More than a dozen Japanese engineers next to him were also in trouble. They were shot by steel balls and lying on the ground to wail.
The remaining Japanese engineers were frightened and their mines were more cautious. The speed of mine removal was also slower. After half an hour, they had not advanced more than twenty meters before they advanced. Two mines were found. Next to the two mines that were discovered, the Japanese engineers planted a small flag.
Until now, the Japanese engineers did not expect that the mines buried by the Eighth Route Army were remote-controlled mines. They thought they were trigger mines, and believed that as long as they were not stepped on, they would not explode.
When the Eighth Route Army in the distance saw this scene, they were not in a hurry to detonate. Anyway, the purpose of burying landmines was to consume the Japanese's time. They waited until the Japanese engineers' mines were detonated by dozens of meters and four or five mines were discovered. The Eighth Route Army soldiers in the distance detonated these mines.
With the "boom, bang" several loud bangs, all the Japanese engineers were blown to the ground. Several Japanese engineers had their faces shredded with steel balls. They held their faces tightly with their hands, rolling around on the ground, rolling in pain.
The Japanese division commander, when he learned that all the engineers he sent were killed and injured by the landmines of the Eighth Route Army, was furious and immediately sent all the engineers out to eliminate the hateful landmines of the Eighth Route Army.
With the lessons of the past, the more than 100 Japanese engineers were even more careful when placing mines, but they were still bombed by the Eighth Route Army several times. By dawn, these Japanese engineers were basically killed and injured, and the Japanese troops only advanced less than a kilometer.
