I wanted to avenge the cavalry that had been fried into pieces or minced meat, but I didn't expect that I would be bombed like this just now. The mood of the cavalry corps captain can be imagined, but he gave the order to pursue him again.

When the remaining cavalry stopped rushing forward, the deadly explosion finally subsided, the road was filled with screams again. Even among these screams, there were many wailing sounds of war horses.

Seeing that the cavalry rushing in the front were not dead or injured, the cavalry behind did not dare to continue chasing. No one knew how long the minefield arranged by the Eighth Route Army was. If they did not drain the mines on the road, they probably would not dare to ride forward any further.

The Japanese infantry captain who was staying behind was undoubtedly a good-looking officer. He said at the right time: "Engineering Squadron, go to clear mines immediately. The infantry squadron immediately went to rescue and rescue our warriors.

The medical staff quickly stepped forward for bandage and treatment. In addition, notified the rear hospital to prepare for emergency treatment. If there are serious injuries, they will be sent to the rear hospital for surgical treatment as quickly as possible. Take action quickly!”

Looking at the face of the Cavalry Regiment Captain, who looked as if he had a stool, the infantry captain also issued an order in time. The engineers who came to clear the mines also felt a little relieved when they saw the holes that were blown out on the road.

For them, they also encountered the Central Army’s landmines on the battlefield. But similar to today, the mine array is at least several hundred meters, and in addition to the middle of the road, mines are laid on both sides of the road.

Such mine laying methods also have great risks for engineers who clear mines. Once they hit the mine array, people who enter the minefield often will not have any good ending.

The most unlucky situation is that these cavalry had previously rushed forward at the speed of charge. The result was obvious, even if some cavalry wanted to strangle their horses and stop advancing, how could they stop in this case?

Looking at the miserable situation of some cavalry being trampled to death, these engineers and infantry who were rescued later felt very for no reason. If these cavalry hadn't rushed to the thunder in advance, they would probably have been bombed.

On the other hand, the scouts who were staying a few hundred meters in front of the minefield were very funny when they saw that they were chasing them. They could almost imagine what would happen if these Japanese cavalrymen entered the minefield.

This time, among the supplies they carried from Yulin, there were many mines. Even the small arsenals built in the Dabie Mountains can produce mines and bullets needed by reloading troops.

According to the plan determined by He Zhengdao when he came, this arsenal opened in the Dabie Mountains is more engaged in the repair of guns and the production of some simple ammunition. As for landmines, He Zhengdao also hopes to be distributed to various guerrilla brigades in the future.

As long as these guerrillas are taught how to use mines correctly, He Zhengdao believes that the guerrilla brigade with these mines can also deal with the Japanese. To some extent, it can even shock the Japanese who often robbed villages.

Seeing the Japanese engineers starting to clear mines, several reconnaissance team members immediately said: "Is it more difficult for them to clear mines?"

‘Okay, at such a long distance, as long as we are careful, there should be no danger. As long as the Japanese cannon bombard us, we will leave. If they don’t bombard us, we will shoot their minesweeper.’

After several people discussed, except for the sniper who stopped six hundred meters away, the other scouts leaned forward a little. They knew very well that if the cavalry stepped on it like this, there was actually not much minefield left.

If you shoot these engineers, you will undoubtedly gain some time. This will not only eliminate some Japanese devils, but also gain valuable time for the evacuated troops in the rear.

After all, the later the Japanese arrived at the blocking positions set up in the Fifth War Zone, the blocking troops that were building fortifications would have more time to strengthen their fortifications and defensive forces, and could delay the Japanese army's entry into Wuhan.

As several scouts touched about two hundred meters away from the engineers, they stopped. When the squad leader led the team was ordered, each of these scouts was responsible for one, and almost at the same time pulled the trigger in their hands.

After a few gunshots, several engineers who were clearing mines in the front fell to the ground. One of the engineers was very unlucky. When they fell, they caught a buried mine in their heads.

The result was obvious that the mine was instantly detonated. Several engineers following him were also unfortunately hit by shrapnel and fell into a pool of blood. The gunshots and explosions also scared the Japanese infantry who were cleaning up the mess.

‘Baga! These damn Chinese troops, they dare to provoke them! The machine gun team drove them away!’

Along with a Japanese squadron leader who was responsible for collecting corpses, he heard that the gunfire was not dense, and he knew that these scouts were hiding in the mountains and shooting the mine-sweeping engineers. If firepower covers and suppresses them, the engineers would not be able to concentrate on mine-sweeping.

After firing a few bullets, looking at the Japanese machine gunner who rushed to support him in a fierce manner, the reconnaissance team leader also said wisely: "Okay! Let's withdraw, the Japanese reinforcements are here, let our sniper kill them!"

There was no need for the captain to give instructions. Seeing these Japanese who were erecting machine guns and snipers who had been looking for sniper targets, they began to name and shoot six hundred meters away. These Japanese Japanese who were erecting machine guns were quickly killed one by one.

‘Baga, go, take our mortar over and kill that damn sniper!’

It seems that we know that the snipers are hiding outside the range of their machine guns, rifles, and even grenade launchers. If we don’t bring the mortars over, we will happily drive away these scouts who are like wolves and who will pounce on them when they see the benefits.

As the Japanese mortar team was in place, the sniper decisively collected their guns and left. After firing like this, no matter how hard it was, they could waste about half an hour of the Japanese. They already thought it was very good to be able to earn half an hour.

Through the telescope, looking at the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance squadron starting to run along the hillside, the Japanese squadron leader who was commanding the battle said in a furious manner: "Coward, are you still soldiers? How can you escape without fighting?"

The reconnaissance team that had accelerated their retreat naturally ignored the squadron leader's angrily rebuked. Even if they heard this, the scouts would probably say to the squadron leader, "If you don't leave now, you're stupid."

The result was obvious that the Japanese squadron, which had lost more than a dozen engineers and infantry, dragged the mortar over and fired only two guns, and the squadron leader ordered the squadron to stop the shelling. The reason was very simple, and the reconnaissance squadron had disappeared from his sight.

But even so, the infantry squadron leader still ordered the mortar team to be left in the squadron. Once these Eighth Route Army reconnaissance squadrons returned, he would not have been able to let the other party find an opportunity to shoot their cold guns.

The reorganized engineers quickly eliminated the remaining mines on the road. What made the cavalry corps captain vomit blood was that the engineers did not discharge many mines. As long as their cavalry fought again before, they would probably break through the mine formation.

They were just worried that the mine formation was very long, so they stopped chasing. If they chased at this time, they probably wouldn't be able to catch up with the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance troops that were already slapped in their feet. This situation will be staged one after another.

Qiu Jingshan, who returned to the rear of the 77th Army to rest and recuperate, was also highly praised by Feng Zhian. But at the same time, Feng Zhian also learned about the situation on the front line from the reconnaissance forces of the military headquarters.

Feng Zhian also felt embarrassed that the troops failed to retreat as planned and almost became chased by the Japanese along the way. He knew very well that this time he really entrusted He Zhengdao's blessing to save their 77th Army's face.

If it really forms a situation of defeat, the 77th Army, which was just commended by the State Government, will be greatly embarrassed once. If it is spread, many people will probably wonder how their previous victory came about.

Thinking of this, Feng Zhian also said in time: "Staff Officer Qiu, if you have the opportunity, please ask me to see when it will be convenient for Chief He. I want to visit him in person. This time, it's really thanks to them."

‘Military, I will convey your greetings. However, I really don’t know if Commander He has time. I heard that the Japanese air strikes in the previous episode caused considerable losses to the Sixty-Seventh Army.

This time he came to help us, and he also asked the Japanese to retaliate. Although we had lost a lot of troops before, during the pursuit, the Japanese were afraid that they would suffer more casualties than us. To be honest, we also made a profit!’

‘Yes! It’s worthy of being the old foundation of the Eighth Route Army’s Independent Division. It seems that if we have the opportunity, we really need to learn skills and tactics from them. Can you tell your superiors about how to choose military instructors from the army commander who is the army?’

Thinking of Qiu Jingshan and others, although they are all outstanding military and political cadres of the Eighth Route Army, in Feng Zhian's opinion, these scouts who helped them block the Japanese are the real battlefield elites, and their individual combat skills are really strong.

If such an elite reconnaissance force could be trained in his military headquarters, it would also play an important role in their future battle with the Japanese. For this reason, Feng Zhian also took the initiative to propose that the Eighth Route Army could send instructors.

Qiu Jingshan was naturally optimistic about such an invitation, but he still said, "Military, I still need to ask my superiors for this matter! However, as far as I know, our other main divisions liked Commander He's subordinates very much.

The troops that assisted us in the fight against each other this time were all elite troops trained by Commander He, and each of them had excellent military qualities. If the troops were sent, they could basically serve as combat officers.

It is probably a bit difficult to dig out these people from Commander He to be instructors. However, given that we are friendly forces now, Commander He may be worthy of giving up some instructors to us!"
