I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 562: Face the enemy head-on?

Seeing that the light was on in Chen Feng’s cave, Lu Feihu knocked on the door and entered the cave.

"Captain, ten ace pilots arrived three hours ago and have been arranged to rest in the cave at the airport."

"Is there any news about the New Fourth Division and the Guards Regiment?"

"No, but Li Yunyan came over to check once, and when she saw the lights in your room were off, she turned around and went back. There shouldn't be any major changes."

Chen Feng came to the communication room, where Li Yunyan and three communicators were monitoring. They were on night shift and could not rest until eight in the morning.

"Yunyan, is there any situation?"

"Captain, the New Fourth Division just sent a message saying that there are too many mines. They have blocked the northwest sides of the Japanese military camp. They are worried that the Japanese warships will force open the sea outlet to provide support. The New Fourth Division has buried more than 2,000 mines in the direction of the beach."

"Brother Shen is anxious! There are mines buried on the beach, and the waves will destroy the beach topography, which will be difficult to clean up after the war."

"The Guard Battalion just sent a telegram saying that after several hours of artillery bombardment, there was no obvious result, so the Lin Regiment ordered the artillery bombardment to be stopped."

Chen Feng nodded. It would be difficult to fight. The Japanese commander was very smart. He fought steadily and advanced step by step. The results would not be seen in a short time, but the problem would become serious over time. Once they controlled the mountainous area of ​​Shanting, they could advance to various positions at any time.

"Send a telegram to the Guard Regiment, reminding the frontline troops to wear gas masks. The Japanese army's attacks during the day will not go smoothly, and they may use special bombs to attack. We must not be careless."

At five o'clock in the morning, Haruki Isayama was mobilizing the reception team to open up the Xiaozhushan coastline to welcome the artillery. As long as the artillery entered the camp, they would be able to enter Qingdao City by this afternoon at the latest. Haruki Isayama assured the reception team that once they entered Qingdao City, they would be the first batch to do whatever they wanted.

Do whatever you want. All the mobilization is not as effective as these four words. The Japanese soldiers who were preparing to set off were howling like ghosts and wolves. Many images had already appeared in their wretched minds.

The vanguard troops set off, and Haruki Isayama mobilized four battalions of the guard troops alone. Their mission was to disperse and attract firepower, and constantly engage in fighting with the blocking and sneak attacking enemies.

boom! Boom boom boom!

The team had just walked a few hundred meters when the soldiers stepped on a landmine that had been buried last night.

After the violent explosion, the two teams directly opposite the mine were wailing in pain.

The smile on Isayama Haruki's face froze. Landmines? The New Fourth Division dared to bury mines in a scattered manner. Aren't they afraid that they would drive the people to step on mines? But there was no time to worry about this now. The transport ship had arrived. Two warships were aiming at the beach to cover the unloading. They had to break through the mine array to meet them. The longer they delayed, the more trouble they would have.

"Send the engineering corps up and start clearing mines immediately. A safe road must be cleared within half an hour."

The engineering corps had been idle for two days. Apart from doing some work in building the ice wall position, they had been doing nothing the rest of the time. Unexpectedly, a big job came up while they were having breakfast.

Hundreds of engineers were the first to approach the minefield, poking the ground with their bayonets. It was just mine clearance, a simple trick.

A soldier found out the situation and gently dug away the snow. Was he so perfunctory? Did he need engineers in such a situation? The ground was very hard. When he dug away the snow, he could see the fresh soil. There is an old Chinese saying that if you cover your ears and steal the bell, you are deceiving yourself. This is a living example! It seems that the New Fourth Division has really run out of tricks.

The engineer dug out the mine under his feet, held it in his hand and raised it back, then continued digging the mine amid the cheers from behind.

"Battalion Commander, are we going to fight or not? Are we just going to let them finish digging?"

The mine array was about five to six hundred meters wide. Outside the mine array, two special operations battalions of the New Fourth Division were observing and on guard. Although the mine instructor of the Yimeng Guerrillas vowed that there was no need to worry about the mine array, the officers and soldiers of the two battalions were still worried.

The engineers dug through the snow and found another group of fresh soil. This one was arranged more decently and it was hard to find without careful observation. However, this was their job, and any cunning prey could not escape the hunter's eyes.

Carefully digging up the soil, a special mine appeared in front of him. The recruit was puzzled. Is this a mine? It doesn't look like it! Is it a new type from some country? Leng Qiang likes to buy arms. It is estimated that he spent a lot of money to get it. However, this thing is the same no matter how it changes. Just dig it out carefully.

The engineer carefully dug up the surrounding soil, held the mine tightly with both hands, and faced the enemy head-on? What does it mean? The engineer only knew one word, and was ready to show it back and win cheers before explaining the situation.

boom!

As soon as the mine was activated, it exploded without warning, and more than 700 shrapnel and steel balls were swept out in a fan shape. Several engineers nearby had also dug out the mines, but before they could deal with them, they were affected by the violent explosion, and the shrapnel and steel balls penetrated into their bodies.

“Ah! Ahhhhh!”

If the distance is too far, the person will not be killed, but his body will be penetrated by steel balls and shrapnel, and if he doesn't die, he will be skinned.

"Baga!"

Haruki Isayama, who was hiding and watching from a distance, had a look of rage on his face. "Idiot! You even failed while digging a landmine! You deserve to be blown into pieces."

"boom"!

Another explosion was heard in the distance. The miner was killed and more than a dozen engineers who were clearing mines nearby were also killed. One of them was hugging a mine, and the vibration of the explosion made him shake a little, and the mine in his hand exploded instantly. The scene was simply unbearable to watch.

The continuous explosions made Haruki Isayama suspicious. This shouldn't have happened, absolutely not. He had no doubt about the professionalism of the engineers. They had studied the landmines of most countries. Such continuous failures must mean that there was something wrong with the mines.

After more than ten explosions, the remaining engineers were all trembling with fear.

A lieutenant dug up a strange mine, but didn't dare touch it. He turned back to report to Haruki Isayama.

"General, we have discovered a new type of strange mine that we have never seen before."

Isayama Haruki was a little curious.

"lead the way".

"General, you cannot do that. It's too dangerous."

"Baga!"

"Hi"!

The lieutenant was slapped in the face, but he still stood in front of Isayama Haruki. Isayama Haruki also felt that he was too impulsive. There were still enemies in the distance. He knew the snipers of the New Fourth Division and the Yimeng Guerrillas. If he was shot in the head by a sniper rifle, it would be a big joke.

"Describe it."

The lieutenant gestured on the snow and outlined a strange shape, which made Haruki Isayama confused. Is this a fucking mine?

"Your Excellency General, it's in this shape, with four words written on it, 'enemy something something'."

The lieutenant wrote out the general shape of the four characters. Isayama Haruki's Chinese was good and he recognized that it meant facing the enemy head-on.

"The mines were produced by the Chinese? Impossible, absolutely impossible. They must have been produced by the Germans or Americans, just like that damn bazooka."
