Chapter 90 Waiting for the guests to get together before serving
The first brigade of the Japanese baggage corps, who was ordered to attack overnight, took more than a dozen cars along the highway and rushed to the combat location designated by the corps captain earlier. Just as they were about to arrive, the first brigade on the way heard an explosion from a distance.
The sudden explosion caused the First Brigade to enter a state of alert combat in an instant. Just because he could not see the enemy, he knew that the place where the explosion sounded was heard at this moment should be the railway line located in the mountains.
Thinking of the second brigade searching along the railway overnight, the commander of the first brigade who was driving through the highway, he also seemed a little worried. After ordering the troops to pause the advance, he wanted to contact the second brigade through the radio.
As a coincidence, the correspondent soldier carrying the radio station happened to carry the radio station through the railway explosion area. After re-establishing the radio station, he learned that the corps captain was safe and sound, and the Japanese captain of the First Brigade also seemed relieved.
When he learned that the Second Battalion was ambushed on the railway line, the captain of the First Battalion also quickly received instructions from the commander of the regiment, Hiroshi Mizuno, to send troops to block the surrounding highways and check on all suspicious personnel and vehicles.
Just as he was about to order the troops to disperse and implement the combat instructions of the brigade captain. The captain saw a shocking scene that changed his face. The forefront troops and the vehicles moving forward were attacked by roadside bombs.
Looking at the yellow smoke rising at the explosion site, the captain screamed in horror: "It's a special bullet! Hurry up, order all troops to retreat! Soldiers with gas masks should wear gas masks immediately. Hurry up! Retreat!"
Previously, through the radio station with the brigade leader, the captain found that the two brigades were relatively close. However, one was on the road and the other was on the railway, with a mountain between them.
Originally, they planned to let the troops go over and find a mountain road to meet with the Second Battalion. Unexpectedly, their battalion was also ambushed by the attackers. Seeing the yellow smoke rising at the explosion site, the captain also knew what caused it.
In this case, he did not dare to send troops to rescue the officers and soldiers in the explosion area. The only thing he could do was to let his subordinates who had escaped the disaster stay away from the yellow smoke spread area as soon as possible and wear the gas mask he carried.
Hu Biao, who was staying on the hillside near the explosion area, saw the Japanese who had not yet entered the explosion area and began to retreat wildly, saying with a little regret: "Three swords, let's prepare to retreat too!"
"Captain, there are a lot of Japanese weapons and ammunition on the road, do we not want them either?"
"Pick it up! Wait until you go to the mountain pass to an ambush, and then retreat to the second ambush circle. This is an explosion. I believe that the Japanese on the railway will be very anxious. At that time, they should send troops out to observe the situation."
"What's the matter? Should we deal with these Japanese devils, or against the Japanese devils on the railway?"
"First go to the mountain pass to see the situation! If there are many Japanese devils out, we will fight and retreat while leading the Japanese to the second ambush circle. If there are few Japanese devils, we will strive to wipe out all the Japanese in the shortest time."
"Understood!"
After listening to Hu Biao's combat instructions, Qin Tianyou, who had finished the battle, came to the outside of the explosion area wearing a gas mask, picked up the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese who died in battle, threw them into the ditch next to them to wash them, and then quickly retreated with his back.
From the railway to the highway, there happened to be a mountain road that was not flat. Hu Biao, who retreated to the intersection, hid directly in the hidden trench at the intersection. In the trench, you can also observe the movements of the Japanese army on the highway through a telescope.
At the same time, we can also discover in advance that the situation of the Japanese may come from the railway. Taking advantage of this time, Hu Biao instructed Chen Qiang to lead a platoon of soldiers to bury the seized weapons and ammunition into the pits dug earlier.
When Hu Biao finished the battle and left, someone would excavate the captured weapons and ammunition and transport them away. Although the power of Hanyang was also good, many officers and soldiers in the National Army's anti-Japanese war units preferred the weapons of the Japanese.
Perhaps in the eyes of these soldiers, it is also an honor to be able to use Japanese weapons. But for Hu Biao, next time he trades with the Military Control Commission, he will buy a batch of Chinese official rifles or German Mauser 98k rifles from the Military Control Commission.
The performance of these two rifles is also excellent, but its power is stronger than the Japanese 38th cover. Especially for the latter, if you can get a batch of double-scope scopes, Hu Biao can also modify a batch of sniper rifles.
The importance of weapons to the troops is self-evident, especially for Hu Biao, who is behind enemy lines, he really urgently needs a batch of excellent sniper rifles. If the guards are equipped with multiple snipers, it is more certain to deal with the Japanese.
When Hu Biao was waiting for the Japanese army to appear again, Hirokazu Mizuno, located on the railway line, also heard the explosion from the highway. Looking at the rolling smoke rising into the air, Hirokazu Mizuno couldn't help but grit his teeth again.
Staring at the yellow smoke in the thick smoke, the captain of the regiment said with a distorted expression: "Baga! Those damn attackers, they detonated special bombs again. So cruel, aren't they afraid of causing the consequences of accidentally injuring civilians?"
Listening to what Hirokazu Mizuno said, the infantry captain standing beside him wanted to say 'there are no civilians nearby', but in the end, this sentence was swallowed into his stomach and said, "Captain, this should be the location of the First Brigade?"
"It should be! Draw a small team and immediately find the way to the highway. Try to meet with the First Battalion and then launch a search. In addition to retrieving the supplies on the army, I want to capture all these attackers in one place."
Although his idea is good, he is somewhat terrifying. After the previous explosion and the explosion that sounded at this moment, the captain of the major already felt that the attacker was very difficult to deal with. The existence of special bombs is always a time bomb.
If the attacker uses special bullets again during the battle, what should he do if the pursuers are pursuing troops? The gas masks carried by the Second Battalion are only enough to supply one squadron. The remaining troops can only provide simple protection.
Once the troops are infected with mustard seed poison gas on a large scale, the outcome of the second brigade will not be better than that of the third brigade, which was wiped out by the entire army. Other injuries can be cured, but this mustard seed gas cannot be cured.
At this moment, near the derailed army, the Japanese's vanguard finally appeared. Looking at the army that was overturned to the flat area, the Japanese who were responsible for searching, finally couldn't help saying: "Hurry, look, the army is right in front!"
Compared to the soldiers' excitement, the team leader said cautiously: "Get apart and move forward in a combat formation. Send someone else to quickly inform the team leader of the news. Let's go there first and see how the situation is there!"
"Hi!"
The vanguard team quickly advanced in a fan-shaped search and finally approached the army safely. Looking at most empty cars, many Japanese devils felt that something was wrong. The supplies transported by the army were likely to have been transferred away.
Along the overturned military train carriage, the Japanese continued to search. When the Japanese discovered that there was actually a padlock carriage in this military train, the team leader directly said: "Go, open this carriage and see what's inside!"
As the two Japanese soldiers stepped forward, they began to pull the door hard, one left and one right. As soon as the Japanese soldiers were about to step into the car, they saw two grenades hanging on both sides of the carriage, smoking was sizzling.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese said in horror: "Baga! There are grenades!"
Before he finished speaking, two grenades exploded. With a loud bang, the Japanese who were staying near the carriage door were naturally blown up. The other Japanese were like conditioned reflexes and immediately fell down.
The Japanese who entered the carriage were unfortunately blown into a hornet's nest. The Japanese who stayed outside the carriage were lucky enough to escape. What really made the Japanese captain glad that the shells piled up in this carriage were not detonated.
Looking at the heavy shells still piled up inside, the squad leader said with a glee: "Baga! Fortunately! Fortunately! If these shells are detonated, we will be finished. Be careful not to move the things inside casually."
Listening to the explosion from the military line, Hu Minyi, who was lying in the individual trenches, also said with a wicked smile: "That's a side dish before the meal, a real big dish, wait until the guests are all!"
Only one team of Japanese soldiers entered the explosion trap area, so Hu Minyi was naturally unwilling to detonate the shells buried in advance. In Hu Minyi's view, there were a large number of Japanese soldiers behind him who had not come, so let's continue waiting.
Hiding in individual trenches, it is unlikely that they will be discovered by the Japanese. As long as we wait patiently, Hu Minyi believes that there will be huge gains. He is very clear that once those shells are detonated, the Japanese who enter here will not end well.
Anyway, Hu Biao was watching over the highway, so Hu Minyi didn't have to worry about anything. If even Hu Biao couldn't solve the problem, even if they rushed over, they would probably not be able to help. After a few days of fighting, Hu Biao's command ability had already convinced everyone!
