Chapter 270
The little devil's original march plan was stranded due to sabotage by the engineering company of the Jiuzhai Security Regiment.
After sacrificing the lives of a brigade captain, a brigade adjutant, and nearly a brigade of soldiers, the little devil finally decided to move forward steadily.
Thanks to China's backward infrastructure today, the road from Shexian County to Matian is basically an earth-rock structure. In some places, it passes directly on the river bed beside the river. Therefore, digging holes is much simpler.
Zhang Jiahao, the engineer company commander who was a special operations soldier, got the true inheritance of Hu Yizhou! There are many ways to deceive people and vehicles, but there are no duplicates!
Therefore, in the 20-kilometer river valley from Wangbao to Matian, there are such potholes almost every other section. Some are continuous, some are individual, and some are clustered.
This harmed the Japanese engineers because there were not many engineers in the brigade. In some cases, the Japanese mostly forcibly recruited ordinary people to help with the work.
It's a pity that the entire villages from Shexian County to Matian have been emptied. Food and tools have been hidden, and personnel have been moved. However, the rats in the rat hole have not been moved. The little devils can't catch the rats to help repair them.
Road right?
On the second day of the first interception and harassment battle, the Japanese soldiers in the engineering team responsible for road construction were also worried. It was easy to repair such a long water-filled road.
If you add stones and cement, you can build a road. But what about lime? What about cement?
Not to mention that there is no cement, there are not many earth and rocks. They were transported by engineers and civilians to the field construction site. From a distance, you can still see the sinkholes exposed under the water. It is said that there are three
This is where Imperial soldiers were crushed to pieces!
what to do?
Finally, the team leader jumped down and jumped into the water. As a result, the water just covered his calves, and the bottom of his feet was a solid stone river bed. What else is there to repair? Just fill in those pits! Even the car
If the chassis cannot reach the water surface, just drive directly over it.
So, a dozen or so Japs from the engineering team went into the water at the invitation of the engineering captain. They had to explore the water crossing first.
The engineer captain volunteered to clear the way ahead.
I saw him walking in front holding a two-meter-long wooden stick that he picked up from somewhere. There was also a plaster flag tied to the head of the wooden stick.
The engineer team leader's name was Muto Jiro. At this time, he felt that his IQ was simply over the top. Do the stupid Chinese people think that digging up the road and flooding it with water can stop the attack of the great imperial army?
The complacent Muto Jiro encountered a difficulty when he reached the pit. How could he cross the pit across the river? The pit was not wide, only about one meter, but our legs were short...
The leader spent an hour getting big rocks down from the mountain, and finally filled a section of the road here, and Muto Jiro continued to move forward.
Just...boom...
A dull explosion sounded, and the turbid water column was blown up high. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers in the water collectively broke their legs!
The mines that the arsenal had worked so hard to create finally worked as they should...
Captain Kato came to the river under layers of protection. Just yesterday, the captain of the first team was sniped and killed here, and was also "bombed by artillery" along with him.
After taking a look at the surrounding mountains, Captain Kato felt a little relieved.
It is impossible for the raiding squadron to go all the way north. We can only press forward step by step! Therefore, small groups of troops need to be sent up on the hills on both sides to occupy the commanding heights, and then the scouts will move forward to explore the road. Finally,
The engineers eliminated all kinds of hidden dangers and repaired the roads, and the large troops followed closely!
It doesn’t matter if you can’t catch any people nearby. You can catch people from Shexian County to build the road! You can even let Chinese people explore the road ahead!
A small force raid? This is also a way, but it is impossible without a guide! What if you are taken to the side road again? You can only go forward for a certain distance before doing this method! Because there is a river there that merges into the Qingzhang River
, you can try walking through that tributary.
There were engineers and scouts ahead to clear the way, and there were also scouts on the slopes on both sides where people could go.
Engineers are responsible for exploring possible mines, traps, and pits, as well as eliminating various hidden dangers and building roads. Scouts are responsible for preventing snipers.
But in this way, the speed of this march can be imagined.
After receiving the battle report, Colonel Katagiri, who was in Shexian County, was angry again. Two brigades led a mountain artillery squadron to attack, and they suffered such heavy casualties before anyone even saw it. How could he be embarrassed?
He died before leaving the army, and Colonel Katagiri became a carpenter. A solid wood desk turned into a pile of firewood under the efforts of the angry Colonel Katagiri.
After venting the anger in his heart, Colonel Katagiri had no good solution. Mountain roads are difficult to walk on, and places where cars can drive are considered good. Cars must not be left alone, otherwise what will the artillery do? We cannot let the soldiers
Carrying the mountain cannon to fight, right?
Fortunately, Colonel Katagiri Gorō had an idea. He summoned the regiment's transportation team to collect the earth, stone, and wood for road construction from around Shexian County, and asked the transportation team to transport it to the front one by one. How much did the Chinese dig out?
We will fill in as many holes as there are pitfalls, and we will eventually complete the journey.
By the way, the few common people in Shexian County were captured and sent to the north to help build roads and explore roads! In a word, the imperial soldiers cannot be wasted easily on this!
Not only that, he also transferred the remaining mountain artillery squadron of the regiment from Wu'an. We are not in a hurry, we will walk slowly step by step. When the people on both sides look at each other, we will be on the battlefield.
See the real chapter.
When the eight-door mountain artillery fires, those rabbit-like squadrons who only know how to hide in the dark and carry out sneak attacks will be reduced to ashes under the empire's artillery fire.
Due to the Japanese attack, the entire southeast of Shanxi was turned into a mess. The Japanese attacked from all directions, and the squadron blocked them in separate ways. With the help of a large number of grenades and Japanese-style equipment and ammunition seized from Shexian County, the army rabbits
Fighting here is much easier than in the original time and space!
At least the soldiers in the main force group still have three or five extra grenades each, and some can even get the Japanese melon grenades! Some of the main force battalions even simply switch to Japanese-style equipment!
Although the 92-weight is very heavy and the crooked handle is very rough, it is still better than the broken Hanyang-made weapon that cannot hit far and the Czech style without bullets. We know that the Czech style is effective, but it is useless without bullets!
In addition to these, various "homemade weapons" are also popular. Catapults throwing explosive packets have been developed, elm cannons have been developed, and land mines with gold juice fragments have also been developed...
In addition, the shotgun that we can produce our own bullets is a good thing. This bullet is relatively abundant! I heard that they have started to produce their own shotguns, but I don’t know when they will be used?
Chapter completed!
