"Fifty meters...thirty meters...ten meters..." Everyone silently calculated the distance between the Japanese and puppet troops and the mine formation in their minds.

"Boom..." Finally, a ball of fireball mixed with a large amount of thick smoke rose from the ground, and then a violent explosion came from the road.

Landmines exploded, and deadly ceramic fragments and gravel, like a scattered flower of the goddess, swept out a no-man's land around the explosion site.

More than a dozen Japanese and puppet troops fell to the ground in an instant, some of them were covered in blood and died. Some fell to the ground, curling up while screaming in pain.

"Baga, it's a landmine, everyone hides!" The Japanese who were not affected behind seemed to be frightened and all lay on the ground.

After half a minute, there was no explosion again, the Japanese stood up.

The lieutenant captain who commanded the vanguard troops saw so many casualties in an instant, including four imperial troops, and two of them were almost out of their way. His arrogant face just now became angry.

"The troops continue to move forward. We must find these mine-burned Chinese people, kill them, and avenge the jade-breaking warriors!" The captain gritted his teeth and ordered, wishing he could find the guerrillas directly and chop them alive with the command knife in his hand.

The company commander of the Imperial Army next to him quickly reminded: "Captain calm down. Bei Zhi is worried that there are landmines ahead. Should he ask for support from the engineers?"

"When the engineers came over, the Chinese people who buried the mines had already run away!" the team leader cursed without mercy.

Then he analyzed: "The Chinese people will definitely not have many landmines with such powerful landmines. The troops will continue to move forward. If there are landmines ahead, please ask for support from the engineers."

"Hi!" Although the company commander of the Imperial Alliance Army still had a reluctant expression, he had to choose to compromise with the lieutenant's eyes that could almost kill people.

The bodies and wounded were dragged aside, and after the subsequent main forces were treated, more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops continued to move forward.

However, the Japanese and puppet troops walking in the front, whether they were the Japanese or the Imperial Army, were all restless, staring at their feet with their eyes, fearing that they would step on landmines again.

"Click!" Suddenly, a slight collision sounded at the feet of an Japanese man. The ground was still flat just now, and as the Japanese man landed on the ground with his right foot, a small pit appeared directly.

The Japanese man's face turned pale in an instant: "Baga, I stepped on a landmine!"

"Boom!" Before he could finish his words, the explosion sounded at his feet, and the Japanese were blown up to pieces.

The dozen Japanese and puppet troops around were not spared, all of them were blown up, some died on the spot, some fell to the ground and screamed, and another tragic scene appeared on the road.

"Why are there landmines on Bageya Road? Where did the Eighth Route Army get so many powerful landmines!" The lieutenant captain could no longer suppress his anger, and then cursed loudly regardless of his identity.

"Captain, please contact the engineer immediately and ask for support from the engineer!" The company commander of the Imperial Army, who lost nearly one squad, immediately reminded him in his heartache.

"Why are you still standing there? Report to the captain immediately and ask him to send engineers to clear mines for us!"

Soon, more than a dozen engineers rushed over with a mine detector, and led the team as a second lieutenant.

After saluting a military salute to the lieutenant captain, he directed his men to line up, hold the mine detector, and walk forward bit by bit.

The Japanese engineers were very lucky. The mine detector did not detect the third mine prepared by the guerrillas for them, nor did they step on the mine.

"Yoxi, there are no mines ahead, the troops continue to move forward!" After seeing the engineer walking for more than 20 meters, the lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after the troops had just walked less than fifteen meters, the explosion that the team leader was most reluctant to hear sounded on the road again.

This time, more than a dozen imperial troops and imperial alliance troops were killed and injured.

"Baga, why do there be mines? What do engineers do for food? Why didn't they find it?" The squad leader suddenly exhaled all his anger on the engineer and asked the engineers to give him an explanation.

The engineer squad leader was both embarrassed and incomprehensible.

"Please rest assured, I'll find out immediately!"

After saying that, the engineer squad leader rushed to the wounded to check the mine explosion, and several engineers also came to assist.

Soon, several ceramic fragments pulled out of the wounded were concentrated in the hands of the engineer squad leader.

"Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning and actually uses ceramics as landmines. No wonder our metal detectors did not respond!" The captain suddenly realized and reported.

The lieutenant who was preparing for the Thunder just now had no choice at this time.

The accident just now was not that the engineer dereliction of duty, but that his opponent was too cunning.

Finally, the lieutenant captain could only suppress his anger in his heart again and asked the engineer captain in a hurry: "Is there any way to eliminate these mines? If there is no way, the troops will have no way to march along the highway!"

"There is a way! The engineer squad leader affirmed.

The lieutenant smiled just now, and before he could speak, the engineer squad leader changed his tone and continued: "But there is a problem!"

"We can also manually clear mines when we cannot use mine detectors. But there is one problem, the clearance is very slow!"

"How long will it take!" the lieutenant's brow frowned again, and asked after chasing the engineer captain.

"It takes ten minutes to clear mines for 100 meters!" The engineer squadron leader replied with an awkward look on his face.

"No, it's too long!" the lieutenant refused without thinking.

"We have been delayed here for more than ten minutes, and it will be almost half an hour if we delay another ten minutes. It will take half an hour to hit a landmine, and it will not take a few kilometers of road in a day! How can we sweep the Eighth Route Army base and encircle and suppress the independent regiment?"

The engineer squad leader replied helplessly: "Besides this method, Bei Yi can't think of any other method!"

"If the chief is really unable to make a decision, please contact the captain and ask the captain to make a decision."

"This is all we can do!" the lieutenant replied helplessly.

Soon, the captain finished listening to the report and his spirit before going out, all of them disappeared.

"Bageya Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army, I will find them sooner or later and kill them all!" The captain first cursed and then began to give orders.

"There are only two ways: clear mines, or bypass landmines."

The deputy captain next to him immediately reminded: "Captain, it is definitely impossible to bypass the mine."

"We brought a lot of baggage and artillery. We could not walk without going on the road, such as these big trucks and heavy weapons, unless we divided the troops. However, the general before the departure repeatedly ordered the orders. We could not divide the troops in any case, and we would not give the Eighth Route Army a chance to defeat us one by one!"

"Then there is only one way to clear mines~" the captain replied helplessly.
