Chapter 069, the effect of directional mine
After the discussion, everyone received rice balls and boiled water, and then helped each other and hid on the ridge.
They are all experienced in ambushes. They are experienced masters of how to disguise and lurk, and even how to disguise and lurk comfortably. Lao Li does not need to worry about this.
As for Hu Changyi, if he needs to stay on the line, he needs to make some changes. Well, there is a big rock on the north side of here, which just blocks the view to the north. The place is very good.
In order to stay comfortably at night, he asked Comrade Xiao Zhang to find some dry branches and put them on the south side of the big stone to prop up a sloping shelf. He covered the shelf with a captured tarpaulin and then used a layer of branches.
Camouflage the outside.
Well, Hu Changyi euphemistically calls this: It’s going to rain, protect the detonator!
Comrade Xiao Zhang is very obedient. He does whatever Hu Changyi tells him. Anyway, it is always right to listen to Changyi. Well, the space under the shelf is not small. There is a place for the brothers to sleep at night, and it is rainproof and mosquitoproof.
…
Hu Changyi was not in a hurry to connect the phone. Anyway, he knew that the Japanese would not come until tomorrow morning, and it would be dangerous to connect it now.
The night passed quickly. Hu Changyi covered himself with a blanket and had a comfortable sleep. At dawn, a communications soldier came over to inform them, telling them to be on alert and not to miss the signal.
After the communication soldier finished speaking, he left. Comrade Xiao Zhang lay down on the big rock conscientiously and observed the commander's position.
Well, Lao Li and the commander of the third battalion were responsible for commanding the entire battlefield. If the detonation required a signal from the commander of the third battalion.
Taking advantage of this time, Hu Changyi connected the hand-cranked telephone to the phone line, and used the system to check it again. After finding that there was no problem, he rested against the big rock to bask in the sun.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, the forward observation post discovered the enemy's situation: more than 100 cavalry and more than 300 infantry, protecting the baggage as they moved forward.
That's right, the Japanese's baggage troops have arrived, strengthening the configuration of a cavalry squadron, enhancing the cover's firepower, and also enhancing their mobility and reconnaissance range.
The difference from the day before yesterday is that this time the infantry was not separated from the baggage troops, but was mixed in with the baggage troops. In other words, the baggage soldiers and infantry totaled more than 300 people, which was the same size as last time. Only the cavalry was
Extra.
This time, the Japanese's search was very rigorous. The cavalry in front sent out rangers from time to time to conduct reconnaissance on the hillside ridges on both sides, for fear of being ambushed again.
In order to cover the baggage troops behind, the cavalry squadron did not run very fast and always kept a distance of about a meter from behind.
Seeing this scene, the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were ambushing in front all lay down calmly and motionless. They all believed in their camouflage skills.
Finally, around 11 a.m., the cavalry squadron was the first to enter the ambush area.
At this time, the soldiers who had been lurking all night and half a day were all tired and hungry. In order not to expose any traces, they had remained lurking for such a long time and only ate two white rice dumplings to satisfy their hunger.
"Hurry up... Hurry up and get down from my gun..." This is the voice of the soldiers.
When the Japanese entered the ambush area, a dozen cavalrymen quickly ran forward and then stopped in front of the seventh company's ambush area.
Then, a Japanese officer looked at the southern ridge very carefully and compared it with his memory to see if there were any changes.
Yes, this is the team leader who came to check the situation the day before yesterday. He has memorized the terrain here. Now by comparing it, it is easy to find out whether there are any hidden enemies.
"Xinxi, it seems there are no enemies here!" Looking at the environment that was almost unchanged from his memory, the team leader felt relieved.
"Hurry up, keep moving forward! Our ammunition supplies are still waiting for us at the front! If we don't go, our soldiers will be hungry and our bullets will run out!" Seeing that there is no problem here, I took charge of this time.
The leader of the Japanese transport squadron quickly urged the team to pass here quickly.
After all, this is the place where more than 300 people died, and he is not willing to stay here any longer.
Even if they speed up, the Japanese team is still unhappy.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, the cavalry led by the Japanese were not far from the west corner, and most of the heavy troops behind them also entered the explosion coverage area.
"We can't wait any longer, Xiaoma, let Changyi prepare!" the third battalion commander said to squad leader Ma next to him.
"Understood!" Captain Ma took a few steps back, took out the small flag from his arms and waved it left and right.
"Changyi, get ready!" Xiao Zhang, who had been waiting for the signal flag, shouted to Hu Changyi.
"Got it!" Hu Changyi didn't even raise his head. He pressed the phone with his left hand and grabbed the crank handle with his right hand.
"Detonate!" Seeing that the Japanese were about to leave the explosion zone, the third battalion commander gave the decisive order.
"Whoa!" Captain Ma waved the flag in his hand vigorously.
"Detonate!" Xiao Zhang's excited shout reached Hu Changyi's ears.
"Hula la..." The handle of the hand-cranked phone was shaken rapidly, and a stream of current followed the phone line and reached each electric detonator.
Stimulated by the current, the electric detonators exploded one after another, and then caused the TNT outside to explode. In the huge shock wave generated by the explosion, the mud slab in front was blown apart, and countless iron sands were blown up and flew quickly in the direction of the Japanese.
"Boom, boom, boom..." 50 explosive sites exploded almost at the same time.
"Shua..." A black iron curtain formed by iron sand flew towards the Japanese team.
"Nani?" When the explosion sounded, some Japanese soldiers turned their heads to watch like a conditioned reflex.
Then... they were submerged in iron sand...
"Hit!" The sound of the explosion was the order. As soon as there was an explosion here, the squad and platoon leaders directed their soldiers to attack.
Then... the soldiers who were ambushing in the explosion area were relieved, because on the mountain road below, whether it was the Japanese cavalry, the Japanese infantry, or even the Japanese war horses, they were either standing or falling covered in blood, and there was almost no way to fight back.
Ability.
What's even worse is that those Japs who were very close to the explosion point were directly blown into pieces and blood mist...
"I'll bring you my own mother!" Even though these veterans had seen the power of the elm cannon, they were still shocked by the scene in the valley.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Go down, the bayonet will be red!" The third battalion commander was a quick-reacting person and quickly asked the soldiers to go down and give the Japs a last-ditch blow.
"Quick, get down. If the bayonet is red and you're still breathing, give him a break!" The seventh company commander reacted the fastest and quickly jumped off the ridge with his men.
"Damn, this is too cruel!" After watching the soldiers go down, the third battalion commander sighed at the power of the directional explosion after giving the attack order.
At this time, fierce gunfire rang out from the east. It was our Lao Li who was directing the team to shoot at the Japanese who had not entered the explosion zone.
"Commander, look to the west, there are almost no Japanese left, and those war horses have also fallen to the ground!" someone said to Li Yunlong.
"I know, but so many war horses have been killed, how can we take them away!" Li Yunlong was a little worried.
Well, at this time, we can actually declare that this ambush is over. What kind of trouble can the dozens of Japanese soldiers left behind cause?
"System, how much is my meritorious service worth?" After detonating the directional mine, Hu Changyi asked the system directly.
"Ding... The host's merit point accumulation has reached 1807 points, and the system soul energy is 486/10000." The system's voice sounded.
Chapter completed!
