On a mountain ridge northwest of Majiayu Village, Li Yunlong and his men lurked here, waiting for the Japanese to arrive.

In fact, they could hide further away, but the big guys have been busy for so long, just waiting for the little devil to be fooled. They have to see it with their own eyes, so they hide it here.

"Changyi, how many bullet mines have you buried in total? Are there any left?" Li Yunlong asked in a low voice.

"It's not too many, only 230, so the density is not high! The rest will be saved for next time!" Hu Changyi said.

"That's a lot! Our mission now is to prevent the Japs from continuing to go west. If we can use these mines to stop the Japs and let them delay their time, we will win!" Li Yunlong said.

"Actually, I would rather see the landmine explode! How is the war situation now? Where is the Central Army?" Hu Changyi asked.

"The battle situation? We were defeated all the way, leaving us at the end to block the enemy's advance! On the line of Songta Town in the northwest, the 115th Division is blocking the main force of the 20th Division from advancing. We want to follow them.

We are meeting, but we have to stop the Japanese here!" Li Yunlong said.

"It means they ran away and let us take the rear, right? Damn it! Now, I just hope these bullet mines can be of great use!" Hu Changyi actually had no idea whether the bullet mines were effective.

"It's windy... I haven't seen the stars in the sky all night, but now it's windy. It looks like it's going to rain." Hu Changyi felt the chill.

"Well, it's going to rain!" Li Yunlong said.

"That means God is also helping us! Once it rains, the traces of the mines will be covered up. I just hope it doesn't rain too much, otherwise we will be helping the Japanese!" Hu Changyi said.

Then, there was no movement again, until thin strands of rain fell from the sky...

At dawn, the rain stopped, and instead a thick fog arose in the mountains, making it blurry to see people from a distance of five or six meters.

"Baga, it's foggy. Let's suspend our march and wait until the fog clears before leaving!" Captain Sakai, who came with reinforcements from Jiedu Township, said.

"Hai!" the Japanese were ordered to continue resting.

"Aso-kun, please tell me about the battle process, and let's sum up the experience and lessons! I always feel that this unit called the Eighth Route Army is different from the Chinese army we encountered before!" Captain Sakai looked at a colleague of his own.

's officer.

"Hai, this is what happened..." Captain Aso was very angry, but the defeated general was not brave and could only tell the story of yesterday's battle again. In fact, if he hadn't experienced it personally, he wouldn't have believed in the equipment.

How could such a sophisticated locust army be defeated so easily?

"Aso-kun, in my opinion, your failure this time is closely related to the tactics of the Eighth Route Army! It's not that you didn't fight well, but that the Eighth Route Army made full use of the characteristics of the terrain and took advantage of the location to the extreme!

"

"There was a Chinese sage named Mencius who said that the right weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people! So it makes sense!" Sakai said.

"I really admire Mr. Sakai's research on Chinese culture! It's just that the weather today is really bad. Fortunately, we found enough wood yesterday, and we can turn the remains of all the soldiers who died in the battle into ashes today.

!”

"I brought them to fight, but I brought them to the place of death. This is my responsibility! Therefore, when the punishment from the division headquarters is decided, I will accept it unconditionally!" Aso said.

"Don't be discouraged, we must learn to sum up experience and lessons! For example, the Eighth Route Army used the corpses of our soldiers to lay mines, we can also use it! As far as I know, the Eighth Route Army is not taken seriously in China's combat order.

We are very poor and have no stable and reliable source of weapons!"

"So, they can only obtain weapons and ammunition through seizures on the battlefield! And we can make a fuss about this! When encountering unfavorable battles and need to retreat in the future, in addition to destroying the materials that cannot be taken away, they can also poison them.

Can it also be used to place mines?" Sakai said.

"Sakai-kun, good meeting, good meeting!" Captain Aso said...

The morning fog didn't last long. After about an hour, the breeze from the mountains blew away the dense fog, and the sun also showed its light.

"Hululu...Hululu..." Hu Changyi, who was waiting to see the results of a busy night, hid in a rain shelter supported by oilcloth and fell asleep.

"Okay, let's go! The baggage will stay here in Jiedu Township, let's go and capture Xiyang!" Sakai Nakazuo, riding on the war horse in Jiedu Township, said.

Soon, the Japanese army formed three columns and started marching along the Songxi River towards Xiyang.

More than an hour later...

"Changyi, the Japanese are coming!" Someone shouted to Hu Changyi.

"The Japs are coming? That's great! You guys need to clean up and get there quickly!" Hu Changyi said to the guerrillas guarding him.

"Captain, don't worry!" The guerrillas were in high spirits. After all, they didn't go out to work last night. Instead, they took turns sleeping here.

Ce ce ce... bang hook... ce ce ce...

When Hu Changyi arrived at the hiding place of the main force, he heard a sound coming from afar. He picked up a telescope and took a look and found that about a thousand Japanese soldiers were coming north and west along the path along the river.

In the lead, an infantry squadron was clearing the way, firing towards the hillsides on both sides of the valley.

"It's so rich..." Many Eighth Route Army soldiers sighed as they saw the Japanese "wasting" bullets wantonly.

Yes, although the Japanese are nothing compared to other world powers, they are much richer than the Eighth Route Army, and their life is quite good.

"We're almost there. I hope I won't be the first one to get crushed!" Hu Changyi didn't care what others thought, but he lay on the ridge with a telescope. He didn't care that the clothes on his chest were wet with rain and dew.

Waiting for the enemy's hooves to step on his first "big killer".

...Rumble... The Japs in the infantry squadron don't run very fast. They are mainly used for reconnaissance, but they are still out of touch with the Japs troops behind them.

This is not the point. The point is that after dozens of Japanese soldiers passed over the "big killer", one unlucky one finally stepped on the wooden plank covering the "big killer".

"Boom..." A violent explosion sounded, and thick smoke filled the Japanese team.

In Hu Changyi's sight, what rose with the smoke were the "little red flowers" blooming on the bodies of the Japanese, which had been beaten by fragments of iron sand.

The smoke quickly dissipated, and the Japs' team also stopped. In front of the explosion point, there were five or six Japs who had fallen to the ground, and there was a circle of injured people bandaging themselves around.
