Predator Reborn

Chapter 157: Reinforcement (1)

Since the Japanese Army's North China Headquarters issued an order to start raids, all the strongholds housing the main force of the Japanese Army have been targeted by the soldiers of the Independent Brigade. Their every move has not escaped the eyes of the scouts of each regiment.

When other reinforcements of the Japanese army moved out of their strongholds like the 117th Regiment, they began to be continuously harassed. Of course, for these Japanese troops, the soldiers did not need to consider their marching speed, but tried their best to

to delay their advance. Because of this, the Japs would have much fewer opportunities to enter the hinterland of the base area. Likewise, the base area would suffer less losses. Therefore, the soldiers used all their imaginations to attack the Japs in almost all ways.

Used it.

One of the simplest and easiest methods is to dig up the road where the Japanese are preparing to march, so that their cannons and cars cannot march smoothly. Under the guidance of this idea, countless deep ditches appeared on the road where the Japanese marched.

Facing countless deep ditches and looking at the mountain artillery and ammunition trucks behind them, the Japanese army could only fill them in one by one. Of course, those responsible for filling in the roads were all Japanese engineers.

Knowing this situation, the soldiers' minds became active. Although we dare not move your main unit, I dare to deal with those engineers who were used to fill the road. So, in addition to the Japanese troops, the soldiers

In addition to constantly digging out the road ahead, a certain amount of mines were also laid at the intersection.

Therefore, when the Japanese army organized engineers to carry out operations again, it was not so smooth. Continuous explosions sounded at the break of the road. At the same time, it also caused waves of wailing sounds from the Japanese army. There were four consecutive deep trenches, all of which were

There was an explosion.

Soon, the casualty report reported that in the hands of the squadron leader of the engineering squadron, there were deep trenches everywhere, and a total of half of the squadron was lost. No need to guess, the squadron leader knew that these mines must have been planted by the Eighth Route Army who dug up the road.

Thinking that his engineer squadron, as the outstanding imperial soldiers of the Japanese Empire, now has to put down his tools and work hard to fill the deep ditches that can be seen everywhere on the road for the entire main force, and he has to be attacked by landmines specifically targeted at him.

"Baga." The squadron leader drew out his command knife, chopped a small tree in front of him, and cursed loudly. "Immediately report to the commander of the company that we encountered an enemy mine attack ahead, and half of the squadron was lost."

The squadron leader continued, "Despicable Eighth Route Army soldiers, if they have the ability to stand up and attack the outstanding imperial soldiers head-on, they will sneak attack, cowardly Eighth Road people." The squadron leader yelled at his squad leader.

"Your Excellency, the squadron leader, there is a village ahead. Can we go to the village and recruit some young adults to fill in the deep ditches on the road? Also, if the Eighth Route Army is allowed to march in front of us, I will

I think the Eighth Route Army will definitely not lay landmines. By then, our engineering squadron will be able to easily complete the tasks assigned to us by the commander." A squad leader next to him looked at the angry squadron commander and pointed at the floating sky in the distance.

It is recommended to go to villages where there is smoke from cooking.

"Yo Xi, your attention is very good. Lord Zhongtian, I order you to take your team and set off immediately. Go to the village in front to recruit 100 young adults and ask them to go to the front to give us outstanding imperial soldiers.

Open the road. You must know that our excellent imperial soldiers are not used to fill the deep ditches on the highway, but to go to the front line to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service." After listening to the squad leader's words, the squadron leader nodded and ordered.

"Correspondent, report my decision to your Excellency the Wing Commander and ask for approval from the Wing Commander." The squadron commander once again turned to the correspondent behind him and ordered. "Others will take care of the wounded and stay put." The squadron commander then ordered.

"Hi." After listening to the squadron leader's words, everyone responded in unison. At the same time, they were relieved of their nervousness. At the same time, they were glad that their soldiers no longer had to do hard work and block bullets at the front. Several squad captains expressed their gratitude to the people in front of them.

Captain Zhongtian cast a grateful look.

Of course, this method of killing two birds with one stone was quickly agreed by the regiment commander. Therefore, the engineer squadron that cooperated with the vanguard squadron took a rest on the spot, but the soldiers' eyes were turned to the village with smoke rising in front. Xiang Amaterasu

The great god begged, hoping that the Zhongtian team leader who put forward opinions would not let him down.

However, Captain Zhongtian is indeed an excellent imperial commander. After a while, a large group of Eight Route People appeared in everyone's eyes. Through the telescope, it can be seen that the Captain has recruited more than a hundred people.

Young and middle-aged men, and these young and middle-aged men were all tied up with ropes by the soldiers. The soldiers of the Zhongtian Squadron patrolled back and forth at both ends of the team with their rifles equipped with bayonets, urging these eight people to speed up.

"Yo Xi, Captain Zhongtian deserves to be a warrior of the empire. After capturing so many young men, the soldiers are finally relieved. Order: The engineer squadron must gather immediately and supervise these eight people in small groups to fill in the road.

Use them to clear the deep trenches and clear the mines on the road, each team will have one hour." Looking at the young and middle-aged men from the Eighth Route Army who were getting closer and closer, the squadron leader ordered excitedly.

So under the threat of Japanese bayonets, the forcibly captured laborers had no choice but to pick up tools and take on the task of filling in the road. Although, during the work, two deep trenches exploded again. However, the explosion injured and killed

It was the common people who were fighting. The Japanese soldiers who followed did not think anything was wrong. They threw the bodies of the wounded directly on the roadside and continued to force the common people to fill the ditch.

Soon, this situation reached the ears of the Eighth Route Army. Faced with the cruelty of the Japanese army, and at the same time in order not to harm the common people, the Eighth Route Army had to stop laying landmines and continued to dig deep trenches on the highway to slow down the march of the Japanese army.

.In this way, a lively competition was staged on several highways.

The Eighth Route Army dug a deep ditch at the front of the road, and the Japanese forced the people to fill the ditch behind. In this way, not only was the road not damaged, but it also slowed down the Japanese marching speed. It was just that the soldiers had a little more strength, but these physical tasks were not suitable for these people.

For the Eighth Route Army who came from peasant backgrounds, it was nothing.

Of course, the soldiers had many other ways besides digging roads to slow down the march of the Japanese army. Although the Japanese used ordinary people to clear the way in front of the team, so that the soldiers could not lay mines. However, the soldiers did have plenty of bullets in their hands.

Therefore, the Japs were constantly firing along the way.

The soldiers of the three newly formed regiments have a very large proportion of recruits. The accuracy of the soldiers is not as good as that of the veterans, but after a burst of gunfire, they will always encounter a few unlucky Japs. Therefore, the gains of the soldiers are still very large. Each

The soldiers of the battalion relied on cold shots and volleys of guns. Almost every day, a small group of Japanese troops made gains, but the soldiers had almost no casualties. This kind of tactics is the best for new regiments with a large proportion of recruits.

military training methods.

However, a small group of Japs is inconspicuous compared to a main regiment with nearly 4,000 troops. Therefore, these results are very huge for the soldiers. However, these losses are very significant for a Japanese regiment.

To be honest, it only hurt its fur and not even its muscles and bones. Therefore, although bursts of gunfire continued along the way, and several soldiers fell from time to time in the middle of the team, the Japanese army still marched forward as if nothing had happened.

A few days have passed, and the Japanese army has slowly approached the outskirts of the base area. I know that at this time, the People's War specifically against the Japanese army has just begun. Because, in the outskirts of the base area, the people do not have much recognition for the Eighth Route Army. So the people in the village

None of the villagers moved. The Japanese grabbed the guide, looked for drinking water, and replenished supplies... It was very easy, but now it was different.

Since the base area was in the early stages of the Japanese encirclement and suppression campaign, orders for counter-encirclement and suppression operations had been sent from the headquarters to each village. Under the guidance of cadres at all levels, the common people had transferred most of the industries in each village to the tunnels. And the common people

, except for some young and middle-aged people who stayed in the village to cooperate with the militia, the others were temporarily moved to the Zhangjiazhuang area, the center of the base area, under the organization of the base area government until the Japanese army retreated and returned to their hometown.

Therefore, the village in front of him did not smoke like the original village, but was lifeless, without any vitality. The team leader raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the silent village in front of him, showing a trace of anxiety.

Due to the continuous attacks by the Eighth Route Army in the past few days, the troop's trip has been delayed for a whole day. Although the troop's losses were not large and did not affect the overall combat effectiveness, the commander with rich combat experience always felt that this group of Eighth Route Army and

The national army in front was different. It seemed that there was some conspiracy waiting for him. So, looking at the silent village in front of him, the captain felt nothing but a little strange.

After surrounding the village to find out what was going on in the village, a small team of scouts was sent out by the commander. Looking at the Japanese team that had slowly entered the village, the commander breathed a sigh of relief and felt ridiculous for his worries just now.

"Your Excellency, Captain, please don't worry. How can those Eighth Route Army troops with broken guns compete with the powerful Imperial Army? At most, they will only conduct sneak attacks and will not pose any threat to our main force.

"The chief of staff said confidently when he saw the cautious commander coming to his side.

"Company Commander, the main force of the Japs Regiment is parked outside the village. However, a small team has been dispatched. It should be a reconnaissance force and is slowly entering the village." A soldier on the lookout came to the company commander's side and said.
