Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

The road ahead is still open.

But the vast wheat field before one's eyes was like an abyss that would devour anyone it chose. It was terrifying and made one dare not move forward.

And who knows if there are any other traps beyond this wheat field?

As for returning by the same route.

The old devil Hei Teng went back home without a second thought, which was really embarrassing for Lao Li.

What's more, the headquarters' order was to rush to Lijiaopo to reinforce the Yamazaki Battalion.

What appeared before them were just some mine traps used by the Eighth Route Army to block the advance of the Japanese army.

No ambush of the Eighth Route Army was found around.

Colonel Kurofuji quickly thought of a countermeasure. If the entire wheat field was not still lush green, he would have ordered the fire to be burned without hesitation.

In this way, even if the mine traps hidden in the wheat fields cannot be completely destroyed, they can all be exposed.

However, these wheat fields are obviously still green, so it would be difficult to burn them, and the efficiency would be too low.

After thinking for a moment, Colonel Heitian directly ordered the artillery to use shells to completely blast a passage in the wheat field.

The Japanese artillery shells were a simple, crude and effective way to counter the mines buried by the Eighth Route Army in the shallow soil.

The shock wave generated by the explosion of a shell can directly destroy the internal structure of an ordinary mine, thereby destroying the minefield.

Including bullet mines buried in shallow soil.

They will all be ineffective under the bombardment of the Japanese artillery shells.

Boom——

Amid the continuous explosions, a two or three meter wide passage was completely blown out in the central area of ​​the entire wheat field, through which not only the Japanese infantry could pass easily, but also some mechanized combat vehicles carried by the Japanese could pass.

The Japs' artillery fire was indeed abundant, as if it was free of charge.

After easily dealing with the sneak attack from the mines that might have been laid by the Eighth Route Army, Hei Teng once again ordered his troops to speed up their advance.

At this time, the old devil was speculating that the Eighth Route Army was using these mines to try every means to stop the Imperial Army from advancing. Was it possible that the main force of the independent regiment was indeed not in the base?

He led his troops forward all the way, and only encountered some resistance from small groups of the Eighth Route Army along the way.

If the independent regiment had only this much strength.

How could it be possible to destroy the Namwon Battalion within the base?

Thinking of this, Colonel Kurofuji no longer worried that his troops would be ambushed by the large force of the Eighth Route Army.

Instead, he was focused on rushing to Lijiaopo as soon as possible to cooperate with the besieged Yamazaki Battalion to eliminate the Eighth Route Army, especially the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

To help the Commander eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"Full speed ahead!"

Not far away, the Eighth Route Army soldiers were secretly observing all this.

I couldn't help but curse a few times.

These damn Japanese devils are so rich that they just use artillery shells to clear the way. This is too extravagant. When will our Eighth Route Army be able to fight such a wealthy war?

But on second thought, if we follow the regiment commander's ambush plan and completely wipe out the Japanese 113th Regiment, then wouldn't all of the Japs' equipment and ammunition belong to our independent regiment?

The company commander became excited at the thought and quickly arranged for the soldiers to retreat quietly and continue with the next step of trap deployment.

——"The Japanese thought they would be safe after crossing the wheat field? They thought too much.

We still have plenty of ways to deal with them later!"

……

Not long after, under the command of the old devil Kurofuji, nearly 113 troops of the Japanese 4000th Regiment passed through the wheat field area - of course, at this time the devil's team had a lot of wounded soldiers and dozens of casualties, but this loss was negligible for the Japanese field regiment.

However, the next two miles of the journey made the Japanese feel like they were in a nightmare.

The vanguard team of more than a dozen people who were advancing first were frequently attacked - either they stepped on landmines buried on the road, or they stepped on bullet mines and had their feet pierced by bullets. Every once in a while, there were deaths, and more wounded were carried to the rear.

The Japanese soldiers were all very nervous during the march.

I don’t know if these damn Eighth Route Army troops have buried strange mine traps everywhere along the way.

If you take a wrong step, you may end up dead or disabled.

From beginning to end, the Japanese soldiers didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, but the number of casualties in the team was increasing.

After marching two miles, the Japanese army suffered more than 100 casualties and more than 200 wounded.

A village that completely blocked the Japanese army's advance suddenly appeared before their eyes.

——This is also the only area blocked by a large number of man-made buildings on the relatively open advancement route chosen by the Japanese.

Looking from afar, the village seemed peaceful and quiet.

"Sir, it seems to be a village within the base of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment!"

The Japanese adjutant said on the side.

However, Colonel Kurofuji, who was observing through a telescope, immediately noticed something unusual. According to the current time period, if there were villagers in the village, they should be able to see cooking smoke.

However, there was no smoke from cooking in the village.

It was so quiet that not even a villager was seen.

The location of this village is unique, it is stuck on this relatively empty mountain road. The two sides of the village are blocked by mountains. If you want to pass through here, this village is the only way.

——As for bypassing the village and taking the steep mountain roads on both sides, the Japanese conventional infantry might be able to do it, but the towed artillery and mechanized combat vehicles they carried would not be able to pass.

Then there is only one way.

Push through this village!

The old Japanese soldier Hei Teng knew better than anyone that the village before them was most likely an ambush site where the Eighth Route Army had hidden its troops.

Out of caution, I chose a more open direction to advance. The Eighth Route Army wanted to set an ambush on me, and this village was their best choice.

only……

Not to mention that the main force of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment is most likely not within the base area.

Even if the main force of the independent regiment is in the base, there is only a dilapidated village in front of them.

Can they still stop the attack of his 113th Company?

There was a hint of sneer on Colonel Kurofuji's lips.

Old rules.

"Push the gunfire across!"

Despite searching for a long time, they did not detect any signs of living people in the village. Before entering the village, Hei Teng gave a special order, instructing the Japanese to use artillery to bombard the village for a long time.

The Japs used the rear-positioned artillery team, including the Type 75 infantry guns, 105mm mountain guns, and even several mm howitzers to clear the way.

As the shells flew down, the mud houses in the village, which were originally made of earth and stone, immediately collapsed and were destroyed in the explosion. In the blink of an eye, large areas of ruins and broken walls were seen, and the whole place was in a mess...
