The Japs behind looked numbly as they watched the truck slowly advance towards the minefield, especially the truck team leader, who seemed to have seen the end of his life!
The truck drove forward cautiously, and the leader of the Japanese truck team behind shouted loudly:
"You loser, are you going to find a cemetery for yourself if you drive so slowly? Drive quickly!"
The car soldier vaguely heard the squad leader's words and stepped on the accelerator. The truck spewed out a stream of black smoke and sped out violently.
The truck hit a landmine not far after it rushed out. The front wheels were triggered and the rear wheels just passed over.
"Bang"
The truck flew directly into the sky, and when it came down, the truck was in pieces.
The captain of the truck team looked extremely ugly. He was just asking his people to die!
The Wen Gu brothers and sisters in the distance looked at the Japanese performance with smiles on their faces as if they had picked up money.
"Brother, what else do you think the Japanese can do?"
"I don't know. Anyway, as long as the Japanese don't move, it's a success. It's really not suitable for a big battle now. The soldiers of the independent brigade are poorly trained!"
Hearing this, Wen Wen asked curiously, "Do you have any idea?"
"Let's wait until this battle is over. There is no time to think about those things now!" Wen Gu said, staring at the Japanese in the distance.
When Asai saw that the truck entered the minefield and was blown up quickly, his face became extremely ugly.
“Baga, can a mere minefield on Tubal Road stop the progress of our imperial warriors?
Where is the artillery squadron? Let them set up artillery positions immediately and blow up all the roads in front of me! "
Upon hearing this, the Japanese chief of staff immediately persuaded: "Your Excellency, Captain, if the road is blown up, our trucks will not be able to pass by.
Moreover, there are two brigades and the commander behind you. Are you going to let them walk into the Tubal Road base area? "
"Time, I need time now. If we can't arrive at the Black Wind Mountain base before noon tomorrow, the other two troops may be surrounded by Tubal Road.
I believe Captain Matsumoto will understand me! Get the artillery squadron into action immediately! "
The Japanese chief of staff went down to convey the order with a gloomy face. The Japanese artillery squadron had 6 92 infantry guns. After receiving the order, the artillery squadron immediately established a temporary position.
Of course the Wen Gu brothers and sisters in the distance also noticed the Japanese actions. Suddenly Wen Gu's eyes narrowed. He pointed at the artillery shells on the artillery position and asked:
"Little sister, look at the box behind the Japanese artillery. Is there a skull pattern on it?"
Hearing this, Wen Xin looked over there, and after a while she said, "That's right, what is that?"
Wen Gu smashed his fist into the soil, "That's a gas bomb developed by the Japanese using living people. These beasts are so abominable!"
"Bang..."
The Japanese shelling began. Shells continued to fall on the road. Shells from 6 cannons continued to fall on the road. Mines were detonated one by one.
Large potholes appeared on the road. Asai looked at the detonated landmines, light flashed in his eyes,
"Order the artillery fire to extend. I want to see how many landmines are buried on Tubal Road.
In addition, let our warriors bring all the supplies and prepare to walk into the base area of Tubal Road! "
As soon as the shelling stopped, the Japanese began to advance. Wen Gu turned around and ran away with Wen Xuan, all the way to the position of the first battalion.
Wen Gu found Qian Zhengyang and said, "Captain Qian, arrange for the soldiers to evacuate immediately. Time is very tight, so hurry up!"
"Evacuate?" Qian Zhengyang raised his head in surprise, "Why evacuate? Why didn't I receive the order from the regiment leader?"
"Battle Commander Qian, the Japanese have used artillery to clear the mines on the road, and are now heading here.
And I am very sure that the Japanese artillerymen brought poison gas bombs. Do you think we can resist the Japanese gas bombs without any preparation? "
"Poison gas bombs? Are you sure?" Qian Zhengyang was shocked. You must know that the Japanese rarely use poison gas bombs on the battlefield behind enemy lines, but it is not impossible.
"I'm sure, evacuate immediately. As for the rest, I'll handle it!" Wen Gu's tone couldn't help but become more urgent.
Qian Zhengyang looked at the child in front of him, and then at the soldiers around him. He hesitated for a long time before saying:
"I will report the situation here to the regiment and brigade headquarters, but my first battalion will never withdraw before the order to retreat is issued!"
Zhu Xu listened to Qian Zhengyang's words and quietly called the battalion reconnaissance company over, "Can you confirm that the Japanese have brought poison gas bombs?"
The soldier shook his head, "Instructor, it's too far away and we can only vaguely see the Japanese artillery positions. As for whether there are poison gas bombs, we can't see them.
But if they say they do, then they definitely do. Don’t you know what they are capable of? "
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the transparent Xu Baichuan came out,
"Battle Commander Qian, I admire your courage even more, but since the Japanese have brought gas bombs, you should evacuate first, okay?"
Qian Zhengyang refused to give any face, "Without the order from the regiment headquarters, the first battalion will never withdraw!"
"Are the words of my dignified colonel the special commissioner of the national government useless at all?" Xu Baichuan roared. Now even a battalion commander does not take him seriously.
"Commissioner Xu, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but I must have an order from the regiment headquarters,
Even if the Japanese really use gas bombs, I have to buy time for the troops behind me so that they can be fully prepared! "
Qian Zhengyang's words silenced everyone. Wen Gu thought for a while before saying:
"Battle Commander Qian, it's going to be dark soon. The possibility of the Japanese attacking at night is not very high. Now I have a plan for you to listen to.
You lead the troops to withdraw from the position first. We brothers and sisters will guard the position. Once the Japanese approach, we will send out a signal. How about you come back? "
Qian Zhengyang shook his head when he heard it, "Not so good? Xiaogu, I know your strength, and I also know that you two brothers can rush out of the position to avoid the enemy gas bombs when they are launched.
But there is a question, have you ever thought about it? If the Japanese are not strongly blocked, they will not use poison gas bombs. "
Wen Gu slapped his head and forgot all about it. The main reason was that the gas bomb put a lot of pressure on Wen Gu.
Because if a mistake is made, the entire battalion of hundreds of soldiers may be sacrificed here.
While they were talking, the Japanese brigade had already appeared in the sight of the Eighth Route Army, and everyone immediately took cover.
Wen Xin pulled Wen Gu and ran towards the flank of the position, "Brother, we just need to capture the Japanese artillery positions and fight them!"
Wen Gu ran out after him. This was all he could do now, but the Japanese protected the artillery squadron very well.
The possibility of aborting it in advance like before is too slim.
Asai looked at the rapidly advancing troops and felt very proud. Who said that our imperial warriors can't fight without trucks? This marching speed is very good.
"Baga, why did you stop?" Asai noticed that the troops had slowed down and immediately cursed.
