When all the landmines are detonated, there will be very few Japs left standing in the entire minefield, or even within thirty meters outside the minefield!
Compared with the Japanese who were killed on the spot, the injured Japanese were even more miserable. The nails or iron pieces mixed in the landmines are very lethal. Many Japanese soldiers' bones were broken by the iron pieces, and the wounds were surprisingly large.
This kind of landmine is more powerful than the anti-infantry landmine just produced by the Japanese, and its killing range is much larger. The number of uninjured Japanese in the entire central and front sections of Kudo's brigade accounted for less than one-fifth. Many of the Japanese were still in the stream, their teeth chattering from the cold and their faces turning blue.
Kudo burst into tears.
More than half of his brigade had suffered casualties, and almost all the heavy equipment fell to the ground. It was not clear whether it could still be used.
What worries him even more is that there are too many casualties, both minor and serious. It might be better if all these people were blown up. At least the remaining Japs could be directed to move quickly.
Could he leave those injured Japanese alone? Obviously not, otherwise there will be serious dereliction of duty charges waiting for him in the military court.
"What kind of landmine is this? How could the Chinese Army have such a thing? This is completely an anti-human bomb!" Kudo's mouth trembled slightly, and he complained about all this with a painful look on his face.
He seemed to have forgotten his side's brutal invasion of the entire land of China. What more than these were the numerous crimes they committed?
Fortunately, no national army came to attack them at this time. If they came at this time, they would definitely be defeated.
Finally, the Japs counted the number of casualties: 288 Japs died on the spot, and 368 Japs were injured. More than half were seriously injured and lost the ability to move, let alone fight.
Well, these data are indeed very auspicious and very local.
Countless light and heavy warriors were damaged, including Japanese trucks, infantry artillery, mountain artillery, field artillery and the largest caliber heavy artillery all lying on the ground.
"Kudo-don, do we still want to go forward?" a squadron leader asked cautiously.
Kudo was already so angry that he vomited blood. When he heard his subordinates asking such stupid things, he raised his legs and kicked the devil down. He also knocked down two wounded soldiers who had just stood up!
"Idiot! Report it to the command center immediately. Our unit was attacked by a special mine from the national army and suffered heavy losses. Please return to the original station for rest and recuperation!" Kudo almost shouted out his words, and his lungs almost exploded.
They didn't even see the appearance of the national army, and a large group of troops was defeated so miserably. They had never encountered such an attack method before, and they had never seen or heard of such landmines.
When the Japanese frontline headquarters received the news from Kudo's brigade and related casualty data, the entire headquarters went crazy.
They didn't know when the national army had such ferocious landmines. Neither the intelligence department nor the special high-tech department had any news in this regard. Some Japanese even doubted whether this thing was obtained from Mustache. Only they could produce such a powerful mine.
If they all lay mines on the road like this, how can the large army march? You can't throw away all the heavy weapons, right? That is one of their most powerful offensive weapons.
This is destined to be a rather unsolvable matter, leaving the Japanese scratching their heads and giving them a huge headache.
The Japanese headquarters fell into an eerie silence. Even if they had not been to the minefield in person, they could still imagine what it was like.
At the foot of Huanglin Slope, Kudo Japs finally gathered his troops.
When I arrived, I was ambitious, arrogant, and extremely confident. At this time, each one of them is similar to a defeated rooster. They didn't even notice the Ignition soldiers who retreated in time. The miserable screams of the injured Japanese one after another made everyone feel extremely depressed.
Because the truck was damaged, the heavy equipment could not be taken back. More uninjured Japanese soldiers had to carry the seriously injured soldiers back slowly.
At this time, the overall combat capability of the Kudo Brigade has declined infinitely, and may not even be able to compare with a squadron with high morale.
After the Japanese were gone, Wen Sancai led the team to the foot of Huanglin Slope. He had been observing the situation here with a telescope before, but he never expected that the land mines here would be so ferocious. A confident smile finally appeared on his face. It turns out that anything can be used to great effect.
"Liu Dezhu insists on getting the mines he made. We have to ask them to prepare more in the future, so as to give the Japanese army a long memory from time to time." Pang Dun exclaimed.
The power of this thing is really beyond words.
Wen San was thinking about how to get more gunpowder and related materials. The gunpowder Zhou Zhengbiao brought back yesterday has basically been used up. Although master and apprentice Liu Dezhu can make fuzes, they still need materials.
"The Japanese not only carried away the wounded, but also took away the dead bodies. He is really a filial son and a virtuous grandson." A soldier said in surprise after observing.
"It's no use leaving the carcasses of those animals. I think some of the heavy equipment might still be usable." Pang Dun stared at the equipment lying on the side of the road. In fact, most of it had been blown up.
"Don't worry about these tattered equipment for now. Soldiers from the reconnaissance platoon and the teaching team should hold down me to put a little more pressure on the Japanese. They are walking a little slowly." Wen San felt a little regretful.
He really didn't expect that the land mines were so weak. If some troops were deployed on Huanglinpo to attack the Japs on the spot when they were blown over, would it have caused greater casualties to the Japs?
The answer is yes, but it is hard to say whether the Japs will find out the clues in advance. Generally speaking, the deployment of this minefield has achieved sufficient results. Next is the ambush at Jiazigou.
The Japanese would probably never imagine that their team would ambush them from behind, just waiting for their team to retreat back the same way.
When Pangdun's reconnaissance platoon and Zhou Zhengbiao's teaching team pressed forward, there was a real commotion in the Japanese team. They were bombed so badly that they wanted to avenge the Japanese who were sent to hell.
But most of these Japanese soldiers were carrying wounded soldiers and corpses. In addition to losing most of their heavy equipment, they really couldn't organize a decent counterattack for a while.
"Speed up the march of the troops, don't get entangled with them, and wait until you have rested before attacking." Major Kudo also saw that the morale of his troops was quite low, and there were so many wounded soldiers to take care of, so this battle was impossible to fight.
Seeing the Japs speeding up their march, Pangdun and the others didn't press too hard. They just chased after them and fired cold shots, one at a time, but they didn't cause much harm to the Japs.
Soon, the remaining Japanese troops had retreated into Jiazigou. Kudo still had long-term considerations, and under such circumstances, he still planned to send two teams to the stronghold on the top of the mountain.
