Chapter 167 Landmines are beginning to show their power
"For the first time I went into battle, the important thing is not to panic. Just throw the grenade without pulling the strings as a garlic hammer." Meng Youtian said with a smile: "Ma Xiaowu, how are you? When you see the Japanese, can you pull the bolt?"
He deliberately joked, but Ma Xiaowu said seriously: "Look at what you say to people? Wouldn't the Japanese bleed even if they were shot? How could they be invulnerable to swords and guns?"
"Yes, the Japanese look similar to us." Meng Youtian stood up and learned ridiculous actions, saying, "It's still three-inch Ding, with a slinged leg, and walking like this, like this."
Hahahaha, the militia all laughed, and their nervousness eased a lot.
"I said Si Bazi, what did you steal last night?" Meng Youtian turned around and asked, "Fasting in the middle of the night is so stinking that I didn't sleep well until the morning."
"No, I eat the same food as everyone else." The Si Bazi scratched his head embarrassedly.
"I'll let Situo give the Japanese a bad fart later, so they won't dare to move forward any more." Xiaoquan said with a smile.
Meng Youtian and the others laughed for a while and said seriously: "Military soldiers from other villages can carry stretchers, stand guard, and transport public grain. If we can really kill this time, even if we hurt a few Japanese, it would be famous. Moreover, the villagers are hiding on the back of Nanshan Mountain, so we can only wander around here, and even if we beat them to death, we cannot lead the Japanese to harm the villagers. What, can everyone do it?"
"Don't worry, Arita." Wang Renyi patted his chest and said, "You explained it to everyone last night. Who doesn't understand this principle? At worst, you can fight the Japanese with these 100 pounds, and you will never let the Japanese harm our relatives."
"The whole village is watching us!" The four bald man pulled the bolt and said, "Let them see that we are not cowards, we must stop the Japanese."
"Okay, okay." Meng Youtian nodded repeatedly and said with relief: "When the Japanese are here, we will do it according to the agreed method. We must fight the wolf, but we cannot let the wolf bite it. This is the clever hunter."
Suddenly the small tree on the top of the mountain fell, Meng Youtian quickly made a gesture, Xiao Quan waved the red cloth to the militia who was responsible for hanging strings below. The air became tense, and Meng Youtian briefly explained a few more words. The militia all found a good position and looked at the avenue in the fortifications on the hillside.
After another meal, two militiamen hung up their strings, ran up, and lay beside Meng Youtian. At the same time, the enemy's figure appeared on the road in the distance.
"Everyone is calm. No one is allowed to shoot without my order." Meng Youtian repeated again in a low voice. He was very familiar with this place. It was the place where he killed the Japanese and saved Liu Feng last time. But this was the first time the militia saw a real Japanese. He said he was not nervous, that was fake.
The road was completely destroyed, and the cars were no longer useful. The Japanese could not wait for that long, so the Japanese really became an infantry brigade this time. First, there were a few Japanese cavalry, both reconnaissance and vanguards, while the brigade of Japanese behind them advanced along the trench.
The Japanese were really arrogant. In addition to the vanguards being more vigilant, the Japanese behind were walking in a row, as if they were not worried about being attacked.
Let's go, let's go, it's almost time to reach the minefield, it's almost time. Each of the militiamen held their breath, and they didn't blink, just waiting for the mine to ring.
The Japanese vanguard walked into the minefield. The militia man in charge of hanging strings couldn't help but raise his upper body and couldn't help but shout: "Room!" But his mouth opened, but he didn't shout. The Japanese were still walking forward swaying. His eyes were about to pop out, and his throat seemed to be blocked, and his face was flushed and he wanted to cry.
Meng Youtian's heart also shrank tightly. Seeing the Japanese brigade walking into the minefield, he immediately gave an order, "Prepare to shoot." He could only hear the heavy breathing of the militia, mixed with the sound of pulling the bolts.
After a while, he steadily pulled the plate machine, and a Japanese officer riding a horse fell down. Then, the guns of other militias also sounded. But at this distance, it was normal for the militiamen to hit the target, and it was a bit unexpected if they hit it.
As soon as the gunshot sounded, the enemy's formation immediately became messy. The Japanese searched for shelter everywhere. The Japanese running around finally stepped on the mines. Several thick smoke rose, and then they heard the explosion of "boom, boom, boom!"
Dayong seemed to have lifted the mountain pressing on his shoulders and shouted with great affection. The other militia were filled with joy as they saw the Japanese falling down a lot.
The arrogant Japanese did not expect to be hit, but they reacted very quickly and ran into the ditch on the right side of the road. However, they did not expect that they would also bury landmines according to Meng Youtian's idea. After a moment, there were another loud noise.
"Arita Shenji's tricks are so good, he's blown up!" Xiaoquan shouted, forgetting to shoot.
Meng Youtian smiled faintly, got up and said loudly, "Hurry, everyone retreat to the mountain."
Although it was already planned, some militias were unwilling to retreat. Several "country buns" militia were still pulling the trigger excitedly, and Meng Youtian had to kick each of them.
"Retreat quickly, this is a war, not a joke." Meng Youtian said loudly with a blue face.
Meng Youtian led the militia away from the position. As soon as he entered the woods, the Japanese had already bombarded with mortars. The gravel and soil chips on the position flew everywhere, and even a few small trees were lifted up.
The militia then realized that Meng Youtian's decision was correct. While admiring, they were also very ashamed. Looking at the smoke pillars that kept rising on the position just now, they secretly scolded that they had too little experience and that if they were still there, the shell would fall on their heads.
Meng Youtian rode on the back of a black mule, and smiled at several militiamen while walking, saying, "You are fighting very lively. What is the result of the battle? Who can be sure to fight the Japanese?"
"I'm just shooting into the crowd, and I don't know if it's going to be shot." A militia scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"So too." Another militia echoed.
"I just thought that the mines would not ring anymore, so I fired a shot." Dayong said: "Arita, you hit a horseman and I saw him fall. By the way, the mines exploded, and I saw them really look."
"I saw it too." A militia gestured and said, "With a bang, the Japanese around them all fell down."
"Not that powerful." Meng Youtian shook his head gently and said, "It may be that the Japanese lie down by themselves, or they may be shocked. However, even if one mine injured one, it would be seven or eight, which is a great achievement."
"Yes, yes." Dayong said excitedly: "There are eight landmines ringing in total. I'm counting them. This play works. Youtian, what should we do next?"
"What should I do?" Xiao Quan took the donkey, looked back at the dozens of mines carrying the donkey's back, and said: Find another place to use all these things!"
"Let's go to the village and follow the Japanese tail to see if there is any chance." Meng Youtian said: "The Japanese were beaten, but we didn't catch anything! This time we will go to the side of the road to handle the Japanese who are left alone."
"I don't care about anything else, so I want to get another ocean horse." Xiao Quan muttered as he walked, "I've finally tamed it, so you can give it to Erhuzi to join the army."
"We are all good brothers, so don't complain if you give them to him." Meng Youtian explained: "That's a war horse. We can't afford to raise it. It's useless to pull the plow and plow the land. It would be great to let the Erhuzi ride it and kill a few more Japanese."
"I saw the army and it was his turn to ride." Xiao Quan was still a little dissatisfied, "A war horse that had to be ridden by the Grand Official."
"No matter who rides, don't bury the good horses in our village." Meng Youtian continued to persuade: "The Matthew is so eye-catching that the Japanese will see it, and trouble will be indispensable."
Xiao Quan scratched his head and said nothing. He understood all the truths that Meng Youtian said. Today he vented his dissatisfaction. He was not complaining about Meng Youtian, but he felt more comfortable when he said it.
