Because they had learned from previous experience, the Japanese army did not deploy many troops on Position 3, and the Japanese commander's command post did not go deep, but was placed on the north side of a hill near the mountain pass.

After staying near position No. 3 for more than an hour, the Japanese army still adopted the same method, asking the puppet troops to mine mines for them in front. A Japanese squadron followed closely behind the puppet troops.

However, this time the little devil's calculation was wrong. Near the main position, the mines Zhao Zhiguo and the others deployed were string-like mines. They have similar principles to grenades. They can be regarded as burying grenades there.

It's just a lead on the position.

Qin Dongsheng saw the puppet army walking in front and deliberately let the puppet army pass.

Seeing that the puppet troops passed by very safely, the little Japanese felt relieved that there were no mines ahead. When the leading Japanese troops entered the mine array, Qin Dongsheng immediately ordered the soldiers to pull the strings.

More than 200 landmines were buried on both sides of the road, and they were not powerful enough to collect in sufficient numbers.

"Boom boom boom"

The explosion produced thick smoke that obscured the entire highway, as if suddenly encountering a cloud of fog. After the explosion, the soldiers on the position could not see the highway at all, but they heard a wailing sound.

If you are not very close, the explosion of the land mine is not enough to kill people. What can hurt people are the broken pieces of ceramics produced by the explosion. If the broken pieces of ceramics do not hit the vital points, they will not be enough to kill the kid on the spot.

More than half of the soldiers of a small Japanese squadron were injured in the mine array, but only a dozen of them died on the spot.

When the thick smoke dissipated, the soldiers on the battlefield saw little Japs lying on the road, wailing, and rolling on the ground in pain.

"Everyone obeys my order and is not allowed to shoot at will!" Qin Dongsheng also saw the scene on the highway.

The little Japanese soldiers were indeed battle-hardened. In the blink of an eye, half of the squadron's soldiers were injured or killed. The remaining soldiers immediately made a judgment and threw smoke bombs to protect the injured soldiers.

"Company commander, the kid is setting off cigarettes. They want to rescue the wounded!"

Qin Dongsheng originally wanted to let the soldiers shoot the kid while he was rescuing the wounded, but he didn't expect that the kid actually brought a smoke bomb.

"Order the grenade squads in each platoon to move forward two hundred meters! Attack the Japanese army!" Qin Dongsheng ordered, "The remaining soldiers opened fire on the puppet troops and covered the soldiers in the grenade squad."

It doesn't matter if there are smoke bombs, they now have a grenade squad in each platoon, and each squad has three grenades.

Following Qin Dongsheng's order, the grenade squads of each platoon jumped out of the trenches one after another. While the smoke bombs of the little Japs had not dissipated, blocking the little Japs' field of vision, the grenadier soldiers moved forward quickly.

The puppet troops in front did not expect that there was no explosion when they passed the minefield. On the contrary, when the little devils passed through the minefield, the whole army was almost annihilated.

When the puppet troops wanted to retreat back the same way, the machine guns on the position fired fiercely, blocking the puppet troops' retreat. Every time the puppet troops took a step back, they had to pay the price of more than a dozen soldier casualties.

When the soldiers on the position launched an attack on the puppet troops, the grenadier soldiers also took up their positions one after another. There was no need to look for targets, because they knew that the little Japs were rescuing the wounded in the smoke.

"Boom boom boom"

The bomb fell into the smoke screen, and the little Japanese who rescued the wounded was not prepared at all. Suddenly he was violently attacked. The little Japanese immediately gave up rescuing the wounded and wanted to retreat.

However, it was difficult to tell the direction amid the smoke bombs, and grenade shells were constantly exploding all around, making the little Japs scurry around like headless flies.

In just ten minutes, only a dozen soldiers of a Japanese squadron fled back along the road.

The puppet army had no support from the Japanese army and had no intention of resisting. They just wanted to withdraw as soon as possible. The puppet army left behind more corpses than the corpses of the little Japanese.

Qin Dongsheng won the first battle. They almost wiped out a Japanese squadron and most of the puppet battalion without losing a single casualty.

Taro Yamamoto was shocked when he saw that only a dozen soldiers from one of their squadrons had escaped back. The sound of gunfire only lasted less than half an hour, and their squadron was almost wiped out.

"How is the firepower deployed on the Chinese army's positions?"

Taro Yamamoto believed that since they had lost so many troops, they should at least be able to find out how many troops there were on the Chinese army's position and how the firepower was deployed.

However, the soldiers who escaped shook their heads helplessly: "Reporting to your Excellency, the captain, our team did not see where the Chinese army was at all, and then it was violently attacked. In an instant, the entire road was filled with smoke. By the time we could see

When we got clear, we found half of our soldiers lying on the road, and while we were rescuing the wounded, we came under heavy artillery fire."

"What attacked you? Grenade or artillery of the Chinese army!" Taro Yamamoto wanted to capture every detail.

"It was like a landmine! When the smoke cleared, I saw pieces of porcelain scattered on the road, and some broken porcelain pieces were also embedded in the bodies of our injured soldiers."

"No wonder the Chinese army gave up their most advanced positions so easily. It turns out that they had already prepared mine formations! Moreover, these mines were all mines they made themselves. They have limited power and must have been deployed at a considerable density."

"Your Excellency, the commander, can hit one of our squadrons in a short period of time. I think the number of mines laid by the Chinese army is at least about 300." A Japanese military staff member analyzed.

"I don't know if the Chinese army has laid mines elsewhere. Our mine detectors cannot work on porcelain mines. If engineers are used to clear the mines, they will become targets for Chinese soldiers to practice marksmanship."

The Japanese commander was very distressed. If there was a second such mine array in front of the Chinese position, it would definitely cause huge casualties to their other squadron.

"The losses of the Manchu Army this time are also very huge. Two battalions have been disabled. It is estimated that if they are used to lead the battle, the Chinese army on the position will be able to eliminate them without exposing much firepower."

Taro Yamamoto also knew that the puppet Manchukuo army could no longer be used unless they transferred another Manchu army unit from the rear to the front line. However, it would take at least two days to transfer the nearest puppet Manchukuo army to the front line.

"It seems that the only option we have is to attack by force!"

After analyzing for most of a day, the Japanese army had no better solution. Although they knew that the Chinese army's position was there, they didn't know anything about how many troops there were on the position and what the firepower was.

If Taro Yamamoto knew that their planes bombed Zhao Zhiguo's main position for four or five days, dropping more than ten tons of bombs, without causing any casualties to Zhao Zhiguo and the others, I wonder if Taro Yamamoto would be so angry that he vomited blood.
