The duel between the two sides is not only a meat-to-meat, gun-to-gun fight, and the engineer platoon lurking on the side of the road, it is also a battle.
The heart of every soldier in the engineer platoon is a highly concentrated guard, don't look at the many people who were careless when they were marching just now, as soon as they stopped, lurked, and really carried out the task, no one would not worry.
The soldiers of the engineer platoon are sometimes a little scattered, but they are all people who have seen a big battle, some of them have survived the purgatory in Shanghai, some have escaped death from Nanjing, and some have come from Xuzhou.
Because they have experienced a lot of this kind of scene, they have experience and methods, and the silent lurking is often more dangerous, and the muzzles of the sappers and soldiers have never left after aiming at the road.
From He Jinhai down, the entire engineer platoon has been guarding the side of the highway for more than an hour, and He Jinhai, the platoon commander, is still looking out with binoculars as usual, and he didn't even eat steadily when he was eating just now, for fear that devils would suddenly emerge on the highway.
In front of He Jinhai, the top group of the engineer platoon was even more nervous than their platoon commander, and in the three-person combat group, the squad leader who led the team widened his eyes and looked at the road, while the other two soldiers, a sergeant and a first-class private, took into account the field on both sides, and took the entire section of the road in front of them into their eyes, and the rifle in the squad leader's hand and the Chinese-made Czech light machine gun operated by two sergeants were facing the entrance of the road.
There are also four blasting canisters that are basically useless now, and a red flag used by sappers when they work.
Three people, in the front, not only in the front of the sapper platoon, but in a way the teaching brigade and the defenders of the second-line positions in the front, these three stood out in the front, knew their duties well, and looked at the road at every moment.
The squad leader pressed his shoulder against the rifle, and the strap of the rifle was wrapped around the rifle body, and he held it with his hand, which strengthened the stability of the shot.
The sergeant squad leader scanned the road left and right in the way of aiming, and the squad leader, a former engineer of the Army Armored Corps, was less nervous than when he was bombarded by Japanese naval artillery in Shanghai more than two years ago and saw his own Vickers six-ton tank and infantry destroyed in the artillery fire.
The lurking time is not short, the equipment, vegetation, and concealment all over the body make the butt of the squad leader's Zhongzheng rifle already soaked with sweat, mixed with gun oil, and stimulates the squad leader's nose.
"Squad leader, I'll take you for a while" A private of the first class, a rare soldier in the engineer platoon who is not a non-commissioned officer, the co-shooter of the Czech light machine gun rolled to the side of the squad leader with two twenty-round Czech magazines in his hand.
This private is the most relaxed of the three, with little load, only a machine gun magazine, bullets and a gun cloth, an oil can, and the machine gun crew does not need to carry a blaster canister, and the only equipment on the whole body is the machine gunner's shoulder pads and magazine bag.
Compared to most of the people in the engineer platoon, this load was simply too comfortable, and the disadvantage, of course, was that this secondary shooter had no other weapons except a bayonet.
"Go back, who the told you to move, I'll hold on" The first class soldier was scolded by the squad leader in a low voice.
This was followed by the low roar of the sergeant operating the Czech light machine gun.
"Get back" The machine gunner was very angry, he was too observant, and his assistant shooter actually moved, and ran to the squad leader to show his eyes.
Obviously, this first-class soldier is not rich enough in combat, and the lurking post is the most taboo to expose.
The first class returned to his combat position in a gloomy manner, and continued to do his job, and the three of them returned to their original latent posture and observed dutifully.
In the section of the road in front of the highway where the engineer platoon lurked, six Japanese 94-type trucks that were not so good-looking, or even somewhat mottled, were speeding on the road.
On the compartment of the first truck, a Japanese corpse was slanted on the car, and blood flowed down the compartment until it was outside, and the car drove by, leaving a stain of blood on the road.
These six vehicles were the Japanese troops who had just been engaged with the headquarters of the First Field Supplementary Regiment of the Fifth Army by the infantry squadron of the Takeda Brigade sent by Miki's troops to reinforce the Takeda Brigade.
In the fierce battle just now, the Japanese army also realized that for the infantry, the speed of the car is more important than the advantage of firepower, and in a hurry to reinforce the Takeda brigade, the accelerator of the six vehicles was stepped on to the maximum, and the rolling wheels kicked up smoke and dust on the road.
A squadron of Japanese infantrymen loaded on a vehicle, on high alert on both sides of the road, endured the noise of truck engines and the twisting of the wagons, and headed straight for the rear of the Takeda Brigade.
However, the first thing they approached was the engineer platoon of the teaching brigade that had gone out to search and reconnoitre The striker of the engineer platoon, the trio still performed their duties, and the squad leader, machine gun shooter and assistant shooter had a full view of the road section and field ahead.
In the vegetation where they were lurking, there was a sudden sensation in the position where the light machine gun shooter was lurking.
The Heavy scolded in a low voice: "What the hell are you doing, your ass is uncomfortable, I use the Czech style to give you everything" "There seems to be movement in front of you."
The co-shooter said timidly.
As soon as these words came out, the machine gunner and the squad leader looked away, the road was empty, but looking ahead, there seemed to be a cloud of smoke at the end of the road, the smoke and dust were getting closer and closer, and the noise in the air was getting more and more.
"Damn, there's a situation, don't move when you're ready" The squad leader reacted first, let the machine gun team around him not move, grabbed the red flag, put his body on the bottom, put the rifle on the side, raised the red flag with his left hand, and shook it significantly.
The red flag of engineer operation is extremely obvious in the eyes of this group of veterans who have undergone engineering operation training, and the soldiers come from different backgrounds, most of them are infantry leaders, and they have all undergone professional training for engineers after being organized into engineer platoons.
The red flag indicates that there is a situation in front, and the forward transmits the news to the back, and then the news of the discovery of the situation is transmitted to the back in turn "Platoon commander, there is a situation" After receiving the news, He Jinhai raised the telescope, and the smoke and dust in front of him moved at high speed, and when He Jinhai observed, the car was accompanied by the sound of the engine, which was already very obvious on the highway.
A convoy, on the road, was heading towards the engineer platoon, in the direction of the second-line positions Read the URL:
