    Because the Japanese army responded so quickly, there was not much preparation time left for Wang Xiaoming. However, Wang Xiaoming, who had been tempered by many years of arduous guerrilla career, had already begun preparations after leaving the main force led by Liu Changshun.  ¡¾.Com text¡¿

    Although due to time constraints, the deployment was not sufficient.  However, because many of the Japanese army's original fortifications could be used, the link of building blocking fortifications was omitted.  Before the arrival of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, general preparations had been completed.

    Wang Xiaoming seized the 500 mines Liu Changshun left for him from Xingshan Fortress. All the Japanese-style mines originally laid out after the construction of the fortress was completed were buried on the road from Xingshan Street into the mountain to the front of Guanmenzuizi Mountain.  .

    In order to increase the power of the mines, Wang Xiaoming also tied grenades and bullets to the mines to increase the power of the explosion when laying them out.

    Wang Xiaoming, who had listened to Yang Zhen giving lectures to the reconnaissance camp, did not follow the routine of laying landmines and laid them in front of his own position.  Instead, they adopted a false and false burying method, starting from the moment the road entered the mountain.  He had placed mines on the road and in the mountains on both sides of the road where it was easy to walk.

    In addition to landmines, Wang Xiaoming was also at the foot of a hill a kilometer away from his main position. As the only slightly wider open space nearby, Wang Xiaoming believed that it could be used as a gathering place for the Japanese attack.  , nearly two tons were buried and electric detonators were installed, explosives that could be detonated using a field telephone as a power source.

    Although Wang Xiaoming had not mentioned Yang Zhen¡¯s shocking explosion at the Wudaohezi Iron Mine, he had heard of it.  Wang Xiaoming has always been fascinated by the battle in which thousands of Japanese puppet troops were wiped out without firing a single shot, using only part of the captured explosives.  Although the terrain in front of him was not as dangerous as the Wudaolingzi Iron Mine, it made Wang Xiaoming feel that he could repeat the commander's tactics here.

    Anyway, the Japanese army transported several tons of ammonium nitrate explosives to build Xingshan Fortress.  Although it is not as powerful as military-standard TNT explosives, it is fortunate that the quantity is sufficient.  Instead of making cannonballs, the explosive power of ammonium nitrate explosives is enough to build fortresses.  Since there are no solid fortifications, there is no need to use the few TNTs that I have on hand, which are powerful but relatively expensive.

    Although the arrangement is a bit hasty.  Especially since there are no professional engineers, no one can calculate the distance between the points where the explosives are buried and the buried equivalent. After all, these require extremely professional engineering knowledge.  But fortunately there are enough explosives.

    Wang Xiaoming¡¯s painstaking arrangements were not in vain, and all of them were used on the third cavalry brigade that was galloping all the way.  Before the attack was launched, the leading troops of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade suffered heavy casualties as soon as they entered the mountain.

    The quality of the military roads built by the Japanese army was quite good. After crossing the Songhua River, it only took half a day to arrive at Xingshan Street, south of Xingshan Fortress. It was a smooth journey.  After recapturing Xingshan Street, which had relatively good fortifications, without firing a shot, Major General Naoda Yoshi, who had been a little uneasy along the way, relaxed.

    In his opinion, maybe the opponent simply retreated after occupying the fortress because they were unable to defend it.  Otherwise, according to military common sense, if you want to defend Xingshan Fortress from the south, you must hold it. As the outpost of the fortress, Xingshan Street will not be without a ghost except for the collapsed coal mines everywhere.

    Before he could relax, Major General Naoda Yoshi breathed a sigh of relief. After entering the mountain, he realized that his hard days were coming.  As soon as they entered the mountain, the leading cavalry squadron fell into a minefield and was killed and injured by the mines that exploded everywhere. Most of the squadron was killed and injured.

    Naoda Yoshi, who lost most of his squadron without firing a single shot, looked at the dead people and horses on the ground, and his face instantly turned ashen.  At this moment, almost one-sixth of the few troops he had on hand were lost at once.  Looking at the vast mountains around him, Naoda Yoshi felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

    Sending cavalry, which is more suitable for plain assault operations, to fight in mountain warfare is to use your own shortcomings to counter the opponent's strengths.  Now that the opponent has mines, and he doesn't even have an engineer on hand, the outcome of this battle may not be good.

    After asking Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru several times whether to wait for the arrival of the 104th Division, Major General Naoda Yoshi could only bite the bullet and ordered the troops to dismount and leave all the horses in Xingshan after entering the mountain to no avail.  street.  Everyone formed a formation and walked into the mountain.

    But what happens next is not optimistic.  Although he voluntarily gave up his war horses and became infantry.  But the mines laid by the opponent are almost endless.  There are some on the road, on the mountains on both sides of the road, and even in the bushes on both sides of the road.  There are even some trip mines tied with grenades and hung in the bushes in inconspicuous places.  It looks harmless, but if you walk in, it might explode.

    The most exaggeratedIt was a Japanese soldier who was in urgent need of urination. He ran to the side of the road and wanted to pee.  Although he was careful, he still tripped a trip mine buried with a grenade bundled in the grass beside the road.  Not only was he blown up into the sky, but he also implicated several combat groups who were marching behind him.  The grenades exploded in the air and shrapnel flew in all directions, pricking the Japanese soldiers into hedgehogs.

    Fortunately, the formation was very wide. Although there were not many Japanese soldiers who won the lottery and the marching speed was very slow, the overall casualties were reduced a lot.  But even so, the soldiers who were injured and killed by landmines along the way plus more than half of the squadron who were casualties when they first entered the mountain were enough to make up a squadron.

    Fortunately, after arriving at the front line of Guanmenzuizi Mountain, no one finally stepped on those weird and weird landmines that were planted everywhere.  Looking at Guanmenzuizi Mountain, which was less than a kilometer away from them in a straight line, almost all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade who were about to go crazy after being tortured by the landmines showed an expression of finally being relieved on their faces.

    Nearly all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade believed that being killed by bullets was better than being blown to pieces or disabled by a loaded mine that appeared at some point.  They were almost to the point of collapse due to the torment of these mines that were so weirdly planted that even peeing could release dangerous results.

    It¡¯s just that all the Japanese officers and soldiers of the Third Cavalry Brigade did not know that their opponent and the reconnaissance platoon under his opponent who planted these mines only learned less than 30% of the skills of their top commander.

    "If the opponent's top commander who had learned how to lay booby traps decades later came, with their small number of troops, it would be good if half of them could reach Guanmenzuizi Mountain safely.

    You must know that the Chinese army of later generations, which experienced mine warfare in the Anti-Japanese War and the mine warfare in the ten-year border war between China and Vietnam, claimed to be second in the tactics of laying booby traps. Absolutely no one dared to claim to be first.  Especially Yang Zhen, who has learned special minelaying tactics, his unique skills are definitely the best in this world and this era.

    ¡°If Yang Zhen saw these so-called booby traps arranged by Wang Xiaoming that were full of flaws in his eyes, he would have to scold him for embarrassing himself.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:??????????????????????? Hang the trip mines in an inconspicuous place in the bushes, and just do a little camouflage. Is this also called a booby trap?  After laying the mines on the hillside, let alone covering the mines with a layer of fresh grass to camouflage them.

    This is also the first attempt. The inexperienced Japanese army would not even be able to step on one if it were Yang Zhen himself.  An entire cavalry squadron was lost there?

    Of course, Yang Zhen thought that the booby trap array deployed by Wang Xiaoming from the beginning of entering the mountain to the front line of Guanmenzuizi Mountain was embarrassing for him. That was a matter later.  But at this moment, the officers and soldiers of the third cavalry brigade who were still intact, from Naoda Yoshi to the most ordinary soldiers below, all breathed a sigh of relief.

    Looking at the Guanmenzuizi Mountain less than a kilometer away from him through the telescope, Major General Naoda Yoshi knew that as long as he passed this mountain pass, behind him would be his destination, the core position of Xingshan Fortress, the mountain line.  As long as he takes the front line of the mountain, his mission should be completed.

    Looking at the tired look on his face, in order to avoid winning the bid, because the skirmishing line was wide open, the subordinates were still arriving one after another.  Major General Naoda Yoshi could only find a slightly flat terrain to organize his team first.  The troops were moving in a mess, and with the artillery still jumping in circles behind them, it was impossible to defend, let alone launch an attack.

    However, for the sake of reliability, Major General Naoda Yoshi did not immediately move his troops to the flat land. Instead, after the only artillery squadron carrying horses among the troops that had been converted to infantry arrived, he drove all the horses pulling the artillery.  I ran a few laps on the flat ground.  Only after it was confirmed that there were no landmines did he deploy his headquarters and troops there as a starting point for the attack.

    It¡¯s just that Major General Naoda Yoshi, who was busy organizing his troops, didn¡¯t know that there were indeed no mines here, and it was also outside the main fire range of Guanmenzuizi Mountain.  And because there is a hill separated from Guanmenzuizi Mountain, the opponent's artillery fire is blocked. In a seemingly safe place, there are explosives buried in the ground that can blow up their whole brigade.

    In fact, not far away from him, even under the security position he had set up, Wang Xiaoming, who was holding a telescope to carefully observe his movements, looked at his actions of organizing his troops, with an imperceptible sly smile on his lips.

    The sly smile on his lips made his hair stand on end. The platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon, who was holding a field phone used as a detonator in his hand, saw that most of the Japanese troops had entered the open area, so he asked softly:  "Political Commissar, is it ready to explode?"

    Wang Xiaoming, who was holding a telescope, said calmly: "Don't worry, the Japanese have not all entered the open ground yet. Wait for a while, this time I will take a spoonful of them."It's all cooked.  It's a pity that there are only two squadrons and one artillery squadron, so there are a few people.  It would be great if there were a group of Japs.  "

    If Wang Xiaoming was dissatisfied, the reconnaissance platoon leader didn't know what to say.  Are there too few Japanese troops in two squadrons?  If we go head-to-head and fight a real fight.  He, the political commissar Wang, did not even think that with his strength of only one battalion and the independent companies made up of miscellaneous prisoners of war, with the existing equipment, it would be good to be able to take down a squadron of the opponent.

    He thought that in the battle at Qunce Mountain, his side had an absolute advantage in artillery cover.

    But since commander Wang Xiaoming is not in a hurry, what should his subordinate worry about?  The two of them slowly waited here for all the Japanese troops who were still rushing here to enter the open area.  It wasn't until Major General Naoda Yoshi, who was resting on a rock, stood up and stood in front of the assembled Japanese troops, just in time to give a lecture, that Wang Xiaoming waved his hand slowly.

    When tons of explosives were detonated, the open area where a large number of Japanese troops had just concentrated almost turned into a hell on earth.  When Major General Naoda Yoshi was torn into pieces by the violent explosion, the only thought that stayed in his mind was: "Baga, you still fell into the Chinese people's trick."

    Major General Naoda Yoshi and his main force of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade were completely wiped out. However, the small team and heavy machine gun team placed on the guard position on the hill had not yet woken up from the shock caused by the explosion.  , was hidden at the foot of the mountain. The defenders suddenly appeared and swept across with a burst of submachine guns, killing and wounding the remains.  Wang Xiaoming wiped out the main force of the Japanese cavalry third brigade with almost zero casualties.

    Although it was said that the Japanese Third Cavalry Brigade was neatly eliminated in one move.  But when the 108th Regiment arrived later and saw the stumps and broken arms at the explosion site, instead of being frightened like the Fourth Division, they retracted like a thunderstorm.  The attack actually made Wang Xiaoming feel tremendous pressure.
