Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

"Platoon leader, can I pull it later?"

Xiao Wang asked his platoon leader quietly.

"Well, you can prepare it. Pull it as soon as you get close to the mine!"

After hearing He Ming's words, Xiao Wang became even more excited.

As the Japanese engineers slowly approached the landmine, at He Ming's command, the young soldier directly pulled the fuse and detonated the landmine in front of the engineer.

With a loud bang, a group of Japanese soldiers who were clearing mines were instantly blown to pieces.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Wang was so excited that he wanted to jump up and cheer, but was immediately pulled down by He Ming.

"You're crazy, Xiao Wang!"

"Don't die!"

When Xiao Wang heard He Ming's scolding, he didn't say anything. He looked at the Japanese soldiers who were blown to pieces excitedly, and then his eyes turned red.

"Sergeant, I won't do that again next time. I'm so happy."

"Platoon leader, I can finally avenge my village!"

Looking at Xiao Wang's red eyes, He Ming didn't say much.

In the entire platoon, there is no family that does not have a deep hatred for the Japanese.

Xiao Wang was rescued by him personally when a group of Japanese soldiers came to the countryside to raid and massacre villages.

When their battalion rushed to the rescue, they were a step too late, and Xiao Wang was the only one left in the entire village.

Finally, after the Japanese were wiped out, Xiao Wang followed their battalion to join the Eighth Route Army.

Thinking of this, He Ming reminded.

"Xiao Wang, I understand how you feel, but next time you must remember not to be impulsive."

"You are still young. You will definitely be able to kill more devils in the future."

Xiao Wang nodded.

"Sorry, Platoon Leader. I'll take note of it. I won't do it again next time."

Hearing Xiao Wang say this, He Ming felt relieved.

Afterwards, seeing that the Japanese engineers were continuing to clear mines not far away, he immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare for the second wave.

When the remaining Japanese engineers continued to clear mines, He Ming immediately ordered his subordinates to pull the fuse and prepare grenades to greet other Japanese soldiers when the remaining engineers entered the minefield again.

As the mines exploded, grenades were continuously thrown at the Japanese vanguard squad, instantly taking away most of the Japanese troops.

Then he aimed at the Japanese soldiers under him and began to shoot at them continuously.

Because it was a plain, the formation of the leading team was instantly disrupted.

When the Japanese squadron leader in the rear saw this scene, he immediately ordered another squadron to come forward to support and eliminate the small Eighth Route Army unit in front.

With the continuous exchange of fire, the Japanese army quickly advanced to the front of the third row of blocking positions.

Seeing that the Japanese army was almost approaching his position, He Ming immediately ordered a retreat along the tunnel.

"Xiao Wang, notify everyone to evacuate from the cat ear cave!"

"Yes! Platoon Leader!"

Then, Xiao Wang crouched down and notified everyone one by one to evacuate.

As the soldiers evacuated one by one towards a hole in the trench that could accommodate one person, He Ming began to lead his men to place explosives on the position.

As the second platoon completed its evacuation, He Ming took a look at the Japanese troops who were about to reach the trench, and also went into the cave.

After evacuating to a certain distance, the fuse was pulled.

With the continuous explosions from the top, the entire tunnel was instantly shaken and fine sand continued to leak from the supporting wooden boards.

He Ming didn't care about the situation above and led his men to evacuate to the back along the tunnel.

After occupying this small position, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in the huge explosion.

Then the remaining engineers began to check this small position and found the collapsed hole.

So he reported the news to the commander of the 139th Regiment, Fumio Nagata, who was in the rear.

When Fumio Nagata heard about this situation, he waved his hand with a gloomy look on his face, telling the engineers to stop digging the hole and continue moving forward.

This situation is nothing new, and the locust army has encountered it before.

But once the cave is dug, going deep into the tunnel will either lead to being trapped inside by the tunnel's traps.
