Chapter 466: Autumn Harvest and Winter Harvest 24
This road is the path between two hills, and the loud noise happened when the Japanese and puppet troops were about to walk out of this path and set foot on a relatively flat intersection. The loud noise was the mines buried by the Eighth Route Army.
After the Eighth Route Army advance battalion led by Liu Zhenghong came to the northern Henan region, after so long, he won some victories and won some arms. However, because the development was too fast, the number of troops was also increasing sharply, so the equipment became increasingly tense.
In the Eighth Route Army's combat troops, no one can fire a gun per person, and the militia's weapons are even more nervous. In order to arm the people, hunting rifles, earth guns, land mines..., all of these weapons that can kill the Japanese came on the field, this time the Japanese were trampled on the land mines made by the Eighth Route Army's military industry.
The explosion was like stabbing a hornet's nest. The teams that were originally walking neatly on the road were suddenly in chaos, and the Japanese and puppet troops rushed towards the hillsides on both sides.
In fact, this is also the normal reaction of a well-trained army. With gunfire or explosions, it means that the opponent has appeared, occupying the commanding heights as soon as possible to seize the favorable terrain, and finding the best hidden point for individual soldiers. This is the basic quality of a qualified soldier.
Just as the Japanese and puppet troops were preparing for combat, the continuous explosions began again. This time the explosion point was not on the main road, but on the hillside where the Japanese and puppet troops rushed. This time, both sides were detonated, and the Japanese and puppet troops were detonated by the Japanese and puppet troops.
The continuous explosions shocked the captain of the island, the highest commander of the unit. According to the number of explosions, the team he led this time had suffered heavy casualties before the war started.
The explosion finally stopped, and black smoke rose at the explosion point, and dust rose in the air. The anxious island didn't care about these things, so he rushed to the explosion site first.
After arriving at the scene, a heart on the island finally dropped. He found that although the continuous explosions were violent, the number of casualties caused by the mine explosion was not large, and they were basically injured.
Since the War of Resistance Against Japan, Japan has quickly occupied China's relatively developed industrial areas and imposed economic blockades and plunders on China. In addition, China's industrial foundation is weak, and there is currently a shortage of resources and energy in the rear, not to mention the Communist Party troops in the barren areas of the northwest.
The land mines buried by the Eighth Route Army are indeed very earthy. The shell of the mine is iron-shelled, but the charge inside is black gunpowder with sulfide, dinitro and three charcoal. The black gunpowder was invented by ancient Chinese alchemists. It was not used in the military at the beginning and was not used by the army until the Tang Dynasty.
The black gunpowder is relatively simple in making and the raw materials are easy to obtain, but its power is not satisfactory. Although the huge explosion of land mines in the Eighth Route Army this time is thrilling, there are only two or three people who are injured and killed at each explosion point. Near the explosion point, there are more soldiers who are shaking their ears and bleeding, or injured by explosion debris, and are covered in black gunpowder.
"Tu Eighth Route!" After careful observation of the explosion point in the island, he found that these mines cannot be called landmines, but can only be called ** bags. Even if one or two of them are iron-shelled thunders inside, the metal fragments are also very large. This is obviously a land-to-earth weapon created by the local craft. He had already figured out the situation on the scene and said contemptuously in the center of the island.
"Engineers and mine detection, each team will conduct battlefield treatment." The island calmed down, and he was very experienced and immediately issued such an order.
Although the land mines of the Eighth Route Army are not very anti-destructive, they are still very shocking to the soldiers. Sending engineers to eliminate land mines is a protection for soldiers and a psychological comfort to soldiers.
The engineers were very careful and careful in detecting the mines. They searched back and forth twice on the road ahead, but did not find any new landmines.
Because there was a mine detection ahead, the surrounding hilly areas were carefully searched, and even the shadow of the Eighth Route Army was not seen. Therefore, this area is currently safe, and this time has become a time for infantry to rest.
But at this moment, something strange happened. The wounded soldiers who were injured by landmines became restless. Some wounded soldiers, regardless of the bandages, unbuttoned their own bandages and grabbed the cleaned wounds with blood.
The power of the Eighth Route Mine is not very strong. Most of these soldiers injured by the mines have skin injuries. Although this kind of wound is a little painful, as long as it is cleaned and bandaged in time, it will be fine after the wound heals in more than ten days. This is the first time I have seen it on the island where the wound has been bandaged and untied by the soldiers themselves.
"What's the situation with the wounded?" asked the island and the health soldiers.
"Report to the commander, the wounded soldiers said that the wound was itchy. They unbuttoned the bandages to scratch them!" The health soldier replied honestly.
"Baga! Do they know that exposing wounds is dangerous? Do you know that scratching the wounds with dirty hands will cause infection?" Shimazhong was very angry after hearing the report and cursed.
The health soldier was startled and he lowered his head and replied: "I have said it, but they ignored it, and said that the wound was too itchy and they could not bear this strange itching, so..."
The exposed wounds, coupled with the scratching of these soldiers' dirty hands, will inevitably be infected. You should know that the mortality rate caused by wound infection is extremely high. The island immediately ordered the health soldiers: "Send people to tie them first, and then bandage the wound."
"Hi!" The health soldier saluted, then turned around and ran to the wounded soldier.
The orders on the island were completely executed, and the wounded soldiers were quickly tied up, and the untied bandages were quickly re-banded, but the time was dragged for another half an hour.
After the wounded soldiers here had been bandaged, the island ordered: "Open the way!" Under the command of the island, the team began to walk towards the Hu family shack again.
The wounded soldiers' hands were tied up with ropes, but their mouths were not blocked. The wounded soldiers were itchy. They cursed as they followed the troops forward.
The most common puppet soldiers cursed the Eighth Route Army, saying that the Eighth Route Army was not moral and created such an immoral landmine; some puppet soldiers cursed this war, saying that if it weren't for this war, they wouldn't have suffered such a life.
He rode a horse on the end of the team on the island, but he was extremely annoyed. Since entering the Eighth Route Army's defense zone, he had only shot against the militia of the Eighth Route Army for a while. He didn't know whether there were any casualties in the Eighth Route Army, but his own team had casualties. The strange itching of the wounded soldiers made him unexpectedly, and the scolding of the wounded soldiers made him even more upset.
I really can't figure it out. It was obviously a wound caused by an explosion. It should be very painful. Why is it so itchy now?
In fact, the luck on the island is really bad. The mine they encountered this time was a very special mine. This mine was a mine that Liu Zhenghong and others had just transformed. As for the itching caused by this mine, it was something Liu Zhenghong did not expect.
The power of land mines is low, which Liu Zhenghong had known for a long time. In order to cause greater harm to the Japanese, Liu Zhenghong and others had another idea. The first thing they thought about was to add explosion fragments, so they added some iron nails and porcelain fragments to the **.
During the transformation process, someone suggested whether to add some poison to the mine. If there is a poison that can be sealed with blood, will the enemy die if he is injured?
Liu Zhenghong and his friends lit up their eyes and immediately ordered the search for poison. However, in this extremely underdeveloped area, even poison is difficult to find. Liu Zhenghong sought second best. He sent people to find major drug shops and rural doctors, and informed them that they would contribute any toxic drugs.
The public base of the Eighth Route Army was indeed not fake. The pesticides, pharmacies, and doctors immediately took action, so all kinds of medicinal materials, powders, folk remedies, medicine soups, etc. were sent to Liu Zhenghong's command center.
Traditional Chinese medicine has studied toxic drugs early, and various medical scriptures have detailed records of toxic drugs. However, after all, traditional Chinese medicine mainly uses people to save people, and there are still very few poisons. Many poisons exist more in folk legends. Therefore, even old Chinese medicine doctors do not know the specific method of how to use them in landmines.
However, Liu Zhenghong had a solution. Since no one knew how to use these drugs, he ordered the powder to be put into **, put the iron nails and porcelain pieces into the poison soup and cooked. As for the final effect, it will be known after it is used by the Japanese and puppet troops.
The ancient Chinese medicine is very magical. The combination of different drugs will form different effects. I don’t know if the amount of drugs placed in the mine is not enough, or the drugs have changed during the explosion, nor do I know that various drugs have mixed together to cause new changes in the efficacy of the drug. In short, the effect of a sword sealing throat did not appear, but the itchy condition has appeared.
The pain and curses of the wounded soldiers affected morale. The Japanese army has always advocated that the Locust Army is the strongest. As the Emperor's soldiers, the Locust Army is not afraid of death, nor is it afraid of injury. But now these wounded soldiers are really not afraid of death, let alone bravery. There have been several times on the island who want to give orders to block the mouths of the wounded soldiers, but thinking that gags may even hurt morale, the island eventually gave up this idea.
It was very troublesome here on the island, and Liu Zhenghong from the Hu family shack was even more troublesome.
The northern part of Henan was originally a barren land, and the Hu family shacks where Liu Zhenghong and others stationed were extremely poor. Because the local grain output was small and they often suffered from drought and flood, ordinary people had nothing except some production and living equipment.
The poorer the people are, the more they cherish the property they own. When the Japanese come, the people will naturally go against each other. But should the family bring the food? Should the iron and agricultural tools you bought with you? Should the cotton coats and quilts you need to spend the winter? Also, livestock and poultry must be brought with you? If you don’t bring these, wouldn’t it be cheap for the Japanese and Japanese?
With the support of this idea, everything that could be taken away was tied up, and the villagers picked up the shoulder poles and took them away.
