Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 977
This kind of uncertainty is fatal, because it means that the Eighth Route Army cannot determine in which direction the two minesweeping vehicles hidden by the enemy will suddenly appear, so it must guard every direction and even every position of the defense line.

However, it seems superfluous to worry about this, as the devil's frontal charge made the Eighth Route Army a little overwhelmed.

The minesweeping vehicle "rumbling" drove up.

The process was not smooth, because the devil's minesweeper vehicle was converted from a tractor, and the driver did not have any cover.

The sharpshooters of the Eighth Route Army shot the drivers of the minesweeping vehicles down one after another from a distance, but the devil drivers went up one after another.

Later, the ghost drivers even learned how to behave. After they climbed into the cab, they didn't show their heads at all, but curled up under the fender.

As for the driving direction, you just need to maintain the speed and continue to drive forward. At worst, just ask the infantry next to you loudly.

The directional mines detonated one by one, but they failed to cause much damage to the devils. Seeing that the devils were getting closer, Tang Liangjun called the headquarters in a hurry: "Battle Commander, the position cannot be defended anymore, please withdraw to the underground warehouse!"

Wang Xuexin looked at the time with a dark face. It was still an hour before dark, and it was not yet time.

If the devils are allowed to occupy the ground position at this time... then the underground warehouse will be blasted.

The design of the underground warehouse is just a warehouse, and it is also an underground warehouse built under the loess of the plain. It is not as offensive and defensive as the highland tunnels, so the battle will be very passive.

Therefore, the ground position has to be defended for a while.

But now this situation...

After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin ordered: "I ask for permission, but before withdrawing, plant a batch of directional mines in the trenches, understand?"

Tang Liangjun was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately responded: "Understood!"

Tang Liangjun did understand that this retreat was not a retreat, but a retreat for counterattack.

The 208th Regiment deserves to be the main force regiment. When Tang Liangjun gave an order, the battalion commanders, company commanders and other commanders immediately understood the meaning, and immediately ordered the soldiers to deploy hidden directional mines in the trenches.

This is what the idiom says "instructing like an arm".

If it is a poor-quality force, such an order may cause a series of command chaos.

For example, Tang Liangjun's order was only one sentence: "Put directional mines in the trenches and prepare to retreat!"

Some people may understand what Tang Liangjun means, and they will secretly deploy directional mines, that is, bury directional mines and wires in the soil and lead them all the way to the entrance of the underground warehouse, and deploy them in large numbers.

But there are also some people who don't understand what this means. They just throw the directional mine or insert it into the trench... This is also a directional mine, and it is also in the trench. From the perspective of executing orders, there is nothing wrong with it.

But if this is really done, the devil will find the problem as soon as he jumps into the trench, and then he will expose the battle plan in advance to let the devil know that this is a trap and respond.

Therefore, if it is a unit of average quality, the correct way to issue this order is to gather battalion-level cadres for a short meeting, tell them the battle plan as quickly as possible, and then let the battalion commander convey the battle plan to the The company commander, the company commander passes on to the soldiers.

The last order can be accurately implemented.

But if it was then, the devils would have followed the minesweeper and rushed into the trenches, and there would be no time and space for this battle plan to be implemented.

The 208th Regiment is not an ordinary unit. Tang Liangjun usually gets along with battalion commanders and company commanders. Tang Liangjun knows the commanders of each battalion and company, and the commanders of each battalion and company also know Tang Liangjun.

Therefore, when Tang Liangjun gave an order, all battalions and companies understood it, and then consciously and proactively filled in the parts that were not in the order.

Soon, a directional mine was laid every ten meters in the trench, and they were all covered with loess.

Because time is tight, only a thin layer of soil was covered.

But it didn't matter, because the devil's artillery fire and the strafing planes overhead kept shaking off the loess on both sides of the trench, which instead helped the soldiers complete the trap quickly without revealing any traces.

After finishing, the soldiers withdrew to the underground warehouse along the traffic trench... This was built by the soldiers when they were building the trench, and the entrance of each underground warehouse was connected to the trench with a traffic trench.

This is common sense, because only in this way, when withdrawing from the ground trenches to the underground warehouse, there is no need to dig out the trenches and expose yourself to the enemy's guns and muzzles.

Only in this way, when launching a counterattack from the underground warehouse, the enemy will not be discovered immediately.

Seeing the firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the other side, Endo Zhiye secretly rejoiced: Finally, these cunning Eighth Route Army have been defeated. It's not easy!

Perhaps because he was worried that there would be changes in the battle, Shino Endo ordered: "Order Shimada Squadron to speed up, occupy the enemy's defense line as soon as possible to prevent the enemy from counterattacking, and Ishikawa Squadron to continue attacking!"

There is nothing wrong with Endo Shino's command.

Because the Eighth Route Army's defense line has this loophole...they have no defense depth in a circle.

As long as the imperial army breaks through a little bit, and then use one squadron to hold the trench to keep the gap and expand it, and another squadron to rush straight to its hinterland, it can rush to the back of the other side of the Eighth Route Army's defense line.

At that time, it will be the time when the Eighth Route Army's defense line will collapse.

Under Endo Shino's satisfied eyes, the devils successfully occupied the trench.

The devil's movements were also extremely fast. They immediately filled up a section of the trench with sandbags, let the minesweeping vehicles and tanks cross the trench one by one, and then attacked the other side.

However, at this moment, an accident happened.

Just when Endo Shino thought the situation of the battle was settled, he even wanted to report to the headquarters: "The enemy has collapsed, and our army has fully occupied the enemy's ground position", a series of explosions suddenly came from the trenches, accompanied by these explosions , it was the devil screaming like killing a pig.

Endo Shino's expression changed, and he immediately realized what had happened.

"Bastard!" Endo Shino yelled, "All of them, hold the trenches! Hold the trenches!"

Endo Shino did not give the order to "retreat", which shows that he is quite knowledgeable and knows that retreating at this time is not beneficial. Only by gathering all the troops to compete with the Eighth Route Army for the trenches can there be any hope of victory.

However, the order was equally ill-timed.

because……

The devils in the trenches, and even near the trenches, were beaten all over by the flying steel balls, and they didn't have much combat effectiveness at all, let alone defend the trenches or even compete with the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army rushed out from the entrance of the warehouse with a loud shout.

At this time, what they held in their hands was a pair of broadswords and engineering shovels... Fighting in the trenches, broadswords and engineering shovels are far more useful than rifles.
