Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 279 Disorderly Minefield, Devils Are Helpless in Demining!

"Yes, group seat."

Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, said with a smile, and then handed the Czech telegram to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui nodded, then looked at it with a smile.

"Chief of Staff, here, a battalion of Jiedian!"

Xu Rui handed the finished telegram to Luo Youdu, chief of staff across the table, and said with a smile.

"Good job! Well done! Well fried!"

After reading the good news, Luo Youdu smiled at Xu Rui: "I never thought that using the entire Mingjia Town as a bait, planting a landmine modified with artillery shells in the town, and detonating it in an instant, it would be able to kill so many devils." .”

"As for us, we didn't even suffer a single casualty. It's unbelievable, unbelievable, Tuanzai!"

Xu Rui smiled and said, "As long as you have a clear mind, you can calculate properly."

"Based on the modified landmines we buried underground in Mingjia Town, it is easy to blow up the devils of two infantry brigades. It is a pity that the little devils only sent one devil from the infantry brigade into Mingjia Town. When one or two devils from the infantry brigade enter Mingjia Town, the scene will be even more spectacular."

Seeing this, Luo Youdu said: "Tuan Zuo, this is not bad."

"Not long after we started the fight, we killed a Japanese infantry brigade with zero casualties. It is definitely a face-saving thing to say."

Xu Rui nodded and said with a smile, "That's right! I'm a bit greedy."

"Take your time, and then we will work piecemeal, bit by bit, to kill these more than 6000 devils. We have plenty of time now."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu smiled and said: "That's right!!!".

"Chen Zhenping reports!"

Luo Youdu pointed to the telegram sent by a battalion commander, and then continued: "The devil shows no sign of backing down after losing an infantry brigade."

"Now, another infantry squad has been sent into Mingjia Town to search, and it is estimated that we will continue to go north!"

Xu Rui looked at the map on the table in front of him, and then said in a concentrated voice: "Of course it is impossible to lose casualties because of an infantry brigade in less than a few minutes, the old devil Takeshita Taro will shrink back.".

"After all, this old devil has more than 4 elite devils in his hands. The casualties of an infantry brigade can't scare this old devil!"

Luo Youdu nodded and said: "The telegram ordered Chen Zhenping to retreat northward and return to the north bank of the Nanliu River according to the plan."

"Um!!!"

Xu Rui nodded, and then said to Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer standing beside him: "Send the report to Chen Zhenping. Tell him to evacuate Mingjia Town according to the plan, and carry out the mine laying along the way according to the pre-war plan."

"I can't help the devil's army, on the way north from Mingjia Town, it went too smoothly."

Gu Jiaping remembered Xu Rui's words well, and immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, group seat!".

"correct!"

Xu Rui stopped Gu Jiaping, who was about to turn around and walk away, and said: "Send a report to Li Yunlong, the new regiment commander of the Eighth Route Army of the friendly army, and report the situation in Mingjia Town."

"Understood, Tuanzao!"

Gu Jiaping nodded, then turned around and walked aside, ordering the messenger to send a report immediately.

Xu Rui, on the other hand, looked at the map with serious eyes.

Although it was a good start, at the cost of abandoning the entire Mingjia Town, a Japanese infantry brigade was killed.

However, there are still more than 5000 devils in the hands of that old devil Takeshita Taro.

In terms of strength and strength, they still crushed their own 303rd regiment, Chu Yunfei's 358th regiment, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, Xinyi Regiment and 28th Regiment combined.

Therefore, the battle situation is still under great pressure.

"Tuan Zuo, what are you thinking about?"

At this time, seeing Xu Rui silently looking at the map with solemn eyes, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu asked.

"The next battle should not be as easy as it was at the beginning."

Xu Ruining said in a low voice: "Taro Takeshita, head of the Devil's 41st Division, is not an old devil who can be defeated easily. Now this old devil has a clear understanding of us.".

"Next, I'm afraid it will be a head-to-head battle!"

Luo Youdu pointed to the map and said: "According to the pre-war plan, we will block the devil army across the Nanliu River for at least two or three days, and we can first consume the spirit of the devil army."

"Once caught in a confrontation, a war of attrition, and when the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 28th Regiment launch a surprise attack on Datongcheng, an important town in northern Shanxi, Taro Takeshita will no longer want to divide his troops."

"The timing is very favorable to me! Even if the next battle is unfavorable, we can retreat along the road to the area north of the Xiushui River, which will have enough defense depth. Tuanzu, don't worry."

Hearing what Luo Youdu said, Xu Rui thought about it, and it was true.

The war has already begun, so fight hard!

"Then let's see how the army of devils slowly kills them to the south bank of the Nanliu River. Hahaha!"

Xu Rui smiled and said.

"Hahaha!"

Luo Youdu knew what Xu Rui meant.

On the road surface between Mingjia Town and Nanliujiang Shiqiao Bridge, when the First Battalion withdrew from Mingjia Town and headed north, it would lay mines along the way to delay and injure the devils going north.

Although there are not many devils who can be killed or injured, it is still very beneficial to hit the devil's arrogance and slow down the devil's northward speed.

And sure enough, at 23:[-] noon.

After getting a devil infantry squad that entered Mingjia Town for the second time, they returned and reported to Takeshita Taro and other devils that there were no explosives underground in Mingjia Town.

Takeshita Taro ordered the 41rd Infantry Brigade of the 30th Infantry Regiment of the 67th Infantry Brigade belonging to the [-]st Division to garrison Mingjia Town, and the rest of the devils continued to advance northward along the road.

However, within 3 minutes of going north along the highway from Mingjia Town, something bad happened.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

With the sound of explosions coming from the direction of the vanguard, all the devils immediately squatted down to hide, ready to fight.

It was just that after Takeshita Taro sent someone to understand why the explosion occurred in front of him, he immediately frowned.

"Nani?"

Facing the devil's staff officer who reported the cause of the explosion ahead, Takeshita Taro frowned and said: "The vanguard stepped on a landmine on the road ahead?".

"Yes, Your Excellency the General!"

The devil's staff officer nodded, and said: "The vanguard troops were buried by the enemy's landmines on the road, killing and injuring about [-] people.".

"The troops who went around on both sides of the road were also killed and injured several people. Your Excellency, the enemy has laid mines along the road and within tens of meters on both sides of the road. Moreover, it is the landmines of the imperial army. .In addition, the enemy army is very cunning, and the mines are disorderly. We have no way to use mortars to blow all the way to detonate the mines planted by the enemy along the road and on both sides, Your Excellency General!"

Hearing this, Major General Tada Hideki, the chief of staff of the Devil's 41st Division beside Taro Takeshita, said in a condensed voice: "The commander, it should be the 36th Division and the 41st Infantry Regiment who were captured by the enemy after they were annihilated. From the mines of the imperial army.".

"Now, it's on us."

Takeshita Taro nodded silently with a gloomy face, and then said to the staff officer who reported the situation: "Let the engineering unit dispatch to clear the mines along the road and its sides!".

"Yes, Your Excellency the General!"

The devil's staff officer who reported the sudden explosion in front of him paused heavily, then ran away immediately to order the engineers in the engineering unit to clear the mines.

However, during the northward retreat of the 303st Battalion of the [-]rd Regiment, the mines laid along the road and on both sides were disorderly.

Moreover, a considerable part of the mines were made by the 303 regiment itself, and the devil's engineers could not use detectors to discharge the mines.

In addition, in the section of the road from Mingjia Town to the south bank of the Nanliu River and the forests and grass on both sides within a range of tens of meters, the minefields laid out are disorderly.

In addition, many landmines were made by the 303rd regiment themselves, and they could not be detected by the devil's detectors.

Therefore, the devil's engineers tried their best to clear the mines all the way, and many devil engineers were killed along the way.

Faced with this situation, the Devils Engineer Corps was also extremely helpless.
