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

Chapter 280 The Independent Regiment and the 28th Regiment raid the important town in northern Shanxi!

"Boom boom boom!"

Seven or eight minutes later, two more devil engineers who cleared mines were killed. Takeshita Taro was very speechless in the army of devils.

"You, will you know how to clear mines?"

Taro Takeshita watched as he passed through Mingjia Town and went northward for less than two kilometers. He was stunned by the landmines laid by the 303st Battalion of the 20rd Regiment along the road and its sides for more than [-] minutes. I was a little annoyed.

So, Captain Kikuta Kentaro, the captain of the engineering unit of the division in charge of demining in front, shouted to him, and he was scolded all over his face.

"Teacher commander!"

Colonel Kentaro Kikuta, the commander of the 41st Division's engineering regiment, was so distressed that he could only report in detail: "The landmines laid by the enemy along the road and on both sides are very disorderly.".

"Although there are many landmines among them, our metal detectors have discharged them. However, there are still many landmines that cannot be detected by metal detectors, division commander!"

After a pause, Colonel Kikuta Kentaro, captain of the Engineering Corps, waved to the two devil engineers who followed him.

So, the two devil engineers who followed Kikuta Kentaro immediately brought over the two ceramic mines.

"Division commander, this is a mine made of ceramics by the enemy."

Pointing to the ceramic landmines brought by the two engineers, Colonel Kikuta Kentaro, the captain of the Engineering Corps, said to the old devil Takeshita Taro: "So, we used metal detectors to remove mines and buried them with landmines captured from the imperial army. We can remove them." come out.".

"But the enemy is cunning. Our metal detectors can't discharge the landmines made of ceramics. This is the landmine that our engineers used bayonets to discharge manually. It's just that it takes a lot of time, division commander."

Looking at the ceramic landmines held by the two devil engineers, Taro Takeshita, Major General Tada Hideki, chief of staff of the division, and other devil generals all looked over.

"Baga Yalu, it really is the cunning Xu Rui, who can actually create such a mine, how powerful is it?"

Takeshita Taro asked with a gloomy expression to Captain Kenichiro Kikuta of the Engineering Corps.

"The power is not inferior to mines made of iron shells and other metals, and the lethality is very strong. If one of our soldiers is injured, we need at least two soldiers to take care of the wounded and evacuate the injured soldiers to Mingjia Town in the back!"

Kikuta Kentaro said helplessly.

"hateful!"

Takeshita Taro said through gritted teeth.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rui's 303 regiment would actually create such a weird landmine.

But it is undeniable that the lethality is indeed no worse than metal mines.

"Ju Tian-san, how long will it take for your engineering team to clear the mines all the way to the north? It is impossible for the army to wait on the road for your engineering team to clear the mines before moving forward."

At this time, Major General Hideki Tada, chief of staff of the 41st Division, asked Kentaro Kikuta.

"Chief of Staff, the ceramic mines planted by the enemy probably account for almost half of all mines planted."

Kentaro Kikuta, the captain of the Engineering Corps, said helplessly: "Metal detectors can discharge those mines made of metal, but the enemy's landmines made of ceramics cannot be discharged.".

"We can only use bayonets to carefully clear the enemy's ceramic landmines. This takes a long time. According to the current speed of mine clearance, it is estimated that it will not be able to line up all the way to the Nanliu River Stone Bridge until after 01:30 in the afternoon. Over there at the south bank bridge, Chief of Staff."

Hearing this, Hideki Tada, Taro Takeshita and other senior devil generals all had a bad face.

Although it is said that mortars can be used to blast all the way along the road and directly detonate the landmines planted by the enemy.

However, how many shells would be wasted if they hit the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge in this way!

In particular, the next step is to fight all the way to the city of Heyuan County, and the artillery shells needed for a full month of combat have been stored.

"Master, what should we do?"

Shibata Ichiro, head of the 2nd Brigade, also asked Takeshita Taro out loud at this time.

The demining work was too difficult, and the enemy indeed had a way of delaying their army's rapid northward advance. This delay lasted until 01:30 in the afternoon, which happened to be when the sun was at full bloom.

The army of devils lined up on the highway, they must not be tanned!
"Kikuta-san, let your engineering unit retreat!"

Takeshita Taro thought for a while, gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and then said to Kikuta Kentaro.

"Yes, division commander!"

When Takeshita Taro said that, Kikuta Kentaro was actually secretly relieved.

The enemy's metal mines are easy to discharge with metal detectors, but the ceramic mines made by the enemy must be carefully cleared manually by his engineers with bayonets.

But in this way, it really takes more than an hour to clear the mines before they can be discharged to the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge.

Now that Takeshita Taro said so, Kikuta Kenjiro also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Let the Artillery Regiment Captain Futojiro mobilize mortars and bombard me all the way north along the road and the field roadsides on both sides. We don't have time to clear mines so slowly!"

Takeshita Taro then said to the Chief of Staff Tada Hideki on the side.

"Division commander, in that way, we will consume a lot of mortar shells!"

Chief of Staff Major General Tada Hideki reminded.

"I will let the rear supply station relay continue to follow my army and deliver shells."

Takeshita Taro waved his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "The headquarters has fully supported us. During the battle, all ammunition will be given priority to us.".

Seeing this, Tada Hideki knew that what Takeshita Taro needed was to reach the south bank of the Nanliu River as soon as possible.

It is not possible to passively let more than 4 troops bask in the sun on the road because of the delay of some landmines.

"Yes, division commander!"

Takeshita Taro is not afraid that the shells will be consumed, Tada Hideki nodded and said.

Then he immediately sent someone to order the artillery regiment captain Jiro Fukuto, and immediately mobilized more than [-] mortars in the artillery regiment's hands, and blasted them along the road and its sides.

"Tom tom tom, tom tom tom!"

As mortar shells were shot out of the barrel at high speed, they immediately fell heavily on the road in front of the army of devils and the fields and bushes on both sides of the road, causing sparks and gunpowder to explode immediately.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The explosion was so violent that it immediately detonated the landmines planted in the grass on the road from the 303st Battalion of the [-]rd Regiment northward from Mingjia Town to the south bank of the Nanliu River, as well as the fields and grass on both sides of the road.

Then, Taro Takeshita, who was very satisfied, ordered the artillery wing to continue such bombardment and quickly clear the mines.

This scene was also watched by the soldiers of the 80rd Reconnaissance Regiment Regiment hidden in the forest on the roadside more than 303 meters to the left of the road, especially the commander of the reconnaissance company was also amazed.

"The devil is really not afraid of wasting shells! Report this situation to the group immediately!"

After being surprised for a moment, Duan Peng immediately said to the scout who was carrying a radio.

"Understood, Captain."

The scout nodded, and immediately went to the back to turn on the radio, and immediately sent a report to the temporary field headquarters.

At this time, Xu Rui had already received a secret telegram from Li Yunlong, head of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, in the temporary field headquarters on Woyupo Mountain.

"Chief of Staff, Commander Li Yunlong sent a secret message, the Independent Regiment and the 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army have arrived near Datongcheng, an important town in northern Shanxi, and can launch a surprise attack on Datongcheng at any time!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Rui handed the secret telegram sent by the Eighth Route Army Xinyi Regiment to Luo Youdu, chief of staff, and said with a smile.

"Their raids can be launched at any time!"

After reading the telegram, Luo Youdu said: "However, we are facing more than 4 devils, and they haven't killed the Nanliu River Stone Bridge at the south bank of the bridge yet.".

"Regimental seat, you can call back and suggest that the leader of the friendly army, Li Yunlong, ask him to contact their Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and the 28th Regiment. When the devil's army of more than 4 troops kills the south bank of the Nanliu River Stone Bridge, they will attack Datongcheng, an important town in northern Shanxi. What do you think about launching a raid?"
