Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 652 Initial Results (First Update!)

"Hurry up, hurry up and cross the road immediately!" Rong Jun stood at the intersection and kept urging his subordinates to speed up.

With so much food brought by the troops, there must be no accidents.

Once the devils were alerted and then chased and beat him, the life-saving food would definitely be snatched by the devils.

Therefore, the Rongjun must take precautions and reduce the probability of accidents as much as possible.

After the last mule and horse loaded with food left the road, the Rongjun's tense nerves finally relaxed. After a long breath, he was ready to leave the road with the rear troops.

"Devil car!" A soldier next to him suddenly reminded.

"At least two ghost cars, how could they come here, have we been exposed!" Seeing the light coming from the end of the road, Rong Jun frowned and cried out.

"Retreat quickly, leave the road, the farther the better!"

It was the devil patrol team, two three-wheeled motorcycles, and an armored car.

Because there were no vehicles transporting infantry to follow, they were very fast, and they rushed to the position where the Invalids crossed the road in less than half a minute.

The devils who were selected for the patrol were all veterans, with vicious eyes and a keen sense of smell, and they could tell at a glance that there was something wrong here.

Shining the headlights of the motorcycle in the direction of the retreat of the Invalids, dozens of scattered figures appeared in their field of vision.

"Baga, there is the Eighth Route Army, shoot and kill them immediately!" A devil's sergeant on the motorcycle shouted.

The machine gun mounted on the bucket of the motorcycle fired quickly, and under the guidance of the headlights, the bullets were so tricky that they almost bit the flesh.

At this time, the Devils armored car following behind also joined in, machine guns fired, and artillery fired.

Gunshots and explosions were very dense, as if a small-scale encounter was being fought here.

The devil's machine guns and artillery stopped after the Rongjun dropped more than a dozen corpses and completely disappeared into the night.

Back at the Tianjiacun maintenance meeting station, the security squad leader lowered his head and went to Rongjun to demand punishment. Wang Jianxin, who got the news, also rushed over.

Seeing that the Rongjun didn't speak, the instructor quickly stepped forward and said: "Company Commander, I also checked. The devils patrolled the road at night. It started last night. Squad Leader Wang is not to blame for such an accident."

Rong Jun frowned and replied: "I don't blame him, I'll think about other things!"

"At the beginning, I was self-righteous. I thought the devils were stupid. They built gun towers on the highway to give us a chance to defeat them. Now it seems that it is not the devils who are wrong, but ourselves."

"Think about it: there are gun towers every five kilometers on the road, plus the continuous devil patrols, it must be very difficult for us to cross the road safely like before. Only a few dozen of us were killed by devils last night. Grab the tail and beat them fiercely. When the main force comes out of the mountain, a few hundred people will cross the road casually, won’t that be sent to the door for the massacre by the devil’s armored vehicles?”

"In addition, with gun towers and armored vehicles patrolling, the devils will completely control the road!"

"This means that no matter what we do in the future, we will not be able to take the road, and there is a possibility that the devil will use the road to divide us at any time!"

The instructor frowned and suggested: "Don't the main force of the regiment have infantry artillery? We can use infantry to bombard the devil's artillery towers. There are no artillery towers, and the road is so long that a few armored vehicles can't control the road even if they patrol continuously!"

Rong Jun shook his head and replied, "Instructor, you underestimate devils too much!"

"Do you still remember the battle the night before? If we hadn't taken the Sanchakou stronghold quickly with tricks, we would have been hit by the enemy and suffered even greater losses when the devil reinforcements came by car!"

"The devils have vehicles for transporting an infantry squad, then there are vehicles for transporting an infantry squadron or even more troops, plus armored vehicles, they can pass through the roads we have reinforced for them at any time in a few minutes or even a few minutes. Go anywhere and attack us!"

"After the main force of the regiment leaves the mountain, it is true that infantry cannons can be used to attack the towers. But it will take time, and this time is enough time for the little devils' reinforcements to arrive by car. At that time, the main force of the regiment will be attacked by the enemy, or at least be beaten by the devils!"

Speaking of this, Rong Jun made a decisive decision: "This matter is too important, we must report it to the head of the regiment immediately, so that the regiment headquarters can make a decision early!"

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Linfen City, Matsumoto saw the good news sent by Matsumoto just after breakfast.

The patrolling troops killed more than a dozen Eighth Route Army troops, and also took hundreds of catties of grain from the Eighth Route Army.More importantly, after the encounter, the Eighth Route Army withdrew in embarrassment, not even taking away the dead bodies.

For a general, this result is too small to be ignored.

However, Matsumoto is very happy to see the result of this battle now, because it repaired gun towers on the road on behalf of itself, and sent armored vehicles to patrol the road. The plan to block and divide the Eighth Route Army has worked.

After raising the telegram in his hand, he ordered the chief of staff: "The number of patrols of the patrol troops at night will increase!"

"I did some calculations just now. With the number of patrols we have now, and the distance between the gun towers is five kilometers away, the Eighth Route Army with 200 soldiers, as long as they seize the opportunity, there is still a chance to cross the road!"

"Double the number of patrols and they don't stand a chance."

"Even if there is a chance, only a few dozen or even a few people can cross the road at a time. It doesn't have much effect on the overall battle situation!"

The chief of staff frowned after thinking about it and replied: "Yes, yes, the troops also have them, but we don't have enough armored vehicles!"

"It's definitely impossible to ask the higher-ups!" Matsumoto frowned.

"The last time I asked the higher-ups that there were so many cars and armored cars, I was able to get them by using my connections. It would be great if half of the general garrison brigades could be allocated."

The chief of staff said worriedly: "Without armored vehicles to provide fire support, the patrol team will definitely be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army!"

"The equipment of the Eighth Route Army is very good. Even if the strength of the patrol team exceeds a small team, they can quickly eat it up!"

Matsumoto frowned and spoke. After thinking for 2 minutes, he had a flash of inspiration and asked the chief of staff: "Cars! Do we have any extra transport cars?"

"Weld the protective steel plates around the transport vehicles, as long as they can block the bullets, and then install a heavy machine gun on the roof of each vehicle, with two shooting holes on each side!"

"Compared with real armored cars, although there are fewer guns, there is no problem blocking bullets!"

The chief of staff's eyes lit up and he said affirmatively: "It's really possible, unless the Eighth Route Army shoots directly with direct-pointing artillery, otherwise it really can't do anything about cars with steel plates!"
