Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 907 No worries anymore (first update!)

The chief of staff hadn't reacted yet, and stared at Lieutenant General Ito with unbelievable eyes.

"Division Commander, I don't understand... the engineering regiments generally don't go to the battlefield, they just play an auxiliary role in the battle, and they hardly pose any threat to the Eighth Route Army. They spent a lot of materials and equipment to arrange this minefield. Could it be that they are just to blow up the landmines? Abandon our engineering regiment?"

"It's really for our engineering unit." Lieutenant General Ito replied with a pale face.

"The engineering unit plays an auxiliary role on the battlefield. But for us, they are no less important than an infantry unit... If the engineering unit is gone, how can we repair the remaining roads that were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army? Come to repair, can the speed of repair be guaranteed?"

Lieutenant General Ito asked a series of questions, and the chief of staff directly showed a speechless shocked expression.

After a few seconds of being stunned, he finally realized: "Division Commander, I understand, blow up our engineering unit... Even if the Eighth Route Army doesn't attack us anymore, just destroying the road can hold us back for several days!"

"We brought a lot of heavy vehicles, cars, heavy artillery, and chariots. We have to rely on roads to get to Linfen, and the roads must be flat and free of potholes!"

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning to think of such a method... No, I will go to the vanguard right now. The engineering unit must not be killed by the Eighth Route Army, especially the engineering vehicles equipped by the engineering unit. There must be no accidents!"

After speaking, the chief of staff climbed on a horse and rushed to the position of the forward troops.

The more than 200-meter-long road was completely covered by the strong explosion generated by the explosion, and you couldn't see your fingers.

After 2 full minutes, the gunpowder smoke slowly dissipated, and a row of [-] huge craters appeared in the field of vision of the devil's forward troops!
"sssssssssssssssssssssssss out"

All the devils couldn't help but gasp.

The craters are really too big, each of them is more than one meter deep, one after another, like a crater, it is impossible to see that there was a road five or six meters wide just a few minutes ago.

Nearly a thousand devil engineers and infantry soldiers, many of them were blown to nothing in the explosion.

Broken arms with residual value were blown up all over the place, and at a glance, it was like hell, very tragic.

Coupled with the corpses on the ground that are constantly bleeding from the wounds, this section of the road looks even more creepy...

The chief of staff who hurried over just happened to see this scene, saw that the subordinates around him were not moving, and shouted: "Ba Ge Ya Lu, what are you still doing here? Go to rescue the wounded immediately, and see if there are any warriors alive... ...and the engineering vehicles equipped by the engineering corps, can they still be used..."

After 10 minutes, a major rushed over with his head down, his expression very ugly...

"Chief of Staff, except for the Minesweeper Squadron who didn't suffer a lot because it was caught in the middle of the infantry, everyone else is in the minefield that just exploded... Only 118 imperial soldiers were still alive in the entire explosion zone, but they were all seriously injured and completely lost their combat effectiveness. Inside There are still many seriously injured people who probably won't be able to survive tonight..."

"The three forklifts were all destroyed, and there was no possibility of repairing them. They were directly blown into scrap iron..."

"Other equipment equipped by the Engineer Wing also suffered heavy losses, and many of them were destroyed~"

"It's over..." These two words came out of the chief of staff's mind.Then I thought of Lieutenant General Ito's judgment just now.

The engineering unit is gone, and the engineering vehicles are gone. Even if a large number of infantry are deployed to repair the road, without the engineering vehicles, the speed will only be half of the original speed.This means that the troops can only march fifteen kilometers a day...

If the Eighth Route Army had any other means to deal with itself, then the marching speed of the troops would definitely be slower.

There is a distance of one hundred kilometers left, maybe ten days will not be able to cover it!

"Immediately send all the wounded to the rear for treatment... The forward troops immediately withdraw their troops and repair the road in front of them. If there is no accident, we should not go any further today!" The chief of staff ordered with a sullen face, and then he was in a hurry Go back and report to the head of the division.

A few kilometers away, Wang Ping, Li Wen... all witnessed the whole explosion process with their own eyes.

In less than five seconds, the more than 200-meter-long road was covered by thick smoke, dust, flying sand and rocks produced by the explosion.

Seeing this, Wang Ping's tense heart completely relaxed.

"Regimental... It's done. With such a violent explosion, the Devil's Engineering Corps will definitely be wiped out!" Li Wen was more excited than anyone else, and reported excitedly when he saw the scene of gunpowder and smoke on the road.

Chen Jianqiao, the company commander of the engineering company, then affirmed: "Regimental Commander, there are a total of [-] heavy artillery shells, and [-] catties of high explosives that captured the little devil. It was blown into scrap iron, not to mention those engineering vehicles and unsuspecting little devil engineers!"

"I assure you, the little devil's engineering unit must have been blown up to the point where there are not many people left..."

As the smoke cleared, the tragic scenes on the road all proved the judgment of the two subordinates.

After more than ten minutes, a group of little devil infantry entered the blasting area, picked up the equipment scattered on the ground by the engineering unit, and began to repair the road manually. After the main force of the devils directly stopped to rest, Wang Ping knew that what happened just now As soon as it exploded, he directly completed the task of slowing down the marching speed of the Japanese army.

"Regimental Commander, as long as we continue to destroy the melon highway, and the more thorough the destruction, the better, and prepare a few mines for them from time to time, we will surely allow them to march no more than fifteen kilometers a day..." Seeing the busy little devil on the road, Li Wen reported excitedly.

"Fifteen kilometers is too long, I want them to march no more than ten kilometers a day~" Wang Ping replied after shooting two sharp eyes out.

"You just said that the most common method we used to slow down the Japanese army's marching speed didn't seem to include us..."

"Destroying roads and laying mines, the engineering company is a professional, just hand it over to the engineering company. The remaining 300 combat troops, including the direct subordinate team and the reconnaissance platoon, must not be idle, but must also move!"

"In the past two days, we have a lot of worries about fighting the devils, and we need to consider how to slow down their marching speed. Now that this worry is gone, we should let go of our hands and feet and clean them up."

"How can we kill them, destroy them, and save ourselves, we will fight!"

"In the past two days, I have carefully observed the front-line devils' marching team that is nearly ten kilometers away. The security is very strict and the vigilance is also high. In order to guard against our sneak attack, more than 2000 cavalry and more than 1000 infantry patrol and investigate back and forth on both sides of the team. The main force is on both sides of the road. Even if we were able to approach and successfully launch an attack within one kilometer, the troops would not be able to withdraw.”

"The speed of the devil cavalry is too fast, and the reaction speed is also fast. It only takes one or two minutes to gather three or four hundred cavalry to besiege our sneak attack troops from all directions. Today's sneak attack during the day is the best example. The devil cavalry is very vigilant. In the case of a surprise attack, even the direct subordinate team lost four members. If it were replaced by ordinary troops, the entire army might be wiped out~"

"And with this sneak attack, the vigilance of the devils will definitely become better and better, and the security will become more and more strict. It will be very difficult to sneak attack. Moreover, it is a way of killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred. Too bad, we can't fight, and we can't afford to consume..."
