Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 925 Full Attack (First update!)

"Da da da... bang bang bang..."

The gunfire from the forward troops has been going on for 10 minutes, and there is no intention of stopping.

Lieutenant General Ito frowned, and directly ordered: "Chief of Staff, dispatch an infantry brigade and a mountain artillery squadron from the main force to kill them. In addition, contact the aviation unit to provide fire support to the ground attacking troops. Within half an hour, we must break through the Eighth Route Army The line of defense..."

"Hi!" the chief of staff replied immediately.

The first line of defense arranged by the Eighth Route Army on the edge of the base area should be the easiest to fight, and the mixed forward brigade has not broken through after fighting for so long. Not only the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Ito, but also the chief of staff has no glory. .

When he was about to give an order while frowning, the sound of gunfire stopped suddenly, as if the vanguard had never experienced battle just now.

Soon, a cavalry communications officer rushed over: "Sir, the forward troops successfully broke through the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army..."

"How many people have been lost in the army, and how many Eighth Route Army have been eliminated!" Lieutenant General Ito asked, staring at the communications officer with a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Because the Eighth Route Army deliberately concealed its firepower, the forward troops lost a total of more than 50 imperial troops and one infantry squad~ As for the Eighth Route Army..."

The communications officer hesitated for a few seconds before continuing to answer: "We didn't find a corpse of the Eighth Route Army in the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army...they must have taken the corpse with them when they retreated!"

"Eight Grid Road..."

Lieutenant General Ito immediately became angry and scolded unceremoniously: "That is to say, the Eighth Route Army standing on the ground was not repulsed by you... They retreated on their own initiative. What are your forward troops doing?" , Even attacking the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army is like this!"

"Chief of staff, change to another brigade immediately. How can such a unit, with such combat effectiveness and combat level, open the way for the main force of the division!"

Seeing Lieutenant General Ito's determined face, the chief of staff who was about to say something nice shut his mouth decisively.

Ten minutes later, the troops parked on the road continued to move forward and really entered the Eighth Route Army base.

"Boom boom boom..."

After walking for less than 10 minutes, a series of violent explosions reached the ears of Lieutenant General Ito.

"It's a landmine. I'm too familiar with the sound of this kind of explosion. The cunning Eighth Route Army actually used landmines against us again..." Lieutenant General Ito scolded with an expression of gnashing his teeth in anger.

The chief of staff immediately interjected: "Calm down the division chief, I will immediately send engineers to reinforce the forward troops!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Not long after, another series of explosions reached Lieutenant General Ito's ears.

"What do the engineers eat? Why are there still landmine explosions..." Even the shadow of the Eighth Route Army was attacked for the second time without seeing the troops. It is certain that the damage caused by the two attacks on the imperial army must not be small.After all, the explosion just now was not a single mine, but a series of mines.The furious Lieutenant General Ito immediately became furious and cursed loudly.

The chief of staff also didn't know why the engineers went to the vanguard and the mines would be detonated.

It didn't take long for this question to be solved by a communications officer rushing over from the vanguard!

"Sir, the landmines buried by the Eighth Route Army on the highway are not made of iron. The shells of the landmines are made of ceramics. Our mine detectors can only detect landmines with iron shells, not mines with ceramic shells!"

"In the two landmine attacks just now, we lost a total of 32 imperial troops, 17 of whom were directly killed in battle, and all others were seriously injured or their legs were blown off, and they lost their combat effectiveness!"

"Nani? Porcelain mines~" Lieutenant General Ito was stunned for a long time before he could react.

The captain of the engineering unit next to him frowned directly into a big Sichuan character.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he explained: "The commander of the division... the Eighth Route Army is too cunning!"

"Ceramic landmines are not only easy to produce, they can evade the mine detectors in our hands, and more importantly, the fragments produced by the explosion of the landmines are very large. If the Eighth Route Army uses a large number of ceramic landmines on our offensive road, it will be bad!"

Lieutenant General Ito stared at the engineer captain who had become the polished commander, and scolded unceremoniously: "You are all professionally trained elite engineers of the Empire of Japan, and those ceramic landmines are just soil-made weapons made by the Eighth Route Army. Is there no solution? If that’s the case, what good does the empire want you for?”

The captain of the engineering corps quickly replied: "Please rest assured, the head of the division. We can find these ceramic mines through manual demining. The only problem is that manual demining is done bit by bit with mine detectors, and the speed of demining is very slow... ..."

"How slow?" Lieutenant General Ito asked with a look of hope on his face, staring at his subordinates.

"If the entire road is completely ruled out, everyone in the engineering unit will be on the road, and a maximum of ten kilometers of roads will be dispatched in a day..." the captain of the engineering unit replied with his head down.

He knew that his answer would definitely arouse Lieutenant General Ito's anger.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Lieutenant General Ito's scolding sounded in his ears.

"Bageya Road, ten kilometers a day, how long will it take us to wipe out the entire base of the Eighth Route Army? Will it take a month or half a year~"

"No, the speed is too slow, think of other ways!"

"Drop the extra horses from the supply unit and go to the front of the unit to help us detonate the mines on the road..." the captain of the engineering regiment brightened his eyes and suggested.

"Also, we can go to the surrounding villages to catch some ordinary people, let them go ahead of us, and force the Eighth Route Army to stop using landmines!"

Lieutenant General Ito looked a lot better, and ordered decisively: "Just do it like this!"

"Use the horse to detonate the landmine engineering unit to do it!"

"Chief of staff, you arrange troops to go to the nearby villages to arrest some ordinary people, try to arrest the young and strong, and kill them to force them to obey if they don't obey!"

The chief of staff immediately reminded: "The head of the division calms down! Before the troops were dispatched, the front army headquarters had confessed that in the battle to encircle and suppress the Xinyi regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the imperial army could not take the initiative to massacre ordinary people. The Xinyi regiment held the lives of more than 1000 imperial expatriates in their hands. , there are quite a few big shots in it. We directly catch them ordinary people and step on landmines for us, I am worried that it will cause them to retaliate!"

"No..." Lieutenant General Ito shook his head and replied.

"We did not intentionally massacre these ordinary people, nor did we force them to go to the battlefield to block bullets for us. We just took them as hostages and forced the Eighth Route Army to stop using landmines. If the Eighth Route Army massacres our overseas Chinese because of this, I guarantee that we will kill ten Times the common people retaliate against them!"

"Go and arrest people right away. Before it gets dark today, we have to walk another fifteen kilometers to arrive at the pre-selected station!"

"Hey... I will do it right away!"

An hour later, the troops finally moved.

After walking for less than 10 minutes, a series of explosions followed and reached the ears of Lieutenant General Ito.

However, this series of explosions did not affect the marching speed of the main force.

After walking less than three kilometers with the troops, Lieutenant General Ito saw two dead horses lying on the side of the road.
