Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 953 Devils Divide Their Troops (Part [-])
"The battalion commander... the regiment headquarters sent an urgent call, and the devil's reinforcements are on the way... more than 300 cavalrymen and [-] chariots, all of which are all tanks!" nervously reported.

Ma Houshi frowned and stared at Chen Jianqiao, the engineer company commander, and asked, "Old Chen, I will deal with the cavalry, and you will deal with the tanks~ There are fourteen tanks in total, are you sure you can kill them!"

Chen Jianqiao smiled bitterly and said, "Battlemaster Ma, you are too fond of our engineering company~ We want guns but we don't have guns, we want guns but we don't have guns, how can we destroy so many tanks at once..."

"The order from the head of the regiment?" Ma Houshi directly showed a worried expression on his face!
"The commander's order must be completed~ Even if all the engineering companies are wiped out, it will not affect the overall situation of the commander. Please rest assured, Commander Ma!" Chen Jianqiang replied firmly

"Although the engineer company doesn't have the strength to kill them, it can find a way to hold them back. I have chosen the terrain!"

"Mr. Ma, look at the map. There will be a nearly five-kilometer mountain road for the devils to come over from the stone bridge. I walked it once during the day. There is a cliff here, and the road passes through the cliff. If I blow up this cliff at the same time The stone bridge that Kou and the little devil just passed, then they will be trapped on this section of the road."

"Of course, the devil's tanks can also choose to take the mountain road and bypass other roads to continue their progress~ However, in this way, they will have to circle this mountain for more than 100 kilometers~"

"The tank's fuel is limited, and they don't have a car to transport supplies and fuel to follow. When the fuel is used up, the tank can only lie on the spot, unable to move!"

"Maybe by then we will be able to seize the dozen or so tanks that the devils are lying in our base!"

"A good way..." The worried expression on Ma Houshi's face was instantly wiped away, and then he ordered.

"In this case, let's split up...you will deal with the devil tanks...I will deal with the devil cavalry~"

"Blowing up the cliff entrance can block the passage of the Devil's tank, but it can't stop the Devil's cavalry. They can dismount and go directly across the ruins, but it will take a few more minutes!"

"There are more than 1000 elite devil cavalry, which is also an unprecedented pressure for our cavalry battalion!"

"Rumble..."

It is not very obvious that the roar of the engine is mixed with the sound of horseshoes, but the two sounds can travel far.

In less than half an hour, this mixed force of cavalry and chariots reached the cliff that Chen Jianqiao mentioned.

"Detonate..." Chen Jianqiao ordered with excitement on his face.

"Boom boom boom..."

As the instructor pressed the detonation lever, the ground under his feet suddenly trembled, and then a violent explosion like thunder reached his ears.

"Company Commander, Yakou was blown up by us!" Looking at Yakou 200 meters away filled with gunpowder, the subordinate next to him shouted excitedly.

Chen Jianqiao replied confidently: "Of course at that time~ Although the high explosives in the inventory of the regiment headquarters were used up, there was still black gunpowder, and I also dismantled a full twenty heavy artillery shells, and took hundreds of catties of high explosives from them! So much Gunpowder, not to mention a cliff, even if a mountain is placed in front of us, we can blow it up!"

While speaking, the gunpowder smoke shrouded in the mouth of the cliff has slowly dissipated.

A bloody picture appeared in front of them.

A tank and dozens of surrounding cavalry were buried in the rocks at the entrance of the cliff. Because there were too many corpses of all kinds, a stone mountain with a height of more than five meters was piled directly on the road at the entrance of the cliff.

On both sides of the stone mountain, the ghost cavalry who have passed the cliff and those who have not passed through the cliff, all stare at the mountain of broken corpses at the cliff~

The headquarters of the Japanese Army Division outside Xiangfen City learned that the 135th Regiment had been attacked and that the Xinyi Regiment was likely to swallow up one of its own infantry regiments in one gulp, Lieutenant General Ito's sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

Staying in the war room, pacing back and forth.

Although he didn't speak, everyone in the headquarters could see the anxiety in the head of the division at this moment.

Therefore, even though there were several people working in the tent, everyone was cautious, fearing that a single sound of their own would detonate the anxiety of the division commander, and then vent their anger on themselves.

"Division commander, urgent call from the cavalry regiment... something happened to them!"

The appearance of the Chief of Staff broke the silence in the tent, but made the atmosphere even more depressing.

Tonight, since it got dark, Lieutenant General Ito has not received any good news in this tent, not even a single one.

Everyone saw that Lieutenant General Ito's face turned from worry at the beginning to gloomy in an instant, and it took a long time to react.

"What's going on~"

"Here..." the Chief of Staff introduced, pointing to the map.

"There is a cliff here, with mountains on both sides, and the road passes through the cliff. But the Eighth Route Army planted a lot of explosives at the cliff, and when the reinforcements passed by, it blew up the cliff... The flying rocks that fell from the sky not only buried our car. Tanks and a squad of cavalry also blocked a five-meter-high stone mountain on the road, and the tank troops could not pass through the cliff to continue to reinforce the 135th Regiment!"

"I understand!" Lieutenant General Ito replied calmly.

"The reason why the Eighth Route Army dared to attack the 135th Regiment right under our noses is because of this cliff entrance, blocking our reinforcements through the cliff and buying time for them to attack the 135th Regiment!"

"No! The enemy's tricks must not be allowed to succeed. The 135th regiment must not be wiped out~ Otherwise, we will become sinners of the empire!"

"Chief of Staff, is there a road to bypass this cliff!"

"Yes...but it needs to detour for more than 100 kilometers~ However, with the speed of the chariot, it will definitely arrive at the battlefield in four hours!" The chief of staff introduced, pointing to the map.

Lieutenant General Ito shook his head and vetoed: "No! It's too long... The Eighth Route Army attacking the 135th Regiment is equipped with armored vehicles, and they have lost all their heavy artillery and mountain artillery. They must not last that long!"

The chief of staff hesitated and replied: "Then there is only one way~"

"The reinforcements are divided...the cavalry crossed the mountain of broken corpses at the entrance of the cliff, and continued to reinforce the 135th Regiment on the same road, and they can reach the battlefield in four to ten minutes at most!"

"The chariot brigade goes around and reinforces the 135th regiment!"

"Just do it!" Lieutenant General Ito gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Although dividing troops is very dangerous, in order to rescue the 135th regiment, I can't control so much! No matter how big the risk is, I have to take it. In a word, I will never allow a regiment to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in my hands!"

"I'll give an order right away!" The chief of staff raised his leg and was about to rush out.

"Wait a minute!" Lieutenant General Ito chased after the order.

"Remind the cavalry regiment that they cannot be opponents of armored vehicles, but the number of armored vehicles in the hands of the Eighth Route Army is limited, and it is impossible to spread them everywhere. Therefore, when on the battlefield, avoid armored vehicles as much as possible, and only fight against the infantry of the Eighth Route Army. Give the 135th regiment Relief!"

"As long as one infantry brigade is rescued, the rest will be much easier!"
