"That's what I thought, with the engineer battalion assigned to our two Reading Regiments, to plant a certain amount of explosives in Haseguchi and connect them to the detonating device. As soon as all the troops enter the valley mouth, the explosives buried at the feet of the little devils will be detonated immediately. I believe that a little devil who strengthened the brigade will lose most of his army if not all of his troops under the blasting of a large number of explosives. And with the explosion of the explosives, when the little devils have not yet reacted from the explosion just now, our two regiments immediately launched a charge, and we must use bayonets and machine guns to eliminate the remaining little devils in the mouth of Hasei in the shortest possible time..."

"Lao Lin, this trick of the commander is really poisonous. As long as we have enough explosives, maybe one blast will be able to reimburse all the little devils for a reinforced brigade. I agree with your battle plan, this reinforced brigade that completely annihilates the little devils..."Yang Dezhi, the commander of the Second Independent Regiment, stood up with excitement on his face and said.

"Captain Lin, what about us?" After listening to Lin Wei's plan, the remaining two regiment commanders also nodded secretly, and eagerly wanted to know their tasks..."Don't worry, Commander Li, how much explosives do you have left in your engineer regiment now." I now want to see how much capital we have, and how big a pot we can prepare for the Second Infantry Wing of the opposing army. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to complete the task at that time, but we may also capsize in the gutter..."Looking at the two regiment commanders in front of him with eager faces, Lin Wei said with a smile.

"Head Lin, don't worry about this. Although our engineering regiment was in the Baita Mountain area, a large amount of explosives were used. However, a full thousand kilograms of explosives remained. In addition, if it is not enough, we can also use artillery shells to bury them in the ground, and the power of the explosion is no weaker than explosives..."While speaking, Commander Li of the Engineer Regiment looked at Zhou Zhiguo of the Artillery Regiment beside him..."This, Commander Lin, you can rest assured, when the time comes, I will be able to provide as many shells as Lao Li De's Engineer Regiment wants." In order to be able to better hit the little devils, this time I brought enough shells, and the average of each cannon can reach about 100 rounds, which is enough to squander..."Seeing the eyes of the three people converge on himself at the same time. Zhou Zhigang, the commander of the artillery regiment, hurriedly replied.

"Okay, in that case, let's prepare a cauldron for the little devil's Second Infantry Wing. Not only do you want to give him a heavy blow, but if possible, cripple this infantry wing as much as possible...."After listening to the conversation between the two regiment commanders, Lin Wei was full of confidence in the battle he was about to face..."Commander Lin, you can assign the task..."The eyes of the two regiment commanders showed a hint of sharpness at the same time, and they asked with excitement on their faces.

"The two remaining battalions of the Engineer Regiment began to plant explosives about a kilometer from Haseguchi with the remaining explosives and artillery shells. It is calculated according to the length of the march of an infantry wing of the army. An infantry wing, plus all kinds of baggage and artillery, the entire marching column may be two kilometers long... Therefore, your engineer regiment should plant explosives in all the two kilometers of road as much as possible... When the time comes, as soon as the little devil steps into the area where the explosives are buried, he will immediately detonate it... Let the little devil have a good taste of what it is like to take a dirt plane..."Lin Wei ordered with excitement on his face.

"Head Lin, don't worry. This time, we must let the little devil make a good earthen plane..."Li Guohua, the commander of the engineer regiment, accepted this order with a smile on his face. You must know that your own engineering regiment, since its establishment, has never directly gone to the battlefield to kill devils. And this time, his own engineer regiment turned out to be the main force to eliminate the little devils, and it was an elite infantry wing at one time, can this not make Li Guohua, the head of the engineer regiment, happy?

"Commander Lin, what about my artillery regiment. Why did you say that the vanguard of the army and the second infantry wing were wiped out by you, and I didn't hear the tasks of the artillery regiment...."Seeing that the three regiments around me have their own tasks, and more importantly, the artillery shells of my own artillery regiment have to contribute a lot to the engineering regiments around me. Regiment Commander Zhou Zhigang couldn't help but get anxious..."Old Zhou, I have another task here, but this task is not mentioned in the commander's battle plan, and this mission also has a certain danger... I don't know if you dare to go next. However, I can say with certainty that as long as this task can be successfully completed, our army will definitely be relieved of a lot of pressure in the ambush battle in the Baita Mountains in a few days. Looking at Zhou Zhigang, the commander of the artillery regiment in front of him, Lin Wei said with a serious face.

"Commander Lin, if you have any tasks, just say it....the soldiers of our artillery regiment are not vegetarians. As long as it is a little devil, it is guaranteed to complete the task..."Listening to Lin Wei's words, Zhou Zhigang's fighting spirit couldn't help but be stimulated. looked at Lin Wei in front of him, and said with excitement on his face. It's like if Lin Wei doesn't assign tasks, he will be like Lin Wei is not finished..."Old Zhou, since you say so, then I'll talk about my thoughts." I mean, it was a good time for us to launch an offensive against the avant-garde brigade of the Japanese army. Use artillery to carry out long-range strikes, and under the cover of an infantry battalion of the Second Regiment, knock out the artillery wing of the Yue Army as much as possible, so that the artillery wing of the Yue Army will completely lose its combat effectiveness...."In the gaze of the three people, Lin Wei said what he thought in his heart.

"What, the shelling of the artillery wing of the army ... Lao Lin, I heard you right... If the artillery regiment is not transferred in time, it will fall into the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army, so don't you let the artillery regiment send you to death?" Yang Dezhi, the head of the Duer Regiment, opened his big mouth and said with an incredible expression.

"Commander Lin, I also feel that the decision to shell the artillery wing of the Yue Army is very dangerous. You must know that all the equipment of the divisional artillery regiment is mountain artillery and field artillery, and it is very difficult to transfer. As I understand it, it will take at least a few tens of minutes to transfer so many pieces of artillery. And the little devil, after being shelled again, can send heavy troops to outflank the two flanks of our artillery position..."Li Guohua, commander of the engineering regiment, also stood up and directly opposed the proposal made by Lin Wei just now.

However, after listening to the answers of two people. Lin Wei did not speak. Instead, he looked at Zhou Zhigang, the commander of the artillery regiment in front of him, who was already in thought. I hope that Zhou Zhigang in front of him can give himself a satisfactory answer, after all, in terms of artillery command, Zhou Zhigang is more clever and proficient than everyone here..."The three regiment commanders, in fact, shelling the artillery wing of the Yue Army is not an impossible task. As long as the time is allocated properly, the task can be completed, and then the retreat can be carried out safely..."Just when the eyes of the three people were focused on themselves. Zhou Zhigang, the commander of the artillery regiment, finally spoke.

"What? Head Zhou, you have to think clearly. At that time, if you are not careful, your artillery regiment will be surrounded by the heavy troops of the Yue Army, and when the time comes..."After listening to Zhou Zhiguo's words, the two people who were still stunned just now were even more shocked at this moment. They all stared at their own eyes, like looking at monsters, looking at Zhou Zhiguo in front of them.

"Don't look at me like that, I have a basis for saying that." Looking at several people, they all stared at themselves with a pair of curious eyes. Head Zhou Zhigang was uncomfortable and quickly explained.

"Okay....Commander Zhou, I want to listen carefully, what can you do to successfully complete the task, and bring so much heavy equipment out of the heavy encirclement of the army..." Yang Dezhi, the head of the Second Regiment, embarrassedly put away his curious gaze. At the same time, he pricked up his ears and looked at Zhou Zhigang in front of him thoughtfully.

"Three regimental leaders, that's what I think. In my artillery regiment, the closest range is the 75mm mountain gun. And the effective firing range of this mountain gun is 5000 meters. As for the remaining 75-mm field guns, the firing range can reach an astonishing 7000 meters. Therefore, our artillery positions can be arranged at a distance of 10 miles from the artillery wing of the Chinese army. At that time, even if the little devil reacts when we launch an artillery bombardment, and outflanks our artillery position with his fastest marching speed, then it will take at least half an hour..."Zhou Zhigang thought about the data that he had memorized in his head, and explained to the three regiment commanders in front of him.

"But, Captain Zhou, this is only half an hour after all. In half an hour, will your artillery regiment be able to complete all the tasks of the shelling and a safe retreat? After listening to Zhou Zhigang's answer, Li Guohua, the head of the engineering regiment, nodded thoughtfully. However, in just a moment, he frowned again and asked. Because, in his eyes, half an hour is a very short time for artillerymen.

"Half an hour is enough... According to the firing rate of mountain artillery and field artillery, it only takes us ten minutes to pour at least 2,000 shells into the marching column of the artillery wing. In addition, because of the reorganization of a series of units in the military sub-divisions, the current artillery regiment has basically realized the transformation of mules and horses... It only takes fifteen minutes, and I can guarantee that all the guns will be disassembled, placed on mules and horses, and quickly transferred ... In addition, the artillery regiment also has an infantry battalion to cover, an infantry battalion, which can completely delay the army for several minutes. So, the last ten minutes left were enough for all our artillery regiments to move into the mountains... When the time comes, even if the little devils surround our artillery positions, there will be no way to take us! Zhou Zhigang affirmed his arrangement.

"Well... 2000 shells, as long as half of them can kill the enemy. An artillery wing of the army, under the shelling of such a dense artillery shell, even if it does not die, will shed a layer of skin... If we are really able to accomplish this operational objective, we will not only successfully complete the task assigned by the commander, but also carry out a certain excess..."Listening to Zhou Zhigang's answer, regiment commander Lin Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he replied with excitement on his face.

With the affirmative answer of Zhou Zhigang, the head of the artillery regiment, Lin Wei's proposal was accepted by everyone without any accidents. In the following time, the regiments immediately began to march to their positions in accordance with the pre-battle arrangements. At Haseguchi were two infantry regiments and a subordinate engineer battalion. It was under the command of Lin Wei that the graves were arranged for the avant-garde reinforcement brigade of the army... More than 300 fighters of the engineer battalion, in the one-kilometer-long Haseguchi. With 500 kilograms of explosives and hundreds of mortar shells in hand, the position began to be arranged. 500 kilograms of explosives were divided into 100 bags weighing five kilograms by the fighters. At the same time, at intervals of ten meters on the road, an explosive pack, a mortar shell, was laid. As for the explosive packs, they were all connected in series with wires and detonators. As long as the little devil walks into this ambush circle, the detonator moves slightly, and the 500 kilograms of explosives, together with nearly 100 shells, will all explode in just a few seconds. It is conceivable that more than a thousand little devils, after this huge explosion, what will be left?

As for the remaining two battalions of the engineer regiment, they took two infantry battalions, 500 kilograms of explosives and 1,000 shells provided by the artillery regiment, quickly arrived only one kilometer away from Haseguchi and began to set up positions... And the little devils they have to deal with are the more than 3,000 little devils left in the Second Infantry Wing of the Yue Army.

In order to kill and injure the living forces of the army as much as possible, the regiment commander Li Guohua knew that his only way was to use the power of 500 kilograms of explosives and 1,000 shells in his hands to the extreme. And one of the most important points is to reasonably allocate the limited explosives and shells in your hands.

According to the information sent by the special service company of the only regiment, after continuous strikes, at this moment, the second infantry wing of the Chinese army has lost a whole infantry brigade. The strength of the entire infantry wing has also been sharply reduced to more than 3,400 people. With the addition of all kinds of baggage and artillery, the entire contingent marched at a distance of 2,000 meters..."Regiment commander, is it not according to the information provided by the special service company of the only regiment, a total of 2,000 meters of explosives were planted on the road...."Looking at the open road in front of him, with almost no concealment, the commander of the second battalion of the engineering regiment approached the side of the regiment commander Li Guohua and suggested.

"No, two thousand meters is too short. This is just the length of the marching column when the army is on a normal march. In the afternoon, in order to reinforce the avant-garde reinforcement brigade in the shortest possible time, the army will certainly speed up the march of the troops. According to the difference in the speed of the infantry artillery, by the time the little devils arrived here, their marching column would have dragged hundreds of meters away. Therefore, the length of the explosives was set at 2,500 meters. The head of the regiment, Li Guohua, thought quietly for a few seconds, and then said with a face full of affirmation.

"Yes, regimental commander....", both battalion commanders replied at the same time

"Well, we have a total of 500 kilograms of explosives. The fighters were ordered to make a bag of explosives for every two kilograms of explosives. At the same time, the distance between the burial of each explosive package is 10 meters. However, in order to make the most of these explosive packs, we must also use the 1,000 shells provided to us by the artillery regiment. The soldiers were asked to plant the explosives packs at the same time, and each explosives pack must be placed on top of four shells that would be unsafed..."Looking at the two battalion commanders in front of him. The head of the regiment, Zhou Zhiguo, continued to give orders to the two people.

"Commander, don't worry. This time, we relied on the strength of the engineer regiment to let the Second Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army have a good taste of what it is like to take a dirt plane... At the same time, let the soldiers know that our engineer regiment can not only build bridges and build roads, but also kill devils..."The second battalion commander replied with a confident face.

"Well, well said. We just want to let the soldiers know that we sappers can also kill devils with the tools in our hands, and they are no worse than the infantry..."Regiment Commander Li Guohua was also full of excitement.

And just when the two engineer battalions, under the command of the regiment commander, began to be arranged. Zhou Zhiguo, commander of the artillery regiment, had already taken the 36 artillery pieces in the regiment to a position he had already chosen. As for this carefully selected artillery position, located about 4 km from the road, it fully met its own requirements. Among them, what made Zhou Zhiguo most satisfied when he arrived was that less than a kilometer behind this position was a big mountain. And its own artillery regiment is fully capable of moving to the mountains in about twenty minutes after the end of the shelling of the artillery wing of the Japanese army....

And just when the four regiments were in their positions, carrying out busy. The 14th Division of the Japanese Army had a rest in the middle of the night, plus a hearty breakfast. Almost every little devil is highly motivated and confident about his future. Finally, more than 20,000 little devils, under the command of the division commander, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, began their journey on a new day.

Again, in order to prevent the possible emergence of small blocking forces of the Eighth Route Army ... A reinforced brigade of more than 1,400 little devils, under the command of the division commander, was the first to walk out of the camp last night... This was followed by the 2nd Infantry Wing, which had only more than 3,400 men left... Next is the main forces of the division ... It took more than an hour for the entire division and more than 20,000 troops to walk out of the camp and start their own journey..."Chief of Staff, the way we march now is still the way in which the Eighth Route Army was left yesterday and could not find any flaws. Do you think that today's offensive of our army will go well...."Looking at the soldiers of the Imperial Army with high morale on both sides of the car. The bored division commander asked with a smile at the chief of staff beside him.
