Chapter 656: Initial Results (First Update!) )
"Hurry, hurry up, cross the highway right now!" The invalids stood at the intersection and kept urging their subordinates to speed up.
With so much food brought by the troops, there must be no surprises.
Once you are alerted by the devil, and then chase after your ass and beat you, these life-saving foods will definitely be snatched away by the devils.
Therefore, the invalids 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 Invalids' tense nerves finally relaxed, and after a long breath, they prepared to leave the road with the troops of the Royal Highness.
"Devil car!" A soldier next to him suddenly reminded.
"At least two devil cars, how could they come, are we exposed!" Seeing the light shining at the end of the road, the invalids' brows furrowed, and he cried out in a lost voice.
"Retreat, get off the road, the farther the better!"
Here came a patrol of devils, two three-wheeled motorcycles, an armored car.
As there were no cars transporting the infantry to follow, they had to be very fast, and within half a minute they were at the point where they were crossing the road from the Invalids.
The devils who were selected for the patrol were all veterans, with vicious eyes and a keen sense of smell, and they could see at a glance that there was something wrong here.
As soon as the headlights of the motorcycle shone in the direction of the retreat of the invalids, dozens of figures appeared in their field of vision.
"Baga, there is the Eighth Route Army, shoot immediately and kill them!" One of the devil soldiers on the motorcycle shouted.
The machine gun mounted on the motorcycle bucket opened fire quickly, and under the guidance of the headlights, the bullets hit particularly tricky, almost biting the flesh.
At this time, the devil armored car that followed behind also joined in, machine gun fire, artillery fire.
The sound of gunfire, explosions, was very dense, as if there was a skirmish going on here.
It was only when the invalids left behind a dozen corpses and completely disappeared into the night that the devil's machine guns and artillery stopped.
Back at the Tianjia Village Maintenance Association, the guard squad leader walked to the invalids with his head down and demanded punishment, and Wang Jianxin, who got the news, also rushed over.
Seeing that the invalids didn't speak, the instructor hurriedly stood up and cleared the siege and said: "Company commander, I also checked, the devil patrols the highway at night, and it started last night." For such an accident, I don't blame squad leader Wang. ”
Rong Jun frowned and replied, "I don't blame him, I think about other things!" ”
"At first, I thought to myself, thinking that the devil was stupid, building a gun tower on the highway to give us a chance to break through. Now it seems that it is not the devil who is at fault, but ourselves. ”
"Think about it: there are turrets every five kilometers on the road, and with non-stop devil patrols, it must be very difficult for us to cross the road safely as we used to. Last night, only a few dozen of us were grabbed by the tail by the devil and beaten up. When the main force comes out of the mountain, a few hundred people will casually cross the road, isn't that sent to the door for the devil's armored car to be slaughtered? ”
"In addition, with artillery turrets and armored vehicle patrols, the devils can completely control the road!"
"This means that no matter what we do in the future, we can't take the road, and there is a possibility that we will be divided by the devil by the road at any time!"
The instructor frowned and proposed: "Isn't there infantry artillery in the main force of the regiment?" We can bombard the devil's turrets with infantry artillery. There are no turrets, and the road is so long, a few armored vehicles will not be able to control the road even if they are on non-stop patrols! ”
Rong Jun shook his head and replied, "Instructor, you are too underestimated of devils!" ”
"Remember the battle the night before? If we hadn't used a strategy to quickly take the stronghold at the three forks, and waited for the devil's reinforcements to come by car, we would have suffered from the enemy on our backs and suffered even greater losses! ”
"The devils have a car to transport an infantry squad, then there is a car to transport an infantry squadron or even more troops, plus armored cars, they can rush to any place at any time in dozens of minutes, or even minutes, through the road we have reinforced for them, and attack us!"
"After the main force of the regiment left the mountain, it was true that the artillery tower could be attacked with infantry artillery. But it takes time, and this time is enough for the little devil reinforcements to come by car. When the time comes, the main force of the regiment will be attacked by the enemy, or at least it will be beaten by the devil! ”
Speaking of this, the invalids made a decisive decision: "This matter is too important, it must be reported to the regiment commander immediately, so that the regiment headquarters can make a decision as soon as possible!" ”
At the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Linfen City, Matsumoto had just finished breakfast when he saw the good news sent by Matsumoto.
The patrol killed more than a dozen Eighth Route Army soldiers and snatched several hundred catties of grain from the Eighth Route Army. What's more, after the encounter, the Eighth Route Army withdrew in disarray, and did not even take away the dead bodies.
For a general, this result is too small, too small to be counted.
However, Matsumoto was very happy to see this result now, because it had built artillery towers on the highway on his behalf, and sent armored vehicles to patrol the road, and the plan to block and divide the Eighth Route Army had worked.
Raising the telegram in his hand, he ordered the chief of staff: "The number of patrols of the patrol unit will be increased at night!" ”
"I just calculated, with the number of patrols we have now, plus the distance between the turrets is five kilometers away, the Eighth Route Army of one or two hundred people, as long as they seize the opportunity, they still have a chance to cross the road!"
"If they double the number of patrols, they won't have a chance."
"Even if you have the opportunity, you can only cross the road for dozens of people, or even a few people, at a time, which doesn't have much effect on the entire battle situation!"
The chief of staff frowned and thought about it and replied: "Yes, the troops also have it, but we don't have a sufficient number of armored vehicles!" ”
"It's impossible to ask the above!" Matsumoto's brow furrowed.
"The last time I asked the above about so many cars and armored cars, I only got it by using my connections, and it would be good if I could get half of the general garrison brigades."
The chief of staff said with a worried face: "Without armored vehicles to provide fire support, the patrol 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 is more than a small team, they can eat it quickly!"
Matsumoto frowned and spoke, and after thinking for two minutes, he asked the chief of staff in a flash of inspiration, "Car!" Do we still have extra transport cars? ”
"Weld protective steel plates around the transport car, as long as it can block the bullets, and then add a heavy machine gun to the roof of each car, with two shooting holes on each side!"
"Compared with real armored cars, although there are fewer guns, there is definitely no problem in blocking bullets!"
The chief of staff's eyes lit up and affirmed: "It's really okay, unless the Eighth Route Army shoots directly with the direct-aim artillery, it really can't help a car with steel plates!" ”
