"Boom ......"

The traveling convoy went less than ten kilometers before it came to a halt in a violent explosion.

The chief of staff frowned and jumped out of the co-pilot of the military vehicle, and just as he was about to speak, a series of more violent explosions came over, deafening.

It lasted for half a minute before the explosion stopped intermittently.

A lieutenant with his sleeves already stained red with blood rushed over, and reported with a frightened and panting face: "Sir, mines, we have encountered the electrically detonated mines of the Eighth Route Army again!" ”

"A military vehicle loaded with shells was blown up, and then the shells on the vehicle were detonated. There were too many shells on the car, and they were blown up everywhere, and a total of four military vehicles were not spared, followed by the shells that were blown up, and the surrounding imperial troops were also blown up, and they died almost dead! ”

"Nani?" Loss of five military vehicles and all equipment and ammunition on board at once. Hearing this, the chief of staff was in a hurry, and without saying a word, he raised his legs and hurried forward.

Soon, a picture that was both tragic and bloody appeared in front of the chief of staff.

The five military vehicles were either overturned or on fire, and the road in front of and behind the military vehicles was littered with craters from artillery shells. At a glance, it was clear that the military vehicles blown up by the Eighth Route Army were loaded with mountain artillery shells.

That's not all, on this nearly 100-meter-long road, there are no less than 100 corpses of the imperial army scattered around, everyone is a blur of flesh and blood, and many people have been directly blown up, and even a complete corpse can't be pieced together!

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, cunning Eighth Route Army, I want to kill them all!"

The captain of the cavalry brigade next to him immediately said: "Sir, send someone to counterattack immediately, find and kill them!" ”

The chief of staff, who was holding back his anger, unexpectedly did not impulsively agree, but quickly calmed down and shook his head to answer.

"Calm down, don't be impulsive, this must be a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army!"

Then he stared at the cavalry captain and asked, "Did the troops you sent out just now come back?" ”

"Not yet?" The captain shook his head and replied, because it was the first time he had fought with a new regiment, and he didn't realize that something was wrong.

The chief of staff's brows furrowed suddenly, and then replied in a heavy tone: "Baga! I haven't come back yet, something must have happened! ”

"Even if the two armies are one mile apart, with the speed of cavalry, they can catch up with the Eighth Route Army in five minutes at most, and then attack directly. How long has it been now, there is no news yet, you say, what is the reason if it is not an accident! ”

The captain's face, which was still arrogant just now, suddenly turned pale.

The entire cavalry brigade totaled more than 300 people, and the loss of two squads directly accounted for one-sixth of the total strength.

What's more, if the Eighth Route Army, which attacked him, could eat his two cavalry squads in such a short time, even if he sent a cavalry squadron over, it would be equally dangerous and useless.

However, judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible to send a cavalry squadron out when the enemy situation is unknown.

After hesitating for a moment, he stared at the chief of staff and asked, "Sir, then what should we do next!" ”

"Cavalry brigade, strengthen vigilance, from now on, we must search within a hundred meters on both sides of the highway, and try not to give the Eighth Route Army a chance to sneak attack us!"

"The mixed brigade will send an infantry squadron to cooperate, if it encounters a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army, the infantry will cover, and the cavalry will counterattack, and kill them with lightning speed, but the cavalry troops cannot go deep to chase them alone!"

"Engineer squadron, baggage squadron, immediately build the road, strive for half an hour after we continue to advance, hurry back to Linfen City!"

"As long as we have this batch of equipment and ammunition, it will not be long before the brigade will be back to full strength, and there will be even one more infantry brigade than before. Coupled with the reinforcements sent to us by the headquarters, we will definitely be able to bloody the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and wipe out all the Eighth Route Army! ”

The chief of staff held back his anger and had nowhere to vent, but he was not impulsive, he was still calm, and he knew what was most important to him now.

Stopping and stopping all the way, the road that could have been completed in two hours took four hours.

What's more, the devils lost the equipment and ammunition of sixteen military vehicles, and also lost a cavalry squadron and most of the infantry squadron.

Of course, the guard company also suffered heavy losses under the combined counterattack of the devil cavalry and infantry.

An infantry platoon was wiped out in a sneak attack and was hacked to death by the devil cavalry with a saber.

Another infantry platoon reacted a little quicker, but also suffered heavy losses.

"Your Excellency General, I have failed your trust, please condemn you!" As soon as he saw Major General Matsumoto, the chief of staff replied with his head down.

Matsumoto was not angry, but replied happily: "I already know the whole battle, Chief of Staff, you did a good job!" ”

"In addition, I have ordered all the garrisons along the highway to strengthen their vigilance and defense, as long as they find the Eighth Route Army sneaking up on you, they will immediately counterattack and kill them!"

The chief of staff's face looked a lot better, but soon showed a helpless expression.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, General, for your trust, however, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and there are not many of them, and now that it is getting dark again, they will definitely not be caught!"

Matsumoto's face darkened.

But it didn't take long for him to regain his senses, and he stared at the chief of staff and replied confidently: "Don't worry, with the equipment and ammunition you just brought back, even if those cunning Eighth Route Army run away now, they won't be able to escape the imperial army's revenge on them in the end!" ”

"I looked at the list of remaining weapons and ammunition, and the main losses were all ammunition, and the losses of weapons were not very serious. And our brigade would have had some weapons in stock! ”

"With these equipment, we can not only bring all the garrisons to full strength, but also ensure that the five infantry brigades are fully formed!"

"Together with the infantry wing that the headquarters is about to send over, our special brigade will definitely be able to completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army in Linfen!"

The heavy losses of the new regiment headquarters and the guard company in Sanquan Town did not surprise Wang Ping.

After all, this time the devils are a joint operation, and there are not only infantry, but also cavalry and armored troops.

I've been in a new group for so long, and it's the first time I've met such a devil. If it weren't for the opposition of the political commissar and the chief of staff, Wang Ping would definitely go over and deal with them in person.

Now it seems that the powerful combat effectiveness of the joint operations between the various units of the devils is indeed beyond the comparison of simple infantry.

The guard company is the most combat-effective unit of the new regiment except for the direct subordinate team and reconnaissance platoon, and it is well-equipped, and it is only a sneak attack, and it has lost so many people in just four hours. Wang Ping didn't dare to imagine whether the base area would be able to withstand it if the devils gathered heavy troops and sent such a joint force to attack the base area.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Ping only thought of one solution, and that was to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth!

The devils have cavalry, and they themselves form cavalry.

Thinking of the more than 30 intact war horses brought back by Hong Ruijun and all the equipment of the two cavalry squads of the devils, Wang Ping strengthened his determination to form a cavalry.
