Chapter 610: Shocking Explosion (Third Update!) )
"The commander of the division, the demining squadron lost 26 people of the Imperial Army. If such a sneak attack were to happen again, we would not have professional demining sappers. When the time comes, our minesweepers will be even slower! As soon as the commander of the engineer wing learned the casualty data, he ran to Lieutenant General Ito and complained.
Lieutenant General Ito stared at him without speaking, but his face was very unsightly.
After a full minute, he sneered: "You don't want to continue demining?" If the safety of the road could not be guaranteed, some chariots were destroyed by artillery shells planted in advance by the Eighth Route Army during the march. May I think that this responsibility should be borne by your engineering wing......"
The wing commander couldn't afford such a big responsibility, so he quickly shook his head and replied: "Division commander, you misunderstood, this is not what you mean. For the safety of the tank brigade, demining must not only not stop, but also further strengthen the ......"
"And what do you mean?" Lieutenant General Ito's face looked much better.
The commander of the engineer wing immediately replied: "I want to mix the mine-clearing squadron and the forward unit to carry out mine-clearing. In this way, the distance between the two cavalry squadrons in the forward will be directly shortened by half. ”
"The distance of the alert route is shorter, and there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for the Eighth Route Army to take advantage of. There's no way they'll continue to attack us......"
"The purpose of the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery shells planted on the road is to destroy our tank troops, regardless of whether the minesweeping squadron is deployed in front of or behind the engineer wing, it can ensure that the road on which the tank brigade is about to pass is safe!"
"In this case, the mine-sweeping squadron can completely mix in the forward troops to carry out mine-sweeping, so as to avoid the Eighth Route Army's special attack on our mine-sweeping squadron!"
Twenty or so devils are not many for Lieutenant General Ito, but if these twenty people are all professional minesweepers, he will have a heartache.
There are still more than 100 kilometers to get to Linfen, and in order to avoid accidents, they need to clear the more than 100 kilometers of highways little by little. If they lose too much, the demining will definitely slow down, or even stop. In this way, the march of the troops will be slowed down as a result!
Lieutenant General Ito's face slowly became solemn.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided, "Just do as you say...... In addition, another cavalry squadron was drawn from the main force to supplement the cavalry wing directly under the brigade to ensure the safety of the mine-sweeping squadron...... Their safety is so important that there must be no more accidents! ”
Until this moment, all the devils, including Lieutenant General Ito, believed that Wang Ping's purpose in transferring the engineer company was to deal with the chariots in their hands. Completely unaware of it, Wang Ping planned to use a knife to prepare nearly a hundred heavy artillery shells and almost all the high explosives in the inventory against their engineering wing, a unit that basically never went to battle.
"Regiment commander, the devils have moved, they have withdrawn the mine-clearing sappers to the back, and mixed with their forward troops to carry out mine-sweeping!" Li Wen's gloomy face finally showed a smile, and when he saw Wang Ping, he reported excitedly.
For this result, the direct team lost four assaulters, which is equivalent to the loss of one assault group.
Since the establishment of the direct team, there has never been a battle in which so many team members have been lost.
If such a big loss can't achieve the goal, then Li Wen will definitely even have the idea of hitting the wall.
A smile also appeared on Wang Ping's tense face. Without hesitation, he ordered: "Leave one combat detachment to continue to follow the devils, and the others follow me on the path and go directly to the engineer company!" As long as we can detonate and kill the devil engineer wing at one time, then our mission of dragging the devil on the road for ten days can be successfully completed! ”
In less than half an hour, Wang Ping found Chen Jianqiao, who had already arranged a mine array and was panting and resting.
Whether you can hold back the devil or not, the key depends on the next earth-shattering explosion.
To put it more seriously, the key to whether the new regiment can hold the base in the next bitter battle and fight a draw with the devil is also here.
Therefore, Wang Ping was more nervous about the arrangement of the engineer company than anyone else.
"Company Commander Chen, are you ready for the devil's thunder array......" Wang Ping asked as soon as he saw Chen Jianqiao.
"That's it! The head of the regiment ......" Chen Jianqiao hurriedly replied.
"A total of eighty heavy artillery shells, four hundred pounds of high explosives, all buried on the road in front, the total length of the minefield reached two hundred and fifty meters, and the depth of each heavy artillery shell reached one meter, and the wires connecting these explosives were also buried one meter deep, and they would definitely not be discovered by the little devils!"
"In addition, in order to avoid accidents, I used all the wires I brought, nearly twelve kilometers long, and arranged three sets of wires to the detonation point, even if two of the lines went wrong, with the remaining set of wires, all heavy artillery shells and explosives could be detonated instantly!"
"Yes, the little devil is coming, let the warriors get ready!" Wang Ping breathed a long sigh of relief and ordered with an expectant expression.
Lieutenant General Ito sat in the passenger seat of the car, leaning back in the seat and closing his eyes, the constantly shaking body woke him up from time to time, but he was so sleepy that he didn't even have the strength to scold, and closed his eyes again in a few seconds.
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, a series of earth-shaking explosions reached his ears. The eyes that were still closed just now quickly opened, and two very sharp edges shot outward.
The normal car came to a halt with a screeching sound of brakes.
The huge inertia made Lieutenant General Ito almost hit the windshield.
"Yaga ......" Lieutenant General Ito didn't care about holding the driver responsible, opened the door and jumped in.
Nearby guards reacted faster, and dozens of guards were already besieging the city around the car.
"What happened to the explosion just now? Such a violent explosion could never have been an ordinary sneak attack......" questioned the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Ito.
"Send someone to the ...... at once It seems to have come from the direction of the forward troops! The chief of staff hastened to answer.
He was also frightened by the explosion just now, and although he didn't know what was happening in front of him, he could still hear the explosion of heavy artillery shells.
As soon as the combat staff officer rushed out of the protective circle, the communications staff officer guarding the car compartment shouted loudly!
"Sir, the forward troops are in a hurry......"
"The engineer wing was attacked, and the Eighth Route Army laid a minefield more than 200 meters long on the road, and the entire engineer wing was bombed, and an infantry squadron immediately behind it was also affected. Now the troops are rescuing the wounded, and the exact losses are not yet known! The chief of staff, who glanced at the contents of the telegram, frowned and reported loudly.
"Engineer wing, how is that possible? Aren't they aimed at our tanks? Lieutenant General Ito asked with a look of disbelief.
But after only a few seconds, he reacted and exclaimed with a sudden realization.
"Eight Geyalu, we were fooled......"
After saying these words, Lieutenant General Ito's face turned pale.
At this time, he had already thoroughly figured out the huge conspiracy hidden behind the earth-shattering explosion just now!
