The chief of staff had not yet reacted, and stared at Lieutenant General Ito with a pair of disbelieving eyes.

"Division commander, I don't understand...... The Engineer Wing generally did not go to the battlefield, but only played an auxiliary role in the battle, and posed little threat to the Eighth Route Army. They spent a lot of materials and equipment to set up this minefield, is it just to blow up our engineering wing? ”

"It's really for our engineer wing." Lieutenant General Ito, who was pale, replied with a calm face.

"The Engineer Wing plays a supporting role on the battlefield. But for us, they are now no less than an infantry wing...... If the Engineer Wing is gone, how can we repair the remaining roads damaged by the Eighth Route Army, who will repair them, and can the speed of repair be guaranteed? ”

After a series of questions from Lieutenant General Ito, the chief of staff directly showed a speechless expression of shock.

I was stunned for a few seconds before I reacted: "Division commander, I understand, blow up our engineer wing...... Even if the Eighth Route Army doesn't sneak up on us anymore, just destroying the highway will hold us back for days! ”

"We brought a large number of baggage trucks, cars, heavy artillery, and chariots, and we had to rely on the road to get to Linfen, and the road had to be smooth, without potholes!"

"The Eighth Route Army was so cunning that they came up with this method...... No, I'll go to the forward troops now, the engineer wing must not be killed by the Eighth Route Army, especially the several engineering vehicles equipped by the engineer wing, there must be no accidents! ”

With that, the chief of staff climbed on a war horse and rushed towards the position of the forward troops.

The more than 200-meter-long highway was completely covered by the intense refuge produced by the explosion, and five fingers could not be seen.

It took a full two minutes for the smoke of gunpowder to slowly dissipate, and eighty huge craters appeared in the field of vision of the devil's forward troops!

"Hiss~"

All the devils couldn't help but gasp.

The craters were so big, each one more than a meter deep, one after the other, like a crater, that it was impossible to tell that it was a road five or six meters wide just a few minutes ago.

Nearly 1,000 devil sappers and infantrymen, many of whom were directly blown to death in the explosion.

The residual value of the broken arm was blown up everywhere, and it was like hell when swept over at a glance, which was very tragic.

Add to that the fact that the ground is constantly bleeding from its wounds, and this stretch of road looks even more terrifying......

The chief of staff, who hurried over, happened to see this scene, and saw that his subordinates around him did not move, and shouted loudly: "Bage Yalu, what are you still doing here?" Go and rescue the wounded and see if any warriors are still alive...... There are also engineering vehicles equipped by the engineering wing, can they still be used......"

Ten minutes later, a Shao Zuo rushed over, his head lowered, and his face was very unsightly......

"Chief of Staff, except for the minesweeping squadron, which did not suffer very much losses because it was sandwiched between the infantry, everyone else was in the minefield that had just exploded...... Only 118 Imperial troops were still alive in the entire blast zone, but all of them were seriously injured and completely incapacitated. There are still a lot of seriously injured people inside, and it is estimated that they will not even survive tonight......"

"The three earthdozers were all destroyed, and there was no possibility of repair, and they were directly blown into scrap metal ......"

"The other equipment equipped by the engineer wing also suffered heavy losses, and a lot of it was destroyed~"

"It's over......" The chief of staff came up with these two words directly in his head. Then I thought of Lieutenant General Ito's judgment just now.

The engineering wing is gone, the engineering vehicles are gone, and even if a large number of infantry are dispatched to build the road, in the absence of engineering vehicles, the speed will only be half of the original. This meant that the troops could only march fifteen kilometers a day......

If the Eighth Route Army had any other means to deal with itself, the troops' march would definitely be slower.

There is a distance of about 100 kilometers left, and I can't finish it in ten days!

"Immediately send all the wounded to the rear for treatment...... The forward troops immediately pulled out their troops and repaired the road in front of them. If nothing else, we shouldn't be going any further today! The chief of staff ordered with a calm face, and then hurried back to report to the division commander.

A few kilometers away, Wang Ping, Li Wen...... All witnessed the entire explosion process.

In less than five seconds, the more than 200-meter-long road was covered with smoke, dust, and flying sand and rocks from the explosion.

Seeing this, Wang Ping's tense heart completely relaxed.

"Commander...... It's done, with such a violent explosion, the devil sapper wing will definitely be blown up! Li Wen was more excited than anyone else, and as soon as he saw the picture of gunsmoke on the highway, he reported excitedly.

Chen Jianqiao, the commander of the engineer company, followed with affirmation: "Regiment commander, there are a full eighty heavy artillery shells, and four hundred catties of high explosives captured by the little devils, even if the little devils' chariots are walking on the road, the explosion just now can blow them into scrap metal, not to mention those engineering vehicles and the little devil sappers who have no defense!" ”

"I promise, the little devil sapper wing must have been blown up to the point that there aren't many people left......"

As the smoke cleared, the tragic scenes on the highway all proved the judgment of the two subordinates.

After another ten minutes, a group of little devil infantry entered the blasting area, picked up the equipment scattered on the ground by the engineer wing, and began to repair the road through manpower, and after the main force of the devil stopped directly to rest, Wang Ping knew that the explosion just now directly allowed him to complete the task of slowing down the speed of the Japanese army.

"Regiment commander, as long as we continue to break the road, and destroy it as thoroughly as possible, and prepare a few mines for them from time to time, we will definitely be able to make them march no more than 15 ......kilometers a day," Li Wen reported excitedly when he saw the busy little devils on the road.

"Fifteen kilometers is too long, I want them to march no more than ten kilometers a day~" Wang Ping replied after shooting two sharp edges out of his eyes.

"You just said that we used the most common method to slow down the Japanese army's march, and it doesn't seem to have counted us......"

"Destroying roads, laying mines, engineering company specialization, just hand over to the engineering company. The remaining 300-person combat troops, including the direct team and the reconnaissance platoon, must not be idle, but must also move! ”

"In the past two days, we have a lot of concerns about fighting devils, and we need to think about how to slow down their march. Now that this concern is gone, we should also let go and take care of them. ”

"How can we kill and injure them, destroy them, and save ourselves, we will fight as we want!"

"In the past two days, I have carefully observed the nearly 10-kilometer march of the front-line devils, and the vigilance is very strict and the vigilance is also high. In order to prevent our sneak attack, more than 2,000 cavalry and more than 1,000 infantry patrolled back and forth on both sides of the team to reconnoitre. Even if we were to get close within a kilometer of the road on both sides of the main force and successfully launch an attack, the troops would not be able to retreat. ”

"The speed of the devil cavalry is too fast, and the reaction speed is also fast, it only takes a minute or two to gather three or four hundred cavalry to besiege our sneak attack troops from all directions, and today's sneak attack during the day is the best example. The devil cavalry attacked with poor vigilance, and even the direct team lost four members, and if it was replaced by an ordinary army, the whole army could be wiped out~"

"And with this sneak attack, the devil's vigilance will definitely get better and better, and the vigilance will become more and more stringent, and it will be difficult to sneak attack. Moreover, it is to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 self-losses, this kind of play is too disadvantageous, we can't fight, and we can't withstand consumption......"
