Lieutenant General Ito felt tremendous pressure, and so did Wang Ping.

The fierce counterattack of the Japanese army on the battlefield caused Wang Ping's troops to be reduced by two platoons again.

Such powerful ambush firepower is a perfect layout, and it is also the night battle and ambush battle that the Eighth Route Army is best at... the troops have suffered such great losses. Wang Ping could not imagine how much the new regiment would have to pay in the frontal battle that the Japanese had to fight after they arrived in Linfen.

"Captain, it's almost dawn, and the engineering company is here. Should we start to arrange a battlefield and find a way to kill the Japanese engineer corps..." Wang Ping did not speak with a calm face, and Li Wen next to him couldn't help asking.

"Decoration..." Wang Ping quickly reacted.

"Company Commander Chen buried all the remaining heavy artillery shells and explosives on the highway, forming a two hundred meters explosion point, detonating these heavy artillery shells and explosives through electric detonation, killing all the Japanese entering this highway, and destroying all the engineering vehicles!"

"Please rest assured that the engineer company brought all the wires and explosives in stock when we arrived. We will definitely prepare a huge surprise for the Japanese on the road!" Chen Jianqiao answered confidently.

Then he asked, "Where are you going to arrange it...or is right in front of the Japanese station?"

"No...get farther away..." Wang Ping shook his head and denied.

"The Japanese must have known that we can destroy the chariots in their hands by blasting, so after they start marching at dawn, they will definitely be very cautious and it is not ruled out that they use mine detectors to check the road surface!"

"It should be arranged at a location twenty kilometers away from their base, and it should be arranged in accordance with the degree of damage of the highway~"

"The road where the minefield was arranged should have a deeper degree of damage, so that the Japanese engineers could concentrate all of them on that road as much as possible!"

"Also, all blasting points can only be arranged on the side of the highway, not in the middle of the highway. They must also be buried deep, otherwise their construction car will come out as soon as they smash it!"

At the Japanese army's garrison, 30,000 Japanese Japanese got up and were packing tents, which were both busy and orderly.

Lieutenant General Ito's tent was not packed. At six o'clock in the morning, all the officers under his command were summoned to the command center.

Seeing that Lieutenant General Ito looked bad, no one spoke.

"Everyone, everyone should have known the battle last night... The cunning Eighth Route Army buried explosives and heavy artillery on the battlefield in advance, destroyed five of our war chariots in total, and destroyed nearly a thousand of our imperial troops, giving us a head-on attack... To be honest, I was very shocked. I didn't expect that a regiment of Eighth Route Army would have the courage to launch a sneak attack on our 30,000 imperial troops, and it succeeded... This was simply a shame for the Imperial Army, a shame for our division..."

Seeing Lieutenant General Ito’s angry more and more, the more the captains of the dozen or so regiments were lowered, and they wanted to shrink their necks into the military coat.

The subordinates didn't speak, and Lieutenant General Ito could only continue to speak!

"In order to wash away this shame and let the Eighth Route Army know the strong combat effectiveness of our division... I decided that in the next battle with the Eighth Route Army, our division will not leave any prisoners, and all the Eighth Route Army will be eliminated..."

"In their so-called base, if they encounter Chinese people who dare to resist, they will all be eliminated. I want them to know the military power of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, kill them to resist the Imperial Army, and make them no longer have the courage to betray the Imperial Army!"

When talking about this, Lieutenant General Ito directly showed a murderous expression.

More than a dozen convoy captains answered in unison: "Hi..."

Lieutenant General Ito looked much better and quickly turned his attention to the Chief of Staff: "The Eighth Route Army can bury explosives and heavy artillery shells on the battlefield to destroy our chariots, and it is possible to continue to destroy our chariots on the road we are going to march today... Have your General Staff thought of a solution? I don't want any losses to the chariot brigade before entering Linfen again..."

"Hi..." the Chief of Staff replied immediately.

"The next road must have been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. Bei Zhi intends to order the engineer corps to clear mines and repair the road... This will ensure that there are no explosives on the road!"

"Can you keep up with the speed?" This is the question that Lieutenant General Ito is most concerned about!

"It will be half slower than yesterday... In order to ensure safety, no corner of the road can be spared, and can only clear mines little by little..."

"No... the speed is too slow..." Before the Chief of Staff finished speaking, Lieutenant General Ito interrupted and rejected.

After frowning and hesitating for a few seconds, he made a decision: "The mine-de-exhausted engineers can be divided into several groups, each group is responsible for a 100-meter-long road, so that the road can be eliminated at one time, and the speed will be several times faster..."

"The general is wise, I will arrange it later..." The Chief of Staff replied in front of him.

More than an hour later, the Japanese vanguard troops set off, and the engineer corps were also set off together. The engineer squadron responsible for demining mines, more than 80 Japanese engineers, carrying mine detectors, walked in the front. As soon as they boarded the highway, they were divided into five teams, scattered on a section of the road nearly 500 meters long, and mines were demining at the same time. They did not let go of any places in the middle and sides of the road, as long as there were places where mines could be buried...

Two kilometers away, the Japanese's every move did not escape Wang Ping and Li Wen's eyes.

In order to cooperate with the engineering company to prepare a gift for the Japanese, all the troops separated by the assault battalion and the guard battalion have passed. Wang Ping is now left with direct teams and reconnaissance platoons, with a total strength of less than 60 people.

"Captain, the Japanese are too cautious. According to this kind of mine clearance at that time, the shells buried by the engineer company will definitely be discovered in advance by them!"

"Then let's remove these mine-demining engineers..." Wang Ping said a solution that there was no way.

There are Japanese aircraft cruising above my head, and there are a large number of Japanese cavalry surrounding them for patrol and alert. If you attack rashly, if you don’t have one, the attacking troops will not be able to come back.

Although he had only been in contact with these Japanese troops for a day, Wang Ping had already secretly warned himself in his heart to try to avoid fighting with the Japanese during the day, even if it was sneak attacks and guerrilla warfare...

Thinking of this, Wang Ping's face showed a regretful expression.

"I was too impulsive last night... I had known this would be like this today, I would rather not destroy the Japanese than expose the engineer company last night~"

"The Japanese are too cautious. This is simply aimed at our engineer company, guarding us against our engineer company!"

"We must find a way to remove these mine-demining engineers, even if they pay some losses..."
