"The division commander, the mine-deletion squadron lost 26 people in the Imperial Army. If such a sneak attack is done again, we will not have professional mine-deletion engineers. At that time, our mine-clearance will be slower!" The commander of the engineer corps ran to Lieutenant General Ito to complain as soon as he knew the casualties.

Lieutenant General Ito stared at him without saying a word, but his face looked very bad.

After a full minute, he sneered: "Don't you want to continue to clear mines? If you cannot guarantee the safety of the road, a tank was destroyed by shells buried in advance by the Eighth Route Army during the march. Can I think that this responsibility should be borne by your engineer corps..."

The corps leader cannot bear such a great responsibility, so he quickly shook his head and replied: "Teacher Commander, you misunderstood. This is not what he meant. For the safety of the chariot brigade, the mine clearance cannot be stopped, but also further strengthened..."

"Then what do you mean?" Lieutenant General Ito's face looked much better.

The captain of the Engineering Corps immediately replied: "Biyi wants to mix the minesweeping squadron and the vanguard troops together to clean mines. In this way, the distance between the two cavalry squadrons of the vanguard will be directly shortened by half."

"The distance to the alert route is shorter, and the Eighth Route Army can take advantage of fewer and fewer opportunities. They can't continue to attack us..."

"The purpose of the Eighth Route Army burying heavy artillery shells on the road is to destroy our chariot troops. Whether the minesweeping squadron is arranged in front of or behind the engineer corps, it can ensure that the road surface of the chariot brigade is about to pass is safe!"

"Since that's the case, the minesweeping squadron can completely mix in the middle of the vanguard troops to clear mines, to avoid the Eighth Route Army's special attack on our minesweeping squadron!"

There were not many more than twenty Japanese devils for Lieutenant General Ito, but if these twenty people were all professional mine-sweeping engineers, he would be heartbroken.

There are more than 100 kilometers to reach Linfen. In order to avoid business accidents, these more than 100 kilometers of roads require them to clear mines bit by bit. If their losses are too large, the mine removal will definitely slow down or even stop. In this way, the marching of the troops will slow down as a result!

Lieutenant General Ito's face gradually became solemn.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to say, "Just do what you said... In addition, draw another cavalry squadron from the main force to add that the cavalry corps directly under the brigade to ensure the safety of the minesweeping squadron... Their safety is too important, and there must be no accidents!"

Until this moment, all the Japanese, including Lieutenant General Ito, believed that Wang Ping's purpose of transferring the engineer company to deal with the chariots in their hands. He was completely unaware that Wang Ping planned to kill the chicken and use a ox knife to prepare nearly 100 heavy artillery shells and almost all the stock of fierce explosives to deal with their engineer corps, a unit that basically never goes to the battlefield.

"Captain, the Japanese have moved. They have retreated the minesweeping engineers to the back and mingled with their vanguard troops to carry out minesweeping!" Li Wen finally smiled on his gloomy face, and he reported excitedly when he saw Wang Ping.

For this result, the direct team lost four assaulters, which was equivalent to one assault team missing.

Since the establishment of the direct team, there has never been a battle to lose so many players.

If such a huge loss cannot achieve the goal, Li Wen will definitely have the idea of ​​hitting the wall.

Wang Ping also had a smile on his tense face. He ordered without hesitation: "Leave a combat team to continue following the Japanese. Others follow me on the path and go directly to the engineer company! As long as we can detonate the Japanese engineer corps in one go, the mission of holding the Japanese for ten days on the road will be successfully completed!"

In less than half an hour, Wang Ping found Chen Jianqiao, who had arranged a mine array and was resting with gasps.

Whether the Japanese can hold back depends on the shocking explosion that follows.

To put it more seriously, the key to whether the Xinyi regiment can defend its base in the next hard battle and tie the Japanese with the devils is also here.

Therefore, Wang Ping was more nervous about the arrangement of the engineering company than anyone else.

"Company Commander Chen, you have prepared all the thunder formations for the Japanese..." Wang Ping asked after seeing Chen Jianqiao.

"Okay! Leader..." Chen Jianqiao answered quickly.

"There are a total of eighty heavy artillery shells and 400 kilograms of strong explosives, all buried on the road ahead. The total length of the minefield has reached 250 meters, and the buried depth of each heavy artillery shell has reached one meter. The wire connecting these explosives is also buried one meter deep, so it will definitely not be seen by the Japanese!"

"In addition, in order to avoid business accidents, I used all the wires I brought, which were nearly twelve kilometers long, and arranged three sets of lines to the detonation point. Even if there was a problem with two of the lines, the remaining set of lines could instantly detonate all heavy artillery shells and explosives!"

"Yes, the Japanese are coming soon, let the soldiers be prepared!" Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief and ordered with anticipation.

Lieutenant General Ito was sitting in the co-pilot of the car, leaning against the back of the chair, closing his eyes to rest. 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 curse, and closed his eyes again in a few seconds.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, a series of earth-shaking explosions reached his ears. His eyes, which were still closed just now, opened up and shot out two very sharp edges.

The normal-moving car stopped suddenly with a harsh sound of brakes.

The huge inertia almost made Lieutenant General Ito hit the windshield.

"Baga..." Lieutenant General Ito did not care about holding the driver accountable, so he opened the car door and jumped down.

The nearby guards responded faster, and dozens of escorts had already surrounded the city in a circle around the car.

"What happened to the explosion just now? Such a violent explosion is absolutely impossible to be an ordinary sneak attack..." Lieutenant General Ito questioned when he saw the Chief of Staff.

"I will send someone to the office immediately... It seems that it was coming from the vanguard's troops!" The Chief of Staff quickly answered.

He was also frightened by the explosion just now. Although he was not sure what had happened before, he could still hear the explosion of heavy artillery shells.

The combat staff member who rushed out of the protection circle, the communications staff member who was guarding the carriage shouted!

"Sir, the vanguard's force is urgent..."

"The Engineer's Regiment was attacked, and the Eighth Route Army laid a minefield of more than 200 meters on the road. The entire Engineer's Regiment was bombed, and an infantry squadron that followed was also affected. The troops are now rescuing the wounded, and the specific losses are not clear!" The Chief of Staff, who glanced at the content of the telegram, frowned and reported loudly.

"How is it possible for the Engineer's Corps? Isn't their target our chariot?" Lieutenant General Ito asked with disbelief.

But after only a few seconds he realized and shouted with a sudden enlightenment.

"Bageyalu, we were fooled..."

After saying these words, Lieutenant General Ito's face turned pale.

At this time, he had completely figured out the huge conspiracy hidden behind the shocking explosion just now!
