"This is what happened, stop showing off!"

The Japanese army was blocked from retreating by the minefields laid by the militiamen of the First Army Division.

At present, there are only two paths for the little devil to choose. The first path is to clear the mines. After the mines are cleared, retreat!

The second option is to take a detour!

Both of these options are very time-consuming for the kid.

If the time is delayed until the next night, the Chinese army will continue to lay mines.

If this continues, the Japanese army will fall into an endless cycle until they are exhausted.

The captain of the little devil's cavalry unit tried to capture a group of Chinese people and give them a thunder!

However, Zhao Zhiguo seemed to have expected that the Japs would do this and moved all the people in the nearby villages away.

The captain of the Japanese cavalry regiment had no choice. At this moment, the captain of the Japanese armored regiment looked at the remaining horses of the cavalry regiment and began to think.

But the commander of the Japanese armored force did not dare to express his thoughts.

The cavalry regards their horses as family members, especially the noble officers among the cavalry. They regard their horses as more important than their own lives.

If the horses are driven into the minefield, it is estimated that the cavalry captain will lead the remaining cavalry to fight with their armored units.

Before they fight against the Chinese army, they will first start killing each other.

The Japanese cavalry commander looked at the armored commander's eyes, and he immediately understood what the armored commander meant.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

It is better to let the war horses go to the mines than to let them go to the mines themselves.

Seeing that their horses did not die in the charge, but died in the mine array, the little devil himself could be depressed to death.

Having lost the battle, the morale of the cavalry regiment was very low. If we let them drive their horses to the minefield, would the cavalry unit still have the fighting spirit in the next battle?

Driving the war horses into the minefield was equivalent to removing the last spiritual pillar of the Japanese cavalry regiment.

The captain of the Japanese armored regiment shook his head helplessly. As he spoke, an explosion came from the front. The Japanese soldier who was clearing mines triggered a decoy mine and was killed on the spot.

The Japanese soldiers watching looked at each other, and then the next person continued on.

That's how war is, it's your turn one day, and no one can avoid it.

However, the huge minefield is full of dense mines, some are fake mines, and some are real mines. When encountering fake mines, no one dares to ignore them. When encountering real mines, there are also various types of mines, including multiple mines,

There are various types of decoy mines. If you are not careful, the little devil who clears the mines will die.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, it will take us at least five to eight hours to clear the minefield ahead," the Japanese communications officer reported.

Overnight, all the militiamen participated in the work of laying mines. Laying mines was easy, and clearing mines was like dancing on the tip of a knife.

If the demining goes well, they may be able to complete their work during the day. If not, they will have to stay here tonight.

Moreover, at night, Zhao Zhiguo's militiamen would continue to lay mines.

The Japanese army has not arrived yet. It was easy to come, but it is harder to leave than to climb to the sky.

The captain of the Little Japanese Cavalry Regiment refused to agree to use their horses to clear the mines, so they could only continue to let the soldiers clear the mines.

"Commander, the remaining Japanese cavalry and their armored forces are united, but they are trapped on the road and are clearing mines."

"This little devil is still thinking about demining, so let them do it and send a telegram to the political commissar. They can launch a counterattack. The goal is to defeat the Japanese troops in front of them, and then pose a threat to the Japanese troops in front of Pingcheng from the side and rear." Zhao Zhiguo.

Order.

Without the threat of Japanese cavalry and armored troops, although the Japanese infantry on the front would not be at the mercy of Zhao Zhiguo, a Chinese army suddenly appeared on the flank of Gangcun. Gangcun must have felt that this Chinese army might cut off their main force's retreat.

.

The cavalry and armored forces are already deeply encircled. If the main infantry force is left in dire straits, Gangcun's 100,000-strong army will lose at least 70%.

With such a large-scale loss, let alone resolving the difficulties of annexing the state, it is not certain whether Gangcun can save North China.

Zhao Zhiguo then cooperated with the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines to launch a counterattack, taking over the North China Plain in one fell swoop and cutting off the Japanese army's north-south communication lines.

The Japanese army in Manchuria and the Japanese army fighting on the southern front were divided into two. The Japanese army in the south lacked war resources and would fall into despair sooner or later.

Ma Xiuwen and Qin Dongsheng had long been displeased with the Japanese troops in front of them. They didn't have much fighting power, and they were restrained from moving.

If the Japanese cavalry and armored troops had been trapped, they would have launched a counterattack.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, in the evening, the Chinese army launched a large-scale attack on our army!"

"Report, the 1st Regiment of the 4th Brigade was attacked and lost contact."

A series of telegrams were sent to Gangcun's office. Gangcun was really anxious this time. There had been no news from the cavalry regiment and armored regiment, but his own offensive front was unsteady.

If their attacking troops retreat, the cavalry and armored regiments will really have no hope.

"Send all our reserves out to support us, and we must not let the Chinese army in the direction of Jinyang pose a threat to us."

Gangcun did not expect that Zhao Zhiguo's troops could launch a counterattack, which was simply a fantasy for him.

At this time, the assembled Japanese troops were fully mobilized.

The battle did not end with the arrival of night. Under this dark sky, soldiers were losing their lives all the time.

The Japanese cavalry and armored regiments finally cleared the mines before nightfall, but they did not dare to march quickly at night.

Moreover, the Japanese army has not slept for two days and two nights. If they continue like this, all the little devils will be exhausted to death.

When night fell, the militiamen launched another attack, for no other reason than to let the little devils rest.

What's the use of a tired army, no matter how good the equipment is?

The Japanese cavalry and armored soldiers were so exhausted that they did not dare to sleep at night, and there was not much food left. If this continued, both men and horses would soon fall.

The Japanese soldiers of the armored regiment made a crooked idea. When supplies were insufficient, the war horses were also rations!

However, the Japanese soldiers were just coveting the cavalry horses, and they still had the last of their sense.

Until daybreak, the Japanese army discovered that a large number of landmines had been deployed in the front. The two young Japanese commanders were about to collapse. They had killed more than twenty soldiers yesterday in order to clear the mines, and today there were endless mines to clear.
Chapter completed!
