"We have an engineer platoon, but we are not equipped with mine detectors. Manual mine detection is too slow. Although the section of road controlled by the Japanese is only 100 meters long, it still takes an hour or two, and we don't have that much time at all.
?" Rong Jun frowned and analyzed to himself.
"If there are mules and horses, we can use the mules and horses to open the way for us and detonate the mines planted by the Japanese on the road!" The deputy battalion commander next to him proposed a solution that was not a solution.
Rong Jun frowned and said nothing. After hesitating for a minute, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Just use the car to open the way..."
"Two cars were vacated, the car in front was in neutral, the car behind was pushing the car in front, and a safe passage was quickly cleared..."
The instructor's eyes lit up and he replied: "This is a good idea... Just losing one car detonated all the landmines planted by the Japanese on the road!"
The key to whether the former enemy headquarters where Wang Ping is located can make the Japanese give up their search for him and think that they have successfully broken through lies with Rong Jun and Zhang Qingyun.
Therefore, Wang Ping, who was guarding the tent, did not take a break and stayed beside the two radio stations.
Even the table covered with maps was moved to the side of the two radio stations. While waiting for news, Wang Ping stared at the map and thought about the next movement of the troops!
"Commander, battalion commander Rong's telegram!" Suddenly, a radio operator put down his earphones and reported.
"Fujino's response was too fast!" Fujino said with a frown as he quickly read the telegram.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong, who rushed over after hearing the news, asked.
"The Japs at Songshan Pass abandoned their positions and ran away, and they also planted many landmines on the highway. However, the Rongjun has already thought of a way to deal with those landmines!" Wang Ping replied.
"Is this a good thing?" Zhong Chenggong asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"A good thing is a good thing, but it's a bit disappointing to see the fat in your mouth fly away like this!" Wang Ping replied.
Then his brows furrowed into a big "Sichuan" sign: "Also, from this retreat, we can also see that the division commander the Japanese just took office is more difficult to deal with than we thought. He can command operations with a clear head and be prepared for danger.
Stop losses in time instead of fighting head-on... These are all qualities that a good commander should have!"
"Send a telegram to Zhang Qingyun and ask him to take out at least fifty of the more than one hundred large vehicles that he has taken over, let the Japanese intelligence personnel find them, and give them to the Japanese aviation force to bomb. Let Fujino further confirm that we have really broken through.
!”
Zhong Chenggong reacted quickly: "Captain, you are saying that the commander of the Little Japanese Division will send out planes to bomb our breakout troops at dawn!"
"That's for sure. After suffering such a big loss, it's impossible to watch us go back unscathed!"
"Also, the little devils laying landmines on the road is the best proof: using landmines to slow down our breakout. If it weren't for the Rong Army who thought of a way to deal with these landmines, they would have been delayed for at least two hours. After dawn, they would still be able to break through.
On the road next to the base area, aren't we waiting for the Japanese planes to come over and bomb us?"
After dawn the next day, Lieutenant General Fujino in Linfen City received the news.
"Division commander, aviation report: They successfully destroyed an Eighth Route Army convoy, a convoy of cars, with more than fifty vehicles..." the chief of staff found Lieutenant General Fujino and reported with excitement.
"The Eighth Route Army must have hijacked our convoy!" Fujino replied with a smile on his face.
"It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to have such a large convoy of vehicles. We order the aviation and ground reconnaissance forces to cooperate closely and strive for several more bombings like this!"
After the deputy chief of staff next to him went to give the order, the chief of staff directly complimented: "Division Commander, we can judge from this bombing that the Eighth Route Army in our encirclement has indeed broken through and returned to their base!"
"Should we order the Eighth and Twelfth Brigades to retreat now? Although they are not facing off against the main force of the New Regiment, there are still many Eighth Route Army guerrillas operating within their jurisdiction. If they are not stationed for a long time, problems may arise.
!”
"You can go back!" Lieutenant General Fujino was completely relieved and ordered without hesitation.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong rushed into the tent where Wang Ping was resting in excitement.
Wang Ping, who had a keen sense of smell, sat up from the camp bed before Zhong Chenggong could speak.
"Captain, good news..."
"You guessed everything correctly. The Japanese army has indeed ended its encirclement and raids against us today!"
"The Japs from the two brigades began to retreat at 11 o'clock in the morning. The reconnaissance company has been following them. They will report back after confirming their departure!"
"A squadron of Japs, under the cover of aviation, reoccupied the Songshankou stronghold that we had blown into ruins!"
"The other brigade that came over yesterday did not leave. It used infantry squadrons as units to station in these four places along the highway. There is no doubt that the Japanese plan to let this brigade strengthen the defense force in this area, fearing that we will rob their army again.
List!"
After saying that, Zhong Chenggong looked at Wang Ping, trying to see some reaction on Wang Ping's face.
Zhong Chenggong was disappointed. Looking at the map he brought over, the expression on his face did not change at all.
After a few seconds, I couldn't help but ask: "Captain, do we want to take action tonight!"
"We must take action tonight!" Wang Ping finally spoke and answered with certainty.
"Before the little devils react, catch them off guard and try to kill an infantry brigade of them!"
"In this case, even if the Japanese transfer back the two brigades they just transferred back, we don't have to worry too much!"
After saying that, Wang Ping's face showed a serious expression before the battle: "It is now 3:30 in the afternoon, we will start taking action at 8 o'clock in the evening..."
"The four reinforced squadrons deployed by the Japanese army along the highway must all be temporary stations. They have only built simple fortifications and no strongholds! The cavalry battalion will deal with them and rely on its powerful assault capabilities to quickly kill them!"
"The Fourth Battalion of the Invalid Army is still responsible for the little Japs at Songshan Pass... If possible, we can set up a encirclement point for the Japs to provide reinforcements!"
"No matter how he fights, I have only one purpose, and that is to kill as many Japanese as possible and reduce our pressure in the next battle!"
"We are divided into two. The chief of staff and I will lead separate teams to surround the Imperial Alliance Army stationed at these two points!"
"Request the cooperation of the internal agents who are lurking in the Imperial Association Army. First kill the little Japs placed in the Imperial Association Army, then surround them and disarm them!"
"If the two regiments of the Imperial Alliance Army are fully mobilized, we can get two battalions of new soldiers!"
"The other two action teams must also take action for me!"
"As far as I know, in order to win over the people and control the base area with their soft policies, the Japanese have recruited many traitors to work for them."
"These traitors are all people with money, power, and guns. The two action teams have been lurking here for so long, so they must know who are the real traitors."
"We want to establish a base here, and these traitor lackeys must be completely eliminated, otherwise they will become a hidden danger to our base."
"So, after dark, the two action teams started taking action to target the real traitors in the surrounding area!"
"Tell them that they will return to the army in five days at most. How many troops they can pull out before they return to the army will mean what level of cadres they can serve after they return to the army."
Lieutenant General Fujino was in a very good mood today, although he failed to stop the new group and kill them.
But the aviation force did not disappoint them. After a day of searching and bombing, a total of two convoys of the New Regiment and three places where food was hidden were destroyed!
Even if all the stolen food was not destroyed, more than half of it was destroyed.
They never expected that except for the fifty cars blown up in the first round of air raids, which were real, the remaining four rounds of bombings were all fake targets prepared by Zhang Qingyun!
