"Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops on the highway seem to have stopped and are still setting up artillery!" Xiong Changhe suddenly reminded.
Wang Ping also saw it and frowned, wondering what trick the Japanese were playing.
When he saw that the muzzle of the mortar was pointed at him, he suddenly reacted: "Contact the security company commander Lian Hong, and immediately detonate the third surprise we have prepared for the Japanese. Hurry!"
The chief of staff frowned and reminded: "But, commander, the Japanese haven't completely entered the explosion zone yet?"
"The Japanese have discovered us. If we don't fire, our new regiment headquarters will be taken away!" Wang Ping shouted anxiously.
Zhong Chenggong became anxious and immediately shouted: "The headquarters must not be taken away by the Japanese again. I will give the order immediately!"
A few months ago, the New Regiment suffered a devastating blow because its headquarters was taken away by the Japanese. Now that it has finally recovered its strength, it must not repeat the same mistake.
On the highway, the captain held up his binoculars and stared motionlessly at the high ground a few hundred meters away.
Even though it would take less than a minute for this high ground to suffer a devastating blow from his mortar squadron, the captain still couldn't be happy.
I have fought against the New Regiment several times. Based on my understanding, the commander of the New Regiment will never show up here for no reason. There must be some purpose for coming here.
And this purpose, as long as nothing unexpected happens, must be related to how to eliminate oneself and consume the troops under his command.
Staring at the high ground and frowning, he thought for a long time without even thinking about what this purpose might be.
Because the surroundings were too quiet, the forward troops had no evidence to support their guesses and inferences.
In the end, the captain who couldn't think of the reason could only shake his head and said to himself with a look of helplessness: "Never mind, let's kill their commander first."
"Without the commander, no matter what the conspiracy is, it will be completely exposed!"
Then he asked the adjutant beside him: "The cannon hasn't been set up yet? Why is it so slow? If we don't fire the cannon, the enemies on the high ground will run away!"
"It'll be ready soon, sir!" the mortar squadron leader replied quickly.
Then he ordered: "Fire the No. 1 cannon, make sure to shoot Zhu Yuan!"
"Boom...boom..." The shell hit and exploded fifty or sixty meters away from the high ground.
The captain shouted with dissatisfaction: "Baga, you missed the target, fire again, blow up the mountain top for me in the shortest possible time, I want to kill all the Eighth Route Army commanders on the high ground, fire right away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the captain saw the Eighth Route Army gathered on the high ground begin to move, and then hurriedly ordered.
"Fire immediately, the Eighth Route Army commander is running away!"
"Boom..." As soon as he finished speaking, the explosion sound reached his ears, deafening.
"No, this is not the sound of shelling, it is an explosion!" the captain responded quickly.
Then I saw an explosion not far away on a section of the road more than 100 meters long.
Amid the violent explosions, thick smoke, fire, and flying dust quickly enveloped the highway.
In the blink of an eye, the road disappeared from his eyes, along with the imperial and puppet troops walking on this stretch of road.
The artillery squadron was not spared. For convenience, all artillery was set up on the road, and most of them were in the explosion zone.
In the violent explosion, the entire mortar squadron, except for the squadron leader who was following the battalion leader, no one else was spared, and they were all covered.
The captain of the mortar squadron was familiar with the sounds of various explosions. The heavy losses of his men made his face turn pale, and then he shouted loudly: "Baga, it's explosives. The Eighth Route Army has buried explosives on the road, and they are still in strings."
of dynamite!”
"Sir, get off the road immediately!" The guard captain was frightened, and he led the captain to the wasteland next to the road. No one could guarantee whether the road under his feet was also buried with explosives.
The guard company that arranged the explosion zone even wanted to bury the entire highway with explosives and then kill the Japanese who attacked them.
However, the explosives they had were limited, and the wires to detonate the explosives were insufficient. They had to use up all the materials to complete this section of the more than 100-meter-long road.
"The Japanese and puppet troops in the explosion area are definitely finished. The guard company has used all the more than 500 kilograms of explosives we captured, and also buried a lot of small stones on top of the explosives. They will definitely be able to wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops on the highway!"
Zhong Chenggong shouted excitedly when he saw Wang Ping.
Xiong Changhe was frightened again. This time, he was so shocked that he had nothing to say.
Hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops, coupled with a series of explosions, disappeared into thin air.
As expected, there were no casualties in the guard company that had created this surprise for the Japanese.
Wang Ping's face was still as serious as ever.
After the detonation was successful, the smile only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing.
Because there are still a large number of Japanese and puppet troops standing in front and behind the explosion area. As long as they do not die, the crisis of the new regiment will not be resolved.
He frowned and began to give orders: "The Japanese haven't retreated yet, don't be too happy too early!"
"The troops will assemble immediately and prepare to face the main force of the Japanese!"
"The Japs' plane has arrived. Notify the troops and stay hidden. Don't just dig out a piece of meat from the Japs and then have them bite back a piece of meat right after!"
"Da da da... bang bang bang..." Suddenly, there was a faint sound of gunshots five or six kilometers away.
Wang Ping was the first to react: "Don't be nervous, it's Battalion Commander Yang. They must have attacked the lightly or seriously injured soldiers left behind by the Japanese!"
The Japanese captain standing next to the road no longer had the calmness he had a few minutes ago on his face.
Although he knew that as a commander he had to remain calm at all times, the various levels of attack methods of the New Regiment made him involuntarily feel fear, and he could not suppress this fear, and it surfaced directly.
onto the face.
He was afraid.
At this moment, Yang Huping added fuel to the fire and launched an attack on the wounded and convoys he had left behind.
"The wounded are gone!" The sound of gunshots came, and without much thought, the captain uttered these two words.
Then he stared at the deputy captain and asked what he was most concerned about: "Have the casualties been counted? How many troops do we have that can continue to fight? I only want the number of the imperial army."
The vice-captain had a painful expression on his face.
Then he bit the bullet and reported: "The Imperial Army lost 157 people, and the Imperial Association Army lost 128 people! Almost all of them died in battle!"
The captain stared at a pair of red eyes and asked: "In other words, our reinforced infantry brigade has less than 300 people left without even seeing the main force of the new regiment, and half of them are our technical troops!
"
"Hey, the combat force is reduced to less than one infantry squadron!"
"Why is this happening? Can anyone tell me what the reason is? We have been careful enough according to the orders along the way, why does this happen again!" The captain roared and asked the question he had been wanting to ask along the way.
.
The deputy captain wanted to answer that the Eighth Route Army was too cunning, but he swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips.
Throughout Linfen, not only his brigade was fighting against the Eighth Route Army. If the Eighth Route Army was too cunning, wouldn't other Eighth Route Army troops be cunning? This reason is obviously a bit far-fetched!
