"Captain, the Japs have begun to take action!" Early the next morning, Wang Ping was awakened by Li Wen's report.
After climbing to the high ground and taking the telescope handed over by Li Wen, Wang Ping saw a group of Japanese soldiers marching out of the camp.
Except for the Japs in the first group who held their rifles in their hands, all the Japs who followed had their rifles on their backs.
After a squadron of Japanese soldiers walked out of the gate of the station, ten armored vehicles puffing out black smoke appeared in Wang Ping's field of vision one after another.
More than two hundred Japanese cavalrymen, guarding both sides of the armored vehicle, left the military camp together.
Then came the Japanese infantry again, including ordinary infantry, machine gunners carrying heavy machine guns, and artillerymen carrying artillery parts. After ten minutes of walking, an infantry squadron at the rear came into Wang Ping's sight!
"The leader of the Japanese division is very cautious. A forward force actually includes infantry, cavalry, and armored troops. It can attack if it wants to attack, defend if it wants to defend, and it also has a strong assault capability. If nothing else, we can use their forward force alone.
It’s difficult to deal with!” Wang Ping analyzed with a frown.
Li Wen's face was also very ugly, but he still comforted him: "As long as we can kill the Japs Engineer Regiment, the highway that we completely destroyed will be able to delay them for several days, and I don't believe that for such a long stretch of road, the Japs have been
How can you be so vigilant!"
Soon, the main force of the Japs was dispatched.
Carts and cars loaded with various supplies... artillery pieces dragged behind truck compartments, tanks spitting black smoke, groups of infantry, cavalry running back and forth on both sides of the road... without exception told Wang Ping,
They are a very vigilant iron-blooded elite.
Lieutenant General Ito was sitting in the passenger seat of a car. Ever since he left the station, he had been lying on the seat with his eyes closed to meditate.
Now all the problems he can think of have been laid out, and his subordinates are there to carry them out. As the division commander, all he can do is wait.
At this time, he was expecting the Eighth Route Army to come and attack him, which would prove that his careful arrangement was flawless and flawless.
Suddenly, the car stopped, and the huge inertia suddenly woke up Lieutenant General Ito.
"Baga! Why did you stop...don't you know we have to travel at least 40 kilometers today?" Lieutenant General Ito yelled as soon as he opened his eyes.
The nearby security forces quickly surrounded Lieutenant General Ito's car to ensure Ito's safety, and then the chief of staff rushed over with a telegram.
"The division commander, forward Lieutenant Colonel Yoshida, reported that the road in front was completely destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, and the troops cannot continue to move forward. They need to be repaired by the engineering unit before they can continue to move forward!"
"It must have been done by the Eighth Route Army. They didn't dare to sneak attack on us, so they could only prevent us from attacking Linfen City by destroying the highway!" Lieutenant General Ito made a judgment with a look of ridicule.
"A small trick..." After hearing these words, the chief of staff understood that the division commander must have a solution to this problem.
He has been getting along with the division commander for more than a day or two, and he knows the personality of the division commander very well. As a young lieutenant general, Ito is very arrogant, but he is also very capable, otherwise he would not be able to become the division commander of the main division.
.
Thinking and planning in advance before doing anything is a very important factor in Lieutenant General Ito's promotion so quickly.
His eyes lit up, and he stared at Lieutenant General Ito and asked: "Division Commander, you already have a solution to the problem!"
"Of course..." Lieutenant General Ito answered very arrogantly, as if he had everything under control.
"Every time the Eighth Route Army sneaks up on us, the tactics they use are nothing more than cold shots, laying landmines, and destroying roads... I have already thought of ways to solve these trivial tricks!"
"Order the Engineer Regiment to send all the engineering equipment it carries to the forward troops to repair the road... It will probably take several days to destroy a section of the road manually on Tubal Road, but in the face of the Engineer Regiment equipped with modern engineering equipment, it may not be necessary
It can all be fixed in an hour!”
"Rumble..."
Soon, the deafening sound of the motor sounded on the highway.
Three shovels, escorted by hundreds of engineers, quickly rushed to the road where the forward troops were located.
The shovel shoveled the soil in front to fill the big hole dug by the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese engineers followed closely to check for leaks and fill the gaps. The shovel behind followed with crawlers to crush and compact the road surface to ensure that the large trucks and cars behind it were safe.
Smooth passage!
"Captain, this is..." Li Wen opened his mouth and asked in disbelief when he saw that the Japanese Engineer Regiment had repaired a nearly 100-meter-long road in less than ten minutes.
"A shovel, a construction vehicle specially used for road construction!" Wang Ping replied calmly.
Li Wen was stunned for a moment and exclaimed: "This shovel is building roads too fast!"
"At this speed of road construction, even if we completely destroy the road, it will delay them for at most two or three hours a day. As long as they rush on their way at night, they can get back in two or three hours!"
Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Captain, we must find a way to destroy these three shovels, so that the Japanese engineers can rely on manpower to repair the road, so that we can delay them for a few days!"
Wang Ping replied solemnly: "We really want to destroy these three shovels..."
"As long as these three shovels exist, the roads we have worked so hard to destroy will be useless!"
Li Wen immediately asked: "Commander, how to fight, you give the order!"
"Wait!" Wang Ping was also very anxious. However, a large group of Japs gathered around the Japs Engineer Regiment, and they also strengthened the cavalry and armored troops. Even with the few troops on hand, even if they were all used up, they would not be able to overcome the interception of these Japs.
In the end, he could only show a helpless expression, shake his head, and grit his teeth to answer.
Li Wen was very anxious and subconsciously asked: "We have to wait. If these three shovels cannot be destroyed immediately, the efforts of Captain Yang and the others yesterday will be in vain. The little devil can march at least thirty kilometers or even forty kilometers today."
It’s possible!”
"Wait..." Wang Ping didn't say anything extra and continued to answer through gritted teeth.
Immediately afterwards, he ordered: "Deploy people to closely monitor every move of the little devil on the road, and report any situation immediately!"
"Also, contact Company Commander Yang and continue to destroy the road. If we don't have enough troops, we can pay the people to help, but it must be done at night. The Japs' plane is coming. If they see some of us destroying the road, they will definitely use bombs directly.
Attack!"
Seeing what Li Wen wanted to say, Wang Ping explained: "The Japs are too vigilant. It is impossible to destroy these three shovels now. The only way is to wait until the Japs relax their vigilance and expose the loopholes."
Think of a way to act after you are in front of us!"
"Then what if the little devil has always been so vigilant?" Li Wen asked.
"Then we will create our own opportunities, but the price we have to pay will be higher. If we can avoid it, avoid it! The last time is set for tonight, before dark. If there is no fighter plane yet, then we will take the initiative to create one!"
