Chapter seven hundred and eighty third joint operations
"Boom..."
The marching convoy walked forward less than ten kilometers and stopped in a violent explosion.
The chief of staff frowned and jumped out of the co-pilot of the military vehicle. As soon as he was about to speak, a series of more violent explosions came over, deafening.
It lasted for half a minute before the explosion stopped intermittently.
A lieutenant with a military uniform with a sleeve stained with blood rushed over, and reported with a panting face, "Sir, landmines, we have encountered the landmines of the Eighth Route Army's electric detonation!"
"A military vehicle full of shells was blown up, and then the shells on the car were detonated. There were too many shells on the car and it was blown up everywhere. There were four military vehicles in front and behind, and they were not spared. They were bombed by shells that were exploding. The surrounding imperial army was also blown up, almost dead!"
"Nani?" He lost five military vehicles and all the equipment and ammunition on them at once. Hearing this, the Chief of Staff was anxious. Without saying a word, he raised his leg and rushed forward.
Soon, a scene that was both tragic and bloody appeared in front of the Chief of Staff.
Five military vehicles were either overturned or burned with raging fires. There were craters of shells everywhere on the roads in front and behind the military vehicles. You can tell at a glance that the Eighth Route Army's overturned military vehicles were loaded with mountain cannon shells.
That's not all. On this nearly 100-meter-long highway, no less than a hundred imperial army corpses fell down scattered. Everyone was covered in blood and blood. Many people were directly blown to pieces, and even a complete body could not be pieced together!
"Bageya Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army, I want to kill them all!"
The captain of the cavalry brigade next to him immediately said, "Sir, I will send someone to fight back immediately, find and kill them!"
The Chief of Staff, who was full of anger, unexpectedly did not agree impulsively, but calmed down quickly and shook his head to answer.
"Calm down, don't be impulsive. This must be the conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army!"
Then he stared at the cavalry captain and asked, "Have the troops you sent out just now come back!"
"Not yet?" the captain shook his head and replied, because it was the first time he fought with the new group, and he did not realize something was wrong.
The Chief of Staff's brow frowned suddenly, and then replied in a heavy tone: "Baga! I haven't come back yet, something must have happened!"
"Even if the two troops are one mile apart, with the cavalry level, they can catch up with the Eighth Route Army in at most five minutes and then attack directly. How long has it been gone? There is no news yet. If you are not a business accident, why are there any reasons!"
The captain's arrogant face turned pale just now.
The entire cavalry brigade had a total of more than 300 people, and the loss of two teams directly accounted for one-sixth of the total force.
More importantly, if the Eighth Route Army that sneaked into attacking him could eat his two cavalry teams in such a short time, even if he sent a cavalry squadron to go there, it would be very dangerous and useless.
However, judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible to send a cavalry squadron out in the absence of unknown enemy situation.
After hesitating for a moment, he stared at the Chief of Staff and asked, "Sir, what should we do next!"
"Caval brigade, strengthen the vigilance. From now on, search for a range of 100 meters along both sides of the highway, and try not to give the Eighth Route Army the chance to attack us!"
"The mixed brigade draws an infantry squadron to cooperate. If the Eighth Route Army encounters a sneak attack, infantry covers and cavalry counterattacks, kill them with lightning speed, but the cavalry cannot go deep into the pursuit of them alone!"
"Engineering Squadron and Bailout Brigade, immediately build the road. We will continue to move forward after half an hour and return to Linfen City as soon as possible!"
"As long as we have this batch of equipment and ammunition, it won't take long to go, the brigade will be fully reorganized, and even an additional infantry brigade will be added than before. In addition to the reinforcements sent by the headquarters, we will definitely be able to slaughter the Eighth Route Army base and eliminate all Eighth Route Army!"
The Chief of Staff was full of anger and had no place to vent, but he was not impulsive and was still calm, knowing what is the most important thing he is now.
I walked all the way, and I could walk four times, which I could walk in two hours.
More importantly, the Japanese lost the equipment and ammunition of sixteen military vehicles, and also lost a cavalry squadron and half of the infantry squadron.
Of course, the guard company also suffered heavy losses under the joint counterattack of the Japanese cavalry and infantry.
An infantry platoon was destroyed during the sneak attack and was killed by the Japanese cavalry with sabres.
Another infantry platoon responded faster, but also suffered heavy losses.
"Your Excellency General, I have let you down, please give up your trust!" As soon as I saw Major General Matsumoto, the Chief of Staff lowered his head and replied.
Matsumoto was not angry, but was happy to answer: "I already know the whole battle process, Chief of Staff, you did a good job!"
"In addition, I have ordered all garrisons along the highway to strengthen their vigilance and defense. As long as there is a sneak attack on your Eighth Route Army, counterattack and kill them immediately!"
The Chief of Staff looked much better, but soon showed a hint of helplessness.
"Thank you for your trust in the General. However, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and there are not many people in them, and now it's almost black. You will definitely not be able to catch them!"
Matsumoto's face became darker.
But it didn't take long to recover from its sanity, staring at the chief of staff and answered confidently: "No need to be honest. With the equipment and ammunition you just transported back, even if the cunning Eighth Route Army runs away now, in the end, it will not be able to escape the revenge of the Imperial Army on them!"
"I looked at the list of remaining weapons and ammunition. The main losses are ammunition, and the weapons losses are not very serious. Moreover, our brigade originally had some weapons in stock!"
"With these equipment, we can not only make all the garrisons full, but also ensure that five infantry brigades full!"
"In addition to the infantry corps that the headquarters is about to send, our special brigade will definitely wipe out the Eighth Route Army in Linfen!"
The heavy losses of the guard company in the command center of the new first regiment in Sanquan Town were not beyond Wang Ping's expectations.
After all, this time the Japanese were fighting in a joint battle, not only infantry, but also cavalry and armored soldiers.
It was the first time I had come to the New First Regiment that I encountered such a Japanese devil for the first time. If it weren't for the opposition between the political commissar and the chief of staff, Wang Ping would have gone there and fought with them in person.
Now it seems that the strong combat power possessed by the joint combat between various Japanese troops is indeed not something that can be compared by a simple infantry.
The Guard Company is the new first regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness in addition to the direct team and the reconnaissance platoon. It is well-equipped and only has sneak attacks. It loses so many people in just four. Wang Ping could not imagine whether the base area could withstand if the Japanese gathered heavy troops and sent such joint troops to attack the base area.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Ping only thought of one solution, that is, to fight tooth for tooth!
The Japanese had cavalry and formed cavalry themselves.
Thinking of the more than 30 intact war horses and all the equipment of the two Japanese cavalry teams brought back by Hong Ruijun, Wang Ping became even more determined to form a cavalry.
