I am a wolf warrior

"In fact, there is another situation. Our infantry advances 500 meters, and the devils may have collapsed."

"It's about the same for four or ten minutes." Cao Sanlian said with a bitter face, "But how many shells do we have to destroy? Maybe more than a dozen tons of shells will be destroyed in one battle?"

"What are you afraid of with more than ten tons of shells?"

Wang Ye laughed and said, "A cannonball is only good if it hits a devil's head."

"Besides, guarding the devil's line of communication, are you afraid that there will be no shells?"

"I have already greeted Yoshio Shinozuka, he will replenish as many shells as your artillery regiment consumes."

"Hahaha, just blow it up, and ask Shinozuka Yoshio to give us additional shells." Cao Sanlian laughed loudly when he heard this, "You really dare to think."

"If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?"

Wang Ye smiled, and immediately straightened his face and said: "Captain Cao, do you remember what I just said?"

"Remember." Cao Sanlian nodded heavily, "Except for the initial 2-minute fixed bombardment, the rest will move forward 2 meters every 100 minutes until you call to stop!"

"Yes, that's it." Wang Ye urged again, "Don't miscalculate the time."

"Don't worry, we won't make a mistake." Cao Sanlian said seriously, "As long as the infantry advances strictly at a speed of 2 meters in 100 minutes, the shells will never fall on their heads."

Cao Sanlian still has this confidence, and the quality of the artillery regiment is really good.

Wang Ye said again: "While there is still time, you should quickly rehearse."

"Oh, yes." Cao Sanlian suddenly said, "It really should be rehearsed."

At that moment Cao Sanlian yelled again: "Guards, notify the company commanders to come to the meeting."

Wang Ye also stayed to watch the rehearsal for a while, and found that these artillerymen learned quickly.

But then again, Xu Jin's barrage is actually not a complicated tactic.

As early as World War I, the artillery of the Western powers had adopted this tactic.

Time soon came to three o'clock in the morning, Qianqian called, and the devils from the direction of Shouyang arrived.

"Captain Cao, remember, don't make any mistakes!" Wang Ye gave one last warning, then turned over and stepped on the Wolf King, heading towards the forward observation post.

……

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the 1st Army.

Shinozuka Yoshio stood in front of the big sand table with a solemn expression.

In the sound of hurried footsteps, Yasushi Inoue, the head of the communications section, walked in, paused and reported: "Your Excellency, the final detachment just sent an urgent call. They have arrived at Sangzhang and seized Sangzhang Bridge."

"Has the final detachment arrived at Sangzhang?" Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly lifted his spirits.

After this pause, Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "Did the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area pass the Sangzhang Bridge?"

"Not really." Yasushi Inoue shook his head and said, "Finally, the detachment contacted the nearby squires and the checkpoints of the Imperial Association Army, and said that there was no brigade passing the Sangzhang Bridge tonight."

"Worry!" Shinozuka Yoshio was overjoyed when he heard that.

"So, the main force of the Eighth Route Army hasn't gone south yet!"

In other words, the opening has been blocked by the final detachment.

In other words, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area did not run away.

Thinking of this, Shinozuka Yoshio clenched his fists vigorously, and finally pulled back a round.

In Yoshio Shinozuka's memory, since he got in touch with the prince through the radio station, he seemed to have been at a disadvantage in the confrontation between the two, but today, he finally regained his victory.

And this round of recovery is worth all the previous losses.

Yoshio Shinozuka really wanted to know what kind of mood the prince would be in at the moment?

Just thinking about it, Kayata Kosuke suddenly stood up again, held up the microphone and said, "Your Excellency, that guy wants to talk to you again."

"give it to me."

Yoshio Shinozuka strode over,

Then he took over the microphone and receiver from Yukio's assistant.

"Maxi Maxi, lord?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked with a smile.

"It's me." Immediately the prince's voice came from the opposite side, and he seemed a little angry, "Mr. Xiaozuka, you are playing tricks on me! You didn't even lay an ambush near Sangzhang!"

"When my scouts arrive at Sapphire Palm,"

"Your Japanese army has just arrived at Sangzhang."

"You deliberately said that an ambush had been laid in Sangzhang,"

"Just to stabilize us and buy time for your troops to rush to Sangzhang and block the passage going south, am I right? Shinozuka-kun!"

"As expected of a prince!"

"As expected of the second commander of the Eighth Route Army."

Yoshio Shinozuka applauded and laughed loudly, "You guessed it all."

"Xiaozuka-kun, this is not good." The prince said angrily, "You deceive your enemy like this, won't your conscience hurt? Oh?"

"Conscience hurts?"

Shinozuka Yoshio was stunned when he heard that.

Strange, why does it hurt to deceive the enemy's conscience?

At that moment Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "Isn't there a saying in your China that soldiers never tire of cheating, ha ha."

"Soldiers never tire of cheating? I understand!" The prince said angrily, "Mr. Xiaozuka, this time you are being cruel, but don't think that you will win by doing this, I will come back!"

"No, you have no chance."

Shinozuka Yoshio said proudly: "Now your passage to the south has been blocked by the main force of the 2nd Guards Division, and Zhao Jiayuan's retreat will soon be cut off by the imperial army coming from Shouyang and Jingxing."

"That is to say, you have been trapped on the winding mountain road in the middle."

"Next, your only choice is to abandon the heavy equipment, break it up into parts, and break through separately."

"Unfortunately, even if you split up and break through separately, I'm afraid you won't be able to break through, because I have prepared cavalry and motorized fast-moving troops for you."

"What did you say?" the prince yelled, "You still want to cut off our retreat back to the base area?"

Speaking of this meal, the prince on the other side seemed to cover the microphone, but the cover was not tight, so he could still vaguely hear the prince's loud orders on the other side.

"Pass my order!"

"New 1st Regiment and New 2nd Regiment return to aid urgently."

"Retake Zhao's homeland at all costs, go!"

Hearing the prince's loud order from the opposite side, Shinozuka Yoshio laughed more and more happily.

After a while, the prince on the opposite side seemed to have discovered the problem, and this time he finally cut off completely.

Yoshio Shinozuka also handed the receiver and microphone back to Kosuke Kayata, and then turned to Yasushi Inoue and said, "Mr. Inoue, call the 1st Core Detachment immediately, and speed up to seize Zhaojiayuan and block the gap."

Speaking of this meal, he said again: "But I still have to remind Ogasawara-kun."

"Don't be careless. In addition to guarding against the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, you must also guard against landmines."

Chapter 228

"United Captain, the 1st Army Headquarters is calling urgently!"

A communications soldier handed the telegram to Taro Ogasawara.

Ogasawara Taro is the captain of the 4th Guards Infantry Regiment, and also the leader of the 1st Core Detachment stationed in Shouyang. The composition of his troops is almost the same as that of the other two detachments in Yangquan and Jingxing. It is also an infantry brigade, 1 engineering brigade, 1 supply brigade, plus half a field artillery brigade.

Taro Ogasawara didn't reach out to pick it up, but waved his hand and said, "Nice."

"Hayi!" The communications soldier unfolded the telegram and read, "Ogasawara Detachment: Order your troops to seize Zhaojiayuan immediately and block the Eighth Route Army's route to the north. At the same time, you must beware of landmines and artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army."

"Reply to the headquarters, the telegram has been received, and our detachment is about to take back Zhaojiayuan."

After Ogasawara Taro finished speaking, he raised his binoculars to observe the enemy situation ahead.

Unfortunately, since it was nighttime, nothing could be seen in the field of vision.

Putting down the binoculars, Ogasawara Taro said again: "Order, the engineering brigade strengthened mine clearance, and cleaned both sides of the road. The Chinese Army seized a lot of 1401mm caliber high-explosive grenades from the No. 150 military column. These grenades can be converted into landmines. Even if it is buried on both sides of the road and detonated, it is enough to pose a fatal threat to the imperial army."

After a pause, he said again: "Order the infantry brigade, supply brigade, and artillery brigade to keep a distance. The search teams on both sides of the road will be doubled, and the search along the way will be strengthened. Beware of ambushes from the Eighth Route Army."

"Hayi!" Several messengers quickly separated and left.

……

About two kilometers away.

Wang Ye has returned to the forward observation post.

Because the Eighth Route Army ambushed in the dark, the devils could not see the Eighth Route Army.

But because the devils had flashlights, torches, and headlights, Wang Ye and the others could clearly see the devils marching on the road.

Seeing that the devils sent more engineers to carry out mine clearance operations on the roadside,

Moreover, the distance between the various units is also widening, Wei Dayong, Wei Xilai, Li Xia and others' faces are downcast, how did the little devil become smarter?

"Captain, the little devil has learned his lesson."

Wei Xilai said dejectedly, "I'm afraid the minefields won't survive."

While speaking, a dazzling red light suddenly shot up on the road ahead.

It was the mobile column that detonated the landmines buried in the middle of the road ahead of time, because if they didn't detonate, they would be dismantled by the devil's engineers, so it's better to detonate them in advance, killing a few devil's engineers is also very good.

In the violent explosion, several engineers were instantly blown to nothing.

A landmine modified with a 150mm caliber high-explosive grenade can tear a human body apart just by impacting it.

Those Japanese engineers who were clearing the mine just now were really blown up to the point where they couldn't even get a complete finger bone together.

However, the devil's speed was not affected.

Because soon there were several engineers holding mine detectors and ran to the front to continue mine clearance operations.

From time to time, landmines were detonated, and devils' engineers were blown up from time to time, but the advance speed of the devils was not affected at all, and they continued to advance steadily towards Zhaojiayuan.

Wei Xilai's face tensed up.

"Captain, we might be in trouble now."

Wei Dayong and Li Xia also nodded subconsciously.

The little devil is growing fast, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with him now.

"Trouble?" Wang Ye smiled and said, "Trouble is impossible, because I have already prepared a big gift for the devil."

……

"Command, stop advancing."

Taro Ogasawara put down the binoculars and gave an order.

Because there was already Zhaojiayuan stronghold not far ahead, through the binoculars, he not only saw the ruins of Zhaojiayuan stronghold, but also saw the gap dug by the Eighth Route Army in the blockade ditch.

I also saw the fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army continued to strengthen fortifications.

This is different from what the commander said. Didn't the commander say that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has already gone south in the direction of Sangzhang?Doesn't it mean that there is no Eighth Route Army in Zhaojiayuan?

Why does Zhaojiayuan still have the Eighth Route Army?

And it looks like there are a lot of them?

But Ogasawara Taro didn't care.

Even if Zhaojiayuan still has the Eighth Route Army, it doesn't matter.

He Ogasawara Taro is not the idiot that Tabe Mirasuke is.

After a little thought, Taro Ogasawara issued orders one by one: "Order, the artillery brigade will disperse and build positions on the spot, and the infantry brigade will seize all commanding heights on the south side of the road and establish firepower points."

"The engineering brigade and the supply brigade built fortifications on the spot."

Smiling slightly, he said again: "If you don't think about victory, think about defeat first, but you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles."
