Yuzaburo Matsui, the commander of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, is indeed not the two old devils of Isoya and Itagaki, but he will never dare to disobey the orders of the commander of North China.

A few days ago, the Osaka Division took the initiative to evacuate its position outside the north of Taierzhuang.

Although Matsui Yuzaburo's escape strategy was correct and avoided the 4th Division from being encircled, the Japanese commander Terauchi Shouichi was greatly annoyed by this.

Of course, Yuzaburo Matsui has a certain military talent, and the combat effectiveness of the Osaka Division is also very strong, besides, now that the war between the Japanese army and the national army is tense, Terauchi Shouichi cannot temporarily change generals.

Yuzaburo Matsui received a telegram order from the North China Command to reinforce the 9th Brigade, and he was very helpless.

Because he knew very well the military situation outside Taierzhuang, if he went to reinforce the 9th Brigade, it was very likely that most of the reinforcements sent would be eaten by the national army, or the whole army would be wiped out.

After thinking about it, Yuzaburo Matsui could not disobey military orders, and could only carry out the orders of the headquarters.

The Osaka Division was simply an unlucky back-bearer, and the infamy and bad reputation of this unit were all carried by this unit, and as a result, the most arduous combat tasks of all kinds fell on this unit.

The 4th Division of the Japanese Army is really a back-handed force that combines strength and criticism.

There is a devil command staring, Matsui Yuzaburo does not dare to grind foreign workers perfunctory this reinforcement this time.

The officers of the Osaka Division discussed for more than ten minutes, and then Yuzaburo Matsui ordered the 10th Infantry Wing to be reinforced, as well as an artillery brigade, and an armored squadron.

The devil's armored troops first drove out of Lengshuipu Town, and then, other devil combat units also came out of the town.

Yuzaburo Matsui also gave a death order to all the reinforcements, and the devil officers and soldiers must go all out in this battle, if anyone dares to fight passively, otherwise, they will all die by seppuku.

The Devil Force maneuvered quickly and rushed to the aid of the 9th Brigade at the fastest marching speed......

As soon as the devil troops left the town, the security regiment grasped the enemy's marching movements.

Li Hong and several officers of the security regiment stood on a high ground, holding binoculars high, observing the reinforcements of the 4th Division of the Devils in the distance.

The first battalion commander Hu Bald stared at the devil troops, and said with admiration: "Boss, you really guessed it, the devil Osaka division really sent reinforcements." ”

Li Hong put down the binoculars and slapped a brain scraper on the bald steel helmet.

"Damn, what do you mean to guess that the Osaka Division will be reinforced? Lao Tzu relies on his mind to analyze and judge, can he guess casually in a war? Can Lao Tzu casually joke with the lives of his brothers? ”

Li Hong hated that iron could not become steel, and continued to count the bald eggs: "You kid has been with Lao Tzu for so long, and the dung melon seeds are not enlightened at all, you are really a fool with courage and no strategy." ”

"Hahaha!!"

The other battalion commanders laughed and looked at Hu Bald with disdain.

With so many officers and soldiers around him watching Hu Bald being trained, he grabbed his head in embarrassment, and his face was as red as a monkey's ass.

Li Hong saw that the enemy's reinforcements were marching rapidly, and he also dispatched armored troops and heavy artillery units, and it seemed that the Osaka division was going to play a real game this time.

According to the style of the Osaka Division in the past, from the town to Taierzhuang, these fifty or sixty kilometers, the little devil had to march for at least one day and one night.

Li Hong retracted his gaze and ordered the officers of the battalions next to him: "Everyone immediately return to the position of command, and you have the sappers to lay some mines along the way." ”

"Yes, !! group"

The battalion commanders replied and hurriedly turned and left.

A few minutes later, more than a dozen sappers of the security regiment moved to the side of the road carrying several boxes of mines.

The sappers took out shovels and scattered around digging potholes and laying mines along the road.

Laying mines requires a certain amount of skill and requires mine-laying according to different terrains.

If you dig a pit and put a mine in it, the effect of killing the enemy will be weakened, and it will not stop the enemy convoy from moving forward.

The sappers have long been responsible for the maintenance of transport sections, and they know very well what sections of the enemy's personnel carriers and combat vehicles will travel, so they place anti-tank mines on this section.

Around some of the environments on the side of the road that are suitable for concealment, the sappers also laid a number of anti-infantry mines.

It didn't take long for the sappers of the security regiment to plant all the boxes of mines they were carrying on the side of the road.

After laying mines, the sappers simply sprinkled some dry soil on the ground mine-laying points, or made some camouflage, so that it was not easy for the enemy to find out that there were mines.

The sappers, armed with their tools, quickly returned to their positions.

The soldiers of the security regiment laid an ambush according to the terrain on both sides of the road, quietly waiting for the arrival of the devil troops......

Half an hour later.

Suddenly, the roar of motorcycles was heard not far from the highway ambush site.

"Sudden ......"

Five or six three-wheeled motorcycles, waddling in front of the road.

On the motorcycles sat devil machine gunners, and some devil soldiers observed the terrain on both sides of the road.

This motorcycle team is the reconnaissance unit of the devils. The 4th Division of the Devil is so cautious and afraid of death, and the troops in front naturally have to reconnoitre.

The route reconnaissance of the devil scout is not very detailed, and the little devil thinks that this place is close to their defense area, and there should be no ambush, so the enemy relaxes his vigilance.

At this time, several security corps observation posts near the highway heard the roaring sound of motorcycles.

The observation posts poked their heads out and watched the devil reconnaissance troops coming, Amen looked around to see the situation, and soon, the heads of the observation sentries retracted back under the hidden fortifications.

The soldiers of the security regiment did not fight the devil reconnaissance unit, they just lowered their heads and checked their weapons and ammunition to prepare for battle in advance.

The devil's reconnaissance unit swaggered across the road, and then the devil's army also followed.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

More than a dozen devil chariots drove in front with a roar, followed by a row of devil troop carriers.

Because there were devil scouts in front of them to explore the road, the devil's armored soldiers were very relieved, and the chariot group drove mightily towards the minelaying point on the road ahead.

When the chariot group and personnel carrier of the little devil entered the mine ambush site, the sappers of the security regiment immediately pulled the mine rope in their hands.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Suddenly, on the quiet highway, a violent mine explosion sounded.

The road was ablaze in an instant, and several leading tanks and armored vehicles were violently blown over by mines.

The devil chariot rolled twice on the road, the barrel of the chariot and the body of the chariot were twisted and deformed, and a lot of fuel leaked from under the car.

The destroyed devil chariot was burning with flames, black smoke slowly rising, the chariot overturned on the side of the road, and all the devil armored soldiers in the car were killed, and there were parts of the chariot everywhere.
