The lieutenant did not speak with a calm face, but his mind was not idle.

After saying the word division of troops, the first thing that came to mind was the repeated confession of Watanabe Shaosa, the captain of the brigade before the troops, at the military meeting!

"After entering the base area of the independent battalion, all the attacking troops must concentrate on their actions, and they must not divide their troops, so as to give the independent battalion a chance to break us."

There is no doubt that the proposal of the engineer squad leader in front of him seriously defies the orders of the brigade leader.

However, the lieutenant could not refuse.

If you don't support the proposal of the engineer squad leader, the troops will definitely march more slowly!

Watanabe, who was already dissatisfied with the speed of the march, would definitely be even more dissatisfied, and maybe it would be possible to vent his anger directly at that time.

However, supporting the division of troops also means disobeying military orders.

After the division of troops, it is good that the troops do not have an accident, but once an accident occurs, all the responsibility will be pushed on themselves, and they will have to bear the charge of disobeying military orders!

After hesitating for a long time, the lieutenant did not make a decision.

Then he replied helplessly: "This matter is too big, the captain must make a decision himself, I will go to the captain now!" ”

In the wheeled armored car in which Watanabe Shaosa was riding, the atmosphere was unusually solemn.

Watanabe kept his face calm and stared at the map in front of him without saying a word.

The lieutenant stood in the doorway, head bowed, again without saying a word.

The difference is that his silence is more of fear and fear, and he is deeply afraid that Watanabe will see him as a target to vent his anger.

It took a long time for Watanabe to speak: "The soldiers are fast! ”

"The forward troops will divide their troops to protect them in accordance with the suggestions of the engineer squad, and they must be killed in the shortest possible time to the base area of the independent battalion!"

The lieutenant hesitated for a moment and reminded: "But sir, in this way, the troops that will go out before the division will definitely be attacked by the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"No matter how much we divide our troops, we will still be attacked by the Eighth Route Army!" Watanabe retorted angrily.

"When the mine exploded just now, every explosion sounded, and several imperial soldiers were killed in the middle of the team."

"Because of the sound of mine explosions, we don't know where the enemy is hiding, so we can only be beaten passively."

"I don't want to see the Imperial Army being killed for no apparent reason, and I don't even know where the opponent is hiding!"

"As long as there are no more mines exploding on the road, the Eighth Route Army that sneaked up on us will have nowhere to hide, and with our strength and firepower, even if we can't kill them, there will be no problem with heavy damage!"

The lieutenant completely understood that Watanabe wanted to use the forward troops as bait to lure out the Eighth Route Army hiding around, and then counterattack to kill the opponent.

The lieutenant did not want to let the forward troops be used as bait and watched his men being killed.

But Watanabe's order must be carried out, and he replied stubbornly: "Don't worry, sir, I will arrange it now!" ”

In the woods on both sides of the highway, every move of the Japanese puppet army was watched by Xiao Yuan and Chen Wei.

"Oops, the devil has switched to using a mine detector to detect mines, no accident, the mines buried in front of us are all useless!" Xiao Yuan judged with a calm face.

Chen Wei's brows also furrowed: "Without the cover of mine explosions, our snipers will not be able to cover up the sound of gunfire, and they will not have any scruples to sneak attack devils like just now!" ”

Xiao Yuan was not angry, frowned and thought about it for less than half a minute before making a decision!

"If the little devil doesn't give us a chance, then we will create our own chance!"

"Lao Chen, I suggest that we divide our troops immediately!"

"The snipers of the reconnaissance platoon, you leave them for me, and you take the others to the front to clean up the forward troops of the Japanese puppet army!"

"Divide the troops under our noses, move more than 100 meters away from the main force, this is fat meat sent to the mouth, don't eat it for nothing!"

"The three sniper teams of the commando team and the reconnaissance platoon followed me, and continued to sneak attack the main force of the Japanese puppet army under the cover of explosions!"

"The mines are scrapped, and we still have mortars."

"The explosion of the shells is even more violent, not only can you cover the sniper's shooting, but you can also kill devils yourself, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Da Da Da ......"

A string of machine-gun fire rang out in the woods two hundred meters away from the road.

Three machine guns fired at the same time, and bullets rained down on the road.

The forward units of the Japanese puppet army, which protected more than a dozen engineers, bore the brunt of the attack, killing and wounding five or six people in an instant.

"Fight back!"

The lieutenant half-crouched on the ground, raised his command knife and shouted.

The three light machine guns that had been standing by quickly opened fire, but the firing distance was too far, and although the devil machine gunners were elite, it was difficult to hit the target in a hurry.

And just as they shot back, the gunfire in the forest stopped.

The three crooked handles are getting more and more accurate, but they lose the meaning of counterattacking.

"The eight roads that attacked us have run, everyone gets up, strengthens vigilance, and continues to clear mines forward!" The lieutenant commanded with rage.

In the blink of an eye, he suffered five or six casualties, and his opponent probably suffered no casualties.

In the face of this result, no commander will be in a good mood!

In the armored command vehicle in the middle of the ranks, the adjutant was reporting on the attack on the forward troops.

"Sir, the eight routes that attacked the forward troops have been repulsed~ The Imperial Army has two dead and two wounded, and the Imperial Allied Army has one dead and two wounded, with a total of seven casualties!"

"They were worried that there would be traps in the forest, so they didn't send people into the forest, so I don't know if the counterattack just now killed the opponent!"

Watanabe replied with a calm face: "You don't need to look at it, there will definitely be no results!" ”

"Even if there were, they were nothing compared to our casualties!"

After a moment's hesitation, he made a decision: "No, the counterattack firepower of the forward troops is still too weak!" ”

"The surrounding forests are so big, the enemy can retreat everywhere, and that little counterattack fire can't threaten them at all!"

"Another infantry squad, a heavy machine gun squad, and a mortar squad will be drawn to reinforce the forward troops!"

"Once you confirm the hiding location of the sneak attacker, immediately cover all areas within thirty meters of the surrounding area with firepower!"

"No matter how fast the eight-way retreat and transfer, it is impossible to be faster than the speed of the bullet!"

"As long as our firepower is fierce enough, the blind cat can hit and kill the rats and hurt them hard!"

"Only by making those sneak attackers pay the price, will they have scruples and dare not continue to attack us so recklessly!"

"Boom ......"

As soon as the adjutant walked on his front foot, an explosion sounded on the road not far away.

Watanabe's face as soon as he calmed down turned angry again.

"Bage Yalu, don't the sappers guarantee that manual demining is foolproof and there will be no accidents? Why are there explosions! ”

"Sir, it wasn't a mine that exploded just now, it was a shell!" A second lieutenant rushed over to report.

"Sir, we have three more machine gunners and a lieutenant sniped by the enemy!" Another second lieutenant rushed after him.

"Or shoot with the explosion, we don't even have a chance to tell where the gunshots are sounding!"

Watanabe's solemn face quickly flashed with worry.

Create explosions by shelling, provide cover for riflemen to shoot, and snipe them.

As long as the Eighth Route Army hiding around had a sufficient number of shells, they could use this method to sneak attack themselves all the time.

The only solution is to speed up the march, find the main force of the independent battalion as soon as possible, and fight the independent battalion in a decisive battle!
