Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 358 Paratroopers!

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Countless landmines buried under the mountain where the Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located on the road and on both sides of the road are the areas that the devils must pass through when attacking. Detonate immediately after the fuse.

Under the rumbling explosion, the more than 500 devils in the two squadrons didn't even have time to react, and they were all blown up in half a minute.

Then what fell was countless stumps and broken arms.

In such a short period of time, the two squadron devils who stepped into the minefield under the mountain made earth planes and were all killed.

At this scene, Takeshita Taro and Major General Yagi Yusuke, the commander of the Devil's 16th Brigade, were dumbfounded.

"Bageya Road, what's going on?"

Major General Yagi Yusuke, head of the 16th Brigade, rubbed his eyes and roared in disbelief.

"Brigade commander, within 200 meters from the ground below the mountain, the enemy has set up minefields."

Takada Daisuke, the Chief of Staff of the 16th Brigade of Devils who recovered quickly, said with a changed face, and then pointed to the quiet blast area with his finger.

"Damn it, Xu Rui and Li Yunlong are really cunning!"

Yagi Yusuke also came back to his senses at this time, and Yagi Yusuke, who has rich battlefield experience, immediately guessed: "Judging from the sound of the explosion, the mines buried under the ground in the minefield use the Imperial Army's 75mm caliber, 70mm caliber Landmines converted from artillery shells."

"Moreover, the number is quite large. It is possible to detonate and annihilate two squadrons of the imperial army in an instant."

Chief of Staff of the 16th Brigade Daisuke Takada nodded with a gloomy expression, and said, "The brigade chief is right."

"Moreover, the modified artillery shells needed for these mines are likely to be seized and used by the enemy army from the imperial army's arsenal in the town after they occupied Zhenting City."

Yagi Yusuke nodded, but said with gloomy eyes: "Takata-kun is right.".

At this moment, a ghost soldier rushed over, "Commander Yagi Brigade, Your Excellency, General, please!"

"understood!"

Yagi Yusuke waved his hand at the devil soldiers who were rushing to deliver orders, and said.

"Yes, Head of the Yagi Brigade!"

The ghost soldier who delivered the order turned his head and walked away.

Yagi Yusuke said to Chief of Staff Takada Daisuke: "Takata-kun, order all the brigade departments not to attack without my order.".

"The enemy army is not easy to fight!"

"You look at the troops for the time being!"

Daisuke Takada nodded and said, "Yes, brigade commander!".

Yagi Yusuke nodded, then turned and walked back with a serious expression.

Soon, he rushed to Takeshita Taro's temporary headquarters.

Takeshita Taro's temporary headquarters is behind a small mountain on the left side of the road. Such a headquarters will not encounter long-range artillery fire from the defenders on the hill where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located.

Takeshita Taro, not a fool, placed the headquarters under the artillery fire of Xu Rui and Li Yunlong.

At this time, Yagi Yusuke had rushed to Takeshita Taro's temporary headquarters.

"Your Excellency General!"

After arriving in front of Takeshita Taro, Yagi Yusuke stood at attention and saluted.

"Yagi-kun, the two squadrons have been wiped out?"

Of course, Takeshita Taro also saw the explosion for a moment. The minefield set up by the enemy was very large, and it would be no problem to blow up another squadron.

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

Yagi Yusuke nodded and said bitterly: "Within a range of more than 200 meters from the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located, the enemy's artillery shells modified mines were buried under the ground, and the mines were thick.".

"Our previous artillery fire covered the bombardment and did not detonate the modified mines planted by the enemy. Therefore."

In the end, Yusuke Yagi didn't continue talking, but Taro Takeshita also nodded to show that he understood.

"Xu Rui and Li Yunlong deserve to be the formidable enemy commanders that the imperial army has encountered."

Takeshita Taro said solemnly: "The two squadrons who tried to attack couldn't even touch a defensive position on the enemy's mountain, so they were reimbursed first by the minefield at the foot of the mountain.".

"It seems that we may have to make other plans!"

Hearing this, Yusuke Yagi asked doubtfully, "What do you mean, General?".

"During our southward march, the enemy army has seized the favorable terrain on the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located, and built a solid defensive position on the mountain. The enemy army is condescending and defending with the help of the steep mountain. Under our strong attack, There were too many casualties."

Takeshita Taro pointed to the defensive positions on the two mountains, and then said to Yagi Yusuke: "How many warriors of the imperial army will we have to die if we want to take down the two mountains?".

"At least ten thousand!"

Yagi Yusuke gave his estimated number of casualties in his mind.

"That's right, at least [-] casualties!"

Takeshita Taro also agreed with Yagi Yusuke's estimate of casualties, and said with a solemn expression: "And we are now heading south with [-] people. If we break through the two mountains where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located, we will suffer [-] casualties."

"When the time comes to reach Zhenting City, there will be only [-] troops left, or even less than [-] troops."

Takeshita Taro paused for a moment, and then continued, "Under such a situation of ebb and flow, we may lose our military advantage in the future."

"Then what does your Excellency General mean?"

Hearing this, Yagi Yusuke still didn't know what Takeshita Taro meant, so he could only ask.

"You can't attack the mountains by force, think of other ways to reduce casualties."

Takeshita Taro said to Yagi Yusuke.

Yagi Yusuke was really helpless when he heard the words.

Leading to Zhenting City, this is also a must pass.

Moreover, there is an old river slope one kilometer behind. After the enemy failed to block it here, they continued to retreat to the old river slope to block it.

When they hit Zhenting City, the casualties must exceed [-].

In order to reduce casualties and losses, the only way to resort to the old style of the imperial army is to attack in a roundabout way.

It's just that the attack from the flank was not only a booby trap planted in the deep mountains and old forests on both sides of the road two or three kilometers north of the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located.

Once they divide their forces and make a sneak attack, they will definitely encounter booby traps hidden in the woods, and the sneak attack can be easily detected by the opponent.

Moreover, it is very difficult to detour from both sides of the road, because there are high mountains and mountains, and it is impossible for large troops to detour and sneak attack.

So, Yagi Yusuke said what was in his heart, and then quietly looked at Takeshita Taro's expression.

"Although the artillery that we went south with the army bombarded the enemy's position on the mountain on a large scale, the enemy has obviously built an anti-gun bunker!"

Takeshita Taro looked at the defensive position on the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion were located, and said through gritted teeth: "Next, under the cover of artillery fire, infantry and artillery will launch a coordinated attack on the mountain, but the casualties are as mentioned just now, and the casualties must be very high." big.".

"However, the possibility of a successful sneak attack is very small, so we can only find other ways to break the situation!"

Hearing this, Yagi Yusuke seemed to understand Takeshita Taro's meaning, "Your Excellency General, do you have other ways to break the situation?"

"You can only break the game from behind the opponent."

Takeshita Taro gritted his teeth, and then said: "We can only ask Your Excellency the Commander to use the only paratrooper unit under the direct control of our First Army!".

"Use this paratrooper troop to parachute the enemy army, and catch them by surprise. Then we can concentrate our strength and take advantage of the situation to attack the mountain, so that we can successfully take down the two mountains in front of us!"
