This uncertainty is fatal, because it means that the Eighth Route Army cannot determine which direction the two minesweepers hidden by the enemy will suddenly appear, so they must guard every direction and even every position in the defense line.

However, worried that this seemed unnecessary, the Japanese's frontal charge made the Eighth Route Army unable to bear it.

The minesweeper rumbled up.

The process was not smooth because the Japanese minesweeper truck was modified by a tractor and the driver did not have any cover.

The Eighth Route Army sharpshooter knocked down the minesweeper driver one shot after another from a distance, but the Japanese drivers got on one after another.

Later, the Japanese drivers even learned their lesson. After climbing into the cab, they did not appear at all but curled up under the baffle.

As for driving direction, you just need to keep your speed and continue driving forward. At worst, just ask the infantryman who is following you loudly.

Directional thunders detonated one by one, but they failed to cause much damage to the Japanese. Seeing that the Japanese were getting closer, Tang Liangjun called the command center in a hurry: "Battery Commander, the position cannot be defended, so he requested to withdraw the underground warehouse!"

Wang Xuexin looked at the time with a dark face. It was still an hour before dark, and it was not yet time.

If the Japanese were allowed to occupy the ground position at this time... then the underground warehouse would be blasted.

The design of an underground warehouse is just a warehouse, and it is an underground warehouse built under the plain loess. It is not as attacking or defending as a highland tunnel, so the battle will be very passive.

Therefore, the ground positions have to be guarded for a while.

But now this is the case...

After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin ordered: "Please request permission, but before evacuation, a batch of directional thunders were buried in the trenches. Do you understand?"

Tang Liangjun was stunned, and then immediately responded: "I understand!"

Tang Liangjun indeed understood that this retreat was not a retreat, but a retreat for counterattack.

The 208th Regiment is worthy of being the main regiment. Tang Liangjun ordered the battalion commanders, company commanders and other commanders immediately understood the meaning and immediately commanded the soldiers to lay out hidden directional thunders in the trenches.

This is what the idiom says "like an arm instructs".

If it is a poorly qualified unit, such orders may cause a series of command chaos.

For example, Tang Liangjun's order was only one sentence: "Land directional thunder in the trenches and prepare to retreat!"

Some people may understand what Tang Liangjun means and will secretly place directional lightning, that is, bury the directional lightning and wires in the soil and then lead them all the way to the entrance of the underground warehouse, and there are still many layouts.

But some people don’t understand this. They just throw the directional thunder or insert it into the trenches... This is also a directional thunder, and it is also in the trenches. There is no problem from the perspective of executing the command.

But if this is true, the Japanese will immediately find the problem as soon as they jump into the trench, and then they will expose the combat plan in advance to let the Japanese know that this is a trap and react.

Therefore, if it is a unit with average quality, the correct way to issue this order is to gather battalion-level cadres to hold a short meeting and tell them the combat plan as quickly as possible, and then let the battalion commander pass the combat plan to the company commander, and the company commander pass it to the soldiers.

This command can be implemented accurately in the end.

But if it had arrived at that time, I was afraid that the Japanese would have rushed into the trench with the minesweeper truck, and this combat plan would have no time and space to be implemented.

The 208th Regiment is not an ordinary force. Tang Liangjun usually gets into the same place with the battalion commander and the company commander. Tang Liangjun understands the commanders of each battalion and company, and the commanders of each battalion and company also understands Tang Liangjun.

Therefore, Tang Liang gave the order, and all the battalions and companies understood it, and then he consciously and took the initiative to fill in the parts that were not in the order.

Soon, a directional thunder was laid in the trench every ten meters, and they were all covered with loess.

Because time is tight, it is just a thin layer of soil covered.

But this doesn't matter, because the Japanese artillery fire and the strafing of planes above their heads kept knocking down the loess on both sides of the trench, which helped the soldiers speed up the completion of this trap and did not reveal any trace.

After that, the soldiers retreated to the underground warehouse along the traffic trench in groups... This was built by the soldiers when building trenches, and the entrance to each underground warehouse is connected to the trench by traffic trench.

This is common sense, because only in this way can you not need to dig out the trenches when you evacuate from the ground trenches into the underground warehouse and expose yourself to the enemy's muzzles and muzzles.

Only in this way can we not be discovered by the enemy as soon as we launch a counterattack from the underground warehouse.

On the other side, Shino Endo on the other side was secretly happy when he saw the Eighth Route Army's firepower gradually weakening: It was really not easy to finally defeat these cunning Eighth Route Army!

Perhaps because he was worried that the war would change, Shino Endo ordered: "Order Shimada Squadron to speed up and occupy the enemy's defense line as soon as possible to prevent the enemy from counterattacking, and Ishikawa Squadron continues to attack!"

Endo Shino's command is fine.

Because the Eighth Route Army's defense line had this loophole... They formed a circle without defense depth.

The Imperial Army only needs to break through a little, then use one squadron to defend the trench to protect the gap and expand it, and the other squadron rushed straight to its hinterland and could rush to the back of the other side of the Eighth Route Army’s defense line.

By then, it will be the time when the Eighth Route Army’s defense line collapses.

Under Endo Shino's satisfied gaze, the Japanese successfully occupied the trenches.

The Japanese's actions were also very fast. They immediately filled a trench with sandbags, allowing minesweepers and tanks to cross the trench one by one and then launch a rush to the other side.

However, at this moment, the incident happened.

Just when Endo Shino thought the battle was decided and he even wanted to report to the command center: "The enemy has collapsed and our army has completely occupied the enemy's ground positions", a series of explosions suddenly came from the trenches, accompanied by these explosions, the Japanese shouted loudly like a pig.

Endo Shino's face changed, and he immediately realized what was going on.

"Bastard!" Endo Shino shouted: "Everyone has it, guard the trench! Guard the trench!"

Endo Shino did not order a "retreat", which shows that he was quite knowledgeable and knew that there was no benefit in retreat at this time. Only by gathering all forces to compete with the Eighth Route Army for the trenches can he have hope of victory.

However, this command is also inappropriate.

because……

The Japanese in the trenches and even near the trenches were beaten to the body by flying steel balls, and they had no combat power at all, let alone defending the trenches and even competing with the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army shouted and rushed out of the warehouse entrance.

At this time, they were holding big swords and engineer shovels in their hands... Fighting in the trenches, big swords and engineer shovels are much more useful than rifles.
