"The battalion commander... the regiment headquarters urgently sent a telegram, and the Japanese reinforcements set off... More than 1,300 cavalry and fourteen chariots were all tanks!" The cavalry battalion operator rushed to Ma Houshi, and reported it nervously since he was excited and nervous.

Ma Houshi frowned and stared at the engineer company commander Chen Jianqiao and asked, "Old Chen, I will solve the cavalry, and you will solve the tanks. There are a total of fourteen tanks. Are you sure to kill them!"

Chen Jianqiao smiled bitterly and said, "Battery Commander Ma, you are so beautiful. Our engineer company. We don't have guns, and we don't have guns. How could we destroy so many tanks at once..."

"That commander's order?" Ma Houshi's face showed a worried expression!

"The commander's order must be completed~ Even if all the engineer company is sold out, it will not affect the overall situation of the regiment commander. Please rest assured about this!" Chen Jianqiang answered firmly with a look of confidence in his answer.

"Although the engineer company does not have the strength to kill them, I can find a way to hold them back. I have chosen the terrain!"

"Battleman Ma, look at the map. When the Japanese come over the stone bridge, there will be a mountain road of nearly five kilometers. During the day, I walked it. There is a cliff entrance here. The road passes through the cliff entrance. If I blow up the cliff entrance and the stone bridge that the Japanese have just passed, they will be trapped on this section of the road."

"Of course, the Japanese tanks can also choose to take the mountain road and detour other roads to continue moving forward. However, in this way, they will have to circle more than a hundred kilometers around this mountain~"

"The tanks have limited fuel, and the cars that do not transport supplies and fuel are followed. When the fuel is used up, the tanks can only stay in place and cannot move!"

"Maybe we can seize more than a dozen tanks that the Japanese were lying in our base!"

"Good solution..." The worried expression on Ma Houshi's face instantly swept away, and then ordered.

"Since that's the case, let's act separately...you will deal with the Japanese tanks...I will deal with the Japanese cavalry~"

"Blowing up the cliff can block the passage of the Japanese tanks, but it cannot block the Japanese cavalry. They can dismount and cross the ruins directly, but it will take a few more minutes!"

"More than a thousand elite Japanese cavalrymen are also an unprecedented huge pressure for our cavalry battalion!"

"Boom..."

The engine roar is not very obvious in the sound of horse hooves, but the two sounds can be transmitted far away.

In less than half an hour, the mixed force formed by cavalry and chariots reached what Chen Jianqiao said.

"Detonate..." Chen Jianqiao ordered with excitement on his face.

"Boom boom boom..."

As the instructor pressed the detonating joystick, the ground under his feet suddenly trembled, and then a violent explosion like thunder came to his ears.

"Company Commander, we have blown up the entrance of the cliff!" Looking at the entrance of the cliff with smoke two hundred meters away, the subordinates next to him shouted excitedly.

Chen Jianqiao replied confidently: "Of course, at that time, although the strong explosives in the regiment headquarters were used up, there were still black gunpowder. I also dismantled a total of twenty heavy artillery shells and took hundreds of kilograms of strong explosives from it! So much gunpowder, not to mention a cliff entrance, we can blow it up even if a mountain is placed in front of us!"

As he spoke, the smoke that enveloped the cliff entrance slowly dissipated.

A bloody picture appeared in front of them.

A tank and dozens of cavalry around were buried in the cracks of the blast. Because there were too many kinds of corpses, a stone mountain with a height of more than five meters was piled up on the Yakou Highway.

On both sides of Shitou Mountain, the Japanese cavalry who had passed through the cliff and did not pass through the cliff, all stared at the broken corpse mountain at the cliff.

After learning that the 135th Regiment was attacked and the New First Regiment might have swallowed one of its infantry regiments in one bite, Lieutenant General Ito's sleepiness was completely gone.

Stayed in the war room, paced back and forth.

Although he didn't say anything, everyone in the command center could see the anxiety in the division commander at this moment.

Therefore, although there are several people working in the tent, everyone is cautious, afraid that a sound will detonate the anxiety of the division commander, and then vent their anger on themselves.

"The division commander, the cavalry gang is in urgent need of a telegram... something happened to them!"

The appearance of the Chief of Staff broke the tranquility inside the tent, but made the atmosphere more depressing.

Tonight, since dark, Lieutenant General Ito has not received any good news in this tent, even none of them.

Everyone saw that Lieutenant General Ito's face turned from the initial worry to the gloomy moment, and then it took a long time to react.

"What's going on~"

"Here..." the Chief of Staff pointed to the map and introduced.

"There is a cliff here, with mountains on both sides, and the road passes through the cliff. But the Eighth Route Army buried a large amount of explosives at the cliff. When the reinforcements passed, they exploded the cliff... The flying stones falling from the sky not only buried one of our tanks and a small team of cavalry, but also blocked a five-meter-high stone mountain on the highway. The tank troops could not continue to reinforce the 135th Regiment through the cliff!"

"I understand!" Lieutenant General Ito replied with a calm face.

"The reason why the Eighth Route Army dared to attack the 135th Regiment under our noses was that it was this cliff mouth, blocking our reinforcements through the cliff mouth, and buying time for them to attack the 135th Regiment!"

"No! We must never let the enemy's plan succeed. The 135th Regiment must not be destroyed. Otherwise, we will become the sinners of the empire!"

"Chief of Staff, is there any road to bypass this cliff!"

"There is...but you need to go around more than 100 kilometers~ However, with the speed of a chariot, you will definitely reach the battlefield in four hours!" The Chief of Staff pointed to the map and introduced.

Lieutenant General Ito shook his head and rejected: "No! It's been too long... The Eighth Route Army that attacked the 135th Regiment was equipped with armored vehicles, and they also lost all heavy artillery and mountain field artillery, so they would definitely not last for that long!"

The Chief of Staff hesitated for a moment and replied: "There is only one way~"

"The reinforcements divided the troops... The cavalry crossed the mountain of corpse-shattered bodies at the entrance of the cliff and continued to reinforce the 135th Regiment on the same route, and they could reach the battlefield within a maximum of 40 minutes!"

"The chariot brigade is circling by and reinforces the 135th Regiment!"

"That's it!" Lieutenant General Ito gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Although it is dangerous to divide the troops, I can't take care of that much in order to rescue the 135th Regiment! No matter how big the risks are, I have to take. In short, a corps will never be allowed to be completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in my hands!"

"I'll give orders right away!" The chief of staff raised his leg and was about to rush out.

"Wait a minute!" Lieutenant General Ito followed and ordered.

"Remind the cavalry corps that they cannot be opponents of armored vehicles, but the number of armored vehicles in the Eighth Route Army is limited and cannot be everywhere. Therefore, when you arrive at the battlefield, avoid armored vehicles as much as possible, and specifically pick up the Eighth Route Army infantry to fight, and rescue the 135th Regiment!"

"As long as an infantry brigade is rescued, the rest will be much easier!"
