"Commander-in-Chief, let our First Army go and win this blocking battle first!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, Erhu immediately realized that he had the idea of strike first, and then directly asked for a fight.
"You stupid tiger, it's not your First Army's turn to do this, why don't you just stay here obediently!"
After hearing what Er Hu said, Li Qiufan glared at him angrily and said.
"Correspondent, inform the Second Army and the Fourth Army that such a good target cannot be missed."
"Let them each send two regiments, bring more weapons such as combat artillery and rocket launchers, and appetize them before the enemy's large force arrives. I will kill this enemy's vanguard force!"
After educating the two tigers, Li Qiufan immediately asked the correspondent to issue orders to the Second Army and the Fourth Army, asking them to each send a regiment to annihilate the enemy.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, Lu Ming and Li Xiping immediately began to make arrangements. Each sent a regiment out, carrying a large number of combat anti-cannons and rocket launchers.
At this time, the enemy's leading troops were still trapped in the minefield and could not move, because just when they wanted to retreat, the vehicle carrying infantry in the rear also hit a mine.
At this time, the soldiers in the enemy's vanguard already knew that they were surrounded by countless landmines, and they could only wait for the arrival of the large force and wait for the engineers to clear the mines before they could go out.
But before their engineers could arrive, two regiments from the Second Army and the Fourth Army arrived first and directly touched the hillsides on both sides.
After arriving at the location, the two regiment commanders immediately ordered the deployment of combat anti-aircraft artillery, allowing the soldiers to directly aim at the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles, while the rocket launchers were directed at the enemy's vehicles carrying infantry.
After the two sides made their pre-war arrangements, they checked their tables and finalized the attack time.
Two minutes later, dozens of anti-tank guns opened fire, targeting tanks and armored vehicles parked on the road.
Immediately afterwards, countless rocket launchers began to bombard enemy vehicles carrying infantry.
The enemy's leading troops were immediately stunned, and more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles were scrapped in an instant, and the infantry in the rear suffered heavy casualties.
The enemy's vanguard commander was indeed as Erhu suspected. This was his first time on the battlefield. After being ambushed, he was so frightened that he forgot to organize a counterattack.
It was his deputy who took the lead at the critical moment, and immediately ordered the tanks and armored vehicles to target the hillsides on both sides and begin to suppress them.
At the same time, the remaining infantry were ordered to abandon their cars and all move behind tanks and armored vehicles, using them as bunkers for counterattacks.
But it was too late now. During the delay by the enemy's vanguard commander, under the indiscriminate bombardment of dozens of anti-tank guns, all the tanks and armored vehicles on their periphery had been scrapped.
Moreover, the tanks and armor nested outside blocked the road, and those inside could not move at all and could only stay in place and be beaten.
The two regiments of the Second Army and the Fourth Army did not launch a charge, but only attacked the enemy on the hillside, because they knew that there were minefields below.
But this was a disaster for the enemy. Even if they charged, they didn't dare to charge. They stayed where they were and were beaten. They could only wait for death.
Just when the enemy's leading troops were about to be annihilated, the two commanders of the Second Army and the Fourth Army received orders to retreat at the same time, and the enemy's large forces were about to arrive.
The two regiment leaders were not greedy for credit, and even withdrew their troops, leaving only a mess on the ground.
Shortly after they withdrew, the 37th Infantry Division of the United States arrived, but they did not rush in to support because they already knew that there were landmines everywhere.
Then the 37th Infantry Division of the United States sent engineers to clear mines, and at the same time ordered its four howitzer battalions to start building artillery positions.
Not long after, other enemy troops arrived one after another. After discussion, the howitzer battalion of the 40th Infantry Division of the United States also began to build artillery positions.
As time went by, with the participation of engineers from other enemy forces, they finally cleared all the mines on the way to the vanguard, and then launched a rescue operation for the surviving enemy soldiers.
After evacuating all the lightly and seriously wounded, the enemy's eight howitzer battalions began shelling the main road.
Just as Li Qiufan suspected, in order to save time, the enemy directly used artillery shells to clear the minefield.
But the effect was not ideal. Because of Li Qiufan's previous arrangements for the engineering battalion, half of the landmines were not triggered.
However, the enemy did not know this and directly sent tanks to clear the way for advancement.
Originally, the enemy's frontline commanders thought that they had cleared almost all of the mines, and even if there were not many, there were not many left.
But what happened next was a slap in the face, because the tanks responsible for opening the road triggered the mines one after another, and two of them fell down directly.
The enemy frontline commander realized that the minefield was larger and more complex than he had imagined, and then ordered his troops to withdraw.
But during the retreat, an infantryman hit a mine again, and the explosion directly shocked all the enemy troops.
They now knew how the vanguard was destroyed, and then sent engineers to start clearing mines, but this time they were clearing from behind, and they had to withdraw first.
Li Qiufan did not launch a surprise attack on the enemy during this period, because he knew that the ultimate benefit would not be too great, and his own side might also suffer serious losses, because the artillery of the 37th Infantry Division and the 40th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country The position was not withdrawn.
After that, the enemy troops finally successfully retreated, and then ordered the artillery to fire again and continued to clear the road.
After another indiscriminate bombing, part of the landmines planted by Li Qiufan were cleared.
But this time the enemy did not advance rashly, but sent engineers to clear the way.
"What a pity."
After Li Qiufan received the enemy's situation report from the reconnaissance camp, Erhu looked in the direction of the enemy and sighed.
"What's a pity?"
After hearing Er Hu's emotion, Li Qiufan didn't react for a while and asked him with confusion on his face.
"What a pity those mines are. It would be great if they were all stepped on by the enemy. They would blow them up one by one!"
Upon hearing Li Qiufan's inquiry, Erhu immediately explained to him, but Li Qiufan shook his head helplessly.
"I thought you were pitying for something. These mines were originally designed to delay time. They didn't expect to cause much casualties to the enemy. Their mission has been completed."
"Okay, stop gnashing your teeth and order the troops to prepare for battle. It's our turn soon!"
After feeling helpless, Li Qiufan smiled and patted Erhu on the shoulder.
