Chapter 1903 Devil's Strength Deep Ditch
Zaotian received a report from the team in front, telling him that a ditch running through the entire road appeared near the front line, and the inside was full of deep water, and the troops could not continue to advance according to the original route.
This forced Zaotian to reach out and grab his head. The only road that enters Yuyao City in this area is Dairong Canyon, which is suitable for subsequent troops' attacks with heavy weapons. The others are all mountains, forests and suspended walls. Not to mention marching, it would be good if they could figure out the direction.
So apart from this, there is really no land route to go, and the only thing left is the water route of Yuyao Wharf. However, after the last time they failed to compete with Wang Si and their main troops for Yuyao Wharf, they had no idea of getting water routes.
Because Zaotian knew very well that Wang Si was not a careless person, and his defense of water was far more stringent than that of land. If they wanted to get any advantage from water, it would be impossible.
Therefore, Zaotian focused his offense on the land route behind Dairong Canyon. He originally thought that Wang Sihui focused on defending Dairong Canyon and used the advantages of the canyon to block his main force's advance, but he did not expect that when they passed Dairong Canyon, they did not encounter a single shot and an attack.
This means that Wang Si and his friends gave up the Dairong Canyon position, but directly let Zaotian and others arrive on the road outside Yuyao City.
In fact, from the perspective of defense depth, although Dairong Canyon is steep, it seems that it can block the entire land with its geographical advantages, and even make the land worth a heavy price.
However, the depth of Dairong Canyon is shallow. Although it is steep around, there is not much shelter. Once an attack is launched, the firepower points and artillery positions will be completely exposed.
This undoubtedly provides the Japanese with an opportunity to directly attack Wang Si's key firepower, which is an important reason why Wang Si gave up Dairong Canyon.
But in contrast, near the road outside Yuyao City, the strategic depth is relatively large. In addition to the effective compression of the width of the front line, Yuyao City behind is their best depth. Once the front line cannot be blocked, Yuyao City behind is their best position to block the Japanese.
Using alleys, streets and houses on both sides as the road can effectively restrain the Japanese's attack, and even drag the Japanese to death in the street fighting.
In addition, Wang Si built a water diversion channel near the intersection of the road. The straight wall of the channel was built to 90 degrees, with a huge width, so even the tank could not pass through, let alone the Japanese soldiers.
With these in front of the Japanese troops, Zaotian seemed to have some difficulty in trying to achieve the results he expected.
"Your Excellency, our troops are on the road that is difficult to spread. When we see Yuyao City in front of us, we can never cross the past. What should we do?" The Japanese Grandpa said to Zaotian at this time.
He also knew about the frontline report, but Zaotian was reluctant to make any decision, which really made him feel helpless, so he took the initiative to go forward and asked.
"We have no other way to go now, we can only pass here!" Zaotian said immediately. For them, the only way out is to reach the front line of Yuyao City from the road in front of them. Other places are not what they can choose at all. "I order them to find a way to build a bridge. They must launch an attack on the front line of the King Si position in one and a half hours!"
Zaotian issued a tough order, no matter whether his subordinates could do it or not, he asked his brothers to complete the task assigned to them this time.
"Ha!" Hearing Zaotian's words, even if the Japanese Grandpa was not very happy, they had to do things according to Zaotian's instructions. After all, Zaotian was their military chief, and they had to obey unconditionally.
So the Japanese Grandmaster responded immediately, then greeted the Japanese soldiers around him, and immediately conveyed the orders, and invited the soldiers to quickly convey the orders so that everyone could follow the orders of Zaotian.
As this order was conveyed, Zaotian continued to walk towards the front line with other Japanese devils around him, intending to solve the problem in front as quickly as possible and reinforce the battle of the front-line troops.
At this time, the vanguard of the Japanese were resting on the spot, but received an order from Zaotian. The commander immediately called on the Japanese troops around him to get up and began to cut down some wood from the mountains and forests on both sides of the road to build a cross-bridge across the ditches, so that their troops could rush back from here faster and fight against Wang Si's vanguard.
However, the surrounding forests are not dense enough, and the wood they need is difficult to find. In desperation, these Japanese could only turn back to the last five or six hundred meters to find suitable wood.
Except for the guards left the troops, the Japanese soldiers present started to act, and no one was left idle.
When Han Zhengdong saw someone retreating from the Japanese devils, he looked confused and asked Wang Si: "Captain, what are the Japanese devils doing? Do they think they can't get through, so they plan to evacuate here with the Japanese soldiers?"
The Japanese have never given up until they achieve their goals, especially the Japanese troops led by Zaotian, so he really can't understand what it means to evacuate these Japanese people here.
"If the Japanese really plan to retreat, they will not leave anyone here to guard!" Wang Si immediately denied, "Now the Japanese left people here to guard them, which only means that the Japanese are not really leaving here!"
"What the captain means is that the Japanese will come back?" After hearing Wang Si's words, Han Zhengdong seemed to understand something, so he said to Wang Si.
"Not only will they come back, but they must have thought of ways to defend across our ditches!" Wang Si seemed to have a bad premonition, and immediately looked at the sky, then said to Han Zhengdong.
He never dared to underestimate the Japanese's cunning. He felt that the Japanese suddenly evacuated here and left people to guard here, so he must have some plans.
The biggest difficulty for the Japanese at present is the huge ditch in front of them. Because the ditch completely blocked the Japanese's pace of progress, the Japanese wanted to continue moving forward, but they had no way to come from the opposite side of the ditch before there was no other way.
Therefore, he felt that the sudden evacuation of the Japanese was to implement the plan to cross the ditches. He had to think of ways to deal with it in advance, otherwise it would be difficult for him to stop it as things continued.
