Not only the commander, but everyone in the command couldn't figure this out.

But it is a fact that reinforcements are missing on the battlefield.

It is impossible for more than 2,000 people to disappear for no reason, and if there are still survivors, after such a long time, there will definitely be news coming back.

The deputy chief of staff met the army commander's gaze and replied: "The reconnaissance team found a trace of a cavalry battle, and found a large number of corpses of the imperial army buried by the Eighth Route Army nearby!" ”

"There are traces of massive shelling near the blocking positions found by the aviation, but the bodies of the imperial troops have not been found."

"A lot of intelligence officers have rushed over after hearing the news, and there should be new discoveries soon."

"But one thing can be confirmed, the county seat has been lost, and all the ammunition supplies we have hoarded in the county town have been captured by the Eighth Route Army. As for the reinforcements, there is more than an eighty percent chance of being eaten. ”

"...... Baga" The face of the commander was extremely gloomy.

Staring at the specific location of the three-way attacking troops on the sand table, he asked, "How many days do they have left to replenish ammunition?" ”

The deputy chief of staff replied: "There are twelve days left at the most, and seven days at the least." ”

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and in the course of the battle, they have used all means to destroy our baggage supplies, otherwise they will have at least twenty days of ammunition supply."

"What's the use of talking about it now?" The commander scolded angrily.

"Every time I fought with the Eighth Route Army, the problem was the supply of ammunition. This time, we specially strengthened the defense of the logistics base, and repeatedly ordered the sweeping troops to protect their ammunition supplies, but the result was still a problem. ”

The deputy chief of staff proposed: "Commander, the logistics base is occupied, and the front-line sweeping troops may run out of food at any time, in order to prevent accidents, it is recommended that they be ordered to withdraw their troops now." ”

"What about the sweep of the garrison? Is it just like that? The commander was dissatisfied, and asked rhetorically.

looked at the deputy chief of staff, and said with a look of unwillingness.

"The latest battle report shows that our sweeping troops have already entered the hinterland of the garrison regiment's base area, and all of them have achieved considerable results, and if they continue to fight according to this situation, they will be able to inflict heavy damage on the garrison's remaining troops in five days at most, drive them into the mountains to fight guerrillas, and destroy their so-called base areas."

The deputy chief of staff reminded: "Think twice, commander! ”

"After the Eighth Route Army left behind in the base area knows the news that the logistics of our sweeping troops have been cut off, they will definitely do everything possible to destroy their remaining baggage ammunition."

"If there is an accident on the front line and the ammunition supply is destroyed, the mopping force will most likely not be able to hold out for even five days."

The commander was not reconciled in any case to give up this sweep halfway.

For this attack, I have been preparing for nearly half a year.

retreating like this, not only will he lose his wife and his troops, but the efforts of the Shanxi garrison for nearly half a year will all be in vain.

Staring at the map, he replied firmly: "If five days is too long, it will be three days." ”

"Send a telegram to the front now."

"Their attack on the garrison can continue for three days, and after three days, regardless of the outcome of the battle, they will all withdraw from the garrison base area."

"Ask them to seize the last three days, find the main force of the garrison, and kill them."

"During the sweep, be sure to send heavy troops to protect the baggage ammunition and not give the Eighth Route Army a chance to destroy them."

The deputy chief of staff hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to tell them the news that the logistics base has been breached?" ”

"No......," the commander vetoed without hesitation.

"Knowing that after the logistical supply is cut off, they will definitely be afraid when fighting, so it is better to retreat now."

"As long as they make sure that there are no major problems with the baggage ammunition, there will be no danger of retreating after three days."

The headquarters of the Lingqiu Garrison Regiment has recently swept away the troops less than ten kilometers from here.

Standing at the headquarters, you can hear the faint sound of artillery coming from outside the city.

Except for the radio station, which is still operating as usual, the rest of the command is sorting out documents and supplies and preparing for the transfer.

"Report to the political commissar, report to the Guangling Independent Battalion: The Japanese puppet army they attacked is like crazy today, completely ignoring the casualties and advancing towards Lingqiu, killing people along the way, burning the village when they see it, the troops have suffered great losses, and it is difficult to stop them." The operator took off his headset and reported very seriously, and handed the telegram he had just translated to the operational staff officer.

Wang Hong took the telegram and read it again and did not speak, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

He couldn't figure out why?

It stands to reason that after knowing that his logistics line has been cut off, the devil will definitely withdraw as soon as possible to prevent accidents from happening after the troops run out of food.

But not only did they not retreat, but they attacked more and more!

Don't they know that the logistics base has been occupied by us? A bold idea popped into Wang Hong's mind.

But it was quickly vetoed by himself.

If they didn't know the news, how could the pace of the attack today suddenly pick up inexplicably?

You must know that the casualties of the troops fighting in this way are very large.

Enemy commanders wouldn't do this if they had a little sense.

There must be some reason why they had to do it again.

Wang Hong thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a reason, so he could only pin his hopes on the head of the regiment who was 100 kilometers away.

The former enemy headquarters of Wushanwa, Li Hao, Zhou Tuanchang, and Hong Linfeng, gathered around the map to analyze the telegram just sent by the political commissar, and frowned.

"Regiment commander, if I were a devil commander, I would definitely not continue to risk attacking when the logistics were cut off, it was too dangerous, and an accident could bring the troops into a dangerous situation from which they could never recover." Hong Linfeng frowned and analyzed.

Head Zhou shook his head and replied, "I can't figure out what the purpose of the devil is?" ”

"They have a limited supply of ammunition in their hands, and the logistics base has been taken by us again, and this almost frenzied offensive will not last for a few days."

"Could it be that the little devil is not willing to fail and wants to take revenge on us before retreating?"

"Yes, it's revenge!" Li Hao suddenly spoke, stared at Head Zhou and said.

"The devil prepared for half a year before starting this sweep, and it looked like it was about to be won, but the logistics base was taken by us."

"Once they retreat, all the gains they have made before will be in vain."

"Losing so many troops and supplies, but as a result, we didn't get anything, and we still hit a nose in our base area, everyone will be unwilling, let alone the devil commander."

"The sweeping troops should still have a lot of ammunition supplies, since they are not willing to retreat, then use this ammunition supply to take revenge on us before retreating."

"If we're lucky, this revenge can hit us hard and lead us to some unexpected results."

"When the time comes, if you withdraw from the army, you will be able to get by on face."

Hong Linfeng's eyes lit up and he said, "It must be so." ””

"I'll send a telegram to the political commissar now: tell him that the devils are taking revenge on us, and they will retreat after the revenge is over, and let them try not to exchange fire with the devils in the past few days, let them toss, and avoid unnecessary losses."
