"Sir, I think the news he brought back is likely to be true!" The Deputy Chief of Staff spoke at the right time.

Then he said his thoughts: "I remember what you just said that the current Eighth Route Army did not dare to take the initiative to provoke a war, and then it had to slow down our attack and protect its base area by destroying the road. ”

"Attacking the mountain artillery battalion, even if you don't hurt a single person and don't fire a shot, it can be regarded as the main attack and provoke a war."

"This is diametrically opposed to our previous judgment, if the Eighth Route Army is really ready to break with us, it is impossible to deploy only one battalion of troops on the front line."

"Even if we don't have a mountain artillery battalion, the superiority in strength is still in our hands."

"If we really attack, these Eighth Route Army will definitely not be our opponents,"

"And I believe that with the combat style and attitude of the Eighth Route Army in the past, it should not be ready to completely break with us."

"So I don't think it's the Eighth Route Army that attacked the mountain artillery battalion."

The division commander nodded in approval, which was what he had never figured out.

But if they are Japanese, it doesn't make sense.

The report of his subordinates made it very clear: the Japanese had only revealed their identities in order to secure the prisoners, and they intended to exchange the prisoners for their scarce food and supplies.

In this way, when the captives return to the army, their identities and hiding places will still be exposed, and in the end, they will not be able to escape the crazy revenge of the Jin Sui army.

If it were oneself, it would be completely possible to deter and control the captives by killing people and establishing authority.

In this way, not only can you hide your identity, but you can also get food, killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, the division commander was very suspicious of their purpose of deliberately identifying themselves.

I don't know if this is a conspiracy to mistake myself for Japanese.

Of course, this does not rule out another possibility.

They are indeed Japanese, and it was also deliberate to show their identities at the last moment of the battle, the purpose was to make themselves unable to distinguish between fiction and reality, mistakenly think that they were the Eighth Route Army, and then target the Eighth Route Army, so that they could always lurk under the nose of the Jin Sui Army.

If this is the case, then the scheming of the opposing commander is too deep.

But when I thought of their status as a special high class, the teacher was relieved.

Compared with the military, the special high school is obviously better at engaging in this kind of conspiracy.

Seeing that the division commander had been calm and did not speak, the deputy chief of staff couldn't help but ask: "Division, what do you think?" ”

"I can't be sure who they are." The division commander replied.

Finally, he waved his hand and replied, "I don't want to." ”

"Since they want to exchange the captured mountain artillery battalion and the officers and soldiers of the baggage company for their scarce food and materials from us, they will definitely take the initiative to contact us when the time comes, and we will be able to find out their identities when the time comes."

"The top priority now is to enter the garrison base area and occupy more territory."

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

"If there is an accident in the mountain artillery battalion, the firepower advantage is on the side of the garrison regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

"If we rashly provoke a war, even if we kill them through a strong attack, we will suffer heavy casualties, and it is very likely that after this battle, there will be no troops to continue to penetrate into the hinterland of their base area, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"Don't be afraid!" The division commander replied categorically.

"We still have two regiments of troops behind us, ready to rush to the front to reinforce us."

"And in addition to us, there are two commandos on the front line, and their combined strength is not less than ours at all."

"If they cooperate, even if there is no mountain artillery battalion, we can easily take them down."

The deputy chief of staff immediately understood the division commander's thoughts: the troops here are attacking the defense line of the Eighth Route Army head-on, and the left and right assault teams will go straight to the base of the garrison regiment, outflank the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, and flank them in front and back, and they will definitely be able to easily kill them.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this kind of fighting could be successful, and he quickly replied: "Sir, I will send them a telegram now to make sure that they have not encountered the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army." ”

The deputy chief of staff returned five minutes after leaving, and was happy to report: "Division, I was just about to send a telegram when I received a call back from two commandos. ”

"They also have the Eighth Route Army blocking position in front of them, but the defending troops on the position are very small, less than a platoon, and there is no Eighth Route Army to demonstrate against them."

"As soon as the troops reached the defensive line, the Eighth Route Army inside abandoned their positions and retreated."

"They asked for instructions: Do the troops want to continue to advance and directly enter the garrison base area."

"Of course you have to go in." The division commander shouted excitedly.

"Intelligence says that there is only one reinforced battalion of the Eighth Route Army in these two towns."

"There are more than 500 people in front of us, a platoon of troops on each of the left and right flanks, plus some stragglers scattered in the rear, exactly one reinforced battalion."

"It not only proves that our intelligence is correct, but also proves that there is no conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army in these two towns."

"Order them to march into these two towns in a hurry, and then go straight to the rear of the Eighth Route Army's blocking position."

"All units must be in place within three hours, and we will attack at the same time to completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army here."

"The master is wise!" The deputy chief of staff hurriedly received the order.

At the battalion headquarters of the Datong Independent Battalion, the communications troops continued to report the latest battle reports from the front line here.

In the busy war room, everyone has different expressions and seems to have their own thoughts and opinions.

Li Hao stood in front of the map, giving orders with a serious face.

Huang Sheng stood beside him with a puzzled expression.

The instructor's face was also full of doubts, and he didn't understand why the regiment commander had given the retreat order to the 1st and 3rd companies just now.

"Report to the regiment commander, the left and right commandos of the Jin Sui Army have entered our base area, and there are signs of converging with the middle commandos." A communications soldier ran in to report.

Li Hao glanced at the map and made a judgment: "The appetite of this Jin Suijun is not small!" ”

"The two assault teams detoured behind the second company, flanked the troops we had placed on the defensive line back and forth, and wiped them out."

Huang Sheng finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "Regiment commander, I still can't understand why you let one, three, or two companies retreat." ”

"The two companies plus the mine array we have placed on the defensive line, even if they can't stop the Jin Sui army, they can still suffer heavy casualties, and if they can't do it, they can dispel their idea of seizing our base area."

"Now put them in the base area and detour back behind the second company, the second company, the baggage company, and the artillery company will not be dangerous."

Li Hao was very confident and comforted: "Don't worry, your three companies will not have any losses." ”

"Order them to alternately cover the evacuation positions after an hour, and we will also retreat and let the Jin Sui army enter our base area."

"The first company is responsible for monitoring the Jin Sui army on the left, the second company, the baggage company is monitoring the Jin Sui army on the middle road, the third company is monitoring the Jin Sui army on the right, and the other troops will follow us and be a reserve!"
