As the saying goes, at one time and another, whoever takes the lead on both sides of the war will be able to seize the initiative.

Obviously, the careful planning of Li Ping's people in this battle, coupled with Shibata's hesitation, led to Shibata's situation even more difficult.

In the headquarters, a telegram from Kono made Shibata's face change dramatically.

Kono's reinforcement was blocked by the advancing Eighth Route Army, and it was this information that made Shibata suddenly realize.

Everything is just wishful thinking, and the purpose of the Eighth Route Army has always been its own troops and territory.

Otherwise, how could the advancing Eighth Route Army run to Kono's defense area, and want to break through from its own defense area, isn't it?

Appearing there, of course, it was the reinforcements that blocked Kono, and Shibata had already seen clearly at this time that this operation was a premeditated cooperation of the Eighth Route Army.

It's one thing to see clearly, but the situation will not get any better because of this, and when the Eighth Route Army shows its hole cards, it proves that they have completed their strategic deployment.

"Division commander, Kono's reinforcements can't come, can he send more troops over for reinforcements?"

The chief of staff of the devil reminded him, Shibata shook his head with an expression on his face when he heard this, and said: "Chief of staff, this is impossible, and Kono must also take care of the safety of his defense area." ”

The chief of staff of the devil smiled bitterly when he heard this, yes, Kono can no longer draw troops now.

Because the defense areas of the two divisions were next to each other, the Eighth Route Army could attack its own defense area, and it could also send troops to attack Kono's defense area.

If it weren't for the fact that the Eighth Route Army had fewer troops, I am afraid that they would all attack the two defense areas at the same time.

So now that Kono's troops are blocked, the possibility of reinforcements in that direction is cut off.

Shibata and the chief of staff had a headache at this time, and although they were at a disadvantage, it was not the time to despair.

"Report, the headquarters telegraphed, asking our department to hold the defense area for two days, and the two wings dispatched by the headquarters will rush over."

This is good news, hope is the best, two days, I am sure to hold on.

"Send a telegram to the headquarters, our department will definitely insist on reinforcements, please rest assured that the headquarters will be reassured."

On Shibata's side, there was a glimmer of hope, and on the other side, the front-line troops of the Eighth Route Army were waiting for the devil to arrive.

On both sides of a road, the soldiers in ambush waited calmly, this was the troops of the fourth detachment, and their goal was to come out from this county town and reinforce the devil troops in Wuping County.

"Let the soldiers not relax, the devils can't let them return to the county seat when they come."

"When we annihilate them, we'll start attacking the county seat, understand?"

Everyone nodded, Commander Yang's deployment was to send reinforcements first, and then attack the county seat, so as to reduce the difficulty of attacking the county seat.

It was clear that Commander Yang's plan had succeeded, and the county town of Wuping was in danger, and Shibata's first reaction was reinforcements from his own troops.

In fact, Shibata also had such scruples, he was also afraid of being besieged by the Eighth Route Army for reinforcements, but he understood one thing, the defense area was too big, and everyone would be doomed if they didn't shrink.

So he had to choose to abandon some areas and hold out until reinforcements arrived.

As for whether it will be blocked or even surrounded by the Eighth Route Army on the way, Shibata still believes in the combat effectiveness of the troops.

When the commander of the fourth detachment surrounded the devil troops who came out of the county town to reinforce him, Shibata received the news and did not say a word.

Why did he let all the counties in the defense area send troops to reinforce him, on the one hand, Wuping County really needs reinforcements here.

On the other hand, Shibata wanted to bet that the Eighth Route Army would not have enough troops to besiege the city and send reinforcements.

In his expectation, in addition to Wuping County, one or two of the reinforcements in the six counties in the defense area will inevitably be blocked by the Eighth Route Army.

But he has three or four reinforcements to mobilize, and when the time comes, it will be okay if the Eighth Route Army breaks through one or two county seats, as long as most of the area is kept.

Shibata is thinking this way, and the chief of staff of the devil also understands his psychology and will not stop it, this choice is the best choice in this situation.

When the situation is unfavorable, we must give up and gain in battle, otherwise we will lose even more.

When the commander of the fourth detachment launched the encirclement and annihilation operation, Shibata endured the distress sent by the encircled troops for help, and asked them to continue to hold on and drag the Eighth Route Army along the way.

This is the broken tail to survive, Shibata just wants to use this method to entangle the troops of the Eighth Route Army little by little, so as to reach the time to wait for reinforcements.

The various battlefields of the fierce battles make the area lively, and no matter what happens, Shibata is watching the situation on the battlefield.

When the troops that had come from the other route were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, Shibata's eyes turned red and trembled.

"Division commander, do you need a few other ways to come for reinforcements?"

The unspoken meaning of the chief of staff of the devil is very clear, there are already two troops that have fallen into the pocket formation of the Eighth Route Army, and whether to continue to gamble.

"Chief of Staff, order the other troops to speed up the march and send reinforcements to the county seat of Wuping."

Shibata was ruthless, since the Eighth Route Army wanted to fish, let's see if they had so many troops deployed.

When the third, fourth, and even fifth routes were all being blocked by the Eighth Route Army, Shibata sat motionless in the headquarters.

"Division commander, we still have hope, the Eighth Route Army is so deployed, their various blocking troops should not have many troops, as long as our reinforced troops break their defensive line, they can still complete the goal of the operation."

The corners of Shibata's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say, since the Eighth Route Army dared to deploy like this, it was not so easy to break through their defensive line.

However, as the chief of staff said, at least there is a glimmer of hope, which makes Shibata fight his spirit and pay attention to the changes in the situation.

On the other side, when the devil's five-way reinforcements were blocked by his own troops, Commander Yang also sat and waited.

Now that the deployment has been completed, the next step is to look at the operations of the troops, and whoever wins and who loses will depend on the operations of the front-line troops.

Commander Yang and the political commissar waited with peace of mind, and on the other side, Li Ping looked at the devil who was charging again, and frowned.

Using infantry against his own chariot troops, the devil actually launched a counter-charge, and his head was caught in the door panel.

Looking at the devil who was beaten back again, Li Ping always felt that something was wrong, the devil's way of fighting seemed to be consumed.

What do they want to consume themselves? Troops, which is impossible, to take advantage of the chariot, this is not easy to be consumed.

Weapons and ammunition, which is possible at that time, can be completed to block their own is possible.

Li Ping analyzed a little bit in his mind, and raised his head to fill the sky with smoke, which was his masterpiece, just to prevent the plane from bombing.

Now that the troops are close to the devil's position, it is no longer possible for the plane to bomb, and the devil does not dare to retreat now, they know that once they retreat, they will face the pursuit of their own chariots, and the trenches at the front of the current position are their greatest guarantee, because the tanks are very likely to fall into it.
