"Okay, since the new regiment can't come out to fight us, then we'll force them out. Otherwise, we will burn down all their so-called base areas. The Eighth Route Army has almost no logistical reserves, and it will definitely not be able to withstand such a big loss! The chief of staff replied with excitement on his face.

At this moment, a communications staff officer rushed in: "Division commander, Linfen City is in an emergency!" ”

"The guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area were ambushed by them and the whole army was annihilated!"

"Also, those guerrillas no longer hid and tucked in, and after killing our ambush troops, they openly occupied more than a dozen villages and established base areas. And use the captured weapons to recruit and expand the troops! ”

"What?" Lieutenant General Fujino stood up from his seat at once.

staring at the communications staff officer, he scolded: "Bage Yalu, are they all stupid pigs? More than 1,500 people couldn't even kill a few hundred guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and they also lost their troops and lost their generals. This is simply a disgrace to the Empire? I'm going to take them all to court-martial! ”

The chief of staff's worst fears came true.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he reminded: "Division commander, those commanders are already dead!" ”

"I think that the most important thing now is to kill those Eighth Route Army, and we must not let them fight for the tiger in our rear. The speed at which the Eighth Route Army is developing troops is too fast, and it won't take long for a few hundred people to become thousands! ”

Lieutenant General Fujino did not answer with a calm face, but asked rhetorically with a frown: "How many troops are left in Linfen City?" ”

"Two regiments of the Imperial Allied Army have 2,500 people, a garrison brigade, a main brigade, a gendarmerie brigade, plus other technical arms, the Imperial Army has nearly 3,000 people!" The chief of staff replied like a few treasures.

Fujino decisively ordered: "Draw out a brigade of the main force, with a mountain artillery squadron, plus a regiment of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and immediately send troops to encircle and suppress these Eighth Route Army and kill them!" ”

Seeing that the division commander finally began to pay attention to them, the chief of staff couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "Humble and go and give orders now!" ”

At the headquarters of the new first regiment, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong rushed in and reported: "Regiment commander, the left-behind troops on the inner line are fighting night battles, guerrilla warfare, and movement warfare with the little devils, and the old troops must be able to inflict maximum damage on the devils with the minimum casualties, and then drag them down!" ”

"I plan to leave all the troops of Yan Song and the Invalids behind, and then leave the armored assault battalion and cavalry battalion, under the unified command of the political commissar, to deal with the little devils in the base area!"

"Jin Kai, Zhou Xutian, and Zhang Qingyun's troops followed us, directly entered the area occupied by the little devils, and took Linfen City!"

Wang Ping frowned and replied: "Plus the air defense battalion, two companies of the heavy artillery battalion and six heavy guns follow us!" ”

"The direct team follows me, the reconnaissance company stays, and the political commissar acts!"

"If nothing else, we'll get to the action tonight. Rush to Linfen City in two nights! ”

"By the way, is there any news from the guard battalion Hong Ruijun, the 1,500-day puppet army went to encircle and suppress them, two days have passed, there should have been results!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yong rushed in, his face was very complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

Without waiting for Wang Ping to speak, he reported: "Commander, I brought two news, one good news and one bad news, which one do you listen to first?" ”

"Old Wei, you are also playing mystery with me! If there is good news, of course, you should listen to the good news first, right? Wang Ping replied with a smile flashing across his face.

"Then I'll start with the good news!" Wei Yong also had a smile on his face!

"It was transmitted from Linfen City, Hong Ruijun took the guard battalion to successfully kill the Japanese puppet army sweeping troops, and the news spread to the city, causing a great sensation, making the Japanese puppet soldiers in Linfen City panic, as if the guard battalion had been killed in Linfen City!"

"This is indeed good news, with this victory, we will have 1,500 fewer enemies in the next attack on Linfen City!" Wang Ping replied.

Then he changed the conversation and said: "If I guessed correctly, the devil will definitely not let Hong Ruijun digest the results of the battle in the area they occupy and develop steadily!" ”

The smile on Wei Yong's face disappeared instantly, his brows furrowed, and then he replied, "Yes, Commander, this is the bad news I want to talk about next!" ”

"Linfen City has assembled a reinforced brigade and a regiment of the imperial army, ready to take revenge on Hong Rui's army. Not surprisingly, the troops have now set off, and they will be able to fight Hong Ruijun and them after dark today! ”

Wang Ping's brows wrinkled subconsciously: "Are there any of our own people in this regiment of the puppet army!" ”

"There are two, but they are both company commanders, and they can control sixty percent of their subordinates! However, they also developed several platoon commanders in other units, all of which added up, and at least three hundred people in this regiment of the puppet army were soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in dog clothing! ”

A smile suddenly flashed from Wang Ping's face, and the tightly knit brows were also relaxed at this time, and then he replied very unexpectedly: "No, Old Wei, this is not a good thing for us!" ”

"Chief of Staff, help me analyze how many troops Hong Ruijun has in his hands now!"

The chief of staff replied without thinking: "At least 1,500 people, maybe 2,000 people!" ”

"There is a battalion of our people among the puppet army that he just killed, and this battalion must be a direct battlefield anyway, there are no casualties. Plus the other puppet army captives, there must be six or seven hundred people! ”

"What's more, these six or seven hundred people were all trained by little devils. Even if the combat effectiveness is not comparable to our main forces, it is not much worse! ”

Wang Ping affirmed: "Hong Ruijun's current troops must not be less than 2,000 people!" ”

"Winning the battle, harvesting six or seven hundred captives, that's for sure, and only a little more. But don't forget, we have guerrillas in every village and town in the area occupied by the devils, and now that they are openly waving the banner of our new regiment, those guerrillas will definitely flock to join them, not to mention more, there will definitely be three or four hundred people! ”

"Finally, and most importantly, the Japanese puppet army that they killed was reinforced by the devils with a mortar squad and a heavy machine gun squad. That regiment of the puppet army also has an artillery company and a heavy machine gun company! ”

"Now that the Japanese puppet army has been killed, then these heavy weapons must also fall into the hands of Hong Ruijun!"

"With so much money in your hands, not to mention killing the sweeping troops sent out by the devils today, there will definitely be no problem in severely injuring or dragging them down!"

"There are only a few people in Linfen City, and now there are two thousand five hundred people less at once, and when we kill him and take him down, won't it be easier!"

The more Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong listened, the more excited he became.

Originally, Wang Ping proposed to fight each other, and forced the devils to withdraw by attacking Linfen, Zhong Chenggong still had doubts about whether the new regiment could take Linfen City, but now it seems that there is no problem at all.

He immediately replied: "I will send a telegram to Hong Ruijun now, inform him of the information, and order them to hold off the puppet army for more than 2,000 days!" ”
