The headquarters of the Japanese division in Linfen City.

As soon as a communications staff officer put down the phone, he hurriedly reported: "Division commander, the Fifth Regiment of the Imperial Allied Army reports that a large number of reconnaissance units of the Eighth Route Army have appeared around their station. They were worried about some conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, and begged the Third Brigade not to go over and retreat directly, and they retreated themselves! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another communications staff officer rushed in: "Sir, the third brigade is in an emergency, they have been harassed and attacked by a small unit of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"The opponent's forces are scattered, hit and run, and the aviation cannot strike at them!"

"Division Commander: The Fourth Regiment of the Imperial Allied Army reports that a large number of reconnaissance troops of the Eighth Route Army have appeared around the station!" The communications staff officer, who had just left, rushed back in.

"The Second Brigade of the Imperial Army was in an emergency, and they were also harassed and sneak attacked by a small group of troops of the Eighth Route Army~"

The chief of staff showed a shocked expression on his face, and then replied: "Division commander, the reaction of the Eighth Route Army is too fast!" ”

Seeing that Lieutenant General Fujino had a calm face and did not speak, the chief of staff followed up and added: "Also, a large number of scouts are operating near the stations of the 5th and 4th regiments of the Imperial Allied Army, and the imperial troops of the three brigades have also been attacked and harassed, will there be any conspiracy in this!" ”

"Will the new regiment want to start a big battle around the garrisons of the two regiments of the Imperial Allied Army!"

"There must be a conspiracy!" Lieutenant General Fujino, who has a calm face, finally spoke!

"The two brigades of the second and third brigades of the imperial army need two to three hours to arrive at the garrison of the imperial army on a normal march, join them, and retreat together!"

"There are small units of the Eighth Route Army harassing and sneak attacking along the way, and the marching time must be increased by at least an hour!"

"If they find a way to hold us back for another two or three hours at the stations of the two regiments, it will be dark!"

"The two brigades suffered heavy losses last night when they had perfect fortifications, and if they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army in this place where there were no fortifications, it would only take one night for the Eighth Route Army to kill them!"

Speaking of this, Fujino couldn't help but sigh.

"What a new wavy appetite! Not only do you want to occupy this occupied area, but you also want to eat all the Imperial Army and Imperial Allied Army in this occupied area! ”

The chief of staff next to him immediately proposed: "I suggest that the two brigades should not go to the convergence and retreat directly under the cover of aviation!" ”

"The life of the Imperial Army is more valuable than the life of the Imperial Army, as long as the three brigades of the Imperial Army are safe and sound, they will successfully retreat. If the Imperial Allied Army is lost, it will be lost, as long as we have guns and food in our hands, we can form it at any time! ”

"Yes, Chief of Staff, your consciousness is good!" Lieutenant General Fujino was satisfied with the chief of staff's answer.

"As long as the Imperial Army is saved, nothing else is a problem...... Now for us, the most important thing is the troops, and the Imperial Army! ”

Immediately gave the order: "Let them stop the convergence and retreat to their destination on a hasty march directly under the cover of aviation!" ”

"Also, order the 4th and 5th regiments of the Imperial Allied Army, with battalions as units, to disperse and attack, and find the main force of the Eighth Route Army moving around them. Contact the aviation and take them out! ”

The chief of staff replied with a sudden realization: "I understand, division commander, you want to use these imperial troops to distract the strength and attention of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"Yes!" Lieutenant General Fujino affirmed.

"They were formed by the Imperial Army at a cost of a lot of weapons, ammunition and food, even if they did not form combat effectiveness and were about to be killed by the Eighth Route Army, they would have to play a little role before they were killed. Otherwise, the effort spent by the Imperial Army on these two regiments would have been wasted! ”

"I'll give the order now!" The chief of staff's eyes lit up and quickly answered.

As a middle-ranking and senior officer in the Japanese army, he looked down on the Imperial Allied Army in his heart. As long as they can bring benefits to the imperial army, even if they know that these imperial troops are going to die, they will not be heartbroken.

Soon, the chief of staff returned: "Division commander, the order has been issued, and the two imperial army squads we have planted in the Imperial Allied Army will report that they will definitely supervise the Imperial Allied Army and fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army." However, hopefully we will give them some airdrop ammunition, mainly rifle gun bullets and grenades! ”

"Give it to them!" Lieutenant General Fujino replied.

"With the Imperial Army supervising the battle, even if these Imperial Cooperative Army has no combat effectiveness, they can kill a lot of the Eighth Route Army!"

"However, they can't be given too much ammunition. If there were too many words, the Eighth Route Army was cheaper in the end, and each regiment gave them 50,000 rounds of airdrop rifle machine gun bullets and 2,000 grenades, which was enough for them to fight a battle! ”

"The commander of the division is wise, and he will arrange it now!" The chief of staff said with admiration.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after the last cruising plane of the devils returned, all the Eighth Route Army hidden everywhere suddenly appeared, and many people were ready to show their skills, and this night they would clean up the devils and avenge the comrades-in-arms who were killed by the Japanese planes during the day.

However, the devils of the three brigades have already run dozens of kilometers away, and everyone has no goal even if they want to take revenge.

"Regiment commander, the reconnaissance company of the three infantry brigades that followed the devils reported that the little devils of the three brigades retreated to these three points respectively. The devils have already mobilized the Imperial Army, and the common people have built a complete set of fortifications at these three points in advance, and the devils will enter the position as soon as they arrive......"

"Abandon the occupied area where we are located, concentrate forces to hold Linfen, in order to plot a counteroffensive in the future, this is the purpose of the devil's retreat in the afternoon!" Wang Ping stared at the map and analyzed with a serious face.

"Devil, this is killing two birds with one stone!" Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong analyzed.

"Although this occupied area is lost, their troops are saved!"

"More importantly, they have more troops to hold Linfen and prevent us from infiltrating Linfen......"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "We also have benefits, take this occupied area, and all the base areas of our new regiment will be connected." Also, Linfen City will also become a lonely city. If the little devils in the city want to get food and ammunition supplies, they have to ask us if we agree or not! ”

"Order, the four battalions of the main force, the four newly formed battalions, and the four independent battalions will take the villages and towns of Lijia Town, Zhouzhuang, and Liangtian overnight, and form a confrontation situation with the troops withdrawn by the devil in the afternoon. We're not going to attack them, and they don't want to fight back into the occupied territories! ”

"The soldiers lost by the three battalions were directly recruited on the spot, and the weapons, and food were drawn from this capture!"

Zhou Xutian was appointed as the acting commander of the seventh battalion of the main force of the new regiment, and the fifth regiment of the Imperial Association Army was directly reorganized into the seventh battalion. The heavy machine gun company, artillery company, and mountain artillery company that the army lacked will be filled for you by the regimental headquarters in the future! ”

"The Fourth Regiment of the Imperial Association Army was reorganized into the new Seventh Battalion, and Huang Cheng temporarily acted as the battalion commander ~ The two action teams operating nearby were combined into an independent seventh battalion, and Xie Fucheng temporarily acted as the battalion commander. The chief of staff was left to be responsible for the reorganization of the three battalions, and after the reorganization was completed, the troops were stationed in the surrounding villages and towns for training, as a reserve force for the four battalions, the newly formed four battalions, and the four independent battalions to protect the base area we had just taken! ”

The headquarters of the Japanese division in Linfen City, at twelve o'clock in the evening, was still very busy, and no one rested!

Looking at Fujino, who was tired and his eyes were red because he hadn't rested for a long time, the chief of staff hesitated for a long time and didn't speak.

"Is it that the two regiments of the Imperial Association Army were killed by the Eighth Route Army!" After seeing the embarrassment on the chief of staff's face, Fujino asked.

"Hey!" Fujino, who was embarrassed for a few seconds, quickly replied.

"We have lost contact with both regiments, and we must have been wiped out!"

"To be able to hold on for so long, they are already playing well. If it's gone, it's gone, Chief of Staff, you are in charge of reorganizing the Fourth and Fifth Regiments of the Imperial Allied Army! Lieutenant General Fujino comforted himself.

The chief of staff hurriedly replied: "Tomorrow I will give an order to reorganize these two regiments!" ”
