Lieutenant General Kato is in a very good mood right now.

After more than ten days of fighting with the Eighth Route Army, he realized that even if he had the advantage of troops, firepower, and even the planes that could be summoned at any time, he could not be the opponent of the Eighth Route Army.

In this case, what Kato is most looking forward to is a positional battle with the Eighth Route Army.

Heaven is very kind to him, and he will come whatever he wants.

The front army really came with an order to stop taking it on its back and directly occupy Linfen City. At the same time, he sent troops to teach the Jin Sui army behind him a lesson, and grabbed the food prepared by the Jin Sui army as a food supply for his stay in the southwest of Jin.

"The division commander, the forward troops report that the road to Linfen will be repaired in one hour!" An operations staff officer rushed over to report.

"Very good, order the forward troops to send an infantry squadron to the city to ensure the safety of Linfen City!" Kato ordered with a smile on his face.

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, no one dares to guarantee that they will not prepare any conspiracy for us in Linfen City, we must be just in case and prevent all possible accidents!"

"Hey! Humble and give orders now! The combat staff officer rushed out of the tent like the wind.

Less than five minutes after walking, the chief of staff rushed in with a smile on his face.

"Division commander, the troops that traded with the Jin Sui Army are back!"

"With more than 600 casualties, they inflicted heavy losses on a main division of the Jinsui Army, snatched back all 10 million catties of grain, and captured all the weapons and equipment that could arm at least 4,000 people!"

"Yo West...... Very good! The smile on Lieutenant General Kato's face grew even stronger.

"With these weapons and equipment, we can form four more regiments of the Imperial Cooperative Army!"

"Chief of Staff, then we are left to enter Linfen City, and then arrange the city defenses before dark to meet the attack of the Eighth Route Army at night!"

"After dawn tomorrow, I would like to know what kind of expression the commander of the Eighth Route Army will have when he sees that we are not planning to leave Linfen~Surprised, or regrets giving up Linfen City to us~"

The chief of staff said, "This time we will definitely surprise them!" ”

"Bang bang bang...... Dadada......"

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire came from the forward troops.

Lieutenant General Kato only frowned for a moment, and his face returned to calm, directly taking these gunshots as a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army.

However, the gunfire, which should have stopped instantly, continued for nearly two minutes.

"What's going on, what are the forward troops for, why not fight back. For so long, why haven't you killed the sneak attack troops of the Eighth Route Army! Lieutenant General Kato's brows furrowed again, and he scolded at a staff officer.

Before the staff officer could speak, a lieutenant communications officer rushed in!

"Sir, we have been fooled, Linfen City is not an empty city, and a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army are stationed in it!"

"An infantry squadron sent by the forward troops was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army when it entered the city, and the whole army was wiped out!"

"Nani?" Lieutenant General Kato was taken aback by the news.

Just now, he was still discussing with the chief of staff what would happen to the commanders of the Eighth Route Army after the troops took over Linfen City.

The gunshots and the report in front of him were nothing less than a resounding eight chapters telling Lieutenant General Kato that it was time to wake up from his sweet dream.

The Eighth Route Army did not give up Linfen City, and the Kato Division wanted to enter Linfen City, so it had to take Linfen City from the Eighth Route Army through attack.

"How many Eighth Route Army garrisons are there in Linfen City!" Kato, who quickly calmed down, stared at the communications officer and asked.

"The lowly position is not clear, but judging by the fire of the ambush of our attacking troops, at least one battalion!"

Lieutenant General Kato did not speak with a calm face, and after glancing at the watch on his wrist, he analyzed.

"Now there are five hours before the retreat of the air force after dark, and now we have no heavy artillery, and the only thing we can rely on is the air force. So, we have to take Linfen City within five hours! ”

"It takes an hour to repair the road, another hour for the troops to kill it, and there are only three hours left that can really be used to attack, which is too short!"

"So, we can't wait for the road to be repaired!"

"Order, Jingtian Wing, all mountain artillery squadrons, mortar squadrons, and heavy machine gun squadrons belonging to the three wings, set off immediately, go with me to Linfen City, and march forward in a hurry. After rushing to Linfen City, launch an attack directly under the cover of aviation, and before dark, Linfen must be taken no matter what! ”

"Humble position, go and arrange it now!" The chief of staff hastened to answer.

In Linfen City, less than 500 meters away from the city wall, in a very inconspicuous courtyard, more than a dozen staff officers and communication soldiers went in and out, sending a steady stream of information from the city fortifications into a house next to the courtyard.

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong, First Battalion Commander Xiong Changhe, and Second Battalion Commander Xiao Yunshan are now pointing and discussing something next to the huge city defense map.

"Chief of Staff, an infantry squadron of the Japanese forward unit has been completely wiped out by us, and none of them have escaped the net!" A staff officer suddenly rushed over and reported.

Xiong Changhe shouted happily: "Chief of Staff, this is a good start for us to guard Linfen City!" ”

"I suggest that in the next battle to defend the city, as long as there are not many little devils attacking, we will let them in to fight, and then give the little devils two more annihilation battles!"

Xiao Yunshan next to him said, "I agree!" ”

"Except for us last night, the other troops involved in the battle killed a lot of little devils. Now it's our turn to open meat, and at least one of the wing's little devils will be killed! ”

Xiong Changhe replied with an arrogant face: "Old Xiao, your appetite is inevitably too small." ”

"We have so many troops, plus such a strong fortification in Linfen City, how can a little devil in one wing be enough for us to share so many troops!"

"I think we have to kill at least two wings of imps in this battle!"

Zhong Chenggong didn't have much smile on his face.

Killing a squadron of devils is like pulling out a hair on their bodies for the entire Kato Division, so that they don't feel pain.

Seeing that Xiong Changhe was more and more exaggerated, he couldn't help but remind: "Don't be careless, the devil Kato Division is not a vegetarian." ”

"Although there is no heavy artillery now, they still have aircraft reinforcements, and their strength is still not to be underestimated!"

"Buzz ......"

As soon as they finished speaking, a huge roar of the engine sounded above them.

Then I saw the guard company commander rushing in: "Chief of Staff, three Japanese planes are conducting low-altitude reconnaissance of Linfen City!" ”

"It's really said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive, order the troops, pay attention to concealment~ Before the Japanese army starts to attack, no troops can enter the position!"

"Although the fortifications of Linfen City are very strong, they can only withstand the artillery bombardment of the mountains. The little devil plane casually drops a bomb and destroys those fortifications in an instant! ”
