Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong replied: "Regiment commander, according to our original battle plan, the devils will be stationed in Linfen City tonight. Through the two dark passages built in Linfen City during this time, we dispatched elites into the city and fought street battles with them in Linfen City. ”

"Now the strength of the two divisions of the Jin Sui Army is closely behind the devil, and they are bent on taking Linfen. I'm worried that they will suddenly join the battle when we are fighting fiercely with the devils, and then take the opportunity to kill into Linfen City, and they won't leave while standing in Linfen City! ”

Wang Ping affirmed: "Jin Suijun will definitely do this!" ”

"They are regular troops, and they hold the sword of the Second World Theater Command in their hands. Offering to join the battle and enter Linfen City to cooperate in the battle, we really have no reason to refuse! ”

"It's easy to please God, once they take the opportunity to enter Linfen City, they will definitely occupy it and not leave, and then take more troops into the city, and they will not leave. When the time comes, Linfen City will naturally fall into the hands of the Jin Sui Army! ”

"The Jin Sui army must not be allowed to occupy Linfen City!" Li Wen replied in the affirmative.

"As long as Linfen City lets them occupy it, they won't leave. When the time comes, Linfen City, which was occupied by the Jin Sui army, will become a nail again! ”

"They will focus on this nail and expand the opportunity to the surroundings step by step."

"When the time comes, the base area will become the base area of half a year ago. No, the situation is definitely worse than it was in the base area half a year ago! ”

"The devils occupy Linfen City, as long as we place heavy troops around and the devils dare to go out of the city, we will fight them. But the Jin Sui army can't do it, it can't be fought, it can't be killed, and no matter how many troops we deploy, we can only watch them go out of the city, rampage in our base area, and expand their influence! ”

Zhong Chenggong said with a serious face: "Commander, I agree with Captain Li's analysis!" ”

"After Linfen City is occupied by the Jin Sui army, it will become a time bomb that may explode at any time!"

Wang Ping hesitated for a long time and finally spoke.

"Then don't let the devils enter Linfen City, we have been occupying Linfen, so that the Jin Sui army will have no chance to enter Linfen!"

"They want to help fight devils, yes, directly outside the city. As for Linfen City, it is guarded by our Eighth Route Army, and it can be defended, and they don't need to interfere! ”

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong opened his mouth and asked with a shocked expression: "Commander, you mean to defend Linfen City, let the little devils garrison in Linfen City again tonight, and we will eliminate them outside Linfen City!" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Ping affirmed.

Zhong Chenggong's mind quickly got up and running, and as the chief of staff, he studied the feasibility of this style of play.

Soon, the look of shock on his face was covered by a smile.

"Commander, it's doable, it's very doable!"

"If you had come up with this idea yesterday, I would definitely be firmly against it. But today is different, the devil has no heavy artillery, just like a hungry wolf without fangs. Even if they still have more than 10,000 people, our new regiment is not afraid. What's more, we are still fighting a defensive battle, and Linfen City has very strong fortifications. ”

"It's good that the little devils who hurriedly killed outside Linfen City don't attack the city, if you really decide to attack the city, I guarantee that the strong city fortifications of Linfen City will definitely become the grave of the little devils!"

Wang Ping immediately ordered: "Order, Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe will enter the city immediately, the two of them didn't hit the devil last night, they must have been itching in their hearts for a long time, let them fight today's city defense battle!" ”

"Chief of Staff, you also go into the city, and return all the mortars, mountain artillery, and infantry artillery that belong to them. You are responsible for the entire battle of defending the city, and the two of them cooperate to ensure that Linfen City does not lose a city gate! ”

"I personally commanded the other troops, and strive to completely annihilate the Japanese army outside Linfen City tonight."

At the headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese Army in Beiping, Okamura Ninji had been standing in front of the huge combat sand table for an hour, and there was no movement in the middle except for reading the information in his hand.

The chief of staff stood next to him and didn't speak, glancing at Okamura Ninji from time to time with his spare eyes, looking for an opportunity to speak.

It is certain that Okamura Ninji must have held back his anger at this time and had nowhere to vent.

If you don't grasp the timing of your own speech, you may become a spark that detonates the powder keg of Okamura Ninji, and then become the target of Okamura Ninji's anger.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the losses of the troops last night have been counted!" After hesitating for a long time, the chief of staff finally seized the opportunity and reported hard.

"Say!" Okamura Ninji didn't look up, his eyes continued to stare at the sand table and answered.

"Hey!" The chief of staff replied carefully.

"According to statistics, last night's battle was a joint military operation between the Taihang Base Area of the Eighth Route Army and the Jinchaji Base Area, and the two participating troops were the elite of the two base areas that had disappeared for nearly half a month, with a total strength of 20,000 troops!"

"In addition, there are two brigades, one division, five main regiments, more than twenty companies, battalions, and regiment-sized local troops participating in the battle in the two base areas!"

"They adopted the tactical method of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, and annihilated a total of five of our reinforcements: two wing-sized reinforcements, three brigade-sized reinforcements, and then took the opportunity to occupy the four county towns controlled by the imperial army!"

"I want the final result, not the battle process. Your staff has made a rehearsal of the specific battle process this morning, and now it is reported again, what is the point. Okamura Ninji suddenly interrupted.

Hearing the anger and murderous aura in Okamura Ninji's tone, the chief of staff's hand shook, and the list in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Then he hurriedly said: "Up to now, the imperial army has lost a total of two infantry wings and three infantry brigades. There was also an infantry wing, and two infantry brigades were attacked by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses. A total of more than 8,900 people were lost in the imperial army, and more than 5,400 people in the six regiments of the imperial army! ”

"So much?" Okamura Ninji, despite his preparations, was still frightened by this number.

The chief of staff affirmed: "The Eighth Route Army dispatched the main force, local troops, and two secret raid troops, with a total of more than 50,000 people and nearly 20,000 people, and nearly 200 artillery pieces alone!" ”

Okamura Ninji raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "What do you mean by saying that this casualty figure is only so far!" Could it be that the Eighth Route Army, which attacked them, has not retreated, what is the aviation force doing, why not cover the troops to repel the Eighth Route Army attacking them! ”

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "The main force of the Eighth Route Army has all retreated~ No, it is not retreating, it is transferred to the mountains near the battlefield to hide!" ”

"Now that the total strength of the imperial army in this area of the battlefield is less than 5,000 people, and the troops are stationed in seven or eight county towns and important villages and towns, and there are no reinforcements around, the Eighth Route Army, which has just won a big victory, will definitely not let go of this opportunity to break through!"

"The front line reports that although the main force of the Eighth Route Army is gone, there are still a large number of small units of the Eighth Route Army around them, sneaking up on them under the noses of our aviation troops, waiting for dark!"

"They ask for the immediate abandonment of those towns and the withdrawal of the fighting area under the cover of aviation!"

Okamura Ninji on the side ordered without thinking about it: "Retreat, let them retreat immediately." The losses are almost 10,000 people, and there are less than 5,000 imperial troops left, and they must not lose any more! ”
