Wang Ping nodded with a smile and agreed with Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang's analysis.

Zhong Chenggong also showed a look of sudden realization on his face, but soon, a trace of worry resurfaced on his face, and then he stared at Wang Ping and asked.

"Regiment commander, what if the devil repairs the railway and rushes to Linfen City with the military train. When the time comes, we want to rob the military columns, and we are still killing these two thousand devil elites first! ”

"Then don't let these two thousand devils come with the military column!" Wang Ping replied without hesitation!

"When the time comes, the devils will either choose to let the military column advance alone and quickly pass through the control area of our new regiment, or let the military column stay in the barren mountains and mountains with them for the night, and we will slowly clean them up at night."

"If you were a devil commander, what would you choose!"

"Take a gamble!" Zhong Chenggong answered without thinking about it!

"Leave the military column in the wilderness, even if there are two thousand devils to escort it, our new regiment will definitely go to patronize it. After all, night battles and mountain battles are what our Eighth Route Army is good at. Moreover, after the devil reinforcements lost air support, except for armored vehicles and cavalry, we did not have a disadvantage in other weapons, and even had a certain advantage. ”

"In this case, we are at least sixty percent sure that we will take the military column, but the losses and casualties paid by the troops are a little greater."

"If we let the military train quickly pass through the area under our control, it is possible to return to Linfen. After all, on this section of the railway, there are nearly two thousand people in the puppet army, the patrol, and the railway garrison of the devils......"

"If you can think like this, Matsumoto, the commander of the Devil Brigade, will definitely think the same way!" Wang Ping replied confidently.

At half past four in the afternoon, Matsumoto, who had been guarding the war room, finally received a telegram from the mixed brigade.

"General, the railway destroyed by the Eighth Route Army has been repaired, and the military train can depart!" As soon as the chief of staff rushed into the war room, he reported excitedly.

Matsumoto quickly glanced at the watch on his arm, and then ordered: "There are still two and a half hours to get dark, and the escort planes have another hour to return, and if they are faster, they can cover their rapid passage through the new group of control areas!" ”

"Order the military column to set off immediately, the reinforcements to escort the troops along the way by car, and the aviation troops to escort the troops without interruption, and we must ensure that the military column passes safely through the control area of the new regiment!"

"Also, give an order to the troops left behind in the control area of the new regiment, let them strengthen their vigilance, and the military column is about to come. If something happens, military law will do it! ”

Less than twenty minutes after the telegram was sent, the chief of staff rushed back with a solemn face.

"General, something is wrong again!"

"The only way for the reinforcements to return to Linfen has been destroyed, and the cars and armored vehicles have not been passed, so they can only get out of the car and march on two legs, but in this case, they will not be able to catch up with the speed of the military column!"

"Nani!" Major General Matsumoto was stunned for a moment and judged.

"It must have been done by the Eighth Route Army, they wanted to separate our reinforcements from the military columns, and create an opportunity for them to sneak attack the military columns. Eight grid tooth road, they are too cunning! ”

The chief of staff immediately proposed: "General, do you want me to contact the military column immediately and let them wait for reinforcements to advance together!" They go it alone, it's too dangerous! ”

"It's too late!" Matsumoto shook his head in refusal, his face very unsightly.

"It's dark in two hours, if they wait for the infantry to advance together, they won't be able to catch up with the Linfen Railway Station tonight!"

"Order, reinforcements march forward in a hurry! The military train continued to move forward, did not stop, and rushed to Linfen Railway Station as fast as possible! ”

"Order the garrisons, patrols, and imperial forces along the railway line to strengthen the vigilance. If the Eighth Route Army is found to be close to the railway, it must be resolutely blocked. For the next two hours, no one can get close to the rail line. Otherwise, all officers above the company level of the Imperial Allied Army will be shot, and all officers above the squad leader level of the Imperial Army will be subject to military law! ”

"Finally, contact the aviation troops, and then stay over the military column for half an hour no matter what, and cover the military column to pass through the control area of the new regiment before returning!"

The new regiment was temporarily stationed, and all three battalion commanders gathered in front of Wang Ping, waiting for orders.

Without hesitating for too long, Wang Ping began to order: "The devil army is rushing towards us, as for the devil infantry escorting the army, because the guard company and the engineer platoon destroyed the road in advance, they were all left behind, so the Japanese puppet army we have to face next is only the enemy along the railway line and the escort on the military train." ”

"The battle was signaled by an explosion on the railway, and it started on time!"

"The explosion sounded, the second battalion, directly attacked head-on, wiped out all the Japanese puppet troops near the military column, and then took the military column, covering the political commissar to organize the villagers to carry food!"

"The third battalion, launch an attack in the west of the second battalion, after clearing the Japanese puppet army in front of you, continue to attack west along the railway line, and after taking five kilometers of railway line in a row, organize a defense on the spot to block all the Japanese puppet army reinforcements that may be sent in the direction of Linfen!"

"The 4th Battalion, attacking to the east of the 2nd Battalion, has the same mission as the 3rd Battalion. What you need to block is the nearly 2,000 main forces transferred by the Japanese army at noon, including armored troops and cavalry, and the offensive ability is very strong. Therefore, I do not ask you to stop at five kilometers of attack, but to attack all the way to the terrain that is conducive to your own blockade, stop, rush to repair the fortifications, and prepare for the onslaught of the devils! ”

"Commissar, you must hurry up, before dawn, the troops must retreat!"

Less than an hour before dark, Wang Ping finally heard the huge roar of the military column.

It didn't take long for the ground beneath his feet to begin to tremble slightly.

"The devil army is here, the whole regiment is ready for battle!" Wang Ping's face quickly became serious.

"Buzz ......"

At this moment, a loud roar came from far and near.

"It's the devil's plane, regiment commander, the devil's plane hasn't left yet, if you attack now, the attacking troops will definitely be bombed by the planes and suffer heavy losses!"

Wang Ping's reaction speed was fast, and he made a decision with a frown.

"The sapper blasting continues, the main forces pause the offensive!"

"It's getting dark, and the devil plane can't hold out for long. When the devil plane is gone, we will attack! ”

"Won't it be too late!" Zhong Chenggong reminded with a worried face.

"Just in time!" Wang Ping replied in the affirmative.

"Linfen City will definitely not be able to send many reinforcements, the main force of the devils in the east is still more than 20 kilometers away, and it will take nearly four hours to march urgently. What we need to eliminate is the Japanese puppet army in front of us, there is not much difference between attacking one or twenty minutes early and attacking one or twenty minutes late! ”

In the huge roar of "Boom ......", the devil army train spit white smoke and slowly entered Wang Ping's field of vision, the speed was very fast, obviously trying to rush through the railway in the control area of the new regiment as fast as possible.

Wang Ping was not in a hurry, but showed a sneer.

"The speed is so fast, the little devil is killed in battle!"
