As soon as he approached the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Fencheng, from the second half of the night, Matsumoto's face became more and more ugly.

"General, the final battle report is that the Eighth Route Army, which robbed our ranks, has retreated. The Eighth Route, which was blocking our mixed brigade, has also been withdrawn, and the mixed brigade has already arrived at the battlefield. However, all the food and supplies on the military column were emptied by the Eighth Route Army, and the imperial troops guarding the military column were all shattered! The chief of staff walked into the war room, lowered his head, and reported with a solemn face.

As soon as he finished speaking, a communications staff officer rushed in: "General, we have lost contact with the armored squadron, and the aviation that has come to support them reports that they have found no trace of the armored squadron along the railway!" ”

Major General Matsumoto's heart jumped, and he immediately had a very bad premonition!

"Find, order the mixed brigade to send troops immediately and find them!"

The communications staff officer was just about to leave when another second lieutenant rushed in, from the communications team.

"General, the mixed brigade reports that the armored squadron and the two mountain artillery squadrons were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, and the whole army was annihilated!"

"More than a dozen sappers and artillerymen who escaped from the battlefield have found the mixed brigade, and they have witnessed with their own eyes that the Eighth Route Army destroyed all the armored vehicles of our armored squadron with anti-aircraft machine guns!"

"It's over!" Lieutenant General Matsumoto's face turned pale with a brush, and these two words came out of his mouth.

Then the whole person seemed to lose the skeleton support in an instant, and suddenly slumped on the chair behind him, motionless!

The chief of staff also turned pale, but for the sake of his own future, he still forcibly suppressed the fear and worry from his heart, stared at Matsumoto and asked, "General, what should I do next?" ”

"We not only lost military columns and four million catties of food, but also lost a cavalry brigade, an armored squadron, two mountain artillery squadrons, and most of the imperial army of the brigade, and the headquarters will definitely not let us go easily!"

Major General Matsumoto was well aware that the front command had long been dissatisfied with itself.

It was only because of his own background that he did not take the position of his brigade commander. Now, with such a good opportunity in front of the headquarters, Matsumoto is sure that the commander will definitely seize the opportunity, take himself, and no longer give himself a chance.

Although Matsumoto attached great importance to the position of brigade commander, he did not take it so seriously that he had to hold it in his hands. At this time, the only thing he couldn't let go of was his old opponent New Mess.

originally thought that he would at least wait until the end of the next retaliatory encirclement and suppression. didn't expect that the changes in front of me gave me no chance to wait until then.

After a moment of hesitation, he replied: "Chief of Staff, don't worry, in order to ensure the stability of the Linfen battle situation, it is impossible for the headquarters to take down the brigade commander and the chief of staff at the same time, and I will take all the responsibility for this failure, so the amount of homework that the headquarters has to do will definitely let you stay in office!" ”

Just when the chief of staff couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Matsumoto changed his words and added: "However, I ask you to tell my successor everything we know about the new regiment. Then cooperate with the new brigade commander and eliminate the new regiment. Only in this way can I leave Linfen with confidence! ”

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, an intelligence from the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front directly alarmed the deputy commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff.

"Boss, Major General Matsumoto, the commander of the Linfen Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army, was replaced and sent directly back to China to transfer to the reserve. This Matsumoto still has a certain relationship with our headquarters, if it weren't for Wang Ping, the headquarters would have almost been killed by the special forces led by this Matsumoto! ”

"I didn't expect that after losing to Wang Ping in the special operation, in the ordinary regular army operation, I lost to Wang Ping in Linfen City!"

"Now it seems that we have played a good game of chess by sending Wang Ping to Linfen! Wang Ping is simply Matsumoto's nemesis! ”

"Have you figured out what the reason was transferred, and also, who is the brigade commander who is going to take over!" The deputy commander-in-chief asked with a smile on his face.

"It is said that the battle was lost, not only lost a large number of military columns and materials, resulting in the interruption of the Tongpu railway, but also lost a lot of troops!" The deputy chief of staff replied.

The smile on the deputy commander-in-chief's face became even thicker: "It seems that this Wang Ping has won another big victory!" ”

"Last time, they Brigade Commander Chen got a brigade's equipment and left, I don't know what benefits Wang Ping got from the devil this time!"

"Immediately send a telegram to the Taiyue Military Region and ask them to report the results of the battle. After winning the battle, the propaganda should still be promoted. Now that we have launched a large-scale sabotage war, we have reached a critical moment, and every victory can be publicized to boost morale, and it can also block the mouths of those people in Chongqing! ”

"Then the newly appointed brigade commander will send his identity and resume to the Taiyue Military Region in as much detail as possible."

"Only by getting familiar with the new opponent can they know themselves and win the next battle!"

At the headquarters of the Taiyue Military Region, after reading the telegram from the headquarters, the commander knew that the commander of the Japanese army brigade in Linfen was going to be replaced.

"This Wang Ping, who concealed it deep enough, didn't know the report after winning so many battles, he must have reaped a lot of benefits from the devil, I'm afraid that I will share the benefits again, and then even save the step of reporting victory!"

The political commissar replied with a smile: "As long as he can win the battle, it doesn't matter if he wins or not!" ”

Then he added: "However, the weapons and ammunition you got back from Wang Ping last time, Commander, really played a big role!" ”

"In particular, the ammunition we divided and the new regimental combat concept that we shared, several main regiments fought several battles of annihilation and captured a lot...... There are also the infantry guns you brought back, commander, and with several main regiments, you took down several nail-like turrets in the base area, and captured a lot of good things! ”

"It can be said that it is precisely because of this batch of weapons and ammunition that the sabotage battle of our military region will be fought so smoothly!"

"Not bad!" The commander nodded approvingly.

Then he began to give orders: "Political commissar, immediately mobilize the intelligence department to find out the newly arrived brigade commander of the Linfen garrison!" ”

"Also, report the situation of the commander to the new regiment, and by the way, let the new regiment report the results of the battle, and pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army in Linfen, after all, they are closer to Linfen!"

"Finally, tell Wang Ping that Matsumoto was forced away by him, and I hope that the next brigade commander of the devil will no longer be forced away, but eliminated!"

The atmosphere at the headquarters of the new regiment in Sanquan Town was not good.

Although the troops robbed the military columns, they recovered 4 million catties of grain and a lot of other supplies. However, the casualties of the attacking troops far exceeded Wang Ping's expectations.

In particular, the four battalions of a cavalry brigade that carried devils hard, there were more than 400 people in two companies before the war, and after the battle, there were less than 100 people who could walk on their own.

The 2nd Battalion of the attacking army also suffered heavy casualties, despite the superiority in equipment and firepower. However, rabbits can bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention the little devils who are armed to the teeth.

More than 400 people before the war, and more than 200 people remained after the battle.

Coupled with the losses of the three battalions, the guard company, and other directly subordinate units, at the end of the night, the new regiment alone had more than 600 soldiers who had died, and nearly one battalion was gone!

"Political commissar, the most important thing for the troops to do now is to restore their strength, and all battalions must be restored to full strength in the shortest possible time. I'll solve the equipment and ammunition, and the recruits can only rely on the commissar to solve it! In the headquarters with a heavy atmosphere, Wang Ping broke the atmosphere and made a decisive decision!
