"Commander, good news!" As soon as Zhong Chenggong rushed into the war room, he stared at Wang Ping and shouted excitedly.

"The direct team reported that at nine o'clock this morning, more than 4,000 Japanese troops suddenly left Linfen and killed them in the direction of the military region!"

Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang immediately reacted: "It must be that the two ambush battles fought by the military region last night worked, and these little devils are making up for the gap!" ”

Then he analyzed with a smile on his face: "Yesterday we deduced that there are more than 28,000 devils, and nearly 20,000 infantry and cavalry. Now that 4,000 people have been removed at once, this means that there are less than 16,000 devils left in Linfen City who can fight head-on! ”

"Except for the troops left behind in Linfen City, they will send 12,000 to 13,000 people to attack us!"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Political commissar, you think too well!" ”

"Have you ever seen the power of the little devil's large-caliber heavy artillery, not to mention the heavy artillery wing, let's just say that the field artillery wing directly under their division and regiment, if it is used well, it will not play a role on the battlefield compared to an infantry wing. Covered by artillery fire, one of our main battalions can be killed casually. As for their heavy artillery wing, not to mention, on the battlefield, the power of a brigade is worth a field artillery wing! ”

"In addition, there is the devil's tank brigade, more than thirty tanks and armored vehicles, all of which are killer weapons in the hands of the little devils."

The good mood on Huang Yuanqiang's face disappeared all of a sudden, and he asked with a calm face: "Then regiment leader, do you have a way to break the enemy!" ”

"Not yet, I can only see the move. However, a general idea is already in place. Wang Ping shook his head and replied.

Then the conversation changed and continued: "There is no way for the time being, but the troops cannot be idle!" ”

"Political commissar, chief of staff, we must take advantage of the time when the devils are not ready to further strengthen the training of the troops. That night, the troops were all pulled out to fight the devils, and any problems should have been exposed. Order several battalion commanders to strengthen training in a targeted manner to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops! ”

Zhong Chenggong immediately replied: "Please rest assured, the head of the regiment, we will pay close attention to this point...... However, there is still an old problem in the troops: equipment, which is seriously under-equipped...... Only one-third of the fighters of the new main battalion have weapons, and the proportion of garrison troops is even lower, only one-fifth of the fighters have weapons, and there are almost no heavy weapons! ”

"The big war is coming, we must find a way to equip them with weapons, at least we must ensure that they have a rifle in their hands, so that they will not go to the battlefield with cold weapons!"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "There are no weapons now, not even a rifle~ You go and tell a few battalion commanders that the weapons they are equipped with now are all weapons and equipment that the regiment headquarters has embezzled and prepared to hand over to Yan'an......"

"Tell them that they can train without weapons. When the battle starts, they will have weapons. When the time comes, I will ask the four newly formed main battalions to take up arms and fight, and there is no time for them to run in and adapt! ”

"If there is a battalion commander who thinks that the troops cannot train without weapons, you ask him to come to me, and I will directly remove him from the position of battalion commander. Although our new regiment does not have many weapons, there are still many people who can be battalion commanders! ”

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and looking at the warehouses that were slowly filling up with supplies and ammunition, Lieutenant General Ito finally couldn't help it.

He wants to attack the base area of the new regiment, kill the new regiment, and avenge the subordinates who died in the battle.

In the conference room of the university, more than a dozen officers of different ranks and above were all sitting in danger waiting for the division commander to give an order.

The more than 10-day training is very boring for these field units that are formed for the purpose of fighting wars.

Everyone wanted to rush to the battlefield and let the Eighth Route Army have a good look at the formidable combat effectiveness of the Imperial Field Army.

When Lieutenant General Ito and the chief of staff came in, more than a dozen devil officers discussed it and stood up in unison.

It wasn't until the division commander waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down that they sat back in their seats, and then sat down and waited for the division commander to give a lecture.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you're already aware of my purpose for bringing people back and forth. In that case, I won't talk nonsense. Now, I would like to ask the Chief of Staff to brief you on the new situation that we have learned about this period of time through the intelligence network and our own reconnaissance! ”

"There is a saying in China that you know yourself and know your opponent and win all battles, and I hope you will listen carefully. Because, next, I will assign combat missions to you according to the real strength of the new regiment. If there is any incompetence or other circumstances, you need to raise it as soon as possible. When it comes to the battlefield, all the participating troops must guarantee to win the enemy and kill our opponents, and there can be no accidents! ”

The chief of staff had a very serious expression, stood up and said: "Division commander, garrison, after reconnaissance, our opponent's new regiment has a main force of more than five thousand people, and there are also local troops and guerrillas of two thousand to three thousand people. However, in addition to the fact that the main forces are well equipped and on a par with the level of equipment of our main forces, more than half of the local troops and partisans are not even equipped with rifles, and there are almost no heavy weapons! ”

"So, after the battle begins, the focus of our attack will be on their main forces~ as long as their main forces are killed, the remaining local troops will not be worried!"

Except that he was attacked by a new group some time ago, and he was disgraced. None of them had ever faced each other face to face with the new group.

Hearing that the main force of the new regiment was only 5,000 people, the corners of everyone's mouths curled, revealing a smile full of contempt, and some people laughed directly.

There is no doubt that they are starting to be arrogant again.

However, they also have arrogant capital, all the way to the northwest of Jin, and they have fought all the battles of an elite infantry division of the Jin Sui Army with one wing.

And now they have a division, a heavy artillery wing, and a cavalry wing, but the Eighth Route Army has only five or six thousand people. With such a big disparity in strength, they saw that when they arrived on the battlefield, even if one person was foaming at the mouth, they could easily kill them.

The proud army will be defeated...... The Chief of Staff is very clear about this.

His brows furrowed, and he did not remind these subordinates, but continued to report.

"The more than 5,000 Eighth Route Army is divided into five battalions, which are strong in combat and well-equipped. Each main battalion has as many as a thousand people, armed with nine heavy machine guns, six mortars, four infantry guns, and in terms of firepower, one of their battalions is already comparable to one of our infantry brigades! ”

"As for combat effectiveness, the most intuitive manifestation is that they have a battle on the battlefield to kill one of our mixed brigades. So. Next, the heavy encirclement and suppression of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, all the encirclement and suppression troops cannot act alone as a brigade, giving the new regiment a chance to kill us! ”

"At present, the four main battalions of these units are stationed in four county towns, and one main battalion is mobile. The intelligence services have figured out where the four main battalions are located. As for the regimental headquarters of the new regiment and the main battalion of the mobile, they are stationed near the county seat of Xiangfen! ”

Sitting opposite the chief of staff, who was also the only brigade commander of the division, he directly said: "Division commander, this battle is very simple, not as difficult as imagined...... I really don't know why the previous imperial army failed again and again when it encircled and suppressed a new regiment, and even lost Linfen City! ”

"My idea is that the troops will be divided into five routes and directly attack the ten main battalions of the new regiment and their regimental headquarters. As long as these main forces are eliminated, the remaining local troops and guerrillas will not be worried......"

As soon as the brigade commander finished speaking, several wing commanders expressed their support.

In their opinion, this is the most direct and easiest way to take out the new group.

However, Lieutenant General Ito did not express his opinion, staring at the information in his hand with a calm face, his face unfazed, as if he had not heard their conversation.
