At ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Ping rushed to the former enemy headquarters outside Linfen City, which had been prepared in advance.

"Regiment commander, except for the heavy artillery battalion, several mountain artillery companies will not be able to rush over at night, and the other troops are all in place and are resting in the hiding spots designated for them by the regiment headquarters!" Seeing Wang Ping coming in, an operational staff officer ran over and reported.

"What about casualties?" Wang Ping was very satisfied with the result and asked.

"After fighting for one night, the casualties of the troops will definitely not be small!"

The combat staff officer hesitated and replied: "Yes, regimental commander!" ”

"The greatest losses were the fourth, fifth, and sixth main battalions, independent battalions, and newly formed battalions under the command of the chief of staff!"

"The 9th and 10th main battalions, newly formed battalions, and independent battalions of the forward units of the Japanese puppet army also suffered considerable losses. However, the formation of the troops is still there! ”

"According to statistics, all the losses of the whole regiment add up to more than 5,800 people, of which the 5th Independent Battalion, the 4th Battalion of the new formation, the 10th Independent Battalion, and the 9th Battalion of the main force suffered the greatest losses, with almost half of the casualties!"

"However, our results were also very large, and the equipment of the Japanese heavy artillery wing, whether good or bad, we all dragged back. The commander of the heavy artillery battalion has already arranged for someone to inspect it. Eight of the twelve large-caliber mountain guns remained intact...... Thirty of the thirty-six large-caliber howitzers are intact and ready for use in no time! ”

"In addition, the ten heavy guns that were blown up, as long as he is given time, he can repair at least five of them through dismantling and reorganization!"

"We use small-caliber mortars for the Japanese heavy artillery positions, and the destructive power of the heavy artillery is very limited!"

"Excellent! Ordered Wang Binhe to leave the artillery alone. After dark, he immediately rushed to Linfen with a heavy artillery battalion. Tonight, his heavy artillery battalion will also sing the leading role! ”

Two hours later, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong also arrived here.

Also coming over was Li Wen, the captain of the direct team.

Seeing the smile on Li Wen's face, Wang Ping immediately realized that the task he had given to his direct team had been completed.

Sure enough, before he could speak, Li Wen reported with a smile: "The regiment commander, the direct team, the reconnaissance company, successfully completed the task!" ”

"With the cooperation of the intelligence department, we took out a total of four Japanese task forces, each of which had more than 50 people, one-third of whom were Japanese agents and two-thirds were traitors. Completely equipped and dressed up in the Jin Sui Army, doing anything wrong in our base area! ”

"I know there's no task that can stump your direct team!" Wang Ping was happy to answer.

"How about it, can the direct team and the reconnaissance company still fight~ If you can, you will participate in the decisive battle against the devil Kato Division tonight. With the two of you in the fight, our new regiment will definitely be strengthened, and the odds of victory will increase a lot. ”

Li Wen immediately replied: "Please rest assured, the regiment commander is directly under the team, the reconnaissance company, and can participate in the battle at any time!" ”

Then he added: "In addition, I have another piece of information here that I hope you will pay attention to, Commander!" ”

"The strength of a corps of the Jin Sui Army has always followed behind the Japanese army, although the strength of a division has been divided along the way, and they are stationed in important villages and towns and county towns along the line. However, this corps still had two divisions of troops following behind the Japanese army! ”

"I estimate that the ultimate goal of these Jin Sui troops is the Linfen City in front of us!"

Wang Ping replied with a calm face: "Our Chief Yan is worthy of being the Emperor of the Soil of Shanxi, and he is good at calculation!" ”

"Cooperate with the Japanese and take Linfen City without a single soldier. Then take Linfen City as the center, take the surrounding areas step by step, and finally drive our new regiment out of the southwest of Shanxi! ”

"I know how Jin Suijun cooperated with the Japanese!" Li Wen said suddenly.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's food!"

"We followed this Jin Sui army for two days, and after confirmation, they carried at least 10 million catties of grain."

"There are only more than 20,000 people in an army, and they eat 50,000 catties of grain in one day. A full 10 million catties of grain is enough for them to eat for more than half a year. There is no need for the Jin Sui army to carry so much food, so I judge that this food must be for the little devils, and it will be traded with the Japanese army in Linfen City today and tomorrow! ”

"Jin Suijun took over Linfen City from the Japanese, and 10 million catties of grain will be given to the Japanese, a good plan!" Wang Ping replied with a sudden understanding.

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong frowned and asked, "Then tonight, we, the Jin Sui Army, and more than 10,000 Japanese, aren't all here!" ”

"Regiment commander, the Japanese of the two divisions are staring at us and the Japanese are fighting in Linfen City, will there be any accidents!"

Including last night's battle, Wang Ping has never considered the Jin Sui army behind the Japanese.

Now, after being reminded by the chief of staff, Wang Ping became worried.

The purpose of these Jin Sui troops going deep into the base area is for Linfen City, and now that Linfen City is in front of them, no one dares to guarantee whether they will attack at a critical moment and intervene sideways.

If that's the case, the situation will be messed up tonight.

Li Wen next to him was anxious: "Regiment commander, chief of staff, you must not let the Jin Sui army occupy Linfen City!" ”

"You don't know, the division of the Jin Sui Army was stationed in the villages and towns along the line, and the first thing it did was to recruit ordinary people to build garrisons and fortifications for them, and then put up a recruitment sign!"

"The recruitment of the Jin Sui Army is to pay the army, and the Jin Sui Army has a great influence in Shanxi, and there are really many ordinary people who have signed up for the Jin Sui Army in a few days. I'm worried that if this goes on like this for a long time, it won't be long before the people there will only recognize the Jin Sui Army and not our Eighth Route Army, and the Jin Sui Army will also take root there, and we can't get rid of them if we want to! “

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong immediately asked: "Does the political commissar know about this situation?" ”

"I know that the political commissar has arranged for political cadres to go deep into these villages and towns to do their work. The Jin Sui army did not allow troops to enter these villages and towns, but the local cadres, especially the local cadres, had no reason to stop them from returning home. ”

"However, there is a situation that has not yet had time to report to the political commissar: one night when we were monitoring a regimental commander of the Jin Sui Army, we heard a piece of information that the Jin Sui Army began to contact the landlords and gentry of those villages and towns to form a new local government to use to compete with the anti-Japanese government in our base area!"

"Those local cadres are already on their way over, we must prepare in advance!"

Zhong Chenggong and Li Wen shifted their eyes to Wang Ping almost at the same time.

Both of them are soldiers, so it's okay for them to fight, but there's no way to engage in political struggle.

Wang Ping did not speak with a calm face, and only replied after a long time: "The Jin Suijun formed a government in the name of the Second War Zone, and we have no reason to oppose it. Don't forget, Chief Yan still has the title of chairman of the Shanxi Provincial Government on his head!

"Leave that alone for now, let's fight tonight first. After the fight, we will deal with the Jin Sui army well! ”
