"Staff Officer Zhou, how many troops around us have not participated in the battle!" Wang Ping asked, staring at the sketch on the table.

"Battalion Commander Xiong's troops, Battalion Commander Xiao's troops, Battalion Commander Yan's troops, Battalion Commander Zhou's troops, and Battalion Commander Hong's troops! There are eight or nine main battalions left, newly formed battalions, and independent battalions that have not come over in Linfen City! Staff Officer Zhou replied immediately.

The confident smile on Wang Ping's face became stronger, and he replied very affirmatively: "Enough!" ”

"Enough...... Regardless of the combat effectiveness of these troops, at least their combined strength has exceeded 10,000 people! ”

"Order, Yan Song and Zhou Xutian's 37th Battalion, the newly formed battalion, and the independent battalion, immediately advance to the Japanese division headquarters and launch an attack on the Japanese division and regiment headquarters!"

"There is an infantry wing and a guard unit of the Japanese army here, with a total strength of more than 4,000 people, and they are all elite, and a hard attack is definitely not an opponent."

"Therefore, during the battle, the heavy artillery battalion will unconditionally cooperate with your actions!"

"Tell Wang Binhe that the devil's heavy artillery group has been taken down by us, and the devil has no weapons in his hands that can threaten him. Therefore, none of the heavy artillery battalions could retreat until dawn. Send artillery observers to follow the two battalions and provide them with artillery support at any time! ”

"The whole battle is strictly under unified command, and it is not required to take down the headquarters of the devil division, but we must open them up and let the Japanese troops from other directions come over to reinforce them!"

"Hong Ruijun led the team to attack the Japanese forward troops, and strive to kill the puppet army's brigade!"

"Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe are waiting in hiding near the Japanese army's baggage troops, and the division headquarters is attacked, and the troops will definitely go to the rescue. Your task is to wait for the infantry reinforcement division headquarters of the Japanese palace, and immediately launch a surprise attack to take down the Japanese baggage troops! ”

"In order to avoid accidents, I will ask the chief of staff to transfer all the remaining combat vehicles of the armored assault battalion over to reinforce them!"

"The battle there is under unified command by Xiao Yunshan, and Xiong Changhe is responsible for assisting!"

Staff Officer Zhou immediately reminded: "Regiment commander, in this way, we will have no reserves in our hands!" ”

"And there is also an infantry wing and two infantry brigades between the Japanese forward troops and the heavy artillery positions, and we don't have the strength to attack them!"

"More than two thousand little devils, no matter where the reinforcements are, they will cause us great pressure!"

Wang Ping replied with a confident face: "Who said we don't have reserves in our hands?" ”

"The troops in the hands of the chief of staff are our reserves!"

"They are now on the defensive, as long as the heavy artillery is transferred, one battalion is enough!"

"As for the two infantry brigades you just proposed, report them to the chief of staff now, and let the chief of staff transfer troops to drag them down!"

The headquarters of the Japanese division, Lieutenant General Kato, did not know that a great storm was sweeping towards him.

At this time, he had only one thought in his heart, to quickly recapture the lost heavy artillery.

In order to achieve this goal, he had already urged the chief of staff in front of him more than once to check the situation.

"Chief of Staff, are the counterattack forces not yet in place? If it doesn't go any further, the Eighth Route Army will transfer all the heavy artillery that it has stolen. What is the use of us when the time comes to recapture a heavy artillery position without artillery? Lieutenant General Kato couldn't help but remind again.

This time his order was already impatient and murderous!

"Woo woo woo~"

As soon as the chief of staff was about to give the order, a loud screech of shells across the sky was heard.

The face of the artillery staff officer of the command suddenly turned white, and he shouted: "Heavy artillery, the heavy artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army are flying towards us~ Commander of the protection division!" ”

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Dozens of guards rushed into the headquarters, and as soon as they escorted the commander of the Kato Division, a violent explosion sounded near them, shaking the ground and shaking their ears.

"Get out of here, back off!" The artillery staff shouted!

"The division headquarters is right on the edge of the range of the heavy artillery units of the Eighth Route Army...... A retreat of 500 meters is beyond the effective range of heavy artillery! ”

Without waiting for the order of the commander of the Kato Division, the captain of the guard ordered his subordinates to move to the rear in a crowd.

Taking advantage of the gap in shelling, after a full ten minutes, more than a hundred people moved out of the range of heavy artillery.

As soon as the commander of the Kato Division, who had a calm face, took a breath, one of his subordinates rushed over: "Sir, the forward troops report that they have been attacked by at least two thousand Eighth Route Army!" ”

"There are only one or two infantry squadrons there, and the rest are all sappers and imperial troops, and there are no heavy weapons, and the troops have suffered great losses!"

"Nani?" Kato's face was very ugly.

scolded loudly: "What does the Eighth Route Army want to do? Are you going to fight us tonight? ”

The chief of staff next to him reminded: "Division commander, the next road must have also been damaged by the Eighth Route Army, if there are no sappers and puppet troops, we will not be able to repair the road." At least the sapper wing can't afford to lose too much! ”

The commander of the Kato division immediately ordered: "The closest to them is the Matsumoto United!" ”

"The Matsumoto Wing also has a semi-infantry brigade, let them immediately reinforce the forward troops and protect the safety of the Engineer Wing!"

Before his subordinates could give orders, another operational staff officer rushed over.

"Sir, Matsumoto Wing reports that they are being attacked by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Da Da Da ......"

Before the head of the Kato division could react, a very dense gunfire rang in his ears.

A lieutenant followed and rushed over: "Sir, a large number of Eighth Route Corps have appeared around the division headquarters and are attacking us!" ”

"They have heavy artillery cover, and we have a lot of losses."

The chief of staff next to him immediately made a judgment: "Division commander, decisive battle, the Eighth Route Army definitely intends to fight us in a decisive battle tonight!" ”

"It is suggested that all the surrounding troops be ordered to concentrate on the division and regiment headquarters, (1) the division and regiment headquarters will form a defensive line as the center, hold the position to the death, and fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army!"

Lieutenant General Kato did not speak with a calm face, and asked the chief of staff after a long time.

"What other troops are there that haven't been attacked!"

"The Baggage Wing and the Ida Wing that protects the Baggage Wing!" The chief of staff immediately replied.

"I see!" Commander Kato replied with a look of sudden realization.

"Don't you think it's very strange that the Baggage Wing isn't being attacked? Our ammunition, weapons, food, all in the baggage wing. The Eighth Route Army did not let such a force attack, but attacked our main force, and fought hard with the main force, this is not the combat style of the Eighth Route Army all along! ”

The chief of staff immediately replied: "The baggage wing is also protected by two infantry brigades, and it is not so easy for the Eighth Route Army to attack even if it wants to take the baggage wing!" The chief of staff explained.

Kato sneered and asked rhetorically, "What if we transfer those two infantry brigades?" ”

The chief of staff was startled at first, and then suddenly realized that he shouted: "Attack the west from the east, division commander, you mean that the Eighth Route Army is attacking the east and the west, and it will fight a decisive battle with us on the surface, but in fact it is to take down our baggage wing!" ”

"I can't rule it out!" Commander Kato affirmed.
