Before Huang Yuanqiang could react, Wang Ping spoke again.

"The fourth battalion will immediately return to its own station, and then send troops to take over all the defense areas of the second battalion. Political commissar, you should also arrange for the new 4th Battalion to replenish a sufficient amount of equipment and ammunition, so that they can quickly return to the station, and cooperate with the 4th Battalion to take over all the defense areas of the 2nd Battalion! ”

"The new second battalion will set off immediately with all the equipment and ammunition, and after joining up with Xiao Yunshan, bypass Linfen City and take Pu County, Daning County and other places for me!"

"Also, whether it is the second battalion or the third battalion, when they take these targets, they can't take the county seat, and all the county towns must be controlled by the devils."

"You definitely can't take the county seat!" Huang Yuanqiang finally reacted and said in a hurry.

"If the county seat is also taken down, then Linfen City will become an isolated city. Not only that, but the 30,000 Japanese troops left behind in the southwest of Shanxi will be completely isolated by our new regiment. If I were the commander of the devils, I would definitely not let any of the troops be cut off and become a lone army, that would be too dangerous! ”

Wang Ping affirmed: "Yes, the reason why these county towns cannot be taken is this meaning, let the Japanese army continue to occupy the county seats, so that at least on the surface these places are still under their control, it will not cause a strong backlash from the devils." ”

"What we need to do is to occupy the countryside, completely control the countryside, form a grassroots anti-Japanese regime, discover troops and anti-Japanese forces, and use the method of encircling the city from the countryside to compress the living space of the devils little by little, so that the devils' control over these places will exist in name only. As long as the timing is right, another corpse will send troops to take these county seats. ”

"In addition, I am also worried about a problem, now there is a division in the southwest of Shanxi between us and the Jin Sui Army in the Second War Zone. If we develop too fast and force the devils in the southwest of Jin to retreat, then we will have to directly face the Jin Sui army. ”

"When the time comes, the Jin Suijun will definitely not allow us to occupy such a large territory, and will definitely find a way to force us away...... Although we are the Eighth Route Army, we are also subordinate to the Second World War Zone, and their orders cannot but be obeyed, so there will be a lot of friction, which not only we do not want to see, but also the military region, and even the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army do not want to see it! ”

Huang Yuanqiang frowned and asked: "In this case, why do we still want to take several counties in the southwest of Linfen~ As long as we don't go over, then there is no problem?" ”

"Because sooner or later we have to take these county seats!" Wang Ping replied in surprise.

"To me, these counties are like bridgeheads between us and the World War II zone. Once we control these bridgeheads, even if the devils really withdraw their troops in the future, or are defeated by us, we can use these bridgeheads to negotiate with them to ensure that the existing old base areas are still in our hands! ”

"Also, the new regiment is already eight or nine thousand people, but we control Linfen and the four surrounding counties, and each county has to feed nearly 2,000 people on average, and we are also provided with a steady stream of soldiers, and the pressure on the common people is too great. If we can take down these four counties, in addition to controlling these four counties, our power and influence can also extend to the surrounding six or seven counties, so that even if our new regiment expands by another four or five thousand people, it will not put pressure on the people in the base areas, and it can even relieve them of pressure! ”

Huang Yuanqiang nodded in approval of Wang Ping's proposal, but his brow quickly furrowed.

Pointing to the map, he continued to ask: "The third battalion has been transferred, who is responsible for the safety of Xiangfen and Linfen...... Especially in Linfen, there are a large number of devil elites stationed in the city, and they may come out to sweep our base at any time, there must be a heavy army staring at Linfen City, as long as the devils come out, they will be defeated, at least they must be able to drag them down, and use guerrilla warfare, sports warfare, and field warfare to slowly consume them! ”

"Xiangfen will be handed over to Xiong Changhe!" Wang Ping decided.

"As for Linfen, hand it over to the assault battalion...... The assault battalion has been following the regiment headquarters for so long, it is time to go out and take charge alone, and their battalion commander Jin Kai also has this ability! ”

"The assault battalion was changed to the fifth battalion of the new 1st regiment, and Jin Kai was appointed deputy chief of staff of the new 1st regiment and deputy chief of staff of the military division. At the same time, based on the assault battalion, the new fifth battalion commander was formed, and the fifth battalion was garrisoned, all under the management of Jin Kai! ”

"As for the regimental headquarters mobile troops, when the guard battalion and the armored assault battalion are fully established, it will be at least 1,500 troops!"

Huang Yuanqiang's face slowly became hot, he was also shocked by Wang Ping's huge plan, and was moved, and his eyes lit up and he replied: "Commander, I'll give an order!" ”

"Now that the troops are all disrupted, it will take a long time just to gather troops, replenish equipment and ammunition. The sooner the order is issued, the sooner the troops will be able to set off, strive to achieve our strategic goal before the devils reflect it, and turn the idea of occupying the four counties into a reality. ”

"Wait a minute, I have one last order!"

"Since the defense area of the assault battalion is Linfen, and he is responsible for supervising the little devils in Linfen City, the more than 2,000 devils around the commander of the little devil division will be handed over to him to clean up!"

"Also, there are two devils left in the base area, and they will definitely find a way to withdraw from our base area with one army, and they will definitely not be able to stop it. When the devils joined forces, the troops of the four battalions were unified under the command of the chief of staff, and they fought until the devils retreated into Linfen City! ”

"There is also a battalion of Xiong Changhe, who has not moved for two days after the last raid. Now that the devils are fully withdrawing from our base area, the devils there will definitely retreat as well, so that he can seize the opportunity and fight another battle. ”

"Now the whole regiment has the most troops in his hands, the best equipment, and is operating in his own defense area. Such a good advantage cannot be left unused! ”

Lieutenant General Ito commanded the troops to set off after eating simple dry food and regaining some strength.

Especially after seeing the arrival of the air force, his confidence was even stronger, and a very relaxed smile appeared on his solemn face.

But the good times didn't last long, and the mighty procession, under the cover of the plane overhead, stopped after walking for less than an hour.

"Sir, the road ahead is damaged...... Although the damage is not very serious, the armored car will definitely not go! "Lieutenant General Ito had just come out of the armored car with a calm face, and a lieutenant communications officer rushed over to report.

"It must have been drafted by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army! Destroy the road, slow down our retreat, and buy time for the Eighth Route Army pursuing us! ”

The chief of staff's brows were directly furrowed into a big Sichuan character.

After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "Division commander~ Otherwise, we will directly abandon these armored vehicles and retreat to Linfen City on foot!" ”

"No way!" Lieutenant General Ito refused without hesitation.

"Our losses in this battle are already large enough, not only the loss of troops, but also the loss of more than sixty percent of heavy equipment...... If these armored vehicles are also abandoned, even if we successfully withdraw to Linfen, we will not be able to give an explanation to the front army! ”

After speaking, Lieutenant General Ito ordered with a calm face: "The baggage wing, the artillery unit, immediately go to the front to repair the road...... The infantry and armored corps coordinated with each other and were responsible for the guard, and we retreated while building roads! ”

"Contact our aviation over our heads, closely monitor all the roads behind us. Once the Eighth Route Army comes to kill you, attack directly and report to me! ”

"Order the 136th Wing, quickly move closer to me, the sooner the better~"

"As long as we join forces in one place, and there is a powerful military force that the Eighth Route Army cannot shake in the base area of the Eighth Route Army, we will be safe at that time!"
