"Regiment commander, how are we going to fight devils tonight......" At the dinner table, Battalion Commander Li of the newly formed fourth battalion was eating white-flour steamed buns.

The company commanders of several battalions next to him discussed the same, and at the same time focused their eyes on Wang Ping.

"The old rule is to kill and injure a large number of devil troops...... Wang Ping did not hide it.

"The fourth battalion of the invalids is still dealing with the devils who reoccupied Songshan Pass~"

"We are here to deal with the second infantry brigade of the devil eight kilometers away, the chief of staff is to deal with the third infantry brigade of the devil, and the cavalry battalion is sending reinforcements! It is not required to take down the devils of these three brigades. However, in one night, they must take out at least one of their brigades! ”

"Aren't all the ammunition we captured a few days ago still there, take out a third of the ammunition to fight this battle, don't be afraid to waste ammunition, even if we use a hundred rounds to kill only a little devil, we will fight this battle ......"

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lieutenant General Fujino had already returned to his room to rest, and on duty in the war room was a deputy chief of staff.

Suddenly, a radio station in the telecommunications room sounded the screeching sound of receiving and receiving telegrams, which lasted less than a minute, and the operator took off his headphones, picked up the telegram he had just translated, and rushed to the war room.

"Sir, the Fourth Brigade that took over Songshan Pass is urgent, they are attacked by the Eighth Route Army!"

"The Eighth Route Army is equipped with a large number of mountain artillery, mortars, and infantry artillery, with strong firepower and great losses of troops......"

"Also, the Eighth Route Army launched an attack from behind them, and it is not clear whether there will be troops in their base area to cooperate and attack our Songshankou garrison inside and outside!"

"Eight grid tooth road, why is this trick again!" The deputy chief of staff roared with rage.

But soon he calmed down: "No! ”

"During the day, the cavalry brigade and aviation clearly searched, and there was no main force of the Eighth Route Army in our occupied area~ Now so many people suddenly appeared, who can tell me where they came from and how they escaped the search of our cavalry brigade and aviation.

Several combat staff officers all looked at each other with expressions on their faces, not knowing how to answer.

"Sir, the Songshankou garrison is in an emergency!" A communications staff officer suddenly came in, breaking the solemn atmosphere of the war room!

"Songshankou was also attacked by the Eighth Route Army in the direction of the new regiment's base area, and they were equipped with mortars......"

"The losses of the Fourth Brigade were very large, because the mountain artillery squadron was not strengthened, and from the beginning they were pressed and beaten by the Eighth Route Army and were in urgent need of reinforcements!"

The deputy chief of staff scolded angrily: "Reinforcements? Now there are reinforcements there to reinforce them! ”

"I'll report to the division commander immediately, this matter is too big, and the division commander must make a decision!"

In less than five minutes, Lieutenant General Fujino rushed into the war room.

Without waiting for the deputy chief of staff to speak, he asked, "Have the other three infantry brigades in this area been attacked......

"I'll send a telegram to inquire right away!" Although it was not clear why Fujino would ask such an irrelevant question, the deputy chief of staff reacted immediately and rushed to the telecommunications room next to him.

Before he could break out of the war room, a communications staff officer broke in and almost collided with him.

"Sir, the second brigade is in a hurry, they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army is equipped with infantry guns, mortars, and the firepower is very strong, but they can withstand it!"

Before Lieutenant General Fujino could catch his breath from the shock of the news, another communications staff officer rushed in, still with a little panic on his face.

"Sir, the Third Brigade reported that they were attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army~"

"What's the matter, what is the cavalry brigade doing to eat, doesn't it mean that there is no main force of the Eighth Route Army in this occupied area? Where did the Eighth Route Army, which is now attacking us, come from! I need an explanation, otherwise, the captain of the cavalry brigade will apologize directly to His Majesty the Emperor! Lieutenant General Fujino turned directly into an angry lion, staring at his subordinates and yelling.

The deputy chief of staff next to him hesitated for a few seconds and reminded: "Division commander, the responsibility must be investigated." After all, it was because of their negligence that our three infantry brigades were attacked. However, the first thing to be solved now is a telegram from the Matsuyamaguchi garrison asking for help! ”

"They didn't strengthen the mountain artillery squadron, and they didn't have a stronghold to hold on, so they definitely couldn't hold out for too long under the front and rear attacks of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Let them break through now and give up Songshan Pass!" Fujino made a decision without thinking about it!

"Now for us, the most important thing is the troops, without the troops, no matter how big the territory is, it will be taken by the new regiment. As long as we keep our troops, after dawn, all the lost territory can be recaptured under the cover of aviation! ”

"What about the other two infantry brigades?" The Deputy Chief of Staff continued to ask!

"Since you can hold it, then hold your ground for the time being!" Lieutenant General Fujino replied with a calm face.

The deputy chief of staff proposed: "Do you want to order the first brigade to attack, divide it into two to reinforce the two brigades, maybe it is possible to flank the front and rear and kill the Eighth Route Army attacking us!" ”

The proposal is very tempting and very feasible.

After the deputy chief of staff finished speaking, he looked at Lieutenant General Fujino with anticipation, thinking that the division commander would definitely agree.

However, Fujino's gloomy and solemn face did not fluctuate without any expression at all times.

Shaking his head and replying: "No, the first brigade can't move!" ”

"Do you know why we've been so passive in the past few days of fighting? A very important reason is that we can't figure out the strength and traces of the other party! ”

"The cavalry brigade searched for a day yesterday and did not find the Eighth Route Army that was attacking us. Can you guarantee that there are only these Eighth Route Armies that are now exposed in this occupied area? ”

"If there are other Eighth Route Army, will they prepare a pocket formation outside our new regiment station and kill the first brigade that has left the station!"

"Don't forget, last night, the Eighth Route Army dispatched a powerful cavalry unit, and until now, this cavalry unit has not been exposed."

Beads of sweat the size of beans immediately appeared on the forehead of the deputy chief of staff, and he said with palpitations: "It's still the division commander, you are thoughtful, and you will immediately go and give an order: the Songshankou garrison will break through and retreat, and several other brigades will stick to standby!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Lieutenant General Fujino suddenly stopped the deputy chief of staff, who wanted to leave.

frowned, with an expression of wanting to say something.

"The Songshan Pass garrison can't retreat?" Fujino hesitated and struggled for a long time before he could make a decision.

"Not retreating?" The deputy chief of staff asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief.

"However, judging from the current situation, they have only one way to die if they stick to Songshan Pass!"

Speaking of this, the deputy chief of staff suddenly reacted: "I know...... Division commander, you are worried about the cavalry units of the new regiment. If the troops leave Songshan Pass and are attacked by cavalry troops, they will definitely be wiped out! ”
