"Regiment Commander, Battalion Commander Hong of the Guard Battalion is in an emergency!" Suddenly, the communications company commander rushed in and hurriedly sent a telegram to Wang Ping.

Just by glancing at the contents of the telegram, Wang Ping showed a very excited smile on his face.

"God really help me~ Chief of Staff, on the same day, that is, yesterday, the remaining troops of the Japanese puppet army in Linfen City dispatched a regiment of the Imperial Association Army and a reinforced squadron of devils, a total of 1,500 people to encircle and suppress the Hong Rui Army."

"Hong Ruijun has already fought with the Japanese puppet army. The meaning of the telegram sent to us is: In the face of the attack of the Japanese puppet army, do we need him to fight big or small! ”

"We must fight hard and strive to kill these Japanese puppet troops!" Zhong Chenggong already understood the deep meaning of Wang Ping's words, and immediately answered!

"Yes, it's going to be a big fight, it's best to kill them, and let Linfen City send more troops to encircle and suppress them!"

Xiangyan Village, the temporary headquarters of Hong Ruijun, the three company commanders were all waiting here, looking anxious.

Finally, the radio station in front of them moved, and the operator wearing headphones picked up a pencil and began to record. In less than five minutes, a telegraph full of messages appeared in front of me.

"Battalion commander, regimental headquarters order!" The operator put down the headset and handed the telegram to Hong Ruijun, who was waiting anxiously behind him!

"Battalion commander, what did the regiment commander say?" The deputy battalion commander next to him couldn't help but ask.

"Beat those little devils raised by bitches, try to kill them, and let Linfen City send more little devils to deal with us!" Hong Ruijun replied with excitement on his face.

This order is what he wants to see the most, he has been holding it here for almost half a month, Hong Ruijun wants to have a big battle with the little devil more than anyone else!

The company commander next to him was the most anxious. The remaining two companies have been expanded into battalions, and although the regimental headquarters has not yet been appointed, a deputy battalion commander will certainly not be able to escape. In front of the battle that was about to begin, a whole regiment of the puppet army came. According to tradition, at least half of the puppet army of this regiment will eventually join the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, as long as this battle is fought well, his company will definitely be expanded into a battalion by taking advantage of the situation.

He couldn't wait a little and immediately asked: "Battalion commander, how to fight, you give the order!" ”

"Yes, battalion commander, you give the order!" The other two company commanders immediately spoke.

The promotion of the new regiment is the most important thing to pay attention to combat merits, and as long as there are combat merits and ability, there are many precedents for directly being promoted from company commander to battalion commander.

Now that the unit has been expanded into battalions, they urgently need to prove their command ability to the regiment commander in battle, obtain combat merits, and then be promoted to battalion commander.

Hong Ruijun knew very well what everyone was thinking at this moment, and without hesitation, he directly ordered: "Before giving the order, I will tell you a good news!" ”

"The Japanese puppet army that attacked us was divided into three ways to sweep us, and each way of the sweeping troops had a puppet army with a reinforced battalion and a devil with a reinforced squad. What we need to deal with is the left flank and the Japanese puppet army in the center. As for the Japanese puppet army on the right flank, we don't have to worry about it, someone is going to clean it up! ”

"We still have reinforcements?" The instructor of the guard battalion asked rhetorically with a frown, a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

If the regimental headquarters really sent reinforcements over, it would be a distrust of the combat effectiveness of the guard battalion, and a distrust of himself and Hong Ruijun.

Hong Ruijun hurriedly shook his head and replied: "Instructor, don't worry, now the little devils occupy the area with the main force of our guard battalion, even if the regiment headquarters wants to send us reinforcements, they have no troops to send!" ”

"The reason why the Japanese puppet army on the right wing doesn't care about it is because the battalion commander of the puppet army on the right wing is our people, not only the battalion commander, but the three company commanders below and more than one-third of the soldiers are our soldiers!"

"Without further ado, I'll start giving orders directly!"

"The first company and the second company are responsible for dealing with the Japanese puppet army in the middle, I personally command them, and kill them in two days!"

"The third company is in charge of the Japanese puppet army on the left flank, and if you can kill them, you can kill them. If you can't kill them, drag them down, and when I kill the Japanese puppet army in the middle, I'll go over to reinforce you! ”

"On the battlefield, don't be polite to deal with the little devils, just kill them. But the puppet army will have to show mercy to their subordinates and try to capture them as much as possible! ”

Two days later, Lieutenant General Fujino, with more than 8,000 main forces, had penetrated more than 60 kilometers into the base area of the New First Regiment, burning four towns and more than 10 villages in succession, causing thick smoke to billowing everywhere in the base area. Wherever the little devils passed, all the villages and towns were burned to ashes by them!

At five o'clock in the morning, the mighty devil arrived on time to a village chosen by Fujino.

To Fujino's disappointment, the entire village remained empty.

Led by the guards into the best room in the village, and just as he was about to rest, the chief of staff followed.

"Division commander, the results and casualties of the night have been counted!"

Lieutenant General Fujino stared at the chief of staff and asked, "What was the result of last night?" ”

"It's not good, it's not as good as the day before yesterday!" The chief of staff hesitated to answer.

"According to statistics, we were only attacked by two companies of the Eighth Route Army last night, and it was a prepared sneak attack. Although our secret troops on the periphery arrived in time to attack them, they reacted equally quickly, did not fight us hard at all, and retreated as soon as they fought, killing less than a company of the Eighth Route Army! And ......"

"And what?" Fujino asked rhetorically with a frown.

"We also suffered a lot of casualties under their sneak attack, and directly lost two infantry squads!"

"In other words, the casualty ratio between us and the Eighth Route Army is one to one, or even lower!" Fujino was furious, staring at the chief of staff and asking rhetorically.

"Hey!" The chief of staff replied stubbornly.

"Eight Tooth Road!" Lieutenant General Fujino was completely furious.

"On the first night of entering their base area, the casualty ratio between us and the Eighth Route Army was one to three, only high, not low. It's only been a long time since it's become one-to-one. We have only eliminated a total of how many Eighth Route Army, and if we continue to fight according to this casualty ratio, even if we fight for a month, we will not be able to destroy many people, and we will suffer heavy casualties! ”

The chief of staff hurriedly replied: "Division commander, I feel that the tactics of the Eighth Route Army against us have changed!" ”

"Intelligence and aviation reconnaissance show that all the civilians within 50 kilometers around us have been evacuated by the Eighth Route Army, and no matter where we attack at night, they will not rush to fight with us because of covering the transfer of civilians!"

"As long as they don't mess up, we have a lot less chance of killing them in large numbers!"

Fujino had a calm face, staring at the map in front of him that had just been unfolded by the staff officer, and looked at it for a long time before he spoke.

"Yo Xi, your analysis is right, the commander of the Eighth Route Army is not a fool. Not only is it not stupid, but it is also a very difficult opponent! ”

"It's true that what they're doing now can minimize casualties, but there's a problem he's missing!"

"What's the problem?" The chief of staff immediately asked?

Fujino's face suddenly flashed with a hideous look, and then he ordered.

"Burn their villages and towns, they can always hide from us like this, but there will always be times when they can't hide. As long as they hide for a day and don't come out to fight us, then I will burn them for a day. I have been ordered that starting today, the cavalry brigade, under the cover of the air force, will be dispatched for four hours a day to burn all the villages and towns within a radius of 40 kilometers around the garrison! ”
