After the Japanese occupied the town of Hirata yesterday, it became the territory of the devils, and a total of more than 40 Japanese puppet troops guarded here.

The battle from a few kilometers away also attracted their attention.

The captain of the devil's second lieutenant subconsciously wanted to send troops to reinforce the main force in front, but there were too few troops around him, and when this amount of troops reached the front line, maybe even the main force of the Eighth Route Army would be killed without seeing it.

After hesitating for a long time, the second lieutenant decided to stand by on the spot.

At three o'clock in the morning, the arrival of more than 200 devils broke the quiet atmosphere of Ping'an Town.

After learning that they were going to reinforce their own brigade, although he had few troops at hand, the second lieutenant resolutely decided to take his troops with him to reinforce the captain.

What the second lieutenant did not expect was that less than a kilometer from the town they had left the town when they got into the pocket formation that the 3rd Independent Battalion had prepared for them.

The total strength of the Japanese Army's Third Brigade has been sharply reduced from more than 800 a few hours ago to less than 500 today.

Faced with a simultaneous attack in four directions of the new regiment, all he could do was to order the troops to hold their positions to the death.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the telegram from the division command came!

Reinforcements from a reinforced squadron came, and they were under their command.

The battle has been fought for so long, and the captain has figured out the strength of his opponent even if he is a fool.

Outside the garrison, there were seven or eight hundred troops.

At the beginning, because of their own carelessness, they let them kill the counterattack force they sent out, a reinforced squadron.

Now that I have reacted, I will never allow this kind of thing to happen again.

Not only that, but after learning that he had a reinforced squadron that could rush to the scene at any time, a very large counterattack was directly brewed in the captain's mind.

Now he is directing the troops to carry out the first steps of the entire counterattack plan.

By holding the position to the death, the strength of the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army was consumed little by little, and by the way, they were dragged out of the position!

When reinforcements from a reinforced squadron arrived, he could direct the troops to carry out the second part of the counterattack plan.

Attack inside and outside, take out the Eighth Route Army that is attacking you, and kill them!

"Da Da Da ......"

The hopeful captain didn't wait for reinforcements, but he did wait for a faint burst of gunfire!

"It's not good, it's the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the reinforcements, and the reinforcements either ran into their blocking troops or were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army!" The captain's heart jumped, and he frowned.

"But there's our rear!" The adjutant asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief.

"The villages and towns in the back were swept by us one after another, and it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to be in them. Even if there were, it was a straggler, how could it threaten the reinforcements of one of our reinforced squadrons? ”

"Where did such a dense gunfire come from!" The captain asked rhetorically.

Then he frowned and fell into deep thought, and after a few seconds judged: "The Eighth Route Army that attacked our reinforcements is armed with at least three heavy machine guns!" ”

"Do you want to send troops to reinforce them immediately?" The adjutant reminded.

The captain shook his head and replied, "Wait a minute!" ”

At a glance, the expression on the captain's face did not change much. However, his heart was full of worries.

However, no matter how worried you are, you can only be a ninja.

There are only more than 400 people left in his hands, and the combat unit is only more than 300 people in two squadrons.

Relying on the garrison for defense, relying on the superiority of equipment and a sufficient amount of ammunition reserves, although the Eighth Route Army outside has the advantage of troops, it cannot help itself for the time being.

It can be seen from the attack just now.

If the Eighth Route Army, which had the advantage of troops, launched an attack desperately, it would definitely be able to kill the station.

However, they didn't.

There is only one possibility, and they don't want the casualties of the troops to be too large, so they surround themselves and slowly consume themselves through this tentative attack.

This situation is a balance for the whole situation.

If you send troops out of the garrison, then this balance will be broken.

Holding on to the garrison, it was difficult for the Eighth Route Army to kill and injure a large number of its own troops. However, if you rush out to fight a field battle with the Eighth Route Army and change your offensive and defensive roles, the situation will be different, and the casualties of your own troops will definitely increase greatly.

At that time, not only will it not be able to rescue the reinforced squadron, but the reinforcements sent by itself will also be killed by the Eighth Route Army, and the garrison will be broken by the Eighth Route Army due to insufficient troops, and by that time, the entire brigade will be finished.

Therefore, at this moment, what he can do is to hold the station and keep his remaining more than 400 subordinates.

As for the reinforcements that were attacked, if they were no longer able to rescue, they could only watch them fend for themselves.

Of course, these words cannot be said explicitly, and can only be replaced by waiting a little longer.

The adjutant next to him reacted quickly, and then stared at the captain without speaking~

Half an hour later, the gunfire slowly stopped a few kilometers away. However, the gunfire outside the station did not mean to stop.

Lieutenant General Ito, the headquarters of the Japanese division in Linfen City, knew that tonight was the night of the counterattack of the new regiment, and it was also a critical moment for whether the imperial army under his command could regain the new regiment.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Ito, who returned to the war room, never left, but stared at the sand table and waited for the battle report from the front.

"Division commander, the sixth brigade is in an emergency~ It seems that something has happened!" The chief of staff, who hurriedly walked into the war room, hurriedly reported when he saw Lieutenant General Ito.

"The reinforcements are stationed closest to them, only five kilometers, but more than an hour has passed, and they still haven't seen the shadow of the reinforcements!"

"In addition, half an hour ago, a very dense burst of gunfire sounded along the route of reinforcements, mixed with the explosion of shells! They suspected that the imperial army reinforcing them was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and the whole army was annihilated! ”

"How so!" Lieutenant General Ito suddenly sat down in his chair and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Reinforcements were the key to turning defeat into victory tonight. If there is also a problem with the reinforcements, then in the face of the counterattack of the new regiment tonight, he will be completely defeated, and he will be defeated very badly!

But soon, hope was rekindled on Itochu's face.

"No, the only way to reinforce the troops was swept by our troops yesterday, not to mention the main force of the Eighth Route Army, there is not even a single ordinary person, how can there be troops to completely annihilate one of our reinforced squadrons, there must be something wrong with this!"

The chief of staff immediately replied: "Then I will immediately go and send them a telegram and let them find out!" ”

"Go now, if we really have the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the rear to ambush our reinforcements, then the other reinforcements are also dangerous, and they must be allowed to retreat immediately!"
