"General, we have lost contact with the stronghold of Fengyun Town, and I am worried that the stronghold has been broken by the Eighth Route Army!" The chief of staff walked into the war room and hesitated to report.

The most feared thing in his heart became a reality, and Major General Matsumoto's face suddenly became gloomy.

Frowning, he ordered: "Send a telegram to the reinforcements immediately: speed up and reinforce the stronghold of Fengyun Town." I want to know how the new regiment took the stronghold of Fengyun Town, which was heavily defended by our troops! ”

"Hey!" The chief of staff replied with a heavy face.

After almost two hours, Matsumoto finally received a call back from reinforcements.

After confirming the news that the stronghold of Fengyun Town had really been taken and the turret had been destroyed, Major General Matsumoto was stunned for half a minute before he reacted.

The casualties of more than three hundred devils are nothing to Matsumoto, who has five or six thousand people? What really worries him is the skyrocketing combat power of the new regiment.

Half a month ago, the new regiment could only kill at most one infantry squad of the imperial army in one night.

And now, a reinforced squadron and two garrison squads and five companies of the Imperial Allied Army are no opponents.

The fall of the stronghold in Fengyun Town made Matsumoto realize that all the strongholds in the entire Linfen territory were no longer safe, even though he had ordered the defenders of all the small strongholds to move to medium and large strongholds.

Especially after learning that the new regiment had used infantry artillery and other heavy weapons at the stronghold of Fengyun Town, this judgment was even more certain.

"General, the troops in the mountains must be transferred out!" Last night, one of the staff officers who advocated stopping the sweep once again offered his opinion.

"The combat effectiveness of the new regiment is too strong, and all of us underestimate their true strength. According to the intensity of their attack on one of our large strongholds overnight, in a few days, all our strongholds outside Linfen City will fall! ”

"When the time comes, if we want to restore these strongholds and restore local law and order, we will definitely pay a big price!"

"And when the new regiment is attacking our strongholds, because we have limited troops, it is completely to give the other side a chance to break us!"

"We are running out of troops, and the total number of troops in all the strongholds outside the city is only more than six hundred. If these people are lost again, we can only draw troops from the main force to replenish the major strongholds. At that time, we will have even fewer mobile troops at our disposal that we can use to encircle and suppress the new regiment! ”

"Also, the troops I touched into the mountains have only brought ten days of combat provisions, and now half of the time has passed, and they will have to retreat after holding out for three more days at most. Now the retreat is only three days in advance, but it can save us at least three strongholds and hundreds of imperial soldiers outside the mountains! ”

This time, the deputy chief of staff, who spoke out against it yesterday, did not speak.

There were more than 800 puppet troops in one night, and more than 2,000 people in three nights. Even if the Linfen garrison brigade had sufficient troops, it would not be able to withstand such a big loss.

Major General Matsumoto quickly decided: "We must immediately get rid of the situation where there are no troops available outside the mountain, and focus on encircling and suppressing the new main force outside the mountain." ”

"As for the remnants of the new regiment left behind in the mountains, there is no cooperation from the troops outside the mountain, and there is no new regiment commander Wang Ping. We just need to hold the blockade and leave them to fend for themselves! ”

"Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the troops entering the mountain, stop the sweep, and withdraw from the mountain!"

"Leave a brigade to strengthen the blockade line, and after learning that we have withdrawn our troops, I fear that the new regiment will take the opportunity to retract back to the mountains with a large amount of food and supplies captured from us!"

"Since you're out, and you've brought us so many casualties, don't go back!"

"Another brigade, divided into two, carrying a radio station, moving directly in the direction of Fengyun Town, stealthily standby!"

"As soon as they come out again, press them down and encircle them!"

The commanders of the third company, Yang Huping and Li Wen, were both injured.

Because of continuous combat, there is little rest. The two tired people were much less vigilant on the battlefield, and then they were hit by a counter-ambush by the devil special forces on the battlefield, not to mention the loss of more than half of the troops, and one of each person's arms was broken.

Although the wound was already bandaged, the bright red blood continued to seep out of the bandage due to constant travel and exercise.

"Comrade Li Wen, I have 18 people left in my hands, and this is the result of the battalion commander adding 6 veterans and 6 recruits to me. If the devils continue to press us so hard and press us to fight, at most they will hold on until tomorrow night, because the comrades are too tired from continuous fighting. ”

"There are only three of me left, and I'm very tired, so I can't hold on for long!" Li Wen replied in a heavy tone.

Then the conversation changed and continued: "It's really not good, we can only hide and hide with the devil in this mountain." ”

"However, with the tracking methods of the devil's special forces, if we simply dodge, the battalion commander will be found by the devil in two days at most!"

"No way!" Yang Huping immediately objected.

"Battalion commander, they must not be found by devils, there are dozens of wounded there, all old comrades. Once found by the devils, they will definitely be slaughtered! ”

"It's a big deal, we're fighting with the devil!"

Speaking of which, neither of them is anymore, spark.

Close your eyes with a calm face and seize the last bit of time before dawn to rest.

The break was short, and the two men with dark circles hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of dry food and began to organize their equipment.

The same goes for the dozen or so warriors around, everyone is very quiet, tidying up their equipment, or eating dry food to replenish their strength.

After a long period of continuous combat, and living to this day, the veteran has turned into a real elite. The recruits also unwittingly become veterans. These preparations don't need to be reminded by Yang Huping at all, and they have done a good job.

"Snort......" At this moment, the sound of feet stepping on leaves suddenly came.

Yang Huping's face changed, and he quickly put the rifle in his hand and loaded the bullet.

Fortunately, as the sound got closer, they heard the signal agreed in advance.

"It's the comrade who spies on the devil is back, don't be nervous!" Yang Huping said with a long sigh of relief.

Soon, an equally tired warrior rushed over. Although his face was very tired, Yang Huping saw excitement on his face.

"Company commander, good news, the devil has retreated!"

"They started eating breakfast as soon as it was dawn, and I thought they were going to continue to encircle us. But after eating, not only did they not start sweeping, but they began to pack supplies and equipment and began to retreat outside the mountain! ”

"Sure enough, there is good news back!" Yang Huping shouted loudly in his heart.

But it didn't show itself.

After a few days of fighting, he realized that the devil was also very cunning, and that this was a conspiracy.
