After killing the devils, the Eighth Route Army, which was still alive on the position, carried the wounded and retreated to the nearest anti-artillery hole.

Justice Cheng Xiao and Chief of Staff Zeng Quan also followed Wang Ping's gaze to see this scene.

When the two of them showed puzzled expressions on their faces, Wang Ping replied directly in an ordered tone: "Contact Zhang Yunshan and give up the second line of defense immediately." Without the machine gun bunker, to continue to hold on is to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers in vain! ”

"I'll give the order right away!" Zeng Quan immediately picked up the phone and contacted Zhang Yunshan.

When he was about to put down the microphone, Wang Ping walked over directly and took it.

"Zhang Yunshan, I'm Wang Ping!"

"It's less than two hours before dark, you still have a line of defense, and it's impossible for the devil to give up the attack. So, you have a tough battle to fight next. Considering that the devil's offensive is too fierce and there are aircraft support, I allow you to hold on to the third line of defense for an hour and then give up! ”

"Also, after this battle, your second battalion will be quickly reorganized. All the recruits transferred to you will be replenished to you, and I must be reorganized into two full companies, and the three garrison companies will be compressed into one company for me, and I will be useful at night! ”

"Please rest assured, the regiment commander will ensure that the task is completed!" Zhang Yunshan was clearly heard in the earpiece first breathing a long sigh of relief before answering loudly.

As soon as they put down the phone, Cheng Xiao and Zeng Quan looked over.

Political Commissar Cheng Xiao opened his mouth first and asked, "Regiment Leader, is there any action at night!" ”

Wang Ping nodded noncommittally: "During the day, the little devils have planes and mountains to run, compared to them, we have no advantage at all!" ”

"But at night it's different, at least the little devil plane over our heads won't come."

"Although the artillery can still counterattack at night, the reaction speed is certainly much slower than during the day. This gave our artillery battalion a chance to counterattack. After arranging, it can not only kill and injure a large number of devils with artillery fire, so that the devils can also taste the taste of artillery coverage, but also transfer in time. After all, the artillery battalions are armed with light and easily transferable infantry and mountain guns! ”

"There is also the benefit of the evening, for the sunset who are not familiar with the terrain, at night, they become blind."

"But we are different, we know the terrain, even if it is dark, we know where to retreat, where to attack......"

"Commander, you want to attack the devil at night!" Zeng Quan immediately reacted, and asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Not only a night attack, but I also want to fight the devil a counterattack!" ”

"If you look at the map, there are rough slopes between our second and third lines of defense, and there is no place to set up camps. In addition, for the safety of the temporary camp at night, the devils will definitely put the station away from a safe distance relative to us! ”

"But look here!" Wang Ping pointed to an open space between the first and second lines of defense and analyzed.

"The terrain is flat, and once the Japanese take our third line of defense, it will be more than two kilometers away from our fourth line of defense, and there are still two lines of defense in the way. If you want to stay here temporarily, it is convenient and safe. So I'm sure that as long as the Japanese army takes our third line of defense, ninety percent of them will choose to camp here tonight! ”

Political Commissar Cheng Xiao was much more sensible, frowning and asking, "Commander, do you want to sneak attack the devil's station?" ”

"That's not right!" But after a few seconds, I dismissed the idea.

"It's too far away from our fourth line of defense, and there are two lines in between. Not to mention anything else, the infantry artillery in our hands alone cannot hit the shells, let alone mortars! ”

"Unless we move the artillery to the vicinity of the Japanese garrison, this is impossible. Although the infantry artillery was light, it was almost impossible to bypass the Japanese line of defense at night through several kilometers of forest. And even if you reach the destination, you can't retreat, eighty percent will be dumplings and wiped out by the Japanese counterattack troops, so it will be a bit more than worth the loss, not your Wang Ping's combat style. ”

"Or the commissar understands me!" Wang Ping affirmed.

"The devil station is indeed not my goal, thousands of puppet troops are gathered together, even if they are blind, it is a very powerful force. Let's just do this, we can't toss with them, don't lose your wife and soldiers! ”

"Although the devils are stationed here, there is a drawback, that is, it is too far away from the third line of defense!"

"This gives us a chance to counterattack the third line of defense and take it back from the little devils!"

"Impossible, the devil is not a fool, how can he let the fat in his mouth be easily snatched away by us! Commander, I think this idea is too risky. Political Commissar Cheng Xiao vetoed with a serious face without thinking about it.

"The devils have so many planes and artillery to support them, and it will cost hundreds of casualties to take a line of defense from us. We have nothing but a few infantry guns and mountain artillery, and the devils are strong in combat, and they must be very strong in defense, I can't imagine what a price we have to pay to recapture these lines of defense from the devils! ”

Wang Ping continued unmoved, and looked confident.

"Commissar, what if I can keep the casualties within a company? It's not worth the risk! ”

"An infantry company~" Cheng Xiao's brows immediately furrowed.

"The devils know that we are the best at night attacks, and the third line of defense is facing us, so it must be the place where the devils focus on defense."

Seeing Wang Ping nodded, Cheng Xiao continued to analyze: "According to my inference, the devil will arrange at least two infantry squadrons on this line of defense, and one battalion of the Imperial Army!" ”

Zeng Quan suddenly interjected: "Political commissar, are you mistaken!" ”

"The entire defense line is so big, we can only deploy two companies and three hundred people, where do the devils have so many troops? Two infantry squadrons plus one battalion of the Imperial Army, that is nearly seven hundred people. If the devils really put so many troops in the position, we don't have to attack, as long as we use artillery bombing, we can kill and injure more than a dozen of them with one shot! ”

"Not only the position, but also the hilltop high ground a hundred meters away. Most of the Japanese puppet troops I judged were back on the hilltop high ground not far from the defense line. ”

"Don't forget, in order to weaken the power of the devil's artillery bombardment and bombardment, our third line of defense directly abandoned the high ground on the top of the mountain and built it halfway up the mountain."

"After taking the defensive line, the defensive line doesn't mean anything to the devil. As long as the devils occupy the high ground on the top of the mountain, even if we send troops to recapture the defensive line, it will be in vain! ”

Zeng Quan replied with a sudden realization: "As long as the devils occupy the high ground on the mountain, they can use their firepower to control all the surrounding areas, including our defense line. ”

Cheng Xiao nodded affirmatively: "That's what it means." Therefore, to recapture the third line of defense, it is more direct to recapture the hilltop and high ground behind the defensive line. Just take it back, and the third line of defense is ours! ”
