In the same way, it took the Japanese nearly two hours to take the fifth line of defense of the independent regiment.

At this time, it was just over an hour before it got dark. For safety, the devil plane, which had been cruising over the battlefield for nearly an hour, had to return to its nest.

Having lost air cover, Ono decisively ordered his troops to stop the attack and wait until after dawn on the third day.

"General, the losses have been counted, and we have a total of 621 casualties. However, there are only 205 people in the imperial army, and all the others are the imperial army! "The chief of staff of the brigade was happy to run over and report.

"Yo Xi!" Ono also had a rare smile on his face.

But it didn't last long before it reverted to its usual serious expression.

"At this rate of loss, tomorrow we will be able to take the last line of defense of the Independent Regiment with a loss of at most half an infantry squadron, and then have a decisive battle with the Independent Regiment, destroy them, and take revenge! However, tonight, we must be prepared for a night attack against the Eighth Route Army. We must learn the lesson of last night and not repeat it! ”

The chief of staff immediately replied, "Please rest assured, the same mistake will never be made a second time." ”

The atmosphere at the former enemy headquarters of the independent regiment was very bad, and the entire headquarters was shrouded in a solemn and tense atmosphere.

As soon as Chief of Staff Zeng Quan returned to the headquarters, Political Commissar Cheng Xiao asked: "Old Zeng, how are the casualties of the troops!" ”

"Huge!" Zeng Quan shook his head and replied.

"The casualty rate of the troops participating in the battle, whether veteran or new, has reached an astonishing seventy percent!"

"In addition, the fire companies of the two battalions were almost completely wiped out, and the infantry artillery company still had one cannon left, and most of the personnel were lost!"

"It's over!" These two words suddenly popped out of Cheng Xiao's mind.

"This time, our independent regiment will be crippled if not all the troops are destroyed! Nearly two thousand soldiers, just gone, the little devil is simply a beast! ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Xiao's body actually exuded a dignified murderous aura, and then he frowned and shouted at Wang Ping.

"Commander, didn't you say that tonight is the time for us to fight back? I have only one request, kill the devils, kill the most devils, and use the lives of the devils to avenge the sacrificed soldiers! Only in this way will I have the face to see those sacrificed soldiers, and only then will I have the face to see their families! ”

"Don't worry, political commissar, tonight, you will definitely let the devils on the other side taste the fate of the invaders!" Wang Ping replied in the affirmative.

Then he commanded everyone, "All right, let's get down to business." We have waited so long, and nearly 2,000 soldiers have died for the time to come. Therefore, tonight, the independent regiment below itself, all cheer up, fight a counterattack tonight, and no one can drop the chain! ”

After reminding everyone, Wang Ping directly began to give orders: "Chief of Staff, immediately contact Zhang Qing, the commander of the first battalion!" ”

"Dispatch a company, set off immediately, destroy the road, slow down the speed of the Japanese army's return to Laiyuan City, and force the Japanese infantry and baggage troops, and the artillery units to march separately!"

"Other troops, including the guard company and reconnaissance platoon, are hiding in the area of Luojiawan, waiting for new combat orders!"

"The cavalry company, in an hour's time, will be dispatched to attack the patrols and checkpoints arranged by the Japanese army around the mountain, and slow down their assembly!"

"What about us!" Zhang Yunshan, the commander of the second battalion, and Yan Song, the commander of the third battalion, stared at Wang Ping and asked.

Two afternoons and one night of fighting, the Separate Regiment lost all their men. If it comes to revenge and killing devils, the two of them must think more than anyone else in the independent group.

In Wang Ping's plan, both battalions had tasks.

But thinking of the casualties of the two battalions now, Wang Ping hesitated.

You can't fight all two battalions in one battle! I really put the troops together, and there will not even be seeds when the two battalions are reorganized in the future.

Zhang Yunshan's corpse saw Wang Ping's thoughts, and immediately asked for battle: "The regiment commander, the political commissar, the second battalion plus the four additional recruit companies, there are still about 200 people who can continue to fight." I formed a temporary company, and the rest remained at the station, along with more than a hundred wounded, as seeds for the reorganization of the second battalion. Therefore, our second battalion must participate in tonight's counterattack, even if more than 100 soldiers are exhausted, they must go to the battlefield to avenge the sacrificed soldiers! ”

Yan Song, the commander of the third battalion, immediately said: "I have compressed the first two companies of the third battalion into one company, and after adding some new recruits, the third battalion can come up with two full-fledged main companies, and ask the regiment commander and political commissar to give orders!" ”

"Okay, count you guys!" Wang Ping made a decisive decision.

Laiyuan City is in a small forest less than two kilometers away, and a tent is hidden in the forest, so outsiders can't see it at all.

At this time, the commander of the first regiment of the military sub-division, who was also the head of the former enemy headquarters that attacked Laiyuan City, was staring at the map with a serious face and giving combat orders.

"Comrades, the commander just sent us a telegram, tonight, we must take Laiyuan City, then take the capture, and quickly return to the base area!"

"Now I order, one regiment, one or two battalions, attack head-on, and with the cooperation of the inside, break through Laiyuan City and enter Laiyuan City. The 2nd Regiment attacked from the other three gates in battalion units. When the time comes, we will also have the cooperation of our troops hidden in the city. ”

"In order to disperse the limited defenders of Laiyuan City and disrupt their arrangement, we do not distinguish between the main attack and the feint attack in this attack, and all the siege troops are the main attack."

"The first regiment and three battalions immediately rushed to Shilipu to repair the blocking position and block the Japanese troops who rushed back from the direction of the independent regiment. It's eight o'clock in the evening, no matter when the devil comes back, the third battalion must nail me like a nail until five o'clock in the morning before retreating, and then retreat directly in the direction of the base area, pay attention to the little devil plane! ”

"The direct units of the two regiments are in reserve, ready to fight at any time!"

"Two artillery batteries, heavy machine gun batteries. The commander handed over to our mountain artillery company, disperse the support troops to attack the city! ”

"I'll give you an hour to prepare, and after an hour, launch an attack on time, strive for half an hour to enter Laiyuan City, and an hour to occupy the entire Laiyuan!"

The commander and chief of staff of the military division headquarters were not sleepy at all, staring at the map spread on the table and not moving.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, the two men looked up at the door of the war room at the same time.

As soon as he saw that it was a communications staff officer who came in, the commander hurriedly asked: "Is it the telegram from Regiment Commander Chen or the telegram from Wang Ping of the Independent Regiment!" ”

"The head of the independent regiment Wang telegraphed. They have gathered all the troops that can still move in the independent regiment, ready to take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army to return to Laiyuan City to fight devils and counterattack! Commander, Chief of Staff, this is a telegram! "The communications staff officer hurried back.

After quickly reading the telegram and handing it to the commander, Xiong Botao's brows suddenly wrinkled into a big Sichuan character.

"Commander, although the casualties of the independent regiment are not explicitly stated. However, all the troops that could still move together were less than 1,300 men, which showed that the two days of bloody fighting had already broken the bones of the independent regiment. You know, before the war, the independent regiment reported more than 3,500 troops! ”

"But this is a great opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army and take revenge!" The commander replied sharply.

"Wang Ping is very discerning, such a fighter is difficult to encounter, and it must be grasped. Call Wang Ping back immediately, I agree that he will fight the devil and fight back, but you must give me a leisurely time, control the casualties, and don't beat the independent regiment to me! ”
