The Japanese army headquarters in Laiyuan City, the Ono Brigade was in a very good mood.

Since the commander of the Qinggu transit station, Kato Daisa, commanded his troops to inflict heavy losses on the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the supplies, weapons and ammunition transported to Laiyuan City have never been attacked again.

In less than half a month, the supplies and ammunition reserves needed for the Ono Brigade to send troops were enough.

With supplies and troops in his hands, Ono no no longer has any worries about the next encirclement and suppression operation.

"Chief of Staff, according to the order of the military department, we will conduct our own encirclement and suppression operations and operate independently, and the military headquarters will not overstep the command, and will also provide us with sufficient air support. Therefore, I asked the General Staff to draw up a complete battle plan within five days! ”

"Hey!" The transportation of materials was smooth, and the chief of staff also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he stared at Ono and asked, "I don't know if His Excellency the General has any requirements!" ”

"Of course, it is the total annihilation of our old rival Independent Regiment!" Major General Ono replied without hesitation, and then a gritted expression appeared on his face, which showed how deep Ono's hatred for the Independent Regiment was.

The chief of staff stared at the map for almost a minute and replied: "According to intelligence, except for the county seat and the Qinggu Valley transit station, the Eighth Route Army is active in Laiyuan, and they have also formed a large number of guerrilla units and local troops in these places. ”

"The idea of humility is: the whole army will take the infantry brigade and a regiment of the Imperial Allied Army as a unit, and the troops will sweep through all the villages controlled by the Eighth Route Army in multiple ways, and when they encounter resistance, they will be eliminated on the spot, and the Eighth Route Army will be driven back to the mountains step by step!"

"In the end, concentrate all the troops and firepower, gather and annihilate them here, that is, the independent regiment station, and solve this cancer in Laiyuan in one fell swoop!"

"I agree!" Major General Ono nodded in satisfaction.

Then he continued: "But you must pay attention to the fact that the Eighth Route Army is best at guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, and after the division of troops, each unit must guard against the Eighth Route Army to destroy our attacking troops by means of various breakthroughs!" ”

"Also, we now have the strength of nine regiments of the Imperial Army, as well as a large number of artillery and air support, and these forces must be put to good use. In particular, the troops of the Imperial Allied Army, if used well, can greatly reduce the casualties of the Imperial Army in the encirclement and suppression operations! ”

"Hey, Your Excellency General, I have written it down, and I will definitely follow your instructions!" The chief of staff replied respectfully.

Ono was very satisfied with the chief of staff's current performance, and after a smile appeared on his serious face, he affirmed: "Since this is the case, then do as you say, and draw up the battle plan for me as soon as possible!" ”

When the Independent Regiment was stationed, the Japanese Ono Brigade and the Laiyuan Garrison Division of the Imperial Allied Army began to make final preparations for the next encirclement and suppression, and the Independent Regiment also began to prepare.

At the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Zeng Quan, chief of staff, Cheng Xiao, political commissar, Deng Hongtao, director of the Political Department, and Jiang Hongchun, director of the logistics department, who had just returned from the military region for a few days, all stood around a table in front of Wang Ping that was covered with maps.

At the moment of the great enemy, Wang Ping did not hesitate, and asked Zeng Quan directly: "Chief of Staff, how are the preparations of the various troops!" ”

"The main forces of the regiment, the county brigade, the district squadron, the district squad, and the guerrillas of the villages are all ready. During this period, we also strengthened patrols at various intersections in the base area to prevent devils from sending troops to infiltrate our base area in advance. ”

"At present, the first battalion, the regimental headquarters guard company remains at the regimental headquarters!"

"The second battalion, the third battalion, the fire battalion, all outside the mountain. Because we defeated the Ono Brigade attack last time, we captured several radio stations, and after we surrendered them, there are still five left. At present, each main battalion of the independent regiment is equipped with one radio station and two radio stations at the regiment headquarters to facilitate communication and command operations. So, as long as we have orders, they can receive them at any time. If they have any information, the regimental headquarters will also receive it as soon as possible! ”

"Excellent! Ordered the troops outside the mountain to all lurk. Before the start of the anti-encirclement operation, all troops must not expose the target! Wang Ping ordered with a serious face.

Wang Ping then shifted his gaze to Jiang Hongchun.

Before he could speak, Jiang Hongchun had already comprehended the divine report.

"Regiment commander, political commissar, I have prepared materials and ammunition for counter-encirclement and suppression!"

"The main forces, I have already sent them two base ammunition, and the local troops have sent one base ammunition. As for the guerrillas, although they are a little less, each gun can also average twenty rounds, which is enough for them to fight devils and cold guns! ”

"In addition, the 1,000 ceramic mines you confessed to were all made five days ago, and now they have been distributed to all guerrillas and local units. When the devils attack, they will definitely be able to give them a huge surprise! ”

"I also pack all the remaining ammunition, no matter which unit needs ammunition, the logistics department guarantees that it will be delivered within one day!"

Wang Ping has always been very satisfied with Jiang Hongchun.

Therefore, after listening to the report, Wang Ping directly shifted his attention to Deng Hongtao, who was in charge of the base area.

"The regiment commander, the political commissar, the mobilization work in the base areas has been almost done. After the hostage incident more than half a month ago, the common people in the base area have thoroughly recognized the true nature of devils. Especially after we rescued the people who were taken hostage by the devils, the villagers' support for us has reached the point of unconditionality. ）”

"As long as the evacuation order is issued, every village can guarantee that the evacuation will be completed within two hours, and the walls will be cleared, leaving nothing for the devils."

Wang Ping was very satisfied with this result, and then said with a proud face: "Since everything is ready, then we will use practical actions to tell the devils that our independent regiment is not something that they can destroy if they want to encircle and suppress it." ”

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

The gate of Laiyuan City is still open as usual, and it opens on time at ten o'clock in the morning.

However, when the city gate was opened, the people gathered at the city gate were not allowed to enter the city, and the dozens of Japanese puppet troops who rushed out were directly dispersed.

Then I saw a team of heavily armed devil soldiers driving out of the county town and taking over all the positions at the city gate.

After another half hour, there was finally movement at the heavily guarded city gates.

The mixed troops formed by the Imperial Allied Army and the Japanese Army, carrying heavy machine guns and mortars, towing infantry guns and mountain artillery, as well as baggage carts loaded with various supplies, marched out of the city gate.

"The devil sweep has begun, and the regimental headquarters must be notified immediately!" The leader of the reconnaissance squad lurking at the gate of the city immediately reacted.

"You go and inform the commander of the third battalion, the devils have begun to sweep! You go and inform the nearest guerrillas, clear the field, and use guerrilla warfare to drag these Japanese puppet troops! ”

"The others will set off with me, go directly to meet these devils for a while, and teach them a lesson first!"
