"Sir, there's no sign of a new regiment in the valley ahead!" After arriving in Zhouzhuang, the squadron leader led the main force to personally pull the net to search for the new group, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to search farther away, but in the end they found nothing.

"Captain, did you say that the remnants of the new regiment were not hidden in this area, they had already slipped away in the night!" Looking at the darkening sky in front of him, the exhausted vice captain frowned and analyzed.

"It shouldn't be possible, it's suitable for hiding soldiers here, and it won't be detected by planes. If they leave this area, they won't even be able to hide from our planes! The frowning squadron leader also hesitated to ask this question, but after careful analysis, he still vetoed the idea.

"Also, in one night, they have been running long distances to attack two villages in a row, and it takes time for them to break through our blockade line, how can they have time to leave the battlefield so far. Even the best imperial army can't do it, let alone the remnants of the Eighth Route Army who can't even eat enough! ”

"There must be something missing, we didn't find it, it must be like this!"

The deputy captain nodded and continued to ask, "Now that it's about to get dark, should we go back to the stronghold first, and wait until dawn tomorrow to continue the search!" ”

"Nope! Give the new group another night, and they'll be running! The squadron leader shook his head in reply.

"We'll stay here tonight!"

With that, the squadron leader drew a circle at a point on the map, which was right in the middle of all the search areas today.

The deputy captain reacted immediately: "Captain Yingming, this is the middle of all possible hiding places of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army will definitely move tonight, as long as it moves, no matter where it is, we can guarantee to arrive within an hour!" ”

"In this case, no matter how weird and versatile these Eighth Route Army are, they won't be able to escape our encirclement and interception!"

"Immediately report our ideas to the brigade command, and I am sure that the brigade commander will definitely agree!"

"Go ahead!"

After the telegram was sent to the brigade headquarters, after only a few seconds of hesitation against the map, Major General Matsumoto made a decision.

"Call them back and agree to their battle plan!"

"This is an excellent opportunity to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the new regiment, as long as there is a little opportunity, we can't let it go!"

"There is a new remnant of the anti-Japanese armed forces in the entire Linfen territory, and only by eliminating them will the law and order in Linfen be completely wiped out!"

"But! If they stayed there and didn't go back, there would be only one company of Imperial Allies left in the stronghold of Zhoutang Town to defend. In case the remnants of the new regiment are hiding near Zhoutang Town and suddenly launch an attack on Xintang Town, I am afraid that Xintang Town will not be able to hold it. "The Chief of Staff raised his concerns!

"Hiding near Xintang Town, not to mention that there is no terrain around Xintang Town where there are no troops at all, even if there is, the new regiment will not hide anywhere, unless their commander is stupid!" Rear Admiral Matsumoto was very sure of his judgment.

"You look at the map, more than ten kilometers around Xintang Town are rare plains in the Taiyue area, hidden here, as long as they are exposed, they have no place to hide within two or three hours, and they have been exposed to our pursuit and firepower!"

"Also, we have stationed heavy troops in Zhoutang Town, and the Eighth Route Army does not have the skills of a prophet, so it is impossible to know that we will transfer troops during the day. Hide under the noses of our heavy soldiers, unless they are insane. ”

"Also, even if the remnants of the new group are really hidden near Zhoutang Town, we are not afraid!" Matsumoto will continue to analyze.

"Although the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Alliance Army is not very good, it is definitely no problem to use it for defense!"

"There are only more than 200 remnants of the new regiment, and more than 200 people attack the stronghold defended by a company of the Imperial Allied Army, and there is definitely no problem in holding on for two or three hours. Two or three hours was enough for them to return to the base. So, Chief of Staff, don't worry, go and give orders. ”

Without the special tactics brought by Wang Ping, and without the sufficient weapons and ammunition that Wang Ping had replenished for the new regiment after successive victories, the new regiment really did not have the strength to take down the stronghold defended by a company of the puppet army, even if the new regiment was given one night to attack, the result would be the same.

As soon as the sky was bright, Wang Ping found Zhong Chenggong.

"Company Commander Xiong, I asked my comrades to bring 300 catties of grain we seized last night, and I also took dozens of catties of pork to maintain the meeting. I don't care what method you use, within an hour, all the grain and pork will be cooked, and the soldiers will have a hot meal, and there will be action tonight, everyone must be full and eat well! ”

Cooking on a hill with only shrubs and not being able to expose the target can be a difficult one.

Xiong Changhe was just about to give his opinion, when Wang Ping's undoubted eyes swept over.

Although he has not been in contact with Wang Ping for a long time, he still knows some of Wang Ping's personality and style.

Once such an expression appears on the face, it means that the order is non-negotiable.

Gritted his teeth and replied: "Please rest assured, the head of the regiment, I promise to complete the task!" ”

Hot meals, hot dishes, and large pieces of braised pork, in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, as long as you are a veteran, you will understand that this is the prelude to a tough battle.

So, after a full meal, the veteran began to quietly sort out his weapons and ammunition.

The two company commanders also found Wang Ping together to learn about the plan of action for tonight.

"Last night, the reason why we chose to hide next to the stronghold in Zhoutang Town was because this place was indeed very hidden, and the little devil couldn't have imagined that we would hide here!"

"Actually, there is another reason I didn't say, it has to do with tonight's battle plan."

"Now I can tell you, I'm going to attack the stronghold of Zhoutang Town tonight!"

The two company commanders both showed expressions of disbelief and stared at Wang Ping with their eyes.

"What? I think that my battle plan is fantastical and impossible to achieve! Wang Ping asked with a smile.

Seeing that Wang Ping was still in the mood to joke with everyone, the expressions on the faces of the two people looked a lot better, and they were a lot more confident, but they were still very worried.

Wang Ping seemed to see what everyone was thinking, and ordered Li Wen with a confident expression.

"You tell the two company commanders about the situation of the Japanese stronghold in Zhoutang Town."

The Japanese puppet army who learned of the stronghold in Zhoutang Town left early in the morning and did not return until dark. After there were more than a hundred Imperial Cooperative troops left in the entire stronghold, the hearts of the two people were directly shocked.

"His regimental commander is too powerful, and he can not be a prophet for such things as the Japanese army leaving the stronghold early in the morning. Otherwise, how dare he take everyone to hide directly next to the stronghold in Zhoutang Town.

If you count the enemy to death before you have a war, it is impossible to fight with such a commander without winning.
