"Jingle Bell ......" The shrill phone rang again.

A staff officer on duty quickly grabbed the phone, rushed to the chief of staff in less than half a minute, and reported with a calm face: "Sir, the stronghold of Hushan Village in the south of Tianxin Town has been attacked, and now contact is lost!" ”

"There is a garrison team and a company of the Imperial Alliance Army in Hushan Village, they must all be dead!"

The deputy chief of staff's face suddenly became heavy, and he was even a little panicked: "More than a hundred people were wiped out so quickly, and their offensive ability is too strong?" ”

"Also, Hushan Village is only less than five kilometers away from the stronghold of Tianxin Town, and there is no turret in the middle, the Eighth Route Army can kill it in an hour, and their attack speed is too fast!"

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, can any of you tell me where these Eighth Route Army came from!" The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, panicked and asked loudly.

During the day, everyone thought that the main force of the new regiment had killed Linfen North, but now so many people suddenly appeared, and the attack power was still so strong. No matter how hard they try to find their source, they can't find a clue in the end.

The reaction of his subordinates made the chief of staff hold back his anger, but he had no place to send it, so he could only scold.

"A bunch of rubbish, who don't know anything, what use does the empire want from you?"

Then he rushed out of the war room to find Matsumoto.

It only took Matsumoto more than ten minutes before he rushed in with a frown: "How many people are there in the Eighth Route Army that killed Tianxin Town, and how is the equipment?" ”

"There are more than one battalion of troops, and it is not clear how much. But they were armed with infantry guns, mortars, and also heavy machine guns...... This was reported before the stronghold of Hushan Village was destroyed. ”

Major General Matsumoto's temper came up all at once: "Nani? After losing so many turret strongholds, the imperial army lost nearly 100 people, and they didn't even know what the opponent was doing, what were you eating! ”

The deputy chief of staff hesitated for a moment and explained: "The general is angry, now in addition to the garrison, our intelligence officers, mobile troops, and main forces operating in Tianxin Town are all north of Linfen. We can only learn a few simple things through the stronghold garrison. ”

"That's not the reason!" Matsumoto continued to curse.

As soon as he finished speaking, a communications staff officer rushed over.

"General, the stronghold of Tianxin Town is in an emergency: a large number of Eighth Route Army has appeared around them, and they have been surrounded!"

"Are there any calls for help?" Matsumoto asked rhetorically, staring at the communications staff.

The communications staff officer hurriedly shook his head and replied: "Not yet!" ”

"That's good, it shows that the Eighth Route Army that appeared outside the stronghold in Tianxin Town didn't have the strength to threaten their safety."

Matsui, who breathed a long sigh of relief, immediately made a judgment: "At the beginning, the news you received must have been a bluff on the part of the Eighth Route Army, wanting us to divide our troops and reduce the pressure on their main force!" ”

"The general is wise!" The chief of staff made a small slap on the back.

Major General Matsumoto did not speak, and his mood was not as good as during the day, and he sat on a stool next to him with a frown, deep in thought.

Although Tian Xinzhen's telegram calmed him down, the arrangement of his old rival Wang Ping made him doubt his judgment during the day.

If the new regiment can hide a force with such a strong attack power in Tianxin Town, it is possible that it has hidden ambushes elsewhere.

Although these ambushes will not bring a devastating blow to the imperial army, they can definitely cause great casualties to the imperial army, just like the Eighth Route Army that is now attacking Tianxin Town.

A few minutes later! He reacted from his contemplation, and then made a decision: "Call back to the garrison of Tianxin Town, be sure to hold the stronghold and hold off the Eighth Route Army attacking them!" ”

"Send a telegram to the main forces in the north of the city, telling them to end the battle tomorrow and quickly return to their respective stations!"

The chief of staff proposed: "Do you want to transfer two squadrons back first and kill the Eighth Route Army attacking Tianxin Town?" ”

Matsui shook his head and replied, "No, don't look at the two infantry brigades in the north of the city, but there are too many places they need to blockade." With two squadrons missing, there is certainly no guarantee that the main forces of the new regiment there will be wiped out! ”

"The north of the city is mountainous and hilly, and once a new group of fish slips through the net, it will be difficult to eliminate them."

"I see!" The chief of staff reacted.

"General, you want to fight to destroy the main force of the new regiment first, and then encircle and suppress those small fish and shrimp in Tianxin Town!"

"Just destroy their main force and destroy their chain of command. Those little soldiers and shrimp will become stragglers, and they will not become the climate. It's like when the general you personally led people to destroy the old and new regimental headquarters! ”

The chief of staff was just about to give the order, when the communications staff officer, who had not been leaving for a long time, rushed over again.

"General, something happened, the garrison of Tianxin Town is in an emergency!"

"The Eighth Route Army began to attack the stronghold, dispatching a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns, and the defenders suffered heavy losses, requesting reinforcements!"

"Impossible!" Matsui was the first to stand up and retort.

"Just now I promised to be able to hold the stronghold, but now it has only been a few minutes and I can't hold it, how can it change so quickly."

The chief of staff also stared at the communications staff officer and asked: "Are you mistaken, there are more than 200 people in the imperial army in Tianxin Zhenguang, reinforced artillery and heavy machine guns, and a battalion of the imperial army." If the Eighth Route Army does not send a regiment, it will not be able to threaten them at all! ”

The communications staff officer hurriedly replied: "The garrison reports that the Eighth Route Army attacking them is a regiment!" ”

"And an infantry gun, at least a company of mortars, a large number of light and heavy machine guns!"

"The turret at the commanding heights of the stronghold has been destroyed, and many imperial troops have been killed!"

The chief of staff snatched the telegram from the hand of the communications staff officer, and before he could finish reading it, his face became heavy!

"General, it's true, the telegram makes it very clear that there really is a regiment of the Eighth Route Army attacking them. If there are no reinforcements, at most half an hour, the stronghold will be breached! ”

"Another regiment of the Eighth Route Army, then you tell me, where did they come from!" Matsumoto still had a look of disbelief.

It's not that I don't believe the report of my subordinates, but I can't believe this fact.

The new regiment, under its own blockade and bombardment, should have only one infantry regiment left in the discontent. And now, not only are they not dissatisfied, but two infantry regiments have popped up at once, which is not at all in line with common sense.

Could it be that Wang Ping, the head of the new regiment, has the ability to sprinkle beans into soldiers! An idea popped into Matsui's head.

But as soon as the idea appeared, he was rejected by himself, and a smile full of self-deprecation appeared on his face.

"If you really have the ability to sprinkle beans into soldiers, the new regiment will not be blocked in the mountains by yourself for more than a month!"
