Not retreating is also the idea in Wang Ping's heart.

Wang Ping didn't expect that Yang Huping, who usually doesn't like to talk much, also had this idea.

immediately became interested, stared at Yang Hu and asked, "Tell me what you think?" ”

"Yes, Captain!" Yang Huping hesitated for a moment and began to answer.

"A few months ago, when our new regiment was heavily damaged by devils and forced to leave the garrison and retreat into the mountains, I fought in the troops behind the palace. When we left, we saw with our own eyes the desperate and helpless gazes of the common people looking at us. ”

"At that time, I didn't even dare to raise my head, so I could only retreat with my head down."

"I just built a base area and mingled with the people. Then they were defeated by the devils, leaving them behind and forced to retreat! ”

"It is certain that after we left, these ordinary people were more or less punished by the devils and fell into dire straits again."

"Now, we're out again. Although there is no base area, it has not even decided to stay. However, winning one battle after another still gives the people who see us a glimmer of hope. ”

"In this case, if they know that our Eighth Route Army once again ran away when they saw the main force of the devils coming, this hope will definitely turn into disappointment."

"Coupled with the disappointment and helplessness brought to them by the last time we abandoned them and retreated, I am afraid that this disappointment will turn into despair, despair for our Eighth Route Army, and no longer believe in our Eighth Route Army in the future!"

Wang Ping's eyes lit up, and he was very happy and affirmed: "Well said!" ”

"Our Eighth Route Army is a team that fights devils, and there is nothing wrong with that. But you must not forget the fundamentals of our Eighth Route Army. In addition to fighting devils, we are also the people's soldiers and the people's troops. Without the support of the common people, we will not be able to survive at all under the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese puppet army! ”

"So, this time, we can't let the people down again!"

Xiong Changhe first showed a thoughtful expression, and then said with a resolute face.

"I agree to stay, if I don't leave, it's a big deal to fight with the little devils who came over for reinforcements!"

"Battalion Commander Yang said that I have also seen it in battle. Without our Eighth Route Army, the devils, the puppet army, and the two dogs who maintain the association are all trying to squeeze the people by all means. Because of their exploitation, many people have to work as coolies for devils, and even sell their sons and daughters! ”

"When I attacked the stronghold of Zhangcun, I rescued several women from the stronghold, all of whom were captured by the Japanese puppet army in various villages, as if they wanted to sell them to brothels to pay off their debts with meat. Thankfully, they would have been doomed to us. ”

"After being rescued by us, they didn't say much! However, I could tell from their eyes that they wanted us to stay and not leave! ”

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong frowned all the time.

As chief of staff, the most important thing he needs to consider is how the troops can survive and win the war.

Even if he didn't go to the battlefield himself, he knew that it would definitely be better for the new regiment to stay than to retreat.

But the question is, how can the new group stay.

The Japanese puppet army attacked with heavy troops, and rashly chose to stay, not only did he fail to protect the people, but he would also be wiped out!

Frowning and reminding: "But, regiment commander, it is undeniable that our opponent is too strong. Rest in the town now, and you can be sure that as soon as they are well rested, they will come at us like hungry wolves! ”

"Then kill them!" Wang Ping replied in surprise.

Several people all looked at Wang Ping with a stunned expression.

Wang Ping didn't hide it, and directly said what he thought in his heart as if he were pouring beans.

"Our three troops came out one after another, and they all put on the posture of the main force, so that the net that Matsui prepared for us outside the mountain was ineffective, and we lost the initiative on the battlefield, chasing our butts and beating behind!"

"It can be said that we won the first layout of the mountain."

"But let's not forget that in terms of overall strength, the devil is far superior to us."

"Even if they are in a passive state now, as long as they really understand our strength, Matsumoto will rearrange and kill us little by little."

"Of course, some people will say that we can retreat, fight guerrilla warfare and movement warfare with the devils in Linfen, and slowly consume them."

"However, everyone seems to have forgotten a very fatal problem, we now do not have any mass base in Linfen."

"The troops are lost, and they can be replenished with prisoners. But what if there are no more captives? ”

"And food, ammunition, how to solve these!"

"Therefore, now everyone must recognize the reality: if we really fight the devil through sports warfare and guerrilla warfare, we will definitely not be opponents!"

"But how do you solve this problem?"

"My idea is simple, fight, fight a big battle, and take out one of their main forces before Matsui finds out our true strength."

"As long as we can take out a brigade of him, the Eighth Route Army that is rushing towards us around us will stop and retreat."

"At that time, we will have an excellent opportunity to develop our base and expand our troops!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ping still had a word in his heart that he didn't say.

Autumn harvest, Linfen will have an autumn harvest in another month.

After the autumn harvest began, the first task of the Japanese army was to take food from the hands of the common people, and they simply did not have the extra energy to deal with themselves.

You must know that as the war continues, the Japanese army is becoming more and more dependent on war to feed the war. If he can't grab enough grain at the time of the autumn harvest, Matsumoto in Linfen City will definitely be reprimanded by his superiors, and it is possible to lose the position of brigade commander.

As long as he can inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army in a short period of time, Matsumoto will not be able to touch the strength of the new group in a short period of time, and he will be timid and drag on until the autumn harvest. The new group will have at least two months of stable development.

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong has experienced a lot of battlefield miracles with Wang Ping, and there are many battles in which he wins more with less, which can be regarded as well-informed.

However, after listening to the decision of the head of the regiment to say that it was a lion's mouth, he was still taken aback.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he asked, "Commander, don't scare me." The Japanese army had a reinforced infantry brigade plus a regiment of the puppet army, with a total strength of more than 200 people. And we have two battalions on the surface, but in reality there are only four companies. In addition to a day's losses, there are less than 800 people who can still fight! There are fewer combat troops, and there are only more than six hundred people in the guard company! ”

"Look at the devil's equipment again: four mountain artillery, two infantry guns, and nine mortars. No, it was twelve mortars, and one regiment of the puppet army was also armed with three mortars. As for the heavy machine guns, plus the puppet army's, a whole fourteen! ”

"With such a strong firepower, is it possible for us to wipe them out?"

Seeing that Wang Ping frowned and didn't speak, Zhong Chenggong continued to analyze: "Also, the devils are probably afraid of dividing their troops, since we came out of the mountain, their main force has been marching in a group, regardless of the troops!" ”

"In this case, the only way we can destroy them is to break them here!"
