Major General Matsumoto sat in his own position, and the deputy captain who had returned from the breakout stood in front with his head bowed, reporting the entire battle process while accepting Matsumoto's questioning, which took a full hour,.。

After a long sigh, he affirmed: "The real main force of the new regiment is in Tianxin Town, and the opponent you meet is Wang Ping, the leader of the new regiment!" ”

"Only he can calculate one battle after another so accurately, so that you are always in a state of passive beating!"

"General, what should we do next, do we continue to send troops to attack Tianxin Town or just stop!" The chief of staff asked in a heavy tone.

As soon as I was happy about the good news from Linfenbei, I was happy for less than a night, and the bad news came over in front of me, which made everyone's good mood disappear all of a sudden.

Matsumoto didn't answer, stared at the deputy captain and asked, "You tell me the truth, how many people are there in the Eighth Route Army that attacked you, and how many casualties they suffered in a night's battle!" ”

"This?" The vice-captain hesitated.

The chief of staff next to him asked angrily, "Do you still need to think about such a simple question for so long?" There are as many troops as there should be, you are the commander, it is impossible to finish the battle, and the strength of the opponent has not yet been figured out. ”

"Five or six hundred! General, the lowly position is certain, the Eighth Route Army that attacked us should not exceed six hundred people! The vice-captain replied

"Although their attack was very strong, it was all caused by the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army with paprika. If they go head-to-head, they're certainly not opponents. ”

"As for casualties, the lowly position is not very clear. But for sure, their casualties are certainly not small. ”

"Because, many imperial soldiers chose to detonate grenades before they died in battle, and they died with the Eighth Route Army!"

"I estimate that two hundred people must be indispensable!"

Major General Matsumoto's brows furrowed suddenly: "In other words, the Eighth Route Army in Tianxin Town has less than four hundred people combined!" ”

"Hey! That's for sure! It was rare for the vice-captain to answer so firmly.

The chief of staff suddenly said: "General, less than 400 people are exactly the strength of a battalion of the Eighth Route Army, as long as we dispatch half an infantry brigade, we can kill them!" ”

"If half of the infantry brigade can kill them, the third brigade will not be wiped out in Tianxin Town!" Matsumoto replied angrily.

The chief of staff immediately became embarrassed.

He hesitated for a moment and continued: "However, our mobile troops have been sent, and we can't draw too many troops to Tianxin Town!" ”

"Let the 1st Infantry Brigade pass!" Matsumoto made his decision with a frown.

"The 1st Brigade is the most combat-ready unit in our brigade and regiment, and it is also the unit that has fought the most times against the new regiment. Let them finish the Eighth Route Army in Fengyun Town, and kill directly to Tianxin Town! ”

"Since the Eighth Route Army in Tianxin Town is the main force of the new regiment, and their commander Wang Ping is also there. That shows that the Eighth Route in Fengyun Town is also a virtual army, a fake main force to disperse our forces. ”

Major General Matsumoto forgot to count one thing, the equipment of the new regiment.

Wang Ping's two battalions plus the troops directly under him, the total strength is indeed less than 400 people.

But the equipment is not ordinary luxury.

The troops, which are less than 400 men, are equipped with four mountain guns, three infantry guns, 18 mortars, 16 heavy machine guns, and more than 40 light machine guns of various kinds!

Of course, even if Major General Matsumoto thought about it, he would think that even if the new regiment obtained these equipment, there would not be so many people to use it, especially mortars, infantry artillery, and mountain artillery.

Ordinary fighters, even if they train for a month, may not be able to use it well.

But he underestimated the four battalions that were now active in Fengyun Town.

The 4th Battalion is not only not a virtual army, but also a well-deserved main force.

Nearly 1,000 former anti-Japanese soldiers, there must be many talents Wang Ping wants.

At ten o'clock the next night, the four battalions marching in a company entered Fengyun Town.

"Report to the regiment commander, the fourth battalion commander Rong Jun was ordered to lead the team back to report, and ask the regiment commander to issue a combat mission!"

"Rest first, and then get ready for battle!" Wang Ping was very satisfied with this subordinate who had been fighting alone outside for more than a month.

Rong Jun was stunned for a moment before hesitating and asked, "What about the devils behind us?" All the way, they chased us in the back and beat us. If we hadn't destroyed all the turrets along the highway in advance, they would have been blocked in the middle of the road and then wiped out! ”

Wang Ping didn't hide it, and replied directly: "The reconnaissance platoon just reported that the devils who chased and killed you are now camped!" ”

"They are still self-aware, and they know that this is the world of our Eighth Route Army at night!"

"Let the troops rest first, I have people prepare hot meals and hot dishes for you, rest well, we will have an operation at two o'clock in the morning at night!"

"Before you act, though, you have to do one thing: "Pick out all the extra gunners, heavy machine gunners of the four battalions." Can you defeat the devils behind you tonight, they are the protagonists! ”

A high ground nearly three kilometers from the temporary station of the new 1st regiment may be more appropriate to say that it is a gentle slope than a high ground. Because the area at the top of the slope is large enough, and there is no forest around to hide soldiers, standing on the top of the slope and sweeping it at a glance, all the wasteland and fertile fields within one or two kilometers around can be seen in full view, and the field of vision is very broad.

When the captain of the devil brigade, Aooka Nakasa, passed by, he took a fancy to this place at a glance and made it a night station.

As the captain of the infantry brigade with the strongest combat effectiveness in the whole brigade, although Qinggang Zhongzuo was arrogant, he was not so mad that he was boundless.

The Imperial Army is not suitable for night battles, and the Eighth Route Army likes to fight at night, and defeats the enemy's weakness with its own strength, which is still very clear to the basic common sense.

In addition, without air support, if you can not fight with the Eighth Route Army at night, Qinggang Zhongzuo will definitely avoid it.

And after rushing for a day during the day, I have to participate in battles from time to time, whether it is myself or the Eighth Route Army that I am chasing and killing, I need to rest!

"Sir, the camp has been arranged according to the requirements, and the whole army is scattered in small teams!" The chief of staff walked into the Qinggang Zhongzuo tent and reported with a tired face.

"Yo Xi!" Qinggang replied with satisfaction.

"Chief of Staff, the brigade headquarters reported during the day that the night before yesterday, the Third Brigade suffered heavy losses in the face of the artillery attack of the Eighth Route Army because the garrison was too small and the personnel were too dense, and then a series of battles unfavorable to the Imperial Army broke out, which eventually led to the annihilation of the Third Brigade!"

"We're playing against the same people, and they're likely to do it again. However, we cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past! ”

"It's a little hard, but as long as you can minimize the loss, it's worth it!"

"Hey, you're taught!" The chief of staff replied with his head bowed.

Then he went on to report: "As for patrolling and guarding at night, because the terrain around us is very good, only one infantry squadron has been arranged!" ”

"After all, we have to make sure that most of the soldiers have enough stamina for tomorrow's battle!"

"Yes, but we need to arrange a few more fixed firepower points to condescendingly attack the Eighth Route Army that may attack us!" Qinggang Nakazuo affirmed.
