At the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Linfen City, Matsumoto, who had managed to stay up until dawn, finally received good news from the front line.

The Eighth Route Army retreated, and the Eighth Route Army, which attacked them, retreated on all fronts, and it retreated overnight.

Matsumoto's tense nerves relaxed more than half of it at once.

However, he did not let his guard down.

Staring at the chief of staff, he ordered: "The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, it cannot be ruled out that they will turn around and kill us and take us by surprise." So, we can't let our guard down yet! ”

"Send a telegram to all the troops on the front, continue to strengthen the vigilance, and no one can relax without an order from the command!"

"The mobile troops in the city can relax a little! However, the garrison and alert troops in Linfen City could not relax. The battle on the frontal battlefield may be over, and with the combat style that the Eighth Route Army has always had, it is likely that it will continue to fight an intelligence war with us. ”

"Also, from now on, no one can come near my office unless there is important military intelligence. I will personally report the battle process to His Excellency the Commander, and then request support from troops and materials to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army and wipe out all anti-Japanese forces in Linfen in one fell swoop! ”

The troops lost the battle, not only did they fail to complete their tasks, but they also lost their troops.

Once the brigade commander reports, the chief of staff is sure that the brigade commander will definitely be scolded for being bloody. When the time comes, it is possible to directly take the position of brigade commander from the headquarters.

And the only way to solve this problem is to use the background behind the brigade commander to exempt himself from punishment, and then put some pressure on the headquarters to cooperate with the brigade commander and transfer troops to reinforce Linfen.

The chief of staff is well aware of the implications, and it will be of great benefit to himself as chief of staff if he retains the position of brigade commander.

So, the chief of staff replied almost without hesitation: "Please rest assured that no one will come near your office without your orders, including lowly positions!" ”

The headquarters of the new 1st Regiment in Sanquan Town, the fire company directly under the 1st and 3rd Battalions, the artillery battalion directly under the regimental headquarters, the heavy machine gun company, the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion, the 4th Battalion and the 4th Company, the fire company, a total of more than 1,000 people, were all stationed outside Sanquan Town, ready to meet the new battle.

"Commander, how are you going to fight?" The chief of staff, who had thought about it for a day and a night, had not thought of how to solve the problem of the shortage of materials in the troops, and when he saw that the troops had arrived, he couldn't help but ask.

Wang Ping did not hide it: "I still remember that I told you before that we are guarding a railway line that is very rich, and if we still let the troops fight hungry, then our commanders will be in vain?" ”

"Tongpu Railway?" Zhong Chenggong reacted suddenly.

Then he suddenly realized and shouted: "Commander, do you want to take the Tongpu Railway?" However, we have no idea when a military train will pass through the railway. ”

"It won't be long before there are a lot of them!" Wang Ping replied in the affirmative.

Zhong Chenggong was just about to ask why? Wang Ping had already opened his mouth to explain: "The devils in Linfen City want to take revenge on us, and they will definitely transfer troops and materials from outside. And the best way for troops and supplies to enter Linfen is by railway. As long as we guard the railroad and intercept a few more military trains, then all kinds of supplies that we are in short supply will be enough! ”

"Not only that, after intercepting the materials transported by the devils through the military trains, the materials in the hands of the devils in Linfen City will not be enough, they can only continue to draw from the outside, and they will also have to allocate a large number of troops to protect the railway line. In this way, the time for them to retaliate against us will be pushed back and there will be a lot fewer troops! ”

"Kill two birds with one stone! Leader, do it, let's not do such a good thing in vain! Zhong Chenggong replied with excitement on his face.

But soon, Zhong Chenggong calmed down.

The devils knew better than the Eighth Route Army what the railway line would do for them.

Although the railway line of the Tongpu Railway in Linfen has not been attacked for nearly half a year, there are still more than a dozen strongholds of all sizes on this section of more than 30 kilometers of railway line, in which a railway garrison under the jurisdiction of Linfen City is stationed, more than 400 devils, and more than 300 puppet troops.

And that's not even counting the devil's armored train, which runs along the railway line almost every hour.

On both sides of the railway line, as long as there are suspicious targets, they will be hit fiercely by armored trains!

In half a year, at least dozens of civilians and guerrillas died at the hands of devil armored trains while crossing the railway line.

The armored train patrol is not counted, every time an important military train of devils passes, in addition to the protection of its own garrison troops, there will be an armored train in front and behind the military train. Once the train is attacked, the two armored trains in front and behind will be transformed into two mobile fortresses, destroying all enemies who dare to approach the train.

With a frown, he asked Wang Ping: "Regiment commander, if you want to intercept the devil's military column, you must first find out what is loaded on each of the devil's military columns, and we can't stop the military column when we see it." The little devils are not stupid, it is impossible to give us the opportunity to intercept their military columns again and again, they will definitely have countermeasures! ”

"Also, if you want to intercept the military column, you must first take down a section of the devil railway garrison on the railway line, and then you have to find a way to deal with the devil armored train on the railway, and deal with the reinforcements that the little devil may send, and finally intercept the military column."

"In the end, the Devil's army is casually hundreds of tons of supplies, and we need to prepare enough transport carts and manpower to transport all the captured before the Devil's large-scale reinforcements arrive."

"Otherwise, we will cut off the military column in vain!"

Wang Ping glanced at Zhong Chenggong with appreciation.

After going through a series of battles in front of him, the chief of staff has obviously improved and matured a lot, and he has become more and more integrated into the superb appearance of the chief of staff. In the face of the battle plan proposed by himself, he can quickly analyze the various problems inside, look for loopholes, and finally study solutions together.

Wang Ping, who looked satisfied, immediately replied: "The first question, I am already doing it." ”

"Chief of Staff, didn't you see that the team directly under the regimental headquarters didn't come with the troops of the second battalion? I asked them to take the radio and lurk at the previous station of Linfen Station on the Tongpu Railway. No matter what train passes through that platform and enters Linfen, we must find out what is in the train and when it will arrive at us, and then inform us by radio! ”

"As for the garrisons along the devil's railway, they can't fight in advance, and attacking in advance is tantamount to telling the devils that we want to intercept their military columns, which is to startle the snake."

"However, we can prepare for the attack, and when the army is intercepted, we can take out the nearby turrets and garrisons together!"

"Don't forget, in addition to the secret killer weapon of the mountain artillery battalion, we also have an infantry artillery company."

"Originally, there were only three infantry guns, two from the second battalion and two from the third battalion, adding up to seven. An infantry cannon against a turret stronghold, plus a firepower company and an infantry platoon, should be able to easily kill a turret stronghold of the devil! ”

"The armored train of the little devil is indeed a behemoth for ordinary infantry. Not only is it armed with artillery and a large number of light and heavy machine guns, but it also blocks bullets. However, he could not block the direct fire of the infantry guns. When the time comes, we will use two infantry guns against the little devils and an armored train, and we will definitely be able to destroy them easily! ”

"The devil infantry escorting the train, we have heavy machine guns, mortars, and two companies of infantry, you should not be afraid!"

"As for the devil reinforcements, after the train, we have troops and heavy firepower to clean them up!"

"In the end, it's time to transport the capture, I'm waiting for someone now, as long as he arrives, we can transport more seizures back to the base area!"
